Cultivation of chastity

"Jiangnan Tea Garden Project..."

Li Tai looked at the document that he made the plan, added a few strokes to it, and then closed it. The project was considered approved, and then handed the document to Bai He, saying, "Put this plan in the second-class cabinet." middle."

Bai He took the folder from Li Tai's hand, went to Li Tai's library, and went to four bookcases A, B, C and D.

Among them, the T-shaped bookcase has the most books, while the C-shaped bookcase has the least collection of books.

The books on this bookcase are not formulated according to their importance. For Li Tai, every plan is very important.

However, if someone browses through the T-shaped bookcase, they can see that it includes not limited to "Qinling Overpass", "Bohai Sea Crossing Bridge", "Jiangnan Great Development"... In short, Bai He looked at the mountain of scrolls, only feeling his head. explode.

Even if she knew all the words on many things, but to really get this thing out, it was a fantasy consciously, but it was terrifying that King Wei actually realized it one after another.

Biliary puts the implementation plan worth discussing under the current situation, and there are only three at this stage.

One is "Changluo Chidao", the other is "Yellow River Bridge", and "Jiangnan Tea Garden" that I hold in my hand now.

It's just that when the project starts and the funds are invested here, the project can be placed in the second-class cabinet.

As for when to put it in the first-class cabinet, it will have to wait until the project starts to make a profit.

However, the issue of agricultural products has never been immediate, and it is normal to wait for two or three years.

Li Tai felt that it would take at least three years for the first wave of tea to be harvested smoothly, which was considered fast.

But after thinking about it, although tea in this era is considered a drink, it does not have the atmosphere brought by Lu Yu. It will take some time before tea becomes a popular drink in the Tang Dynasty.

Otherwise, I don't need to engage in any Go tournament to hype the tea.

After all, apart from myself, no one would care about the tea production in the entire Tang Dynasty. I really feel lonely and lonely!

Don't worry, just develop the tea industry safely and steadily.

Li Tai took his mind off this matter and put his mind on the next thing, which was to continue to integrate his iron-making industry.

Thinking of this, Li Tai took out the plan for Luoyang Iron and Steel City and began to look at it.

With the approval of the imperial court to build his own iron-making factory, Li Tai immediately began to integrate the large and small iron-making workshops in his hands, found a place near the Nanguan Wharf in the lower reaches of the Luoshui River, and began to build the city.

This is learned from Han Jiacang.

The Tang Dynasty experienced the Sui and Tang Dynasties Wars, and even witnessed how the peasant uprising army snowballed at a speed visible to the naked eye after the granary was built outside the city and then occupied by Wagang Village.

So Li Shimin gave full play to this experience and lessons, and directly built a city for grain, which is the origin of Hanjiacang.

According to historical records, in the eighth year of Emperor Xuanzong's Tianbao (749 A.D.), the total number of major large-scale granaries in the country was 1266 million shi, and Hanjiacang stored 583 million shi, accounting for nearly 1/2. It was the largest granary at that time. , known as "the world's first granary".

It is precisely because of the existence of Hanjiacang that the imperial court decisively migrated to Luoyang whenever there was no food to eat in Chang'an.

Because there is really food stored here, and the dignitaries and relatives of the emperor are always ready to come and eat.

And Li Tai integrated the steel workshop in his hands to become a real steel city.

To a certain extent, it is more sensitive than food, so if the city is established, the people who come and go will need to be strictly checked, and even how much material is sent in and out, it must be compared in detail.

Because things like iron are very, very important whether they are ancient or modern.

Even in modern society, when looking at a country's industrial output value, steel production is also a very important indicator.

As for the address I chose, it is naturally not far from Nanguan Wharf, about twenty miles away from the road.
On the right, the road should be as flat as possible and avoid special crowded areas.

Let no other people walk on this road except for the materials and living supplies transported from all over the country, the steel and other steel products transported out.

The most important point is that Li Tai hopes to develop for at least 20 years without affecting the surrounding environment of the industrial city.

Let Wang Zhenru send someone to build a road to go there, at least it will be much easier to get in and out.

In addition, Li Tai had handed over his information on blast furnace steelmaking to Mo Ling. In fact, when Mo Ling was in Chang'an, under the guidance of Sun Simiao, he had tried blast furnace ironmaking several times.

It's just that the blast furnace built is quite unreliable. It's no problem to use it for a month or two, but if it goes up for two months, it's just resigned to fate.

