Chapter 97

After Song Jinggong found the two brothers with unique skills, he went to the palace to find someone to cooperate with the two brothers to catch the eagle, and on the other hand, he had to face the fake plan of the Yellow River boat traveler to make arrangements.

Compared with Song Jinggong's busyness, Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan are much easier here in Luzhou, the infrastructure construction is still going on, but it has little to do with the two of them, the plans that should be done have been done, and the people can continue to do another after completing one item.

There is no monetary return on this kind of investment, Zhang Xiaobao spent money mainly on some things on the mountain, as well as specialties in the sea to recover, the cycle will be longer, fortunately, other transactions have been making money, this goods Zhang Xiaobao is still pressing, and the longer the pressure, the more things are collected from other places, and the more money will be made at that time.

The construction of the lighthouse has also begun, using a big ship to pull some wood, and you can build it directly on the reef at sea, the quality will be worse, and at the same time, it is easy to have an accident when encountering strong winds, but you can only do this in the early stage, first get the nearby ones right, and then you can consider replacing them with stones.

After the fishermen learned about this lighthouse, they all seemed very excited, especially the fleet that went out to fish for shrimp at night, and they were already waiting for the big harvest.

Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan were experimenting in a separate courtyard at this time, one person wore a large mask, and his body was also tightly blocked, and there was a large pile of lime in the yard, and a large pile of clay, and some other things that the locals had found, and there was a mess of everything.

There are many things that Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan don't know what they are doing, and some mud has been dug up on the bottom of the sea, which is not deep-sea, or the deepest place that the locals can dive into, and there are some volcanic ash.

Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan each took a notebook, and every time they made a mixture of a ratio, they remembered that Zhang Xiaobao had never done such a job, but he had heard that two raw materials could burn out cement.

Seeing that Wang Juan was seriously comparing the same there, after adjusting the proportions in his hand, he pulled Wang Juan aside and asked, "Did you just get it in the furnace and burn it?" ”

"Fraudsters have something they don't know how to do?" Wang Juan took off his mask, spat on it, nodded and said.

"The main reason why I didn't lie about this before, what kind of stove do you use to burn?" Zhang Xiaobao really didn't know about this, looking at those things with good proportions, he always felt that burning them like this would not have any effect.

"Of course it can't be burned like this, there is no such technology, stir it with water, put it in the lime kiln, and then take it out to make foam after burning, and see which one is better, and still do it according to which proportion, but the dust is too powerful, and the impact on the body of the person who works is too great.

But there is no other way, without this cement, you can't repair good things, those lighthouses all expect to be built with big stones, then there will be a time to wait, I estimate that it should be successful, and do not need any cement for various special purposes, and the number can not be controlled, that is, it is better to be able to produce cement than to use stones now. ”

Wang Juan said yes, but there is no bottom in his heart, the technology of this thing is there, it looks relatively simple, and when it is really done, there will definitely be failures, fortunately, the raw materials here can be obtained, and it is good to fail a few times, it is one thing to know, and it is another thing to do it.

It's like a diamond, you know it's made of carbon, but if you give you a ton of graphite, you won't be able to make a diamond, unless you have that special equipment.

Fortunately, the power of the people is infinite, and the glass can be burned so well, not to mention a cement, and the glass can also be made in the future, so we must believe in the wisdom of the people.

Zhang Xiaobao is not good at this matter, he can only listen to Wang Juan, seeing what Wang Juan said, he also nodded and said: "That's good, it turned out to be wet, it's okay, don't be afraid of firewood, there is a lot of firewood here, I remember that there should be a coal mine here, let people look for it, see if they can find it, it is best to be an open-pit mine." ”

"Well, find, this is not in a hurry, there is a lot of firewood, it can't be burned at all, it is burned here, and the trees over there will grow again, the population is small, and the resources are large, so there is such a benefit, if it is not directly cut down trees to open up the wasteland, no matter how the population is burned, the trees will only grow more and more, and will not decrease."

If you want people not to destroy forests, then you can only increase the yield of grain per mu, otherwise, people here will always feel that there is not enough food, and they will expand the land, and the land here can still be planted in rotation, and they can also recuperate, not to mention this, where do you say the cement plant should be built? How to prevent dust from harming the human body? ”

Wang Juan talked about the land as he spoke, and turned back to ask about the construction of the factory.

