Tan Liu is an orphan, was adopted and raised by Tan Gouzi's family, and at the age of thirteen, he was occupied by Tan Gouzi, who was seven years older than him, and became Tan Gouzi's daughter-in-law, and since then he has been working on the housework of the whole family. www.biquge.info Tan Gouzi is not a diligent person, he just wants to mess around, the whole family is supported by Tan Liu's family, if it weren't for the expansion of the escort team, which includes almost all the young people of the right age in Ma Yuan Village, he is not qualified to enter the escort team.

Yang Youji is two years younger than Tan Liu's, and when he came to Ma Yuan Village to avoid trouble, he was next to Tan Gouzi's family, because there was no woman in the family, Tan Liu's often helped to wash clothes or something, and after a long time, the two were commensurate with sisters and brothers, and the relationship was very good.

Yang Youji secretly made up his mind in his heart that the execution of Tan Gouzi was his own hand, no matter what his character was, he would always let Tan Liu's family have no man, and he must help her live a good life in the future.

Xia Nan looked at Tan Liu's very pitiful, felt pity in her heart, sighed, and whispered to Tan Shan: "Arrange a place for her outside the textile factory to settle her in-laws and son." Although her family was driven out of the village, Tan Liu's wages were still paid, if it is not enough to support the family, you look at the subsidy point, don't say it's my idea. ”

Tan Shan's eyes lit up, so that the life of Tan Liu's family was preserved. He whispered, "Master Shengming." Then he hurriedly went to arrange for Tan Liu's family.

This is how a sudden battle ended. After the arduous battle of Tinan Mountain, the escort team has been trained in actual combat and its combat effectiveness has been improved, and at the same time, Xia Nan has seen that it is imperative for the troops to use firearms. He likes that he can hit others, and others can't beat him, instead of using cold weapons and enemies to exchange lives for lives, injuring the enemy 1,000 and losing 800 himself.

The casualties of the guards this time were not large, and after replenishing the personnel, Xia Nan's most urgent wish was to build his own firearms. But Liu Quan went to Guangzhou to buy pig iron and did not come back, so he had to let Lin Weiye burn the cement first.

The cement kiln was built near the village of Ma Yuan, and according to Lin Weiye's requirements, it was a kind of kiln similar to the lime fired kiln, but it was larger.

The basic materials for firing cement are limestone and clay, both of which are found everywhere. According to the recollection, Lin Weiye instructed the villagers to put the limestone and clay into the vertical kiln for calcination, and after firing the mature material, it was then ground into powder.

I don't know if it's because the proportions are wrong, but the fired thing doesn't look like cement, but it looks like lime slurry mixed with mud after drying. Xia Nan was quite disappointed and said to Lin Weiye: "Viagra, this is not like cement?" ”

Lin Weiye didn't have time to care about what he called himself, thought about it, and replied: "Don't worry, it should be the wrong proportion, too much clay will not harden, too little will lack stickiness, try again." ”

He experimented with several ratios, lime and clay at three to two, five to three, and three to one, and finally came to the conclusion that three to one was the best. The next step is shade drying, after it is shade drying, mixed with water to make a puree. After waiting for hardening, the color is similar to that of the common stones used to build houses and bridges, and the hardness is quite high.

Summer Nan, who was observing at the scene, shouted: "Epoch-making cement is born!" ”

"This is close to low-grade cement, but the hardness doesn't seem to be enough, the real Portland cement should be as hard as rock after hardening, isn't there any additives missing?" Lin Weiye was puzzled.

Xia Nan took an iron rod and beat it a few times, and the hardness felt good. He said indifferently: "This is very good, it is more than enough to build a port, and it can also be dripped to build a city wall." ”

"If I'm not mistaken, it seems to be adding slag from iron smelting. This kind of cement is used for emergency purposes for the time being, and after the development of iron ore and its own ironmaking, add slag to try. Lin Weiye was not discouraged, but the spirit of overcoming technical difficulties came up.

"It's good, let's run in small steps, perfect as we go. This semi-finished product is first used in the construction of the wharf. Xia Nan thought for a while, "Send Tan Er to help you set up the shelves of the cement workshop, and let him be the manager of the workshop." ”

The cement has achieved initial results, and Nankai slipped back to Hujiazhuang in the summer. Recently, I have been under a lot of pressure at work and need the comfort of Chunlan and Xia He.

Chunlan and Xia He are like wives waiting for their husbands to return, staying quietly in Hujiazhuang, no matter when Xia Nan comes back, they are there.

As soon as Xia Nan entered the courtyard, he stretched out his hands exaggeratedly: "Chunlan, Xia He, my lord, I'm so tired, I need your comfort!" He made a gesture to hug the two of them, and both of them blushed, but they stepped back at the same time in a tacit understanding, avoiding the clutches of the master.

Hey! This shouldn't be, the two little girls have always been very well-behaved! Xia Nan thought that the two of them were embarrassed in broad daylight, and said with a smile: "Let's go, go to the master's room, and give the master a good horse to kill chickens!" As he spoke, he reached out to pull the two of them, but the two of them did not move, but looked to the side in unison.

Looking to the side following their eyes, Xia Nan's next words were choked in her mouth, almost choking on saliva - Maria was sitting on a chaise longue in the courtyard, looking at him with a smile. Behind him stood the orb and jade.

Xia Nan's brain suddenly started to run quickly, should he continue to flirt with the maid as if nothing happened, or continue to pretend to be a dedicated gentleman? He took great pains to deal with his relationship with Maria.

In the long run, it is necessary to trap Maria and thus keep his uncle and his suitor William, maintain an ambiguous relationship with Maria, and hold the last line of defense. Although Xia Nan is sure that Maria will be overthrown in a short period of time, it may create an impression of frivolity for Maria and Charles, and force William away - William, who came from the Royal Navy, is an important part of his future naval plans - what he needs is not a one-night stand, but Maria's love and the effectiveness of Charles and William.

Of course, he also likes Maria, this is not a simple beautiful man's plan, he wants both fish and bear paws, so he carefully grasps the scale between the two. This approach had been successful until the first moment - Maria became more and more dependent on him and was willing to learn Chinese, Charles was willing to stay, William was not angry, but he still maintained the idea of fair play, and everything was on the expected track.

But now, what should I do? If you don't handle it carefully, you will lose all your efforts. Xia Nan regretted it, why didn't he check the scene before coming in, he didn't even notice such an obvious enemy situation.

He regretted it in his heart, but he kept a smile on his face, turned ninety degrees to the right, and quickly turned from the maid to Maria: "Dear Maria, why are you here, the weather is so good today, I am about to invite you to take a walk by the river!" ”

I tried to pretend nothing had happened, but my voice still sounded a little stiff.
