However, just as Zhu Yuanzhang was pondering, Hu Changan stood up: "Your Majesty, there is a way to create a strong embankment in a short time. ”

"Oh, really?" When Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, he also asked with interest.

Before, Hu Changan had already brought him too many surprises.

So subconsciously, Zhu Yuanzhang felt that this method was feasible.

When Hu Changan heard this, he also smiled slightly, and said to Zhu Yuanzhang: "Tomorrow, the minister can dedicate this thing to Your Majesty." ”

When Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, he also smiled and said loudly: "Since this is the case, then tomorrow I will have to take a good look at your craftsmanship." ”

After hearing this, Hu Changan also arched his hand and said, "Okay, Your Majesty." ”

After the small court meeting, Hu Changan hurriedly came to the porcelain workshop of the Ministry of Industry.

When the craftsmen of the porcelain workshop saw Hu Changan, they also saluted.

Looking at the craftsmen, Hu Changan said loudly: "Everyone, I need some ceramic fragments, quicklime and hydrated gypsum. ”

"I'm going to use these things to build the strongest levee ever."

When everyone heard this, they were all stunned.

What is this Hu Shilang talking about?

That's not what the big words say!

With ceramic fragments, how is it possible to build a strong embankment?

You know, ceramics are inherently fragile.

A ceramic jar, casually dropped off the table, will fall apart in an instant.

It is precisely because of this that there are a large number of ceramic fragments in the ceramic workshop.

These ceramic fragments were accidentally broken during processing.

How could such a fragile thing be built into a dam?

An old craftsman couldn't help but retort: "Hu Shilang, I know that you are a master of iron smelting. ”

"But are you sure you know about this pottery?"

"The fragility of pottery is obvious to all."

"If you're not careful, the pottery will be broken to pieces."

"How can such a fragile thing be built into a dam?"

However, when Hu Changan heard this, he didn't care: "This uncle, I know your worries. ”

"But what I make is not ordinary ceramics."

"The things I make, although they are born from ceramics, are fundamentally different from ceramics."

"Rest assured, this thing will be countless times stronger than ceramic!"

The craftsmen looked at Hu Changan's firm eyes and sighed.

Hey, this is a young man, don't hit the south wall and don't look back.

I'm afraid that when things are made, this Hu Changan will have to learn a lesson!

However, no objections were raised.

After all, no matter what Hu Changan says, he is also a waiter in the Ministry of Works, and the second-in-command of the Ministry of Works.

This little thing, the craftsmen naturally can't go too against Hu Changan.

So after a while, the ceramic fragments that Hu Changan needed, quicklime and hydrated lime, were all transported.

These craftsmen are also very generous.

All the pieces that were not used in the ceramic workshop were collected by everyone.

From afar, the ceramic fragments are piled up like a small mountain.

Looking at so many rich raw materials, Hu Changan also ordered everyone with satisfaction: "Next, please grind all these things into powder, and then mix them according to the ratio of three parts ceramic fragments, one part quicklime, and one part hydrated lime." ”

"When the mixing is complete, just add some water to the mixed powder and stir it well, and then let it stand in the mold for two hours."

When all the craftsmen heard this, they also nodded one after another, and directly began to get busy.

Seeing this, Hu Changan also left the ceramic workshop of the Ministry of Industry with satisfaction.

Hu Changan still knows the professionalism of the craftsmen of the Ministry of Industry.

Wait until tomorrow, Hu Changan will be able to harvest.

......

As soon as the next morning came, Hu Changan couldn't wait to come to the workshop of the Ministry of Industry.

Carefully opening the mold, Hu Changan looked at the pale gray bricks in the mold and smiled with satisfaction.

Great, now it's time to make a difference!

Without too much hesitation, Hu Changan directly carried the pale gray brick and walked towards the Forbidden City.

This afternoon, Zhu Yuanzhang held a small court meeting as usual.

After Zhu Yuanzhang announced the start of the small court meeting, Hu Changan hurriedly got up and said loudly: "Your Majesty, what the minister wanted to do yesterday has been done." ”

"It's called cement, and it's very strong."

"Whether it's smashed with a hammer or flooded with fire, it can't be damaged in the slightest."

"The embankment made of cement is very strong."

"No matter how big the flood is, this levee can be prevented!"

When everyone heard this, their eyes were all on the cement at Hu Changan's feet.

When Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, he also said with great interest: "Hu Aiqing, you said that this cement, whether it is smashed with a hammer or flooded with fire, cannot be damaged?" ”

Zhu Yuanzhang was curious.

He just heard him right.

How can there be such a magical material in the world?

Although the wood is strong, it is resistant to fire.

Although the blue bricks and stones are not afraid of fire, they are afraid of hammers.

How can this cement be able to gather the strengths of all families?

When Hu Changan heard this, he also gave Zhu Yuanzhang's affirmative answer: "Your Majesty, this thing is indeed not afraid of being smashed by a hammer, nor is it afraid of fire and flooding." ”

Li Shanchang, who was on the side, heard this, and hurriedly jumped out: "Hu Aiqing, this is above the solemn court, you can't talk big." ”

"Since you're talking so much, how about we try it on the spot?"

Li Shanchang didn't believe that the cement that Hu Changan took out could be so powerful.

Li Shanchang has lived for so long, and he has never heard of such a miraculous material.

Therefore, Li Shanchang concluded that Hu Changan, this kid, was bluffing.

As long as you try it on the spot, you can expose Hu Changan's lies!

Unexpectedly, Hu Changan heard this, but he was extremely calm: "Since this is the case, let's try it according to the meaning of Han Gong." ”

"Anyway, no matter how you try it, my cement will not be damaged in the slightest."

When Li Shanchang heard this, he also smiled.

Young people, you just don't hit the south wall and don't look back.

He wanted Hu Changan to take a good look at why the flowers were so red!

Since Hu Changan's words have come to this, Zhu Yuanzhang, who is on the high platform, also allowed Li Shanchang's temptation from the beginning.

Zhu Yuanzhang also wanted to see if this cement was really as magical as Hu Changan said.

Soon, three strong men stepped into the main hall.

One of them held a burning torch in his hand, another in his hand a large water tank, and the last one in his hand a large hammer.

The three strong men came to the center of the hall and stood still, first made a big salute to Zhu Yuanzhang, and then began to attack the cement.

The first brawny man cautiously held the torch and slowly approached the concrete.

In, in......

Finally, the burning flames licked the innocent cement.
