Clay and cement are not difficult to burn.
The three raw materials are mixed in proportion, then smashed into adobe, and burned in the earthen kiln for a long time.
After cooling, they are taken out and smashed with a hammer, and then ground into powder with a stone roller.
Finally, the finished product of soil and cement is obtained.
In this process, because of the participation of Cui Weng of the pottery workshop, Luo Yong and the others took many detours.
Because the main component of soil cement is loess, the final burned cement will naturally be earthy in color.
Luo Yong thought the color was okay.
At least it looked warm in winter.
People here were used to living in adobe houses and were used to this color.
With the first batch of soil and cement produced, Luo Yong asked his disciples to pave a cement road from the courtyard built by his disciples in the village to the Xu family guest house.
This cement road is not very wide.
It is just a path about three feet wide that is paved next to the original dirt road.
It winds down from the hillside next to the village entrance, passes by the Luo family yard, the Luo family pig pen, and exits.
After arriving at the entrance of the village, leading to the guest house of the Xu family, everyone originally wanted to spread the bricks farther away, preferably to the sheep pen, but in the end they gave up due to lack of materials.
It was early autumn, and the climate was relatively dry.
The roads they had paved in the evening the previous day were basically dry by the next day.
This cement road is very smooth.
Walking across it on Yanerfei feels like floating on the clouds.
It is fast and steady.
It is also unusually easy to push a wheelbarrow on it.
In the days that followed, people came to Xipo Village to visit this path almost every day.
A group of old men touched, looked at, and stepped on it to experience the feeling on their feet.
It was extremely rare.
Someone approached Luo Yong to place an order, and Luo Yong also refused to accept anyone who came.
He asked his disciples to work overtime to continue the production of the next batch of soil and cement.
Of course, their wages were also indispensable.
For Luo Yong, using his own disciples is more reliable than using outsiders.
For his disciples, working for their master earns more than working for others, and they can also learn many new technologies.
This time this countryman Luo Yong did not hide the cement production technology from them, but Luo Yong also said that this time he did not plan to share this technology with others, and asked them to keep it secret first.
The reason for keeping it secret first is for no other reason than that I don't want to steal the limelight from His Majesty the Emperor.
No matter how useful the soil cement is, as long as he doesn't disclose the formula, the impact will be limited.
If he wants to publicize it, he can wait until the corn harvest is over.
As for the price of the soil and cement, Luo Yong's asking price was not too much, only six cents per load of soil and cement.
This price is acceptable to an ordinary wealthy family in Lishi County.
They bought soil and cement from Xipo Village, along with some fine gravel dug from the Sanchuan River, and smeared it on their houses.
On the walls and the ground, in this way, there will be no plaster on the walls, and the ground will not be muddy when it rains.
For a time, almost every household in Lishi County was renovating their houses with soil and cement.
On the dirt road from Lishi County to Xipo Village, people carrying burdens and pushing carts come and go every day.
In early September, when Tang Jian and his party returned from the northern prairie, they saw such a prosperous and busy scene.
When they went to the food shop to eat, they found that the floor in the shop was as clean as a stone surface that had just been washed with water, and it was also extremely smooth and smooth.
Looking at the kang surface, it was so clean that there was not even a trace of dust.
There was even some reflection near the window.
A few green solid wool felt cushions were spread on the khaki smooth surface, which looked clean.
And elegant.
"How can it be so smooth when it is paved with hard materials?"

Tang Jian and others were surprised.
He stretched out his hand and touched the surface of the kang.
It was hard and cold.
He tapped it with his fingers.
The feel was the same as tapping on a stone surface.
No two.
"Several gentlemen must have come from afar.
The walls and floor of the kang in my house are all made of a kind of material called cement.
They were built by Luo Sanlang of Xipo Village and are now in this city.
Basically every household in the shop does this.
"Although Tang Jian and his party were not wearing official uniforms, it was clear from their appearance that they had a good background.
The shop owner did not dare to neglect and went forward to receive them in person.
"You mean Luo Sanlang from Xipo Village?"
Tang Jian secretly thought, and it turned out to be true.
"You also know Luo Sanlang."
Upon hearing the tone of Tang Jian's words, the shop owner guessed that the other party also knew Luo Sanlang, and he suddenly felt proud.
"I've seen him once," Tang Jian said with a smile.
"If you have time, you can also go to Xipo Village this time.
