Datang: Let you supervise the country and become an emperor through the ages

Chapter 329 Hou Junji is relieved
Li Shimin's tone of speech to Li Fu was completely pleading, even begging, which was also Li Shimin's brilliance.

He now knows that he can't communicate with Li Fu in a hard way, otherwise Li Fu will have thousands of ways to cheat you.

And once you treat him softly, take a soft approach, or hold him up and say a few nice words, it will often have unexpected effects, just think about it now.

"Okay, I'll make some arrangements and let Xue Rengui take charge of this matter." Li Fu waved his hand.

At the cement workshop, Li Fuyou arranged for Xue Rengui to be responsible for safety protection. Xue Rengui also knew about the use of cement.

Since Li Shimin begged him, Li Fu agreed to help, but it was impossible for him to supervise the work himself. Xue Rengui naturally became Li Fu's toolman and supervised the work for him here.

"Okay, thank you very much, then I will wait and see what I need to do, no matter what the conditions are, I will fully cooperate!" Li Shimin showed a very sincere and low profile, and Li Fu naturally couldn't refuse or delay, so he immediately arranged for Cao Shaoqin to call Xue Rengui .

Not long after, Xue Rengui took Modaoying and pushed countless trucks of cement to the city wall.

Li Fu had already left at this time. Li Shimin looked at the dusty cement with a confused expression on his face, and looked at Xue Rengui eagerly.

"Your Majesty, this is cement!" Xue Rengui hurriedly explained to Li Shimin, "With this cement, mixed with water and sand and gravel in a specific proportion, and supplemented with bricks, the city wall can't be repaired."

"Your Majesty, you see, these are red bricks that have just been successfully developed by the cement workshop. The city wall built with red bricks and cement is absolutely no less strong than the original city wall."

"It is no exaggeration to say that once the construction is completed, this section of the city wall will be the strongest city wall in Chang'an City!"

After this section is repaired, it will be the strongest wall in Chang'an City?Is it that exaggerated?Li Shimin said he was frightened.

After all, Li Shimin knew that among all the city walls of the Tang Dynasty, the city wall of Chang'an City was the strongest and most reliable. The place where it was built was made of the best clay and stones after being rammed and poured.

Even so, due to disrepair and war, this city wall has not collapsed for so long. As a result, Xue Rengui means that after repair, it seems to be several times and dozens of times stronger than the surrounding city walls!

If Li Fu said this, Li Shimin might still be skeptical, but when he heard it from Xue Rengui, Li Shimin was a little worried, thinking that Xue Rengui was speaking good things for the cement he presided over, which was exaggerated to the limit.

Seeing that Li Shimin looked unbelievable, Xue Rengui stopped talking nonsense and directly arranged for the craftsmen he brought to work with the craftsmen from the Ministry of Works arranged by Li Shimin to start repairing the city wall.

The night quickly darkened, but the construction site for repairing the city wall was still brightly lit, and the craftsmen were working hard.

Li Shimin was anxious at first. After all, Li Fu was not personally supervising the construction, so he didn't dare to go back to sleep, and stayed on the construction site himself.

But as time went by, Li Shimin suddenly became excited when he saw the city wall built of masonry and cement rising from the ground, climbing up little by little, and finally leveling with the existing city wall.

The prince sincerely does not lie to me, it was really repaired in one go. Seeing that the general frame of the city wall has been built, Li Shimin still wants to go back to rest, and even directly joins the team repairing the city wall.

But at this time in Chang'an City, Li Daliang still looked disapproving. He should eat, drink, and sleep. He didn't take the bet during the day to heart at all. For him, Li Shimin was definitely a loser!
But he could sleep, but Fang Xuanling and Changsun Wuji couldn't sleep, especially Hou Junji. Ever since Li Shimin and Li Daliang made a bet, he never went back to the Ministry of War, and simply worked under the city wall. In order to keep an eye on the construction progress of the city wall, you can know the first time.

Seeing that the city wall had been repaired little by little, Hou Junji finally let go of his nervousness and went back to sleep.

But Fang Xuanling, Changsun Wuji and others got the news from the servants, knowing that the city wall had been repaired in sevens and eighties, how could they stay at home, so they dressed neatly and ran to the tower.

When they arrived at the city tower, they saw Li Shimin and Xue Rengui under the city wall, looking up at the almost restored city wall, talking happily.

Has it actually been repaired?Fang Xuanling, Changsun Wuji and others were all shocked. It took less than a day's work to repair it, so it was repaired?Everyone quickly stepped forward and bowed to Li Shimin.

"Your Majesty, how did you do this? Why were you able to restore the city wall to such an extent in such a short period of time?"

Fang Xuanling stood up after saluting, and asked the question that all the officials wanted to ask. Everyone looked at Li Shimin eagerly, their eyes full of curiosity.

Li Shimin was triumphant, and was worried that he couldn't pretend to be aggressive, but he didn't expect Fang Xuanling, Changsun Wuji and others to come, so he suddenly became happy.

"I used cement and red bricks. The city wall built with cement and red bricks will be stronger and more reliable than ordinary city walls!"

"I dare to bet you all, when this section of the city wall is completed, it will be the strongest section of the entire Chang'an city wall!"

Hearing what Li Shimin said, Fang Xuanling, Changsun Wuji and the others stared wide-eyed in disbelief, thinking of reaching out their hands to the city wall tentatively. Seeing this, Xue Rengui hurriedly stopped him.

"My princes, the city wall will be repaired soon, but the cement has not dried yet. When the cement dries tomorrow, you will try again then, and the effect will be more obvious!"

Xue Rengui is very clear about the characteristics of cement. Before the cement is completely dry, the city wall is still in a very fragile state.

Looking at the sticky cement on the city wall, Fang Xuanling looked curious, "Is this how to make the city wall stronger? Is this cement really effective? Then who developed this cement? Never heard of it?"

Li Shimin laughed, "Of course you don't know, this is a new thing developed by the prince. Now in the outskirts of the city, the prince has built a cement cellar and a red brick workshop. I'm afraid you don't know about it! "

Hearing this, all the ministers shook their heads and understood at the same time. No wonder what they didn't understand turned out to be the crown prince's masterpiece. No wonder they were able to build the city wall in such a short period of time. It seems that the bet between Li Daliang and His Majesty was Definitely lose!
"Your Majesty, please go back to the palace to rest. It's enough to have the last general here. It's cold at night, so take care of your dragon body!" Xue Rengui was impatient with dealing with these big bosses, and wanted to ask God to go home.

But Li Shimin directly waved his hand and refused. He is now in high spirits, and he just wants to see the repaired city wall. He wants to be the first to walk up to the repaired city wall to test the firmness of the city wall, and he doesn't want to go back to the palace at all.
