Boyang Chess Club is not doing well now.

Those who used to come to play chess often are now shy.

Most of these people live on money from their families, and there are not many scholars who are really willing to make a living.

Moreover, since the appearance of the white tiger robe and the news that Chen Ze announced that he was in charge of Qingzhou, the number of readers on the street has decreased visibly.

Not to mention that the scholars can't see it, and the children of the powerful basically don't dare to come out and hang around.

Chen Ze also wondered, he hadn't seen Li Qinwei miss him a little bit for so many days.

It can't be that you have already heard the wind and run away, right?

Chen Ze thought that he had not revealed his identity, and there were only so many people who knew that he was the son of the world.

Although it is the number one brother who has been on the wanted notice, the portrait of the wanted warrant is actually slightly abstract under normal circumstances, mainly emphasizing facial features.

Sister-in-law Qin and Qin Jinke basically looked up and didn't look down, and they could recognize it as Chen Ze at a glance.

But the wanted notice has not been on the wall for more than seven days, and under normal circumstances, there will not be too much public memory, and after the wanted notice is withdrawn later, it means that the person has been caught, and naturally no one will pay attention.

And if Li Qin really knows that he is the son of the world, then Guan Pinghou should have run away with his family, how can he dare to stay in Qingzhou?

It should be that he was grounded and couldn't go out.

It's good, the young man is waiting at home.

The Qingzhou Labor Reform Division will definitely reserve a VIP for you, and enjoy a luxurious and exclusive indefinite package.

In fact, Chen Ze felt that it was better to kill goods like Li Qin, so as not to stay and bring disaster to the world, so he sent his physique to the labor camp Chen Ze felt that he couldn't do much work if he wasted food, but Lu Qingyun didn't let him.

Forget it, we'll talk about it then.

Since there was no one in the chess club, Chen Ze directly asked Xu Customs to go with him when he went to the store.

Xu Hai did so honestly, and he didn't dare to say much, so he closed the door and followed behind his buttocks, looking quite nervous.

Chen Ze didn't bother to say much, and arranged for the people of the special service team to go out of the city directly.

Qingzhou is a city within a city.

The innermost is the old city of ancient Qingzhou, not big, there are people farming and farming, with the development of the times and commercial needs, it was expanded in the Dali period, and the area increased, and the Sui Yuan Emperor period because the emperor worked hard, and carried out agricultural and commercial reforms, exempted from taxes, a large number of new land, encouraged fertility, ushered in a population explosion and commercial boom, Qingzhou from the initial 10,000 fixed population instantly skyrocketed to 70,000, the treasury was sufficient, and the Sui Yuan Emperor began the third expansion.

This time, Qingzhou was directly expanded to the extent that it could accommodate a full 100,000 resident population, and it took six full years to expand alone, and Qingzhou's population exploded again, with a total of 200,000 permanent residents at its peak.

However, after Emperor Yuan of Sui hiccuped, the Great Sui began to decline, but even so, the foundation laid by Emperor Yuan of Sui still benefited future generations.

The most intuitive embodiment is that almost all types of technical jobs can be found in Qingzhou, and the base is large and the labor force is relatively sufficient.

When Chen Ze first came to the cement workshop, he saw a large grass shed by the river, in addition to the grass shed, there was also a camp tent.

Huge water mills were turning, and a large group of people were constantly carrying supplies along the river.

Since he was the first batch of ruffians and hooligans to enter the Qingzhou Labor Reform Division.

There are soldiers nearby, but they are not afraid that anyone will dare to escape.

However, the working environment is indeed a little harsh, there is no equipment, and there are no protective measures, and it is purely manual handling.

After all, he came to labor reform to atone for his sins, and he provided a lot of clues, and he performed well.

In the spirit of humanitarianism, the working environment and living environment can be improved if there are conditions in the future.

Now Zhou Zheng is specially responsible for guarding the safety of the cement workshop and managing the prisoners of the Qingzhou Labor Reform Division, and all the 500 guards brought by him are stationed nearby, always on the lookout for possible bandits.

However, Zhou Zheng was also quite puzzled.

The cement workshop adds up to only one or twenty people, counting the number of prisoners who have just been arrested and the number of guards, but Chen Ze also asked at least five hundred guards to come and guard, which is really a little confusing.

But it can only be to obey orders.

This time, I heard that Chen Ze came to the cement workshop, and Zhou Zheng hurried over to greet him.

"See His Royal Highness the Prince."

"Captain Zhou doesn't need to be polite." Chen Ze hurriedly smiled: "I've worked hard for you these days. ”

"Fear of despicability."

"Okay, you're busy, I'll go in and see how those workers are doing!"

Zhou Zheng hurriedly said: "Humble duty to lead the way for His Highness." ”

"Okay, lead the way!"

Chen Ze smiled and didn't say much.

The lieutenants in the Qingzhou battalion grabbed a lot of them, and if they wanted to be promoted, they either relied on military merit or were familiar.

Zhou Zheng must hope that the prince can be more familiar with him, and he may be promoted to be a lieutenant when he is happy.

Hurriedly led the way in front and took Chen Ze to the place where the masters were.

As soon as the old masons who were busy hearing that the son of the world was coming, they hurried over to assemble, and they did not dare to slack off.

In a short time, the people gathered.

Most of them are old masters, and a few are apprentices.

Seeing that Chen Ze was about to kneel and salute, he was stopped by Chen Ze.

Let everyone continue to be busy, and then call Master Lai, who is in charge, to ask about the research results of the cement workshop.

In fact, cement has already been made.

It even took two days to get out.

After all, the raw materials are those raw materials, and it is nothing more than a matter of proportion.

Add more water to the noodles, and add more water to the noodles.

The master masons experimented with a certain proportion of their hands, and soon the results were obtained.

But getting it out is just the beginning.

Because to really put cement into infrastructure, the amount required is extremely terrifying astronomical.

The moment these master masons witnessed the birth of cement, they also felt quite magical about this new thing.

It's hard when it's solidified, and it takes only a day.

But problems also arise.

The first is that the cost is too high, if it is used to build a house, it is better to use yellow mud and bluestone bricks, which is relatively cheap.

The second is that the cement particles made in this way are relatively large and not delicate, and there may be water seepage and collapse.

Therefore, the main research direction of the master masons at the moment is how to reduce costs and make cement more delicate.

Not to mention, these masters quickly figured out their experience.

In terms of cost, it is not necessary to use mineral powder, and slag is also fine.

The slag is ground into powder and mixed into it, which makes little difference, but the cost comes down all of a sudden.

The second is to carry out high-temperature calcination after the cement is proportioned, and the pulverized coal should be mixed in, which has certain requirements for temperature, and the price of coal is not low, overall, the cost has dropped by about one-third.

At present, we are looking for alternatives, preferably from local materials, but we have not yet developed results.

Chen Ze couldn't help but look at Li Yuankang and Zhou Zheng on the side.

"Look, what a professional is!"

"It's called professionalism!"
