Capital Datang

Li Shimin, who was meditating, suddenly heard Li Yin's words, his eyes narrowed slightly, he turned and stared at Li Yin and said, "Min'er, I won't pursue the previous matter, but now we are talking about military and national affairs, and it is not that you can participate in it without authorization." Yes, back down quickly!"

Li Shimin waved his hand at this point. Although the altitude sickness that Li Yin just explained helped him a favor, in Li Shimin's view, it was just a coincidence, and he didn't change his view of Li Yin from the bottom of his heart, so he didn't believe Li Yin could do it. Is there any good way to fix the road.

Li Ke also pulled Li Yin's clothes quietly behind Li Yin's back, signaling Li Yin to stop talking. After all, as princes, it would be very detrimental to them if they were caught talking about government affairs. He was taken aback when he got up and explained the altitude sickness, but he didn't expect Li Yin to jump out again this time.

"Father, what I want to talk about is not a major military matter. After all, I don't understand these things, but I know that there is one thing. If you use it to build roads, it is not only convenient and cheap, but also durable. If the rock is not afraid of water and fire, even if the road is flooded by the flood, as long as the water is not too deep, you can still walk without any harm." Li Yin bowed again and saluted.

"Oh? There is such a thing in this world?" Li Shimin was also aroused by Li Yin's words.Fang Xuanling and others below also looked at Li Yin with great interest. They are now full of curiosity about Li Yin, and they don't understand what amazing move this unexpected King of Liang is going to do?Capital Datang 33

"My father, this thing is called cement. It is made of several very common materials. It is usually like gray flour. When it is used, it is mixed with water, sand, and gravel, and then spread on the road. After a few days It will turn into a slate-like cement pavement, the hardness is almost the same as that of real stone, even if it is soaked in water for several years, it will not hurt." Li Yin was very satisfied with the reaction of everyone, and he used the new invention of cement Speak out.

"Okay, my son, you can make some samples as soon as possible, and I will check them with all the lovers!" Li Shimin patted the table excitedly. Although he hadn't seen the real thing yet, but only listened to Li Yin's introduction, Li Shimin was already sensitive. I noticed the great significance of the appearance of cement.

"Your servant obeys!" Li Yin immediately got up and took the order.Making cement is really not difficult for Li Yin. In his previous life, he worked everywhere to make a living. He once stayed in a small unlicensed cement factory for a month. Later, he couldn't bear the dusty environment in the factory and worked all day. They are all cement blocks, which cannot be washed off, so after a month of dry work, they pay the money and leave. Li Yin still remembers most of the cement materials and firing process, so for the cement produced in Datang, He is still very confident.

Fang Xuanling and the others were noncommittal about the cement. Although they believed that Li Yin would not dare to lie about such a big matter, they hadn't seen the real thing yet and didn't know how the cement would perform, so they all kept silent.

Next, Li Yin proposed to Li Shimin that he needed some craftsmen to help him, but Li Shimin, with a swipe of a pen, directly appointed Li Yin as the supervisor of cement manufacturing, temporarily managed the supervisor, and had the right to use all the manpower and material resources of the supervisor.The name Superintendent is pleasant, but in fact it is only a temporary official position. There is no record in the Ministry of History in charge of official promotion, and there is no grade. After the cement is made, it will be automatically dismissed.

Li Yin accepted the order happily, and then Li Shimin drove him and Li Ke out of the hall, and ordered him to go to the general supervisor immediately to make the cement as soon as possible.

As soon as he walked out of the main hall, Li Ke grabbed Li Min and asked anxiously: "Sixth brother, are you really sure that you can make cement? It doesn't matter if we mess around a little, but in these military and state affairs, we must be careful." You can't mess around!"

"Hehe, don't worry third brother, isn't it just a small piece of cement? Didn't I make a new type of tea and distilled wine before?" Li Yin said with a smile on his face, "Other brothers can't guarantee it, but we can talk about it." When it comes to making these novel items, I dare say that in the entire Tang Dynasty, absolutely no one is better than me."

In terms of inventions, Li Yin is definitely full of confidence. He comes from later generations and has more than 1000 years of knowledge than the people of Datang. Coupled with the experience and technology accumulated by later generations working around, isn't it easy to invent something new?

"This..." Li Ke still hesitated. After all, this is not a trivial matter. If Li Yin fails to do it, it will be very unfavorable to Li Yin if he is caught by someone who wants to do it.

"Third brother, otherwise you will follow me all the time, see what my brother is doing wrong, and give me some pointers?" Seeing that Li Ke still didn't believe it, Li Yin could only say helplessly.

"That's fine, I have an acquaintance at Jiang Zuojian, I can introduce you to him." Li Ke's eyes suddenly lit up, and he remembered a person, and said very happily at the moment.Li Yin was sweating profusely. He didn't expect that Li Ke really had a wide range of exchanges, and he could meet people everywhere.