I heard that Luo Sanlang built a cement road in Xipo Village.
Cars driving on the cement road will feel like they are floating on the clouds."
The shop owner told Tang Jian and others Recommend them to Lishi County's famous attractions.
Tang Jian really planned to visit Xipo Village.
When the sage sent him to the prairie to teach him how to make soap earlier, he expected that this technology would definitely bring about a huge improvement in the relationship between the Central Plains and the grassland, but he still did not expect the reaction on the grassland.
It would be so big.
Nowadays, wherever these teams have been, almost everyone is praising the greatness and kindness of Tian Khan.
The people on the grasslands are brave.
The harsh living environment has made the grassland people strong and brave, but they are also simple and simple.
The vast majority of the grassland people do not have too complicated thoughts.
Many tribes on the grasslands still live almost isolated lives, trading goods only with a few merchants recognized by them.
They are very wary of the outside world because there are always rumors in their tribes about how outsiders are.
The land is cunning and untrustworthy, and there are legends about how their ancestors were betrayed.
However, this time, when Tang Jian and others took the soap-making technology to the grasslands and spread the news, some tribes with a higher degree of Chineseization soon came to learn from it, and then spread it to hundreds of people. , slowly, many tribes that were originally reluctant to interact with the outside world began to cautiously try and test.
Later, wherever they went, they received an extremely warm welcome, and it seemed as if there had never been any barriers between nations.
Everyone in the grassland knows that what these Han people brought them this time is a technology that can benefit the grassland.
As long as they learn this technology, they can make soap from excess animal fat in the future.
This soap will not last for a long time.
If they are broken, they can be accumulated and exchanged for grain, salt and cloth when there is a market.
As long as they exchange more grain, their children will be less hungry, exchange more cloth, their women will be less cold, and exchange more salt, everyone will become stronger, and they can feed the cattle and sheep.
With some salt, they will also grow fatter.
Tang Jian and others received an unprecedented warm welcome during their trip to the grassland.
When the always tough and fierce prairie people open their arms to embrace you, you will find that their embrace is so hot and sincere.
In the next few years, it will be extremely difficult for some careerists to provoke hatred and war between ethnic groups.
Through this incident, Tang Jian also deeply realized the importance of technology.
Even a small soap-making technology can bring such a huge change to the lives of the people at the bottom, and then have a profound impact on the entire country.
At the same time, he realized earlier than anyone else what a terrifying existence Luo Sanlang was in this world.

"A sneeze" Luo, who was far away in Xipo Village, sneezed hard at this time.
"Maybe I caught a cold."
Erniang was taking down the clothes hanging on the bamboo poles one by one at this time.
Their local dianthus bamboo poles are very thin, strong and fine in texture, and are very durable.
They are used to dry clothes.
The quilt couldn't be better.
"Nothing."
Luo Yong felt a little dizzy.
It was probably because he hadn't had much rest in the past few days.
He was digging fermentation tanks and doing cement business.
Although he hired people to do it, he still had to worry about it. .
Speaking of which, his body is still not strong enough.
Although it is much better than when he woke up, if he works hard for several days in a row, he will soon show a lack of energy.
A young man of fifteen or sixteen years old should not be like this. , to put it bluntly, the foundation is still too poor.
Luo Yong shook the dustpan in his hand, and some plant ash came out from it, covering a puddle of chicken droppings on the ground.
It was getting dark just now, and when their chickens came back, they refused to go back to the chicken coop neatly, and wandered around the yard for a while as if they were just wandering around.
Some of them were not self-conscious enough.
There's poop in the yard.
Luo Yong used plant ash to cover all the puddles of chicken excrement.
After a while, he used a broom to sweep up the plant ash and chicken excrement.
The plant ash has a strong ability to absorb water and dirt.
After doing this, the yard looked very clean again. .
Er Niang and Peng Er are currently responsible for the main sanitation work in the Luo family.
Luo Yong often talks to the children at home, asking them to do more things within their capabilities, and try to share the burden with Er Niang and the others.
And Luo Yong himself has always done this.
"Brother" Wulang came in from outside carrying a cabbage at this time, and looked at Luo Yong with obvious disgust.
"What's wrong?"
Luo Yong didn't know why.
"This broom is for sweeping the livestock shed."
Wulang said.
""Well, actually, Wulang does this sweeping job on weekdays.
The author has something to say: Tang Jian: Luo Sanlang is a very, very terrible existence.
