The establishment of the Ulus camp was completed almost at the same time as Lü Xiang's ascension. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info Lu Xiang this guy has to say that there are indeed two brushes, since he served as the supervisor, General Guo Wei and the three thousand soldiers have returned to the station one after another. There was no such thing on the site as on the day of Burhan's inspection. On the contrary, both the construction quality and the progress have been significantly improved, and Lu Xiang even secretly reached an agreement with Wu Ershan, which is exactly what Burhan expected. It's okay to have Lu Xiang staring at the construction site, and Burhan actually has nothing to do, so he thinks of those things made by Lu Xiang.

Since Bulhan found Feng Ji and Lao Yu to study those things, Feng Ji took out the samples within a few days, and Bulhan looked at the traces of "roasted blue" and scorching fire with an indescribable feeling. True, these tools, machinery, are generally in line with Burhan's ideas. Burhan believes that the process of human civilization is a process of innovation of production tools, from scratch, from simplification to refinement, from low energy to high efficiency. The progress of civilization is also a manifestation of the increasingly intensive and clean use of human energy.

When the machinery was done, Burhan also agreed to cast it on a large scale, and because of the importance of iron to the tribe, Burhan did not let Feng Ji make too much of it, that is, ten sheep's feet and smooth wheels were milled, and more than thirty were made of sliding plows for extracting soil. With the tools in place, it is conceivable that the progress of road construction will be greatly improved in the future. However, General Guo Wei's concerns were also reasonable, and Burhan had to consider them. The equipment is there, but a new problem arises, most of the slaves are illiterate, they can't even distinguish between the left and right hands, let them use such "advanced" equipment, a bit of a cow chewing peony, need a person who understands them to use it intensively, Lu Xiang is the best candidate. Now he was not only an overseer, but also tasked with teaching slaves how to use tools. Fortunately, there are not a few Han people among the slaves, as long as they are guided a little, this may be the benefit of inheritance?

For Burhan to toss Alert like this, he is too lazy to care, that is, Wu Rizhao keeps looking for some faults, Alette didn't say anything, after a month, the dirt road from Purple Muddy to Jilantai can basically be driven, and Wu Rizhao naturally shut up.

If it was according to the standards of the Ming people, the road would have been repaired, but Burhan, who believed in one-time investment, did not think so, he felt that if he wanted to repair it, he would have to repair it, otherwise why would he spend so much effort to invite a lime craftsman? This road also needs to be paved with lime and sand-based triple soil, and then compacted in order to ensure that it is not muddy in rainy and snowy days, so as not to waste so much investment in the Hechi Ti Department.

If you want to lay the surface layer of trilateral, lime is the key. The lime craftsmen who were "invited" from Ningxia by Burhan did not dare to let the family work at first, after all, they had just changed an environment and had to be familiar with it first, and besides, the technicians who had the ability in Burhan's memory were very dragged and needed to be supplied. (Burhan is not deeply involved in the world, and he does not know the status of ancient craftsmen underground.) In the era of economic integration, as education technology becomes more and more popular, people who rely on technology and brains to eat more and more need to face up to their own status, and those who are arrogant and empty will be eliminated. China is still unknown, and there are many scientists in the United States who are tired of running around and pulling sponsorship in a low voice. ）

When Burhan called for a limestone craftsman, he learned that not all stones could be burned into lime, but that they needed limestone or shells or something like that, and that Bourhan had naively thought that white stones were limestone.

Seeing that the gallop from the purple mud to the gilanthai is about to be completed, all that remains is some trimming and delicate work, which makes Burhan have to hurry up and solve the problem of lime. Fortunately, there is Helan Mountain in the sphere of influence of the Hechi Ti Tribe, and there is an abundance of limestone on the mountain, which can be turned into lime as long as it is calcined.

In order to facilitate the retrieval and firing, only a lime kiln can be built under Helan Mountain, Qin Fang's grandfather is the potter of the Hechi Ti Department, of course, the kiln is also his specialty, Burhan simply handed over the lime kiln and pottery to him to manage. That meant that all the potters of the Hechiti tribe of Daduoreyan had to be relocated to the new kiln, and even the apprentices were brought with them due to the lack of manpower, but in fact Burhan also had his own thoughts, that is, the technology related to his own development could not always be monopolized by "outsiders", and those apprentices had an important task in mind while helping, that is, learning to burn lime. The salary of 300 taels per person per year was really high, and Burhan originally thought that the craftsmen would spend money in the Hechi Tibu Department, maybe the 300 taels were not enough, but he underestimated the determination of the Chinese to save money.

