Chapter 34

Tai Chi Hall.

Cheng Yaojin jumped out and shouted: "Your Majesty, the border fortress is incredible and must be repaired, otherwise the soldiers can only carry their flesh and blood. They are all good men of our Tang Dynasty!"

Fang Xuanling came out and said, "Your Majesty, the national treasury is so tight that there is not much money or food that can be transferred."

Wei Zheng came out and said, "Your Majesty, the total repair project is too large. The world is peaceful and peaceful, and the people need to rest."

Cheng Yaojin said: "When the world is peaceful, the Turks are eyeing each other, can they make peace in the world?"

Yuchi Gong stepped out and said, "That is, the Turks in the north will go south at any time, so you must be careful!"

...

"Okay, stop quarrel!" Li Shimin said helplessly. In fact, these are all clichés. Everyone understands the situation on the border, and everyone understands the tension in the treasury.

The border fortress needs to be repaired, and the national treasury is tight and cannot allocate much money and grain, so we can only choose the most important fortress that needs to be repaired the most. Now we are just arguing.

Li Shimin pondered: "First come up with a plan, how much money can be allocated? Those fortresses need the most repair."

Cheng Yaojin said carelessly: "It's not that troublesome. It can be repaired in ten days and half a month after the local materials are collected. How much more money can it cost?"

Suddenly the entire hall became quiet, and everyone looked at Cheng Yaojin as if they were looking at a fool.

It was repaired in ten days and half a month? Do you think it was repairing a toilet?

The biggest reaction was Tang Jian, the Minister of Works: "Cheng Zhijie, are you dreaming? You can repair a fortress in ten days and half a month? How many civilians have to mobilize? Or do you still use materials on the spot? What materials are available for local?"

Cheng Yaojin stammered his neck and said, "Just as long as limestone and clay are enough, and there is no need to mobilize the civilians. Ten days and half a month are enough!"

The hall was silent for a moment, and then it exploded. They didn't expect that Cheng Yaojin could say such unsavvy words.

It shouldn't be. Cheng Yaojin is a knowledgeable person who travels around the world. How could he say such irrelevant stupid words?

Could it be that Yuchi Gong was beaten to death?

Yuchi Gong and other generals were also a little confused when they looked at Cheng Yaojin. Generally speaking, they were in a group, but now they didn't know what to say, because they also felt that Cheng Yaojin's words were too irrelevant.

I will really be regarded as a fool.

Tang Jian said speechlessly: "Why do you think the wall is used to repair the city wall? You also use only limestone and clay to use local materials!"

Cheng Yaojin shouted: "I, Cheng Yaojin, have experienced many battles. Do you think I am an ignorant child? As long as limestone and clay can repair the city walls, and they are very strong!"

Tang Jian said decisively: "Impossible!"

Cheng Yaojin snorted: "That's because your Ministry of Works is stupid and cannot do the trick! Your Ministry of Works doesn't mean others can't do it!"

Tang Jian suddenly jumped and said, "What? Our Ministry of Works is stupid? If you have the ability, do you use clay and limestone to repair it for us?"

Bang!

Li Shimin, who was sitting high on the imperial throne, slapped the imperial desk and the hall suddenly became quiet.

"Cheng Zhijie, can you really use clay and limestone to repair the city wall?" Li Shimin asked, with a hint of excitement in his voice.

If you can repair the city walls with only clay and limestone, that's a great deal! That means you don't have to mine quarries from afar, don't have to transport them hard, don't have to recruit civilians, and don't have to spend much money on grain!

Cheng Yaojin quickly bowed and said, "Your Majesty, it's not me who can do it, it's Su Cheng who can do it!"

Su Cheng?

The voice suddenly aroused a lot of discussion when it fell into the hall. Everyone is very familiar with this name because Su Cheng has become famous in Chang'an in recent days.

This is a great talent! I have written several poems that are worthy of all ages!

Moreover, this man also found rice seeds that could be ripe twice a year, made great contributions, and was named Ankangbo by the emperor. Of course, everyone thinks that this kid is lucky.

However, there is no doubt that Su Cheng is a talented man.

Of course, some people also know that Su Cheng brewed the sautum wine.

Could this kid have any other wonderful methods to repair the city wall with clay and limestone?

Everyone shook their heads slightly. Clay and limestone are not solid things, how could they be used to repair the city wall?

I used clay and limestone to repair the city wall, but I was afraid that a rain of arrows would collapse when it passed! This is not a joke, it is related to the life and death of countless soldiers!

"Su Cheng?" Li Shimin murmured softly. He didn't expect that Cheng Yaojin actually mentioned Su Cheng, which means that Su Cheng had a way to use clay and limestone to repair the city wall?

If it was Su Cheng's words, it would be much more reliable than Cheng Yaojin said! After all, this kid Su Cheng is a bit weird. His master's origin is mysterious, and the kid Su Cheng's methods are also somewhat mysterious.

Whether it is mysterious or not, if you can really use clay and limestone to repair the city wall, it will definitely be a great achievement!

Li Shimin felt both expectant and nervous, and shouted: "Xuan'an, Kangbo, Su Cheng saw you!"

Su Cheng stretched out of the bedroom, with two bellybands in his arms. He was a little surprised, where is Cheng Yaojin?

Why didn't Cheng Yaojin come to him?

Because with Cheng Yaojin's temperament, he would definitely go to the emperor in a hurry, but Su Cheng did not expect that there was no movement at all.

Do you don't believe that he can repair the city wall with clay and limestone?

Clay and limestone can make cement, and clay can also be burned into red bricks. That thing can definitely repair the city wall!

Not only can one repair the city walls, but one who can use cement and red bricks to make the boss, and being able to build bridges, roads and houses is definitely a drastic change for the Tang Dynasty!

This is much more meaningful than distilled liquor!

It’s just a pity that you may not see the antique courtyard in the future, with blue bricks and tiles everywhere...

Just as Su Cheng was thinking about it, Cheng Chumo and his group came hurriedly.

"Su Cheng, hurry up, the emperor summoned me!" He shouted excitedly from the far away from home, his tone full of envy. Although he could see the emperor often, he was all thanks to his father and had never been summoned by the emperor on his own initiative.

However, Su Cheng was summoned by the emperor repeatedly and often beaten by the emperor. It was so enviable.

Su Cheng looked up at the sun in a daze: "Isn't this the time for morning court?"

Eunuch Yao repeatedly said, "Oh, Master Ankang, hurry up. The emperor and the officials of cultural relics are still waiting in the hall!"

When I first met Su Cheng, Eunuch Yao concluded that this kid was dead. However, after the forty-fourth slam, the kid not only did not die but also jumped around, but now he has become a uncle.

Of course, what shocked him even more was that the kid beat Princess Gaoyang's butt yesterday, and he is still like nothing happened.

I can't afford to offend!

So Eunuch Yao's attitude is still very respectful.

"But I haven't had breakfast yet!" Su Cheng touched his stomach and muttered.
