    Liu Mingqi has never been responsible for specific road construction.

    Of course these things should not be considered by Liu Mingqi.

    Otherwise, Liu Mingqi would be too tired.

    "You don't have to worry about how to build this specifically, how wide it should be, and how thick it should be." After thinking about it, Emperor Jinghe asked: "Is it true that as long as the clay craftsmen test it themselves, they can know how thick it is?"  How much can we achieve the hardness standard?¡±

    "Yes."

    Liu Mingqi nodded and said: "I have a formula with the current hardness standard, which I can give to them when the time comes Of course, this can also change according to changes in terrain and conditions. They only need to test it dozens of times carefully,  A few hundred times can lead to practical conclusions.¡±

    "Don't worry, Your Highness, they don't dare to neglect. We, the descendants of the Moh family, are never careless about experiments." The one who answered him was Wu Yu, the Minister of Industry, who was also Liu Mingqi's Lao Taishan.

    In formal occasions, his address is not careless at all.

    As the representative of the Mohist family in the court, his attitude also represents the attitude of the Mohist family.

    "After this is done, it will benefit all sentient beings in the world. Of course, it cannot be done carelessly.

    "Studying various proportions can be put at the end." Ge Songdao interjected: "Your Highness, you have more than 300 bags in one day, more than 3,000 in ten days, and a hundred days of production to build a three-mile road, right? That's it.  Speed ??is too childish!"

    "Ge Xiang, don't panic."

    Liu Mingqi smiled brightly, "Isn't this just in the experimental stage? Once it is determined that its functions meet the needs, our next step will be to expand! I have prepared a full two thousand acres of land!"

    "Two thousand acres?" Emperor Jing He didn't understand this concept. He simply asked: "Just tell me how much cement you can make every day after starting the work at full strength!"

    ¡°There are enough manpower, enough raw materials, proper logistics support, and sufficient money I can guarantee 100,000 bags a day, which is five million catties.¡±

    ¡°That¡¯s seven miles to less than eight miles.¡±

    An expert like Wu Yu could figure it out right away with a pen and paper.

    What he was holding was cardboard and a pencil made by Liu Mingqi. Because these equipments are simple, practical, and easy to carry, they have already penetrated into all aspects of the Ministry of Industry, and even the Ministry of Household Affairs is promoting them on a large scale.

    "Too little!"

    The emperor was the first to frown, "Can't you expand the scale and produce more?"

    "Your Majesty, I have to train enough skilled workers first, let them have enough experience, and have a good enough yield rate before I can expand!" Liu Mingqi couldn't laugh or cry, "I started doing something special right from the start.  If we get poor quality cement, won¡¯t all the hard work be in vain?¡±

    "Yes, Your Majesty, don't panic." Zhong Chang was also advising from the side.

    Ma Haoqiu asked Liu Mingqi, "According to what His Highness said, how long will it take to expand?"

    "In half a year!" Liu Mingqi said, "Still following the model of the briquette workshop, we will first build one in the Gyeonggi region, then one in Sichuan, then one in Jiangnan, and one in the northwest and northeast. This should be enough.  The whole process will probably take about two years.¡±

    "Isn't two years too long?" Ma Haoqiu frowned.

    "Soon."

    Liu Mingqi shook his head, "Sweet potatoes will be planted on a large scale in exactly two years. These cement workers themselves are doing hard work, they eat a lot, and they are separated from farming. With sweet potatoes, they can supplement a lot of food and then build roads.  Don¡¯t we also need a lot of people during this time? Their rations must also be considered!¡±

    "right!"

    Jinghe Dija said, "We just need to think carefully! It's only two years, we can still afford to wait, otherwise we won't even have the money to buy cement."

    Having said this, he asked: "What's the price of cement? You can't be a shady businessman! We have such a large quantity, why should it be cheaper?"

    Liu Mingqi had planned this for a long time. He immediately said: "According to today's raw materials and labor, a fifty kilogram bag of cement is sold for two hundred yuan, so we can only make a small profit."

    As a science student, of course Liu Mingqi had a plan when he was making cement.

    Princess Yu had calculated the price with him before.

    Women are very familiar with and like cost calculations.

    ?According to the fact that limestone is shipped from Shaanxi, clay is shipped from Hubei, and then there are gypsum, iron ore powder, etc., added together, it is the cost of raw materials.

    Then there is the treatment of workers?He also gained concentration.

    It doesn¡¯t matter, I will invent more good things in the future so that everyone can make money and the court will be well-funded!

    After thinking about it, the young man asked: "Your Majesty, look at the houses of these common people, which are all made of dirt. Can I sell them some cement so that they can build their houses flat so that they will not be dirty everywhere and their lives will be difficult to live in?"  Not happy."

    "This method is acceptable." Emperor Jinghe nodded, "An ordinary household does not need such a thick concrete floor. It needs about one thousand kilograms of cement as the main material, right? Five taels of silver, plus river sand and  The pebbles cost no more than ten taels of silver¡­well, it¡¯s a bit expensive, but this is a one-time investment that can last for decades, so it¡¯s acceptable!¡±

    "forget it!"

    Ge Songdao quickly stopped him, "Your Majesty, Your Highness, we must first ensure our military and court expenses! There are so many residents in the world, what will we do if they rob all the cement?"

    "Too!"

    Emperor Jinghe laughed dumbly, "Well, let's do it this way. We'll sell it to the people after two years, depending on the situation What do you think, Mingqi?"

    "Your Majesty is wise!"

    Liu Mingqi raised her thumbs.

    "Haha you are the biggest contributor!" Emperor Jinghe patted him on the shoulder, his face full of happiness: "Mingqi, this great fortune cannot survive without you!!"

    ¡­¡­

    The price of cement is comprehensively judged according to the standards of 325, 425, and 525. Coupled with the horizontal comparison of the corresponding rice prices, there should be no problem in converting it to four cents per pound.

    After all, in modern times, a pound of ordinary cement is only 0.2 yuan.
