Wen Yanbo was at a loss, but his unlucky son Wen Jifu took the initiative to find him.

Since the last bronze price battle, Wen Jifu has been in charge of the market, but his pants have been lost. Wang Ning'an has not caused trouble for him, but Wen Jifu would rather Wang Ning'an arrest him or even kill him!

You should know that Master Wen has borrowed so much money, which creditor is easy to mess with? Wang Ning'an cuts his head at most, but lets the creditor catch him. That is to fall into the hands of his stepmother. Life is worse than death!

Fortunately, Wen Yanbo was very good at making a move and brought his son to the temple. He lived there for several years. In order to pretend to be like him, Wen Jifu even shaved his hair.

God is so pitiful that the dignified prime minister and son have become a monk Tupai. Needless to say, Wen Jifu is so frustrated.

Knowing that Wen Yanbo had taken over the project in Xindu and was operating a huge sum of tens of millions of chunks of money, the former creditor also wanted to follow Wen Yanbo's path and get some projects, so he let Wen Jifu go.

Young Master Wen was finally able to go home, but his father didn't like him at all, which made Wen Jifu embarrassed and like a ghost.

Just now, in order to see my father, I waited for two hours, and my legs were numb.

Wen Yanbo looked at him and felt sick, especially the small bun on his head, which was even more shameful!

"What are you here to do? I have nothing to study honestly. When my hair grows two feet long, I will come to see me again!" Wen Yanbo was like catching a flies. Wen Ji Fu Nuonuo lowered his head and said with courage: "The child has nothing to do and dare not disturb his father. When the child heard that his father was worried about the drainage of the palace, he happened to have an idea to offer his father."

"oh?"

Wen Yanbo finally became interested, "Tell me, let me see."

"My father, when the child was in the temple, he discovered an ancient pagoda from the Tang Dynasty. He was disrepaired and washed out the foundation. The child found that there were broken pottery in the soil. He thought it was something like jars and jars, but after digging it out and putting it together, it turned out to be a pottery pipe."

Wen Jifu took out a drawing from his sleeve and gave it to Wen Yanbo.

Mr. Wen looked at it and suddenly realized his eyes!

The pottery pipe has a diameter of three inches and is more than two feet long. Wen Yanbo asked in surprise: "Is this a drainage pipe?"

"That's right, the child has asked, and it's true that the pottery pipe can be used for drainage." Wen Jifu said decisively.

"This is so good!"

Wen Yanbo looked very happy when he waved his fist. Looking at his son again, he was not that disgusting.

"Since you discovered it, I will leave it to you. For the father, you must see the result as soon as possible."

"Abide by the order!"

Wen Ji Fu Xin went on happily. Half a month later, Wen Yanbo found his son again and asked about the progress, but the result was mixed.

The pottery pipe can indeed be burned out and used for drainage, but the problem is that with the level of Luoyang craftsmen, it can burn up to 5 inches in diameter. If it is larger, it will easily collapse.

Holding the thick pottery tube, Wen Yanbo kept shaking his head.

"Small, too small, the side hall is OK, but the main hall is definitely not enough, it takes a pipe of one foot and five feet to do it!"

Wen Jifu was very embarrassed, "Dad, that's all, why don't you add more?"

"This is a solution, just adding drainage pipes, I'm afraid the cost will increase again."

Wen Jifu's face became even more worried. Using pottery pipes was not cheap at all. If you add a few times more, the project budget could not be controlled... The way I finally found was still not good! It was so annoying!

Wen Yanbo was not that depressed, at least he had an idea.

"Start with the surrounding palace walls and the craftsmen continue to work... You kid is exhausted, go home and have some wine with your father."

Wen Jifu heard this and felt like he was amnesty.

My real father has been there for several years, and he is finally willing to drink with his child!

Wen Jifu felt so excited that he was so happy when he got his father's care again. He didn't go home directly, but found a bathroom, soaked away all over his body comfortably, and combed his hair less than a foot long, and wrapped it on top of his head. He didn't have much hair, so he covered it with a big hat. Wen Jifu was very careful and finished dressing up and was about to go home when someone suddenly stopped him.

"Mr. Wen, I've been waiting for you for a long time."

Wen Jifu was stunned. He owed too much money and had many enemies. A person suddenly appeared, scaring him to the point of being "You, who are you?"

"Hahaha, you are a noble person and forget about it. A few years ago, there was a fight in Kaifeng, and you and I were enemies!"

Wen Jifu subconsciously took two steps back, showing a horrified expression.

"You, who are you?"

When dealing with the man who took off his hat, he smiled and said, "The little one is Wu and his name is Wu Shicheng. It was sent by Mr. Wang."

Wen Jifu then remembered that indeed, during the Copper Price War, Wu Shicheng was one of Wang Ning'an's generals and did a lot of things.

He felt a little guilty, but he got his father's favor again. Wen Jifu was a little braver, straightened his chest and angrily scolded: "What, do you still want to seek revenge?"

"Hahaha! Mr. Wen, you are too underestimating Mr. Wang. The past is over. We will never meet each other without fighting. Mr. Wang asked the villain to send you a heavy gift. Why don't you ask me to sit in your house?"

