194 Cement was born
After one night, it seemed that the title of bricklayer emperor was increasingly recognized by the capital. For this reason, some people were worried, some were secretly happy, and some people were just stubborn and hung up, and so on.
In the afternoon, in a teahouse, some people were drinking tea and chatting. Logically speaking, there were so many things happening in the capital this winter, so there was not much to talk about.
But there was a short man who looked at the teahouse and would talk about the topic of bricklayers. He looked very regretful, as if Emperor Chongzhen was already addicted to the mason's work and could not extricate himself. He asked others to discuss this topic and were taken to the ditch by him, all of whom were worried about the emperor's affairs.
"I want me to tell you, those three bricklayers deserve to die. They dare to seduce the emperor to be addicted to this. I know that one of them is called..."
Before this person could finish his words, a person suddenly rushed in from outside. He ignored the waiter's greetings and said loudly with surprise: "Don't talk here, go quickly, go to Tiananmen Square to have a look..."
The short man recognized that this person was a tea shop who had been away for a while. After being told by him, he was very moved by the emperor. He was a little curious and immediately interrupted and asked, "What are you going to see? What are you looking at? You're still building a foundation there!"
The man was not angry when he saw him interrupting his words. The surprise expression on his face remained unchanged. There was something more, as if he wanted everyone present to understand his mood at this time: "We have misunderstood the emperor, go and have a look. The emperor spent a few days to invent something called cement for the construction of the Ming Zhonglie Hall. Wow, that thing is really good! Go quickly..."
"What? The emperor called the bricklayer to invent things for the construction of the Ming Zhonglie Hall?" Someone was surprised, "What is cement?"
Not long after, a large group of people rushed out of the teahouse, and the short man was among them. He took the opportunity to run away and even saved money on tea.
On the street, I saw people rushing to Tiananmen Square from time to time, and it was like a stream converging into a river. There was not much time, and many people gathered in the square. They all looked at everything in front of them in surprise, feeling a little incredible.
Iron bars were inserted into the foundation, and the craftsmen poured the concrete mixed with sand and gravel into it. It seemed that there was something inside, not the ordinary mix. They poured it on the foundation without any other things.
There was a part of the place that had already exposed the ground, and looked at a wall, piled up by sand and gravel, with iron bars inserted inside. Logically speaking, this thing could not be piled up and should be dispersed, but it didn't look like it at all.
People who came here earlier, either showed their knowledge or wanted to gain a sense of accomplishment from others, introduced the situation of the construction site there to the people around them.
"Look, that's cement, the kind they use to bond sand and gravel, and the bonding of bricks over there is also cement. I tell you, this kind of thing is comparable to Sanhe soil, and it is even more than enough, and it has many benefits."
"Do you know how this came about? If a relative of me wasn't working in it, you just happened to know that you would never guess!"
"What, do you think this cement is bad? OK, then I'll talk to you about the benefits of this cement!"
"You should know that the emperor attaches great importance to the Ming Zhonglie Tang, there is no doubt about this? Then the emperor considered that the Zhonglie Tang was allowed to burn incense and pay homage to all the people of the Ming Dynasty. What is the most important thing among them? Fire prevention! Yes, you must be careful of water!"
"The emperor is worried that it is unreliable to use wood. After thinking about it for a few days, the cement will be found. Think about it, this entire Zhonglie Hall is built with sand and gravel. Can it not be fire-proof? The emperor has made good efforts!"
“…”
This excited propaganda appeared around the construction site of Zhonglietang, spreading from ten to ten, and then the people in Tiananmen Square knew about this situation.
At the beginning, many people were a little worried about the new thing of cement, for fear that it would collapse after being repaired. But as they looked, they found that using this cement was not only stronger, but also the construction speed could be described as rapid speed.
This time, the onlookers exploded. The cement was so good! Until dark, the onlookers had to disperse because of the curfew. As they left, there was a magical building material called cement, which spread out.
This time, if someone dares to say that the current emperor may be the same as the previous emperor, someone will immediately go up and fight. After all, this is completely different from the previous emperor.
The late emperor liked to do carpenters and ignored state affairs for the sake of what he liked alone. But the current emperor studied the work of a bricklayer for the sake of the Zhonglie Hall of the Ming Dynasty and specially invented a very useful cement, which was very different from the difference.
It can be foreseen that this kind of cement will bring great changes to the Ming Dynasty. Or in the final analysis, what the emperor did was not for himself. The things he made were not hidden only in the palace, but would benefit the people of the world.
The next morning, those who rushed to see the truth after hearing the news were even more shocked. They had seen such a fast construction speed, but in just one night, the prototype of the front hall of the Ming Zhonglie Hall had already been erected.
The businessmen in the onlookers were even more lit up. They noticed the business opportunities in the crowd and began to inquire about how this cement was made, how much the cost, etc.
However, they were soon disappointed because they had nothing to find. It was precisely because of this that the cement became more mysterious, and the emperor who invented it also became more respectful in the hearts of the people in the capital.
However, at noon, another army of royal guards arrived one after another, which attracted the attention of the people in the capital.
These royal soldiers were ordered to go to Shanhaiguan and obeyed Sun Chengzong's orders. Basically, they did not make much contribution in this battle of the capital, but only showed their loyalty. Therefore, their arrival did not cause a sensation like Lu Xiangsheng, the royal army.
At this time, the number of soldiers who arrived at the capital was almost 20,000. If the soldiers who were stationed in Tongzhou were not wiped out, there might have been more troops to the capital.
In the next few days, it is expected that the army of the kings will gather in the capital, which makes the capital so idle that some people begin to comment on the matter and comment on the army of the kings, and the focus will eventually be on the three army of the kings.
