"Congratulations to Ping Liao!"

"Congratulations to the Holy Emperor!"

"Congratulations to the Ming Dynasty!"

The wine glasses were clinking together, and Chen Zilong and others drank them all, looking at each other and laughing happily.

Xu Fuyuan, Xia Yunyi, Chen Zilong, Wang Jizhong and others gathered together to have a drink, which was both a celebration and a farewell.

Chen Zilong had received an appointment from the court and was temporarily appointed as the left-ranking party in Liaodong and was appointed as the admiral to persuade farmers. After the New Year, he would go to Liaodong with the governor Wu Yongxian to coordinate the planning of spring farming.

"Although Liaodong has been deserted and turbulent after war, it is a fertile land that can be achieved by fertile land thousands of miles away." Chen Zilong was in a very good mood and was full of confidence.

He has not passed the imperial examination and is still young, but he came to Beijing to study for a chance. In just a few years, he has become a fourth-rank official position. There is a broad world for him to let him do it. This is a good opportunity to make achievements and display his ambitions.

Everyone laughed and said, Xia Yunyi asked, "Brother Renzhong discussed matters in Liaodong with Governor Wu these days, so how can we get along with each other?"

Chen Zilong smiled and said, "The farming has been delivered to Yu. It is not only Lord Wu's trust, but also the title of mentor. After hearing what Lord Wu said, there is also a long life explanation."

"How can Governor Wu not believe in the honor if he can get a relative of the emperor?" Xu Fuyuan said: "Without Lord Xu's reputation, it is natural for agriculture to explain to Brother Zhong."

Wang Jizhong said: "Liberation of Liaodong is the most important thing. If you can be self-sufficient one day earlier, it will be a great achievement for Brother Chen."

Chen Zilong nodded repeatedly. He had already made plans for this and his teacher Xu Guangqi's suggestions were quite confident.

"If Liaodong wants to be self-sufficient, the court will no longer have to transport food from a distance. How much money will it save?" Xu Fuyuan said: "Based on Liaodong, the army can plow the courtyard and sweep the caves, hit the Huanglong directly, and completely destroy Jiannu."

Chen Zilong gently stroked his forehead and said, "There are new crops such as rye, potatoes, corn, etc. Next spring, there will be another army to help cultivate land and farm. If there is no major disaster, there is no need for the court to adjust grain in the autumn. But we have to support tens of thousands of troops to expedition to Haixi. It is believed that there will be another year of reserves for farming, which may be possible."

"No matter what, Brother Chen does his best to make achievements in rebuilding Liaodong." Xu Fuyuan raised his glass and said, "Congratulations to Brother Chen!"

"Thank you, thank you brothers." Chen Zilong raised his glass, smiled, and drank another glass with everyone.

Everyone was drinking and eating, and chatting enthusiastically. Most of the topics were still in Liaodong and the victory of Liaoning.

There is no way, the success of pacifying Liao is not only a big news, but also an exciting moment. The most vicious foreign enemy in the past decade has been defeated and can enjoy peace again, and the whole country is happy and happy.

"Jianlu seemed to be defeated in an instant, but it was also surprising when he was excited." Wang Ji put down his chopsticks and said, "Do you feel this way?"

Chen Zilong nodded and said, "It has only been more than a year since I went to Liaoxi to inspect. I really didn't expect that Liaodong would be pacified so soon. However, at that time, the Jianlu had already shown signs of decline. Under the blockade on all sides, there was a very shortage of food and supplies."

"When it comes to food, supplies, weapons and equipment, I think it is the key to pacifying Liao." Xu Fuyuan said: "It is the supply of the whole country that our Ming army has strong combat power. The expenses listed in the newspapers are tens of millions."

"No matter how much money it costs, it is worth completing the great cause of pacifying Liao." Xia Yunyi said: "The Jianlu suffered heavy casualties and escaped from the north. There must be another ten years of peace and stability."

"Ten years are the least." Chen Zilong smiled and said, "You are studying in the Academy of Sciences and don't know much about the situation. Tens of thousands of elite soldiers are in charge, and the artillery, muskets and cavalry are fierce. Even if the Jianlu and Northern Gate collude, they are also delusional to invade."

"The artillery should be crushing the Jianlu Beilu." Xu Fuyuan agreed with this and said, "The number is still increasing, I know this."

Wang Ji nodded and said, "I heard that the Liao people around the capital are all ready to return home. The court should also introduce policies to restore the population of Liaodong as soon as possible and expand the cultivated land as much as possible."

Xia Yunyi pointed out the window and smiled and said, "The girl who sells roasted sweet potatoes outside, who sells thirsty water in summer is from Liaodong. Didn't you hear her shouting when you came? After the New Year, they will no longer be in the capital."

Chen Zilong said with a smile: "When I came, I heard that, I took care of her business and gave her a few more copper coins to help her get back home."

"Brother Chen may still meet her in Liaodong!" Xu Fuyuan joked: "Because he is a commoner under Brother Chen's rule, he has more family farming land, and he also adds some credit to Brother Chen."

"In addition to farming, there is still a lot of work!" Chen Zilong glanced at several friends and said, "For example, paving roads and building bridges, building houses, building water conservancy, mining and manufacturing, etc. Do you intend to go to Liaodong?"

Several people looked at each other with a heart-warming expression, but they were still a little hesitant.

"If--" Wang Jizhong touched his chin and said with regret: "If cement is successfully developed, it would be of great use in Liaodong."

Xu Fuyuan nodded and said, "Actually, it's not much different from success. Moreover, even if you can't be very satisfied, it's much better than the materials you used before."

"Brother Shen doesn't know if he can give me some advice." Xia Yunyi frowned slightly and said, "The letter has been handed over, he should have received it, right?"

China has a long history, and has made brilliant achievements and made important contributions in the process of creating human civilization.

The development process of ancient architectural cementitious materials started from "white gray surface" and yellow mud, developed to lime and "three-combination soil", and then to lime-adjusted gelling materials mixed with organic matter.

Ancient Chinese architectural cementitious materials have had their own brilliant history. In the process of basically developing in parallel with ancient Western architectural cementitious materials, they appear slightly better due to the widespread use of gelling materials that combine lime and organic matter.

However, the development of ancient Chinese architectural cementitious materials, after reaching the stage of lime-administered organic matter, stopped moving forward and failed to take another step at this basis.

Ancient Western architectural cementitious materials continued to develop on the basis of "Roman mortar", constantly improved in the direction of modern cement, and finally invented cement.

As the "grain" of the building, cement is naturally within the emperor's plan.

Moreover, the initial cement, namely clay and hydraulic lime made of limestone, has been successfully developed by the Academy of Sciences, with performance exceeding "Roman mortar" and is only one step away from Portland cement.

The key is that the emperor only knows the formula and does not know where to find natural marl or raw materials called cement limestone.

Moreover, he does not know the exact firing temperature. The quality of the products produced in this way will not be stable, and it is easy to cause accidents due to the cement quality.

Therefore, cement will be released at night, and repeated experiments are required to find out the temperature and optimal ratio.

In the emperor's opinion, hydraulic lime can also be promoted and used. Especially the characteristics of seawater erosion resistance, construction of lighthouses and other projects that come into contact with water can play a great role.
