After sending Cheng Lao Demon King away, Liu Yuan continued to urge his subordinates to test, and also asked them to speed up and save time.

Nearly 3,000 people, the number is still a little more, although it was carried out at the same time, the soldiers were also in order, and when Liu Yuan left the barracks, he only tested three things, which also made Liu Yuan a little helpless, so he could only let them get up early tomorrow to test.

Calculate the time, there are twelve or three days at most, and I will set off and return to Qinghe to marry Li Liqing, which is also good, and then screen one more round, the number of people is about the same, after all, the training behind it will still be continuously eliminated, so it is good, train an elite soldier, and I have a reliance in my hands, after all, in this era, it is better to seek others than to seek myself, to settle down, and I can't do it without some ability.

"Zhao Fu, Guan Yong."

"The subordinates are here," the two hurriedly replied.

"Let them go to bed early tonight, get up early tomorrow to test, tell the room, cook on the third watch, eat on the fourth watch, and the morning exercise is exempted, today I took the test of stone, equestrian and riding archery, tomorrow is the first queue test, then the infantry shooting and speed, these three must be completed before lunch, the weapon drill and the obstacle crossing will be held in the afternoon, be sure to complete the test tomorrow, count the points, and strive to finish it in two days, understand?"

Zhao Fu and Guan Yong glanced at each other, and then responded loudly together: "Yes, general." ”

"Okay, I still have something to do, let's go first, you guys are optimistic about this place."

This is a great trust, and it also shows that Liu Yuan focuses on cultivating the two, Zhao Fu and Guan Yong hurriedly agreed loudly, and then respectfully sent Liu Yuan and his two personal guards out of the camp

At this time, it has passed the fifth day of the fifth month of May, which also indicates that the weather has turned from cool to hot, and has begun to enter the hot summer.

In the scorching summer, the sun was like fire, and it was a day of sunbathing. Until the sun was about to set, the land was still hot, the temperature was still very humid and hot, Liu Yuan rode back and saw that many people moved the table under the big tree, while enjoying the cool while smearing two sips of wine, talking about interesting things, talking about mulberry and hemp, but also happy.

The weather was hot, and the carriage was not very popular, and many people traveled on horseback. Even the old demon king Cheng who is the prince of the country is no exception.

"Huh" Cheng Old Demon King, with his son Cheng Huailiang and more than a dozen private guards, stopped in front of Liu's mansion together.

"His grandmother's, it's really hot." Old Demon King Cheng wiped his sweat and jumped off the horse vigorously.

Cheng Huailiang also threw the horse in his hand to the guards beside him. A little embarrassed to say, "Dad, General Liu didn't invite a child." This is uninvited. Isn't it a little embarrassing? ”

"Bastard, we can come, that's to give him face, you can eat if you have to, what are you doing so much, um. By the way, after eating for a while, remember to bring one for your mother, don't eat it. Let the kid surnamed Liu redo it, but can't we eat and drink spicy food outside, and leave your mother behind. "For his wife who is as beautiful as a flower, Cheng Lao Demon King still likes it from the bottom of his heart.

The women of the Pei family are not only educated, have a good temperament, and are as beautiful as a flower, but also very good at capturing men's hearts, no, their sons are so old, and the old demon king Cheng still loves his wife, of course, whoever has such a beautiful wife in a family will also become careful and considerate.

"The child remembers."

Cheng Huailiang had just finished speaking, there was a sound of horses' hooves behind him, and he turned his head to look, hey, the ones who took the lead were Li Jing and Wei Chi Jingde, but they didn't expect them to come too, and they all came on horseback.

"Uncle Li is good, Uncle Wei Chi is good." Cheng Huailiang hurriedly greeted them.

"Good"

"Good behaved"

Li Jing and Yu Chi Jingde replied to Cheng Huailiang in a friendly manner, and Yu Chi Jingde pointed at Cheng Lao Demon King curiously and said, "Hey, Cheng Lao Hei, why are you here?" ”

was pointed at by Yu Chi Jingde and said "boy", Cheng Da Demon King was not angry, he was called like this old and qualified big brother, Cheng Lao Demon King was not angry at all, and said with a smile: "Liu Yuan's kid invited me to come, saying that he had a light meal, and there were surprises, Brother Yu Chi, you too?" ”

"Well, Liu Yuan's kid Xiangwu sent someone to send an invitation and invited me to come over for a gathering, saying that there was any surprise, I didn't expect you to be there, and I don't know if Li Jing and Brother Niu will come, if they also come, it will be lively enough." Yu Chi Jingde touched his beard and said happily.

"Deg" "Deg, drive"

As soon as the words fell, two teams of people appeared at the turn of the corner, led by Qin Qiong and Niu Jinda.

"Ha Luha, as soon as you talk about Cao Cao, Cao Cao will arrive, this is a few of our old guys." Old Demon King Cheng said happily.

Soon, Cheng Yanjin, Qin Qiong, Wei Chi Jingde, Li Jing, and Niu Jinda gathered in front of Liu Yuan's mansion, all of them were happy, teasing each other, saying hello, several generals of the dynasty, each with a dozen private guards, for a time in front of Liu's mansion crowds, lively and extraordinary, and Liu Yuan was arrested when the door was deserted.

