I, the queen and the father, start with a deer as a horse

Chapter 191 The Cement Comes Out!the truth is ready

In Chang'an.

Only Miyagi and individual roads are paved with bluestone slabs.

The rest of the road is basically rammed earth and cobblestones.

Leaving Chang'an, there are very few roads paved with stone slabs. Most of the official roads are ordinary rammed earth, or sprinkled with some sand and stones.

thus.

When Wu Mingkong heard what Zhao Zizheng said, his first reaction was not to believe it.

How could there be a smoother road in the world than a bluestone slab?
What kind of material can show such an effect?

It can't be marble, can it?
What a luxury it is to pave with marble.

thought for a moment.

Wu Mingkong asked curiously: "Do you know who built that road?"

Zhao Zizheng shook his head and said, "I don't know."

Wu Mingkong was silent for a while, and said: "A road can never appear out of thin air."

Zhao Zizheng said: "Actually, I noticed that there were people working there a few days ago, but I didn't pay attention to it. Today I saw those workers leaving. After I went to have a look, I realized that they were building roads."

Wu Mingkong fell silent when he heard this.

After a while, she suddenly thought of something, her eyes lit up, she looked at Fang Xiu, and said:

"I remember, when you were in Tangquan Palace, you told me that the official road should be repaired with new materials. Did you build the road in the Liubu Yamen?"

Zhao Zizheng was slightly startled when he heard this, and subconsciously looked at Fang Xiu, his eyes were full of astonishment.

It turned out that the road was built by Fang Xiangxiu!
Thinking about it carefully, it makes sense.

After all, apart from Fang Xiang, who else would dare to build roads in front of the six yamen.

Fang Xiu said calmly, "It's from Chen Xiu."

Wu Mingkong stretched out his small powder fist and hit him, complaining with a hint of coquettishness:

"Then why didn't you tell me!"

When Zhao Zizheng saw this scene, he was startled for a moment, then hurriedly lowered his head, as if he didn't see anything.

At the same time, the mood is extremely complicated.

Today it is today.

The picture of referring to a deer as a horse is still echoing in his mind.

To this day, he still remembers that when he witnessed His Majesty being insulted by the traitor, he secretly swore that one day, he would kill the traitor and restore the court to peace.

But I didn't expect it to be less than a year.

Your Majesty actually met Fang.
All I can say is, things are impermanent.

Fang Xiu shrugged, lowered his voice and said:

"I want to say it, but His Majesty didn't give me a chance."

The implication is that the two have been flirting and flirting, and they didn't have time to talk about business.

Wu Mingkong's pretty face flushed slightly, and he glanced at him.

Looking at Zhao Zizheng, regaining his cool look, he said lightly:
"I know about this, you go down."

Zhao Zizheng hesitated for a moment, bowed and said:
"Since that road is Fang Xiang's masterpiece, I don't know if Fang Xiang can clear up the confusion for the subordinates?"

Fang Xiu said indifferently: "Speak."

Zhao Zizheng asked: "I would like to know, what are the materials for road construction, what is the cost, and can they be used on a large scale?"

The Minister of the Ministry of Industry is old, he doesn't care about many things, and he just wants to retire safely and return home.

Therefore, Zhao Zizheng, the minister of the Ministry of Industry, is equivalent to the chief official of the Ministry of Industry.

It doesn't hurt to tell him what the cement does.

Fang Xiu looked at him and said calmly: "This thing is called cement, and the cost is not high. It can cover the entire Chang'an in a short time."

Hear this.

Zhao Zizheng's eyes burst into light, and he could hardly restrain the excitement in his heart, and asked in a trembling voice: "President Fang, are you serious?"

Fang Xiu glanced at him, but did not answer.

When Zhao Zizheng saw this, he immediately realized that Fang Xiang is now a grand teacher, and he can speak a lot of words, so how could he speak nonsense, so he hurriedly saluted:

"The lower official made a slip of the tongue, Fang Xiang forgives the crime!"

He knew in his heart that if cement could be applied on a large scale, what changes would be brought to the officialdom, so he was extremely excited.

The traitor Fang Xiu, whom he hated so much, suddenly became a pillar of the country and the people in his eyes!
call--

He took a deep breath, tried his best to calm down, looked at Fang Xiu, and asked:
"I don't know if Prime Minister Fang can tell the subordinate how to get the cement?"

