"This is cement?"

Seeing Li Jiao take out half a bag of gray-brown powder and pour it on the ground, Li Heng, who couldn't help but be curious, reached out and wanted to touch it.

"Aye, don't move, I heard that this thing is very alkaline and hurts your hands!"

While speaking, Li Li did not forget to let people carry water and sand, and at the same time went to find a hoe and shovel himself.

"King Ping, where can I let you do this kind of heavy work!"

Seeing that Li Jiao was rolling up his sleeves and pulling up his trouser legs, the servants were startled, saying that they should let him rest quickly and explain to himself and others what to do.

It's just such a little cement, I haven't played it myself, and I actually let you play?

Do you really think you have such a big face?

Li Jiao was angry and asked a group of people to get out of the house quickly, and while asking people to add water and sand, he didn't forget to say to Li Hengxian: "I heard that when this cement is mixed, the ratio of water and sand and gravel is also particular, too much and too little will not work, otherwise the strength of the concrete after solidification is not enough......"

Something mixed with cement and sand is called concrete, which Li Heng can figure out, but this strength, what the hell?

Is it the hardness after drying?

"Not only the hardness, but also the ability to resist pressure under pressure, tear resistance during vibration and the ability to resist leakage, collectively referred to as strength!" Li Jiao said a little proudly.

"This prince is familiar with the Four Books and Five Classics, and he has never heard of so many powers!"

Although he vaguely felt a little reasonable, a series of unheard of things also made Li Heng feel like an idiot, and he said a little stupidly at the moment: "Such a flashy and bells and whistles, I believe it is Wei Ming who said it?" ”

"It should be him!"

Li Jiao, who was holding back a smile, finally mixed the concrete, and then asked people to bring wooden barrels, basins and other utensils, and then loaded the concrete into it.

Several of them, he even deliberately wrote on them.

After the meal, the original muddy concrete has already solidified......

By the time I get up early overnight, all the concrete is as hard as stone, and the knife will not crack, and the hammer will not break!

Thinking that cement is easy to handle, easy to shape, and so hard after solidification, and thinking that this thing can be used in the future whenever the city and river embankments are built, it can greatly reduce the conscription and consumption......

"Such treasures are offered to the imperial court, and it is necessary for me to benefit the Tang Dynasty!"

Li Jiao stopped: "However, it is definitely not now!" ”

"Why?"

Li Heng was stunned and asked.

"The emperor is becoming more and more extravagant now, and I believe Aya doesn't dare to deny it!"

After waving his hand to repulse, Li Jiao said in a low voice: "If you offer this thing now, I am afraid that it will be inevitable that the emperor will use it as a laborious move such as Daxing the palace, and the people will not know what year and month they will have at dawn, so as to profit from it......"

First, the dam will be built, and more than 100,000 acres of mountainous land in the lower reaches of the Qingjiang River will be turned into fertile land......

The good deeds that hundreds of thousands of people have benefited will definitely make his reputation soar not only among the people, but also in the court!

Thinking of this, although Li Heng was extremely excited, he couldn't help frowning and said, "These are all what Wei Ming taught you to say?" Want to exchange this with my Prince's Mansion? ”

"This son offered this thing, just let Zeng Shaojiang and others tell him, saying that cement is a treasure for the benefit of the country and the people, and I hope to make good use of it!"

Li Jiao shook his head and said, "These things before were just children's personal opinions!" ”

"It's a guy who knows how to advance and retreat!"

Li Heng raised his eyebrows when he heard this, and at the same time sighed: "Although what you said is extremely reasonable, but when it comes to implementation, I am afraid it will be as difficult as ascending to the sky - do you know that the area around Fengpan Valley is a fiefdom?" ”

Li Jiao nodded, indicating that he naturally knew that the area was the fief of the imperial official Yang Guozhong's family.

"Now the Prime Minister's Mansion is no longer a concern, and his father will definitely be a thorn in the side of the Yang Imperial Official, a thorn in the flesh!"

