Liu Wange and Li Quan sang together, introduced the situation of the election of the chief official at that time, and focused on Xu Wen's works at that time.
Before participating in the election, they were quite confident, thinking that this was a fierce contest, but when the finished product came out, Xu Wen was almost crushed, and the only thing that could barely be compared with him was Zhu Gantang's spirit of taking the world as his palace.
However, Zhu Gantang's plan is too long ago and it is very difficult to realize, and Xu Wen has a city and a palace, which can solve a major problem in the Western Desert with benevolence in mind, and can also be used as a template to be implemented throughout the country, effectively solving many problems, and being more practical.
Coupled with the transformative invention of cement, Liu Wange and Li Quan can be said to have lost convincingly, in fact, they also directly admitted defeat on the spot and withdrew from the election.
Liu Wange is a master, and his eloquence is very good, and he is very clear.
At this time, Mingshan manipulated the mechanism and put the wooden box firmly on the ground, but no one turned their heads to take a second look. Everyone was captivated by their words.
Mingshan didn't urge, he was also the party, but when he listened to it again, he could still recall the layers of surprises at that time.
In addition to what they were talking about now, he could pick up a lot of missing highlights. Comprehensive management of new pottery kilns, sewerage projects, water intake, ventilation and lighting......
It is true that this "test question" was notified at short notice, but the "answer" to Xu Q must have gone through a long period of preparation and thinking.
Why did he put so much thought into it?
Thinking of the good intentions hidden underneath, Mingshan couldn't help but sigh at the young man's compassion and pity for the world.
The only thing he was worried about was that with such a big shelf in planning, could Xu Wen really be able to complete it?
He couldn't help but turn his head to look at Xu Wen.
Xu Wen didn't hear people preach his great achievements, he seemed to be thinking about something just now, but now he had already thought clearly, called the Ni Tianyang he brought, and talked to him.
Ni Tianyang nodded again and again, bent down, and took something out of his bag.
Xu Wen looked back at the crowd in front of him, took a deep breath, and stepped forward.
At this time, Liu Wange had just finished talking about cement and its efficacy, and there was a buzzing voice in the crowd, some people were more reserved, and some people asked bluntly: "Does this new type of Sanhe soil really exist?"
"It's now called cement. It does, and I've seen it work with my own eyes, and it's unmistakable. Li Quan said with certainty.
What is Li Quan's identity? Almost everyone present knows him, and with his endorsement, there is certainly no problem.
"If it's really so easy to use, it's amazing!" The crowd was a mess, and what they said before was indeed remarkable, but in terms of ideas, it was difficult to unify everyone's ideas.
But this new triple soil, called cement, is a real hard currency.
What kind of old Sanhe soil, where are the benefits, where are the disadvantages, not plasterers are also very clear.
This is almost common sense among craftsmen.
The stickiness and durability of traditional triad soil are useful at some times, such as when building forts and walls, but most of the time it is in excess.
On the contrary, the biggest advantage of cement, the convenience of use and transportation, is the main demand in large-scale use.
If this cement can really be like what they say, then its advantages are too great, and it is not an exaggeration to say that the entire construction industry will change dramatically.
"I've brought samples with me, so you can take a look. Ni Tianyang suddenly spoke.
Everyone looked at him together, and saw that he was holding an oiled paper bag in his hand, and opened it in public, and it was gray powder, just like what the two masters Liu and Li had said before.
This is cement?
Countless eyes gathered.
Ni Tianyang glanced left and right, although this Liuzhen Garden was built on a high mountain, it had been repaired for hundreds of years, and it was repaired very exquisitely everywhere.
Under the wall, there are aquatic plants and swimming fish in the tank, and they do not wither in winter. There are vines on the stone wall, although most of them are withered, but they are also interesting, and you can think of the spring and summer seasons, when it is lush and green, it will definitely be another kind of beauty.
The surroundings were too harmonious, and Ni Tianyang looked around and couldn't find a suitable place to mix cement.
At this time, Mingshan stepped forward and took the initiative to lead them to a place, which was a very spacious cave on the side, although it was a cave, it was obviously specially designed, and the light was not dark, which was very suitable for all kinds of work.
There was a warmth in the door, and there were several furnaces in the inner place, and someone was tinkling iron.
Like some of the places Xu Wen saw before, no matter how much Liuyu Garden looks like a wonder, the Ming family is also a craftsman in the final analysis, and the layout and furnishings inside have the most important function, which is mainly to facilitate work.
There is a concave open space in this cave, surrounded by a circular upward spiral, with shallow steps for people to sit down.
Mingshan asked Ni Tianyang and Xu Wen to show in the center of the open space, and invited others to sit on the steps, just in time to watch.
"It's a nice place. Liu Wange looked left and right, and said with great interest, "I'll build one when I go back, and it's easy to use for my disciples." ”
Xu Wen and Ni Tianyang stood in the middle of the open space and began to show the use and function of cement, and Liu Wange immediately shut up. Although he had seen it once, this time he still watched it very seriously.
There is not much to say about the presentation process, add sand, mix water and mud, and you can use different proportions according to different needs.
Ni Tianyang explained while demonstrating, and behaved very professionally.
He directly used cement to lay bricks, although it will take a while for the cement to solidify, but everyone still sees the convenience of this plug and play.
"Is that okay?" several people used in unison.
"Yes. Ni Tianyang said with certainty.
Xu Wen cooperated tacitly and sent the remaining things in the oil paper bag to everyone, and the masters did not hesitate, they immediately got started, and each of them grabbed a handful.
Everyone knows about lime burners, but they don't care about that anymore.
"The ash is fine. ”
"It's so convenient to use. ”
"It's also very easy to transport, and the wagon can be loaded and used. ”
"We'll have to see how it works. ”
"Is it a hassle to burn this kind of good thing, how much time does it take?"
I was just sighing at the front, and finally someone asked tentatively.
This is another big advantage of cement, Ni Tianyang was a little proud, glanced at Xu Wen, and saw that he had no objection, so he stretched out his hand and gestured four fingers.
"Four days? That's almost half the time it used to be, but it's fast. "Someone is already satisfied.
"No, it's four hours. Ni Tianyang didn't sell Guan Zi anymore, and quickly said the answer, smiling very heartily.
There was a gasp of cold air all around. The shortening of production time represents a great increase in production and a reduction in costs, and this cement is even more powerful than they imagined!
"Where can I buy it, how can I sell it, and tell me a price?"
"I can provide this cement formula directly to everyone. Gratis. At this time, Xu Wen spoke.
It was generous, but no one laughed.
"What do you want?" asked one bluntly.
"Speaking of which...... Did you also propose the full division of the official square in the first place?"
Xu Wen looked at the past, it was Chu Qiushi.
He furrowed his brows and his expression was very serious.
There were several other people around him, and they were sitting in the back, their hands clasped together and their bodies leaning back, which was a very obvious gesture of refusal.
"It's me. Xu Wen admitted calmly.
