Next, apart from making mosquito incense, Shi Qingluo began to groom polygonum multiflorum every day.

She filled her space with seeds and seedlings that she had collected from the Academy of Agricultural Sciences.

Apart from crops and fruits, there were also quite a number of medicinal herbs.

One of them was polygonum multiflorum.

In order for their county to develop so that she would not have to worry about using soap and shampoo containing polygonum multiflorum in the future, she put in a lot of effort.

Their new house was almost ready.

Shi Qingluo and Xiao Hanzheng went over to take a look at it together.

They saw the soil in the house and courtyard.

If there was a puddle of water, their shoes would be dirty when they stepped on it.

Moreover, Shi Qingluo suddenly thought of a problem.

The floor tiles and ceramic on Bai Xu's side had already taken shape, and the first batch of them were used to construct their house.

However, she suddenly remembered that she had to use cement and sand to paste the floor tiles.

There wasn't any cement yet.

She pulled Xiao Hanzheng and asked, "Old Xiao, I want to create something that benefits the country and the people. Do you think we should do it ourselves or find Mo Qingling?"

Xiao Hanzheng was accustomed to his wife's wild ideas.

"What is it? Tell me more about it."

Shi Qingluo described, "It's something called cement.

"After using it, the ground will be very smooth and it will be more durable than the dirt road. When it rains and there's water, the shoes won't be stained with dirt.

"The key is that we need floor tiles and ceramic for this to work.

"Oh right, if you mix cement and pebbles together, the mixture will be much stronger. It will be more durable than mixing with glutinous rice, and the cost will be much lower.

"You can also use it to build houses and bridges.

"Most importantly, it is very useful for paving roads."

In ancient times, many sturdy structures had the gaps between bricks and stones filled by glutinous rice mixed with hydrated lime.

And cement could completely replace this.

In modern times, there was always a saying, "to get rich, fix the roads first."

Shi Qingluo believed that it was the same in ancient times.

If the roads from Xiaxi village to Nanxi county were paved with cement, the time taken by the vehicles to travel back and forth would definitely be reduced by half.

Transportation would be much more convenient and faster.

When Xiao Hanzheng heard the latter part, he realised that cement was not ordinary.

As his little wife had said, it was really something that would benefit the country and the people.

He thought for a moment and said, "Let's find Mo Qingling to cooperate.
