Chapter 132 The Discovery of Lime

The king's side will go on the road with Li Xili on this trip. He wants Li Xili to see his coal base along the Yellow River, which undoubtedly adds confidence to Li Xili. The first stop is naturally to take a boat to Jinxiang Mansion, which is the base of the coal boss next to the king.

The spring breeze is green on both sides of the Yellow River, and the fishing boats on the river are also flowing endlessly. The king is in a happy mood, but Li Xili is not as good as the king. He also wonders whether the emperor can agree to the conditions proposed by the king.

Next to Wang, Li Xili and others got off the boat and changed horses. The happiest thing along the way was Yang Xi. Finally, he came to the capital to open his eyes. There were still a lot of emotions along the way. After walking for a long time, he came to Jincheng. Wang side stopped at the fork road and asked Li Xili, "Do you want to take a rest in the city first, or do you want to see my Jinxiang Mansion first?"

Li Xili was very curious about Jinxiang Mansion. In the capital, he also looked at several businesses next to Wang, restaurants, teahouses, and teahouses, all of which were innovative: "What's the worry about when entering the city to rest? I really want to see: how is the difference between Wang Shilang's Jinxiang Mansion and the coal mining place he usually sees, and why the coal sales of Jinxiang Mansion alone? Good, even the Xixia Palace has to send someone to buy it.

Wang laughs loudly: "I'll let you open your eyes today." He turned the horse's head. ** He shook the rein hard. The horse dripped and ran to the fork in the road. Li Xili followed in the next few days, but he saw the fragrant forest by the roadside with luxurious branches and leaves, bursts of fragrance. It was not far away. Wang stopped the horse and pointed with a whip and said: "Under the mountain ahead is my Jinxiang Mansion."

Li Xili looked at the pergola with his hand. Bohuling was like a mansion, like a prosperous town, with faint cooking smoke curling around, and pedestrians passing through it. Li Xili asked in surprise, "This, this is all your Jinxiang Mansion."

The king looked at his masterpiece and said "of course", and his pride was overflowing with words,

Going further, several people entered the village and town. Suddenly, they came out of the town a lot. They chased the horse and shouted, "Mr. Wang is coming." Li Xili saw that these people were smiling, and the whole village was lively because of the arrival of the king. Even Yang Xi behind the team waved his hands with everyone, as if the person who welcomed him was.

Li Xili looked at the street. The houses were neatly arranged, the streets were bustling, and there were medical centers, schools and other facilities. He admired the king more and said, "This is where the coal farm workers live. The so-called safe living can work happily."

Then Wang Bong took Li Xili to visit the coal wharf. A row of neat sheds were built on a large open space in front of the wharf to store coal. The porters were busy and orderly, carrying coal to various places along the Yellow River on the boat.

Li Xili couldn't help asking, "It's coming to midsummer. Why is there still coal transportation?"

Wang Bianxin knew that Xixia was still charcoal-grilled meat, so he said, "Whether it's midsummer or spring and autumn, the coal used in restaurants in various places is also supplied by Jinxiang Mansion. In Jinxiang Mansion, only the supply in winter is in short supply, and there is no weekday backlog. Let's go and take you to see the coal mining area." After that, there was a reminder to take Li Xili. Coaling farm,

The coal mining site is not far from Jinxiangfu Village and Town. In the boundless empty land, you can see several coal mining sites. The coal mining sites are surrounded by accumulated coal, as well as vehicles transported by ox carts on dry roads. There are temporary rest sheds in the coal mining place, and there is also a cattle turntable next to the coal mining well to transport the coal excavated from the well to the well. The miners were sweating but working hard,

It's the first time that Li Xili has seen such a clear division of work. Every process, there is a special person staring at each process, which is an eye-opener. They turned around the mining area. Yu Da was sweating profusely to look for the king and saw the Xixia people first. I was stunned, and then I thought that this prince was popular, and it was normal to make friends with Xixia people,

The king ordered Yu Danian to treat everyone well, and he went back to the mine. Just now, when he took Li Xili to visit, he saw a strange thing, but it was inconvenient to ask in front of Li Xili,

The king walked over by himself and saw He Xingyuan and Xiao Wu, putting the coal cakes layer by layer, with stones sandwiched between each layer, so that the layers were piled up into a hill, and the bottom was covered with firewood,

Wang side lay on the horse and looked at the two people busy. He Xingyuan was almost the same as Xiaowu's size. Then he wiped his sweat. Xiaowu first saw Wang side and said happily, "Mr. Wang, come back. You drove very well."

He Xingyuan looked back at the king behind him and looked at himself with a smile. He clapped his hands on the dust and said, "Sir, we found it."

Wang listened to He Xingyuan's words and jumped off the horse to see what they were doing. He saw the firewood at the bottom of Xiaowu. Manager He explained, "This is what Xiaowu found. There is such a stone in the wasteland of our coal well. This stone is very different after it is burned. Sir, come and have a look."

