Chapter 204: This Trick Comes Again (The Fifth Watch is Coming)

Before I do that, I'm going to take you to see something. ”

Wang Fugui did not continue to talk about the procurement as everyone expected, but took the lead to take everyone to the courtyard.

Hmph, I'll let you know whom?

Although Ashina was unhappy in his heart, he still followed everyone's steps to the courtyard.

"Do you see the difference between these stone slabs?"

Wang Fugui pointed to several stone slabs and pillars of different sizes poured with concrete in the courtyard, and asked.

"This stone, it seems that I have never seen it, it is not granite, nor marble, I have never seen it."

A merchant circled the slate and stooped down and tapped it with his hand, but did not recognize it.

"Shopkeeper Wang, could it be that this kind of stone is needed for the construction of the new palace? Didn't all the palaces in the past use granite? ”

Ashina secretly felt that today's situation seemed to be a little different from what he expected, and asked with a frown.

"That's right, the path in my yard is made of granite, but it's this concrete that I'm going to talk to you about today."

Wang Fugui said as he motioned to a few house slaves next to him and began to show everyone how the concrete came from.

Sand is the most common river sand, and everyone can see it at a glance.

The gravel is partly pebbles, partly coarse, and partly coarse, all of which are common things.

The only thing that puzzled everyone was that the servants poured a pile of sand and gravel together, and poured a bucket of ash-like things into it, a little like wood ash, but a little less like it.

Then someone continued to add water and stir it.

It was just a cup of tea, and the servants of the Wang family began to use shovels to load the stirred things into the wooden shelves beside them.

"This slate in front of everyone's eyes is how it came about, about half an hour later, this pile of things in front of you will become a hard slate, and our prince calls this slate concrete."

"Concrete? Just this ordinary sand and gravel mixed together, can it become a hard slate? ”

"Could it be that the new palace will use a lot of concrete?"

"According to you, don't you need the original granite strip stone?"

"Shopkeeper Wang, I see that this pillar seems to be made of concrete, could it be that even the giant wooden pillar in the construction of the new palace is made of concrete?"

"It's no wonder that I see horse-drawn carts transporting gravel and sand into the construction site of Shingu, but I have never seen a carriage transporting boulders and giant trees."

"I just saw that the production of this concrete is very simple, except for the gray thing, I don't know anything else, there is nothing special, dare to ask the king shopkeeper what is the gray thing?"

After Wang Fugui's words were finished, the current businessmen kept buzzing and raising all kinds of questions.

"Everyone, be quiet, and listen to what I have to say."

Wang Fugui was very satisfied with everyone's feedback.

However, Guo Yang and Deng Feng on the side turned pale.

The pillars of the palace can be made of concrete instead of giant wood?

So what if you hoard so many giant trees?

Sell to whom?

Ashina's reaction was no better than Guo Yang's.

The construction of the new palace does not require the use of granite strips?

How so?

This doesn't make sense.

It's over, I'm going to be done!

Is he fighting with the Chu Wangfu in this life?

At the beginning, he just led people to smash a treasure pavilion, and he fell into bad luck.

I finally lived a good life in the past two years, and the results ......

What should I do?

"The Governor's Office will purchase a large amount of gravel, sand, cement, barrels and other materials from Chang'an, as long as everyone transports these things to the front of the Xingong construction site, we will buy as many as we want, and the price will be preferential."

Although the various workshops in the Chu Wangfu are constantly expanding their production, they are mainly producing high-tech things such as glass.

Like gravel and sand, Li Kuan hopes to buy them from the market.

Wang Fugui had already bought a lot of them before, and the palace itself was also preparing.

However, recently, Yan Wenwen felt that according to this progress, the entire city wall of the new palace could be built first, and some key internal roads could also be poured out first, so that when the time came to put it into use, it would not look dilapidated in some places.

When Li Kuan heard it, he felt that it made sense.

So, Wang Fugui got busy.

"Shopkeeper Wang, that gray thing just now, could it be the cement you said?"

There are shrewd businessmen who are keenly aware that the key to concrete is cement.

Whether it is gravel or sand, this kind of thing that does not have a big threshold will not be very profitable, but the competition is very fierce.

On the contrary, it is cement, I have never heard of it before, I don't know what Wang Fugui's plans are today, I always feel that there seems to be some opportunity in it.

"Good question! The key to this concrete lies in two points, the core of which is the cement, that is, the gray powder that has just been poured into it; As for the second point, it is nothing more than the ratio of sand, gravel, cement and water, which is easy to understand. ”

Whether it is sand or gravel, as long as he needs it, Wang Fugui can find someone to buy it from the market at any time.

Cement is what Wang Fugui wants to focus on today.

"This cement, it looks magical, but it's not very difficult to make. But it is not difficult for any workshop that has fired ceramics to fire cement. And the usefulness of this cement we have also seen, whether it is to build buildings or pave roads in the future, it is a very good material, and after the completion of the new palace, we can see its power, today we call everyone to come, the focus is on cement. ”

"Steward Wang, could it be that the Governor's Mansion of the City is ready to purchase cement from us? But we've only seen cement for the first time today, so we don't know how to make it. ”

"Yes, we just want to provide cement for the construction of the new palace, but we don't know how to make it."

The businessmen present had very vicious eyes.

Naturally, it can be seen that the money of cement is unlimited.

If your own workshop can produce cement, then it's not a dream to make money every day, right?

"Everyone, be quiet!" Wang Fugui pressed his hand, "You don't know how to make this cement yet, I naturally know this." I called everyone over today, and I want to talk about how to let everyone learn how to make cement. ”

"Huh? Is the shopkeeper willing to teach us the process of making cement? ”

"At what cost?"

"yes, how much money do we need to pay?"

Except for Ashina, Guo Yang, and Deng Feng, who were lost and depressed, the other businessmen all stared at Wang Fugui with bright eyes.

"You must have heard of the changes in the paper and printing workshops in Chang'an City in the past two years, right? We will teach the process of cement in the same way as they do. As long as everyone agrees to sell cement and pay half of the fee, they can send their men to the cement workshop of the Chu Wangfu as apprentices starting tomorrow. ”

Wang Fugui showed a smile on his face that met social expectations.

One trick is fresh, eat all over the sky!
