Chapter 195: A bounty of one hundred taels

Before Yuan Yao reached the southern city gate, he was already surprised by the crowd gathered.

Frowning, he hurriedly asked Ji Ling beside him.

"General Ji, this ...... What's going on? ”

Ji Ling smiled awkwardly, so he had to explain to Yuan Yao.

"Childe, here's the thing, the last time Childe made a bet with the craftsmen, it was spread, and in recent days, the entire Shangcai County has been talking about this matter."

"When these people heard about it, they were very interested in it, so they all wanted to come and join in the fun, see if it was true, and be able to repair a section of the city wall in three days."

"If Childe thinks it's inappropriate, I'll have them driven away."

Yuan Yao didn't think about promoting this matter, after all, he had only made cement and hadn't tried it.

If it fails, it will be humiliating.

But now that the matter has been spread, it will not be good for him to hide it anymore.

simply let these people who came to join in the fun be very generous.

Seeing that Ji Ling was about to give the order to drive away, Yuan Yao hurriedly waved his hand.

"No need, let them watch it if they want to, and by the way, you can also help us do a publicity."

Since they are here, it is not good to drive them all away.

Anyway, they are here, let them see the power of cement, and promote one or two for Yuan Yao, so that Yuan Yao can start selling cement and get profits.

As long as these people see the power of cement, everyone will be willing to use cement to build houses, and the sales of cement will not have to worry.

After Yuan Yao's arrival, the crowd of onlookers was also very knowledgeable and quickly got out of the way.

Yuan Yao took his entourage and walked to the bottom of the city tower.

Many craftsmen are eager to try it at this moment, and they all want to see how this repaired city tower is doing now.

Everyone's eyes were staring at Yuan Yao, looking forward to Yuan Yao starting as soon as possible.

Yuan Yao also understood what everyone was waiting here to do, and he didn't say much nonsense.

Get straight to the point.

"Ladies and gentlemen, three days have arrived, and the next step is to show the effectiveness of my cement, but before that, we still have to explain something."

"Although the castle tower has been repaired, how strong it is and whether it is stronger than the previous castle tower is a question of how to judge this standard."

"In order to show that this cement tower is stronger than the previous one, I decided to choose an appraiser and use an iron hammer to smash it on top of the old and new castles."

"Look at the effect of smashing out, so as to judge the quality of the old and new cities, what do you think?"

Since it is a competition, Yuan Yao should always be fairer, he didn't point to the deer as a horse, and insisted that his new city wall was better, and he had to let everyone test it before he could decide.

"Okay, good, Taishou-sama is right!"

"Pick someone to come out and identify, we agree!"

"Just choose Huang Gong, he is the most prestigious among our people, and he is also the oldest to do this, we are all convinced by him to appraise him!"

The onlookers quickly elected an appraiser.

This Huang Gong, Yuan Yao also knows, is the previous leading craftsman, and he is also the most experienced person among these craftsmen.

Yuan Yao naturally would not refuse the ideas put forward by these people, and quickly nodded in agreement.

"Okay, that's what you said. Just choose Huang Gong to identify. ”

The man named Huang Gong originally wanted to excuse himself, but he felt that he didn't have such a big ability, but seeing that the people below agreed with him to appraisal, it was naturally difficult to refuse.

had no choice but to walk up, first saluting Yuan Yao, and then introducing himself.

Yuan Yao nodded, complimented, and then led Huang Gong to everyone.

"Foreman Huang, this is a hammer, you can test it and see if this hammer is a real hammer."

Foreman Huang nodded solemnly, and soon according to Yuan Yao's meaning, he knocked on the ground with a hammer, and the sound of knocking made everyone quickly and clearly hear, this hammer was made of metal.

After striking left and right a few times, after determining the weight and authenticity of the hammer, Foreman Huang raised the hammer in his hand and signaled to everyone.

"No problem, it's a real hammer."

"Okay, since there is no problem with the hammer, then let Foreman Huang take a hard look at the old city wall first, and see what kind of damage this hammer can cause to the old city tower if it is hit hard."

Yuan Yao stretched out his hand and motioned to Foreman Huang to conduct a percussion experiment on an old section of the city tower.

Foreman Huang glanced at everyone, with the expectation of many craftsmen, raised the hammer in his hand, and swung a hammer hard at that piece of the city tower.

