"I'm sorry, I drank too much last night and couldn't tell you! I haven't eaten yet, but today's meal is mine, and I asked my cook to make something for you. ”

Cai Cong said scoundrelly, Li Chengqian stroked his forehead with his hand, with a helpless face, just said that he was not drunk last night, but now he said that he was drunk, what can you do when you encounter this kind of bad friend?

The two went to the dining room to eat, Li Xiaopang, Li You, and Li Ke came together, and as soon as they entered the door, they heard Li You's stinky words: "Brother Cai, yesterday my father's holy decree said that I would learn from our third brother, so we won't be here to guide you." ”

"Come and sit down when you come to dinner, if you want to come to me, I won't give you a stool." Cai Cong knocked on the bowl with chopsticks and said casually.

Cai Cong's biggest achievement after coming to Datang is not to be a marquis, nor to hold military power, but to become true friends with the four bastards in front of him, which is his greatest guarantee in the future.

"Your poem was really well written last night, better than the glow-in-the-dark cup of grape wine, I brought you two catties of wine, let me see how a bucket is naturally combined."

"Disgusting me? Who drinks when they get up? Don't you all have to go to school today? ”

"How can it not be? Today I asked for leave with my master to save you, I have 20,000 yuan, Xiao Ke and Xiaoyou also have more than 10,000 yuan, the money is outside the door, hurry up and ask someone to pull it and put it away, don't let me see them again, I'm afraid I'll cry. ”

Li Tai said jokingly, Cai Cong was moved to his heart, don't think that a few of them can have a lot of money when they become princes, a lot of the taxes collected by the fief are spent on the fiefdom, plus the daily expenses, it is not easy to make up tens of thousands of yuan.

"Count a few of you righteous enough, come to dinner, take you to see the baby after eating, and then keep the money for me or take it away, you decide for yourself!"

After Cai Cong finished speaking, the three of them shrugged, Cai Cong didn't worry about them, let alone worried, and sat down to drink porridge and eat vegetables.

"Atai, you really have to eat a little less, it's a weight loss exercise, why are you getting fatter and fatter!"

"It's no wonder to me, practicing martial arts is very physically exhausting, the more tired I am, the more I eat, and in the end it became what it is now." Li Tai was not idle when he spoke, pinching chicken wings in his left hand and holding a chopstick dish in his right hand from time to time.

However, eating with this kind of person is appetizing, and by the time the five of them have finished eating, the table full of dishes is clean. Several people loosened their belts and walked out of the Hou Mansion regardless of their image.

It's terrible for these four masters to go out together, Cai Cong didn't even ask if something happened, but if something happened to the four of them, Li Shimin was able to give Chang'an a point.

Escorted by more than 700 guards, they left the city, passed through Caijia Village and came to the village where Wei Fuzi lived, and the village chief and the whole village were waiting at the entrance of the village early. He wore his best clothes, a brocade beard suit, which he had bought in a ready-to-wear store years ago to put on the façade.

Seeing a large number of people and horses rolling in the smoke and dust, the village chief immediately walked out of a dozen steps to greet him, and when he learned that the leader was the prince, and several princes, he was so excited that he almost fainted, when did such a big man come to their small village?

He wanted to get closer but felt that he was not qualified, and he was too far away and was afraid that he would be said to disrespect the prince, which can be described as a dilemma!

"What is the village chief doing like a fool? Hurry up, I have something to ask you? Cai Cong beckoned to the village chief standing two meters away, and the village chief immediately nodded and ran over, the prince can not stutter, the God of Wealth can not offend!

"What treasures can there be in this poor country, you say Cai Cong won't fool us, right?" Li Tai whispered to Li Chengqian, and the two brothers and brothers on one side nodded violently, it is not wrong for people here to be full, but how can there be treasures.

"Master Hou, what do you command?" The village chief said very dogly, and if the behavior is more flattering, it will be flattering.

"The cement mill has been making it for so long, can you make cement now?"

"Yes! That's great! In the past, the cement was simply mud, but the masters you sent were so powerful, and the cement you made now is harder than any stone or iron than water.

Now there are 5,000 catties of cement powder, the kiln for firing cement is too small, not much, the new kiln has been built again, and when the new kiln is built, 10,000 catties a day is not a problem. ”

The village chief is still relatively up-to-date, Cai Cong only asked one question, and he answered all the related questions, which made Cai Cong nod with satisfaction.

"Lead the way, the prince and the princes want to see our precious cement, and it is time for them to see what it means to turn decay into magic."

"Eh~ What you are talking about is, the prince, please follow the old man."

The village chief led everyone to a few small caves, there were basically not many people here, just a few villagers were adding carbon to the kiln, and a bucket of herbal tea was placed beside them. The temperature around was very high, and after only a short stand, the crowd was sweating.

This is the reason why Cai Cong has not been able to make cement before, he never thought that the original cement also needs to be burned.

"The baby you said was in there?"

Li Chengqian pointed to the cave casually, and asked Cai Cong with a suspicious attitude, the treasures recorded in the books he had read were basically hidden in the deep mountains and old forests, the treasures of feng shui, and places that were rarely visited.

No matter how Cai Cong's baby looks, it looks like a treasure made by himself, Li Chengqian doesn't believe him very much, and others also have the illusion of being deceived.

"You don't know anyone like you, who gives you treasures. Come over here and see the baby. ”

Cai Cong patted a piece of condensed cement and asked a few of them to come over and take a look, it was a cement block half a meter long and half a meter thick, with a very irregular shape, like a stone that had just been dug out of the ground.

"Is this a huge gem that hasn't been carved yet?"

The master who taught Li You liked to collect jade very much, and often told them some allusions to jade, and when he saw such a large stone, he immediately thought of the original stone.

", it's a cement block. It's formed by the solidification of those powders after adding water and sand, and this thing is solidified and harder than stone, do you say it's a treasure? ”

Cai Cong patted the cement proudly, waiting for everyone's flattery. However, he probably overestimated the foresight of this group of people, Li Chengqian and Li Tai were thoughtful, but they couldn't think of any effect.

Li Ke saw that the two of them didn't speak, and he also kept silent, only Li You said with a big grin: "It's a novelty, but there are mountains of stones, what's the use of you making stones, if you can make some jade, then you won't have to worry about running out of money." ”

"I've never seen you so stupid, this cement can build bridges and pave roads, build houses and build cities, and the cost is low, if we build all the cities in Datang once, do you think we will get rich?"

Cai Cong nodded Li You's head vigorously, hating iron and steel, Li You nodded blankly, Cai Cong said that there was a hole in the space, and he couldn't react to the idea.

Li Chengqian stretched out his hand to pull Cai Cong to his side, and asked excitedly, "How much does it cost?" ”
