In terms of ability, he is better than the other brothers.

"This matter is so decided, okay, it's already noon, my father asked people to pass the meal, let's father and son today...... Eh, wait a minute. ”

Sheng Hong paused, raised his eyebrows and looked at the screen on the side: "Li Aiqing, come here, today is the deadline, do you have any brilliant ideas?" ”

I almost forgot, and Li Qiao.

Since he had instructed Li Aiqing to ponder this matter, he would definitely have to give Li Aiqing a chance to speak at this time.

Several princes present, especially the sixth prince, were a little surprised when they heard Sheng Hong's words, and they still had to ask Li Qiao?

After being surprised, the six princes regained their composure.

He didn't believe that Li Qiao could turn the tables.

In this game, he won the game.

The Seventh Prince sighed slightly in his heart, Li Qiao hadn't revealed anything to him before, which showed that Li Qiao was helpless.

In this game, it was indeed his sixth brother who had already made a splash if he didn't make a sound.

Amusing.

It's a shame that he still wanted to concede a game before.

It's that he can't help himself.

Li Qiao originally thought that the Seven Princes had the advantage today, so he did not reveal the cement to the Seven Princes.

But I never expected that the six princes would bring out a new trade route!

It embarrassed him.

Does he want to take out the cement at this time? If he cuts off his beard at the moment when the six princes are victorious, then the six princes are afraid that they will hate him to death.

was hesitating, but Sheng Hong suddenly called his name.

He was overjoyed in his heart, but his face made a look of wanting to say and stopping, and he came out from behind the screen with his eyes down.

"Holy."

"Do you have any brilliant ideas?" Sheng Hong repeated.

"This ......"

His eyes subconsciously glanced at the six princes, and his face was full of embarrassment.

The sixth prince immediately smiled: "Lord Li, but it doesn't hurt to say, this is a fair competition, since the father asked you, then you must answer truthfully." ”

"That is, since I let you get involved, then you don't have to be afraid of anyone, you just need to complete my explanation. You answer truthfully, otherwise you are a bully. ”

Sheng Hong directly pressed down with a big hat.

He didn't really expect anything from Li Qiao, but he suddenly remembered it, so he asked more.

He was happy in his heart now, he didn't want to see Li Qiao's distraction, he wanted to celebrate with his wonderful sons soon.

But when Li Qiao heard this, his expression turned grim, and he immediately said respectfully: "Shengshang, Wechen actually doesn't know how much this thing is worth, but Wechen does have a new thing, and it is still being tested." ”

"Since you asked, why don't you move to Weichen's house and see for yourself?"

“？”

Sheng Hong was stunned.

He just asked casually, but did Li Aiqing really give him a new object?

The second prince and the fourth prince were also stunned, this Lord Li can also live in this matter?

The sixth prince was surprised, narrowed his eyes, and then laughed: "I don't know what Lord Li has done?" ”

The Seventh Prince couldn't help but widen his eyes, but he didn't speak.

He really didn't know anything about it!

"Back to the Sixth Prince, this object was obtained by the lower officials by accident, and the lower officials have not given it a name so far, but its effect is indeed somewhat magical."

"Xiaguan has been experimenting at home for a month, and now you can go home and pick up this object, but the effect of this object is a little slow, it will take one to two days, if you want to see it sooner, it is better to go to Xiaguan's house."

Li Qian replied unhurriedly.

"Since Lord Li claims that its effect is miraculous, then I must see it."

The sixth prince said and looked at Sheng Hong: "Father, why don't we go to Lord Li's house to have a look?" ”

"Okay."

Sheng Hong is not in a hurry to set up a meal to celebrate.

If you can make Li Aiqing praise a miracle, you have to take a look.

So, Sheng Hong changed his clothes, left the palace in microclothes, and took the second prince, the fourth prince, the sixth prince, and the seventh prince to Li Qiao's house.

Li Qiao's house was near the palace, and the group arrived soon.

Li Qiao ordered someone to open the main gate, and respectfully led the Sheng family's father and son to the West Second Cross Courtyard.

There are two cross-courtyards on the west side, and at present, their family lives in the first cross-courtyard next to the main courtyard, and the second cross-courtyard is used to enjoy the scenery, raise chickens, raise geese, and grow vegetables and flowers.

"Shengshang, Wechen accidentally found this thing when he was playing with his nephew and son, and Wechen was not playing with ordinary mud, but adding grass ash and water to live into mud."

"Once the grass ash was not enough, Wechen casually burned a pile in the yard, and there happened to be a little duck made of grass and wood plaster, which fell into the fire, and when the fire was extinguished, the duckling was still in its original state, and Wechen's nephew put the duckling into a wooden basin to let it swim, and the duckling was broken into grass ash again."

