Chapter 481

……

The limestone and clay are ground into flour and then calcined into mature material. Grinding with clinker and slag left over after ironmaking is cement.

After Li Chengqian asked Zhu Fatzi and his subordinates to process it according to his method, he took a part of the cement, and then poured some water into the cement, and after simple stirring, it became a thin gray muddy water, Li Chengqian took a thin iron sheet and smeared the thin muddy water on a stone in the yard.

The rough surface of the stone has been plastered into a smooth gray shape.

Li Chengqian looked at it with satisfaction.

After letting the stones dry in the sun, Li Chengqian took two more bricks, added some soil to the dilute muddy water, stirred them and painted them between the two stones, and then put the stones together.

Also put in the sun, Li Chengqian clapped his hands, turned his head, and said to Zhu Fatzi: "You continue to burn!" ”

Zhu Fatzi hurriedly responded.

Although he was a little skeptical about Li Chengqian's intention to make cement just now, he did his best to complete the work arranged by Li Chengqian.

Li Chengqian asked his subordinates to bring wooden planks to make a rectangular mold, and then poured a large proportion of sand into the thin cement that had not been used up just now, and then poured water for stirring, and looked at it and felt that there was less cement, Li Chengqian poured in some cement, and after stirring, Li Chengqian poured all these into the rectangular mold, and patted it a few times with a wooden board to flatten it.

"Your Highness, what are you doing here?" Zhu Fatzi saw Li Chengqian's new masterpiece and asked curiously.

Li Chengqian reminded: "In the future, you are not allowed to call Your Highness here." Call Master, Master Li! ”

If you accidentally pass it to Wangjiazhuang. Li Chengqian will never be able to go again.

"Uh, yes, yes. Plum...... Master! Zhu Fatzi said.

Li Chengqian clapped his hands and said, "This is called a brick." ”

"Bricks?"

"That's right, not only can you make building materials, but you can also call people!" Li Chengqian smiled.

Calling people?

Zhu Fatzi looked at it and saw that it was all soft mud, can this call people succeed? I'm just afraid that I'll get the enemy stolen.

Li Chengqian ignored what this fat man Zhu thought, he said: "You continue to burn, burn a bag of cement for me, as a sample, and I will plan the cement plant in a few days." I'll go to Wangjiazhuang first. ”

"Whoa." Zhu Fatzi finished speaking. I have already seen Li Chengqian turn around and walk towards Wangjiazhuang.

When he arrived at the gate of Wangjiazhuang Courtyard, Li Chengqian saw that several carpenters and farmers had already pushed up a large wooden wheel, and it seemed that the main part of the water windmill had been built.

Gui'e saw Li Chengqian after he crossed the slope, and as soon as Li Chengqian arrived, Gui'e had already greeted him with a bowl of water in his hand.

"Master Li, drink a bowl of water."

Li Chengqian took it with a smile on his face, and handed her the bowl after drinking.

Gui'e asked, "Master Li, are you done with the work on the village?" ”

"Well, give a few instructions to those who do the work. Then when they do the work, I'll go back and see! Li Chengqian said.

Hearing Li Chengqian say this, Gui'e suddenly had a general understanding of Li Chengqian's position and functions, and it turned out that Li Chengqian was a master who commanded other people's work. It seems that this master is really a big official!

No wonder Butler Zhu was so polite to him just now.

Li Chengqian saw that the wheels of the water windmill were almost finished, raised his hand and said, "Are the legs done?" ”

The carpenter in Wangjiazhuang is called Ye San, and he is surprised that Li Chengqian can come up with such a way to divert water. Very much admired.

The ancients said that the one who reaches is the first. Now Ye San has come to see Li Chengqian as an elder.

"Master Li. I've already made it for me to do it in vain, and I'll be able to make it soon! Ye San responded.

At this time, Li Chengqian had already gone to the wheel of the water windmill to check it. After reading it a few times, he expressed satisfaction with Ye San's results.

Ye San was very happy when he saw Li Chengqian nodding.

At this time, a young carpenter came over with the legs of the water windmill, and Li Chengqian waved his hand and led a group of people up the embankment.

"Ye San, you take a few people into the water and put the feet on!" Gui'e instructed in advance, she turned around and said to Li Chengqian, "Master Li, you are a master who commands people, you can command from above." ”

Li Chengqian didn't expect Gui'e to care about him so much, so he nodded and agreed to her.

Ye San had already led people to jump into the water, and the sound of ding-dong was non-stop, and soon the feet were nailed into the river. After Ye San got into the water, he and several farmers carried the wheels of the water windmill and put the legs.

After the wheels were placed, the flow of the river pushed the wheels to turn, and soon the bamboo tubes on the wheels carried the river to the highest place, and then fell down.

Seeing that the water was really being brought up, Gui'e, Ye San, Steward Zhou, and the farmers were all stunned.

They didn't quite believe Li Chengqian's words before, or they were more realistic in their hearts, and even if they believed Li Chengqian's words, their expectations were not high. This is the pragmatic farmer. Even if it is Gui'e, although she believes it, it is not as shocking as such a realistic thing.

So when the water windmill really turned, Gui'e and the others froze.

After staying there, Gui'e and the others showed surprise on their faces.

"Great, great, there's water coming in, there's water coming in!" The peasants cheered.

Li Chengqian and Gui'e looked at each other and smiled, then he stretched out his hand and waved, and said, "The water of this windmill may be a little slower, but it is better because it keeps turning, so you can get a cistern here and let it flow in all the time, and then when you want to irrigate the crops, you can get the water in the cistern." ”

"Well, we listen to Master Li, Master Li really has a way!" Gui'e was the first to say.

The others cheered and praised, and it took a while for Li Chengqian to get out of the peasants and follow Gui'e to the village.

After being invited by Gui'e to drink a bowl of water, Li Chengqian saw a peasant coming over with a basket.

When it got closer, the farmer reached out and took out two eggs from the basket and said, "Master Li, thank you for coming and installing a water windmill for us. ”

Can eggs still be useless?

When Li Chengqian heard this lie full of loopholes, he wanted to laugh but couldn't.

Such a lie is too obvious, but it can be seen that the peasant thanked the intention of the gift, and he was afraid that Li Chengqian would refuse, so he found such an excuse to come out.

Gui'e next to her pursed her lips twice, obviously worrying about the IQ of the peasants on her Zhuangzi.

"This big brother, it's useless to give me eggs. I'm eating from the public's house. Li Chengqian pushed.

The farmer refused: "Then Master Li will take it home and give it to his mother-in-law to eat!" ”
