Han Du smiled and shook his head and said: "It's still different. Without this, people would have to use a basin to fetch water. Now with this thing, it is very convenient. You can use water anytime you need it."
"Besides, even if I don't add this thing, the water used in such a small building can only be collected manually."
Lao Zhu lowered his head, turned on the water with his right hand, and then closed it again. He repeated this many times, just to see if this thing worked. As a result, Lao Zhu found that it was indeed what Han Du said. With such a change,
It does not increase the trouble of carrying water. But it is much more convenient to use water.
Even Lao Zhu had to admire Han Du's ingenuity in his heart and said complainingly, "I think you just want to lead my ministers to extravagance."
"Your Majesty, I have been wronged." Han Du suddenly cried out his grievance.
Lao Zhu directly waved his hand and interrupted his words, and said seriously: "You are not wronged. Since you have built these things, I can't demolish them in vain. But I have said something ugly before, if it is because of these extravagant things of yours
, causing corruption among our officials, then you can try to survive for me."
After that, Lao Zhu went downstairs without looking back and walked straight out of the small building. .??.??
Han Du quickly followed, but he couldn't help but curse in his heart. What does their corruption have to do with him?
He was about to open his mouth to refute, but was glared back by Lao Zhu with a cold look.
Han Du quickly changed his words and said flatteringly: "Your Majesty, these two places don't have names yet. Why don't you ask the Emperor to give them names with his pen?"
Lao Zhu thought for a while, and he also felt that if his name was given here in his own hand, it would serve as a warning to the officials at all times. He nodded and agreed, "Okay, bring me the pen and ink."
Han Du turned around and waved outside, and several maids came over with pens, ink, paper and inkstones.
Lao Zhu picked up his pen and looked around. After a moment, he laid down his desk and wrote down two names one after another.
"Qing Zheng Fang" "Lian Jie Fang"
"Integrity and integrity, a good name, the emperor is indeed very knowledgeable and talented." Han Du clapped his hands and laughed, "With the emperor's handwriting here, all the officials will be alert to themselves when they see it every day."
There is something Han Du didn't say. In this case, even if they are greedy for ink, it has nothing to do with him. After all, your old handwriting cannot suppress them, so how can you make all officials not corrupt?
Lao Zhu had no intention of getting serious with Han Du. After looking at him, he put down his pen and drove back to the palace.
Immediately afterwards, news about "Qing Zheng Fang" and "Lian Jie Fang" began to spread in the capital.
.According to insiders, Qingzhengfang, which is located near Baoen Temple, was just named by the emperor in the hope that the officials who live here can clean themselves up. And most of the people who will live here are five years old.
An important official of the imperial court who is ranked 1st, 4th or 3rd grade.
Lian Jie Fang is naturally located at the foot of Qingliang Mountain, where officials below the sixth rank will live. Giving the name Lian Jie naturally hopes that these officials can abide by their integrity.
The highlight is who spreads all the news about the various tube buildings, small buildings, houses, three-in houses, etc. in "Qingzhengfang" and "Lianjiefang" to the streets.
So much so that the gossipy people in the capital were immediately attracted by the various miraculous things boasted about. Everyone was enthusiastically talking about the various houses in "Qing Zheng Fang" and "Lian Jie Fang", even the officials were no exception.
After all, they are the most direct beneficiaries and the upcoming owners of these houses. What grade they are and what kind of houses they can be assigned to, everyone has gone through it in their minds countless times before the court orders. Even each one
Officials have accurately calculated what kind of houses they can be allocated.
Those who can be assigned to a house are naturally happy, and those who are assigned to a small building are also good. Even if they are assigned to a tube building, no one has any objections. Because everything is open and transparent, you can be assigned a house according to its grade.
Han Du had dinner and was sitting on a chair, holding a teacup in his hand and drinking to relieve his greasy taste.
An Qing stood thoughtfully behind Han Du and gently rubbed his forehead.
Han Du felt that he felt better, so he grabbed An Qing's hand and said softly: "You are tired of taking care of the child, so take a rest first."
An Qing sat down and asked casually: "Since Qingzhengfang and Lianjiefang have been built, why don't you hand it over to the court now? There are all kinds of news flying around outside now, and I don't know how many people are there every day.
We are discussing this matter."
Han Du smiled and shook his head and said, "How can it be so fast?"
An Qing was surprised and asked: "You mean, Qingzhengfang and Lianjiefang haven't been built yet? But my father has already visited them."
Seeing this, Han Du had no choice but to explain to her: "In general, the house has been repaired, but there are still some flowers, plants, trees, rockeries, ponds, fish, etc. that need to be repaired slowly. What the emperor saw was just that I specially made it."
It’s just a prototype, and it will take another two months to complete it. The emperor also knows this."