Fang Xiu glanced at him and said lightly:
"Cement, like glass, is not a natural product."

get this answer.

Zhao Zizheng was slightly taken aback, then realized something, and fell silent.

Fang Xiu looked at the Empress and said:

"The minister opened a cement workshop outside the city for the production of cement, and will attract investment in a few days."

The word investment.

It's not the first time the empress has come into contact with her.

Fang Xiu used this method when raising money and food for the Northern Expedition.

only.
"Cement is the material for building roads. Usually, only the imperial court builds roads. Will merchants pay for it?"

Fang Xiudao: "The role of cement is not just to build roads. In fact, its role is more powerful than His Majesty imagined!"

Hearing this, Wu Mingkong didn't react too much, but asked curiously:

"What is cement? Is it a mixture of water and mud?"

Fang Xiudao: "Your Majesty, go down and have a look."

Wu Mingkong glanced at Fang Xiu, thought for a while, nodded, and said:
"Okay, take me to have a look."

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Fang Xiu saluted, looked at Zhao Zizheng, and ordered: "Call all the officials in front of the yamen of the household department to display the cement."

Zhao Zizheng was slightly taken aback, and subconsciously looked at the Empress.

Seeing that the Empress didn't speak, he hesitated for a moment, and saluted:
"Yes, Fang Xiang!"

After finishing speaking, he looked at the empress and saluted again:

"I retire!"

After Zhao Zizheng left.

Fang Xiu walked up to the little empress, stretched out his hand to gently stroke the ends of her hair, and spoke softly:

"Your Majesty, it will take some time for all the officials to come, otherwise"

Wu Mingkong raised his small face, looked at Fang Xiu, blinked his big watery eyes, and looked innocent, pretending to be curious: "What else?"

"Do something His Majesty likes."

Fang Xiu stretched out his hand to caress her hot little face, and lowered his eyes.

What is my favorite thing!

Obviously you like it better, okay?

Wu Mingkong blushed, spat in his heart, and hummed:
"My favorite thing is to hit you!"

Fang Xiu raised his eyebrows and said, "Coincidentally, what I like most is being beaten by His Majesty."

Wu Mingkong's pretty face flushed red when he heard this.

Hammering his lower abdomen, he said unhappily:

"Let you talk nonsense!"

Fang Xiu showed pain on his face.

His forehead was covered with cold sweat, soaking the tips of his hair, which looked a little messy.

When Wu Mingkong and Lin Wan'er saw this, they were all taken aback.

The little empress looked flustered, a little at a loss, and said in a trembling voice:
"I, I didn't do it on purpose."

Fang Xiu clutched his belly, opened his mouth in pain, but couldn't make a sound.

Seeing this, Wu Mingkong really panicked. He squatted down, stroked Fang Xiu's cheek, and said in a trembling voice:
"You, are you okay, don't scare me"

Seeing Fang Xiu still had a painful expression on his face.

She panicked and hurriedly said loudly:

"Wan'er, go get the imperial doctor! Go!"

When Lin Wan'er heard this, she finally came to her senses and hurriedly replied, "Yes! Your Majesty!"

Wu Mingkong stretched out his tender little hand to help him cover his lower abdomen.

Because of the panic, tears welled up in his eyes, and he said in a trembling voice:

"Fang Xiu, you have to hold on."

[Emotion value +20000]

A cold system prompt sounded.

Fang Xiu's forehead was dripping with cold sweat, and he opened his mouth, wanting to say something.

Seeing this, Wu Mingkong hastily put his ears together, choked up and said:

"You say, I listen."

Fang Xiu breathed like a dragon: "I am in so much pain."

Wu Mingkong's heart trembled, he couldn't hold it anymore, and wept, looking like pear blossoms with rain.

"I, I didn't do it on purpose, I didn't expect...to be so fragile, I."

The little empress wanted to say something else.

Fang Xiu's voice sounded again.

"I have a way to relieve the pain."

When the little empress heard this, she immediately turned her head to look at him, and asked in a trembling voice:

"any solution?"

Fang Xiu: "Your Majesty, kiss me and it won't hurt."

Wu Mingkong was slightly taken aback, and asked, "Really?"

Fang Xiu nodded lightly with a painful expression on his face.

Seeing this, Wu Mingkong stopped hesitating and kissed him on the cheek.

