~~~~~~~
The manufacturing process of cement is not too complicated. Pen Γ fun Γ Pavilion www. ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ γ ο½ο½ο½ο½
It is mainly a powdered hard inorganic cementitious material, which is stirred into a slurry after adding water.
It can harden well in air or water, and can better solidify solid materials such as crushed sand and gravel.
Its main components are mainly salts, especially silicates.
In later generations, although Li Yuanqing was not a contractor and did not know the details, his family often built houses, and sometimes in order to save money, ordinary people would use clay and lime and other substances to mix and construct some less important places.
There is nothing else on Eternal Island, but there is no shortage of clay and lime.
With Li Yuanqing's guidance and the support of the hinterland of southern Liaoning, it is not too difficult to construct simple cement.
However, who is Li Yuanqing?
Until he is sure, he will not expose the matter lightly.
The meeting ended in controversy, and no unanimous proposal was reached, and Li Yuanqing was not in a hurry to express his position.
But after the meeting ended, Li Yuanqing left Shang Lao Liu and Steward Ma, and described his vision of cement to the two in detail.
The two of them couldn't help but be shocked when they heard this.
Shang Lao Liu said: "Yuanqing, the clay thing is really good, and the thing they built is indeed very strong. However, I have never heard of such a cannonball that you describe it, and it can't even be broken? β
Steward Ma was also full of surprise, waiting for Li Yuanqing's explanation.
"Huh."
Li Yuanqing smiled, "I also accidentally saw this in a miscellaneous book. Whether there is such an effect or not, we still have to wait for the test to come out. Brother Shang, Steward Ma, the two of you have to worry a lot about this matter. This will be my first-class confidential priority on Immortal Island. β
The two hurriedly nodded.
Li Yuanqing carefully instructed them a few more words, and then they said goodbye and left.
Looking at their distant backs, Li Yuanqing slowly exhaled a long breath.
If something like cement is manufactured, then ~~~, not only the infrastructure of Changsheng Island, especially in the military, Changsheng Battalion will establish a greater initiative.
Including Fuzhou, Jinzhou, and even Gaizhou and Haizhou, it is really no longer a dream to connect into a line.
However, due to various reasons, even if it can be developed, I am afraid that ~, in a short period of time, it will be difficult to form the scale that Li Yuanqing wants.
But Li Yuanqing is not in a hurry, winter is almost over, will spring be far away?
"Master, I've been busy all morning, you can drink a cup of tea to moisten your throat."
At this time, Nian'er came to Li Yuanqing with a cup of fragrant tea, a familiar fragrant breeze, and a smile.
She has been pregnant for more than three months, and her lower abdomen has slightly gained some size, but she is naturally slim, and at a glance, she can't see too many abnormalities.
Li Yuanqing took the tea, took a sip slowly, the aroma was overwhelming, he couldn't help but smile and put the teacup aside, and held Nian'er's delicate body in his arms, "Didn't you say that you should have a good rest these days?" Why did you come here? β
Since Nian'er became pregnant, she was naturally accepted into the room by Li Yuanqing, and became Li Yuanqing's rightful favorite concubine, and already had the identity of the master, Zhang Yunniang also specially arranged for the sixteen-year-old Xiaolian to come to the official hall to serve Li Yuanqing's daily life.
However, even though Nian'er was three months pregnant, she insisted on staying in the official hall to serve.
Li Yuanqing is used to her service, she is naturally smooth, but Xiaolian has never been able to find a rhythm and seems clumsy.
"Master. The slave is fine. The slave and maid want to serve by the master's side. Nian'er's moist eyes looked at Li Yuanqing with affection.
Li Yuanqing couldn't help but smile.
Of course, she understands Nian'er's careful thoughts, especially after Shu Murong and Liu Qiao gave birth to daughters one after another, she wants to keep a close distance from Li Yuanqing, even if she gives birth to a daughter in the future, she still has many opportunities to accompany Li Yuanqing.
"What do you think about every day in your little head?"
