My little cutie [farming]

It was said that they were going out on a date, and the two of them finally measured a small half of Wangjiang Mansion with their feet.I originally planned to eat on the official road, but I gave up because of the muddy road on the official road.

There are many rainy days in the south, and dirt roads can easily become 'cement roads' after encountering rain.Speaking of this cement road, Bai Su also had a flash of inspiration.

He wouldn't even think about the asphalt roads in the future world.But this cement road, he can still think about it.

Concrete roads in the general sense refer to powdery hydraulic inorganic cementitious materials, which can be stirred into a slurry after adding water, and then cemented together with sandstone and other materials to form a road.

Cement can be divided into Portland cement, aluminate cement, sulphoaluminate cement, iron-aluminate cement, fluoroaluminate cement and phosphate cement in terms of scientific names.

Just by listening to the name, do you feel that it is very tall, very powerful, very extraordinary, very compound product, very ancient and could not be produced at all.

But the actual situation is not the case.

Historically, cement was probably invented by the British around 1756.Comparing the Chinese dynasties horizontally, it is almost the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty.For the current Dayu Dynasty people, that is the future.

But for Bai Su, that is all in the past.What did it explain in the past? It means that he still has a part of the memory of the key materials used in this kind of infrastructure in his mind.

Of course, Bai Su does not know that kind of complicated and specialized cement production.What Bai Su knows is the kind of simplification, as long as a person takes a look at it, he can almost feel that he can do it in theory.

The so-called ancient method refers to the method that the ancients could use long ago.The specific theory is as follows, the limestone clay is ground into powder, and then the clinker is calcined, and then the clinker is ground together with the slag left after ironmaking, which is cement.

Simple is not easy, easy is not easy, right?

Bai Su's biggest advantage right now is that he is located in the south along the river...a little bit of the sea, and within the jurisdiction of Wangjiang Mansion, there are several iron mines.

Although the imperial court sent troops to manage it.

Isn't this nonsense? In ancient times, ironware was a completely controlled military supply.Even if it is a plow or a hoe used by farmers for farming, they need to go to the blacksmith shop registered by the imperial court to register and buy.

But does Bai Su need iron?No, he doesn't need to.What he needs is the waste residue after iron smelting, that is, the waste products that the iron ore will throw away.

Then Bai Su can get it?As a favorite of the emperor who has the authority to dispatch [-] soldiers and has two guards appointed by the emperor, how could he not get it?

Then the most critical point - lime.

To tell you the truth, lime also has another status—Chinese medicine.If it wasn't for this, what would Bai Su do to learn how cement is made.

Isn't this a bit of knowledge extended when learning Chinese medicine materials?

Lime has the effects of detoxification and corrosion, astringing sores to stop bleeding, killing insects and relieving itching.For erysipelas, it also has a good curative effect on traumatic bleeding, water and fire burns, lower extremity ulcers, chronic dysentery and prolapse of the anus, eczema and prickly heat, etc.

Then, lime is quicklime obtained by heating and calcining limestone.

Then again, there are many limestone caves or other places along the coast and rivers.

The right time, place and people, what else can stop Bai Su from making money?

Answer, probably his laziness.

After all, to be honest, Bai Su really doesn't want to make cement at this stage.Road construction must be on the agenda, after all, you can't always do business in the future by taking advantage of people in your own jurisdiction.

If you want to make a lot of money and make more money, you must expand your business.As for the concrete road with the combination of soil and water, I am afraid his business will also be greatly affected.

But that's all for the future.At this stage, it is better to plant the peach trees first, so that the people in Wangjiang Mansion can make a little money first, and then they can make big money for themselves.

When it was said that he wanted to plant peach trees, Bai Su didn't delay for a moment.After returning home, he found Feng Gou directly and told him that he still needed tens of thousands of peach trees that were at least three years old.

Feng Gou's own price for each tree is [-] Wen. As for how much Feng Gou can buy back, that is Feng Gou's ability.The only requirement is not to force buying and selling to cause public grievances.

In fact, Bai Su doesn't say this, Feng Gou himself has the bottom line.Bai Su is very talkative about many things, even when there are no outsiders, he doesn't mind whether you are old or young.

But when it comes to his bottom line and moral matters, Bai Su's requirements are still very strict.After all, the man in his family will take part in the imperial examination to be an official in the future.

Follow Baisu to have meat to eat, follow Baisu to make money.Even if Feng Gou was born as a bastard, he doesn't have much long-term vision, but he still has a basic brain.If it wasn't for his sharp eyesight, Bai Su wouldn't have taken him under his command.

Planting peach trees in the entire Wangjiang Mansion requires more than 860 taels of silver, which is almost the sum of the annual salaries of more than 100 people in the entire county government except Bai Su, the county magistrate.

