Take the warehouse back to the end of the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 127 Cement in short supply

Liu Wenzhong bowed his hands to Zhao Wengong, then picked up the documents on the table and walked outside.

Zhao Wen sat on the chair, let out a long breath, and then shouted loudly: "Come on, remove the armor!"

As soon as Zhao Wen finished speaking, Li Xiaosan hurried in from the outside.

Zhao Wen looked at Li Xiaosan, frowned and said, "Where is Zhou Shiqi? Where is he?"

Li Xiaosan said: "My lord, today you returned triumphantly, and Zhou Shiqi is in the kitchen preparing a welcome banquet."

"Oh!" Zhao Wen replied casually, and then opened his arms.

Li Xiaosan quickly removed the armor from Zhao Wen's body.

Zhao Wen took the washbasin brought by Li Xiaosan, put it on the table, and washed it casually.

"Go, follow me out for a while." Zhao Wen put down the towel in his hand and said to Li Xiaosan.

Li Xiaosan bowed his hands to Zhao Wengong, and then followed behind Zhao Wen, heading outside.

Wu Keshan also released the prisoners from the prison at this time, and gathered in the open space outside the prison.

Wu Keshan looked at the captive with dull eyes and confused face, and shouted loudly.

"I know you are confused, why am I standing here properly instead of standing with you." Wu Keshan kept scanning the crowd.

Anda looked at Wu Keshan standing on a high place, and an ominous premonition surged in his heart.

He and Wu Keshan looked at each other, then hurriedly lowered their heads, and kept moving backwards.

Wu Keshan looked at Anda with a cold smile on his face.

"All of this is thanks to Anda!" Wu Keshan pointed at Anda, and said to the guard standing beside him, "Go and bring Anda up for me!"

Anda looked at the guards running over in panic, and said in panic, "Taiji, this is all a misunderstanding, this is all a misunderstanding."

Anda kept squeezing back, and said in panic.

But where can he go?After struggling a few times, Wu Keshan's guards escorted him up.

Wu Keshan glanced at Anda who was brought up, and then explained to the captives.

After a quarter of an hour, the captives burst into cheers.

"Going home, finally coming home, finally being able to go home, no more digging stones."

"Yeah, yeah, I don't need to dig rocks anymore. In this life, I feel disgusted when I see rocks!"

For a time, countless prisoners shed tears of excitement.

Zhao Wen led Li Xiaosan to the vicinity of the prison.

Zhao Wen looked at Wu Keshan, who was standing on a high place, roaring excitedly, smiled, and then walked towards Wu Keshan.

When Zhao Wen stepped onto the high platform, the captives standing below shrank their necks and kept stepping back.

Obviously, Zhao Wen caused too much psychological shadow on these captives.

If there is a disagreement, people will dig stones, and they will spend a whole day digging.

Zhao Wen looked at the prisoners who kept retreating, and smiled awkwardly, "Am I so scared?"

Anda looked at Zhao Wen, and didn't dare to struggle anymore, and hurriedly shrunk his head down.

Zhao Wen looked at the panic-stricken prisoner and said loudly, "What Wu Keshan Taiji said just now is true, you can go home now."

The captives looked at Zhao Wen with a smile on his face, but they still couldn't believe it.

Zhao Wen stood there in embarrassment, not knowing what to say for a while.

"Forget it, I can't explain it to you." Zhao Wen waved his hand, and then said to Wu Keshan: "These people, you can simply reorganize them. After the reorganization is over, follow me. I have some things to explain to you."

Wu Keshan looked at Zhao Wen, nodded, and then jumped off the high platform.

Zhao Wen also jumped off the high platform and stood aside, waiting quietly.

Before these prisoners were captured by Zhao Wen, their organization was complete.After Zhao Wen was captured, although the establishment was disrupted by Zhao Wen, no one died, so it was easy to reorganize.

A quarter of an hour later, these prisoners were organized by Wu Keshan.

After the reorganization was over, Wu Keshan went to Zhao Wen.

Zhao Wen looked at Wu Keshan who was coming, and said slowly, "When are you going to leave?"

Wu Keshan thought for a while, and said, "Hurry up sooner rather than later, I plan to leave tomorrow."

"In such a hurry?"

"Father Khan attaches great importance to the construction of the city. If I don't get the cement back as soon as possible, I'm afraid Father Khan will not sleep well."

"That's true. All right, come with me. I'll take you to the cement factory." After Zhao Wen said that, he walked forward on his own.

Wu Keshan glanced at the captives who were sitting there, and said to the guards next to him: "Keep an eye on them, don't let them run around."

These captives have been digging stones in Longmen Fort for so long, and the wildness on their bodies has long since been worn away.

How can the captives look like soldiers at this time?One by one, almost no different from those honest peasants.

Zhao Wen led Wu Keshan to the cement factory not long after.

Looking at the continuous cement kiln, Zhao Wen let out a sigh of relief.

