Ming Dynasty: Tanks blocked the door and you said to me, "Long live Ming Dynasty"

Everyone's attention was drawn to him. They stopped looking at the scenery and turned to watch the two of them arguing.

Guo Yunhou's eyes widened: "Impossible! Absolutely impossible!"

"Twenty cement plants, how much raw materials would that require!"

He was taken by Wu Chunfu to a cement production site and even had his head clamped, so he has a relatively good understanding of the cement production process.

Guo Yunhou: "Where did you get so much lime?"

Wu Chunfu: "Dig the mountain!"

Guo Yunhou: "Where's the clay?"

Wu Chunfu looked at him as if he was an idiot and pointed to an empty place at random.

"Isn't it everywhere? Dig it up!"

Guo Yunhou: "Okay, you can make up a story! Then we can get the raw materials from the mountains and land of Datong, make cement, and transport it to the road construction site bit by bit."

"How long does it take to repair and transport such a long road? How long does it take to go back and forth?"

"Don't tell me again that it can be completed in two months. I, Guo Yunhou, am not that easy to fool!"

Everyone looked at Wu Chunfu with a look of contempt, and then looked at Guo Yunhou who was so angry that his face turned red and his neck became thick. It was very lively.

"Hehe! Hehe!"

Wu Chunfu said in a very disdainful tone: "Master Guo, you must know that there is a construction method called parallel construction, right?"

Guo Yunhou was irritated by his attitude and was so angry that he jumped up and down.

"Who do you think doesn't understand parallel construction? Wu Chunfu, you want to deceive me, want to deceive His Majesty, you are courting death!"

"Within these two hundred miles, how many construction sections do you need to construct in parallel? If you want to complete the project within two months, you need at least twenty sections!"

"Haha! Twenty sections of road being constructed at the same time is unheard of! I have never seen it before!"

Wu Chunfu became extremely proud and arrogant when he heard this.

"Well, you saw it today."

"Not much actually. Five more sections than the twenty."

As soon as this statement came out, there was an uproar.

Only Zhu Youxiao remained calm.

The entire project is 200 miles long and is divided into 25 sections, which are repaired simultaneously. Each section is about eight miles long.

It took two months, even though they were building the road, leveling the ground, blasting the mountain and digging the soil to make cement, but it was very reasonable.

The key word is just one: more people and more hard work!

Otherwise, can we flower growers be called infrastructure maniacs?

However, Guo Yunhou didn't think about all this and directly grabbed Wu Chunfu's collar.

"Old bastard! Twenty-five sections of road are under construction! There should be a limit to bragging. You don't want to live anymore, don't you want to think about your family? And now you want to bully the king!"

When Zhu Youxiao saw this, he was shocked. Now Guo Lao was so anxious that he directly activated the Wen Tiren state!

He quickly advised, "Hey, Mr. Guo, please let go, please let go. We are all civilized people. We should talk properly. Why did you resort to violence?"

When Wen Tiren, who was standing by, heard this, his heart skipped a beat and his eyes rolled around.

What do you mean by this, Your Majesty?

I often grab people by the collar like this. Is he implying that I am not a civilized person?

But before, I criticized several ministers in front of Your Majesty, but I was not blamed!

No matter what, as long as Your Majesty still values ​​me, it doesn't matter if I'm civilized or not...

On this side, Wu Chunfu had already angrily shaken off Guo Yunhou's hand.

It would be fine if Wen Tiren grabbed him by the collar, but he is the Prime Minister.

Who are you, Guo Yunhou?

We are all ministers of six ministries, why are you picking on us?

Just then, a loud bang was heard from a distance.

Zhu Youxiao and others looked in the direction of the sound, and saw white smoke rising from a mountain not far away, and scattered rocks. Under the sunlight, it seemed as if there was a ripple in the sky.

At the foot of the mottled mountain, a grayish-white area, which accounts for one-tenth of the entire mountain, is particularly conspicuous under the reflection of the sunlight.

It was as if the mountain had opened a big hole.

Not far in front of the big mouth, there are dozens of large chimneys, emitting thick smoke.

Wu Chunfu said proudly when he saw everyone's shocked expressions.

"Your Majesty, please look, that is the cement factory that I built specifically for the construction of cement roads."

As he said this, he looked at Guo Yunhou provocatively.

"Old man, let me tell you, there are cement factories like this one, which are suitable for digging in front of the stone mountain. Our Ministry of Industry has built a total of 20 of them!"

"Wow! Lord Wu, this... this is the cement factory you mentioned!"

⊙o⊙

Prince Xin was quite shocked, as he had never seen such a large kiln and chimney.

Zhu Youxiao couldn't help but smile.

