Chapter 154 Master, you are too short-sighted

Bang!

Yao Jing aimed at the brick wall that had been built and smashed it hard.

This hammer used a lot of strength. After all, he vented all his anger at He Jin on this brick wall: The little brat, I have been tossing for so long, it turned out to be a broken wall. I think my master will not smash it for you!

However, his hands were numb and his mouth was about to crack. But the brick wall was still motionless... No, to be precise, the blue bricks were smashed, but the brick wall structure did not change at all.

Yao Jing was stunned for a moment, not even caring about the painful hand, and didn't know what to say: "Run, Runde, is this cement so hard after solidified?"

"Of course, it is as hard as a stone, immortal for thousands of years, and my disciples are not blown away."

He Jin was so happy that he smiled, and handed a hammer to Hao Fuyou: "Come on, Mr. Hao, come and try this cement block too."

Hao Fuyou's eyes were almost protruding at this time. He had vaguely guessed the magical use of cement before. After seeing the effect, he couldn't wait. He spitted on his hand with a few spits, and smashed the cement block with iron tendons a few times.

However, there were only a few white dots left on the cement block, which were still as hard as stone. Then, he threw the hammer head, poured water and roasted it with fire, and found that the cement block was still motionless!

At this moment, he couldn't help but tear his eyes, patted Hao Youqian's shoulder, and said excitedly: "Son, Dad raised you so old, and finally waited until you did such a beautiful thing! After you go back, you will double the money for the case!"

But Hao Youqian was still confused and couldn't help but ask, "Dad, this cement... is the business you are going to discuss. What's the use of this thing?"

When Hao Fuyou heard this, his face turned dark and he slapped Hao Youqian in anger: "Baby, you can't even see these things?...I'll ask you, what did I start with?"

"I used to burn bricks, but later I brought a group of Liba to build a house..."

"Then let me ask you again, do you need a lot of coal to burn bricks? Do you have to buy coal from He Sixing? Is this a business?"

"yes."

"In addition, the cement is fixed for a short time, waterproof and fireproof, and is not afraid of insects and rats being eaten. Does it save effort and construction periods when building a house with blue bricks? ...Does your father have to buy cement from He Sixing? Is this another business?"

"Yes." At this moment, Hao Youqian also woke up. The eyes of a crack were filled with the light of money.

It’s not that Hao Fuyou is so excited, but he really saw the huge effect of cement on blue bricks. No, it should be said that cement is the epoch-making significance of cement to the architecture of this era.

In the Ming Dynasty, blue bricks were not used to build houses. They were mostly used for large-scale projects or building courtyard walls, and the house structure was mostly made of wooden.

The reason for this is that there were no suitable adhesives such as cement in the Ming Dynasty.

For ordinary courtyard walls, just apply river mud and sand. Although the price is low, it will easily collapse and destroy after being soaked in rain for a long time.

Large-scale projects such as city walls require glutinous rice and egg white to make adhesive. Although it is solid after drying, the fool can also see that the cost of the project is extremely high and requires a lot of waiting time.

The emergence of cement undoubtedly solved the problem.

Cement can be poured into columns instead of wooden beams, so that blue bricks can be directly used to build houses.

If used for building walls, it can save costs, shorten construction period, and is also very sturdy and durable.

Even Hao Fuyou thought of using cement to make pipes, bridges, and canals for draining and diverting water, and would not leak or decay at all.

It can be said that blue bricks and cement are like green tea and green plums, and they are born to be a pair!

However, after being excited, Hao Fuyou looked at the cement lump and suddenly looked embarrassed again. He asked in a vain: "He Sixing, such a good thing must be not cheap, right?"

"Of course not cheap!"

Hao Fuyou's heart thumped. Sure enough, this greedy and smart Pixiu was just here to quarrel. But he couldn't resist the cement being too tempting, so he gritted his teeth: "How much does it cost?"

He Jin pointed at the cement lump with his finger and slapped him.

"Fifty-months? Or five hundred-months?"

He Jin shook his head.

Now, Hao Youqian was shocked: "It's not five taels of silver, right?"

He Jin then chuckled and put away his joke, "It's not a golden jade, it's not that expensive. Such a piece of cement is about five cents. If the iron tendons inside are included, the price will be ten cents."

ah?......

The father and son of the Hao family screamed together, not because they were scared, but because they felt it was too cheap!

The price of ten feet of wood used to make beams is at least two taels of silver. A beam that uses cement to make ten feet of ten feet of steel is only fifty cents at most, which is simply a bargain price.

Including the advantages of being durable, waterproof and fireproof, shortening construction periods and wide range of uses... Just thinking about it, Hao Fuyou felt that he had found a feeling of first love and was heartbroken.

"He Sixing, I, Hao Fuyou, don't say secret words, this business is decided by you!" Hao Fuyou, blushing and panting, was so excited.

After thinking for a while, he said something again: "As long as He Sixing guarantees, let the Hao family use this cement for half a year, I would rather pay ten times the price!"

In half a year, using cement to build the unique construction brand of Hao’s family, the profits earned more than money. Hao Fuyou is so rich, he is indeed very good at it.

But He Jin is not a vegetarian. When he heard this, he frowned and said, "It's not possible in half a year. At most two months, the weather will warm up in two months, and the sales of coal will inevitably be greatly affected. In order to support more than 20,000 disaster victims, I must turn cement into the main industry..."

With the banner of helping the victims, Hao Fuyou didn't dare to speak even if he wanted to get rid of the victims. Because at this time, Yao Jing's eyes had already begun to shine: "Runde, it turns out that this is your way to rescue the victims?"

The advantages of cement are so obvious, once it is sold, it will inevitably be in short supply.

When digging raw materials, firing, storage, transportation and sales, there is no need for manpower to take a link? In particular, He Jin also recruited a large partner. In order to open up the market in the short term, the Hao family will inevitably recruit a large number of manpowers...

In this way, even if the two families can't afford more than 25,000 victims, they will not bring any pressure to the city.

What’s even more amazing is that after He Jin’s operation, these victims not only did not become a drag on Cizhou, but also became a labor force to create wealth for Cizhou!

This kid is so outstanding. I really want to think how his brain has grown up, and how he can turn harm into profit and decay into magic!

However, just when Yao Jing thought he had guessed He Jin's plan, He Jin looked contemptuous and said to Yao Jing slowly and slightly disgusted: "Master, why are you so short-sighted?"

"More than 25,000 victims, at least 8,000 are high-quality labor. With such rich labor resources, you think of a single business model of boiling cement and building a house?"

"No, what else can you do if you don't boil cement and build a house?" Yao Jing was stunned and felt a little sad: What did he read so many books of sages? In the end, he was still despised by his kissing disciples?

"Of course we have to borrow such a huge amount of labor to carry out infrastructure construction!"

He Jin didn't have the heart to comfort Yao Jing's little resentment, but couldn't help but stretched out his arms and faced a dry river channel far away from Gushan: "As the saying goes, if you want to be rich, you must first build roads. As long as the infrastructure is built, you will have no problem with how to carry out diversified and complex business if you want to do it!"

At this moment, Yao Jing, Chen Ming, and the father and son of the Hao family couldn't help but follow He Jin's gaze and looked at the dry and deserted river in the distance, with a look of shock.

After a long time, Yao Jing swallowed with difficulty and said hesitantly: "Run, Runde, do you want to re-dile the Fuyang River?"

He Jin then snapped his fingers, and Yixing said in an enclave: "Yes, I want to make Fuyang River a real copper gang iron bottom!"
