But the sixth prince was still smiling at this time, and asked in a calm tone: "Lord Li, you just made this new object into bricks and soaked them in water, so are there gray bricks soaked in water now?" ”

"Yes, you come here, in the water tank, in the pond, the lower officials let people soak a lot." Li Qiao immediately pointed to the water tank used to water vegetables next to the vegetable field, and there were several cement bricks soaked in the water tank at this time.

In order not to arouse suspicion, he arranged a logical birth process for cement, which no one can pick out, and for the sake of rigor, he has recently let people do experiments every day.

Even if the Fifth Prince, Lu Wenrong, the Third Prince and others who hated him to the core, came together, they couldn't find fault with it.

The Sixth Prince walked towards the water tank.

The water in the tank is clear and bright, and you can see a few gray bricks at the bottom of the tank at a glance.

Li Qiao ordered Li Gun to fish up the cement bricks at the bottom of the cylinder, which were soaked in the day before yesterday, still hard and hard, without any signs of cracking.

The sixth prince knocked his fingers on the wet cement brick twice, and then looked at Li Qiao, who could still maintain a smiling face.

"Lord Li, is this kind of object easy to make? Is it costly? What are the obvious advantages over adobe bricks? ”

"As it stands, it's a really good thing. But you have to look at it comprehensively, evaluate it comprehensively, don't you say? ”

"You're right!"

Li Qian replied without hesitation: "This object is quite easy to make, although it needs to be burned by a large fire, but compared with the real bricks, the process is much simpler." As for the cost, the raw materials only need to use plant ash, which is not a high cost. ”

"As for the obvious advantage, the first is flat."

He said and pointed to Sheng Hong, who was still pushing the scooter around the concrete floor.

Both green brick and adobe brick paving will leave gaps, and scooters walking on them actually have a bumpy feeling.

But concrete floors don't have this problem.

The six princes also looked at Sheng Hong.

But he was silent.

As long as he is not blind, he can see how silky the scooter is on the gray ground, and he can't refute this advantage.

Sheng Hong grabbed the small children's scooter and didn't speak, but obviously he was also listening to Li Qiao's words.

As for the second prince, the fourth prince, and the seventh prince, they all listened carefully.

Especially the Seventh Prince, there was already a bright light in his eyes, and the bitterness of seeking the hall of merit was swept away.

Li Qiao's words continued: "Absolute flatness, which can't be done by adobe bricks and green bricks, so Xia Guan feels that this new object should have business opportunities." If it is advertised, there will definitely be people who will be willing to buy it. ”

"For example, some large families, they must be willing to buy back to mop the yard, so that they can happily play with sliding slides and baby walkers."

In this era of material scarcity, scooters are still very popular and have not been rejected by Shengjing people.

The cost of the silky and non-bumpy bluestone pavement is very high, but if the road is built with cement, the price will be much lower.

"In addition, these days, the subordinate officials have not only wiped the ground with this object, but also wiped the walls, and all the places that have been smeared have added a hard protection."

"When ordinary people build houses, they can buy some back to strengthen their houses."

Li Qiao said and pointed to the walls of the chicken coop and goose pen, which were the walls of the new base, with a layer of cement between the bricks and a layer of cement on the outside.

The Seventh Prince stood beside the chicken coop and the goose pen, and he had already discovered the different walls of the ash flutter.

At this time, when he heard Li Qiao mention it, he raised his foot and kicked it twice.

It's sturdy.

"There is also the waterproof and water resistance mentioned by Xia Guan just now, which is also not available in adobe bricks."

"This new object, whether it is a large family or an ordinary family, can be used, if it can be manufactured in large quantities, it will definitely make a lot of money."

Whether it was the eldest prince or the sixth prince, the idea of both of them was to spend money to buy adobe bricks.

But cement is a money to be earned.

This is the fundamental difference between the two.

This is also the advantage of cement.

Of course, taking care of the face of the six princes and the seventh prince, Li Qiao did not say this explicitly,

But no one here is a fool.

A smile instantly appeared on the handsome face of the Seventh Prince: "This new object is indeed worthy of the word magic." ”

Peak loop turn!

This new object is definitely better than his sixth brother's new trade route.

"No, it's too versatile, it can build houses, it can build roads. Dasheng can not trade with the surrounding small countries, but it cannot but build houses and roads. ”

The tone of the fourth prince was already filled with admiration.

In fact, he really wanted to say that Li Qiao had taken shit luck, and such a complicated process was inadvertently created by Li Qiao.

However, luck is also part of strength, Li Qiao can be lucky again and again, and he is really convinced at this time.