It was just after noon, and the days were long in June, so it was still early, so Li Ke and Li Yin rushed to the general prison together.Jiang Zuojian is located in the imperial city, go out of Taiji Palace, pass Chengtian Gate and turn right, next to the palace wall is Jiang Zuojian.There will be supervisors in charge of civil construction. There will be two master craftsmen from the third rank and two young supervisors from the fourth rank. There are two Shulings and one Shucheng.

When they arrived at the general prisoner, they saw that the general prisoner was already waiting for them. They probably had received Li Shimin's order, but Li Yin was spared to explain.

"The general supervisor, Yu Wenhu, has met His Royal Highness Shu Wang and Liang Wang!" The young black-faced official who led them saluted.

"Haha~, Brother Yuwen, don't play with these false gifts between you and me!" Li Min was about to return the gift, but he didn't expect Li Ke to go up and punch Yu Wenhu, and smiled intimately.

Only then did Li Yin suddenly realize that the acquaintance Li Ke knew turned out to be the master craftsman who will be the prisoner. No wonder Li Ke insisted on introducing himself. With the help of this brother Yuwen, he could indeed relax a lot.

"Come on Liulang, let me introduce you. This is my good brother Yu Wenhu. His grandfather is Yu Wenkai, a master builder in the former dynasty. Brother Yuwen has a long history of education. The true biography of the senior." Li Ke beckoned to pull Li Min, and patted Yu Wenhu on the shoulder to introduce him.

Yu Wenkai in Li Ke's mouth is a great man. He was born in a family of military generals and heroes. He has read a lot of books since he was a child. He is proficient in the laws and regulations of the past dynasties and a variety of craftsmanship. He personally designed the construction of many big cities, such as Chang'an and Luoyang. The famous big cities were all created by him, and he also participated in the design of the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal. It can be said that Yu Wenkai was involved in almost all the large-scale projects during the Sui Dynasty.Capital Datang 33

"Hehe, I heard the third brother mention Brother Yuwen's name a long time ago, but it's a pity that I have never met each other. I didn't expect to meet today because of business. I must get drunk with Brother Yuwen another day." Li Yin also hurriedly came up to make friends. Ke will not expose him.

"His Royal Highness Liang Wang is very polite. I have really admired His Highness for a long time. Now in the whole Chang'an City, who doesn't know Li Liuying's name?" Yu Wenhu was also very polite. When meeting Li Yin for the first time, he still didn't dare to be too presumptuous.

Li Yin likes others to praise him the most, and he has a good impression of Yu Wenhu at the moment.The two flattered each other a few more words before turning to the topic.

"Brother Yuwen, this time my father sent me to burn cement. Other things are easy to handle, but the personnel selected must be able to keep secrets. The younger brother is not familiar with the general prison, so I have to thank Brother Yuwen for this. "Li Yin didn't want to be leaked as soon as he figured out the firing method of cement, and he was still counting on this to make money.

"Don't worry, Your Highness, I will personally select the trustworthy people!" Yu Wenhu patted his chest to assure, but soon frowned and asked, "But we have never seen such things as cement, so I don't know if Your Highness needs it." What kind of manpower and materials can the lower officials prepare for?"

Li Yin thought about it for a while, and then said: "Well, I wonder if there is a craftsman who can make lime or ceramics as the supervisor? The firing of cement is actually very simple, and anyone who can make lime or ceramics should be able to do it. "

"Hehe, there are many of these two kinds of craftsmen prisons, which belong to the right school office and Zhenguan office, which will be the general prisons. The next official can find them immediately." Yu Wenhu was relieved after hearing this. He was still worried about Li It is too difficult to find the craftsmen required by Yan. Didn't expect the firing requirements of cement to be so low?

"Okay, brother Yuwen, please prepare some limestone, clay, iron slag and gypsum, these are the materials for firing cement." Li Yin then ordered again.

"Don't worry, Your Highness, I'll go get ready now, Your Highness, please wait in the hall!" Yu Wenhu is worthy of being a technical background, a typical actionist, and left immediately after listening to Li Yin's orders, and put Li Yin on the ground. Yin and Li Ke stayed in the hall of his official office.

"Hehe, Brother Yuwen is still the same. He does everything in a rush, and he doesn't delay for a moment." Li Ke knew Yuwenhu's character for a long time, and said to Li Yin with a smile.

"Brother Yuwen is a person who does practical things, and only a person like him can be qualified for the position of the general supervisor." Li Yin admires Yu Wenhu very much, and there are more types of craftsmen in the general prison than in his family. If he wants to do new things in the future, it is estimated that he will have to deal with Yu Wenhu.

The two sat in the hall for a while, feeling a little bored. Li Ke was restless, so he stood up and walked around the hall a few times, then walked to a corner of the hall skillfully, opened a small hidden door and asked Li Yin He beckoned and said, "Sixth brother, come and take a look at the novelty made by the supervisor, there are many good things in it!". ..