Therefore, it is naturally impossible for Bai Su to pay for this money by himself.A family subscribes to two peach trees, and Bai Su's guarantee is that he will buy everything from the fruit to the next year's peach blossoms, peach leaves, and peach gum.

The magistrate of the county has said so, so what if the people below are unwilling.At least Bai Su has left a way for you to survive, and will buy your products in the future.Moreover, the subscription this time only needs [-] Wen per household, which is not a serious matter.

Compared with his predecessor who collected money in the tens of taels or even dozens of taels, Bai Su's is really very good.

Because of the love of the county magistrate, the Wangjiang mansion is considered to have subscribed to the peach tree.Then, in all the villages under the jurisdiction of Wangjiang Mansion, smart people with discerning eyes also began to plant one or two trees in their own homes. Among them, Yongning Village was the most, even catching up with the trend of Wangjiang Mansion. Just plant a peach tree.

After all, Bai Su's 'ancestral house' is still in Yongning Village, and no one can guarantee that Bai Su, who has become the county magistrate, will go back when he thinks about it.

After learning about Yongning Village's cooperation, Bai Su was very happy.With a big wave of his hand, he promised to buy them all as long as the quality passed the test, the fruit and next year's peach blossom, peach leaf and peach gum.

All of a sudden, there was a trend of planting peach trees in the entire area under the jurisdiction of Wangjiang Mansion.

Bai Su's side is doing a good job of generating income, and Shi Changpu really went to the academy to study.In order to improve the teaching quality of Geer Academy, Bai Su specially asked Zheng Lan to do a survey, and then hired ten of the best teachers in Wangjiang Mansion to be the teachers of Geer Academy.

When Bai Su and Shi Changpu came to study in the past, those people still had reasons not to accept them.But now, Bai Su is the county magistrate, just look at those people with a smile, and they will rule out all the reasons by themselves.

Otherwise, why do so many people like to be an official? Being an official is comfortable.

In June, the peaches in the county government had grown to the size of a child's fist.Seeing that this trend continues, the peaches will be ripe around July.You must know that peaches usually don't mature until the first month, but it also depends on who planted the peach tree.

Bai Su has restrained his abilities very much, otherwise he would have made all these peaches ripen that day.

Xuanyuanji sent people over again, and took away all the golden sore medicines and medicinal materials left by the Bai family at one time.This time, Bai Su made a full 2000 taels of silver.

I have to say that doing business with rich people is comfortable.Then Xuanyuanji, who had already returned to the capital, even sent a letter to Bai Su, the 'favored minister'.

There was an envelope inside the envelope, which said - hand over Shichangpu.

Also no one.

In order for Bai Su to confirm his status as a 'favored minister', the little emperor also worked very hard.

Xuanyuanji's action of pulling away all the medicinal materials also hinted that he did not want Bai Su to continue making golden sore medicine.Bai Su didn't talk nonsense here, he immediately changed the prescription and asked Feng Gou to buy some other medicinal materials.

Chinese tallow tree.

Baisu was the main material for making candles before, not only for making candles, but also for making soap and squeezing oil.As a person who is considered to be rich, powerful and powerful in this area of ​​Wangjiang Mansion at this stage, Bai Su's horsepower to make money has also been maximized.

I investigated the promising house with Shi Changpu before, and finally bought it.It's in the area of ​​the official road outside Wangjiang Mansion.The slightly desolate but large-area house was directly transformed into a processing workshop by Bai Su.

Half oil pressing workshop, half candle and soap making workshop.Oil extraction does not need to be kept secret, so it occupies only a quarter of the area.The remaining three-quarters are divided into three parts, and the process of making candles and soap is divided into three parts, and the workers are not allowed to talk in private.

Bai Su didn't think about keeping these formulas secret forever, as long as he earned the first sum of money and got the bonus that an 'inventor' should have, then he wouldn't mind if others imitated him.After all, feeling his conscience that is about to disappear, he is not the real inventor, and he has no right to monopolize it all the time, right?

What's more, the most important thing is that there are too many ways to make money in Bai Su's mind. After the one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight are learned, he can still find another ninety-one, ten, twenty-three Ten 23 species.

Therefore, Bai Su chose to hire someone for what should be the best thing to do.

The development of the matter was better than what Bai Su had imagined. He thought he would be satisfied if he could keep it secret for half a month to a month, but he didn't expect those workers to act as if they wanted to keep it secret forever.

In a daze, Bai Su remembered that he is now the biggest official in Wangjiang Mansion—the magistrate.No matter how jealous those businessmen are, at least in the area of ​​Wangjiang Mansion, they still dare not go against Bai Su, the biggest official, and the favorite minister of a sage in public.

Hey, the feeling of leaning against a big tree is really cool.
