Chapter 149: Cement
How strong is Cheng Biting Jin? Li Chengqian once saw that when he was drunk, he threw a stone lock of more than 90 catties effortlessly to Wei Chigong's house next door.
Kicked the cement block hard, and saw that it didn't move, so he took a few steps back and turned the hammer upside down, only to see Cheng Biting Jin shouting, twisting his arms, and rounding the hammer and hitting the cement block.
"Hah!"
The hammer hit the cement hard, and the huge reaction force made Cheng bite the golden top take a step back, and follow the reputation, only to see that there was only a shallow dent on the cement block, but there was no trace of fragmentation.
"Good! Lu Guogong really has a lot of strength! Li Chengqian slapped his face on the side, Cheng gritted his teeth, and was not embarrassed, and said to Li Er: "If the good things are used to build the city, they will be incomparably strong!" ”
Du Ruhui stepped forward and wiped the concave part, nodded, looked at Li Chengqian and said, "I don't know how much this thing is worth?" Is it difficult to produce? ”
Li Chengqian touched his nose and then pointed to the cement block on the ground and said: "Such a large piece of cement, now the price is almost the same as a green brick, the difficulty of making it is not to talk about, but the workshop is a little small, if it is expanded, it is naturally not very difficult." ”
"Just now you said that this thing can be built, if the walls of Chang'an City are renovated, how much will it cost?"
Li Er's words made the ministers also interested, and Li Chengqian was a little overjoyed, and then said: "It's hard to say now, but if you compare it with before, you will naturally save more than half of the money." After thinking for a while, he said: "Time will also be saved." ”
In ancient times, the means of building the city wall were quite clever, but the manpower and material resources used greatly in the construction, so even Li Er was a little weak.
It's just that now that the cement comes out, Li Er's problems will naturally be solved, not only on the city wall, but also on houses, road repairs, sergeants, and even for future city construction.
"Go back and hand over the recipe to the palace." He never misses a thing that he sees, although Li Chengqian is helpless, he finally resigned himself to his fate, some things will be better in the hands of the emperor than in his own hands.
Everyone lived in the mountains for only three days, during these three days, Li Chengqian was making a budget for the construction of the city wall, how many bricks, cement, manpower, material resources, everything was available, Li Er was satisfied with the sight of the left, the household department was happy to grin after seeing it, and the Ministry of Industry was also full of joy after reading Li Chengqian to have a meal, Li Chengqian naturally smiled from ear to ear, the most profitable business in the world is real estate development.
Spring ploughing has been put on the agenda, Li Er took the family to the Huangzhuang outside Chang'an City, went to the prosperous clothes and ornaments of the past, changed into the coarse linen clothes worn by the peasants, and the civil and military officials began to work in the field, Li Chengqian took the ox, Li Er staggered behind the plow, did not plow a cage, all need to stop and rest, the eldest grandson wore the service of a folk woman, pulled his hair behind him at will, and began to sow seeds in the back with a clay pot.
The chubby Li Tai and Li Ke carried the plough behind them to join the soil, but Li Chengqian and Li Er had already ploughed a piece of land, and the two of them did only a little and a half.
The spring sun is always warm, Li Er sat on the ridge to rest, and after a while, he and Li Chengqian took over the work of the Li Tai brothers.
"Keming's health has been worse for a while recently, compared to these days." Saying this, he suddenly exerted force, and the last ridge was also plowed, Li Er wiped the sweat on his forehead, took the water and took a sip, and then looked at Li Chengqian, who was looking at the plow stick, and said, "Is there really no way to cure it?" ”
Li Chengqian sighed when he heard this, put down the straight plow in his hand, and said with a sigh: "Erchen said something that he didn't like, even if he was saved? If you were an ordinary person with such suffering, you would not want to live a long time ago. ”
Li Erchang sighed, and didn't speak, only after a while, he told Li Chengqian to take a look, the two of them have long been good companions of both gentlemen and friends, but now that their friends want to leave, they always feel a little unbelievable in their hearts.
"Floating life and death, the turtle lives for a hundred years, the law of nature is just that, the father still doesn't have to be too sad." Li Er's eyes were a little red, obviously this matter was not so easy for him to let go, looked up at the sky, leaned over and sighed: "That's it~ Keming, you must be more open than me." ”
Du Ruhui has been ill for three or four years, at first he only thought it was typhoid fever and cold, and later learned that there was a problem with the kidneys, which led to organ failure, in the words of later generations, uremia, at first Li Chengqian could still use food to recuperate, but the more it developed, the worse the condition became, and now, he has begun to vomit blood.
The royal spring ploughing is just a show, and it is not too much to say that it is a political show.
In the evening, Li Er set up a banquet in the palace, and the family got together and began to prepare for dinner, the meal was also a standard peasant meal, rice, vegetable soup, Li Er and the eldest grandson were nothing, eating corn and rice one bite at a time, and occasionally drinking soup.
Li Tai really couldn't stand it anymore, and swallowed hard when he saw the vegetable soup without a little oil, and after repeated efforts, he began to stuff corn into his mouth.
After a tiring day, even the unpalatable food will become sweet, Li Tai ate two large bowls of corn rice with vegetable soup, then came back to his senses, patted his fat belly, and said with a comfortable face: "It's so full." ”
Li Er smiled slightly, the eldest grandson Yiguaner, but the two-year-old Li Zhi on the side struggled to get off the eunuch and climbed onto Li Chengqian's lap, and clumsily began to grab food with the chopsticks in his hand.
Li Erqing coughed a few times, and the chatter and laughter of the princes and princesses in the palace suddenly stopped, and the hall was instantly silent.
Turning his head to look at Li Taidao, he said, "How is Qingque's homework today?" ”
Li Tai got up and saluted Li Er respectfully, his chubby body was trembling even when he got up, and he didn't stand up several times, Li Er laughed, waved his hand and said, "I'm tired of a day, sit down and talk." ”
After Li Tai thanked him, he said, "Mr. Chong has been teaching "The Mean" recently. ”
Li Shimin smiled: "Where did you read?" ”
"A gentleman walks in his own position, and does not want to be outside of it. Rich and noble, noble and noble; Poor and lowly, poor and lowly; Su Yidi, line Yidi; Hardship is the same, and the walk is hardship. The gentleman is not satisfied without entering.
In the upper position, not under the mausoleum, in the lower position, do not help, correct oneself and do not seek others, then there is no complaint. The upper does not complain about the sky, and the lower does not especially the people, so the gentleman is easy to live, and the villain is lucky to take risks.
Zi said: Shoot a gentleman, lose all the right hooves, but ask for his body. ”
Li Shimin smiled with interest: "How can you solve it? ”
