Zhenguan Leisurely King

Chapter 107 Preparing to Burn Cement
After playing a shooting game once, Li Tai excitedly ran to Wang Ping'an and shouted that he had enjoyed the game, but Wang Pingan told him that there are many modes and scenes that can be set in this game, which aroused Li Tai's interest again.

"What? There are other modes and scenarios. Then tell me quickly." Li Tai said a little excitedly.

"Ping An, since you have other modes and scenarios, please tell us quickly." Lu Songjun just finished watching this game, and he also wanted to play a game. It's unbearable.

Wang Pingan saw the excited faces of Li Tai and Lu Songjun, as well as the faces of the guards who did not participate in this duel, showing their annoyance for not participating in this duel and anticipation for the next time.

This made Wang Ping'an's face twitch, and he said: "Since everyone wants to know, let me reveal a little bit. Just now, what you are playing is that you can continue to die and resurrect within a specified time. This is a mode, and there is another mode. The mode is that you cannot be resurrected after death, you have to fight until all the people on one side are dead, and then start the second round, within the specified time, you can play as many rounds as you want..."

Wang Pingan also told Lu Songjun and others that shooting games can be divided into team mode, mixed mode, infinite death mode, etc. The scenes can be divided into mountain scenes, indoor scenes, street scenes, grassland scenes, etc.

Lu Songjun and others who listened were extremely excited and eager to try, wishing to play every mode and every scene.

Wang Pingan looked at everyone's eager expressions, and knew that the shooting game would be very popular in the future, and it would definitely become popular in the whole Tang Dynasty and even the whole world.

"What a shooting game, I didn't expect this game to have so many modes and scenes, and the art of war can also be applied to shooting games. This game not only allows individuals to increase their proficiency in the use of bows and arrows, but also allows others to have fun Learning the art of war is really killing two birds with one stone, I must report the content of this game to the imperial court." Lu Songjun said excitedly.

"That's right, when the time comes, this king and Mr. Lu will jointly write a letter to the court." Li Tai agreed casually.

"It's up to Brother Tai and Uncle Lu to arrange it yourself. We still have important matters to discuss." Wang Pingan said.

"What's important?" Lu Songjun and Li Tai asked at the same time.

"It's understandable that Uncle Lu didn't know, but how could you not know, Brother Tai?" Wang Pingan looked at Li Taidao with a face full of surprise.

Li Tai scratched his head, and said, "I was too absorbed in playing just now and forgot, please remind me Ping An, I will definitely remember."

Wang Pingan was speechless in comparison, and said, "Cement."

As soon as Wang Ping'an exited, Li Tai came over immediately and said, "I understand, Master Lu, you come with me. Everyone else stays in the front yard."

"Yes."

Lu Songjun followed Li Tai into Wang Pingan's study in doubt, and of course Wang Pingan also followed them.

After entering the study, Li Tai directly sat in the first seat, with Lu Songjun and Wang Pingan standing on both sides.

"Lord Lu, safe, please sit down."

"Thank you, Your Highness King Wei." Lu Songjun said respectfully.

"okay."

Compared to Lu Songjun's respect, Wang Ping'an was much more casual. Lu Songjun just frowned slightly and didn't say much. He didn't see that King Wei didn't say anything, so why should he talk too much.

After the two of them sat down, Li Tai said, "Lord Lu, this time we are safely building a tourist resort and leisure village. We have invented something called cement, and we need your cooperation."

"Your Highness, please go ahead and order, but I'm just curious, what is cement and what is its magical effect?" Lu Songjun asked respectfully.

"Cement is something invented by my nephew. It is used to build roads and bridges. It can make the roads built are not afraid of water and fire. They are invulnerable and hard as stone. There will be no muddy roads in rainy days, and no traces of dust will be blown by strong winds. Use cement A built house is stronger than a wooden one, and a thatched house is not worthy of wearing shoes in front of it." Wang Ping'an talked eloquently.

"Ping An, don't joke. Do you know how much silver taels the entire Tang Dynasty spends every year to repair the official road? If the cement you invented is so effective, how much silver taels can the Tang Dynasty save every year?" Lu Songjun said excitedly.

