Poor family mother and son

The direction Chu Qing pointed to was far away from people. The barren hill she bought was right there, and that place was really not good.

It borders Virat on the east, the sea on the south, and a large saline-alkali land in the middle, which is an uninhabited area in Linyang County.

Although Linyang County has a large area, why is it so small in population?It's just a comparison.

A county of the same size has at least double the population. Linyang County has fewer people because there are too many no-man's lands, and it is mountainous and saline-alkali land, so it is really impossible to live.

Xu Guangze: "Your Majesty really doesn't have to be like this...to be so generous and honest."

No matter how Xu Guangze looked at it, he couldn't see that Chu Qing really had such high morals, but she chose such a poor place, so he hesitated when he said "Don't be shy or ask, be high-spirited".

"Don't be moved, Old Xu, this Marquis is such a noble character!" Chu Qing firmly believed in Xu Guangming.

Since it is a big talk, it will not be ashamed.

Saline land is good,
There is a big salt lake over there, boiling nitrate nearby, scooping up alkali in winter, drying salt in summer, where is the money?
As for building a house for fear of returning to alkali, it is a big deal to build it on the mountain.

The key is that this side is close to the sea.

Why is it better to be near the sea?Because you can run away if you have an accident, our family has a small island overseas, the fief has ships and guns, and the artillery of the warship enters the ocean, the mother and the wife are the One Piece.

In any case, Chu Qing's sentence "This Marquis guards the country, and Lao Xu engages in economics" made Xu Guangze arouse great ambitions - if he cooperates with Chu Qing, he will be invincible and double evil!
All the money in the world, quickly put it in your pocket!

Chu Qing built a cement factory and a glass factory in the newly purchased [-]-acre barren hill.

The reason why I want to make glass is really because I feel sorry for the jade mine.

Since the jade mine cannot be kept, it is necessary to earn money back and sell glass at a higher price than jade.

Daxuan does have glass containers, but they are rare and ugly.

The white one looks like frosted glass, with impurities in it, making it opaque; the green one has more impurities in it, as if it had been filled with black sesame paste.

And no matter what color it is, it will explode when it is heated. It can be used as a decoration, but it is not broken enough to be used as a container.

But to say it looks good, it has to be colored glaze, but the output of colored glaze is very low.

Chu Qing planned to make some transparent glass, thinking about the appearance of fruit juice in a transparent glass, he was very intoxicated.

Isn't it fun to sell the cup to the emperor?Happy to think about it.

However, the general materials are known, and the specific firing needs a little research.

Whether it is cement or glass, a kiln needs to be built first.

So far, the largest order for one-time refractory bricks received by Baolu Group is from its own boss.

When the common people were worrying about this year's cultivation, Lin Yanghou recruited workers with high salaries, and a large number of common people flocked to no-man's land to make money.

The green hills are closely connected, the kilns surround the mountains, groups of people with smiling faces, and the sound of singing is carried by the wind.

Mountains, rivers and lakes, a beautiful world.

Because he was responsible for building the mansion for Chu Qing, Xu Guangze had no choice but to visit it from time to time.

Seeing groups of workers at the foot of the mountain wearing masks or face scarves, knocking stones and sifting fine powder, Xu Guangze's heart was blown away.

Because he didn't see anything new.

There are quite a few rows of kilns, and the roofs of the kilns are built with straight and narrow "herringbone" roofs that protect against wind and rain, which look very neat.

But no matter how neat it is, it’s just bricks, right?You already have a business at home, why do you want to move here?
Also, your house has bricks shipped over, why not build your own house first?
"Freight fees! People eat horses, so if you can save it, save it." Chu Qing said, "Besides, I'll pay for the kiln, but isn't the imperial court paying for the mansion? It's up to you to buy it!"

Xu Guangze: "..."

This is the distinction between public and private.

It’s nothing more than being disappointed with the brick kiln, but when he heard that Chu Qing was going to make “cement”, he went over to see it, and was even more disappointed: “You don’t just use Sanhe clay, you can even make some glutinous rice mortar!
If you don't put a little bit of glutinous rice milk or sheep peach vine juice, can the wall be strengthened?Can't even sell it? "

No wonder Xu Guangze was disappointed.

Among Daxuan's building materials, the cheap ones are called concrete, and the high-end ones are called glutinous rice mortar.

Sanhe soil is made of lime, clay and sand mixed with water; glutinous rice mortar is based on the three materials, glutinous rice pulp and sheep peach vine juice are also added.

The brick houses built by well-off families usually use amalgam as a binder, but compared with glutinous rice mortar, the particles of amalgam are still too rough, and the degree of adhesion is relatively limited.

But as long as you listen to the ingredients: glutinous rice pulp, sheep peach and vine juice, you will know that the cost of glutinous rice mortar is very high, and it is not affordable for ordinary people.

And even egg whites are added to the glutinous rice mortar.

Therefore, only large-scale buildings such as palaces, city walls, mausoleums, and pagodas use glutinous rice mortar. The state allocates funds, and ordinary people cannot afford it.

Those who are rich can afford Sanhe clay; if poor people can't even afford bricks, what kind of Sanhe clay should they use?Live in thatched cottages.Thatch, mud and a few logs are enough
There is no sheep peach and vine juice in the north, but the cost of producing glutinous rice mortar is not low: loess, sand, lime, camphor tree sap, brown sugar, glutinous rice pulp, and elm bark boiled pulp. The imperial mausoleum uses this stuff as a binder.

Otherwise, food is very important in this era, especially glutinous rice, which is not only eaten, but also used in construction and smelting.

When it comes to smelting, such as refining silver, the fragrant glutinous rice cooked in pots and pots takes a lot of firewood and time.

So, when Xu Guangze saw that Chu Qing made the simplest Sanhe soil, he felt disappointed that he couldn't sell it, that he couldn't make any money.

However, the "cement" of the Chu family is not lime, clay and sand, but lime, clay and iron ore powder, and the ratio of the materials used is different.

Also, making cement requires high-temperature calcination.

So from this point of view, judging from Daxuan's current prices, the cost of making cement is higher than that of concrete, but far lower than that of glutinous rice mortar, and it does not cost food.

"Sanhe soil who is not afraid of jealousy," Chu Qing said, "pave a way for you."

Chu Qing had already thought about it, and the first batch of cement was used to pave the only road from the county town to the suburbs——Xuanhua Road.

When researching cement, I don’t know what it can be made, so I use it to pave roads to avoid waste, but I can’t say the reason for this. What Chu Qing said is: “If you want to get rich, build bridges and pave roads.”

Chu Qing's mansion is still in the stage of cutting the top of the hill, there must be a stable place to lay the foundation.

Seeing that he was full of confidence, Xu Guangze didn't ask any questions, since he couldn't understand anyway.

What is not afraid of vinegar, who would pour vinegar on the compound soil?
The kilns at the foot of the barren hills are burning vigorously every day, but the slopes of the barren hills are being reclaimed vigorously. There are so many people.

Standing on the barren hill and looking at the top of the hill where Chu Qing plans to build a mansion, it is also very interesting to be able to shout to each other with a big iron horn.
