There was a shock in the main hall, but Zhao Chen smiled, cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, no need, I have no interest in the position of Jingzhao Governor, just let me be your deputy during this period."
Wei Wu was relieved in his heart. Although the prince-in-law was being humble, he would still be responsible for the affairs of Jingzhao Prefecture, but at least he could keep his black gauze hat.
It takes a lot of hard work to achieve this position. No one wants to be dismissed just because of a word.
"Your Majesty, the top priority is to establish the Ministry of Transportation. We need to allocate manpower from the Ministry of Works to plan out the transportation network pattern of our Datang, and then start construction. We can adopt the previous form of relief for work. I have already built official roads. If you think about it, it will be even smoother than Chang'an City."
Wow!
There was some shock in the main hall, and Ma Zhou said again: "Mr. Zhao, if we want to use the same method as in Chang'an City to expand official roads, we will need a lot of bluestone, and quarrying will be a big project."
Chang'an City is basically paved with bluestone. For such a large project, the consumption of bluestone will be astronomical, and it will consume a lot of manpower and material resources.
Zhao Chen smiled: "I have solved this problem. Your Majesty, in my manor laboratory, I have developed an item called cement."
"cement?"
The ministers around were curious again.
"You will find out later."
Zhao Chen clapped his hands, and soon Zhuang Dian, who was waiting outside and was currently the chief craftsman of the Zhao Manor, led a group of people to carry the cement up.
Everyone stretched their necks and looked at the things that were brought up. They saw that the cloth bag that was brought up was filled with black and gray things, all of which were powder, and the other part was full of sand.
A courtier from an aristocratic family came closer, took a look at these two things, and couldn't help laughing: "Consort, this is obviously sand. You don't want sand to build roads, do you?"
Zhao Chen glanced at him: "If you don't speak, no one will treat you as a mute."
"you!"
The minister of the aristocratic family choked and his face turned red.
"Mr. Zhao, stop being so secretive and tell me quickly."
Li Shimin was also a little impatient. Ma Zhou was indeed right. If it were paved with bluestone, even if all the people of the Tang Dynasty came to build the official road, it would not be completed in a short time.
"Go get a bucket of water."
Zhao Chen ordered.
Soon, the water came, and everyone was looking at Zhao Chen. Zhao Chen mixed the lime and sand together, started pouring water, took a shovel and started stirring. After about ten minutes, he said: "Okay. ¡±
"alright?"
The ministers around them stretched their necks with questions on their faces. Is this good?
The former minister of the aristocratic family couldn't help but said: "Consort, are you playing house here?"
Zhao Chen glanced at him again: "Think carefully with your stupid little head. If you are not sure, will I bring it up? Now you just need to pour out the cement completely, compact it and wait for it to dry."
Zhuang Dian immediately stepped forward, took the leveling tool produced in the manor, and smeared the cement directly on a piece of wood, making it a little thick.
After another ten minutes, Zhao Chen waved his hand, and Zhuang Dian and another person lifted the wooden board.
"Your Majesty, please look, this is cement."
?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????: The wooden board was only a black and gray patch, and there was nothing special about it at all.
The former minister of the aristocratic family couldn't help but sarcastically said: "Husband-in-law, is this cement? If you need it, I can have someone dig a few kilograms of river mud from the river outside Chang'an City for you!"
The rest of the people burst into suppressed laughter.
Indeed, this dark patch is no different from the mud at the bottom of the river.
Zhao Chen looked at him with a smile: "What do you call this gentleman?"
"My name is Wang Yanzhi."
"Master Wang," Zhao Chen held up his hands with a smile on his face: "Since Master Wang thinks that my cement is similar to river mud, then I will make a bet with Master Wang."
"What are you betting on?"
"It's simple, as long as Mr. Wang, you pick up your fist, punch the cement on the board hard, and if the cement can fall down, then,"
Zhao Chen paused for a moment, "I, my consort, will immediately kneel down and bow to you, Lord Wang!"
Wow!
??The ministers were in an uproar. Cheng Yaojin laughed and poked Yuchi Gong with his elbow: "Mr. Zhao is trying to trick someone."
Wang Yanzhi snorted: "What if you win?"
"It's simple," Zhao Chen said with a smile on his face, "I won. From now on in this court, I will be your father. When father speaks, as a son, don't interrupt randomly."
Damn it!
Wang Yanzhi felt that his veins were bulging, which was unbearable: "I bet with you!" (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
