After the Yugan City God's Temple, outside the gate of the primary school.

Ma Jiu's Hun family stood beside the donkey, muttering in his heart that there was nothing wrong with this, right? It stands to reason that Mrs. Qian is a widow, and it is a bit unseemly to come to this old man's school.

But having said that, this school field was brought out by the third brother of the Li family, and the county lord agreed to use it for him, and the group exercises trained here are all eaten by the Li family and worn by the Li family, and they are no different from the family.

In this case, it seems reasonable for the housewife to come and make rounds. As she pondered this, she watched the five eyes of the crab king guarding the door spin towards the sky.

couldn't help but smile and said, "Lao Wang, it's not like you haven't seen my sister-in-law and me, what are you doing with these eyeballs?" ”

"Ma family, I'm not hiding from you." King Crab Wu hurriedly explained softly: "The master mother is in the car, I, I, I'm afraid that one of them won't pay attention to ......, so I don't know where to put this eyeball." ”

Xiao Qian and Needle listened to the amusement inside, and Needle wanted to tease him, so he opened the curtain in the car and asked:

"This big brother Wang, the young master led the team to go for many days, and it is said that there were two groups of people later, why didn't you go? I'm afraid I can't walk and can't carry knives and guns? ”

"Well, this little sister can't say nonsense, that's wrongful death. We all tried our legs, feet, and strength before we came in. It's just that...... I don't know why, but from the first day I was asked to guard the door, and I kept it for a long time.

The day before yesterday, Li Biao came back with a lot of family letters and silver tickets, everyone has made a fortune, how can I not want to go?

It's just that San Lang left the rules, and our team said that it was forbidden to do whatever it was called. I...... Do I have to obey orders? ”

"Lao Wang is right, you answered very well!" Suddenly, a man's voice came, and the needle immediately withdrew his hand, and the curtain fell with a "snap".

"Zhu Qing, the secretary of the secretary office and the secretary of the march, greet the main mother." Zhu Qing bowed and crossed his hands, and then said to Ma Jiuhun's family:

"Sister-in-law of the Ma family, this is not a convenient place, bring in the car quickly and I will help you find a place to park it."

After that, he opened the camp gate, led him in front, and when he came to the side hall converted into a storehouse, he called a groom of about forty years old to come and catch and tie the cart.

Then he came to the curtain and asked softly, "Is there something to ask about the mistress today?" Ask questions here or find a clean place? ”

"My brother has been gone for many days, and I am very worried, so I want to come over and ask Mr. if there is any news about him recently?"

"If you go back to your mother, since Li Biao came back and left last time, there is no new news yet."

Xiao Qian pondered for a moment: "Brother said that you can consult Yang Lian Flail if you have something." ”

"Yang Baihu? He doesn't live on campus at the moment, and he is at the Renli Inn on weekdays. The housewife will wait a while, Zhu Qing will arrange to take you over to find him, okay? ”

After getting Xiao Qian's consent, Zhu Qing hurriedly returned to his signing room to explain a few sentences, and then came out. He walked in front, and the donkey cart followed behind, and thus came to the Renli Inn.

Han An went to the school to teach, Su Siniang went out to buy, and Sun Qian'er, the counter guy, heard that it was Li Sanlang's mother who wanted to see Yang Dayi, so he hurriedly saluted first and told:

"Yang Dalang is staying up in the back, and the villain leads the eldest lady over." After speaking, lead the way ahead.

Zhu Qing bowed down and said, "Master, please go with Brother Sun, and your subordinates are waiting in this hall." Sun Qian'er brought Xiao Qian's family, needle and Ma family to the back.

When I went to a hidden courtyard at the back, I heard shouting inside.

Sun Qian'er turned around and said softly: "Yang Dalang's identity is not ordinary, so he arranged this place for him, and he can't see the courtyard from the surrounding heights, which is relatively safe."

After the eldest lady went in, she waited for a while, and Yang Gong had instructed not to disturb him when practicing, and to wait until he stopped before summoning. You can watch from the sidelines, and the villain is waiting outside the courtyard. ”

"I'm sorry for you." Xiao Qian said, and entered the door with Needle and Ma's family. Turning the shadow wall, I saw a shirtless man, wearing a calf-nosed trousers, dancing a spear up and down.