"Weichen didn't take it seriously, and poured these plants and trees into the vegetable patch casually, but when he went to see it again two days later, the piece of land became extremely hard."

Weichen was very surprised, and quickly recalled the previous details, and after repeated experiments, he finally made this object.

With Li Qiao's long list of convincing explanations, the group came to the vegetable field of the West Second Cross Courtyard.

This is a newly cultivated vegetable field from Taozhu, and after a month, small shoots have emerged from the vegetables.

In this vegetable patch, there is a noticeable gray and hard-looking but flat ground, which does not match the surrounding brown soil.

"There is also this kind of ground in the chicken coop and goose pen next to it, and after Weichen made this object, he paved a layer on the ground of the chicken coop and goose pen, so that it is convenient to clean the chicken coop and goose pen."

Li Qiao pointed to the chicken coop and goose pen next to the vegetable field.

Before Sheng Hong and his party came here, Li Qiao had already ordered someone to quickly clean the chicken coop and goose pen.

But even then, the livestock themselves carry an unpleasant odor.

Sheng Hong sniffed the smell of domestic animals in the air, and couldn't help twitching the corners of his mouth.

Li Aiqing really does not forget her roots, she has three official residences, and she still grows vegetables and raises livestock.

Such a good house, the begonia flowers not far away are blooming, and the red flowers are matched with emerald green branches and leaves, which are bright and eye-catching.

Behind the begonia flowers is a small stone arch bridge, under which the water is gurgling, and lush greenery grows on the side of the bridge.

The white wall and tiles are just behind the green plants, although I didn't go to Jiangnan, but in this courtyard, it is like going to Jiangnan.

But when he looked at it, there was a simple vegetable patch under his feet, and there were chicken coops and goose pens next to him.

He, Li Aiqing, is really ......

Of course, the renovation of the house is not the point.

Sheng Hong just complained slightly in his heart, and then walked to the gray and flat ground in the vegetable field.

Several princes followed.

Stepping on the gray ground, Sheng Hong raised his foot and stomped on it, the gray ground did not move at all, and then Li Qiao handed over a scooter used by Li Xiaorui in a timely manner.

"Holy Lord, you can use this little car to try its flatness."

Sheng Hong glanced at the scooter in Li Qiao's hand, took it and put it on the gray ground.

The gray ground is about three square meters, and Sheng Hong pushed the cart around it with one hand, and then his eyes lit up.

This kind of silkiness is a match for the tightly paved bluestone slab floor in the palace.

But the bluestone floor, which has no sense of bumps, was painstakingly paved by craftsmen.

But now the gray ground under your feet is paved with grass and wood ash?

Several princes were also amazed, this kind of gray ground is indeed unusual.

The Seven Princes even stood in the chicken coop and goose pen and carefully checked the situation on the ground.

This chicken coop and goose pen covers a wide area, about 100 square meters, and the ground is gray, flat, and wet.

Obviously, this is the Li family's people who have just washed it with water.

"Won't this crack when it comes to water?" The Seventh Prince turned his head to look at Li Qiao.

"No, the reason why the lower officials haven't mentioned this thing to the saint for a long time is that they have been using this thing for water experiments again."

"Xiaguan poured water on it every day, and made bricks and threw them into the pond to soak for a long time."

"Xia Guan has done experiments repeatedly, many times, and a lot of them, and for now, there is no problem at all in pouring water on it every day. If you soak it in water all the time, it will not be a problem to soak it for three to five days. ”

Li Qian explained.

To build roads, of course, roads must withstand wind and rain, so in addition to "groping" for the correct way to cement during this time, he has also been experimenting with water.

This kind of cement made of grass and wood ash is quite strong, and it is enough to build roads and houses.

The weight of Li Qiao's words was extremely heavy, and after his words fell, the Seventh Prince's face suddenly flashed with joy.

Sheng Hong is the same.

The adobe brick road is indeed very flat compared to the dirt road, but the gap between the bricks on the adobe brick road is too large, and the carriage still has a bumpy feeling when walking on it.

Moreover, over time, adobe bricks will be eroded by wind and rain in potholes.

The houses made of adobe bricks have been pitted at the base of the walls for a long time.

But this gray ground does not seem to have such defects. However, even if it will be eroded by wind and rain, it will definitely last longer than the adobe brick road.

The second prince and the fourth prince were just like just now, their eyes turned around on the sixth prince and Li Qiao, and their eyes were full of anticipation to see the excitement.

Good guy, I thought the dust had settled, but who knew that a Li Qiao would be killed halfway!

The new gadgets that Li Qiao made are not at all inferior to the new trade route of the Six Princes!

Who doesn't like to watch this kind of reversal?
