Chapter 510 Will go to Liaodong farewell banquet

"Congratulations to Ping Liao!"

"Congratulations to the Holy Son of Heaven!"

"Congratulations to Daming!"

The wine glasses touched each other, Chen Zilong and others drank it all in one gulp, looked at each other and laughed heartily.

Xu Fuyuan, Xia Yunyi, Chen Zilong, Wang Jizhong and others gathered together for a feast and a drink, which was both a celebration and a farewell.

Chen Zilong has been appointed by the imperial court to temporarily entrust Liaodong Zuo to participate in politics, admiral to persuade farmers.After the next year, he will go to Liaodong with the governor Wu Yongxian to make overall plans for spring plowing.

"Even though Eastern Liaodong was deserted due to the war, if it is reclaimed and colonized, it will be fertile for thousands of miles, and there is a lot to do." Chen Zilong is in a very good mood, and he is full of ambition.

He has not passed the imperial examination and is still young, but he came to Beijing for a study tour by chance. In just a few years, he has already been a fourth-rank official.There is a vast world to let it sway, which is a good opportunity to make contributions and display your ambitions.

Everyone smiled and said yes, Xia Yunyi asked: "Brother Renzhong has been discussing Liaodong affairs with Governor Wu these few days, is it easy to get along?"

Chen Zilong said with a smile: "The agricultural work has been entrusted to someone. It is not only Master Wu's trust, but also the title of mentor. Listen to what Master Wu said, and there is also an explanation from Long Live."

"Brother Renzhong can be kissed by His Majesty, how can Governor Wu not believe in it?" Xu Fuyuan said: "Even with Master Xu's reputation, it is only natural that agriculture should be handed over to Brother Renzhong."

Wang Jizhong said: "Farming is the most important thing after Liaodong is restored. If we can be self-sufficient one day sooner, it will be a great achievement by Brother Chen."

Chen Zilong nodded again and again. He had a plan for this, and his teacher Xu Guangqi's suggestion made him quite confident.

"If Liaodong is to be self-sufficient, the imperial court will no longer have to transport food long distances, how much money will be saved?" Xu Fuyuan said: "With Liaodong as the base, the army can plow the court and sweep holes, go straight to Huanglong, and completely destroy Jiannu."

Chen Zilong caressed his forehead and said, "There are new crops such as rye, potatoes, and corn, and next spring there will be troops to help plow the wasteland. If there is no catastrophe, there may be no need for the court to adjust grain after autumn. Tens of thousands of The army’s expedition to Haixi may be possible only if there is another year’s reserve of cultivation.”

"In any case, Brother Renzhong will do his best to make contributions in rebuilding Liaodong." Xu Fuyuan raised his glass and said, "Congratulations to Brother Chen!"

"Thank you, thank you brothers." Chen Zilong raised his glass with a smile on his face, and had another drink with everyone.

Everyone drank and ate food, and chatted enthusiastically. Most of the topics were about Liaodong, about the victory of Pingliao.

No way, the success of Pingliao is not only big news, but also exciting.The most ferocious foreign enemy in the past ten years has been defeated, and they can enjoy peace again. Everyone is happy and happy.

"Jianlu seems to have been defeated all of a sudden. It's exciting, but it's also surprising." Wang Jizhong put down his chopsticks and said, "Do you think so?"

Chen Zilong nodded and said, "It's only been a little over a year since I went to the west of Liaoxi. I really didn't expect that Liaodong would be pacified so soon. However, at that time, Jianlu had already shown signs of decline. Under the blockade on all sides, Food and grass supplies are very scarce.”

"When it comes to food, supplies, weapons and equipment, I think they are the key to Ping Liao." Xu Fuyuan said: "It is the supply of the whole country that makes our Ming army powerful. Look at the expenses listed in the newspaper. But tens of millions."

"No matter how much money is spent, it is worthwhile to complete the great cause of Ping-Liaoning." Xia Yunyi said: "The Jiankui suffered heavy casualties, and they fled to the north. It is inevitable that there will be another ten years of peace and stability."

"Ten years is the least." Chen Zilong said with a smile: "You are studying in the Academy of Sciences, and you don't know much about the situation. Hundreds of thousands of elite soldiers and strong generals sit in the town, and the artillery and cavalry are fierce. Even if the northern captives collude, it is wishful thinking to join the bandits."

"The artillery should crush the Jian captives and the North captives." Xu Fuyuan agreed with this, saying: "The number is still increasing, I know that."

Wang Ji nodded emphatically, and said: "I heard that the Liao people around the capital are ready to return home. The imperial court will also introduce policies to restore the population of Liaodong as soon as possible and expand the cultivated land as much as possible."

Xia Yunyi pointed out the window, and said with a smile: "The girl who sells roasted sweet potatoes outside, who sells thirsty water in summer, is from Liaodong. Didn't you hear her yelling when you came? After the Chinese New Year, she won't be in the capital anymore."

Chen Zilong said with a smile: "I heard about it when I came here, and even took care of her business, and gave a few extra copper coins to help her make up for the travel expenses home."

"Brother Chen may still meet her in Liaodong!" Xu Fuyuan joked: "Since he is a commoner under Brother Chen's rule, having an extra family farming the land will also give Brother Chen some credit."

"In addition to farming, there are many jobs!" Chen Zilong glanced at several friends and said, "For example, paving roads and bridges, building houses, building water conservancy, mining and manufacturing, etc. Do you intend to go to Liaodong?"

Several people looked at each other with excited expressions, but still hesitated.

"If—" Wang Jizhong touched his chin and said regretfully, "If the cement is successfully developed, it can be of great use in Liaodong."

Xu Fuyuan hummed, and said, "Actually, it's not far from success. Moreover, even if it's not completely satisfactory, it's still much better than the materials used before."

"Brother Shen, I don't know if I can give you some pointers." Xia Yunyi frowned slightly, and said, "The letter has been handed in, should he have received it?"

China has a long history and has made brilliant achievements and made important contributions in the creation of human civilization.

The development process of ancient architectural cementitious materials started from "lime face" and yellow mud, developed to lime and "synthetic soil", and then developed to cementitious materials mixed with lime and organic matter.

China's ancient architectural cementitious materials have had their own glorious history. In the process of basically synchronous development with western ancient architectural cementitious materials, they are slightly superior due to the extensive use of cementitious materials combined with lime and organic matter.

But the development of China's ancient building cementitious materials, after reaching the cementitious material stage that lime mixes with organic matter, just stops moving forward, fails to stride a step further on this basic point.

However, the western ancient building cementitious materials continued to develop on the basis of "Roman mortar", and continued to improve towards the direction of modern cement, and finally invented cement.

As the "grain" of construction, cement is naturally also in the emperor's plan.

Moreover, the most elementary cement, that is, hydraulic lime made of clay and limestone, has been successfully developed by the Academy of Sciences, and its performance exceeds that of "Roman mortar", which is only one step away from Portland cement.

The key is that the emperor only knew the formula, but he didn't know where to find natural marl, or the raw material called cement limestone.

Moreover, he does not know the exact firing temperature.The quality of the products produced in this way will not be stable, and it is easy to have accidents due to the quality of cement.

Therefore, the advent of cement will be later, and repeated experiments are needed to find out the temperature and the best ratio.

In the eyes of the emperor, hydraulic lime can also be promoted and used.In particular, the characteristics of resistance to seawater erosion can play a great role in the construction of lighthouses and other projects in contact with water.
