Chapter 160 Build a city

The king is happy and is proud of himself and respecting Xu Yi.

Not causing trouble for yourself can also bring benefits. Such a minister cannot be disliked. At this moment, the saint's favor for Xu Yi was higher than that of his adopted son Wang Zhongsi.

Wang Zhongsi was just a famous general, and from now on, Xu Yi was not only a famous general, but also had signs of becoming a famous minister.

Just talking about dealing with the dilemma of the Shence Army this time, to be honest, the saint issued such a vague edict, and he himself knew the difficulties of forming the Shence Army.

In its original intention, the saint was prepared to acquiesce Xu Yi to use his own wealth to support the Shen Ce Army.

Xu Yi entered the world from the mountains and accumulated wealth from a family for less than a few hundred years in just a few years. The saints knew it, or they were a little jealous.

The Shen Ce Army spent some money on Xu Yi, and the saint thought it was OK.

As for private support of the army... In the entire country and dynasty, almost all the governors have this fact. As long as the army belongs to the court, the saints think it can be ignored.

Unexpectedly, Xu Yi would have such a solution. It is better to teach people how to fish than to teach people how to fish. This is a sign of famous officials.

At this time, looking at the flat and round glass beads, the saint seemed to see a continuous source of wealth.

Five thousand soldiers, even if Xu Yi intends to increase the food and salary of the soldiers, how much can he raise? The two princesses and the Interior Affairs Office... The princesses are not married, so there are no descendants. Xu Yi and the Interior Affairs Office really share the profits from the glass industry.

It's so happy to think about it.

"Your Majesty, I will also offer your Majesty the matter to inspect!"

For the two princesses, the purpose of entering the palace had already achieved. Xu Yi was always curious about the wooden box in his hand. At this time, Xu Yi also raised his mind when he spoke.

In recent years, all things that are advocated by Xu Yi, led by Xu Yi, and taken action by Xu Yi, are shocking things and all involve endless wealth.

"Oh, what else does my dear, let's take a look together."

The more the saint looked at Xu Yi, the more comfortable the more he looked at, the more he was with his son. It was much more comfortable than seeing his son.

In addition to forming cliques to fight for power and profit, is there anyone who concerns his father? Hua'elou has been around for four years, and it has not been completed yet due to the imperial court.

Look at Xu Yi. The first time he entered the palace, he solved the trouble that had troubled him for many years.

This idea of ​​giving people fishing is much better than Li Linfu's so-called way to compress or even cancel the military expenditure of the Jiedu governor.

Xu Yi put the wooden box in and placed it on the ground, and the saint, two princesses, including Gao Lishi, surrounded him.

It's just a ragged wooden box...

Xu Yi tried it with his hands, but did not break the wooden boards off, looked left and right, then walked towards the guards and pointed to the guards' waist knife...

"Removing the knife to Jincheng Hou."

With the order of the saint, the guards gave Xu Yi a knife.

Without pulling out the waist knife, Xu Yi just used the scabbard to gently knock the square broken wooden box... The first piece of wooden board came down, and then the pieces of wooden boards were knocked down by Xu Yi.

Xu Yi knocked down the wooden boards from the inside of the square.

"Is this... it's a stone?"

"It's not like it, it's like a clay sculpture."

"How can clay sculptures be so hard?"

"It's quite heavy."

The saint and the two princesses looked at him with interest, as if they were not in a hurry to let Xu Yi solve the mystery. The saint even picked up the slightest measure.

He looked at it, touched it, and even the saint took the waist knife from Xu Yi and knocked it a few times: "It seems like a real stone."

"Tell me, charity boy, what is this?"

All the saints call him Boy Xu Yiyi.

"Your Majesty, may someone send some water?"

Without the saint's greeting, Gao Lishi quickly left and soon brought a large basin of water.

This is too exaggerated. Xu Yi didn't bring so much goods. This is cement. Although it is the most primitive earth cement, its weight is not light.

At this time, Xu Yi took out a cloth bag from his sleeve, spread the wooden board on the ground, poured out the cement in the cloth bag, added water, and stirred it bit by bit with a waist knife.

"Xu Yi, could this stone-like square box be made of this sand?"

By this time, you should have understood it.

The two princesses may not have thought of anything, but the saints, even Gao Lishi, thought of a lot.

The sand is mixed with water, and the things that are finally formed are as stiff as stones... If such things are built...

"Report to your Majesty, that's true."

Xu Yi said, his hands did not stop. He looked at the main hall of Xingqing Palace. The ground was made of bluestone pieces, and the gap between bluestones was not small.

Xu Yi used wooden boards to hold the cement, pulled out the waist knife as a tile knife, and stuffed it into the gap bit by bit along the gap bit by bit, and then wiped it with a smooth knife surface until it was flush with the bluestone and was as smooth as it was.

"Your Majesty, don't let people move for the time being. When tomorrow, cement will be like bluestone, not only smooth, but also hard."

The saint stopped listening to what Xu Yi said, got up and kept wandering around the hall. Gao Lishi followed him...I don't know what to do if I can relieve my inner excitement by turning around? Or can I know the secret method by turning around?

"Yi'er, what's the point of saying this?"

The eldest princess' attitude towards the saint was more excited than seeing the glass industry, so she naturally would not think that this was a simple matter. However, she could not think of the benefits of this matter.

"Mom, this is also made by mixing and firing different sand and gravel in a certain proportion. The child calls it cement."

"After the cement is made, it is in a sandy state. After adding water and stirring evenly, it can solidify in any shape. For example, the ground can be smoothed with cement, which is as smooth as bluestone."

"At the same time, the hardness of cement after solidification is comparable to that of bluestone, just like a square box brought by a child, it is easy to break."

"The saint is considering that if we build a city with cement, the first is to carry it easily and transport it easily. The second is that cement can also be glued to blue bricks to reinforce the city wall."

"Even in building houses, river repairs, road paving and other matters, cement can be used..."

"Wouldn't that be the same as making a fortune again?"

Princess Yuzhen's scream interrupted Xu Yi's story and also interrupted the saint's circle.

"Yuzhen, this thing is not just a source of wealth. Xu Aiqing's cautious approach is correct, this is a strategic substance comparable to steel."

"Lishi, test the square box brought by Xu Aiqing with a powerful crossbow and a bow and arrow..."

When Gao Lishi came back again with a square box with a powerful crossbow arrow seal, the saint had sat down again and didn't speak.

The saint was thinking about how to develop the cement industry, Yu Zhen was thinking about how to get involved in this industry, and Princess Jinxian was full of pride in Xu Yi.

Yi'er is loyal to Dasheng!

"Xu Aiqing, I have withdrawn all the troops of Xiliu Camp and handed over the entire Xiliu Camp to the Shence Army. At the same time, I have assigned the Xiliu Camp to the Shence Army within a radius of ten miles."

"In addition, I ask you to build a city, a military city, a military city, and a city of firearms, glass and even cement workshops in Xiliuying."
