Three Kingdoms: Gou Shen I was overheard by Cao Cao

Page 401

Not only is it flat, there are no potholes or raised soil bumps, but it also looks extremely clean, and even dust cannot be seen.

It had obviously been cleaned!

Looking at Xia Houzhe's return, Zhang Ning, Cai Yan, Gan Mei, Xue Yan, and Mi Zhen came rushing screaming!They all fell into his arms.

"Husband, it's been another month since you left! The sisters miss you so much!"

"That's right! It was agreed to only go for half a month, but it took so long! You have to compensate us!"

……

Facing the complaints from the girls, Xia Houzhe was not stingy and kissed several times, which made the girls stay aside obediently.

Although he is very happy on the surface, he knows... there is no escape tonight!

The girls standing on one side surrounded the little sister Lu Lingqi, chattering and asking various questions.

"Xiaoling! Have you seen the emperor? Do you have four hands and three eyes?"

"Is it majestic? We have never seen the emperor!"

Lu Lingqi smiled: "Like ordinary people, not majestic at all, even downcast! Compared with our husband, it is much worse! Husband is the most majestic man!"

After finishing speaking, Lu Lingqi ran to Xia Houzhe's side and smiled at him obediently.

The picture in front of them made a few people feel black lines!In particular, Guo Jia's drama was a great talent, and his heart was hit hard!

"Yuanyi, is it inappropriate for you to kill the dog as soon as you enter the door? Made! Compared with you, I feel that my life is too miserable!"

"When I was young, I was called a brat, and when I grew up, I became a bastard. Now I'm fine... single dog! I'm just a history of the development of a beast?"

Xi Zhicai nodded in agreement, and issued a strong condemnation.

"That's right! It's too much! Can you think about the feelings of a single dog? My mother and fetus have been single for so many years, and I'm already very pitiful. You still let me see this?"

Xia Houzhe shrugged with pride.

"I can't help it. The relationship between the husband and wife is good, and they like to stick together! You can't be envious! And this love...isn't it just to show you single dogs? Otherwise, what's the point?"

Guo Jiaxi Zhicai's heart was so sweet that he almost spurted blood!Is this human?

Are singles bothering you?Have you eaten your rice?

Seeing a few people still wanting to complain, Xia Houzhe quickly changed the subject.

"Hey! The ground under your feet is made of cement! How do you think it compares to mud?"

Hearing this, everyone turned their attention to the concrete floor and stomped their feet vigorously.

"Huh? It seems quite solid, not as soft as the soil! Come on, let me see if it's really that hard, I hope it's as hard as a man!"

Cao Cao's face was filled with astonishment, and then he pulled out the Yitian sword, slashed hard, and sparks splashed.

"Damn it! Is it so hard? Even the Yitian sword can't be cut? It only scratched a little bit of the surface, leaving some traces? What the hell!"

After cutting, Cao Cao exclaimed suddenly, and looked at the Yitian Sword in his hand in disbelief.

He knew how sharp this divine sword was. Judging from the past, if the sword hit the ground, there would definitely be a deep sword mark!

But now... there are only light white traces, almost negligible.

Xia Houzhe stared at them as if he was playing with a monkey, and kept mocking them.

"You still want to chop down my concrete floor? It doesn't matter how high I made it! It's really beyond my control!"

"I asked Zhou Cang to make this thing five inches thick, even if you throw a few Harmony numbers, it won't crush it!"

The cement floor in my home must be of good quality, otherwise it will be pitted and pitted in a few days, which makes me uncomfortable.

And it's hard to fix!

He doesn't want to live that kind of life, three years old, three years old, and three years of sewing and mending!

At any rate, he is now a local tyrant, and his family is supported by a wealthy Mizhen woman!

Hearing this, everyone's expressions became even more curious. How hard is it?

Cao Chun, who didn't believe in evil, found a big hammer and hammered it hard on the ground.

The result was a lonely one!

His jaw was numb from the hammer still shaking!Almost got bounced on his head.

"Mother! Why is this thing so strong? Even my strength is hard to break! Is this cement? I thought it was a mixture of water and mud!"

They know Cao Chun's strength, even he can't be damaged, so you can imagine how strong it is.

Guo Jiaxi Zhicai also nodded: "We also thought it was water and mud, and we have laughed at the lord many times in private."

"[-] gold is exchanged for mud... I really have mud in my head!"

"I didn't expect it... This is not cement, it is obviously hard rock! It's too strong!"

Hearing this, the surprise and joy on Cao Cao's face disappeared instantly, and he directly put the sword on Guo Jia's neck.

The eyes are full of murderous intent!

"What are you talking about? Laughing at me in private? Pretend to be muddled? What a guts! Tell me, how do you want to die!"

"Is it me, Cao Cao, who can't lift a knife, or is it you, Guo Jiapiao?"

Guo Jia swallowed her saliva, and slapped herself a few times in her heart, why did she slip up?

His back was covered in cold sweat, and he smiled embarrassingly.

"Uh huh... my lord, don't... don't care about these details! The past is over! Facts have proved that you are still wise, my lord, and our eyesight is not good enough!"

Cao Cao put away the sword and stopped threatening him.

"Nonsense! If I'm not wise, how can I be the master?"

"You said... this thing is used to repair the city... can the catapult be smashed?"

Several people shook their heads resolutely: "That's definitely not possible! Such a hard thing, why are you afraid of catapults?"

"If you use this cement to build the city wall, then our Chenliu will definitely be the most indestructible city in the entire Han Dynasty! There is no army with more than ten times the strength that cannot be broken at all!"