Zhang Xiaobao knows that the scale of this cement plant will not be too large, as long as it meets the current needs, it is impossible to transport it to the capital to sell, so it is better to find a place with the same resources over there to build a factory, if it is not very much in need of cement, Zhang Xiaobao really doesn't want to let Wang Juan get it out now.

The people here don't seem to care about the damage of some dust, especially the people who burn the kiln, many of the sick people have already accepted their fate, even if they know that it is not good for their health, they have to do it, and there are no protective measures.

After thinking about it, he said: "It's not good to be too close to the sea, the humidity is big, and the cement burned out is not ready to be used, it will become a hard bump, then go to the mountain to find a place, or a swamp, fill in the swamp, and there are many kinds of flowers and trees around, don't ask for good trees, as long as they grow fast."

In terms of protection, that is, the body is tightly packed, wear a mask, and a hat that can be put on the head, the people who work must be rotated, and people cannot work in such an environment continuously, and there are more fruits, more fungus, and these are the things that can be done, and the conditions are subject to ***. ”

Speaking of these protections, Zhang Xiaobao felt a little helpless, he knew that even if it was such protection, it still had a great impact on the human body, but he still wanted cement, so he naturally wanted to do it.

Wang Juan was also more resistant to this method of work, pondered for a while and said: "Let's do this first, and when the glass is burned, we will make a transparent mirror for them, so that it can also be used for diving.

Let them do it first, let's think about gas masks, this doesn't need to be too good, just put some charcoal particles in it, I don't want to see someone get an occupational disease because of burning cement, that's murder, even if the cost is larger, it's worth it, you say.

In fact, I think we have done well enough, there are those small cement factories, in order to reduce costs, obviously have the conditions to protect the workers, but they do not use it at all, not to mention the low wages of the workers, they also know that there is a very big harm to the body, and they have to do it. ”

When Wang Juan said this, he sighed at the same time as Zhang Xiaobao, fortunately, the two of them don't have to care about the cost here, as long as they can achieve their goals.

"Come on, come in." Zhang Xiaobao saw that Wang Juan had already decided, and shouted outside, and immediately someone from the inner courtyard came in and waited for orders.

"Memorize the labels of these things, and then mix them with water, and send them to the lime kiln to burn, don't get confused, and remember that this matter must be kept secret, and you are arranged to do it, I don't want to hear such a thing from the mouth of the second person."

Zhang Xiaobao pointed to the things he and Wang Juan had made, and instructed the people in the inner courtyard.

"Don't worry, little boy and little lady, I will never say it to the second person, even the people in the family, keep your mouth shut when you sleep at night, and don't drink." The person in the inner courtyard assured that he knew that the little boy and the little lady had made another magical thing, and the work of secrecy must be done well.

"What's the gag, go get it, remember to come and tell us when it's burned." As soon as Zhang Xiaobao heard it, he knew that the person in the inner courtyard deliberately said this, said a word to the person in the inner courtyard with a smile, and hurriedly pulled Wang Juan to take a bath, only wearing a mask, which could not prevent the dust from getting on his body at all.

Wang Juan also attaches great importance to this secret matter, cement can be regarded as a strategic material at this time, the speed of building the city wall is fast, and it is strong, if it is really given by people from other countries, maybe they dare to use this thing to start a war.

There is also the glass to be burned in the future, which also belongs to strategic materials and economic wars, as soon as he thought of this, Wang Juan began to worry, and said to Zhang Xiaobao: "Xiaobao, what are you going to do with this cement and glass in the future?" ”

"How? Oh, you mean the relationship of interest, right? This is actually easy to do, whoever has the ability to come, then let whoever comes in, if you don't have the ability, you don't have to be afraid of him, the technology is that nothing can be passed on, it's a big deal to let them invest, and use this reason to give them money.

We will do the counter-accounting, I will make some fake accounts, deceive them, and they will not be able to find out, as long as the money given to them makes them feel satisfied, and it will be said before, the price of things will be lower and lower, so that they have a psychological preparation. ”

Zhang Xiaobao is least worried about this matter, the monopoly industry is good, but the relationship between interests must be understood, especially in this kind of place where power is put on the surface.

When Wang Juan heard Zhang Xiaobao say this, she also temporarily relieved her heart, she felt that Zhang Xiaobao's ability in this regard could still be trusted.

"Then if we want to take the big head, then we can say that we are rich and rival the country."

