Li Shimin

Chapter 522
"Yes, Father!"

Li Chengqian looked happy, and quickly saluted.

Immediately, he sat on the sofa beside him.

At this moment, Dai Zhou on the side had already read the entire account book, his face full of doubts.

"Your Majesty, I see what is written in this account book, that during the construction of the martial arts hall, only [-] Turkic slaves, [-] craftsmen, and [-] soldiers were relied on?

In just three months, the six main buildings of the entire lecture hall were built? "

"This matter, I am very suspicious?"

Hearing this, Li Shimin just chuckled, and then looked at Li Chengqian at the side.

"The prince will explain this to you!"

"Yes!"

Hearing this, Dai Zhou was taken aback for a moment, but still cupped his hands, and quickly looked at Li Chengqian.

Li Chengqian, who had just sat down and was ready to listen to the political affairs for two hours, couldn't help being startled.

Inexplicably feeling a kind of uneasiness, I was cheated!
However, he hurriedly said: "Dai Shangshu doesn't know, in fact, these four hundred Turkic slaves, three hundred artisans, and two hundred army soldiers are already the limit of the number of artisans that can be accommodated by the construction site of the martial arts hall.

These [-] Turkic slaves were doing hard work on the construction site.

Moreover, although these Turkic slaves have been working for a year, they are still strong and healthy, and they are guarded by 70 soldiers. For these Turkic slaves, [-] people supply a main building, which is equivalent to a hundred people from my Tang Dynasty. The people worked hard.

In three months, with sufficient supplies of cement, sand, and bricks, six buildings were built! "

After finishing speaking, Li Chengqian looked at Dai Zhou, "So, I wonder if Dai Shangshu understands?"

Dai Zhou was dumbfounded and looked at Li Chengqian in a daze.

After a long while, he opened his mouth and continued to ask: "Your Highness, what I'm asking is that building a house is so time-consuming and labor-intensive. Why can it be built so quickly?"

"This?"

Li Chengqian was also startled, and looked at Dai Zhou with a strange expression.

"Dai Shangshu, seventy Turkic slaves and fifty craftsmen build a building, three months is a normal speed!"

Hearing this, the corners of Dai Zhou's mouth couldn't help twitching slightly.

But still patiently, he continued: "Your Highness, I have supervised the craftsmen who built the palace, and it will take at least half a year to build a house of that size with only these craftsmen!"

Now, Li Chengqian finally understood, this stubborn old man has been using wood to build palaces to look at reinforced concrete buildings!
This is what the Master said about the generation gap!
Afterwards, with a chuckle, he continued, "But Dai Shangshu, the house you supervised was built with wood. And this lecture hall is built with reinforced concrete!"

"If it weren't for those Turkic slaves who were sometimes clumsy and didn't know how to use tools such as small carts and jacks, the construction speed could be faster!"

"Is it faster to build a house with reinforced concrete than with wood?"

Dai Zhou asked in a daze.

"It's natural!"

Li Chengqian chuckled, he was very familiar with these things, "To build with reinforced concrete, you only need to lay a good foundation, make a formwork, tie up the steel bars, and pour the concrete.

As for building with timber, by the time the timber has been transported thousands of miles, several months have passed, and the reinforced concrete building has already been built.

It's just that if you build a small hut, it seems that wood is faster than reinforced concrete! "

After listening, Li Shimin, Fang Xuanling and others were thoughtful.

As for Dai Zhou, his expression changed, and he sighed softly after a long time.

"I didn't expect that it would be so convenient to build a house with reinforced concrete!"

"That's natural!"

Li Chengqian said sincerely: "When my Zhuangzi built the house last year, it only took half a year for a courtyard and hundreds of small two-story buildings!

If Dai Shangshu also wanted to build a concrete courtyard, he had to hurry up. Not only did these Turkic slaves not have to pay wages, they were also very strong! "

"Thank you, Your Royal Highness!"

Dai Zhou cupped his hands again.

As for what's on his mind, I don't know.

After that, he asked Li Chengqian again for a long time about the construction of the lecture hall.

To this, Li Chengqian could only reply one by one.

