This is not the Datang I am familiar with

"Yiyang, what's wrong?"

"Look for a place to sleep at night!"

"Ah! You're just newly married, you have to rush out of the room for your husband!"

Chen Fang shouted loudly, Dingyu looked at Chen Fang, then at Yiyang.

Yi Yang pinched Chen Fang, but this time he used his strength.

"You don't know that women always have a few days of discomfort every month."

Chen Fang patted his forehead, it turned out that a relative had come, and he was right.

After eating, Chen Fang asked Dingyu to take the dishes out, and asked questions beside Yiyang. His caring attitude made Yiyang wonder what to do.

"Actually, we can sleep together at night, as long as I behave a little better."

"You will behave. I slept for another day today. I'm not feeling well. Don't you break me up?"

Chen Fang rubbed his head, it seemed, as if he had always been unruly.

"Then you sleep in bed at night, and I'll be the head office on the floor!"

"Go to sleep with Xueli, she was supposed to serve you these few days!"

"But there are three people in that room!"

"Isn't that more to your liking!"

"I've never slept with pink and silver leaves, do you believe it?"

Yi Yang shook his head, Chen Fang was distressed, I tried to keep my body clean and serve, but you didn't believe me.

He hugged the quilt, thought about it and threw it on the bed.

There is no shortage of quilts at Xueli, so what are you doing with your own quilt?Sleeping with my daughter's warm quilt at home is not good, so she sleeps on her own.

Before Chen Fang left the house, Yi Yang called him back.

"These three days are all served by the snow fence!"

"one day!"

"Are you negotiating on this too?"

"Women don't come to relatives for only one day?"

"Who told you that!"

Chen Fang walked into the yard, feeling more and more depressed. When he reached the Xueli house, he heard his daughter's private conversation inside.

"Xue Li, did the son-in-law come from behind..."

The door opened all of a sudden, Chen Fang walked over, twisted Taohong's ears, and then sat down on the bed.

This bed is very big, too big, because three maids sleep in it, but this bed is the biggest one that will come in the palace.

"Don't even think about running away, all three of you tonight!"

On the second day, there was no one to take care of Chen Fang's washing, and there were three lying in the room, and it was estimated that he would have a day off today.Even Yinye was not forced by Chen Fang to find Meng Fei.

"Enough torment last night?"

Yiyang was washing at the side, but there were girls serving him, and all his serving girls were left on the bed by him.

"Just three days, no more than one day."

Chen Fang gestured with his hand, Yi Yang looked at him.

"Two female lunatics in pink and silver leaves, look!"

Chen Fang lifted his clothes, and there were a few finger marks on his arms, although they were thin, blood was also seen.

"You bastard!"

Yi Yang pointed at Chen Fang's forehead and cursed jokingly.

At noon, the sky was overcast, and the rain fell in the afternoon, but it continued to fall and did not stop at night.

There was joy in the room, but the rain continued to fall, occasionally stopping for a while, but it was only a few hours at most.

Waking up the next morning, the eaves were ticking, and the raindrops were connected to the line after a while.

Today the three maids came out to serve Chen Fang. Yiyang saw the three maids standing strangely.

"From now on, if I don't feel well, you guys will serve me! Remember, if you are not satisfied, if the prince is not satisfied, he will not punish you, but I will also punish you!"

"Yes!"

The three maids responded and continued to serve Chen Fang to freshen up.

After a while, the deck chairs were placed under the eaves, and Chen Fang stared at the rainwater in the courtyard in a daze.

"Yiyang, how many days do you think it will rain?"

"How would I know!"

In the past few days, the rain has not stopped. In the past few days, people in the workshop have gradually become frowning.

In this day and age, most people still depend on the sky for food.More or less rain is actually a disaster.

Floods, locusts and drought, people's livelihood is not easy, people's livelihood is very difficult.

It was still raining heavily today, but few people came to the palace. When Chen Fang saw Li Hong, he rushed into the courtyard.

After sitting down, Li Hong sighed.

"What's wrong? Prince!"

When Yiyang asked him, Li Hong sighed again.