Although strength is not his greatest strength, he also has seventy or eighty percent of his strength.

The hammer went down, and with a bang, the hammer slammed heavily on the tower.

There was a dull thud, the dull sound of metal crashing against the soil, followed by a large chunk of adobe smashed away from the tower by the force of a hammer.

Huge amounts of sand and dust, with the blow of the hammer, scattered from the dilapidated tower.

When Foreman Huang lifted the hammer again, a pit had already appeared on the tower of the old city.

This is the consequence of the hammer just now.

Foreman Huang's face was a little unsightly, he had already regained his strength, he didn't expect this old city tower to be so fragile, and it would cause such damage with just one hammer.

If he exerts all his strength, he is afraid that the pit on this part of the city tower will be even bigger.

"This ......"

Foreman Huang was a little embarrassed for a while, and looked at Yuan Yao.

Yuan Yao was not surprised at all, as if he had known that this would be the result.

Although Sanhe soil is cohesive and can act as cement, it is still far from real cement, and its role is only to harden some soil, not really comparable to stones.

In addition, the city tower here in Shangcai County, has been in disrepair for a long time, the last repair does not know how many years ago, even if the new repair of the Sanhe soil is quite solid, but after so many years of wind and sun, there is a certain degree of elegance.

Huang Gongtou's hammer is not an exaggeration.

"It's okay, Foreman Huang, let's try the section of the new city building that I repaired."

Yuan Yao directly asked him to continue the inspection.

At this moment, everyone was nervous for a while.

Many people's hearts have been mentioned in their throats.

Especially Liu Ye, who came to watch it today, was full of curiosity.

Originally, he wasn't very interested in this kind of thing, but in the past few days, he has made great progress in studying repeating repeaters, and soon he will be able to reproduce a repeating repeater, and he is on the rise, listening to Ji Ling talk about this bet.

He was very interested in the cement that his master studied, so he put down the research of the repeater and planned to come over to find out.

Seeing that Foreman Huang was about to smash his hammer on the huge gray-white city tower, these craftsmen all held their breath at this moment.

Bang!

Huang Foreman raised his hammer again and slammed it the new tower.

This time it's louder and crisper.

It was as if the hammer had hit a stone instead of a pile of dirt.

Huang Foreman's hand, as soon as he came into contact with that section of the city tower, suddenly his mouth was numb, and the huge impact force rebounded back through the city tower, making Huang Foreman almost think that he had hit another piece of iron.

Even when the hammer hit, some sparks burst out.

When Foreman Huang picked up the hammer in confusion and looked at the tower, he was dumbfounded.

The castle tower in front of him, not only did there not appear any potholes, but even the dust that fell was not much.

The hammer went up, only on this side of the tower, leaving a shallow white crescent imprint.

Foreman Huang's face was instantly pale, as if he couldn't believe it, and then he raised the hammer again, rushed at the place he had just smashed, and swung several hammers in a row again.

I only heard the sound of ding, and after three or five clicks, Foreman Huang completely believed that what he saw was true.

I was speechless in surprise for a while.

"This ...... This...... How is this possible? ”

Foreman Huang didn't believe it at all, this section of the city tower was the city tower built by Yuan Yao three days ago.

The city tower of this strength, not to mention the destruction by manpower, is bombed with thunderbolts and catapults, and it is not afraid at all.

At this moment, it was not only the yellow foreman who was surprised.

Everyone present was dumbfounded.

They were all stunned, some people felt that this thing was too exaggerated, and they didn't believe it at all, thinking that Foreman Huang didn't use any force just now.

But after Foreman Huang hit one place after another, knocked several times, and still couldn't cause any substantial damage to this section of the tower, even if everyone present didn't believe it, they could only believe it.

Seeing that everyone was dumbfounded, looking like they had never seen the world, Yuan Yao nodded with satisfaction.

This is cement, this is the power of technology.

In the midst of everyone's surprise and shock, Yuan Yao stretched out his hand and pulled everyone who were still in surprise back from their trance.

"Okay, Foreman Huang's inspection, I think everyone has clearly known the results."

"If anyone else is not satisfied, or thinks that I am cheating, they can come up and test it themselves, and if they can smash a hole in this city tower with a hammer, I will reward a hundred taels!"

After winning the bet, if you want this matter to spread, then you have to make a bigger bet and push this matter to a new level.
