Shrewd Wife Of Lin Brothers

The Emperor nodded with satisfaction and then said, " We will leave this matter to you, Crown Prince. Test these two formulas and if they are correct then we will hand Madam Lin the authority to hand death penalties, that way no one would dare to go against her along with protection to her family."

Fei Yu Ching bowed his head and then replied in a respectful voice, " I understand, Imperial Father. I will make arrangements for the experiment."

With the formulas in his hands, Fei Yu Ching did not dare to act rashly. He deliberately chose the most inconspicuous spot in the Imperial City which was why used as a trash site years ago. He would go to the testing spot every day without missing a single day, he did not dare to ignore the progress of the matter.

The Empress wanted to leave with her son and see what was going on, she wanted to see whether the formulas handed by Madam Su were correct or not but she knew that if she made a move then everyone in the palace would know that something was happening, thus she could only stay at the palace and act as if nothing was wrong.

The trash site.

Fei Yu Ching had been staying at this place under the pretext that he was looking for a suitable way to deal with the problem of the lack of money at the treasury. Thus, no one paid attention to him thinking that he had left the imperial city, Fei Yu Ching therefore met with no problem while staying at the trash site.

" Your Highness, his majesty, the Emperor and the Grand Dowager Empress are here to meet you," Chi Wu strode inside the tent that belonged to Fei Yu Ching, he was the aide of the third prince and was thus trusted by Fei Yu Ching a lot.

When Fei Yu Ching heard that his father and grandmother arrived at the testing site, he was simply speechless, didn't they agree that he would be overseeing the progress of this matter? Why was his father and grandmother joining in the fun?

Fei Yu Ching hurriedly rushed out of the tent and then met with the Emperor and the Grand Dowager Empress who were dressed in inconspicuous clothes which looked like ones that belonged to commoners.

" Im—- Father what are you doing here?" Fei Yu Ching asked as he turned to look at his grandmother. " And you too grandmother, is staying at the imperial palace not good enough?"

" Oh hush, what is the fun in playing with mahjong with your mother? She always loses," The Grand Dowager Empress spoke as she looked around with her sharp eyes. " Where is the object of the experiment? I want to see whether that little girl was right or not."

Fei Yu Ching sighed as he turned to look at the soldiers and ordered, " Remove the obstructions and bring his majesty and her majesty to the experiment site."

" Yes, Your Highness."

The soldiers saluted before they removed the dirty empty trunks and many other things that were placed at the end of the path.

The Emperor and the Grand Dowager Empress walked over to the black surface. The first to step on it was the Grand Dowager Empress, she placed her foot on the smooth surface and was really surprised, " This path is really smooth!"

Even the Emperor was impressed, he nodded and then turned to look at Fei Yu Ching before asking, " What are the expenses? Just how many men and money did it take?"

Fei Yu Ching smiled upon hearing the Emperor's words and then replied, " This did not even take two taels, Father. And only a few men were required—— which included a mason who was in charge of mixing the elements and the others were responsible for laying the road.

It only took us two days to lay down this road and it was more than 85% cheaper than the blue and white stones that we use at the imperial palace."

" Most importantly, it's indeed water and wind-resistant. It does not get muddy and slippery like the blue stones, which means that the chances of accidents are really low. I think that it can really be used at the imperial city."

The Imperial palace already had paths made of blue stones and thus they did not need this road inside the palace for the time being.

The Emperor nodded as he walked up the path and the three of them reached the brick house which was made by the mason and a few other workers.

" What about this house? How did it fend at night?"

Fei Yu Ching looked at the house and then asked his father and grandmother to the inside house. " This house is better than the wooden house, it does not require a brazier … as long one has quilts they will be able to survive the winter. Of course, the brazier will help as it will warm the walls and then keep the room warmer for a long time.

But even without it, the commoners will not have to worry about being frozen to death."

"What's more this house is sturdy and erosion resistant, once the commoners build this kind of house, they wouldn't have to worry about anything anymore."

In the past they used mud and sticky rice to put the city wall and the fences together, with these two things it was impossible for the stones to stay still, every rain the city wall and houses of many commoners would be ruined, which was why they had to repair them again and again.

What was more it was winter now, the grains were scarce now. How could they use sticky rice to fix the city walls and roofs of the commoners? They all were saving the grains to survive the winter.

Fei Yu Ching was sure that as long as the concrete was introduced in the market, it would definitely help a lot of commoners which could be considered a rather good thing.

He paused and then added, " And this could be used to rebuild the dams, this way the floods will decrease, Father."
