Starting from the Western Han Dynasty

Chapter 168 The Gap Between Imagination and Reality
But... chess?checkers?Jumping rubber bands?Shuttlecock?The eagle catches the chicken?
Li Huan himself felt that he couldn't find anything more exciting than playing cards, unless it was Landlords...

Huh?
Then let’s fight the landlord!

Li Huan locked his target, but he also thought that he would wait a few days before talking, otherwise the excitement would be too great and he was really afraid that these people would not be able to bear it.

The spiritual life of the Han people is really a bit barren.

"Master!" Excited Cuihua found Li Huan leaning against the door frame in a daze, immediately put down the cards in her hand, and stood up hastily.

Hongzhi and Manguyin also hurriedly came forward with smiles and helped Li Huan sit down.

Da Changqiu stood up with a smile and stood on the side, as if he was waiting for Li Huan's instructions.

Li Huan glanced at his tired look and waved his hand: "Go back and have a good sleep. When the queen gets tired of this, we can talk about anything else."

"Here!" Dachangqiu bowed his hands and yawned uncontrollably.

Li Huan waved his hand: "Cuihua, you should go back and have a good sleep. There is nothing wrong today."

"This..." Cuihua hesitated and looked at Man Guyin and Hongzhi.

"Don't worry, we will take good care of the master." Hongzhi smiled softly.

Li Huan yawned and waved his hand to drive Cuihua away. Cuihua finally felt sleepy and went back to her room to sleep.

After Li Huan washed up, he began to eat shredded mutton made with red fat. He listened to the two talking about things on the grassland and casually looked through the official documents that Sima Qian had processed.

All the previous official documents had been copied from bamboo slips to paper. This relaxed and comfortable transition made everyone feel comfortable.

The conclusion is that from the top to the bottom of the county magistrate, [-]% of the officials in Anyang County have nothing wrong to do if they are pulled out and beheaded.

Li Huan personally reported to Emperor Liu Che that he hoped to send a heavyweight, preferably Zhang Tang, to handle this matter personally. He was busy developing the barren land of Anyang County and really had no time to deal with these matters.

Then, he also took a swipe at Sima Qian, saying that Sima Qian is really not the material to be a county magistrate. Taishi Ling is a person who is very suitable for his current official position. If this guy has any harsh words in the future, please ignore this person and so on. .

After stamping the seal, Hongzhi happened to tell her about how she had followed the ranch and arrived at Dragon City before becoming the Aries Princess.

However, after listening for a while, Li Huan felt bored and led the two of them out to find Zhang Qian.

Zhang Qian's brick yard outside the city has a large number of people. The advantage is that the first batch of fired red bricks has already left the kiln.

The hot red bricks exude a scalding temperature.

Zhang Qian was very excited. He held a few pieces of red bricks with his wooden hands, squatted on the ground and began to study them.

Li Huan waved his hand. After Zhang Qian saw it from a distance, he laughed and walked forward: "That's great. According to the ratio you gave me, the bricks are almost not broken!"

A group of craftsmen gathered around and looked at Li Huan with admiration in their eyes.

Ever since he came to this world, Li Huan has become almost immune to the admiration.

This is the kind of look he sees most every day.

Li Huan walked into the pergola and sat down. Zhang Qian couldn't wait to ask: "The red bricks are done, what about the cement?"

"Your Majesty is urging you?" Li Huan couldn't help but joked when he saw Zhang Qian was so anxious.

Hearing this, Zhang Qian had no choice but to sit down: "Zhu Maichen had an accident in the north, and now His Majesty is eager to see that the new building materials you mentioned can be used, from the straight road left by the Qin Dynasty to Lingzhou." Road construction is so expensive that His Majesty can't even sleep well."

"Mix clay, lime, and water in a ratio of three to one. Don't make it too dry or too watery. Then use a wooden board to spread the mixture evenly on the open space." Li Huan pointed with his hand. In one direction, he raised his palm and said, "It's about five fingers thick and about ten feet in diameter."

Zhang Qian immediately turned to look at a man who looked like a foreman: "Hurry up and go!"

"Here!"

The man immediately went to do it.

Hongzhi and Manguyin curiously moved over to take a look.

Zhang Qian seemed to want Li Huan to take charge of these two people, but Li Huan had already taken a roll of drawings from the accompanying guard.

