Datang: It's a showdown, my son-in-law is going to rebel!

Chapter 54

"What? What about the cement?"

Fang Qi was making blueprints at his temporary residence in Dongshi. At this time, a man ran over, and Fang Qi reported that the cement had been researched.

"Young master, you said, this cement, mixed with water, turns into mud, and after the water dries, it turns into stone. It has been researched."

After the man finished reporting, he took out a cement ball from his arms and said, "Please take a look, Master."

This cement ball was only about the size of a fist, not too big or too small. He held it in his hand and felt it carefully. Fang Qi felt that it was almost ready.

"How many are there now?"

Fang Qi asked this person: "I want to try it myself."

"There is a total of one furnace, and the output is not much, but if the son is confirmed, if we produce, we can produce about ten squares a day."

"Row!"

Fang Qi nodded, and then went directly to the construction address of the Princess Mansion.

Cement was produced here. After Fang Qi arrived, he started testing it directly.

It will take at least a day or two to experiment with this thing, but Fang Qi can still afford to wait. After making the previously prepared steel bars into shapes, he will directly start making cement boards.

This thing is used when the canal is being repaired. At that time, the hollowed-out cement board will be directly laid on the drainage canal. Not only will it not affect the use, but also when it is dredged later, you can see where it is blocked. It can be said to be a good choice.

Fang Qi has already prepared a set of experimental tools. If the cement is successful, then he can start construction.

He left the construction site satisfied.

When he just left the construction site, Li Junxian found Fang Qi.

Soon Fang Qi was taken to the Imperial Study Room.

"Fang Qi, why haven't you started work?"

Li Shimin said to Fang Qi: "Although we have cheated the aristocratic family in this matter, but you have not started work for a long time, the paperwork here has been piled up like a mountain, and I can hardly bear the pressure!"

"Your Majesty, this matter is a great undertaking. It is natural to make a decision before taking action. Starting the work hastily can only show that I am fooling the people of the world!"

Fang Qi said to Li Shimin: "If you want to do it, you must do your best and bring out the best results. Otherwise, wouldn't you be ashamed of the people in the world?"

"..."

Fang Qi looked so righteous, and Li Shimin was immediately speechless.

"Are you sure you're not procrastinating? I heard that, except for finding Duan Lun and Yan Lide on the first day, you stayed at home all day and didn't go out."

Li Shimin said to Fang Qi: "This is a big deal. We have cheated the aristocratic family, and they will definitely stare at them. Ninety percent of the officials in the entire Tang Dynasty are from the aristocratic family. We must treat this matter carefully, otherwise If that is the case, you should be careful that the powerful families force the palace, when that time comes, it will be very difficult for me to do so."

"..."

Fang Qi looked at Li Shimin and knew Li Shimin's difficulties.

The aristocratic families in this world control the entire Tang Dynasty. Although there are not many high-ranking officials, most of the local grassroots are people from the aristocratic families. If these people go on strike collectively, Li Shimin has nothing to do.

Therefore, Li Shimin must treat it with caution.

If these people forced the palace, Li Shimin would have no confidence at all.

"Your Majesty, don't worry, as soon as tomorrow, I will start work!"

Fang Qi didn't want to wait any longer. If the cement board was not finished, he would dig a hole first.

Anyway, installing the cement board is very simple, just cover it up, don't worry too much.

Since everyone in the family is in a hurry, let’s just go ahead and get started.

"Okay, you take care of it yourself, everything must be done well, and you can't let the aristocratic family get hold of it."

Li Shimin warned Fang Qi, and then said: "You go ahead, we must pay close attention to the matters of the princess mansion. When the princess mansion is completed, you and Li Zhi will get married as soon as possible."

………………

Fang Qi left the Imperial Study Room and went directly to the outside of Chang'an City.

There is no one in the Ministry of Industry and the general supervisor. Although the aristocratic family gave him some people, they are far from enough, and he dare not use them.

These people are all members of aristocratic families, and it is not easy to use them. What if there are one or two bad guys among them who cause damage?
So Fang Qi set his sights on the refugee camp. The people here are basically fleeing civilians. As long as they have a bite to eat, they can work hard.

If Fang Qi wants to hire people, these people are naturally his first choice.

Arriving outside Chang'an City, Fang Qi packed up the entire refugee camp without saying a word.

There are old people, women and children.

But Fang Qi is not worried, these people are useful to Fang Qi.

This is a big job, there are all kinds of jobs, and everyone can do some work within their ability.

In ancient times, there was no such thing as child labor, as long as there was a child with some ability, Fang Qi would not refuse anyone.

However, Fang Qi also found a place to properly arrange some people who could no longer stand up.

No way, although these people have lost the ability to move, their family members can still move.

Naturally, helping people will help to the end, Fang Qi packed everyone up.

Let people prepare meals directly.

Tomorrow is going to start work, so naturally all these people should have a full meal and a good night's sleep today.

There are pots and pans in the refugee camp, and Fang Qi directly transported a bunch of food, not only rice, but also vegetables.

After feeding these people, I told them about the treatment, and then everyone became excited.

This happiness came too suddenly.

Fang Qi actually didn't give much, including three meals and ten cents per month. These people were very excited.

You know that's a lot.

Now the part-time jobs in Chang'an City are basically in a state where no one wants them. Three meals are included, and ten yuan per month is equivalent to the price of doing a long-term job in an aristocratic family.

How could these people not be excited?
After doing all this, Fang Qi left.

The next day, construction began.

To dig a hole is to dig a hole.

Digging ditches is not just digging holes.

Pitholes must be dug in every square market, and the pits at the door of every household must be connected.

This doesn't have any technical content. After arranging the people, Fang Qi left and went to the construction site of the Princess Mansion. He wanted to come over to check the quality of the cement board.

After taking a quick look, Fang Qi was sure that this was the cement he wanted, and then directly arranged for people to start mass production. Of course, mass production would not be done in this place, but the construction site was moved directly outside Chang'an City. Construction of cement kilns began and mass production began.

Fang Qi didn't need to do anything himself. After arranging the matter, Fang Qi went to find Li Shimin.

There are still many things that Fang Qi needs to discuss with Li Shimin.

The members of the aristocratic family participated in his book regardless of the facts, so naturally he would be disgusted by the people of these aristocratic families.
