Chapter 352 As long as cement is useful, production is not a problem
The Third Prince was so angry that his face turned red. He wanted to say, "You are the one who is weak, your whole family is weak."
But before he could say anything, he was covered by his mouth and dragged away by his most beloved prince, not allowing him to say even a single punctuation mark. Yin Xuan called out to his third brother with concern, but the prince waved his hand and told him not to see him off, and to come over early tomorrow to witness the miracle.
Seeing his worry, Kangxi smiled and comforted him: "Don't worry about them. The two brothers grew up together and are used to fighting with each other."
"Xiao Shiba, you should talk to Khan Ama. Why did you think of doing this..."
"Cement!" Yinxuan reminded with a smile.
Kangxi smiled and nodded: "Yes, cement. How did you think of tinkering with cement?"
At this time, of course you have to show your good uncle heart.
Yinzhen said with a smile that because his fourth brother went to the Western Regions to actively promote the great cause of reforming the natives and returning them to the Han people, he left his two children at home, so as an uncle, he must help take care of them.
For example, bring children with you to help you gain more experience.
Take good care of their food, clothing, housing and transportation, so that they can go happily and return comfortably.
but……
Yin Xuan held his forehead with his hand and said, "It's so hard to be an elder! No matter how much you think you have thought of everything, there are always omissions. But it's okay. If it weren't for my niece, I wouldn't have remembered that in addition to carriages, I could also make a fuss about the road surface, and I wouldn't have remembered the miscellaneous books I read a long time ago."
Besides sighing, I couldn't help but take credit for my eldest niece.
It would be best if the child is not raised by an ignorant child, and is not married to any Nara clan member, nor has he had anything to do with Fourth Sister-in-law's family.
[Well, I didn’t mean to doubt the fourth sister-in-law. But some unofficial history says that Moyaqi’s husband’s surname is Ulanala, and he is suspected to be the nephew of the fourth sister-in-law. Some people even wrote some fan fiction based on this. They said that the reason why Moyaqi died young and had no children was because her husband was the nephew of her mother.]
[In her early years, Concubine Li was favored, and she overshadowed the fourth sister-in-law. The death of Honghui's nephew was more or less related to her. So the fourth sister-in-law was resentful and ordered her nephew from her mother's family to torture him to death. I can't guarantee that it's true, but it's disgusting.]
Kangxi:......
Indeed, he was also disgusted.
I even wanted to check whether the fourth child's family had a child named Xingde, Xingde or Xingde.
If so, I would also like to know if there is any hidden story behind Honghui's death.
cough cough.
Fifteenth Prince was afraid that his brother would continue to make trouble for Fourth Sister-in-law, so he coughed twice. When Yinzhen looked over, he whispered: "Let's not talk about whether this cement is good or not, it's really choking."
Ah this...
Yin Xuan slapped his forehead in annoyance again: "I was so busy producing results that I forgot the most basic protection. Thanks to Brother Fifteen for reminding me."
"The book mentioned that although this thing is good, it is harmful to the environment and can easily cause pollution. People who work in this field all year round are also prone to inhaling too much dust and developing silicosis."
Kangxi frowned slightly: "Does the book mention any solution?"
Now, with mumps being enough to kill a prince, and smallpox causing half of the loss of a child, with the current medical level where only smallpox can be considered the full consequence, you still want to treat silicosis?
Yin Xuan shook his head: "No, at most you can wear a mask for some protection and reduce some of the harm."
Kangxi was silent, and then asked if everyone who had long-term contact would get sick.
How long is this long term?
There is a high probability of getting it, but it is not 100%, and this long term is measured in years. After that, Kangxi finally smiled and said, "It's okay, Xiao Shiba, don't worry. If it really doesn't work, we can use prisoners of war or criminals."
Anyway, as long as cement is really useful, production will definitely not be a problem.
Yinxuan said nothing, and went back to arrange for someone to make masks.
The next day, after the morning court was over, when the royal father and son group watched the cement solidification effect together, they all received gifts from the Eighteenth Prince.
The Fifteenth Prince, who had just decided on a marriage and was more concerned about his image, was somewhat resistant: "We don't need it now, right? It looks weird and may not be of any use."
Ha ha.
Yin Xuan sneered: "Please take off the unnecessary things. The small mask can play a big role. It can not only block most of the dust, but also block many bad things floating in the air."
"for example?"
"For example, if there had been masks during the epidemic, the disease wouldn't have spread so widely!"
The Fifteenth Prince was a little skeptical, and then he listened to his younger brother telling him that a wild boar cannot tolerate fine bran, and that he should just take back his mask and let reality teach him a lesson on how to behave as a human being.
He immediately perked up and quickly grabbed a mask and put it on: "Brother Eighteen means well, you have to wear it anyway."
Yinzhen sneered and gave him a big eye roll. All he could say was that he was too quick.
With the counterexample in front of them, the Third Prince and the others didn't dare to say anything.
Everyone put on their masks and hurried to the place where the cement was laid yesterday. The manager of the glass factory, who had personally watched the whole night and had witnessed the miracle, greeted them and hurriedly announced the good news: "Good news, good news!"
"Your Majesty, please look at this. The road was paved with cement that the Eighteenth Master personally burned yesterday. It is hard and smooth, and looks like bluestone slabs..."
The straw mat covering it had been lifted up, revealing the bluish-gray road surface underneath.
It’s a big piece, as smooth as a mirror, without any gaps.
Walking up, we found it was also flat and solid. The carriage walked around on it twice without leaving any mark.
Even chopping with a sword or a knife would only chop off some debris and leave a shallow hole.
After the cement mortar is prepared, lightly apply it on top, let it dry, cover it, and when it is completely dry, you will have a flawless cement floor again.
The princes were all amazed and kept saying that Xiao Shiba was great.
Kangxi was so moved that his eyes welled up with tears. He hugged Yinzhen tightly and said, "Great, great! Little Eighteen has presented me and the Qing Dynasty with another good thing that benefits the country and the people. How lucky I am to have a son like you."
Uh……
Is this too exaggerated?
It was so exaggerated that Yinzhen reflexively looked at the expression of his second brother, the Crown Prince, for fear of being regarded as an imaginary enemy.
The prince sighed and rubbed his head heavily: "Who says it's not true? With such a good thing, we can not only build a cement road to Mongolia, but also build it in every corner of the Qing Dynasty with the capital as the center. In the future, marching, escorting military supplies, etc., won't it be much more convenient?"
Moreover, the travel time is shortened, and the control of the central government over the local areas is strengthened. Naturally, the local areas dare not raise the flag of rebellion easily!
Yeah.
The Third Prince also nodded in agreement: "It can also be used for city defense. Apply a thick layer on the city wall so that there are no gaps at all, which greatly increases the difficulty for the enemy to attack the city."
Kangxi's eyes were slightly red. "You are all right, but in my opinion, the most important thing is the river engineering. If such a solid cement embankment is built on the Yellow River, why should I worry so much every summer when the river floods and dare not even sleep peacefully?"
"My son has made a great contribution this time. He has really presented a good treasure to Khan Ama. Khan Ama doesn't know how to thank you. So, what do you want?"
