Legendary star: Signed to the Palace at the beginning

Chapter 177 Cement Equity
Li Yu scratched his head and said, "I have no money."

Yang Guangdao: "If you don't have money, what do you invest in?"

Li Yudao: "I can work, as long as I have three spicy hot pot meals a day."

Yang Guangdao: "What will you do?"

Li Yudao: "I can settle accounts, I will collect money for you."

Yang Guangdao: "If you want to collect money, we have to pay to death."

Xiao Chuan said: "Ah Chun, it's okay for Xiaojun to come here to help, we just happened to concentrate on thinking about the new palace."

Yang Guangdao: "By the way, if you didn't mention it, I almost forgot that my father has already rewarded me with ten miles of land in Wannian County as a reward for recommending you."

Xiao Chuan said: "Great, I have produced the blueprint of the new palace in the past few days."

Yang Guangdao: "You can't do it alone, and you are not a professional. I know that there is a master craftsman who is said to be the successor of the Gongshu sect. He was implicated in the previous dynasty and demoted at home. If you can persuade this person to come out to help, the matter of the new palace will be settled." I can be [-]% sure."

Li Yuan said: "Could it be Yu Wenkai, the general master craftsman of the former Northern Zhou Dynasty?"

Yang Guangdao: "It is this person."

Li Yuandao: "Yu Wenkai can be said to be the number one craftsman in the world, but he was implicated and dismissed from office, and now he is disheartened, thanking guests behind closed doors, and seeing no outsiders."

Yang Guangdao: "That's right, after the emperor ascended the throne, he was asked to come out of the mountain to serve as the minister of the Ministry of Industry, but he refused."

Xiao Chuan said: "Ah Cheng, I know Yu Wenkai, so I went to persuade him."

Yang Guangdao: "There is another troublesome thing right now. The prince is jealous of our Malatang shop. Seeing that we have opened ten branches and made money, he wants to buy out the operating license of Malatang shop."

Xiao Chuan didn't care, and said, "Then sell him."

Yang Guangdao: "It's just a pity that I finally got a profitable business, but I have to share a piece of the big brother's pie."

Xiao Chuan said with a smile: "Ah Chen, there is someone who is more profitable to buy * * *, which can make a hundred times, or even a thousand times."

Yang Guang asked curiously, "What business?"

Xiao Chuan said: "Cement."

After eating the hot pot, Yang Guang and Li Yuan followed Xiao Chuan to the cement factory, and the little princess Li Yu also came to watch curiously.

The roads in the past were all dirt roads. Because horse-drawn carriages were used all the year round, the road surface was full of deep grooves pressed by the wheels of the horse-drawn carriages. The wheels of the carriages could only roll in the deep grooves, so the common people used to call them roads.

During the Warring States period, the axles of each vassal state were different, so the distance between the two deep grooves on the roads of each country was also different. For better transportation, Qin Shihuang unified the six countries and implemented the same track.

As the craftsmen worked hard, a two-way four-lane concrete road with a separation belt quickly extended outward from the stone mountain.

Yang Guang asked: "Cousin, can the cement you invented mixed with sand and spread a thin layer on the ground be used as a road?"

Xiao Chuan looked at the three-inch-thick cement road and said confidently: "Ah Sheng, don't worry, after the concrete mixed with cement and sand dries, the hardness will be no worse than that of bluestone. Just wait and see."

After the concrete pavement solidified and the health maintenance was over, Xiao Chuan asked Lai Huer to bring a big hammer, and said to Yang Guang with a smile, "Ah Chuan, try hitting the concrete pavement with the hammer to see if it can be broken?"

Yang Guang readily agreed and smashed it down with a hammer.

"Boom!"

Yang Guang's arms were numb from the shock, and he almost dropped the hammer. Looking at the concrete road, it was not damaged at all, but left a white crescent mark.

"Hahaha, cousin, you didn't lie to Xiao Wang, the concrete road is really solid."

Li Yuan, Lai Hu'er, Qu Tutong and others also smashed a few hammers with great interest, witnessing the firmness of the cement concrete road.

