    Chen Xu then told the orthodox emperor about his plan to build roads. When the imperial court built roads and recruited civilians, they treated the people as slaves. When Chen Xu built roads, he hired refugees, treating them as people, and threatened to sign a labor contract - Emperor  I have no idea what this is - just like a bank, it is in the name of the imperial court. After the road is built, the imperial court will take 30% of the profits.  The orthodox emperor was stunned for a moment after hearing this. His father had done such a thing as collecting tolls. What was Chen Xu doing?  There is an official road in Peiping that leads directly to Jinling. Now that the tax envoys and eunuchs have been abolished, who would pay to walk when there are free ones?  However, he was quite moved when he heard about Chen Xu's employment of refugees. He didn't know how many refugees there were in Dayan, but he knew that this was definitely one of the most unstable factors. If there was a countermeasure, why would the court  Delayed until now?  Regarding the orthodox emperor's first question, Chen Xu's answer was very straightforward, "Your Majesty, if you want people to be willing to pay, of course they have to be worth the money. The road we want to build is different from other roads. This road is just like  The calm lake surface is generally the same. "The orthodox emperor didn't know about the technical aspects. He had indeed walked on the smooth road. He asked casually out of curiosity, "What do you plan to use to build the road?" "  "Cement!" The emperor was embarrassed to admit that he didn't know what cement was. Chen Xu explained a few words and said that he would bake the cement for a while and ask your Majesty to see it. He nodded and asked the question he was most concerned about, where did the money come from.  "Seek sponsorship from wealthy businessmen and distribute future profits based on the initial investment. Of course, I'm afraid I will also need to borrow some money from the bank." The orthodox emperor's face became a little weird. Is Chen Xu really using his small bank as a cornucopia?  He suddenly realized that this guy was also quite unreliable. He thought he was the one who really brought him out when he escaped from death?  "Your Majesty, I have one more thing to ask for. I hope your Majesty can establish a patent department to encourage skilled craftsmen to delve into new technologies and protect intellectual property rights. Science and technology are the primary productive forces." The orthodox emperor understood what Chen Xu said.  Half of the time, many times he knew what the words were, but he just didn't understand what they meant.  Chen Xu used the most popular language of the era to explain the concept of patents and the responsibilities of the Patent Department. Only then did the orthodox emperor understand, but it was unheard of. Intellectual property still has property rights?  What has Chen Aiqing been doing these past few years?  "Your Majesty. Only by establishing the Patent Department can we ensure the industrialization of cement. This is even the key to a series of ideas." The Zhengtong Emperor looked at Chen Xu for a while and said, "As for the establishment of the Patent Department, I promise you  You are fully responsible for appointing all subordinate officials. You can submit the personnel appointment results in writing to Zhu Zhu. " Chen Xu is not only a hero but also his savior. I feel a little guilty about not being promoted. Since he mentioned this.  Come on, why don't he just be a favor?  It's an inconsequential job anyway.  The orthodox emperor had just realized his idea for a moment when he was frightened by Chen Xu.  "Your Majesty, after the Patent Department is established, the first thing I have to do is to disclose the formula of soap." The emperor holds 20% of the soap business. Of course he knows how much profit there is. This may only be useful to the royal family.  The icing on the cake is that Chen Xu is the cornerstone of the family, so he is going crazy.  Chen Xu has already resigned. The orthodox emperor sat in front of the Dragon Bookcase for a long time and was speechless. What Chen Xu said to him was simply unheard of. The battle of Tumu Fort was not as exciting as it is today.  Chen Aiqinghe is a sign of a prodigal son.  "Your Majesty, Mr. Kuai, the Left Minister of the Ministry of Industry, would like to see you." Mr. Kuai's name is Kuai Xiang. He is fifty-six years old. As an entourage of Emperor Chengzu, he came to Peiping to participate in the design of the palace building. His first task was to be responsible for Cheng'an Gate.  After the Chengan Gate was completed, we designed and organized the construction.  After being praised by hundreds of officials, Emperor Chengzu Longyan was very happy and called him "Kuai Luban".  Because of his service to the court, he was gradually promoted from a craftsman.  The current Minister Zuo of the Ministry of Industry has a second-grade official title but enjoys a first-grade salary. It can be said that craftsmen have reached the ultimate level.  Kuai Xiang is extremely accomplished in architecture, and he is proficient in scale calculations. To borrow a current sentence, his construction drawings can be used as as-built drawings by changing their names and drawing numbers.  Not only did he carefully plan the materials and construction, but the tenon and rivet frame he created was also unique; the most outstanding thing was his artistic and aesthetic talent. It is said that he could hold a pen with both hands, draw squares with his left hand, and draw squares with his right hand.  Yuan is as good as the old naughty boy Zhou Botong.  Although Mr. Kuai has a high official position, he is not arrogant and arrogant. He is humble and simple, and he is very willing to support his descendants.  After the battle to defend the capital, the emperor ordered him to build the three main halls of Taihe, Zhonghe and Baohe. Now they have reached the completion stage. This time he met the emperor to report the progress of the project.  After the two of them talked about the business, it was time toThe emperor suddenly said, "Master Kuai, have you ever heard of cement?" Cement?  Kuai Xiang looked at the emperor in confusion, "Your Majesty, please forgive me for being so ignorant. I have never heard of what cement is." The orthodox emperor smiled and said, "This is what Chen Xu and Chen Aiqing mentioned to me. According to what he said  "Cement is a hydraulic cementitious building material," the orthodox emperor said this word in private several times and finally said it smoothly. "This cement becomes powder when dry and becomes slurry after adding water. It can harden in air or water.  The hardness is comparable to rock. " Kuai Xiang works in construction and has an extraordinary sensitivity to building materials. The orthodox emperor's words almost made his heart skip a beat. The emperor will not lie. If Chen Xu did not deceive him.  If he doesn't - he probably doesn't have the guts - then this will definitely cause earth-shaking changes in the construction industry.  Kuai Xiang was not familiar with Chen Xu, and his impression of him was very different from that of the high-ranking civil servants in the imperial court. The Tumu Fort Incident made this little-known young man famous all over the world. How did Chen Xu lead the emperor to kill thousands of troops?  When he came back, he didn't witness the process, but he saw the battle to defend the capital and a series of tasks done by Chen Xu.  Chen Xu¡¯s preparation process for war can be described as planning before taking action. This is similar to his careful planning in materials and construction.  In addition, the two people have one thing in common. They are both looked down upon by civil servants.  Kuai Xiang has long been acquainted with one of them. After the battle to defend the capital, Chen Xu's family suffered great changes, so the matter could only be settled.  Hearing that the emperor mentioned "cement", he decided to pay a visit to Chen Xu's house.  Let¡¯s talk about Chen Xu. After leaving the palace, he went directly to the Imperial College.  He was once considered a prison student here, and he was appointed by the late emperor. Of course, he was not popular with the master.  When Chen Xu sneaked into the Imperial College, he remembered that he had forgotten to ask Qiu Yue which subject Qin Guan studied.  There are more than 10,000 students in the Imperial College, and finding Qin Guan is no less than finding a needle in a haystack.  Chen Xu randomly found a student and asked him if he knew a man named Qin Guan. He didn't expect that the other student would whisper at the place where the crowd gathered, "Here, that's the one who was surrounded and beaten. Didn't you also plan to take it?"  Is he angry?"