She hurriedly raised her wide sleeves to cover her face, but quietly poked her head out to look. I saw that the man was tall and not like a southerner, his body was wet with sweat, and his muscles were bulging.

Xiao Qian wanted to see what the man looked like, so he made a gesture for the needle to stand by the door and not move, and he took a few steps forward.

I saw that this gun was like a dragon and a snake, fierce and changeable, and I saw that Xiao Qian forgot his mind, and unconsciously took a few steps forward.

The Ma family was about to scream when she saw it, and suddenly the gun made a move of the golden snake and shook its tail, and the head of the gun brushed the ground to Xiao Qian's side, she subconsciously lowered her head, the tip of the gun knocked off the hairpin ring, and her hair hung down like a waterfall.

"Oops!" Needle and Ma Jia shouted in unison, which startled Yang Dayi, he didn't find that there was a person in the courtyard, and he didn't expect that this person had already gone to the range of his "circle".

The gun is a long soldier, so it seems that it is still far away from the other party, but in fact, it is just a blink of an eye between the moves.

Xiao Qian didn't know martial arts, thinking that it didn't matter if he was far away, but he didn't expect that he had already entered the killing range of the spear within a few breaths.

This is one of the reasons why Yang Dayi instructed him not to go to the hospital to disturb him when he usually practice-to avoid accidental injury.

Yang Dayi hurriedly put away the gun and ran over, leaned over with concern and asked, "Are you okay?" ”

"Yang Baihu, retreat! That's Saburo's aunt! ”

The call of the Ma family startled Yang Dayi, and he hurriedly retreated to a zhang away, bowed down and hugged his fists: "I don't know if the master mother has arrived, Yang is rude, and I hope to forgive my sins!" ”

He rushed to him in a hurry, a stone's throw away from Xiao Qian's family, the man's body odor and breathing made her blush, but fortunately, half of it was covered by her hair and didn't let them see it.

Xiao Qian stabilized his mind, got up and slowly returned the salute: "It's because the concubine is not in good health, and she has disturbed the general's martial arts." Sins, sins! ”

"Uh......." Yang Dayi was not careful, but he didn't know what to say.

At this time, Sun Qian'er also ran in when she heard the movement, and told him: "Da Lang will go back to the house to scrub first, and the eldest lady has specially come to you to have something to say." ”

"Oh, yes! Okay, okay, please...... The housewife waits for a while, and Yang will come! Yang Dayi put down his weapon in a hurry and went into the house to scrub and change clothes.

The needle hurriedly helped Xiao Qian sit down on the stone bench in the courtyard and re-cut her hair. Ma Jiuhun's family complained about Yang Dayi, but he was really like his name.

"It's okay, sister-in-law, don't blame him, it's because I forgot to get too close when I saw him playing with a gun. I also have to trouble my sister-in-law to come to the front and help us get a pot of tea. ”

When Sun Qian'er saw this, she also said with interest that she would go and get a few snacks and dried fruits, so she went with the Ma family.

The hair here has just been tidied up, but it seems to echo, the "squeak" sound sounded, Yang Dayi walked out wearing the arrow sleeves of Shi Qing, and looked at Xiao Qian, both of them felt embarrassed, blushed and recounted, and sat down on both sides of the stone table.

Xiao Qian first asked some people who lived here to get used to, whether there were any letters from home, and who else was like that over there.

After the Ma family and Sun Qian'er spread tea, snacks and dried fruits, they retreated outside the door. Yang Dayi arched his hand and asked, "Madame is here today, but is there any news from San Lang?" ”

"There is no news, but there is a legend." After speaking, Xiao Qian looked at the needle, and the needle was busy telling the news that he heard Li Dan do the inspection yesterday.

"Isn't that a good thing?"

"Having said that, there was a lot of noise in the city yesterday, and it was said that the rebels had occupied Dongxiang. So ......," Xiao Qian bowed his head embarrassedly:

"I'm a little unsure again. Is this the official army or the traitors more powerful, do you want to get San Lang back quickly?

My heart is up and down, and I don't know the essentials. Because my brother said before leaving, I can talk to you about something, so I ....... ”

"Oh, I see." Yang nodded carelessly, calmed down and thought about it, "I don't think Madame needs to worry too much. Battlefield victories and defeats are common. The thieves in Fuzhou and Shangrao are not necessarily the same gang.

