Chapter 272 If you want to wear a crown, you must bear its weight
Hearing that Xia Yuhui had already obtained a lot of limestone and the like, Tang Shiyue dictated the method of making clay cement.
Ever since she fell into the Blackwater River, she didn't know if it was a blessing in disguise or if she had controlled the water in her brain... Anyway, she felt that her brain had become extraordinarily clear, and some of the previously vague knowledge points had become clearer, even some that she hadn't learned much about before.
It is easy to figure out the knowledge that you have been exposed to, as if the super brain buff has been triggered.
Because Magistrate Lin was not here, she gave one to Ding Xiaoyan and asked him to pass it on to His Royal Highness... Now the two of them had a tacit understanding. Ding Jiu had revealed his identity as a dragon guard, but because he didn't tell her face to face, she
We still regard them as His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.
At the same time, another one was given to Xia Yuhui, telling them to work on building the road by themselves, because she was still busy at home with Huo Qijing.
To make soil and cement, the method is very simple.
Clay, pottery slag, ceramic slag, slag ash, etc., alone or mixed, account for 75%. Quicklime accounts for 20% to 25%. Add water to gypsum to make mature gypsum, heat and stir-fry in an iron pot until it turns yellow-grey.
Used to adjust the setting speed of cement.
These things are dried in an earth kiln, then ground into fine pieces, and mixed according to the above proportions to become soil cement. The finer the ground cement, the higher the strength, the faster the solidification speed, and the corrosion resistance effect than ordinary cement.
fine.
Dongfeng County is a mountainous area, with mountains everywhere. Limestone is already there, and clay is everywhere. All you need to buy is gypsum, which is not expensive. As for the earth kiln, it is already available in the village. You need to make soil and cement.
It's really not difficult.
The only difficult part is the crushing step. In this era, we can only rely on stone mills to grind slowly. Fortunately, there are many people who come here to inquire about Lady Fu, so we can easily hire a worker and grind the mill for a day.
The news that Enfu County Lord wanted to build a road quickly spread.
Within two days, Magistrate Qin came.
Because Magistrate Lin had been promoted, after Tang Shiyue woke up, they hurriedly held a happy event for Chen Changqing and Lin Qiaoqian, and then Magistrate Lin left. Magistrate Qin took office.
It is said that he came to visit Tang Shiyue twice when he was in a coma, and once again after he woke up. When Tang Shiyue saw him, he felt that this person was a little slippery, that he was good at flattery and not pragmatic.
She doesn't like it very much.
County Magistrate Qin was very attentive to her and personally brought people from the Dongfeng Chamber of Commerce over.
Zhou Kun, the president of the Dongfeng Chamber of Commerce, came with his son. He greeted him very politely and said that he would contribute money to build the road together.
Tang Shiyue, who originally only wanted to build a road from the village to the town, suddenly felt very embarrassed... and felt that the ideological level was inferior to that of the indigenous people again.
But since everyone had this intention, she didn't refuse. How can the flames be high if everyone adds firewood? Anyway, she built the road for the convenience of travel, not for fame and fame. Of course she doesn't care if everyone shares the credit.
So everyone from the Dongfeng Chamber of Commerce and the Meng family joined in, and Shopkeeper Shen and Hu Ge also contributed money.
What they didn't expect was that everyone responded to the call, and in the end, many people were willing to give money. Even the old clan leader of Jubao Village came with several clan elders to offer some money.
Tang Shiyue simply told everyone that a monument would be erected every ten miles away to indicate who paid for this section of road. In addition to the main roads, everyone could also contribute their own money to build roads near their homes, and then build roads near their homes.
A cement factory has been built in the town. If you want to repair it, you can make an appointment.
But Tang Shiyue still needed to rest, and even if she didn't need to, she wouldn't do such dusty things as road construction, so she acted like a big shopkeeper and left the matter to President Zhou and Hu Ge.
But now that she is the county queen, everyone's mentality has changed.
Chairman Zhou and his son seemed to be much more reliable than Wu Deyi. Being entrusted by her like this, it was like being given a shot of blood. The father and son took the lead and visited the scene in person every day to watch these people do it.
In fact, married men these days do not hesitate to work hard. Road construction is very fast. The main road was completed in a few days. At the same time, the road from Jubao Village to the town was specially built.
Tang Shiyue has always advocated using local people to do work, allowing them to earn some extra money and subsidize their family income, so Zhou Kun and Hu Ge continued to build, and the personnel were all mobile, and they only maintained a technical team of nearly fifty people.
, masters the production of cement, and other handymen are recruited from the local area.
Huo Qijing said to her: "While we have some help, can we ask them to help us take care of the house?"
