Zhu Zhen's words made Prince Zhu Biao doubtful.
In the end, he didn't say much out of trust in Zhu Zhen.
However, what he said about building the ten-story Great Wall still reached Zhu Yuanzhang's ears.
Zhu Biao had no feelings about this matter, but Zhu Yuanzhang was particularly interested in this matter.
“Can you really build a ten-story Great Wall??”
"It's indeed possible, but it's really not necessary! The height of three, four, or five floors is a height that is difficult for others to reach!!"
"Yeah! That makes sense. Then tell us how to build a four- or five-story Great Wall!!"
The Great Wall of later generations is not just the Great Wall from the Qin Dynasty.
It can be said that the Great Wall of the Qin Dynasty was just the beginning, and many dynasties later built the Great Wall.
Among them, the Ming Dynasty is a typical example.
Zhu Yuanzhang would also build the Great Wall to resist foreigners and nomads.
Therefore, he was full of interest in the tall Great Wall mentioned by Zhu Zhen.
After Zhu Zhen heard what he said, he felt a little bit dumbfounded.
In fact, Zhu Zhen did not particularly want to build a tall Great Wall.
He prefers offense to defense.
As long as he destroys all the enemies of the Ming Dynasty, as long as he allows the Ming Dynasty to dominate the world, then they will not need to use the tall Great Wall to defend the outside world.
Although those Great Walls were also war fortresses of the Ming Dynasty, the construction of such war fortresses was indeed time-consuming and laborious.
Therefore, after Zhu Yuanzhang raised this question, Zhu Zhen smiled bitterly and said:
"Father, building a tall Great Wall is actually similar to building a tall building! You only need to take a look at how I built a tall building, and you will probably know how to build the Great Wall!!"
After hearing Zhu Zhen's words, Zhu Yuanzhang became particularly concerned about Zhu Zhen's construction of a ten-story building.
He even sent a lot of manpower to assist Zhu Zhen in building a ten-story building.
With the manpower sent by Zhu Yuanzhang, Zhu Zhen built the ten-story building much faster.
Especially when Zhu Zhen was digging the foundation, it was obviously much faster after many people worked together.
Once the foundation is laid, everything else comes faster.
Under Zhu Zhen's command, the craftsmen and soldiers he brought directly started the infrastructure construction. With the participation of a large number of people, Zhu Zhen completed the cement pillars and concrete pillars on the first floor in less than five days. floor slab.
When this framework appeared, many people came to watch.
"His Royal Highness the King of Chu has really taken action. Could it be said that His Highness the King of Chu really wants to build a ten-story building??"
"Is this a cement building? Why do I feel that this cement building is completely different from our building!!"
"Hiss! This cement building is so tall and thick! Moreover, it doesn't need those thick wood supports, it seems to be more trouble-free!!"
“The speed of building houses is indeed not slow, but I don’t know if it is really possible to build a ten-story building!!”
A first floor appeared. No one had ever seen such a building before, which really surprised them.
However, it was just a surprise.
They did not realize the essential difference between such a building and their own building.
It wasn't until the third floor slab was quickly completed that they realized something was wrong.
They found that the three-story cement floor was very solid, and people walking on it felt as if they were walking on flat ground.
People walking on it don't have any fear, as if they are down to earth.
When this happened, everyone was even more surprised.
"Is this cement building so strong? Why do I feel that the people on top don't feel the slightest shake!!"
"I can also feel it. Even if it is full of things and full of people, it will not have any impact on it, just like it is on the ground!!"
"This is wrong, this is very wrong, the floors at high places shouldn't be like this!!"
They all felt something was wrong.
But many people have never been there, and they don’t know what the difference is.
However, they became more and more concerned about Zhu Zhen's construction of the building.
Under their attention, Zhu Zhen quickly built the fourth, fifth, and sixth floors...
Only one and a half months have passed, and Zhu Zhen's ten-story building has already gone up.
It not only has a solid floor, but also has brick walls and windows.
Even on the first floor, renovations have begun on its interior, not only with cement but also with white cladding.
Looking at the first floor, it is completely modern and simple decoration style.
When Zhu Zhen walked into it, he felt like traveling through time and space.
Others were stunned and stunned.
They saw with their own eyes a ten-story building rising from the ground before their eyes.
The tall building that required them to look up completely broke their cognition and made them witness the impossibility.
Many people couldn't help but tremble when they saw such a tall building.
"His Royal Highness King Chu really did it. He really built a ten-story building. This, this is simply a miracle!!"
"Oh my god! There are really ten-story buildings in the world. This is a ten-story building! Our Ming Dynasty can actually build a ten-story building!!"
"It's incredible. I feel like this ten-story building is like a sharp sword, rising into the sky and standing between heaven and earth. This is really incredible!!"
"Is this cement? It turns out it has such a huge effect!!"
At this time, the thoughts in the hearts of everyone in Jinling City have undergone earth-shaking changes.
They never believed, became skeptical, and even worshiped crazily.
None of them expected that Zhu Zhen could do such an impossible thing.
This brought Zhu Zhen's reputation in their hearts to an extreme.
At the same time, the existence of cement has completely become famous all over the world.
Especially under Zhu Zhen's deliberate propaganda, they all understood that cement could be used by the people to build their own houses, and its cost was not expensive.
This has made countless people pursue cement to the extreme, and countless people desire that they can own cement.
This includes not only ordinary people, but also countless high-ranking officials and nobles.
A ten-story building is too grand for them.
They all hope that their mansions can be built to be extremely grand, and we also hope that the houses in our homes will be truly tall buildings.
Therefore, they were crazy about asking to buy cement, and many people even came to Zhu Yuanzhang to ask for it.
Among them are many military generals, royal family members and court ministers.
Just by seeing these people, Zhu Yuanzhang already understood that cement was really going to be sold out.
