Chapter 285 The Key Lies in the Deposit

Lu Huaishen complained that he was hungry, Yao Chong thought that the new technology would be useful, and Zhang said that he was in a daze.

A beautiful carriage strolled by, stopped somewhere, and got down to be alone.

He ignored the group of craftsmen who were eating and walked to the well alone to see someone pressing water there.

The well has just been drilled and the water still appears turbid. Once the well is pressed, it will become clear.

"There is actually a good way to dig a well. I came a step late. I drilled a hole as big as the mouth of a bowl and inserted a bamboo tube to protect the wall of the well. What a good idea and a good method."

The man walked around the well and came to a craftsman who was eating dried radish stew: "Can't we dig a new well this afternoon?"

"Drill, one well on the other side, and two more tomorrow, four wells." The craftsman said, taking a mouthful of yellow rice.

The man turned back to the car and called to the driver and a boy to take out the charcoal brazier in the car and add new charcoal.

Set a thin copper pot on top, and pour the cooked mutton and chopped green onion from the bones into it.

The coachman and the boy don't eat together. The two of them take a bowl and wait. When it's ready, each of them can take some.

In another rented car, Zhang said he opened the curtains and looked outside and saw it.

He said to Lu Huaishen: "Huaishen, there is food to eat. Old Wei just came and set up the pot."

"Where are you?" Lu Huaishen poked his head over and got out of the car.

"Yuanzhi, aren't you going?" Zhang said he was still hungry and went to eat Wei Zhigu's meal.

"Why don't you go?" Yao Chongcai didn't care about the past, how could he become the prime minister if he was so thin-skinned?

The three of them walked over.

Zhang said to take a look and said: "Get in the car to eat, and don't go out anymore. Your car is your identity. I'll wait and come over. The banker on Zhuangzi will come out of the car and tell Li Yi when he sees it."

"I didn't bring much meat." Wei Zhigu had no choice but to ask someone to carry him into the car. There was no light outside to eat in the car.

"Have a sip of soup and you'll be satisfied." Lu Huaishen was indeed hungry.

Wei Zhigu's car was big, so when he got in the car, when he saw the meat and other food on display, Lu Huaishen despised: "I'm eating from your mouth, and you lied to me to wait."

"Your family has no money and you are always hungry. I am afraid that you are too good at eating." Wei Zhigu joked, looking in a good mood.

The four of them sat down and waited for the soup in the pot to boil.

"My new house will be built in half a month. I'll meet you all for dinner inside." Lu Huaishen was always thinking about the house.

He is different from Wei Zhigu. His family is large, but they did not buy him a house in Chang'an.

Wei Zhigu's grandfather was Wei Zheng. Li Shimin's mirror was pushed to the tombstone after his death, and Li Shimin then rebuilt it.

The house we live in is our ancestral home, otherwise how could we be next to the imperial city.

Several of his sons have also gotten married and become officials. He spends his salary on his own, plus the ancestral property, and his life is good.

Therefore, if you don’t go to someone’s home in heaven, they will also have mutton to eat.

"Zhigu, have you seen the new well-drilling technology?" Lu Huaishen scooped sauce and chive flower sauce into a small bowl for himself, waiting to dip the mutton in it.

"I only saw the well. I never thought it would be completed so quickly in one morning." Wei Zhigu looked sad.

"Li Yi took action and said he would dig a well in half an hour, and I believed it." Zhang said he didn't like eating chive flowers, so he scooped out vinegar and soy sauce and added chopped green onion.

Yao Chong put in a lot of seasonings, including sesame oil and minced garlic.

After adjusting it, he said: "With the new method, how can I get it? You can dig a water well or a salt well."

"Salt well?" Wei Zhigu was stunned at first, and then suddenly said: "Sichuan well salt, my God! There is such a technology..."

"Don't think about it. If your Majesty's prediction is correct, proper arrangements have been made. You dug a well and want to get it directly?" Zhang Shuo asked.

"I want it from Your Majesty." Wei Zhigu stopped talking about going to Zhuangzi.

"The King of Song is here, ask the King of Song." Lu Huaishen gave an idea.

