The Cannon Fodder of Fast Time Travel, She Chooses To Farm

  Chapter 67 Being an Essence Female Matchmaker Chooses Farming (16)

  After an in-depth exchange last night, Yan Kejin discovered that her princess had a lot of interesting content hidden in her head.

   Provided you don't annoy her.

   "After I've been busy for a while, I'll accompany you for a walk. Don't you want to visit the south? How about going to Yong County as the first stop?"

  Yong County is Nanning, this Xu Yin knows.

  She turned to look at him: "Aren't you busy?"

   Isn’t hematite mining in full swing? Such an important matter, don't you need him not to watch it personally?

   "So I have to wait for this busy time, the princess will wait for this king, right?" Yan Kejin put a piece of fermented fish in wine into her bowl, and met her eyes with a smile.

  Xu Yin lowered her eyes, her eyelashes trembling slightly: "Actually, I'm quite busy during this time, at least I won't be free until the spring plowing is over."

   "Then we will leave in early April."

   As a result, the project failed in early April.

  When mining iron ore, found associated limestone ore.

   That day Yan Kejin came back from the mine, and when she had a meal with her, she couldn't help sighing: "It would be great if it was all ocher, a small hill wasted for nothing."

  Unfortunately, the amount of food that night was reduced by half compared to usual.

  When Xu Yin heard the greenish white and easily broken stone, her heart moved: Could it be limestone?

  Limestone is one of the associated ores of iron ore.

  So, the next day, she followed the prince's carriage to the mine, recognized it as limestone, and was very happy.

  This is a good thing!

  Limestone can be used to make cement, and the calcined lime is slaked after slaked.

  Slaked lime can be used in a wide range of applications. The most common one is building materials. It can also be used as a fungicide. The trunks are coated with slaked lime slurry to prevent insects.

  She spent 500 points without hesitation and exchanged a cement formula with the system.

  To make cement, in addition to limestone, raw materials such as clay, quartz sand, and iron ore powder are also used.

   Clay is relatively easy to find.

  However, the quality of the clay varies. When Xu Yin mobilized his guards to dig clay at the river bank and the foot of the hillside, he accidentally discovered a mountain made of kaolin.

  Kaolin is white clay, which is the most widely used clay and the best quality after being fired into porcelain.

  The well-known JDZ porcelain is fired with kaolin.

  With limestone, kaolin, and iron ore powder, why not make cement?

  It doesn’t matter if there is a lack of quartz sand, the sea is right in front of you, the worst thing is to use the gravel after washing by the waves, which is everywhere, and the composition is the same as silica, as long as it can be used.

  The raw materials are ready-made, so let’s put the shipbuilding aside, and Xu Yin competes with cement in the tidy back garden.

  I didn’t grasp the proportions well for the first time, and the cement made was not hard enough, and it collapsed when heavy objects were pressed.

  The second hardening was too much and cracked.

   Summarize the experience of the first two times for the third time, and finally succeeded!

  Xu Yin poured a certain cobblestone path in the back garden into a concrete road.

  When the cement hardened successfully the next day, she clapped her hands happily: "My lord, please come!"

  Yan Kejin often stays at the mine recently.

  After the first batch of iron was smelted, it was forged and processed by a blacksmith who signed a dead contract.

  Some of them were made into iron sheets to make agricultural tools, and some of them were hammered and hammered into a batch of weapons. The iron was cut like mud, which can be called excellent.

  He is staying in the mansion today, Xu Yin can't wait to share the good news about cement with him.

  As soon as Yan Kejin came, she was led to the cement road by her own princess, with a look of embarrassment on her face:

   "How? I said limestone is useful, right? You still think it occupies the nest of iron ore. Use it to build roads, don't you believe that the carriage will not run over?"

  Building roads is the first step, and she also wants to use it to boost Nanban's real estate industry.

  With kaolin, building kilns and firing bricks and tiles is not a dream.

These newly-built workshops need to recruit people, and the people will earn money if they work. If they earn money, they can buy bricks and tiles. At that time, every household will live in brick and tile houses, which are much stronger than wooden structures, bamboo structures, or adobe houses. .

  There were many earthquakes in the southwest area.

  Although people in this era think that the earth dragon's turnaround is a punishment from heaven, they superstitiously believe that God is going to punish them, and there is no way to hide. But in the final analysis, it is a natural phenomenon, why not work hard if you can resist it?

  The farther Xu Yin thinks, the more ambitious she becomes.

  Yan Kejin never imagined that with a shovel, countless pieces of limestone could be chiseled and made into cement so strong and hard.

  The princess said that in addition to limestone, clay, gravel, iron ore powder, and **** can be found everywhere in the Nanban. The cost is so low that it can be ignored, and road construction is indeed feasible.

"Then start from the prefectural city, and pour cement on the roads leading to the counties. After all the counties in the Nanban have concrete roads, build a wide road that can run horse-drawn carriages on the mountain roads leading to the Central Plains. The official roads cannot be built here. , let’s fix it ourselves!”

  Yan Kejin was so happy that the dinner was placed on the cement road in the back garden, and the lanterns were lit when it was dark.

   He also asked the butler to fetch the plum blossoms from the altar of Chuxueniang he treasured, saying that he wanted to celebrate with the princess.

  Although Xu Yin was a little speechless, she still agreed with a smile.

   In the twilight, the couple sipped wine, tasted delicacies, and looked forward to the bright future where cement roads lead to every corner of Nanban.

  Xu Yin doesn't drink much, and she can get completely drunk after drinking a glass of red wine, let alone plum blossom brewed with a higher alcohol content than red wine.

  Before the table was taken down, the stamina of the wine picked up, and she asked Yan Kejin when she was going to take her around Nanman with her cheeks in her hands and her moist red lips pouting.

   "I want to explore every county in Nanban. If you don't take me there, then I will go by myself."

   "Go! When the king arranges the affairs at hand, I will go with the princess!"

   "I want to go to the beach, collect shells, eat seafood, walk barefoot on the beach..."

"…good."

  Although I don't understand what fun it is to walk on the beach barefoot.

   "I still want to go out to sea by boat and catch a lot of seafood..."

"good."

   "I also want to..."

   "These things will come true. Now, it's time to think about me."

  He picked up his wife and strode back to the room.

   Fortunately, after the house was fully renovated, a common bedroom for the husband and wife was set up, so it will come in handy.

  …

  Wait for King Jinnan to settle the affairs at hand and wanted to take the princess on a trip, but Xu Yin said to wait.

There are no official roads in the Nanman territory, and the roads in the counties are all opened by the government's corvee. The main counties do have roads, and the roads are relatively smooth when there are more people walking, but more roads are trails. The kind that a carriage can't run.

  Since there is cement now, Xu Yin is not in a hurry to go out, let's wait until the cement road from Fucheng to Yong County is open before going.

  Before the Dragon Boat Festival, she wanted to make the compass.

   Magnetite is indeed associated with the hematite, and the reserves are not large, but it is more than enough to make a compass.

   With the magnetism, Xu Yin couldn't help thinking that the whole solar motor would come out.

  The Nanban water system is well developed, and with electric motors, hydropower can be easily realized.

   Waiting for electricity to be connected, mining machines and road rollers that can make industrial production more convenient, as well as spinning machines and looms that improve people's livelihood are no longer just dreams.

  Thinking about it, she became happy, she felt a little floating!
