After Song Jinggong found the two brothers with stunts, he went to the palace to find someone to cooperate with the two brothers to catch the eagle, and at the same time he had to face the fake plan of the Yellow River boat rider for scheduling. This can be regarded as busy. Up.
Compared with Song Jinggong’s busy schedule, Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan are much easier here in Luzhou. The infrastructure construction is still going on, but they have little relationship with the two people. All the plans to be done have been completed. The people have finished their work. One item can go on to another item.
There is no monetary return for this kind of investment. The money Zhang Xiaobao spends is mainly recovered by some things on the mountain, as well as special products in the sea. The cycle will be longer. Fortunately, other transactions have been making money. , Zhang Xiaobao is still suppressed, and the longer he suppresses it, the more things he collects from elsewhere, the more he will earn by then.
The construction of the lighthouse has also begun. Use a big boat to pull some pieces of wood, and you can build it directly on top of the reef on the sea. The quality will be worse. At the same time, it will be prone to accidents when encountering strong winds. But it can only be done in advance. Once it’s done, then we can consider using stones instead.
After the fishermen learned about the lighthouse, they all seemed very excited, especially the fleet of shrimps that went out at night to wait for the big harvest.
Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan were doing experiments in a separate courtyard at this time. A person was wearing a large mask and their bodies were tightly shielded. There were a lot of lime and a lot of clay in the courtyard. Some other things that people find, everything in a mess.
Many things Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan didn’t know what they were doing. They dug some mud from the bottom of the sea. This was not from the deep sea, but from the deepest place where the locals could dive, and there were some volcanic ash.
Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan each took a notebook, and remembered every time a mixture was made. Zhang Xiaobao had never done such a job before, but he had heard that two kinds of raw materials could be used to burn cement.
Seeing Wang Juan being there to compare the same, after adjusting the proportions in his hand, he pulled Wang Juan to the side and asked, "Is it just getting burned in the stove like this?"
"Does the scammer have something he can't do?" Wang Juan took off his mask and spat, nodded and said.
"I didn't deceive in this aspect before, the main thing is, what kind of stove is used to burn it?" Zhang Xiaobao really didn't know this. Looking at the things that are well-proportioned, he always felt that just burning like this would not have any effect.
"Of course it won’t work. If you don’t have that kind of technology, mix it with water, put it in a lime kiln, and then take it out to make froth when you’re done. See which one is good, and still do it according to which ratio. It’s too dusty. It's a little more powerful, and it has too much impact on the body of the person who works.
But there is no other way. You can't fix good things without using this cement. If those lighthouses are all built with big stones, then there will be some time to wait. I guess it should be successful, and there are no special things. The use of cement can't be controlled by the label, even if it can produce cement, it is better than the current stone. "
Wang Juan said affirmatively, but he had no bottom in his heart. The technology of this thing was there, and it seemed relatively simple. When it was actually done, there would be failures. Fortunately, the raw materials can be obtained here. It’s good to fail a few times, knowing is one thing, and doing it is another.
Just like diamonds, everyone knows that this is made of carbon, but even if you give you a ton of graphite, you can't get a diamond unless you have that special equipment.
Fortunately, the power of the people is infinite, and colored glaze can be burned so well, not to mention it is cement, glass can also be made in a few days, and we must believe in the wisdom of the people.
Zhang Xiaobao is not good at this matter. He can only listen to Wang Juan. Seeing that Wang Juan said with confidence, he nodded and said, “That’s good, it turns out to be wet, it’s okay, I’m not afraid of firewood. There’s a lot of firewood here, I remember. There should be a coal mine here, let people look for it to see if it can be found, preferably an open-pit mine."
"Well, look, don’t worry about this. There are a lot of firewood, and you can’t finish it at all. If you burn here, the trees there will grow again. The population is small and the resources are large. There is such an advantage. If you don’t cut it directly Trees open up wasteland, no matter how the population is burned, the trees will only grow and grow, and will not decrease.
If you want people not to destroy forests, you can only increase the yield of grain per mu. Otherwise, people here will always feel that there is not enough grain and expand the land vigorously. The land here can be planted in rotation. It can be cultivated and rejuvenated, not to mention this, where do you think the cement factory should be built? How to prevent the damage of dust to the human body? "
Wang Juan talked about the land and turned back to ask about the construction of the factory.
