"As for your cement, I will reward you based on your recent performance."
All the ministers wanted to get the cement, so naturally they knelt down one by one, thanking the Lord for his kindness.
However, in the hearts of all the ministers, there is always a faint suspicion.
Such a magical thing as cement, why does it feel like it was made by Li Hao.
According to His Majesty, this cement is also purchased by His Majesty.
In the world, the only person who can do business with His Majesty is Li Hao. If someone else had this technology, His Majesty would have taken it away long ago.
Where will I place an order with you.
Of course, the ministers did not point out.
Seeing that His Majesty is so interested, whoever breaks through this level is a fool.
It's better to coax His Majesty, so that His Majesty can give me some cement for free.
Afterwards, all the ministers withdrew.
Li Shimin also began to build his own palace.
The construction speed is naturally very fast.
With this cement, workers can work much faster.
Li Shimin was naturally very satisfied.
And those ministers who received the reward of cement also took advantage of this opportunity to repair quite good houses for themselves.
Monarchs and ministers enjoy themselves.
The output of this cement is huge. After Li Shimin built the palace, he found that although the price of this cement is not expensive, it is impossible to collect all the cement with the current financial resources of the treasury.
Under Li Shimin's balance, he still gave up the exclusive purchase of cement.
Zheng Liwan sold the cement to the outside world, and many ministers understood that it was indeed the cement invented by Mr. Li Hao.
This majesty was just pretending to be tough at the beginning, and after the pretending is over, he still has to honestly buy Mr. Li Hao's cement.
Because the effect of this cement is so good, many ministers frantically snapped up this cement.
All of a sudden, the entire Chang'an City set off a frenzy of construction!
Almost every household who is an official has to repair the house, tidy up and renovate his own house.
There are not enough construction workers.
This situation naturally attracted the attention of the family.
Zheng Liwan has been selling cement all the time. The cement is very easy to manufacture and the cost is very low. It is really a huge profit.
Zheng Liwan naturally wants to produce more.
Out of curiosity, the family also purchased some cement.
After using it, I found that this cement is very easy to use.
Because even a family is not rich enough to build a house at will.
Also subject to the shackles of cost.
But with cement, these aristocratic families can build houses more cheaply.
This makes the children of these aristocratic families who value luxury enjoyment, how can they not rush to buy them frantically.
For a while, although Zheng Liwan produced a large amount of cement, she could sell out of stock.
Zheng Liwan couldn't help but feel that this cement business is really profitable!
And most importantly.
This cement is not a luxury business.
Perfume and fine wine can only be enjoyed by the children of aristocratic families and dignitaries. Although the profit is high, the sales volume is limited after all.
And this cement can also be sold to ordinary people in the whole Tang Dynasty.
This price is really not expensive, and it can save money for ordinary people to build houses. Even ordinary people will grit their teeth and buy cement.
In fact, the enthusiasm of ordinary people to buy cement is far greater than imagined!
Because under the action of this cement, many irregular stones can be used directly.
In this way, building materials are much easier to find. There is no need for such neat bricks, as long as they can be mixed together with cement.
It looks like four walls, and that's enough.
In this era, there is no seismic coefficient, as long as it does not collapse under normal use, so the requirements are very low.
If there is no such cement, many people simply use mud and stones to mix together to build houses. The quality of that kind of house is even worse, and often a heavy rainy day may cause the house to collapse.
This cement-built house is not only much better in terms of thermal insulation, but also will never collapse no matter how strong the wind or rain is!
This has actually improved the quality of life of ordinary people too much.
Many families with holes in the walls that are not easy to repair have a home that no longer leaks because of the purchase of Li Hao's cement.
The common people are very simple people.
Whatever is good, they will praise it without any hesitation.
Li Hao is the inventor, and his reputation naturally spread to the ears of many common people in Datang.
Many ordinary people are very curious about Li Hao.
Because Li Hao took out potatoes and refined salt, it can be said that it has greatly relieved the pressure on ordinary people to eat.
Now that cement has been produced, the need for housing can also be solved.
We must know that the most important quality of life for ordinary people is not the basic necessities of life?
As soon as Li Hao made a move, he solved two of them.
Therefore, the people of Tang Dynasty really praised Li Haona.
Especially the East Road area.
Li Hao can be said to have saved lives for the entire Hedong Road area.
The common people in these areas simply adore Li Hao fanatically!
The appearance of Li Shimin is just a change of master, and the people in the Hedong Road area are not grateful to Li Shimin.
But the appearance of Li Hao made the people of Hedong Road feel like a newborn.
Now that Li Hao has invented cement, these ordinary people in Hedong Road have even more admiration and gratitude for Li Hao.
Zheng Liwan made a fortune from cement.
And Li Hao himself.
Li Hao himself is supervising the work of the workers.
His architectural complex has already taken shape, and is now perfecting the details. This is a long-term task, and Li Hao is not in a hurry, he can take his time.
At the same time, Li Hao also passed on the cement technology to two places in the north, Taoyuan and Lingnan.
With this cement, the development of these two places should be further accelerated.
In the process of supervising the work of the workers, Li Hao discovered that if he wanted to build a beautiful, atmospheric and beautiful building, there was one thing that was essential.
steel.
Without this thing, many places of these buildings will be difficult to look good.
Steel itself is the most widely used metal in later generations.
It's time to make steel.
At this time in the Tang Dynasty, steelmaking technology was not very developed. Although iron products were relatively common, steel was still a very precious product.
Only the most high-end weapons can use steel.
But for Li Hao, with coal, steelmaking is much easier.
Coal means extremely large and cheap high-temperature products.
This can save a lot of money than using charcoal.
With enough temperature, more iron ore can be refined into iron, and then into steel.
Greatly reduce the cost of steelmaking.
What's more, Li Hao also has modern steelmaking technology.
With these technologies and coal, Li Hao can easily smelt a large amount of high-quality steel.
Not even the best steel of this era can match.
Li Hao immediately ordered craftsmen to build a blast furnace.
Then I demonstrated it myself, brought a group of craftsmen, and asked them to do what they said.
Due to the different steps of the steelmaking method, Li Hao assigns different craftsmen to do the different steps, so as to avoid leakage of the steelmaking method.
Because Li Hao's steelmaking technology is very advanced, and what he collects is high-quality anthracite.
