After Diao Peng heard it, he stopped talking. After all, Du Qi's decision was not wrong in the current situation. What's more, Du Qi is the sponsor, and Du Qi's decision is right no matter what.
Diao Peng gritted his teeth and said, "My son said so, so I will admit it. But whether it can be implemented or not is still unknown. So I am currently holding a wait-and-see attitude, and I will be completely convinced when the real finished product is produced."
Du Qidao: "You will see."
Du Qi praised Yuan Kewang's invention very much, because it represented the emergence of cement. Although the current mud is far inferior to cement, as long as it is improved, even if it still cannot reach the level of cement in the future, it can still be used.
This is no problem.
Du Qidao: "Yuan Kewang, are you literate?"
"Literacy!"
Yuan Kewang replied.
Du Qidao: "At night, you come to my study, and I will give you some books, which will help the improvement of the mud. Now, this mud is just a rough formula and cannot achieve the real effect."
Yuan Kewang said: "Yes!"
He responded directly.
It's just that Yuan Kewang's heart is a little weird. The fact that the mud solidified was only discovered by him through research, and he discovered it by accident. No one knew about it before, and no one had any discovery.
Du Qi said that some books related to it.
How is this involved?
Yuan Kewang was puzzled and did not ask, after all, the young master is very knowledgeable. Such as Quyuanli, movable type printing, etc., are all created out of nothing, and they were invented by the young master.
It is normal for the young master to know the plan of transforming the mud because of his extensive knowledge.
Du Qi was quite happy in his heart. After leaving the craftsman's workshop, he returned to his study and began to search for the technical process of cement production in his mind. In this era, there is a lack of high-tech equipment, so it can only be made simply, and then slowly development of.
After Du Qi searched, he began to write down.
The cement production process he wrote down is extremely simple. After all, various raw materials such as limestone and clay can be directly found nowadays, and rough processing is no problem.
Du Qi is not worried about the production of cement. As long as it is done, it can be improved step by step. After all, this is a long process, and it is impossible to reach the level of future generations in one step.
Du Qi wrote the cement production process, and he forgot the time as soon as he wrote it. In the blink of an eye, a day has passed. Du Qi also wrote clearly about the cement production process and process. There are many plans and different raw materials can be used.
After dark, Liu Jian entered.
Liu Jian bowed and said, "My lord, Yuan Kewang is here."
Du Qi ordered: "Please come in."
"yes!"
Liu Jian turned around and went to deliver the order.
After a while, Yuan Kewang entered in a suit of new clothes. He arched his back slightly, and when he saw Du Qi, he had a look of expectation on his face, and he quickly saluted, "Young master!"
Du Qidao: "Sit!"
"Thank you, Young Master."
After Yuan Kewang heard the words, he lifted up his robe and sat down. Although he said he was sitting on a stool, he was sitting on half of his buttocks, which seemed rather cramped. After all, when he faced Du Qi, the gap in status made him very nervous.
Du Qi took out the cement production process book he had just written, put it on the desk, and said, "Take this book back and think about it carefully. Today's mud formula is far from the standard. Next, you follow the book The data experiment mentioned above, let me know when it is successful."
"yes!"
Yuan Kewang got up and took the books.
On the cover of the book, there are six big characters - cement manufacturing process!
Yuan Kewang was puzzled when he saw this, but he didn't look through it immediately, but returned to his seat honestly, waiting for Du Qi to continue talking.
Du Qi continued: "Master Yuan, the production of cement is not a secret, but the formula is confidential and must not be leaked, do you understand?"
"knew!"
Yuan Kewang answered with a nod.
Craftsmen like Yuan Kewang attach the most importance to these technical secrets. For a craftsman, the formula is the basis of inheritance and must not be leaked.
Du Qi waved his hand and said, "Okay, go ahead."
"yes!"
After Yuan Kewang agreed, he turned and left.
After Yuan Kewang left, Du Qi didn't care about the cement for the time being. Anyway, this thing has been handed over to Yuan Kewang, and thenWait for Yuan Kewang to research it.
However, even if there is a formula, it cannot be produced in a short while. In each process, careful exploration is required to be able to figure out the situation.
The passage of time day by day.
Entering December, the weather is getting colder every day. Although it is not to the point where the dripping water turns into ice, the wind and snow outside are getting stronger, and there are many fewer pedestrians on the street.
By the end of December, it was almost the end of the year, and the bank had quietly opened. Chang'an Datang Bank, Du Qi was extremely low-key, never publicized it with much fanfare, and only conducted it in a low-key manner.
On this day, in the evening.
While Du Qi was reading, Yuan Kewang came again. With an excited expression on his face, he said, "Master, it's done, the cement has been made."
Du Qi put down the books in his hand and said, "Since we have cement, have you made a sample yet?"
"It's done."
Yuan Kewang nodded hurriedly to answer.
The sample he made is a stone slab based on cement. After the cement slab is hardened, it is extremely hard, and ordinary swords and swords slashed on it, but they will not stop, leaving at most a few marks.
Du Qi said: "Go, go and have a look."
Yuan Kewang led the way, and after a while, he came to the workshop again and came to the hardened stone slab. Yuan Kewang knelt down and said, "My lord, this stone slab was poured with cement slurry last night. After a day of solidification, it is finally completely hardened. You can step on it and try it with a sword."
Du Qi took a knife and slashed directly at it.
When the knife went down, the blade rubbed against the stone slab. Although some stone chips flew out, only a mark was left on the slate. For this slab, nothing has been affected.
"Good, good, good!"
After seeing this, Du Qi showed a bright expression on his face.
It's done!
The cement slab was made.
With this cement, concrete can be produced by mixing sand and gravel, so there are more places available. Once large-scale production, for Datang, it will be another change.
Of course, for Du Qi, whether there is change or not, he can't control so much for the time being. To change Datang, Du Qi did not have the ability. Now Du Qi is still making money, and doing some things to help others within his ability, that's enough.
Du Qi looked at Yuan Kewang and ordered: "Master Yuan, the cement formula is very important and must not be disclosed. Moreover, this item can make a lot of money. I will arrange for people to build a factory outside Chang'an City to produce cement on a large scale. As for the cement production, you are fully responsible. As for the sales and the management of the cement plant, I will arrange for someone to take up the post and complete the site selection as soon as possible.¡±
"Thank you, Young Master!"
Yuan Kewang promised: "Don't worry, my lord, I promise to complete the task."
His heart was extremely excited.
He was a master in the workshop in the mansion, with an ordinary status, and now. Becoming the person in charge of cement production, for Yuan Kewang, he jumped out of the Du family's internal workshop in one step and became the real shopkeeper of cement production.
Although Yuan Kewang has never gone out, he also knows about various industries such as down jackets and tea.
These are extremely profitable.
Everyone is alone, and now he goes out to work for Du Qi, and it's the same.
Du Qi ordered: "Move this slate to my study, it will be useful to me. In addition, I will make some more cement and start to study mass production."
"yes!"
Yuan Kewang quickly responded.
Du Qi turned around and left, leaving behind Yuan Kewang who was admired by every craftsman. Everyone came forward to say congratulations, because the current Yuan Kewang just jumped up, and since then he has jumped out of the Du's workshop. (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
