Cement, after Li Chen entered Datang and stabilized his life, he wanted to get something, and it was finally completed. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 Of course, this is not something he has done, but he has a part to do. At the beginning, he spent a lot of money, and he didn't get it done.

However, he told Pingdaoren about the failure of his research at the beginning, and Pingdaoren and the group of people who were recruited into the palace by him, ostensibly to make alchemy and obtain Taoist priests, worked together to make this thing.

'This thing, as long as it mixes with water, turns into mud and can be made into any shape you want. When it dries, it becomes hard and hard like a stone. ''Seems dangerous.'' Ayi took the pinch of powder to his eyes and looked at it carefully. Then Ah Zheng snatched it up and looked at it curiously.

When it gets wet, wash it with water right away. Even if you don't deal with it, this thing is dry and hard, and it is not difficult to peel it off, and it just takes a little effort. ’

The mass production plan of cement has been put on the agenda. It just so happened that Suleiman entered Beijing, and he simply handed over the matter to him, so he almost didn't exhaust Suleiman to death.

Fortunately, he has been in business for many years, and there are many people who do things for him, and Li Chen sent him a few assistants, who he has educated his children well, so that Suleiman can recover from one incident after another.

cement, he has already thought of a use. I'm not afraid that it's too much, but I'm afraid it's not enough. Paving? To consider. He doesn't like concrete roads. Not quite right.

Cement paving, which is easily exposed to heat and then cracks. If the car goes too much, it will be uneven by the wheels over time, and then it is easy to get dusty. Many industrial roads in the mountains in Taiwan are paved with cement, and the advantage is that there are trees on the mountain, and the cement roads are relatively intolerant of cracking due to heat. However, it is very slippery..., Li Chen has walked a lot, and the cement road is particularly slippery after raining...

It was very dangerous to ride two wheels, and one of them fell into the ravine if he didn't control it properly. In particular, if there is moss on the road, it will be even worse. The asphalt road is fine, it will not be slippery, and the cement road, even if it is an ordinary day, there is long moss, you have to be careful.

However, use cement as a stone road, so as not to use it. In this day and age, where to get any asphalt or asphalt. On flat ground, don't pave the entire road surface, first make the cement into a cement version, pave the road one by one, which one is broken, just replace that, it is more economical.

'You first level the ground, then mix the cement and spread it on the ground. When it dries up, the seawater is brought in, and it is brought into the same pool over and over again. In this way, salt can be produced. ’

Cement is used for other purposes, paving roads, but it is the last choice, and construction is also secondary. He has decided on the maximum use of cement. It is only a small attempt to produce salt. He will also use it to pave the court, and since people in this era are used to oiling the ground, cement should also work.

Although cement is not difficult to use, he decided to try it before using it on a large scale. The cement is tuned out, but how hard it is and how durable it is has to be tried. How much thickness, how much strength, and how long can it last?

These are yet to be tested. Paving the road with cement, none of this matters. But when it comes to construction, he has to test it well, and he doesn't want to get a building out of it at a high price, and cracks will appear in less than two years.

I told the two of them to go to the beach, and let the two of them go to the sea salt production area, and then test whether this method is feasible. Li Chen picked up a piece of paper, picked up a pen and wrote down their job mist, Li Chen gave them the job of Yantie Mansion to make it easier for them to act.

Li Chen picked up the brush, on a piece of jute paper, carefully written, after writing, nodded with satisfaction, after several years of training, he felt that the brush writing was much better.

In this way, a holy decree is written? Sorry, no. First of all, this piece of paper is not called a holy decree, it is called an edict. Then, the paper should be copied by the secretary of the Ministry of Chinese Books, and the original should be kept as a basis for future verification.

As for the copy, the official who first copied it should sign it, and then send it to the province of Menxia, and after the province signed it, it was directly sent to the province of Shangshu for execution. In this way it is a complete will, or to be right, a complete edict. If you don't go through this procedure, Li Chen writes it directly, and then issues it, and there is a kind of official seal, there is a name called the oblique seal official, and the will is also called the middle will.

It is not glorious to be an official in this way. Ordinary serious officials usually do not accept it, and they will look down on such a person who has been made an official.

This kind of edict is used for complicated government affairs. The process has been simplified, for example, today there is a need for famine, disaster relief, after the prime minister discussed it, he wrote an edict to Li Chen.

(Official title so-and-so, name A.) (official title so-and-so, name B) and so on, who should be sent to deal with today's disaster relief, where to drop grain and grass, and how to do it. Listen to the edict and listen to it. Finally, write a date.

After Li Chen read it, he agreed, and wrote a Yiyi, Yiyi. It means that he agrees with Zai Xiang to do so. If you don't agree, you will use a cinnabar red pen to write your opinions at the back and hand them over to the prime minister for processing. This is simplified and is designed to handle a large number of government affairs.

