Many things are easier said than done because there is no most critical thermometer, and because refractory bricks are not ordinary green bricks and red bricks, so Ding Dagong and they had to cross the river by feeling the stones. (The text was first published in the reading cabinet biquge.info) and so on, Ding Dagong finally got the finished product, and more than a dozen kiln bricks have been burned before and after, and Rao is doing this and I don't know if it is a real qualified product.

Since there was no way to inspect it, Zheng Kezhang had to catch the ducks on the shelves, but when he began to prepare to burn "artificial volcanic ash cement", he found a problem that Ding Dagong had mentioned and that he had overlooked, that is, fuel. On the one hand, the Ministry of Industry abandoned this place because of the unavailability of fuel, and on the other hand, the combustion value of forage and wood is too low, and it often takes about ten days of waste heat to fire a furnace, which does not meet the requirements of Zheng Kezang's mass production at all.

However, Taiwan's coal and iron resources are scarce, and most of the larger coal mines are in the north, and the north is only a penal colony for the Ming and Zheng sides at this time, with a harsh environment, a lack of population, and a lot of trouble, so we can't even protect ourselves, let alone vigorously develop coal mine resources. In this case, the only solution that Zheng Kezhang could propose was to build his own dry distillation kiln to produce his own charcoal.

"The eldest son, the little one has only heard of the kiln to extract carbon, and has never heard of any dry distillation, can this be done?"

"I'll have to try it if I can make it." Zheng Kezhang didn't have much confidence, the key was that he didn't know how to design the retort, so he just talked to himself. "But if this thing can be done, not only can it produce charcoal, but also wood tar, wood tar is a good thing, whether it is military or civilian, it has great uses."

"But if it doesn't work out, you have to break a lot of money, and it will also delay time." Ding Dagong saw Zheng Kezhang messing with money like this, and he couldn't help but feel pain for him. "Eldest prince, otherwise, I'll have an idea," Zheng Kezhang nodded indifferently, and Ding Dagong said. "The charcoal kiln over there is burned first, and the flow kiln is slowly tried by the flow kiln here."

"Makes sense." Zheng Kezhang laughed. "Master Ding, such a good idea, don't hide it in the future, just say it." Speaking of this, Zheng Kezhang looked back at his inner servant. "Jin Nineteen, how much spare money do you have?"

Jin 19 took out the account book from his bosom and read: "It took 30 taels to renovate the brick kiln, 115 taels to build four water mills and wind mills, 137 27 cents to repair the materials for the ash kiln, 228 cents to use soil for the trial production of fire bricks before and after, and then it took another 171 taels to build the cement kiln, plus the silver and rewards of the craftsmen these days, and now there are 1,824 27 cents and 2 cents on the account." ”

Zheng Kezhang was very satisfied with this number, which was definitely more than the thousands of RmB in the era when Fang Ming lived, so he waved his hand very much: "Then build two kilns according to the intention of Master Ding, one for trial dry distillation, and one for direct charcoal, so as to delay the production of cement."

When he returned to Anping City, Zheng Kezhang had not yet sat down, and his subordinates came to report: "Qinshe, there is a widow who asks to see him." ”

"Wolver? What kind of Japanese people? Can Japanese people enter Anping City casually? Zheng Kezhang looked left and right suspiciously, Jin Shijiu on the side obviously understood the inside story of the matter, so he came up and explained a few words, and Zheng Kezhang suddenly realized. It turned out to be a chicken coop Japanese merchant house's hand generation, "Since it's a Japanese arms supplier." "See you then, slow!" Zheng Kezang thought suddenly changed his mind. "Let's take him to the living room and sit down, and see you after the rest of the shower."

When Zheng Kezang, who had freshly washed up, walked into the living room, he saw a little man who was completely dressed as a Ming man and knelt down in front of him, and then his forehead thumped on the floor: "Meet the Qin Hall at the Shimoike Yatagawa Goro Saemon." ”

Because he was worried that the young Zheng Kezhang didn't know what his name represented, the Japanese named Saemon specially added after signing up for the show: "It's a gate of the Hiratoda River family." ”

Hiratoda Kawa family? Isn't that Zheng Yiguan's Japanese wife's house? Other words?

"It turned out to be a distant relative of my great-grandmother, which is rare on weekdays." Zheng Kezhang was full of suspicion about this distant relative who suddenly appeared, not to mention that this relative was a Japanese whom he had always been wary of. "It is said that the Tokugawa shogunate is locking down the country, and all Japanese living abroad are strictly forbidden to return to the country, and all returned overseas Chinese will be executed.

Qin Dian laughed. The Japanese were a little laughing and crying at Zheng Kezang's inference about the purpose of his invitation, but the other party was a child of noble status, and such children usually had some quirks, so he had to explain. "Although returning to Japan is something that I have always dreamed of, the shogunate is very powerful, and I have long since stopped planning to do so."

"Then the Tagawa Dynasty is here?" Zheng Kezhang pretended to be puzzled and asked, and after he finished sitting down, he seemed to remember what he had missed. "Hey, why is Tian Chuan still kneeling, get up quickly, it's Yu who is negligent, come here, show Mr. a seat, and make a pot of good tea and send it."

"Thank you for the throne." Tagawa Saemon slowly got up after giving another salute, and sat on the chair with half a buttocks, apparently completely Chinese. "Actually, there are two things here. First, I heard that His Royal Highness was interested in purchasing three spears from Japan, and after consulting with the Japanese in the chicken coop, he was willing to offer 1,000 for free. ”

"How can this be made," Zheng Kezhang waved his hand again and again when he heard it, as the saying goes, if you have nothing to do, you must be a traitor or a thief, Zheng Kezhang didn't want to swallow the bait of the Japanese by mistake. "You are willing to take the risk of not being able to return to China to stay in Taiwan, it is nothing more than to survive and make profits, how can you let you and others lose their capital, this matter is still unacceptable."

