Aristocratic Concubine

Chapter 466 Production of Cement (1)
"Da Rong has many coal mines, although Da Zhou also has them, but they are very poor. However, Da Zhou has limestone, which is a good thing." Wan Qing said to the prince with a smile.

"Limestone is White Stone. I don't know where she got these names. It's weird." Shangguan Yeli explained for Wanqing.

The prince nodded, looking at Wanqing with bright eyes, waiting for her next words.

"Limestone, coal slag and clay can be fired into cement. There are not many coal mines in Dazhou, but there are a lot of limestone." Wanqing said confidently.

"Cement? What is it?" the prince asked puzzled.

"I can't say it well. This kind of thing is paved on the road, which can harden the road surface and prevent mud from being mined. It is a very practical building material. It is used for paving roads and building houses, and ground hardening. The most important thing is quicklime. There is alkali in it, and alkali can be used to make many things that we must use in our lives." Wanqing frowned slightly, remembering that soap was the favorite thing for time-traveling girls in her previous life, can't she be exempt?

"Is it for making tofu?" Shangguan Yeli asked from the side.

Wanqing nodded with a smile, "Well, Your Highness, our Dazhou's products are more abundant than Darong's. Let's make the cement first, and then take your time. In short, the things in my head can't be wasted. That's it."

That night, the prince had a long talk with Shangguan Yeli and his wife until the morning. The more they talked, the more excited they became. That night, he wrote all Wanqing's thoughts into the memorial and sent a horse to the capital.

Naturally, Shangguan Yeli's position as chief governor has long been gone, but the crown prince has not appointed his own governor. With the help of Prince Kang, Shangguan Yeli's family still lives in the governor's mansion. Since the limestone mine is not far from Longjing Town Therefore, Shangguan Yeli did not return to the capital immediately, but stayed in Longjing Town to help Wanqing develop cement together.

The memorial to the emperor soon received a reply. The emperor wisely agreed to many of the crown prince's suggestions. For a while, Da Zhou vigorously purchased coal from the Dayong Kingdom. Let's talk about cement being developed in the north.

Wanqing was always worried about Yu Xinyou and Bicao. When she returned to the Dudu's Mansion in Longjing Town, she saw Bicao, Yu Xinyou and Zhui'er lining up outside to meet her. Wanqing's eyes were moist and strong. Enduring so much that they didn't cry out, Yu Xinyou and Bicao's eyelashes were naturally filled with tears. They hadn't seen each other for half a year, and it was like a lifetime ago. Knowing that Wanqing came back safe and sound, Yu Xinyou and the others were both happy and happy. With emotion, hold Wanqing and talk non-stop.

Yu Xinyou looked at Shangguan Yeli's happy expression, and she was also moved in her heart. When Wanqing was taken captive, Ah Li almost went crazy. In that month, she almost searched for Wanqing's traces like a raging leopard. Entering the Beibei camp, fortunately, Lord Kang tried his best to dissuade him from doing stupid things. During that month, Yu Xinyou was also deeply guilty, and Ah Li entrusted Wanqing's safety to her , and she didn't protect Wanqing well, which made her faceless to face Ah Li.

However, later, Ah Li also left, and the husband and wife disappeared for half a year. No one knew how they lived or died. The prince sent someone to guard her. As the concubine of Jingning Hou, Yu Xinyou suppressed the servants in the mansion, tried her best to support the Dudu Mansion, and struggled through the six months that made her hard to look forward to in her life.

Lord Kang naturally became the benefactor of Shangguan Yeli and his wife. Shangguan Yeli understood that if Lord Kang didn't help them deal with and protect them this time, his family in the Dudu Mansion would definitely be in trouble. Therefore, after the prince left, Wanqing and Shangguan Yeli sincerely thanked Prince Kang.

Kang Wang still had the smiling face of Yifu, but when he saw Wanqing's slightly plump face, he sighed faintly and said, "I originally thought that after my brothers and sisters were taken captive to Beirong, they would live happily ever after." An inhuman life, I never thought that in the past six months, this king has been worrying about you in Dazhou, worrying to death, but you and your wife are living a very comfortable and comfortable life."

Wanqing saw the sincere joy in Prince Kang's smiling eyes, and knew that these bitter words were just venting the pain of worrying in the past six months, so she bowed respectfully.

Kang Wang shook his head and said: "Forget it, I originally said that as long as you can come back safely, it will be..." Kang Wang behind did not continue to speak, but there was a faint glint in those thick black eyes. Laughing at himself, he smiled and said: "You don't have to thank me too much, I am afraid of you, especially A Li, if he finds his wife back and sees the mess in the mansion, he will not flay me Go? I don’t have good intentions to protect this Governor’s Mansion, it’s just to prevent future troubles.”

Lord Kang is really caring, a few jokes made the atmosphere much more relaxed, Wanqing and Shangguan Yeli felt a little more comfortable in their hearts, and when they were about to speak, King Kang said again: "Speaking of it, I have to thank you all As for the husband and wife, it was the first time in history that King Dayong took the initiative to seek peace. You can go back to Kyoto to embrace the beauty."

Wanqing asked about Shangguan Zimo and Ouyang Luoyi, Lord Kang shook his head and said: "I went back to Beijing, the incident was too big, the empress dowager was furious, but there was nothing I could do. The two got married, and now they are living back in the Jingninghou Mansion. Let me remind you in advance that my cousin is not a good person, but she is a member of the royal family after all, and my eldest aunt only has this kind of blood. , The Queen Mother is always gentler with her."

Wanqing didn't say anything after hearing this, anyway, she doesn't need to go back to Beijing yet, and she doesn't need to think so much for the time being.

After Prince Kang left, Wanqing began to ask about some locks in the mansion. What surprised her the most was that after she was taken away, the production of down jackets in the mansion did not stop. Yu Xinyou told Wanqing that it was all thanks to The girl Shu Xin has been working hard to support her, and now the down jacket is still bought by Bayan and returned to Beirong, and the business has not been interrupted.

Fang's mother sent someone to call Shu Xin and Ouyang Su, but Shu Xin came very quickly. When the girl's family saw the mistress returned safely, sincere tears appeared in her eyes. Wanqing thanked her repeatedly, and Shu Xin smirked happily. He said: "Where did Madam say that, if Madam hadn't rescued her, Shu Xin is still suffering in the salt field, I'm afraid she wouldn't even survive her life, Shu Xin just did some small things, how could she be worthy of Madam's thanks."