Such things as promotion, demotion, and promotion of middle and low-level officials, trial of criminals, almsgiving, food, and so on. Because if every will is written to the highest standard, it will drive people crazy, and nothing will be used, just run the program.

One level further up is called bookmaking. This kind of thing is the most complicated and the most solemn of the holy decrees. What does this look like? First of all, the beginning is, under the door... How how.

Well? Isn't it supposed to be carried by heaven, the emperor said? Of course not. Remember the Tang Dynasty's three-province six-ministry system. Menxia Province has to review the emperor's edicts, so the general edicts start with Menxia....

Then, there are several types of edicts. It is collectively called book making, but it is the most important category, which is called book. The word book is used to count books, several volumes, several volumes. In the earliest days, because bamboo slips were used, bamboo slips were one by one, so this word seemed to be bamboo slips strung together.

I will say this because this kind of edict used to ordain the queen, prince, prince, and important ministers of the imperial court is written in bamboo slips. Therefore it is called a book, and it is established....

After that, it is called the book making to announce what policies, reward and punish, seal officials, etc., but they are all very large. Major policies, such as abolishing rents and mediocrity, reforming the two tax laws, and using books. Like today's Lu Hongzheng's ten articles of the salt law, use an edict. If you have more than three grades, you can use the book. Reward officials like Sikong Yu, as well as Azheng Ayi, with an edict.

This kind of book is written on silk yellow paper, which is specially processed to be beautiful and good-looking, and it is guaranteed that there will be no silverfish.

The last one, called the Consolation Certificate, is a certificate of commendation issued to the Minister. You can see him as an ancient award. It is also written on silk yellow paper.

Since there is an up, there is a down. The upper part of the edict is the production of the book, and the lower part is called the edict. This is also a holy decree, but it is simpler. The emperor didn't even have to sign it. Both of the above need to be signed by the emperor, and the edict is not needed.

This is used to deal with, the kind of larger, more cumbersome, precedent to rely on. According to the precedent, the prime minister did his own thing, and only needed to write that the matter had been informed to the emperor, so it would be fine.

After the edict was written, the two were entertained to have a snack and talked. Li Chen let the two leave. After they left, Li Chen began to think about money again, but this time it was not salt.

First he thought of sugar. This is not lost to the salt to get a lot of profits. In the Great Geographical Discoveries, this is very lucrative. Even at the beginning of the twentieth century, it was a very profitable thing. When Japan occupied Taiwan, it let the Taiwanese people grow a large amount of sugarcane and sell it to the Japanese to get sugar factories to make a lot of profits.

In the Age of Discovery, the Portuguese were the first to rely on this profit to support their seafaring career. Because of the geographical location of Europe, sugar cane cannot be grown, and sugar beets can only be grown to make sugar. But compared with sugar cane, sugar beet has a small yield and is not sweet.

The Portuguese developed a southerly island on which sugar cane was cultivated. He remembered that when he played the online version of the Grand Voyage, the Portuguese could easily make money from that island in the early days. The stand-alone version has a great voyage, and that is the golden road. By that place, you can earn a huge fleet.

Now, Datang's sugar industry is yet to be developed. Li Chen considered that just like salt, he set up a monopoly agency to be responsible for production, and then used the contract to collect sugarcane from the people.

No, there is no need to make a deed at all, Li Chen knocked his head. If the court wants to negotiate a contract with you, just order it directly. However, we should not exploit the people too much, the Japanese used to rely on exploitation, buying sugar cane at low prices, making the people miserable.

Growing sugar cane is hard work. Sugarcane leaves have a lot of hair, and it is very itchy to get on the body, so the sugarcane must be harvested tightly, and you can imagine how hot it is. What's even more bitter is that it's not just one time, isn't the sugarcane one section at a time?

Pull out the leaves every time, otherwise they won't grow tall. As you can imagine, this kind of sugarcane is contemptible and hard to farm, and you only need to plant the seedlings once, and the seedlings will not prick your hands.

Sugar can be very profitable. There is no need to be so bitter to your own people, this sugar is suitable for both self-use and export. At the beginning of the Tang Dynasty, the sugar technology was originally introduced from Tianzhu, and later carried forward and invented the manufacturing technology of white sugar.

I can completely imitate it, as long as this sugar develops, haha, millions of dollars of income every year can't run away.

Li Chen was very excited, but this matter could not come, and it was necessary to promote the cultivation of sugarcane in the south, which involved many things. You don't have to give your own order in the early stage, maybe you can let Suleiman do it. At this point, Suleiman couldn't help but shudder.

After a while, Li Chen's face calmed down, and when he thought of sugar, he remembered another thing, which made him start thinking again. (To be continued.) )
