I'm not a genius in the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 339 Good news from Bianzhou
The spring water is drawn from the mountain by several arm-thin bamboo tubes and erected above the cave dwelling.

An old man with a dark complexion stood not far from the cave, and waved his hand majestically like a general about to go to war.The blocked bamboo tube was instantly pulled out by several kiln workers.Clear spring water gurgled down from the bamboo tube, and a white mist instantly rose from the whole cave dwelling.

After more than an hour, the heat above the cave began to dissipate. Zhang Chao, the dark-complexioned old man and others stood on top of the cave together, looking at the clinker blocks that were still emitting wisps of mist. Super asked back.

"Uncle Qi, what do you think of the quality of this kiln?"

"Judging from the quality, it should be about the same. Mr. Xiao Lang said that the production conditions here are poor, and it is normal for the quality to have some flaws."

The dark-complexioned Seventh Uncle looked excitedly at the cement clinker that was about to come out of the kiln, and laughed.Mr. Xiao Lang made a promise at the beginning, as long as the cement is fired successfully, he, the master craftsman of the kiln, will get an additional bonus of [-] guan!These days, he has put in all his energy, eating and lodging all the time, and he is more concerned about taking care of his wife during confinement.

One hundred strings!
With this hundred guan, not to mention marrying a daughter-in-law for his son, he even has the money to go home to build a house and buy land. Maybe he can grow new branches from an old tree and marry a young and beautiful concubine.Cough cough——Think about the last one, or the old woman at home will make a fuss.

At this time, Uncle Qi looked at the cement clinker, which looked like gold.

Not long after, the first piece of clinker was sent down.A few shirtless men swung a big hammer and smashed it vigorously, smashing it into fine powder in a short while.A few people gathered around, grabbed a handful with their hands, and twisted them carefully, with an unconcealable look of joy on their faces.At least in terms of the color properties of the finished product, it is not too different from the cement mentioned by the owner.

"Quick, try it!"

The sand and stones had been prepared long ago, and several men who had been prepared to stand aside for a long time lifted them up and poured them together, and picked up the shovel and started stirring.The well-mixed cement is carefully spread on the wet ground.Then a group of people squatted under the sun and watched helplessly.

"Just this thing, will it become like a stone, harder than a brick?"

The dark-complexioned Seventh Uncle sipped his teeth while watching.

"Nonsense, when did Mr. Xiaolang lie to us? What the old man said he would do, then he would definitely do it—that's the stars in the sky descending to earth—"

A familiar man scolded with a smile.

"That's true. I'm not going to hide it. I believe Xiao Langjun when he said that this food can be eaten—do you believe it if you dare to go up and take a bite?"

Uncle Seven's humorous words instantly filled the air with joy.

The valley is sunny and well ventilated, and the cement surface hardens quickly.Zhang Chao stretched out his finger and pressed it hard, but it didn't move.Then I tried to stand on it, took two steps, and found that there was no problem at all.Seventh Uncle personally lifted the hammer in his hand, swung the hammer round, and his palms were numb.

"It's so fucking tough!"

Uncle Qi didn't care about his palms that were about to split apart, he grinned and laughed.

One hundred guan, one hundred guan!

Zhang Yansheng squatted down, carefully looked at the crack opened by Uncle Qi, then picked up a piece of debris and said.

"According to Mr. Xiaolang, the quality of this cement may not meet the standard, and the ratio of sand and gravel may need to be adjusted slowly to achieve the ideal state. However, what is certain is that our cement The firing was successful!"

Zhang Yansheng almost jumped up excitedly.

This process is really amazing. Throw a pile of stones into it, and when it is fired, it turns into cement that is better than stones. It is incredible!

"I will write a letter to the Patriarch to announce the good news!"

Zhang Chao stood up excitedly, turned around and left in a hurry.Looking at Zhang Chaoyuan's back, Zhang Yansheng couldn't help but a hint of envy flashed in his eyes.I heard news from the city that Prince Nawang had become the youngest county marquis in Datang.It's really lucky that this Zhang Chao can be valued by Wang Xianhou.It's a pity that I saw the opportunity late at the time, and missed the opportunity to join the sect...

Zhang Yansheng quickly put this thought behind him, stood up and yelled at several craftsmen, readjusted the ratio of sand, cement and gravel, and recorded the data of each time in detail.After this period of training, this young man who was still a bit of a book businessman now has a somewhat rough appearance, and he doesn't find it garish at all when he mixes with a group of craftsmen.

……

"My lord, there is something wrong with this account book. According to what you said, if there is a loan, there must be a loan, and the loan must be equal. In this account book, there are 350 and 120 eight money deficits—"

Miss Qingzi took the account book and checked it several times. When she found that there was no problem, she found Wang Zi'an who was lying in the yard basking in the sun and reported it.

Wang Zi'an lazily sighed, and didn't even remove the two leaves covering his eyes.Miss Haruko was a little confused at the time, if you don't care so much, why did you ask me to work so hard to check the account?
"Humph--"

Miss Qingzi threw the account books and completed forms into Wang Zi'an's arms, and turned back to the house angrily. She also has a temper!
Wang Zi'an laughed dumbfounded, put the form in the account book, and put it under his head casually.Of course there is a problem with the account book, but the problem is not just the account book. This Wang Jiacai is an interesting person.

"Haruko - Haruko -"

Wang Zi'an closed his eyes and yelled twice. Seeing that Miss Qingzi ignored him, he gave instructions to himself.

"Pass the news, just say that I will visit Zhuangzi in a few days—"

Miss Haruko: "Humph——"

The voice was inaudible, so naturally it couldn't be hidden from Wang Zi'an's ears.This girl, could it be that relatives have come recently, and her little mood is very unstable.

"When the time comes, you will come with me—"

After Wang Zi'an finished speaking, he shook his body habitually, only then realized that his reclining chair had been snatched away by Mr. Yu Shinan, and what he was lying on now was a bench...

Most of the leisurely feeling disappeared immediately, he took off the leaves from his eyes, stretched himself, and stood up.When Yang Siqi frees up his hands, the matter of the recliner must be put on the agenda.

He strolled out of the small courtyard, and just as he was about to stroll over to Yang Siqi's side to see the progress, he saw a travel-stained messenger coming on horseback.

"Report to Lord Hou, a letter from Bianzhou—"

The visitor swung the saddle off his horse from a distance, walked quickly to Wang Zi'an's side, took out a letter with wax from his arms, and handed it over with both hands.

Wang Zi'an took it over, and seeing the words on the envelope, a smile could not help showing at the corner of his mouth, he took out a sling of money from his pocket and threw it over.
