Chapter 18 The Sprout of Industry and the College of Hope
failed to bring down Lu Cheng, Shi Lei was very dissatisfied, and came to Biluo Villa from time to time to harass Zhao Yunrang, but every time he asked Zhao Yunrang to arrest laborers.
It's Yan Zhao, who comes to Biluo Villa to run if he has nothing to do, and he is more diligent than Shi Lei.
But Zhao Yunrang didn't catch him once to do anything.
Lao Zhou's father and son are bankrupt this time, and the silver settled two days before the prison will probably be able to fill the hole this time.
According to Lao Zhou, he planned to talk to Zhao Yunrang, go home, and return to his hometown, the water in Bianliang City was too deep.
But Zhao Yunrang said something and pulled Lao Zhou back.
Lao Zhou will never admit that he stayed because Zhao Yunrang promised that within a year, Lao Zhou's business scale would be larger than it is now.
For the sake of his son's future, he stayed in Bianliang City.
No, just a little better, Lao Zhou asked Zhao Yun to report to work.
Zhao Yunrang was helpless, he dared to love the face of this ancient!
However, regarding Lao Zhou's father and son, Zhao Yunrang really had a plan, he didn't have professional ethics, and his character was also excellent, so it was beneficial for such a talent to stay by his side.
The big playground of Biluo Villa is considered to have been built, and it is just one school away.
Zhao Yunrang scratched his head, first of all, this teacher is not easy to find, although it is estimated that there are all kinds of teachers in Guozi Prison, but letting them come here is equivalent to getting the professor from Tsinghua University to do Hope Primary School, and no one comes.
Zhao Yunrang was thinking about whether he could invite Ouyang Xiu here, but after thinking about it, no, people are now in the college entrance examination, so let's wait until I get the Jinshi.
When the time comes, maybe I will bring out a Su Si Su Wu.
The bricks and stones that had been burned by the fire could not be used.
In addition, the general supervisor also suddenly started a large construction project, and at this time the city was built.
All of a sudden, the price of bricks and stones in Bianliang City skyrocketed.
The most affected is naturally Zhao Yunrang's small mountain village.
This is out of your own pocket, if you use it all to buy bricks and stones, how can you carry out the next step of infrastructure?
This Lu Cheng is clearly revenge for personal gain!
However, this is a conspiracy, and there is no way.
As for the bricks and stones from other places, it is a big problem to transport them.
The most important thing is that even if it can be transported, it will take time and cost to transport.
I can only rely on myself.
"Little prince, I'm sorry for you, this brick and stone is really not ready, and it looks like it's going to be cold, and it's not suitable to build Zhuangzi anymore."
Lao Zhou looked very ashamed.
Zhao Yunrang waved his hand: "It's nothing, it's a big deal to celebrate the New Year like this, but next year, we will definitely build Zhuangzi!" ”
Today, what Zhao Yunrang is going to talk to Lao Zhou about is the matter of building Zhuangzi.
"Lao Zhou, how about you build a brick kiln, so that you can produce and sell one-stop, and the benefits are all yours alone."
Lao Zhou shook his head, the firing heat of this water-milled green brick is very important, and without skilled craftsmen, no one can build a green brick kiln.
Moreover, this green brick is made of clay, and clay is everywhere, but when the clay is mixed with water to make bricks, it must be drenched with water when it is placed in a brick kiln for calcination.
In this way, the green bricks can be fired.
Because of this, the green brick kiln must open a water spout on it, which directly leads to the fact that the green brick kiln will not be too large.
Zhao Yunrang smiled and said, "What if we don't get drenched?" ”
Not drenched?
Lao Zhou was dumbfounded, he really hadn't heard of burning bricks and tiles without pouring water.
"Don't worry, I have a brick kiln that doesn't get watered!"
Zhao Yunrang said this with certainty.
In the past few days, he has found several drawings of brick kilns from the system.
The tunnel kiln is not done, and there are too many supporting equipment needed, so it can only be abandoned.
What can be taken out can only be the wheel kiln known as the "gossip kiln".
The continuous operation of the wheel kiln has a large production capacity, and the combustion flue gas is discharged through the pre-tropical flue, which can be used to fully preheat the bricks.
High yield and coal saving!
It's such a simple description, Lao Zhou's heart is itching, it's good to be a dealer, but the entire production and sales are in their own hands, and this industry is a big deal.
Looking at Lao Zhou's longing look, Zhao Yunrang directly threw him a drawing of bricks and tiles in the book of building French style, which described in detail the sizes and usages of various different bricks.
Even the formula for calculating the number of bricks and tiles is in it.
"It's going to be the official market access standard." Zhao Yunrang mysteriously prophesied.
This construction method is about the professional standard of architecture, but now Zhao Yunrang has decided that this standard should be formulated by himself.
Isn't there a saying in modern times, third-rate enterprises sell products, second-rate enterprises sell technology, and first-class enterprises sell standards!
No problem, we are a trinity, with our own standards, with our own technology, to produce our own products!
At present, there are two most pressing problems, one is the construction of wheel kilns, and the other is the problem of fuel.
Because of the scale of the green brick kiln, you can also use some firewood and grass, and charcoal will be used in a better kiln.
But for mass production, it has to be coal!
Coal is known as the blood of industry, and with blood, industry can develop.
