As Xu Que took the lead in drinking porridge, the refugees also began to line up to serve porridge. What shocked them was that not only did they have porridge to drink, but each of them was even given a soft woofou!
Xu Que has no intention of changing this name. Anyway, as time goes by, these refugees will naturally change.
Just after more than 10,000 refugees had eaten their fill, Huang Qianying also arrived here with a group of servants.
Seeing the contents of twenty carriages, Xu Que immediately became excited.
"Be careful, don't fall!" Xu Que warned the servants, and then walked towards Huang Qianying.
"Is this the place you want?" Huang Qianying asked, looking at a desolate land.
"Yes." Xu Chuanmao nodded: "Soon, this place will become the second Zheyang County!"
Hearing what Xu Que said, Huang Qianying did not refute. After all, she had also seen the design drawing, but the buildings inside made her very curious. It was possible to build such a tall building without wood, stone, or literary power. …
"Do you think you have started work now?" Huang Qianying asked, looking at the land under her feet.
"I need your guidance in mining the stone. I am responsible for mining the ghost stone." Xu Que said with a smile.
"Is there anything else here?" Huang Qianying looked at Xu Que curiously.
"Yes." Xu Que replied: "There are many, probably two mountains. As for the underground, we won't know until the other mountains are dug out."
Huang Qianying's eyes widened. She didn't know what Xu Que wanted the ghost stone to do, but when she saw the thing burning under the stove, she knew it was a ghost stone...
Seeing Huang Qianying's doubtful eyes, Xu Que quickly smiled and said, "Okay, I'll tell you when I get back in the evening."
As the two waves of teams went up the mountain separately, the team of refugees at the bottom of the mountain also began to build according to the design drawings.
Xu Si and others could not understand the design drawings at first, but after Xu Que's explanation, they more or less understood...
From the bottom of the mountain, these mountains don't look big, but when they actually go up the mountain, Xu Que realizes what visual deception is...
Putting down various tools, Xu Que picked up the hammer and dug directly. What he didn't expect was that the tools made by Huang Qianying were so easy to use. As soon as he dug, he brought up a piece of soil.
With Xu Que guiding while digging, these refugees finally understood how to mine the mines.
Seeing 600 people taking action in unison, Xu Que felt relieved. As long as he guided a few more sensible people, he could leave.
As time passed, it was already evening before you knew it. After Xu Que called everyone down the mountain, he called the temporary foremen to start explaining in detail.
After these people fully understood, Xu Que asked Xu Si to write down the names of these people, and he would add one tael of silver every month in the future.
This excited the refugees, who immediately kowtowed to Xu Que, and some even wanted to set up a memorial tablet for Xu Que...
As the refugees were eating and resting, Xu Que came and sat down next to Huang Qianying.
"How are you doing there?" Xu Que asked.
"According to your request, a total of 300 foremen and 50 head workers have been promoted." Huang Qianying replied.
"Thank you for your hard work. I'll give you something to eat when you get back." Xu Que took Huang Qianying's hand and said.
Huang Qianying seemed to be used to it. Except for her face being a little red, she didn't feel any discomfort.
Just when Xu Que was ready to take another step, Xu Si hurriedly ran over: "Sir, the outer wall has been built, and it will be according to your..."
"Keep talking!" Xu Que looked at Xu Si with a livid face.
Xu Si was helpless. He just wanted to report on his work. Who would have thought that the young master could actually hold the hand of a beautiful woman here...
"According to the place you planned, everything has been cleared and the preliminary foundation has been laid. When will you start firing those stones?"
Xu Que did not answer Xu Si's words. Instead, he tilted his head and asked Huang Qianying: "Have those things been done?"
"I need to renovate the vacuum area behind the rotary kiln. I have already made the raw material area you mentioned. Uncle Liao can transport those things here tomorrow. As for the final grinding area, I think ordinary pig iron can be used. It won’t take long, so I changed it to meteorite iron, and I think Uncle Liao and the others will be able to build it tomorrow.”
