Zhu Yunxi had just returned to the Qianqing Palace with his front foot, and there was a sound of clanging footsteps behind him.

He didn't have to look back to know that it was Lan Yu who came to settle accounts with him.

Sure enough, Lan Yu grabbed Zhu Yunxi's collar and shouted:

"Little rabbit, are you trying to kill Lao Tzu?"

Liuli on the side was startled when she saw this, and her small mouth opened widely, but she didn't dare to make any sound.

"Uncle, let go!"

Zhu Yunxi shouted, feeling out of breath again.

At this moment, the figure at the door flashed, Wang Jinghong floated in, only to see him stretch out his hand lightly, Lan Yu's arm suddenly went numb, and he unconsciously let go of his hand.

"Wang Jinghong, you have eaten the heart of a bear and a leopard gall, and you dare to do it with Lao Tzu!"

Lan Yu was already angry, and he rolled up his sleeves and prepared to fight Wang Jinghong.

Wang Jinghong smiled again and again: "Cough, how dare the old slave make a move with the general, it's just that the third master's body and bones have not yet grown, and the general's hands are heavy, don't hurt him." ”

Well, it's still the old king's good to me..... Zhu Yunxi stepped forward and grabbed Lan Yu and comforted;

"Uncle, don't worry, how can Yun Xi harm you?"

After saying this, he glanced at Liuli and said, "Why don't you go and pour a cup of tea for my uncle and grandfather?" ”

Liuli hurriedly agreed, and immediately poured a cup of tea for Lan Yu and put it in front of him.

Lan Yu snorted coldly in his nose and picked up the teacup without saying a word.

At that moment, there was another sound of footsteps outside the house.

It's good now, Zhan Hui, Jiang Xuan, and Chang Sheng are all here, and what is even more surprising is that Xu Huizu, the Duke of Wei, is also here.

These people were also shocked by Zhu Yunxi in the early dynasty today, and at this moment, they didn't care whether this was the Qianqing Palace or not, they came directly to Zhu Yunxi and wanted to ask clearly.

Zhu Yunxi looked at Xu Huizu and asked with some puzzlement:

"Uncle, why are you here?"

"Do you think Lao Tzu wants to come?"

Xu Huizu scolded: "You kid is crazy, I have to know why, otherwise I will be annoyed to death by Miaojin when I go back!" ”

It seems that my eldest brother still cares about me...... Zhu Yunxi asked Liuli to pour tea for everyone again, and then said seriously;

"Yun Xi didn't actually go crazy, and he didn't want to use this to sensationalize, let alone harm my uncle and grandfather."

"It's just that the flooding of the Yellow River has really brought too many disasters to the people of the Ming Dynasty, so I just want to do something for them."

"But you have to do what you can!"

Chang Sheng exclaimed, "Do you think that flood control is a simple matter? ”

Jiang Xuan also nodded again and again, and reminded Zhu Yunxi:

"Little Third Master may not know that this flood control is different from fighting, even a figure like General Lan dare not say that it is foolproof."

"What do you mean by not daring to say?"

Lan Yu got angry again and shouted: "Lao Tzu doesn't understand these things at all, this stupid boy can make Lao Tzu miserable!" ”

Xu Huizu waved his hand to stop the roaring blue jade, and said to Zhu Yunxi: "Looking at your appearance, you seem to be very sure?" ”

Zhu Yunxi nodded: "It can't be said to be foolproof, ninety percent sure." ”

Hiss.......

Everyone gasped, looking at Zhu Yunxi's confident appearance, they suddenly felt that Zhu Yunxi was not talking big, but this was really a bit beyond their expectations.

How can this kid manage the floods?

Does he have a unique secret method that we don't know about?

....... Everyone looked at Zhu Yunxi with an inquisitive eye, waiting for his further explanation.

Zhu Yunxi can't sell Guan Zi anymore, otherwise he will really be beaten by Lan Yu, so he smiled and said:

"I found that we use sandbags and haystacks of gravel to build our levees nowadays, which have no strength and cannot withstand the impact of floods, so naturally the levees often collapse."

"Once the dam collapses, it will cause a chain reaction, and the collapse of pieces will not be repaired immediately, which will cause the phenomenon of raging floods and untold suffering for the people."

Zhu Yunxi talked eloquently, and everyone nodded again and again.

"But Little Third Master, you have said so much, what is the secret weapon that makes you so sure, quickly say it and listen to it!"

People like Zhan Hui were anxious and asked loudly.

Zhu Yunxi cleared his throat, and then said:

"I have something that can replace the sandbags, haystacks, etc. that we used to use, and this kind of thing is very strong and durable, so I don't have to worry about being hit and collapsed by floods."

"What's that?"