Xiao Chuan ordered someone to rush over to a carriage full of stones, and drove it on the concrete road for a certain distance. Except for two lines of dirty wheel marks left on the cement road, it was not damaged at all.

Yang Guang was clever and said with emotion: "Cousin, the invention of cement is too great. If we build cement roads throughout the Sui Dynasty, whether it is transporting troops or goods in the future, it will be fast and smooth."

Li Yu also said: "That's right, with the cement road, I won't be bumpy anymore when I ride in a carriage."

Yang Guang's brain was wide open, and he said, "Cousin, the concrete road is so strong, isn't it faster and faster to build walls and passes with cement than rammed earth and blue bricks?"

Xiao Chuan said with a smile: "Ah Cheng is really smart. Indeed, cement can be used not only to build city walls, but also houses, and even palaces."

Li Yu clapped his hands happily and said, "Great, Earl Turtle, the cement will definitely sell well, and I want to buy a share."

Yang Guang and Li Yuan looked at Xiao Chuan with greedy eyes.

Xiao Chuan smiled wryly and said: "Ah, Cousin Yuan, Xiaojunzhu, the cement workshop is not like the snack bars like Malatang. It is related to the national economy and the people's livelihood. We can't eat it. After seeing the benefits of cement, the nobles of the family will definitely Those who are eyeing us, if we don’t make it right, we don’t know how we were played to death.”

Yang Guang and Li Yuan are also thoughtful people. After hearing the words and thinking for a while, they understood the joints. Only Li Yu was still puzzled: "Then what should we do? Give the shares to the nobles of the aristocratic family?"

Xiao Chuan said with a smile: "How can the benefits be cheaper for them? They will not be grateful if the shares are distributed to the nobles of aristocratic families, but feel at ease."

Yang Guangdao: "I will accompany you tomorrow."

Li Yu became even more confused, and asked, "Where are you going tomorrow?"

Xiao Chuan flicked Li Yu's forehead with his fingers, and said, "You will know when the time comes."

Li Yu pouted, stomped his feet, and said coquettishly, "Everyone is playing riddles, it's annoying!"

Yang Guang, Li Yuan, and Xiao Chuan laughed loudly.

Xiao Chuan said: "Okay, we will write the contract in the afternoon."

In the afternoon, Xiao Chuan took a pack of A4 paper and a box of signature pens in the space warehouse.

Li Yuan went to be on duty, Li Yu went to count the money, Xiao Chuan and Yang Guang started to make the "equity transfer contract".

When Yang Guang saw the bag of A4 paper and the signature pen, he was about to bleed out, and when he asked the truth, Xiao Chuan also unceremoniously blamed it on the gods.

As expected of a genius, Yang Guang mastered the use of the signature pen after just a few tries, and the calligraphy he wrote was not inferior to hard pen calligraphy, which made Xiao Chuan, who had been severely beaten by various exams in later generations, blush for a while.

Parting, Yang Guang unceremoniously rolled up the remaining A4 paper and signature pen, and ran away.

The next day, Xiao Chuan and Yang Guang came to Dugu Jialuo's palace.

"Meet the queen mother (aunt)!"

Dugu Jialuo raised his hand and signaled with a smile: "Ah Cheng, Chuan'er get flat, you two sit down."

Yang Guang knelt down on the couch obediently, and Xiao Chuan followed suit, gritted his teeth and knelt down on the cold, hard short couch, thinking in his heart: "We must open a furniture workshop in the future, otherwise we won't be able to hurt our knees."

Yang Guang straightened his body and said respectfully: "My mother, Erchen and my cousin jointly opened a cement workshop. Considering the tightness of the royal family's funds, Erchen and my cousin want to give some of the shares of the cement workshop to my mother."

Dugu Jialuo reassured: "My aunt has grown up and knows that she can share her mother's worries. Although I don't know what cement is or how profitable it is, I accept your filial piety."

The Great Sui had just established the country, and Yang Jian returned the original Northern Zhou royal funds intact to Emperor Xun in order to win people's hearts. Now the Great Sui's internal funds are basically the savings of the original Suiguo government, which originally maintained a family The expenses are not bad, but if it becomes a facade to maintain the entire royal family, it will not be able to make ends meet.
