    Chapter 481

    ¡­¡­

    Grind limestone and clay into flour, and then calcine the clinker.  Cement is made by grinding clinker and slag left over from ironmaking.

    After Li Chengqian asked Fatty Zhu and his servants to process it according to his method, he took a part of the cement, and then poured some water into the cement. After a simple stirring, it turned into thin gray muddy water. Li Chengqian took a thin piece of iron  Take a piece and smear the muddy water onto a stone in the yard.

    The originally rough stone surface was smoothed into a gray smooth shape.

    Li Chengqian looked at it with satisfaction.

    After letting the stones dry in the sun, Li Chengqian took two more bricks, added some soil to the muddy water, stirred it and applied it between the two stones, and then put the stones together.

    Also placed in the sun, Li Chengqian clapped his hands, turned his head and said to Fatty Zhu: "You continue to burn!"

    Fatty Zhu responded quickly.

    Although Li Chengqian looked like a child playing with sand porridge when he was making cement just now, and he was a little skeptical about Li Chengqian's intention of cement invention, he did his best to complete the work assigned by Li Chengqian.

    Li Chengqian asked his servants to bring wooden boards and make a rectangular mold. Then he poured a larger proportion of sand into the unused dilute cement, then poured in water and mixed it. After looking at it, he felt that there was less cement.  , Li Chengqian poured in another part of the cement, and after stirring, Li Chengqian poured it all into the rectangular mold, and patted it with a wooden board several times to smooth it.

    "Your Highness, what are you doing?" Fatty Zhu asked curiously when he saw Li Chengqian's new masterpiece.

    Li Chengqian reminded: "From now on, you are not allowed to call your highness here, but master. Master Li!"

    If the news accidentally reaches Wangjiazhuang, Li Chengqian will never be able to go there again.

    "Uh, yes, Master Li" said Fatty Zhu.

    Li Chengqian clapped his hands and said, "This is called Brick."

    "Bricks?"

    ¡°That¡¯s right, not only can it be used as building materials, but it can also be used to call people!¡± Li Chengqian smiled.

    Calling someone?

    Fatty Zhu looked at it and saw that it was all soft mud. Can this call be successful?  I'm just afraid that the enemy will be spoiled.

    Li Chengqian didn't care what Fatty Zhu thought.  He said: "You continue to burn and burn out a bag of cement for me to use as a sample. I will come back to plan the cement factory in a few days. I will go to Wangjiazhuang first to have a look."

    "Here." After Fatty Zhu finished speaking, he saw Li Chengqian turning around and walking towards Wangjiazhuang.

    Arriving at the gate of Wangjiazhuang Courtyard, Li Chengqian saw that several carpenters and farmers had already rolled up a large wooden wheel. It seemed that the main part of the water windmill had been built.

    Gui E saw Li Chengqian after he crossed the slope.  As soon as Li Chengqian arrived, Gui E came up to him with a bowl of water in his hand.

    "Master Li, please drink a bowl of water quickly."

    Li Chengqian took it with a smile and handed the bowl to her after drinking.

    Gui'e asked: "Master Li, have you finished the work on your farm?"

    "Well, I will give some guidance to those who are doing the work. Then when they finish the work, I will go back and take a look!" Li Chengqian said.

    Hearing what Li Chengqian said, Gui E suddenly had a general understanding of Li Chengqian's position and functions. It turned out that Li Chengqian was a master who directed other people's work. It seemed that this master was really a very high official!

    No wonder Butler Zhu was so polite to him just now.

    Li Chengqian saw that the wheels of the water windmill were almost completed.  He raised his hand and said, "Have you finished making the legs?"

    The carpenter in Wangjiazhuang was named Ye San. He was surprised that Li Chengqian could come up with such a way to divert water.  Very impressed.

    The ancients said that those who achieve success come first.  Ye San now regards Li Chengqian as an elder.

    "Master Li, I have asked my apprentice to make the legs. They will be made soon!" Ye San responded.

    Li Chengqian had already gone under the wheels of the water windmill to inspect it. After looking at it for a few times, he expressed satisfaction with Ye San's results.

    Ye San was very happy to see Li Chengqian nodding.

    At this time, a younger carpenter came over with the legs of the water windmill. Li Chengqian waved and led a group of people up the river embankment.

    "Ye San, take a few people into the water and put on the legs!" Gui'e ordered in advance. She turned around and said to Li Chengqian, "Master Li, you are a master who instructs others. You can give orders from above.  alright."

    Li Chengqian didn¡¯t expect Gui¡¯e to care about him so much, so he was moved and nodded in agreement with her.

    Ye San has already led people to jump into the water, and there is a ding-ding-dong-dong sound.Without stopping, the feet were soon nailed into the river.  After Ye San got into the water, she and several farmers carried the wheels of the water windmill and put them on the legs.

    After the wheel was placed, the flow of the river pushed the wheel to rotate. Soon the bamboo tube on the wheel brought the river water to the highest point, and then fell down.

    Seeing that the water was actually brought up, Gui'e, Ye San, Housekeeper Zhou and the farmers were all stunned.

    They didn¡¯t quite believe Li Chengqian¡¯s words before, or they were more realistic. Even if they believed Li Chengqian¡¯s words, their expectations were not high.  This is a pragmatic farmer.  Even Gui E, although she believed it, was not as shocked by such a realistic thing.

    So when the water windmill really turned, Gui E and the others were stunned.

    After staying for a while, Gui E and others showed surprise on their faces.

    "Great, great, water is coming in, water is coming in!" the farmers cheered.

    Li Chengqian and Gui E looked at each other and smiled, then he stretched out his hand and waved it and said: "The water in this water windmill may be a little slow, but the advantage is that it keeps spinning, so you can build a reservoir here to let  It keeps flowing in, and then when you want to irrigate crops, the water can be obtained in the reservoir."

    "Well, let's listen to Master Li. Master Li really has a way!" Gui'e was the first to say.

    Others cheered and praised, and it took a while for Li Chengqian to escape from the peasants and follow Gui E to the village courtyard.

    After being invited to drink a bowl of water by Gui E, Li Chengqian saw a farmer coming over with a basket.

    As we got closer, the farmer reached out and took out two eggs from the basket and said, "Master Li, thank you for coming over and installing the water windmill for us. We have no use for keeping these eggs at home, so we gave them to Master Li!"

    Are eggs still useful?

    When Li Chengqian heard this lie that was full of loopholes, he wanted to laugh but couldn't.

    Such a lie is too obvious, but it can be seen that the farmer's intention in thanking the gift was afraid that Li Chengqian would refuse, so he found such an excuse.

    Next to her, Gui E pursed her lips twice, obviously worrying about the IQ of the farmers on her farm.

    "Brother, it's useless to give me eggs. I eat from the public family." Li Chengqian reasoned.

    The farmer refused: "Master Li, take it home and feed it to your mother-in-law!"