This time it was Xu Huizu's turn to ask. 、

"Cement!"

Zhu Yunxi said these two words and added:

"This kind of thing can not only solidify in the air, but even in water, it can solidify on its own, and it is very hard, even much stronger than the earth walls we see!"

"Is there any other use for this kind of thing than building a dam?"

Jiang Zhen asked repeatedly, his voice full of excitement.

This guy is definitely starting to think about making money....... Zhu Yunxi was amused in his heart, nodded and said:

"Of course, this thing can be used to build houses, roads and bridges, and once it comes out, it will become an indispensable thing in architecture."

"So godly?"

Jiang Xuan was amazed and asked a topic that everyone was very concerned about:

"Little Third Master, is this thing easy to make? Is it costly? ”

Zhu Yunxi seemed to have known that the other party was going to ask this, shook his head and replied:

"It's very low-cost and easy to make, but if I don't say it, no one else in the world can make it."

For this sentence, everyone did not express any doubts, after all, Zhu Yunxi had already given them too many surprises.

Lan Yu slapped his thigh and exclaimed, "If you say so, wouldn't it be easy to deal with floods and disaster relief?" ”

"Or else?"

Zhu Yunxi asked rhetorically: "Do you really think I'm stupid to find something that can't be done?" ”

Everyone was immediately amused by Zhu Yunxi's words.

It was only at this time that Wang Jinghong spoke: "Little Third Master, does this cement also need to build a factory?" ”

"Do you need to ask?"

Zhu Yunxi said with a smile: "Find a lot of money, let him buy land to expand the factory, in addition to controlling floods, these cements can be sold in the future, whether it is to build bridges, roads or houses, this thing is indispensable." ”

Wang Jinghong nodded again and again, the meaning of Zhu Yunxi's words was obvious, he wanted to make money with this thing.

Jiang Zhen was also smiling and laughing, feeling that there would be surprises at any time with the little third master.

He silently calculated in his heart, the tens of thousands of taels of silver he invested at the beginning had multiplied several times, and if he continued like this, within a few years, he would be among the Yingtianfu Fuao.

The other people present were all old foxes, and they immediately understood the truth when they looked at the expressions of Wang Jinghong and Jiang Xuan.

Zhan Hui whispered: "Little Third Master, does this cement business let Lao Chen also participate?" ”

Zhu Yunxi nodded without hesitation, with the support of the head of the household, it would be much easier to get things done.

In fact, Zhan Hui originally had shares in the coal company, but Zhu Yunxi didn't plan to include all these things in the coal company, he had already asked Qian Duoduo to set up another company, specializing in toilet water, etc., as for this cement, he was still preparing to get a company out, so it was best to separate, he didn't want to put all his eggs in the same basket.

Xu Huizu looked at all this, and suddenly felt a little moved, and after thinking about it, he couldn't help it, the Guogong Mansion was not short of money, and he couldn't make the entire Xu family stand on Zhu Yunxi's side for this little profit.

He came here today, he was really just curious, and now that he knows the answer, it is naturally inconvenient to stay for a long time, so he immediately got up and said goodbye.

Immediately afterwards, Lan Yu and Chang Sheng also left, both of them were scared half to death by Zhu Yunxi today, and they needed time to slow down for a while.

The other people were lively and began to discuss how to make money.

Zhu Yunxi didn't bother to pay attention to these people, picked up a piece of paper, and recalled the cement method in his mind.

In his memory, it was not too difficult to make cement, only limestone, clay and iron ore were needed, and these three things were not difficult to find in today's Ming Dynasty.

The firing conditions can also be fully satisfied, because now the Ming Dynasty has a wooden bellows, under the pull of this bellows, the use of burning coal can reach a temperature of more than 1,500 degrees, this temperature is just right for burning limestone and clay.

As long as the limestone and clay are fired into mature material, then mixed with iron ore powder, and finally mixed evenly, mixed into smaller particles, it is the standard cement of later generations.

Thinking about these things clearly, Zhu Yunxi wrote down three things on the paper: limestone, clay and iron ore powder, and then handed them to Jiang Xuan.

"Find these things first, and then order them all to be ground into powder."

After he finished speaking to Jiang Xuan, he finally stretched his waist for a long time, waved his hand at a few people and said:

"A few people, please come back, sir, I'm really feeling a little tired today."

Jiang Zhen and the others glanced at each other, immediately said goodbye to Zhu Yunxi, and walked out of the Qianqing Palace.

Jiang Xuan looked at Zhan Hui immediately, and then he grabbed Wang Jinghong's sleeve and said:

"Lao Wang, there is something I thought about, but I decided to talk to you."

Looking at Jiang Xuan's serious appearance, Wang Jinghong was a little strange and nodded.

