Chapter 546: Bricks

In the long run, Goryeo's comprehensive promotion of the Great Wei banknotes will sooner or later be controlled by the Great Wei to control the economic lifeline.

Although I am not sure what will happen in the future, it will definitely not be a good thing, otherwise His Majesty Great Wei would not have come to Goryeo in person, just to build a money village, hehe, it is impossible to think about it with your toes!

"Let's do it first." The queen's voice was ethereal, and she didn't notice the drastic change in the face of the emperor on the side.

However, he quickly came back to his senses.

Goryeo is no longer in charge of his affairs, it is his daughter, and his daughter is the queen.

After thinking about it, he sighed, and didn't say anything, but the person instantly aged several years old, and the fire could only be held in his heart.

Two days later, 50,000 artillery wagons were transported to Goryeo, where they were personally transported to the palace by the elite Goryeo troops.

According to the instructions left by Li Xingchen, the queen and the emperor watched the operation with their own eyes, of course, just in case, the operator was a death row prisoner pulled from death row, and it didn't hurt if something happened.

The two were shocked when they saw that the artillery truck had blasted out a distance of four or five hundred meters with one shot, leaving a large crater in front of them.

No wonder the artillery carriage could become the most powerful weapon, and the huge pit that was bombed out and the extent of the damage to the buildings within a radius of 100 meters made me tremble.

At the same time, a wave of excitement filled the hearts of the father and daughter.

This cannon means that Goryeo is about to rise.

A few days later.

Li Xingchen returned to the capital and dealt with government affairs in the imperial study.

The dean of the technical college sent someone to send a message to him, saying that he had something very important to come over.

Li Xingchen was suspicious, put down the twist and go to the technical college.

"Your Majesty, I have inadvertently invented a solid thing, look at it."

The old dean was on crutches, his cloudy eyes were shining, and he held a large brick in his empty hand.

This brick is very large, more than five times larger than the red bricks of later generations, Li Xingchen hurriedly greeted it, for fear that his old arms and legs would be accidentally crushed by the bricks.

After taking the things, he found that it was very heavy.

"What is this?"

"It is sturdy enough to be used to build houses instead of the thatched huts of the common people, so that the people do not have to worry about the wind and rain."

Li Xingchen's eyes suddenly lit up, and he looked carefully at the big brick in his hand, and found that this was indeed very similar to the bricks of later generations.

However, there is no such term as brick in the current era, so the old dean does not know what it is called, but he can associate it with the wisdom of his eyes and apply it to building houses.

Li Xingchen said: "This is called a brick." ”

The old dean was surprised, and quickly smiled, being able to be given a name by His Majesty himself, proving that his vision was not wrong, this is indeed a good thing, and it will be of great use.

Thinking of the improved version of the textile machine, the old dean became more and more happy, after all, the professor who proposed the improvement was also able to develop it successfully through his suggestions.

Even he thought about what he would look like in the future.

"Okay, thank Your Majesty for the name, and it will be called a brick in the future."

Li Xingchen looked at it carefully, put the brick on the ground, and patted the dust on his hands.

"You take the other professors, summarize the plan for making bricks, reduce the volume by two-thirds, and show it to me when it's done."

If the bricks can be successfully developed, the quality of the houses built in the future will be greatly improved.

There is no longer a need for houses to rot and collapse due to wind, sun and rain.

Now the people of Dawei who are a little richer, the houses are made of wood.

Of course, there are also poor ones made of clay and straw, and no matter which one is used, it cannot be used for a long time, and it is even damaged within two years of construction.

When people are not there, they will collapse, and the most feared thing is that people are still sleeping in it in the middle of the night, and the wind will blow and collapse directly, pressing on people, bringing damage to lives.

Nowadays, the appearance of bricks will bring a big reform to the house, and in winter it will not be windy everywhere, and people will live in warm and strong houses.

At the same time, because of the bricks, Li Xingchen thought of other ideas, a big idea.

"The old minister obeys." The old dean was very excited, and felt more and more that bricks were extraordinary items, and it would not be long before he could glorify his ancestors.

Thinking that he is eighty-nine this year, he has never made any achievements, has no reputation, and he will not be blind to death.

After gaining fame and fortune, he retired and replaced someone else as the dean.

The next day.

The plan for the production of bricks is presented in the Imperial Study, and there are also samples.

Li Xingchen looked at it, and the quality was very good.

Bricks are a very important thing in later generations, and Li Xingchen came through and has a soft spot for bricks.

When he was a child, he had seen houses built in his rural hometown, and he knew what kind of quality was good.

He picked up two of them and knocked them, making a crisp sound, such a brick is of good quality.

Putting down the bricks, he looked at the production plan again, and it was not bad.

The most important thing to do now is to build a factory for mass production.

Of course, Li Xingchen was a little hesitant at this point, the brick factory would cause pollution to the environment, and it must not be built in the capital, but only in a sparsely populated remote area.

So, he ordered a team to be set up to inspect the location of the factory. Later, he ordered the Ministry of Engineering to plan a brick-burning factory.

Immediately afterward, the first brick-burning factory of the Great Wei Dynasty was built in a very fast time.

The success of the brick factory is only the first step, and the second step requires recruitment.

As soon as the job posting was issued, a large number of people came to apply.

Because the wages here are three times higher than in ordinary places, but working here makes it mandatory for people to buy social security, otherwise they will not be recruited.

This is another wave of good strategies to promote social security.

On the first day of its establishment, Li Xingchen personally attended the opening ceremony and determined that the special session would officially start.

With the rumble of the salute, Li Xingchen symbolically said two words, and the workers began to work.

Thick black smoke rose billowing up, the brick factory was officially put into use, and batches of bricks were also manufactured.

Environmental pollution is still a bit worrying to Li Xingchen, but fortunately, there is no large-scale industrial development, and the environment is generally fine.

You must know that in the mountains and forests, so many trees will purify the air.

With the production of bricks, Li Xingchen's idea some time ago was also put on the agenda, to plan the house!

To put it bluntly, it is a community that imitates later generations!

This is of great significance, it is convenient for the people to live, the court can better manage the people, and can integrate resources to open schools and hospitals around the community to facilitate the lives of the people.

This is a very good idea, and it can also increase the development of the capital.

So he gathered a group of ministers and began to deliberate.

"I plan to use the capital as a pilot to build a number of high-rise buildings, and the materials are bricks, which have strong windproofness."
