Liu Deng secretly raised his eyes and saw that the emperor's expression was a little abnormal. He could tell from his buttocks that the emperor probably felt that he did not offer the cement formula.
Although Liu Deng did have some small thoughts, after all, the food had to be eaten one bite at a time and the work had to be done bit by bit, these little thoughts could not be known to the emperor.
So Liu Deng rolled his eyes and immediately took it into consideration.
"Your Majesty, this thing is called cement! It was invented accidentally by a craftsman. Whether it is used for building cities or building roads, it seems to be performing quite well so far. However, this thing is a new thing after all, so it is still in the In the experimental stage!"
After hearing what Liu Deng said, the emperor immediately felt much more comfortable, and his face suddenly looked much better.
"I see, are these the finished products of this thing?"
Liu Heng has long been used to these weird names given by Liu Deng. The emperor is the real pragmatist. As long as it is beneficial to the people's livelihood, there is nothing the emperor does not care about.
"Reporting to your majesty, look at this. All of this has been completed. You only need to use large roots of moso bamboo to build the prototype of the pillars, and then surround them with wooden boards. After mixing cement and sand and gravel in a certain proportion, pour them in and wait for ten seconds. In the future, you can get a complete column by taking wooden planks! These are just built!"
While Liu Deng was speaking, he personally picked up a hammer from the ground, and then hit it heavily on the cement pillar.
Although Liu Deng is not known for his strength, sparks flew out from his blow. In these days, people have not yet learned to cut corners.
After experiencing the magic of cement, the proportions explained by the craftsmen sent by the imperial court were directly regarded as their standards, and everyone strictly followed this standard.
So the grade of this cement is not generally high, even though the current steel production does not allow them to directly mix steel bars into the building.
However, those tough moso bamboos have perfectly replaced the work of steel bars. At least for now, these pillars are indeed indestructible!
"If we follow what you say, as long as we have enough manpower and cement, we can build a new city in ten months?"
The emperor's eyes suddenly lit up. The confrontation between the Han Dynasty and the Huns lasted for more than a day or two.
Starting from Liu Bang, the great ancestor of the Han Dynasty, the Han Dynasty has tried countless times to gain a foothold in the Hetao Plain. However, every time the Han army went out to fight, the Huns immediately divided their forces.
"One or two can run faster than rabbits. Without enough backup support, the Han army did not dare to rush deep into the grassland.
In the end, we had no choice but to let it go. After spending a lot of money and food, we returned to the Great Wall in despair.
¡°But, if there is cement, everything will be different.
¡°What if when the Han army goes on an expedition this fall, they quietly bring a team of civilians with them, drive the Huns hundreds of miles away, and then build a city directly on the spot!
In just a few months, a new city will stand firm at any cost. In a field battle, the Han army is indeed no match for the Huns.
But when it comes to defending the city, the Huns are no exception.
Such a city is pushed out one by one, three hundred miles today, five hundred miles tomorrow, and bit by bit, even if the two sides don't fight, it won't be long before the Huns will have to withdraw from the entire Hetao Plain. .
After thinking of this, Liu Heng became excited.
If he could really take back the Hetao Plain, he would die in peace!
?Thousands of miles of the Yellow River, only one thing is rich.
The Hetao Plain is rich in products and the land is fertile. It is suitable for grazing and farming. If only the Hetao Plain could be included in the territory of the Han Dynasty.
I am afraid that the Han Dynasty¡¯s food production will be doubled soon.
More importantly, if grain is produced in the Hetao Plain, the imperial court will have a base to advance.
There is no need to transport food from the distant Guanzhong to the Xiongnu grassland.
"How much does this cost? If the workshops near Jinyang were to produce at full capacity, how much could be produced in one day?"
After thinking through these questions, Liu Heng asked with his eyes wide open.
Liu Deng finally breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, the emperor did not directly ask him to hand over the formula. Otherwise, the largest source of wealth would really be fed to the wolves.
"Your Majesty, if you want to build a small city with a radius of 5 miles, use cement to build it."In other words, all the cement needed can be completed in the workshop near Jinyang one month in advance! "
Liu Deng said this very hard. After all, the process of making cement is very simple. The most important thing is to control the heat. This cement kiln has been built, and it is not that easy to rebuild it in other places.
"Okay! That's very good. Start preparing for this after your wedding! If this happens, I will give you a great favor when your son is born a hundred days later!"
Hearing what he said, Liu Deng rolled his eyes to the sky.
If you say this, it means that the cement money for building the city needs to be paid for by yourself.
Liu Deng was immediately extremely reluctant. Why?
After the city was built, it had nothing to do with him. In this day and age, if the emperor wanted to take action, he would definitely choose Beidi County.
"Leave Yulin to the north and seize the Hetao Grassland. If you do this, who is this cheap bastard?"
¡°No¡ª¡±
"But the emperor's Chrysostom had already opened his mouth, and he didn't have the courage to go to the emperor to ask for money, so he had no choice but to agree.
"You brat, you've already made a lot of money in other things, but this is a major military and national matter, what's your expression if I ask you to shed some blood?"
Liu Heng has been scheming with ministers in the court for so many years, how could he not see through Liu Deng's little thoughts?
But in his opinion, this guy is basically his nephew. Isn¡¯t it natural to contribute some efforts to the great Han Dynasty?
Seeing that Liu Heng had already walked away, Liu Deng hurriedly followed him. Anyway, he didn't have the courage to go to the emperor to ask for money. It seemed that he had to pay the bill himself.
But fortunately, cement itself is not very valuable, and everything is actually produced and sold by Liu Deng¡¯s people personally.
??If calculated, the cost is actually lower. Even if it is to build a five-mile city, it will not cost much in the end. It is only 50,000 yuan at most.
In other words, although he may have to lose 50,000 yuan this time, Liu Deng believes that after building this new city, the name of this cement will be spread all over the world from now on.
¡°It¡¯s just tens of thousands of copper coins, but everyone in the world knows the magic of cement.
When he thought about it, Liu Deng immediately became happy. It was only 50,000 yuan, so it was just advertising money spent by me!
