In October of the tenth year of Jianxing, Kanto still has a trace of warmth, and Hanzhong has a trace of coolness.

Ding Niuwa lowered her head and carefully followed the little yellow door in the palace on the cobblestone path.

The base of the cobblestone path is paved with cement, and the cobblestones are half embedded in the cement and half exposed.

This was when the queen was pregnant two years ago, Ding Niuwa personally led people to shop.

It is said that the queen walks on it every day, which can activate the bloodline.

Walking down the cobblestone path to a palace, Xiao Huangmen asked Ding Niuwa to wait outside, and he went in first to report.

After a while, a special notice was quickly issued inside, letting Ding Niuwa in.

Ding Niuwa hurriedly took off her shoes, and then tidied up her clothes, and then trotted in, and after entering, she didn't dare to raise her head, and shouted:

"The minister has seen Your Majesty, may Your Majesty live a long life, and live a long life!"

The voice from above came from afar, and there was a faint echo: "Up." ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Over the years, the Han Dynasty has built a new type of water mill from Yueshan to Jincheng, and then from Jincheng to Hanzhong, where there is a water flow, for the people to grind flour and rice.

Most of these new-style water mills were built by Ding Niuwa, so he was recommended as Sima under the Captain of Diannong because of his merits.

In the palace in front of him, Ding Niuwa also participated, and he was also one of the foremen.

Because of his outstanding performance, he entered Hanzhong Metallurgical and has stayed in Hanzhong since then.

He was a person who came out of Feng Zhuang, and he was personally instructed by Feng Mingwen.

On top of that, his younger sister, Yumei, is now one of the managers of Nanxiang.

His brother-in-law is Feng Mingwen's eldest disciple.

Therefore, Ding Niuwa is regarded as a stain and is regarded by the royal family as one of the characters who can strengthen the relationship with Feng Mingwen.

It is precisely because of this relationship, coupled with his current identity, that as long as Nanxiang or Feng Mingwen comes up with something new, the royal family can get it as soon as possible.

Take the palace in front of you, for example.

This palace is called Rock Palace.

The name is a little quirky, but very vivid.

Because the whole thing is made of cement, it is as solid as a rock - of course, it is not the kind of cement that Feng Yong first made.

It is calcined cement that has only been made in Nanxiang in recent years.

Limestone is used as the main raw material, mixed with a certain proportion of other auxiliary materials, and then put into a high-temperature kiln for calcination.

The cement produced by this process is the real construction cement, which Feng Yong still has high school chemistry knowledge.

It's just that at the beginning, he didn't have so much money, not so many people, not so much time, and the conditions for calcination were not ripe.

Therefore, we can only engage in raw material cement, which is full of pipes and used to pave roads.

However, there is a but.

Although Feng Tingshi couldn't figure it out, he knew such a process.

This knowledge point is worth a thousand gold.

Because of the development of Dahan over the years, the basic things such as blowers, hydraulic forging, coking coal, etc., have been improved a lot.

After all, Dahan has two national-level senior engineers, Huang Yueying and Pu Yuan.

There is also Feng Tingshi who pointed out the right direction to the Nanxiang team, and there is no need to take detours.

Therefore, the continuous increase of the available temperature makes it possible to calcine cement in the present world.

This may mean that there is no kiln, the yield is relatively low, and the pass rate is lower.

Anyway, there is no way to apply it on a large scale.

It's just that the things in this world are usually rarer and more expensive.

The year before last, the new side hall of the Hanzhong Palace was built by the Nanxiang engineering team with new cement.

The whole hall is integrated, not afraid of water and fire, and is as solid as stone, which makes the emperor and queen and other earth buns amazing.

Even the prime minister of the Han Dynasty personally came to take a closer look several times.

In these days, most of the materials used in the houses of the rich and noble were wood.

Good looking is good-looking, beautiful is also beautiful.

But when it burns, it's called a wang.

As soon as one room burns down, be prepared to burn all the rooms down.

