I'm a marquis in Datang

After Yuan Kewang agreed, he turned and left.

After Yuan Kewang left, Du Qi didn't care about the cement for the time being.Anyway, this thing has been handed over to Yuan Kewang, and the next step is to wait for Yuan Kewang to research it.

But even if there is a formula, it cannot be produced in a short while.In each process, careful exploration is required to be able to figure out the situation.

Time passes day by day.

Entering December, the weather is getting colder every day. Although it is not to the point where the dripping water turns into ice, the wind and snow outside are getting stronger, and there are fewer pedestrians on the street.

A lot.

By the end of December, it was almost the end of the year, and the bank had quietly opened.Chang'an Datang Bank, Du Qi was extremely low-key, never publicized it with much fanfare, and only conducted it in a low-key manner.

This day, in the evening.

While Du Qi was reading, Yuan Kewang came again.With an excited expression on his face, he said, "Master, it's done, the cement has been made."

Du Qi put down the books in his hands and said, "Since we have cement, have you made a sample yet?"

"It's done."

Yuan Kewang nodded hurriedly to answer.

The sample he made is a stone slab based on cement.After the cement slab is hardened, it is extremely hard, and ordinary swords and swords slashed on it, but they will not stop, leaving at most a few marks.

Du Qi said: "Go, go and have a look."

Yuan Kewang led the way, and after a while, he came to the workshop again and came to the hardened stone slab.Yuan Kewang knelt down and said, "Master, this stone slab was molded and poured with cement slurry last night. After a day of solidification, it is finally completely hardened. You can step on it and try it with a sword."

Du Qi took a knife and slashed directly at it.

When the knife was cut down, the blade rubbed against the stone slab. Although some stone chips flew out, only a mark was left on the slate.For this slab, nothing has been affected.

"Good, good, good!"

After seeing this, Du Qi showed a bright expression on his face.

It's done!

Cement slabs are made.

With this cement, concrete can be produced by mixing sand and gravel, so there are more places available.Once large-scale production, for Datang, it will be another change.

Of course, for Du Qi, whether there is change or not, he can't control so much for the time being.To change Datang, Du Qi did not have the ability.Now Du Qi is still making money, and doing some things to help others within his ability, that's enough.

Du Qi looked at Yuan Kewang and ordered: "Master Yuan, the cement formula is very important and must not be disclosed. Moreover, this item can make a lot of money. I will arrange for people to build a factory outside Chang'an City to produce cement on a large scale. As for the cement production, you are fully responsible. As for the sales and the management of the cement plant, I will arrange for someone to take up the post and complete the site selection as soon as possible.”

"Thank you, son!"

Yuan Kewang promised: "Young master, please rest assured, I promise to complete the task."

His heart was extremely excited.

He was a master in the workshop in the house, with an ordinary status, and now.Becoming the person in charge of cement production, for Yuan Kewang, he jumped out of the Du family's internal workshop in one step and became the real shopkeeper of cement production.

Although Yuan Kewang never went out, he also knew about various industries such as down jackets and tea.

These are extremely profitable.

Everyone is on his own, and now he goes out to work for Du Qi, and it's the same.

Du Qi ordered: "Move this piece of slate to my study, it will be useful to me. Besides, I will make some more cement and start to study mass production."

"Yes!"

Yuan Kewang quickly responded.

Du Qi turned and left, leaving behind Yuan Kewang who was admired by every craftsman.Everyone came forward to say congratulations, because the current Yuan Kewang just jumped up, and since then he has jumped out of the Du's workshop.

Chapter 502

Li Shentong was attacked

When Du Qi returned to the study, he was quite emotional.

The appearance of cement means another change.Especially in the past one month or so, the Chang'an Bank has been in operation. Although Du Qi has kept a low profile and never publicized it, the Datang Bank in Chang'an has been in operation, and it will be connected with the Datang Bank in Daizhou.

However, Qianzhuang has not yet exerted its power and has not highlighted its role.After all, it is a new thing, and many businessmen do not understand it for the time being, so it is not clear for the time being.

Du Qi was not in a hurry about these.

Take your time.

The next morning.

Du Qi got up early to wash up, had breakfast, and stayed at home to read.Just after noon, Du Qi finished his nap after lunch, and just after getting up, an eunuch in the palace came to convey Li Yuan's oral order, calling Du Qi into the palace.

It was very windy and snowy outside, so Du Qi put on his down jacket and entered the palace in a carriage.When the carriage stopped at the gate of the palace, Du Qi took off his down jacket and entered the palace in official robes.

When he came to the Ganlu Hall, Du Qi saw Li Yuan, bowed and saluted, "Your Majesty!"

At this moment Du Qi looked to the left and right, and there were Li Shentong, Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji.In addition, there are Li Shimin and the rest of the imperial family, and the Li family's relatives are all gathered.

This is the way for the Li family to celebrate the new year.

Li Yuan had already told Du Qi that he wanted Du Qi to participate.Although Du Qi wanted to go home to watch the New Year's Eve at night, so he didn't have to stay in the palace to have fun with everyone, but now he can participate together, which is lively and lively.

With a smile on Li Yuan's face, he said, "Erlang, sit down!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Du Qi walked over to the last seat on the right, and after sitting down, Li Yuan summed up the past year and looked forward to it.

next year.After these words were finished, Li Yuan offered everyone a glass of wine.

After Li Yuan finished speaking, they each drank.

Toast and chat, the atmosphere is harmonious.

Although Du Qi is young and not a clan relative, in fact, Du Qi's influence in the clan is not weak.In particular, Du Qi's father had worked for Li Shimin, and Du Qi was considered to be on the side of King Qin's mansion, and many clan relatives were on King Qin's side.

Many clans are quite kind to Du Qi.

Three rounds of wine, five flavors of food.

The atmosphere at this time is even more lively.But at this time, Li Shentong stood up, and he walked to the big hall.

In the middle of the hall, after bowing respectfully to Li Yuan, he said: "Your Majesty, today is the New Year's Eve, and the celebration at the end of the year is an excellent thing, and we shouldn't talk about government affairs. It's just that I have something to do here, so I don't want to talk about it. "
