Chapter 156: Return to Beijing
Through this incident, the identities of Liu Huayun and Zhao Lingxin were quickly known by the people of the four towns and neighbors, he was actually the master of the dynasty, and the little lady with strong martial arts was Her Royal Highness the princess with a distinguished status;
Since then, no one dares to peep at Dong Xiaowan's three daughters, who went to the river to do laundry, and their lives have returned to peace and calm.
Time is like an arrow, the sun and the moon are like a shuttle, and in the blink of an eye, more than a month has passed in a hurry.
"This cement wall is much stronger than lime and clay, but it is not easy to master......"
"Zhao Shan, you've only been here for a long time, what do you know? Childe said that cement mixed with water and fine sand should be mixed and used......
Don't think that you are a famous bricklayer in Daliu Township, you know everything, and there is still a lot to learn? Otherwise, after cement replaces lime in the future, you will have nothing to eat. ”
At the same time as the drilling rig roared, on a piece of land with dozens of acres of land outside Gezhuang Village, the foundation of the factory building with concrete pouring stones was rising from the ground.
Seventy or eighty plasterers from the townships of Linxian County, with the cooperation of more than 100 soldiers of the engineering battalion, built brick walls in them.
On the other side, the original hills full of loess mounds have been turned into brick kilns for firing red bricks, and men, women, and dozens of soldiers from Gezhuang Village are constantly shuttling back and forth in them with rickshaws.
It turned out that during this period of time, Liu Quankui, Ma Liang, Zhang Falin and others had already built electric grinders and pumps under the guidance of Liu Huayun, and at the same time, electric brick cutting machines were also made;
Well, since the red bricks can be fired, it is enough to save a lot of manpower and material resources to go dozens of miles away to buy green bricks, saving time and cost, which is not a little bit or two.
Because of this, the idle laborers in Gezhuang Village were able to find a job so quickly.
With the use of so many machines, the rate of one generator is simply not enough, so Liu Huayun asked them to build a few; Correspondingly, the consumption of coal is also huge, and dozens of taels of silver must be invested every day.
Therefore, seven or eight days ago, he personally made a trip to Zibo, the nearest coal-producing area, and bought a large area of mountainous land to transport the stones to the coal mining area.
Of course, to be able to use motors and generators to such a degree in such a period of time, in addition to the exhaustion of Ma Liang and others;
Liu Huayun's design of an electric machine tool that can cut and polish steel also played a vital role.
"Xianggong, is there really oil down there? How did you make Xie Yuan stop them. ”
"Yes, Sister Lingxin is right, is it possible that our hard work for more than a month has been in vain?"
After such a long time of drilling, pumping mud, and then drilling and pumping mud, etc., according to Liu Huayun, it has been driven into the ground more than 20 zhang deep;
This morning, he checked the shale chips from the pipe drill belt, and he decisively stopped the mining, which made Zhao Lingxin and Dong Xiaowan very puzzled.
"Lingxin, Wan'er, don't worry, I'm ninety percent sure that I can get oil here, but it's not the time to finally get through, you guys prepare, let's go back to the capital tomorrow."
With a faint smile, holding Dong Xiaowan and Zhao Lingxin's jade hands, Liu Huayun said.
Based on the experience of his previous life, he can be sure that there is definitely oil underneath this shale that has been mined for several days;
However, he is not sure whether it is an oil and gas field below, and he dares to drill it directly before building a plant that can be properly stored and utilized.
The terrain of Gezhuang Village is so low, if there is a blowout, it will be dangerous and wasteful, and it will take several months to build a factory and build an oil refinery pond at the earliest.
It is estimated that the electrolysis of petroleum and the mass production of toiletries from plastic will not be realized until at least next year.
In addition, the manufacture of oil drums for storing gasoline, diesel, and kerosene also requires a lot of steel and manpower, and Liu Huayun must first go back to the capital to communicate with He Jin and the old man;
In order to use the power of the imperial court to mobilize skilled craftsmen, and material resources.
Liu Quankui, Ma Liang, and Zhang Falin, after this period of training, have been able to skillfully operate and manage power generation equipment;
Especially Liu Quankui, who has been able to take charge on his own, Liu Huayun handed over the matter of building the factory to him and reconciled, which is quite relieved.
"Well, that's fine, I also miss Sister Tingting and Sister Ruoxi a little."
Hearing that she could return to the capital for a while, Dong Xiaowanqiao said with joy on her face, and Zhao Lingxin on the side would not object.
There was no word all night, and the time soon came to the morning of the second day.
"Sir, don't worry, leave the matter here to us, and there will be absolutely no mistakes."
"Quan Kui, what he said is right, we will get these parts as soon as possible, but the villain has been gone for almost two months, and this letter from the family has to be handed over to the ...... of the family."
"Well~~~ Yes, and mine, trouble the lord and the lady."
Liu Huayun handed over more than a dozen drawn drawings of diesel engine parts to Ma Liang and others, and told Xie Yuan and Shi not to use generators when it rains, and to pay attention not to touch the copper wire wrapped in cowhide;
After leaving enough money, he got on the horse, and under the reluctant wave of Xia Yuhe's father and daughter, he took his two wives and Gao Cheng together and left Gejiazhuang to go to the Yellow River crossing.
At the beginning, he had a few thousand taels of silver tickets on him, plus the thousand taels of gold sent by his father after Shen Fubai was abused, and now they have been exchanged for silver taels, copper coins and materials, even if Liu Huayun does not come back for a few months;
With Xie Yuan and Liu Quankui supervising and restricting each other, there will be no problems at the construction site outside Gezhuang Village.
Of course, with the use of electric motors, the mass production of building steel bars, cement, red bricks, etc., will not be used up in the future.
Liu Huayun asked the soldiers of the engineering battalion to make the slabs, and if someone needed them, they could also sell them in small quantities;
The price of cement is only three to five times that of lime, and under the word of mouth of the plasterers in the four towns and eight neighbors, someone will definitely buy it, and over time, the profits of the cement factory alone should be able to meet the expenses of hundreds of people.
The three horses disappeared, and when the sun was rising, they had already appeared on the south bank of the Yellow River.
"Grandma's, this is too much of a waste of time, sooner or later, Lao Tzu will build a bridge on it to connect the economic lifeline of the north and south of Dafeng."
Looking at the water of the Yellow River rolling in front of him, Liu Huayun couldn't help but secretly swear, fortunately, a moment later, a ferry boat came from the center of the river.
"Brother Li, long live this illness should be in a hurry, not a medicine stone can cure it......"
"Yes, Brother Chu and I see the same thing, I'm afraid that rumor may be true......"
"Shh~~~, the two of you are cautious about that, criticize the royal family, if you don't get it right, you will cut off your head......"
The harem of the imperial city was heavily guarded, and at this moment, all the imperial doctors were in the main hall, whispering with ugly faces.
"Imperial Doctor An, my father is fine, you must save his old man."
In the dormitory, outside the bed of the old emperor He Yu, He Jin asked the old man who walked out with an anxious face.