Moreover, the thieves were erratic, suddenly attacked all parts of Fuzhou, and there were also cases where the city fell unprepared.

If San Lang really did the inspection, it means that he has made a contribution to winning the battle, and the thieves over there must have suffered his loss. In this way, there is no need to worry. ”

"Alas, isn't this originally about escorting grain and grass, why is there a war again? Could it be that the officers and soldiers have few troops, and they have to go to the battlefield to fight? ”

Xiao Qian said worriedly, and secretly glanced at Yang Dayi's thick hands on the stone table.

Yang smiled carelessly: "It's really a worry about the mother of a thousand miles, Brother Dan is a good blessing!" ”

"Then what should I do, my sister left such a child, and it is also my lifelong dependence, how can I not care?" Xiao Qian said and sighed.

Raised his eyes and saw the big gun just now: "How did I hear my brother say that your weapon is a chain flail?" So when I saw you using a gun just now, I was still wondering if I was looking for the wrong person, right? ”

"There's a rider below, and that's a horseman." Yang explained:

"The most proud is to use a chain flail, but like spears, spears, halberds, and long knives, I actually can use them, and today I want to review my marksmanship, but I unexpectedly collided with my wife."

At the mention of this, both of them were embarrassed again.

Seeing that the two of them blushed and turned red, Needle felt funny, and deliberately said: "Yang Dalang is so embarrassed, why don't you do something for my housewife to atone for your sins." ”

"Oh, that's right! If you have any sends, even if you open your mouth, you have no other skills, you have to have strength, you have to run, this makes it! When she heard what he said, she smiled.

Xiao Qian glared at the needle: "When can you be my master?" ”

"You really are!" The needle hit her and said softly: "I'm worried about San Lang's safety, so it's better to ask Yang Dalang to go and see for yourself." ”

"If Mrs. sends, Yang is willing to take this trip!" Yang Dayi hurriedly clenched his fists and said.

"This, don't listen to this Nizi's nonsense, this mountain is high and the road is far away, and ............ is still making trouble outside."

"Hah! Mrs. forgot that Yang was born in the border army and had fought among tens of millions of people, so what was the fear of some thieves!

It's just that a certain horse has been given to San Lang, if it is convenient, please ask Mrs. to help me find another horse, and I will go back in a few days! ”

"This, make?"

"Make!"

"That is ......." Xiao Qian ordered the Ma family to come to the front and invite Zhu Qing to come over, and then told him:

"I asked Yang Dalang to deliver a letter to San Lang and visit, and you can help find a horse with good feet to ride with him." After that, let him do it.

I asked Sun Qianer for pen, ink and paper, and wrote a letter to the county government, explaining that he sent his family Ding Yang Yi to the White Horse Temple to repay his vows and inspect the properties under the names of the surrounding prefectures and counties, and asked the county government to issue a road guide.

Then handed it over to the Ma family, told her to go back and do it, and asked her to go back and get fifty taels of silver tickets to spend on Yang Dayi's road.

"Sister Li doesn't have to be so troublesome, San Lang has money deposited with me, and I will pay Yang Dalang for it." Before the voice fell, no one had already appeared, and it was Han An's daughter-in-law Su Siniang who bought it back.

The two sides have met, Su Siniang told Xiao Qian's Li Dan to let him take care of a public account, put the money on the counter and buy shares, and the interest was used to fund the poverty of these brothers in Beicheng and so on.

"I'll just take it out of the account, there is just a new car to be sent to San Lang for a look, and Brother Yang can go with the Wu brothers."

Xiao Qian was overjoyed, she was worried that it would be dangerous for Yang Dayi to go out alone: "If you have a companion together, it will naturally be better!" ”

It was agreed to leave the day after tomorrow, and Xiao Qian was invited to the front to talk to Su Siniang.

I thought she was just the shopkeeper of the store, but after learning that Li Dan learned calligraphy and painting from Han An, I knew that there was also an identity of "teacher", no wonder I called myself "sister" just now.

Xiao Qian thanked him deeply, and the two of them had a new year's teeth, and it was indeed Su Siniang who was longer. After a little while, I got in the car and went home satisfied.

