Chapter 92
"Shopkeeper", seeing Tong Xiangyu urging him again, Wang Rui had no choice but to complain.
"The current output has temporarily reached its limit. As workers' proficiency increases, the output will naturally increase soon.
You also know the situation in my village, all the houses are cramped.
There are more than 80 people who are producing soap in the workshop, and they have already occupied all my wing rooms. So if I want to expand the scale, I have to wait for me to build the new workshop site before I can expand it.”
Wang Rui also wanted to increase production, but the conditions were there.
Shengyuan Village was originally a farm, which was the residence of tenants in the nearby dry land. Where could there be any big house?
There is only a house with a courtyard room in the village. This was specially built, originally for the owner to live in.
Wang Rui has now suspended recruiting refugees, because the only 200 people make the Zhuangzi unable to squeeze out.
In fact, Wang Rui had discovered this problem before and had already had the idea of expanding Shengyuan Village. However, because Wang Rui had not yet studied something, he had not started to do it yet.
That's cement.
The wooden houses of this era are of course good, but construction is not easy. You need to buy wood that has been dry for a long time and spend a lot of money to hire craftsmen to build it.
With the architectural style of this period, it will take more than a month to build a workshop of size and size required by Wang Rui.
This is still a room.
If you want to build multiple rooms at the same time, you can only invite more craftsmen and labor to invest in it.
Now, Wang Rui didn't want to wait for so long, and didn't want to spend that in vain, so Wang Rui didn't do it and chose to bring cement, a construction artifact, to this world.
Silicate cement, also known as Portland cement.
This cement has very good performance and high cost performance, which is very suitable for most large-scale projects. With the needs of industrial development, many new models with different characteristics have been studied and applied to different building materials.
Wang Rui did not choose high-grade cement this time, which required large-scale chemical and smelting industries to produce. What he wanted to do was just the most basic ordinary silicate cement.
The materials needed are available in this era, such as limestone, clay, iron ore, and gypsum. As long as you are willing to spend money, these are actually very common things.
There are not many projects in Qixia Town, so there are not so many lime shops here. Wang Rui can only purchase a large amount of these materials by sending people to Shibalipu.
It is too difficult to crush limestone. Wang Rui has no place to find a cement mixer and is about to build a hydraulic crusher by the Xiliang River to crush limestone and iron ore into powder.
Those farmers who were not selected into the workshop and the village guard team were doing this at this time, building kilns for coal and forging cement.
The tablet brought by Wang Rui was full of information downloaded from various historical groups.
Among them, the kilns required for dry distillation and Portland cement have all the materials, specifications and shapes, and everything needed can be done with things from this era.
Coal is distilled and coking and can remove sulfur, and coke produces higher calorific value, making it an excellent smelting fuel than coal and charcoal.
Now Wang Rui has the money earned from the soap business, so he can set up an experimental kiln in advance, and initially try to smel steel by himself, and then cooperate with hydraulic machinery to forge some parts for use, such as bearings, gears, screws, nails, etc.
These are things to be used in the future, as well as building more processing machinery, which can create more value and earn more money, so that Wang Rui's current team can enter a healthy development, rather than gradually scrambling to die.
After talking with Tong Xiangyu for a while, Wang Rui returned to his room.
Although the rooms are full recently, there is always a room in the inn for Wang Rui.
After changing his clothes, he left the room and came downstairs. As soon as he got off the stairs, he saw Bai Zhantang being arrested by the head of his head, and there were Xiao Guo and Li Dazui beside him, and an old woman sat next to the table.
Could it be that the plot of Bai Zhantang being taught a lesson by the gambling giant?
Wang Rui had expected it, but he still shouted: "Lao Xing, what are you doing?"
As he said that, Wang Rui used his light skills to jump down from the second floor and blocked the door.
"You get out of the way, don't get involved in your business."
Seeing Wang Rui blocking in front, Xing Xing looked like he was impartial in law enforcement, and pulled Bai Zhantang, who was shackled and locked his hands, and walked out the door.
Wang Rui is now a celebrity in the town.
It was rumored in the town that he had unparalleled martial arts skills. He defeated the Beggar Gang team and Elder Ma in a row, made a fortune, and saved countless wealth.
Magistrate Lou had already remembered Wang Rui in his heart, treating him as a new local tyrant, and was preparing to collect a large amount of taxes at the end of the month.
If Xing Hunter sees Wang Rui at another time, he will greet him with a smile and have a cordial conversation.
But at this moment, Xing Chuan seemed to have changed his personal life, and his whole body seemed to have entered office mode, with a serious expression and a serious smile, and he really had the attitude of an iron-blooded Chuan.
After leaving Wang Rui, Xing led him to walk out the door. Bai Zhantang realized and broke away from Xing.
Seeing this, Xing thought he was going to resist arrest. He felt timid in his heart. He opened his eyes wide with a habit of bluffing and pointed at Bai Zhantang, as if he wanted to use his official skin to scare the other party.
"Slow down, Lao Xing."
Bai Zhantang waved his hand and said, "You can catch me, but you have to give me a reason."
Be reasonable, that's easy to do!
The arresting captain immediately felt relieved.
Bai Zhantang is a master's business. No one in the entire Qixia Town does not know. Once he resists arrest, the captain will really not be able to go back to submit the office.
Facing Bai Zhantang's question, Xing Huo Ting said skillfully: "Article 29 of the Seventh Ming Law stipulates that when gathering people to gamble, the least one is to blame for the stick, and the worst one is to chop the hand!"
The proficiency of this sentence is very high. It seems that the head of the verdict has been told to others a lot, but I don’t know how many people have been punished.
Bai Zhantang argued that he had not gambled, but was told that gambling was not OK. After checking the gambling money, he had already been five or six cents of silver.
In the end, Bai Zhantang blamed Li Dazui for losing the bet and actually reported the news. He took him to the yamen and got beaten with him. When it was dark, the two of them came back from the yamen.
Seeing that Bai Zhantang was beaten to the slap, Li Dazui's mother suddenly realized that as long as Bai Zhantang refused to change her mistakes, Li Dazui would be brought in sooner or later, so she proposed to have a few bets with Bai Zhantang.
Wang Rui was happy that Bai Zhantang learned his lesson when he saw this familiar scene, so he became a spectator throughout the journey and witnessed Bai Zhantang being a legendary gambling master: Xuanyuan pressed his finger on the ground and rubbed wildly.
At the same time, Wang Rui's super feeling carefully observed the true qi running route in Xuanyuan's body.
