I'm a marquis in Datang

All eyes fell on Diao Peng.

Many people actually have bad eyesight.

Because craftsmen like them actually have a very low status.Now that Yuan Kewang has received Du Qi's award, it is an excellent thing.But now that Diao Peng stood up to oppose it, it was a bad start, so many people didn't like it.

Yuan Kewang didn't speak.

He just watched.

After all, he is the inventor, so it is up to Du Qilai to decide how to judge.

Diao Peng gritted his teeth and said, "My lord, the mud that Yuan Kewang discovered is at best pasted on the wall, and it's not very useful. It looks like it's useful, but it's actually not very useful. So I think the reward from you is a bit Passed. Yuan Kewang has a new invention, which deserves to be rewarded, but it is not appropriate to reward the highest level."

"wrong!"

Du Qi shook his head and spoke.

Diao Peng said: "Please show me, my lord."

Du Qi looked around, glanced at the people looking at him, and said: "This mud, on the surface, seems to be useless at present, but it is actually very useful."

"With a little improvement, this item can be used to build roads and even city walls. Imagine a rough road, and the road is even more muddy after it rains. But this kind of mud solidifies to form stone slabs, and when it is laid on the road, it will be The road is hard, and the road will not be flooded, so the road will be easy to pass.”

"Whether it is a road or a house, using this mud can make a big difference."

"So, mud is extremely useful."

Du Qi's eyes were sharp, and he looked forward to it, and said: "This is a new business opportunity. Of course, Yuan Kewang's invention still has many shortcomings, and there are many problems in the details. These can be adjusted slowly."

Chapter 501 The Birth of Cement

The advent of cement

Yuan Kewang said: "My lord is wise!"

After Diao Peng heard it, he stopped talking. After all, Du Qi's decision was not wrong in the current situation.What's more, Du Qi is the sponsor, and Du Qi's decision is right no matter what.

Diao Peng gritted his teeth and said, "My son said so, so I will admit it. But whether it can be implemented or not is still unknown. So I am currently holding a wait-and-see attitude, and I will be completely convinced when the real finished product is produced."

Du Qi said: "You will see."

Du Qi praised Yuan Kewang's invention very much, because it represented the emergence of cement.Although the current mud is far inferior to cement, as long as it is improved, even if it still cannot reach the level of cement in the future, it can still be used.

This is fine.

Du Qidao: "Yuan Kewang, are you literate?"

"Literacy!"

Yuan Kewang replied.

Du Qidao: "At night, you come to my study, and I will give you some books, which will help the improvement of the mud. Now, the mud is just a rough formula, and it cannot achieve the real effect."

Yuan Kewang said: "Yes!"

He responded directly.

It's just that Yuan Kewang's heart is a little weird.The fact that the mud solidified was only discovered by him through research, and he discovered it by accident. No one knew about it before, and no one had any discovery.

Du Qi said that some books related to it.

How is this involved?

Yuan Kewang was puzzled, so he didn't ask. After all, the young master is very knowledgeable.Such as Quyuanli, movable type printing, etc., are all created out of nothing, and they were invented by the young master.

It is normal for the young master to know the plan of transforming the mud because of his extensive knowledge.

Du Qi was quite happy in his heart. After leaving the craftsman's workshop, he returned to his study and began to search for the technical process of cement production in his mind. In this era, there is a lack of high-tech equipment, so it can only be made simply, and then slowly development of.

After searching, Du Qi began to write down.

The cement production process he wrote down is extremely simple.After all, various raw materials such as limestone and clay can be directly found nowadays, and rough processing is no problem.

Du Qi is not worried about the production of cement.As long as it is done, it can be improved step by step. After all, this is a long process, and it is impossible to reach the level of future generations in one step.

When Du Qi wrote the cement production process, he forgot the time as soon as he wrote it.

A day has passed, and Du Qi also wrote clearly about the production process and process of cement. There are many plans and different raw materials can be used.

After dark, Liu Jian entered.

Liu Jian bowed and said, "My lord, Yuan Kewang is here."

Du Qi ordered: "Please come in."

"Yes!"

Liu Jian turned around and went to deliver the order.

After a while, Yuan Kewang entered in a new suit.He arched his back slightly, and when he saw Du Qi, he had a look of expectation on his face, and he quickly saluted, "Young master!"

Du Qi said: "Sit!"

"Thank you sir."

After Yuan Kewang heard the words, he lifted up his robe and sat down.Although he said he was sitting on a stool, he was sitting on half of his buttocks, which seemed rather cramped.After all, when he faced Du Qi, the gap in status made him very nervous.

Du Qi took out the cement production process book he had just written, put it on the desk, and said, "Take this book back and think about it carefully. Today's mud formula is far from the standard. Next, you follow the book The data experiment mentioned above, let me know when it is successful."

"Yes!"

Yuan Kewang stood up and took the books.

On the cover of the book, there are six big characters - cement manufacturing process!

Yuan Kewang was puzzled when he saw this, but he didn't look through it immediately, but returned to his seat honestly, waiting for Du Qi to continue talking.

Du Qi continued: "Master Yuan, the production of cement is not a secret, but the formula is a secret and must not be leaked, do you understand?"

"understood!"

Yuan Kewang nodded and answered.

Craftsmen like Yuan Kewang valued these technical secrets the most.For a craftsman, the formula is the basis of inheritance and must not be leaked.

Du Qi waved his hand and said, "Okay, go ahead."

"Yes!"
