Chapter 53
The matter of cement has long been no secret in Zhuangzi. When Zhang Yi and Feng Zhidai rushed to the earthen kiln, it was already brightly lit by torches.

"My lord, we finally succeeded!" Immediately, a kiln worker ran up to Zhang Yi, pointed to a piece of concrete next to it that had been hit by a hammer with several white marks, and said excitedly: "Look, the eight-jin heavy I can knock off a large piece of the big bluestone in the mountains with a hammer, but our concrete pier has only scratched a little bit!"

With the vision of future generations, Zhang Yi knew that the current concrete pier must have succeeded just by glancing at it. Although it was only the most primitive cement, it was definitely a major breakthrough!

It is conceivable that once this sharp weapon is used in the city defense, the defense of Datang City will definitely go up several steps immediately, and the inside of your courtyard can also be built into a real century-old house, such as swimming pools, saunas, etc. As long as he can repair everything, he will repair everything. If there is nothing to do, let Hua'er beat his legs, squeeze his shoulders, and then lie in the sun and count the money.

It's just that there is a problem here, should such a big matter as cement be exposed?

"Isn't it just a stone, so excited to use it?" Feng Zhidai looked at a group of people with smiles on their faces like a country bumpkin, and then said to Zhang Yi with disdain.

As soon as the words were out of the mouth, a large number of people rolled their eyes immediately.

Zhang Yi had no interest in this kind of ignorant person at all, so he immediately asked Lao Zhong to reward each of the kiln workers with five pennies, and the happy crowd became even more excited.

Wuguan money is definitely not a small amount, and a cow is only eight guan. After working for a month or so and earning more than half a cow, no matter who it is, it will be very satisfied.

"If your father saw you saying that, believe it or not, he would definitely hang you from a tree and beat you hard with a whip!" Zhang Yi said to Feng Zhidai with a serious face after the excitement subsided: "It's no exaggeration to say that this thing is the most important weapon of the country. With it, our city walls will be extremely strong. With it, we can build a road that will almost never be damaged and go anywhere!

A person's eyesight determines his height, but such a thing that looks like an artifact, you actually compare it with a stone!The sage once said, what you know is what you know, what you don’t know is what you don’t know. When you haven’t understood a novel thing, don’t judge it easily with conventional eyes. In that case, your judgment will make you no different from those dealers! "

Seeing Zhang Yi getting serious, Feng Zhidai immediately became serious.

The long-term relationship made him very clear that Zhang Yi couldn't make jokes on serious matters, and once he became serious, it showed that the matter was very important.

"Brother Zhang, please teach me!" Feng Zhidai immediately bowed deeply and asked for advice reverently.

Zhang Yi sighed, and found the leftover cement used by the kiln workers for experiments next to the earthen kiln. He said to Feng Zhidai: "Look, these are these powders. Although they are inconspicuous, they are mixed with river sand and gravel to make them thicker. It can be used to build any building, and when it dries for a certain period of time, it is the concrete you just saw.

You don't have to doubt its sturdiness, it is definitely dozens of times stronger than blue bricks, stone slabs and the like. If you use it to build a city, as long as the number of troops does not exceed a certain number, the city will be a city that will never be broken! "

When Zhang Yi finished speaking, Feng Zhidai fell silent.

It's not that he doesn't believe Zhang Yi, but that this message is really hard for him to accept, even if he saw it with his own eyes.

A city that can never be breached is almost everyone's ultimate dream!
Because once it appears, it represents living and working in peace and contentment, and it represents eternal prosperity and prosperity!Once you have such a foreign cavalry, there is no possibility of attacking!

But will such a city really appear?
In the end, the cement still didn't continue to be produced. It was really not like Zhang Yi would break the current stable life. Stirring himself into the muddy water in the court hall was not what he wanted to see, so when enough cement was fired for his own use, The clay kiln was dismantled, and only a paper formula was left by Zhang Yi.

Of course, the Zhang family immediately had a dozen more artisan households who sold themselves as slaves, so Zhangjiazhuang fell into the upsurge of building the Viscount's Mansion.

Since the use of cement, the construction speed of the Viscount's Mansion has increased a lot, and an artifact called Kang has also been handed down, which has become a unique secret in Zhangjiazhuang.

More people means easier work. The Viscount's Mansion was completed on the 28th day of the twelfth lunar month, regardless of cost or labor.

The old lady rushed to Zhangjiazhuang early in the morning with a large group of servants and maids.

Although Zhang Yi has repeatedly said that the newly built house is too humid to live in and must wait two months for the moisture to dissipate.But the old lady stubbornly believes that if you can't spend the Chinese New Year in your own home, then it is not a Chinese New Year.

What's more, the ancestors of the Zhang family must also worship. It would be even better if they could set up an ancestral hall at home, because the Zhang family's ancestral hall had long been razed to the ground following the disaster.

"Good grandson, our Zhang family has finally prospered under your hands. Grandma is really happy!" After visiting the new house, the old lady kept looking at Hua'er's belly until the painting The son's cheeks were flushed, and he couldn't help sighing, pulling Zhang Yi and complaining: "Now the family property is several times larger than when your father was here, and there are more servants and so on. Little, it stands to reason that even if grandma dies, she should die in peace."

"Grandma, you are going to live a long life, let's not talk about being discouraged!" Zhang Yi hurriedly comforted: "My grandson met Sun Simiao and Daoist Sun some time ago. It is said that his medical skills are the most powerful people in our Tang Dynasty, grandson I plan to ask him to show you tomorrow, your body will be fine with him!"

The old lady didn't buy it at all, she couldn't help but shed tears when she saw Zhang Yi, she wiped her tears and said, "I'm just a hardy person, when people reach my age, there are groups of great-grandsons, just me. Hey! If I die, how can I have the face to meet the ancestors of the Zhang family!"

This is beyond words!

It can be seen that the old lady thinks that her great-grandson is about to go mad, and two days ago, she asked Lao Zhong to tell her that the daughter of a wealthy family in Jingyang is giving birth to a good baby, so that he has time to take a look.
"Grandma, don't worry! It's said that a man should have great ambitions," Zhang Yi hurriedly explained.

"Have great ambitions, your father had great ambitions back then! What happened later? Woohoo!~~~ Grandson, just listen to grandma, even if you don't marry a regular wife, let's take a few concubines, don't worry grandma will definitely give you Pick a few beautiful ones, and I'm sure you'll be satisfied!"

 The weather has changed a bit in the past two days, book lovers want to keep warm!