"Sister Huang, it has been raining heavily for the past few days. In the Weishui and Jingshui basins, disasters have been reported in many places. The waterlogging disaster is severe. Originally, June is the harvest season. However, many fields under this rain were flooded, and I am afraid that there will be no harvest. gone."

"Your Highness, the entire Guanzhong generation has been affected by the disaster?"

"I'm afraid it's not just the Guanzhong generation. Now that the emergency books of Shannan Road and Henan Road have been submitted to the court, I'm afraid books from other places are on the way."

"National catastrophe?"

"I'm afraid it's true. The emperor has been to the Taiji Palace these few days, and the emperor and the empress are in the hall every morning."

Chen Fang sat slumped, with a gloomy face at this time. He had not traveled through the past, but he had also experienced several large-scale floods and snowstorms. With modern national strength and people's strength, various disaster relief facilities and equipment, a country would have to endure hardships in a catastrophe. Not to mention it's ancient.

The national power of the Tang Dynasty is now at its peak, but it is unbearable. After the catastrophe, the Lord of Plague will come, and many places will be empty.

In this era, natural disasters are the hardest thing to endure. Sometimes a disaster is enough to destroy a whole place.

The prince sat for some time, then left dejectedly.

Yiyang looked at Chen Fang, and Chen Fang shook his head.

In the face of natural disasters, he is powerless.

The rain kept falling, and the water in the waterway of the workshop pond rose, and the water in the waterway overflowed. Qin Huaidao took Feng Wei to build the waterway in the rain, so as to stop the overflowing water.

The location of Tang Workshop is already quite high, which is already the case.

Chen Fang held up an oil-paper umbrella and looked around in the workshop, but his brows gradually became darker.

In the afternoon, I went to the Tai Chi Palace and watched the Imperial Army and the eunuchs in various palaces busy blocking the water.

His Majesty has made an order that the concubines of Taiji Palace will move to Daming Palace in the past few days.The location of Taiji Palace itself is a low-lying place. Although the drainage is good, it cannot withstand the continuous rain.

The imperial palace was forced to relocate, and the disasters in various places may be more severe than description.

The palace is busy, Chen Fang met His Majesty in the Ganlu Hall, the next time we meet, I'm afraid it will be in the Daming Palace.

"The son-in-law is here, come and sit!"

Chen Fang went over and sat down.

At this time, I saw the desk, a large pile of memorials, and even moved to Ganlu Hall to check the commentaries, how many memorials are there.

Chapter 269 I Made Cement in Datang

"Chen Fang, do you have any wonderful recipes for water control?"

There Wu Meiniang suddenly looked at Chen Fang and asked.

"Not even this minister!"

Chen Fang had no choice but to go back, but Chen Fang really didn't know how to control the water. Maybe he could do something about the small ditch and the river, but now it was rainy and the river was soaring, what could he do.

"Now the heavy rain is not stopping, many roads are already muddy and difficult to walk, and many sections of roads have been washed away. Water control is already difficult, and it is even more difficult now!"

Wu Meiniang sighed, flipping through the memorials, these memorials are like snowflakes, each piece is heavy, like a thousand layers of snow, making people breathless.

"Call for help from all over the world, but even if the warehouse is opened, most of the roads are blocked."

At this time in the Tang Dynasty, most of the roads were rammed earth roads, but all dirt roads were most afraid of rainwater. As long as the water accumulated, it would become a deep road when vehicles passed by.The road was muddy and it was raining heavily. Even if we wanted to do disaster relief, we could do nothing.

For disaster relief, the road has become a big problem at this time.If this is modern, cement roads and asphalt roads, there will be no problem of blisters, but there are no such problems at this time.

Seeing that the second sage was bothered, Chen Fang said a few words and went back to Tang Gongfang. He was helpless here.

The natural disaster was terrible, and Chen Fang was powerless, after all, he also didn't have the ability to spread clouds and rain.It's not the Dragon King, nor is it a fairy, some things are doomed to be powerless.

The road is difficult, but there is no solution to this problem. Is it time for my cement to appear?

A few days ago, I thought that the workshop road was not good, and wanted to get some cement to build the road, but now it can be of great use.