"I have to rebuild the car. I don't like the current two-wheeled car. You have people try to design this shaft according to what I said. If this wooden shaft can be designed successfully, we can have a four-wheeled shaft."

"Where is the charioteer?" Zhang Qian immediately turned his head and shouted in a certain direction.

In an instant, six or seven burly men came over.

After the seven people walked in, Li Huan suddenly smelled a smell unique to Da Changqiu, and asked curiously: "Are you all eunuchs?"

"Reporting to the Marquis, we are all eunuchs, but the seven of us are all proficient in making cars. If the Marquis gives us any orders, we will not slack off."

Li Huan understood where these people came from. No wonder Zhang Qian was so anxious and asked about the cement.

He turned the drawing in another direction: "The buckles between the wheels and axles of the carriages and chariots we use now need to be improved. Wait for seven people to take a look at my drawings first. If there are any problems, I will Let me tell you in detail."

"Here!"

The seven people were extremely respectful. They sat on the floor and looked at the drawing carefully. From time to time, they would discuss it in a low voice.

"Brother Ziwen, you have looked at my concubine a lot." Li Huan joked.

Zhang Qian smiled bitterly and said: "Junhou, can't you let those two Huns come this way? With them looking like this, the people below won't dare to work!"

"There will be more days like this in the future. If they want to see it, just let them see it." Li Huan's indifferent attitude made Zhang Qian dare not say anything more.

"Brother Ziwen, give these to the appropriate craftsmen and ask them to make them immediately. Everyone who comes into contact with cement work must wear these things."

Li Huan took another roll of drawings from his entourage.

Zhang Qian was shocked. After unfolding it, a look of surprise appeared on his face.

However, what surprised Li Huan was that Zhang Qian actually saw some clues: "Junhou, is making cement very harmful to the body?"

"That's right." Li Huan made no secret. "It's not a disaster to mix clay with lime alone; it's not a disaster to bake water-soluble cement. The problem lies in the process of crushing cement, which is extremely inconvenient..."

"Why don't you ask your Majesty to send a group of slaves over?" Zhang Qian immediately came up with an idea.

"No, masks and gloves can reduce a lot of damage to a large extent, and cement factories will definitely bloom everywhere in my big man in the future. We can't build cement factories, so we need to find slaves?" Li Huan shook his head and rejected Zhang Qian's suggestion. : "The world is big, but when that time comes, where will we find so many slaves?"

"This is just a lack of consideration by this official..." Zhang Qian chuckled, got up excitedly, and handed the drawing to a servant beside him. After giving a few casual instructions, the servant immediately turned around and left.

Li Huan got another drawing: "From this site to the city, on the left and right sides of the main road, drainage ditches four feet deep and three feet wide must be dug to lead the accumulated water in the city out of the city. Lime kilns for burning lime On the other side, we need to rebuild more cement kilns for firing cement, but we need to wait until gloves and masks are distributed among the workers."

After seeing something out of the corner of his eye, he said: "From today on, a large boiler will be set up on the construction site. Everyone needs to drink the boiled hot water. If they don't obey this order, a few people will be kicked out." several."

Zhang Qian felt that the front ones were fine, but the one in the back drank boiled hot water...it was really strange.

At this time, he noticed that Li Huan's eyes were looking into the distance. After looking curiously, he found several people peeing on the edge of the water diversion ditch... Zhang Qian's face turned dark, and he raised his hand. Among the people standing behind him , someone immediately took someone over.

The few people who urinated into the ditch were immediately carried away...

"This kind of thing will be strictly forbidden by my subordinates..."

Zhang Qian was interrupted by Li Huan in the middle of his sentence: "Brother Ziwen, the rest don't matter, but the order to drink boiled water must be strictly enforced. Anyone who refuses to obey will be driven out from here. When I was in the army , all of them were issued with the order of beheading and making a decision."

"This..." Zhang Qian shook his head, "No matter what, it's just that it's not easy for these people in the mountains to change some habits."

"It was their own choice to lose the opportunity to change their whole family's lives." Li Huan was rarely cold-blooded.

"Brother-in-law! Why did you lose the opportunity to change the life of the whole family?" Liu Ling suddenly appeared out of nowhere. When Zhang Qian saw it, he quickly stood up and saluted: "I see you, Lord!"

"How polite, Doctor Zhang." Liu Ling sat down next to Li Huan, close enough for Li Huan to smell her body odor, and asked intimately: "What did brother-in-law just say? I have never seen you so scary. ?”

