041 Immortal: Cement

Sure enough, Li Yi quietly began to retreat and retreated straight behind the table.

Pei Qing's eyes showed clarity, and then he was puzzled, and then he was unconvinced: What are you hiding?!

"Why are you hiding from me?" She asked, thinking about it.

Li Yi's bright eyes swept over her lips, and she replied very frankly: "I'm afraid I won't be able to control myself." ”

Pei Qing smiled softly.

"Why are you afraid that you can't control it?" She tilted her head mischievously and winked at him.

Li Yi's breath stagnated.

He has a pair of beautiful eyes, and the folds of his eyelids are clean and deep, and when he stares intently at a person, it is easy to suck the person's mind in.

At this moment, he was staring at Pei Qing deeply, making her gradually forget her words.

"I'm afraid I'll ......"

- I'm afraid I won't be able to live without you.

Li Yi's last note was swallowed by himself, and he didn't want to expose his thoughts.

He looked away.

Pei Qing pulled out her mind from his seductive gaze, and she subconsciously followed his gaze.

The window lattice blocked the eyes of the two men, and there was only a thick layer of paper on the window lattice, and nothing else.

Pei Qing was a little distracted and thought: With the limestone mine, shouldn't it be time to put the production of glass on the agenda?

Just when the two of them were silent, A-Xing's report came from outside the door.

"Princess Niangniang, the person who looked for red clay and coal has returned."

Pei Qing stood up, took the lead in getting out of the atmosphere of the room, opened the door and walked out.

Li Yi's gaze followed her silently, and he also walked out.

There are ten people who find the clay, but there are fifty people who find the coal, and the people who find the clay seem to be very happy, after all, one person can share one or two pieces of silver, but the person who finds the coal is a little unhappy, a total of ten taels of silver, fifty people a penny, how many people have each person?

The clay was red, and it was placed in ten baskets, and it was carried back by the clay seekers, basket by basket.

The charcoal is all large pieces of good charcoal, and the people who look for the charcoal each have a cloth bag and bring back a lot.

Pei Qing gave one tael of silver to each person who found the clay, and one tael of silver to each person who found the coal mine.

The charcoal team, whose face was not satisfied enough, instantly smiled, and no one expected that the princess would actually bring up the silver reward, which was really unexpected.

"Everybody did a great job." Pei Qing hinted to their group, "I think in addition to clay and charcoal in Xixian County, there must be other mineral deposits that we have not explored, it is better to do this, if you prospect together in the future, Ruiwangfu will guarantee one or two silver per person to those who have explored the mine, and the number of people is not limited, if the mineral deposits are precious, each person can also add a bounty of one or two silver." ”

The person who stood in front of her and got the silver was instantly sensational, and those who could find the mineral deposits also had a certain eyesight, although it was not easy to find the mine, but the reward after finding it was extremely happy.

These people are now determined to be full-time prospectors, no need to do work, only need to run errands, how easy is it?

Since then, Pei Qing has had a professional prospecting team with unlimited numbers and no basic salary and only commissions.

With clay, charcoal and lime, cement can be refined.

Pei Qing took Li Yi to the mason's workshop, although it was a workshop, but in fact there were only a few masons and their apprentices, and they usually only repaired the tile roofs for the people in the county, if it weren't for Pei Qing to give them monthly money, they would have starved to death with that little work.

The masons were in a panic, and they were a little excited when they saw the princess.

But Pei Qing didn't give them a chance to speak, but asked them to call the porcelain craftsmen together.

"I'm going to give you a drawing." She told the masons and porcelain makers, "It will be used to build a blast furnace, which is bigger and hotter than the kiln in which the porcelain is fired, and in the future a fairy article that can turn mud into stone." ”

Whether it is bricks or porcelain, it is not as big as the gimmick of "Xianjia" supplies.

It's not to bluff people, it's just to keep the cement formula as secret as possible.

Although the statute of limitations for this kind of secrecy will be very limited, Pei Qing hopes that the cement technology will be in the hands of Xixian for at least three or five years, and then it can be exchanged when the interests of various forces are exchanged.

