If it was really him, then Anhe met an amazing guy today. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

"Listening to Director Li's accent, it seems that he is not from Chang'an, and he came to Chang'an to work in Chang'an without knowing why?"

An He wasn't sure, so he could only test it first.

"General Qi An Zhonglang, the ancestral home of the lower official is Raoyang County. After moving to Yongtai, Zhenguan came to Chang'an after eight years of recommendation. ”

Li Yifu still looked like a smile, and replied honestly.

An He was shocked in his heart, he didn't know where Li Yifu was from, but he knew that Li Yifu did come to Chang'an in the eighth year of Zhenguan, and he served as a lot of low-level petty officials at the beginning, and now the name and time are right, it seems that he is the person who is known as one of the two major thugs under Wu Zetian in history.

"General An Zhonglang, I still have some things to deal with over there, you can get acquainted with Director Li and them, and then let Director Li take you to see the newly built cement workshop outside the city, all the craftsmen assigned are there."

Duan Lun saw that he didn't have anything to do with himself, so he got up and said goodbye, after all, he didn't have time to accompany An He all the time.

An He hurriedly stood up and sent Duan Lun out, and of course Li Yifu and the others followed. Except for Li Yifu, the head of the Nine Grades, everyone else is a small official without any grade, and An He doesn't need to know him, just tell Li Yifu directly if there is anything.

Although he was shocked by Li Yifu, a historical celebrity, An He didn't think much about it, he still had to use it, and the first thing he did was to order Li Yifu to make a plaque of 'Cement Supervision Institute', and then hang it at the door of the courtyard, which is the official name of his cement inspector.

Then An He talked to everyone again, and it was noon at this time, so An He invited guests, and everyone went to the restaurant opened by Wang Yusheng for a big meal. In the afternoon, led by Li Yifu, Anhe went out of the city again to the place set aside by the Ministry of Industry as a cement workshop.

On the way, after Li Yifu's introduction, An He learned that this new workshop was originally a lime workshop of the Ministry of Industry, and Duan Lun heard that An He was in charge of the lime workshop to refine cement. Therefore, in order to facilitate Anhe, this large-scale lime workshop was set out, which can be regarded as providing some convenience for Anhe. This made An He can't help but sigh, there are still people in the DPRK who are good officials!

The new workshop is located in the northwest corner outside Chang'an City. Next to Weishui, the workshop occupies a very large area, according to Li Yifu, it can accommodate up to 1,000 people to work together, after all, the Ministry of Industry sometimes has to do some very large-scale projects. Lime is in high demand, and there are several lime mills of this magnitude in other parts of the country.

As soon as An He entered the door of the new workshop, he saw Bai Qingzheng, who was wearing an eight-grade official uniform, directing the craftsmen to renovate the cement kiln, although the lime kiln could also burn cement, but after the research and improvement of the craftsmen who would be the supervisors of Bai Qing, a new cement kiln was invented, which can improve the calcination efficiency of cement.

"General An Zhonglang, you can come, the lime workshop of this Ministry of Industry is different. There are even large water wheels dedicated to crushing. ”

Bai Qing saw that An He was coming, and hurriedly ran over and said very excitedly. Because of his meritorious work in assisting Anhe in firing cement, Bai Qing, a minor official of the ninth grade, was finally promoted to one level, and now he is the signing order of the eighth grade, but he was transferred from the general as a supervisor to serve under Anhe.

"Oh, there's a waterwheel? Take me to see it! ”

An He was also very excited when he heard this, the ingredients of cement had to be crushed before calcination, but because the conditions were not enough when he was going to be imprisoned, he had been crushed by manpower. The efficiency is very low, so An He also discussed this issue with Bai Qing, Bai Qing mentioned that some large lime workshops use water power to crush limestone, but unfortunately An He has never seen it. I didn't expect the new workshop to be here.

"Yes, An Zhonglang will invite An to come with An He!"

Bai Qing agreed, hurriedly turned around and left, he was too excited, he didn't even notice that there was still a person standing next to An He.

"Bai Qing, this is Li Yifu, the director of the Ministry of Industry. In the future, you will have many aspects to work together, so let's get to know each other! ”

However, An He did not forget to introduce Li Yifu to Bai Qing, and Bai Qing was in charge of the internal operation of the new workshop, while Li Yifu assisted An and managed the cement supervision institute.

"Uh~, Director Li is really young and promising, I was so excited just now, I neglected Director Li a little, and I hope you don't blame it."

Bai Qing was stunned when he saw Li Yifu, and hurriedly saluted. Don't look at his grade is one level higher than Li Yifu, but he is a craftsman, and it would have been very difficult to be promoted, otherwise he would not have been a nine-rank petty official for almost a lifetime, and even if he was promoted, there was very little room for improvement, and it was already considered a top day to be promoted to six or seven grades. But Li Yifu is different, the head of the Ministry of Industry is a serious scholar, although it is only nine products now, but as long as the work is done effectively, there are nobles in the court to help, and it is not impossible to worship the prime minister in the future.

"Hehe, Bai Cheng is too polite, you are dedicated to the public, you are a model for my generation to learn, and the younger generation has just come into contact with this cement thing, and you will have to learn more from your predecessors in the future."

Li Yifu still looked like he was smiling, and the words he said were still so beautiful.

Where did Bai Qing receive such compliments, and immediately regarded Li Yifu as his own nephew, and knew everything about his questioning. An He also moved in his heart, it seems that there is no simple person who can leave a mark in history, not to mention the reputation of Li Yifu in history, but from his current point of view, this guy is definitely a rare talent.

After turning a few rows of lime kilns, Anhe saw a row of tall waterwheels standing by the Weishui River, slowly rotating under the impact of the water, and the sound of heavy objects hitting "Woo Woo Woo~" kept coming from under the waterwheel.

An and walked quickly to the bottom of the waterwheel, the scene in front of him made him amazed, only to see each waterwheel through a simple machinery, driving five metal hammers, when the hammer reaches the highest point, it will fall suddenly, using its own weight to smash the material in the groove below, there are two craftsmen standing on both sides of the groove, one is responsible for the stir-fry of the material in the groove, so that the hammer will smash the material more evenly, and the other is responsible for shoveling the smashed material to the trolley next to it, when the trolley is full, there is a special force to push to the front to mix and calcin. Although the scene was full of dust, the craftsmen seemed to have a clear and orderly division of labor.

Although he didn't know An He, he knew Bai Qing and Bai Qing's boss, so he worked very hard to introduce the working principle and workflow of the waterwheel to them.

An He is also a person who has received a general education in later generations, and his theoretical knowledge is stronger than anyone else, so after looking at it for a while, he found that the application of mechanical principles in some places is not very reasonable, but unfortunately there is no time to improve it now, so he can only wait for later.

After visiting the waterwheel, An He, under the leadership of Bai Qing, probably looked at the entire workshop, most of them were very satisfied, and Bai Qing was also rectifying some unsatisfactory places, so he didn't need to worry about it at all.

When leaving, An He instructed Bai Qing to prepare the previous cement stockpile, and try to speed up the production of cement, he will use it tomorrow, Bai Qing promised not to make a mistake at the moment, and An He left with Li Yifu. However, before he arrived at his cement supervision institute, An He sent Li Yifu to the Ministry of Industry and asked him to ask a group of road builders to come back, which will be done today, and Li Yifu was also ordered to do it.
