Early the next morning, Liu Mingqi was still exercising there, so Zhao Shou walked into the yard.

As the emperor's confidant, Zhao Shou naturally had some privileges when he went to the prince's mansion and could come in by himself after reporting.

Seeing Liu Mingqi still exercising with his shirtless in the cold winter, Zhao Shou gave him a thumbs up: "Your Highness, the most self-disciplined prince that I have seen in Lao Nu is you, besides Prince Yi! No wonder you can persist in Jinzhou City in such a dangerous situation!"

Although Zhao Shou has no son, his personality is absolutely not extreme.

His praise did not make Liu Mingqi angry that he was praised by the eunuch.

The boy put down the two stone locks in his hand, then slowly let out a sigh, and then smiled: "Eunuch Zhao, you came here so early, it must be that the concrete floor over there has been a fruit, right?"

"Hey, yes!"

Speaking of this, Zhao Shou gave a thumbs up again, "At the fifth day of the day, Ge Xiang hurried into the palace, and then Zhou Shangshu... They saw that the concrete ground had completely solidified and hardened, and they specially found a strong man to hit it hard! The sound was deafening, and the emperor and the old slave could hear it while walking.

What did you think? They pounded for a long time before they could hammer half of the concrete floor, but the broken stones were still very hard. Xiong said, this was almost as hard as the huge rock they threw down from the top of the Jinzhou city wall!"

"That's!"

Liu Mingqi smiled.

Cement is also an important symbol of changing an era.

Even modern buildings are mostly made of cement.

There are basically not many buildings made of steel plates like the United States, after 9/11.

This means that Dakang's iron production is not enough, so he is reluctant to build steel frames first, then pour cement concrete into the frame and lay it into the pavement.

Otherwise, even three hundred years later, the concrete road surface will not be outdated and will withstand the crushing of various vehicles.

"Your Highness, if you have done it, why don't we go to the palace?" Zhao Shou said with a smile, "The emperor and the others are still waiting! It's not easy for us to let a bunch of people wait, right?"

"good!"

Liu Mingqi smiled and said, "Eunuch Zhao, if you put your mouth in the Warring States Period, you will be a traitor! Your eloquence is really great!"

"Your Highness, you are just a little hardworking."

Zhao Shou was praised on the surface and refused, but in fact he was quite happy.

In the past, Liu Mingqi was just a naughty child in his eyes.

He didn't know that in just two or three years, Liu Mingqi actually completed the biggest magnificent turn in history and became the best figure in the world.

Sometimes Zhao Shou occasionally thinks when he goes to bed at night that if the emperor really has no descendants, it would be much better to choose Prince Yu than to choose Prince Ning!

It is a bit pitiful for a person who follows the rules to be an emperor!

...

The two of them entered the palace in a carriage.

The first batch of new carriages have been delivered, dozens of them are available in the palace, and there are also them in the prince's mansion.

Zhao Shou definitely is not qualified to own one himself, at least not now, so he was riding an ordinary carriage when he came out.

But on the way back, Liu Mingqi specifically asked him to ride in a new carriage with him, which was a kind of respect.

The boy didn't think much about it, but Zhao Shou felt warm in his heart.

The two entered the palace and began to walk to the Ganqing Palace.

The weather today is not as good as yesterday. Not only is the cold wind blowing, but it also makes light snow slightly and the sky is a little dark.

When he walked up to him, Liu Mingqi realized that not only was there a group of people standing, but a simple shed was also built above this two or three meters long concrete floor to cover the arrival of rain and snow.

"Mingqi, come here!"

Seeing the boy, Jing Hedi's voice was very excited: "Look at me! It's really hard as iron!"

The eyes of a group of ministers looking at Liu Mingqi also became very excited, with a hint of admiration in their excitement.

Yes.

worship.

Although they are almost all in their forties or fifties and sixty years old, they have different orders and age is not respected.

Liu Mingqi made this cement, and the cement was mixed into a concrete ground, which was equivalent to giving the people in Dakang village a pair of wings. With flexible transportation, they would no longer have to stay in the village or in the valley for the rest of their lives, and they would not even have the chance to come out to see the world!

From then on, those so-called difficult mountain roads are no longer a problem!

This is greatly beneficial to the court's control and rule over the world.

In the future history books, there will definitely be a lot of notes for the emperors and ministers present.

