In Zhu Biao's view, there is no hope at all for what Han Du wants to do now.
The trouble now is that Han Du doesn't think so, he just doesn't give up, and still tries to embarrass himself in this way.
Zhu Biao didn't want to see the memorial left by Han Du, but when he thought about his father's evaluation of Han Du's memorial last time, he felt like a kitten scratching his heart and couldn't help but be curious.
The memorial that Zhu Biao had read made him couldn't help but be amazed, especially after Han Du's explanations one by one, he was even more impressed. Now there are several new ones in front of him, and Zhu Biao must
If you don't look at it, it's really like letting an old florist see a peerless beauty but not letting him get his hands on it; letting an old gourmet who loves food see a large table of supreme delicacies but not letting him eat it.
He slowly sat up and picked up a memorial. He was holding the memorial so lightly just now, but now he was holding it in Zhu Biao's hand. He only felt that it was extremely heavy.
Zhu Biao didn't want to be fooled by Han Du, and wanted to restrain himself from reading the memorial. But at the same time, he also shouted a voice in his heart, "It's just a look, what's the big deal? After reading it, no matter what
Isn't it enough not to go to Han Du to solve his doubts? As long as he doesn't go to him, then he has no reason to ask him to help him. In this way, even if he sees it, Han Du can't do anything about him.
'
To watch or not to watch? This is a difficult question.
In the end, Zhu Biao still couldn't control his curiosity and slowly opened the memorial. As he opened it, he was thinking that Han Du's memorial was praised by his father last time. Maybe that was Han Du's peak.
Learning is like writing poetry. How can we write eternal quatrains every time? No, learning is even more difficult than writing poetry. Many people cannot write a single sentence in their lifetime.
If these memorials are of the same standard as the last one, then how capable is Han Du to be able to do this?
impossible things!
After doing this self-comfort, Zhu Biao opened the memorial much more smoothly.
"On the Revenue of the Crown and the State"
The big characters that caught his eye made Zhu Biao's eyes light up. This was indeed Han Du's style. Even the name was the same as the last time.
Hmm~ It looks a little weird.
At the same time, these words also made Zhu Biao feel nervous, "Han Du couldn't really write something as profound and knowledgeable as last time. If so, wouldn't it mean that I have fallen into his trap?"
?'
So delicious!
Although Zhu Biao was still resisting in his heart, his eyes were already shining and he began to browse word by word.
After Zhu Biao finished reading, he came back to his senses.
I sighed, I took all precautions, but I still fell into Han Du's trick! The memorial is a good memorial. The various examples, various angles, and various theories in it gave Zhu Biao a sense of enlightenment. He was like a
The traveler walking in the fog suddenly saw the light of the lighthouse.
But at the same time, more and more doubts emerged in his mind, making him stand at the door of Kuai Laoyuan, but he couldn't get in. He was going crazy with frustration.
Rubbing his forehead, Zhu Biao felt that Han Du's memorial was poisonous, and he threw it back on the desk.
Huh? When did I pick up another book?
When he felt that he touched a new memorial, his splitting headache disappeared instantly. Not only that, Zhu Biao also felt that his mind was extremely clear now, as if he was preparing for a big battle.
.
This time, Zhu Biao opened the memorial without hesitation, intending to read it first before talking about it. Anyway, you should read a book and read it after reading it. As the saying goes, "If you have too many debts, you don't have to worry; if you have too many lice, you don't need to itch."
As for what to do when Han Du needs to solve his doubts?
Uh~
I don’t have any good ideas, but the boat will be straight when it reaches the bridge, and we’ll talk about it then.
...
In the days that followed, Han Du went about his business as if nothing had happened.
Zhu Biao never summoned Han Du again.
On this day, Mr. Huang came to report. "Sir, the roadbed at the coal mine has been completed according to your request. When will you go over and take a look?"
Han Du thought about it in his mind. Although the words took a long time, he thought that the craftsmen in the banknote bureau were very busy. They could build the road bed with limited manpower. Those craftsmen had already made great efforts, so he decided
Nothing was said.
He nodded and responded: "Let's go and see it together now."
"Yes." Huang Lao replied.
At the Banknote Bureau, although the cotton has been put in place, the printing of new banknotes has been temporarily stopped because Handu has not prepared the potion for making cotton slurry. As for the production of cement and blast furnace steelmaking,
Everyone is watching. So Mr. Huang, the leader of the craftsmen, who used to be very busy, is now free and has time to accompany Han Du to the coal mine.
