After being bound to the learning system in my mother's womb, I became the empress

Chapter 183 Cement Road, Qingyun Ladder

Cement is made of limestone, clay, and iron ore powder as the main raw materials, which are crushed, batched, and ground into raw materials.

Then it is fed into the cement kiln to calcine the clinker at high temperature, and then the clinker and gypsum are mixed and ground in proportion (source Baidu).

The other materials are nothing, just iron ore powder, which is not easy to obtain in this era.

Lin Wushang obtained a lot of iron ore through the Lin family.

But the Lin family is only a dealer of iron ore, not the owner of the iron ore, and cannot supply large amounts of iron ore to the cement factory.

Iron ore is a resource belonging to the imperial court. Only by cooperating with the emperor can they obtain a continuous supply of iron ore and continuously produce cement.

This is another major reason why Lin Xi advocates cooperation with the Queen.

But she has also learned these days that even the emperor cannot mobilize resources like iron ore at will.

Because the production of iron ore is very limited.

The limited supply of iron ore is not enough for the army, so how can it be supplied to cement plants in large quantities?
If the emperor wants to mobilize a large amount of iron ore, he must obtain the consent of the ministers in the court.

What reason will the emperor use then?
If the truth is told, those wealthy families who have not participated in the cement business will know that the iron ore and cement businesses are closely related, and they will definitely oppose it.

Maybe he would even refer to the emperor's book and accuse him of using public property for personal use.

If the truth is not told, the emperor will never even think about mobilizing the iron ore.

Lin Xi stroked Grape's soft down while thinking.

If only she could discover a new iron mine, then the cement plant would no longer have to worry about running out of iron ore.

Iron mine... Lin Xi suddenly had an idea and wrote back to Lin Wushang: "Don't worry, I have already thought of a way."

Putao leaves with her letter.

Lin Xi put away the Ruyi Jewel and lay down to sleep.

Mental energy entered the system space, purchased two courses of geography and geology, and concentrated on studying.

In the elementary geography class, the teacher waved his sleeves, and a 3D real-time map appeared in front of Lin Xi.

This map is exactly the map of the fictional world where Lin Xi lives.

The teacher clicked on the map, and Lin Xi stood above Dayong's territory.

"In the first lesson, let's start with the topography of Dayong..."

The next day.

When Lin Xi woke up, she found herself lying in the carriage.

The little princess was lying next to her, and they were covered with the same little flower quilt.

The emperor and empress sat opposite each other.

They should be on the carriage heading to the outskirts of Beijing.

When she woke up in the morning, she heard the Queen talking softly beside her bed.

"Since Xibao hasn't woken up, let her continue to sleep. Bai Zhi, you carry Xibao into the car and put her with Wanwan."

Lin Xi was so happy that she didn't have to get up early in the morning, so she pretended not to wake up and continued to sleep soundly.

The little princess next to her was sleeping so hard that she arched towards her, like a little piglet.

Lin Xi pushed her aside in disgust.

It felt like her cheeks were fleshy and didn't feel too good, so she couldn't help but pinch them again.

No wonder Lin Wushang liked to poke and pinch her face secretly, and she kind of understood.

The little princess was woken up by her pinch. Before she even opened her eyes, she climbed on top of her and called her "sister".

This little meat dumpling really didn’t care about her weight at all, she was about to be crushed to death by her!
Lin Xi lifted the meatballs off her body and sat up.

As soon as he raised his head, he met the smiling eyes of the queen. She had obviously noticed that she and the little princess were awake a long time ago, but she remained silent and watched from the side.

That look was like watching two little kittens playing, full of doting and love.

When it comes to going on patrol incognito, the emperor really dresses lightly and is simple and obedient.

They were riding in a carriage with a low-key appearance, and the driver was Jiang Hai, the general manager.

There were two guards in front of and behind the car, but nothing else.It’s almost the same as ordinary wealthy people traveling.

The emperor has been streamlined to this extent, how can the ministers who came with him have the nerve to serve like a cloud?
They all travel lightly.

He only brought his personal entourage.

Some even set off on just one horse.

After leaving the city, the convoy walked along the official road.

Although it is said to be an official road, it is actually just a relatively wide dirt road.

During the journey, smoke and dust were everywhere, and the carriage bumped from time to time, which showed how bad the road conditions were.

Lin Xi originally wanted to open the curtains and take a look at the scenery along the way, but she almost ate a mouthful of dust and had to lower the curtains.

The little princess handed her beloved toy, a rag doll, to Lin Xi, "Sister, play."

Lin Xi would not play with such childish toys.

I took a pen and paper and wrote and drew on the paper.

It looks like he is daubing randomly, but he is actually copying the map he saw in geography class last night.

In the geography class, the teacher directly took her to immerse herself in various terrains and make on-the-spot inspections.

A mountain, where it is located, its changes over thousands of years, the species and mineral veins on the mountain...etc., after one class, she understood it all.

We also know where there are various mines of gold, silver, copper, iron and tin.

Just how to take it out is a question.

"Your Majesty, the post road is ahead," said Jiang Hai, who was driving the car.

An army was stationed at the entrance of the post road. They were Longquan guards specially transferred from the palace by the emperor.

The Longquan Guards are the army that protects the imperial city and protects the safety of the entire imperial city.

General Shi, who commanded the Longquan Guard, was the emperor's confidant and deeply trusted by him.

From the day the post road was built, General Shi was ordered to lead the Longquan Guards to guard it here, firstly to ensure that the post road could be constructed smoothly, and secondly to prevent anyone from spying on the information and causing damage.

When he saw the carriage driven by Jiang Hai approaching, General Shi, who had already received the news and was waiting here in advance, immediately strode forward, his armor making a clanging sound as he moved.

"His Majesty."

The emperor lifted the curtain of the car and nodded to him.

Looking at the smooth and wide green-gray cement road in front of him, the emperor couldn't help but feel a surge of pride in his heart.

It feels like standing on the top of a mountain, overlooking thousands of miles of mountains and rivers.

This cement road is not just a road, but the Qingyun Ladder that will make him famous forever!
"An Niang, have you seen it?"

The queen was also looking out the window: "I saw this. It turned out that the road paved with cement looked like this."

The emperor picked up the little princess and said, "Come, let's go for a walk with daddy."

The queen also hugged Lin Xi and got out of the car.

Jiang Hai led the carriage and followed slowly.

Stepping on the hard road, the emperor felt quite strange. It turned out that this was a cement road.

He squatted down, placed his palms on the road, and felt it carefully.

The little princess followed suit and squatted down, placing her little hands on the road.

He smiled stupidly at the emperor.

The emperor was so heartbroken by his daughter's smile that he directly picked her up and put her on his neck, "Let's go!"

The little princess hugged her father's head and giggled.

The emperor held the little princess, running wildly on the cement road like a happy silly roe deer.

The left behind queen: "..."