Zhang Xiaobao knows that the scale of this cement plant will not be too large. As long as it meets the current needs, it is always impossible to transport it to the capital to sell. It is better to find a place with the same resources to build the plant there, if not. There is a great need for cement, Zhang Xiaobao really doesn't want to let Wang Juan get it out now.
People here don't seem to care about dust infringements, especially those who burn kilns. Many people who are sick have already accepted their fate, even if they know it's bad for their health, they have to do it, let alone any protective measures.
After thinking for a while, he said: "A place too close to the sea is no good. The humidity is high. The burnt cement will become hard bumps before it can be used. Then find a place on the mountain, or a swamp, and take that swamp. Fill it in. There are many kinds of flowers, plants and trees around. Good trees are not required, as long as they grow fast.
In terms of protection, it is to wrap your body tightly, wear a mask, and a hat that can be put on your head. The person who works must rotate. It is not allowed to keep people working in such an environment, and there is more fruit. , Eat more fungus, that's what you can do, and the conditions are limited. "
Speaking of these protections, Zhang Xiaobao felt a little helpless. He knew that even with such protections, it would still have a great impact on the human body, but if he wanted to use cement, he naturally had to do it like this.
Wang Juan was also more resistant to this method of work. He pondered and said, "Let’s do it first, and wait for the glass to burn out and make them transparent mirrors. They can also be used for diving. We can’t get a flat plate. The glass can be polished with large pieces of glass.
Let them do it first. Let’s think about the gas mask. This doesn’t need to be too good. Just put some charcoal in it. I don’t want to see someone who gets an occupational disease because of burning cement. It’s murder, even if It's worth the larger investment cost, don't you think.
In fact, I think we have done well enough. There are those small cement factories. In order to reduce the cost, they clearly have the conditions to protect the workers, but they don’t use it at all. Not to mention the low wages of the workers, they also know that they are very important to the body. I have to do a big injury. "
When Wang Juan said this, he and Zhang Xiaobao sighed at the same time. Fortunately, the two people don't care about the cost here, as long as they can achieve the goal.
"Come here, come in alone." Zhang Xiaobao saw that Wang Juan had already decided, and shouted at the outside, and immediately someone from the inner courtyard came in and waited for instructions.
"Memorize the labels of these things, then mix them evenly with water, and send them to the lime kiln for burning. Don’t confuse them. Also, remember to keep this matter secret and arrange for you to do it. I don’t want to start They heard something like this in their mouths."
Zhang Xiaobao pointed to the things he and Wang Juan had made, and ordered the people in the inner courtyard.
"Little son and little lady, don't worry. I will never tell the second person, even people in the family. I will gag my mouth at night and don't drink." The person in the inner courtyard promised, he knew , The little son and the little lady have made magical things again, and the work of confidentiality must be done well.
"Gag it, go get it, and when it's finished, you must remember to come and tell us." Zhang Xiaobao knew that this person in the inner courtyard had deliberately said this, smiled and said to the person in the inner courtyard, and quickly pulled it. Wang Juan went to take a bath. He only wore a mask, which could not prevent dust from getting on his body.
Wang Juan also attaches great importance to this confidential matter. Cement can be regarded as a strategic material at this time. The construction of the city wall is fast and strong. If people from other countries can get it, maybe they dare to rely on this. Something to start the war.
And the glass to be burnt after that is also a strategic material. When thinking about this economic war, Wang Juan started to worry and said to Zhang Xiaobao: "Xiaobao, what are you going to do with this cement and glass in the future?"
"How to deal with it? Oh, are you talking about the interest relationship? This is actually easy to handle. Whoever has the patience to insert in, let whoever come in. If you don’t have the ability, you don’t have to be afraid of him. Technology means nothing can be passed on. They invest, just use this ground to give them money.
Anyway, the account is up to us. I will get some fake accounts to cheat them, and they can’t find out. As long as the money given to them makes them feel satisfied, it’s fine. Coming lower and lower, so that they have a psychological preparation. "
This is what Zhang Xiaobao doesn't worry about the least. Monopolistic industries are good, but the interest relationship must be understood, especially in places where power is placed on the surface.
When Wang Juan heard what Zhang Xiaobao said, she temporarily let go of her heart. She felt that Zhang Xiaobao's ability in this area could still be trusted.
