Chapter 1884 A long way to go
The dock in Tongzhou was busy, and the villagers unloaded the cargo on the boat. When they saw a group of people standing on the side and pointing at the shore, they couldn't help but feel happy, thinking that they were here to find someone to work.
"Why don't you use pulleys?"
Fang Xing saw the villagers walking on the pier with a big wooden box, and asked the manager around him.
The manager was an official, and he smiled and said with a pity: "Brother, the pulley team is broken, and the person who went to the Ministry of Works to ask for wheels has not come back yet."
"Then just reduce a set of wheels, don't you even know this?"
The manager said awkwardly: "Old Master, someone knew it, but later he lost his place in the dock, and he was unwilling to carry the job, so he said he went to the city..."
The spread of science requires more, faster, and the road is long!
The pulley set has detailed explanations in those books, but no one can understand a dock. This discovery disappointed Fang Xing.
Seeing Fang Xing's expression unswerving expression, the manager pointed to the men who were putting the goods in the car and said, "Your Majesty, this track leads directly to the main road. Two horses can easily pull a truck of goods over, saving a lot of trouble!"
"You have a great ability to change the topic. If you can turn this ability into ability and manage the dock in an orderly manner, then I don't think you will still be here now."
Fang Xing refuted the affairs mercilessly, then walked forward, watching a civilian man throw the whip, the two horses moved gently, and then gradually pulled the track cart.
It has not rained recently, and the track is bright and clanging. Fang Xing reached out and touched it, feeling that it was smoother than a woman's skin.
"Be careful, sir!"
Xin Laoqi pulled Fang Xing, and then accelerated the carriage and rushed over Fang Xing.
"Brother Chen, you are looking for death!"
The manager saw this scene on the side and was so scared that Maomao sweated. He pointed at the coachman and scolded, "Get out!"
After Fang Xing stood firm, he saw the driver sitting on the shaft of the carriage and was smiling and apologizing, and said, "Forget it, this is Ben Bo's negligence, and he doesn't blame him."
Such a playful person naturally had some help to deal with him. Fang Xing pointed ahead and walked over with Jin Ying, Zhu Fang and others.
There are more than three hundred steps ahead, and there is a large piece of flat ground on the left. There are a few thatched huts here at this time, with tables and stools outside, and some tea and meals hanging.
Jin Ying introduced: "Xinghe Bo, there was no one here at first, but later the ore and grain in the south were gone, so the people spontaneously built some food shops. But this is a trivial matter, so our family just told them to get out."
Fang Xing stared at him, looked up and down for a while, and then said, "When Jin Ying started laughing dryly, he said, "Who did someone do his own business?"
Jin Ying defended: "Xinghe Bo, this place is unowned, so it is not illegal to let them move away!"
"The law is not a favor!"
Fang Xingxiong measured the land and said with satisfaction: "Yes, after measuring the land, Zhu Fang will immediately make a map and then recruit civilians to carry out construction."
Zhu Fang had a plan in his mind, and he said: "Master, the terrain here is wide and there is also the downstream of the canal. I think it will be convenient to store water at that time, and it will not affect the dock."
Jin Ying made very well prepared, and he said proudly: "There are even fewer people downstream, but unfortunately it is not in the suburbs of Beijing, but there is a natural place to build dams."
"But the ore and large items in the workshop are not easy to transport on land, so it is convenient to get close to the canal."
Zhu Fang is more like a technical mate, and has no taboos for the so-called eunuchs. She pushed Jin Ying's amateur out loud.
Jin Ying glanced at him habitually, Fang Xing stepped over and said, "Don't affect the canal. Also, the money and grain provided by the Ministry of Revenue must be distributed by a dedicated person. If something goes wrong, Jin Ying, you know the consequences."
Jin Ying was shocked and then she remembered that she was not the emperor's side now. He quickly responded and then communicated with Zhu Fang about the number of people needed by the civil servants.
"Five hundred people, just follow this number to tell the Ministry of Revenue."
Jin Ying wanted to strangle Zhu Fang to death, but Fang Xing was beside him, so he had to whisper: "Are you a fool? How can five hundred people be enough? At least one thousand people are needed."
Zhu Fang looked at him in confusion and frowned: "Do you think the workshop is the idiots from the Works Department? We have tools to do our work, so how can we use so many people?"
Jin Ying was stumbled by Zhu Fang for a moment, and a gloomy look flashed in his eyes, and he said, "Our family has the final say in the workshop."
As soon as Zhu Fang's bull temper came up, she said, "Then you do it yourself!"
It wasn't Fang Xing's greeting, Zhu Fang was still staying in his beloved workshop, doing various experiments, so he didn't have the time to go out for an outing.
Yes, the group looked like they were on an outing until someone came to deliver a message.
"Brother, the queen is sick."
"Why did you come in person?"
Fang Xing felt a little chilled when he heard this, but Shenyang said awkwardly: "Brother, Yan Hui..."
"You can't have a little bit of worrying about the country and the people?"
Fang Xing got on his horse and turned around and shouted, "You will continue to survey, and follow Zhu Fang's meaning, and come back and report it."
When Jin Ying heard this, her face turned dark, but Zhu Fang muttered dissatisfied: "This matter should be the responsibility of the Ministry of Works, why did she find me on my head?"
Fang Xing rode his horse all the way to Beijing, but he did not enter the palace, but waited for news at home.
"My uncle, I'm afraid this is... Does anyone dare to take risks?"
Huang Zhong had already gathered a lot of news, but most of them were rumors. He sorted out and said in confusion: "There was no panic in the palace. It can be seen that the queen's condition is not critical, but there are rumors outside that there are noses and eyes, saying that this child is probably a problem."
"Fuck!"
Fang Xing suddenly swears and then curses: "It's my fault for this matter. Shuhui has a good relationship with the queen. Those people want someone to take the queen down. Then, the queen who has a grudge with the Fang family will be replaced. When the next generation comes, the prince who has been influenced by hatred will probably have been thinking about how to kill me since he was a child!"
Huang Zhong put away a stack of papers and comforted him: "Don't worry, your Majesty is here!"
...
"Grandmaster, I'm here!"
Hu Shanxiang lay on the bed with pale complexion. She nodded and said, "Yes, I am just worried that the child will suffer, so it's better not to use medicine."
After hearing this, the two imperial physicians couldn't help looking at each other. One of them said, "Empress, the Imperial Hospital has many prescriptions that are harmless to the fetus...all are proven prescriptions."
Hu Shanxiang shook his head and said firmly: "It's the medicine that is three parts poisonous, and the child is delicate and can't stand it."
"You are here."
Zhu Zhanji lifted the curtain and walked in. When he saw Hu Shanxiang's appearance, he frowned and said, "If you should take medicine, just take medicine. By the way, what disease is it?"
The imperial physician replied: "Your Majesty, it's wind and cold."
Zhu Zhanji breathed a sigh of relief. Seeing that Hu Shanxiang wanted to get up, he pressed his hands and said, "Lying down and taking medicine."
Hu Shanxiang said: "Your Majesty, if you have a fetus, you cannot take medicine."
Zhu Zhanji frowned, and a cold breath echoed indoors.
Since he ascended the throne, no one dared to oppose him except the Empress Dowager in the palace.
The two imperial physicians retreated to the side, ready to avoid the upcoming storm.
Yian stood behind, desperately winking Hu Shanxiang, just under Yu Jia's nose, his eyes turned rapidly.