Hearing Huang Qianying's words, Xu Cao nodded. In fact, making cement is not as simple as imagined.
The design drawings he drew before were based on modern technology, but after Huang Qianying read it, she also gave her own suggestions, so the cement technology they talked about now is completely artificial.
Even so, it is divided into many steps, such as crushing, pre-homogenization, raw material mill, homogenization warehouse, etc. There are more than ten processes in a series.
As for the materials used, Xu Que didn't have to worry. After all, they were all found in these mountains, and Xu Si and the others also found a large amount of broken iron ore...
Naturally, the imperial court looked down upon these ores. First, it was the problem of manpower consumption. Second, these iron ores could not be purified well. But Xu Que is different. He has a large crucible. In his eyes, no matter what kind of ore, it can be refined...
"You should follow the design drawing first. It will be done in a few days. Remember, the furnace must be safe and every place must be controlled." Xu Que warned Xu Si.
"Don't worry, young master, the iron plates sent by Uncle Liu are very hard and will definitely withstand sixty or seventy years if sandwiched in these walls." Xu Si assured, patting his chest.
Xu Que nodded with satisfaction: "Okay, when the first batch of cement comes out, I will tell you how to reinforce it."
"Okay, sir, the young one will go and get busy first."
Seeing Xu Si leave, Xu Que stopped teasing Huang Qianying, and the two simply started chatting about investigating things.
Xu Que also knows almost everything about machinery and engineering in this world, so when talking about these things, Xu Que is definitely a Ph.D. student beating up a primary school student...
As night fell, Xu Que and Huang Qianying also left Jiangtan Xishan. In order to distinguish Xishan from Jiangtan Xishan, Xu Que specifically changed its name to Juhuan Mountain. This also means that this mountain will be like a cornucopia in the future.

Beimang Bei Duhe Mansion
This is the residence of He Daoqing, the imperial censor of Beimang. The residence covers an extremely large area and the inner courtyard is extremely splendid. At the top of each corridor, there is a strange picture carved on it.
The rockery in the courtyard is carved from various strange stones, and the seats in the main hall are also made of gold and silver!
"Master Yushi, this is a little thought from our general. I hope you can accept it." A middle-aged man in brocade attire bowed respectfully and then waved to the servant behind him.
As the large and small wooden boxes were opened, the golden and white gold and silver appeared in He Daoqing's eyes.
Seeing so much gold and silver, He Daoqing's face was filled with excitement: "How much?"
"Ten thousand taels of gold and forty thousand taels of silver." The middle-aged man said respectfully.
"Yes. Not bad!" He Daoqing nodded with satisfaction: "I'm very sincere. I will find a way to solve this matter. But I have to say something ugly in front of you. Dayan will die sooner or later. I suggest that your general should join us in the north. Mang…”
"Yes, I also persuaded the general like this, but the general said that the clan has moved south, so it cannot submit to Beimang." The middle-aged man lowered his body with a look of regret.
"Huh, what's the use of moving south?" He Daoqing said disdainfully: "In just five years, the Southern Territory will also belong to me, Beimang. By then, the Xu family will not have submitted as well!"
"Yes, yes..." the middle-aged man flattered: "Your Majesty is right, so our general needs a month to escape."
"Okay, anyway, I consider it a good thing. Let your general prepare the remaining money." He Daoqing waved his hand.
"Yes, I will go back and inform the general immediately." The middle-aged man bowed respectfully and then slowly withdrew.
Not long after the middle-aged man left, an old man stepped in from the side hall.
"This Great Flame is really over!" The old man stroked his beard and said with a smile.
"Who says it's not the case? In order to buy my life, my family's wealth has been exhausted!" He Daoqing said sarcastically.
"Sir, do you think they are buying their lives?" The old man looked at He Daoqing in confusion.