Tang Shiyue can do it once he hears it.
She has long wanted to move out. The transportation is convenient. There is Qingwei in the martial arts school here and Qiao Sangyu in Yuefang. What she needs to worry about more is the mess in the town.
So I agreed.
Huo Qijing was obviously prepared for it. He asked someone to buy a three-in-one courtyard, and built a small garden in the back. He planned to dry it for a few days, buy some things and move it there. Then it was almost time for Huo Qijing to leave.
Because he said this unintentionally, Tang Shiyue became childish and put it off for several days, just not looking at it.
But if she doesn't go, Huo Qijing will have to leave too.
Tang Shiyue lost his temper for a long time, and asked him at the same time: "Can't you just say a word and not leave? You can also coax me!"
Huo Qijing just laughed: "If I really don't leave, you should scold me and stop liking me."
Tang Shiyue was speechless.
Really...
Looking at her expression, he slightly curved his mouth, held the top of her hair and rubbed it: "Give me three years."
She said: "When my brother finishes the exam, I will hand over all the things at hand and move to Xuzhou to be with you."
His eyes lit up: "Okay, as long as I can become a general, I can go in and out of the military camp at will."
He hugged her and said, "I'll wait for you to come."
When Huo Qijing went back, although he didn't have a month's vacation, it was almost there.
Yan Shiwei was very disappointed with his lack of ambition and looked very cold, but he didn't say much and just asked him to return to the team.
He really felt that it was a pity. Originally, he had walked on a broad road. He could just take advantage of the momentum and walk all the way up. Who knew that he would have to take a side road, and then he would get twice the result with half the effort.
Unexpectedly, Huo Qijing brought back a lot of dried meat and wine, and they all had a drink while they were not on duty. They successfully drank everyone down, and when they woke up, they were good brothers with the same integrity.
Moreover, he bluntly said that his wife was sick and he went back to visit her and brought back some ointment.
People who spend a lot of time at the beach are most likely to get dampness poison, which makes it extremely itchy when it attacks. His ointment is a small jar, but it has an immediate effect, and a group of envious rough guys want it.
Yan Shiwei had to admit that he underestimated him. This Huo Qijing was really worthy of having grown up in a military camp. He knew everything about this place! He didn't need to worry about it at all!
It was at this time that he received a letter from home.
King An was suffering from wind disease. He went back for a visit and then came back. He was very worried all the time.
Now that I know the news of recovery, I am naturally very happy.
I am also very grateful to Enfu County Lord who donated the medicine...
Wait? Mr. Enfu County? Isn’t this Huo Qijing’s “unmarried wife”? So His Highness the Crown Prince did not hesitate to write a letter in person and asked for leave on his behalf. It turned out to be because this Mr. Enfu County knows how to prepare medicine for wind diseases?
As soon as I thought about this, and then thought about the judgment I had made before, the look on my face... I suddenly felt ashamed.
On Tang Shiyue's side, as soon as Huo Qijing left, everyone rushed over to accompany her.
Especially in Yuefang, she had only learned more than half of the crochet patterns. Qiao Sangyu didn't dare to disturb her before, so he brought her here to distract her.
While Tang Shiyue was teaching, the two of them were chatting. When Qiao Sangyu heard her talk about the situation at that time, she was so frightened that she slapped her chest: "These people who kill a thousand people! What are they doing!"
Tang Shiyue said: "I don't know, maybe it has something to do with 'the boss'?" She blinked suggestively.
"Why?" Qiao Sangyu was a little surprised: "We are all ordinary people. Even if the master is the Lord of Enfu County, isn't that what you are called... It's so far away, why do they come to kill you?"
"How to put it," Tang Shiyue said: "You have to understand that the words 'Enfu County Lord' are not just nice words, nor are we the price paid by the saint for vaccination. Things are not that simple.
of."
Qiao Sangyu was confused: "Master, I don't understand."
Tang Shiyue explained to her seriously: "If you want to wear a crown, you must bear its weight. Everything has two sides. To enjoy the convenience and glory of something, you will naturally have to bear corresponding responsibilities and risks. For example, now you are
My apprentice is also the actual person in charge of Yue Fang. You are respected and convenient, but if someone wants to take revenge on Yue Fang, you will also face danger. If anything happens to Yue Fang, they will also look for you. Do you understand?"
Qiao Sangyu suddenly understood: "I understand. Our Yuefang is small, so the trouble is not big, but..." She lowered her voice: "They are big, so the trouble is big, right?"
"Yes," Tang Shiyue patted her head with satisfaction: "Ayu is so smart." (To be continued)
