Lu Yique took Li Tangshan and Lu Duan to continue the visit, and Li Tangshan asked Lu Yique: "What did you just say about clean noodles?" ”

Lu Yique analyzed: "This clean surface is that when the bricks are dehydrated to a certain extent, while the bricks still have a certain plasticity, the appearance of the bricks is trimmed with pressing plates and vertical plates, so as to minimize the impact of irregularities and burrs of the bricks. Because it is similar to the process of haircutting and shaving of Baiyue people, the brick makers vividly call this process "clean face" and "face trimming"

Lu Duan asked: "Sir, the net surface can only be repaired on the top surface and side, but the bottom surface cannot be repaired?" ”

Lu Yique said with a smile: "Lu Duan, your observation is really strong, this is why the first requirement of the billet site is "flat". After the clean surface is good, it is necessary to put it on the shelf to dry, the bricks before the shelves must have a certain strength, otherwise they will be deformed, the moisture of the bricks is also very particular, the shelves are too early, the moisture content of the bricks is high, and the cracks will occur due to rapid dehydration after the shelves (especially in the high temperature and windy season); The shelves are late, and due to site limitations, the next step of work will be affected. ”

Li Tangshan nodded.

Lu Yique asked Lu Duan: "Lu Duan, what step do you think you should do after you put it on the shelf?" ”

Lu Duan thought about it seriously: "It should be able to be fired in a kiln." ”

Lu Yique smiled and said: "When the kiln is installed, it is necessary to carry out maintenance, and the maintenance of bricks is mainly to prevent cracks in the early stage and rainwater in the later stage." ”

Lu Duan asked puzzledly: "Why do you want to prevent rain?" ”

Lu Yiqi patiently analyzed: "Due to the long drying cycle, especially in our Longchuan city, rainwater is particularly abundant, and rainproof is the most concerned by billet workers. Whenever the rain hits suddenly, people run to their homes or buildings to avoid the rain, but the brick factory workers do the opposite, they run into the rain, which is the reason. ”

Lu Duan seemed to understand and nodded.

Lu Yique: "In fact, maintenance also includes the maintenance of the site. When the rain stops, the billet maker should inspect his billet site, and when he finds that there is stagnant water or rainwater erosion, he must sprinkle soil in time to repair it, so as to ensure the smoothness of the site. ”

Lu Duan asked with a smile: "The next step should be to install the kiln, and it should be the last step!" ”

Lu Yi nodded: "Yes!" When the bricks are dried for dozens of days, and the residual moisture reaches the requirements of the brick kiln, they can be inspected into the kiln. ”

Lu Duan asked, "Why?" ”

Lu Yiqiao: "The high residual moisture of the brick will prolong the drainage (moisture) time of the kiln and increase the energy consumption. The kiln loading is also the quality control checkpoint for the acceptance of the bricks, and only the bricks loaded into the kiln are the settlements for the billet making process. The kiln is also very important, you need the master to take it, the kiln temperature is too high, it will burn red bricks, and everyone needs to be green bricks. ”

Li Tangshan patted Lu Yiqing, the handmade process of bricks, through site trimming, soil selection and preparation, mud turning, billet making, clean surface, shelves and other processes, consumed physical strength, consumed time, reflecting the skills and sense of responsibility of brick makers.

Longchuan soon established a brick factory in Lu Yique, taking the first step in industrialization. With sufficient building materials, the architectural form of Longchuan has undergone tremendous changes. The city wall of Longchuan has changed from rammed earth to brick and stone concrete structure, and the city defense of Longchuan has been upgraded by several levels.

Looking at Longchuan City, which is getting better every day, Li Tangshan thought to himself if he could also establish a pottery factory, and the pottery factory could produce and make money if it was done well? But the point is.

Li Tangshan found Lu Yique and looked at Lu Yique, and found a few craftsmen who knew a little bit about pottery among the wanderers in Longchuan. Try some pottery making first, and then go into small mass production to see how feasible it is.

The coming is finally here, just as Li Tangshan is speeding up the industrialization of Longchuan, Panyu came with the news that the coach Ren Huan is seriously ill.

Li Tangshan and Mei Juan sat in the lobby for breakfast as usual, drinking a sip of tea to eat.

Li Tangshan: "Madam, what has Lu Jia been busy with lately?" It's been a long time since I've seen him come home. ”

Mei Juan blew the tea leaves on the water and said: "Xianggong, Lu Jia is with Zhao Tuo every day, Zhao County Ling attaches great importance to him, and he wants to take Lu Jia to Panyu together." Lu Jia wants to use the recent time to hand over government affairs. ”

Li Tangshan nodded: "There is less and less time left for us, I wanted to leave a Lu Jiajinxiu future, is it a blessing or a curse?" ”

When Mei Juan heard Li Tangshan's strange words, her heart hurt her son, and she glanced back at Li Tangshan: "Li Tangshan, do you talk about your son like this?" ”

Li Tangshan said with a smile: "Madam, this son of mine is like you, amazing!" In the future, he will be a good talent under one person and above ten thousand. Madam, power is a double-edged sword, it can be self-serving and it can hurt others. Madam, if you have time, enlighten him! ”

Mei Juan returned to Li Tangshan unhappily: "Your son is motivated, you should be happier, why don't you want him to be too motivated?" Is there a father like you? ”

Li Tangshan shook his head helplessly and smiled, thinking: "Once a woman has a child, she will become stupid. ”

Although Mei Juan was not happy in her heart, she thought carefully that Li Tangshan was not without morality, her eyes were closed because of love, and her child Lu Jia became unkind because of power. I still found time to persuade him, and Mei Juan thought about it while going back to the inner room.

Li Tangshan was very relieved to see that Mei Juan had listened to his words, Mei Juan has always been a respected hero! Sure enough, she has something special.

At this time, he came in from the countryside and reported: "Fellow, there is a young woman outside, who says that she is your family and accepts Li Wenji." ”

When Li Tangshan heard this, he immediately put down the teacup and said, "Second sister, why did you come from Xianyang City?" You go to the eldest lady, and the second lady and the third lady call out. ”

Mei Juan, Pan Li, and Zhao Man immediately came out of the inner courtyard and asked, "What's the matter?" ”

Li Tangshan said: "The elders of the family have sent people over. Let's go out together to meet the second sister! ”

Li Tangshan led everyone to the gate of Shida: "Second sister, why did you come too far to Longchuan and didn't notify us, so that we could pick you up?" ”

Li Wenji didn't even lift the curtains in the carriage: "Let's talk about it when we go back to the house!" ”

Li Tangshan knew that the second sister had a sudden visit, and the matter might not be as simple as he imagined: "Just drive the carriage into the back door, climb away, you send some people to strengthen the patrol, and there are suspicious people to kill them." ”

"Yes, Xianggong, I'll arrange it?" After saying that, he left.

Zhao Man held Li Tangshan's hand tightly, Li Tangshan found that her palms were sweaty, Li Tangshan patted her shoulder and said, "Just a relative at home, what are you afraid of?" ”

Zhao Man said slowly: "Xianggong, I feel a kind of ominousness, Xianggong, I haven't been so flustered for many years. ”

Mei Juan also whispered: "Xianggong, I feel the same way?" There are eyes staring at us. ”

Li Tangshan also pulled Mei Juan's hand back to the house, Li Tangshan was still very nervous when he saw Zhao Man: "Zhao Man, why don't you go to Zhao Tuo's place with Lu Duan for a few days?" The security over there would be much better. ”
