Chapter 56: The Prefect Visits 2

When he heard his daughter's words, Lord Qian came to his senses and realized that he had been talking nonsense. He laughed and covered up. After laughing, he stared at me tightly.

As soon as I looked at his eyes, I knew he was going to start interrogating me, but I didn't give him this opportunity and took them to the other side of the study, where there was something that could completely block his mouth.

In one corner of the house, there was something covered by a huge cloth curtain. I pointed at the cloth curtain and said, "Sir, I know what you want to ask, but it's not too late to ask after you look at it!"

Then he said to Qian Jing'er, who had not had time to dissipate, "I wonder if I have the honor to ask Miss Qian to unveil the curtain with me!"

Qian Jing'er looked at me with a smile and said, "Of course!"

Then he turned to the other side of the curtain, reached out and grabbed a corner of the curtain opposite me, and said sweetly: "Okay!"

I nodded, and then used force together to slowly uncover the curtain covering the unknown object, and the things below slowly exposed it as the curtain unfolded.

Except for me, the other three of the four people present were first confused and then ecstatic.

Lord Qian even ignored his identity as an official in the court, walked quickly to the thing and looked carefully. Qian Jing'er also placed her beautiful eyes completely on the object.

The object under the curtain is the model of the slum reconstruction plan I made.

Because many people in Shangling are paying attention to this project, I decided to make my reputation in one go. According to my basic idea, all the houses renovated this time are brick-concrete, that is, the walls are made of bricks, the roof tile is made of green tiles, and the roof is made of basic decoration. I added the concept of suspended ceilings in this country for the first time. In order to ensure the community hygiene, I also set up sewage pipes and septic tanks. The only regret is that there is no glass. After the project starts in the future, this model will be moved to a special room on site. A dedicated guard and a dedicated person will be arranged to explain. This is a bit like the current housing sales department of a community.

Of course, these are just models and cannot be really used in architecture. There must be one very important thing for construction, that is, drawings. However, there were no computers, printers, and special drawing tools in this era. Although the Deng family had excellent brushes and inks and papers, engineering drawings were not water drawings for painters. Although the drawings drawn by painters were more colors, beautiful, and artistic, but when used in engineering, it was not possible. At first, I also found someone who was better to write and draw for me, but the things they drew were not as good as mine.

Requirements. Because the drawings are all made of basic elements, such as lines, dots, etc., and the brush cannot draw them at all. There is no way, I can only do it myself, no ruler, I sit with wood, and then carve scales such as millimeters and centimeters according to the current size. Without a suitable drawing pen, I went to the kitchen to find charcoal and cut to the right level. Although the lines drawn are still thicker, they are much better than the brush. As for the size on it, I can only find someone to put it on it. The model was made by me after I finished drawing the drawings, I found Shangling’s most outstanding carpenter and stayed up late.

I picked up a long wooden stick from next to the model and gently knocked on the wooden bar surrounding the model.

The three of them took their eyes off the model and looked at me.

I bowed gracefully and said, "Please allow me to give a detailed introduction to all the audience!"

"First of all, I'll show you something." I took out two things from the bookcase: one was a test piece, one was a box of cement, and handed it to Lord Qian.

Mr. Qian took the test block. The first feeling was very heavy, and the second feeling was very hard. He pinched the test block with his hand, and there was no trace left on it. Then he looked at the cement, and the only feeling was that it was like flour. After handing these things to the master, he said, "What is this? What does it have to do with the dock?"

I pointed to the cement in the master's hand and said, "This is called cement, it is a new type of building material. The reason why the construction on the dock has not started is because the research was not successful at the beginning. But I can tell you now that after our experiments yesterday, the cement has been successfully studied. And I decided to start the construction tomorrow, and I hope the prefect will join Ling Ai to participate. The other piece in your hand is cement mixed sand. The strength of the stone can be compared with the hard stone. Moreover, it can mix sand and stick the bricks together firmly."

The prefect was shocked when he heard this, and quickly grabbed the test block from his master, ran outside the house and smashed it hard. Of course, the test block was not blocked!

"Haha!" He laughed like a loud voice and patted my shoulder, saying, "This is a great achievement! With this thing, everything will be built much faster than using your head now!" Of course, Lord Qian knew the prospects of cement. If it is used to build fortresses in border areas, it will be faster and more solid than using stones now.

Qian Jing'er next to me was also staring at me with her eyebrows, her eyes full of dazzling colors.

And I decided to speak nonstop today. While Mr. Qian was happy, I threw a bombshell: "This thing has two characteristics: one is that it can be hardened in water. The other is that it can be changed by controlling the ratio of cement, sand and stone. However, this ratio is only me who controls the ratio of cement, sand and stone!" I have my own reasons for saying this. Architecture is a separate and complex discipline. Unless there are people who study chemical engineering or who also study architecture, they can wait for the cement production process and the cement mix ratio of different levels. Although there are no modern testing equipment, I don't know which strength level my cement belongs, but I believe that as long as it is cement, the strength can be changed by changing the mix ratio!

Lord Qian looked at me stupidly, his mind churned: "Can be hardened in the water means that a stronger river embankment can be built. The strength can be controlled, which means that this cement can be used in any place that can be used. If the court knew, wouldn't it be just around the corner for promotion?"

Seeing him dazed, I can understand that anyone would be surprised by the birth of a new thing, not to mention the new thing that has so many uses!

After living for a while, Lord Qian finally came to his senses, patted my shoulder hard, and said, "You kid are such a genius! If you hand over the recipe to the court, wouldn't that be a great achievement!"

"Leave it to the court?" I curled my lips and thought to myself: Is there any intellectual property rights here, patents, and no relevant laws. I told the court that I am not looking for competitors for myself? Moreover, the most favorite move of the court is to throw you a sesame and green bean-sized official, and everything you have to contribute to the court. I am not that benzene! You think I am a nerd who has bad brains and dare to dig up the ancestral tomb for a small official. So I smiled and said, "Sir, I am a businessman, and the most important thing for a businessman is profit. So it is impossible to give me this recipe to the court. You also know how big the profit is. But if the court needs cement, I will give a suitable price, and the court can buy it with money!"

Lord Qian said anxiously: "If you hand over the recipe to the court, your future will be limitless!"
