Chongzhen Chat Group

Under the night, the cold wind howled, and most people in the capital had gone to bed early.

However, a courtyard in the Bingzhan Bureau was still brightly lit. It has been like this here for the past few days, and the guards of the imperial city in the distance have long been used to it.

But this time, it's a little different. Among the stars holding the moon, Hu Guang looked expectantly as Tang Binghong, one of the head masons, brought over half a basin of dusty powder in a wooden basin. His upright and cautious attitude seemed as if the powder was very valuable.

"Your Majesty, the proportion of cement in this stove should be the most suitable!" Tang Binghong said respectfully after placing the wooden basin on the table in front of the emperor.

Hu Guang nodded with a smile, waved his hand and said, "Let's start after reading it!"

The other two masons were also gathered around the table, but because Tang Binghong was in charge of this furnace, they could only watch with envy as he began to add water to adjust it into a paste, and then used it as an adhesive to start gluing the prepared bricks.

During the whole process, everyone, including Hu Guang, watched. No one spoke, only the whistling of the north wind sounded from time to time. However, no one felt cold, they all stretched their necks and looked at it.

Even while waiting for it to set, no one spoke, they just looked at the cement-coated bricks quietly, waiting for them to dry.

In fact, among these people, the most excited ones were the masons.

Originally, in their understanding, the only thing used for bonding was Sanhe soil. If there is no Sanhetu, it can only be made of clay.

However, Sanhe Tu is too expensive and cannot be afforded by ordinary people. As for the kind of solid clay construction, whether it is a wall or a road, it is time-consuming and labor-intensive, and it is also afraid of rain impact.

However, now that this kind of cement is available, at least in their opinion, the performance of the cements tested previously is already good, but the emperor is not satisfied and wants to get the best cement.

They realized that the world would change dramatically with the emergence of this cement. Whether it is houses, city walls and other buildings, or roads, landscape gardens, etc., as long as the masons are involved in the fields, or the industries that are not involved, huge changes will occur.

It was this changed understanding that allowed them to sneak a glance at the young emperor from time to time when observing the results. They couldn't imagine that the almighty emperor would come up with something like cement!

Listening to the prompts that the system sounded from time to time, Hu Guang knew without even looking that he had won the respect of these masons that had nothing to do with their identity.

Haha, this is just a trivial matter, there are many good things in the future, wait for me to show them little by little! Hu Guang was thinking in a good mood. He looked at the bricks, appraised them and said, "Try it!"

The emperor gave the order, and everyone's attention suddenly reached a new level. Tang Binghong rubbed his hands. Looking at him, he seemed to want to take a shower, change clothes, and fast.

Holding the bricks one by one with one hand, Tang Binghong looked at Hu Guang, saw him nodding, took a deep breath, and began to break them with all his strength.

In the previous tests, it looked strong, but it broke into two pieces and was not hard enough! At least that's what the emperor said.

At this moment, all eyes were staring at the joint between the two bricks in Tang Binghong's hand without blinking.

Hey, it’s not disconnected! Tang Binghong was overjoyed. He quickly held up the brick and said to Hu Guang in surprise: "Your Majesty, it's not disconnected, it's not disconnected!"

Hu Guang smiled, he really wanted to try it himself. But remembering his status as emperor, he smiled and said: "Give them both a try!"

When Tang Binghong heard this, he reached out his hand to his colleague without hesitation and smiled as he watched the colleague break it off. The result was no surprise and it was still very strong.

The three leading masons glanced at each other, and suddenly they all knelt down to Hu Guang. The other helpers, the guards on the side, the chamberlain and others also knelt down and said in unison with uncontrollable joy: " Congratulations to Your Majesty, Congratulations to Your Majesty, you're done!"

Hu Guang was very happy, really happy. The 24-hour experiment these days was finally not in vain. What’s even more rare is that my own game of chess will come alive!

He nodded with a smile and stretched out his hand to signal: "Get up, everyone, for your hard work, I will reward you with medals. I will not break my previous promise."

I don’t know what the medal is, but that doesn’t stop Tang Binghong and others from shouting happily: “Long live, long live, long live!”

The sound was so loud that almost everyone in the Forbidden City heard it. Everyone looked in the direction of the Bingzhan Bureau in surprise, wondering what good things were happening there!

After Hu Guang and other people in front of him got up, they had calmed down their excitement a little, and said to Tang Binghong and the other three: "Cement is in urgent need, and the bigger the output, the better. I'm afraid you won't be able to rest, so you still have to work in separate shifts, day and night. Just rush the work. There will be some differences in the actual operation process depending on the scale. You must be good at summarizing and try to improve the output efficiency. If you can use water or animal power, don't use manpower. If you can do flow operations, don't do it alone. You know? ?”

Fortunately, he had been with Tang Binghong and others these days, so Tang Binghong and others could barely understand what he said and agreed immediately.

After Hu Guang finished his instructions, he turned to the eunuch on duty next to him, Wang Chengen, who was interested in cultivating him, and said: "The craftsmanship of this cement has been recorded, and the relevant meritorious people have also recorded it. It will be made public in the future so that the people of Ming Dynasty know who made it." Contribution!"

Everyone was very happy to hear this. Seeing that the emperor was about to leave, they hurriedly sent him off.

There was no system prompt, which made Hu Guang sigh secretly. He knew that these people were afraid that they would no longer be able to contribute achievement value. I have to go out and show off my appearance and gain achievement points elsewhere.

After lying on the bed, Hu Guang entered the chat group as usual. He first switched to the work group and told Cao Huachun and Wen Tiren: "Some people may not be able to hold it anymore. I will go to court tomorrow to see their performance!"

Then, he was worried about the situation in Yongping, so he switched to the elementary group and clicked on Qian Fugui's recent message to listen.

"No way, this Jianlu is so cruel, he even set fire to the city!"

"What a miserable life! It's not my property to push such a cart, and I have to travel all night."

"But I finally saved my life. I wonder if those people will be killed in the end?"

"..."

Hu Guang was stunned when he heard this. Jianlu actually burned Yongping? He quickly clicked on the Qian Fugui icon and asked, "Where are the old and weak people in Yongping?"

"Who knows, anyway, we have been driven by the Jianlu to help them transport their belongings and leave. I don't know if they will be killed. But even if they are not killed, there is nothing left for them, and they will still die of freezing and starvation. !”

Thanks to Nature’s Immortality, Sun Time and Space, Wei Lone Xing, Riding Horses World dhb, and His Majesty King Uliel Ke for the reward! The number of subscriptions is less than expected, but I will persevere and I will definitely finish the book. There is another update today, probably around 23:00.