If Li Qiao was suspected of opportunism in the past, but this new object, everyone has to be convinced!

"Yes, the advantage is too great, this can make money, but adobe bricks can't make money, you can only spend money."

The second prince also sighed.

The Sixth Prince: "......"

He looked at Li Qiao, and the smile on his face couldn't be maintained.

But his face was not ugly, he just looked at Li Qiao silently, his eyes were complicated.

The Decree of Appreciation will soon come into his hands.

He was only one step away from appreciating the holy decree, but he was overturned by Li Qiao.

Exhaled softly, the corners of his mouth raised a small arc: "Lord Li, if my father hadn't asked you, would you have taken out this new object today?" ”

Chapter 181: Li Qiao took the Divine Decree of Appreciation and asked Tao Zhu for an errand

The sixth prince asked, a little sharp.

But Li Qiao's expression was straight, and he replied without hesitation: "If you go back to the six princes, even if the saint doesn't name the lower official, the lower official still has to say it." ”

"The reason why I didn't mention it to the Holy Lord before was because Xia Guan's test had not been completed yet, and there were still a few days before the deadline given by the Holy Lord, so Xia Guan originally planned to speak to the Holy Lord on the last day."

"In any case, the lower officials will definitely present this new object to the Holy One, although the study of this new object is not thorough enough, but at present, in the area of paving roads and building houses, this new object is no worse than adobe bricks."

"That being the case, for the sake of Dasheng and the people, Xia Guan must be saying it today."

In fact, he was hesitant at the time.

But of course I can't admit it at this time.

And, weighing the pros and cons, he had to stand up and tell Sheng Hong about cement today.

If Sheng Hong set up a banquet to celebrate, the courtiers unanimously passed, and the holy decree fell into the hands of the six princes, and then he moved out of the cement, then the six princes were disgraced, and they were afraid that they wanted to crush him to ashes.

Therefore, he is not lying.

Li Qiao's righteous and awe-inspiring words made the smile on the corner of the sixth prince's mouth spread to his entire face: "Lord Li, if you say so, aren't you competing with me on behalf of the seventh brother in this game?" ”

"You are really elevating the lower official when you say this, the saint is going to choose the prince, and the lower official's surname is Li, where is the qualification to compete with you?"

"The lower officials are doing things for the saints, and they eat the king's luck, so they naturally have to be loyal to the king."

Li Qiao still has a straight face.

Although he very much wanted the Seventh Prince to ascend the throne, he was only loyal to Sheng Hong when Sheng Hong was around.

"Then you're not actually the seventh brother's person?" The smile of the six princes deepened, and it was another question that hit the soul.

"Xiaguan is closer to the Seven Princes, this is because the Seven Princes have helped Xiaguan many times, the Holy Lord once said that gratitude is the greatest virtue, Xiaguan is not an ungrateful person, and there are naturally more contacts with the Seven Princes."

"But this doesn't mean that the lower officials are the people of the Seventh Prince, the Seventh Princes never engage in gangs, and the lower officials are only holy courtiers, and the lower officials will not stand in line with any prince."

Li Qiao is righteous and stern.

"Good."

After hearing this, the sixth prince stretched out his thumb to Li Qiao, and then looked at Sheng Hong, who was still playing with the scooter.

"Father, this game is won by Lord Li, but Lord Li is not the seventh brother's person, so the praise of the holy decree can not be given to the seventh brother."

"Do you want to give it to Lord Li?"

The fourth prince couldn't help but ask.

"Of course, I want to give it to Lord Li, although Lord Li is not a prince, according to the rules, he deserves this holy decree of appreciation."

The Seventh Prince immediately said.

Li Qiao: "......"

His eyes widened instantly.

Yes?

He's not a prince.

Everyone's eyes were on Sheng Hong.

Sheng Hong, who had been silent for a long time, finally let go of the children's scooter in his hand, he put his hands behind his back, raised his foot and stepped heavily on the cement floor twice, and then looked at the sixth prince.

"Xu'er, do you think Li Aiqing won this game?"

"Naturally. In terms of road construction, this new object is stronger than adobe bricks. As the second brother said, this new object can make money, but adobe bricks can only cost money. ”

"In this game, there is no doubt that Lord Li will win."

The six princes frankly admitted.

When Sheng Hong heard this, a smile appeared on his face, yes, his six sons also have the heart to maintain their bearing even if they lose.

"Since you say so, then the first word of appreciation for the holy decree will be given to Li Aiqing."

"Although he is a courtier, he has performed well, and he deserves such a holy decree."

Li Qiao: "? ”
