Rebirth: Lie down with the system

As soon as the two entered the hall, they were surrounded by a group of civil servants.

Although Yan Shiqing's identity was concealed by the emperor and he had no presence among these young civil servants, some of them still knew him.

For example, Xu Zhouming, the son of the Minister of Hubu, and other older adults all know that although Mr. Yan is not an official in the court, he is still very important in front of His Majesty, and may even be more important than the four people next to him. The prince is more favored by His Majesty.

Their words and deeds are naturally seen by others, and they are not stupid to be selected to participate in trade development, so they are quite pleasant to this Young Master Yan.

The two people surrounded by them stood helplessly, listening to them talking about the analysis of their office location. The noise was so noisy that Shi Qing frowned.

Before he could speak, Murong Li's cold face exuded a chill.

These civil servants were overwhelmed by his momentum and shut their mouths one after another.

"Shilang Yuan, tell me!"

This Minister Yuan was considered to have the highest official position among the group of people. He was selected because he was relatively young among the ministers.

"Back to the Fourth Prince, today the officials and others are coming to the city to map out the distribution map. Mr. Guo asked the officials to choose. There are three places in total, each with its own pros and cons. Therefore, while we are still debating, I would like to ask the Fourth Prince to make an idea. "

He led Shi Qing out of the crowd, and after a few people sat down, they listened to the analysis of Minister Yuan.

He said a lot, and Shi Qing also understood it. In general, the location was far and near, the nearest one was next to the city lord's palace, and the far one was near the city gate.

The areas vary from large to medium.

Shi Qing was a little puzzled. Even if the site selection in the city was not a big deal, these civil servants could discuss it all morning and still couldn't make up their minds. He was really worried about whether the future affairs would proceed smoothly.

"How big is the area closest to the city gate?"

Shiqing asked.

"That place is of medium size..."

"Then this is the place!" Shi Qing confirmed.

His words made everyone look up at him, wondering if this was too hasty.

The Minister Yuan knew Yan Shiqing and respected him very much. Instead of scolding him, he asked.

"Mr. Yan, what's the significance of this?"

Shiqing didn't want them to get entangled, so he explained.

"In trade, all goods are traded. The volume may not be very large at first. We choose the one closest to the city gate to facilitate transportation. We can't just receive the goods and transport them to the city for placement, and then have to transport them out of the city through the city when we have to leave. Well, that’s not unnecessary!”

His words choked the civil servants with anger.

They have also considered this issue!

"But the supplies are too close to the city gate. What should we do if something happens in Mobei?"

Shilang Yuan did not choose that place because he was worried about supplies. Although the two countries wanted to intersect, nothing was known. Mobei might attack the city one day. The supplies were right at the gate of the city, so it was not convenient for them to rob them!

"It is in vain that you have been guarding the border for many years as Mr. Guo. If Mobei attacked, we would have received the news long ago. Temporary transfer can be done completely, and we are here to prevent the war from happening. If a war really starts, it will also show that our If you don’t do your job well, you will not be able to escape His Majesty’s punishment.”

Shi Qing's words reminded these adults that they only thought about ensuring the safety of supplies, but had forgotten the true purpose of their trip.

"Yes, Mr. Yan has considered it carefully. Then I will listen to Mr. Yan."

As Yuan Shilang spoke, he looked at Murong Li and saw that he had an expressionless face and no intention of refuting his dissatisfaction, so he spoke more firmly.

After choosing a place, these people went to the City Lord's Mansion to find Guo Xiangyang and allocated that place.

They still have to seize the time to see if there is anything else that needs to be rectified and added.

And Shi Qing and the others were not idle either. Murong Li still had to take care of his own caravan. Shi Qing needed to refine the limestone into quicklime. He had to make cement first before construction could start at the gathering place tomorrow.

Li Shiwen and Li Shiwu saw that he had a lot to do, so they followed him hoping to help. Naturally, Shi Qing would not refuse.

With about a dozen guards, they found a kiln for firing porcelain in a relatively remote place. Shi Qing planned to buy a ready-made kiln that could be put into use immediately, and cement production was considered a business secret. He also I want to use this to negotiate another business deal with the emperor. No one has too much money.

The boss was shocked when he saw so many officers and soldiers coming, but later he heard Shi Qing explain his purpose.

The people do not fight with the officials. Although the boss is dissatisfied, he does not show it on his face.

However, after Shi Qing threw him a five thousand tael silver note, he smiled from the bottom of his heart. His kiln factory was only worth three thousand taels at most. He could definitely find another place to open one. .

The boss and his men quickly packed up the complete porcelain and left. The guards walked around the kiln and then consciously performed their guarding duties.

Li Shiwen and Li Shiwu stayed with Shi Qing to help.

Shi Qing waved his hand, and a large pile of dusty stones appeared in the empty yard.

The two brothers from the Li family didn't know each other, so they naturally didn't know what Shi Qing was planning to do. They all looked at him curiously, while Shi Qing was holding a bag of cement bought from the system and studying the ingredient list on it.

To be honest, Shi Qing himself didn't know the formula of cement, he only knew the rough production process, so he bought a bag from the system to study it.

Limestone is already available, but clay and gypsum are also needed.

Clay is another important raw material for cement production. Clay has strong plasticity and is easy to form mud after adding water. In cement production, clay is used to control the silicate content of cement.

Gypsum is the third raw material in cement production. Its role in cement production is to control the setting and setting time of cement so that the cement can reach a certain strength. During the cement production process, an appropriate amount of gypsum is added to the cement to adjust the properties of the cement.

Cement production is mainly divided into the following four steps:

Raw material processing: Raw materials such as limestone, clay and gypsum are mixed in predetermined proportions and ground.

Clinker production: The processed raw materials are sintered at high temperature in a rotary kiln to produce clinker.

Cement production: Clinker is ground into cement.

Packaging and storage: The finished cement is sealed in packaging bags and stored in the warehouse.

There was no shortage of these things in the kiln factory. Shi Qing made the same preparations, and the two brothers of the Li family were also ordered around by him.

After everything was prepared, they naturally started making it. Following the steps above, the three of them ate, ground and burned.

It was okay for Shi Qing to have spiritual power, but the two Li brothers were exhausted.

"If I had known you were going to do this job, I would have asked Guo Xiangyang to come. His strength is no better than ours~"

Shi Qing looked at Li Shiwu and said.

"You know him very well? Can you impress a city lord like him in your work?"

Could the majestic lord of a city come here to do hard work?

"Familiar! We have had tea with him all morning, and we have become familiar with him naturally. He has the same temperament as Qiang Xiang, and is straightforward. He is just a few years older and more stable. If we find him, he will definitely Come!"

Shi Qing thought that apart from meeting him once when he entered the city, he had never gotten along with Guo Xiangyang...
