Great Tang Dynasty

Chapter 2112 What a Good Thing

Strong intentions.

The wind in Chang'an gradually became colder.

On the way back, Xu Jingzong felt that he hadn't suffered much, so that when he returned to Chang'an City, not only did he not lose weight, but he gained weight.

And after he returned to Chang'an City, he didn't dare to stay in the slightest, and entered the palace in a hurry.

In the palace, Li Shimin was discussing matters with Cheng Yaojin and the others.

Hearing that Xu Jingzong had returned, everyone was overjoyed.

"Quick, let him in."

Not long after, Xu Jingzong hurried into the palace.

"Meet Your Majesty."

Li Shimin nodded and asked, "I bought all the cement, what's the price?"

"I bought it back. It's very cheap. It only costs two hundred Wen for a hundred catties."

Two hundred Wen is not a lot of money, but one hundred catties is very heavy. Li Shimin was very satisfied when he heard that Qin Tian gave such a price, and said, "Okay, Qin Aiqing is still very good for the country and the people. Believe me, the price is fair."

Li Shimin praised the cement very much, but Changsun Wuji curled his lips and said, "My lord, I wonder if this cement is really as good as the rumors say, with good adhesion."

Gao Shilian quickly echoed: "Yes, Your Majesty, why don't we try it and see if it is very firm?"

Li Shimin also wanted to take a look, so he nodded and said, "Okay, let's take a look."

After the order was given, someone quickly brought cement and sand to mix, and then found two bricks to glue them together.

The weather is not very hot now, so the cement dries slowly, but after an hour, it is still almost the same.

Li Shimin glanced at the crowd and asked, "Who would like to try?"

Gao Shilian reported his bravery and said, "Your Majesty, how about I try it?"

He was worried that people like Cheng Yaojin were playing tricks secretly.

Li Shimin didn't care who came to try it, he nodded and said: "Then Gao Aiqing will try it."

Gao Shilian rolled up his sleeves, then took another stride, and then began to break the two bricks. He thought the cement was just so-so, so he only used [-]% of the strength, but he tried. After a while, the cement didn't move at all, obviously it was very firm.

His eyes were slightly condensed, and then he increased his strength, causing his entire forehead to sweat.

However, with his appearance, he couldn't even break the cement away.

At this time, everyone already knew the power of cement.

"Okay, okay, this cement is very strong. If I use this cement in the new city wall of Chang'an City, it will be as solid as gold in the future."

As the capital of Chang'an City, security can be regarded as the top priority. Although Li Shimin didn't think that anyone could kill Chang'an City, but to prevent it before it happens, the stronger the capital, the better.

Now that there is cement, there will be nothing to worry about in Chang'an City in the future.

"Now the materials needed for the expansion of the city wall are ready, and the preparations are almost done. Let King Jin start the construction earlier. Chang'an City is very big. It may take a year to complete it."

There are many craftsmen in Chang'an City, but even so, it will take a year to expand Chang'an City. If there is any problem on the way, it may not be completed in a year.

Therefore, now that there is cement, the next step is to start work quickly.

After Li Shimin finished speaking, someone naturally responded quickly.

But at this moment, Changsun Wuji glanced at Xu Jingzong, and said with a smile: "Master Xu went to Liangzhou City, why did he gain so much weight?"

Regarding Xu Jingzong, Changsun Wuji felt that it was necessary to beat him, telling him not to collude with Qin Tian, ​​and not to say anything good about Qin Tian or Liangzhou City after he came back.

And after he said such a sentence, he had already reminded Xu Jingzong.

However, after Xu Jingzong heard Changsun Wuji's words, he cursed secretly in his heart, thinking that Changsun Wuji was really inhuman, and he even wanted to harm him.

Thinking of the assassination he suffered in Liangzhou City, he was even more angry.

However, he has been an official for many years, and he still has a city mansion. After being asked by Changsun Wuji, he immediately laughed: "Yes, this official also feels that this official is getting fat. This may be from Liangzhou City. Some of the food I brought back was so delicious, the journey was hard and boring, so I just relied on these delicacies to pass the time."

After Xu Jingzong said this, Changsun Wuji's face became a bit ugly. He originally wanted to remind Xu Jingzong what to say and what not to say, but now, Xu Jingzong actually praised the food in Liangzhou City. What does he mean by this, is he deliberately against himself?

But even so, Changsun Wuji couldn't get angry, because he asked this question himself.

But at this time, others became curious.

"Oh, is there anything delicious in Liangzhou City?"

"Why didn't it break along the way?"

"That's right, what are you eating?"

They are very particular about eating, and they also like to eat. When they hear that there is something delicious, they naturally become curious.

Xu Jingzong said: "There are quite a lot of delicious ones. First of all, there is spicy soup. With this thing, I don't have any problems when I want to drink spicy soup on the way. But this thing is not unusual. It is the most The most important thing is canned food. There are canned fruit, canned fish, and canned meat. These canned food taste very good. The most important thing is that they have been taking revenge for a long time, and they have not lost the freshness of the food. Your Majesty, I think canned food This thing can be popularized in the army, it is much better than bacon sausages, and those canned fruits can supplement some of the nutrients that soldiers need."

Xu Jingzong muttered. When everyone heard the canned food, they were very curious. Then, they couldn't help drooling again. The same is true here for Li Shimin, so when Xu Jingzong said this, He nodded and said, "Is there any more of this can?"

"Yes, of course there is."

Xu Jingzong ordered someone to bring a jar of canned fruit, with peaches on the facade.

Now that it's autumn, there are no more peaches. Everyone is still looking forward to seeing peaches at this time.

Li Shimin ordered someone to share it with everyone. After they took a bite, they felt that the peach tasted very delicious, exactly the same as the peaches they ate in summer, and the juice was sweeter.

They can still eat peaches at this time, which really makes them excited.

"Delicious, this canned peach is really delicious, just like the peaches eaten in summer, no, it should be more delicious."

"My lord, this thing can be preserved for such a long time, it is indeed very suitable for promotion in the army, and even in the whole Tang Dynasty."
