Almighty Lord: I can modify hidden entries

Gudern looked at Old Joseph. These words were not to ask for guilt, but to conduct an inquiry.

Seeing Old Joseph slowly nod his head, Gooden continued.

"Later, you can write down some of his information details, such as his hobbies, where he was born, or the names of friends he has revealed and the places he hangs out."

"If it is Matthews' problem, as long as we find him before the end of the tax collection and then 'invite' him to go to the arbitration court to collect evidence, then all the debts over the years can be written off."

"But if the problem does not arise from Matthews, then he can also be used as a witness to provide us with a witness in the subsequent appeal with the arbitration office."

"If it's the second possibility, then our search for him will be very easy. But if it's the first possibility, he will definitely hide, or even leave the north to Fenggu Plain or even further to Nanzhu. .”

Listening to the young master's analysis, a trace of trance flashed in Old Joseph's eyes.

If the young master could show such intelligence when he was in the royal capital, he probably wouldn't be demoted to the northern border and become a leisure lord, right?

Seeing Old Joseph's rare distraction, Gooden stretched out his hand and waved it in front of him.

"Huh? Old Joseph, are you listening to what I just said?"

"Ah, oh, listening, I was just thinking about Matthews."

Regarding Old Joseph's distraction, Gudern did not pursue it and continued.

"The idea of ​​tracking down Matthews can be learned from Kroger. As tax collectors, they should know each other."

"Even if they don't know each other, you can find a reason for Kroger to ask other colleagues about Matthews' whereabouts."

"Yeah." Old Joseph nodded.

Kroger's attitude determined that the young master would not have much communication with him in the future.

As a butler, he will have more opportunities and reasons for contact, and it will be perfect for him to ask Matthews questions at that time.

"In addition, it is not enough to rely on Matthews to deal with it. It is also time to contact Roy."

"He was able to get this news back from the Charleson family in advance, which means he must know a lot of information."

"Wait a minute, go to the guards to find a smart and familiar person, and send him to Charlieson to contact Roy to learn about this part of the news."

For this encounter, Matthews' breakthrough point alone was not enough. Gooden had to make various preparations.

And it's not just a matter of simply solving the problem. The Charlieson family has bullied others too much, and he must show some strength.

Otherwise, they would really feel that he was easy to bully...

Old Joseph wrote down the young master's words one by one. Just when he thought it was about to end, Gudern continued to give instructions.

"There is one more thing that needs to be arranged. The economic cycle plan I mentioned before must be put into operation as soon as possible. This matter is not urgent. It is just a precaution."

"If there is no progress on Matthews and Roy, I'm afraid I really have to hold my nose to pay this tax."

“There isn’t that much in the vault now, so we can still make money by selling large quantities of manganese steel, but this will cause the price to collapse.”

"In order to stabilize the manganese steel market, it is best to arrange the economic cycle plan in advance to ensure that the treasury is filled just in case."

Regarding the change of plan, Old Joseph had some doubts and said: "But if we arrange it this way, many things will be postponed."

"It's okay. Just postpone it. Just focus on ensuring infrastructure construction and economic circulation."

"Understood." Old Joseph nodded.

After the plan was completed, Old Joseph immediately went to arrange the arrangements one by one.

Gudern, who was sitting at the desk, rubbed his temples.

He originally thought that there was no need to engage in intrigues in such a remote place, but unexpectedly the reality taught him a lesson.

If he hadn't experienced a lot of digging holes and shifting blame in the office, I'm afraid he would still be busy trying to figure out how to make money to fill the holes.

…

The early appearance of the tax disrupted Gudern's existing plans.

For the next three days, Gooden was busy and dizzy.

The urgently needed limestone mine for construction has started ahead of schedule, and the important rock salt stone in the economic cycle plan has also started simultaneously.

Due to the lack of population in the town, the number of people working in the two mines combined was less than thirty.

Gudern's original plan was to wait until the end of the month and wait until Kanehara City brought a group of people before recruiting and starting mining.

But time waits for no one now, so we have to start early. Although there are few people mining and few minerals are collected, it is still better than zero growth.

Lime is now waiting for the birth of the stone crusher. As long as the stone crusher appears, the problem of cement will be solved.

At the same time, rock salt rocks can also be crushed using a stone crusher, and then distilled with water to extract edible salt.

In order to develop the gravel crusher, Gooden also spent three days in a row, taking half a day each to come to the Engineering Research Institute to jointly research and develop with Buck and others.

Under such "high" intensity of research and development, the stone crusher was finally completed on the sixth day after the project was launched.

With a special transmission structure connecting the steam engine and the gravel machine, Gooden issued the test order.

In order to ensure sufficient power supply for the steam engine during this test, he also added two entries to the experimental steam engine.

Let its original maximum pulling force jump from 30 kilograms to 150 kilograms, and the normal operating pulling force is 120 kilograms.