"You said that the third master of the family has made so much money for us, should we do something for him?"

Wang Jinghong nodded again, waiting for Jiang Zheng's next sentence.

"I mean, if the little third master likes Miss Luanyu, you can simply give it to him, don't occupy the pit and don't."

Jiang Zhen said very seriously.

Wang Jinghong didn't speak, but just looked at Jiang Zhen with a very strange look.

"Hey, don't stop talking!"

Jiang Zhen shouted: "Although you and Miss Luanyu are childhood sweethearts, and they have no guesses, after all, time has passed, and what are you ......doing now?"

He stared at Wang Jinghong and asked hesitantly, "You know what I mean, right?" ””

"I understand."

Wang Jinghong said expressionlessly, and with a wave of his hand, he slapped Jiang Xuan, and scolded in his mouth:

"I understand your second uncle!"

Jiang Xuan was stunned, rubbed his head and muttered: "Lao Wang, you will have no friends like this." ”

Wang Jinghong's lungs were about to be blown up, and he pointed at Jiang Zhen and scolded:

"Who told me that he and Luan Yu are childhood sweethearts, and the two have no guesses?"

"Lao Tzu has nothing to do with that old witch!"

Jiang Zhen looked at Wang Jinghong in disbelief, and said aggrievedly for a long time:

"The third master said that he likes Luanyu, but because you and Luan Yu have a leg, I persuaded you."

Wang Jinghong laughed angrily: "Hehe, the little third master said that Luan Yu is my mother, do you dare to believe it?" ”

"Won't it?"

Jiang Xuanhu looked at Wang Jinghong suspiciously: "Could it be that the third master entertained me?" ”

"Mentally retarded!"

Wang Jinghong scolded and ignored Jiang Zhen again.

Jiang Zhen looked at Wang Jinghong's back, stood for a moment, and suddenly slapped his forehead and smiled:

"Haha, I see!"

"The little third master is really a big ghost, he is hinting to me and Lao Wang, help him get Miss Luanyu!"

Thinking of this, he suddenly shouted at Wang Jinghong:

"Hey, Lao Wang, wait for me, there is one more important matter, let's discuss!"

As soon as Wang Jinghong heard this, his body suddenly stiffened, and then he turned into a gust of wind and disappeared without a trace in an instant.

.

The 2,000 Mongolian iron cavalry that Zhu Yunxi asked for from Zhu Quan had been placed in the five military camps in Kyoto, and because they belonged to Zhu Yunxi's personal guard, they were not established in the strict sense.

It's just that Su He, Bagen and other four were given the position of commander by Zhu Yuanzhang under Zhu Yunxi's request.

These people are a little idle now, and they have a good life every day, much more leisurely than in Duoyan Sanwei, and they have hardly touched knives and guns.

This made them a little uncomfortable.

Zhu Yunxi also knew that the knife would rust if it was not sharpened, and he didn't ask for these two thousand iron horses to rush the façade, but it played an extremely important role.

So a few days later, Zhu Yunxi came to the Fifth Military Camp in Kyoto.

In history, the Kyoto Gongwei force of the Ming Dynasty was generally divided into three battalions, namely the five military battalions, the three thousand battalions and the Shenji battalion, the former was created by Zhu Yuanzhang, and the latter two were created after Zhu Di became emperor.

Therefore, at this moment, Ying Tianfu only has five military camps, and there is no famous Shenji camp in later generations.

The purpose of Zhu Yunxi's trip is to create the prototype of the Shenji Battalion, and by the way, to have a detailed understanding of the firearms of the Ming Dynasty.

The five military camps are the middle army, the left sentry, the right sentry, the left sentry and the right sentry, with a large number of people, and it has reached more than 200,000 people in the four years of Hongwu.

This is a regulation established by Zhu Yuanzhang based on the summary of many years of marching and fighting, and it mainly has several advantages and characteristics.

The first is that the first army has changed, and the four armies have a full system, the second is that they are dwarfed by each other, competing for the drums, and the third is that the scores are one, and the ranks are not chaotic.

The establishment of this military system can not only ensure that Kyoto has enough sergeant strength, but also allow these forces to be subject to certain constraints, otherwise once these hundreds of thousands of troops change, it will be a catastrophe for the Ming Dynasty.

Zhu Yunxi came directly to the Chinese military camp, because Su He and the others were all placed here.

At this moment, the four commanders were sitting in the camp drinking boredly, but they saw Zhu Yunxi riding the black chasing wind and galloping towards a few people.

"Little Third Master's riding skills seem to have increased a lot."

Sukh exclaimed.

The other three also nodded, stood up together, and bowed to greet Zhu Yunxi.