As he expected, it was just an enlarged version of the dozens of kilns outside Datong City, but there were no other factories like it.

Most of the cement produced is directly mixed and used as cement roads, and a small amount is packaged and covered with oil paper cloth for temporary storage.

Now that Guo Yunhou saw the real cement factory, he finally believed that Wu Chunfu was not bragging.

Moreover, this cement factory is much larger than the cement construction site outside Datong City!

When he thought of this, he felt a surge of heartache and couldn't help but cry out in surprise.

"You built twenty cement plants this big! And you built two hundred miles of roads!"

"How many people will it take? How much will it cost?"

Wu Chunfu: "Cost? What is that?"

Chapter 445 Puppetry and Marionettes

When Guo Yunhou saw Wu Chunfu like this, he was almost angry to death.

I really don’t know how expensive firewood and rice are when I’m not a householder.

It turns out that the money wasn't paid by this old fellow, so he'll give it to me to death!

It's not painful for the son to sell his father's land, right?

Guo Yunhou beat his chest and stamped his feet.

"What's the cost? Silver!!!"

"How many people will it take to build such a long road? How much money will it cost?"

"The little money I worked so hard to save was emptied out by you in one go!"

Wu Chunfu was very surprised when he heard this.

"Ah, this! We still have to spend money? Isn't it work-for-relief?"

Guo Yunhou was stunned at first, then he quickly came to his senses and slapped himself hard on the forehead.

"Yes! We are providing work-for-relief, hahaha!"

The slap was so hard that his forehead became visibly red and swollen.

But he didn't care about these at all. At this moment, his heart was filled with ecstasy.

Good guy!

The labor is free and the raw materials are just like picked up ones!

Isn't it just like getting a 200-mile cement road for free?

Fuck this officer!

In this case, the money spent on buying the cement formula is well worth it!

Look at this road...

It's smoother than the floor of my bedroom. Even if I roll around on it with my wife in my arms, I don't think my butt will hurt.

The more he calculated, the more he felt that he had made a huge profit. He was so excited that he couldn't help but pat Wu Chunfu on the shoulder.

"Old Wu, you are such a talented person!"

Wu Chunfu was just wondering why this guy hit himself for no reason, when he was hit unexpectedly and almost fell off the carriage.

Fortunately, Sun Chengzong was quick to act and pulled him back, thus avoiding an accident.

"Mr. Guo, are you sick?" Wu Chunfu broke out in a cold sweat.

"Hey, sorry, sorry! Sir Wu, are you okay? It's all my fault that I was too happy!"

Guo Yunhou smiled apologetically and complimented Wu Chunfu while patting him on the back.

"Master Wu is amazing!"

"Once this method is released, it will be recorded in history and will be immortal!"

Wu Chunfu glared at him angrily after hearing this: "Why do I feel like you are saying goodbye to me?"

Zhu Youxiao, who was standing nearby, also laughed at what he heard and couldn't help but make a joke.

"Lord Wu, if someone talks to me like this, I will beat them up..."

Wu Chunfu understood immediately, grabbed Guo Yunhou by the collar and pushed him to the ground.

Guo Yunhou was stunned until the fist landed on his chest, then he reacted. There was deep resentment in his eyes when he looked at Zhu Youxiao.

"Your Majesty, I just said something wrong. It's not kind of you to do this!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he felt a pain in his chest and exclaimed in surprise.

"Hey, Mr. Wu! Don't pinch me there..."

Looking at the two people rolling in a ball in the carriage, Zhu Youxiao shifted his gaze outside.

The gray-white cement road is like a giant dragon crawling on the ground.

The smoke columns rising from the cement factory in the distance are even more spectacular.

These are the changes I have brought to the Ming Dynasty.

Although it is suspected of polluting the environment, does it matter?

As long as the people can survive now, everything is worth it!

"Wu Aiqing, you did a good job this time!"

"A reward of one thousand taels of silver and one hundred pieces of brocade!"

"Oh, by the way, these come from the Ministry of Revenue!"

The two old guys who were still fighting with each other stopped immediately when they heard this.

The resentment in Guo Yunhou's eyes became even more intense...

Not only did he get beaten up for no reason just because he said something wrong, but now he has to pay the money.

Moreover, this money went into Wu Chunfu’s personal pocket!

As for Wu Chunfu...

Hearing the praise from Zhu Youxiao, he immediately straightened his clothes and withdrew the leg that was pressing on Guo Yunhou.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for the reward!"

"I guarantee that within three months, this road will be built to Beijing!"

Zhu Youxiao smiled and nodded, then pointed to one side of the cement road and asked, "If I'm not mistaken, this gravel road is specially prepared for the fire bull cart, right?"
