After one night, it seems that the title of Mason Emperor is more and more recognized by the Jingshi. For this reason, some people are worried, some people secretly rejoice, some people are not concerned about themselves, and so on.

In the afternoon, in a teahouse, some people were drinking tea and chatting. It stands to reason that this winter, so many things have happened in Jingshi, and there are not too many things to talk about.

But there is a short man, looking at the change of people in the teahouse, it will bring up the topic of masons, and he looks very sorry, as if Emperor Chongzhen is already addicted to the work of masons and can't extricate himself. asked others to discuss this topic, and they were all taken to the ditch by him, all worried about the emperor.

"If you want me to say, those three masons are really damned, they dare to seduce the emperor to indulge in this. I know there's one of them called ......."

Before the man could finish his words, a man suddenly rushed in from outside. Ignoring Xiao Er's greetings at all, he said loudly with a look of surprise: "Don't talk here, go quickly, go to Tiananmen Square to see ......"

The short man recognized this person as a tea guest who had not been gone for a long time, and he was very emotional about the emperor's affairs after being told by himself. He was a little curious, and immediately interrupted and asked, "What to see, what's there to see, there's still a foundation going on over there!" ”

The man saw that he interrupted his speech, and he was not annoyed, the expression of surprise on his face remained unchanged, but there was something more, as if he wanted everyone present to understand his mood at this time: "We all misunderstood the emperor, go and take a look, the emperor spent a few days for the construction of the Ming Martyrs' Hall, and he invented something called cement." Wow, that's a pretty good thing! Go and ......."

"What? The emperor went to summon masons to invent things for the construction of the Ming Martyrs' Hall? Someone was surprised, "What is that cement?" ”

It didn't take long for a large group of people to rush out of the teahouse, and the short man was among them, taking the opportunity to run away, and even saving money for tea.

On the streets, from time to time, I saw people rushing towards Tiananmen Square, like a stream converging into a river. It didn't take long for a lot of people to gather in the square. They all looked at everything in amazement and felt a little incredible.

Iron bars were inserted into the foundation, and craftsmen poured concrete mixed with sand and gravel into it. It seems that there is something else in there, not the ordinary kind of mix. I didn't need anything else, I just poured it on the foundation.

There was a section of the ground that was already exposed, and I looked at a wall, made of gravel, with iron bars stuck in it. It stands to reason that this thing can't be piled up, and it should be scattered, but it doesn't look like it at all.

Those who had come there before, either to show their erudition or to get a sense of accomplishment from others, told the people around them about the construction site there.

"You see, that's cement, the kind that they use to bond the sand, yes, the bricks over there are also cement. I tell you, this kind of thing is comparable to Sanhe soil, and even surpasses it, and has many benefits. ”

"Do you know how this came about? If it weren't for one of my relatives working in it, you would never have guessed! ”

"What, do you think this cement is bad? Okay, then I'll talk to you about the benefits of this cement! ”

"You should know that the emperor attaches great importance to this Ming Loyal Martyr's Hall, there is no doubt about this, right? Then the emperor considered that this martyr's hall was so that the people of the Ming Dynasty could come to the incense to pay respects, what is the most important thing in this? Fireproof! Yes, just be careful when walking in the water! ”

"The emperor was worried that the wood was unreliable, and after pondering for a few days, he had this cement. Think about it, this entire martyr's hall is built of sand and stone, can it not be fireproof? The emperor can be described as well-intentioned! ”

“……”

This kind of agitated propaganda appeared around the construction site of the Martyrs' Hall, and it spread to ten, ten, and hundreds, and later the people of Tiananmen Square knew about it.

At the beginning, many people were a little worried about the new thing cement, afraid that it would collapse after it was repaired. But looking at it, they found that with this cement, not only is it stronger, but the construction speed can be described as fast.

At this moment, these onlookers exploded, this cement is really so good! It wasn't until dark that the onlookers had to disperse because of the curfew. With their departure, a magical building material called cement also spread.

This time, if anyone dares to say that the current emperor may be the same as the previous emperor, someone will immediately go up and scold him. After all, this is completely different from the previous emperor.

The emperor liked to do carpentry himself, and he ignored state affairs for the sake of what he liked. But today, the emperor went to study the work of the mason for the sake of the Ming Martyrs' Hall, and specially invented a very good cement, which is a big difference.

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

Early the next morning, those who rushed to see what was going on when they heard the news were even more shocked. They had seen such a fast pace of construction, but in just one night, the prototype of the front hall of the Great Ming Martyrs' Hall had been erected.

The businessmen in the crowd of onlookers were even brighter-eyed, and they were keenly aware of the business opportunities. I started to ask how this cement is made, how much it costs, and so on.

However, they were soon disappointed because they found nothing. It is precisely because of this that this cement has become more mysterious, and even the emperor who invented this cement has more respect in the hearts of the people of Beijing.

However, at noon, the army of King Qin arrived one after another. It has attracted the attention of the people of Beijing to some extent.

These Qin Wang troops were all those who had been ordered to go to Shanhaiguan and obey Sun Chengzong's dispatch. Basically, he didn't contribute much in the battle of Gyeonggi, but just showed his loyalty. Therefore, their arrival did not cause a sensation like Lu Xiangsheng's Qinwang army.

At this time, the number of Qinwang's troops who arrived in Beijing was almost 20,000. If it weren't for the annihilation of the Qinwang army stationed in Tongzhou, there might have been even more troops in Beijing.

In the next few days, it is expected that the Qinwang army will gather in the Beijing Division, which makes some people in the Jingshi who are so idle that they begin to comment on those Qinwang armies, and the focus is finally focused on the three Qinwang armies.
