With gunpowder, cement and pulley blocks, these three things have increased the speed of city construction several times, and if nothing else, I am afraid that in less than a year, this county will be erected in everyone's field of vision. This is so fast that it took more than ten years to build a county seat in the past, which is simply outrageous. And the Chang'an City of the Tang Dynasty took several generations to really build. And if there is this cement gunpowder and pulley block, I am afraid that Yan Lide is confident that he will be able to expand Chang'an City several times within ten years. This is the power of science and technology, Yan Lide, an architect, has the deepest experience, and he has experienced the infinite power of science and technology from these few small things. Yan Lide hurriedly reported the news to the emperor, as if he wanted to report the news.

"Your Majesty, do you have anything to do with your courtiers? Is it about gunpowder? Jingwen asked.

But Li Shimin shook his head and said, "I don't care about the gunpowder thing. I care about cement! ”

Jingwen is also a little strange, why doesn't Li Shimin care about gunpowder?

"Your Majesty, why don't you care about gunpowder?" Jingwen asked.

"Gunpowder is not bad for ambushes, but there is too much preparation and risk, so it is not a very good thing. So, you can just play with this yourself, and you don't have to report it to me. Li Shimin said.

Only then did Jingwen know that it turned out that Emperor Li Shimin had not thought of the real use of gunpowder. In fact, before the invention of the cannon, gunpowder had a very limited use. Before the invention of cannons, gunpowder was also used to fight ambushes, and the risk was also high, so it was not a weapon favored by military experts. Moreover, the emperor obtained the news through Yan Lide, who was an engineer, so Yan Lide naturally cared more about cement than gunpowder. And this also caused Yan Lide to write more cement in the recital to Li Shimin. And not mentioning gunpowder. I'm afraid that gunpowder is only a passing mention in Yan Lide's recital, and there is not much color.

"Your Majesty, do you want this cement?" Jingwen asked.

Li Shimin immediately said: "Jingwen! My Datang is now in ruins, and I need money for everything. And I am a benevolent monarch, and I can't bear to let the people suffer too much servitude. And this cement is just right, you can build the city wall, so that the city wall can be completed quickly, so that the construction of Datang can be completed quickly. Moreover, it can save a lot of costs, so that the people do not have to bear too heavy forced labor. That's a great thing! I believe that you will help me. ”

Jingwen thought in his heart: "You said so, can I not help?" However, if you want to take it away for no reason, there is no such good thing! ”

"Your Majesty, it's okay! As long as the emperor is willing, the minister can produce a large amount of cement for the emperor's use. However, this production comes at a cost. So ......" Although Jingwen didn't say anything, the meaning was very obvious, and it was obviously about to benefit.

Li Shimin suddenly smiled and said, "Jingwen! Don't worry, I won't ask for your things for nothing. What a give-and-give! ”

"Yo? The sun is coming out in the west? Jingwen was surprised in his heart.

Usually, Li Shimin, an old picker, can save money, and he will never say what he will give money. Now that the emperor's discipline has been recovered, he has become disciplined, this is simply unimaginable!

"Still. I plan to invest in the cement industry! Li Shimin said.

After Jingwen heard this, he immediately knew that this emperor was still a personality who wanted money to die. Jingwen knew that this emperor liked money. And it's not a general like. Since I made money, I have become addicted, so now I want to invest in this cement industry.

"Your Majesty, don't compete with the people for profit!" Jingwen said immediately.

"Don't compete with the people? Then I'm afraid that if there are any bad people in your cement workshop by then, or if there is a problem with production, then the government needs to investigate. This is not to compete with the people, but to keep the people safe. Li Shimin said.

Threat, this is a threat from the red fruit. Li Shimin's meaning is obvious, that is, he is not allowed to invest, so he must send people to check the water meter frequently. Although the emperor may not be rich, he has rights! He can send a few people to check the water meter at any time, so that you can't operate with peace of mind. This method is a common method used by many corrupt officials to solicit bribes, but the emperor uses it like this, who dares to punish the crime? What's more, this is for the sake of the safety of the people, and no one can refute it.

"Shameless! It's shameless! No wonder you can be the emperor! Jing Wen lamented in his heart.

"Your Majesty, how much are you going to want?" Jingwen asked.

"Sixty percent, I give a thousand dollars, and I want sixty percent, how about it? This cement is related to the future construction of my Datang city, so I must be sixty percent! You can save money! Li Shimin asked.

A thousand yuan, although it is already a lot for many people, but compared to the future investment, I am afraid that Jingwen is the one who pays more money, so the emperor's investment can simply be ignored.

"Your Majesty, it's better to do this, you give twenty percent of your sixty percent to Yan Lide, he is also one of the inventors after all! Therefore, he should also be able to get some, otherwise why would he help us get this research and construction in the future? Therefore, it is also beneficial to give him 20%, so that he can continue to study in the future. I want the horses to run, and I want the horses to eat grass! Jingwen said.

Li Shimin thought for a while and said, "Yes, give the Yan family 20% of the shares, and let them help us get new cement and more varieties when the time comes." In the future, the cement needed will naturally become harder and harder, so that it can be competent for the new city wall! ”

I'm afraid that when Yan Lide hears this news, his mouth will be crooked, because how much profit can be obtained in the future, this is probably a lot. When the time comes, Yan Lide and their Yan family will be able to obtain a large amount of wealth, which will make the family more prosperous. They are originally a family engaged in construction projects, so they naturally know very well about this kind of building materials, and they must be able to know how much profit they can make. And with the help of the prestige of the Yan family in the construction industry, this cement can be promoted, and the market will be even bigger at that time. Therefore, giving Yan Lide two components is only beneficial, not harmless. (To be continued......)