After a large number of slaves were deployed, kilns for firing lime were built in a few days, as were several kilns for firing pottery. A few days later, when the kiln was dried and ready for firing, Burhan came to the scene to observe. No matter what the doorway is, it will be easier for a college student to understand.

The lime craftsmen crushed the limestone mined by the slaves into pieces the size of a football, and then laid them out layer by layer with the wood, then closed the furnace, and then set the wood on fire to let them go free. A lime master told Burhan that it would take at least five days for it to be burned. How many furnaces do Burhan need to burn with such a backward process and such a low production capacity to catch up with the progress of road construction? With such a large furnace to burn about 10 quintals of lime, is there no better way? In Burhan's opinion, this burning lime does not have too much technical content, originally thought it was very complicated, but in fact it is just a calcination process!

Leave it alone, Burhan still has things to do. One day, Grandpa Qin Fang found Burhan and said that his eldest disciple had been thinking about this lime burning thing these days, and he didn't even burn the pottery that the tribe urgently needed, but started another furnace to burn the lime by himself. Burhan knows, this is the old man to sue, but this also shows that Burhan's original calculation was correct, even if the precautions are strict, so many apprentices in the Chiti Department will always have some gains, right? Old Man Qin's eldest apprentice is called Zhao Shuimiao, this person is still known, and he is quite a scientist. Today, his invention is found in several wells of the tribe of Doreyan, which is a clay spindle-shaped bottle with rope tied to the ears, so that even empty bottles can easily obtain water.

In any case, it was the Hechiti Ministry's own "experts" who listened to what he had in mind before talking. After making up his mind, Burhan sent someone to invite Zhao Shuimiao to talk to him.

Since the lime kiln was at the foot of the mountain far away from the station, Zhao Shuimiao had already drunk a few bowls of milk tea when he came to Burhan. As soon as he entered the door, he didn't recognize Burhan at first, and it wasn't until he greeted Burhan and his master that he vaguely saw something like him. Just like the scientists on TV who forget to sleep and eat and are keen on experiments, Zhao Shuimiao has also turned himself into a plaster.

Old Man Qin was not interested in paying attention to him when he saw that the proud disciple was like this, and turned his back to him. The old man is still angry! is also the apprentice he values the most, and if he doesn't do his job, he manipulates the lime, so how can Qin Lao get by in his heart?

"Childe, you called me?" Zhao Shuimiao was still doing the style, but he received a summons from the guards that it was Gongzi questioning, this is a new thing, what an honor it is for a person as big as Gongzi to ask him, as soon as he entered the door, he saw Gongzi and the master there, and the master ignored him, but glared at him and guessed what was going on.

"I heard your master say that you have been tinkering with lime these days, what's going on!" Burhan came up and went straight to the point, which made Zhao Shuimiao a little overwhelmed, he knew that the master's grandson Qin Fang was currently a team officer of Chinasi, which could be described as promising, and it could be seen from the old man's complaint that he could alarm the prince of Burhan, and he was just a potter, what could he do? Let's be honest!

Zhao Shuimiao thought about it, sorted out the language, and then replied respectfully to Burhan: "Son Qiyu, what the family teacher said is good. The villain has been fiddling with lime these days, and for this reason, he delayed the burning of the tribe's pottery and asked the son to punish him. "Burhan didn't expect this guy to be so single, at least he should say some excuses, right?

Old man Qin, when he heard this, he was even more angry, and he picked up his crutches and was about to beat this unfilial man, but fortunately, Burhan was strong enough to stop the old man, and at the same time said to Zhao Shuimiao, "Hurry up and tell me what's going on!" ”

Old Man Qin, who had calmed down a little, also wanted to hear what was the reason why he would rather give up pottery making and learn to burn lime instead. Zhao Shuimiao said, "When I came to the mountain pass that day, Childe asked all the apprentices to give a lecture. The meaning of this is that we should also learn to burn lime, and that we should not always let those craftsmen control it, which is not good for the tribe. Zhao Shuimiao said this, Burhan found that the two of them were staring at him, yes, Burhan said it, so he admitted it to the old man.