Chenliu's city wall has been heightened and thickened twice by Cao Cao, and it is already ten meters high! 12 meters wide!

Even the capital cities of Chang'an and Luoyang are only 12 meters high.

But Cao Cao still has no sense of security in his heart, he always feels that he is not tall enough and majestic enough!

It may be because he was not born tall, so he always wanted to be tall in other places.

If it weren't for etiquette, the city couldn't be shoulder to shoulder or surpass the capital, Cao Cao wanted to make it 20 meters high, and it wouldn't work if the ladder hit the car like that.

But... there is no need to panic when building it now, he can build as many meters as he wants.

Even the emperor is in his hands, so why are you afraid of losing etiquette and being criticized by the world?

However, when they were overjoyed, Xia Houzhe gave them a reminder.

"Don't be too happy, if you cut corners with this thing, it will be useless! It may not be as good as your earthen city wall!"

"So when building a city wall, you must let honest people do it, and remember not to embezzle money for materials! Once a city wall is completed, it will be fine for a hundred years!"

Cao Cao nodded, deeply remembering his words in his heart!

Building the city wall... the first thing to rule out is Xun Yu!And Guo Jia and Xi Zhicai again!

These three old boys seem to be honest, but they are actually old fritters, full of bad water, and must not be reused!

Man Chong and Mao Jie... are pretty good!The new ones don't know the rules, let them do their best!

"By the way, brother, is this cement expensive?"

After thinking for a while, Cao Cao thought of the most important point.

As long as money is involved, he is very cautious.

Xia Houzhe took out his abacus and calculated.

"The raw materials don't cost money. They're all made of stones from the mountains, and the iron dregs left over after making a steam car with your family."

"Limestone and clay are the main raw materials, which are crushed, batched, and ground to make raw meal, and then fed into the cement kiln to calcinate the clinker, and then the clinker is ground with an appropriate amount of iron powder and gypsum."

"It takes labor to collect these things, coal is needed for kiln firing, and they have to be ground into powder after they are finished, and they must be dried and stored afterwards! The miscellaneous things are about thirty or forty yuan and one hundred catties! It's not very expensive."

"By the way, you all take a small notebook and write it down, you might use it someday!"

In fact, the cost is only about [-] yuan, but he needs to make money to support the workers to open the factory, so naturally he has to sell it at a higher price.

Hearing this, Cao Cao immediately exclaimed as soon as he made up his mind!

"Damn it! Wouldn't it take me a lot to build a city wall? Sigh...that's an astronomical figure!"

"No! I can't bear it! Brother, you can lower the price for me again!"

Although the price is not expensive, but too much material is used to build the city wall, it is a bottomless pit!Cao Cao was also a little startled.

Xia Houzhe curled his lips, pulled him away, and sat back on the rocking chair.

"You're trying to eat farts! I only gave you a discounted price because you are my brother. Otherwise, if I take out this cement, it will cost a hundred dollars a bag, and Yuan Shao and the others will rush to ask for it!"

"With a concrete city wall, it is almost equivalent to having an absolutely stable city. I will not be afraid of you coming with more troops!"

Cao Cao has no doubts about this, and the cement must not be revealed.

Otherwise, in the future, there will be an egg for my catapult?It must be strictly controlled and can only be used by yourself!

Thinking about it this way... Cao Cao was stunned!

Can I just buy it myself?

I spent [-] gold to contract the purchase right of cement?

I'm on a horse... A capitalist is a capitalist!No matter what he does, he won't lose himself!

Chapter 461 I'm Ready to Engage in Real Estate

Cao Cao's heart is bleeding!

I thought that the construction of the army is almost done now, as long as the money is invested in the steam car brigade and the steam car transport team.

But now there is another project that eats money, and I want to save money...it's too difficult!

"Brother, but I don't have so much money to buy cement now! You... lend me some more? Then I have money to buy it!"

Xia Houzhe rolled his eyes: "Get out! You are borrowing a pig from a tiger! The routine is very good. I spend my own money to buy my own things? Why don't you tell me to give it away for nothing?"

Hearing this, Cao Cao suddenly became coy and shy: "If this is the case, it would be great!"

Everyone was speechless for a while, and stroked their foreheads with their hands.

Xia Houzhe looked at him even more coldly, wondering how thick-skinned he was to say such a thing!

"Hey! I found that your skin is getting thicker and thicker! Is it hard?"

Cao Cao waved his hand indifferently. In front of Qian, his face counts as a ball!

He will always remember what Xia Houzhe said, people are shameless and invincible!

"Brother! That's not what I said, look... your home is also in Chenliu, right?"

"If you build a strong city wall, your safety will be guaranteed! In this way, you will not be afraid of the enemy breaking into the city! You are buying an insurance for your own safety!"

Cao Cao earnestly persuaded him that he was willing to do what he could do to save money by talking about it!

Just like bargaining, what is lowered is equal to earning!So don't be shy about it.

Xiahou Zheli ignored him, lying on the rocking chair and enjoying the woman's massage.

"The city is broken, what's the big deal, I won't be able to surrender? What a big deal!"

Everyone was stunned for a while, how can they say surrender so confidently?

Cao Cao has nothing to do with him!This matter... he is afraid that he can do it for real!

Threats won't work anymore, you can only please!

Cao Cao smiled obsequiously and snatched Xia Houzhe away from them.

"Hey! Brothers and sisters, get out of the way! My younger brother is tired from running around with me, let me give him a massage!"

This shameless appearance made Guo Jia and the others feel ashamed!