Li Yuanqing smiled and kissed Nian'er's little face, and was about to enlighten her, when there was an urgent shout from the pro-soldier outside the door, "Report -----! β
Nian'er was taken aback, and hurriedly fled from Li Yuanqing's embrace like a frightened rabbit.
Li Yuanqing couldn't help laughing and said, "What are you anxious about?" What should I do if I have tire gas? β
Nian'er also reacted, stuck out her little tongue shyly, and hurriedly stood behind Li Yuanqing.
"Come in."
"Yes."
After a while, a herald soldier rushed in, whispered a few words in Li Yuanqing's ear, and handed a stack of information to Li Yuanqing.
Li Yuanqing's face instantly became gloomy, and he said coldly: "When did this happen?" β
The soldier hurriedly said: "General, we have just received the news here. According to the time, it should not exceed ten days. β
Li Yuanqing nodded slowly, took over the information, his face gradually returned to calm, and after a moment, he waved his hand, "I know, you go down." β
"Yes."
The soldiers hurried away.
Nian'er also knew that Li Yuanqing was in a bad mood, and said in a low voice: "Master, the servant has also retired." β
Li Yuanqing nodded, and when he saw that Nian'er was just about to go out, he suddenly said, "Slow, Nian'er." You go to the kitchen and fry me some side dishes and get me some jugs of good wine. β
"Huh? Be. β
Nian'er left, Li Yuanqing walked quickly to the inner study, closed the door, sat on the bearskin recliner on the side, and slowly fell into deep thought.
Sure enough, there are officials in the court who have already set their sights on him.
The information at the front shows that in the first great court of the new year today, he Li Yuanqing was impeached by dozens of twists and turns, and he was impeached Li Yuanqing for being arrogant and domineering, without the law of the king, and suspected of being a mercenary to stand on his own.
The little emperor of the Apocalypse has not been in the court for more than half a year, and because of this matter, he even quarreled directly with the officials in the court, which caused a sensation.
Up to now, in Beijing, including Liaodi, it has begun to spread that he Li Yuanqing is 'Wang Mang' alive, and Sima Zhao's heart is known to passers-by.
Li Yuanqing's fists were clenched and his eyes were gloomy.
Although he had long expected that this incident in Zhenjiang would definitely cause some repercussions, Li Yuanqing never expected that this repercussion would be so big, it was not a, he simply wanted his little life.
This is fortunate because Li Yuanqing has an iron relationship with the little emperor of the Apocalypse, and the emperor still trusts him very much.
Otherwise, if it is another ordinary military attachΓ©, I am afraid that I will be taken to the Beijing division by Jinyiwei to ask for guilt now.
However, after being angry, Li Yuanqing became more and more calm.
In this world, there will be no love for no reason, let alone hate for no reason.
In the battle of Zhenjiang, although Li Yuanqing was a little out of the way, he had always guarded the red line tightly, and gave up the majority to Mao Wenlong and the Dongjiang headquarters, and Chen Zhong also made a lot of money.
In a conventional sense, Li Yuanqing has not had many actual benefits in this campaign, but there are a lot of fishy~ shameful things, even if there are twists and turns, but he will never be pushed to the cusp.
But the intelligence shows that he has now become the 'Wang Mang' of the Ming Dynasty, and all the civilian bureaucratic groups are eager to crush him immediately.
Carefully flipped through the information, but Li Yuanqing felt more and more that this matter was too suspicious.
Even, in such a state, it was difficult for Wei Zhongxian and the eunuch clique to interject and excuse Li Yuanqing.
Fortunately, Mao Wenlong was already on his way to Beijing at this time, and for today's plan, he could only wait for Mao Wenlong to arrive in Beijing, see how the situation developed, and then talk about other things.
Originally, Li Yuanqing didn't plan to go to Beijing this time, after all, he didn't have too many dazzling exploits in this battle, but now, the mountain rain is about to come and the wind is full of buildings, and there are some things that can't be avoided.
