Chapter 202 Cement Road, the Emperor's Curiosity

The workshops in the refugee resettlement site are all engaged in the production of non-core technologies. The core technology workshops will all be located in the river valley behind the mountain of Xiaojiazhuang.

Cement plants, essence refineries, brine manufacturing plants,

Secret guards and new troops are stationed there 12 hours a day, workers live in Xiaojiazhuang, and key formulas are managed by the most trustworthy people to prevent leaks to the greatest extent possible.

The first batch of 500 workers arrived and the cement plant officially started operation.

There are 20 kilns in total, each kiln can burn 3000 kilograms of cement at a time, 12 hours a day without interruption, and can burn 4 pots. The cement plant's daily production capacity is 24 kilograms.

This is still a relatively small kiln. Wu Chunfeng is currently developing a large kiln, and the future production capacity will be even more terrifying.

On the third day of the cement plant's official operation, the first batch of cement was delivered to the new military camp, along with truckloads of stone.

The valley was surrounded by rocky mountains. Xiao Yunxi used explosives to blast the mountains apart. The rocks were used to build new military camps and to expand the valley.

In the future, steel mills and even gunpowder factories will be built here, so we need to plan early.

After the second batch of cement was fired, it was not transported to the new military camp, but was used to build roads.

To get rich, you must first build roads.

There is a dirt road in Xiaojiazhuang that connects to the official road. It has not been maintained for many years and is not easy to walk on.

To pour a 14cm thick concrete floor with an area of ​​1 square meter, 200 catties of cement is required.

The cement plant's production capacity for 4 days,

A 2-meter-wide and 5-mile-long cement road was built, which greatly facilitated the entry and exit of goods. The appearance of this road instantly attracted the attention of all parties.

royal palace,

The commander-in-chief of the shadow guards hurried into the imperial study and reported the situation in Xiaojiazhuang to the emperor.

"Are you sure? Xiaojiazhuang built a road as hard as stone, smooth and flat overnight?"

The commander-in-chief nodded and said:

"Spies report that the carriages travel smoothly along the road without any bumps, and even splashing water doesn't cause mud... Furthermore, the new military camp, which the King of Qin is responsible for building, uses mud and stone walls."

The secret guards and the new army did a great job of protecting the new military camp. The shadow guards knew that Xiaojiazhuang was transporting stones to the new military camp and the refugee camp was sending 1500 workers.

There was no news about what was going on inside. This time, even at the cost of sacrificing one person, we finally found out the situation at the construction site. They were actually building walls with mud.

The emperor was a little confused.

The people used yellow mud mixed with straw to build walls. He knew that the commander-in-chief was talking about using mud to build stones. Could it be strong?

When building a wall, shouldn’t we use putty powder?

Having said that, most of the barracks in the military camp are made of wood, including the fences outside the barracks. It is rare to use stones.

Is it because they couldn't buy wood, so they tried every possible means and used mud as adhesive in order to save costs?

This seemed to be the only reason the emperor could think of, but Zhou Jin was not a fool, and this method was impossible to fool him.

There is also an extremely solid road that was built overnight. It is said to be stronger than the official road. Is it true?

"Prepare the horses. I want to go and see for myself."

Once people have something very curious, they can't help but want to find the answer.

He changed into casual clothes, left the palace with his guards and shadow guards, and headed straight for the West Mountain. Without any directions, he arrived at the official road near Xiaojiazhuang.

You can see a gray road extending to the village in the distance.

It was very smooth. The emperor dismounted and walked back and forth without his shoes getting dusty. He even jumped on the cement road, and it was indeed very hard.

"Water bladder."

When water is poured on it, there is no mud at all, unlike a dirt road, which will still be muddy when it rains even if it is compacted.

"Hit it with a hammer."

There are actually some guards who use hammers. They just take out their sledgehammers and start smashing things.

"stop!"

boom!

The hammer fell, leaving only a mark on the cement floor. The emperor widened his eyes in surprise. It was so hard, how could the hammer not break it?

"Who are you? How dare you destroy the cement road!"

The guards protected the emperor. Zhao Heng waved his hand and said that these people were holding farm tools and their clothes looked like those of ordinary people, so they should not pose a threat.

"Hey young man, I'm a businessman from the capital. I heard there's a miraculous road here that was repaired overnight and is as hard as rock, so I came here to take a look."

The leading guy puffed out his chest proudly:

"The cement road was built by the future Crown Princess. It's not only strong but also smooth. It can be built very quickly, covering several miles a day. Do you want to be an agent? I wonder if the Crown Princess would be willing to meet you."

"The cement used in cement roads was invented by the future Crown Prince's wife. She's the mother of His Royal Highness the Prince of Qin and is very knowledgeable. Taoist Master Wu Chunfeng is also known as the Heavenly Master. Did you know that he's a Taoist priest working at the Imperial Observatory? Even he has to call the future Crown Prince's wife "Teacher."

The leading young man was a chatterbox and was particularly proud. These things were not secrets in themselves, so it didn't matter if he told them out loud, but the emperor was shocked.

Who is Wu Chunfeng?

He was proficient in astronomy, numerology, calendar calculation, and yin and yang. The emperor once invited him to be an official, but was politely declined. The emperor then made a concession and let him work in the Imperial Observatory without having to do any official work.

Such a person actually calls Xiao Yunxi teacher?

Why?

If he knew that Wu Chunfeng was Zhou Jin's uncle, he would probably not be curious, but murderous. Even if it meant bearing the infamy, he would want to kill Zhou Jin.

The descendants of Yan and Huang have an indescribable feeling towards Taoism.

If a monk tells you that you have the aura of a king, you will probably just smile. But if a Taoist priest tells you that you have the aura of a king, you will lie awake at night wondering whether you should give it a try.

That's the difference,

The leading young man thought he was a businessman and took him to see the manager.

Zhou Da is the manager of Zhuangzi temporarily. He will take care of Tang Hao and Daniu. In the future, Zhuangzi will be handed over to them.

Zhou Da knew the emperor, but the emperor didn't know him, so he pretended not to know him and refused the emperor's request to go in for a visit, asking him to wait in the reception room.

"His Majesty?"

The maidservant beside Dabao revealed the emperor's identity. If she continued to pretend to be ignorant, it would cause trouble for Zhou Jin and Xiao Yunxi.

Xiao Yunxi was teaching the children, and villagers, guards, and maids were all able to attend. Zhou Da brought the emperor to Zhuangzi's school.

The emperor became more and more curious.

Although Xiao Yunxi's grandfather was a member of the Hanlin Academy and her father was the top scholar, it felt a bit strange that she was so young, invented cement, and could teach people.

The school is very lively.

There were many adults gathered outside the classroom, some with big beards, standing in the front, watching with great interest.

"Do you want to know why words can appear on paper?"

"miss you!"

"I'll ask the monitor to cooperate with me and demonstrate it again. Everyone, please pay attention."

Daya removed the green onion leaves, squeezed out the green onion juice, dipped a brush in the green onion juice and wrote on the paper. After it dried, she lifted the paper up.

"Everyone sees that there are no words on the paper, right..."

"Correct!"

"It's time to witness the miracle!"

Daya put the paper on the candle to bake, and soon the brown "Daya" appeared.

"Wow!"

"Teacher, how did you do it?"

The children's faces turned red and they stared at the paper curiously, as if they could get the answer by staring at the paper.
