Chapter 0118, the prefect extorted the bamboo

The heat gathering effect of the big iron pot is far better than that of the iron pot, and after a while, I heard the crackling sound inside the iron can, like the sound of stones cracking.

In less than an hour, the sound in the iron can became louder and louder, as if it was about to explode, Fan Jinyan was afraid of an accident, and hurriedly told everyone to retreat far away before waiting for the result. After all, in later generations, iron cans like this were forged with steel, and Fan Jinyan made this directly with molten pig iron, and the safety was naturally not comparable.

Everyone held their breath and fixed their eyes on the huge red-hot tin can in the distance.

Especially the owner of the blacksmith shop, who came to see the bustle, at this time he folded his hands and muttered words in his mouth, as if he was praying that nothing would happen. Also, he was afraid that if these iron cans exploded, the old man of Zhizhou would find himself to vent his anger, and maybe kill himself.

Maybe it's because the quality of the tin can has passed, or maybe it's because the owner of the blacksmith shop has blessed it. The tin can did not explode, but like a fart, there was a muffled 'poof' sound, and the cement rushed from the iron pipe to the cement pool, stirring up dust and smoke in the sky.

At this time, Fan Jinyan laughed, successful, at this rate, the output of dozens of tons a day will not be able to run. It's just that every last time, it's still quite scary.

When he saw the dust and smoke in the sky, he was ready to turn around and order a batch of masks for the workers and buy some lung-clearing herbs to drink every day. Because working in this environment for a long time, it is easy to get respiratory emergency.

For the sake of safety, Fan Jinyan found the manager in charge of the cement plant and explained to him that he must stay away from the cement when it comes out of the pot in the future, and ensure the safety of the workers. In addition, special attention should be paid to food, not only to eat well, but also to eat well.

The temperature of the large iron can is high, and the cement effect is significantly higher than that of the fried cement when I do the experiment, which is not only more delicate, but also firmer.

After the cement was successful, Fan Jinyan did not rush to transport the first batch of cement to the development zone for the construction of the plant, but ordered the construction of a cement road connecting the cement plant and the development zone. The main consideration is that the roads are difficult and inconvenient to transport.

The cement road is actually the best paved, blocked with wooden planks on both sides of the roadbed, and then poured in the concrete with large pebbles, and finally smoothed out.

It took less than ten days to complete more than ten kilometers, and the completion of this road instantly caused a sensation in Yazhou, and hundreds of people flocked to see what a road as hard as iron was like.

Soon, the news that Yazhou Zhizhou had built a heavenly road spread throughout Qiongzhou Prefecture.

Many people have traveled for a few days or even half a month, just to see it.

Originally, this road was only paved for the convenience of cement transportation to the development zone. But I didn't think about it, but now it is more difficult to walk, countless pedestrians, horse-drawn carriages have run to the top to experience the freshness of the cement road.

That's not all, Fan Jinyan's Zhizhou Yamen was almost crowded with businessmen of all sizes, all of whom came to negotiate deals.

In the end, Fan Jinyan euphemistically said that he didn't want to sell outside for the time being, so he drove away the businessmen who blocked the door.

However, as soon as the merchant left, the envoy of the prefect He Yi came.

No matter how you look at it, you look like a treacherous person, especially the pair of rat eyes and the two rat-tail whiskers on your lips, you don't have to think about it to know that this person must be He Yi's dog-headed military advisor.

"The student stated that he had met Lord Zhizhou." As soon as this person saw Fan Jinyan, he clasped his fists and saluted, but no matter how he looked at it, his attitude looked like he was demonstrating, and he didn't take Fan Jinyan, the governor, in his eyes at all.

The more powerful people are, the easier it is to deal with. Fan Jinyan didn't care, smiled indifferently, and said, "Sir, please take a seat." ”

After finishing speaking, he called the soldiers to serve tea.

After the soldiers retreated, Fan Jinyan made a gesture of invitation, and after taking a sip of tea, he said, "I don't know what instructions Lord Fuzun has." ”

"Huh." The statement smiled, put down the teacup and said, "Adults are young and promising, and the future is limitless!" The matter of Yazhou Tianlu, Lord Fuzun has heard about it, and he also praises the adult! ”

What is this king and calf talking all this nonsense for? Do you want to wait for Lao Tzu to say? Lao Tzu is now poor and panicked, so there is still money to buy you well.

Thinking of this, Fan Jinyan also laughed, "Lord Fuzun has won the award, this is what the lower officials should do." ”

The statement didn't expect Fan Jinyan to be so unreasonable, so he couldn't help frowning, and continued: "If you have such a ability, you will be able to earn a lot in the future!" It's really enviable. ”

Nima, it's over, isn't it?

In fact, Fan Jinyan is not reluctant to give up that bit of silver, he really can't take it out now, the silver in the state treasury is all pressed in the money bank, and his own savings are almost used, if he sends a few hundred taels more, it is estimated that in the next period of time, the family can only survive by drinking porridge.

Thinking of this, Fan Jinyan had a bitter face, and was embarrassed: "Mr. doesn't know, this official can't even afford to drink gruel now." ”

The statement was stunned for a moment, and said in surprise: "Why did your lord say this?" Students' view: This cement business is a lucrative business. ”

"A book of profits?" Fan Jinyan shook his head and said with a smile: "Mr. only looks at the surface!" Cement seems simple, but in fact the process is complex. Now the official has put all his net worth in the Yazhou mess, if there is no return, the official will be really conspicuous. ”

Seeing that Fan Jinyan didn't look like a lie, he stopped talking nonsense and directly said the request of the prefect He Yi.

As soon as he finished speaking, Fan Jinyan was startled, He Yi's abacus was too loud!

However, in order to paralyze He Yi, Fan Jinyan still said that he would definitely complete the things explained by Lord Fuzun.

He Yi is indeed a lion's mouth, and he asked Fan Jinyan to build him a cement road from Qiongzhou Mansion to Wanzhou Sailor Wharf. This road is hundreds of miles, and the cost is sea, with the current labor force and cement output, it will not take a year to work hard, don't think about the success of paving.

However, Fan Jinyan still patted his chest and promised to complete the task assigned by the prefect as soon as possible.

However, it was also proposed that transportation is difficult now, and a cement road from Yazhou to Fucheng must be paved first.

The statement didn't understand this, but when he saw that Fan Jinyan didn't shirk, he didn't say anything anymore, so he planned to leave.

When Fan Jinyan sent him out, a personal soldier ran over with a piece of flower cloth and said with a bitter face: "My lord, Madame said that although our house is poor, we can't lose etiquette, this is Madame's only remaining dowry, and I want my lord to transfer it to Mr., which is considered as travel expenses." ”

After speaking, he opened the flower cloth bag in his hand, and a handful of broken silver that could no longer be broken was displayed in front of the statement.

How much is in it? Five taels? Eight taels? It's not more than ten taels!

The statement suddenly felt a little sour in his nose, what kind of life is this Nima. Looking back at Fan Jinyan's eyes, it seemed like to say again, you are really embarrassed to be our officials.

Fan Jinyan also pretended to be reluctant to give it, and said with a sad face: "If Mr. doesn't dislike ......"

Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by the statement, "The adult is polite, the student has to rush back to report to the lord of the mansion and say goodbye first." ”

After speaking, he left the Zhizhou Mansion with his head held high, looking tall and not eating the fireworks of the world.

After Fan Jinyan screamed twice, he sneered, turned around and asked his own soldiers, "Where did you get all that broken silver?" ”