With a "squeak", the door of Liu's Mansion opened, Liu Yuan strode out, and said with a smile as he walked: "Hello uncles, the little nephew had a small matter just now, and I was late to greet him, please forgive me." ”

Old Demon King Cheng said with a smile: "Don't come to this set, just serve Lao Tzu good wine and good food in a while." ”

"At your point, it seems that you starved to death in your previous life, and the starving ghost was reincarnated." Qin Qiong said angrily.

Everyone laughed, and after a while, Liu Yuan hurriedly invited everyone into the house.

"Liu Yuan, is the meal ready?" Boss Wei Chi Jingde said unceremoniously to Liu Yuan.

"It's still in preparation, and it will take a while."

"It's not okay yet, let's play cards, I'll say it first, I'm the oldest here, I want to sit on the top position, last time Cheng Laohei was not kind, he snatched the old man's position, and he didn't have to play behind him, and this time he couldn't let him succeed if he said anything." Thinking of the fact that Old Demon King Cheng deliberately let himself drink more water, and then took advantage of the opportunity of his own house to rob his position, Yu Chi Jingde was still angry.

"Fight the sparrows, okay, I'll do it too."

"Count me in"

"I'll come"

"My old cow is going to fight too."

Well, five people are fighting for four positions, and it seems that they don't give up on each other.

Seeing that the five of them were about to quarrel again, Liu Yuan on the side hurriedly persuaded the five of them, and said with a smile: "Don't fight for a few uncles, the little nephew has more fun." ”

"More fun?" Old Demon King Cheng's eyes opened, a look of joy appeared in his eyes, and he hurriedly asked, "What's fun, say it quickly." ”

Qin Qiong, Wei Chi Jingde, Li Jing and Niu Jinda also looked at Liu Yuan with a curious face, and they also wanted to know what Liu Yuan said was fun, and it was estimated that what he was playing was the "surprise" in Liu Yuan's mouth.

"Please let the little nephew sell it, and a few uncles will come with me, and you will know it at a glance." After speaking, he walked straight to the back garden with a few people.

Soon, Liu Yuan took a few curious generals to his back garden, walked to a clearing, pointed to the small hill covered with a cloth and said, "It's fun, it's down there." ”

"Brother Liu, can this be opened?" Cheng Huailiang said curiously.

It can be seen that there are a few piles of things covered under the cloth, and I don't know what they are, but seeing Liu Yuan's mysterious appearance, everyone suddenly became interested, and Cheng Huailiang, who was curious, couldn't help but take the lead in asking.

"Let's lift it."

After getting the agreement, Cheng Huailiang didn't say a word, picked up the piece of cloth, and pulled it gently, and the hidden things under the cloth suddenly revealed the true face of Lushan.

Everyone paused for a moment, and Li Jing pointed to the piles of things and said with a puzzled face: "Xiaoyuan, what does this mean?" ”

It's so mysterious, I thought it was something fun, but I didn't expect to open it and look at it, everyone was dumbfounded, the cloth was a small pile of sand, some gravel, a small bucket of water and a small pile of ash and not slippery, sand is not sand, soil is not soil, these things, what is there to see?

Old Demon King Cheng frowned and said, "Liu Yuan, you kid, aren't you one of our old guys to accompany you to play with mud and sand, right?" ”

Liu Yuan said with a smile: "It's almost the same as mud and playing with mud and sand, hehe." ”

Seeing the face of Old Demon King Cheng, Liu Yuan hurriedly explained: "A few uncles, don't be bored, children and mud can only have fun, but I, this one, can make a lot of money." ”

Li Jing looked at Liu Yuan, and then at the pile of gray things, and said a little uncertainly: "This, won't it be the cement you said." ”

The god of war is the god of war, show a little clue, let him catch it immediately, and then after a little analysis, there is an answer, which makes people have to be convinced, Liu Yuan can't help but praise: "Uncle Li is really thoughtful, that's right, last time I mentioned to a few uncles, the construction of the highway, the key point, is this cement, the little nephew lived up to his expectations, and finally made it out, and now I specially invite these uncles to witness it." ”

When he was in Yongzhou Prison, the old master asked someone to inform Liu Yuan of the news of the success of cement research, Liu Yuan last night, with a special order, went to Xiangrenfang to test, and met his early expectations, while instructing them not to stop, continue to develop better cement, while bringing back a few bags of samples, so that the future shareholders are ready to start the first round of negotiations on the joint development of the highway from Chang'an to Luozhou.

Looking at the pile of cement, Liu Yuan felt a sense of pride in his heart, the real sense of cement, was discovered in 1756 by the British engineer J. Smitton when he studied the characteristics of some lime hardening in water, because of his own appearance, more than 1,000 years earlier in the Tang Dynasty, with the emergence of the "big killer" of the times, it can definitely set off a new revolution in Datang's industry, so that the prosperous Datang can plug in the wings of take-off, of course, such a big project, there are too many things involved, such as shares, money, rights, obligations, etc., It must be discussed first, and then there will be no confusion.

Old Demon King Cheng said in surprise: "What? This pile of stuff, it's cement? Why is it so ugly? ”

It's so amazing, Cheng Lao Demon King thought it would shine, but he didn't expect it to be inconspicuous at all, it's really hard to believe, this is the cement that Liu Yuan said so mysteriously.

Niu Jinda, who rarely spoke, said: "How do you use this pile of things? (To be continued......)