And now everyone has to burn coal and charcoal for heating in winter, and the hidden danger of water is infinitely increasing.

Not to mention that over time, rainwater soaking and disrepair, termite eating and other factors lead to collapse.

Just like a few years ago in the north, Cao Pi led his army to the east, and Queen Guo stayed in Yongshitai in Xuchang.

At that time, it rained heavily, and many of the city towers collapsed and damaged, and the relevant officials had to ask Queen Guo to move elsewhere for the sake of safety.

The same is true of the Imperial Palace, which shows the fragility of the buildings of this era.

Not to mention that in these years, wars are frequent, thieves are everywhere, and even villages are based on fortification.

Therefore, this kind of house that is both sturdy and convenient to build, has no hidden dangers, and is not inferior to the decoration of wood, can be called perfect in the eyes of many turtles in the Three Kingdoms era.

As soon as the new cement came out, it was endorsed by the royal emperor, and it was suddenly famous in Shujing.

In the territory of Dahan, everyone knows that Nanxiang has produced a new type of artificial stone, called cement.

As long as it is mixed with water and stirred into mud, it can be as hard as a stone after drying, which is a gift from God to the Han Dynasty.

The only pity is that such rare things, even if you have money, you have no place to buy them, only for the royal family and the powerful.

Because of the burning of cement, there was more and more black smoke billowing into the sky in Nanxiang.

Therefore, some people in the rivers and lakes spread that this is the evil ghost thing that Feng Ghost King asked people to dig out from the ground.

Thousands of miles away, the Liangzhou Thorn Shi said that you illiterate people know how to do it!

Then Ding Niuwa gave a thumbs up.

The prime minister of the Han Dynasty looked up to the sky and sighed, this thing is rare, it's a pity!

The emperor and queen, who was amused by holding her son in the Panshi Palace, said, "Even if it's a demonic thing, I like it."

At the same time, he took out a stack of papers, asked the waiter to pass it to Ding Niuwa, and asked:

"Can you make this?"

Ding Niuwa held the paper in his hand, and at a glance, he knew that this must be Feng Tingshi's handwriting.

Or it must be related to Feng Tingshi.

Scales, data, units, perspectives, parts and installation steps are all drawn in the clearest and most straightforward way.

Back then, he followed Feng Tingshi's ass to build a water mill, and watched Feng Tingshi draw drawings by himself, thinking that it was simply a magic skill.

A craftsman who can't read a word gets Feng Tingshi's manuscript, even if he doesn't understand what is written on it, he can slowly figure it out.

Based on the experience over the years, coupled with the trust in Feng Tingshi, Ding Niuwa did not delay much and responded:

"Your Majesty, yes."

"Okay, if you need something, just open your mouth, I will give instructions to go down and let the people in the inner house find a way."

The Son of Heaven above was very happy, "This thing is made for the prince, and the materials can be used as well as they can, so you don't have to worry about money and food." ”

Rich, capricious.

Anyway, it uses the money of the inner government, not the money of the government treasury, and the father can't control it.

Although the rebuilding of the Northern and Southern Army almost hollowed out the inner house, it can't stand the queen to have a good brother-in-law, right?

Ding Niuwa hurriedly responded, and then under the leadership of Xiao Huangmen, she left the palace.

As soon as he returned to Hanzhongye, Pu Yuan found him:

"Why hasn't the coking coal in Nanxiang arrived yet?"

Ding Niuwa scratched her head:

"Pugong, isn't it yet time?"

"Isn't that burning fast?" Pu Yuan sighed, and his face was also a little helpless, "This weapon army needs to be urgent, the Prime Minister's Mansion wants it, and the palace wants it." ”

"It's not that you don't know, the prime minister came here in person a few days ago."

traveled all over the Sichuan Mountains in Shuzhong, just to be able to cast a high-grade weapon, Pu Yuan, over the years, finally found his life goal.

