The First Happy King of Zhenguan in the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 203 The cement burned out?

But no matter what, Yu Zhining has already arrived, and things will always come to an end. No matter how courageous Lu Qinghong is, he will not dare to grit his teeth at this time. After all, Old Yu just said that he must report this matter truthfully. To the emperor.

So Lu Qinghong patted his chest without even thinking about it and said: "Your Excellency, you are worrying too much. You don't need to alarm the Holy Majesty at all for such trivial matters. In the past, the lower officials didn't know that Shanyin County was refining steel for the imperial court. Now I know what to say." It will not delay their supply of raw materials."

"Is that really the case?" Yu Zhining looked at Lu Qinghong calmly. Naturally, he would not write a letter to Li Shimin lightly. The reason why he said that just now was just to make a big banner out of a tiger's skin—to scare people.

"Of course, please give me a chance, Lord Minister." Lu Qinghong said a little aggrieved.

He really didn't know anything about this matter, but what Yu Zhining said just now, it seems that Shuozhou's emissary sued him, but he didn't know that he was referring to the former emissary Han Fu , or the current assassin king is the only one.

Yu Zhining saw that Lu Qinghong had softened and was still showing face, so he naturally couldn't say anything more, so he nodded lightly: "Well, since Mr. Lu has agreed, let's settle this matter like this. Stay in Shanyin County for a while longer, I hope Mr. Lu will fulfill his promise as soon as possible."

"Master Shi Lang, don't worry!" Lu Qinghong ordered people to study ink while talking, and wrote a letter to the magistrate of Lan County in front of Yu Zhining, ordering him to ensure that Shuozhou's iron Mine supply, but no mention of money.

Anyway, Yu Zhining has already intervened in this matter, and I believe that there will be no problems with money, otherwise, it will be a big deal to ask him for money. Anyway, everyone is an official, and no one can run away.

……

In Shanyin County, Yu Zhining has been away for three days. Seeing that the stock of iron ore is getting smaller and smaller, Li Muyun has to reduce the production again and again, but even so, if the ore transportation volume within five days If there is no increase, this small blast furnace can only stop working.

Wang Jie saw all this in his eyes and was anxious in his heart. In just one night, his mouth was full of anger.

But there is no way or no way, this kind of thing can't be rushed at all, the ore can't be transported, no matter how urgent he is, he can't refine himself.

Unlike Wang Jie, the fat man who is in charge of burning coke lives a very comfortable life. He eats and sleeps every day. Anyway, this thing already has mature technology, so he doesn't have to worry about so many things at all. Just look at the scene, Just don't stuff people into cave dwellings and burn them to death.

It was under such circumstances that Li Muyun came down to the valley. Seeing the fat man muttering while sleeping, he immediately got angry and kicked him hard on the ass: "You are a pig, except Eating is sleeping!"

"Who kicked me!" Fatty was in a dream and had just sparked with his old friend. He was kicked awake by Li Muyun and cursed without even thinking about it. It wasn't until he finished cursing that he saw someone staring at him with a black face. He dared to apologize quickly: "Oh, Muyun, so it was you who came, I thought it was the one who didn't open his eyes."

"It's useless not to talk to me. I asked you to come over and watch them burn coke and try to make cement. Is this how you show me?" Li Muyun was already sullen because of the source of iron ore. , seeing Fatty's virtue now, is even more furious.

"No, no, didn't I just lie down for a while, and I was really tired after watching them burn for half the night yesterday." Seeing that the situation was not good, the fat man hurriedly explained, and at the end he did not forget to say: "That, by the way , Last night, something was burnt out of the cement kiln, and I don’t know if it’s the cement you want.”

"What does it look like, take me to have a look." Li Muyun glared at the fat man, then shook his head at him.

Now the fat man is more or less the number one under him, he can't just beat him up, and besides, the fat man is shameless, Li Muyun still has an image, it would be shameless to ride a fat man and beat him up.

"Oh, let's go, let's go!" The fat man escaped a severe beating by chance, and he was secretly glad in his heart. He quickly jumped off the couch, and rushed out in three steps and two steps. The agility of his body was completely out of proportion to his figure.

……

Li Muyun thought many times about the conditions under which the cement would be fired.

But no matter what he thought, he never expected that this thing would be placed in front of him so silently.

"Muyun, Muyun, what's the matter with you?" The fat man looked at Li Muyun squatting on the ground, rubbing the gray powder without speaking, and pushed him worriedly.

"Old Feng, are you responsible for firing these things? Did you leave any records when you burned these things?" Li Muyun ignored the fat man, but turned to look at the middle-aged man who was in charge of firing these things. .

"Yes, it was made by the villain, and there are records." The middle-aged man Hanhan nodded, and then asked a little nervously: "Master Hou, is this the cement you mentioned?"

"It's almost the same. It looks very similar. You have to try it to know." Li Muyun said as he patted the cement dust off his hands.

Cement has lime in it, and it will burn when held in the hand for a long time. Li Muyun judged from this feeling that the gray powder on the ground should be cement.

The experiment started soon. There is some sand in the valley, which is used to put out the fire. Now it can be used. The water is also ready-made. Anyway, it is not used for drinking. It is good to save the old water. , As for bricks, there is no such thing, but there is no shortage of stones in the mountains, and it is the same to get a few stones.

So it didn't take much time, Li Muyun had already mixed the cement, piled a few stones together and rubbed them into the cracks of the stones, everything was fine, then just wait two or three days to see the result.

However, regarding the results of the experiment, Li Muyun still has a lot of confidence in his heart. After all, this batch of newly baked products are indistinguishable from the cement of later generations in terms of appearance and feel.

Only the fat man didn't take it seriously. Seeing that Li Muyun was more excited than making pig iron in a small blast furnace, he couldn't help but said, "Muyun, what are you so happy about? Isn't it just a piece of shit? Is there any need to be successful?" so."

"You know what a fart. This thing is very useful. If it is used properly, it is a sharp weapon to make a fortune. Let me tell you, no one is allowed to spread the burning method of this thing. If it gets out, I will fight you hard, do you know?"

"Yes, I understand!" Feng Junyi nodded quickly.

The fat man originally looked indifferent, but after seeing Li Muyun's murderous gaze, he still shrank his neck and nodded to show that he knew.