Fang Xiu was silent for a moment, then said again: "This is not what I said."

Wu Mingkong was startled, and it took him a while to realize what he meant.

I want to kiss you.

place to hit?
Wu Mingkong's pretty face flushed red, and he said shyly, "Can you change the place?"

Fang Xiu frowned, clutched his stomach, gritted his teeth and said, "I'm in so much pain!"

Seeing this, Wu Mingkong gritted his teeth and leaned over slowly.

Roll up the Crane and Scarlet Robe.

Stick it on his lower abdomen.

A cold touch came.

Fang Xiu's heart fluttered, and he stretched out his hand to caress the hair of the little empress.

next second.

Wu Mingkong realized something, raised his eyes suddenly, glared at Fang Xiu, gritted his teeth and spit out three words:

"Dog traitor!"

After half an hour.

In front of the door of the Ministry of Household Yamen.

Hundreds of officials gathered together, looking at the flat road in front of them, talking a lot.

"This kind of pavement is seamless, harder and smoother than stone slabs. This is the first time I have seen it, and I don't know what material it is made of."

"Zhao Butang just said that this material is called cement, and it was invented by Fang Xiang."

"Cement? Sounds a bit mundane."

"Speaking of which, Prime Minister Fang summoned me to wait, but did he just ask me to take a look at the cement used for road construction?"

The voice just fell.

He heard a magnetic voice behind him.

"Otherwise? What else do you want to do?"

When the officials heard the voice, they hurriedly turned around and saluted.

"Meet Fang Xiang!"

After finishing speaking, he saw the empress dressed in dragon robes and fox fur. She was startled for a moment, then saluted again.

"See Your Majesty!"

Wu Mingkong waved his hand and said lightly, "Excuse me."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Baiguan stood on both sides, leaving room.

Wu Mingkong stepped forward, looked at the blue-gray cement road, and asked curiously:

"Is this cement?"

Fang Xiu thought for a while and replied, "To be precise, it's hardened cement."

Hear the word "hardening".

The little empress didn't know what to think of, a blush appeared on her pretty face, she glared at Fang Xiu, and said in her heart: You actually molested me in front of all civil and military officials!Are you crazy!
Fang Xiu noticed her eyes and instantly understood that she had misunderstood.

With a chuckle, said:
"I have ordered the people in the cement workshop to bring a new bag of cement. After that, Your Majesty will understand what I mean."

After a while.

Several guys came over carrying bags of cement.

Fang Xiu ordered: "Pour out some and show it to Your Majesty and the princes."

"Yes! Sir!"

Several guys carried sacks and poured out the cement.

Wu Mingkong and Baiguan looked at the powder on the ground with doubts in their eyes.

"These are also cement?"

Fang Xiudao: "To be precise, it is the cement before hardening."

Everyone looked puzzled, not understanding the meaning of this sentence.

Fang Xiu looked at the guys and ordered:

"Go get a bucket of water and continue to build the road."

"Yes, sir!"

According to Fang Xiu's instructions, several staff brought the wooden barrel.

Pour the water into the cement powder, mix and stir.

According to previous experience, spread on the ground.

Continue to stir, then smooth out.

Seeing this scene, the empress and all the officials suddenly understood something.

"When you add water to cement powder and dry it in the sun, does it become cement?"

Fang Xiu nodded: "Probably so."

The Empress and Baiguan received an affirmative answer, and the way they looked at the cement changed.

If it is said that after adding water to the cement, it will become like this when it dries.

So can cement be used in various places?
Roads, bridges, houses, walls.
These can all be built with cement!

of course.

The premise of all this is that the hardness of the cement reaches a certain level.

Wu Mingkong's eyes flickered, and he ordered:
"Go get the hammer!"

"Yes! Your Majesty!"

After a while.

Someone fetched the hammer.

Wu Mingkong ordered: "Aim at the road and hit it hard!"

"Yes! Your Majesty!"

The man responded, took a hammer, pointed it at the concrete road, and smashed it.

boom!
Hammer it down.

The concrete pavement has not changed in the slightest.

Seeing this scene, everyone's eyes widened with disbelief.

"With such a hammer, the stone slabs are broken, and the dried cement has no trace at all!"

"This, how is this possible!"

Upon seeing this, Qian Haonan, Shangshu of the Ministry of War, stepped forward, took the hammer, and said loudly:

"I will try it!"
