Chapter 195 The Birth of Cement
After one night, it seemed that the title of mason emperor was more and more recognized by the capital.For this reason, some people are worried, some people are secretly happy, some people are not concerned with their own affairs, and so on.

In the afternoon, in a teahouse, some people were drinking tea and chatting.Logically speaking, so many things have happened in the capital this winter, so there shouldn't be too many things to talk about.

But there was a short man, who would bring up the topic of masons when he saw that there was a change of people in the teahouse. He looked very regretful, as if Emperor Chongzhen had become obsessed with the work of masons and couldn't extricate himself.He asked others to discuss this topic, and they were all taken to the ditch by him, all worried about the emperor.

"Let me tell you, those three masons are really damned, they dared to seduce the emperor to indulge in this. I know, one of them is called..."

Before the man finished speaking, a man rushed in from outside.Ignoring Xiaoer's greeting at all, he said loudly with surprise on his face: "Stop chatting here, go quickly, go to Tiananmen Square to have a look..."

The short man recognized this person as a tea drinker who had not been away for a long time, and after being told by himself, he was very moved by the emperor's affairs.He was a little curious, and immediately interrupted and asked: "What are you looking for? What's interesting? The foundation is still being built over there!"

Seeing that he interrupted his speech, the man was not annoyed. The expression of surprise on his face remained the same, but there was something more, as if he wanted everyone present to understand his mood at this time: "We all misunderstood the emperor. Hurry up and take a look, the emperor spent a few days on the construction of the Daming Loyalty Hall, and invented something called cement. Wow, that thing is really good! Go quickly..."

"What? The emperor summoned masons to invent things for the construction of the Great Ming Loyalty Hall?" Someone was surprised, "What is that cement?"

Not long after, a large group of people rushed out of the teahouse, and the short man was among them, and took the opportunity to run away, saving even the tea money.

On the street, from time to time, I saw people rushing towards Tiananmen Square, just like streams converging into a river.In a short time, many people gathered in the square.They all looked at everything in front of them in amazement, feeling a little unbelievable.

Iron bars were inserted into the foundation one by one, and craftsmen poured concrete mixed with sand and stone into it.It seemed like there was something else in there, not the usual kind of mix.No need for anything else, just watering the foundation.

There is a section of the ground that has been exposed, looking at a wall, which is piled up by sand and gravel, and iron bars are inserted in it.Logically speaking, this thing can't be piled up, it should be scattered, but it doesn't look like it at all.

People who came here before, either to show their erudition, or to gain a sense of accomplishment from others, introduced the situation of the construction site there to the people around them.

"Look, that's cement, the kind they use to bind sand and gravel, yes, the cement that binds the bricks over there is also cement. Let me tell you, this kind of stuff is comparable to triad clay, even worse, Lots of benefits."

"Do you know how this came about? If it wasn't for one of my relatives who was working inside and just knew about it, you would never have guessed it!"

"What, you think this cement is bad? Alright, then I'll tell you about the benefits of this cement!"

"You should know that the Emperor attaches great importance to this Daming Loyalty Hall. There is no doubt about it, right? Then the Emperor considers that this Loyalty Hall is a place where all the people of the Ming Dynasty can come to pay their respects. What is the most important thing? Fire prevention ! Yes, just be careful to walk in the water!"

"The emperor was worried that the use of wood would be unreliable, so after a few days of thinking, he came up with this cement. Think about it, this entire Hall of Loyalty is built of sand and gravel, can it not be fireproof? The emperor has put a lot of thought into it!"

"..."

This kind of excited publicity appeared around the construction site of Zhonglie Hall, one spread to ten, ten to hundreds, and later the people in Tiananmen Square knew about this situation.

At the beginning, many people were a little worried about the new thing of cement. They were afraid that it would collapse after being raised.But looking at it, they found that using this cement not only made it stronger, but also the speed of construction could be described as fast.

At this moment, the onlookers exploded, the cement is really so good!Until dark, the onlookers had to disperse because of the curfew.With their departure, there is a magical building material called cement, which also spreads.

This time, if someone dared to say that the current emperor might be the same as the previous emperor, someone would immediately go up against him.After all, this is completely different from the first emperor.

The first emperor liked to do carpentry himself, and he ignored state affairs for the things he liked alone.But the current emperor is studying the work of masons for the purpose of Daming Zhonglie Hall, and specially invented a very easy-to-use cement. There is a big difference between them.

It is foreseeable that this cement will bring great changes to Daming.Or in the final analysis, what the emperor did was not for himself.The things made by this are not only hidden in the palace, but will benefit the people of the world.

Early the next morning, those who heard the news and rushed to see what happened were even more shocked.They have never seen such a fast construction speed. In just one night, the prototype of the front hall of the Great Ming Loyalty Hall has been erected.

The eyes of the businessmen in the crowd of onlookers were even brighter, and they were acutely aware of the business opportunities involved.Start to inquire about how this cement is made, how much it costs, and so on.

However, they were quickly disappointed because they found nothing.It is precisely because of this that the cement becomes even more mysterious, and even the emperor who invented this cement has more admiration in the hearts of the people in the capital.

However, at noon, another King Qin army arrived one after another.How much attracted the attention of the people of the capital.

These Qin Wangjun were all those who had been ordered to Shanhaiguan before and obeyed Sun Chengzong's dispatch.Basically, he didn't make much contribution in this battle of Gyeonggi, but just showed his loyalty.Therefore, their arrival did not cause a sensation like Lu Xiangsheng's King Qin army.

At this time, the number of Qin Wangjun who arrived in the capital was almost [-].If it weren't for the annihilation of King Qin's army stationed in Tongzhou, there might be more troops in the capital.

In the next few days, it is expected that Qin Wangjun will gather in the capital, which makes some people in the capital start to comment and comment on those Qin Wangjun, and finally focus on the three Qin Wangjun.
