Your Majesty, the Spectacle Has Missed the Country!

Chapter 42 Cement

"Master, after thinking about it... I think it would be more appropriate to set aside a field specifically for you..." Old Ford finally gave in.

It’s impossible not to agree. The cost of repurchasing flowers and plants from other parts of the empire is far more than the gold coins spent on food.

"Ah? Don't you need it? Do you really don't need me to transform it into a vegetable garden?" Bruno said with some regret.

"It's really not necessary! I believe...your crop seeds will definitely...yield thousands of kilograms per acre..." Old Ford said with tears.

At this point, he could only hope that these three new crops would be as magical as Bruno said.

"Okay..." Seeing Old Ford's active cooperation, Bruno had no choice but to obey his orders happily.

Seeing that Bruno finally relaxed, Old Ford took a deep breath and walked away slowly.

As he walked, he felt that Bruno behind him was still complaining: "But... if it is not changed to an aerial vegetable garden, how can it reflect my great character of loving the people like a son..."

Old Ford stumbled and almost tripped.

Sigh...my head hurts.

…

With the completion of the sky garden and the arrival of the novice gift package, the production of cement has also been put on Bruno's agenda.

After the construction of the Hanging Garden was completed, the production team originally composed of serfs suddenly lost their jobs.

The civilians and a small group of serfs who were later transferred from Idar City were okay. After all, spring plowing was coming, and they originally only took advantage of their free time in winter to build wonders for their lords. They already had Renting cultivated land is just a way to make a living.

However, the first group of serfs recruited suddenly had nothing to do.

They were originally transferred here because the manpower required by the Cape Saltworks was reduced. But now that the sky garden has been built and no new projects have been started in the Idar Territory in a short period of time, these serfs are naturally idle.

The hundreds of serfs spent every day eating, drinking and eating, so Bruno naturally had to find some work for them as soon as possible.

In times of peace, even if a large project does not have the various bonuses and rewards provided by the system, it is actually beneficial.

Because large-scale projects will inevitably cost a lot of money and recruit a large number of manpower, many people who had nothing to do will find new jobs to support themselves and even their families.

This is like the work-for-relief that was common in the previous life. It not only solved the problem of employment, but also eliminated some unstable factors in society.

At the same time, due to Idar's relatively closed geographical location and the world's relatively primitive aristocratic manor economic model, large-scale projects have greatly promoted the circulation of copper plates and gold coins in the Idar territory.

With more money in the hands of the people, they will be able to obtain better living materials, keep themselves fed, clothed and warm, and enjoy better living conditions.

As the Count of Idar, Bruno is also the largest noble (black) businessman in the Idar territory.

Almost everything the common people need can make Bruno make money to a greater or lesser extent.

Maybe the black bakery on the street is not opened by Bruno, but the grains needed to make the black bread must be purchased from Bruno. Even if these grains are not purchased from Bruno, the land where these grains are grown still belongs to Bruno. of.

Therefore, although coins one after another first entered the pockets of civilians.

However, after going through different links, they will eventually return to Bruno's pocket.

Although it seems that the starting point and end point are the same, after experiencing such circulation, the people can live a better life.

Bruno couldn't explain this to Old Ford, who only wanted to be frugal and save money, because even if Old Ford understood it, officials of all sizes in Idar might not understand it.

Therefore, Bruno can only hope that people in Idar will gradually learn to think amidst such subtle changes and re-understand the role of money.

Now that the construction of the hanging garden is completed, and the new wonder cannot be built immediately, Bruno naturally sets his sights elsewhere.

It’s time for Idar’s roads to be repaired!

Bruno had wanted to do this for a long time during the long winter, but he had always suffered from not having enough gold coins to support it, so he had to keep delaying it.

But now, the hanging gardens that have always accounted for the largest expenditure in the Idar Territory no longer require nearly a thousand gold coins per month, which allows Bruno to finally put the matter of rebuilding the road on the agenda.

The arrival of cement production methods undoubtedly provided him with greater convenience, so Bruno planned to build a wave of cement roads in one step!

The method of making cement is actually not difficult, especially with the guidance of the wonder construction system.

The only thing Bruno needs to worry about is the temperature at which the cement is fired.

According to the parchment, when firing cement, the temperature should generally be controlled at around 1,400 degrees, which would undoubtedly be the biggest problem in normal times.

However, this is a world with magic!

Anel's research on magic circles provides the possibility to solve this problem. UU reading www.uukanshu． net

Don’t forget, Anel can also fireball!

With experience in drawing suspended magic circles, Anel can be said to be very handy when designing new magic circles.

Although there are differences in some details, the general drawing ideas are the same.

Sure enough, within a few days, Arnel handed Bruno a satisfactory answer sheet.

After countless modifications, the first version of the heating array can successfully maintain the temperature during firing to about 1,400 degrees. This is the result of Anel combining seven burning arrays and three self-designed ones. The result of superimposing temperature control devices.

However, just burning the magic circle was not enough. Bruno specially asked people to build three blast furnaces with newly burned red bricks to ensure sufficient cement production.

The cement production process can generally be simply divided into two grindings and one burning.

First, materials such as limestone, iron powder, sand and gravel must be mixed in a certain proportion and then ground into powder.

The mixed powder is then sent to the blast furnace and calcined at high temperature through the heating array to produce cement clinker.

Finally, a certain amount of slag or fly ash and a certain proportion of gypsum are added to the cement clinker. After mixing and grinding, the cement is completed.

When cement is mixed with water and becomes a slurry, it can harden in the air or in water, and can firmly bind sand, stone and other materials together.
