While! The sledgehammer bounced high, causing an exclamation! Hua Houwei beckoned proudly: "Stop first and water!" ”

A scoop of clear water was sprinkled on the cement block, and Hongji himself walked over and leaned over and touched it: "Ah! It's really not muddy! ”

Liu Jian also touched it, and his happy beard pouted Lao Gao: "Road!" The road of Daming! ”

Xie Qian groaned for a moment and pointed to the cement block: "Your Highness, what will happen if you soak it for a while?" ”

"Hehe, it's going to get harder and harder! Second Master, this thing is getting harder and harder the more it bubbles, and it will continue to harden after fifty or sixty years! ”

Hongzhi stood up, took the handkerchief and wiped his hands: "Wei'er, how hard is the cement?" ”

"Shanqing, smash it! Leave a large piece of soaked water, and the rest will be smashed into powder! Hua Houwei didn't say the answer, how could he say that his eyes looked intuitive?

Bang! Bang! Zhu Shanqing opened the sledgehammer, and after five or six hammers in a row, the cement was smashed into seven or eight pieces. But if you keep smashing, the cement blocks will be smashed into the mud and will no longer crumble.

"That's it!" Hongji waved his hand, and Zhu Shanqing stopped, his chest rising and falling. "Wei'er, how much does this cement cost?"

"The raw materials are cheap, but the machines are more expensive. Well, a kiln, a pulverizer, a ball mill, a packaging machine, that's pretty much it. Well, a few tens of thousands of taels of silver will come down. ”

"Tens of thousands? No, no, it's too expensive! Liu Jian's head shook like a rattle, and he was very uninterested in Hua Houwei, a profiteer.

Hua Houwei shook his head: "Lord Liu, it's not expensive!" A one-time investment, a lifetime of benefits. Once this thing is in operation, it is a steady stream of cement. A few thousand catties a day, tens of thousands of taels a year to earn back. ”

Everyone returned to the cabinet, and Hongzhi nodded: "Wei'er, this cement is really good, is there anything like it?" ”

"Hehe, the steam engine is even more powerful than this! Oh, and the motor. ”

"Motors?"

"The electricity in thunder and lightning, I'm familiar with that." Nonsense, can you not be familiar? A troublemaker who tinkers with radio when he is a child, a diode, a triode, a pair of headphones, and a wire can successfully listen to Shanxi People's Radio enthusiasts, of course, are familiar with electricity!

Liu Jian was taken aback: "Thunder and lightning? Your Highness, is this too dangerous? ”

"There is a little bit of danger, but if the safety measures keep up, it is nothing."

Hongji nodded: "Industry, industry is really powerful." Not only are there big killers such as soul chasing guns, but also cement, thunder and lightning, alas, it's just too expensive! ”

Hua Houwei smiled slightly: "Dad, are you worried about spending money?" It's a gold-eating monster, but once it's running, it's not just the money you spent. Dad, in addition to making money, industry is also a big killer! ”

"What do you mean?"

"Economic warfare!" Hua Houwei's eyes flashed with confidence, as if he saw Da Ming like a giant beast, opening his bloody mouth and devouring the world!

Li Dongyang's heart moved: "Economic war? Your Highness, are you trying to crush your opponent with low-priced grain, so that the farmer will no longer farm and the woman will no longer weave? ”

"Far more than that! Economic warfare can fundamentally destroy a country, or kidnap it entirely! Master Li, from food, clothing, housing, transportation, birth, old age, sickness and death, all of them are our things, let's say that the price will increase, let's say that if we don't give it, we won't give it, you say, what can the enemy do? Hua Houwei's eyes were deep, thinking of the rogue country that had spanned hundreds of years, and he couldn't help but feel a burst of happiness in his heart. Don't try to control me, I'll take you first!

Li Dongyang shuddered, with such a means, which country would dare to be the enemy of the Ming Dynasty? Then it can really only be the dynasty of all nations! "Your Highness, economic warfare is good, but it's not good to force other countries?"

"Humph! Afraid of what? With the Soul Chaser, no one can only wait for him! Hongji spoke, his eyes looking into the distance. The appearance of Huahou Wei and the emergence of new weapons made Hongzhi ambitious in his heart!

Liu Jian also stood up straight and followed Hongzhi's side: "Your Majesty's ambition, the ministers should follow suit, Daming!" The sun and the moon shine on the world! ”

Xie Qian also stood up: "Your Majesty, the minister is willing to attach the tail of Jiwei to see the Ming Dynasty and all countries come to the court to deter the world!" ”

Li Dongyang laughed and stood behind Hongzhi: "The minister can follow His Majesty to create a foundation for all generations, and he has no regrets in this life!" ”

Hua Houwei raised his right arm and shouted: "Daddy is mighty!" ”

Hongzhi was full of pride, raised his eyes and looked at the north, his heart was surging! Little Prince, my dragon slaying knife has been raised, do you dare to come?

Here it is, Dayan Khan is here! A mysterious army appeared in the Ming Dynasty, only more than 10,000, but it crossed the Kubuqi Han Sea, and the killed Tumut could not parry. Is this worth it? When did the Han people become so powerful again? How did the little prince of Dayan Khan know that his four sons, in order to cover up their incompetence, said that Huahou Wei's 500 people were more than 10,000? Wrong information led to wrong judgment, and in order to interrupt the rise of the Han people, Dayan Khan personally led 150,000 steppe iron horsemen and rushed to Xuanfu!

Hongzhi got the news in the middle of the night, put on his clothes, Hongzhi finished reading the recital, and pondered for a moment: "Spread the decree, summon the elder, the military department Shangshu, and the five military governors Zhang Mao to the Wenhua Palace." Well, the prince and Hou Wei are also here. ”

A group of people gathered together, Zhu Houzhao yawned, and Hua Houwei was also infected. Hongzhi looked at his two sons dissatisfied, and Liu Jian smiled: "Your Majesty, young people feel too much, and they should be sleepy, so they don't have to be demanding." ”

Hua Houwei opened his mouth, tears overflowing: "Dad, what's the big deal at night?" ”

After reading the recital, Zhang Mao frowned and said: "The little prince is detained, there is no year or festival, and it is not the time for autumn grass to grow horses and fatten, so why did you come?" ”

Hua Houwei laughed: "What else?" Isn't it just a soul chaser? ”

Liu Jian nodded: "After suffering such a big loss, the little prince should also come!" Your Majesty, the eight became here. ”

Hongzhi glanced at Hua Houwei and sighed: "It is not easy to manufacture the soul chasing gun, the cost is high, and there is no possibility of becoming an army at present!" ”

Hua Houwei was indignant in his heart, it wasn't for you to obstruct it, how could it cause the current dilemma? But the wood is already in the boat, what else can be done? It's useless to complain, it's better to think of a way: "Dad, or I'll go..."

"Don't even think about it! If you go out once, you will cause so much trouble, and if you go out again, your father will not be able to hold back for you! Hongji glared, still going? This time it's the little prince who deducts the pass, who will be next time?

Hua Houwei could only smile: "That's what I said." That sent Makqin over? ”

Hongji shook his head, how could such a big killer show up so easily? When I think about it, I have seen too many people to hide. I had to snort: "There are only two in total, how effective can it be?" ”

That's right! For 150,000 people, one or two Makqin is better than nothing, and it does not play a key role. Hua Houwei asked tentatively: "Then assemble all the accessories?" Probably thirty or forty? ”
