"Continue to say...!" Zhang Jing looked at Zhao Fang, captain of the third team.

"Abide by the order..." Zhao Fong bowed, but soon Zhao Fong said something troublesome, and then he heard Zhao Fong say: "Now, not only did Yan Hongxin be found, but Princess Gaoyang also found. The two of them have cooperated to become the mastermind of this food swallowing...!"

"Princess Gaoyang..." Zhang Jing showed a frown expression slightly.

"Hiss..." He took a breath and said, "How could she be... This Fang family is not the best at calculating. Why did they do such a thing this time... It's unreasonable."

Then Zhang Jing waved his hand: "We need to continue to investigate this matter. First, we will control all the grain merchants, and secondly, we will take the Yan Hongxin to prison. We will also check if there is anyone behind Yan Hongxin. If there is... Yin Hongzhi or Yan Xianfei Concubine."

"As for orders..."

After that, the Badman Team 4 and the Fifth Team also mentioned their investigations in turn, but neither attracted Zhang Jing's attention. The food engulfment case of the Third Team was Zhang Jing's most attention.

If Princess Gaoyang is not involved, then Zhang Jing will go to the palace overnight to repay him.

But this involves Princess Gaoyang and Fang's family, so Zhang Jing has to wait... However, no matter what, this food swallowing case is Zhang Jing's first case for bad people.

Because this case can be promoted to the Li family's goodness, it has also given a blow to the aristocratic families, because the grain merchants are basically shadows of various families, raising the royal family and belittling the family.

Zhang Jing will never miss it.

................

The next morning, Princess Gaoyang took action and began to clear the details of the food swallowing this time... The reason given was that Fang Xuanling was angry, and this reason was actually acceptable.

After all, the Fang family does not necessarily need such money, and when Gao Yang’s father-in-law gets angry, he naturally has to quit.

The grain merchants even had a happy moment because as long as Gao Yang could withdraw, they could make more money. However, Gao Yang's withdrawal this time gave another person a dangerous signal, and that person was Yan Hongxin.

Because of Gao Yang's withdrawal, Yan Hongxin smelled a bad feeling, so he was ready to plan ahead of his plan.

Dunhuafang started to get busy early in the morning. Li You divided the 3,300 people into several groups... The elderly and children went outside the city to pick up firewood and weeds.

Then we set up a burning group, which is also composed of children and the elderly.

After the burning is done, it is filtered, and then it is cooked again after the filtration is done... Then it is boiling lard. After all the processes are divided, Li You found that less than half of the people have been used, and most of them are elderly, children and women.

The strong labor of 622 people is of no use at all. The main reason is that the soap is really not necessary to make strong labor. In this case, Li You is preparing to start making another thing. With this thing, the speed of building a house in Dunhuafang can be increased.

Haha... Someone must have known what it is.

That's right...it's cement!

In the 8th century BC, some forms of cement were used by people. The Egyptians built pyramids with lime mortar, while the Romans built the Roman amphitheater with hydrocarbon cement and the same famous temple of the gods and ancient stone paths.

Ancient China also began to use lime lime mortar in the 7th century BC.

During the Southern and Northern Dynasties, building materials for glutinous rice and lime mortar were invented. The strength was much greater than that of pure lime mortar and very strong. During the Ming and Qing dynasties, many buildings had brick walls made of glutinous rice and lime mortar, and they stood firm after a hundred years.

However, the construction cost is expensive. Except for the government, the other people really cannot afford it. Therefore, during the Tang Dynasty, wooden houses were basically the main ones.

Cement in the modern sense was invented by the British in the 18th century. After cement entered China, it was called "economic ash". In 1889, Chinese talents founded the first modern cement factory. Therefore, as long as they traveled to the Qing Dynasty, they could invent cement and gain gold and silver for themselves by inventing it.

And making cement is very simple:

Raw materials: limestone, clay, iron slag

Manufacturing: grind limestone and clay into surfaces, then calcined into clay material and then grind into powder with the remaining slag after iron smelting.

Just this sentence is very simple! The principle, the steps and the steps are not something that travelers worry about learning. In ancient times, mature lime firing technology had already been established, and there were no technical barriers. Many technologies are just inspiration, but it is worthless to put it bluntly.

Cement is very useful, the first point is cement roads: if you want to be rich, you must first build roads. This is a familiar truth for modern people.

In ancient times, there were many mud roads, which were easily damaged by wind and rain. The brick roads or some eggs and glutinous rice roads were too expensive and could only be built on a small scale.

Therefore, the significance of building cement roads is vast, including communication, marching, grain roads, trade, etc. In general, the territory of ancient China was limited by the range of information radiation, which was too far away and could not be managed by the central government. Convenient transportation could strengthen the control of the border and increase the radiation range of the regime.

The second is to build a city: this is mainly to build a military fortress. A simple and easy-to-built military fortress is of great significance to resisting foreign tribes and strengthening the border.

He did it as soon as he said that, Li You immediately sent Xue Rengui's second brother to do this. Xue Rengui's second brother was Luo Jin... He is a native of Chang'an. With him to help Li You buy in Chang'an, it would definitely be twice the result with half the effort.

After the matter was explained, Li You sat on his second floor and looked at the busy figure below. At this time, Xue Rengui walked up and said, "Wuron... I have recruited thirty people... But I am just worried that this matter will attract the attention of the court. If someone is interested in expressing you... it will be troublesome."

"Brother-in-law...it's just thirty people, don't worry... We are also trying to protect ourselves. Qinglongfang is next to Dunhuafang. There are all kinds of bastards in that shop. I feel uneasy, and the whisper is here, so no one can take it lightly... If something happens, I think your Majesty will help me with it..."

"That's good... Then I'll start training..." Xue Rengui nodded and then went downstairs.

A smile appeared on Li You's lips. There are now thirty people, and there will be three hundred people in these thirty people, three thousand people... The towering building is rising from the ground... Li You showed the sleeve arrow on his wrist and smiled: "I really hope I will never use you in the future."

"Ha ha ha ha...!"

At this moment, Yizi's happy laughter came from below. Li You looked down and found that it was a few little guys who were about the same age as Yizi, who came back from outside to pick up firewood and caught a little rabbit for Yizi.

The hare is still black, at least Li You didn't like it at all, but Yizi regarded it as a treasure. She told Li You that this was the first time she had received a gift from a friend.

Later, Weizi gave her a gift to each of her rabbit children. The gift was a very precious lollipop.

Li You is really glad that his sister is so cute... He will definitely swear to protect his sister like revenge in the future, and no one can hurt him!