The old man raised his head and scolded, "Since it is a matter of the son's confession, why don't you tell me?" Won't I let you do it? You! "The old man has some hatred! After doing it for a long time, people have a task in their bodies, and they still came to the son to complain, which is really a shame.

Zhao Shuimiao continued: "Since the first ingredient was burned that day, I found some problems. At this time, Burhan's eyes lit up and began to sound seriously, and Qin Lao didn't dare to disturb, so he could only accompany the prince to read and listen.

"I used to burn pottery and lime in some places, so I wondered if I could use my kiln to burn lime? When I got back, I made a few furnaces. I heard a craftsman say that it takes at least five days for a furnace to come out of the kiln, but I think it only took a day to make it. "This is a major breakthrough! A big reason why Burhan can't look down on the current process is because the time is too long, which is not conducive to construction. Although there is not much rain in the Tengger grassland every spring and summer, there is also rain, and if the road repaired today is not on the surface layer of Sanhe soil, once the heavy rain is coming, it will be ruined, so Burhan is in a hurry to find a countermeasure, it seems that Zhao Shuimiao has made some doorways.

"I've found that the smaller the stone is crushed and the charcoal is mixed and filled in the kiln, it can be out of the kiln in a day at most." Isn't it? When I was in middle school physics, my teacher said that the smaller the object, the more it can fully contact or burn and react, and when he entered the kiln that day, Burhan found that the lime was too large.

Burhan listened more and more so that he wanted to see the results of his work immediately. Zhao Shuimiao also couldn't wait, not that he wanted to show a thing or two, but that he already had a furnace of lime that began to burn, but he was called by Burhan for questioning before he sealed the kiln in time. By the time they arrived at the kiln factory, there had been several circles of people in the pottery kiln area, and Zhao Shuimiao also seemed to notice that something was wrong, he hurriedly pulled away from the crowd and got in, only to find that the kiln he had worked so hard to transform had been deformed. What's even more odious is that no one knows how to lack morality, so they pour clay ash into the lime furnace and cover it with lime. Seeing these Zhao Shuimiao in front of him, he didn't even have the heart to cry, so when he saw someone, he grabbed and asked who made it. Burhan also felt that this was an extraordinary matter, and that he must be held accountable, and whoever destroyed the communal property of the tribe should be punished.

So, by the order of Burhan himself, the Chinath was stationed and began to investigate one by one. Burhan didn't believe that no one would see the gangsters commit crimes in the huge kiln factory? The only explanation is that someone is lying, which is to hide from each other. The impact of the incident also grew, and as the investigation deepened, the perpetrators were locked on the potters and apprentices who stayed behind at noon. But if you ask further, you can't ask anything, which also makes Burhan very angry, and the old man Qin came forward to intercede, after all, he is a tribal potter, and those apprentices and craftsmen are under his control, if it is because of this matter and it is too involved, it is not good It is the people who have experienced the rebellion of Bibai who have thought too much, but they were persuaded by their grandson Qin Fang. "It's better for the old man to leave this matter alone."

It was almost evening, and there was still no progress, and Burhan was indeed angry, and he ordered suspicious people to be surrounded in a fence and said to them, "I know that there must be that wicked man among you, and I hope he will stand up." It is not a big deal to dare to bear it, and I want to tell all the people today that the blatant destruction of public property will be punished, and that it is the use of despicable means. I'm going to give you a cup of tea to think about it, and I hope it doesn't disappoint me. After speaking, the timer began, and his own guards served milk tea. The kung fu of a cup of tea soon arrived, and there was only a whispered talk in the crowd but no one took the initiative to admit it.

Burhan put down his teacup and raised his horsewhip. This is the signal, and it is not the first time that Chenasi has done the work of "killing people and destroying mouths", and immediately a team of Chenas set up bows and arrows to aim at the fence. The people in the fence began to panic at this time, and Bulhan looked at these frightened craftsmen and felt funny, and said slowly, "Since no one dares to admit it, then I can't blame me for being ruthless, I can only say that that guy has caused you a burden." For the sake of the canonical punishment, I can only endure the pain and put you to death, by the way, there is still a tea time to write down the last words to the clerk! With that, the clerk entered. In Chinasi, each squad had a clerk who recorded meritorious deeds and exercised military law, and the clerks all entered the field, and some people finally couldn't stand it anymore, and ran to the front and knelt down while crying and saying, "Childe spare your life!" I know who did it, it was Zhang San and Shewang who did it together, it's none of my business! Childe spares his life..."

