Chapter 18 How Many Roads Should I Build?

As half of the founding emperor, Li Shimin actually doesn't have much of a shelf.

Although he still has to maintain the dignity of the emperor when necessary, most of the time, Li Shimin is unwilling to get too much apart from his old courtiers...... This point, from the early years of Wei Chi Jingde and the current Wei Zheng, eldest grandson Wuji and Fang Xuanling, in fact, Li Yuanjia saw it very clearly.

So after the banquet began, Li Yuanjia watched Li Shimin walk around the hall, and the wine glass in his hand was also dried and added, added and dried!

Of course, it's the sake of this era.

Even if it's the top sake in the Imperial Palace, the degree is at most about the same as the later beer, and if you drink better, you can really drink it as water......

So after coming to this era, Li Yuanjia has become accustomed to automatically filtering the so-called "massive".

Tsk, this is also called being able to drink?

It is undeniable that Li Yuanjia has indeed seen bigwigs who drink like water, such as Lu Guogong Cheng Zhijie, but ...... How so? As long as he thinks of the later generations who carry bulk liquor to eat early in the morning, or the barbecue stall table full of beer bottles, he automatically classifies this amount of alcohol as "average".

This is like comparing Zu Chongzhi with future ordinary mathematics undergraduates, which is not boring.

So while gargling with the "fine wine", Li Yuanjia thought with a bad taste: "If only the distilled liquor of our Han Wangfu can be supplied openly, and finally become popular...... Hehe, especially high-grade wine, it is estimated that you can drink a pound of it, which is considered a large amount! How many of these guys can pretend to be forced in the wine field? ”

Thinking about it, Li Yuanjia couldn't help but be happy.

The Chinese liquor has a long history, but it was only after he actually "created" distilled spirits that he realized that it was not easy for this thing to become popular. On the one hand, it is too food-consuming, and it is impossible for the current Datang to allow him to brew on a large scale; On the other hand, the degree is too high, which is not suitable for the "high rollers" in the wine to pretend to be forced, and the market is really small and pitiful.

So after a while, Li Yuanjia's thoughts returned to an old question: "If that's the case, even if Li Taibai can still appear in the future, I'm afraid that there will be no good stories about a hundred wine fighting poems, right?" Wouldn't I be a sinner in the history of Chinese culture......"

"Uncle Huang...... Uncle Huang? ”

"Huh?"

Thinking about it, he was immersed in a very subtle thought, and Li Yuanjia was suddenly awakened by a voice. Quickly looked up, it turned out to be his nephew Li Ke, who was saluting himself with a glass of wine at this time.

"Uncle Huang, nephew toasts you!"

"Uh...... Haha, okay. ”

Li Yuanjia didn't know when this kid came, but since the other party saluted respectfully, he had no reason to refuse, so he naturally picked up the wine glass on the table.

After drinking it just now, the maid next to him had already filled it for him.

The uncle and nephew touched a glass, Li Ke naturally drank it all, and Li Yuanjia hesitated for a moment, and then drank the wine in the cup. Anyway, the degree is not high, even if he drinks an average amount, it is not a big problem to have ten or twenty cups of this kind of cup.

However, after drinking, Li Ke did not leave immediately, but suddenly said with a smile: "Uncle Huang, I have asked people to try the cement formula you gave, it is indeed very easy to use, and the road to pounce out is hard and flat...... It's just that the cement is a little less. Can you give some more to my nephew when I go back? I'd like to pave a few roads over there in Anju to see. ”

“…… Several? ”

After listening to his words, Li Yuanjia was speechless for a moment.

Co-authored said so much to this kid last time, all in vain?

After rolling his eyes, Li Yuanjia said angrily: "You want cement?" Hehe, I don't have it here! If you want to use it, let your people burn it! ”

He Han Wangfu can only burn a little for experiments, how many roads do you want to build?

?

Li Ke didn't care about his attitude, and continued with a smile: "Uncle Huang, if it doesn't work, it's okay to give two craftsmen who can burn cement, right?" The little nephew came back with a four-wheeled carriage, and he couldn't leave it at home all day without using it, right? If you can build a few cement roads in the city of Yizhou, at least it won't make this carriage useless, right? ”

"This ......"

After hesitating for a while, Li Yuanjia suddenly hesitated.

Indeed, he promised to let someone build a four-wheeled carriage for Li Ke, although because of the construction period, this carriage could not be done before Li Ke left Chang'an, but Li Yuanjia promised his nephew that he would send someone to Anzhou City immediately after it was completed in the future.

Anyway, this kid paid for it, and Li Yuanjia naturally didn't mind.

But as he had previously warned, the total mass of today's four-wheeled carriages far exceeds that of ordinary two-wheeled carriages due to manufacturing processes and technology...... Although it is possible to greatly reduce the material used to reduce weight, but if that is the case, what is the significance to a big man like Li Ke?

So what Li Yuanjia didn't expect was that this kid would pay attention to building a few cement roads......

That's right, after a few cement roads are repaired, there will naturally be a place for a four-wheeled carriage, otherwise that thing will really suffer from running on ordinary dirt roads, and if it rains or snows a little more, it will definitely make the people in the car extremely sour.

But how much does a concrete road cost, can this kid know?

Could it be ......

Suddenly remembered a possibility, Li Yuanjia was slightly stunned, and then his heart thumped - if Li Ke can really build a few roads in Anzhou, no matter how he repairs it, it will undoubtedly be of great significance for the future promotion of cement.

Even if cement can never be applied on a large scale in the manual era due to the limitations of the times, if only a few roads are built, it should be no problem to leave a strong mark in history, right?

And in this way, there is no need for Li Yuanjia to spend his own money!

So after hesitating for a moment, he said indifferently: "About this matter, let's go back and think about it...... Hehe, don't worry, it's really not good, when the time comes, you send a few people over, and I'll let them teach them to burn cement. ”

The craftsman who was finally trained, Li Yuanjia is really reluctant.

And his attitude surprised Li Ke a little, but he didn't say anything after being stunned for a while. Although in his opinion, Uncle Huang is really a little stingy, but this kind of occasion is not the time to do more entanglement.

The two just drank a glass of wine and chatted casually, and no one noticed that while they were whispering, there were several pairs of eyes staring at them, and their eyes and expressions were changing very slightly. There are disdainful, worried, and even cold......
