After the prince was able to travel through time, he stopped rolling!

Chapter 58: Building a Brick Kiln at the Imperial Mausoleum

"Sir Wang, don't underestimate this brick. By then, its hardness will be equivalent to that of stone," the little prince said to Sir Wang who came from the Ministry of Works.

Lord Wang smiled and approved of the young prince's words. He knew that although the bricks in front of him looked insignificant, based on past experience, the prince's innovations often brought unexpected surprises.

Thinking of the Gongtong used when decorating the beauty salon, Lord Wang couldn't help but sigh. The design of the toilet was really ingenious, making people's lives more convenient. Now, Lord Wang and several other officials in the Ministry of Works have also replaced this toilet with a toilet, which is very convenient to use. They even plan to report to His Majesty and promote this toilet. However, before he could take action, the prince was sent to guard the imperial mausoleum as a punishment.

Unexpectedly, even in the imperial mausoleum, the prince was still restless and always tried his best to come up with new ideas. Lord Wang and others were considering whether to take this opportunity to help the prince make amends. After all, although the prince was young, he was smart and his wonderful ideas always made people's eyes light up.

At this time, Lord Li on the side said, "Lord Wang, do you think if we report this new style of toilet to His Majesty, can His Royal Highness the Crown Prince be pardoned?" Lord Li had met Xuanyuan Ruize many times and really liked this young and wise Crown Prince. He believed that with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's talent, if he could be guided correctly, he would definitely become a wise ruler in the future.

"It's hard to say, how about we give it a try?"

In fact, the people in the Ministry of Works are relatively simple. They like to do these handicrafts and are particularly receptive to strange things. They basically do not take sides because they can't do anything. Therefore, when there was a fight for the throne in every dynasty, the princes would ignore the people in the Ministry of Works, so they were able to survive every time.

Several officials from the Ministry of Works were having a heated discussion when suddenly, the Crown Prince's men came again.

"My Lords from the Ministry of Works, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince wishes to build something in the Imperial Mausoleum. We need to invite several skilled craftsmen. We require those who have both physical and mental strength to assist in the work."

Xiao Dezi came to the Ministry of Works and conveyed Xuanyuan Ruize's intention.

When several officials from the Ministry of Works heard the news, their original intention of reporting the Gongtong issue to the emperor was immediately thrown out of their minds. Their minds were filled with thoughts about what new plans the Crown Prince had.

"Master Li, let Wang go this time!"

Lord Wang volunteered.

When Lord Li heard Lord Wang's words, he immediately became anxious.

"No, no, Lord Wang. I heard that you haven't been in good health lately and you're a little overwhelmed! His Royal Highness the Crown Prince needs a young craftsman with plenty of stamina and energy. Let me go this time."

Lord Li responded quickly.

Several people from the Ministry of Works nearby also wanted to see what new things the prince wanted to make, so they began to argue about which master was taking his apprentice to the imperial mausoleum.

After arguing for a long time, Lord Wang, relying on his seniority and Lord Li, being shameless, finally led their disciples to the imperial mausoleum.

Xiao Dezi looked at the huge group of people following behind him and couldn't help feeling guilty. As he walked, he couldn't help but think: If His Majesty knew that he was an accomplice, would he chop off his head in anger? This thought made him nervous all day long, worrying about his own safety all the time.

Along the way, Xiao Dezi kept thinking about how to deal with the possible consequences. He prayed secretly, hoping that this matter could be resolved smoothly and would not cause him too much trouble. However, facing the unknown future, he could not eliminate his inner worries.

Finally, they arrived in front of the imperial mausoleum. Xiao Dezi took a deep breath and tried to calm his nervous mood. At this moment, he could only hope that everything would go well and that he could survive this storm safely.

At this moment, Xuanyuan Ruize was stunned at the scene in front of him. He saw a large group of people following Xiao Dezi, walking towards this side in a mighty manner.

"Xiao Dezi, did I say we needed so many people?" the little prince asked suspiciously, secretly wondering if he had expressed himself incorrectly.

"Your Highness, I did convey your instructions, but all the adults wanted to come. Finally, after a fierce debate and fight, it was decided that Master Li and Master Wang would lead their apprentices to come."

Xiao Dezi answered truthfully.

Xuanyuan Ruize couldn't help but mutter in his heart

[There are too many apprentices! Almost half of the Ministry of Industry has been brought here.]

However, what he didn't know was that many of these so-called "disciples" were not really disciples. Some of them might have just received a word or two of advice from the two adults, and took the opportunity to call themselves disciples. The two adults knew this very well and chose to acquiesce.

Xuanyuan Ruize shook his head helplessly. Since everyone was already here, it would be inconvenient for him to rush back.

"Dear members of the Ministry of Industry, this time I want to make something that looks like stone and call it brick." Xuanyuan Ruize first explained to everyone the purpose of calling them here

"Your Highness, what is the use of this brick? From what you said, bricks are similar to stones. Why not just use stones?"

"Lord Wang, let me tell you the benefits of this brick." Xuanyuan Ruize's eyes flashed with excitement and confidence.

"Look, Lord Wang. With these bricks, we can get rid of the heavy stones. Although stones can also be used for construction, they are difficult to mine, inconvenient to transport, and have irregular shapes, making them difficult to construct. Bricks are completely different. Bricks can be used to build houses. They have uniform specifications and are easy for craftsmen to operate. Houses built with bricks have flat and solid walls that can better withstand the invasion of wind and rain. Whether it is a summer rainstorm or a winter wind, it is difficult to shake this solid barrier made of bricks. Moreover, the color of bricks is simple, which can give people a sense of calmness and grandeur, making people who live in them feel more at ease."

The young prince paused for a moment and continued, "Furthermore, bricks can be used to pave the ground. Imagine the scene, neatly arranged bricks on the ground, forming a flat and beautiful road. People walking on it will no longer be troubled by the rugged ground, whether it is a carriage or a pedestrian, they can travel unimpeded. On rainy days, the brick ground will not become difficult to pass like a muddy dirt road, but will drain water quickly and keep the road dry. This not only facilitates the lives of the people, but also improves the appearance of the entire city. With bricks, our city will be cleaner and more orderly, and will be rejuvenated with new vitality and vigor. Lord Wang, you should understand the significance of these bricks. We should vigorously produce them and then promote their use to benefit the people and build glory for our Xuanyuan Dynasty."

Several senior officials from the Ministry of Industry listened in trance.

"Your Highness, what are the raw materials of these bricks?" Lord Wang really asked the key question.

"It's just mud," the little prince told everyone directly

"What? Can mud get that hard?"

"Of course, this is why I asked you to come here, to build a brick kiln."

Now the people in the Ministry of Industry have already seen the image of bricks being fired, and their names may really be recorded in history. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is sending them great achievements!

Xuanyuan Ruize glanced at the excited people in the Ministry of Industry

"Let's get started." He turned and pointed to an empty lot where some construction materials were piled up.

Lord Wang and Lord Li looked at each other and quickly directed everyone to move forward.

Xuanyuan Ruize was observing from the side, offering suggestions from time to time.

A few days later, a uniquely shaped building appeared in the imperial tomb.

Not only does it look exquisite, but it also has a whole new world inside.

Everyone in the Works Department felt a sense of accomplishment as they looked at the works they had created with their own hands.
