When Fu Yao and the others arrived at Wu Liu's house, she found seven to eight red bricks placed in front of his house.

"You finally came. See if this is the brick you were talking about last time." Wu Liu was even more excited than she was when he saw Fu Yao.

After Fu Yao finished speaking that day, he played around day and night. Everyone said that he was bewitched, why would she need to spend so much time to burn bricks.

It cost more silver than mud.

Fu Yao picked it up and looked, "This is it, it's amazing Sixth Uncle, I was just worrying about what I could use to build the house."

"I did that, but can such a small thing build a house? "Can it be stabilized?" Wu Liu said in confusion.

"Of course it's stable, but it needs to be combined with cement in order to be stable. The house won't collapse even after a hundred years, and it's especially convenient to use." Fu Yao explained to the Wu Liu on the spot using mud, "Isn't it much more convenient to stack them layer by layer than the stone block?"

"Cement? I did some of the same thing, but I don't know if it's what you said. " Wu Liu took out a bag of things from his house, "I added volcanic ash, but its adhesion was still a bit low."

Fu Yao squatted on the ground and mixed the water together. She did not look hot at all and was suddenly enlightened, "Lime, Sixth Uncle, you did not add Lime right?"

"What lime?" Wu Liu scratched his head, he had never heard anything Fu Yao said before.

"How can I explain?" Fu Yao was anxious too, "It's the kind of thing that can emit hot air, have you guys heard of it?"

"What's that?"

"I don't know how to explain it either. It's a powder made from limestone that hardens when exposed to water."

"You're talking about ash, right?" Ren Yun Xing said.

"Oh, right, right. Bai Hui can grumble when he meets water, and the water is still very hot." Wu Liu immediately said.

"It's possible. It's made from white ash, water, volcanic ash and sand. This is cement, which is very stable on the bricks."

"Why didn't I think of it? I felt like I almost forgot about that white ash. We can't do without it when we're making muck." Wu Liu slapped his head and shouted at him for being stupid.

Then, ignoring everyone else, he took the items back to the house and began to study them wholeheartedly.

Fu Yao and Zhen Niang helplessly shrugged.

"Come, come, come. Drink your tea." After Wu Sixth Aunt carried the tea over, the Wu Liu was already gone. "Guests have arrived, and even went to clean up those broken things. You guys must be ridiculing me. I'm really sorry to bring him out now."

Wu Sixth Aunt had an embarrassed look on his face.

"It's alright, Aunt. We are not considered outsiders, so let Sixth Uncle handle it. I'm also looking forward to getting the cement out quickly."

Wu Sixth Aunt nodded her head, "Quickly, sit down, you are Fu Yao. I've heard Sixth Brother talk about you, how delicious you are when you cook, and how you scold me everyday so I can practice my culinary arts properly."

"Sixth Aunt, you must be joking. I just randomly ordered some food. If you have time, come over to the house to eat with me."

"Ai ai ai ai." Wu Sixth Aunt sneaked a peek at Ren Yun Xing. "This is the Young Marquis."

He was also a good-looking talent. Wu Lao Liu even praised Ren Yun Xing when he came back, saying that he didn't want the other young masters to be so intimate with him.

Looking at it today, it really was the case. Ren Yun Xing looked at Fu Yao with eyes filled with love.

At night, Wu Xiao Liu excitedly brought over a brick with good adhesion. Even when it fell onto the ground, the adhesive part of the brick had yet to crack.

"Fu Yao, that's great, that's so easy to deal with. Tell me, how good do you think it would be if it could be promoted?" Wu Xiao Liu had been a gardener for a generation, how could he not know the benefits that this place brought?

In the past, building a house was a huge project. Not to mention building a foundation, even the entire mound of mud needed two months before it could be used. As for the mound of mud, it required three people to work together to carry it up.

Every year, they would fall for building houses, and the farmers' homes were still considered good. However, when they went to the county to build houses, they would always be made of bluestone, which was heavy and hard to grind. Being a bricklayer was a form of hard labor. Although the money he earned was not bad, who knew if the next time he was smashed to death was just his own fault?

"I think so too."

This idea coincided with Fu Yao's plan.

Fu Yao and Zhen Niang left Aunt Wu's house. Aunt Wu's family background was not bad in the village, after all, Wu Xiao Liu was a craftsman, he didn't need to worry about food wherever he went.

In fact, she had always been thinking about opening a brick factory and promoting it. Wasn't that the national interest?

"Really? "Great! If you open a brick factory, everyone in this village will have to buy bricks from you. It'll be more convenient in the future." Wu Liu was excited.

If the research he did was used on the right path, how could he not be happy?

Actually, he wanted to open it himself, but how could he have that kind of money? Every day, there was also the labor cost. Even if he sold his family, he wouldn't be able to take out that much money.

However, he did not want to give up, so he could only find Fu Yao to scout.

Sixth Uncle, you go back first. I'll think about it carefully.

Fu Yao sent Wu Liu away and sat in the courtyard in a daze. She didn't want to start a brick factory, but funding was a big problem. She told Wu Liu about it herself, and then she would have to deal with it.

"You want to open a brick factory." Ren Yun Xing said with certainty.

"How do you know?"

"You have these three big words written on your face."

"No way." Fu Yao caressed his face, was it that obvious?

However, opening a brick factory was indeed a good thing. Nowadays, people built their houses out of mud, while the rich people built their homes out of bluestone. It was very troublesome to grind them and make them work. With bricks, things were different. The second floor, the fifth floor, was this not a small matter?

However, it was not that simple. If the ancient people could not accept this turn of events, it would be a huge expense once they invested in it.

Could he hold on?

"I'll pay if you lack money." To prevent Fu Yao from refusing, "Consider it my investment, when the time comes you must give me a dividend."

"You're so cute." Fu Yao raised her head. Today was the first time she saw Ren Yun Xing that she found pleasing to the eye, and she was still a little uneasy. "Do you believe that this brick can be accepted?"

"I don't know."

"If you don't give me the silver, aren't you afraid of losing money?"

"Of course I'm scared. These are my wife's roots. If you lose, you won't be able to escape." Ren Yun Xing laughed, even if she did not lose out, she would not be able to escape.

With the money, Fu Yao was no longer afraid. Since it was like this, she would give it a try, using the bricks to build her own house, and then see the reaction.

And she felt that she wouldn't lose this time.

Fu Yao didn't know how much of an impact her actions had had on the future generations, causing them to enter the brick house era ahead of time, causing their living standards to soar. In the crowded capital, people had their own modern buildings and modern structures.
