The defeat of the Liao war has long been spread among the government and the opposition, and has become a topic of discussion in the streets.

The four people in the private room were silent, and their faces were full of sighs and sorrow. The defeat of the Liao is not something that the four people are worried about, what makes the four people angry is that the Son of Heaven does not know who is the person, the court is full of traitors, and the black and white reversal is only between the tongues of these people.

When it comes to grief and indignation, the four of them are worried about the country and the people, and even the atmosphere of eating tea and chatting is much duller, and the sound of the husband is heard on the street, seeing that the sky is not early, Lotte got up and said: "It's not early, the three adults will go to court early tomorrow, or go home early to rest!" ”

"Yes, tomorrow I will wait for the early court, so I will leave first!"

Li Gang, Yu Xu, and Chen Lingyuan got up one after another, and they were about to walk out.

Seeing that the three of them got up and didn't have the slightest intention of paying the bill, Lotte shouted, "Three adults stay behind!" ”

"What does Master Hou command?" Hearing Lotte's call, the three of them stopped and turned back to ask.

Looking at the three of them, Lotte looked at the messy table with cups and plates, and asked, "Le remembered to make a bet with three adults last time, this bet was won by Le, who paid for the tea tonight?" ”

"Who pays?" Yu Xuan laughed, looked at Li Gang and Chen Lingyuan and said with a smile: "Of course it is Lord Lehou that you paid ......"

"Why?" Lotte was surprised: "This bet, but Le won." ”

"This person is really richer and stingier, and the rich people in the countryside are like this!" Yu said with a smile, squeezing his eyes at Li Gang as he spoke.

Seeing Yu Xu's eyes depreciating to himself, Li Gang immediately understood, and immediately said: "Lord Hou has recently applied for a lot of patents from the imperial court, what steam engines, generators, paddle steamers and bearings, the imperial court has approved them, isn't this worth celebrating, isn't this worth celebrating, besides, there is a credit to us!" ”

"It won't be long before the Hou Ye will have a wide range of wealth and become rich in the world, isn't this worth celebrating?" Yuxu was on the side.

As half of Lotte's teacher, Chen Lingyuan shook his head and laughed on the side, as if he remembered something, and said: "Xia Guan heard that Hou Ye has applied for a patent for what kind of cement these days, it is said that only need to add water and mix it with sand or stones and mud as usual, and it can solidify in an hour, and completely solidify after a few days, it is as solid as a rock, and the hammer cannot be chiseled." ”

"Yes, the lower officials have heard about it!" Hearing Chen Lingyuan mention cement, Yuxu also thought about it, "I heard that in the south of Biandu City, Hou Ye opened a cement stone, and sold a large number of this kind of thing called cement, and it is said that the sales are very good!" ”

"With this, today's tea money has to be paid by Master Hou!" Li Gang simply made a final decision.

Immediately, Lotte couldn't cry or laugh.

Chen Lingyuan continued: "I grew up in the countryside since I was a child, and I have seen that the brick houses built by the people are made of lime and boiled glutinous rice slurry to bond the masonry, and the cost is not affordable by ordinary people......

Obviously, people of insight like Chen Lingyuan have already seen the great value of cement.

"It is said that because of the appearance of cement, many merchants operating lime kilns outside the city are going to close, and Hou Ye has made a lot of money, this guest should be invited by Hou Ye!" Yu Xuan interrupted Chen Lingyuan's words, and looked at Chen Lingyuan as if he was looking at a pig teammate.

After speaking, Yuxu looked at Lotte and said with a smile: "Hou Ye's annual salary is 10,000 yuan, and now the business is so big, I only have a salary of dozens of yuan per month, and I have to support my family and hire people......"

Without waiting for Yu Yu to finish speaking, Lotte said: "The three adults think that the low income is not enough to support the family, how about Le Mou show the three adults a way to make money?" ”

"What's the way to make money?" Yu Xuhao shook his head again and said: "We are all Qingshui Yamen, poor officials who have never scavenged the people's fat and ointment, but they don't have any capital. ”

Lotte said: "The capital is some, but Le can pay the three adults in advance, and when I make money in the future, the three adults will pay me back!"

"What kind of business is it?" Li Gang and the three of them asked in unison.

Who in this world is not short of money!

Lotte continued: "The situation of Biandu cement sales, the three adults have also seen it, Le wants to expand the scale of production, but also to open up the market, the three adults can win the exclusive sales right granted by Le in their respective hometowns!" ”

Having never heard of such a new thing, Li Gang was puzzled: "What is the exclusive agent sales right?" ”

Lotte Yosan explained: "Cement was invented by Le, and recently applied for a patent, which also means that in Da Song Le, he has an indisputable ownership of the technology of cement, and anyone who steals the technology of making cement is a violation of the law of the Great Song Dynasty."

Compared with the stone to mix glutinous rice sweat sticky wall, cement is cheap and good quality, and will become the most important building material in the Song Dynasty in the future. ”

Before Lotte finished speaking, the eyes of Li Gang, Yuxu, and Li Lingyuan had already lit up, and even because of excitement, the sound of breathing had become a little heavy.

After a while, Li Gang shook his head and said: "My hometown is in the south and north of the world, but this cement is transported to the past, and the freight will be ......."

With a wave of his hand, Lotte smiled and said: "Lord Li, don't worry, there is a place where lime can be burned, cement can be fired, and Le will set up a few more cement factories in various places to solve this matter!" ”

"In this way, today's tea money, the official is invited!" Yu said with a smile.

