Chapter 311 Reasonable and legal

Seeing Xia Yuan and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince approaching, the crowd gathered around them were excited, but they were stunned and confused again when they saw the two standing there again.

What is this doing?

Are they planning to let this troublemaker go?

Xia Yuan and Zhu Houzhao were even more confused. There were so many people making trouble and there were so many reactionaries in the world. Why was the emperor the one making trouble?

The air was silent for a long time. Xia Yuan seemed to have come to his senses and shouted loudly: "What's causing trouble? This is my elders. There was a misunderstanding. Let's go back to work. Let's all go back. Let's break up. Let's break up!"

"

Hearing this, everyone, whether they believed it or not, did not stop any longer and dispersed in a panic.

Xia Yuan walked over with the bowl in hand and shouted at the men at the door: "Have you seen this master? This is my uncle. You dare to stop him. You are so brave!"

The few men guarding the door suddenly became at a loss when they heard this and said in a hurry: "Master, we are here, we are here"

"Get out of here and throw rocks at me. I'll deduct a day's wages from you! Get out of here! Get out of here! All the things that are an eyesore!"

After hearing this, several people hurriedly left as if they had been granted amnesty.

After everyone around him had almost dispersed, Xia Yuan asked: "Your Majesty, why are you here?"

"I can't come?"

"You can come if you can."

Emperor Hongzhi ignored him. Instead, he looked at Zhu Houzhao and asked with a stern face: "Prince, which piece of shit did you want to teach a lesson just now?"

"."

Hearing this, Zhu Houzhao's face suddenly became sad, and he walked over with a bowl in hand, "Father, I am wrong."

"snort"

Zhu Youtang snorted, not wanting to argue with him, and looked at the bowl in his hand, and then looked at the bowl in Xia Yuan's hand.

"You two are so busy that you don't even have time to eat. You still carry food with you wherever you go."

"It doesn't save time. It's convenient to eat while walking."

"Father, have you eaten? Do you want to try it?" Zhu Houzhao picked up the bowl with a flattering look on his face.

Emperor Hongzhi wanted to refuse, after all, he had just eaten, but looking at the meat in thick oily red sauce, with a different kind of appetite, he still picked up the spoon inserted in the rice with his hand, and then scooped out a piece of meat and put it on the table.

When I put it in my mouth, my eyes immediately lit up, "What kind of dish is this that is so delicious?"

“Braised beef.”

Hearing this, Zhu Youtang almost spat out the meat in his mouth, "How dare you kill cows and eat meat?"

Xia Yuan said sternly: "Your Majesty, I and His Highness the Crown Prince have their own reasons. This cow accidentally broke its leg while helping to pull a cart a few days ago. The veterinarian was not able to take care of it, and it can no longer work.

.

Seeing the cow meowing in pain, I and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince couldn't bear it, so they had no choice but to give it a happy life.

A meter or a millet is hard-earned and should not be wasted. It would be a pity to bury it. It is better to kill it and eat its meat. God has the virtue of good life. This cow will die in its proper place and make the best use of it. It will definitely give birth to a good fetus in the future."

"And we reported it to the Daxing County Government and paid the fine, which is in compliance with formal procedures and is reasonable and legal."

Zhu Houzhao nodded beside him, "Yes, yes, it complies with formal procedures, is reasonable and legal."

"."

Emperor Hongzhi was speechless for a while, and then he said dryly for a long time: "If that's the case, then that's it."

As he said this, he couldn't help but recall the beef just now. Like all previous dynasties, the Ming Dynasty also strictly prohibited the slaughter of farm cattle.

He was born into a noble family in Tianhuang. He had been the emperor for so long, but it was his first time to eat beef. However, he didn't expect that the beef was so delicious. It was so fragrant and rotten when stewed.

Xia Yuanduo was very discerning and said, "Your Majesty, there is still a lot of beef left, why don't I prepare some for you to take back? The cow has a spirit in heaven, and he will surely be extremely happy to know that his meat has entered your majesty's belly.

, I feel I am blessed.”

Emperor Hongzhi said righteously: "Am I one of those people who indulges in extravagant food and drink?"

After saying that, he paused and said, "But with so much beef, if we don't eat it all in a hurry, it may spoil over time, which would be a pity. I will take some back and let the queen have a taste."

Xia Yuan grinned and said, "Yes, I will arrange for someone to go there right now."

"Don't worry, I'm here just for the cement. Let me take a look at the cement first."

After several days of exploration and testing, Xia Yuan has found the correct proportion. The strength is somewhat inferior to that of later generations of cement, but in this era, it is enough to have such strength.

Forty-five furnaces were officially put into mass production just yesterday. The output is not very large, but some have been installed.

The sugar mill and shipyard have been covered with cement floors, which were just dry last night. They are flat and smooth, and you can feel the solidity under your feet when walking on them.

Emperor Hongzhi walked on the blue-gray ground, felt it with his feet, lowered his head and looked around, and finally squatted down and tapped it with his fingers, and found that it was indeed extremely hard.

At this moment, Zhu Houzhao ran over excitedly carrying a sledgehammer and said, "Father, get out of the way, be careful not to hurt you."

When Zhu Youtang saw the sledgehammer, his pupils shrank and he quickly stood up to avoid it. Then he saw Zhu Houzhao swung the sledgehammer and hit the ground hard.

There was a loud bang.

The entire ground was actually intact, leaving only an inconspicuous bump. Xia Yuan closed his eyes and looked like a pure prodigal, this was the ground that had just been laid.

Emperor Hongzhi wanted to have a fit and give the traitor a lesson, but when he saw the almost intact ground, he couldn't believe it.

The mud that came out was actually so hard.

Zhu Houzhao stood with a hammer in his hand and said, "Father, how are you doing? Is it very strong?"

"What kind of cement is this floor made of?"

Xia Yuan hummed and said, "They are all made of cement, with gravel and sand mixed in. It can also be called concrete."

Zhu Houzhao corrected him: "What cement? Concrete? This name doesn't sound good at all. I even said it's called General's Stone."

"Your Highness, listen to it for yourself, does this name sound good to you? It should be called cement, concrete, which is popular and easy to remember."

Emperor Hongzhi added from the side: "The names of cement and concrete are indeed inappropriate. They cannot show their hardness. In my opinion, the names should be changed."

Hearing this, Xia Yuan changed his words very seriously: "Your Majesty said, I have always wanted to change my name, but I just didn't think of a suitable one."

Emperor Hongzhi smiled and didn't know whether he believed it or not. He just said: "Then I will go over and help you get one."

"The ground is glowing with blue color and is as hard as gold and stone. How about calling it lapis lazuli?"

"What a name! It's called Lapis Lazuli. Your Majesty chose it very well. It sounds nice and appropriate."

Zhu Houzhao bared his teeth at him. This bitch has two faces. That's not what you told me.

Xia Yuan ignored him, you are the prince, can you compare with the emperor?

And the general stone you mentioned sounds really ugly, but this lapis lazuli stone sounds very valuable, like some kind of valuable gemstone.

He was startled when he thought of this. If he remembered correctly, lapis lazuli seemed to be the name of some kind of gemstone.

Whatever, lapis lazuli is good.
