"This is cement?"

Li Shimin looked at the black thing in front of him, and his expression was a little confused.

"Returning to Your Majesty, according to the people of Nawannian County, if you mix this cement with sand and gravel, and water with it, it will become concrete. This concrete is extremely strong, and various facilities in Wannian County are made of this material. ”

The janissary himself was also half-understood, so he could only relay what he heard to Li Er.

"Then you'll give it a try!"

"Yes!" The guards could only bite the bullet and catch the ducks on the shelves.

"Wait!" Li Mengwei, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, stood up again.

"Please Your Majesty give the old minister a chance, the old minister is willing to try this material himself."

"I'm ready!"

Li Erzi would not object, and the janissary was also relieved, and retreated with his fists clenched.

I saw that Li Mengwei stretched out a finger, stuck some cement ash, and then put his finger in his mouth, and smashed it for a while.

"Sure enough, there's still limestone in there."

Li Mengwei frowned, as if he felt that something was wrong, and dipped some cement inlet:

"I see!"

The civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty were very confused, is this cement, similar to glutinous rice mortar, can be tasted?

Thinking of this, Hou Junji immediately became uneasy.

You have to know that you sued Qin Fan this time, isn't it just for this cement?

So he immediately stepped forward and tasted the cement in a similar way.

However, as soon as he entered, Hou Junji's face changed instantly!

"Phew! Bah! This simply can't be eaten! Li Mengwei, you pit Lao Tzu! ”

Then Li Mengwei was already at odds with Hou Junji, and at this time he also showed a sarcastic expression.

"Who told you that this cement is for food?"

Hou Junji's face turned red: "Didn't you eat it first?" I think you deliberately made such an expression in order to deceive and frame me! ”

Li Mengwei seemed to have seen a fool:

"I tasted, I was distinguishing the raw materials of this cement at that time, how did I know that you were so stupid that you really came up to eat it?"

"What kind of delicacy is this? I don't think you should call Hou Junji, call Zhu Junji! Monkeys aren't as stupid as you! ”

Hou Junji, who was already annoyed and angry, immediately rolled up his sleeves and was about to fight with Li Meng.

And the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty also laughed!

"Pig Junji!"

"Hahahaha!!"

"Shouldn't the Luguo Mansion change to raising pigs?"

……

However, after all, it was at the court meeting.

"On the Tai Chi Palace, what kind of noisy and noisy it is! If this spreads, it won't be laughed at by the neighbors! ”

Li Shimin also said these words with a smile.

Without him, after all these years of pampering, Hou Junji's body shape has indeed become more and more similar to a certain animal!

But in any case, the court meeting was going to go on, so he asked:

"Okay, let's talk about it, what have you tasted?"

Li Mengwei, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, clenched his fists:

"Back to Your Majesty, Weichen tasted lime, and there was a smell of mud."

"A smell of mud?" Li Shimin asked rhetorically.

"Yes, it's as fine as the clay used in a kiln! Maybe that's why it's called cement! ”

After speaking, Li Mengwei turned his head and said provocatively: "Lu Guogong, I don't know what you tasted?" ”

Hou Junji was still listening to the secret of the cement, but he was suddenly pushed out by his old opponent.

At this time, when he saw the playful gaze of the Manchu Dynasty Wenwu looking at him, he only felt dizzy.

However, not only the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty, but even His Majesty on the dragon chair also set his eyes on it.

Helpless, Hou Junji could only say nonsense: "The taste of this thing is quite similar to mirage, as for the rest, Weichen can't taste it." ”

"Your Excellency has also tasted mirage?"

Li Mengwei showed a surprised expression.

"It seems that Lu Guogong is really interested!"

It was Wei Zheng, who had always been upright, and he couldn't help but sigh.

"I heard that dolphins also love shellfish, and the mirage seems to be made of shellfish."

I don't know whether it was intentional or not, the eldest grandson Wuji also made up for it just right.

Hou Junji's face turned blue and white for a while, and he glared at Changsun Wuji angrily.

But the eldest grandson Wuji put on an innocent look, as if to say: Don't look at me like this, the old man is just popularizing science!

Anyway, he lost face at this meeting.

If you don't say it well, you will be called stupid as a pig and pica.

Li Shimin was happy to see Hou Junji deflated, but the case had not been sorted out, so he asked the Ministry of Industry again.

"Aiqing thinks this cement, how effective is it? Is it really as wonderful as the auxiliary machine said? ”

Li Meng reluctantly withdrew his gaze from Hou Junji's embarrassed face, and he was still a little unsatisfied.

"Your Majesty, Weichen doesn't know! How effective this cement is, you have to try it to know. However, its cost is not much different from what the Prime Minister said! Indeed, it is only a tenth of the mirage. ”

"Then try it!" After listening to the words of the Ministry of Industry, Li Shimin also nodded slightly.

So, Li Mengwei and the cement.

Not to mention, although the Praetorian guard did not bring a mixed ratio of various materials, Li Mengwei was not in vain.

After several debuggings, a cement slurry with just the right viscosity was produced.

Li Shimin waved his hand, and a eunuch brought a stone slab and some pebbles on the side.

Li Meng understood and put the pebbles on the stone slab with cement.

"I heard that this cement can be dried overnight, and after drying, it is no less hard than a stone!"

The eldest grandson Wuji said this.

"Good! Then wait all night and go to court tomorrow! I will work with you to verify the effect of this cement! ”

"Let's see if it's true, that Qin Fan fishes and eats the people, and cares about people's lives."

"It's still the Lu clan who falsely accused the loyal minister!"

Immediately, Li Shimin ordered to retreat from the dynasty.

The efficacy of cement will not be verified until tomorrow.

But whether that rumor is true or not does not need to wait until tomorrow to know.

Li Er first summoned the guards who went to Wannian County to get cement to inquire about the situation.

But the guards were only concerned with getting cement, but they didn't ask about the case.

So, he could only tell the truth: "Along the way, I haven't heard any news of the collapse of the house and the death of people. But those people praised the county order of Wannian County. ”

Li Shimin nodded, "I know, let's go down!" ”

"Yes!"

When the guards retreated, Li Shimin immediately summoned his henchmen to escort him.

"Du Junxuan!"

"The minister is here!"

"I order you to rush to Wannian County and secretly investigate the circumstances of this case."

"At the same time, you send some people to quietly follow the Duke of Lu and the county order of Nawannian, when this case is concluded, I want to know what they have done!"

"Command!"

Du Junqiu quietly left the palace.

At the same time, a group of highly skilled guards came out of the palace and went to the Luguo Mansion and the county government of Wannian County.
