"Achoo ~! Achoo ~! Achoo ~! "
After waking up from his afternoon nap, Li Zexuan inexplicably sneezed a few times. Han Yuxi, who was at the side, quickly came over and grabbed his arm. She asked worriedly,
"Husband, did you catch a cold?"
"How is that possible?"
Li Zexuan shook his head. He was a Guru expert. How could he catch a cold so easily?
"How could I catch a cold on such a hot day? Someone must be scolding me! Achoo ~! "
"Husband, you're talking nonsense! Why would someone scold you when you're fine? Also, who said that you won't get sick when it's hot? You might even catch a cold! I'll get someone to find a doctor to help you take a look! "
Han Yuxi gently pinched Li Zexuan's arm and said angrily.
"Haha ~! No need, no need! Wife, have you forgotten that I'm also considered half a doctor? I'm definitely fine! By the way, aren't you still going to Mother's place in the afternoon? "
"Ah ~! I almost forgot. Mother must be waiting anxiously, right? "
Han Yuxi exclaimed when she heard that. However, she was still a little worried and said, "Husband, are you really fine?!"
"Ha ~! I'm really fine! Wife, hurry up and go! "
Li Zexuan rubbed his nose and waved his hand.
"Okay! Then I'll go! "
…
In the afternoon, Li Zexuan went to the workshop to check on the progress of the cement research.
"Young Master, the hardness of the cement we've made so far hasn't reached your previous requirements after solidification. If it's used for construction, it's really not as strong as glutinous rice mortar!"
Faubert knew the purpose of Li Zexuan's visit today. He directly came over with a lump of cement and said.
Li Zexuan took the cement and gently pinched it with his fingers. It instantly turned into powder. The quality was not good!
"Faubert, there must be a problem with this formula! Tell the craftsmen to continue experimenting with new raw material ratios. Real cement will definitely be dozens of times better than glutinous rice mortar! "
Although he was a little disappointed, Li Zexuan still encouraged Faubert to lead people to overcome this technical difficulty, because the use of cement was really great. If they gritted their teeth and researched it, they would benefit endlessly in the future.
"Yes, young master!"
Faubert felt ashamed in his heart. He cupped his hands and sighed, "But this old man heard that Young Master has recruited thousands of craftsmen and that the construction of Yanhuang College is imminent. This old man is really anxious!"
Li Zexuan smiled and comforted him, "Faubert, don't worry. The academy can use the glutinous rice mortar first. It's not a problem! This time, Liuli has earned me a lot of money, so tell the people below to not worry. Sometimes, the more anxious you are, the less inspiration you have! "
Li Zexuan was, of course, anxious in his heart. However, he also majored in engineering in his previous life. Naturally, he knew that in scientific research, when faced with difficulties, the more anxious you are, the more difficult it is to solve the problem. On the contrary, in some inadvertent moments, you can come up with some particularly good ideas.
Fortunately, Li Zexuan had prepared for both sides from the very beginning. Whether the cement was made earlier or later, it would not have a big impact on the result.
"Thank you, young master, for your understanding. The workshop will definitely do our best to research the cement as soon as possible!"
Faubert heaved a sigh of relief and cupped his hands in respect.
Li Zexuan nodded and said, "Okay! Faubert, tell the craftsmen in the workshop to prepare. In two days, the academy will officially start construction. Time waits for no one! "
"So fast!"
Faubert was shocked. Although he knew that the academy would start construction soon, he did not expect it to be so fast.
"Yes! According to Butler Wang's calculations, we should be able to recruit all the craftsmen and laborers in two days. The earlier we start construction, the earlier I feel at ease! "
The reason why Li Zexuan offered such a high salary to the craftsmen and laborers was so that he could recruit all the craftsmen in a short period of time and start construction as soon as possible. Now, it seemed that the effect was quite good.
Money makes the world go round. This sentence was not without reason!
"Okay, then I will help you keep an eye on things. Although my old arms and legs can't carry things, I can still be the supervisor for you!"
"Haha! You can't do that! Faubert, you are now the treasure of our workshop! The weather outside is so hot, I don't want anything bad to happen to you! "
…
Two days passed in the blink of an eye.
In the past two days, the storm of the Immortal Mirror had become more and more intense in Chang 'an City. Those who had bought the Immortal Mirror before naturally showed off to their friends in various ways. The clarity and magic of the Immortal Mirror spread like wildfire. More and more people knew about the Immortal Mirror, and more and more people wanted to buy it.
However, what drove everyone crazy was that the Immortal Mirror did not appear in the Curious Pavilion in these two days. It was as if this thing had never existed in the world.
Sun Huaiyuan's explanation was that it was not easy to make the Immortal Mirror. The workshop was stocking up and would provide a batch of goods to the Curious Pavilion every three days.
However, this was just nonsense to deceive the "consumers." The real reason was that Li Zexuan had asked him to do so.
At the end of the day, Li Zexuan just didn't want these glass products to depreciate so quickly. He wanted to make more money with this stuff. He would never kill the goose that lays the golden eggs and saturate the market all of a sudden.
Casting a long line to catch a big fish. This was a wealth robbery (or wealth redistribution) plan that used sand as a weapon. Li Zexuan had to look into the future and not just focus on the small profits in front of him.
However, this made the pitiful people who were obsessed with buying the Immortal Mirror suffer.
Xiao Shouye was the most prominent one among them.
The lackey he sent had already stayed in the guest house in the East Market for two nights, but he still did not get anything.
As for that Miss Meng 'er, she had almost driven him crazy these two days.
…
Li Zexuan did not care how the others complained. He would not change the plan he had made. Those people just had to wait for one more day.
Early in the morning, Li Zexuan, Yan Shaoning, Yan Lide, and Faubert led more than two hundred craftsmen from the Ministry of Works and more than one hundred craftsmen from the workshop to Plum Village.
Li Tai, the little fatty, also came along today. He had been thinking about Yanhuang College ever since he saw the Yanhuang College sand table a few days ago. Today was the big day of Yanhuang College's groundbreaking. How could he not come and join in the fun?
"Tsk, tsk ~! Little Xuan, there are so many craftsmen. The construction team used by Yanhuang College is almost comparable to the construction team used to build the palace! "
Li Tai and Li Zexuan walked side by side at the front. The little fatty looked at the huge team behind them and could not help but say this.
"Haha ~!"
Li Zexuan did not continue the conversation and directly joked, "Qingque, I heard that you bought two small Immortal Mirrors from Shopkeeper Sun two days ago! If the girls in Chang 'an City knew that you got in through the back door, they would hate you to death! Haha! "
Li Tai, "…"