Thinking about the beginning, Zhao Yunrang had a sense of pride in the complete range of industries in his previous life, but he never forgot it.
Don't ask for anything and build an industrial Song Dynasty, this is the germ of capitalism in the Northern Song Dynasty!
The construction of the brick kiln was handed over to Lao Zhou, but Zhao Yunrang specially instructed that the brick kiln should be ten miles away from Biluo Villa.
The most important thing is to build it in the southeast direction of Zhuangzi.
In the face of Lao Zhou's doubts, Zhao Yunrang didn't have the heart to explain to him the concept of a prevailing monsoon, what is this called?
By the way, this is called "Purple Qi from the East"!
Xiao Zhou was sent to Ruzhou by Zhao Yunrang.
and took a thousand taels of silver to buy land.
Now the land is privately owned, and the fertile land is still quite valuable.
However, where there is an open-pit coal mine, the land is absolutely barren to the extreme, and it is basically a barren land.
Cheap in one word!
It is said that there may be more open-pit coal mines in Inner Mongolia, but at this time it is estimated that they are all nomads.
That's a long way to go with today's traffic standards!
When the time comes, coal will be more expensive than bricks, and the gains will outweigh the losses!
Ruzhou!
It is Pingdingshan, Zhao Yunrang remembers that there are large coal mines here, and there are also some small open-pit coal mines here.
It's just right, it is estimated that it can be used for burning bricks, how can it be used for decades!
By the way, I told Xiao Zhou the key points of the coal mine survey, in fact, it was okay to tell him the location directly, but it was too shocking.
What if the imperial court finds out and lets itself go all over the world looking for coal mines?
This Ruzhou is only three or four hundred miles away from Kaifeng.
Brick kilns can also be built locally, and coal can also be transported, after all, a metropolis like Bianliang City still uses firewood and grass as the main raw material, which is really incomprehensible.
Originally, Zhao Yunrang did not plan to use such a large amount of coal, after all, after many years of education, he still has environmental awareness.
But there is no way, it is estimated that the earth still has this purification ability.
And with coal, there is more to develop.
Things are going well.
In a month's time, ten miles southeast of Biluo Villa, nine wheel kilns were built.
The coal mine in Ruzhou was also bought smoothly, but as soon as coal was found, several local heroes thought about regretting it.
Xiao Liuzi, who followed Xiao Zhou, did not make a move this time, but casually threw out a waist card of Zhou Wangfu.
Immediately, Zhonghaoqiang turned into a soft-footed shrimp, not only no longer making trouble, but also sending out his family to help maintain order in the coal mine.
By the time the first light snow fell, the large playground of the lodge had been stacked into a large red wall.
When Lao Zhou came out of the first kiln brick, he came to Zhao Yunrang in fear, saying that the bricks were burned out.
Zhao Yun laughed, not only did it not burn out, but it burned very successfully, this is the purple qi coming from the east!
In the future, this is the standard model of Da Song bricks and tiles.
Before the winter, Zhao Yunrang first let the side of the playground build a five-in, three-story house with red walls and blue tiles.
There is also a large plaque with a thin gold body on the face: Hope Academy!
The villagers all looked strange, how could there be a house built entirely of bricks and tiles in these years?
Even the most extravagant is just a few pieces in key places.
The house is built, the windows are bigger than the average house, and the paper used to paste the windows is the best, with good toughness and good light transmission.
Such a good house, I'm afraid Zhao Yun let him live in it, maybe this is the other courtyard of King Zhou's mansion!
As a result, a few villagers who could talk to Xiao Liuzi scoffed, what a courtyard, this is a school built by Xiao Wang Ye specifically for the village.
School?
Biluo Villa is boiling!
Who has ever seen a Zhuangzi have a school in these years.
Even if it is a town, if there is an old show to open a private school, it has to be the children of a rich family to go.
At best, there is a county school in a county, and this school is better built than the county school, is it specially prepared for those noble children?
The last news made the villagers crazy, all the children of the villagers of Biluo Villa, if one is counted as one, they can go to school.
Gratis!
At that time, a group of old men with white beards and hair ran to Zhao Yunrang to kowtow, which made Zhao Yunrang at a loss.
Pick up this and kneel down that.
In the end, Zhao Yunrang made a big move, and if anyone knelt again, the child's admission qualification would be cancelled immediately, which stopped the old man's gratitude.
However, the house has just been built and is not ready for use for the time being.
Moreover, this teacher is not easy to find, at least he has to be a showman!
However, at this time, Xiucai must belong to high-level intellectuals.
If you are younger, you still plan to continue to take the college entrance examination - well, it's the imperial examination!
Those who are older either devote themselves to the business world or are staff members, and only the poorest open private schools.
"The family has three buckets of food, and it is not the king of children" is not just talking.
Zhao Yunlet think about it, it is estimated that he can't play on his own, in fact, it is good to start classes again next year.
Because next year is the year of Dabi, it is estimated that there are many outstanding candidates for teachers.
Also, I don't seem to have seen any national version of the textbook, if this thing is compiled now, it will be a lot of effort!
Let's take it slowly!
Let's wait for the start of spring before the official start of school, Zhao Yunrang felt for the first time that being a principal should be a headache.
I don't know how Old Master Kong survived in the first place.