When Han An arrived home, he saw Su Siniang standing at the door and watched a donkey cart go away, and asked curiously: "Whose lady is this, can you send it in person?" ”

"Li Sanlang's adoptive mother is also his aunt, who is what people call the Xiaoqian family in the second room of the Li Mansion."

"Oh? She never showed up, how can she ...... today? ”

Worried about the safety of his adopted son, he specially came to ask Yang Dalang to help him go to Guangxin Mansion to visit. How is it, this little lady is really good to Li Sanlang! Su Siniang sighed and said, "He can be regarded as a loving and righteous person!" ”

"So, did she see Yang Dayi?"

"Well, it was Li Dan who asked her to find Yang Lian in something to do, and Mr. Zhu Qing brought her over."

"Hey, this Li Sanlang. He has no taboos! Han An smiled bitterly.

"What's so taboo about that?" Su Siniang glared at her husband, and suddenly smiled again: "Besides, even if something happens, I think it's good." ”

As he spoke, he told Yang Dayi that he heard from Sun Qian'er that he played a gun and knocked down Xiao Qian's hairpin ring and broke up the cloud bun, and then asked mysteriously: "You say, is this some kind of fate from God?" ”

"What's the fate?"

"Oh, one is unmarried, the other is widowed, if you can pinch together......

Han An was taken aback: "Don't say this, if it spreads, the Xiao Qian clan will definitely be in big trouble."

You go and tell Sun Qian'er to tell him to keep his mouth shut for me, don't lead to death because of a misunderstanding, that's not a trick! ”

"I'm just talking, you don't know how the two of them look like a ......good match when they sit together."

"Shut up!"

After a night, Li Dan came to the construction site and watched a group of people standing in front of the furnace and air duct built yesterday and looking at each other.

The mud that was soft and mushy yesterday is now so hard that it's hard to break off. Chen Sanwen muttered to himself: "Li Sanlang, you let me see it again!" ”

Wu Mao looked left and right, and when he turned around, he saw Li Dan holding his hand, so he arched his hand and asked: "The inspection is really a wonderful hand, it can turn mud into stone overnight!" Dare to ask what's the mystery here? ”

"There is no mystery, but it is the use of the principle that slaked lime can be sintered with sand when it meets water, the slag has many pores, which can help the sand to hold together, and the gypsum and clay are conducive to smoothing and shaping. That's all! Li Dan smiled:

"It was the inspiration that the day when limestone came out of nowhere. In fact, there is no slag and it is not tight, and a similar effect can be achieved with pebbles.

The composition can be adjusted, I estimate that more gypsum and clay should be smoother, too much sand will be a little looser, and pebbles instead of slag will be heavier and stronger.

In addition, if you don't use bamboo bars, iron bars, or even steel bars, then even a 20-zhang high building can be built. These things are free to try, and you can try to verify them slowly. ”

"Good, good." Chen Sanwen rubbed his hands excitedly: "It's really a good thing, with it, it will be much faster to build and build walls, and it will save labor." Saburo, does this thing have a name? ”

"Well, it's just a temporary idea, but I didn't think about the name, I think it can be called 'cement', and it's vivid and easy to understand.

For example, the pond where you are mixing the brewing is plastered with cement all around, which is not only waterproof, but also clean and easy to clean. Li Dan patted his head after speaking:

"By the way, go back and get some plastering on the wall, I guess it's good for protecting the wall. This thing is not afraid of rain! ”

"So, we can use this stove and blower today? And what do they do? It can't be ironmaking, right? Wu Mao asked, looking at the nine-foot-tall furnace.

At this time, Li Dan noticed that there was a sturdy man behind him who was constantly looking at the kiln, and his heart moved, and he asked, "Who is this?" ”

"Oh, he's Hengfeng Liao Ji's buddy Zhou Guisheng, and he came to deliver the material this time." Wu Mao said.

Li Dan smiled and nodded, beckoning him to come closer. After saluting, Zhou Guisheng said: "My shopkeeper asked the villain to say hello to the inspection, I heard that the inspection of the young hero, I didn't expect to be so knowledgeable, and the villain also wants to learn more." ”

Wu Mao felt that his face was a little bad, the craftsmanship of this era was private property, and others could not peep at will.

What kind of words did you guys say, he was a little rude in Wu Mao's position, and he couldn't get off the stage, and he blamed the shopkeeper Liao in his heart.

