I am a corrupt official, but they say I am a loyal minister!

They built a large and sturdy house in 4 days, and they were more than satisfied?

It was simply shocking, shocking from the bottom of my heart!

There are no adjectives that can describe their inner shock!

"That’s amazing!"An old minister's mouth trembled in shock:"A good, sturdy and durable house was built in four days! If this is the case, how can the people still not be able to afford housing?"

"Yes, and the process of making cement is so simple, much easier than making green bricks and red bricks, saving time and money! People can build themselves a house just by gritting their teeth!"

"No wonder Mr. Lin dares to praise Haikou! With a weapon like cement, how could it not be possible?"

"With cement, building a house can be so easy!"

……

Everyone praised me repeatedly.

Lin Beifan said humbly:"My lords, you are so grateful. I am ashamed to be a low-ranking official!"

The empress was also very shocked. Only when she saw it with her own eyes could she know the magic of cement.

Building a house is so simple. What if you use it to build bridges and pave roads, or use it to repair city walls?

What about using it to build other projects, such as water conservancy projects?

I don’t know if I don’t want to, but I’ll be frightened when I think about it!

If cement were used in these projects, I don’t know how much materials would be saved, how much labor would be saved, and how much food would be saved!

How much can be done with the money and food saved?

For the imperial court, this is definitely something that has more advantages than disadvantages, and it can definitely quickly enhance Dawu's strength!

No wonder Aiqing said that this cement is an artifact that is no less powerful than big balloons and hovercrafts!

Looking at it now, it really is so!

The empress' eyes softened when she looked at Lin Beifan.

This little villain gave me another big surprise!

I really don’t know how to reward him!

"This cement can be called an artifact that determines the country! The empress said very excitedly:"With cement, everyone has the opportunity to live in a good and durable house!" Moreover, cement can be used in roads, bridges, city walls and other projects! Just put some cement on it and it will become very strong! In this way, how can my great strength be weak?"

"What your Majesty said is absolutely true!"The officials nodded with a smile.

"But dear, you said before that you could build the house in three days, but now it takes one more day!"The empress smiled.

Lin Beifan replied calmly:"The reason why it takes an extra day is because it is our first time to build a house with cement and we are not familiar with it, so we move slowly! After everyone is familiar with how to use cement, the foundation can be dug and the wall built in one day. Then wait another day for the wall to solidify and cap it on the third day. Three days is just enough!"

Everyone smiled and nodded, very much in agreement.

"In addition, our cement plant has just been built and the cement output is limited! When our cement factory is expanded and more cement is produced, houses will be built faster! It is not a problem to build thousands or even ten thousand buildings in one day!"

"It must be expanded, and the imperial court fully supports it!"The empress said loudly.

Then, Lin Beifan took everyone to continue the tour, marveling and amazed all the way.

Regarding what Lin Beifan said, one million disaster victims can afford housing in two months, and a city can be built in three months. I am becoming more and more confident.

Even if it doesn’t work in three months, I can still do it in a year!

Isn’t it amazing enough to build a city in one year?

Finally, Lin Beifan led everyone to several large paintings.

"Dear, what is this? The empress was puzzled.

Lin Beifan smiled:"Your Majesty, and all your lords, please take a look!" This is a rendering of the city built by Chen!"

The empress and the officials looked at it and were shocked!

In the painting, the houses were lined up in rows and neatly arranged!

The roads were wide and straight, interconnected with each other!

The city walls were tall and strong, which could protect against foreign enemies!

How to describe this feeling?

It's like modern times People, it looks like a future technology city!

"Dear...can this really be achieved?"The empress was so excited that she was a little incoherent.

"sure! Lin Beifan was also very excited. He opened his arms and said loudly:"I only need to give you three months, and this miracle city will rise here and stand firm!""

"OK OK!"The empress cheered excitedly.

At this time, Qian Yuanshen, the Minister of Household Affairs, stood up with a sad face:"Your Majesty, good is good! But if we continue to build like this, our court’s money and food will simply not be able to support it! Especially food, there is really not enough!"

Everyone was poured cold water on them in an instant, and their joy disappeared.

Qian Yuanshen turned to look at Lin Beifan:"Master Lin, you said that this city can be built without spending the resources of the imperial court, but now. Why hasn't there been any movement?"

Everyone turned to look at Lin Beifan to see how he would answer.

"Even if Mr. Qian doesn’t ask, I will tell you! Lin Beifan smiled and said:"Although our court does not have money and food, many wealthy businessmen and families do!" Can't we just ask them to take out the money?"