Everyone laughed in unison.

The laughter fell, Lotte Zhengse said: "There is something to ask for your help, in order to expand the influence of cement on sales, Le wants to build a sixteen-storey brick and concrete cement structure building in Biandu, if someone is embarrassed by Le, please also ask three adults to deal with Le!" ”

"So big?" The three of them were taken aback in unison.

"What is a brick-concrete structure?" Li Gang grasped the main point.

Lotte and the three explained: "The so-called brick-concrete structure is a house structure made of cement, bricks, and steel bars mixed with sand and stones! ”

Chen Lingyuan was also surprised and said: "Building such a tall building, can Master Hou guarantee that there is no danger?" ”

Lotte said seriously: "Use the best steel bars as bones, cement as muscles, and the best green bricks to ensure that there is no risk." ”

Listening to Lotte's words, Yu Xuan smiled and said: "It turns out that Hou Ye is useful to the place where I am waiting, if the tea money is paid by Hou Ye today, I will follow Hou Ye, if it is Hou Ye's reluctant tea money, no way!" ”

The four of them immediately burst into laughter again.

……

Out of the private room, the four of them were waiting to go downstairs, and there was a group of Yanai in fancy clothes laughing there, and there was a young fat man staring at Lotte.

Regarding the origin of these young people, Lotte is very clear in their hearts, it is nothing more than some sons and daughters of the family, in the words of later generations, some rich generations of officials who have nothing to do.

Seeing that someone was looking at Lotte, Wu Song and Yang Zhi's eyes were full of vigilance, and at the same time, Lotte was also looking at the fat man, seeing that the fat man's outfit was either rich or expensive, and he thought that he was also a rich man's yanei.

Between the vigilance of Wu Song and the others, the fat man walked towards Lotte and bowed, "May I ask if this is Lord Le?" ”

"It's Le!" Lotte returned the salute and asked, "Your Excellency?" ”

"Under the surname Sun Mingcai!" The fat man hurriedly showed a smiling face and reported to his home, and then looked at Lotte's face and said: "Hou Ye Le, I saw the thousand-mile boat that Hou Ye parked on the Bianhe River using the paddle wheel on his own, and I admired the talent and knowledge of Hou Ye, and I wanted to ask Hou Ye if he was willing to cut his love and sell his own thousand-mile boat to ......."

The fat man's companion listened to the fat man's conversation, and immediately gathered around, and his eyes were all good.

Lotte replied categorically: "Until now, Le has only built a thousand-mile ship and is still experimenting with it, so he can't cut his love!" ”

Hearing that Lotte refused to give up, the fat man was a little anxious, and hurriedly said: "Hou Ye, money is not a problem, as long as Hou Ye you make a price, you will definitely ...... it."

Hearing that Sun Cai wanted to buy Lotte's thousand-mile boat, all the people in the yamen were also good-looking, and they also liked the thousand-mile boat regardless of it, and they also shouted: "Master Hou, not only Sun Fat likes this boat, but I like it all, as long as Master Hou you make a price, my eyes will never blink!" ”

"What are you waiting for the Thousand Miles Ship to do?" Lotte asked with a smile.

Hearing Lotte's words, Sun Fatzi glanced at each other with a group of yamen, and a smile appeared on his face that you and I both understand.

Lotte laughed: "How can you have fun in an ordinary painting boat with a thousand-mile boat walking on its own?" ”

Listening to Sun Cai's words, Lotte came up with his intention to buy a boat, just like the second generation of rich girls in later generations who drove sports cars and yachts.

was broken by Lotte's idea, and the fat man did not shy away from it at all, and said with a smile: "Hou Ye is really a model for my generation, and the grand scene caused by Hou Ye driving a boat on the Bianhe River that night really made me worship and admire......

Obviously, in the eyes of these rich second generations and official second generations, the girl in the painting boat bubble is old-fashioned, and the girl who can walk automatically without human drive is the most fashionable.

In ancient times, it was the same reason that a rich man bought a painting boat and a luxury yacht in later generations, which was definitely a big business. After thinking about it, Lotte asked, "Are you going to buy a thousand-mile boat?" ”

All the yamen nodded.

Signaling everyone not to be anxious, Lotte said: "Don't be anxious, Le will let his subordinates build a kind of thousand-mile ship specially used for fun in the future, and after the batch is built, Le will sell it in the Great Song Dynasty." ”

"Is what Master Hou said true?" Hearing Lotte say this, the yamen became excited.

Since there is a business door, how can there be a reason to push it off in business, and besides, there is no need for a high-power steam engine to make ordinary pleasure yachts, and there is no big requirement except for luxury, not to mention that the steam engine is ready-made, just make it in batches as it is.

Lotte said: "Don't worry, the thousand-mile ship is different from ordinary ships, and it takes at least two levels to drive a thousand-mile ship, and it also needs to have a certain amount of professional knowledge......"

Hearing that Lotte was relieved and had the intention of selling a thousand-mile boat, Sun Fatzi didn't care about what Lotte was going to say, and hurriedly shouted: "Hou Ye, what do you say that I want to set this thousand-mile boat, Hou Ye is convenient now, and I will first collect the advance deposit below?" ”

"Master Hou, I'll make a reservation later!"

……

Seeing such a scene, Li Gang and the three of them couldn't help but glance at each other, the current Le Hou Ye is completely looking for money, or it won't be long before he is afraid that in addition to the heavenly family, the first rich and noble family in the Great Song Dynasty, even the rich and rival the country is not a problem.