Forging a treasure knife with a handle comparable to a hundred refining knives, Master Pu felt that he had reached the pinnacle of his life.

In addition, Nanzheng is the largest iron ore mining area in Hanzhong, and there is a new forging method, how can you be worthy of your life if you don't work hard?

"Hurry up, pack up and go to Nanxiang to ask."

Pu Yuan urged.

When Ding Niuwa heard this, she immediately made a bitter face:

"Pugong, the last time I went over, I was scolded by my brother-in-law, saying that we don't know how to save, we only know how to reach out and ask for things, but I don't know the hard work of their side......"

"It's not in vain! He's your brother-in-law, not your adult, what are you afraid of? It's really not good, won't you go to your sister to talk to it? ”

Whether it is Wei Rong or the younger sister, their knowledge and status have far surpassed their own, Ding Niuwa instinctively felt stunned, not to mention that it was very likely that she would be scolded in the past.

I saw him take out the paper given by the palace:

"Pugong, I really can't pull away, you see, the palace just called me over, let me build the things on this drawing these days."

There is definitely no way to hide this thing from Pu Yuan in Nanzhongye.

Because he is in charge of the creation of all the objects of Nanzhongye.

In addition, the palace did not say that it would be kept secret, so Ding Niuwa did not plan to avoid Pu Yuan.

"What did the palace ask you to build?"

Pu Yuan said as he took it and found it, and then read word by word:

"Carousel craft? What is this? Why haven't I heard of it? ”

"This should have been sent by the prince from Liangzhou."

"Huh? It looks like it's really that kid's style, and I'll have to take a good look. ”

As soon as he heard that it was Feng Yong's thing, Master Pu immediately became interested.

"Dangong, that coking coal ......"

Ding Niuwa asked cautiously.

Pu Yuan, who only looked down at the drawings, waved his hand casually: "Let me figure out what this thing is." ”

How can there be anything new and fun in burning coking coal?

When Ding Niuwa heard this, he finally breathed a sigh of relief, and he wiped the sweat on his forehead:

"It's almost winter, how do you feel warmer this year than last year!"

"I had an iron furnace set up behind me and add coking coal ......."

Pu Yuan opened his mouth to explain.

Ding Niuwa: ......

In October, the tenth year of Jianxing, Hanzhong seems to be warmer than last year.

As for Liangzhou, it is already the first time that the cold has penetrated through the clothes.

Although it hasn't snowed yet, Hua Man, who has hurried from Nanzhong, already feels that he has encountered the coldest season in his life.

He wore a small waist-length shawl, knee-length leather boots, refined wool trousers on his legs, and a skirt at his waist.

If it weren't for the fact that the hairstyle and headdress on her head were authentic Han Dynasty women's styles, that face would still be a familiar face in his memory, and Feng Tingshi would have thought that he had seen someone from his generation.

"It's cold, it's cold!"

Hua Fei stomped his feet and put his hands together and put them to his mouth to breathe.

The solid wood floor was cracked by flowery leather boots.

Hearing this, Feng Tingshi felt distressed for a while.

But the young master of the flower also muttered:

"Why don't you use cement and bluestone slabs? Holding so much money every day, it's like old money in the countryside......"

Feng pierced the tip of Shi's ear, and when he heard this, he was almost not angry.

I saw Feng Tingshi reply angrily:

"Only soil buns are made of cement! I feel upset when I see a cement house, what do you know? ”

The young master of the flower doesn't believe it!

How many cement houses are there in the whole Han?

And cement is a new thing that has only come out in the past two or three years, I heard that Feng Guiwang has been staying in Longyou and Liangzhou all these years, and Hua Shaozhu strongly suspects that this person has not seen a cement house.

So he must be bragging, like those boatmen by the big river!

"Alright, alright! I haven't seen each other for several years, and the flower lady still came all the way from Nanzhong, so can't you be polite? ”

General Guan is a virtuous helper, and he said a word on the side, which resolved the embarrassment of the two staring at each other.

