Li Zhao returned to Chang'an Township, and Ah Chao came to report that the silk thread had broken through to a diameter of three millimeters.

This is a good sign, if you can break through three millimeters, you can break through one millimeter, this is a matter of time, that is, the problem of wires can be solved, then it is necessary to equip them with rubber next.

So, he went into the yard, looked for an open place, bought a large amount of rubber from the store, and piled it up into a small mountain.

Soon, he beckoned Ah Chao to come, Ah Chao came in and took a look, his eyes were very surprised, but he was not used to it, the young master always made something inexplicable, as for how he got it, he wouldn't ask, because he knew that the young master wouldn't say.

"This thing is called rubber, you should also know what electricity is from the mouth of the students of the electricity school, electricity is very scary, it makes people tremble to the touch, if it is more powerful, it can also cause death, so its carrier wire must be isolated, so that people do not touch it"

Li Zhao patiently explained to Ah Chao, Ah Chao seemed to understand whether he understood or not, but he understood one thing, that is, the wire they produced is called wire, the wire can conduct electricity, as long as the copper wire is wrapped, it can isolate electricity, and the rubber in the young master's mouth is the thing that isolates electricity.

"Understand?" Seeing Ah Chao's expression that seemed to understand or not, Li Zhao asked.

"Understood." Ah Chao's tone was a little weak.

Li Zhao smiled, and instilled so many epoch-making things in him at once, it was normal for him to be difficult to accept for a while, but with the production of wires, he would slowly understand, so he didn't say more.

"Uh-huh!" Li Zhao nodded, and handed over a piece of paper, this is how to refine rubber, how to make wire sheath secrets, just now he wrote it in very simple words.

Ah Chao looked at the content on the paper, sometimes shaking his head, sometimes nodding, that expression was really a bit brain-burning.

Li Zhao smiled again, and without much emphasis, suddenly, remembering something, he asked:

"How's the steel being studied?" In order to build the hydropower station, he gave the task of producing cement and bricks to Shen Gongzi, and the steel smelting to Ah Chao, and he wanted to know how it went.

"We are trying to smelt, and we think it will be successful in a while."

For the matter of iron smelting, Ah Chao showed a confident expression, Li Zhao is not surprised, since the construction of the smelting base, Ah Chao has always been in charge, naturally he must know a lot about this, steel is also iron, but the smelting methods and processes are different, plus the cheats he gave, smelting success is inevitable.

"Okay, you have to hurry up, be sure to develop steel and two-inch wires in the shortest possible time, and then enter mass production, and the matter of the hydropower station can not be delayed any longer."

"Young master, don't worry, within a month, you will definitely have energy."

"Good!" Li Zhao showed a satisfied smile, Ah Chao was greatly encouraged, this was the young master's affirmation of him, so he left energetically.

"Housekeeper, housekeeper" After Ah Chao left, Li Zhao shouted.

"Young master, the old slave is here!"

The housekeeper had already seen the young master, and when he heard the shouting, he walked over in a hurry.

"Is Shen Gongzi back?"

With the steel and wires in place, he became concerned about cement and bricks.

"When I came back not long ago, I saw that the young master was not there, so he said a few words to the old slave and left, leaving in a hurry."

"Oh! What was said? ”

"He said that the cement has been made and is being mass-produced at the moment, and there are bricks, which are being fired."

Well!

Li Zhao nodded and groaned, this result is satisfactory, in just a short period of time, Shen Gongzi has such an achievement, which shows that he has devoted himself wholeheartedly, and it is no wonder that he left in a hurry.

Happy events one after another, it can be seen that God is helping him.

The progress of the hydropower station is very smooth, but there is no news from the wealthy and wealthy commercial firms.

After the firm was handed over to Gao Fugui, there was no news, he was usually busy, and he didn't have time to pay attention, so he asked: "Does Gao Fugui have any news?" ”

The housekeeper really deserves to be a housekeeper, and he cares about everything, which shows that he is also heartbroken for Chang'an Township.

"I didn't see anyone, but during this time, there were a lot of people who came to order tongziyi, fertilizer, rice seeds, and the sales of paper have skyrocketed."

Oh!

This is also good news.

Since the siege of the thief army, the sales volume of the industry in Chang'an Township was once prosperous, but the good times did not last long, and it prospered for a period of time, and then it reached saturation, which is the saturation of Xianyang City and its surroundings.

The task he gave to Gao Fugui was to open up the sales channels of the Six Kingdoms, and it seemed to have been slightly effective.

This is a good sign, once the sales channel is opened, with the unique products of Chang'an Township, it will definitely sell well in the six countries, and it will be a unique situation at that time.

Therefore, the production of Chang'an Township cannot be stagnant, and it is necessary to expand the workshop and increase the output.

It seemed to see the young master's thoughts, and the housekeeper reported: "Young master, you are busy during this time, you can't take care of too many things, the old man and the old slave make their own decisions, various industries have expanded, and farmers have also recruited a lot, and in the coming year, you should be able to meet the challenge of sales." ”

The housekeeper said, his face was full of smiles, he was happy to see such a development in Chang'an Township, or in his hands.

Li Zhao gave him a thumbs up, and instead of being angry at his self-assertion, he praised him a lot.

However, the butler's joy did not last long, and he pulled down his face.

Li Zhao was puzzled, so he asked, "Did you encounter something unpleasant?" ”

The housekeeper snorted his mouth, as if he had an indescribable endurance, and a little hatred of iron and steel, and nodded slightly.

Li Zhao looked at it and twitched, today, his prestige in Daqin has been opened, no one should dare to provoke it, why does the housekeeper have this expression? Could it be that someone has made something unpleasant in Chang'an Township?

Immediately, his face turned cold and he asked, "Who made us unhappy?" ”
