A guard ran into Lu Yao's exclusive office, "The officials and officials have entered the area of Su County, and they are only half a stick of incense away from the factory."
Lu Yao rested all night in the factory yesterday. He didn't have the energy to get up at midnight and run out of the city. Besides, the city gate wouldn't be open at that time, so he had to follow Zhao Zhen out of the city.
Yesterday he told Cao Yi that the official family was coming to Su County. Cao Yi was so happy that he almost brought his family to the factory, but in the end only he and Cao Ping came.
As a shareholder of several major industries in Suxian County, it is the honor of the factory and the Cao family that the Guan family can come to Suxian County.
"What are you waiting for, Lu Erlang? Hurry up and pick him up!" Cao Yan quickly put on his clothes.
The three of them spent the night in the office yesterday. It was impossible for them to sleep with those victims. It would be a loss of status.
Lu Yao arranged things last night and slept very late. He didn't wake up until Cao Yan called him.
Cao Yan pushed Lu Yao to stagger and said, "You haven't dressed yet, how can you let the officials wait for you?"
Then I heard someone shouting outside: "The officials are almost at the factory gate."
"So fast?" Lu Yao woke up suddenly.
Cao Yan felt a gust of wind passing by him, and when he looked again, there was no trace of Lu Yao.
"This boy moves really fast." Cao Yi cursed secretly and pulled his son, who was still getting dressed, out of the office.
Walking quickly to the factory gate, they found that Lu Yao was already explaining some of the factory's buildings to Zhao Zhen. Instead, the two of them arrived late.
Zhao Zhen glared at Cao Yi but did not blame him.
"It's all your fault for taking so long to put on clothes." Cao Yi cursed Cao Ping, and Zhao Zhen could hear the sound. He put the pot on Cao Ping's body perfectly.
Cao commented: "???"
Obviously it was Lu Yao who got up the last, okay?
Zhao Zhen did not immediately set his sights on the factory, but saw a 'white dragon' crawling on the ground, its body hidden in the thick fog.
"Is this what you call made of cement?" Zhao Zhen asked curiously.
Lu Yao nodded and replied: "The officials really have a good eye. This is a road made of cement mixed with sand and gravel. The officials can go up and touch it to feel its hardness."
"All the ministers, come together!" Zhao Zhen and the officials walked dozens of steps to the road.
Seeing Zhao Zhen squatting down, all the officials also squatted down.
Seeing Zhao Zhen put his hands on the road, the officials also put their hands on the road.
Zhao Zhen tapped the surface of the road twice with his knuckles, then put his hands back into his sleeves.
I used too much force just now and my knuckles hurt.
Zhao Zhen frowned and asked, "Lu Yao, are you sure this is not a road made of stone?"
Lu Yao had long known that Zhao Zhen would ask this question, and he had already prepared his words, "Guan, you see there are no signs of breakage in the middle of this road, so I asked Guan, what kind of stone would be so long?"
, and how come there is no movement at all when such a long stone is transported to Bianliang?"
Zhao Zhen seemed not to have heard the news about the huge rocks entering Bianliang.
As the emperor and the master of the Song Dynasty, although he was deep in the palace, as long as Zhao Zhen was interested in any news in Bianliang City, he would immediately know all the details of the matter.
Including how many calves were born today, if he wants to know, someone will present the number in front of him.
Therefore, it was impossible for him not to hear a little bit about such a big event as the boulder entering the city. If there was no news, it meant that this matter did not happen.
"If it's not a rock, why is it as hard as a rock? What's so wonderful about it?" Zhao Zhen asked again, like a child with a strong thirst for knowledge.
"This is the function of cement. It can turn ordinary sand and gravel into stone. That's why I said that using it to build city walls will be dozens of times stronger than before." Lu Yao explained.
Zeng Gongliang asked: "Lu Yao can't do it to save face. You can't be like this only in one place. When you use it on the city wall, it will become something else."
Zeng Gongliang should be 'resting' at home at this time.
But after he heard that Zhao Zhen wanted to see the cement yesterday, he couldn't sit still.
This is a question he raised, and he must see the effect.
So yesterday he ran to Zhao Zhen and cried, shouting, "If you don't let me see it, I might as well hang myself at home."
Zhao Zhen really couldn't stand the crying look of this old guy, so he followed his wish and ordered him to come see the cement together. However, after returning to Bianliang, he had to go home and rest immediately.
Zeng Gongliang agreed without thinking.
"Zeng Xiang was joking, how could I joke with the lives of the soldiers in the border city? If Zeng believes it or not, I will swear here that if the walls of the border city are not as strong as this road, I will die to apologize."
Zhao Zhen waved his hand and said: "There is no need to make an oath. I still believe in your character, Lu Yao."
How Zhao Zhen believed in Lu Yao's character must start with the 400,000 coins that Lu Yao sent to the palace.
