In his previous life, Li Sheng also graduated from science and engineering. Not to mention how powerful he is in academics, he had received a systematic education in science and technology.
As a result, there were too many high-tech machines and the like, but...
I forgot the cement formula ratio...
After traveling through time, Li Sheng gradually forgot about these wooden houses since he got used to them being built with rammed earth.
I just remembered recently that this is a must-have artifact for time travellers...
What's even more frustrating is that I can't remember the proportions of the cement formula.
This is... very embarrassing.
Fortunately, Li Sheng still remembered the ingredients of cement.
I still remember clearly what is written on the seasoning packet.
Silicate!
The specific production is to burn limestone containing clay. In this way, hydraulic lime can be obtained...
The key is this water hardness.
By taking advantage of this characteristic, cement can be produced that is easy to transport and divide, and at the same time becomes extremely strong.
But what is the ratio of limestone to clay, so that the fired lime has the best hydraulic hardness? What should be the ratio of fired lime to water and clay...
Li Sheng cannot remember these specific data clearly.
But overall, there's nothing wrong with it. In short, it's within that range, and even if there are errors, they won't be much different.
I finished ten experimental samples today, so I can rest.
Li Sheng turned to look at Wei Ziyu, "Well, Teacher Wei, today's work is over, Teacher Wei can go back. It's a bit hard and busy, Teacher Wei has worked hard, please rest early!"
"Oh...thank you...thank you, Mr. Shan, for your concern."
"It's getting a little dark. I have horses here. How about I give them to you..."
When Li Sheng said this, Danqing and Mian'er's eyes changed when they looked at Li Sheng.
While going to prepare dinner, Mian'er mysteriously pulled Dan Qing.
"Sister Danqing, don't you find it annoying?"
"Infuriating? What is annoying?"
Danqing didn't understand what Mian'er meant, but when he thought of the way Li Sheng spoke to this female gentleman surnamed Wei in such a gentle tone, he always felt a bit sour.
"What, Sister Danqing, you are so beautiful and talented, why are you enjoying this...this newcomer?"
"Sister Danqing, you have to take the initiative!"
Mian'er simply hates the fact that iron cannot become steel.
Danqing's face suddenly turned red, "Mian'er, what are you talking about? Why did you take the initiative..."
"Um?"
"Besides, this is the young master's own idea, what can I do to take the initiative? Besides... besides, Mian'er, didn't you come earlier than your sister?"
When the other party said this, Mian'er's face turned red...
At this time, a figure suddenly walked over.
The current school is still a few ordinary bungalows with no courtyard walls, so you can still see strangers from time to time.
Mian'er and Danqing were startled, but then they realized they were acquaintances...
"Sister Ruochan? How did you..."
"Ruochan, why are you here?"
At this moment, Qin Ruochan was holding a food box in her little hand, which was still exuding fragrance...
Seeing the surprised bodies of the two people, Qin Ruochan suddenly stiffened.
Ah, they still caught me...
"Well, actually, I saw that you have been very busy here recently, so I brought some delicious food and came... to visit you..."
"Uh...Sister Ruochan, are you here to visit the young master?"
Mian'er suddenly asked, and Qin Ruochan's mind went blank.
Ah this.
It was actually spotted!
"no!"
Qin Ruochan hurriedly explained with a smile on her face, "What do you think, I can't come to see my good sister and sister?"
After hearing what she said, Danqing and Mian'er nodded.
But then, Dan Qing suddenly looked at Qin Ruochan, "But sister Ruochan, how did you know that we are very busy recently?"
Qin Ruochan:......
…
News of the sale of fine steel on the market quickly spread throughout Chang'an.
Suddenly, countless people heard the news and moved.
Among these people were ordinary farmers, waiting to use iron tools.
They often do not have the ability to buy at market prices. They are basically a group of people who are waiting to pick up the slack.
At the same time, they are also the most pitiful victims and the purest victims of this bloody economic war. They cannot buy new iron tools, and the output of their family fields is directly reduced by a large amount.
At the same time, since it is Chang'an, small traders from all walks of life are indispensable.
These traders often still have some money in their hands, so it is not difficult to buy ironware. However, because they do not have much capital, most of them just go through various channels to find out whether there are channels for purchasing goods at low prices... In essence, they are no different from ordinary farmers.
.It is nothing more than pursuing asset growth and maintaining family production. This difference in purpose, as for the means and resources...are essentially the same.
There are also some relatively wealthy businessmen.
This group of wealthy businessmen often come from the families of former officials and have strong assets. Compared with various small traders and ordinary farmers, they are much stronger and have the real ability to buy in bulk. However...
Like the previous two, they do not belong to the Five Surnames and Seven Hopes!
Although compared to small traders, they do seem out of reach.
But without the foundation of the alliance of Five Surnames and Seven Hopes, without the group of people who can really leverage endless resources, and without various in-law relationships that last for several generations, they are still outsiders.
They often have the psychedelic feeling of being in control of everything, but in front of the Five Surnames and Seven Views, they are actually no different from ordinary farmers and small traders.
I want to buy in large quantities but I am afraid that the price will plummet.
If you don’t buy it, you are afraid of missing out on the opportunity, and then your family’s fields will become wasteland...
But the harder it is to start, the more attention it attracts.
certainly,
Among all these people, and above all these people, there is a group that is both willing enough to eat the goods and strong enough to do so.
This group is the Five Surnames and Seven Hopes!
Li Tiancheng, Lu Changgeng, Wang Jing...et al.
They are the real players in this game.
Initially, iron prices did fall.
It is also for this reason that the news of low-price refined iron quickly spread throughout Chang'an and even several states and counties thousands of miles away from Chang'an.
Because everyone can't help but wonder, could this... be a sign that the price of iron is about to return to its original price?
!!!
In a short time, everyone became aware of it.
But soon, someone discovered that...these fine irons that suddenly appeared on the market were bought by some mysterious buyers!
And no matter the quantity, we will accept everything as ordered.
Just ask a high price and charge hard!
Soon, iron prices returned to their original levels. It seemed as if the short-term price reduction that had occurred before was just a short-lived illusion.
……As the time goes.
Time is gradually approaching the hottest time of summer.
At this point, all the steel on the market seems to have disappeared, as if this whole thing never happened.
