Tokyo City at the end of summer is the happiest.

On this day, Cai Jing was puzzled and watched his servants open the package sent by the official post, mix it with water, and start stirring according to the instructions.

This is the cement sent by Chizhou.

A while ago, Lao Cai chased Lanruo Temple, but he really couldn't accept the style of "Happy Three Kingdoms". For the time being, he knew little about cement and did not take the initiative to ask. It was because his eldest son Cai You came and sent a letter to Cai Jing for witness.

It seems to be some mud with unusual colors, and after being combined with water, it is regular and mud. So far, no magic has been found.

However, Cai You didn't want to deceive this kind of matter. He sent this thing with a lot of help. There should be some reasons.

"Really, just such an inconspicuous thing can be as strong as Cai You said, but it can last for hundreds of years without any damage. It can be bonded firmly?"

Cai Jing murmured as he observed.

The housekeeper directed the experiment and said, "I don't know if I say anything to the master. But the eldest master should not be too biased when he says this. Please wait patiently."

Cai Jing’s biggest feature is that he is always lukewarm and patient, so he won’t say much.

Given that the road was long and there was not much cement sent this time, and I didn't think about how to experiment, Cai Jing asked the servants to erect a palm with a width and thickness, a foot high wall, and went to the capital to handle government affairs.

The next day, when he passed by the small wall again, Cai Jing stopped and thought for a while, then stepped on it vigorously.

“Huh…”

Curiosity arises. If the conventional sticky mud is standing up in this situation, it can be disintegrated with just one slight kick.

"I never thought that this thing really has such high strength?"

Cai Jing was in no hurry to leave, so he called his servants to dig the well water to wet him.

I observed it again and found that it was completely different from ordinary sticky mud. This thing was dry and didn’t give me any water. This seemed to mean that it could have many uses, and it could really go through wind and rain?

Apart from not being able to draw water, the stability of its bonding is really hard to understand. Sure enough, Cai You did not exaggerate this thing.

He ordered people to use a sledgehammer to start smashing the wall from the side. Even though he could destroy it in the end, it was more difficult than imagined. Even if he was not a bricklayer, it would not be difficult to imagine through this scenario. If the reliability after building a house or a bridge was used, it would definitely subvert the existing cognition.

The biggest advantage is its ease of shaping, which is almost equivalent to a miracle. In Cai Jing's own words, this should be called a deformed rock. Because it has a strength comparable to a rock, but to turn the rock into a one-piece and desired shape structure, the human power used is simply an astronomical number.

Therefore, this kind of thing that exists in a mud state and can exist in a fluid form after water, theoretically it can easily form the form "rock" that people want, which is a deformation in Cai Jing's consciousness.

Cai Jingguan felt at a loss after seeing this. Things are just like this, but this is the "auspicious" to be submitted to the emperor, so it is not easy to explain from the aspects of construction. It is best to start from miracles, deformation rocks, etc.

Then the emperor's preference for the same thing must be different due to different statements.

“Yeah…is not bad.”

Of course, Cai Jing is different from Chang Yue Xiaobai. He will not be surprised to be worshipped by the gods when he sees anything, but he is really happy.

In the first year of Daguan, the more magical and auspicious he encountered, the better, the more he could increase the level of the emperor's trust and create the legitimacy of rule.

Because it is really not Zhao Gao’s patent on the matter of referring to a deer as a horse. In fact, Lao Cai believes that politics is just that, and deer and horse will really be similar under some current situations and conditions.

If you don’t talk about deer and horses, just say that I have been in the Yuanfeng Party and Yuanyou Party, which have not been vigorous and vigorous in recent decades, and have also looked very similar. It is also easy to distinguish it. It depends on who is in power. Guys such as Wen Yanbo and Zhang Fangping are also like the Yuanfeng Party for one period and the Yuanyou Party for another period. They only look at political needs, actual conflicts of interest, and whose right to speak lies.

