People really don't want to work overtime in Daxia

Chapter 27 The Broken Knife and the Concrete Road
"Master Yu, what do you think about the official coming up with something?" the young man who stood up said with a smile.

"I don't know who you are?" Yu Qing looked at him suspiciously, after all, people are well-known and have roots, so when you scold, you have to know who you are scolding.

"My subordinate Qi Guangyao!"

Qi Guangyao and Yu Qing thought about it without the slightest impression, and suddenly an idea popped up, Southern Qi and Northern Li's Qi?
Yu Qing smiled meaningfully and said, "The Qi family of Southern Qi and Northern Li?"

Qi Guangyao said with an unchanging expression, "I am a minister of Daxia first, and then a descendant of the Qi family."

Yu Qing felt a little vomited with a righteous look, it was too fake.

"Master Yu has developed the latest method of making salt, which is really good." Qi Guangyao said with a smile all over his face, "I also took a special look at it, and the salt is as fine as snow, and it tastes good when used for cooking. It doesn't taste bitter, it's all salty. .”

"It can be said that relying on salt, Master Yu's name in history books is more than enough."

Yu Qing nodded reassuringly, although he knew that this guy didn't hold back his fart, at least this compliment was not bad.

Yu Qing said with a smile, "Since that's the case, let's talk about your solution."

"My solution is Master Yu hand over the method of making salt, and let people with experience in making salt make it." Qi Guangyao looked at Yu Qing with a smile on his face.

Hehe, everyone understood when the words came out. The so-called experienced people are you from the Southern Qi and Northern Li families.

"Of course it's not for free. The Qi family and the Li family said before that if Master Yu is willing to hand it over, the two families are willing to give one hundred thousand guan."

All the ministers were taken aback when he said this. Those who didn’t understand felt that [-] guan was a huge sum of money, enough to make them envious and jealous. Those who understood understood that the [-] guan was just for beggars.

"Master Yu, what do you think?" Qi Guangyao looked at Yu Qing with a smile. After he saw that paying the money was already the biggest setback for Southern Qi and Northern Li, Yu Qing would not recklessly oppose them.

At this moment, Yu Qing thought to himself that this person has something wrong with his brain, he is just her younger brother Shiranui Wu, who doesn't know what to do, do you really think I'm stupid?
"Not good?" Yu Qing retorted without hesitation.

In the end, the two sides began to persuade each other again with fierce battles and tongues. Seeing that it was getting late, there was still no result.

Su Boxiu said, "Okay, okay, write a note on this matter and hand it over, I'll have a look and discuss it later. That's it for today!" After repeating these few sentences, I was tired of listening.

Seeing that Su Boxiu had spoken, the officials had no choice but to let Yu Qing go, and all bowed to salute.

Yu Qing thought to himself, Your Majesty is so pleased that the money is not in vain.

After coming down to court, Yu Qing took a quick stride and ran away. He ran directly to the Yamen of the Ministry of Industry, wondering where the chasing ministers could catch him.

When I came to the gate of the Ministry of Industry, I saw that the cement road had been dried, but he had ordered it before and hadn't walked it yet.

Without the slightest hesitation, Yu Qing stepped onto the cement road, feeling familiar, familiar feeling.

The road is not long, only a short section of paved road, but this short section of Yu Qing walked for a long time.

The east wind drifts and the water flows by itself, and the spring breeze also has a return day.Yu Qing secretly made up his mind to change Da Xia into the one he is familiar with, and one day tall buildings will rise.

An Guangze watched Yu Qing walking slowly step by step, and asked in surprise, "My lord, the way is over?"

Yu Qing nodded, "That's right, our Ministry of Industry has a bright future."

Walking into the Ministry of Industry, people are working hard to make cement powder. Although the situation is rampant, no one complains.

Yu Qing covered his mouth with his sleeve and ran into the main hall, "Ahem, this is not good. It's not good for people to breathe too much."

"But my lord, we only have this place. Fortunately, there are no people around, otherwise it will be troublesome."

Yu Qing nodded, it's better if the dust is blowing up. If you want to make gunpowder or something in the future, I'm afraid the entire imperial capital will be unsafe.

At this time, a person came in and said, "My lord, a servant said that His Majesty wants to summon you."

Yu Qing didn't dare to delay, and hurriedly followed the servant to the palace.

"Yu Qing, Minister of the Ministry of Industry, sees His Majesty."

"Get up!" Su Boxiu said lightly, "I heard that you rebuilt the road at the entrance of the engineering department?"

Only then did Yu Qing see a cement slab on the ground, rather a cement block, and the surface was not very smooth.

Yu Qing thought that there was a piece of cement missing at the door at first, and thought that a child had dug away the cement, so he arranged for someone to watch.

Looking at it this way, this "child" seems to be His Majesty, and it was taken to make this four alike.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, that is the concrete floor invented by my minister." Yu Qing replied honestly, secretly happy in his heart. At first, he was worried about how to attract His Majesty's idea, but now that the deal is good, the deal will come again.

"Is this cement mud?" Su Boxiu pointed to the cement blocks on the ground and asked.

Yu Qing nodded, "That's right, Your Majesty's cement is made from powder mixed with various soils and water."

"Then it's raining and muddy? I've seen it too. After it dries, the scum will fall off."

Yu Qing suppressed a smile and said, "Your Majesty, he has to smooth this thing on the ground or the city wall. If it is such an irregular block, debris will definitely fall out if it touches the corners."

"Let me tell you this, as long as it is poured well. Cement is invulnerable to water and fire, and it is basically difficult to destroy."

Su Boxiu looked at Yu Qing suspiciously, "Really?"

"If you don't believe me, go and see with the minister?"

So Su Boxiu pretended to go out, and left the palace with two guards. Yu Qing was not worried at all, because he knew that the emperor was going out, and the two of them on the surface estimated that there were more than 200 people secretly.

He didn't see anyone on the way from the palace to the Ministry of Industry. Yu Qing looked at Su Boxiu as if it was true.

When they came to the gate of the industry, the cement road was displayed in front of people.

Looking at the white road in front of him, Su Boxiu asked, "Is this a concrete road?"

"Reporting to His Majesty, yes, you can try it while walking."

After the words fell, Su Boxiu and the others stepped onto the concrete road and hid with their feet, it was firm and did not sink.

"Your Majesty, I suggest that the imperial capital pave concrete roads, so that when it rains, the road will not be muddy."

Walking on the smooth concrete road, what Su Boxiu thought was smooth and without pits, the cavalry would probably be faster on this kind of road.

"How long can this concrete road last without breaking?" Su Boxiu asked with doubts in his heart.

Yu Qing smiled and said, "Your Majesty, can you use a big sword?"

As soon as these words came out, Su Boxiu's eyes narrowed, then he nodded back to normal, and his own guard handed over his knife.

Yu Qing picked up the knife, pulled out the scabbard, and slashed hard at the concrete floor.But when he heard a "bang", the big knife broke, and only a shallow mark was left on the concrete floor.

Seeing this situation, everyone's eyes widened so much that even Xie Yuan was stunned.Only the guard who gave the sword secretly shed tears and felt sorry for his sword.

Su Boxiu suddenly drew the knife out of the guard's hand, and then slashed down.

"Your Majesty, be careful!" An exclamation sounded.