Fortunately, Li Yuanqing still has the holy grace of the little emperor of the Apocalypse at this time, and it should not be too much of a problem to persist for some more time.
If things really crossed the red line and endangered his life, then ......
"These dog turtle grandsons are really not enough to succeed and more than to lose. Do you really want Lao Tzu to do it for you? Or, do you want Lao Tzu to go to the Tartars? β
Li Yuanqing couldn't help but take a sip hard.
But after a moment, he suddenly reacted, if he really did what these officials said, I am afraid that this would really be the crime, and he would not be able to clear his name by jumping into the Yellow River.
At this time, Li Yuanqing suddenly understood why Kong Youde, Shang Kexi, and Geng Jingzhong chose the road of no return.
These officials say that they are mad dogs, and they are all exalting them.
However, there is no wind and no waves, and there are too many suspenseful places in this matter.
He Li Yuanqing does not steal or rob, even if he is a 'minions' under the command of the eunuch party, but in all aspects, he has basically never had a bad record, and some of them are just outstanding achievements, but why, these dog offals will target themselves?
And you can't wait to shoot an arrow through your heart?
After thinking about it, Nian'er and Xiaolian walked in with two trays, which contained a few side dishes and two pots of wine.
Li Yuanqing was a little bored, grabbed the wine jug, and drank it in one go, and the two girls waited carefully on the side, not daring to say more.
Looking at the silent appearance of the two women, Li Yuanqing suddenly found that he was a little obsessed, which was far from his demeanor.
As the saying goes, 'the soldiers will block, and the water will cover the earth'.
Although this matter seems to be a crisis, the intention is so obvious that it is difficult not to wonder.
Although the Ming Dynasty is dull, it is not that there are no people who understand.
The situation is far from being out of control.
Thinking about it, Li Yuanqing's nerves slowly relaxed, and said with a smile: "Xiaolian, Nian'er is pregnant, come and have a drink with me." β
When Xiaolian was eleven or twelve years old, she was bought by Li Yuanqing and was the first person to follow Li Yuanqing.
Although she is a girl at this time, she is Zhang Yunniang's personal girl, such as the identity of Mrs., it is basically an ironclad fact, in the house, she is basically half of the master, who dares to be disrespectful to her?
But at this time, Li Yuanqing spoke, and she didn't dare to disobey, her little face was blushing, "Master, servant, servant toasts you." β
As he spoke, he hurriedly filled his wine glasses, respectfully signaled to Li Yuanqing, and drank them all.
Li Yuanqing smiled, drank all the wine in the cup, and said with a smile: "It's all my own family, so I don't have to be polite." You two, sit down. Nian'er, you eat more to replenish your body. Xiaolian, you too. Now you're too thin, you don't like it. β
The two girls were ashamed and happy, and they didn't dare to refute Li Yuanqing's meaning, so they sat beside Li Yuanqing respectfully.
Looking at the two pretty faces in front of him, Li Yuanqing's nerves gradually eased.
As the old saying goes, 'People are afraid of being famous, and pigs are afraid of being strong'.
In the past, he Li Yuanqing was in a lowly position, even if he wanted to be impeached, he did not have the capital.
But at this time, the light of his shining merits almost covered the entire Ming Dynasty, saying that no one was jealous, how could this be?
Especially in western Liaoning, military salaries account for more than ninety percent of Liaoning's salaries, but up to now, more than three years have passed, and there is no merit of bird feathers.
But on his side of Li Yuanqing and Dongjiang, they have won successive battles, and it is not surprising that some people have stumbled.
And as his identity rises more and more in the future, there will definitely be such things.
Now, it's just a small test, and it's just getting started.
Thinking about it, Li Yuanqing became more and more relieved.
The main reason is that his energy has been concentrated on the military and government affairs, and he has not paid enough attention to the situation between the DPRK and China.
A familiar old face suddenly appeared in Li Yuanqing's mind.
If he wants to solve this dilemma, he must first carefully test the meaning of his immediate boss ----- Liaodong Jingluo Sun Chengzong.
