The cute little milk bag, the group's pet, actually farms in the palace

Chapter 176 Forget it, let’s take a gamble!

They looked around and found that this place was really different. It was very obvious.

But anyone with a discerning eye could tell from the emperor's arrogant look that he was showing off to them.

Yu Zhongtian looked at the cement road on the ground, his eyes full of desire, and stood up and said to Xia Xuan.

"Your Majesty, I don't know who did this. I also want to repair my house."

Seeing that the prime minister had already taken the lead, the other ministers could only step back.

He even decorated his own house. Who knows if it is true or not? They don't believe that the prime minister will not be jealous.

The emperor put away the smile on his face and replaced it with his usual expression of keeping strangers away.

"Oh? My dear minister, you also want to renovate the mansion. Sure, these workers are all my royal craftsmen.

In the future, the roads outside will be repaired like this. If you can wait, you can come to me and make an appointment."

Xia Xuan said that these people were employed by the emperor, so they were naturally his men. This was also a warning to them not to have any ideas.

If they dare to pry the emperor's people away, they will be beheaded!

They immediately gave up the idea and remained silent.

The prime minister also knew what the emperor meant by this, but he still didn't want to give up, so he smiled and thanked him.

"Thank you so much, Your Majesty. Every time it rains, there is a lot of mud in my residence. If we could really have a road like this, it would definitely be great."

The Prime Minister said this, and he still wanted to let the craftsmen go to his mansion to build the road. Xia Xuan had no objection. Since he wanted to build it, then let him go.

Anyway, Nannan said that they had no way of knowing these things, but this method was still very simple.

But we can’t let them know the secret of this cement yet. It can be used to build houses and it is very sturdy.

At least we have to wait until all the roads in the country are repaired before we can make this formula public.

This is the honor of the royal family, we cannot let these people with bad intentions snatch it away!!

"Okay, if the Prime Minister wants it, go to the Ministry of Internal Affairs to make an appointment, and we will arrange it for you when the time comes."

Xia Xuan answered very quickly, which made Yu Zhongtian stunned. He agreed so easily?

This doesn't seem realistic. Isn't the emperor afraid that he will know these secrets?

But since I have agreed to it, it would be a pity if I don’t use it.

"Okay, thank you, Your Majesty."

The prime minister returned to his original seat. The ministers saw that the emperor did not show any dissatisfaction, so someone dared to step forward and speak.

"Your Majesty, can you let me make an appointment as well?"

The other ministers were all watching to see if the emperor would agree, and the next second Xia Xuan agreed directly.

He said with a very happy look on his face.

"Yes, you all can, but it's not free, you need to pay for the repairs."

The ministers were so overwhelmed with joy that they felt that this would definitely not require much money.

Even if they cannot learn these road construction techniques, they can still get a very clean road surface, so why not do it?

As soon as the ministers finished their morning court session, they went directly to the Ministry of Internal Affairs to make an appointment, but they were told that the price of building roads in the palace was calculated based on the area.

Some people need at least one hundred taels of silver, and their houses are small, but they have built many roads.

If someone's mansion is very large, they will collect even more money.

It would cost at least one thousand and two taels of silver.

The ministers were all shocked. What was this? Why was it so expensive?

Naturally, the official position in their family was also low, and the salary was not very high, so it was really difficult for them to come up with this one hundred taels.

For example, an official like the prime minister has a high position and a large family, and the amount of silver he asks for is more than six thousand taels.

When Yu Zhongtian heard them talking about the price, his face turned dark. How could building a road cost so much?

But with so many people here, it’s hard to say no. But if I think that there’s a good chance I’ll be able to learn this in the future, then the money won’t be wasted.

He gritted his teeth and decided to take a gamble!

They immediately paid a deposit of one thousand taels of silver, and would pay the rest gradually. Anyway, they would not lose money.

Seeing that Yu Zhongtian had already paid, some of them who really wanted to repair the roads in their own homes gritted their teeth and paid a few hundred taels, which made them feel distressed.

If it works, the money will be worth it.

They comforted themselves in this way in their hearts. After making the appointment, the people from the Ministry of Internal Affairs told them that they needed to build the road for them in order.

After hearing this, all the ministers left, and the Ministry of Internal Affairs told the emperor about this matter. When the emperor heard that they had paid so much silver one by one, he was very happy.

The silver in their own house is almost more than that of him, the emperor. If they really have no business doing anything, how could they have so much money?

I thought of what Xia Qingqing had said before, that if you want to make money, you have to make money from those ministers, they have a lot of money.

Now it seems that what he said was right. We should make more money from them in this way. In this way, when we need to build roads in the future, we can use their money.

I feel really refreshed.

Soon, these craftsmen went to the Prime Minister's residence first to start building the road. When Yu Zhongtian returned, he had already told everyone in the residence about it.

They also knew that the emperor's men would come to repair their mansion today, but when they arrived, the craftsmen said that they could not stand by and watch while they were repairing the road.

Such a request was reasonable, but some servants were just following Yu Zhongtian's orders to see how they did it.

If they weren't allowed to see it, how would they know how it was made? But the craftsmen just said that if they were still here, they wouldn't do it.

There was no other way, they could only retreat. Since they couldn't watch openly, they might as well peek secretly. This way they would definitely not be discovered.

So they started to secretly watch what they were doing. For several days in a row, they were still digging holes. They had been digging for several days.

The Prime Minister's wife could hear the noisy noises every day, and coupled with the potholes dug by them, she was about to collapse.

"Are you guys repairing the road? You are here to sabotage it!!"

The craftsmen were completely confused by the scolding. Why did they come here to cause trouble?

"We don't have any. This is normal road repair."

