Chongzhen gently picked up a small piece of lime with his hand, scraped a little lime on it, and then put it in his hand and twisted it with his thumb and index finger to grind it finely. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info Chongzhen was pleasantly surprised to find that the fired lime is very delicate, the particles are very uniform, and there is no feeling of holding hands at all, which is a very thorough manifestation of limestone decomposition, and the degree of technology can fully meet the standard of producing cement. Chongzhen's heart is determined, and a smile is inadvertently shown on his face, a large part of Chongzhen's plan will be related to cement, whether the cement industry can flourish, related to the direction of the Ming economy and military, the original worries, after personal experience, gradually disappeared, and, in front of Chongzhen seems to emerge a prosperous scene, Chongzhen firmly believes that only one day will come soon.

"Zhongxian, this place you are looking for is really good, I am very satisfied with this lime factory, and the quality of the lime produced is very good. You should have all the other minerals, so let's go with me. Chongzhen did not hide his praise for Wei Zhongxian, he would not care about what was written in the history books, Wei Zhongxian was concentrating on doing things for himself at least at this moment, which was enough, and Wei Zhongxian was in place, no need to bother himself, Chongzhen believed that as long as this person was used well, it would only be beneficial to the Ming Dynasty.

"As long as the emperor is satisfied, this is what a slave should do." Wei Zhongxian was very satisfied when he saw Chongzhen, and his mood became happy, and he did not waste his thoughts in vain. To be honest, this is my first time here, and everything here is very attractive to me. Although in Wei Zhongxian's mind, such a vulgar job as burning lime is very dirty and far away from his life, Wei Zhongxian doesn't mind messing around with Chongzhen, as long as Chongzhen has fun.

In Wei Zhongxian's subconscious, the trip to the Ministry of Industry here was just Chongzhen's momentary curiosity, and it was a manifestation of playfulness. I didn't think about anything else at all. Therefore, Wei Zhongxian's trip was quite relaxed, without the slightest psychological pressure.

Then, Wei Zhongxian turned his head to Yang Shan on the side and said, "Lord Yang, where are the minerals sent by my father-in-law before, hurry up and take the emperor to take a look." ”

"Yes, father-in-law, the lower officials will arrange it." Yang Shan was not very surprised at this time, he originally thought that it was just some relative of Gonggong Wei who needed to use these minerals to refine something, but he never thought that this was the emperor's name to use, it seems that the emperor is not here to play today.

Although Yang Shan thought about the connection of this matter in his head, he did not hesitate at all, and immediately said to Chongzhen: "Your Majesty, please come here." ”

Everyone walked for a distance of about 500 meters and came to a courtyard, which looked very ordinary, and the entire wall was made of green bricks. In the Ming Dynasty, green bricks have been widely used, but the civil green bricks are much simpler than the urban green bricks. The gate of this compound is wide, there is no threshold, and the doors are the two doors that are commonly used, which are tightly locked at this time.

Since Yang Shan knew that Wei Zhongxian was coming, he expected to come here, so he had already ordered someone to bring the key. So when everyone came to the door, Yang Shan had already stepped forward quickly and opened the door.

Chongzhen and the others stepped through the door, and their eyes suddenly widened. This courtyard is not an ordinary dwelling, but a lime kiln. The courtyard is large, and the lime kiln is located in the southeast corner of the courtyard, and on one side of the lime kiln, various minerals are piled up. These minerals are not placed in the open air, and above the minerals, there is a canopy to protect them from rain and sun, and the roof of the canopy is made of woven straw.

Chongzhen saw at a glance the mineral raw materials he wanted, limestone, clay, iron ore powder, and gypsum. Chongzhen looked at all this so kindly, as if he had returned to the original world. Although the original world is very bland, but at least there is no need to sleep as difficult as now, Chongzhen thinks of the upcoming rebellion in the northwest and the Houjin regime in the north, Chongzhen's heart is not stable, always like a pins and needles, like a fish in the throat.

Chongzhen pointed to the cave and said to Yang Shan with a calm face: "Lord Yang, is this cave also burning lime?" ”
