Daming: I, Yang Xian, really govern Yang!

Chapter 59 As long as it concerns the people, there is no small matter
Lu Mingyi's handling of things is still so reassuring.

Originally, Yang Xian thought it would take some time until the fire kiln was officially built, but he didn't expect it to be ready so soon.

However, the specific effect of this fire kiln cannot be known until it is used.

In order to cooperate with the subsequent establishment of the cement factory, Yang Xian directly designated a large area on a hilltop outside the west gate of Yangzhou City to build a furnace.

Lu Mingyi had people build an earthen wall around the fire kiln, enclosing the fire kiln in the middle, and sent special personnel to guard it carefully to prevent it from being destroyed by wild beasts in the mountains.

In his eyes, this will be a new "wool processing machine".

Yang Xian and Lu Mingyi rode a carriage all the way out of the city and arrived at the furnace base outside the city.

"Master Yang, we're here."

Listening to the sounds outside the carriage, Yang Xian nodded and walked out of the carriage.

He took a look at the surrounding environment. It was empty and quiet, and it was indeed a suitable location for a cement processing plant.

"Sir, what shall we do next?" Lu Mingyi asked.

Although he didn't know what to do next, he couldn't wait for Yang Xian's order.

Yang Xian smiled and replied: "Don't worry, wait until Liu Kun comes over."

When Yang Xian ordered Lu Mingyi to build the kiln, he also asked Liu Kun to help collect the materials needed for firing cement.

The raw materials had been collected a few days ago.

Just before leaving the city, Yang Xian had already sent someone to notify Liu Kun.

Sure enough, not long after, I saw Liu Kun and his people pulling several carts full of goods, all of which were materials for burning cement.

The main raw material required for firing cement is limestone, followed by auxiliary materials such as clay, gypsum, and cinder.

Limestone and gypsum soil are readily available, just buy them directly.

If the city of Yangzhou is not enough, you can go directly to the counties within the prefecture, or even go to other state capitals to buy.

For Yang Xian today, problems that can be solved with money are really not a problem.

As for clay, it can be found everywhere. You can dig as much as you want, and you don’t even have to pay for it.

The same goes for cinders and other other materials. They are not rare things. They are not difficult to obtain and only cost two yuan at most.

"Sir, bring everything you want." As soon as the carriage stopped, Liu Kun trotted forward and saluted.

Yang Xian smiled and nodded, indicating that he didn't need to be so formal.

What you need to do next is very simple.

Since Yang Xiandian directly illuminated the cement-firing technology of the Civilized Technology System, the formula for making cement and the proportions of various materials required have long been clear.

Under his command, Liu Kun and the workers on the side began to prepare the raw materials according to the proportions and finally mixed them evenly.

Do it all.

It’s the last step, firing.

After Yang Xian explained the key points that needed to be paid attention to when firing cement to the craftsmen, he asked Liu Kun to stay on site to supervise the work.

He left first.

Even in winter.

But standing next to the furnace, it was still too hot.In addition, it takes time to bake cement, so it is useless for Yang Xian to stay here.

"Sir, it turns out you asked me to build the kiln to burn lime?" On the way back, Lu Mingyi seemed a little depressed.

I originally thought that what Yang Xian had done was another earth-shattering event that benefited the country and the people. My expectations were too high. You must know that he has been in a state of excitement these days. Now that he saw that it was just a simple fired lime, he was inevitably disappointed. .

"Why, do you look down on burnt lime?" Yang Xian turned to look at Lu Mingyi. From his expression, he could almost guess what he was thinking. However, he did not explain, but raised the corners of his mouth slightly and chuckled. "Burning lime is also a thing that benefits the country and the people."

"But no matter what, it's still burnt lime." Lu Mingyi raised his head and said seriously. "I don't think burning lime is meaningless, it's just that in my opinion, it's appropriate for me to do such a thing. But for adults, there should be bigger things to do."

"Bigger things?"

Yang Xian looked at Lu Mingyi and said, "Any big thing is made up of small things. Some things that were originally small things in your eyes will gradually turn into big things."

"There is also a clear meaning. Remember, as long as it is good for the people, there is no big or small thing. No matter it is big or small, as long as it is good for the people, then you must do it unswervingly."

"Thousands of hammers and tens of thousands of hammers have carved out the deep mountains, and the fire is burning like nothing. Don't be afraid of breaking your bones and breaking your body. You must stay innocent in the world."

While talking, Yang Xian suddenly chanted the song "Lime Song".

The original author of this poem was not yet born at this time. It was Yu Qian and Yu Shaobao who were the great heroes who turned the tide during the Civil War, helped the building before it collapsed, and forced the Ming Dynasty to live for another 195 years.

Hammered with thousands of hammers, burned with fire, bones shattered into pieces.
Even so, Mr. Yang must sacrifice himself to benefit the people.

And I am still struggling with big and small things.

Lu Mingyi's eyes turned red.

This is a poem that expresses noble sentiments, noble personality, unyielding will, and magnanimous mind.

At this time, it fell into Lu Mingyi's ears, and it was slightly off-topic, but it was not completely off-topic.

Lu Mingyi muttered, the more he tasted it, the more delicious it became.

He looked up at Yang Xian, his admiration was like the surging river water.

"Your Excellency is worthy of being born in the Han Dynasty. He is a good poet, really a good poet!"

"The idea of ​​carving out a deep mountain with thousands of hammers talks about how difficult it is to mine limestone, but what Mr. Yang actually wants to tell me is that benefiting the people is also not easy."

"Fire burns, and the poem talks about smelting limestone, but it actually talks about you, my lord, no matter what severe tests you face in the process of benefiting the people, you are calm and calm, and you take it easy!"

"The third sentence is wonderfully written by your Excellency. It describes the process of burning limestone into lime powder very vividly. It is a very vivid description of the process of burning limestone into lime powder. But this is exactly what it means that your Excellency is willing to sacrifice himself for the sake of the people. The last sentence, What you want to express is that even if you die, you must leave a peaceful world and a bright world to the people."

"Master Yang!" Lu Mingyi choked.

Faced with Lu Mingyi's compliments, Yang Xian's cheeks turned slightly red and he coughed twice.

He looked at Lu Mingyi, who was intoxicated in his own world, and had a headache. This guy's inner drama was too rich.

Yang Xian discovered that not only Lu Mingyi, but also others around him, such as Liu Kun, seemed to have this disease.

After some reflection, Lu Mingyi decided to stay in the cement processing plant and accompany Liu Kun to supervise the work.

Yang Xian had no choice but to go back to eat hot pot alone.

Although the winter hot pot is good, I have become a little tired of it recently.

Yang Xian was thinking about whether he should come up with some new tricks, but he couldn't bear to suffer.
