It’s not that Lu Chen is unsportsmanlike. He is taking advantage of the girl’s inner emptiness to win her favor.
It's really true that this old guy Wei Yong is not a human being. He hasn't met with Lu Chen for a while, and he seems to want to shirk his responsibility.
Being watched by the head of the country's highest supervisory agency all day long is not a good thing. What's more, Lu Chen is hoping to send ships to Japan to mine silver mines and to North and South America to find potatoes, rubber and sweet potatoes in the future. He also wants to dig a Grand Canal.
Each of these things is a waste of money and time, and Wei Yong will definitely jump out to blame him, so he must grasp Wei Yong's weaknesses in advance, so that he will have more room for maneuver when the time comes.
Although old man Wei Yong says that he won't allow this or that, he actually loves his daughter very much.
Lu Chen had already started to fantasize that one day after he had built a motorcycle, he would say to Wei Yong, "Lao Deng, where is my Ghost Fire motorcycle?"
So Lu Chen was very unkind and attacked Wei Caier without any psychological pressure.
In his previous life, Lu Chen had read a series of masterpieces such as "How to Make a Rich Woman Fall in Love with Me" and "The Plan to Be Kept by a Rich Woman", and he had sufficient theoretical and practical experience.
It’s really no problem to win over a literary young woman like Wei Caier!
A girl who has just been broken off her engagement and has been on the verge of death is most afraid of others' sudden tenderness and care.
There was no doubt that Wei Cai'er had a crush on Lu Chen. Now that Lu Chen showed such concern all of a sudden, she was delighted but also a little at a loss.
After all, the reason she committed suicide by cutting her wrists was that her husband's family broke off the engagement. In the value system of that era, she was almost incompatible with the secular world.
Even Ning Cai'er felt that she was unworthy of Lu Chen's concern, but she longed for others' care. This tangled emotion made her heart very tormented, and all ten fingers were tangled together.
Lu Chen still had a warm smile on his face as he said, "As the saying goes, your body and hair are inherited from your parents. How sad they must be that you are ruining your body like this."
After hearing this, a hint of disappointment flashed across Wei Caier's eyes, and she murmured, "Is it just because my parents are upset?"
"Of course, now we know each other, so don't do this again in the future, because I will feel bad too."
"Ah!" This sudden straight ball caught Wei Caier off guard. She covered her face and ran straight into the bedroom.
Looking at Wei Caier's back, Lu Chen felt extremely happy.
When it comes to picking up girls, you really need to analyze each case on a case-by-case basis. Every girl has a different personality, so the methods and approaches used are also different.
When facing Zi Yan, you have to behave like a rogue so that that little green tea girl can't use her tricks.
When you meet a literary young woman like Wei Caier, you have to surround her with a warm offensive, and also pay attention to the rhythm. Don't be too anxious, but simmer over low heat.
So Lu Chen decided not to come to Wei Mansion for the next few days, so that Wei Caier would miss him day and night.
As soon as I walked out of the Wei Mansion, I saw Mou Ping walking back and forth anxiously outside the door.
Seeing Lu Chen, he was shocked and walked up to him quickly and said, "Master, there are some results in the workshop. Please go and take a look."
Hearing this, Lu Chen was also shocked! Picking up girls is just a way to adjust to the boring life. His mind should really be focused on promoting the progress of human civilization.
"Come on, come on, lead the way. Which project has produced results this time?"
"It's cement. The craftsmen baked it yesterday and conducted experiments all night. They just sent someone over to say the results are in. The cement has completely solidified after adding water."
Lu Chen was overjoyed. He had several projects on hand that were moving forward, and cement was a very important one. With this material, whether it was the construction of the Zhaixing Tower or other projects, it would be much easier!
Lu Chen only knew that simple cement was made by calcining limestone and clay, grinding them into powder, and then mixing them with iron ore.
As for the ratio and the approximate firing temperature, he was not sure.
But it doesn't matter, because he has people and resources under him. Just like making glass before, it's nothing more than a process of repeated experiments.
At this time, Lu Chen couldn't help but sigh that his choice of career was really good. Compared with those other poor time travelers, he didn't need to do any preliminary management and preparation. He could just put forward any ideas immediately and someone would help him realize them immediately.
Lu Chen whipped his horse and soon arrived at the cement workshop. After getting off the horse, he stepped forward impatiently and said, "Who's in charge? Come out and talk!"
As soon as he finished speaking, several dusty-looking men came running over hurriedly from a distance.
Lu Chen carefully looked at the leader, and after a long time he recognized that it was Zhang Balang, the general who was mainly responsible for burning cement. Everyone usually called him Zhang Laoba.
He saw Lu Chen kneeling on the ground with an excited look on his face and said, "Master Lu, thank goodness you have fulfilled your mission. We really succeeded!"
Lu Chen was also very excited and said, "Quick, quick, take me to see if the strength test has been carried out?"
Zhang Laoba nodded hurriedly and said, "We've already done a strength test on one wall, and the results are very good. There's one wall left, and it's waiting for you."
"Very good, you did a great job! Don't worry, Lao Ba, as long as this thing succeeds, I will go to His Majesty and ask for your credit!"
Zhang Laoba was so excited that his whole body was shaking. "It doesn't matter whether I ask for credit or not. Being able to work beside Master Lu and forge such a magical item, my life has not been lived in vain."
Zhang Laoba's main business used to be making bricks. Many of the bricks, whether used in the imperial palace or in frontier fortresses, were made by his family. He knew very well that the emergence of cement would bring about earth-shaking changes to the entire Da Qi construction industry.
As someone who participated in this, I might even leave a mark in the history books. This is simply the honor of having a separate page in the family tree!
Soon they arrived at the testing ground. Facing the wall specially used to test strength, Lu Chen waved his hand without saying a word and said, "Smash it!"
The two soldiers swung their sledgehammers and started hitting the wall with a bang. Lu Chen watched from the side, his head full of the phantom sound of "eighty-eighty".
The soldiers following Lu Chen now are all Li Zhuo's guards. Their physical fitness is naturally impeccable. I can't say that they have a thousand pounds of strength with a swing of their arms, but at least they can easily swing a sledgehammer to smash the wall.
But even so, it took them thousands of hammers to destroy the wall.
Lu Chen stepped forward, grabbed the broken bricks, squeezed them in his hand, and nodded with satisfaction.
Although it has not yet reached its optimal effect, its current strength is enough to be used to build the Star-Picking Tower!
He waved his hand with high spirits and said, "There's a grand court meeting today, right? Follow me! Let's go show those country bumpkins some ideas!"
