I Became the Legendary Emperor Throughout the Ages After I Started Giving Away My Territory Chapter 42

They understood building houses, but what on earth was cent?

Was this thing used for building houses?

Why had they never heard of it?

Upon seeing their expressions, Lin Beifan knew what puzzled them and chuckled, Cent is indeed used for building houses! Its a product synthesized by mixing iron slag, quickli, and clay after calcination!

Using cent to build a house, if done quickly, can take only three to four days to harden, and its sturdiness is no less than that of our imperial palace compound. Understand?

The two of them gasped in astonishnt.

A house can be built in three to four days, and its sturdiness is comparable to the imperial palace compound?

How is that possible? Stop joking around.

I know you dont believe it, but soon you will understand!

Lin Beifan handed over the freshly written paper to Heshen, instructing him, Follow the thod outlined here and imdiately organize manpower to produce cent, the more the better! Once the cent is made, I will teach you how to build houses!

Yes, Your Majesty! Heshen respectfully received the paper filled with writing.

Although he still had many questions in his mind, seeing that the emperor did not wish to elaborate, he refrained from asking further.

The tasks commanded by the emperor, no matter how trivial, were of great importance.

After returning, Heshen quickly gathered his people and, following the instructions on the paper, produced cent.

Additionally, in accordance with Lin Beifans requests, he also made many brick molds.

Three days later, Heshen entered the palace once again: Your Majesty, the cent and molds have been made!

Lin Beifan put down the fruit in his hand, clapped his hands, and said, Good, then lets start building the house now! Call so craftsn over, I will teach them how to use cent to build houses!

Half an hour later, Lin Beifan and the others arrived at an open space outside the city.

Watch carefully, I will only teach this once!

Yes, Your Majesty!

Everyone bowed and obeyed.

First, mix the sand and cent together, it must be thoroughly mixed!

After the sand, stone, and cent are fully mixed, pour in water and stir until even! The ratio of sand, stone, cent, and water is

The resulting slurry is poured into molds to form mud bricks!

After these mud bricks are dried, they beco as hard as our common red bricks and green bricks and can be used for building houses!

Of course, during this process, Lin Beifan was mainly just talking while the people below were busy working.

A day passed, and the main task of the day was the production of mud bricks.

Once they are dried, they can be used for building houses! The sun has been shining brightly these past two days, so they should be ready to use the day after tomorrow!

On the third day, Lin Beifan ca again.

The mud bricks have dried and can be used to build houses! You are all skilled craftsn, so you should know how to build, right?

The only thing to ntion is that this mud can be used as an adhesive between the bricks, and its very strong

Under Lin Beifans guidance, the craftsn began to build the house with the mud bricks.

In about a days ti, they had finished laying the four walls.

Let it dry for a day, and once the cent is completely dry, we can start constructing the roof!

Two days later, Lin Beifan ca again and found that the cent in the walls had completely dried, becoming extrely hard.

Now we can put up the roof! Install the beams, and after the beams, lay the cent boards

The workers carried several long and thick wooden beams, placing them into the notches above the walls to form the horizontal beams.

Then, they laid the pre-dried cent boards on top of the beams.

Look, isnt this a big and sturdy house thats been well-built? Lin Beifan said with a smile.

Everyone was very astonished.

Really its been built!

And it only took 5 days! Such a fast construction speed!

Yes, the usual construction ti takes about 10 days to half a month, but now its done in 5 days!

A miracle! No it should be called a divine feat!

Lin Beifan laughed and said, Actually, it could be even faster because we spent two days making cent bricks! If we had the cent bricks ready to build the house, we could have built the walls on the first day, let them dry on the second day, and put up the roof on the third day. It could have been completely built in just three days!

Everyone nodded repeatedly, utterly astonished in their hearts.

At that mont, Heshen arrived in front of the cent house, pulled out a knife, and chopped down with a bit of force.

The result was that the structure remained unscathed.

Then he exerted twice as much strength, only to find that it still could not be penetrated.

Next, he used three-tenths, four-tenths, five-tenths of his strength

It wasnt until he used six-tenths of his strength that he managed to leave so marks.

But his knife had already beco notched.

Heshen exclaid in amazent, Such a hard wall! This humble servant had to exert 60% of my strength just to leave so marks! The robustness of this wall is no less than that of the walls of the imperial palace courtyard!

Really? Is it that sturdy?

Then I, too, shall give it a try!

Everyone took turns trying and found that, indeed, as Heshen had said, the house was extrely sturdy.
