Chapter 521: Retire with the country and honor for generations!
"See Your Majesty!"
"Students meet your Majesty!"
On the top of Polu Mountain, on the engineering test site of the Martial Arts Academy, the students and officials knelt down and shouted.
"My dear friends!"
The emperor came down to the imperial throne and looked around the entire test site, and his eyes instantly fixed on the grayish white color.
Walking quickly to the edge of the concrete, the emperor's joy was even more uncontrollable.
"well!"
The emperor kept saying goodbye, then turned around, glanced at the officials of the Martial Academy to sacrificial wine, and directly frozen on a beautiful figure among the students.
"Jiang Hua, come here!"
The emperor waved, and the student was stunned. He realized that he was reminded by the student on the side and came trotting.
"Your Majesty, you call me?"
"Who are you called?"
The emperor didn't care about Jiang Hua's rudeness at all and asked with a smile: "Did you make this cement?"
"I heard from Your Majesty that you said before, so I thought about it. I also asked Senior Brother Li Wei and others to help me think about it..."
"But the students think that there is still a lot of room for improvement in this cement..."
"Okay, what you need, just tell Liu He!"
After saying that, the emperor looked at Liu He, the priest of the martial arts academy: "If you have any needs, you should do your best to solve it. If you can't solve it, please submit a memorandum and I will solve it!"
"I obey the order!"
Liu He immediately bowed and replied.
The emperor said again: "Test the regulations and take a look."
Liu He quickly took out a booklet from his arms recording the various test results of cement and concrete these days and handed it to the emperor.
After the emperor looked through it for a moment, the joy between his eyebrows became stronger and stronger.
Although he came from later generations, he only had a rough understanding of most of the things in later generations. If he really wanted to make them out, he would not have the ability, and of course, he would not have the energy.
Therefore, after the engineering department of the Martial Arts Academy was formed and had a certain research and development foundation, the emperor mostly gave a direction and then allowed the students to study it. As for how to study it and when it could be studied, this is not something he could interfere with.
This cement is of course the same.
Of course, in this era, there are not anything that can compare to cement. Just like the three-dimensional soil used for road construction and city defense today, the texture is not much worse than that of concrete.
However, the precious materials used in Sanhe soil are destined to be impossible to use on a large scale.
After all, the main ingredients of Sanhe Earth are glutinous rice and egg white. Not to mention that in this era when most people cannot eat enough, even in later generations, large-scale road infrastructure construction would not be so luxurious!
What the emergence of cement means is naturally very clear.
If you want to be rich, you must first build a road. This sentence has been the most reasonable thing since ancient times!
In this era, it was not like the later generations where roads were connected to every village. Most of the official roads were disrepaired for a long time, and places without official roads were even more difficult to walk on.
Just like when the army went to war in the war of founding, nearly 70% of the food and grass were consumed on the road after the war.
Just that, it is completely conceivable how useful a smooth road is!
This booklet that records test data has clearly listed the benefits of concrete roads.
For example, in one of the experimental data, even if there is no improvement in transportation, a smooth concrete road, compared with the current road conditions in Daheng, is enough to increase the speed of road transportation by at least ten times!
After reading for a long time, the emperor slowly closed the booklet, pondered for a while, before looking at Jiang Hua beside him:
"Can this cement be manufactured on a large scale?"
Jiang Hua said: "It's just that the quality is currently available."
"OK!"
The emperor nodded, his eyes fixed on the concrete for a moment, and then looked at the engineering scientists in front of him: "In this way, Wang Wu, go and prepare, build a cement factory outside the city, and start production first."
"Cement is first set to set a market price and the treasury is allocated to purchase it. From now on, in the next ten years, 10% of the profits of cement production will be given to engineering for research and development, and 10% will be given to Jiang Hua himself!"
As soon as the emperor said this, the whole audience was silent, and the students and ministers were either shocked, unbelievable, or looked confused and dazed.
Cement production, 10% of the profit in ten years!
How terrifying this number will be, you really don't have to think about it.
Moreover, what is the biggest function of this cement? Building roads, building cities...
Which one does not require a massive amount of cement!
The emperor seemed not to care about the shock of those present and continued: "This example should be customized!"
"The Engineering Department has temporarily established a patent office. All students' research and development results can be registered for patents. Patents are divided into two categories. One is a secret level and cannot be leaked. They can only be produced by an internal court trading bank. This secret level patent will be implemented in accordance with this example."
"The other type is non-secret level, and can be used to the world. What is the specific details of the two? Liu He, you will draw up a charter."
The emperor said that the amount of information was too large and too large. For a moment, Liu He couldn't react, but he subconsciously responded: "I... I obey the order."
The emperor nodded and looked at the confused Scientist of the Technique and Jiang Hua in front of him, and his expression suddenly became much softer.
Engineering is a master of the times. All of these students have gone through many tests, and their talents are the best ones in a million.
It is no exaggeration to say that these people are the crystallization of the flower of Daheng's science.
Even half of the country is not as important as these students in the hearts of the emperor.
Naturally, the emperor also had a unique tolerance towards these students.
Thoughts flashed, and the emperor immediately spoke: "Jiang Hua, Li Wei, Wu Xiao obeyed the order!"
"Students are here!"
Jiang Hua and his friends subconsciously bowed.
"The use of cement is beneficial to the present, and it will benefit the country and the people..."
"I granted the title of Viscount Jianghua, rewarded a thousand taels of silver, and awarded iron vouchers for alchemy books..."
"Granted the title of Baron Li Wei, and rewarded silver, money and food..."