I know that he wonders why these things are needed in the army, so he sends a guy to investigate, but it is embarrassing for you to say it. Wu Mao couldn't help but look at Li Dan apologetically.

Unexpectedly, Li Dan didn't care, he had knowledge in his heart for hundreds of years, where was he afraid that this guy would take a look at it and learn a little bit of skin? Not only did he not blame, but nodded and said:

"A soldier who doesn't want to be a general is not a good soldier, you want to learn more, it can be seen that you are motivated." After speaking, he turned around and asked Chen Sanwen: "The master who built this kiln was found for you by Tie Linglong?" ”

"Exactly, if it weren't for him, I'd really be a bit of a layman." Chen Sanwen nodded and replied.

"Okay, that's good! Give him a long treatment and leave it under your hands, this kind of work will be indispensable in the future! Go and invite him to watch it together, so that I don't have to teach it later. ”

After Li Dan finished speaking, he turned to Zhou Guisheng: "You are making porcelain, you should know that the fire temperature of pottery and porcelain is different." ”

"Yes!" Zhou Guisheng nodded: "The fire temperature of pottery is lower than that of porcelain." ”

"Today I'm going to melt this quartz together with feldspar and other things to make a special material, like glass. You've come just in time, and you may be able to help me wait. ”

After speaking, he pointed to the basket of fine grains of sand: "These are the materials that have been crushed, ground and screened yesterday, and there are black lead, kaolin and clay in them.

I need you to make clay embryos from them, and fire them into two or three crucibles for melting quartz. The size and style of the firing are as shown in my drawing, is it possible? ”

"This is the work of the villain, and the adults can rest assured that it will be handed over to you before the evening. It's just that this man ...... manpower? ”

"I want a few people, Mr. Chen will arrange it for you." After speaking, Li Dan nodded at Chen Sanwen, and Chen Sanwen immediately turned around and called a subordinate to take this person to prepare. Then Li Dan said to Chen Sanwen:

"The quartz needs to be crushed and ground, and then it is removed from iron by magnetic rollers, dried and mixed with kaolin, lime, feldspar, soda ash, miscanthus salt, etc. Tomorrow the crucible will be ready to use.

Remember, put three taels of kaolin, four taels of quartz, three coins of lime, one tael of six coins of alkali, one and eight cents of feldspar, four coins of miscanthus salt, and two cents of charcoal powder in one pound of material. ”

He said here that Chen Sanwen hurriedly took notes for fear of missing a word.

"So, what are we going to do today?" Finally, he asked Li Dan.

"Today? The crucible was fired, and the kiln was burned with fire. It can be fired to the temperature of the pottery. After Li Dan finished speaking, he turned to look at the animal blower at the other end.

It turned out that there was an adobe-walled room next to the shed, and two donkeys rested in it.

Wu Mao raised his eyes and saw the wooden turntable and the gear driven on the top, which was connected to a slightly smaller gear, with a rocker lever up and down to make the bellows tuyere at the other end constantly open and close, pressing air into the air inlet of the furnace.

"What a clever component!" He screamed.

"It was temporary, hasty. In the future, we will do better things, that is, 100 steels can be easily produced! Li Dan said lightly:

"Things like these smelting and other things rely on high temperatures.

One piece of fuel, one piece of pressing more pure air into the hearth, one piece of crucible, another piece of refractory bricks.

With that, everything else is fine. For example, the animal-powered blower of today's envoys, when we go back to the Xinjiang River, we can use the river to engage in hydropower, which is more economical and the effect is more stable. ”

"Hey, Lord Inspector, when will you make the pencil you promised earlier?" Chen Sanwen has not forgotten this incident.

Li Dan clapped his hand: "I originally thought to talk about it in two days, since you are in such a hurry, we have ready-made black lead." In that case, I'll go back tonight and draw you the ingredients, the recipe, and the machines you need.

However, this thing is in a hurry, because after the material is crushed and mixed, it has to go through the process of plastic pressing, drying and static, molding, drying, wood wax oil soaking, kiln baking, wood molding, polishing, etc., which is not as simple as you think!

However, some things, some equipment, institutions and materials can be prepared. I'll bring the drawings tomorrow and tell you them all. ”

Some people died, but not completely......
