Generally speaking, the best location for steel companies is next to the place of origin, either close to iron ore or near coal mines, and at least one less material is being transported.

But Su Baiyi built the steel production plant in Guide Province, which is not close to the iron ore production area, and is 108,000 miles away from the coal mine production area, which is logically unscientific.

At least not economically.

But there is no way!

Steelmaking is highly classified, and these technologies can only be kept under your nose. If it gets to the Taiping Mansion or other places, it is guaranteed that these steel-making skills will be passed on to the hands of Liaodong Braids that day.

The raw materials required for steelmaking are very common, and the skills are not particularly complicated, and the local method can be used. If those wild boar skins that came running over from Lake Baikal really made extremely sharp cold weapons, the Ming Dynasty would be even more vulnerable.

At least for a while, before the mass spread of thermal weapons to the military, this method of refining steel could not be passed on.

Therefore, you can only choose Guide as the main base.

Moreover, after all, the steel used in the entire Longhai railway line is only 200,000 tons, plus some steel for research, 300,000 tons is up to the sky, and the amount is not very large. When there are conditions in the future, it is a big deal to re-locate and build a steel-making base, and this one can be retained as a scientific research base.

But now, on the blank paper produced by the Ming Dynasty, the steelworks in Guide are destined to be the only ones. Su Baiyi decided to decorate the façade of this emerging originator steel company.

At least, isn't it necessary to build a decent workshop?

A huge steel production workshop has two most basic requirements, one is a large span and a certain height; Second, be fireproof!

In the current situation, Su Baiyi can only think of one building material that meets this requirement: reinforced concrete structure.

And so!

Lord Su commanded his subordinates to work closely and collaboratively during the day, and at night he used the newly made sheep's eye circles to make Yu Mutong want to live and die, and when he got up in the middle of the night, he had to sneak to the boat to do something unseemly.

When I came back from Shandong before, I brought a few big boats, but now they are all empty and stay on the bank of the Yellow River, Su Baiyi sneaked on the boat, and then opened the system, regardless of the three-seven-twenty-one, he began to buy.

To make concrete, there are two things that are indispensable!

One is cement, and the other is rebar!

As for the rest of the sand, gravel and water, there is no need to buy it from the system.

I bought 100 tons of bagged cement in one go and put it on three large ships, and at dawn the next day, I ordered the workers to carry it on the ship.

Su Baiyi's words naturally no one doubted, the workers went to the dock under the leadership of Fu Lin to carry it, moved the fresh cement to the shore and put it on a high place, and covered all the cement with a tarp to prevent moisture. Cement stays in place for later use!

Of course, the classrooms in the Yuyuan also needed cement, so some of them were transported from the Yellow River.

In the following time, Fu Lin took the workers recruited from Guide Mansion to assist Wang Zheng to start the large-scale construction along the Yellow River.

One is to build blast furnace and dry distillation equipment, and the other is to build a plant! Another important thing to build: warehouses!

Su Baiyi felt that it was really a painful thing to develop industry in a place where there was nothing, even if he mastered the state apparatus and mobilized enough manpower and material resources, many things could not be achieved overnight.

For example, steel production!

Before the slightest clue, everyone was already busy.

For more than ten days, everyone was still engaged in construction, and the construction project was still very early to be completed.

Su Baiyi knew that he was in a hurry, and the construction was on the right track, so he simply handed over the affairs by the Yellow River to Fu Lin and Wang Zheng to be fully responsible, ran to the territory of Yuyuan, and made flowers with his baby apprentice Bao Erhei.

The moon season is blooming!

This plant is very magical, and if it is well maintained, it can bloom in 40 days.

Let the people pluck the fresh petals from the branches, and then put them together in the distillation equipment that has been prepared for a long time, and burn them at the bottom of the distillation equipment for a day and a night with high fire, and the condenser tube will continue to flow out of the yellowish oil droplets.

This oil drop is the essence of the moon flower, and the scientific name is essential oil!

It can be called the essential oil of the moon season, of course, the family of the moon season and the rose are relatively close, botanically it is a close relative, the essential oil of the two is not much different in chemical composition, and the essential oil of the moon season can also be reluctantly called rose essential oil.

Essential oils are the essence of flowers, more than ten times more fragrant than flowers, and can be stored.

Su Baiyi used the method of later generations, took out a small amount of essential oil and alcohol and mixed it together to make a fragrant and charming perfume, and then sealed it in a high-end glass bottle with a unique shape, and only needed to spill a little bit when using it, so that the whole person could be filled with a fragrance of flowers.

In the era when incense dominated the entire Ming Dynasty, as soon as this pure natural fragrance was released, needless to say, Su Baiyi could predict how popular it would be.

It's different from glass!

For the average nobleman, some people like glass, and some people like ceramics!

But this one-of-a-kind perfume, as long as it is a wealthy lady, as long as the lady does not have a problem with her nose or brain, then she will love it 100%.

