Making some money for yourself is called not doing a good job? What kind of logic is this called. www.biquge.info Bai Qi admitted that he didn't want to care about the bad things in the court recently, and he didn't know how leisurely he was to stay at home all day, go to classes in the Tang Garden every day, occasionally go fishing, go to the kitchen to make a meal, or write a calligraphy, painting and painting, lie down when he is tired, and don't care about those bullshit etiquette, this is the life he wants.

If Li Shimin can make up for the deducted salary, and then settle the payment quickly on time, then it is good for everyone, it is really good!

Also, Li Zhi, don't look at your kid's eyes, oops, and put comic books so consciously into your clothes, hey, that's my original manuscript! I'm going to use it for pickling girls!

Bai Qi took down a comic book from the shelf, which was freshly baked from the printing house yesterday, and it still smelled of ink, and then chuckled and handed it to Xiao Li Zhi: "Child, come, I'll exchange this new book for that old book with you." ”

Li Zhi tilted his head, took the new book, compared it with the old book, and found that the content of the two books was the same, but the paper of the new book was new, and it looked much more comfortable, so he returned the original manuscript to Bai Qi very happily, and then thought about it with his little head sideways, his eyes lit up with a "ding", and stretched out his fat little hand: "Brother Bai, the young slave still needs three, this, no, four comic books, the young slave wants to take it back to Zhen'er and show them!" ”

Li Chengqian happily took the equally happy Li Zhi away, and before leaving, he also took away two boxes of osmanthus cakes made of white chess, saying that he wanted to go back to honor Li Shimin and his eldest grandson. Looking at the broken pastries that did not wipe the corners of Li Zhi's mouth, God knows if the two of them would eat half of the osmanthus cake first on the way.

Bai Qi and Li Tai walked to the brick kiln, and according to the workers, one of the workers accidentally entered the wrong material yesterday and burned some strange things, which will become very strong clods when solidified.

Bai Qi already had a certain speculation about this kind of clod of soil, and it happened that Li Tai came today, so he went to the brick kiln with him to have a look.

In the open space in front of the brick kiln, Bai Qi and Li Tai bent down to look at the irregular pile of gray clods on the ground. Li Tai broke it hard, and found that it could not be broken at all, so he called someone to hit it with a hammer, and only then did he break up these strange clods of earth and take a small piece to see.

Bai Qi walked to the other side, looked carefully at the gray particles that had been fired, and then said to the people in the brick kiln: "Master Zhang, do any of you remember what kind of material was imported and what was the proportion?" ”

Master Zhang, who was in charge of the brick kiln, was a forty or fifty-year-old man who came out, and he walked out and said, "Master Hou, we usually follow your instructions, and every time we feed the material, we also make a record, but this time because of the negligence of a worker, limestone and some strange black powder were added to it, and then this kind of thing came out." ”

Bai Qi took the strange black powder that the workers said, put it in his hand and looked at it carefully, then looked up and asked the brick kiln workers, "Where did this thing come from, do you know?" ”

An older worker replied, "Master Hou, I used to live in Shanxi, and many of these things are bare on the ground. ”

White nodded, and asked someone to take the fine sand, mix the gray particles with the fine sand, add a certain percentage of water to it, and then mix the three thoroughly, and make a long lumpy object, and after waiting for the air to dry, he tried the hardness, and finally nodded with satisfaction.

White called over the worker who had entered the wrong material, a young man in his twenties, whose hair on his forehead was a little scorched and covered in dust because he had worked in a brick kiln all day. Hearing Bai Qi call him, the young man came over with a sad face and nervousness.

Master Zhang kicked in the back and shouted: "Erniu, Master Hou called you, don't grind!" Then he turned his face and said with a smile Bai Qi said: "Master Hou, Erniu is not sensible, there is only one old mother at home, his mother was sick yesterday, it is estimated that he was a little distracted when doing things, next time I will definitely supervise it!" ”

Bai Qi shook his head with a smile and said, "You guys are too worried, I don't plan to punish Erniu, on the contrary, I want to reward him!" ”

The young man raised his head suddenly, his eyes were full of incredulity, and he asked in a low voice, "Master Hou, do you want to reward the boy?" But the kid obviously did something wrong! ”

"Many great inventions are often caused by some inadvertent mistake." Bai Qi smiled and said: "You made this cement with a small action unintentionally, and by the way, Hou Ye and I found traces of the coal mine, these two things are very important to my Datang." Say, "Should I reward you?" ”

"Reward indeed!" Li Tai finished studying the cement that white called it and walked up from behind.

Master Zhang and the other workers of the brick kiln showed happy smiles on their faces, and seeing Erniu standing in place in a daze, a little at a loss, Master Zhang stepped forward and patted him on the shoulder, and scolded: "What are you still doing in a daze, don't go up yet, thank you Master Hou!" ”

"Ahh Yes, yes, yes! Erniu originally thought that he was going to be expelled, but now when he heard that he would not be expelled, he would be rewarded, and the whole person was a little confused.

Bai Qi smiled and waved and said, signaling Master Zhang to help up Erniu, who was about to kneel, and then said to everyone in the brick kiln: "To be honest, Master Hou, I actually don't lack the money earned by the brick kiln, so you can make some new attempts appropriately under the premise of ensuring safety when you complete your weekday workload!" ”

"Master Zhang, you can arrange this matter in the future, make a record of the materials and something, and mention it to the housekeeper in the house if it is not enough!" Bai Qi said to Master Zhang, looking at the latter's expression of wanting to speak and stopping, Bai Qi smiled and said: "Ben Hou's original intention of opening this brick kiln is actually this, I hope you can make more things, instead of sticking to burning bricks." Would a person like Hou Ye be able to afford a few bricks? ”

Seeing the way White blinked his eyes, everyone present laughed.

Master Zhang also smiled and said, "Then I will be presumptuous old Zhang!" ”

Bai Qi and the workers laughed and talked about the development of the brick kiln for a while, people like Master Zhang who have been doing this for decades are veterans are insiders, and they are actually laymen, and many should listen to their opinions. For the development of the brick kiln, Bai Qi hoped to make something special at the beginning, but he didn't expect to make cement so quickly, although it was just a very simple cement, and the cement of later generations could not be compared at all, but at least it was also a kind of progress, and it was very useful for what he wanted to do.

On the way back, Li Tai, who was holding a small piece of cement in his hand, raised his head and asked Bai Qi: "Crazy, can this kind of thing be used to build a dam, is it the kind of water conservancy facility you showed me?" ”

Bai Qi shook his head: "It's not good, although it looks hard, you must not build a dam, it will collapse easily!" ”

"And what do you want to use it for?"

"Build roads, build tens of thousands of miles of roads, and connect the main towns of Datang together!"
