The cannon is on the string, and now it has to be fired.

"Open fire."

Zhu Qizhen said with a full of anger.

Only a loud bang was heard, the cannon was discharged, and everyone subconsciously took a few steps back.

Although the cultural relics unearthed in later generations prove that the Ming Dynasty has a flowering bullet, because of the backward technology, the flowering elasticity is unstable, so the solid bullet has been used in the Ming Dynasty.

The initial velocity of the newly discharged solid bullet was extremely fast, and in the blink of an eye, the solid bullet had already landed heavily on the low wall made of cement.

A jaw-dropping scene happened.

The low wall was shattered and scattered, a deep dent appeared, and the projectile that had lost power fell to the ground, but the low wall still stood.

The first reaction of the person next to him was, "God, so hard? ”

Zhu Qizhen didn't seem satisfied, and ordered: "Continue to fire." ”

Half a pillar of incense, the gunner has quickly reloaded a shot.

Three more shots were fired, and although there was a lot of debris on the ground, the low wall was still there, and the projectile fell to the ground.

The crowd froze in place, looking at the gray low wall, and their eyes were all strange.

"Ladies and gentlemen, what do you think of this wall now?"

How is it?

It's hard, it's all outrageously hard.

Zhang Fu sighed: "This gray wall is not inferior to the big city." ”

You know, he got his hands on this low wall, and it was only two or three feet thick.

Such a performance is enough to make people jaw-dropping.

"Do you know what this wall is made of?"

Everyone shook their heads.

"Jin Ying, let people bring things up."

Jin Ying, who was still a little stupid on the side, immediately came back to his senses and went to do it.

Jin Ying sighed in her heart, what His Majesty said is not false at all, this thing is really an artifact.

He witnessed the construction of this concrete road with his own eyes yesterday, which is incredible.

The material is extremely easy to obtain, sand and gravel are everywhere, and there are many in the river, so it is easy to mine.

A bucket of cement ash was placed in front of everyone.

This, this is ......

Zhu Qizhen glanced at him, and Jin Ying said on the side: "Ladies and gentlemen, this wall was made from the things in the bucket yesterday.

The process is very simple, just mix the sand and cement with water, mix them together, and then pour them together, and wait for a day. ”

What, that's it......

This is the same thing as plant ash......

Everyone's first reaction was not to believe it, but they had to believe it.

A bucket of mixed cement was also brought to the front, and the mud looked similar to the mud in the fish pond, which seemed to be no different at all, and there was a lot of sand and gravel mixed in it. "More than that", Zhu Qizhen said: "The Qing family looks at the ground again, this is also made of cement, what is the difference between the Qing family and the Qing family?" ”

Everyone was stunned and turned their heads, and found a short, but different, and conspicuous cement road on the ground.

After a group of ministers stepped on it, their faces changed drastically.

The first moment I stepped on it, I felt like I was stepping on a big rock, it was flat, and it was unimaginably flat.

Although there is a rough feeling when stepping on it, this is more than a star and a half compared to other roads, which are the blue brick roads at the entrance of the palace.

Zhang Fu didn't even believe in evil, and stomped his feet on the cement road.

"Oops~ It's so hard."

With this stamping of his feet, Zhang Fu couldn't help but cry out in pain, and then suddenly came to his senses, couldn't help but squat on the road, knocked on it with his fingers, and studied it carefully.

The others hesitated for a moment, then lowered their shelves, and also squatted down and touched and knocked with their hands, as if they were hitting the hard stone.

"It's incredible!"

Wu Xing was a little incredulous, got up and looked back behind him.

It's hard to imagine that a cement slurry like silt can be as hard as a stone and so smooth when it dries.

These top courtiers of the imperial court were walking back and forth on this short concrete floor curiously at this time, squatting down and looking around, Zhu Qizhen felt a little funny in his heart.

That's not enough, though.

It was a small eunuch who had poured a bucket of water on the concrete floor.

A group of people didn't know why, but when they saw that the cement floor under the water had not changed in the slightest, they immediately reacted to the problem.

"Well, the ground isn't blistered."

Zhang Fu glared and muttered, but thinking that this cement can't even be blasted, how can a little water be soaked.

Wu Xing, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, was the most straight in his eyes, and he suddenly thought that if the official road could be like this cement floor......

The official road that will not be blistered by water is simply unimaginable for this old man of the Ministry of Works.