"Then are we going to take the big shot, then we can be said to be a rich and adversary country."
"No, no, the big head can never give us. I plan to divide the profit generated by this thing into ten shares, and we will take three shares, and give two shares to those who have the ability to intervene. When I say that, I will give them half, and the other five. Give it to the emperor, who can let someone be the emperor, can you not give it to him?"
Zhang Xiaobao just thinks this is not good. To do something extraordinary, he must first give the emperor enough benefits. He and Wang Juan can care about Li Longji, but they can’t care about his position, unless they are preparing to rebel and become emperors themselves. , But neither of them have the idea, so tired.
If you really allow yourself two to manage a country, you will easily die in that position. After all, if you know a lot, you will be more diligent when you do it. Just look at the leaders of these countries. It was arranged, and there were a few things that appeared suddenly, and there was no freedom at all.
It's nothing more than being able to grow your family, but you have paid too much, and neither of you intends to do that. As for the family, you can get enough food from farming, and you can get money from doing business and cultivate more. An official, let the trained people go busy.
Wang Juan can also understand Zhang Xiaobao’s aggrieved situation in the face of the power, but this is something that can’t be helped. It's very big, the war, let's make it less internal. It's still in the Kaiyuan years, and waiting for Li Longji to get old, think of something to prevent him from making the same mistakes.
Thinking of war, Wang Juan shuddered and said to Zhang Xiaobao: "I think history will be changed."
"Of course, history has been changing since we came into this world. That's why so many people are afraid of cloning people like Napoleon and Hitler. Sometimes history creates people, but history is also caused by people. What we wrote, why don’t we change and have the ability to change, then we must reflect our own value and make the motherland stronger."
Zhang Xiaobao had been prepared for this a long time ago, he didn't feel abrupt, it was so natural to say it.
Wang Juan shook his head: "I'm not talking about slowly improving people's lives. The country's foundation is getting better and better. What I'm talking about is that once you get this cement out, and you make a lot of money from glass, give it to After Li Longji, he will definitely launch a foreign war.
In fact, they are fighting again now. The friction at the border has never been broken. In Sanshui County, there were people from Tubo who immediately sent people to make trouble after losing the battle. Now he does not fight because the country’s strength has returned. Can't fully support it, and at the same time, those prime ministers are suppressing it. When he feels that he has more money, can you say he can't fight? "
"Oh, this? Indeed, there is a lot of money, let alone him. If you change it to any place, they will have to expand abroad. Can't say that in order to prevent foreign aggression, he will have no money. This world is always the same. There is no real peace. People will beat you when you are weak. Instead of waiting to be beaten, it is better to take the initiative to attack.
Fighting, why not be big, in order to promote the development of the entire human society, only through war can we improve science and technology faster, then the same, productivity will rise, I decided to be a great person who promotes human development. "
Zhang Xiaobao made a sacred look. Wang Juan chuckled and slapped Zhang Xiaobao and said, “Don’t tell me how great you are. Whatever promotes the development of mankind, you just say that you have a strong feeling. Nationalist thinking is enough. Don't worry, even if you don't put yourself in such a high position, I won't oppose you.
I am like you, as long as you don’t harm the people of your own country. When other places have not yet become the people of Datang, you can only conquer them. Taking advantage of the weaker strengths of other places, don’t take advantage of the resources. , I am absolutely sorry for myself.
If you want peace, then blend in. Otherwise, there is only war. Unless a certain period of time, when the mutual national strength reaches a relative balance, that is when the war changes its form and when the fists are not strong enough. Someone is reasoning with you. "
"Yes, yes, that's what I think. The peace between wolves and lions is relative to force, and rabbits and lions will never have the right to say that they are not invading each other."
Zhang Xiaobao saw Wang Juan holding himself up, so he was relieved. He was really afraid that Wang Juan would suddenly say to him that to make the world peaceful, the burden would be too heavy, and his immature shoulders could not bear it.
When the two people were talking, they had already reached the swimming pool here, which was actually a big bath, and the water was a bit cold. Fortunately, the two of them could adapt to the freezing point.
With two voices that appeared one after another, Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan jumped into the water. Wang Juan had a swimsuit made of fish skin this time. Zhang Xiaobao was still naked, hitting a bottom in the water, and when he came out , The ash on his body is almost gone.
