When many craftsmen entered the palace, Chongzhen was still considering the relationship between cement and lime.

After all, as a programmer who often read novels online, I was curious to see someone who made cement and became rich after returning to ancient times. Although I searched for the method of making cement online, I only remembered that there were three things such as lime, clay, and gypsum powder to burn together. As for the steps? Precautions? Programmers said that it is what engineering dogs should know, and it has nothing to do with me? If you can get me a Baidu, I dare to study mushroom bullets for you.

As for what to do if you want to boil cement now? In Chongzhen's opinion, since he has remembered these three main materials and knows that it is necessary to burn them, he will just leave the rest to the craftsman to have a headache. He keeps trying, there will always be a day to try, and then slowly improve it, isn't it enough?

Seeing that Chongzhen was in a daze and turned a blind eye to the craftsmen coming in, Wei Zhongxian plucked up his courage and said, "Original, the craftsmen are here."

Chongzhen, who came to his senses, then looked at the craftsmen. When the craftsman saw the emperor looking over, he knelt down and shouted: "Caomin and others have seen Your Majesty, long live my emperor."

Chongzhen did not say that he was calm and exempted from rituals, and the craftsmen could only continue to kneel on the ground. After a while, he heard Chongzhen say, "I called you to the palace. It was because of a secret order. No matter what happened here, no matter what, no matter who, including your superiors and even the chief minister of the dynasty, even the family members, are not allowed to say it. Otherwise, one person knows to kill one person, ten people knows to kill ten people. Do you understand what the secret leakers do? "

When the craftsmen heard this, their hearts trembled. They thought that entering the palace was just a command from the emperor, but they never thought of taking such a fatal matter. However, the craftsmen still said in unison: "I will obey the order."

Chongzhen then said, "Get up. I'm doing this well. I'm not hesitating to give me a title. In addition, I have issued an order in the morning court today that the division of farmers and craftsmen will be abolished. In the future, your children can also study and become officials, and you don't have to be craftsmen anymore. It's just a trial before Tianjin Wei to observe the results."

The craftsmen immediately knelt down and said, "Your Majesty is kind!"

After ordering the craftsmen to get up again, Chongzhen said, "Among you, there are those who burn lime, those who burn bricks and tiles, and those who burn charcoal. And based on this, everyone will group and recommend the leader to come out."

After discussing and recommending the election, everyone elected three craftsmen. One was Zhao Da, who had burned lime all his life, the other was Liu Cheng, who had burned bricks and tiles all his life, and the other was Zhou Zheng, who had burned coal all his life.

Seeing that the craftsmen had finished their recommendations, Chongzhen said: "In all dynasties, the construction of cities was mainly based on Sanhe Earth. However, this thing is not easy to make, and the weather is about to be cold when working part-time. I want to build a temple for the Martyrs before the snowfall, so this Sanhe Earth is not available.

I have read classics and accidentally saw from a broken book that I mixed clay, lime, and gypsum together for burning it to get something.

This object is black and powdery. If it encounters water, it will soon condense and be as solid as iron and stone.

However, the word "in the residual book" is ominous, and the method of making it is missing, and it must have been destroyed.

I think that the ancients could make it, but I could make it even in the Ming Dynasty, it was just a few more trials.

This time, I summoned you to the palace for this reason. If you succeed, you will have no worries about the city of Ming Dynasty. You will also be awarded titles and leave your name in history."

Just after hearing Chongzhen say these words, Wei Zhongxian and Wang Chengen lowered their heads. Others don’t know, but they don’t know what books they had read before. It’s just the Confucianism wanted Chongzhen to read the Three Dynasties. How could there ever be a broken book that Chongzhen said?

But Chongzhen was the emperor. Since he said he had seen it, he must have seen it. The first rule of survival in the palace is that the emperor is always correct. The second is to listen to what should not be heard, let alone say it. Otherwise, he would not know how to die.

Just thinking about this, Wei Zhongxian showed a fierce look. His eyes were full of bad intentions when he looked at these craftsmen, but he planned to evaporate the more than ten people after they were finished, so as not to go out and talk nonsense.

Wang Chengen skipped a beat, knowing that Wei Zhongxian had already had the intention of killing. However, he wanted to remind the emperor, so that Wei Zhongxian would really kill all the craftsmen involved in it in order to keep the emperor secret.

In the next few days, Chongzhen was always paying attention to the progress of cement.

First, it is useless and cannot solidify no matter how it is done. It slowly develops to start solidifying, but it takes a very long time to solidify and is not resistant to heavy blows. It can often be broken with a small hammer.

Chongzhen, who knew the cement standards in later generations, was certainly not satisfied, so many craftsmen continued to try and try to meet the emperor's needs.

But no matter how Chongzhen kept it secret, the news of himself playing with mud in the palace was still spread. In the more outrageous rumors, he had become like Emperor Daxing Tianqi, but his hobby was a bricklayer!

The mood of the Ming Dynasty and the country was like ten thousand grass and mud horses galloping by.

Your brother is a carpenter, so you just play with mud? Do you want to form a brother building with your brother to build a house together?

Even the people are talking about it. But compared to the court, the people don’t care what your emperor likes to do. As long as the people have food, food, clothes and clothes, it’s fine.

The memorials of court officials to impeach Chongzhen's incompetence flew into the palace like snowflakes, especially the young censors, who were all like chicken blood, as if Chongzhen would not repent, and the disaster of the country was in front of him.

The annoying Chongzhen simply left all the memorials to impeach him without sending them. He also ordered Wei Zhongxian to investigate who leaked the news and killed several verbal eunuchs.

When they learned that Chongzhen killed the young eunuch, the court officials who suddenly became quiet. Only then did they remember that this emperor was no longer His Royal Highness, who trusted them very much when he was in the secret residence.

Now the factory guards are all in the hands of the emperor. In the capital, the people of Xuanda regard the emperor as the wise and sage emperor, and their power is chasing Emperor Chengzu. How dare the ministers make noise?

After about ten days, it was almost the end of October. The craftsmen in the palace finally came to report to Chongzhen. The gray powder that Chongzhen wanted was basically completed.

Chongzhen, who was overjoyed, hurried to Luban Hall, but saw those craftsmen surrounding a cement pile and amazed.

At this time, the craftsman holding a sledgehammer in his hand saw Chongzhen coming and hurriedly threw away the sledgehammer in his hand, otherwise he would have lost his head. After kneeling down to pay his respects, he also woke up a group of craftsmen.

Seeing this, Chongzhen ordered everyone to ask directly behind him: "What's wrong with this thing?"
