Chapter 137 Development of cement
Yang Heng returned to the countryside in a daze, he regretted it now, he actually told the cement thing accidentally, and promised Li Er to make the cement in the fastest time, but how to make it.
How to build, Yang Heng regretted a little, in his previous life, why didn't he go to the cement factory to work, or visit. Pondering and meditating, pondering and meditating, finally, Yang Heng remembered that in his previous life, he had chatted with some old people, one of whom was a tractor driver, it is said that he had gone to the cement factory to pull cement, and the cement of that era, the formula was the simplest, that is, it was fired with clay and some stones together, and then after grinding, the cement came out.
Now that I think about it, maybe it was the worst cement produced at that time, but if it was placed in this era, it would be the most advanced.
Maybe the cement process is the simplest process for some traversers, but now Yang Heng is stumped, he only knows that the limestone can burn lime, that thing he has seen with his own eyes, is this cement also made of limestone, by the way, in the previous life, there was a hanging ceiling material, called gypsum, this can be found, maybe this thing can also be used, yes, gypsum, gypsum, as if mentioned in middle school textbooks, is a material that solidifies quickly, right, Let people find it now.
While thinking, I came to the place where the brick kiln was. "Butler, butler." "Come, come, Xiao Langjun, you call me." "Well, come here, I'll arrange something for you, here, leave it to your deputy."
"But Xiao Langjun, I need to watch it for myself here, this is our family's secret." "What's the secret, the people of this brick kiln are not our slaves, can you stop them from telling the truth?" "Then I'll sign them all into a death contract." The housekeeper said fiercely.
"Don't come nonsense, how can you sign someone's death deed casually, and don't lose their salary, it doesn't matter if they say it, now you don't care about it here, I have a very important thing for you to do, let's go, let's talk while walking." "Yes, Xiao Langjun, then I'll go back and explain and leave." "It's okay, put the deputy as the kiln chief of this brick kiln, and let him take care of this place."
"Xiao Langjun, okay, I will mention a person named Shunzi as the kiln chief, this Shunzi wants to kowtow to thank you, and I want to sign a death contract with you." "No, let him think about it for a while, and then manage the brick kiln for a period of time, if he manages it well, and if he really wants to sign the death deed, it will not be too late to sign it at that time."
In fact, Liu He has set aside time for both parties to regret it, it can also be said to be an internship period, in this era, signing a death deed as a slave, sometimes it is not a thing that is not worth accepting, just like the kind of long-term labor contract signed with factories and other employers in later generations, and this kind of death deed is actually considered to enter the management of this family, basically saying that as long as the main family does not have an accident, he will have no worries about food and clothing within a few generations, and even after a few generations, he can find a future, and as a tenant farmer, That's not something that can come out in a few generations, unless there is really green smoke on his grave, something good will happen.
"Okay, Xiao Langjun, I have explained everything to him, and his full name is Sun Shun." "Well, Zhilu said, there's nothing to do, let's go." "Okay, let's go." The housekeeper followed Yang Heng and bent over, if he didn't bend over, Yang Heng was not too tall now.
"Butler, you go to the human market and select a few honest and sturdy men to come back, and after getting used to it at home for a while, then send out Lu to find me stones, and pull back a half-carriage for each stone, as well as these materials."
…………
This matter is really urgent, and this is something that needs to be kept secret, so Yang Heng can only slowly find the materials, and then conduct a test, which is expected to be completed within two years.
"Xiao Langjun, that's all, if there's nothing else to do, I'll go first." The housekeeper is this good, he can give ideas, but he will never say that he will not carry out Yang Heng's orders.
"That's all, you can go, but don't go to find the stone yourself, I still have some things that need to use you, by the way, there should be a little guy by my side, otherwise there won't even be a messenger."
Suddenly, Yang Heng found that there was not even a messenger around him, and Xiao Niang used to follow him around like a puppy, and let her do anything, but since she came back from Chang'an, Xiao Niang started her teaching action again, and it was basically difficult to appear in front of Yang Heng, that is, she would occasionally come to ask Yang Heng about something, and she quickly figured it out and went back quickly.
"Okay, Xiao Langjun, this time I will pay attention to these things when I go to the market, if there is a suitable child, I will buy it, Xiao Langjun, do you see if you can buy a few more."
"It's done, just two, no matter how much, it's useless." Yang Heng directly gave two followers. In the past, although he gave his younger brothers and sisters a small servant, as well as a maid, he has always hated this kind of thing, thinking that it is inhumane to some children, but during this time, he figured it out, in his previous life, some leaders still need secretaries, orderlies or something, and the little maid he is equipped with is actually just these two functions.
"Xiao Langjun, look at these two, they are both the second in the family, and they all sold themselves because of the difficulties in the family, especially, these two children have a good family education, and their families were good families in the past, but I inquired for a long time before I decided to buy them."
These are two children about ten years old, as soon as they look at their eyebrows, they know that they are two smart children, naturally, some children are not sensible, and they can also be seen from their eyebrows, even Yang Heng also thinks they are good.
"Well, yes, it's just the two of you, what's your name." "When I go back to the owner, I will ask the owner to give the small name, and the original name of the small one does not want to be used, for fear of insulting the name of the ancestors." "Forget it, I won't ask you anymore, you will be called Xiao Ming, your name is Xiao Qiang." So, Yang Heng gave these two names that were very famous in his previous life to these two. "Xie Dongjia gave the name." "Okay, okay, you don't want to be called by the owner in the future, just call me Xiaolangjun, and the rest of the family, you will get to know each other slowly."