...

In Wenjia Garden, peonies are in full bloom, wealth and prosperity are like a fairyland.

Wu Shicheng asked someone to carry a large wooden box. After opening it, it was full of straw. He took out the straw and gradually revealed his true appearance.

Wen Jifu approached, and this was a blue-gray tube, which looked like two feet in diameter and more than three feet long. People could crawl around inside without any obstacles.

"This, what is this?"

Wu Shicheng didn't say anything, but asked someone to bring a hammer and signal Wen Jifu, asking him to smash it a few times.

Wen Jifu swung the hammer and smashed it on the pipe.

Bang!

With a sound, some debris splashed out, but the tube was still intact.

"continue!"

Wen Jifu swung his arms for more than ten times, and his arms were sore, and he barely made a gap. This thing is so hard, like a stone!

Seeing that the Wen family's father and son were still hesitant, Wu Shicheng smiled and said, "Mr. Wen, Mr. Wen, this is the latest research by the Six Arts and Hundreds of Engineering Institute, called cement."

"How to use it?" Wen Yanbo said curiously.

"It's very simple. For example, this kind of pipe is made of a frame with iron tendons, then mix the sand and gravel with cement and pour it in. After a long time, the cement is dry, and a hard pipe can be made. This thing is used to drain water, divert water, and even act as a bridge hole. The best thing is that it can also be used to build walls and make cement columns. It is much stronger than wood, and it is also fire-proof..." After saying a lot, Wu Shicheng squinted his eyes, looked at the father and son of the Wen family who were fascinated by hearing it, and smiled and said, "Mr. Wen, do you know the purpose?"

Gudu!

Wen Yanbo swallowed his saliva, his eyes unable to leave behind the damaged cement pipe, "Such a good thing must be not cheap, right?"

"Of course not cheap!"

Wen Yanbo's heart thumped, and sure enough, he was coming to quarrel. He gritted his teeth, "How much does it cost?"

Wu Shicheng pointed at the tube with his finger, stretched out a slap, and flipped it back and forth four times.

"Twenty stakes? Or two hundred stakes?"

Seeing Wu Shicheng shook his head, Wen Jifu was even more surprised and said, "Is it two thousand guan?"

Wu Shicheng chuckled, "It's not a golden jade, so why is it so expensive? Such a pipe requires 20% cement. Of course, it's just cement. If the iron bars inside are included, the price will be 50%."

ah!

The Wen family’s father and son screamed together, not because they were scared, but because they felt it was too cheap!

One piece of ceramic pipe two feet long can also cost thirty or fifty cents. Such a large piece of cement pipe, which only costs 50 cents, is considered a bargain price.

Cheap, too cheap!

And what else Wu Shicheng said... It can not only pour cement pipes, but also pour columns!

My God!

What is the most difficult thing to build a palace? It is those large pillars that are thick and thin! The best golden nanmu wood must be used to prevent insects from eroding and biting, and it will last for a long time, and can also bear huge weight, reflecting the royal style. Such golden nanmu must be transported from the deep mountains of Shu, or from the Nanyang Sea.

Think about it, a huge tree several meters long, relied on manpower and animal power to transport it out of the deep mountains, load it on a ship, and then transfer to the capital. What an amazing cost!

Just a pillar costs tens of thousands of coins, not even manual labor. There are as many as dozens of civilians who are exhausted along the way...

In fact, whenever the court builds a large scale, there will be a group of Qingliu opposing it. It is not unreasonable, it is really costing too much!

But if cement is used instead, it will be as strong as a stone, and you will not be afraid of water and fire, or insects and mice.

How much cost can this save and how much speed can it increase...

Just thinking about it made Wen Yanbo feel excited. The old man has been practicing for a lifetime and has never moved his Zen heart. He claims that he has collapsed in front of him, but his face has not changed. At this time, his face is blushing and panting, his eyes are protruding, and he looks very excited... It took him a while for Wen Yanbo to calm down.

Others are old and Wang Ning'an is not a good person. The two of them have a grudge. His subordinates suddenly came to the door and brought such an important treasure. They must have had some plans.

"Mr. Wu, I don't want to go around with you. This cement is really too important to me. If you offer a price, as long as I can agree, I will definitely agree!"

"Hahaha!"

Wu Shicheng laughed, "Mr. Wen, with your old wisdom, you should see that cement is definitely a good thing that subverts the construction of thousands of years! Drainage pipes, pillars of the hall, these are still gadgets, the Great Wall and so many major towns in the border areas, if they are all built with cement, how much cost will it save? How much progress will it be increased? With such great uses, the profit of cement is self-evident!"

Wen Yanbo nodded, "It's true, it's of great value. I want to congratulate Lord Wang, he's rich again."

"wrong!"

Wu Shicheng shook his head and corrected: "It's not Lord Wang, but you and Lord Wang!"

"How to say it?"

"We are going to join forces with Mr. Wen to open a cement workshop. Both of us hold shares and make money together. I just don't know if Mr. Wen can agree?" Wu Shicheng followed Wang Ning'an's appearance, crossed his legs, waiting for the father and son to take the bait...
