I, Zhu Youjian: the first prodigal son of the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 138 The Birth of Cement

In the following ten days, Zhu Youjian, the idiot emperor, worked tirelessly to learn foreign languages ​​with Anna and Catherine all day and all night.

The three of them are extremely intelligent people, and they can have a simple conversation in just a dozen days.

This point made the great eunuch Wei Zhongxian admire him very much.

"Husband, Anna wants to eat Xiaofeng stewed mushrooms."

"Husband, what do you mean by double cultivation? Catherine doesn't understand..."

Zhu Youjian laughed loudly, wearing only a loose silk shirt, with bare feet, reclining on the big bed and drinking tea slowly, watching the two красотк dangling in front of him, his eyes became two small crescents.

"Anna, you can eat as much as you want, drink as much as you want, and just tell Wei Zhongxian when you pass on the meal."

"As for what Catherine said... what, when you grow up, I will teach you by hand!"

The Tsarist Russian woman has an unrestrained temperament and is extremely glamorous. She can say whatever she thinks, which makes people feel very comfortable.

The only regret is that Anna clearly stated that she and Catherine can only choose one.

As a spoil of war, the Ming Emperor naturally has all the power.

The problem is that Zhu Youjian, the idiot emperor, has read the sage books for a few days after all, and he knows some shame. He really can't do that kind of beastly behavior that eats everything.

'If you marry Ana, if you give birth to a boy and a half girl, you can become one of the legal heirs of the Russian Romanov dynasty;'

"Catherine is young and beautiful, innocent and innocent. If she enters the harem, she will definitely increase her prodigal value..."

……

Zhu Youjian struggled for no reason, he couldn't help sighing lightly, and muttered: "Oh, it's so difficult."

"Husband, what are you talking about? Is there something bothering you?" Anna came over and began to squeeze Zhu Youjian's shoulders with unfamiliar techniques, which made the idiot emperor feel strangely comfortable.

'Or, just Anna? '

'It's a bit of a disadvantage, a typical eagle eats chickens. '

"Husband, Catherine wants to go out and stay in the house all day, don't you feel bored?" Catherine read for a while, stood up, and stretched herself.

Sunlight shines evenly through the glass window on her young and lively waist, buttocks, and her slender neck, paired with a head of golden hair, it is simply ecstatic.

Tsk, how about Catherine...

"Long live, Xu Guangqi and Song Yingxing have sent a message." When Zhu Youjian was struggling, Wei Zhongxian walked in with small steps, his old face almost turned into a chrysanthemum with a smile.

"Long Live Lord, Congratulations Long Live Lord, Congratulations Long Live Lord!"

"Xu Guangqi said that our Daming's first cement kiln has come out of the kiln!"

"So fast? Not bad!" Zhu Youjian jumped up.

He casually slapped Anna's plump waist and buttocks, but looked at Catherine, and said with a smile: "You two concubines, let's go, my husband will take you to increase your knowledge!"

Anna was dignified and generous, holding the idiot emperor's left arm with a joyful expression on her face.

And the young girl Catherine held the emperor's right arm, bowed her head, and looked shy in her charming, like a bouncing apple-eating deer, with two strong and long legs...

It looks very elastic.

Wei Zhongxian watched eagerly from the side with envy.

When will our family be so stinky and shameless...

Zhu Youjian led the two Tsarist Russian and foreign women out of Heilong City, huddled together, all the way to the wharf of Heilonggang, and boarded an iron-clad warship.

The first "cement factory" in Ming Dynasty was still more than [-] miles away from Heilonggang, and Zhu Youjian had already arrived after learning only seven or eight Tsarist Russian words.

"Your Majesty, this way please!"

"Long live, your formula is really easy to use. It has been tested and it is much better than green bricks."

Xu Guangqi and Song Yingxing were waiting at the pier early.

"Not bad, this progress has exceeded my expectations." Zhu Youjian quickly boarded the pier, turned his head and smiled at the two daughters Anna and Catherine: "When I get some trivial matters of Daming done, I will accompany you all in person. A trip to the Volga;

My iron army crushed the Romanov dynasty and helped Mikhail seize the throne.

By the way, build you the strongest castle in the world.

Well, let's call it St. Anna's *Catherine's Castle! "

Hearing the words, the second daughter immediately beamed with joy, bowed left and right, hugged his arms tightly, squeezed most of her bulging body up, opened her bloody mouth, and smacked directly on Zhu Youjian's face .

MUA~Zi!
All the ministers and the students of Daming Academy bowed their heads silently, for fear of embarrassing the idiot emperor.

Only Wei Zhongxian remained unchanged.

Because, he has already gotten used to it these days.

"Let's go, let's see your test results." Zhu Youjian laughed without changing his face, and walked towards a test field with his mother and daughter on his arm.

In the test site, there are nearly a hundred 'cement bricks', which should be made of 'cement' fired from different ore formulas.

A student of Daming Academy, holding a big hammer, stood majestically beside a 'concrete pier', bowed and said, "Long Live Lord, please give me some advice!"

Zhu Youjian turned around and soon found a problem.

That is, when Xu Guangqi and Song Yingxing tested the cement blocks, they missed an extremely important link, which caused the cement blocks to become loose, and a large piece would be knocked off when they were hammered down.

"This kind of thing made of limestone is called cement." Zhu Youjian was finally able to show off his 'knowledge', so he looked very proud. "So, when it is solidified, it cannot be separated from water."

"For this piece, for example, if you sprinkle more water several times before and after solidification, the strength of the cement concrete will increase seven or eight times."

"In addition, different cement grades should have different proportions of cement and sand."

"Besides, if it's used for construction, it's better to lay iron wires inside. This is very powerful. Ordinary Hongyi cannons bombard it, but it only blows up a small hole..."

Xu Guangqi and Song Yingxing nodded again and again, and immediately instructed the students to sprinkle water on the concrete blocks.

"In addition, it is necessary to test several times and assign a set of building labels to cement for different purposes. In this way, when ordinary people build houses, they can purchase them accurately, thereby avoiding many unnecessary troubles."

"In addition, cement for different purposes must be fired, so that we can mass-produce it."

"For example, is there a formula where the fired cement can withstand the erosion of seawater, and some cement can withstand the red cannon?"

As a former delivery man, Zhu Youjian also worked as a "ash man" for a period of time, and he is very familiar with the formula and proportion of cement concrete.

'Long Live God knows too much...'

Before he knew it, he got two or three hundred reputation points.

However, it didn't help.

"Your Majesty, Wei Chen and Song Yingxing can complete these details." Xu Guangqi said with a smile, "However, please tell your majesty what to do next."

Zhu Youjian pondered for a moment, then smiled and said, "Then, first strengthen the Black Dragon City, and renovate the Black Dragon Port by the way."

"The next step is to vigorously develop production and repair bridges and roads."

"By the way, let's build a cross-sea road first."