Li Heng sighed lightly: "It's for my father not to provoke him, I'm afraid that he will have to find fault everywhere, and I want him to cooperate with his father to make contributions, I'm afraid that he will be sad to ascend to the sky - turn around and tell this son, it's not that a certain family doesn't know his painstaking heart for the peasants and the country, it's really impossible to do anything, let him find a good place again!" ”

"Hey......"

Zeng Fanzhi, Wu Dong, and Xu Jin, who had been excited all night, but had to reply like this, sighed, looked at Wei Ming and said, "Your Highness today, it's really too embarrassing, don't take it to heart!" ”

"How dare you!"

Wei Ming shook his head and smiled at the same time: "However, in the eyes of the lower officials, this matter may not be as His Highness said, and there is no room for return!" ”

Zeng Fanzhi, Wu Dong and others laughed.

In their opinion, it is enough to show that although Wei Ming has extraordinary abilities and often has strange ideas, he is too inexperienced when he first steps into officialdom after all.

The so-called once a son of heaven and a courtier.

How much Yang Guozhong is favored by the saints now, how much His Royal Highness is snubbed by the saints today!

Whenever His Royal Highness ascends the throne, the first wave to be cleaned up must be such as Yang Guozhong and others!

Yang Guozhong, who knows this well, is afraid that no matter what, he will not do such a thing to achieve the prince's fame in vain!

"If it's cement, everyone knows about it, of course it's true - but the crux of the matter is that only we know about cement nowadays!"

Wei Ming smiled and said: "If the young craftsman plays, it means that we will choose the kiln site of the official kiln, which is at the Fengpan Valley, I believe that Imperial Officials Yang will definitely feel offended, so he flatly refuses-at this time, as long as His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is willing to make a small sacrifice......

When Zeng Fanzhi heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up!

"A mere craftsman is a young craftsman, and he actually dares to hit my Yang family's fiefdom?"

As Wei Ming expected, as soon as he heard Zeng Fanzhi's decision to select the official kiln site in Fengpan Valley, Yang Guozhong couldn't help but narrow his eyes, and snorted coldly: "It is an honor for a certain family to dedicate a fief to open an official kiln and make porcelain for a saint - but the problem is that although the land near Fengpan Valley is barren, there are still nearly 1,000 families who cultivate here to make a living......

Speaking of this, Yang Guozhong stared at Zeng Fanzhi with a fierce voice and said: "Zeng Shaojiang is so scheming, I don't know if he wants a certain family to bear the notoriety of expelling the Li people, or does he want the people to think that the saint is doing his own good, regardless of his life and death?" ”

Although Zeng Fanzhi didn't even dare to express himself, Li Longji's face had already darkened because of this!

"Imperial Commander Yang is angry!"

Li Heng got up and said to Li Longji: "Erchen believes that the craftsman's move should be purely for the official kiln, and it must not have other thoughts!" ”

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"

Yang Guozhong said with pity: "This kind of thing, it's not that you say no, you don't have it, you have to say it to those expelled people!" ”

"What the royal official said is extremely true, but it is a certain family's nonsense!"

Li Heng nodded indifferently, and then said to Li Longji: "It's just that the construction of the official kiln and the firing of imperial porcelain are related to my Tang Dynasty weather, and it really can't be delayed - the son has something to ask for, I hope my father will approve it!" ”

"Speak!"

Li Longji said.

"Erchen implores his father to allow Erchen to exchange the fiefdom of the food in the area of the river and the imperial officials of Yang for the fief in the Fengpan Valley!" Lee Hyung-do.

Hearing this, everyone was shocked, and said in their hearts, His Royal Highness the Prince, is this crazy?

After all, everyone knows the fiefdoms in the area of the rivers, and they are all the best acres of land in the Tang Dynasty!

The generation of Fengpan Valley is mostly barren mountains and mountains, even if there is land, it is barren mountainous land, and the daily production is afraid that it is less than one-fifth of the acres of rivers and rivers!

And now, Li Heng actually proposed to use the river fiefdom in exchange for Yang Guozhong's mountainous land in Fengpan Valley - if this is not crazy, then what else can it be?