Zhang Qian hurriedly lowered his head, turned and walked away. He could participate in the internal affairs of the court, but regarding Liu Ling and Li Huan, he pretended that he had seen nothing and heard nothing...

"The problem of drinking water." Li Huan glanced at promax indifferently. This time, he was quite aboveboard; Liu Ling just smiled, full of confidence in his charm.

"There are too many people gathering together now." He pointed to the distance: "Go this way, they are all factory areas. Although it is downwind and will not pollute the water source, if the people inside are not careful, it will cause The epidemic will happen sooner or later."

"Drink boiling water?" Liu Ling was very surprised.

Li Huan said helplessly: "It's boiled water, not drinking boiled water directly!"

"It's just such a small request. If you really can't insist on it, it won't be considered an unjust death." Liu Ling hurriedly smiled and said: "Brother-in-law, is that cement?"

"That's right." Li Huan nodded and said: "Mix clay with lime at a ratio of three to one. Mix thoroughly. After it dries, it will be as hard as stone and invulnerable to water and fire!"

Liu Ling exclaimed: "Does that mean you plan to make the entire roads in Anyang City look like this?"

"First of all, the main road. I plan to build the ancestral house with cement mixed with bricks. Anyway, the imperial court stipulates the construction of residences. The princes have their own regulations. As long as I don't overstep, no one can help me build it. "

Liu Ling looked away in shock: "Cement, red brick?"

"Not only that, the foundation must be well done. In fact, the full name of this kind of house should be called reinforced concrete structure building; in addition to using new cement red bricks, a reinforced concrete structure is also needed as a skeleton support, which abandons the use we have been using wooden structure.”

"It's too complicated, I can't understand it at all." Liu Ling smiled sweetly.

Li Huancai didn't believe Liu Ling's words. She could understand the Chastity Arch, so how could she not understand what she was saying now?

"Other than that, there is no change in the method of block building. It all requires formwork support. Only after it solidifies and dries can it be dismantled."

Liu Ling frowned: "There are no wooden boards between floors?"

"No, use thumb-thick steel as the outline of the muscles and bones, just like the structure of human muscles and bones." Li Huan took off a few grasses as a metaphor, and Liu Ling marveled as he watched: "But, how can the cut steel be smelted into In one body?”

Li Huan was suddenly startled... He's right!The steel frame can be tied up, but there are no welding machines in this era!

It is not difficult to generate electricity. There are many rivers here and the water flow is also large, but... the principle of an electric welding machine is not difficult, but it is almost a fantasy to make it. If you really have this idea, you might as well study what Gatling is. Why do you breathe blue fire?
"Do you have a way to solve this problem?" Li Huan asked Liu Ling shamelessly.

"Unless it is supported by iron pillars, in that case, the cost will not be cheap." Liu Ling felt that it was a bit excessive.

This is not a problem with iron, but with the casting technology of this era. It is very difficult to forge iron pillars like wooden pillars.

"Brother-in-law, let's change the idea and fill the walls with red bricks as supports. The beam and column structure remains unchanged, and the wooden boards are still laid between the floors. It is not impossible to form!"

"That would be too nondescript." Li Huan shook his head and said, "I originally used red brick structures to change the living environment of ordinary people. Now after discussing with you, I discovered the shortcomings contained in it."

"The shortcoming is that the two steel beams and columns cannot be fused together." Liu Ling actually understood Li Huan's difficulties, which made Li Huan extremely excited.

"With wooden structures, you don't need to think so much. Mortise and tenon snaps can solve this problem without a single nail." Liu Ling couldn't help but squint and smile: "Brother-in-law, why do you think you are a little discouraged?"

"How can I not be discouraged!" Li Huan shook his head and said: "I originally thought that the physics I discovered could change the times..."

"Brother-in-law, can't this change the times?" Liu Ling waved his hand and asked the guards around him to get the red bricks. "According to what my brother-in-law said, red brick and cement walls are extremely stable. If they are covered with tiles, , is it possible to build a house at the minimum cost and shelter the poor people in the world?"

"We only hurriedly built this kind of building in a few days. The red bricks have been completed, and the cement can also be completed. But if ordinary people want to build a house, the first thing is to use clay." Liu Ling looked at Li Huan with ecstasy: "Mud has to be mixed with things like pine hair and reed stalks to ensure that the mud wall will not collapse. This is one of the reasons.

