Chapter 351 I usually don't laugh unless I can't help it
At this critical moment, who cares whether there is autumn hunting or not?
Kangxi just wanted to see the finished product as soon as possible.
I am eager to know whether the cement is as powerful as my little 18 said, and whether it can really turn decay into something divine.
"Yes, yes, yes, I definitely can." The prince nodded repeatedly, his eyes full of trust in his eighteenth brother: "Our little eighteen actually knows a lot about astronomy and geography. He knows a lot of things."
"It's just that the child is too lazy and rarely thinks about anything on his own initiative."
Well.
In addition to firearms, it is also related to weapon making.
As for the rest of the things, he only did them after he encountered them and used them a lot, just like catching rabbits by catching grass, and did them at the same time.
For example, down jackets, and now cement.
Kangxi:......
If he hadn't discovered the little guy's characteristics, would he have asked the Crown Princess to stop the Fourth Prince's family from preparing escort supplies for Hongshi and the others?
Because of this, he was even laughed at by Baocheng, and he felt secretly regretful.
I wonder if I'm being too greedy.
No matter how good the small auxiliary star is, you can't use it continuously whenever you have the chance!
If there is no opportunity, create one.
Now?
Kangxi looked very pleased with himself: You still have to look at me for foresight!
How could Yinxuan, who was still working hard in the glass factory, know that Kangxi was so arrogant?
He only thought about the approximate formula of cement, and estimated how many times he would need to succeed to be considered a genius but not a freak.
Seeing that he was serious, the chubby little face became tense.
The officials and craftsmen in the glass factory were all very well behaved, not even daring to breathe. They were afraid that the Eighteenth Master would fail again, and even breathing became a mistake for them.
At the same time, they were reluctant to go too far away.
They were afraid that if they were too far away, this gentleman would succeed and they would lose the opportunity to be the first batch of learners.
Without it.
Although the prince is young, he is very capable.
From the autumn of 1948 to the present day, many new products have been introduced. Those who have won his favor and learned a little bit are now the backbone of various factories.
High status and good treatment are one aspect.
The important thing is that there is a chance to escape from menial jobs and become good citizens, so that future generations can take the imperial examinations normally!
That was simply the dream of all craftsmen, and if it caught the eyes of the Eighteenth Master, the dream had a chance to become reality. This alone was enough to make the relevant people desperately try to please Yinxuan.
There is an endless stream of compliments and flattery.
Even if you fail, you can keep trying without being arrogant or impatient. You will be able to research new things as you wish.
Yin Xuan, who was originally planning to wait a few more days:...
Forget it.
As he is about to go to the frontier, he still has to be a caring uncle to his nephews and nieces.
He couldn't bear any further delay, not because he couldn't stand all the endless flattery.
So, prepare the ingredients.
Limestone, clay, iron ore powder, etc. are prepared. After grinding, they are sent to the glass furnace for calcination to obtain cement clinker, which is then crushed in the final process.
Yinxuan had a far-sighted vision and he finally fired the first batch of cement in the Qing Dynasty.
"Is this the finished product that Master Eighteen wanted?" The manager of the glass factory looked at it over and over again, but could not see any difference between this gray thing that looked like dirt.
Yin Xuan smiled and nodded: "Yes, that's it. Please ask the steward to ask someone to find some water and fine sand, and also get a trowel used by masons."
"Whoo."
The steward bowed respectfully and personally collected the things that Yinxuan wanted.
At this time, Kangxi, the Crown Prince, the Third Prince, and others who had been paying attention to this place had already arrived: "I have nothing to do. I heard that the thing you, Xiao Shiba, have been tinkering with for several days has finally produced results. I came here specially to take a look. Do you mind?"
[If you ask me this, I would mind if you would not punish me for deceiving the emperor and just turn around and walk away? It is nothing more than the four great forgiveness coming.]
After silently complaining in his heart, Yinxuan smiled and shook his head: "After the experiment, my son will also present the finished product to Khan Ama. Since you and your brothers are here, you can have a sneak peek first."
After saying that, he began to direct people to work.
First pour the sand into a big pile, then dig a hole in the pile and add cement in proportion.
Add water, stir and make cement mortar that meets the requirements.
With a little more strokes on the road surface that had been cleared long ago, the first cement road in the Qing Dynasty was born.
Of course, to prevent the road from cracking, after the cement road surface hardened a little, Yinzhen quickly had people put up straw curtains on it. Then he clapped his hands and said to Kangxi and the prince who were still waiting, "It will be completely dry tomorrow. Only tomorrow can we see if this miracle can be accomplished."
Cement is common, but it also depends on when.
During the reign of Emperor Kangxi of the Qing Dynasty, this was scorpion cake - unique.
It can also be used for paving roads and building bridges, and can be used in city defense, river embankments, and other aspects.
It was extremely important, and it was not appropriate to blame Mr. Huang. Therefore, Yin Xuan specially prepared a cover that he had read in some ancient book and a complete set of rhetoric.
As soon as he started, he was praised by everyone: "Eighteenth brother is really amazing! Not only is he lucky at such a young age, but he also cares about the country and the people. If it were me, not only would I be able to tinker with cement, but I would also remember to show the recipe to Khan Ama, and it would not be in vain for me to have the surname Aisin-Gioro."
[Ah, is this still too hasty? Could it be that Third Brother’s thoughts are what a normal child should think? Then I…]
I am worried that I might be awarded a special exorcism package by the shaman because of my outstanding performance.
Unexpectedly, his father Kangxi kicked his third brother and he screamed, "You can't speak, so why don't you shut up?"
"That's right." The prince smiled and said, "Compared to you, when you were this age, you would occasionally wet the bed. Our little Eighteen has already had all kinds of wonderful ideas and has made great contributions to the country and the people."
The Fifteenth Prince bowed and said, "It is said that a younger brother should not criticize his elder brother, but sometimes the difference between people is greater than that between people and dogs. When my younger brother was as old as my Eighteenth Prince, he was still racking his brains to pretend to be sick and skip a day of class. But my Eighteenth Prince has been able to get the teacher to ask him for advice in some aspects."
Hongxi smiled and made his final summary: "Geniuses are different from ordinary people. Uncle Eighteen is a genius among geniuses."
Third Prince: ...
Is there a possibility that he really, truly just wanted to praise Xiao Shiba from the bottom of his heart?
That little bastard is hiding something from you!
But it is obvious that the truth doesn't matter at all at this time and no one cares.
Everyone only cares whether the little hero is happy or not.
I only worry about whether he will become wary because of what the third brother said and won't dare to speak his mind so freely in the future.
Fortunately, the answer is yes.
Seeing the Third Prince being attacked by a group of people, he couldn't even stand up straight with laughter: [I usually don't laugh unless I can't help it. Also, Third Brother is my age and still wets the bed, isn't this just embarrassing? He may need a famous doctor to cure his weakness, which he doesn't know whether it is internal or external.]