"No, no, no, the big head must not be given to us, I am going to divide the profits generated by this thing into ten shares, we will take three shares, and give two shares to those who have the ability to meddle, when I say it, I will give them half, and the other five shares will be given to the emperor, who will make the family the emperor, can you not give it to him?"

Zhang Xiaobao just thinks that this is not good, if he does something out of the ordinary, he must first give the emperor enough benefits, he and Wang Juan can not care about Li Longji, but they can't care about his position, unless they are ready to rebel, and then become the emperor themselves, but neither of them have this idea, they are too tired.

Really let the two of you manage a country, it's easy to get tired and die in that position, after all, you know a lot of things, you will be more diligent in doing it, just look at the leaders of those countries, things are arranged all day, and there are some things that suddenly appear, busy and busy, there is nothing at all.

It's nothing more than being able to make your family grow, but it's too much to pay, and neither of you plans to do this, as for the family, you can get enough food from farming, you can get money by doing business, and then train some officials, just let the trained people be busy.

Wang Juan can also understand Zhang Xiaobao's grievances in the face of power, but there is no way to do it, even if he wants to rebel, he has to wait for the opportunity, not to mention that after every rebellion, the damage to the country is very great, war, let the internal ones be less, it is still the Kaiyuan period, wait for Li Longji to get old, and then think of some way to prevent him from making the same mistake.

At the thought of war, Wang Juan shuddered and said to Zhang Xiaobao: "I estimate that history will be changed. ”

"Of course, since we came to this world, history has been changing, which is why so many people are afraid of cloning people like Napoleon and Hitler, sometimes history makes people, but history is written by people, why don't we change, have the ability to change, then we must reflect our own value and make the motherland stronger."

Zhang Xiaobao had been prepared for this for a long time, and he didn't feel abrupt at all, it was so natural to say.

Wang Juan shook his head, "I'm not talking about the slow improvement of the people's lives, the foundation of the country is getting better and better, what I'm talking about is that once he gets this cement out, and he also makes a lot of money with glass, and gives the money to Li Longji, he will definitely start a war with foreign countries."

Now in fact, it is fighting again, the friction on the border has never been broken, when he was in Sanshui County, there were people from Tubo who immediately sent people to make trouble after losing the battle, and now he is not fighting, because the national strength is not fully supported, and at the same time, those prime ministers are suppressing, and when he feels that there is too much money, do you say he can not fight? ”

"Oh, this? Indeed, there is a lot of money, let alone him, you change it to any place, they have to expand externally, but it can't be said that in order to prevent foreign aggression, he has no money, there is no real peace in this world, if you are weak, people will beat you, rather than waiting to be beaten, it is better to take the initiative.

In order to be able to promote the development of the entire human society, only through war can science and technology be improved faster, then in the same way, the productive forces will come up, and I have decided to be a great person who promotes the development of mankind. ”

Zhang Xiaobao made a sacred look, Wang Juan sneered, patted Zhang Xiaobao and said: "Don't talk about how great you are, what promotes the development of mankind, you just say that you have a strong nationalist ideology, rest assured, even if you don't put yourself in such a high position, I will not oppose you."

I'm the same as you, as long as you don't harm the people of your own country, when other places have not become the people of the Tang Dynasty, then you can only conquer, and take advantage of the weaker strength of other places now, if you don't plunder the resources, I am absolutely sorry for myself.

If you want peace, then you should be involved, otherwise, then there will only be war, unless there is a certain period when the national strength of each other has reached a relative balance, that is when the form of war changes, and when the fist is not hard enough, someone will reason with you. ”

"Yes, yes, that's what I think, the peace between the wolf and the lion is relative to force, and the rabbit and the lion will never be qualified to say anything about non-aggression."

Zhang Xiaobao was relieved to see Wang Juan holding himself, he was really afraid that Wang Juan would suddenly tell him that if he wanted world peace, the burden would be too heavy, and his immature shoulders could not bear it.

While the two of them were talking, they had already arrived at the swimming pool here, which was actually a large bath, and the water was a little cold, but fortunately it did not reach the point of freezing, and the two of them were able to adapt.

With the sound of two successively, Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan jumped into the water, Wang Juan had a swimsuit made of fish skin this time, Zhang Xiaobao was still naked, and he made a bottom in the water, and when he came out, the ash on his body was almost gone.