"Okay." Wei Zhigu followed Shan Ruliu and ordered his servant to invite the King of Song.

The boy went over and whispered a few words to Li Chengqi. Li Chengqi came over with a small casserole. He ate all the food and could not throw it away.

After entering the car, Li Chengqi was not surprised at all when he saw the three prime ministers there.

He put down his casserole: "Wei Shangshu wants a new drilling method?"

"Can it be told externally?" Wei Zhigu was nervous.

"But you can't keep the secret if you take it out, unless you have a dedicated construction team to prevent others from getting a closer look." Li Chengqi said in an easy-to-talk manner.

"I represent the people of the world..."

"Wei Shangshu, you can't do it for me, but I can give you the technology. However, the Ministry of Works feels that the cost of drilling wells is lower than others? If not, why should the Ministry of Works do it?"

My third brother's money can be used to build three wells for others and two wells for the Ministry of Industry. What if one less well is missing? "

Li Chengqi asked a very practical question. For the same money, working more or less will make a difference, right?

"How can others save money than the Ministry of Industry?" Wei Zhigu argued.

"Others can develop new technologies, but the Ministry of Industry has never done so." Li Chengqi said something heart-breaking.

Wei Zhigu gasped twice and felt depressed.

Li Chengqi continued: "What kind of work do you think the people from the Ministry of Industry can compare with the craftsmen of Li Yizhuangzi?"

"Maybe it's dredging...?" Wei Zhigu said uncertainly.

"Did Shangshu Wei forget how to use water to wash away the sand?"

Li Chengqi reminded, last time you asked the junior officials under the Ministry of Industry to go to Zhuangzi to ask, how many technologies have been obtained, don't you have an idea?

"There has to be a comparison. You can't just say which one is faster and cheaper. That's the one." Wei Zhigu was unconvinced.

"Wei Shangshu, look, if we divide the area where wells need to be dug into blocks, block by block, every block..."

Li Chengqi began to explain to Wei Zhigu the methods he learned from Li Yi.

For one area, UU Reading www.uukanshu.net invites bidding once. If the Ministry of Industry has its own construction team, it can participate in the bidding.

Whoever offers the lowest price, good quality, and fast speed will naturally be chosen.

You have to leave a deposit, if you can't do that, the money will be deducted.

"Okay, this method is good." Lu Huaishen picked up a piece of mutton and agreed.

"Isn't it too cumbersome?" Wei Zhigu didn't want to agree. He didn't know the cost and time of drilling a well yet.

The Artisan Alliance has already been established, and we need to continue to do so as we gain experience.

How does the Ministry of Industry find people to bid? If the work is slow, the money will be deducted. Whose money will be deducted?

"What did Prime Minister Yao say?" Li Chengqi asked Yao Chong.

"That's right." Yao Chong told the truth. His Majesty provided the money, and the Ministry of Works worked hard to catch people and kill people.

Zhang said that without waiting for Li Chengqi to ask, he took the initiative and said: "I second the proposal."

Wei Zhigu lowered his head and thought, and sighed: "It is indeed a good idea, but who will take care of it?"

"The Ministry of Works, the Ministry of Works sent personnel to inspect various areas. Of course, others will secretly look at it. If the personnel of the Ministry of Works and the construction team work together to make fraud..."

Li Chengqi didn't say anything else.

"When will the new law be spread to the outside world?" Wei Zhigu prepared to learn.

"That's it for today. If others are willing to look at it, they can look at it in the afternoon and drill it tomorrow. The tools are placed nearby, so you can look and learn by yourself."

Li Chengqi is generous, come and teach you all.

After hearing this, the three prime ministers looked at each other and confirmed that it was already too late to leave Shu.

After dinner, Wei Zhigu asked someone to go back to the Ministry of Industry and call for someone.

The three prime ministers returned to the political hall for work, and Li Chengqi quietly asked his men to bring the other two alliances over.

"Smelting technology needs to keep up, and good steel is used on the cutting edge." Li Chengqi thought of the drilling knife, but if the knife is not good, it cannot drill.
