Chapter 141 Construction of a cement plant

If you want to produce cement in large quantities, the firing process is not a problem, the key is the grinding process.

At present, the process of making generators is not very mature, and electric grinding machines cannot be used in the short term;

Fortunately, Yulu and Lu are rich in human resources, and after they are done, let Xu Yun pour a section of cement road outside the Governor's Mansion and renovate the city wall.

"Okay, Your Royal Highness the Prince, wait a minute, I'll let someone prepare."

In these years, those who have money to repair houses and build houses use lime, and those who have no money use mud, and these few things that Liu Huayun asked for can be easily found in Kaifeng City.

"Huayun, who the hell are you? How do you understand so many unbelievable things? ”

After Xu Yun left, He Jin finally asked the question she had been holding in her heart for the past few days.

When he first met Liu Huayun outside Lingyin Temple, He Jin only thought that he was a little bold and talented in Liufu, and a little shameless;

But as he instructed Ye Xunxi and others to make muskets and improve the Shenwei cannon, He Jin began to look at him with admiration, and it became more and more difficult to give up in his heart.

Later, the construction of electric lamps in the Fuma Mansion, the search for nickel ore to smelt stainless steel, the current technology of hybridizing wheat and corn, and the cement that can replace lime, which has not been touched by generations of capable people, did not make her more and more curious about her background.

As for what he said at the beginning, the words of the people in Beijing and Tianjin who are in the middle of the road should be deceitful nonsense.

"Jin'er, there are some things I can't say, and you won't believe it when you say it, as long as you understand, I will never harm you."

Asked by the woman about his past again, Liu Huayun reached out and grabbed He Jin's jade hand, and said with a solemn wry smile.

"Okay, I believe you, let go, if outsiders see it, the two of us will ......"

"Brother, my mother has cooked a meal, I heard that you are going to build a factory on the outskirts of the city later, I will go with you."

He Jin has always shown himself as a man, and this kind of passionate scene is the most unbelievable;

Fortunately, after she finished speaking, Liu Huayun let go of her, otherwise she would have been bumped into by Xu Li'er, who was rushing from outside, and she was really speechless.

"It's okay, Li'er, let's go together."

Now that he lives in the house with the Xu family, he really can't be as close to He Jin as he used to be, hehe, Liu Huayun rubbed Xu Li'er's forehead, and said with a doting smile.

After lunch, the group left the Admiral's Mansion and headed in the direction of the outskirts of the city.

"Brother, are you going to Liangshan in two days? Take Li'er with you, I also miss Brother Ji a little. ”

On the way, I heard that he was about to leave, so Xu Li'er reluctantly pulled him and said.

"Little girl, do you want to go back to the capital with me, but can you really leave your little brother and mother?"

"Reluctantly, or I'll go with my mother and little brother, no, we're all leaving, what should my father do......"

"Girl, even if you still have a little conscience, my father hasn't hurt you in vain all these years......"

Today, Xu Li'er not only used the gold given by Liu Huayun to order a light cyan skirt, but also because of her father Xu Yun's happiness, her little face was full of smiles;

It seems more and more lively and cute, accompanied by her pistachio along the way, and everyone is not lonely.

Burning cement needs to build a charcoal kiln, the general firewood fire power is not up to the requirements, must use coal, fortunately there is a coal mine in the west of a county, and there is no shortage of coal in Kaifeng City;

In addition, the cement plant is seriously polluted and must be selected in a sparsely populated place.

"Father-in-law, just choose this highland."

A few people went around the suburbs for a long time, and a place where fifteen or sixteen families lived on higher ground was favored by Liu Huayun.

This piece of highland is only seven or eight acres in size, but fortunately, there are very few residents around, and it doesn't take much money to relocate and resettle the whole area.

With the experience in Ningbo Mansion and Xu Yun's reputation in Kaifeng City, it didn't take too much to speak, and all the people in this area agreed.

Of course, they are very poor in life, and they have asked for their family laborers to go to work in the cement factory that has been built;

After all, although the cement factory is dirty and tiring, Liu Huayun's salary is much higher than that of other places.

After arranging the demolition of the people, everyone went around the city again before returning to the governor's palace.

"Lord Liu, you have made the smelting furnace ready, you can see if it is okay."

Building a factory could not be completed in a day or two, so Liu Huayun asked the craftsman who was smelting silver to get him a small furnace to test the firing of cement in order to find the best proportioning scheme.

When the few people returned to the Admiral's Mansion, Wang Yue, the head of the household, personally sent a small coal-fired stove less than two feet high, and the iron sand, quicklime, sand and gravel ...... that Xu Yun had people buy, as well as two or three stone mills, were also piled up in the courtyard.

"It's okay, there's King Lao."

After a few glances, Liu Huayun nodded with satisfaction and thanked him.

"Lord Liu is polite, His Royal Highness the Prince, if the minister wants to escort Guanyin to Luoyang tomorrow, he will retire first......"

"It's okay, Aiqing has worked hard."

The smelting of official silver is nearing completion, and the season of sowing cannot be missed, and the silver owed to those big merchants on credit should also be returned;

Therefore, Wang Yue, Yu Boyan and others will be very busy, and He Jin waved his hand very understandingly.

Crushing iron sand, quicklime, sand and gravel with a stone mill, that is absolute strength work, fortunately, Lu Feng, Guo Jing, Bi Sheng and others are idle.

Half an hour later, dozens of catties of ground scrap were formed, and from this moment on, Liu Huayun began to fire repeatedly.

At noon on the second day, when Liu Huayun commanded Bi Sheng and others to lay a small cement floor with several kinds of fired cement mixed with coarse sand and gravel to see which ratio had the best effect;

Cui Dibao and dozens of villagers from Xinghuaying Village also drove ox carts to the outside of the Admiral's Mansion.

"Uncle Xuan, Brother Erniu, do you really own your own land?"

The Admiral personally asked people to stamp the documents, and also sent them more than a dozen carts of grain as seeds, and handed over the copied hybrid technology to everyone, Ge Erniu and the others wanted to kowtow and thank them;

The momentum was so great that it was hard not to attract the attention of the onlookers, and as they were leaving, some people of good deeds inquired and immediately asked with envy.

"This is natural, our Xinghuaying Village is a reform pilot village appointed by Lord Banzai and His Royal Highness the Prince, Lord Liu and Lord Xu have said that in a few months, they will be promoted to the four towns and eight neighbors......"

The man from Xinghuaying Village explained, and the faces of the others were full of pride and excitement.

"Really, in this way, when it comes to planting wheat, won't we be able to ...... like you in Hezhai Village, this is great, I want to go back quickly and tell the good news to my father and fellow villagers.......

"Erniu, you are really lucky, if you can't eat all the food at that time, you must lend some ...... to the younger brother's family."

The land of Xinghuaying Village was recovered, and the matter of distributing it to all the villagers spread from Kaifeng to the surrounding towns and villages like wings as the word of mouth of the people;

Many people who are still struggling for food and clothing are as excited as if they saw the dawn in the darkness.
