Seeing Xia Yuan and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince coming, the crowd gathered here was excited, but when they saw the two of them standing in place again, they were stunned and stunned.

What does this do?

Are they going to let this gang of troublemakers go?

Xia Yuan and Zhu Houzhao were even more confused, there are so many troublemakers, there are so many reactionaries in the world, why is this troublemaker the emperor?

The air was silent for a long time, Xia Yuan seemed to come back to his senses, and shouted loudly: "What is making trouble, this is my family's generation, there is a misunderstanding, they all go back to work, they all go back, scattered, scattered, all scattered!" ”

Hearing this, the crowd didn't believe it or not, but they didn't stay any longer, and they scattered in a hurry.

Xia Yuan walked over with a bowl in his hand and scolded at the men at the door, "Have you seen this master?" This is my uncle, you even dare to stop him, what a big dog! ”

The few men guarding the door were at a loss when they heard this, and hurriedly said, "Master, we are here, we are here"

"All this and this, get out of here and smash stones, and deduct your wages for a day! Get out, the unsightly goods, get out! ”

Hearing this, several people were busy rolling out as if they had been amnesty.

When the people around him were almost scattered, Xia Yuan asked, "Your Majesty, why are you here?" ”

"Can't I come?"

"I can come, I can come."

Emperor Hongzhi ignored him anymore, but looked at Zhu Houzhao and asked with a calm face: "Prince, which dog are you shouting about teaching a lesson?" ”

“.”

Hearing this, Zhu Houzhao's face suddenly became mournful, and he walked over with a bowl in his hand, "Father, the son is wrong." ”

"Hmph"

Zhu Youzhu snorted, he didn't want to worry about him, he looked at the bowl he was holding in his hand again, and then looked at the bowl in Xia Yuan's hand.

"You two are so busy that you don't even have time to eat, and you still take food with you wherever you go."

"This doesn't save effort, it's convenient to eat while walking."

"Father, have you eaten? Do you want to try it? Zhu Houzhao picked up the bowl and looked flattering.

Emperor Hongzhi wanted to refuse, after all, he had just eaten, but looking at the thick red sauce of the meat, with a different appetite, he still picked up the spoon inserted in the rice with his hand, and then scooped a piece of meat and put it in his mouth, and then his eyes lit up, "What kind of dish is this, it is so delicious?" ”

"Braised beef."

Hearing this, Zhu Youzhu almost spit out the meat in his mouth, "You actually dare to kill cows and eat meat?" ”

Xia Yuan said with a positive face: "Your Majesty, the minister and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince are in trouble. The cow accidentally broke his leg when he was helping to pull the cart a few days ago, and he didn't take care of it when he invited a veterinarian to come, and he couldn't work anymore.

Seeing the cow's painful mooing, His Royal Highness the Minister and the Crown Prince really couldn't bear it, so they had to give it a good time.

A mile of rice is hard to come by, and it cannot be wasted. It's a pity to bury it, it's better to kill and eat meat, God has the virtue of a good life, this cow dies where it deserves, and it will definitely be able to give birth to a good baby in the future. ”

"And we reported to the Daxing County Government and paid the fine, which is in line with the regular process, reasonable and legal."

Zhu Houzhao nodded beside him, "Yes, yes, it's in line with the formal process, reasonable and legal." ”

“.”

Emperor Hongzhi was speechless for a while, and said dryly for a long time: "Since this is the case, then that's it." ”

As he spoke, he couldn't help but think about the beef just now, like all dynasties, the Ming Dynasty also strictly forbade the slaughter of cultivated cattle.

He was born in a noble family, and he has been an emperor for so long, but it is the first time he has eaten beef, but he didn't expect this beef to be so delicious, and the stew is fragrant and rotten.

Xia Yuan had a lot of vision, "Your Majesty, there is still a lot of beef left, why don't you prepare some for you to take back?" The cow has a spirit in the sky, and when he learns that his flesh has entered His Majesty's belly, he must also be extremely relieved and feel that he is blessed. ”

Emperor Hongzhi said righteously: "Am I the one who is poor and luxurious? ”

After that, he paused, "But if you don't eat so much beef in a hurry, it will rot after a long time, which is too pity." I brought some back for the queen to taste. ”

Xia Yuan grinned and said, "Yes, the minister will arrange for someone to go."

"Don't worry, I'm here for this cement this time, take me to see this cement first."

After several days of exploration and experimentation, Xia Yuan has found the correct ratio, and the strength is worse than that of cement in later generations, but in this era, it is possible to have such strength.

Forty-five kilns, the first day before yesterday began to be officially mass-produced, the output is not very much, but some have been laid.

The floors of the sugar mill and the shipyard have been repaired with concrete, and they have just dried last night, flat and smooth, and you can feel the solidity under your feet when you walk on them.

Emperor Hongzhi walked on the blue-gray ground, felt it with his feet, looked around again, and finally squatted down and bent his fingers to knock, and found that it was really hard and abnormal.

At this moment, Zhu Houzhao rushed over with a sledgehammer and beckoned: "Father, get out of the way, be careful of hurting you." ”

When Zhu Youzhu saw the sledgehammer, his pupils shrank, and he hurriedly stood up to dodge, and then saw Zhu Houzhao pick up the sledgehammer and slam it into the ground.

There was a loud bang.

The entire ground was actually intact, but there was a not-so-obvious knock left Xia Yuan closed his eyes, and the pure loser who stepped on the horse was just paved ground.

And Emperor Hongzhi wanted to have a seizure and teach this rebel a lesson, but when he saw the almost intact ground, he couldn't believe it.

This and the mud that comes out can be so hard.

Zhu Hou stood with the hammer on his pestle, "Father, how is it, isn't it very strong?" ”

"What kind of cement is this ground made of?"

Xia Yuan snorted and said, "It's all made of cement, and it's mixed with stones, sand, or concrete." ”

Zhu Houzhao corrected: "What kind of cement, concrete, this name is not heard at all, the palace has said that this is called the Great General Stone." ”

"Your Highness, listen to yourself, is it nice for you to get this name? It still has to be called cement, concrete, and it is easy to remember. ”

Emperor Hongzhi replied on the side: "The name of this cement and concrete is indeed inappropriate, and it cannot show its hardness. ”

Hearing this, Xia Yuan changed his words very seriously: "What Your Majesty said is that the minister has always wanted to change his name, but he didn't think it would be appropriate." ”

Emperor Hongzhi smiled, and he didn't know whether he believed it or not, but said, "Then I will help you get one." ”

"The ground is blue and hard as gold, how about it be called lapis lazuli?"

"Good name! It's called lapis lazuli, Your Majesty is really good, it sounds good and appropriate. ”

Zhu Houzhao bared his teeth at him, this dog thing still has two faces, you didn't say that to Bengong.

Xia Yuan ignored him, you are the crown prince, can you compare with the emperor?

And what kind of general stone you raised is really ugly, which is like this lapis lazuli sounds very valuable, like some kind of valuable gem.

Thinking of this, he was stunned, if he remembered correctly, lapis lazuli seemed to be really the name of some kind of gem.

Whatever, lapis lazuli is good.