The importance of the official road is self-evident, and the official road that extends in all directions is the blood vessel that connects every place in the Ming Dynasty.

In this era, the traffic is extremely inconvenient, building roads and bridges is a very money-consuming thing, the official road this kind of silver, can only be the imperial court, if it can be repaired once in a hundred years, it is excellent to maintain once in ten years.

Therefore, every time, it is often necessary for the official to come forward and summon the common people to build bridges and pave roads in the form of forced labor during the slack time.

Therefore, since ancient times, this bridge and road repair are good things for the benefit of one party, if there is a landlord and old wealth can pay to build a road, build a bridge or something, it will be regarded as a thumbs up by the locals to praise a few words, praise a good person.

If he can cultivate the official road to the appearance in front of him when he is in office, he is afraid that he will be famous for eternity.

Wu Xing shook his head, what was he thinking, although this cement was so easy to use, it must be rare and expensive, how could it be as he wished...

Zhu Qizhen saw the difference between Wu Xing and asked, "Wu Qing's family, what do I seem to be thinking about you?" ”

was suddenly named by the emperor, Wu Xing was shocked, stabilized his mind, and truthfully said what he thought.

The words made everyone's hearts come alive.

Wang Zuo thought that if he could really build such a road, in this way, the money allocated by the Ministry of Household to the Ministry of Industry would be less, and he would be able to have more royal wealth on hand, Taicang would be a little richer, and he would be able to spend the money on the blade.

Kuang Yu and Zhang Fu thought that if the road could be like this, it would be much easier to drop military horses from all over the country every year.

Every year, the military headquarters and the Governor's Office of the Fifth Army receive a lot of discounts, all of which have to be delayed because the heavy rain has washed away the official roads......

Before talking, Zhu Qizhen laughed: "What's impossible about this, this cement is not a precious thing, but Wu Qing's family thought of it as I thought, and they all thought of it to repair the official road." ”

Wu Xing was stupid in place, and His Majesty's sentence "Cement is not a precious thing" swirled in the minds of many people and did not disperse for a long time.

In their eyes, cement is almost a miraculous thing that needs to be used, together with sand and stones, and such a thing, in their inherent thinking, should not be priceless......

But when Zhu Qizhen said the cement raw material, everyone was stunned at first, and then ecstatic.

What is this, what is this, this is inexhaustible, this is really said without money.

For such a cost, Wang Zuo has already moved to discuss with the Ministry of Industry, overhaul and repair, and rectify the specific things of Daming's infrastructure.

"Come on, I see that it's good over there, bring the prince over."

Zhu Qizhen saw that his son's mind was not here, he looked at the second general's cannon with all his thoughts, thought about it, and simply let him go today and let him have a good time......

After a few little eunuchs received the order, they led Zhu Jianshen and left.

Zhu Qizhen retracted his thoughts and continued: "I asked you to come to the military battle bureau today, just to come to see this cement, this cement, will make a great contribution to my Ming Dynasty."

Think about it, you think about it, this kind of solidity, how much better it can be to build roads and dams than before, how much silver can be reduced by the imperial court, and how much convenience can the people get. ”

"What Your Majesty said is true", Wang Zuo took over the conversation and immediately said: "Every year because of this, the household department reduces and reduces disaster relief is not a small amount.

But now it's okay, with this cement, my people are blessed and blessed.

On behalf of the Ministry of Households, the Ministry of Industry must come up with a way to allocate it as soon as possible, and the Ministry of Household will certainly be able to allocate it as soon as possible. ”

Zhu Qizhen smiled dumbly, it was really Wang Zuo, and it was nothing different from what he had guessed before.

This is also why Wang Zuo's eyes are always staring at the inside, always thinking about the iron rooster that there is less here and there less, even if Zhu Qizhen privately scolds him for "not pulling out a dime", he is still relieved to hand over the household department to him to take care of.

At this time, Wu Xing felt that happiness had come too suddenly, and the good days of the military department had come.

It's rich and cheap, or build roads from Beijing first.

Not only did the Ministry of Industry think about it, but Kuang Yu and Zhang Fu glanced at each other and understood each other's thoughts.

It's a good thing to use to build roads, but it's even more beautiful to use it to build a border fort.

I also saw it, so a low wall can block several rounds of artillery bombardment, and the effect is not too good.