With sweet potatoes and cement, they have already been firmly gained popularity! Don’t think that they are just benefiting from it. It’s a matter of invention. Doesn’t it take time and time to implement and build? These are all done by them!

Liu Mingqi gave them such high honors and recognition in the future. At the same time, they will in turn make Liu Mingqi look even greater by paving the road to the whole world.

This is the saint walking in the world!

Looking at Liu Mingqi's face, many ministers thought so in convincingly.

The concrete pavement under the shed was actually smashed and damaged, leaving less than one meter of complete ground, and the rest were broken into stones of large and small sizes.

Liu Mingqi picked up a piece of concrete and felt heavy in her hand, but it still seemed a bit of a pity to break it into pieces.

If a steel frame is added as a skeleton, even if it doubles the strength and hard strikes, it will not be broken like this.

It sounds amazing, but this is the power of science.

According to the laws of calculating and exploring the distribution of forces, the best solution can be naturally planned.

really!

Compared to cement, steel is called the skeleton of modern industry!

Liu Mingqi missed the open-air super rich mines everywhere on the Australian island even more!

Of course, this must be Dakang's possession, the only difference is when to get it.

Liu Mingqi hopes that before the Age of Discovery, the fleet can send thousands of families to settle there, and then rely on its own strength to build harbors and roads, and continuously transport super rich iron ore back to China to start refining.

Just right, didn’t I invent cement?

When you get there, you can be used as the main material for building ports and roads.

Thoughts flashed by.

Liu Mingqi raised her head and looked at everyone, "How about it, everyone? Do you believe it now?"

"I believe it!"

Ge Songdao nodded and bowed respectfully to Liu Mingqi, "Secretary of the people in the world, thank you for your genius for your invention! This time you have great merits!"

Ge Songdao was the deputy prime minister of the court and a strong and strong official of the Legalists. He was like this, and many officials also paid tribute to him.

In the end, Cao Yi couldn't help but bow.

Among these people, although Nangong Ji also bowed the same way, his brows frowned.

He believed that Ge Songdao must have no other meaning.

But isn’t it inappropriate to treat Prince Yu as a savior in front of the emperor?

After all, the emperor is still anxious about the prince's problem recently, and Prince Yu is also one of the candidates for the prince!!

Jing Hedi had no idea. He smiled and waited until they got up, and said, "Ming Qi's talents are really a good thing to use in our Dakang! You all should also help him well to achieve these goals..."

"I will naturally do my best and dare not be negligent!"

Cao Yi, the leader of all officials, bowed and responded, but then changed his mind, "I wonder if Prince Yu, how is the output of this concrete?"

Liu Mingqi explained: "Cao Xiang, concrete is just the name of the finished product. Its raw materials are cement, river sand, pebbles and water. The most important raw materials are cement. As long as there is enough cement and the fine river sand screened, it can be stirred on a large scale in proportion and poured into concrete."

A minister from the seaside asked, "Your Highness, what you are emphasizing is river sand. Is sea sand not good?"

"Sir, you asked this question well! There is too much salt in the sea sand, and salt can corrode many things, including concrete." Liu Mingqi smiled, "Although it doesn't matter in a short period of time, the road surface will become soft, damaged or even collapse after 10 or 20 years! Therefore, it is best to use the river sand in the Tamsui River, which can ensure that it has such a hard quality for at least fifty years!"

After a pause, he said: "Our output is not high now. We only have more than 300 bags per day, with each bag of fifty kilograms according to the standard of three feet and three widths and one foot thick, it would take 27,600 bags to be made in two miles."

"so much!?"

Everyone looked at the concrete floor in front of them and felt that more than 10,000 bags of cement had only been repaired for one mile, which was simply outrageous!

"Of course, if you are willing to lower the standard and become one twelve feet wide and half a foot thick, you will reduce the amount by half. In this way..."

“No need to reduce it!”

Emperor Jinghe immediately refused.

He just estimated the thickness and width, and knew that this was actually much narrower than the official road of Dakang. If it had to be cut by half, wouldn't it be impossible for two carriages to walk side by side?

The thickness is the same.

Who doesn’t know that the thicker the ground, the more it can resist crushing?

You are only one foot thick, and you still need to reduce it. Is this more quality?

Look at the straight roads that our ancestors have built. The thickest places are at least three feet long, which is the material that is solid!

Well, but if you only build village roads, short-distance roads can be slightly looser.

For places like Winding Mountain Road, the standards are even more different.