As for why Handu didn't start preparing potions after the cotton arrived, Handu naturally had his own considerations.
These days, because of Princess Anqing's incident, even Zhu Biao couldn't help him. Han Du suddenly realized something, that is, whether he was making cement or making steel in a blast furnace, strictly speaking, these things were
Belonging to the imperial court.
If Lao Zhu was thicker-skinned, or if it was necessary, Han Du would be able to do none of these things with just one order.
This is the result of Han Du's inexperience. It was obviously something he came up with, but in the end it became the property of the imperial court. As for Lao Zhu spending money to buy skills from him, it was just Lao Zhu who felt it was unnecessary and was teasing him.
He was just playing.
If you want to prepare a good potion, you must use glassware, because only glassware can make some things that Handu needs.
Originally, glass smelting was just a matter of Han Du's words. He had already prepared the ore rails for the coal mine, so he started to let the Banknote Bureau bake glass. After all, the Banknote Bureau had ready-made kilns for firing cement.
Experience shows that it is much more convenient to bake.
But now he has changed his mind. Naturally, the glass still has to be fired at the banknote bureau, but he is not ready to tell others the recipe. The recipe for glass can only be known to him.
Han Du now wants Lao Zhu to surrender, so naturally the more chips he has in his hand, the better.
The two came to the coal mine.
Han Du looked at the road under his feet, which was only one meter wide. It was completely incomparable to the thirty-mile road next to it that led directly to the capital, both in length and width.
But Han Du's expectations for this road are no less than that one.
After checking carefully along the roadbed, Han Du nodded. "Are the rails and other things ready?"
Mr. Huang nodded and replied: "Everything else needed is ready, but there are still a few rails that have not been transported. It will probably be dark tomorrow before they can all be transported. After all, this rail only weighs 500 kilograms, which is still a bit too heavy.
, even if there are newly built cement roads, it is not easy to transport. If it were before, we would not even think about being able to transport the rails."
Han Du listened and said nonchalantly: "It's okay. If it's not easy to transport, just transport it slowly. It takes time to lay this thing anyway, so don't rush. The most important thing is, don't get bumped."
The most important thing about a rail is the flatness of the rail surface. If it is deformed by a bump, then the rail is considered useless.
Huang Lao nodded, indicating that he had remembered everything.
Next, Han Du began to instruct the craftsmen to lay the track.
Han Du worked tirelessly for several days before instructing the craftsmen to lay the track. Fortunately, God gave him favor these days, and the sky was clear every day, so everything went smoothly for Han Du. If it rained, I'm afraid
It would also take him a lot of time.
However, this also had a disadvantage, that is, after a few days, Han Du suddenly realized that he seemed to be tanned by the sun.
The track laying was completed, and the two tracks, which were slightly yellowed because they were painted with tung oil, had a different kind of beauty in the eyes of the craftsmen.
This is what they built bit by bit with their hands. Standing next to the track, I don’t know why, but my chest is filled with a feeling that is strangely connected to the track.
Everyone gathered around Han Du. Among them, Mr. Huang rubbed his calloused palms and asked, "Sir, what should we do next?"
"What's next?" Han Du glanced around with a smile on his face, then turned back to look at the track in front of him, and said pointedly: "The next step is to try to see if it can work."
"It can be done! It can definitely be done." These craftsmen were even more excited than Han Du. Without waiting for Han Du to try, they all said affirmatively in unison.
After hearing this, Mr. Huang waved his hand and said, "Quick, pull the thing up."
The craftsman who received Huang Lao's order quickly went to the opposite side.
Handu designed the track into a loop, laying it from the mountainside to the cement road, and then extending back to the mountainside from the other side, forming a closed loop. After the mine car is filled with coal ore on the mountainside, it can
Put it down directly, wait until the coal ore is unloaded next to the cement road, and then return to the mountainside through the track on the other side.
To this end, Handu also designed a winch with pulleys on the other side to pull the empty mine car.
With the stirring of the winch, an empty mine cart was quickly pulled up.
The craftsmen began to quickly weigh the coal ore and pour it into the mine cart. The mine cart was soon filled about two-thirds of the way.
Huang Lao then signaled the craftsman to stop and stop pretending.
Seeing this, Han Du thought for a while and ordered: "For the first try, load a little more and completely fill the mine cart."
Hearing this, Mr. Huang hesitated and asked: "Sir, for this first try, is it appropriate to pretend less? When you are done, you can pretend more."
This is a common problem among people at this time. Because of the lack of supplies, they cherish things more.