So much money has been honestly transferred into internal funds. Isn’t this still worthy of trust?
"Thank you so much for your love from the officials!" Lu Yao clasped his hands to express his gratitude.
"Although Mr. Lu's character is 'fairly good', the lives of soldiers and generals are not trivial matters and need to be carefully examined."
Han Qi didn't know why Zhao Zhen trusted Lu Yao so much. He only believed what he heard and saw.
After entering Bianliang, he often heard things about Lu Yao. The recent rumors were indeed of a good reputation, but after careful inquiring by his men, he fully understood Lu Yao's previous reputation.
That's a terrible thing. According to his previous reputation, he is definitely capable of such cheating and sneaky things.
Moreover, since he holds the position of Privy Councilor and the war is under his control, he cannot help but ignore it.
"What Prime Minister Han said is true, and it should be so. Then please ask Prime Minister Han to monitor it." Lu Yao said with a smile.
"Is there a place for testing?" Han Qi asked.
"Of course there is." Lu Yao nodded and said, "Please ask the officials to move."
Lu Yao led everyone to the cement wall, which was also the end of the cement road.
Only then did they see clearly the true length of the road, which was a full two miles.
It cannot be said that there are no straight stones that are two miles long in the world. It can only be said that there are very few, almost like rare ones.
It was impossible for such a huge boulder to be transported to Su County silently under their noses, so Lu Yao said there was a high possibility that it was poured out of cement.
Lu Yao pointed to the completely solidified cement wall and said: "This is also made of cement. Mr. Han, you can test one to see if it is the same as what I said."
Han Qi tilted his head slightly, thinking that the general in armor was standing in front of the concrete wall, drew out his sword, and struck hard at the cement wall.
The general was shocked by the rebound force and took a step back. The sword in his hand was still shaking, but only a small sword mark was left on the cement wall.
"This..." The general was a little surprised. He had never seen such a strong wall.
If you choose any courtyard wall in Bianliang City to cut down.
Not to mention cutting it off, the sword body is still immersed in it.
Now it felt like he was cutting a stone, and it was the hardest granite.
The general knew how powerful he was. He definitely couldn't embarrass the wall. He called out a young general. This man looked only a little older than Lu Yao. His skin was slightly darker and his eyes were sharp. He looked like
He has been in battle for a long time and is definitely a warrior.
The young general drew out his sword, and the blade of the sword shone brightly, making it look like it was not ordinary.
The young general shouted, and slashed with his sword.
Even with Lu Yao's current eyesight, he couldn't clearly see the trajectory of the sword. It was really too fast, reaching a limit.
The cement wall shook a few times but did not fall down. The previous sword marks had also expanded a lot, but the sword in the young general's hand had become a broken sword.
The sword broke off where it touched the cement wall, and the other half of the sword was caught between Lu Yao's two fingers.
Lu Yao was frightened. If he hadn't been quick, half of the sword would have cut through his neck.
Although this trajectory does not pose a life-threatening danger to him, the wounds will hurt.
The young general looked at the broken sword in his hand with a look of compassion. This sword must have been with him for a long time, but he didn't expect it to be broken like this today.
The previous general knew the strength of this young general. Even he couldn't shake this cement wall. If it was used to build a city wall, who else could break through it? This can definitely be called a great pass.
The Song Dynasty needed such border cities to appear.
Lu Yao walked up to the young general and put half of the sword in front of him and said: "Young general, don't be sad. If you come back here in a few days, I will give you a better sword, which will definitely be better than the one in your hand.
"
The young general looked up at Lu Yao and said: "I am not a general, I am the Xuangjie Colonel Zhe Kexing of the Forbidden Army. You can just call me Zhe Xiaowei. And what Lu Xianzi said just now is true, can you really give me
A better sword?"
"I, Lu Yao, keep my word. Even if I can't make it, I will buy you a good sword." Lu Yao said with a smile.
"Thank you very much. I'll come to pick up the sword in five days. However, I think Mr. Lu is very skilled, so I should ask for advice when the time comes." Zhe Kexing said, handing over his hand.
"Zhe Kexing must not be rude to Mr. Lu, so please retreat quickly." The general of the Imperial Army scolded Zhe Kexing.
Zhe Kexing responded and slowly joined the ranks of the imperial army.
Lu Yao thought this Zhe Kexing was very interesting. He had seen the Yang family generals in later generations, and among them there was Taijun She, whose last name had the same pronunciation as Zhe Kexing. I wonder if the two of them were related.
Lu Yao walked up to an earth wall and said: "This wall is made using the rammed earth method. It is exactly the same as the current technology for building city walls. General, please come and test its hardness."
The general of the Forbidden Army came to the earth wall with his sword and chopped it down with one sword.
The earthen wall was not cut down, but the sword in his hand had completely penetrated the earthen wall.
The hardness of the two walls can be seen at a glance. This chapter has been completed!