"The Qin Palace is benevolent, and the fruit is worthy of it." Tagawa Saemon complimented. "Qin Dian, after listening to the second thing below, it's not too late to refuse." Zheng Kezhang knew that he would always come, so he nodded and listened to what Tian Chuan said. "Forced by the shogunate's harsh administration, the inferior Japanese have no home to return to, and they have been stranded in Taiwan for many years, and they already regard Taiwan as a second mother country, and they are quite willing to do something for Taiwan. Now I heard that the Qindian recruited boy scouts, and the inferior Japanese were willing to enter the camp with their children, I don't know if the Qindian was willing to accept it. ”

"Shhh Zheng Kezhang gasped, it turned out that the Japanese were fighting this idea, and it was really a great plan. "I'm afraid Yu can't be the master of this matter," Zheng Kezhang subconsciously pushed. "The source of the Boy Scouts is arranged by Lord Chen Yonghua, and the rest is just to sit back and enjoy the success, and Tian Chuan Chao should go to find the envoy of General Chen."

"General Envoy Chen's side, I have already visited Xia, and I am very appreciative of the heart of the inferior General Envoy Chen, and he has already agreed. It's just that since the boy camp is His Highness's mother's clothes, it is better to inform His Highness about this matter, so I came here to make it clear, and I hope that the Qin Palace can agree. ”

"Oh? Chief Envoy Chen has agreed! ”

Zheng Kezhang was secretly surprised, he knew that there were many Japanese officers and soldiers in Zheng's army, but he didn't expect Chen Yonghua to directly agree to the Japanese request without consulting him, what is this, he Chen Yonghua really regarded himself as an ignorant young man who could only play at home? However, although Zheng Kezhang was shocked, his face was not too obvious. After all, on the one hand, a small number of Japanese in Taiwan's political, economic, military, and other aspects belong to a subordinate position, and they cannot shake the foundation of the Zheng regime, and on the other hand, absorbing a part of the Japanese children of Japanese descent will also help to get the support of the part of the Japanese in the Zheng army, and can give themselves an extra hole card to play in the future struggle with the ministers.

"Since Chief Envoy Chen has already agreed, then Yu doesn't have to say anything," Zheng Kezhang narrowed his eyes and looked at Tian Chuan, who seemed to be suspected of sowing discord. "But the ugly words are in front, although the boy boy camp is not as strict as the regular army, but the military regulations are as strict, if you can't bear it, don't blame Yu for not being humane."

"That's natural," hearing that Zheng Kezhang agreed to his request, Tagawa Saemon's eyes narrowed with laughter, and he turned a blind eye to Zheng Kezang's words of hidden murder. "Although I am a businessman at the bottom now, my ancestors were all samurai before, and they have always restrained their children with the requirements of warriors, so they naturally know the truth of strict military discipline."

"It's good to understand, just?" Seeing that the punch hit the weak cotton, Zheng Kezhang pondered for a moment, and finally decided to put the Japanese teenagers in the camp for another year, so that they could be placed in relatively unimportant positions on the grounds of seniority in the future. "It's just that the recruits of the boy boy battalion are recruited once a year, and this year's staff is full, so the Japanese boys can only be scheduled for the next period."

"Eldest Prince, can't you find a way to work around?" Because he has been in China for a long time, Tagawa understands the truth that late changes happen. "If you feel that the inferior dedication is insufficient, you will try your best to persuade the Japanese merchant in the chicken coop to provide the eldest prince with fifty more high-quality iron cannons from Tanegashima."

"Tagawa Chaofeng said carefully! Is there still a shortage of fifty iron cannons? Zheng Kezang straightened his face all of a sudden, seeing Zheng Kezang's expression, Tian Chuan knew that he had said the wrong thing, and hurriedly lay down to apologize to Zheng Kezang, Zheng Kezhang waved his hand. Get up," waited for Tian Chuan to sit down cautiously again, Zheng Kezhang explained half-truthfully. "The drill of the boy boy camp is different from that of the regular army, and the drill needs to be gradual, and the boys who entered the camp this year have been training for several months, and at this time let the Japanese boys plug in, on the one hand, the drill cannot keep up, and on the other hand, the team has to be disrupted and reorganized."

Tian Chuan understood that Zheng Kezhang was actually saying that the sudden cutting of the Japanese would disrupt the plan and make the Chinese boys who had been training for a long time feel dissatisfied. And among these boys, there are many children of high-ranking and powerful people, who are already high-minded, and they will inevitably instigate a group of people to isolate Japanese children. Moreover, isolation is still trivial, for fear that a long-term hostility will be formed because of this, which will make the plans of Tagawa and others almost in vain.

Now that he figured it out, Tian Chuan was confused again, he deliberately peeked at Zheng Kezang, and said in his heart that this teenage boy's mind would be so meticulous, could it be that these words were taught by others in advance? It's not like ah, and there's no one around? What do you want to say, how can the other party guess that the other party is not a god or Buddha? If it is really what he said, then Taiwan's future

I want to think about it, but I still have to reply, and Zheng Kezang's decision seems to be well-intentioned, so I can't help but recognize it without pinching his nose: "Since it's so troublesome, then do it according to the will of the Qin Palace!" ”
