Zuo Guangdou's face was full of shame and he sighed, "The ancients said, both listening will lead to enlightenment, but partial belief will lead to darkness! Xianzhi, you must remember this sentence in the future, and you have learned this lesson as a teacher! That day, His Majesty said, He developed an important weapon of the country that could travel thousands of miles in one day and carry hundreds of thousands of kilograms of cargo. He was so confused that he scorned His Majesty's words in his heart. He didn't believe it at all, and he didn't let His Majesty continue to share it. explain!

well! I am ashamed of Your Majesty! The water-pumping machine you asked about was developed by His Majesty! It’s really effortless and works day and night! I am like a frog sitting in a well, but today I know that your Majesty’s talent is truly capable of reaching heaven and earth! "

The more Shi Kefa listened, the more surprised he became. In the past, whenever his Majesty was mentioned, the teacher would always call him "Faint King", but now he respected your Majesty so much!

Judging from what the teacher said, this water-pumping machine is not the most powerful thing!

“What can travel thousands of miles in a day and carry hundreds of thousands of goods?”

Zuo Guangdou said: "This water pump uses a machine called a steam engine, which can generate huge power by burning coal! Although I don't know what the train is, I think it should be a steam engine installed on the car, and I heard that The steel plant also has one, which is used for blasting, and you should be able to see it soon."

Shi Kefa nodded as if he understood, and said: "Students must go and see it for a while. So, Your Majesty is really a genius!"

Zuo Guangdou nodded and said: "The courtiers are all talking privately, saying that Your Majesty is lost in playing with things and is not a saint. But what we saw today is that we have really misunderstood Your Majesty. Xianzhi, please read more and learn more in a while!"

Shi Kefa nodded in agreement.

After another cup of tea, we finally arrived in front of a village.

The first thing that catches the eye are the two large houses, which are the bathhouse and the canteen. In the rest of the area, many people are building houses.

"Everyone, line up and go take a shower first. After taking a shower, put on the clothes we prepared, then line up and come over to eat!" Liu Lin shouted.

Everyone was stunned.

Someone said: "Sister-in-law, can you eat first? We are so hungry."

Mrs. Liu Lin shouted: "No, when you come here, you have to follow the rules here. Taking a bath is for your own good! In the words of our young master, this is called hygiene and not getting sick! Hurry up!"

Zuo Guangdou's heart skipped a beat. He finally managed to sneak in. If he saw His Majesty after taking a bath, he would definitely break up the gang. But as the crowd moved forward, he had no choice but to enter the bathhouse.

After entering, one is on the left and the other is on the right, separated, with men on the left and women on the right.

When Zuo Guangdou and Shi Kefa entered the men's bathhouse, they were faced with a large, steaming pool. The large pool was divided into smaller pools, and it seemed that only one person could bathe in them.

There were small partitions on both sides of the pool, and a dozen old men came to greet them.

"Everyone queues up to take a shower in the small room, and then comes out to soak in the bathtub. If anyone can't wash themselves clean, they are not allowed to go out to eat!" the leader of the old man shouted.

"What a troublesome thing!" someone muttered.

The old man scolded: "You are so fucking ignorant! You are the first group to enjoy the treatment in Dahuang Village. Today, Master Huang sent Jingui's potion and you just soaked it!"

It’s all used in this bath! How much does this cost? If Master Huang hadn't been kind-hearted, who would have used it for you? Take a dip in it and all the lice on your body will be gone! not comfortable? "

Everyone was surprised, and no one said a word.

Master Zuo Guangdou and his apprentice also followed the trend and took a bath. After coming out, they both felt refreshed.

"That soap for bathing is really good. I feel like I have lost two pounds now!" Zuo Guangdou sighed.

Shi Kefa nodded and said: "Young Master Huang is really willing to give up. He only uses each bath once, and then throws away the medicinal bath water..."

Zuo Guangdou sighed: "Yes! I really admire Master Huang. He really treats the refugees as human beings!"

While the two were talking, they lined up to enter the canteen.

The lunch meal consisted of steamed buns and porridge. The steamed buns were made from fine white flour, and the porridge was extremely sweet. The vegetable was radish. Although it was simple, the master and apprentice both ate very comfortably.

"What a living Bodhisattva. This old man has never eaten such good white noodles..." A refugee in his fifties next to him shed tears while eating.

Zuo Guangdou and Zuo Guangdou felt very sad.

After eating, we queued up again.

This time it was a division of labor, and both Zuo Guangdou and Shi Kefa were stunned.

Because whether you are entering a farm or a factory, you can only enter but not exit. The farm is more free, but the factory is under closed management, and you are allowed in but not allowed out!

"Sister-in-law Liu, we, father and son, came to Beijing to visit relatives. If we arrange to go in, it will be inconvenient for us to come out in the future!" Zuo Guangdou found Liu Lin and said.

Liu Lin smiled and said: "It's okay, then you can go build the road to the mine, but the wages will be less, and some factories are not allowed to go near. You can leave after you find your relatives."

Both of them breathed a sigh of relief.

Mrs. Liu Lin asked someone to take the two of them there.

Master Zuo Guangdou and his apprentice had just joined a large group of people when Zhu Youxiao, Huang Xiao, Cui Pinhua, Wang Zheng, Song Yingxing and others came over.

Zuo Guangdou cried out in his heart, "Bitter!" He quickly lowered his head.

"Everyone, come here!" Huang Xiao clapped his hands and everyone gathered around.

Huang Xiaodao: "Today we are using a new material to build roads, which is faster and better. Liu Cheng, please bring a few people over to demonstrate."

Liu Cheng agreed, and called more than a dozen men to bring over a large cart of cinders, fine gravel, and a cart of gray-white powder. After mixing the three things together evenly, they poured them into the roadbed that had already been dug.

Then they flattened it repeatedly with wooden poles. Several people were obviously very familiar with the steps. In just a quarter of an hour, a road about ten meters long and five meters wide had been built.

"This is called cement. After it dries, the road will be very strong and there will be no mud when it rains. Everyone, please follow this method and ask if you don't understand anything."

Everyone was confused and started working together. Zuo Guangdou saw someone bringing in black cinders. With a thought, he took the opportunity to put a black face on his face and then carefully approached Zhu Youxiao and others who were talking.

Zhu Youxiao smiled and said, "Brother, is this cement really so magical?"

Huang Xiao nodded and said, "We'll find out when we come over in a while!"

Song Yingxing sighed: "Song really admired Mr. Huang's knowledge. Mr. Wang and I had been burning the glass kiln in the steel factory for two days without even noticing it. Mr. Huang discovered the cement as soon as he came. If it is really as strong as stone, Governor Sun will have another powerful weapon to control Liaodong!"

Huang Xiao said with a smile: "I didn't expect that the cement is fired at a high temperature. It just so happened that the blower was moved to the glass kiln today, so I tried it. I don't deserve everyone's praise! But it should be no problem."

This is really not Huang Xiao's deliberate modesty. He originally had no intention of making cement, because the best way to bake cement is volcanic ash. If clay and limestone are used for calcination, the required temperature is about 1500 degrees!

Without blowers and new blast furnaces, it would have been difficult to achieve this temperature in ancient times. When Huang Xiao saw that conditions allowed, he immediately fired a kiln on site.

Also, when Spinach was editing books, many things that were possible in ancient times were written down in the form of small pieces of knowledge, and Huang Xiao was the first to start.

Cui Pinhua stood aside and kept looking back. Song Yingxing had worked overtime to build the two sides of glass and was packing and shipping it.

Just when he was about to look away, several large cars came over.