However, her caution was not recognized, and all the craftsmen present were instantly dizzy when they heard that they were going to refine fairy household items for the princess.

Originally, it was forbidden to bow down in Xixian County, but these craftsmen knelt down with a puff and puff.

"The villain kneels down to thank the princess for taking the villain to immortal!" These people were crying and laughing, and they were all in a mess.

Pei Qing couldn't cry or laugh, so he had to repeatedly explain that the kind of immortal household items they made could only be used in mortal dust, and could not be taken to the sky, and these people would still stay on the land of Xixian County, so they wiped away their tears and got up from the ground with peace of mind.

After setting the tone of the team, the next step is to start making the cement high-temperature kiln step by step.

No one in Xixian County can burn bricks, and ordinary bricks and stones are not suitable for making cement high-temperature kilns, so Pei Qing once again mobilized the collective power - the whole county went out to quarry.

Under the high bounty, it took less than a day to make the stones used in the kiln, and the masons carefully built the kiln according to the drawings, and then after drying and molding, they began to put in lime, clay and cinder in proportion.

Because mining, crushing, pre-homogenization...... All the labor is used, so the people of the county have suspended their work in the past few days and devoted themselves to the huge project of making "fairy weapons" for the princess.

Everyone was busy with this with a mysterious attitude, until the cement was refined.

"What, what is this? Dusty. ”

"That's what the immortal weapon looks like?"

"Shouldn't this be a fairy item?"

"Is the princess mistaken?"

……

Looking at the unsightly cement, everyone involved in this work was in disbelief, and they had everything to say.

"It's like the mud drying out on the side of the road!"

"That's right, that's right, I'm afraid the immortal family that uses this kind of thing is not a good immortal family, right?"

"There's a weird smell too!"

"Is this really a fairy item? I think it's the Netherworld that uses this kind of thing, right? ”

……

At this time, they found that the princess had the princess bring sand and water, and then carried the fired cement to the street outside the palace.

The road outside the palace was originally renovated, and it was a smooth dirt floor, but now it has been beaten again with a tammer, and the road surface is as smooth as a mirror, although it is muddy soil, it is very smooth and smooth.

At this time, Pei Qing gave an order, and the masons mixed the cement sand and water together according to his instructions, stirred it evenly, and then threw themselves on the road surface, scraping it with the cement scrapers they had just made, and scraped about two zhang away in a short period of time.

People were even more confused, now they didn't know what the princess was going to do with the freshly burned fairy household items, they all stood by curiously and watched, one by one secretly pointing at the cement pavement.

On the morning of the second day, an early riser inadvertently stepped on something that was still muddy last night, only to find that it was not the imaginary feeling of "mud feet" sinking deeply, but a kind of solid and solid as a rock.

What's going on? The early riser instantly woke up and jumped on it in disbelief, only to find that it was not an illusion, and it was really a whole stone under his feet!

With the increase in the number of people who get up early, more and more people walk on the cement pavement, after everyone's unanimous inspection, it was found that this stone is a genuine rock, and someone can not knock it with a wooden hammer!

Boom, everyone exploded, I didn't expect the fairy magic that the princess said was used like this!

It turns out that immortal magic is really immortal magic, but they are mortal with the naked eye, and they don't recognize it!

All the people who saw the cement slurry yesterday have no eyes if they didn't run!

Earlier, everyone just secretly said that the princess Niangniang was a fairy in the sky, and after the cement incident, everyone was very sure: their princess Niangniang was the Nine Heavens Xuannu, so she went down to the county to save everyone.

Since this day, there have been sporadic scenes, and several people have quietly set up the ancestral hall of the princess at home, and began to officially worship her as a fairy, but they are all doing it secretly, and no one intends to leak it out, just kowtow to the princess Niangniang's tablet at home and pray.

The camera pans back to the scene -

How much doubt was given to Pei Qing yesterday, how much regret and fanaticism there is today, and now all those who have seen the cement baked yesterday regret why they are so short-sighted, can't they wait more before drawing conclusions?

