Traveling through exile, I took the prince and his family to the northern border to farm.

Chapter 245 Cement Production

Of course, Jiang Ling, Yue Qianli and the two children knew nothing about the Wang family's affairs.

If Jiang Ling knew that someone was trying to attack his cubs, he would kill them immediately!

What he hated most was people who couldn't defeat the adults and attacked the weak cubs.

People like that don't deserve to live.

If she has the guts to confront him face to face, he might even praise her for being brave and say it's okay for her to give him a hand.

So, fortunately, Wang Chenhui has been an official for so many years, and he reacts quickly and knows how to give up small gains for big ones.

Cruel enough...

However, because of this, Wang Yuner's life was saved.

Although getting married is hard, at least you are still alive, and you can turn things around if you try hard to think positively.

If Jiang Ling and the others knew about this, they would kill him immediately and he might not even have a chance to be reborn.

The two children were having a great time playing carefree.

These days, Shijiu Ershi took me to travel all over Nanyu City, buying bags of food and drinks and bringing them home.

What they meant was that good things must be brought back to the North to share with Godfather and Grandpa Yun.

They had no idea that they were almost stolen and sold to remote areas...

So, for many things, not knowing can actually make you happier.

A few days passed leisurely like this.

Nangong Ye came to the Prince of Yue's Mansion to find them.

Looking at the two people lying on the chairs basking in the sun, I curled my lips, thinking they really know how to enjoy themselves.

"Fourth Brother, Brother Jiang, we have prepared a place for the kiln. We have also found a stone mine and an iron mine nearby."

Hearing this, Jiang Ling's eyes lit up. The Southern Song Dynasty really needed God's blessing!

envy, jealousy, hate…

He envied the places where it wasn't cold in winter, haha.

So, he stood up excitedly and said, "What are we waiting for? Let's go!"

"Got it."

Nangong Ye did not hesitate. This was a matter of helping them in the Southern Song Dynasty to make cement and build smooth roads, which would benefit the Southern Song Dynasty and the people.

The three of them quickly walked out of the gate, jumped on the carriage and headed towards the valley at the easternmost part of Nanyu City.

Along the way, Jiang Ling explained to the two the conditions for making cement.

Because, at present, whether it is the Southern Song Dynasty or other countries, buildings are either made of wood or stone, and even bricks and tiles are very rare, and only rich families use them.

However, the walls are mostly fixed with mud, grass, soil, lime and sand. Some will use glutinous rice lime to reinforce the walls or smooth the walls. However, the stability and safety are still much worse.

Since we have money and the conditions, we might as well try making cement, which will also be for the safety of our houses in the future.

When the road is smooth and wide, the travel speed will increase and it will be safer on rainy days.

Building roads and houses can be considered as doing good deeds.

After taking a look at Yue Qianli and Nangong Ye, I guess Nangong Ye might be in charge of the construction.

So, I briefly talked about the conditions for making cement.

“Making this cement isn’t that difficult. All you have to do is find the necessary materials, grind them into powder, add the right amount of water, and you can use it.

Of course, if you want it to be more durable and stable, adding an appropriate amount of iron powder can increase the durability and hardness of the cement.

I was thinking, if the Southern Song Dynasty didn't have iron ore, then they could only use it from the northern border. Now that they have it, it would be much more convenient."

After listening to it, Nangong Ye understood a little bit and asked.

"Brother Jiang, what materials do you need?"

"Limestone and clay, these two materials, are readily available as long as you can find a mine."

Nangong Ye nodded to show that he understood, and then asked again.

"And then? Just these three ingredients?"

“Haha, of course, high-temperature calcination is required to allow these three raw materials to undergo a chemical reaction at high temperature to produce cement clinker.

It can then be packaged and shipped to various locations. When used, just add an appropriate amount of water and it can be used in road construction and house construction.

As the cement dries, it hardens, thus strengthening the stability of the ground and the house.

Take the ground for example, no matter it rains or is stepped on by people, it will not be damaged and will always be stable.

Of course, it's not always bad.

Even if it breaks, you can just repair it with cement and continue using it."

After Jiang Ling said this, both of them nodded in satisfaction, they really looked forward to it.

Their roads were full of potholes, and when it rained, especially if it rained for several days in a row, the carriages could not move.

If cement is really that easy to use, you can imagine how convenient life will be in the future.

About an hour and a half later, they finally arrived at their destination.

When the carriage slowly stopped, Jiang Ling was the first to get off. He raised his head and looked around, taking in the surrounding environment.

There were towering mountains on both sides, like two huge barriers, guarding the vast open space in the middle.

On one side of the mountain, many workers were working hard to mine the stone. The sound of hammers echoed across the valley.

At the foot of the mountain, there are several ready-made caves, which are obviously prepared for making cement. The location is just right and very convenient.

And where the iron ore is located...

It was actually hidden on the back of the opposite hill. Although it required a distance to reach it, it only took about quarter of an hour.

At this moment, a man in coarse clothes came running hurriedly from a distance.

He ran up and bowed respectfully to Nangong Ye. Then he knelt on both knees and shouted, "I pay my respects to Your Majesty! I didn't know that Your Majesty was coming. I'm sorry for not welcoming you. I hope Your Majesty will forgive me!"

Nangong Ye raised his hand slightly, motioning him to stand up, and said, "No need to be polite, just get up quickly.

The reason I came here today is to discuss cement production and the construction of a cement plant.

You should quickly arrange for several experienced veterans to come here. The Princess of Yue needs to explain the production method to them in detail and personally guide them in the experimental operation."

Upon hearing this, the person in charge quickly responded, "Yes, Your Highness! I have already made all the arrangements according to your instructions."

After saying that, he turned around and waved to a place not far behind him, and then he saw a dozen figures running towards him quickly.

After these people stood still, Jiang Ling took a closer look. He saw that they all had dark skin, strong builds, and simple smiles on their faces. The first impression they gave was that they were honest and simple.

Come to think of it, these people were carefully selected by Nangong Ye, so there will naturally be no problem.

So, Jiang Ling stood in the middle of the venue with a smile on his face and began to explain in detail to the ten people present how to make cement.

He methodically described the production process: "First, we need to prepare the necessary raw materials, such as limestone, clay and iron ore, and grind them into powder.

Then mix them together in a certain proportion..."

Jiang Ling said, while gesturing the approximate proportions with his hands, "This step is very critical. If the proportions are wrong, it may affect the quality of the final product.

Generally speaking, limestone accounts for about 40%, clay accounts for around 30%, and iron ore needs to be controlled at a little over 20%.