As for three months... Mo Ling really has never seen a blast furnace that survived three months. Either there were cracks somewhere, or a fire was caused, and even the operator was poisoned by carbon monoxide.

All in all, all kinds of small and big problems have occurred, and the blast furnace that has been broken is no less than two hands, but strictly speaking, this thing is still in the stage of excessive experimentation to formal production and use.

For Li Tai, even during the experiment period, the iron-smelting production capacity of this thing is only half a square, about three thousand catties, and it will be scrapped after two months of use. It can be said that these words are embarrassing to the traveler.

But look at the annual steel production capacity of the entire Tang Dynasty at its peak was only more than 1000 million catties, and this thing would be scrapped even if it took less than three months, but the production capacity of this thing was nearly 30 catties. It is already a terrifying production capacity.

Li Tai didn't ask too much, and if he built a blast furnace with five-party production capacity for one year, it would basically be able to support Datang's steel production for one year.

At that time, not to mention that farm tools can be made into iron, even iron pots, I have the capital to distribute one.

And this kind of blast furnace ironmaking can't be produced by small workshops.

But if you want to keep improving it, and really create a five-square blast furnace from half a square, you will definitely need to gather national power to overcome difficulties bit by bit. The shape of the blast furnace needs to be redesigned, and the materials for the blast furnace must be continuously selected. The materials for the blast furnace need to be constantly tried, and even the iron ore itself has to be selected one by one.

But Li Tai didn't read the plan for long, Bai He, who put the tea garden plan into the study, came to Li Tai and saluted,

"Your Majesty, Chief Lu Shan, Chief Pan, and Lord Mo are already waiting in the study, do you want them to come to the study?"

"Please, serve good tea!" Li Tai immediately invited the three of them over when he heard Bai He's words.

Soon, the three of them arrived.

Among them, Pan Shizheng was at the front, Lu Shanchang was half a step behind, and Mo Gong was at the back.

Lu Cai came to Luoyang and is starting to establish Luoyang Academy, which is naturally known to everyone.

Mo Gong, on the other hand, assisted Peacock to take charge of the coal and iron-making industries. After Peacock went to the canal to develop the industrial chain, Mo Gong naturally took full responsibility for this aspect.

As for Pan Shizheng, among the three, he was the first to settle in Luoyang. It was mainly because Li Tai and Li Chengqian rebuilt Buddhist and Taoist temples to pray for Empress Changsun. Come and enjoy the incense offering.

Li Tai didn't care about Pan Shizheng's balance between public and private affairs. As long as Maoshanzong helped him conquer the periodic table of elements, he would burn them as much incense as they wanted.

Even the students of later generations, when they take chemistry exams in the future, may pay homage to Maoshan sect more often.

Li Tai looked at the three of them with a smile on his face and asked them to sit down first, while Bai He gave them all Luoyang black tea.

Then he came to the place he should be familiar with, lifted his pen skillfully, and prepared to take notes.

The three of them were all old acquaintances of Li Tai, and when they knew that Bai He had done this, it meant that the summoning was for business.

The three of them looked at each other, not knowing what they should do, and in the end it was Lu Cai who spoke first, saying,
"King Wei, let me come here this time, but I have something important to tell you.

order? "

Li Tai nodded and said, "This time, the sage agreed to let us make armor at the Luoyang ironworks.

So I asked Princess Mo to take charge of this matter, and asked him to build a steel city near the Nanguan Wharf, integrate various workshops and iron-making industries into the steel city, realize the intensive and large-scale of craftsmen and materials, and thus form an agglomeration effect! "

When Mo Gong heard this, he only politely saluted Lu Cai and Pan Shizheng.

Although Mo Gong didn't understand a lot of words, he still understood that Li Tai made him the general supervisor of the latest steel city under construction.

Lu Cai and Pan Shizheng didn't understand, what did they come to ask for this matter?It seems that it doesn't match up with what I and others are responsible for!
And Li Tai continued, "The three of you are called here this time to discuss how to recycle the waste water and waste residue in this city in the future. We need the three of you to work together to solve this problem."

Hearing this, whether it was Pan Shizheng, Lu Cai, or even Mo Gong himself, he was somewhat confused?
Although they understood Li Tai's general meaning, they couldn't quite understand the whole passage combined.

And Li Tai further explained, "Simply put, all my iron and steel workshops were small workshops in the past, no matter whether it was iron smelting or manufacturing, if the waste water produced was poured into the river, it would be poured into the river.