Secondly, it is quite particular. You also need to use molds to press out the soil foundation blocks, and then erect the beams and columns first, and then build the soil foundation walls along the beams and columns. Not to mention the manpower and material resources required for the process of building soil foundation walls; alone Said to make the soil foundation blocks, and then put them in the sun to dry, back and forth, it takes several months of work.

I am especially afraid of rain. Once I get caught in the rain, all the previous efforts may be in vain. But brother-in-law, your approach has completely changed a lot. Ordinary people's houses are just one-story thatched houses. If the wind and rain are too strong, they will be swept away. The thatch on the roof makes a windy and rainy night bearable.

However, brother-in-law, the cost and labor hours of the red bricks you made are obviously more time-saving and labor-saving than soil foundation blocks, and the production process is also faster. If this is the case, then why can't we try to use beam-column structures as bones and muscles? , a way to combine red bricks and cement with skin and flesh? "

"In this way, rows of bungalows can appear in front of us, and the people can still live in peace and contentment. Why not do it?"

Li Huan looked at Liu Ling in shock: "You actually know so much?"

"Hey, to be honest, there are heavy rains and strong winds in Huainan country, and people are often displaced. Brother-in-law, the cement red brick you invented is like a lifesaver for the people of Huainan country!"

Liu Ling suddenly left his seat and knelt down in front of Li Huan: "Brother-in-law, my sister is not doing this for her own selfish reasons. I beg her brother-in-law to come to Huainan in person after the construction in Anyang County is completed, so that the people can live in peace. If you work hard, the people of Huainan are also the people of the Han Dynasty and your Majesty's people!"

Li Huan took a deep breath, not because of Liu Ling's words, but because of his vision...

"Hurry up and speak. All the people in the world are naturally my big man's people, His Majesty's people. As long as a certain family can contribute, they will definitely not refuse." Li Huan helped Liu Ling up, feeling that her whole body was soft and soft. bone……

Nonsence!

Li Huan, Li Huan, what are you thinking?Have you forgotten that there are Jinzhan and Liu Yun waiting for you at home?

Not to mention, there are also Wei Shaoer and Cuihua, Bai Zhi, Shengxue Shi, Hongzhi Yu Mangu Yin, etc...

Do you really think you have eight kidneys?
Well, I don’t have eight kidneys, but I can pretend that I do?

"So? Brother-in-law agreed?" Liu Ling looked at Li Huan with joy.

Li Huan supported the hand, wiped some oil, and then took it back: "Look at the curved plow and the columbine, do you need my nod to promote them in our country? The same is true for cement and red bricks."

"Brother-in-law, with you in this world, I don't know how many poor people can live because of you!" Liu Ling expressed his heartfelt praise.

Li Huan shook his head and said: "I'll kill you. The world only lives because of Your Majesty. Without His Majesty's wisdom, no matter how talented I am, I'm just a man." He pointed in the direction he came from: "Outside the city, there is a large open space. I once told you that I would build a square there, not only a cement square, but also that after Anyang County becomes wealthy, I would like to ask His Majesty for permission to build a statue of him here so that all the people in Anyang County can enjoy it. People who live a good life understand that it is His Majesty who made them live a good life!"

Li Huan almost laughed out loud in his heart, "Xiao Nizi, although I am addicted to your beauty, it does not mean that I am crazy. Do you want to set a trap for me?"You are still a little tender!
However...Liu Ling's intelligence really attracted Li Huan's attention. If...it wasn't for her background, Li Huan would have really wanted to get closer to her and discuss some academic issues in depth with her.

Seeing that he had tricked her unintentionally and without leaving any trace, Li Huan immediately fought back. Liu Ling did not dare to show off too much and smiled happily: "What my brother-in-law said is true. It is precisely because you have such a wise and powerful person like your Majesty." Emperor, my big man will get better and better!"

The messengers of embroidered clothes are invisible to the eyes, but Liu Ling believes that there are messengers of embroidered clothes everywhere.

All she could do was to act from the perspective of a brother-in-law and a little fangirl, so that Li Huan's unintentional display of licentiousness would be seen by the embroidered cloth messenger and secretly reported to Liu Che.

Such a talented person is easy to use, but...how could Liu Che not be on guard?

In Liu Ling's view, if there was no precaution, why would he marry Princess Linqiong first and then Princess Nangong?
Therefore, since Liu Che is on guard against Li Huan, Liu Ling believes that he can achieve his goal!
