Dressed as a big boss Bai Yueguang, God does not allow salted fish to lie down

The Qinghetan Brick Factory over there has been put into operation, and Su Yuejian wrote a method for making cement using traditional methods.

Not as good as modern factory formulas, but certainly better than current building materials.

Clay mixed with brick-burning waste accounts for about 75%, quicklime accounts for about 20%, and the material obtained by grinding gypsum ore into powder accounts for 5%. The above materials are dried and ground into powder, which is the simplest cement.

Mixing in aggregates such as sand and gravel makes concrete.

With this thing, building a house is just around the corner.

It sounds simple, but each step requires a lot of manpower to complete.

Su Yuejian discovered that the speed of digging silt from the river could not keep up with the speed of making bricks here.

So Su Yuejian gave Gu Bingxiu an idea, that is, to bring out the prisoners from Zhongli County to do work, and those who did a good job could be given a certain reduction in sentence.

This will add a large number of manpower.

But digging silt is hard work, and with the prisoner rations, you would starve to death after a few days of work.

Su Yuejian gave another meal to the coolies who were involved in digging the silt.

Everyone is more motivated to work, and efficiency has improved a lot compared to before.

Su Yuejian also modified the digging tools, which greatly improved the efficiency of digging silt.

Su Yuejian went to Gu Bingxiu and said, "I have a brick factory and adhesives. Next, I want to change the appearance of Zhongli County so that ordinary people can also live in brick and stone houses.

However, in order to avoid random construction here and there, I want to re-plan the inner and outer cities. In the future, houses can only be built in designated places, and the construction standards must be unified.

I have technical guidance and blueprints, and I can build a demonstration house.”

"What is a demonstration house?" Gu Bingxiu asked.

Su Yuejian directly gave him the "Management Methods for Establishing County-wide Demonstration Residential Communities".

"If you don't understand, just read this booklet of mine.

The price of ordinary houses cannot be too high. The land is designated by the county as a site for building houses, and I will send people to build the houses. The prices of the built houses are based on their sizes.

Citizens can pay a 20% down payment first, and the money will be transferred to the county’s financial account.

The remaining 80% will be allocated to me, after all, I provide all the labor and materials. It can be paid off in one, three or five years, in monthly payments.

If you really don't have the money, your family can provide labor to cover the costs.

I hope at least no one will freeze to death this winter."

Gu Bingxiu has now implemented the princess's words as if they were an imperial decree. This does not increase the burden on the people, but also increases fiscal revenue. It's a brilliant move.

“The main road in the inner city is connected to the official roads in other counties, and I also need to rebuild it.

While repairing, attention needs to be paid to digging drainage systems on both sides, with the middle of the road high and the sides low.

During the rainy season, water flows into underground reservoirs in the underground drainage system.

In times of drought, water can be taken out for use. When the water exceeds the capacity of the reservoir, the water will be diverted to a nearby river.

This part of the work will be handed over to your government for supervision.

The specific plan can be based on the construction plan I drew earlier."

After greeting Gu Bingxiu at the beginning, Su Yuejian sent a group of people to build the houses. The houses looked different every day. After a few months, the houses were now connected together.

In the bedroom, Su Yuejian was thinking, if the glass burning was abandoned halfway, what would happen to the ether and the surgery?

What should I do with my cousin and myself?

No matter how difficult this difficulty is, we must overcome it!

No matter how difficult it is, it is still easier than building airplanes and cannons!

After all, these were the few methods of making medicines she knew.

The preparation methods of other medicines are unknown, so it is absolutely impossible.

Three months have passed since the project was launched, and just when Su Yuejian was seeing patients in Yuejian Hall, a servant came to report that the high-temperature resistant beaker used in the experiment had burned out!

Fifty or sixty people worked for three months and produced more than a dozen laboratory supplies of various shapes.

Everyone thinks it’s not worth it!

These people made such a small piece of rotten bottle, and they were worried that the princess would be unhappy and that they would lose their jobs.

When these glass flasks were sent to Su Yuejian, she touched these glass products and felt filled with emotion!

The craftsmen in the glass workshop were still worried about losing their jobs, but Su Yuejian didn't think so. With a wave of her hand, she gave everyone an extra bonus of one hundred yuan this month.

Su Yuejian felt that this was a detour that had to be taken during the experimental phase and there was no shortcut.

She remembers that her cousin was a small cadre in the local flat glass factory. At that time, she wanted to blow a set of auspicious glassware with dragon and phoenix patterns as a gift for her friends. She used her connections to enter their workshop, and under the guidance of the masters, she completed a glass work by herself.

It was because of this experience that she was able to recognize those as quartz mines, because when she entered the glass factory, the ground was covered with quartz sand.

Because she had been in a workshop, she was able to roughly restore the tools used to make glass at that time.

With this treasure of memory, we could have saved many years of groping detour.

So Su Yuejian was still very satisfied with the result.

"You did a great job! I'll draw some patterns later and bake them according to my requirements. In the future, you can make money faster than building a house."

Over the past three months, Su Yuejian has been spending almost every day at the glass kiln, inspecting and supervising, testing samples, and repairing cracked ones and damaged ones.

There was once an explosion that almost happened, so Su Yuejian formulated safety rules for the glass kiln and used the system to manage safety risks.

After countless experiments, by firing quartz glass beakers, the masters also learned to fire glassware of other shapes, such as vases, glass wine bottles, wine glasses, oil bottles, aquariums, and better quartz flat glass.

Su Yuejian now treats Gu Bingxiu less and less as an outsider, and is not polite at all when ordering him around.

This person is similar to Senior Brother Gu in the previous life, except for the face. Everything else is different.

But because of this resemblance, she always felt that this fateful acquaintance was some kind of compensation, so she acted very familiar with him.

Ever since Gu Bingxiu saw Su Yuejian giving classes to her servants, he had been thinking about opening a school in the county as well. This was because in Zhongli County, only a few people could take part in the Tongsheng examination every year, let alone the provincial and metropolitan examinations.

It is difficult for a place to develop if there are no literate people.

But the teacher to run the school has not been hired yet.

The idea is good, but it is not easy to find a teacher. Besides, this place is too poor and every family lacks labor. For those who can't even get enough food to eat, it is a fantasy to provide their children with education.

Even if one does not stop studying, the writing brushes, ink, paper, and inkstone needed for study will be very expensive.

So he also mentioned this matter to Su Yuejian.

"My Lady, my school is still short of a teacher. Do you have any suitable candidates?"

"Not yet, but I'll keep an eye out for you."

"Mr. Gu, how is the matter of transplanting trees in the barren mountain going?"

When Gu Bingxiu heard this, he ran away with big strides.

In the past few months, he has been ordered around by the princess and has lost a lot of weight.

Now that the matter of transplantation had been brought up, he had to quickly follow up with his subordinates on how it was being carried out and then come back to report.
