    'boom!  boom!  boom!  ¡¯

    Pan Jixun exerted all his strength and smashed it a few more times, but still only smashed away some powder and gravel.

    He finally determined that this small stone was no different from a big stone.

    "Huh" Pan Zhongcheng threw away the hammer, moved his numb arms, and stepped forward to study the stone carefully.

    He picked up the powder on the ground and looked at it carefully, and even gave it a taste

    Mr. Zhao was dumbfounded. Can you eat this?

    "There is no glutinous rice, no egg white, what kind of material did you use to be so strong?" Pan Jixun looked back at Zhao Hao, the white ash at the corner of his mouth could not conceal his desire for knowledge.

    "Can you taste this?" Mr. Zhao opened his mouth wide. Is this a mouth or a chemical analyzer?

    "I can only taste it. You used hydrated lime, sand, gypsum" Pan Zhongcheng smacked the taste in his mouth, feeling a little unsure, so he leaned on the lump and licked it again.

    "There seems to be a faint iron smell"

    It¡¯s a wolf killer.

    Zhao Hao thought of the word "submit" in capital letters, and suddenly had the urge to keep Lao Pan'er in captivity and let him act as a human flesh analyzer for him.

    In this way, the chemical industry of the Ming Dynasty could start at least ten years in advance.

    Fortunately, Lao Pan'er was a dignified third-rank right-deputy censor, and could not be silently listed as a missing person, so Mr. Zhao's evil thoughts were dispelled.

    Pan Zhongcheng, who still didn't know that he had almost lost his freedom, still asked like a big curious baby: "What other ingredients did you add? Is it expensive? How long did it take for it to become like this?"

    "Cement, the home-made product is worthless. It has been three days since it was built." Zhao Hao smiled slightly and said, "Isn't Zhongcheng in a hurry to go home? I won't delay you on your way. Hurry up and it might get dark.  I can get home."

    "You!" Pan Jixun was furious and wanted to spit out fragrance again.

    But he was really interested in the ¡®cement¡¯ that Zhao Hao was talking about.

    Pan Zhongcheng's expression changed several times, but he finally relaxed his posture and said with a smile: "You kid, when did I say I was leaving?"

    He quickly signaled the servant with his eyes to carry the luggage back.

    "Are I the kind of person who starts at the beginning but ends at the end? If you say you want to help the elders of Kunshan fight the flood, then you will definitely stick to it until the storm is over."

    "Let's forget it, you old man is too angry, and my children are all scared." Mr. Zhao still shook his head.

    "You!" Pan Jixun's blood boiled for a while, but he still suppressed his temper under the temptation of cement. He forced out a smile and said, "Okay, I promise not to get angry again. Is that settled?"

    "What should I do if my words don't keep my words?" Mr. Zhao asked childishly.

    "What do you think we should do?" Pan Jixun felt like his penis was about to explode.

    "You have to promise that every time you get angry, you will stay with me for one more month." Zhao Hao said seriously.

    "Uh" Pan Jixun was speechless and couldn't nod.

    Zhao Shouzheng also secretly felt worried for Lao Pan'er.  I thought that because of your bad temper, if you really nodded, you could just change your household registration to Kunshan County.

    "Look, I know your words don't count at all." Zhao Hao turned his head and pretended to leave.

    "Don't go, don't go." Pan Jixun had no choice but to hold Zhao Hao and said, "I promise you, why don't you do it?"

    After a pause, he pointed at the pile of stones and said: "As long as the cement is as amazing as you said, I promise to keep it for an extra month until it is over. Is that okay?"

    "Well, that's enough." Zhao Hao finally nodded, and the two of them hooked up like children.

    Mr. Zhao then stopped acting maliciously and took Pan Shen down the embankment.

    Without the obstruction of the dam, Pan Jixun saw that there were ten large boats coming with Mr. Zhao.

    Zhao Hao nodded, and Yu Ben ordered his men to lift off the oilcloth covering the ship.

    I saw that the first boat was filled with dirty sacks.  On the next nine boats were boatloads of rough stones.

    By the way, these ten boats all came to Kunming with Mr. Zhao yesterday.

    In other words, half of the ships Mr. Zhao brought yesterday were not grain.

    This is why he was so aggressive when he first came up, inciting the people to attack Lin Xunjian and the Xu family's servants.

    I was really worried that if Inspector Lin found out that his boat was loaded with half stones and half grain, then it would be like yellow mud falling into his crotch. It would be either one or the other.

    Fortunately, Lin Xun¡¯s button collapsed, which made Zhao Haobai worried

    ??~~

    The workers took the sacks off the boat and piled them in the open space by the river.

    Zhao Hao asked someone to open a bag and show it to Pan Jixun.

    "So thin, like fried noodles?" Pan Shen grabbed a handful and looked at it carefully.

    Just when Pan Jixun was about to have a taste, Zhao Hao quickly grabbed him.

    "This thing will react when it comes into contact with water. If you don't want to choke your throat, just eat it."

    "Uh" Pan Jixun hesitated for a moment, and finally resisted the pica hidden deep in his heart, clapped his hands and said, "How do you use this cement?"

    "Just take a look." Mr. Zhao smiled and asked Yu Ben to demonstrate it to Pan Shen'er.

    Yu Ben ordered people to open a few bags of cement, and took river sand and gravel directly from the river. They mixed them roughly in a ratio of one to one to three, added one third of the water to the cement, and mixed it on site with a wooden stick.  stand up.

    "Can we still use gravel?" Pan Jixun opened his eyes again.

    In the process of building river embankments, he hated gravel.  Because there are too many stones, the dam will leak.

    "But those disobedient workers refused to sift it clean, so they just filled the embankment with soil and stones.  As a result, a thousand-mile dike was destroyed in one hole, which can affect the entire section of the dike.

    Of course, there are too many pebbles along the river

    Now that Zhao Hao uses gravel the most, Pan Jixun's interest becomes even more intense.  Xin said that it seems that the consumption of cement and stone is much less than imagined.

    While the workers were stirring, Zhao Hao had someone dig a trench the size of a coffin board in the ground to make a foundation.

    When the trench is dug, the concrete is mixed.

    He asked Yu Ben to first lay a half-foot-thick concrete base on the bottom of the trough, and then lay rough stones of different shapes on top.

    Wait until the rough stone is inserted into the concrete about half way before pouring concrete.  After all gaps are filled, rough stone is laid and concrete is poured layer by layer.

    In this way, as the walls were raised layer by layer, an ugly and uneven wall appeared in front of everyone.

    Finally, fill the gaps with mortar and small stones to ensure that the stones are completely wrapped in concrete.

    ¡°Well, it looks much more pleasing to the eye.

    The whole process does not require professional bricklayers, and there is no technical content. It is just a matter of matching odd-shaped, large and small rough stones and piecing them together as flatly as possible.

    From the beginning of laying the concrete to the completion of the entire wall, it was completed in just one meal.

    It made the sweat pores all over Pan Jixun¡¯s body explode!

    ¡°Because if the stone pond is built normally, in such a short time, even the holes in a stone may not be drilled out.

    Not to mention how long it takes to cut a stone that meets the specifications.

    What kind of speed is this?

    This is as fast as flying!

    It doesn¡¯t seem impossible to build a stone embankment every month.
