Yuan Feng said excitedly:
"Your Majesty, the concrete firing process is showing promising results. We are currently testing various proportions and the hardness after solidification. Once the test results are available, we will be able to report the good news to Your Majesty!"
"Good, good, good! Sikong did a great job, very good!!"
Upon hearing what Yuan Feng said, Liu Hong couldn't help but cheer excitedly and praised Yuan Feng generously.
With concrete, the Han Dynasty had a foundation for infrastructure development, which in turn enabled the Han Dynasty to further improve its economy, national strength, and people's livelihood.
"It is entirely thanks to Your Majesty's wise guidance that we were able to create such a divine object!"
Seeing the emperor so happy, Yuan Feng's face also lit up with joy, as if he could already see himself ranked first in the ancestral hall and enjoying the wonderful scene of being worshipped for ten thousand generations.
"Tch, a petty person who's gotten his way...!"
Looking at Yuan Feng's demeanor, Cao Song couldn't help but feel a surge of contempt.
After his initial excitement subsided, Liu Hong turned to Yuan Feng and asked, "How's the printing going?"
Yuan Feng respectfully reported, "Your Majesty, all the font molds have been cast and polished, and we are currently testing the font layout in preparation for initial printing."
Liu Hong smiled and nodded, "That's good. We need to do it as soon as possible, and at the same time, we need to make several sets of molds so that we can print as many copies as possible after those people finish writing the book!"
"Please rest assured, Your Majesty!!"
"With you all here, I feel very reassured, haha!"
Liu Hong nodded, then looked at Cao Song and asked:
"Grand Minister of Agriculture, what is the current situation of those factories in the north of the city?"
Cao Song hurriedly and respectfully replied, "Your Majesty, the glass factory, paper mill, and other facilities have been completed and are in full production, and they are all already profitable!"
Liu Hong nodded.
"That's good. Grand Minister of Agriculture, Minister of Works, and Lü Qiang, once you return, immediately begin preparations for the construction of the cement plant and the printing plant!"
"promise!!"
Liu Hong then inquired with Lü Qiang and Zhao Zhong about various aspects of the Royal Restaurant, the Royal Transport Team, and the Royal Shops.
When Liu Hong learned that everything at the Royal Trading Company was proceeding smoothly, he nodded in satisfaction.
"Actually, I have other matters to discuss with you today."