Back at the residence, Chen Fang took a pen and paper, and listed the main points of cement production, which is the most common cement. As for those complicated ones, to be honest, Chen Fang would not know it, even if he could, Datang’s industrial and agricultural foundation would definitely Can't stand it.

No matter what Chen Fang did at this time, in fact, the first consideration was Datang's industrial and agricultural foundation. This was the foundation of everything.

For example, if you want to make a computer at this time, unless you have a system, unless you can shop online in Tang Dynasty or go through the door at will, there is really no way, even if you can make every component and memorize every parameter, but at this time No matter raw material and processing technology all can't reach.how can you

Cement uses limestone and clay as the main raw materials. After crushing, batching, and grinding to make raw meal, it is then fed into the cement kiln to calcinate the clinker, and then the clinker is ground with an appropriate amount of gypsum.

There are also two ways to obtain cement-like substances, one is volcanic ash and the other is calcined limestone.

However, these two methods are difficult to realize in Guanzhong. After all, there are no volcanoes here, so how can there be volcanic ash, and the same is true for mudstone.

I heard that Western Qin has natural cement with volcanic ash as the main ingredient, and the emperors of Western Qin used to use it in large quantities, but this really depends on the geographical environment.

There are not Soviet volcanoes everywhere, and Pompeii cannot be buried in volcanic ash everywhere.

The cement that Chen Fang wants to make is closer to modern cement. The raw materials are not a problem in this era, neither limestone clay nor gypsum is a problem.

The problem is manpower. Limestone needs to be dug out of the mountain, which requires a lot of manpower, and crushing also requires a lot of manpower.Calcining in cement kilns also requires a lot of manpower, and finally mixed with gypsum and ground, which requires a lot of manpower.

Low productivity can only be achieved by relying on a large number of people, which is impossible. As for increasing productivity, such as getting a steam engine, Chen Fang can only dream, and it will definitely not work at this time.

To sum up, cement can be made, but the manpower demand may be unbearable at this time.You must know that this is the agricultural era, most people are bound to the land, and the labor force can be said to be in short supply.

These combined, large-scale manufacturing is almost impossible, only small-scale manufacturing.

"Get it out first, and consider the manpower issue later."

"It just so happens that there is a kiln in the workshop, which can be trial-manufactured!"

At this time, Chen Fang did what he said, and directly called a team of Fengwei, and went to the workshop. Because it was only a trial production, there were not many stones and clay needed, and the workshop could find them all.

It took a lot of time to crush and grind the powder, and the tools are really limited.

Since the furnace in the workshop is a vertical furnace originally intended to make iron and steel, it needs to be remodeled. When the work started, the carbon fire in the furnace was raging.

Suddenly someone shouted excitedly outside, Chen Fang listened to it several times, and ran out of the workshop house, only to see the clouds outside.

The weather that has been gloomy these days turned around at this time.Although the sun has not yet shown its face, but the dark clouds are gradually dissipating, it is already a fact.

The fire inside is booming, and we waited for the time to open the furnace.

On this day, Chen Fang did not leave the workshop at all. At dusk, he took out about five hundred catties of cement clinker from the furnace and added gypsum to grind it finely.

It was getting late at this time, Chen Fang asked everyone to disperse, and was busy the next day.

The next day was a rare sunny day, the sun shone on the earth and the haze cleared away.

Seeing passers-by in the workshop, they all frowned a lot, brought Fengwei, and the workshop was busy again, and finally at noon, the first batch of cement experimental materials in Tang Workshop was made.

Chen Fang asked Tao Hong to go to Tai Chi Palace to find Er Sheng to come to the workshop, and he had already begun to check how the fired cement was.

Generally, cement is not used alone. It needs to be mixed with sand and gravel grout to make concrete, or to add steel bars to seal the roof.The latter is definitely not considered by Chen Fang, because steel bars cannot be supplied on a large scale at this time, iron ore can be smelted, and iron and steel can be smelted in this era, but the output...

At this time, the sand and stones were naturally prepared, and when the second holy chariot entered the Tang workshop, Chen Fang took Yiyang to greet him personally.