You only need to wait one night to see the real immortal arts, and you don't need to be slapped in the face.

The bricklayer and the porcelain craftsman all threw themselves into Pei Qing's five bodies, and every craftsman fell into a frenzy, God knows that it was just a simple big furnace, but it actually made the immortal art play such a big role, turning stone powder into rock!

Since ancient times, only rocks have been crushed into stones or powder, but I have never heard of anyone who can turn stone powder back into rock.

The people of Xixian County were greatly opened, and the amazement lasted until more cement was made and cement roads began to be paved in the county seat of Xixian County.

Pei Qing began to recruit workers again, except for those who have contracted grain fields and managed cotton fields, anyone else who has no job can come to her to receive the work of a cement maker, and pay 20 yuan a day for work, as well as three meal subsidies.

In the past, when there was work for 10 yuan a day, the people who worked were already quite enthusiastic, but now the wages have doubled, and the people who work are more enthusiastic, and everyone is vying for it.

It's a pity that the population of the county is only those, and even if there are more people who want to be masons, only 100 people will eventually join the cement team.

Pei Qing's first task for the cement team was to let them build a cement road from the limestone mine to the county seat.

She needs this group of craftsmen to practice their hands first, and when they are proficient in the use of cement, the next step is to build a house.

- For example, a spacious and bright nursery.

*

At the foot of the limestone mine was a row of small wooden houses built by the miners and 10 guards who had cut down the surrounding trees, and Amon lived in one of the houses, and she lived in one room by herself.

Ever since the long knife saw the wolf's blood that night, Amon had never let go of it.

Relying on the aftermath of that night, she arranged the 50 miners clearly, and no one dared to disobey and disobey her.

The work in the mine was very intense, everyone got up at dawn every day, and worked until it was dark before returning to the house, and the 10 guards took turns to cook for these people, and the other days they were in good order, but this morning they found that there was not enough food for the day.

Ameng was a little worried.

If she sends these guards back to the city to get food, and if they don't listen to her, and say that after they go away, won't the rest of the miners turn against her? After all, she's a woman, and they're 50 men!

As the sky brightened, Ah Meng's mood became more and more anxious, and he felt a little helpless.

This situation is not the same as encountering wolves, encountering wolves only need to rush, but now it is a dilemma, take care of this head and not take care of that head, what should I do?

At this moment, someone from Xixian came.

It was Wang Ergou, who was in charge of going to the mountains to investigate the situation of medicinal herbs, and Wang Ergou was followed by 100 people, each carrying two baskets, and the baskets were full of food.

In addition to fruits and vegetables, they also brought bacon, chicken, duck, and even a lot of pickles.

"This is a pickle made by the princess's exclusive secret recipe, and the first thing that comes to mind after the lady is ready is to give it to you to eat, because everyone is mining is heavy physical work, and it is not good if there is no salt." Wang Ergou's first sentence after seeing Ah Meng was this.

Ah Meng looked at the endless supply and his eyes were hot for a while, and he was choked and speechless.

I only heard Wang Ergou say: "Niangniang said, it is not easy for Miss Ameng to lead a team to mine, and the whole county is pointing to the limestone mine you dug out, so you must rest assured, Niangniang will definitely not call the mine missing something!" Now the princess sent someone to make a fairy item called cement out of this stone, oh, you don't know how amazing this thing is, the first night it was still a puddle of mud, and the second morning it was a whole hard stone! Tsk, we are the only one in the world, Xixian cement! ”

With Wang Ergou's excited description, Ah Meng seemed to be able to see a strange scene, the stone they produced turned into mud, and the mud turned into another stone...... It's incredible, indeed.

Even dreamers have never dreamed like this!

"Does the princess have any other orders?" Ah Meng sniffed and asked Wang Ergou expectantly.

Wang Ergou carefully took out a booklet from the basket and handed it to her.

"The mother said that you should read this booklet carefully, and you will write a report to her when you go back."

Ah Meng took the booklet, only to find that it was written in large letters "Limestone Mine Safety Production Regulations".

Is this another kind of immortal art?

She opened the page expectantly.