Because the number is small and the area is scattered, it will hardly affect the river or even the whole nature.

But it’s different now. I have concentrated a large amount of iron-making industries in Luoyang, and the city’s canals are connected to Luoshui.

The discharged waste water is enough to kill this piece of aquatic life. As for whether it will affect the downstream cities, I can't guarantee it.

Therefore, this matter must be dealt with! "

Mo Gong's face couldn't help but change when he heard this. To be honest, he really didn't think of this.

However, he knew that if it really caused a large number of civilian casualties because of this, and if someone needs to be responsible, then he might be the one!

But Lu Cai has a calm face, because King Wei always pays special attention to some strange places. This point is not very strange for Lu Cai. The real problem is why King Wei summoned himself and others to come over. !
On the contrary, Master Pan is at a loss at this time, because these things don't seem to have anything to do with him?
And Lu Cai was familiar with Li Tai, so he asked first at this time, "Wei Wang, you let the three of us come here today, you must have found a solution!"

Seeing Lu Cai's calmness, Li Tai nodded, then turned his head and said to Pan Shizheng, "Do you know Huang Zhong?"

"I know, I know!" Several people present nodded repeatedly. Among the medicinal materials, the main ingredient is human stool.

And Li Tai continued: "The sewage and waste residue produced by ironmaking is just like our evening primrose.

And what we have to do is to turn these sewage and waste residues into something that is as yellow as human beings and beneficial to us. This is the ultimate goal.

The concentration of the steel industry will greatly increase the concentration of waste water and waste residue in a certain area, causing great damage to the surrounding environment, and may even cause the death of livestock personnel, which is not advisable.

But again, because of the large number of industries gathered, the technology will be naturally integrated, which will increase the efficiency of ironmaking.This leads to a substantial increase in production and waste water production.

And blessings come from misfortunes, and misfortunes depend on blessings.

If the amount of sewage is too small, it is not cost-effective to recycle it. Even if I force it, I am afraid that people will die in the future.
But as the amount of sewage reaches a certain level, it is likely to benefit from the treatment of wastewater.

Needless to say, at least in this sewage waste, I believe there must be iron, but it is difficult for us to extract it. "

"Then what are your thoughts, King Wei?" Lu Cai heard Li Tai's words and understood that Li Tai had thoughts, so he followed Li Tai's words and asked.

Li Tai gave Lu Cai a well-done look, and then continued to explain:
"To put it bluntly, we need to establish a waste water recycling system.

The first step is to analyze how many different materials are in the wastewater, and then find ways to separate and extract the various materials through various means. This requires the help of Taoist Pan, your Maoshan sect! "

"Poverty understands!" Master Pan said, listening to Li Tai's words, "I want to apply what I have learned, but that's all!"

"The Taoist priest is humble!" Li Tai shook his head and said, "Your research is the foundation of the entire wastewater recycling plan."

"Mo Ling and Daoist Pan are enough for this plan, why did King Wei let me come.

But in the future, students who will graduate from Luoyang Agricultural University will be assigned to this project?
If so, Wei Wang, you can just give an order! " Lu Cai asked in doubt.

"For you to come, of course there is a corresponding project!" Li Tai said with a smile,

"We need Daoist Pan to constantly analyze the means of continuously extracting impurities, and at the same time, we need to use natural methods to deal with them.

There are not many ways we can use it. It is very important to find algae or aquatic plants that can grow in such wastewater, and even if there are weeds that can withstand the growth of these diluted sewage.

The other is to cultivate some weeds that can survive around the mining area, and through their growth, they can absorb the remaining metals in the soil.

When these plants absorb the growth state of metal and turn the intangible into tangible, we will collect them, calcinate them, and make pig iron from them! "

"Wei Wang, you really don't waste a single bit!" Lu Cai couldn't help but twitched his mouth when he heard Li Tai's words.

"It looks like Chuzhi, you have already understood what I mean, then this matter is fully entrusted to you!"

Li Tai patted Lu Cai on the shoulder, as if entrusting him with a heavy responsibility.

But Lu Cai understands very well that this sounds very easy, but the project that he really wants to implement is probably another long-term project that will take more than ten years, not more than 20 years.

Lu Cai wiped off his sweat. Fortunately, King Wei didn't ask him to produce the wheat or rice that grows in these places, but just asked him to produce algae and weeds that can survive in these places. Let's try it first!
