"Find a way to suppress the news. No matter what, Beili will definitely not let them know the news." Zhao Jin's expression was extremely cold, and the hostility around him made him feel even more oppressive.
If it weren't for his current strength, he wouldn't be able to challenge Zhao Qian directly. Zhao Jin really wanted to grab Zhao Qian by the collar and ask him if he had no brains.
Suddenly, Zhao Jin remembered something, and his starry eyes narrowed slightly, "We can't let Prince Liang know either."
That day he heard the name of King Liang from Beili's mouth. Although he didn't know why, he didn't rule out that they were related.
After all, Yanyang is quite far away from Beili.
Among the Liang king's fiefdoms, only Yunzhou City bordered Beili.
On the border of Zhao State, most of the areas that really bordered Beili were the fiefdoms of the King of Chu. However, because those cities were richer and more powerful, Beili did not dare to attack rashly.
If King Liang really cooperates with Beili...
Zhao Jin smiled, but the smile that appeared at the corner of his mouth was quite cold.
Those two brothers are really the same stuff.
This was the first time Xu Shangqing saw Zhao Jin like this, like a beast that had lost its disguise or was lazy, with its mouth open.
"Bang!"
Zhao Jin's eyebrows twitched, his study was really busy today.
Qi Yunche rushed in furiously, and when he saw three people inside, he stopped in his tracks.
"Ahem, they're all here." He coughed slightly uncomfortably.
Zhao Jin's eyes were dark, "What's the matter with Young Master Qi?"
Every time Zhao Jin calls Qi Yunche like this, he feels unhappy in his heart.
This time it was his fault. Qi Yunche touched his nose and found that he did not quarrel with Zhao Jin after all.
Thinking of what he had come to do this time, "I heard that His Highness was investigating explosives?"
"Yeah." Zhao Jin's face darkened when he mentioned this, "Our Majesty did a good thing."
There was no trace of the respect the ministers had for the king in his words, and the ridicule and disgust were palpable.
Qi Yunche thought for a moment and knew what was going on. He immediately cursed, "Damn it!"
Xu Shangqing didn't dare to breathe next to him. So your Majesty is so unpopular in the hearts of his ministers?
"I'll send a message to His Highness." Qi Yunche frowned and was about to leave and go back to write a letter.
Zhao Jin quickly stopped the person, "No!"
"Why?"
"It doesn't matter if His Highness knows, but if the information leaks out during the investigation and the people in Beili know about it, then..."
Zhao Jin asked calmly, "But what if His Majesty knows that the fourth prince did not find out this matter by himself, but we wrote a letter to inform the fourth prince?"
"His Majesty will directly doubt whether we joined forces to put on a show in front of him."
Qi Yunche's steps paused, and his expression became even more ugly.
"For the current plan, things in Taoist temples must be kept more confidential. Do not go to Taoist temples unless necessary." Zhao Jin looked at Xu Shangqing and said, "Shangqing, you too, please try to minimize your visits to the government office."
Zhao Jin pondered for a while, "You must not send letters to and from each other, otherwise once someone intercepts it, things will really go wrong."
Liang Qian's heart moved slightly. If this was the case, it would not be easy for them to secretly manufacture firearms and cannons.
He can choose a location closer to the Taoist temple.
Qi Yunche responded in a muffled voice.
Zhao Jin's study was destined to be lively today. They were discussing Beili and explosives when the voice of the Yamen Guards came from outside.
"Your Highness, the official and craftsman chief wants to see you."
Last time, Zhao Jin ordered people to pound cement.
Now that I'm looking for it, I guess the cement has already been hammered out.
Zhao Jin's eyes lit up, "Let him come in."
"Sir, what happy event is there?" Liang Qian guessed after seeing Zhao Jin's overjoyed look.
"Hahaha, if I am not mistaken, it should be a happy event. I will take you to see it together later."
As expected.
The official craftsman brought indeed good news, "Cement has been developed! We tried it, and it is as flat and solid as adults said."
"Let's go! Take me to have a look!"
They came to a fenced-in open space, where several craftsmen were surrounding a place, muttering quietly.
The surrounding ground was dusty and covered with dust.
I don't know who shouted, "The adults are here!"
All the craftsmen turned around and saluted Zhao Jin as if they had just woken up from a dream.
Zhao Jin waved his hand, stepped a little faster, and came to the place where everyone was surrounding him.
It is a cement road about ten meters long.
Zhao Jin knelt down, stretched out his hand to touch it, stood up with a smile and said, "It's done! It's cement!"
All the officials and craftsmen breathed a sigh of relief.
Yang Xu and others looked at this small section of gray with curiosity.
"What is this?" Qi Yunche followed Zhao Jin's example and reached out to touch it. His hand was a little rough, but he didn't notice anything related to it.
It's just that it's really flat.
Yang Xu thought, "Sir, do you want to pave this kind of road?"
"Well, if the road surface is flat, it will be much more convenient for doing business or traveling."
"But, what is the load-bearing capacity of this kind of road?" Liang Qian suddenly heard Zhao Jin's plan and asked the most critical question.
Before Zhao Jin could answer, one of the officials and craftsmen next to him took the lead and said: "The load-bearing capacity is not inferior to that of blue bricks!"
As soon as this statement came out, Yang Xu and others looked a little surprised.
"What's the cost?" Qi Yunche asked.
The smile on the official craftsman's face became even brighter, "It's very cheap! It's very cheap! It's just stones and sand!"
After saying this, some officials and craftsmen went directly to find a basin of water and poured it on all at once.
The place where the water flows through is still flat and clean. It is obviously made of mud and stone, but it is not like a mud road. The water flows through, leaving only a piece of mud.
“I’m not afraid of rainy days now!”
In the past, every time it rained, the roads were muddy and difficult to walk, and complaints arose everywhere.
Zhao Jin turned his head and looked at Yang Xu, "Would you like to try it?"
"Try?" Yang Xu was a little confused, what to try?
Zhao Jin raised his hand and pointed at the ten-meter cement road, "Try this cement, how strong it is."
Hearing this, Yang Xu hesitated for a moment, and then slashed down with his sword!
Zhao Jin, Liang Qian and Qi Yunche are all aware of Yang Xu's strength and have even learned about it.
However, such a fierce force cannot leave even a shallow mark!
Qi Yunche's pupils shrank suddenly.
"this……"
The water flowing through it will still be clean and tidy, and the blue brick pavement can also do this. However, even the pavement made of expensive blue bricks is never as strong as this.
what does that mean?
Qi Yunche's heart was beating wildly.
Zhao Jin smiled with satisfaction, and the official craftsman said: "Come to the government office later to pay the reward. Make more of these cements, and prepare more green bricks."
He looked at the three people who were staring at the cement road and said: "Let's go, we can discuss it when we get back."
