Nuclear Warlord

Chapter 316 Your Majesty is a little absent-minded today
In order to advance the nuclear weapons program as soon as possible, Li Changfeng has been going to the scientific research institute every day for the past few days to guide the manufacture of cement plant equipment and the construction of brick factories on site.

The brick factory is relatively simple. Since it does not use machines, it is a labor-intensive industry, and it was built and put into use soon.

Even if he watched it personally, the pass rate of the first batch of red bricks was less than [-]%, and more than half of them could not be used.

Li Changfeng picked out the qualified products and summed up the experience on the spot. The pass rate of the second batch of red bricks reached [-]%.

Now, Li Changfeng let go of it and devoted his energy to the construction of the cement plant.

Naturally, what he did could not hide the truth from Emperor Ganwu.

Seeing that he didn't go to the Ministry of Railways or the air force base for such a long time, Emperor Qianwu was a little angry, so he called him to the imperial study room to reprimand him.

"How long has it been since you went to the Ministry of Railways? I don't care about the Air Force construction. What are you busy with all day?"

Li Changfeng said helplessly: "The railway construction standards are there, and there are special people watching, so there is no need to go every day, right? As for the Air Force, isn't there Jianye?"

Emperor Ganwu was furious: "Is it reasonable for you to be a hands-off shopkeeper? Why did you burn that clod of soil recently? Could it be that that thing can make money?"

"Father, don't look down on those clods of soil, they will turn into red bricks after being burned, which will be very effective."

"Hmph! A pile of mud will still turn into mud after being burned, so what's the use?"

Emperor Qianwu was full of disdain, not believing what Li Changfeng said.

Reluctantly, Li Changfeng explained to Emperor Qianwu about the defects of today's Dagan building materials and the advantages of red bricks, and then focused on explaining him to the cement.

In order for Emperor Qianwu to understand its advantages more intuitively, Li Changfeng said that the walls made of just concrete structures cannot be blasted even by artillery.

Emperor Qianwu was shocked when he heard this: "Can't even explode the artillery?! How is this possible?"

Li Changfeng said helplessly: "Father, do you think my minister will lie to you?"

Emperor Qianwu was just a little surprised, and didn't doubt it. He was used to Li Changfeng creating miracles again and again.

He realized the importance of concrete. If it is used in the construction of the city wall, it will become an unstoppable existence. Whether it is used to resist foreign lands or evil beasts, it will have an irreplaceable role.

This is simply transformative creation.

You must know that with the current technology, a large amount of glutinous rice paste is needed to build a strong city wall, which is costly and wastes food.

The emergence of cement will end all this.

Red bricks will greatly shorten the construction time of the building.

"Okay! Get the cement factory out as soon as possible. When the reinforced concrete structure you mentioned is built, I want to see for myself whether it is really so hard!"

seeing is believing.

He has already decided that if it is really as hard as Li Changfeng said, then he will use this method to rebuild the walls of the palace first.

The next step is the capital city wall.

Emperor Qianwu even began to look forward to the scene where the whole Dagan was impregnable.

Li Changfeng smiled and said: "Don't worry, father, although the profit of cement and red bricks is small, the future consumption will definitely be huge. It is a big profitable business, and I must get it out as soon as possible."

Emperor Qianwu laughed and scolded: "You know money in your head all day, and you don't do anything serious. You have to have some snacks for the railway and air force."

……

After leaving the palace, Li Changfeng went to the railway construction site to have a look.

As for the air force base, Li Changfeng didn't even bother to go.

The so-called air force construction now is nothing more than improving some shortcomings of hot air balloons exposed in the last war and making more hot air balloons.

Li Jianye is more concerned about this matter than he is.

However, he remembered another thing, which was the production of steel bars.

He went to the steel factory and made arrangements for the production of steel bars before returning home.

In the blink of an eye, a month has passed.

For such a long time, the red bricks produced by the brick factory have piled up like mountains.

Li Changfeng did not deliberately publicize this matter, nor did he order to block the news. It gradually spread among the people that this is a new type of building material, which has attracted many people's attention.

But the movement is not very big.

After repeated experiments, the cement factory finally produced qualified cement.

Li Changfeng ordered people to bring cement, sand, stone and steel bars to build a simple mold with wooden boards, and poured a wall about two meters high and half a meter thick in the artillery camp.

Since it was summer, it was completely dry in nine days, so Li Changfeng reported the matter to Emperor Qianwu.

This morning.

Chen Dingyuan, Minister of the Household Department, is reporting to Emperor Qianwu.

"Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the Ninth Prince of Dagan has now become the largest taxpayer in Dagan, with a total tax payment of more than 58 taels last month. It is no exaggeration to say that His Royal Highness the Ninth Prince has become the pillar of my Dagan's finances! "

Hearing this, the ministers had different expressions.

There is surprise.

There are concerns.

The most is jealousy.

Surprised, because Li Changfeng can pay so much tax in a month.

The worry is because Li Changfeng has such financial resources that he has reached the point where he can influence the court.

Jealousy is easy to understand. Can Li Changfeng not be jealous when he is so rich?
But Emperor Qianwu didn't seem to listen to anything, he was a little distracted and didn't know what he was thinking.

"His Majesty?"

Chen Dingyuan made a reminder.

Emperor Ganwu came back to his senses and asked, "Have you finished?"

"Yes, Your Majesty."

"You dear ladies, do you have anything else to play?"

The officials looked at me and I looked at you, but didn't speak.

"Since there is nothing wrong, all my loves will follow me to the Artillery Camp."

The Artillery Battalion has always been extremely well protected. Although the South and North Wars have made extraordinary achievements, none of the soldiers on the front lines have seen it with their own eyes.

Even the old general Ye Qing is the same.

So when Emperor Ganwu said this, everyone's eyes lit up.

They all thought it was to show them the power of artillery, which they had been curious about for too long.

Emperor Qianwu got up and took two steps, then stopped suddenly.

"Is Gu Tiancheng and Gu Aiqing here?"

Gu Tiancheng, Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry, hastily bowed: "Yes, Your Majesty."

"It's good to be here, let's go."

Emperor Qianwu nodded and walked out of the hall first.

Gu Tiancheng looked bewildered.

Didn't you go to the Artillery Battalion? This matter has something to do with the Ministry of War. Why did His Majesty suddenly ask if he was there?

Chen Dingyuan, Minister of the Household Department, came forward and asked, "Why did Your Majesty suddenly ask you?"

"How would I know."

"Your Majesty is a little absent-minded today, and I don't know what happened."

Gu Tiancheng thought for a while and said, "It probably has something to do with the Artillery Battalion."

Emperor Ganwu didn't say anything, and the officials didn't dare to ask, so they could only follow with doubts.

The emperor led all the civil and military officials out of the city, and there was a lot of movement, which aroused the attention of everyone in the capital.

When they learned that they had gone to the Artillery Battalion, they became even more curious.
