Yuan Kewang said: "Gongzi is wise!"
After hearing this, Diao Peng didn't say anything more. After all, Du Qi's decision was not wrong. What's more, Du Qi was the investor. Du Qi's decision was right no matter what.
Diao Peng gritted her teeth and said: "Since Gongzi said so, I will accept it. But whether it can be implemented is still unknown. So, I will wait and see. When the real product is out, I will be completely convinced. "
Du Qi said: "You will see."
Du Qi was full of praise for Yuan Kewang's invention because it represented the appearance of cement. Although the current mud was far from cement, as long as it was improved, even if it still couldn't reach the level of cement of the future, it could still be used.
This was not a problem.
Du Qi said: "Yuan Kewang, can you read?"
"I can read!"
Yuan Kewang replied.
Du Qi said: "Come to my study at night. I have some books for you that will be helpful for the improvement of the mud. This mud is now only a rough formula and can't achieve the real effect. "
Yuan Kewang said: "Yes!"
He directly agreed.
But Yuan Kewang's heart was a little strange. The situation of the solidification of the mud was discovered by him by accident. No one knew about it before, and no one had discovered anything.
Du Qi said that some books were related to it.
How was this related to it?
Yuan Kewang didn't understand and didn't ask. After all, Gongzi was knowledgeable. For example, the curved plough, movable type printing, and so on were invented out of nothing by Gongzi.
Gongzi was knowledgeable, so it was normal for him to know the plan to modify the mud.
Du Qi was quite happy. After leaving the workshop, he returned to his study and began to search in his mind about the technical process of making cement. In today's era, there was a lack of high-end equipment. They could only make simple and slowly develop it.
After searching, Du Qi began to write down.
The cement production process he wrote down was extremely simple. After all, now that limestone, clay, and other raw materials could be directly found, rough processing was no problem.
Du Qi was not worried about the production of cement. As long as it was made, it could be improved step by step. After all, this was a long process. It was impossible to reach the level of the future in one step.
Du Qi wrote down the cement production process. He forgot the time. In the blink of an eye, a day had passed. As for the cement production process and process, Du Qi also wrote clearly. There were many plans and different raw materials could be used.
After dark, Liu Jian entered.
Liu bowed: "Gongzi, Yuan Kewang is here."
Du Qi ordered: "Invite him in."
"Yes!"
Liu turned around and went went to send.
After a short while, Yuan Kewang entered wearing a new set of clothes. He bowed slightly. When he saw Du Qi, his face was filled with anticipation. He quickly bowed and said, "Young Master!"
Du Qi said, "Sit!"
"Thank you."
After hearing this, he sit's's sit's. Although he was sitting on the stool, he was sitting with half of his buttocks, which made him look quite uneasy. After all, he was facing Du Qi. The difference in status made him very nervous.
Du Qi took out the cement production process book he just wrote, put it on the table, and said: "Take this book back and study it carefully. The current cement formula is far from the standard. Next, do the experiment according to the data mentioned in the book. Tell me when you succeed. "
"Yes!"
Yuan Kewang stood up and took the book.
On the cover of the book, there were four big words: Cement Production Process!
Yuan Kewang was puzzled after seeing this, but he did not read it immediately. Instead, he went back to his seat and waited for Du Qi to continue.
Du Qi continued: "Master Yuan, the production of cement is not a secret, but the formula is. It must not be leaked. Do you understand?"
"Yes!"
Yuan Kewang nodded and answered.
These technical secrets were the most important to a craftsman like Yuan Kewang. For a craftsman, the formula was the foundation of inheritance. It must not be leaked.
Du Qi waved his hand and said: "Okay, you can go."
"Yes!"
Yuan Kewang answered and turned to leave.
After Yuan Kewang left, Du Qi did not care about the cement for the time being. Anyway, this thing had been given to Yuan Kewang. The next step was to wait for Yuan Kewang to figure it out.
However, even if there was a formula, it could not be made in a short time. Every process had to be carefully explored in order to understand the situation clearly.
Time passed day by day.
In December, the weather was getting colder day by day. Although it was not to the extent that a drop of water would turn into ice, the wind and snow outside were getting heavier and heavier. There were fewer pedestrians on the street.
At the end of December, it was almost the end of the year. The bank had quietly opened for business. In the Tang dynasty bank in Chang 'an, Du Qi was very low-key. He did not publicize it with great fanfare. He just carried it out in a low profile.
On this day, in the evening.
When Du Qi was reading, Yuan Kewang came again. With an excited look on his face, he said: "Young Master, it's done. The cement has been made."
Du Qi put down the book in his hand and said: "Since there is cement, has the sample been made?"
"It's done."
Yuan Kewang hurriedly nodded and answered.
The sample he made was a slate made with cement as the basis. After the cement slate was hardened, it was extremely hard. Ordinary knives and swords could not cut it. At most, they would leave a few marks.
Du Qi said: "Let's go and have a look."
Yuan Kewang led the way in front. After a while, they came to the workshop again and came in front of the hardened slate. Yuan Kewang squatted down and said: "Young Master, this slate was poured with cement slurry last night. After a day of solidification, it is finally completely hardened. Young Master, you can step on it and try it with a knife and sword. "
Du Qi took a knife and directly chopped on it.
As the knife was chopped, the knife blade and the slate rubbed against each other. Although stone chips flew out, only a mark was left on the slate. For this slate, it was not affected at all.
"Good, good, good!"
Seeing this, Du Qi showed a bright smile on his face.
It was done!
The cement slate was made.
With this cement, concrete could be made by mixing sand and stones. Then there would be more places to use. Once it was produced on a large scale, it would be another revolution for the Tang dynasty.
Of course, for Du Qi, whether it was a revolution or not, he did not care so much for the time being. Du Qi was not capable of changing the Tang dynasty. Now Du Qi was still making money and doing something to help people as much as he could. That was enough.
Du Qi looked at Yuan Kewang and said: "Master Yuan, the cement formula is very important and must not be leaked. And this product can make a lot of money. I will arrange people to build a factory outside Chang 'an City to produce cement on a large scale. As for the cement production, you will be fully responsible for it. As for the sales and management of the cement factory, I will arrange people to take charge and finish the site selection and other things as soon as possible. "
"Thank you, Young Master!"
Yuan Kewang promised: "Please rest assured, Young Master. I promise to complete the task."
He was very excited in his heart.
He was a master in the workshop of the family with an ordinary identity. Now. Becoming the person in charge of the cement production, for Yuan Kewang, he jumped out of the workshop of the Du family and became the real manager of the cement production.
Although Yuan Kewang never went out, he also knew about the down jackets, tea leaves and other industries.
These were very profitable.
Everyone was in charge of their own business. Now he went out to work for Du Qi, it was the same.
Du Qi said: "Move this slate to my study. I have a use for it. In addition, make some more cement and start to study the mass production. "
"Yes!"
Yuan Kewang hurriedly answered.
Du Qi turned and left, leaving Yuan Kewang who was envied by all the craftsmen. One by one, they came forward to congratulate Yuan Kewang, because now Yuan Kewang jumped out of the Du family's workshop.
