Chapter 12

Li Shimin watched from the brick factory. Fang Xuanling was so shocked that he couldn't speak since he entered the brick factory, because he had never seen many tools in it.

He is familiar with the Ministry of Works, and he is also familiar with the brick kilns of the Ministry of Works, but the tools here seem to save manpower more.

When they arrived in the brick kiln, they saw the bricks in neatly placed and the blue bricks were moved out by the merchants, and they were still hot. They were shocked.

"I really didn't expect that Boping still has such skills. The rumors in the city are like this. Oh, I believe them!" Fang Xuanling touched his beard, shook his head and sighed.

"I almost believed it. According to this calculation, it doesn't cost much to build those houses! These people are all households in the Qin Mansion and do not need wages. Look at them, how motivated they are, they are all rushing to work!" Li Shimin stood on a high ground, looking at the working people below and said.

"Yes, you don't know that Boping came here and the village door would not let Boping touch the mud. The farmers were grateful to Boping,

They all said that they never dreamed that they could live in a blue brick house. By the way, there were many people working in a few kilns over there!” Cheng Chusi said in admiration.

"Well, it should be good to the people, and the people will naturally be grateful!" Li Shimin nodded in agreement.

"Your Majesty, the old minister wants to build this blue brick house in his own village, 1,000 guan, and I can still save it in my house!

Once the blue brick house is built, there is no need to worry about the snow disaster. The heavy snow last winter, how many houses collapsed, crushed to death, and how many people were frozen to death, it depends on Boping!" Fang Xuanling stood there, saying to Li Shimin with a smile.

Li Shimin nodded.

"By the way, you said just now that Boping wanted to make some money from this, and this blue brick was also three bricks in one piece?" Li Shimin turned around and looked at Cheng Chusi and said.

"No, Boping said, such words are too expensive. He thought it would be ten bricks per cent. If a kiln is used in one month, he would be able to leave seven or eight pillars of money.

There are more than 30 kilns here, and there are two or three hundred stags a month, but now it can't sell them. Now our three houses are not enough. Here we can only make about 100,000 bricks a day, which is enough for two houses.

However, the new brick kiln is still under construction, and it is under construction by craftsmen from the Qin Mansion. Other people cannot get close to it. After all, this is also a craft!" Cheng Chusi explained to Li Shimin.

"Well, you told Boping that you can make 15 bricks per cent. I will let him make this. I will also customize 2,000 jin of bricks here.

In addition, there are such barren mountains around. I will give it to him. He can just go and see it. Then I will inform the prefect of Chang'an, and I will give it to him!" Li Shimin stood there, pointing at the brick factory below, and said to Cheng Chusi.

"Ah, yes, I thank Your Majesty for Boping!" Cheng Chusi knelt down excitedly when he heard this.

He knew that fifteen bricks were also a big profit. Li Shimin now customized bricks worth 2,000 guan, which also expressed an attitude. In the future, the lords in the capital, if they wanted bricks, they would not dare to ask Qin Huaidao to give them away, but wanted to buy them!

"Okay, tell Boping that I am very pleased with this matter. I hope he will continue to do such things that benefit the country and the people. I will be rewarded with great rewards!" Li Shimin stood there with his hands behind his back, and said in a good mood.

"Your Majesty has forgotten that there are still many good things!" At this moment, Fang Xuanling added next to him.

"Oh?" Li Shimin looked at Fang Xuanling in confusion.

"Bricks are so cheap, so all the people in the country must need to buy bricks. In recent years, this brick factory must have to sell a large amount of bricks. So the people nearby and those refugees have some places to work. I just heard that it costs a penny a day, right?" Fang Xuanling asked at Cheng Chusi.

"Yes, it's all the price now!" Cheng Chusi nodded.

"I guess, just say, Your Majesty, you reserve a brick of 2,000 yuan. Boping needs to hire a lot of people to work, so that the people can make a living a little more! Qinzhuang's house is built with an ordinary four-bay house. The old minister estimated that 30,000 bricks are enough.

30,000 bricks only cost 2 guan. It is enough for ordinary people to save three or five years! And the blue brick house can definitely fight snow disasters! This also saves a lot of disaster relief expenses for the court! There are so many benefits in it!" Fang Xuanling touched his beard and said happily.

Last year's snow disaster almost left him helpless. In ordinary winter, as long as it snows heavily, the house will collapse and crush people to death. There is no way, the thatched roof and the rammed earth house cannot withstand it!

"Well, it's true, Cheng Chusi, tell Boping to do this well and try to produce more blue bricks. I need to pay all the bricks of 2,000 guan this year!

I have so many imperial villages nearby, and tens of thousands of houses have collapsed. I am worried about how to build a house. By the way, tell Boping that if there are too many bricks, I still want it!" Li Shimin nodded with satisfaction and said to Cheng Chusi.