I don't know how many gaps there are in the border wall of thousands of miles to the north, and how many fortress passes are urgently repaired......

As soon as this remark came out, it coincided with Zhu Qizhen.

In this way, the speed of building new cities and military forts in Monan can also be greatly accelerated.

Gentlemen and ministers, every word you and I have already decided on the basic policy of large-scale infrastructure construction in the future.

Jin Ying was like a transparent person on the side, he knew that His Majesty was going to make a fortune.

Yesterday, His Majesty had already issued an order to bring out the imperial shop that was originally managed by the Imperial Horse Supervisor and hand it over to the Master of Ceremonies and the Imperial Horse Supervisor to jointly manage it.

His Majesty also told him that the imperial shop can also do this cement business.

Looking at it, after the Ming Dynasty, there were more places to use cement floors, so why not make a fortune.

At this moment, there was a sudden rush of footsteps in the distance.

Then, Huang Ci, who was so anxious that his legs were shaking, rushed over, knelt down directly, and stammered, "Your Majesty, it's a big thing, it's a big thing, the prince is ......"

The cheerful atmosphere just now came to an abrupt end.

"Prince, he...... Fell into a well. ”

The atmosphere instantly dropped to freezing.

Before the words fell, Zhu Qizhen had already rushed out with a swish, like a gust of wind.

The ministers were also stupid in place, and after reacting, they immediately followed the trend and hurried to catch up.

Behind, Jin Ying took a group of eunuch guards and followed at a trot.

In a short time, the entire palace was shaken.

When Zhu Qizhen arrived, he saw someone lying on the edge of the well, his whole arm stretched in, and his face was red, "Prince, Prince, you are holding the hand of the slave!" Tongs! ”

A group of eunuch guards were helpless and stomped their feet on the spot in a hurry.

The eunuch who usually served Zhu Jianshen was so frightened that he collapsed to the ground, and his crotch was already wet.

Zhu Qizhen looked like he was going to kill someone, and when he mentioned this trembling eunuch, his eyes were red: "Say, tell me, what's going on, what's going on......"

The eunuch shook like chaff and explained.

Just after the prince finished watching the artillery, he played with a few eunuchs.

A few of them didn't dare to disobey, but who would have thought that in the blink of an eye, the prince stood on top of a covered dry well, and somehow, he stepped on the air, and his head rushed down and opened down.

The eunuch's voice trembled, and his hands trembled.

As he spoke, he shouted to the well, "Six catties? ”

Everyone gasped.

Zhu Qizhen kicked away the surrounding people, lay directly at the mouth of the well, and slowly probed inside.

The underground was dark, and it was pitch black in sight, and the cry could be faintly heard.

Zhu Qizhen blinked his eyes and looked at the others with hideous eyes, "What are you still doing in a daze, saving people." ”

The person next to him hurriedly followed the rope into the well, "Prince, are you holding the rope?" ”

Others, regardless of the three-seven-twenty-one, picked up a hammer and dug it along the perimeter of the well.

The officials on the side were also crazy, and they couldn't wait to do it themselves.

You know, this is the prince, the prince, the country, the prince, the prince, and there must be no mistakes.

At this time, a thin little eunuch suddenly said loudly, as if after a long ideological struggle, "Your Majesty, let the slave and maid go down, the slave and maid will definitely bring His Royal Highness the Crown Prince up." ”

Everyone was shocked, and Zhu Qizhen looked at him suspiciously: "You? ”

"Yes, this hole is too small, the slave and maid are thin, let the slave and maid rush down a little bit and put it in, tie a rope around the waist, poke in a little bit, and pull the prince out!"

Zhu Qizhen was silent for a moment, "Okay, rescue the prince, I remember your great achievements, what is your name." ”

"Slave Si'en."

Zhu Qizhen knew that there was not much time left for him, although it was a dry well, but Zhu Jianshen was too young, and if he stayed in the well for a little longer, there would be more danger.

Si En was tied to death by a rope, and he felt that his body fell, and the whole person was put down, and then the rope was also entangled in his legs.

"Put, put ......"

Zhu Qizhen personally commanded at the wellhead, and Zhang Fu simply lay at the wellhead and watched.

Si En was held down by the head of the people, and then aimed at the wellhead and slowly put it down.

Si En's head rushed down, and after a while, the blood rushed to the Tianling Gai, and the whole person's brain was buzzing.