At this time, the hills piled up with coal cakes were already full of gas flames. The stones burned in the fire and became crisp, making a crackling sound. Xiao Wu also clapped his hands on the soil, stood next to the king and said, "This has to be burned for a while. I'll take you to burn it." After saying that, he led the king to an open space not far away. There was a pile of gray powder on the open ground. He pointed to the gray substance and said to the king, "Sir, you know a lot. Look at what this is."

Wang side squatted down and looked at it. He twisted a little with his hand. His eyes lit up. He stood up and patted Xiao Wu and said, "Xiao Wu, you have done a great thing."

Wang was very angry when he saw this thing. He promised the matter under the moon, and it would be settled. What they found in front of them was nothing else. It was lime. Wang knew that if he mixed lime with tung oil or fish oil and put thick silk in the solution, it could fill the boat. This was what he read in a book before crossing. The ancients used it, but they haven't seen lime since the Song Dynasty,

Wang Fang knows better that lime can be used to paint walls; the buildings built by lime are particularly strong, not to mention that he has been hoping to build a tile house under the moon. He found that lime is a good thing. What's more, he has mastered the manufacture of lime on his side, and the use of waste stone next to the coal well, all of which make Wang My heart is in full bloom,

He rewarded Xiaowu and He Xingyuan. Xiaowu and He Xingyuan couldn't get along with each other. Next to King Xie, he returned to the blacksmith's shop in the town. Xiaowu hurriedly took out all kinds of newly created mining tools. While pointing to these chisel axes and saws, he said to the king, "Sir, this Bohuling is not a mountain. There are really a lot of precious stones. Look, these are all made of steel.

Wang Bian remembered that the whole mountain was given away by buying land. In his heart, he knew that his advantage had taken advantage of him, and he also thought that the crystal stone on his body inadvertently let himself return to the Song Dynasty, which was also a free gift. It was funny in his heart.

On the day Wang's side came back, the whole village, which was surrounded by the original two villages under the Bohuling Mountains, became more lively. Yin Shijie held a banquet in the house. Although it was a big show, it cost was very little money. In Jinxiang Mansion, there were people who specializing in cooking for workers, they were busy doing more things, and each family The household also brought all the cooked meat and stewed dishes at home, and the house was full of houses,

When Wang was not an official, he liked to get together with everyone. Even if he became an official, he did not have an official attitude. As always, he liked to laugh and live together. Even Jiao Deyou from the Zhou family dock a few miles away came to hear the news.

When Wang saw his eldest brother-in-law, he asked, "You promised the marriage of Yu Danian and the second girl of the Zhou family." Yu Danian listened to a simple smile, and Jiao Deyou hurriedly said, "This boy has made a lot of money with you. Now that the house and land have been bought, we are waiting for an auspicious day."

What he said is true. All the people who work with the king are now in infinite scenery, and people's hearts are doing things smoothly. Not only a few of them, Jinxiang Mansion is a scene of living and working in peace and happiness, and even the people in Jincheng City are envious.

Wang looked at Jincheng with a gray city wall in the distance, and calculated the next plan for Jinxiang Mansion. He planned to fulfill his promise to Cheng Hao's expansion of the city, and then turn the villagers of Jinxiang Mansion into city people. Of course, this will wait until he comes back from Xixia. Anyway, Xixia's trip will earn this ticket.

Xixia, the purpose of the trip next to the king, is inconvenient to stay in Jinxiang Mansion for a long time. The next day, the king left Jincheng and went on the road with Li Xili again. Along the way, he also passed through Yunyan, Yanzhou and other places. Wherever he went, Li Xili saw the people's pursuit of the king; the officials' love and awe of the king, which made Li Xili admire the five bodies to the king. /P>

When they arrived at the king's house in Yanzhou, in addition to the gifts given to Li Xili by the emperor, most of the items they brought were gifts given by people everywhere, ranging from precious calligraphy and painting, to brocade sachets, and various specialties. The king distributed these to everyone on the entourage. He set out from Zhe Kejun and Zhang Ping with him. Follow Li Xili to Xixia for the second time,

As soon as Li Xili arrived at Xingqing Mansion, he felt the gap with the State of Song. The shops on the street were messy, the business was light, and pedestrians seemed to be burnt by the scorching sun. Most of them were depressed and listless people. Even on the streets of Xingqing Mansion, there were many ragged passers-by who were begging along the way, patrolling officers and soldiers, and kept dispersing. Beggar, seeing a depression, although Li Xili did not meet robbers on the way this time, Li Xili was more depressed than when he went there,

The king looked at this scene and thought that Xixia's border was not good at this time, and the economy was at the bottom of the valley. It was a good time to put forward the conditions. He was waiting for the news of the call in the mansion. After two days, Li Xili frowned and said, "Now the emperor seems to have no intention to govern the economy. He wants to send troops to fight, but I heard that Wang Shilang is coming. The emperor still wants to meet.

Wang said that Li Liangzuo is really good. At present, the border is so difficult that he still has to fight, but it doesn't matter. I will see Li Liangzuo tomorrow and have a good time with him. If he is willing to die, I will be willing to bury him.