The Prime Minister's wife sneered, "Normal repair? Look at the road surface, what have you done to it? How can this be considered normal?"

The craftsmen were all confused, because this is how they usually do it. Even though it looks a little dirty now, it won’t be a problem once it’s done properly.

But in the eyes of the Prime Minister's wife, their silence meant that they were guilty.

"I was right, right? All right, stop it. Someone, throw them out!"

As soon as the Prime Minister's wife gave the order, a maid came forward and tried to drive them out.

Several craftsmen felt humiliated, even though they were asked to repair the road.

But now they are royal craftsmen, with the emperor behind them, so they have the temper to do this.

Moreover, before they came here, the emperor said that if they made him unhappy, they could just leave and it would be okay.

Anyway, their deposit is non-refundable, so they really made a net profit of more than one thousand taels.

"Since you are so unwelcoming to us, we don't want to do it for you, just leave."

They took all their belongings with them, and the dug-up ground was not filled in for them.

Looking at the bumpy landscape makes people feel unhappy.

The maid next to her said with some worry.

"Madam, after all, this person is invited by the master. I heard that he is from the palace. Will there be any problem if we do this?"

The Prime Minister's wife snorted coldly, "What does it matter? If the master saw such a scene, he would definitely drive them away."

After saying that, she staggered back. Although the girl was worried, she was the Madam after all. If the Madam said everything was fine, then it must be fine.

When Yu Zhongtian came back in the evening, he heard the servants say that his wife had driven away all the craftsmen.

He was immediately shocked, "Where are they now?"

"left already."

When the servants saw Yu Zhongtian so angry, they knew that something was wrong.

As expected, the Prime Minister smashed everything on the table and said angrily.

"Call my wife over here!"

The Prime Minister's wife was fiddling with her face and asked the maid next to her.

"Tell me, has my face gotten better?"

The maid next to her smiled and said, "Yes, Madam has become much younger recently."

The Prime Minister's wife was really happy to hear this, "You are such a sweet talker."

"Madam, the master is looking for you."

As soon as he finished speaking, there was a voice from a servant outside. The Prime Minister's wife also wanted to look for Yu Zhongtian. Isn't this a coincidence?

She happily stood up and walked over. As soon as she entered the door, a teacup came towards her. She quickly dodged, otherwise the teacup would hit her in the face.

The teacup was smashed behind the Prime Minister's wife. She was still frightened and looked up and shouted at Yu Zhongtian.

"What are you doing? You almost hit me, you know that!"

Yu Zhongtian got even angrier, "I'm going to smash you, why did you drive those craftsmen away!!"

When the Prime Minister's wife saw that he had called her here to ask about this matter, she was speechless.

"Is that what you're talking about? Yes, I was the one who drove them away. What's the matter? You don't know how noisy they were!!"

"Why don't you just bear with the noise? Why chase them away?!"

The Prime Minister's wife got angry when she thought about this. "And they made a mess in the mansion. You didn't see it. You can go outside and take a look now!!"

Yu Zhongtian didn't want to listen to her excuses. The roads inside the palace were neat and clean. Even if they were a little dirty when they were first done, they would definitely be clean again in the future.

This will just drive people out and nothing can be done.

"I spent a lot of money to hire this person, and you just kicked him out so casually."

Yu Zhongtian became angrier and angrier as he spoke, "Go and bring that person back to me tomorrow!!"

When the Prime Minister's wife heard this, she was immediately dissatisfied. As the Prime Minister's wife, she actually had to bow her head and ask a few road builders to come. What a joke!

“I’m not going!!”

Before she could finish her words, Yu Zhongtian slapped her in the face and said angrily.

"This is not asking for your consent, this is ordering you!!"

The Prime Minister’s wife looked at Yu Zhongtian in disbelief. She was actually beaten?

The burning sensation on her face told her that this was real, she was really beaten, and she became even more unwilling to accept it.

"I won't go, what can you do about it!!"

After saying that, she slammed the door and left. Yu Zhongtian pointed at her, "You!!"

But there was nothing she could do. Her father was the Grand Tutor, and even though he was the Prime Minister now, he couldn't but give face to the Grand Tutor.

It's because her father is the Imperial Tutor, otherwise, he would have divorced her long ago! !

The next day, the prime minister went to the palace's internal affairs department early in the morning and asked the craftsmen to continue working there.

But they were told that the craftsmen would not work in the Prime Minister's Office, and the craftsmen felt wronged yesterday.

The emperor also explained that if they humiliated the craftsmen, the craftsmen could choose whether to go or not. If the craftsmen did not want to go, they did not have to go.

This means that the Prime Minister's Mansion has now been abandoned by the craftsmen.

When he got this answer, Yu Zhongtian's face turned black. He looked gloomy all the way and locked himself in the study room as soon as he returned.

There was a crackling sound in the study room, and many servants avoided this place, fearing that they might lose their lives by accident.

After venting my anger in the study, I began to calm down. I sat at my desk, tapping on the surface, thinking about something.

"Somebody come!"

A servant came in from outside, "Master."

"Call the others and we can take action now."

Some people had already been placed in other ministers' houses earlier, all in unimportant positions, so no one could discover it.

Now is the time to take advantage of it and let them find out the secret of the concrete floor. Then we can set them free.

The temptation was too great for them, and people from various mansions began to take action and go to investigate.

But in the end, nothing was found out. We only knew that they were stirring something, but we didn't know what it was.

Yu Zhongtian didn't hear any useful information and immediately became angry.

"Useless, useless, they are all useless guys!!"

Yu Zhongtian couldn't help but get angry again. These people were so useless that they couldn't even find a prescription.

Even after the cement floors of the ministers' homes in the capital had been completed, he still hadn't found out anything.

It's just trash!!