"Your Majesty, this, the old minister also wants to buy some, and the old minister believes that the lords in the entire Chang'an want to buy bricks. You can get thousands of bricks at once, but Bo Ping can't get it!" Fang Xuanling looked at Li Shimin and said with a smile.

"Well, too, let Boping hurry up and do it!" Li Shimin nodded with a smirk, knowing that if the bricks are so cheap, then the lords of the entire Chang'an City would change to this one.

Soon, Li Shimin returned to the palace. This itinerary made Li Shimin very satisfied. After returning to the palace, Li Shimin scolded the eunuch, but he didn't punish him too much. After all, if it weren't for him saying this, Li Shimin wouldn't have known about this matter!

Cheng Chusi is still on duty and needs to wait until the evening before he can go to Qin Mansion!

However, Li Shimin's reward came down in the afternoon. When the eunuch came here to reward, Qin Huaidao was inexplicably rewarded. I don't know why he rewarded it? This time he gave a lot of rewards, 500 guan and 100 pieces of brocade and silk. After receiving the reward, everyone in the mansion was happy.

Qin Huaidao was also happy, but he was still confused in his heart!

Until evening, Cheng Chusi and Yuchi Baolin rushed over, and Qin Huaidao hurriedly ordered the servants to prepare the meal.

He called the two of them into the hall and sat down.

"Boping, make some of this chair and this one for me. I found that I like to sit like this. Make a set for me and I will bring the mahogany!" Cheng Chusi just sat down, holding the handle and said happily.

"Okay!" Qin Huaidao nodded with a smile.

"I'll do it too! It's so comfortable to sit like this!" Yuchi Baolin also smiled and said to Qin Huaidao. Qin Huaidao naturally agreed. After all, they made mahogany and made by their own craftsmen.

"His Majesty reward has you been given?" Cheng Chusi asked with a smile as he looked at Qin Huaidao.

"Well? Brother Cheng, I'm just wondering about this. Why did Your Majesty suddenly reward him?" Qin Huaidao immediately bowed his hand to Cheng Chusi and asked.

"Hahaha, Boping, the opportunity to make a lot of money in the Qin Mansion has come. This morning, Your Majesty went to your Xia Qinzhuang and the brick factory in person!" Cheng Chusi said happily when he saw Qin Huaidao's confusion.

"Ah, why don't you notify me?" Qin Huaidao was still very confused. He could notify him to come over to see him when he went to his farm.

"I asked, Your Majesty said you are in Ding You, so I won't disturb you. However, Your Majesty was very satisfied after seeing the brick factory, and also said that he would make 2,000 guan of bricks." Then Cheng Chusi narrated Li Shimin's trip to the brick factory with Qin Huaidao.

"Thank you, brother!" Qin Huaidao stood up after hearing this, bowed to Cheng Chusi and said, "If it weren't for him, I would probably be in trouble again today.

"It's okay, Boping, tomorrow you will be in the barren mountains. There are too many barren mountains there. I look like they are all like this. You have circled them all. I forget it. One cent is fifteen bricks. Some are very rich. Even if you hire someone to work, you can make money! And the profit is still very high!" Cheng Chusi said to Qin Huaidao with a smile.

"Well, Brother Cheng, Brother Yuchi, my family can't do this business, I have to work with you together!" Qin Huaidao thought for a while and said to them.

"That won't work! It's yours, it's yours!" When Yuchi Baolin heard this, she immediately stared at Boping and said.

"Don't come here, what do you think? We know, there is no need to do this!" Cheng Chusi also spoke.

"No, two brothers, let me tell you! I'll tell you that such a big brick factory is OK if I build 100 kilns. I've calculated a kiln, and only 12 people are enough. The monthly wage is only 360 yuan.

Even if I give them 2 cents a day, it will only be 720 cents. If a kiln sells bricks, it can cost more than 6 cents. According to the wishes of Your Majesty and Fang Pushe, even if I build 100 kilns, it is not enough!

In this year, it will be more than 7,000 yuan. Two brothers, do you think, can you keep such a great fortune if you are a younger brother?

If it doesn't work well, my brother will suffer a disaster. My brother wants to do it together with the three families, so that our family can be divided into two or three thousand guan a year, and that's enough!" Qin Huaidao sat there, saying respectfully to the two of them.

"This?" Cheng Chusi was a little embarrassed when he heard this. He didn't want to join the group, and he didn't dare to think about it!

"Two brothers, you can even call one or two families, and everyone can do it together. This is better. It is also good to get 1,000 guan in each mansion every year!" Qin Huaidao said to them again,

The two of them immediately understood what Qin Huaidao meant. It was actually a good strategy to share money and get peace.

"Well, then that's it. After I go back, I will discuss with my father and see what his father means!" When Yuchi Baolin heard this, she said to Qin Huaidao.
