For example, iron pipes, such as screws, such as bearings and rubber tires and other products, form a scale and sufficient production and sell them to other countries, etc., and hand over these suggestions to Guan Xiaoyun, the secretary, to sort out and send them to the palace in the form of a chapter to Yang Xing, as a reference for the future economic development of the empire, and at the same time, it is also to inform all officials in this formal way of the direction of development in the future, and give certain preferential policies to encourage the people to participate and get rich together, because only the people get rich, In order to drive the rapid development of the economy, the empire can collect a large amount of taxes and enrich the treasury.

Yang Xing was not ambiguous after receiving Yuan Fang's recital, and the next morning the court read Yuan Fang's recital in public, and made a series of arrangements and adjustments according to Yuan Fang's ideas, and did not use Yang Xing's words to explain Yuan Fang's intentions, a group of ministers are not idiots, although these policies seem to be policies that benefit the people by losing the interests of the empire on the surface, but in fact, everyone knows very well that the ultimate benefit is still the empire, so no one has any objections, They all agreed with Yuan's approach and said that they would try their best to cooperate with the implementation.

When Yang Xing discussed state affairs with a group of ministers, Yuan Fang was not idle, and stayed at the construction site of the military hospital all day, studying the asphalt road and floor rubber with a few foremen.

The test of rubber is very successful, several experienced rubber farmers through these days of continuous attempts, and finally developed a solidification molding, not only beautiful and non-slip, but also easy to clean, with waterproof, to prevent dust penetration, the most eye-catching is that this building material is the first time to appear in this world, walking on it a bit of a stall feeling, giving people a refreshing meaning.

Also, after adding a certain adhesive, it can also be blended into a variety of colors according to preference, compared with the monotonous use of various stones on the traditional ground in the past, the choice of color is more, more practical, of course, this refers to the special place of the hospital, if it is used to pave the road, the rubber is far less wear-resistant than the plate oil road.

The floor glue came out, and even Yuan Fang felt that the quality was much better than what he had seen in the hospital before, but the problem was that the huge military hospital had many buildings and a huge indoor area, so how to lay it was a problem. When laying this kind of thing, it needs to be baked and softened at high temperature, so that it can better adhere to the ground and form a whole, but with such a large area and no tools such as baking lamps, how to lay it, this problem stumped Yuan Fang and all the craftsmen.

There are no suitable tools, there is not enough experience, everyone is feeling the stones to cross the river, and in the end there is really no way, Yuan Fang can only use the most stupid method, with the way of heating iron bars to bake, although this method is very lame, time-consuming and labor-intensive, but the most important thing in this world is cheap labor, the big deal is to spend more time.

Also, the laying of the rubber is not just to pour a big lump on the ground and then evenly flattened, there are certain requirements for the original ground, otherwise after the laying, the ground is still potholed and very unsightly, so Yuan Fang at any cost, the pursuit of perfection, first requires the foreman to lay a layer of flat but not smooth bluestone on the indoor ground, clean and dry and then lay the rubber, so that the ground is relatively flat.

The matter of the rubber has a result, two foremen and a few rubber farmers work separately, while laying the bluestone ground while pasting the glue, Yuan Fang is satisfied with the results of everyone after the inspection, simply leave it alone, and continue to play with his plate oil road.

Asphalt and gravel, which have been sent in a lot these days, especially the gravel, has almost become a hill in the compound.

Boil asphalt, the workers on the construction site are no strangers, everyone has such an experience, a few cauldrons plus a fire, hard asphalt blocks thrown into the pot, heated and melted with a stick to stir evenly, is the taste is a little unpleasant, and then Yuan Fang had a whim, after learning that rosin is cheap, he threw some into the asphalt pot, and the taste was not so pungent.

The asphalt melts, the gravel is placed in a large iron trough, the asphalt is poured and the asphalt is poured to start manual mixing, the problem comes again, the viscosity of the asphalt gradually increases with the decrease of temperature, and before the workers mix evenly, the asphalt has become extremely sticky, and the workers can no longer continue with the strength of milk, and have to stop the useless efforts.

Looking at the asphalt and stones stuck into a lump Yuan Fang's brows furrowed, not knowing what to do, Sang Rou found a stick and knocked it hard, the asphalt did not react, but the surface gravel fell off a lot, Sang Rou frowned and said: "Brother-in-law, is the plate oil road you said really good?" Why don't I feel too strong, these stones will fall off at the slightest knock, and if the road is paved, a few carriages will not be able to fill the road with small potholes? ”

Yuan Fang picked up a piece of fallen gravel, looking at the smooth appearance of the gravel and scratching his head, the asphalt has a certain degree of adhesion, but the effect is not as good as imagined, if so, the paved oil road is really like Sang Rou worried that it is all small holes in gravel.

After thinking about it over and over again, Yuan Fang thought of a solution that was a binder, adding a binder to the asphalt to make the asphalt have better adhesion, and this kind of adhesive did not delay any time, there are ready-made ones in this world, and they are sold in building materials stores, and the price is not expensive, and ordinary people use this kind of thing to build houses. After trying, the adhesion of asphalt has really improved a lot, and the asphalt and gravel of this test are extremely firm, even if Sang Rou beats it, it is difficult to shake off the gravel, and the two have almost become a whole.

The problem of bonding is solved, the rest is the problem of mixing, and when laying the ground, it is necessary to maintain a certain temperature, thinking about it, Yuan Fang decided to use a mixer, the so-called mixer is a flat cylinder, which has an oblique mixing partition, there is a feeding port on the top, there is a discharge door next to it, and below, Yuan Fang is designed as a large furnace for heating, so that there is no need to worry about the asphalt solidifying when mixing.

As for power, Yuan Fang still had no choice but to use manpower, and later the foreman proposed to make something similar to a waterwheel, replacing manpower with livestock, which could be regarded as saving his workers from the coolie industry. The mixer has no technical content, and the blacksmith who found it understood what Yuan Fang meant, but this thing is too large, and it is more difficult to make, especially in many places where welding is needed, and the technical work of welding is not something that ordinary blacksmiths can do, fortunately, the Ministry of Industry has reserves of talents in this area, and the same is true of the Plum Blossom Chamber of Commerce, with the concerted efforts of both sides, it took five blacksmiths two days, and the mixer was finally completed, and both the material and the process are the best at the moment.
