Chapter 393

"After mixing those ordinary materials together, you can actually burn such magical things. These things are definitely good things to build cities and walls..."

Wang Yang looked at it for a long time, and knocked out some debris with a small hammer. He pinched it and felt the hardness and texture. Well, it felt that it was indeed not much different from a stone.

"The only thing that consumes the most manpower and material resources is mining and grinding. There is no good way for us to mine, but we have a hydraulic grinder. With hydraulic grinding, a machine can grind out thousands of kilograms of materials in a day. The kiln is smaller and cannot burn so many finished products in a day."

"It's okay. Anyway, let the craftsmen try to calcinate first, and do it according to the formula I gave before, and see which formula is the fastest, which cement has the slowest hardness, and which one has the strongest hardness..."

Wang Yang praised the craftsmen and gave each of them a reward of ten cents of money. After watching them leave happily, he turned his head and said to Wan Bin.

Wan Bin was stunned. "I said, brother, aren't you going to produce it and sell it?"

"The cement that comes out now has no comparison for the time being, so I don't know if it's the quality. Wait until the masters test a few more furnaces out to see..."

"Will Mr. Wan renovate the cottage for others during this period? The cement that has been shelved after it is released is also a waste. Why don't you just use some for experiments and leave the rest to Mr. Wan?" Wan Bin really wanted to make the best use of it.

Wang Yang thought about it and nodded and agreed to Wan Bin's approach. "It's okay. If you need to just use it, just use it." Anyway, is it useful to really burn high-grade cement here?

It's not the same as selling for money, well, but then again, the samples of this primary test can be presented to the court as a gift.

Over the years, the Northern Song Dynasty has been under extremely heavy pressure on the northern border, whether it is the Liao Kingdom, whose national strength is not inferior to that of the Song Dynasty, or the Western Xia Dynasty, which has occupied the northern border of the Song Dynasty and established itself as a country.

These are all the confidants of the Song Dynasty. Although generations of emperors have always wanted to solve these border problems, it is difficult for the Northern Song Dynasty court to have an enterprising spirit after Emperor Zhenzong. What's more, the current struggle between the new and old parties in the court is simply consuming the national strength.

Moreover, there are also many internal problems such as redundant officials and soldiers, which are increasingly difficult to recover. The words of the Northern Expedition have almost become empty texts, and the collection of the Sixteen Prefectures of Youyan has changed from the past ideals to the current delusion.

Therefore, the idea of ​​living in a corner has almost become the common wish of many great officials and nobles in the Song Dynasty. In terms of Xixia and the Liao Kingdom, they mainly focus on defense.

Since you want to defend, you need to build a city and defend it. Cement, a powerful weapon for building a city, will definitely be very popular among the rulers of the Northern Song Dynasty.

It will also be popular with the generals of the Song Dynasty's border army. If the forts built with a large amount of wood and a small amount of bricks and stone can be used for cement, the stronger the fort is built, the more stable the peace on the border of the Song Dynasty.

However, even if Wang Yang blew this thing, he would not be effective even if he blew this thing away from the Song Dynasty and those important civil and military officials in the dynasty who were not in the way of dealing with Wang Dazi, he would probably not have much effect.

But that doesn't matter. Anyway, the renovation of the palace toilet has only been carried out by only one-quarter. So, Wang Yang decided to start it practically.

After all, the glutinous rice juice is not that easy to make. Before using it every time, you have to prepare several stoves, a few large pots, and a few buckets of glutinous rice that have been soaked in water.

When using it, you must wait until the glutinous rice is completely boiled into juice before pouring it into the prepared fine clay sand for stirring, and then use it on the heat.

It is labor-intensive and time-consuming. The important thing is that the stove in the palace cannot be built randomly, and you don’t think it’s camping in the wilderness.

However, if cement is used, it can be said to be time-saving and labor-saving. What is important is that it can also save glutinous rice, an important grain resource, and let it return to its own purpose.

Chen Andao happened to leave the court and returned to the government office. Only after he returned to the government office did he remember that he had not been involved in the matter of the right school office for a long time, and he didn't know what it was like there.

Since he tried the clean and tidy new public toilet in the palace, Chen Andao has hated his own suspended deep-water bomb-style cottage, so since he saw an advertisement for renovating toilets and porcelain toilets in the Tokyo Houbao.

While Chen Andao scolded the unscrupulous merchants for being omnipresent. Anyone who makes money and good deals will definitely jump out to show their presence as soon as possible. At the same time, his servants rushed to place an order on the same day, becoming the first user of the first private flush toilet except the Duan Palace and the Imperial Palace.

My own thatched house has been renovated now. It is indeed very good to use. It is clean and hygienic, and it is not smelly.

After asking his subordinates, one of the news made Chen Andao stunned. "The right school office doesn't want glutinous rice. Is it because you transferred too much glutinous rice to them before?"

"No, the first time we transferred a cart for them, which is three stone glutinous rice. But they have already asked for other materials twice since then, but they have never asked for glutinous rice again."

"The officials were also curious and asked. They only said that Lord Wang invented a new material, which can play no less than glutinous rice juice, and even stronger than the solidification effect of glutinous rice juice. What's important is that the thing is extremely cheap, so they used the remaining glutinous rice to exchange for two thousand kilograms of building materials called 'cement'."

"Cement? What a hell thing..." Chen Andao stared at the subordinate with a thunderous face. "I know what water is and what mud is, but what a hell thing is this cement?"

"I don't know much about this, but they said that the thing is called cement, oh by the way, the full name is 'Yuanyou Cement'."

"Yuanyou Cement..." Chen Andao couldn't help but think of the thing called Yuanyou Printing Technology with a dark face. What a fuck, the top scholar named Wang, can you be so irritated with Yuanyou?

Besides, what is this "Yuanyou Cement" really aroused Chen Andao's curiosity. "Come, come and invite Lord Wang to come..."

Soon, the sent officials came back to report that Wang Yang was not in the government office, but was inspecting the construction of the project at the palace.

Chen Andao wanted to send someone to the palace to ask Wang Yang, but soon he changed his mind. "Wait, forget it, let's go to the palace for a while."

"I will be the chief craftsman at least. Even if the matter is fully handed over to the Na Right School Office, I should check the progress..."

After Chen Andao explained himself in front of his subordinates, he then stepped out of the threshold with great strides. At this time, several busy officials quietly raised their eyes and looked at each other.