If converted into horsepower, it is about 1.6 horses, which barely meets the requirements for starting a gravel crusher.

Chapter 64 The birth of cement

"哐——哐——哐——"

Under the burning fire, the steam engine started to operate quickly, and the flywheel at the side and tail rotated rapidly driven by the crank.

Its rotation speed is much faster than before. With the help of a specific power transfer device, the stone crusher on the side is also slowly driven.

The overall structure of the gravel crusher is in the shape of a square, two meters high, one and a half meters long and wide, and has an inverted pyramid-shaped funnel at the top.

This is the entrance where the stone is put in for crushing, and Gudern pours a basin of excavated limestone into it.

As the limestone continues to collide with the reamer inside, the clanging sound continues to sound from inside the crusher.

In order to ensure strength, the reamers inside the stone crusher are all made of manganese steel, and the internal reamers have ten layers.

The reamer speed of each layer is inconsistent. The reamer speed of the top layer is only thirty revolutions per minute, which is one revolution every two seconds.

The second level is 45 times per minute, the third level is 60 times per minute, and the last level is 120 times per minute.

Reamers with different speeds are used to process mineral materials of different sizes. Most of the heavily crushed lime ore will turn into granular powder, and a few will be the size of rice grains.

But this is not the end of the process. There is also a built-in roller crushing component at the bottom of the crusher.

The crushed limestone slag will undergo a second round of crushing. After this step of processing, lime powder pours out from the prefabricated outlet.

A basin of limestone was processed in less than thirty seconds.

Looking at the slightly rough lime powder, Gudern was already very satisfied. To reach this point, the birth of cement was not far away.

Immediately, part of the prepared iron ore was put into the crusher. In addition to lime powder and clay, a small amount of iron powder is also required in the production of cement. This part can also be replaced directly with iron ore slag.

Every moment, iron powder made from iron ore pours out of the stone crusher.

Simply weigh the raw materials, mix them according to the proportions, and put them into the kiln of the blacksmith shop next door for calcination.

This process does not take long, and with the help of high temperatures, the three materials fuse with each other to become cement clinker.

At the end, the calcined clinker is put back into the crusher to be crushed into cement powder.

As soon as the gray cement powder flowed out of the gravel crusher, Gudern was eager to test it.

Add water and mix evenly, then touch the prepared bricks and glue them layer by layer.

Under Gudern's command, a half-meter-high brick wall appeared within a short time.

Then apply the remaining cement evenly on the wall, and the familiar cement wall is born in a different world!

Gooden raised his head and glanced at the noon sun. According to this situation, it is estimated that the cement will be dry in the evening, and the hardening test will probably have to be postponed tomorrow.

When it comes to cement testing, Gooden is not worried about unexpected situations. After all, there are no abnormalities from production to finished product.

In the worst case, the proportion of cement and ash is wrong, and you can adjust it slowly when the time comes.

In order to prevent everyone's curiosity from damaging the strength structure of the cement, Gooden directly ordered the restraint.

"From now on, no one is allowed to get close to this wall. We will test it again tomorrow morning after the cement hardens."

"As commanded."

In this context, his words can be equated with the law.

Therefore, after receiving the order, everyone took a step back to express that they would not get close.

"Buck, please take the trouble to sort out the design drawings of the gravel crusher in the past two days, and at the same time divide the personnel of the institute into two groups."

"Two groups of people are working together to build steam engines and stone crushers at the same time. Pansy and Eden will give them some instructions later so that they can be your assistants and develop in separate teams."

These days, Gudern has not forgotten to refresh the entries for the apprentices of the Engineering Academy, and so far he has found two good candidates as alternatives.

When Buck heard that an apprentice could be enlightened, a happy smile immediately appeared on his face.

He has been under too much pressure on development tasks these days.

Although many complex crafts were completed by the young master using magic, at least two-thirds of the remaining parts were forged by him bit by bit.

Now that there is a deputy to help, even if he is only half as skilled as him, the next work will be much easier.

"Pansy, Eden, go study with the young master later. When you come back, each of you will be responsible for the creation of a project."

The two people named by Buck quickly got out of the queue and followed Gudern back to the castle.

According to the old method, Gudern still uses carrot and stick tactics, pushing the loyalty of the two to about ninety and then revising the entries.

After revising the entry, the two looked at each other in shock, and then quickly expressed their loyalty.

Seeing the rapid increase in loyalty, Gooden was satisfied and allowed the two of them to return to the Engineering Academy to continue their work.

…

Early the next morning, Gudern took Old Joseph and several soldiers to test the cement brick wall.

After almost a day of drying and hardening, the cement paint on the front of the brick wall has become very hard.

Judging from the part without cement on the back, the bricks have been firmly bonded together by the hardening of cement.

"Two people will hold on to the edge, and Els will give it a kick. Don't use all your strength."