As she spoke, she commanded her children under her knees:

"I've seen your Aunt Hua."

"I've seen Aunt Hua."

Hua Wei looked at Guan Ji with a complicated expression, and then glanced at her pair of children with a more complicated expression, and finally turned into a sigh:

"Your kids are so old......"

"There are also small ones, which have only passed a hundred days, and they are in the middle, so it is inconvenient to take them out."

Feng Tingshi interjected cheaply.

On the spot, the young master of the flower choked and rolled his eyes.

Looking at the triumphant expression of Ghost King Feng, he remembered this person before, no, it was this ghost!

This ghost knew that Guan Shilang was Guan Sanniang, and asked Guan Ji, who was disguised as a man, to deceive his innocent self, and the young master suddenly had the urge to pull out a flying knife.

If it weren't for the fact that the other party was Feng Ghost King, Young Master Hua swore that he would have already pierced ten or eight transparent holes with his flying knife.

Seeing that Hua Ji was angry, anxious and a little aggrieved, Guan Ji kicked Feng Tingshi dissatisfiedly.

Then he gestured to Amei, who was standing beside him.

Ah Mei hurriedly stepped forward and grabbed Hua Yan's arm:

"Ayimo, are you here?"

Hua Huan's temper came and went quickly, and I saw that she also grabbed Amei's hand, and her face turned into joy again:

"Yes, Ashima, I haven't seen you for years, I miss you!"

"I miss you too!"

The addition of Amei once again resolved the opposition between Feng Tingshi and Hua Shaozhu.

Watching Hua Fei direct the people to carry the things he brought with him to the house, and there were several large boxes among them, it seemed that the weight was not light.

However, the young master did not hand over the gift list, which made Feng Tingshi wonder.

After she sat down, Feng Tingshi finally couldn't help but ask:

"Flower lady, what are these things of yours? Why do you want people to move here? ”

If it is her belongings, it would be good to move them directly to the guest house, such a big Thorn Mansion, and there is no shortage of you a room.

After all, he is a young master of Hua who walks sideways in Nanzhong, and he has organized a horse team over the years, and I don't know how much money he has earned.

It's understandable to have more things to carry around.

But Hua Fei snorted and replied angrily:

"Didn't you send someone to me last year to send me a message asking me to collect more seeds from the southern, central, and southern countries?"

As she spoke, she stood up, her little leather boots "clicked", walked to the big boxes, stretched out her hand and patted them:

"Here are all kinds of seeds that I have personally harvested in the past two years......"

When Feng Yong heard this, he remembered this, he got up and asked in surprise:

"The matter...... Did you really do it? ”

When Hua Yan saw Feng Ghost King's appearance, she couldn't help but feel very proud in her heart, only to see her proudly raise her head:

"That's nature."

"What about the rice seeds in Linyi? Did you get it? ”

Feng Yong asked impatiently.

Hearing this, the proud little hen lowered her head again.

Seeing the dissatisfaction on Ghost King Feng's face, Young Master Hua pouted aggrievedly:

"I've inquired, the Linyi side, as well as the southernmost Funan, have to be reached by boat from Jiaozhou."

"If you want to go through Nanzhong, you can't get through at all."

Fart!

You think I haven't seen the world map?

However, thinking of this era, the environment of the Indochina Peninsula is afraid to be even more terrifying than the primeval forests of later generations.

With the horse team in the hands of Hua Hu, it is no different from sending the Indochina Peninsula by land.

"Okay, so what did you get?"

Feng Tingshi asked lazily.

The most wanted Linyi rice seed was not obtained, and Feng Tingshi immediately lost interest.

Other than that, he really couldn't think of anything else good in Indochina.

The ghost king is unhappy, and the consequences may be somewhat serious.

The young master of the flower hurriedly opened the box and took out one thing:

"This is the ...... of Panyue Country"

As soon as she spoke, Feng Tingshi's eyes were already straight.

directly scolded the Cao family:

"Hold Cao!"