It was already over forty years, and it was several ups and downs. Cai Jing, who was used to the various situations of the world and had rich experience in politics, had long taken these lightly. These are actually considered as horses. Sometimes, it is not easy to distinguish between deer and horse, and it doesn't matter whether they need to be distinguished.

In this way, the fake can be said to be true, not to mention that the cement is truly magical and can withstand the test.

More Cai Jing was not in a hurry to think about it for the time being, and took the carriage to the imperial city. He arrived at the Zhongtang (Government Affairs Hall) and sat down, and took out a document from Chizhou a few days ago and read it again.

This was also sent by Cai You, not a private message but a Chizhou official document. It was about Guichi County scholar, the current military magistrate Zhao Cheng, promoted to county lieutenant.

Normally, this kind of civil servant position at the lowest level of the Song Dynasty cannot be replaced by Cai Jing's desk.

Generally, those who have family backgrounds and important roles in the local area, or those who have supplementary positions or have grassroots work experience have important contributions. As long as the state government recommends it and has no conflicts of interest with the agency, most of them will be signed by the Ministry of Personnel and the relevant agency will be archived.

Unfortunately, Cai Jing was in a strong limelight during this period and took care of many things with his own hands. He happened to be disliked and had a little bit of a heart attack with Cai Jing. He Zhizhong, who did not want to make mistakes, was in charge of this.

He Zhizhong, the Minister of Personnel and the Minister of the Left Prime Minister (assistant prime minister), was very sleek and witty. According to the fact that Cai Jing, Cai You and his son were now suffering from some heart problems due to Tong Guan and Cai Bian, etc., he did not pass the matter about Zhao Cheng being the county magistrate, and directly transferred to the central hall to wait for the instructions of Cai Jing, the assistant minister (prime minister).

Cai Jing secretly felt that He Zhizhong was irresponsible and witty, and he was also more or less hesitant. He could not argue with Zhao Cheng's promotion, but he had reservations about Zhao Cheng's promotion so quickly, who was so young and without fame.

But now after the cement incident, Cai Jing did not hesitate too much this morning. After only a cup of tea, he personally approved Zhao Cheng's civil service document.

Since Cai Jing picked up the pen, the cunning He Zhongshu has always been staring at the paper document as an assistant, with an extremely strange expression, and it was not until Cai Jing finished writing that he felt relieved.

Criticize is criticism. Whether Zhao Cheng has talent and whether he can do things, Lao He is concerned about. But if he does not criticize, there will definitely be some trouble in politics. It means that the gap between Cai Jing and Cai You and his son will be expanded in advance. Cai You’s second uncle Cai Bian is a former prime minister after all, and he still has influence in his eyes. If he gets up, it’s really not a good thing to stand on the side.

Now that Lao Cai has criticized it, it is settled. Whether multiple officials in the Song Dynasty have paid their salary, Lao He cares about it. Maintain fun and try to avoid political infighting and confrontation as much as possible. That is the temporary benefit of the Ministry of Personnel who is roasted on the fire. In this way, no one can offend.

"Congratulations to my husband, I have another young talent under my command!"

He Zhongshu hurriedly said something appropriate.

Old Cai Jing frowned again, "Stop talking good things about me and I'm lenient. In fact... I've been hesitant until today to criticize me, not to create conflicts and suppress my son."

"Just because..."

Cai Jing was twisting his beard with a look of unknown fortune and misfortune. "About Zhao Cheng, his writing, mentality, personality, etc., I have really studied it in a targeted manner. The young man was successful and talented. Although he could do things, he could also cause trouble. The key is Cai You's mentality."

"The southeast has been a troublesome place, and I have not been able to figure out the behavior of Zhao Cheng. If I don't control it well, it will lead to Cai You supporting him in the southeast, fighting with the Zhu family and Yingfeng Bureau. It will be difficult for me to end at that time."

When Old Cai said this, He Zhongshu's expression became strange again. This is really a hidden danger, but it is just two dogs from your Cai family, so it is not that important whoever bites to death.
