"Hou Ye! Hou Ye! No!"


    The sound of fire came hurriedly from the front hall, passed through the courtyard and fell next to Tang Hao''s ear.


    He woke up vaguely from his bed, uncovered several layers of gauze, and Tang Hao sat up.


    At this time, Tang Hao didn''t know what was so urgent.


    Wearing a single coat, Tang Hao didn''t care to wash and went outside his bedroom.


    The impatient urging sound came again with Tang Hao''s opening the door.


    "Hou Ye! Go and have a look!"


    "Something happened to the earth kiln!"


    Tang Hao looked up and saw that he was the kiln worker of the earth kiln, responsible for the brick burning of the whole earth kiln.


    What happened to the earth kiln?


    An ominous premonition surged into my heart in an instant.


    Just at this moment, Tang Hao was sleepless.


    He tied the waist band at will. Tang Hao met the kiln worker and walked outside the house.


    "It''s been fired for several days. There''s no problem with one."


    "What happened today?"


    The kiln worker looked sad and compensated Tang Hao as he walked.


    "My Lord! It''s all my subordinates'' fault!"


    "We''ve never fired this brick before. It''s inevitable that we''re in a hurry. I don''t know that bastard poured a lot of screened stones in when he added coal cakes!"


    "The people behind only know to add coal cakes, but they don''t glance at it..."


    Tang Hao didn''t finish listening to the later words, but his heart relaxed.


    Originally thought it was the kiln worker who suffered an accident, but never thought it was the wrong place to buy coal cakes!


    A false alarm!


    Now the temperature is hot, and with the burning day and night, adding the wrong coal cake, Tang Hao can understand.


    In other words, even if a kiln of mud bricks cannot be fired, all that is wasted is the money to buy a kiln.


    The hurried pace slowed down with his thoughts. Looking at the kiln worker beside him, Tang Hao smiled faintly.


    "No problem. It''s not too late for me to see."


    After entering the courtyard, Tang Hao saw three naked men kneeling in the courtyard.


    When Tang Hao came, the three kowtowed and made amends at the same time.


    "My Lord, I know my mistake! I was sleepy last night. I took a nap and burned the stones as coal cakes!"


    "I don''t dare anymore! I hope the marquis will forgive me!"


    For these poor children, Tang Hao is a senior official in the imperial city. One finger can kill their whole family and death.


    Working for such a person, even burning the most useless Yellow mud, is like refining a golden elixir.


    If there is a slight difference, it means that the head may fall to the ground.


    In his ear, Tang Hao felt a little unnatural with the cry of begging for mercy and the sound of kowtowing to the ground.


    Waving to make several people stand up, Tang Hao asked, looking at three people with gray faces and blood stains on their forehead.


    "When was the stone added?"


    The three kiln workers were like children who made mistakes, hanging their heads and holding their hands behind their backs.


    After looking at each other, a man answered timidly.


    "This kiln has been fired for more than three days. It should have been three days ago."


    Tang Hao stopped talking and turned to the uncovered kiln.


    The scorching heat hasn''t completely dissipated. If you walk closer, you can still feel the feeling of baking.


    Hands on bricks and stones are still hot. Some bricks and stones show another color probably because of the change of temperature, while nearly half of them are covered with small cracks, probably because of the addition of stones and uneven temperature.


    With this red brick, Tang Hao''s heart is still a little excited.


    After all, it''s the first kiln. It''s good to burn like this.


    Seeing that Tang Hao didn''t look into Chaikou, the three hesitated. Considering Tang Hao''s identity, they frankly pointed it out to Tang Hao.


    "Lord, those stones are in these places."


    Speaking in the direction of his fingers, Tang Hao squatted down and reflected some morning light in the gap. It was obvious that some large and small pimples stuffed half of the kiln bottom.


    "Don''t worry, wait until the brick temperature drops down and classify these bricks and stones."


    "If there are cracks, the ones with incorrect color shall be placed aside, and the fired ones shall be placed aside."


    The leading kiln worker took Tang Hao to check the situation of the other four kilns.


    Generally speaking, it is much better than I thought. There are not so many broken bricks and broken bricks.


    The villagers who make mud bricks are also very honest. The fired red bricks are relatively fine, and there are not too many small holes and bubbles in the middle.


    I was about to say two words of relief. Looking back, I saw that the three kilns had begun to unload the bricks on the frame.


    Tang Hao really admired these three people. They were all hot when they touched them. They just pretended that nothing was wrong and worked very hard.


    "It''s not urgent to wait until the bricks and stones cool down."


    Perhaps in the eyes of these three people, Tang Hao''s failure to investigate is the greatest forgiveness for them.


    At this time, only by working hard can we resolve the guilt in our hearts. In addition to answering, we still don''t forget the work in our hands.


    "Don''t worry, Lord. We''re used to it. It''s not hot at all."


    Simple words, like a feather, fell on Tang Hao''s heart.


    With the help of these simple people, why do you worry that your kiln can''t grow in Yangzhou?


    Even if the king of Tang did not allocate much money, even if the Gongshu clan did not help, the houses he wanted to build would surely stand in Yangzhou, and the ships he wanted to build would still sail thousands of miles on the waves.
