At this moment, Lin Beifan's cement house was still selling quickly.
Such a quick way to accumulate wealth made everyone envious.
Especially the emperors of the various countries. When they saw that Lin Beifan had amassed more than two million yuan in less than half a month, they were so jealous that they were separated from each other!
If a fatuous ruler can do it, why can't I?
Therefore, the emperors of the various countries had their eyes on Lin Beifan's cement.
For example, the Shang Kingdom.
"I heard that the fatuous ruler invented a building artifact called cement. In just a few days, he was able to build a large and sturdy house. He even sold the house and earned more than two million taels of silver!”
The Emperor of Shang sat in the court and sighed,""Dear ministers, that cement is not only a divine weapon for building houses, but also a national weapon that benefits the country and the people! Can you give me the method to forge cement?”
At this moment, the Prime Minister took a step forward and bowed with a smile.""Your Majesty, when this humble subject learned that the fatuous ruler had created cement and built a house, I had already sent people to investigate. At present, I have already obtained the method to make cement!”
"Really?" The Emperor's eyes lit up and he said anxiously,""Beloved minister is indeed the pillar of the country. You are eager for what I need and your loyalty is commendable. Quickly pass this method to me!”
The Prime Minister handed over a piece of paper and said with a smile,""Your Majesty, the manufacturing method of this cement is very simple. All you need to do is to roast iron slag, limestone, and clay, and then mix them together in a certain ratio.”
"After the cement is created, it will be mixed with sand, stone, and water to turn into mud. Then, it can be used to build houses! The speed of this rebellion was really fast. They could build a big and sturdy house in three days!”
"Good, good, good!" The emperor laughed. With the cement manufacturing method, why would our Shang Country be worried about prosperity? That little Emperor is also muddle-headed and incompetent. He doesn't know how to hide the method of making cement and let us obtain it for free. I really have to thank him! Men, brush, ink, paper, inkstone, I want to write a letter to that fatuous ruler to thank him for his contribution!”
The officials all secretly laughed.
Their Emperor was not thanking Lin Beifan. He was clearly mocking him!
They were also happy to see this joke!
A moment later, the emperor finished writing the letter and handed it to his attendant. He smiled and said,""Send it to Xia Country as soon as possible for that fatuous emperor to take a look. Also, record his expression and tell me when you come back!”
"Yes, Your Majesty!" The man took the letter and left.
"Since we already have the method to make cement, we should build houses as soon as possible to enrich the national treasury!”"This is a serious matter. Let the Prime Minister handle it!" The Emperor of Shang smiled.”
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
The Prime Minister took the decree and went to arrange the cement.
Six days later, a house was built with cement. The emperor of Shang was delighted to see it."Good! Very good! Since building houses with cement is feasible, then Prime Minister, you should build more houses as soon as possible and sell them to enrich the national treasury!”
But at this moment, the Prime Minister was in a difficult position."Your Majesty, this…I'm afraid…"
The Emperor of Shang frowned." Prime Minister, why are you stuttering? Just say what you want to say!"”
The Prime Minister gritted his teeth and said," Your Majesty, using cement houses to make money won't work. We'd better think of another way!"”
The Emperor of Shang frowned and said in a displeased tone,""Prime Minister, what do you mean? Look, that stupid ruler has already earned more than two million taels of silver before he even built a house. Why can't we do it here?”
"Your Majesty, it really won't work!" The Prime Minister smiled bitterly. If we really sell the house like he did, we'll lose everything!”
"Then tell me now!" The Shang Emperor suppressed his anger.
"Yes, Your Majesty!" The Prime Minister bowed and said," To make cement, there must be three things. The first is iron ore slag, the second is limestone, and the third is clay! We have iron ore slag and limestone, but these two things are far from the city! It would take a lot of manpower and material resources to transport it to the city to build a house!”
"In addition, burning cement requires a large amount of firewood! This humble official has made a preliminary estimate. If we want to build such a house, the cost will reach 60 taels of silver, which is even more expensive than a house made of green bricks. It's impossible to sell!”
"What?!" The emperor was shocked. There was such a thing? Why is it possible in China?"
"Your Majesty, because the iron and limestone mines in China are all at the edge of the capital, we can completely obtain materials locally. Moreover, there was a coal mine next to it. They could dig it out and burn it directly, saving firewood! That was why they could sell their houses at such a low price and make a profit!”
"It's actually like this. Damn it!" The Emperor of the Shang Kingdom was so angry that he spat out blood.
He clearly knew how to make money, but he couldn't. He had to watch the enemy country make money. This was too depressing!
He was so depressed that he went crazy and wanted to kill someone!
At this moment, the attendant who had gone to deliver a letter to Lin Beifan returned.
"Your Majesty, this is the reply from the Emperor of Xia Country. Please take a look!”
The emperor opened it and saw only 14 words: Impersonating oneself, overestimating oneself, laughable, ridiculous, stupid!
The Emperor of the Shang Kingdom vomited blood.
