Volume 3: Standing on Baiyun Chapter 58: Bricks and Cement

Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Yu Zimo has been very busy these two days. It took everyone so much effort to build a very simple kiln that he originally imagined. Several master chefs specially invited from the capital also complained. The reason was for no other reason than Yu Zimo.  Mo is different from other kilns. In the past, they built kilns that looked like ceramics. A kiln could only build two or three at most, but Yu Zimo had to build hundreds of them, which almost made a few old men angry.  I don't know if this is torturing people.  Fortunately, the kiln Zimo asked to build was not big, only two-thirds of the normal size, which allowed the old men to restrain themselves from yelling.  This is what Yu Zimo has considered. Things calcined in small kilns are generally more practical. Large kilns accumulate a lot of things and many bricks will be burned out, which will increase the cost accordingly.  These days, he relied on some textbook knowledge to make many brick-making molds. The length, width and height are basically the same as modern bricks.  Of course, these strange things also attracted the attention of many people, but they were just workers invited, so there was no need to ask more questions, as long as they did what they wanted.  After the first kiln was built, Yu Zimo was also very excited. Now the mining on the mountain has begun. Different ores are continuously transported from the mountain every day and piled on the flat land at the foot of the mountain. The whole town is full of ore every day.  The sound of ping-ping-pong-pong digging can be heard in the evening.  For these raw materials, Yu Zimo arranged for people to crush them with specially cast iron tools, mix them in a certain proportion, add water, and then put the mixed materials into molds and then calcine them.  Fortunately, Zimo still remembered a few things necessary for calcining bricks. Things like clay, shale, and coal ash can be used to calcine bricks. Only now did he realize the importance of knowledge. No wonder that when he was in college, he always  The old professor Bang shouted loudly on the stage, if you little bastards don't learn well, how will you contribute to the construction of the four modernizations of the motherland in the future? It makes sense now that I think about it, but I am contributing to the modernization of the Que Dynasty.  .  The firing of bricks is relatively simple. After a few days of testing, the bricks were fired in the first furnace. The effect was okay. There was no problem with the hardness or appearance. It was the first time I fired the bricks. Maybe from experience.  The shortcomings are that there are more burnt out ones. These are small things and can be corrected gradually in the future.  ¡°Compared to bricks, the firing of cement has brought considerable difficulties to Yu Zimo.  This thing requires more materials than the former, and even the process is a bit more complicated. First, limestone, clay, coal ash, sandstone and other things must be ground into powder, mixed and calcined, and then the calcined product is cooled and then ground into powder.  Become cement.  After several tests, it doesn't mean that it failed. The thing came out, but after mixing it with sand, gravel and water, after drying, the hardness was not as high as Yu Zimo imagined. This can only mean that the ratio of several ores is not the same.  Correct. Fortunately, these can be adjusted. Yu Zimo will never let substandard things appear in the market.  It was already half a month before the complete cement was calcined. Yu Zimo was excited all afternoon when he learned the news early that morning. Now that everything to build the house has been completed, it can be said that there is no problem in housing people.  , then there is the issue of aesthetics. Yu Zimo has already considered these. He plans to use marble on the exterior of the wall. He only found out after asking about it. It turns out that in this era, there is no such thing as marble.  If he wants to use it, it will only cost him the cost of mining and freight, which is quite cheap.  But what Yu Zimo thought was not that simple. The merchants and officials of the Que Dynasty still don't know the function of these things. When his stone house is completed, the prices of all minerals will definitely soar, and the competition will inevitably be fierce.  Will appear.  So now that he had almost no money, he had sent two stewards to buy all the mines around the capital that he would use. Some local officials were laughing from ear to ear. How could they know they were laughing?  The most open person is Yu Zimo himself.  After Mr. Huang introduced him, he knew that the surrounding areas of the capital were rich in minerals. He spent two million taels of silver to buy nearly a thousand hills, all of which were rich in minerals. If this were put into modern times, I would only need  Sitting all day long, you don't have to worry about food and clothing.  The calcining of cement and bricks here has slowly begun to enter a stable stage. From a distance, there are already piles of bricks in the open space. As for the cement, Yu Zimo specially built some awnings and placed them all inside.  At this stage, it can be said that there is not much use for him to stay here. Calculated, it has been a month and it is time to return to the capital. Presumably the eyes of some big shots there are all attracted by the demolition of idle houses of the Ministry of Industry.  Before leaving, Yu Zimo deliberately left two stewards behind and established Qingyi Building Materials Co., Ltd., with Lin Hai as the general manager. In addition, from the remaining three stewards, he selected a man named Qian Sheng, who used to be an accountant, as the finance manager.  Director, I would like to take care of some chores, Lin.The general is responsible for the overall operation. This person has been running between the capital and Nanyuan Town some time ago, and he has some abilities. This is why Yu Zimo can rest assured to let him manage.  As for the appointment and training of the following personnel, he delegated power to them and let them make their own decisions. If he could select a few good talents from Nanyuan Town, he might as well let them go to the Beijing Training Company for systematic training, which would reduce the pressure on the two of them in the future.  Lin Hai and Qian Sheng were excited about this, with high morale in their hearts, and vowed that they would not let down Zimo's trust.  Originally, they were not happy when they were sent here by the Yang family. Who would want to be sent from a big family to a small hotel? Even if this hotel has unlimited potential, no one would be happy. It is like you suddenly went from Microsoft to a small hotel.  Being assigned to a small private enterprise would be crazy.  But after this period of contact, they were completely impressed by Zimo's whimsical ideas. By following such a person, they firmly believed that the career they were working hard for now would set off an unstoppable financial storm across the entire continent in the future.  From being helpless at first, to being very motivated now, even more motivated than in the Yang family. What could be more exciting than watching a small company grow into a large company.  As for the other two stewards who were not reused, although they looked a little reluctant, they were even more convinced in their hearts. After all, Yu Zimo was not a person who favored one and the other. After keeping them with him for such a long time, even Yu Zimo would not be reused.  He wouldn't believe it, but it's enough to send two people here now. Any more would be a waste of these talents. He finally asked the cheap father-in-law for it. As the saying goes, good steel should be used on the edge of the knife, so as to save the child.  Mo is so scheming, how can he not understand such a superficial truth.
