Chapter 322 I Missed Her
"Laojiu, you guys take a rest first, and then go carry the cement after you've regained enough energy. Remember, don't be too aggressive at the beginning, just carry a little less each time. After all, you just arrived here today, and after a few days, you will naturally become more proficient with practice. We brothers are very caring towards newcomers, so if you make money in the future, don't forget to treat everyone to drinks and meat!" The thin and dark man explained the task to the two with a smile on his face.
Lao Jiu nodded hurriedly and responded: "Don't worry, brother, we will be fine." After that, he and Liu Da beside him found a shady place to sit down and rest for a while.
Soon, the two stood up and walked towards the cement storage area. When they saw the heavy bags of cement, they couldn't help but gasp. They tried to carry a bag each, but found that they couldn't move at all.
In desperation, the two had to choose to lift a bag of cement together and move forward slowly. After running back and forth several times, their shoulders were rubbed red by the rough cement bag, and even several large and small blisters appeared. Every step they took, the piercing pain made them grimace.
At this time, Liu Da, the eunuch in the palace, was secretly complaining to Emperor Su Wen in his heart: "Oh, my emperor, you have nothing to do after eating! You don't want to stay in the palace, but have to run to the south of the city to experience the suffering of the people and the difficulty of life.
I am afraid that my old bones will be broken by your torment! Alas... But it is better to let you have a taste of this bitterness, so that you don't sit on the throne all day, suspicious and untrustworthy! "
If Emperor Suwen knew what Eunuch Liu was thinking, he would probably be furious. He was also feeling miserable but was just too embarrassed to complain!
After finally finishing the work, Emperor Suwen was full of doubts. For example, what exactly are lime and cement? He was going to ask Shouhei later, it turned out that those houses were made of these materials.
The two men were exhausted like dogs, and finally they got off work. Shouhei led his team to line up for lunch. Each person had two big steamed buns and a big bowl of lean meat porridge.
Perhaps because he had worked for half a day, Emperor Suwen was hungry and didn't care about anything. He picked up the steamed bun and gobbled it up voraciously. He even thought that the lean meat porridge was a delicacy. The sweat odor on his body did not affect his appetite.
After finally eating and drinking, everyone headed back to where they lived. Those workers with families left in groups of three or five, only to get up early the next day to come back to work.
Eunuch Liu lay like a dead dog on the so-called bed, which was a large bunk bed supported by several wooden boards. He was extremely tired today and had no strength to speak. He did not care about the life or death of Emperor Su Wen and soon fell asleep.
When Emperor Suwen saw that the thin and dark guys had all sat down, he finally asked the question in his mind.
"Brothers! Tell me, what on earth is cement? Why is it so heavy? And the lime, after being added to cement, is so sticky!
Are the houses we live in built with these things? And the bricks pushed by wooden carts, I have never seen them before!" Lao Jiu widened his eyes and asked his companions around him with a puzzled look on his face.
At this time, Shouhei, who was standing by, quickly took over the conversation and said, "Old Nine, you asked a great question! Cement, lime, and bricks were all invented by the princess! Whenever the princess had time, she would come to the construction site in person and bring a group of people to do all kinds of experiments. After a lot of hard work and exploration, she finally invented cement and lime!"
As he spoke, Shouhei's mouth became so dry that it was almost smoking. He then quickly walked to the yard, where there was a well that they had dug themselves.
He picked up the scoop and scooped up a large scoop of cool well water from the well mouth, then tilted his neck back and gulped it down. After drinking it, he wiped his mouth, hurried back to the room, and continued:
"As for the bricks, they actually existed before. However, the princess said that if we want to build tall buildings, it will not work just relying on the original adobe bricks! So, she led everyone to find a way to make adobe bricks.
Now, the bricks fired are all bright red, and they have all been treated with high temperatures to become extremely hard!"
Hearing this, Emperor Su Wen, who had been listening quietly, was shocked, but his face remained calm. He just asked with a little doubt: "Huh! How can a weak woman like her really have such ability? Thin and dark, you are not deliberately exaggerating, are you?"
"Old Nine, what do you mean? Are you questioning the princess? Go out and ask around. Everyone in the south of the city praises the princess. If it weren't for her, the south of the city would still be a slum." The thin and dark man said with a gloomy face, and his voice was raised a few decibels.
"That's right. If it weren't for the princess, many of us would have starved to death. The development of the south of the city has given many of us jobs and improved our family lives."
"Yes. Even though the dog emperor came to the south of the city twice, he only took advantage of the princess. He would just sit back and enjoy the fruits of others' labor. He may not know the hardships of the south of the city and what the lives of ordinary people are like."
Several people took turns bombarding him, and Emperor Suwen's face turned red, feeling extremely embarrassed. He didn't expect that he was actually a dog emperor, but at the moment he was the ninth, so he took a deep breath and hurriedly apologized.
"Don't be picky, guys. I just got here and don't understand. Please forgive me. After hearing what you said, I really don't understand the situation. Go to sleep. I have to work tomorrow!"
"Forget it, you just got here too, so have a good rest. Don't talk about the princess on the construction site anymore. If other people hear it, you might get beaten," said the thin black man to smooth things over.
The room soon became quiet, and the sound of people snoring could be heard.
Emperor Suwen touched his peeling shoulder. He couldn't stand the sour smell all over his body. Looking at the eunuch Liu who was sleeping like a pig next to him, he got up and went to the yard. He took a shower with cold water and felt much more comfortable.
"Oh! Yun Yuxi, how many abilities do you have that I don't know about? With your current achievements, you are worthy of being the mother of a country. I really missed you." Emperor Su Wen looked at the moon and murmured to himself.
After returning to the room, he was exhausted and soon fell asleep. The dragon guard who was protecting him in the dark looked at Emperor Su Wen and his mouth twitched.
