Chapter 390 3-combination soil!
But in this case, is Shen Zheng helpless in dealing with the muddy ground?
of course not.
She also knew a predecessor of cement flooring. The difference between this building material and cement was the iron content and the method of firing lime. Even when she was young, this material was still widely used.
That is - Sanhe soil.
Sanhe soil, as its name suggests, is a mixture of three materials. And Sanhe soil has its own unique advantages over cement.
——It is soil-based, has strong drainage in humid places, and can absorb moisture from the ground.
After being compacted layer by layer, mortar has a certain strength. Although it is not as strong as cement, it is completely sufficient for the current cloth shop. Moreover, mortar is like an indestructible cockroach. Within a certain period of time, it becomes harder and harder!
Shen Zheng felt excited.
When she was in college, she was very curious about ancient buildings and learned about the production method of cement mortar.
Its raw materials are also very simple. It is called three-in-one soil, but in fact there are more than three raw materials that can be used, including limestone, loess, clay, shells, fine sand, glutinous rice, broken tiles, and even straw.
Of course, the lime and soil forging are both necessary, and as for other raw materials, just use whatever you have.
Shen Zheng was the first to exclude glutinous rice. They couldn't even bear to eat it, so why use it to tamp the ground? The workers were so greedy that they drooled at the ground every day.
She looked at the river dam next to her and stopped walking, no longer following Liang Fu.
Liang Fu continued to talk non-stop, introducing his designs to her.
"The gate needs to be opened wide enough to allow at least two carriages to pass at the same time. Lord Shen, please look over here... Lord Shen?"
He turned around in confusion and looked at Shen Zheng who was walking out on her own.
"Master Shen, where are you going?"
Shen Zheng pointed at the river dam and said, "I have an idea, but I don't know if it is feasible. Please follow me, my lords."
Liang Fu and Shen Xingjian looked at each other, and an idea popped up in their minds at the same time: Lady Shen is going to come up with something new again, and the thing that can make her act like this must not be an ordinary thing!
The two of them quickly quickened their pace and followed Shen Zheng.
When they were near the dam, Shen Zheng slowed down her pace. In the eyes of Liang Fu and Shen Xingjian, she seemed to be walking on her toes.
Shen Zheng walked and stopped, but didn't see what she was looking for.
Liang Fu was anxious and asked, "Master Shen, what are you looking for on this river beach?"
Shen Zheng stared at the gravel under her feet without moving her eyes, afraid of missing it. She whispered, "Limestone."
In fact, limestone is relatively rare on river beaches, and Shen Zheng came here just to try his luck.
"limestone?"
Liang Fu and Shen Xingjian were completely confused. They had never heard of this stone before.
Shen Zheng squatted down, picked up a stone and looked at it carefully. After a moment, he noticed that the two people behind him had stopped moving.
She raised her head and smiled apologetically, "I'm sorry, my Lords. I was lost in thought. Limestone is... chalk. Have you heard of it?"
The two of them shook their heads like rattles.
Shen Zheng scratched his head and changed the wording: "Stone forging? Stone forging?"
The response to her was still the rattle.
"Uh......"
Shen Zheng had never learned about the application of limestone in the Great Zhou Dynasty, so he really didn't know what to call limestone at this time.
She threw the stone in her hand back to the river beach and described it to them: "Limestone is a kind of calcified... uh, brittle stone, basically grayish white, can be ground into powder, very similar to shells."
She paused, "When limestone is ground into powder and calcined at high temperature, it becomes lime. Of course, the shells that the official authorities mentioned can also be ground into powder and calcined into lime, but here, limestone is more common than shells."
Liang Fu hissed and said to Shen Xingjian: "It sounds... so similar..."
"Dolomite." Shen Xingjian continued.
Shen Zheng looked over suddenly and asked excitedly, "Dolomite? My Lords, do you know where to find this kind of stone?"
Liang Fu looked at Shen Zheng with a complicated expression.
He frowned and pointed down the river. "Sir Shen, this is still your territory. I know there is dolomite at the foot of the mountain over there, but you don't know."
Shen Zheng was stunned.
"It's at the foot of the mountain?" She had never noticed it before!
Liang Fu exclaimed, "Go straight along the river. Isn't there a mountain over there? You've never been there. Do you know where the other side of the mountain is?"
Now it is Shen Zheng's turn to become the rattle.
"It is a mountain, but I have never been there and I don't know where it is."
Liang Fu sighed, "Forget it, you've only been here for a short time and have been busy with affairs."
Shen Xingjian coughed and agreed, "You are right. Why would Lord Shen go to the mountain for no reason? And that mountain is on the border of Tongan County. Lord Shen doesn't know about it, so it's understandable..."
Shen Zheng felt extremely touched by the two people's tolerance.
She did what she said, straightened her clothes and ran upstream to the river bank, "My two lords, please follow me!"
When the few of them just set out, Shen Zheng was still looking around with great interest.
After she had seen enough, she began to paint a rosy picture for Liang Fu and Shen Xingjian: "Sanhetu, do you know Sanhetu?"
The rattle started to shake again.
Shen Zheng pretended to be deep and began to whet the appetite of the two men.
She first asked Liang Fu: "Sir Liang, do you think that not laying bricks in other parts of the cloth workshop will actually cause a lot of trouble for the operation of our cloth workshop?"
Liang Fu looked at her suspiciously, and did not answer at first, but asked her: "You want to spend money to lay bricks? Lord Shen, please don't blame me for not saying it in advance. If you want to lay bricks in that huge cloth shop, you can't do it without thousands of taels of silver!"
Shen Zheng made a "hmm" sound and waved her hand at him, "Please talk to me first. Is it troublesome?"
"It's troublesome." Liang Fu curled his lips. "It's troublesome, so what? We can only pay more attention to moisture prevention and ask the workers to be more careful not to splash mud onto the cotton cloth."
He knew that Shen Zheng might have a way, and thought to himself, what a little fox.
But he deliberately ignored the conversation and even counted on his fingers to do the math for Shen Zheng.
"Think about it. If we were to lay bricks for a cloth shop, we would have invested a large sum of money, but the return would not be very sufficient. But the workers are different. They are there to work, so it doesn't hurt to ask them to be more careful."
Ugh.
Shen Zheng sighed in her heart. She knew that Liang Fu deliberately didn't ask her about her method and didn't give her a chance to show off. But what he said was also the truth.
No matter how honest an official is, when handling an incident, he will give priority to letting existing personnel solve the problem.
It’s not that Liang Fu is evil-hearted, but that the perspective is different, and the subconscious way of dealing with the problem will be different.
But many people have never thought that whether it is a jurisdiction or a workshop, or a factory or company in the future, if they want to keep up with the changes in society, they must continue to invest manpower to solve the endless problems and strive to catch the train of the new era so as not to fall behind.
This will directly lead to a disproportionate relationship between manpower input and output, and the burden on workers will become increasingly heavy.
