Chapter 51 Suzhou Stone
What is this? It is that people love flowers and flowers, and cement is so common in modern times that it can no longer be common. In the past, when Xia Xiaodong traveled around by car, he often saw small cement factories in the places where limestone was produced, which showed that its technical content was low.
Cement, if you know the method, is actually not difficult to produce. The main materials are lime and clay, and some auxiliary materials are also required, which is a little more troublesome. Of course, those small factories can only produce low-grade cement mixed rice for eating, and if they really want high quality and high grade, it will be much more complicated. (Note: The higher the mark, the higher the hardness of the cement)
There are several crushing procedures for the production of cement, which will be very noisy, and it is inevitable, and the dust is also very strong, so there is no around the big city, otherwise the blue sky and white clouds that are probably not common in the first place will be completely gone.
Suzhou is rich in lime, so it has a geographical advantage. Now it is a famine year, and the victims are gathered, and it can barely be regarded as having time and people.
The time, place and people are all together, and I'm sorry for everyone if the cement doesn't come out on time. I don't count on the national standard 62.5 and the like, but coarse cement is always not a problem.
"This ...... Actually, there is no name yet.5./books/19/19479/
Peasant princess. Xia Xiaodong looked at Lu Yunzhi: "Sister Yunzhi, is she interested in giving it a name?" ”
"Me?" Of course, Lu Yunzhi was surprised. Such a good thing was taken out by Xia Xiaodong, and the naming right couldn't be his turn as a guest.
"Or rather, the Lu family."
“……”
Lu Yunzhi fell silent.
She needed to think about it.
When it comes to Lu Yunzhi's identity, not only must he be cautious in his words and deeds, but he also often has to weigh the words and deeds of others, which has almost become a habit that goes deep into the bone marrow.
"You mean, ......, let the Lu family take this out?"
Xia Xiaodong smiled and nodded: "You see, this kind of 'stone powder' that can quickly condense and has a high strength is not very practical for use in armaments?" ”
Lu Yunzhi is not stupid.
War is one of two things: kill the enemy, don't be killed.
Offense and defense.
It's not offensive but it can be a defensive weapon.
Repairing the city walls, building fortifications, temporary fortifications, building bridges and paving roads, everything that can be done with stones, maybe it can be done.
Convenient and fast.
Robust and effective.
The use of this thing is simply a handful. Not only armament, civilian use is also a weapon of mass destruction!
"What about you?" Lu Yunzhi quickly made up his mind to catch this thing.
"Me? I want silver. "Xia Xiaodong's purpose is very simple.
"Silver...... Child? For Lu Yunzhi, who was born in a wealthy Lu family, it is really incomprehensible to take silver as a purpose.
Alas, local tyrants are local tyrants, and they can't understand the difficulties of ordinary people. Xia Xiaodong sighed secretly and simply said, "I want to save some dowry." ”
"Marry...... Makeup? Lu Yunzhi was even more sluggish.
Of course, Lu Yunzhi has people around her who specialize in collecting information, so she knows very well that Commander Xia's family is by no means as poor as rumored, and Xia Xiaodong's biological mother has already left a dowry for her - that is, the dowry of Xia Xiaodong's mother-in-law back then.
The dowry is a woman's private property and the foundation of a woman's life in her husband's family. Therefore, the mother's family will try to give the dowry more generously - or the woman will lose money.
If the married woman dies and has no children, the unused dowry must be returned to the mother's family. If there are children, they are inherited by the children. The male family that embezzles the dowry will be looked down upon by the world, similar to eating soft rice.
Xia Xiaodong's mother died in the Xia family within a few years, and most of the dowry should be there, shouldn't Xia Xiaodong be so anxious to save the dowry?
"Sister Yunzhi," Xia Xiaodong grabbed Lu Yunzhi's arm, sat down side by side, and said with a smile: "Think about it, it's inconvenient for my father to come forward in this matter." If it is really up to him, there will be hidden worries. It just so happens that sister, you are here to help with disaster relief, if you take this thing out, I am afraid that the people on the military quartermaster side will cry and shout for goods! ”
"My sister just bites to death, as long as the food doesn't need silver. Wouldn't it be a merit to turn around and use the exchanged armaments and food for disaster relief? ”
"As for my sister," Xia Xiaodong smiled on her face: "The stone powder that my sister took out on her face was of course secretly bought from my sister." The price...... It's up to me. ”
The words are a little obscure, but smart people can understand them.5./books/19/19478/
Flowers in the palm of the hand, butterflies on the shoulder.
As the supreme military commander of Suzhou, if Xia Bashan had the formula of this stone powder in his hand, he was afraid that he would be requisitioned directly.
Are you kidding? Still want benefits? Consciousness! If you don't have any consciousness at all, how can you be an official?
The Lu family is different, after all, they are relatives, and if they come out with good things, who would dare to rob the queen's maiden family?
According to Xia Xiaodong's plan, the silver brought by Lu Yunzhi went into Xia Xiaodong's purse, and the stone powder in exchange could pry open the door of the armament granary.
The victims were given food and their lives were saved.
Lu Yunzhi came forward to operate and got a good name.
Xia Xiaodong delivered the goods and collected the money, and there were huge profits.
The military got good things, and it was better than the benefits.
Officials solved the famine and took credit.
It's a good thing for you, me, everyone!
"Ah Shuang," Lu Yunzhi called, "bring me a basin of water to wash my face." Again, I'm not going back to the house today, I'm sleeping with your girl here! ”
Falling asleep is almost sleepless, and there are still many details to discuss.
For example, we can't let the victims take food for nothing--this is to raise lazy people, and when they are affected by the disaster, they will stretch their necks and wait for food, but that will not work, and let the victims of the disaster use work for relief, participate in the production of stone powder, and then use the grain as wages to distribute it.
For example, secrecy. Once the scale of production is large and there are many people involved, how to keep the formula and key technical links will be more difficult.
For example, advertising. How to sell to the military and the official, or to be precise, how to impress Zhang Boan, so that the prefect has nothing to say and obediently agrees to open a position.
There's a lot going on.
"After talking for a long time, there is one more very important thing!" Xia Xiaodong was already so sleepy that he was about to fall asleep, and Lu Yunzhi was also a little confused, but he suddenly sat up and pushed Xia Xiaodong hard: "Don't sleep, don't sleep, think about it." ”
"Heh-" Xia Xiaodong yawned: "What's more, can't you say it again Ming'er?" ”
"No, it can't be done," Lu Yunzhi refused to give up: "We've been talking for so long, and we haven't named the stone powder yet." ”
casually said that he really forgot about this stubble.
"Cement." Xia Xiaodong was so sleepy that he directly threw out his scientific name.
"Cement?" Lu Yunzhi frowned: "This name is too simple, think about it again." ”
"Then Lu Ni is fine." Xia Xiaodong didn't bother to think about it, now that the Lu family took it out, then use 'Lu' to name it.
"No, it's too high-profile."
"Stucco?"
"Nope."
"Cloud Mud?"
"Go, go!" Lu Yunzhi slapped Xia Xiaodong on the shoulder: "Even my name is arranged." Why is it always called mud, and in the end it condenses into stone. ”
"And what do you call it?"
"Produced in Suzhou, it is better to call it Suzhou stone."
"Okay, okay, you're willing to pay, this is your family's thing, it's called Suzhou Stone." Xia Xiaodong turned over and could finally sleep.
