Chapter 184: Murder and Punishment

"Dang" A crisp sound of gold and iron sounded, a strong force came from the hand, and the long knife bounced directly, Li Shiji gasped, because there was obviously only a white mark in the place where he had cut, and the long knife in his hand, Li Shiji took it and looked at it, the blade was already a little curled, although it was not serious, but it proved that the ground was no worse than the stone.

Li Shiji showed the blade of the long knife to Li Shimin again.

"Come on, come on, experiment with sledgehammers." Li Ke beckoned, and soon someone handed Li Shiji the sledgehammer prepared in advance.

Li Shiji: "......"

However, he still picked up a sledgehammer and smashed it on the concrete floor, and the huge force rebounded and the dull sound sounded, and a white mark still appeared on the ground, but other than that, nothing was left.

"Dad, you see this is the new material researched by my craftsmen, called cement, although the cost is relatively high, but the effect is outstanding, the point is that it solidifies quickly, and the plasticity is strong, and it will almost become like this in about 12 hours. I heard that the prices of bricks, stones, slabs, etc. around Chang'an City have soared several times recently, so Erchen pondered that he should save money and build more roads for Chang'an as much as possible, so I decided not to use these things. ”

"No, as soon as I and the craftsmen put it together, I will study such a thing together, Dad, don't say it, it's quite easy to use! The ubiquitous river sand and gravel should not increase in price. Li Ke said seriously.

Cheng Yanjin and Yu Chi Dasha, who were behind "poof......", couldn't hold back, and laughed directly.

The other ministers couldn't hold back at this time, Li Ke said this...... It's just killing people!

Why did the price of masonry and slate double and rise, who still doesn't know? But if you say you're because of this and then you make this cement, that's pure. There's no way this stuff can be made in a day or two, and it's still so numerous.

In other words, His Royal Highness the King of Shu had already come out, but he was just covering it up and didn't tell anyone, and then this time he was going to use it by renovating Chang'an City, if the gate valve family didn't jump out, it would be nothing, but who knows, the gate valve family just jumped in.

Li Ke made a game with his hands, and all the ministers understood at this time, why did Li Ke suddenly take the initiative to go to court? Why did you suddenly buy all the non-editors of Chang'an City? Why are you willing to sign the same salary as these people around Chang'an City after buying them, that is, five times the original salary?!

It's all about digging holes!

In the last dynasty, this matter has become a resolution of the imperial court, although it has not been officially passed, but through the "Theory of Chao Error", Li Ke has made it clear that this matter is a huge hidden danger, so to maintain the stability of salaries, there is a labor law.

For this reason, Li Ke is willing to take the initiative to sign an employment agreement with the people around him to maintain the stability of prices, just to solve this problem, just like what is said in "The Theory of Chao Error", people who are really capable should foresee hidden dangers, cause hidden dangers, and solve hidden dangers to prove to the people around them that this is a capable person.

Li Ke did this thing, which made Li Shimin and the court see the hidden dangers of this matter.

So in this case, these brick factories and quarries around you, you suddenly raised your monthly income, and now you have to suddenly lower it in order to avoid losses, do you dare? What are you not committing against the wind?! Do you really think that Li Shimin would not dare to kill people? The heads of the 127 people in the Zheng family are estimated to have just rotted at this time, and the smell is still very strong.

Just this pit, the surrounding masonry yards, and the craftsmen in the quarry who had been recruiting a lot some time ago, at least let these gate valve families hire them for more than a year to two years! In this time, the gate valve family will lose hundreds of thousands, millions of dollars just by adding up to the monthly money!

This money may not be much to the gate valve family, if there are more people, the number of bricks, stones, and slates produced is more, and it is one thing to sell it, and it can return part of the cost.

But Li Ke has now made cement, that is, he doesn't want these materials.

It's a lot of fun, there's nowhere to sell this thing! The amount of materials and other materials consumed each year in Chang'an City is limited, and the surrounding brick factories and quarries have now expanded their size by at least three to five times, respectively.

What was supposed to be normal consumption, now all of a sudden it has expanded so much, you tell me, sell it to whom?

What if Li Ke sold the cement to people who were originally interested in buying masonry at this time?

This means that the masonry and stone slabs will rot in the hands, and at least in the next year or two, you won't want to recoup your capital.

And then there's ...... Just now, His Royal Highness the King of Shu actually temporarily tricked the eldest grandson Sikong again...... All the fabrics, grain stores, merchants, and property rights in the entire Chang'an City are at least a million yuan lost!

"So, what do you want the slate to test?!" Li Shimin's face was a little constipated, Lao Tzu was used as a gun by you again, right? You're getting bolder now!

"Test the hardness, the slate is hard enough, and Erchen is going to have people use a sledgehammer to smash the slate and the cement floor on the ground to see which one is strong." Li Ke said as a matter of course.

Li Shimin: "......"

Ministers: "......"

Eldest Sun Wuji: "...... "I'm a thief dog, do you call this a test?" Is this used for testing? You just smashed a few hammers down the road, and it doesn't explain the problem? Are you going to go out of your way to find a slate? And asked Li Shimin for a slate? Can't you use your tattered old stone slabs?

The eldest grandson Wuji couldn't breathe because of his heartache, careless, careless! Just now, Li Ke asked Li Shimin for a new slate, without mentioning the old bricks dug up from the road, he thought that Li Ke was asking for a new slate to pave the road......

"What is the yield?" Li Shimin took a deep breath and asked.

"The output is good, although the cost is higher, but Erchen himself bears it, it just so happens that this is not the need to expand the production of Chang'an City, and it also requires a large number of manpower, although Erchen has recently increased his salary and monthly salary, but he can also hire a large number of people, which is also worth it." Li Ke is still killing people.

The expressions of all the ministers are weird, although many ministers are actually not on the same line as Li Ke, and even there are various gate valve families behind them, and this time these gate valve families have also lost money.

But after all, it was not they who lost money, and the most ruthless one was undoubtedly the eldest grandson Wuji.

Speaking of which, between this nephew and uncle, it is really a nephew and uncle.

Hearing this, Li Shimin was quite angry, and he was somewhat angry, after all, he also knew that no matter what, Li Ke was cheated and his monthly money increased by 5 times, which was inevitable.

"So, the road of about two hundred and sixty steps is already usable?" Li Shimin simply changed the topic first, as for the matter between Li Ke and the eldest grandson Wuji, anyway, the bet was made by themselves, and it had nothing to do with Li Shimin.

"Yes." Li Ke waved his hand, and Su Dingfang over there immediately commanded the soldiers below to start lifting the straw on the entire road, and a gray road about three hundred meters in modern times appeared in front of everyone.

The whole road is unusually smooth, the whole road is gray, except that there is a thin gap across the road every 10 steps or so, and a longitudinal gap extends every five steps, which feels like the whole road is cut into large squares.