"I don't know about this, but my cement is very useful. If it wasn't because the cement was very important to the court, my nephew would have fired it by himself, so why should I tell you any more?" Wang Pingan said disdainfully.

Seeing that Wang Ping'an didn't seem to be talking big, Lu Songjun became excited again, stood up and saluted Li Tai and said, "His Royal Highness, the lower officials are dull, and I don't know how to cooperate with lower officials to burn cement."

"Ask Ping An, since it came up with it, he must know what to do better than us." Li Tai said, throwing the ball to Wang Pingan.

Lu Songjun looked at Ping An and said, "Ping An, how do you want the old man to cooperate with you?"

Wang Pingan said: "It's actually very simple. My nephew needs an official kiln for cement firing, and then Uncle Pinlu will send someone to manage it, and he will also send troops to protect the official kiln. It is strictly forbidden to sell the cement to others, especially foreigners. .”

"Why, this is a good thing that benefits the country and the people, and it can also increase the country's income. Why can't you buy it for other people?" Lu Songjun looked at Wang Ping'an very puzzled.

"Lord Lu, you are so stupid, didn't you hear what Ping'an said just now?" Before Wang Ping'an could answer, Li Tai jumped up and started cursing.

The corners of Lu Songjun's mouth twitched, and he thought to himself: "You are a little furry boy who hasn't even grown a hair yet, and you actually said that the old man is stupid, and that the old man has eaten more salt than you have eaten."

However, the high-ranking officials crushed people to death, not to mention Li Tai returned to the prince, so he said: "The officials are stupid, please make it clear to His Royal Highness King Wei."

Li Tai looked at Lu Song Jun with a look of hatred for iron and steel: "You forgot, Ping An said that a house built with cement is as hard as a rock, invulnerable to weapons, fire and water, if the cement is bought by the enemy country, they will use it to pour the city wall what to do?"

Li Tai said half of what he said, and he planned to let Lu Songjun understand the rest.

After listening to Li Tai's words, Lu Songjun's heart thumped, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead, and he said, "Thank you, Your Highness, King Wei, for your reminder, Thank you, Your Highness, King Wei, for your reminder."

After listening to Li Tai's words, Lu Songjun already thought that if he sells the cement to the enemy country, the other party will definitely use cement to build the city wall. When our army wants to attack other countries, it will add a lot of trouble. If you don't think about it, you will be suspected of being an enemy, and you will be afraid after thinking about it.

"Hmph, it's good that you know. You are responsible for the safety issues, and you will arrange the records. The production issues will be handled by Ping An. Remember how much cement is produced every day, and how much cement is used needs to be recorded." Li Tai reminded again.

"Yes, I understand." Lu Songjun replied respectfully.

"Well, do you have anything else to order?"

Li Tai's expression was quicker than flipping through a book, he scolded Lu Songjun sternly, and he had a playful smile on Wang Ping'an.

"I don't have anything to say, but I have a few points to reiterate. First, we can't let other people know that what we make is cement. We can only tell the people in the official kiln that this is what the court needs. Second, cement cannot If it touches water or cement, it must be used as soon as possible, otherwise it will be useless. Third, it is a transportation problem. At that time, please ask Du Sigong and the others to transport it, because everyone in the official kiln knows Du Sigong and them." Wang Pingan analyzed. .

"It's easy to do. I'll arrange it when I get back. What else do I need to prepare?" Lu Songjun asked.

"Yes, that is the problem of raw materials. Uncle Lu asks you to purchase limestone, iron slag, clay and gypsum in Luoyang. These are all used for burning cement."

"No problem, I'll send someone to buy it when I get back. Is there anything else you want to buy?"

Wang Pingan shook his head and said, "Not anymore."

"Okay, the old man will go back and instruct his subordinates to handle this matter now." Lu Songjun turned to Li Taiyiji and said, "His Royal Highness King Wei, I will make arrangements for the Governor's Mansion right now."

When Wang Pingan saw Lu Songjun, he knew that he was a man of action. After listening to his own arrangement, he wanted to go back and arrange it early.

"Uncle Lu, my nephew will go back with you too. The construction of the tourist resort and leisure village can only be officially started after the cement is fired first." Wang Pingan said.

"Ping'an is right, we all go back to Luoyang together." Li Tai echoed.
