Almighty System Great Master Qin

Chapter 113 Wu'an Immortal Art - Turn Mud into Stone

Xiao Hong brought back a hundred catties of limestone from Hanzhong County, and went directly to the brick factory the next day. At this time, the brick factory had already purchased hundreds of catties of fly ash, and the gypsum had also been transferred from the gypsum mine early in the morning. part of it.

"Your Majesty, the fly ash and gypsum are all here." Wang Chen led his people to stand behind Xiao Hong.

"Okay, go and grind the fly ash, gypsum, and these stones into fine powder, remember to store them separately, keep them dry, and keep them away from water." Xiao Hong took out all the limestone in his private space.

"Here, this old slave knows." After Wang Chen bowed to accept the order, he said to the workers in the brick factory, "Do you understand what your majesty said?"

"Understood," the worker bowed to answer.

"Then start immediately." Wang Chen led the workers and started grinding fly ash, gypsum and limestone according to Xiao Hong's instructions.

"By the way, go find some shovels for me." Since the mass production of steelmaking, Xiao Hong has also made shovels. Although they are not comparable to modern craft products, they are at least better than the wooden shovels before. too much.

"My lord, can you see if this is okay?" For an hour, Wang Chen led the workers to grind a large amount of fly ash, gypsum and limestone.

"It's still a bit rough. I'm grinding it finer. By the way, I'll fetch a few buckets of water." Xiao Hong checked and found that the cement was still very coarse. The quality of the cement produced by this method was not good, so he asked them to continue grinding.

After another hour of grinding, it finally met the requirements in Xiao Hong's mind.

"My memory is that fly ash accounts for the largest proportion, followed by limestone, and finally gypsum." Xiao Hong mixed the three raw materials together according to the ratio in his memory, added some water and started stirring with a shovel.

"Huh..." Xiao Hong put down the shovel, looked at the mixed cement, and breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that the ratio in his memory was correct.

Xiao Hong put the prepared mixture into the built-up calcination kiln for calcination. After calcination, the cement is considered to be made.But after all, it is made by local methods, and the quality is definitely not as good as commercial cement, but it is enough for Daqin.

"Wang Chen"

"Your Majesty"

"You remember that fly ash accounts for [-]%, limestone is the stone I brought back, accounting for [-]%, and the rest is gypsum. After mixing them together, pour an appropriate amount of water, stir well, and put them into the kiln for calcination. The cement is ready, have you written it down?" Xiao Hong looked at the cement at his feet and said, "Add the cement to fine stones and sand, and spread it on the road outside the brick factory. Remember to let someone take good care of it until the cement is completely dry After that, let people walk on it, understand?"

"The old slave has written it down." Wang Chen bowed and said.

"Well, let's start making red bricks now. This is the production method. You can follow this method and burn a kiln of bricks first." Xiao Hong handed over the production method of red bricks exchanged from the system to Wang Chen, and asked him to bring Someone first burns a kiln of bricks according to this method.

After finishing everything, Xiao Hong came to Daqin Mining Group non-stop.

"Manager Di, you're here!" The lobby manager hurried to Di Yun's office.

"Follow me to meet you." Di Yun is also very busy recently. Under Xiao Hong's instruction, Daqin Mining Group opened several new mines and a brick factory, which cost a lot of money, and the most troublesome thing is these mines and brick factory. The factory is not profitable now.

Di Yun has been working with the financial staff of the group for the past few days to figure out how to reduce the group's losses. With the gradual stabilization of the steelmaking market, the group's profits have dropped significantly during this period.

As soon as Di Yun walked out of the office, he saw Xiao Hong approaching with big strides, and hurriedly said: "Di Yun will see Mr. Wu An, Mr. Wu An is well."

Xiao Hong helped Di Yun up and said, "Di Yun, let the Daqin Mining Group set up limestone mines in several counties near Xianyang immediately. This is the ore." Xiao Hong put a piece of limestone ore in Di Yun's hand.

"Your Majesty, can we open a mine first?" Di Yun said with some embarrassment.

"What? Is the group out of money?" Xiao Hong asked looking at Di Yun's troubled expression.

"Your Majesty, the previous gypsum mines and brick factories cost a lot of money, and these mines and brick factories have not been profitable at present, and they will soon pay wages to employees, so the money in the group's account Not enough." Di Yun took the account book from his subordinates and handed it to Xiao Hong.

"How could this happen?" Xiao Hong looked through the account books and found that from the beginning of the Dongjun flood to the present, Daqin Mining Group spent a lot of money every day, especially for the purchase of furs. 60 yuan, part of which is the cost of transportation.

Later, Xiao Hong opened a mine and a brick factory, and with the temporary end of the foreign war, the market demand for steelmaking also dropped a lot, and the Daqin Mining Group began to make ends meet.

"It seems that we need to find more ideas to make money." Xiao Hong looked at the account book, which was less than [-] yuan, and said, "Then this mine will not need to be paid by the Daqin Mining Group for the time being, and the expenses will be paid from my treasury first Withdrawal, when the time comes, wait until the group has money, and just make up for me.”

Xiao Hong decided to pay the money himself first, after all, the matter of cement and red bricks cannot be delayed, and the college does not even have a wall up to now.

"Your Majesty, why does this make it possible for the group to open a mine?" Di Yun felt that since she was working for Daqin, it would not be good to use Mr. Wu'an's own money.

"What's wrong with this, you just need to do it earlier, when the time comes, you can make a list and go to Benjun's mansion to withdraw the money. This time, we will start two mines first, and one of them will be located in Hanzhong County. "Xiao Hong directly set the regulations for this matter.

Seeing that Xiao Hong had already made up his mind, Di Yun didn't want to persuade him any more, and could only say with blessings: "Di Yun knows."

"Okay, let's deal with it quickly." After Xiao Hong settled the matter of the mine, he left the Daqin Mining Group. He still has to go to Jiang Xiu to borrow craftsmen. After all, most of the craftsmen in Xianyang are in Jiang Xiu's hands. The most important thing is The craftsmen in Jiang Xiu's hands were all highly skilled, so Xiao Hong felt more at ease letting them build the academy.

"Your Majesty, Xuanwu Guardian, Mr. Wu An performed a magical technique outside the city that can turn mud into stone," the chamberlain bowed.

"Turn mud into stone? Where did this news come from?" Qin Shihuang asked, putting down the memorial in his hand.

"Xuanwuwei learned about it from a place called a brick factory opened by Lord Wuan from outside the city," the servant replied with a bow.

"I know about this brick factory, but I didn't expect it to be the place where Lord Wu An performed his magic! I sent a message to the brick factory outside the city. I want to see with my own eyes Lord Wu An's magic of turning mud into stone." Qin Shihuang couldn't sit still Yes, I plan to go and see it for myself.

The servant "Zunzhi" hurriedly retreated to arrange everything for Qin Shihuang's tour. Regardless of the fact that the brick factory is very close to Xianyang, it can be reached in a 10-minute walk, but even so, the lieutenant still mobilized three thousand imperial troops to guard Qin Shihuang, and Wang Yan even took five hundred Xuanwu guards with him on the trip.
