"Qi'an, you let Lingling do such a dangerous thing, and you didn't even tell me."

After returning to the village, the village chief found Li Qian and complained.

He didn't know anything about the bandits who killed Heifengling today.

Moreover, he didn't know about the fact that Ma Lingling led people to train before.

When I heard my daughter talk about it afterwards, I was immediately shocked.

"Village Chief, I really have to say that Ling Ling is a rare talent. She has the appearance of a female general. She will definitely be a figure in the future." Li Qi'an said to the village chief, arm in arm.

The village chief threw his arm off and said, "Don't come here. I don't care what you do, but I can't let Lingling follow you. I don't have a problem with Tiezhu doing things with you, but after all, Lingling is a girl's family, so with you

If this goes on, how will she get married in the future?"

"Village Chief, are you still worried about Lingling's marriage? I can tell you that for a girl like her, there will be many people who want to marry her in the future, and she will be able to choose from all kinds of talents.

"Li Qian chuckled.

"Then are you willing to marry her? I think it is most suitable for you to marry her. I will not care about what you do in the future." The village chief said.

Li Qian staggered and almost fell to the ground.

"Village Chief, I have a wife, how could you have such an idea?"

"It is natural for a man to have three wives and four concubines. Besides, I don't think Lingling will suffer any injustice if she marries you," the village chief said.

Li Qi'an opened his mouth and was speechless for a long time. He really couldn't continue talking today.

"Li Qian, what I said is serious. Although you have Yun Niang, what does it matter? I am willing to let Ling Ling grow up in your home, which is already the biggest concession. Do you still dislike our Ling Ling?"

Li Qian's look made the village chief angry.

"Village Chief, you underestimate Lingling too much, and you think too highly of me. If you didn't tell me that I have Yun Niang, even if I didn't, Lingling wouldn't think of marrying me. Well, what happened before was my fault.

No, I shouldn't have kept it from you. Now that you have a lot of money, please forgive me." Li Qian clasped his hands and said.

"What would you say if my daughter is willing to marry you?" the village chief said with a smile.

"I'm going to see Tie Zhu and see how the stones he burned are doing." Li Qian didn't dare to talk any more and quickly made an excuse and ran away.

The village chief just laughed and said, "I can't explain it to you. I'll go talk to Yun Niang."

To the north of Beiba Village is a river. It is said that this river is a branch of Chaotian Lake, the largest lake in the county.

It's just a rural place where life is a problem. Who would have the leisure to build ships and dig rivers?

Tie Zhu was directing a group of people to pick up a lot of pebbles by the river and burn them in the fire.

This was what Li Qi'an asked him to do. He didn't understand why he had to burn the rocks before.

But later I learned that something called lime can be produced by calcining these stones.

It is then mixed with clay and gypsum to form something called cement.

Li Qian said it could be used in building houses.

He didn't believe it at first, until he saw with his own eyes that this thing called cement held the bricks together tightly. The strength was many times stronger than clay.

In this era, there was no cement, and clay was used to build houses.

He admired Li Qian so much that he fell in love with him.

A scholar is a scholar, and he knows so many things.

Gypsum, lime, and cement were things he had never heard of before.

So now he also obeys Li Qian's words.

No matter what Li Qian asked him to do, he never hesitated at all and never asked why.

This is what Li Qi'an admires most about Tie Zhu now. He works hard without complaining and doesn't talk too much.

Moreover, he works very seriously.

In fact, the biggest contributor to the success of cement was Tie Zhu. Li Qian only told him some of the process, but it was Tie Zhu who actually put it into practice.

Without Tiezhu's repeated experiments, this cement would not have been successful.

Although the current cement cannot be compared with the cement of later generations, it is already quite remarkable for this era, and there are no problems at all when used in construction.

Of course, Li Qi'an would not think about mass-producing cement now. Not only that the conditions were insufficient, there was no need for it. If it were not for building houses, he would not tinker with such a thing.

After all, as a modern person, the house is not built with cement, and he is not comfortable living in it.

"Tiezhu, I want you to burn more lime. Will it be done soon?" Li Qian came to the river and asked.

"Two batches have been burned, and this is already the third batch." Tie Zhu said.
