Chapter 141: The Wind Rises
The next day, Yan Band came to find Ye Ping with a few pieces of U-shaped iron.
"Ye Zhenren, I have already created these samples according to your wishes, can you see if they are compliant?"
Ye Ping took a look, weighed it, and tested it with tools, and the hardness and flexibility were just right.
At this time, the quality of the horseshoe was already very good.
"Very good, press this! Remember that the quality of each piece must be strictly controlled, otherwise this product will rot in your hands! ”
After finishing, he took a sample and gave it to Yan Kuan.
Quality is a very important part of the product, if you don't do it well, you will lose all your efforts.
Yan Kuan took a look.
"Ye Zhenren, really good eyesight, no matter which aspect you look at, I also think this piece is the best.
I've been striking iron for decades, and I've never seen your method of doing it, and I didn't expect that the quality of the iron cast with your method would be so high! It is completely unnecessary to forge to achieve the highest quality. ”
"Hahaha, I love to hear what you say, but that method ......"
"Don't worry, this method is only known to me, and no one else knows."
"That's good, if it's the ...... of the royal family"
Yan Kuan is a smart person who knows what to say and what not to say.
"The Wang family caused my blacksmith shop to almost go bankrupt, I can't bear this, they want it? That's impossible! Moreover, I have already received the benefits of Ye Zhenren, how can I betray my conscience? ”
"Hahaha, Yan Kuan, you are really a suitable partner for business, I am very optimistic about you."
This kind of person should have good luck.
"If there is nothing to do, then I will go to supervise the construction first, and try to give you 40,000 pieces of iron in two days!"
"I'm tired."
"No!"
After that, Yan Kuan left the tavern.
At this time, Xue Rengui walked in from outside.
As soon as he saw Ye Ping there, he said: "Big brother, recently, there have been rumors everywhere in Chang'an City about you wanting to solve the wear and tear of horses' hooves. ”
When Ye Ping heard this, he laughed out loud.
"Big brother, what are you?"
"Some of them are adding fuel to the fire, and some people are ready to see my jokes, but it's okay, two days later, they will definitely refresh their cognition and let them know that I, Ye Ping, will do what I say!"
Although Ye Ping didn't know who was talking nonsense, his method had been verified by later generations, and he just followed it.
"So, big brother is going to make a lot of money again? The money of the imperial court is not earned in vain. ”
Xue Rengui said.
"No, how much money can the imperial court make? Making too much money is tantamount to snatching food, and what I want to earn is the money of the big family. After only two days, they will beg me and give me money! ”
Someone happened to spread the news, so in this way, there will definitely be more families participating in the West Market that day.
At that point, you can implement another plan yourself. That's what makes money.
At this time, Su Lie also came in from outside.
He was dusty, and his whole person was a little disgraced, and those who didn't know thought he had rolled on the ground.
"Master, I'm back!"
"How's it going?"
"We have acquired dozens of clay kilns ten miles south of Chang'an City! We also start research and manufacture of cement as you wish! ”
Cement is a new word, and it took Ye Ping a lot of time to teach Su Lie and Xue Rengui why they made this thing.
The matter of cement also came to me that night.
Sun Simiao is now conducting medical research, which cannot be completed in a short period of time, and the suspension of his pharmaceutical company cannot be implemented.
And he turned his attention to another industry.
Construction! In fact, there is no conflict between the two, and it is even possible to start building first, and then use the money earned from construction to support medical research.
At present, the number of Sun Simiao and his disciples can only be regarded as just right, and there can be one more time to speed up the progress of research.
If you want to engage in the construction industry, you must start manufacturing with cement.
So he paid for the clay kiln in the south of the city.
Originally, these clay kilns were used for the production of bricks and ceramics.
Ye Ping is going to use it for cement experiments after taking over.
Cement is made of limestone and clay as the main raw materials, which are crushed, batched and ground to make raw meal, and then fed into the kiln to calcine the mature material, and then the clinker is ground with an appropriate amount of gypsum.
The materials that are ground to a certain fineness by calcareous raw materials, clay raw materials and a small amount of correction raw materials (sometimes mineralizers, crystal seeds, etc., and coal are added during vertical kiln production) are matched in proportion and ground to a certain fineness, which is called cement raw meal.
Although the principle is simple, it is not easy to do.
Therefore, he still needs to invest some manpower and material resources, which is a lot of investment, but he has money, and next, he is still making a lot of money, so after thinking about it, he asked Su Lie to find the address and location yesterday afternoon.
Sure enough, he found it.
He also thought that building a ten-story building on the basis of his original tavern would be incomparably tall compared to a two-story tavern.
He also has enough of living in the current low-rise buildings.
Say whatever you want to do with a big set.
At the same time, it also let Li Shimin see what knowledge is power.
You can also burst points or something.
As soon as Su Lie finished speaking, he didn't get a response from Ye Ping.
Then he asked, "Master, do you need me to do anything?" ”
Only then did Ye Ping realize that he had lost his mind.
"You will be responsible for this matter in the future! This is the first major event of our Chang'an store recently! Very important! Also, you take the money to make a plaque with the words Chang'an Cement Factory written on it. ”
"Yes, master!"
Su Lie was still afraid that Ye Ping would not hand over things for him, and in recent times, Mrs. Su's illness has gradually improved, the better her illness, the stronger Su Lie's gratitude to Ye Ping.
If you say five years, you will have five years.
In the past five years, unless Ye Ping asks him to leave, he will definitely not leave.
He also likes this kind of life, and with Ye Pinggan, he feels that there are new things every day. It turns out that he has lived in vain for decades.
"Okay, you go down, I still have something to explain to Rengui!"
"Yes!"
"Rengui, I want you to prepare a few good frustration knives, they must be sharp!"
"Big brother, this ......"
"Don't ask, just do it!"
"Yes!"
Ye Ping didn't know that at this time, there was already a storm in the entire Chang'an City, and there were rumors everywhere about him solving the wear and tear of the horse's hooves.
For example, Li Chengqian, Li Mingyu and others also heard about it, and they also thought that Ye Ping could not achieve it.
And this matter also spread to the Kong family, such as Kong Shaoqing expressed some worries.
But these things are Ye Ping's business, and they can't do it, and they can't control anything.
We'll see what happens in two days.