An Qing was a little confused and didn't know what Han Du was thinking, and asked: "But since the cultivation has not been completed yet, why are you so eager to release the news? You don't know, now everyone thinks that Qingzhengfang and
The Lian Jie House has been built, and we are waiting to be divided into houses."
Why? Let the news fly a little longer, of course!
Han Du looked at An Qing with a smile and explained: "The officials who should be anxious now are the officials who are waiting to be divided into houses, not me. It doesn't matter if I let the news out."
The reason why the news about Qingzhengfang and Lianjiefang spread throughout the capital in an instant, in addition to receiving a lot of attention from officials and people, is because Han Du deliberately let it out through storytellers. Otherwise, the entire capital, except Han Du,
Who else has such accurate information?
Han Du not only wanted to whet the appetite of those officials, but more importantly, he wanted to whet the appetite of the wealthy businessmen. After all, he had invested a hundred thousand yuan in building Qingzhengfang and Lianjiefang, and he had to find ways to double the money back.
The wool comes from the sheep, and if the wealthy businessmen in the capital were not used to extract oil one by one, Han Du would feel that he was sorry for the money he spent.
In the inner city of the capital, in a Sanjin house, Yao Yue was lying on a deck chair, leisurely basking in the sun. The reason why she fell in love with basking in the sun was because Han Du once said that more sun rays are good for the stomach.
The kids here are fine.
Of course, Han Du didn't tell her this directly. Yao Yue only heard it from others, but she remembered it firmly.
This Sanjin house was a property bought by Yao Yue in the inner city. Only Xiangxue and Yanxue knew about it, and she did not even tell Han Du.
Since that day, after she left Jiaofangsi, she did not return to her original house, but came directly to live here.
He lives in seclusion and rarely appears on the street.
At first, Yao Yue was not sure that she would be able to get pregnant in one go. She also planned how to find a chance to do it again if she couldn't get pregnant.
Perhaps God was blessing her. In the second month, Yao Yue was surprised to find that her relatives had not come. At this time, she was full of excitement, but she was not completely sure yet.
And after waiting for another month worrying about gains and losses, the relatives still didn't come, so Yaoyue was 100% sure.
From then on, Yao Yue never left the hospital. Four maids she personally selected took care of her in her daily life.
These maids are all passed by Yao Yue
After many times of secret observation, she was carefully selected. Whether it was their character or their work, they were all satisfactory to her. In addition, she went out of her way to get closer to a few people, and the maids completely regarded Yao Yue as theirs.
She is the backbone of the family and obeys her every word.
As each month passed, Yao Yue's belly gradually swelled.
At this time, several maids also guessed why Yao Yue chose not to leave the house.
She gave birth to a child out of wedlock! If outsiders find out about this, they will be stabbed in the spine for the rest of their lives.
It has to be said that Yao Yue's caution was very effective. And she did not make any mistake. These four maids were indeed honest people. Even if they knew Yao Yue's important secret, no one had any evil intentions.
Instead, he took care of her more carefully.
Yao Yue lay down and ate cakes leisurely. Since her belly got bigger and bigger, she felt more and more hungry, as if she couldn't eat enough. Therefore, the maid was at her hand, ready to go anytime and anywhere.
Pastry.
At this moment, the maid trotted over in a hurry.
When Yao Yue saw it, she supported her forehead with one hand and asked softly: "What's wrong?"
"Miss, there are two girls asking to be seen outside the door." The maid said nervously, and added, "Do you want me to send them away?"
The maid also knows the seriousness. Things like pregnancy before marriage must not be spread. Therefore, no one can come in and see the scene in front of the young lady.
Yao Yue's beautiful eyebrows frowned slightly, her red lips parted slightly, "Did you tell me who the visitor is?"
"They said they were young ladies' old acquaintances, and one of them was named Xiangxue." The maid recalled it for a moment and replied truthfully.
Yao Yue immediately beamed and said, "It doesn't matter, they are all my good sisters, let them come in."
Yao Yue also guessed that Xiangxue and Yanxue were probably looking for her, but she had to be just in case, so she had to ask the maid for details.
Now that I heard that Xiangxue and Yanxue are here, I can naturally invite them in.
But the maid didn't know the relationship between Yao Yue and the two of them. After hearing Yao Yue's instructions, she was still a little hesitant and asked tentatively: "Miss, do you really want to invite them in? Come here?"
"Yes." Yao Yue nodded slightly. Ever since she became pregnant, she felt as if she could no longer stand the fatigue, so she kept her words as brief as possible.
"Okay, young lady, I'll go right away." Seeing Yao Yue's affirmative nod, the maid bowed slightly, then turned and walked towards the door of the middle courtyard.