"Sun, beach, waves, cacti, and an old captain, Taiwan, oh, what is it called now? Liuqiu, yes, that's the name, what else is Penghu Bay, even if I have been to several times, But it still feels so dreamy to me, who is there now? There should be part of the past here, right? The rest are local people."
Zhang Xiaobao lay in the water, looking at the blue sky, and said with emotion there.
"Taiwan is far away from us, Fujian is next to each other, don't you want to fight Taiwan?" Wang Juan doesn't know why Zhang Xiaobao mentioned Taiwan. Does he want to attack
"What is Taiwan? What can I do? As long as the strength is not enough, no matter what kind of generals are arranged in that place, it will be easy to plot the land in the end. If you do not fight, it is just a casual mention. It cannot be effectively managed. It doesn't matter how big a site is. In the end, it's the people on this side who will be separated, so why bother.
Zheng He's voyages to the West did not mean that it was because the emperor named Zhu or something was afraid that he would never return? There is another reason, saying that it costs the country's money, but I always feel that this reason is a bit unreliable. Didn't Zheng He take things back? It is said that some good wood used to hold the ship is very valuable. "
Zhang Xiaobao is not a kid either. He doesn't understand anything. It's impossible to fight one and the other at every turn. If he wants to fight, someone else will fight. He then takes advantage of it, or pushes the flames behind his back.
The two people were chatting here. When they were relaxing, a person hurriedly ran into the inner courtyard. Seeing that they were both in the water, they came directly to the side and reported to Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan: "The newspaper, I just got the news. It came from Guangzhou Mansion, saying that the emperor over the capital had suppressed some of the impeachment of the master, and the impeacher was Ning Cishi of Qinzhou.
It is said that Ning Cishi has transferred the responsibility for the two disasters and the surrounding state governments to the master, saying that the master is an unlucky person. Since the master arrived here, various disasters have begun to occur, and the emperor will give the master to the master. Dispatch to a farther place to be an official. "
After the visitor had finished speaking, he stood there and waited.
"Okay, I see. Go ahead and get busy." Zhang Xiaobao blinked and said to the people in the inner courtyard. His body sank directly, and then he floated up after a while.
Said to Wang Juan: "Ning Cishi? He is shameless and dare to impeach my dad. I really hope he can succeed in impeachment. Where can he be farther away? Hainan Island? Or next to him. The southern part of Jiannan Road in Nanzhao, or the western part of Lingnan Road? It's better to go to the shipwreck, or the other side of Vietnam.
The farther away from the capital, the better. If you can get Liuqiu, it will be more convenient. In fact, I hope to go to Hainan Island and Yazhou. Development there is more advantageous than this place. What a pity, Li Longji I also count on my dad to help build Luzhou.
It is impossible to get my dad to such a remote place. I even suspect that Li Longji is afraid of my dad, or that if our family goes to other places, there will be some danger, then his loss will be great. What is Ning Cishi's name? Now, Ning Zhongze, yes, it is this broken name, where is my name nice.
Toss, let him toss vigorously, and when he is almost done tossing, it will be bad luck. The people in the court are fools, so he can listen to what he says? In this way, the typhoon blew Qinzhou, they didn't make any preparations, so fast, just after that, his fold arrived at the place, and the news came back.
Li Longji clearly did this on purpose. Let us know that he treats our family well. Well, we understand that he will build Luzhou well. Even if he doesn’t help, Luzhou will also build the best place. Since the prosperous big city was affected by the disaster, our people must have played a role.
I have to make arrangements. Isn't he Ningzhong making trouble? Who wouldn't, I also made trouble for him once, to let him know that we are not the kind of people who don't resist being bullied. Okay, that's it. "
Zhang Xiaobao mumbled for a while, and shouted to the outside: "Come here."
"Go and tell my father right away, let me prepare some food and everything here, and then find the people in Qinzhou, and transport the food to Qinzhou. Give those people who have been affected by the disaster, tell them, let They come here to live, they will arrange houses and other things here, and there will be a lot of work for them to do, and they agree to let them join the various chambers of commerce in half a year."
Zhang Xiaobao gave instructions to the people in the inner courtyard who came in, and they immediately told Zhang Zhong about the matter as quickly as possible.
Waiting for the people to leave, Zhang Xiaobao put his arms behind his head, looked at the sky and said, "I see how he can protect the interests of the family without the people in Ningzhong."
