"What are you going to do?" Xiao Zhuge walked to the dirty uncle and asked curiously, "Are you going to burn porcelain?"

"No." Uncle Master clapped his hands and slapped the dust off his hands.

A servant hurried forward, handed the clean handkerchief to the uncle, took out the water bag, poured water to wash his hands.

The uncle of the junior teacher answered Xiao Zhuge's question while washing his hands: "No, I'm working on a material for building roads and city walls, called cement."

"Cement? Water and mud are mixed? Was the mud specially burned?" Xiao Zhuge thought to understand what this was when he heard the name. "Does the water become as hard as a stone after it drys?"

The uncle gave a thumbs up.

Zhuge Kongming was indeed extremely smart.

But little Zhuge thinks that uncle is the smartest.

Otherwise, cement would not be developed.

Xiao Zhuge said: "There are still many remnants of the Yellow Turban Army wandering around in the wild, which is not a good time to build roads. The city walls are still very strong, so there is no need to build them, right?"

The junior teacher nodded and said, "The reason I developed cement is to repair the salt pond."

"Salt dry?" Little Zhuge widened his eyes.

The uncle of the junior teacher said: "Langya County is near the sea and has salt in the sea. Why do we need to buy salt from other places? It takes time to cook salt and waste materials. Although it takes a little longer to dry salt, the amount you get is very large each time. When I ask someone to repair the salt pool, the people of Langya County will not have to worry about eating salt. Not only Langya, but also the whole of Xuzhou will not be a problem."

Xiao Zhuge's face was solemn when he heard this, and he bowed deeply to the uncle of the junior: "I would like to express my gratitude to the people of Xuzhou."

Because of low productivity, eating salt is really luxurious for the people, but people cannot avoid eating salt, otherwise they will not even have the energy to work.

If salt drying can really increase the yield and reduce the salt price, so that the people can afford salt, it would be a great thing that benefits the people.

When Zhuge thought about the series of actions of his uncle after he came to Langya, he couldn't help but respect his uncle even more.

The series of things that the uncle did were for the people and were great things that benefit the people.

Such people are undoubtedly like saints.

It would be great if the person sitting on the dragon throne was like the junior uncle.

Unfortunately, why is the person in front of you not the surname Liu, not the royal family?

The cement was made very successfully. The uncle of the junior teacher wrote down all the detailed process and precautions, but he was still unable to make cement. Those craftsmen can retire.

After the cement was cooked, the uncle of the junior teacher asked someone to build a salt field by the beach.

The uncle of the junior teacher gave guidance on the side and asked someone to introduce sea water into the evaporation pond.

Nowadays, the air is getting hotter and hotter, and summer is already in the middle of the sun, so not long after, the sea water in the evaporation pool evaporates a certain amount of water.

The uncle of the junior teacher brought people to the beach again and instructed those people to introduce the remaining sea water into the crystallization pond and continue to burn the sun.

After a period of time, crystals appeared in the crystal pond.

The uncle of the junior teacher asked someone to collect the crystals and release the remaining mother liquor.

The toxic substances in the sea water are all in the remaining mother liquor and cannot be eaten by people.

The uncle of the junior master built a large area of ​​salt fields by the beach, so the entire salt fields harvested a lot of salt.

These salts have allowed the people of every household in Langya to buy salt at an extremely low price. From then on, they no longer have to sting and search for salt and calculate carefully. The uncle of the junior teacher also asked people to transport salt to Xuzhou.

Seeing so much salt, Tao Qian immediately transferred thousands of troops to the uncle, asking those people to go to Langya to protect the uncle and the salt field. Tao Qian also gave the uncle the right to recruit soldiers and horses by himself.

The uncle accepted it with a smile, but at this stage, it is enough to have an army of 1,000 people. The rest should work hard to build infrastructure.

Anyway, his safety is guaranteed in Xuzhou.

With Tao Qian in front of him, the other princes would not care too much about themselves.

After all, he is only fifteen years old and is Tao Qian's grandson.

He did so many things, but others thought that Tao Qian did it and put the credit on him.

Xiao Zhuge followed the young master's side throughout the whole process, and learned a lot when he saw how salt was produced.

During this period, Xiao Zhuge asked his uncle many questions.

The uncle of the junior high school chemistry textbook he had read before simply wrote down the silhouette and handed it to Xiao Zhuge.

Little Zhuge is so proud of his treasure.

"Bang!" Little Zhuge slapped his wrist and took his hand away. There was a dead mosquito on the palm of his hand. The bright red one next to it was Little Zhuge's blood.

Little Zhuge frowned and was very unhappy.

There are too many mosquitoes in summer and it is so annoying. But his physique is the most attractive mosquitoes. Even with a sachet on his body, he cannot stop the mosquitoes from approaching him.

It feels even more uncomfortable at night. I hear the mosquitoes buzzing in my ears and feel the itching on my body, and I can't fall asleep for a whole night.

Little Zhuge's eyes are all black these days.

You talk about mosquito nets?

Nowadays, mosquito nets are mostly made of brocade silk satin, which is not very breathable. Putting them all will make them extremely stuffy and affecting sleep.

The uncle of the junior teacher handed Xiao Zhuge a box of mint cooling paste and said, "You have someone make a few screen windows and screen doors, use mugwort to smoke all the mosquitoes out of the house, and then close the screen windows and screen doors so that the mosquitoes cannot enter, so you don't have to be harassed by the mosquitoes and have a good sleep."

Little Zhuge wrinkled his nose and said, "Screen window?"

The uncle of the junior teacher nodded: "Let the weaving mother weave the cloth not so tightly, and there are small holes between the warp and weft, so it is light and breathable, and it is just right for the screen window."

Xiao Zhuge immediately stood up: "I will go home immediately and ask the maids in the mansion to make screens."

After saying that, he rushed out like a gust of wind, which showed how much torture the mosquitoes on Xiao Zhuge, which made the young and old future prime minister of Shu become popular.

The uncle of the junior teacher called a middle-aged woman and ordered her to make screens.

However, the screen windows that my uncle wanted were not made of woven gauze, but were made of a kind of grass with very good toughness.

The stems of this grass are slender and tough. They were accidentally discovered by my uncle, so he thought about using it as the raw materials for screens.

Ordinary people are even very tired of wearing clothes, so how can they waste gauze and make screens?

This kind of grass is weed, produced everywhere, and the people use it to make screens and windows without spending any money.

After the uncle of the junior teacher asked someone to make the finished product, he sent the screen made of grass to pass over.

Now, the people of Langya have a very comfortable summer.

Little Zhuge came to the junior uncle with resentment: "You have a way to make a screen window, so I'll tell you a little bit."

The junior uncle smiled and said, "Okay, I will tell you what good things are next time."
