Take the space supermarket to farm

Chapter 271
Here in the Great Chu Dynasty, there is no industrial system in the modern world.Xia Daohua couldn't make modern graded cement.

But the cement of the series of "Build everything with soil" does not need the support of so many modern industrial foundations.

Of course, the use effect of the product is not as good as the cement of later generations.

However, compared with the glutinous rice paste wall at this time and place, it is a fast and cost-effective technological progress that cannot be ignored.

It is actually not difficult to make cement by the soil method. You only need to grind limestone into powder, then mix it with powdered clay according to a certain proportion, put it together to calcinate clinker, and then add the residual slag after ironmaking to continue grinding, stir evenly, and come out The finished product is indigenous cement.

This kind of thing doesn't actually have much technical content, but it has two disadvantages:

First, the quality is not well controlled.

The finished product may be a very uniform cement, or abnormal expansion may occur due to the composition of the slag.

The original reinforcing effect can not be achieved, but it will destroy the stability of the building.

Second, processes such as grinding and calcination require a lot of strength.

Mechanized production has the advantage, relying solely on manpower, not to mention whether the quality of grinding can meet the standard, just looking at the input-output ratio, I am afraid the data will be more touching.

That's why Xia Daohua specially chose a land with a big river beside it.

Although there is a risk of flooding in the rainy season, the workshop will be flooded, but since it is next to the river, I can design a waterwheel to use water conservancy to grind and improve production efficiency.

It's a pity that the slag is not easy to find.I'm afraid I have to advance some money to buy it in the early stage.Later, when the cement is sold, it will be self-sufficient.

If it doesn't work, you can also use cinders directly.Anyway, the kiln also needs fuel, so it is perfect to use coal to fire the kiln and use cinders as auxiliary materials!
Brick kilns are much simpler than cement kilns. As for the damage to the environment... I can't control that much.

In this era, there are still many uncultivated natural environments, and the population is much lower than that of later generations. As long as it is not that kind of severe pollution, there is no need to think too much for the time being.

Xia Daohua considered all aspects of the situation, and boldly started the project of building brick kilns and cement kilns.

With the manpower brought by Wei Jizu and Wang, the work of building brick kilns and cement kilns is much easier.

The steward sent by the Wang family is from the Wang family to support their own girls.
In particular, the two stewards brought by Wei Jizu are said to be the godsons of Eunuch Wei.

One is Wei Qilang and the other is Wei Shiqi. There is a full 12-year age difference between them, and their names are calculated according to their rankings.

It seems that Eunuch Wei likes to adopt sons very much!

One of the two is steady and down-to-earth, the other is shrewd and flexible. They cooperate with each other tacitly and obey Xia Daohua's words.

In just two months, one red brick kiln has sprung up one after another, and the waterwheel and cement kiln are all ready. Everything is ready, only manpower and sales are needed.

Xia Daohua couldn't help but want to sigh.

Look at what Eunuch Wei is capable of!

Why don't you have such useful talents in your own hands?
The problem of manpower is very simple. After posting the notice of job recruitment and sending a few people to the downtown area, vegetable markets, tea houses, restaurants, clothing stores and other places to publicize it, many people who are willing to work have been recruited.

There are local people from the native township of Jixiang County, refugees from other places, and even some stout women.

Xia Daohua screened the applicants, first tested their physical fitness and endurance, and then invited a doctor to give them a basic physical examination.

Then all those who passed the physical examination were hired.

The probationary period is three days. If you do well in these three days, you can stay and become a regular worker.

If the number is not good, you will be fired directly at any time within three days, and the work you have done will be calculated on a daily basis, and the wages will be halved.

During the probationary period, the salary is ten cents a day, and after becoming a regular worker, the salary will increase to fifteen cents a day.

Hearing that there is such a good thing, those who failed the physical examination also huffed and surrounded them all at once, not letting Xia Daohua and the others go, and some even knelt down and begged.

Xia Daohua couldn't bear to watch it, but if she was in poor health, she really couldn't watch such tiring work. She didn't want to see someone die suddenly on her property...

Wang Guanshi and Wei Shiqi sent by the Wang family reacted quickly, quickly mobilized the guards, and dispersed the surrounding crowd.

He personally protected Xia Daohua and let her evacuate to a safe place.

Xia Daohua was taken aback by this scene. While thanking the two stewards for their quick response, she secretly decided in her heart that it was time for her to train some reliable people.

Uncle Xia Youliang was interested in the work of the brick kiln, but Aunt Cheng felt that it was too hard and she was reluctant.

Xia Daohua didn't want to force it either.

It's just that I can't help feeling a bit regretful, and feel that it's somewhat inconvenient to not have my own people in this industry.

Fortunately, after a few days, Fifth Aunt figured it out.

I also came to find Xia Daohua in person, and thanked her for thinking about Uncle Wu first.

Because of this matter, Mrs. Sun became angry again.

She felt that such a good thing should be given priority to Xia Yougui.Xia Yougui doesn't like to do things, so does Erlang!Erlang is too busy, and there are Saburo and Shiro!

Xia Daohua was unmoved, Sun could at most complain a few words in the courtyard, and if he found Sifang, he could only find Jiang in front of her, basically not affecting Xia Daohua.

The Wang family solved more than half of the sales problem.

Not only the road construction project of the county government can use cement.After understanding the properties of cement, County Magistrate Yang felt that the city walls and dams could also be strengthened.

As for the sales of red bricks, the first customer is Xia Daohua herself.

She wants to build infrastructure on her small village - build a new sewer system.

It's a pity that I can't buy suitable water pipes for the time being, and even finding ceramic craftsmen to burn them now is very difficult.She is thinking about how to break through the bamboo joints so that the thick and long moso bamboo can be used as bamboo tubes.

In fact, it is not impossible for her to get plastic or rubber tubes directly from the supermarket for the materials she uses at home.

As long as you ask someone to install it, if you say that it is an expensive material specially customized by someone, and when it comes to other people's secret recipes, people will not ask more questions.

But she has been trying her best to find local substitutes that can be achieved with existing technology and materials in the time and space of the Great Chu Dynasty.

Although her dependence on the supermarket seems to be getting stronger and stronger, Xia Daohua has been trying to reduce this dependence.

After eating Wei Gonggong's Lantian jade bonsai, the supermarket quietly upgraded it again.

The upgraded supermarket has added many new products and counters.

In the "Unopenable Attic" that suddenly appeared after the last upgrade, those mysterious rooms can almost be opened.

Moreover, a large amount of money suddenly appeared in Xia Daohua's supermarket currency account.

Xia Daohua seldom checks her supermarket coin account, but this time she suddenly wanted to take a look at it on a whim, but she saw that there was a problem.

According to the shipment volume during this period, even if the sale of rice is included, I haven't made so much money!

　I didn't sleep well last night, and I was very sleepy all day today, but unfortunately I couldn't fall asleep when I lay down... The whole person seemed to be sleepwalking.My eyes are glazed over, I walk like a drift...I love you guys, (づ￣3￣)づ.Good night and sweet dreams, see you tomorrow. ^_^