"No, no! The veterans shook their heads one after another:"This kind of thing is against morality and is inconsistent with the law!" You have to do this unless you are forced to do so, otherwise the officials will force the people to rebel! Lin

Beifan made a gesture of reaching out to take out the money, and said with a smile:"Don't worry, sirs, I can let them take the initiative to take out the money and food!" And he is very active, scrambling to be the first, impatient, for fear of being late!"

"oh?"Everyone is very shocked and curious.

We actually want the wealthy businessmen to take the initiative to pay?

And they are scrambling and impatient for fear of being late?

They really don't believe it!

You know, they can't afford to be early because they have no profit. I only put money in my pocket!

If there is no big benefit, I will never take money out!

"Aiqing, what are you going to do? asked the empress

"Your Majesty, look at the quality of this cement. Once it solidifies, it is comparable to stone! How useful it is, it can be used to build houses, repair bridges and roads, it can be used in any project! The most important thing is that the price is not expensive. If I sell it, who wouldn’t want it?"Lin Beifan was very proud.

"Selling cement? No, no, this is a valuable national weapon and should be used for national use. How can it be sold to private individuals?"

"Yes, it must not be sold, and others are prohibited from using or producing it!"

"Such good things are only beneficial to the country if we have them in our hands!"

……

All the officials shook their heads, and the Empress also held a negative attitude.

Good things are meant to be held in hand, like big balloons and hovercrafts!

Only when you have it and others don't can you stay ahead!

Lin Beifan shook his head:"Your Majesty, gentlemen, I understand your thoughts very well! However, it is useless for us to do this. Sooner or later, the method of making cement will be leaked! Once leaked, others can produce cement. There is no way to prevent it. Can't stop!"

"Why can't I guard against it?"

"Because cement does not have such high technical content as large balloons, hovercrafts, etc., and can form technical barriers! The method of making cement is very simple. Just excavate the clay and limestone, burn the clinker, and then mix it with iron slag to make cement. Ordinary people will know it at a glance!"

"The materials are also simple, only clay, limestone and iron slag are needed. Except for iron slag which is difficult to obtain, the other two items are easy to collect! In this case, how can we prevent it?"

"We have millions of workers here, and people come and go every day. Maybe it has been leaked out long ago!"

Everyone fell silent and accepted this fact.

"Instead of doing this, why not use it to make money!

Lin Beifan smiled and said:"Cement has a wide range of uses and the supply exceeds demand!" Therefore, we can sell cement as a court monopoly, just like salt and iron, which can definitely bring a steady stream of benefits to our court!"

"I have already thought about it, we will use this place as the main production base of cement! Cement is produced from here and sold all over the country! To sell cement, you need dealers! Which businessman wouldn’t want cement, a powerful tool for building houses?"

"At this time, we can set up a contribution system!"

"We are undergoing great construction here, and we are short of food, clothing, money, everything! As long as they contribute their own money for construction, whoever contributes more, we will hand over the cement monopoly to him, and he can sell the cement of our court!"

"In this way, won’t our supplies be solved?"

Everyone was shocked!

Lin Beifan continued:"After all, only a few people can get the cement distribution rights! It doesn’t matter if you can’t get the cement distribution rights, as long as you make a huge contribution, there will still be rewards!"

"We can set up numerous tax preferential policies in cities to reward these contributors! For example, tax exemption for three years, half tax reduction for five years, etc. will definitely attract many businessmen to open factories and do business here, drive the economic development here, and solve the problem of work and food for many people!"

Everyone was shocked again!

Lin Beifan smiled slightly:"Your Majesty, and all your lords, wouldn't this material problem be solved? Not only solves the problemproblem, and at the same time, it also solves the future problems of food, clothing, housing and transportation for the victims. Our court can also make a lot of money from it. Isn't this good?"

The empress applauded first!

All the officials followed suit!

The empress said excitedly:"Wonderful! It's so wonderful! My dear, this plan, if done properly, will definitely solve the problems of millions of victims! At the same time, it can allow our court to benefit from it, so we can achieve multiple things with one stone!"

The officials were also very excited.

"Yes, even if I scratch my head, I still can’t come up with such a plan!"

"If handled well, all problems can be solved!"

"And if we contribute enough, we can make up for our previous losses!"

"This plan is great!!!"

……

The empress looked at Lin Beifan with bright eyes, as if looking at a unique treasure:"My dear, sometimes I really want to split your head open, why do you always have so many fantastic ideas! You are simply sent by God to save me. My great fortune!"

"Thank you for the compliment, Your Majesty, I am so ashamed!"Lin Beifan said modestly.

The empress said loudly:"Nothing bothers the two masters! My dear, since you proposed this matter, let it be handled by you. I fully support it! After things are done, let’s talk about merit and reward!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"Lin Beifan smiled.

A special economic zone in another world is about to rise in my hands!

Thinking about it, I was actually a little excited!
