God-level Consort of the Tang Dynasty

"Hey, I learned some art of war from my father since I was a child, and I know a little bit!"

Du He put away his sword, sat down, and asked, "Tell me, why are you looking for me?"

Hou Yi quickly got up from the ground, and said with a serious face: "Master, I have something unclear these few days!"

"What's the matter?"

"That's the cement invented by the county magistrate. Such fetishes will definitely be of great use in the future. I've already thought about it. Cement can be used to build roads, houses, and city walls, and the effect is amazing. But, why does your majesty Not interested, the court officials are not interested, even my father doesn't think so?" Hou Yi was puzzled.

In the past few days, he has been thinking about this matter, but the more he thinks about it, the more painful he becomes, and the more he thinks about it, the more he has no answer. As a last resort, he decided to ask Du He for advice.

Chapter 796 lackeys under the door

Only then did Du He notice that Hou Yi's stamina and head were covered with bloodstains.

"Are you injured?" Du He asked.

Hou Yi shook his head: "Master, no, I've always been careful in doing things so I won't get hurt. These are all things I couldn't help but catch when I was thinking."

Ugh!

poor child!

Du He looked at the other party and asked, "Is it because of this that you can't figure it out?"

Hou Yi: "Yes!"

Du He smiled: "Then you should know that if you study cement, you can be an official?" Du He asked lightly.

Hou Yi: "Naturally, I can't. To study cement, I'm just a craftsman."

Du He continued to ask: "Can you participate in the scientific examination?"

Hou Yi did not hesitate: "No, the knowledge of cement and scientific research has nothing to do with each other!"

Du He asked again: "Can it bring you great fame?"

"I'm afraid it will be difficult. Today's celebrities are mostly Confucian scholars, and there are a small number of Taoist and Buddhist masters. They have never seen a craftsman who gained a reputation. A person as powerful as Mr. Lu is rarely known in the capital! "Hou Yi analyzed seriously.

"That's it, that's it. Since you can't be an official, you can't gain fame, you can't take part in scientific examinations... why would anyone be interested!" Du He said indifferently.

boom.

Hou Yi was taken aback.

Du He's few short words were like a slap in the face, and solved the perplexity in his heart at once.

Yes, that's the reason, so no one is interested in fetishes like cement.

After a while, he said unwillingly: "But, magistrate, this is cement, this is a fetish! How can they be so short-sighted?"

Du He laughed: "This is so strange. It has been like this since ancient times. Since ancient times, the knowledge of sages has been consistent and has not been lost. However, how many skills and hard work of skilled craftsmen in ancient times have been lost. It is a kind of sadness that people use wood to build houses, and people do the same today... There are many reasons for this, but one thing must be clear, that is, since ancient times, people have not valued science!"

"Science? Could it be that Mr. Lu said, county magistrate, did you teach Yuan Qingfeng their knowledge at Banshan College?" Hou Yi became inexplicably interested.

Duhe nodded.

"The cement is also science?"

"Yes!"

"And what is science?"

"Science is all knowledge in the world, and cement is one of them. You only saw that I invented cement. Do you know why we use limestone instead of other stones? Do you know that gypsum is used as raw material? ?” Du He asked with a smile.

Hou Yi shook his head.

"When you figure this out, you'll be considered a science student!"

puff.

Hou Yi suddenly knelt down on his knees, kowtowed for a few thoughts, and then said sincerely: "Master, I want to worship you as my teacher, and I want to learn science from you! I want to be a running dog under your family!" !"

Du He's mouth twitched!

Running dogs!

Isn't this a curse?

"Who told you to be my lackey?" Du He said angrily.

Hou Yi scratched his head: "That's what people say outside. They say that Mr. Lu, Mr. Ma, and even His Highness the King of Shu are all lackeys of the county magistrate. They follow behind the county magistrate. The fox pretends to be the tiger and acts as a minion for the tiger. He will die..."

Du He: "..."

This young master's reputation is so bad?

It really makes no sense!

This must be a false accusation!

Let that bastard, King of Shu, look it up later, there must be someone doing bad things in this young master's name and ruining this young master's name!

Du He still attaches great importance to his own reputation.

This happened, of course, with a heavy heart.

He doesn't speak.

Hou Yi knelt on the ground like this.

Kneeling until his legs became numb, he dared not stand up.

Time passed slowly.

At some point, Du He's door was opened from the outside.

A figure appeared at the door.

It was Hou Yi's father, Hou Junji, who was the Shangshu of the Ministry of War.

The first time Hou Junji opened the door, he saw Du He sitting on a chair with his legs raised, while his son Hou Yi was kneeling on the ground, as if pinching Du He's legs?

Hou Junji was so angry that he almost vomited blood.

My father was worried about you all day and all night, but you were lucky enough to beat Du He's legs here, and you were still kneeling.