It is true that Burhan did not really want to execute so many people, even if he was eager to kill, he would not kill so many craftsmen at one time, and he would not do the matter of destroying the Great Wall. found the main owner, and before the guards could enter the scene to arrest the two of them, they were already paralyzed on the ground, and after some interrogation, they understood the reason.

It turned out that this matter was also related to Old Man Qin. Zhang San, Shewang and Zhao Shuimiao are also the apprentices of the old man, but the treatment is different, the two of them are most unaccustomed to the master's attention to the senior brother Zhao Shuimiao, and slowly evolved into envy, jealousy and hatred. It just so happened that these days, Zhao Shuimiao was scolded by the master for studying lime, and the two of them also added oil and vinegar to the side, so the old man Qin came out to complain to Burhan, and as Zhao Shuimiao was called by Burhan for questioning, and there was no time to rush to seal the kiln, the two of them decided to give Zhao Shuimiao a little color, and see, and caused damage. The two of them were so happy to see that the kiln was not sealed, and immediately took action to sprinkle the clay of pottery on the lime to cover the furnace fire, and then simply poured water on the furnace to cool down, which made the kiln deformed and unusable, so that today's catastrophe came.

Since Shewang was a Mongol, those Han craftsmen were afraid of him, so he had a cover-up trip. Their crimes were not capital crimes, but they also had a very bad impact on the Hechi Ti tribe, and in the end, Burhan sentenced Zhang San and Shewang to be slaves and served in the pottery kiln for ten years to atone for their crimes. While Burhan was interrogating the two, the "research maniac" began to continue his research. Lime that has just come out of the kiln is called quicklime, while slaked lime is required for triad soil mixing. The process of quicklime adding water to mature lime is also called the digestion of lime, and the cooked lime is also called slaked lime. Zhao Shuimiao sprinkled water on the lime powder out of the kiln, but there was no exothermic phenomenon as it should be, or it was not obvious. Burhan looked at him carrying a bucket in his hand and looked tired, so he didn't bother him, maybe tired or disappointed.

The next day, Burhan was still dealing with things in the shack, and Zhao Shuimiao eagerly ran around and pulled Burhan to the furnace, without saying anything, and of course he didn't listen to what Burhan said. After the two arrived, Zhao Shuimiao pointed to the lime he had dissolved yesterday and was speechless excitedly, seeing that Burhan did not react, he stood decisively on the "lime pile" and jumped and jumped. Slowly Bourhan found that something was wrong, the dissolved lime Bour was rare, not to mention the powder, it was also very loose, where was it like this hard like a cement slab! Wait a minute... Cement? Burhan began to face the pile of lime. Due to the uneven water of Zhao Shuimiao yesterday, some places have not yet formed hard lumps, and after uncovering it, Burhan was surprised to find that those gray powders are not the same as the cement of later generations? And its water-coagitating properties really tell people that it is cement. It turned out that Burhan also wanted to use cement to build roads, but he didn't know that he wanted to cross, and of course he didn't know the formula of cement.

Grabbing the cement, Burhan looked back at Zhao Shuimiao and picked it up and signaled to him, as if he was even happier than him. Could it be that Childe is happy and stupid? That's a must, you think, it's like a person who has been upgraded by fighting monsters and suddenly pulls out a reincarnation card from a monster, can he be unhappy? With cement, not only can the quality of the road be improved, but also high-rise buildings may appear in the future! And all this credit is concentrated in the potter's body, without Zhao Shuimiao's lime research, without Zhang San, Shewang's envy, jealousy, hatred, and without Zhao Shuimiao's later dissolution, there would be no cement today, Burhan decided to reward Zhao Shuimiao well, at least let him be responsible for the firing of cement and follow-up research. When Burhan was outlining his grand plans, Zaduro urgently reported that there was a situation in the mountain pass, and Burhan did not think much about immediately assembling the Chinasi movement towards the mountain pass, and there could be no accident in all this that the Hechi Ti Department had finally built.
