Juyue, the king of Shu, who had chased the two kings of Ninglu out of Lingnan, led his expeditionary force to pull out. Since he went to mourn the old saint, he has not returned to the palace for three years, leaving 20,000 horses to guard the two kings of Ninglu in Lingnan.

On the way back, I also encountered a large number of displaced people who moved south, and learned of the flood of the Great Yellow River. Families who are not wealthy, this is even worse.

Without the joy of the victory of the unification of the south, the more anxious he became, the king of Shu sighed with his subordinates from time to time, half of the 40 mansions in the south were affected, and the south bank of the Yellow River burst the embankment I don't know how many.

A group of martial artists, if you want to talk about fighting, then you can fight wherever you say, engage in the economy, we can't get through, or, ask the think tank?

After being silent for a few days, one day, when the king of Shu met with the middle and lower-level officers, he said that he had something to say.

For Heiwa, who has been dealing with bricks and ceramics for decades in her previous life, the composition of cement is not too familiar.

Especially the calciner, this is also a lot of his ceramic factory, he invited back the master, but also explained to him in detail the structure and function of the ceramic calciner and the cement calciner.

The main raw materials of cement are: limestone and clay. It is made of limestone and clay in proportion to grind and mix, and the mixture at this time is called raw meal. Then calcination is carried out, the general temperature is about 1450 degrees, and the product after calcination is called clinker.

The clinker and gypsum are ground together and mixed in proportion to be called cement. Iron ore powder or coal ash is better hardened if it is added to the raw meal in proportion.

The core technology is the proportion of raw materials, as well as the calciner and temperature control.

Seeing the people displaced due to the flood, and watching the river embankment due to technical construction reasons and the heavy rain is prone to flooding, Heiwa feels that in the dark, the skills in the previous life may need to be used.

After a few days of experimentation, a water tank made of simple cement was carried by the king of Shu.

At first, everyone didn't see anything brilliant about this water tank, the color was gray and white, and no one could see what it was made of, but when Heiwa gave a general a hoe and hit the water tank hard, it didn't move, which attracted attention.

Heiwa saw that the things obtained by chance before enlisting in the army (making up stories) were very strong, and now I think about it, it is used to pave roads, or to build river embankments, which have a good effect, and are hereby presented to the king of Shu.

If you want to say that the king of Shu is the most lacking in talents now, that is, generals, who have been training in Shu for several years, and now they are actually fighting, and they have been fighting for almost three years. And what talent is he lacking the most? One is local governance, and the other is business talent.

And Heiwa's contribution brought him a major resurgence. He is already starting to think differently, such good things can be used to build bridges and pave roads, and can also be used to build houses. The market in the south is so big, and there is no one in the whole country, isn't it?

"Lord Wang, the most important thing is: at present, although we have taken the entire south, but from Shu to Lu and Ningdi in the past, the farthest will take several months to reach, and if this cement builds two roads to connect the two places, then our chariot and horse marching speed should be able to save at least half of the time." The King of Shu couldn't help but get excited when he thought of this, and applauded loudly!

"We can build cement workshops in Ludi and Ningdi, as well as the junction of the three places, and at the same time exert force, so many displaced people can also participate in paving roads, and give wages that can sustain their livelihoods, which can not only solve the speed of our paving, but also solve the problem of the livelihood of the homeless.....

King Shu's eyes lit up: "Mr. Yuan Qian, you are a great talent!" The king will give you full authority to handle the cement workshop, and when I return to Shudi, I want to see the first cement mill and the first cement road you built! "Subordinates receive orders!"

The southwest is a large area of cement raw materials, limestone, clay, iron ore powder, there is no shortage.

After completing the ancient traditional Chinese characters during the war and being able to read and write, during the return trip, Heiwa's cement workshop plan and infrastructure plan were opened.

In the last winter, the army finally returned to Chengdu, and when it went out, it was less than 100,000 troops, and it was captured while fighting, and there were continuous conscriptions, and now the king of Shu has 300,000 troops. In Ludi and Ningdi, 100,000 horses were released each, and 100,000 were brought back to Shu.

Mr. Yuan Qian was in full swing and chose a downwind outlet, and built the first cement factory in the Great Xia Dynasty on a barren mountain far away from the dwellings.

Specially asked the king of Shu for 10,000 disabled soldiers, these are more or less disabled soldiers on the battlefield, and they have found a state-owned enterprise iron rice bowl for everyone, which makes the reputation of the king of Shu to a higher level, especially the grassroots soldiers.

When the King of Shu returned to the palace to chat with the princess, he mentioned Heiwa:

"Princess, don't you know how serious this flood is, the people are displaced, it's really devastating! If Mr. Yuan Qian's cement is successfully built, we will be able to keep him from breaking for ten years! ”

"I know the person you are talking about, his daughter-in-law is also very powerful, when Chengdu Mansion was besieged, he can help us a lot, my mother's six-stone bow, everyone can pull it away!"

"These two couples are really the lucky stars of my Shu land, and I am very talented in Bashu!"

The king of Shu made a heavy note on the couple's merit book.

Waiting until the winter moon, the first batch of cement was baked, knowing that the demand would not be small, Heiwa built ten high-temperature furnaces in one go.

The first batch of cement was quickly delivered to the official road on the outskirts of Chengdu Prefecture, and was built in sections by migrant workers (displaced people) organized by the government. In addition to cement, river sand, and gravel are also in great demand, and after the flood, countless river sand has been washed into the downstream river embankment, and it has also brought a trace of business opportunities after the disaster.

In just ten days, a 10-kilometer-long, 8-meter-wide cement road was built, with a small wooden fence in the middle of the road, and pedestrians and vehicles to the right in an orderly manner.

On the day when the cement road could be walked, the king of Shu also participated in the first line, and the royal carriage drove on the cement road, which was smooth and fast.

The nine-year-old son of the King of Shu, the old god said: "Father, this cement road is hard to get!" "It's not like it's going to be built, starting from this road, how many merchants have come to inquire and negotiate.

The plan given by Heiwa, the construction (cost) of the national highway in the three places is subcontracted to the business, and the merchant will enjoy the amount of cement for sale as much as the contracted road section, and the cement factory price will be unified across the country, and the government will only give one merchant the right to sell.

The profits from the sale of cement by the king of Shu can also be used to pay for the operation of the cement plant and the construction of the river embankment south of the Dahuang River.

This plan was taken by the King of Shu at a glance, this is not just a talent, this is a genius, raw materials, technology, in the hands of the core personnel, and there is no need to bother to lay sales channels, cash in stock. A big remark in the credit book.

The uncle of the king of Shu, the big boss of the Cao Gang, went to Shu in person, and the bowl of rice in cement was too fragrant, so he asked for points.