It's just that everyone's favorite taste is different, some people may like roses, some people like jasmine.

The result of the sale made Su Baiyi dumbfounded.

He had tried to overestimate how much perfume was loved by noblewomen in this era, but he still underestimated it.

Because of the relatively small number of petals and the low production of essential oils, there were only 200 bottles of essential oils produced for the first time when they were put on the market as perfumes!

Su Baiyi had the attitude of trying it out, and the price of each bottle was ten taels of silver, and it was put on the Yuge exhibition for sale.

In the middle of the morning, 200 bottles of perfume were sold out!

There are only a few wealthy families in Guide Mansion, even if each family has a few female dependents, it should not be sold out in an instant, because there are far less than those just needs!

It is not excluded that one person may buy multiple bottles and then use them to give them away.

However, on this day, almost all the flowers in the thousands of acres of the moon season in the Guide Mansion have been picked, and it is impossible to pick them again in the remaining three or five days, and the next perfume sale does not know when. Fortunately, Su Baiyi is a person who understands taste, and the perfume he made was not all taken out for sale, but he specially got a few bottles of high concentration and put them in his pocket and brought them back to his home.

As soon as he arrived home, Chunyan jumped over, raised an excited smile, and asked, "Young master, I heard the people on the street say that you have made something good again, young master, and the neighbors praise you!" ”

"yes!" Su Baiyi smiled and flicked lightly on Chunyan's forehead, and said: "In the blink of an eye, the old hen becomes a duck, my lord, I have not been out for the past few months, and Chunyan has become a big girl in a blink of an eye." You see, such a big person, when you walk, you still jump and jump a lot of unorthodox, you learn from Mrs., when you walk, you have to keep your chest up, yes, yes, yes, that's it, well, really obedient, and slightly cocked buttocks, and then the two feet can't be too separated, try to go in a straight line when walking. Hey, yes, yes, well done, reward! ”

As he spoke, he handed a bottle of perfume to Chunyan.

Spring smoke happily took it, and then ran away.

Su Baiyi: "............"

Just said it for nothing.

"The young master is necrotic, he deliberately lied to me!" Chunyan's face was flushed, not that Su Baiyi didn't understand anything as he imagined.

"Huh!" Su Baiyi touched his nose, and had a sense of being caught doing something bad, coughed twice to cover it up, and said, "What did I lie to you, didn't you see that the young ladies of the big families in the Guide Mansion all walk like this?" ”

"People are young ladies, Chunyan is the young master's girl, and girls walk like this." Chunyan laughed, becoming more and more afraid of his master.

Su Baiyi naturally didn't mind, he was actually a modern person in his bones, and he would not try to trample on other people's personalities under normal circumstances, so after listening to Chunyan's words, his face sank, and he said very seriously: "Don't talk nonsense, although you are the girl of my Su family, but the girl of my Su family is simple, and the young ladies of their big families are not as good as you!" ”

Yu Mutong came out of the hall, looked at Su Baiyi and smiled slightly, and said, "I said that you didn't want to tell you about Li Qing that day, it turns out that Xianggong has other plans!" ”

Su Baiyi said: "Don't talk nonsense, master, I just treat her as a child!" As he spoke, he turned around and took Yu Mutong's hand and walked into the room.

Yu Mutong said: "What kind of perfume is yours, show me?" ”

Su Baiyi touched the sleeve, opened the lid of the perfume bottle, sprinkled a little on Yu Mutong's body, and an extremely rich fragrance wrapped around her body, closed her eyes and took a deep breath, as if she was in a sea of countless moon flowers.

"It smells so good!"

Yu Mutong opened his eyes, took a deep breath again, and raised his sleeves on his nose and sniffed before he was too happy: "Xianggong, this is more fragrant than flowers, with this thing, you don't need to light those incense incense in winter." ”

"yes!" Su Baiyi approached Yu Mutong with a smile: "Then how can you thank me?" ”

"Say it!" Yu Mutong shook the perfume in his hand, and didn't seem to care too much about Su Baiyi's words.

Su Baiyi leaned into her ear and said softly: "Then, the sheep's eye circle is up!" ”

"Ah......" Yu Mutong's face was flushed, and his body was so weak that he almost leaned into Su Baiyi's arms, at this moment, even if he heard the words "sheep's eye circle", he couldn't help but tremble, and the spring stream flooded somewhere where he didn't see the light of day: "You, it's necrotic!" ”

"Hahaha!" Su Baiyi laughed wildly.

Li Qing's voice suddenly came from outside, interrupting the charming atmosphere: "Master, Master Cheng of Cangzhou Mansion asks to see you!" ”

Cheng opened?

Su Baiyi grinned: This product really lives in Guide Mansion and won't leave! It's like a dog's nose Turin, and when he smells perfume, he runs over, but it's time to talk to him about railroad financing.