"The sun, the sand, the waves, the cactus, and an old captain, Taiwan, oh, what's it called now? Liuqiu, yes, that's what it's called, what else is Penghu Bay, even if I've been there a few times, but it still feels so dreamy, who is there now? There must be a part of this past, right? The rest are the locals. ”

Zhang Xiaobao lay in the water, looked at the blue sky, and said with emotion there.

"Taiwan is far away from us, and Fujian is next to us, you don't want to fight Taiwan, right?" Wang Juan didn't know why Zhang Xiaobao mentioned Taiwan, did he want to attack?

"What kind of Taiwan to fight, and what can be done if it is defeated? As long as the strength is not enough, no matter what kind of generals are arranged in that place, it is easy to divide the land and rule in the end, if you don't fight, you just mention it casually, you can't manage it effectively, and it is useless to fight down how much territory you have, and in the end, it is the people here who divide it, so why bother.

Zheng He went to the West, didn't he say that it was because the emperor's person named Zhu was afraid that he would never return? There is another reason, saying that it costs the country's money, but I always feel that this reason is a bit unreliable, didn't Zheng He take things back, it is said that some good wood used to press the ship is very valuable. ”

Zhang Xiaobao is not a child, he doesn't understand anything, it is impossible to fight this and that at every turn, if he wants to fight, others will fight, he will take advantage of it, or add fuel to the fire behind his back.

When the two of them were chatting and relaxing here, a person from the inner courtyard hurriedly ran in outside, saw that the two people were in the water, came directly to the side, and reported to Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan: "Report, I just got the news, it came from the Guangzhou Mansion, saying that the emperor in the capital pressed down some excerpts to impeach the master, and the person who impeached him was Ning Thorn Shi of Qinzhou.

It is said that Ning Tingshi put the responsibility for the two disasters and the disasters in the surrounding state capitals on the master, saying that the master is an unlucky person, and since the master arrived here, various disasters have begun to occur, so that the emperor will send the master to a farther place to become an official. ”

When the visitor had finished speaking, he stood there and waited.

"Okay, got it, let's get busy." Zhang Xiaobao blinked his eyes and said to the people in the inner courtyard, and his body sank directly, and only floated up after a while.

Said to Wang Juan: "Ning Thorn History? He is shameless, he dares to impeach my father, I really hope that he can succeed in impeachment, where can it be farther away? Over there on Hainan Island? Or is it the southern part of Jiannan Road next to Nanzhao, or the western part of Lingnan Road? It's better to go there in the sea, next to Vietnam.

The farther away from the capital, the better, if you get to Liuqiu, it will be more convenient, in fact, what I hope is to go to Hainan Island, Yazhou, where the development is more favorable than in this place, but unfortunately, Li Longji is still counting on my father to help build Luzhou.

It's impossible to get my father to such a remote place, I even suspect that Li Longji is afraid of my father, or if the two of us are in danger somewhere else, then his loss will be great, what is the name of Ning Tingshi, Ning Zhongze, yes, it's this broken name, where is my name good.

Toss, let him toss hard, and when he tosses almost, it should be unlucky, when those individuals in the court are stupid, he can listen to what he says? In this way, the typhoon blew Qinzhou, they didn't make any preparations, so fast, just after the pass, his fold arrived at the place, and the news came back.

Li Longji is clearly deliberate, let us know that he is good to our family, well, we understand, will build Luzhou well, even if he doesn't help, Luzhou will be built into the most prosperous big city, since it is a disaster, then our people must have played a role.

I have to arrange it, isn't he Ning Zhong making trouble? Who wouldn't, I'll make trouble for him once to let him know that we're not the kind of people who don't resist when we are bullied, okay, that's it. ”

Zhang Xiaobao muttered for a while, and shouted outside, "Someone's coming." ”

"Go and tell my father immediately, let me prepare some food here, and then find the people of Qinzhou, transport the grain to Qinzhou, and give it to those people who have been affected by the disaster, and tell them that they can come here to live, and they will arrange houses and other things here, and they will also be asked to do a lot of work, and agree to let them join the various chambers of commerce after half a year."

Zhang Xiaobao gave an order to the people who came in the inner courtyard, and the people who came immediately told Zhang Zhong about this matter as quickly as possible.

Waiting for the people to leave, Zhang Xiaobao put his arm on the back of his head, looked at the sky and said, "I think he Ningzhong has no people, how can he protect the interests of the family." ”
