Chapter 43 Cement

"Whatever you want, just say. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info "Jia Yu saw that Jia Lian agreed to contribute, so he was more happy.

Jia Lian then said: "That's the case, my son has recently tossed a new thing outside the city, which is suitable for the construction of houses and the like, so I dare to please, the two lords will hand over the responsibility of building the provincial villa to the son, of course, whether it is the property or the pattern of the construction, it is necessary to ask the two lords to supervise, and the son guarantees that if he uses that new thing to build, he will not be weaker than other provincial villas." ”

"Oh, you have something new coming out, what is the purpose of it? Is there anything you can do to help the Father? Jia Yu suddenly became interested in the new things in Jia Lian's mouth.

Jia Lian already had a case, and replied: "The thing made this time is called 'cement', which is used for house construction and all construction, as for its magic and let the son sell it first, the two masters will be able to see it with their own eyes in the future, and it is better than the son's empty words; ”

"You rebel, you talk to your Lao Tzu so unclearly, you hide it, and I'm afraid that your Lao Tzu will swallow your good things!" Jia Yu didn't get what he wanted, so he immediately put on the majesty of Lao Tzu and scolded.

Jia Lian didn't contradict it, just stood aside and suffered.

Jia Zheng doesn't look good when he looks at his eldest brother scolding like this, but even if he looks at Jia Lian again, although he doesn't say a word, anyone can see the toughness in his temperament.

So he said to Jia Yu: "Brother is angry for the time being, Lian'er is my sister-in-law of Jiafu, so naturally doing things is also for my Jiafu, maybe there is really something inconvenient, why do you bother to ask, from the few things he did before, it seems that Lian'er can still be on his own now." ”

Jia Yu listened to it and said: "Even if he is capable, I am also his son." scolded him for fear of turning against him. That being said, in the end, I sat down and stopped scolding.

Then Jia Zheng said to Jia Lian: "Since you are so confident in the cement, and I also have a lot of things to do with your master, and I don't have the energy to do everything myself, and now your eldest brother Zhen is gone, and only you and Brother Rong are worthy of the big responsibility in our two mansions, so this time to build a provincial villa, naturally it is also necessary for the two of you to contribute more." ”

Hearing this, Jia Rong, who was generally furnished next to her, hurriedly said: "Back to the two masters, although the grandson is the same age as the second uncle Lian, he has no experience in doing things, so this time to build the provincial villa, the grandson is naturally all based on the second uncle Lian, and he does not dare to slack off after obeying the instructions of the second uncle." ”

Jia Yu and Jia Zheng are all people from Rongguo Mansion, seeing that Jia Rong, who is now in charge of Ning Guofu, is so obedient, and they are also very satisfied with his knowledge, how do they know that Jia Rong is really afraid of Jia Lian now, so as long as Jia Lian is there, Jia Rong has already made up her mind to completely focus on Jia Lian.

The four of them went on to talk about some more details, and after a general discussion, everyone left.

Early the next morning, Jia Lian got up, saw Jia pardon Jia Zheng, contracted Jia Rong to be anxious about some old stewards, etc., and several world friends and ministers, and everyone went to Ningguo's mansion together.

Then he began to inspect the old land of the two prefectures, and if it was not enough, he had to collect it in advance, and invited the builders to paint the provincial palace, and at the same time inspected the people.

After the preliminary work of building the provincial villa was arranged, Jia Lian told Jia Rong to keep an eye on it, and then he went out of the city to his cement factory.

At this time, the cement factory outside the city was also roughly built and manufactured according to Jia Lian's requirements, and various raw ore materials were also fully prepared, waiting for Jia Lian to start experimenting with firing cement.

The ordinary cement firing process is actually very simple, which is mixed by limestone, clay and iron ore powder in proportion, and the mixture at this time is called raw meal. Then calcination is carried out, the general temperature is about 1450 degrees, and the product after calcination is called clinker. Then the clinker and gypsum are ground together and mixed in proportion, and the final result is cement.

Jia Lian experimented several times before and after, recorded the experimental process and formula of each experiment in detail, and compared the final experiments with the finished products obtained several times.

In the end, Jia Lian chose the one he thought was the best, and then ordered people to fire it in large quantities with the best recipe and process.

Looking at the concrete cubes poured by the experiment a few days ago, Jia Lian personally raised the sledgehammer and smashed it a few times, after the 'bang' sound, Jia Lian's arms were numb, but the concrete cubes made of cement only dropped a few grains, and the rest were not damaged at all.

In this way, although Jia Lian can't measure what grade the cement he fired has reached, as long as it is not used for special operations, it is more than enough to build ordinary buildings, and in this era, no one will come to test whether his cement is up to standard.

So Jia Lian increased his investment, ordered the workers to sign a contract, and then divided into three shifts to work in a cycle, firing the maximum amount of cement around the clock.

At the same time, Jia Lian also arranged strong slaves to guard all the large and small gates of the cement factory day and night; He also ordered Ni Er, and invited more gangsters to wander around the perimeter of the cement factory to prevent any outsiders from entering.

After firing the cement, Jia Lian was relieved and asked Jia Yun to continue to carefully supervise and manage, and then returned to Rongguo Mansion.

Since then, Jia Lian has contacted craftsmen from all walks of life to gather, gold, silver, copper, tin, and civil engineering, bricks and tiles, and carry them endlessly.

At the same time, the craftsman was ordered to tear down the walls and pavilions of the Ningfu Huifangyuan and enter the east courtyard of the Rongfu directly.

All the houses in the east of Rongfu have been demolished, and Ning Rong's second house on that day, although there is a small alley that cannot be opened, but this alley is also private land, not an official road, so it can be subordinated; A few other private lands were also bought.

After that, Jia Lian found an old Ming Gong Shanzi Ye, planned the drawings, and planned to build them one by one.

This Shanziye is the designer of the Grand View Garden in the original book, and Jia Lian also managed to invite him this time, and he also wanted to restore the style and artistic conception of the Grand View Garden in the original book to the greatest extent.

Because of the words first, Jia Yu only cares about the allocation of silver, and he also comes to watch one or two because of his interest; Jia Zhengben is not accustomed to mundane affairs, and rarely participates, so some things are only managed by Jia Lian, and Jia Rong, Lai Da, Lai Sheng, Lin Zhixiao, Wu Xindeng, Zhan Guang, Cheng Rixing and several others help.

In addition, where the mountain is dug into the pond, the building is erected, the bamboo is planted, the scenery is planted, and there are mountains and fields to design the system.

Therefore, although Jia Lian was in charge of such a large project for the first time, he was still able to deal with it calmly, and Jia's mother and Jia pardoned Jia Zheng, and gradually gave power to Jia Lian with peace of mind.