Li Chengqian may not understand other political affairs.

However, it can be said that Li Chengqian is more proficient in building houses and paving roads with reinforced concrete, or managing Zhuangzi than anyone here!
In the end, although Dai Zhou praised Li Chengqian's proficiency very much, he was still somewhat disappointed.

However, on the second day, Dai Shangshu, with his servants, came quietly to the lecture hall in a carriage.

"Dai Shangshu?"

Although the lecture hall has just been built, it has not yet started to recruit students.

However, more than 1000 veterans from Jiangwutang Farm have arrived.

And Li Jing and Qin Qiong also stayed in the farm all day.

As soon as Dai Zhou got off the carriage, an old soldier quickly reported the matter to Li Jing.

"I have met Duke Dai, Duke Yi!"

Dai Zhou hurriedly bowed his hands to salute.

"I don't know why Dai Shangshu is here?"

Li Jing asked directly.

As for Qin Qiong on the side, there was also a hint of vigilance in his eyes.

Now, the lecture hall is equivalent to the barracks of the two of them, and they are very vigilant against any civil servant who comes.

"Going back to the two princes, I heard that the martial arts hall has been built, so I made a special inspection!"

Dai Zhou said with a gentle face.

"There are only a few dilapidated houses and more than 1000 hectares of wasteland, which made Dai Shangshu laugh!"

Li Jing said slowly.

"more than 1000 hectares of wasteland?"

Hearing this, Dai Zhou's expression changed.

He quickly raised his head and looked around.

Sure enough, as far as the eye could see, a large piece of wasteland had been surrounded by a fence.

At the same time, there are straight concrete roads extending far away.

"Dare to ask the two princes, what will this more than 1000 hectares of wasteland be used for?"

Since the Martial Arts Hall was specially run by Li Shimin for the disciples of Wu Xun, only Li Jing, Qin Qiong, Duan Zhixuan, and Hou Junji, the generals in Chang'an City, knew the specific scale of the Martial Arts Hall.

Furthermore, it was Fang Xuanling and Changsun Wuji who often followed Li Shimin.

As for Dai Zhou, although he is also an ex-officer of the Qin Palace, as Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, he is either busy with the autumn harvest, or busy with farming in Shunzhou, Yuzhou, Huazhou, Changzhou, and Dingxiang, which are newly established Dudufu.

All day long, busy feet don't touch the ground.

Therefore, they didn't pay too much attention to the Martial Arts Hall.

In fact, not only Dai Zhou, but also the rest of the civil servants did not pay much attention to this newly built lecture hall.

They can't look down on the school of a group of martial arts dudes!
"Reclaim farmland and build farms!"

Regarding Dai Zhou, Li Jing had no intention of hiding anything.

"Cultivate farmland?"

Hearing this, Dai Zhou couldn't help but widen his eyes, "If such a large piece of wasteland is reclaimed as farmland, how many people will it take? How long will it take?"

This stubborn old man, no matter what he faces, the first thing he thinks about is the process!
In this regard, Li Jing and Qin Qiong have already adapted to it.

"Dai Shangshu didn't know that although there were more than 1000 hectares of wasteland, not all of them were reclaimed farmland, but pigs, cattle, and sheep were also raised, learning from Jin Wang Lijiazhuang.

Moreover, thousands of disabled veterans have been summoned here, and the extent to which these veterans are capable is the extent.

The rest is the work of those bastards! "

"Learn from King Jin's Li Family Village?"

Dai Zhou was distracted by Li Jing's words again.

"Those cubs, also want to participate in the reclamation of farmland?"

　Explain it again today!
　　I didn't write late on purpose, but I picked up the old man at eight o'clock in the morning and went to the Chinese medicine hospital for consultation. After the consultation at twelve o'clock, I went to grab the medicine and handed in the prescription, and I didn't catch it until four o'clock in the afternoon.

　　Then, I sent the old man to the high-speed rail, and it was past six o'clock when I came back!
　　Alas, the dental fillings that have been made appointments can only be rescheduled!

　　However, the three chapters must be finished before going to bed! !