When I left, there were only 50 kiln openings, but now there are more than [-] kiln openings, and the number of kiln openings has more than doubled.

More than 50 large chimneys kept emitting black smoke.Although the black smoke pollutes the environment a lot, in this day and age, even if there are a hundred more chimneys, it doesn't matter.

When Zhao Wen just walked to the gate of the cement factory, a group of soldiers came up.

"I have seen the guard!"

These soldiers are all soldiers of the Longmen Army, and they are rotated every month.

When the cement plant was built, Zhao Wen sent someone to protect it. After all, this cement plant is Zhao Wen's pocketbook, so it can't be controlled properly.

Zhao Wen looked at these soldiers and said calmly: "I'm going to visit the cement factory today, you go down first!"

"Yes!"

These soldiers bowed their hands to Zhao Wengong, and then patrolled along the high wall of the cement factory.

Just as Zhao Wen led Wu Keshan into the gate of the cement factory, he heard an extremely rough roar.

"Niu Dazhuang, what do you do for food? Why is there so little cement production in the past seven days? If you don't want to do it, get out as soon as possible. Some people want to do it."

"Wang Guanshi, Wang Guanshi, it's not that I think so. I don't know what's going on these days. The workers in the kiln mouth often have stomach problems. In addition, my kiln mouth has less manpower, so the output is less. "

"This is all an excuse. Back then, when Lao Tzu and Lord Garrison first started building cement kilns, at that time, Lao Tzu didn't have many people in his hands, but the output was still higher than yours.

Niu Dazhuang, let me tell you, if the output of your kiln is still so small in the future, get out of here! "

"Yes Yes Yes!"

"Isn't this Wang Liuqi's voice?" Zhao Wen looked for the voice with a puzzled look on his face.

As soon as he turned around a wall, Zhao Wen saw Wang Liuqi who was standing in the open space and yelling at a group of people.

"Cough, old Wang, what's the matter?" Zhao Wen coughed twice, looking at Wang Liuqi whose back was turned to him.

Wang Liuqi turned around in a hurry, looked at Zhao Wen excitedly, ran to Zhao Wen's side in a hurry, bowed his waist, and said flatteringly: "Hey, my lord, your body is precious, why don't you ran here?"

Zhao Wen said with a smile: "Haha, this cement factory is my golden cake, I have to keep an eye on it."

Wang Liuqi looked at the neatly standing kiln steward standing in the open space, and said in a deep voice, "You don't have anything to do here, you go to work."

When the kiln stewards heard what Wang Liuqi said, although they were very curious about Zhao Wen's identity, they still retreated.

After all, not many people in Longmen Fort have seen Zhao Wen's true face.

"My lord, I was going to meet you today, but the cement factory is too busy, so please forgive me if I can't leave for a while!" Wang Liuqi looked at Zhao Wen obsequiously.

If you want to say who Wang Liuqi respects most now, it must be Zhao Wen.

Originally, he was just a farmer who knew how to do some crafts. Not to mention that he couldn't eat a full meal, and he suffered disaster.

If it wasn't for Zhao Wen, he might have starved to death long ago.

Today, he is already the chief manager of the cement factory, and he manages a lot of people under him, and his monthly salary is quite a lot of money.

Zhao Wen looked at Wang Liuqi suspiciously, and asked, "Is the cement plant busy now?"

When Wang Liuqi heard this, he sighed and said, "My lord, don't mention it, it can make me busy to death. I don't know what happened to the thieves in Shaanxi, and the trouble became more and more fierce. I heard that some people went to Shanxi trend.

Our cement is cheap, and the city walls built are tall and strong.Many gentry in Shaanxi avoided being ransacked by thieves because they used our cement to build Dazhai and build city walls.

Now all the gentry and government in Shaanxi want to use our cement to repair and build city walls.In addition, thieves tend to go to Shanxi, so the big households in Shanxi also started to buy our cement.

And we only had more than 20 cement kilns before, and the cement produced was simply not enough.

Although Mr. Liu added more than 30 seats to solve the urgent need, it is still a drop in the bucket. "

Zhao Wen squeezed his chin, and listened to Wang Liuqi's words, frowning tightly.

Although Zhao Wen had already thought that the cement would catch fire, he didn't expect it to be so hot.

This is all thanks to the thieves. If it weren't for them, the cement would definitely not be so popular.

"Then do we still have any extra cement?" Zhao Wen looked at Wang Liuqi expectantly.

Wang Liuqi said: "My lord, where did the extra cement come from? Shanxi merchants have already placed orders for the next year, and now the cement factory is rushing to produce the Shanxi merchants' cement, so where is there any excess cement? "

When Wu Keshan heard this, he hurriedly said: "What? There is no cement? General Zhao, this is not acceptable. My father is not, my father is still waiting for your cement to build the city."

"What are you in a hurry for? I will naturally do what I promised you." Zhao Wen said firmly.

　Thank you for your monthly ticket support and recommendation ticket support, and the small ones are very grateful here! ! !
