I raise dragons in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 175 Trouble
The construction of the city wall did not go as smoothly as Zhang Yi had expected. In the afternoon, Bao Xin and Zixuan came to ask for help.

Bao Xin led Zixuan into the room.

"My lord, Zixuan has something to look for."

"Why?"

"We have encountered a little trouble. At this time, the moat has been excavated, and all the soil in the moat has been used as the city wall. The main structure of the structure has basically begun to be compacted. However, now it involves a problem of burning bricks."

The problem Zixuan mentioned at this time must be a big problem, otherwise he would not have come to look for it.

"Oh? What's the problem?"

"The weather is very humid now, it is difficult to light firewood, and there is not enough firewood stock in the county at this time to meet its huge consumption, and the supply is no longer available.

We thought about getting help nearby.However, most of the places within a hundred miles are no longer inhabited, and there is not much stock of firewood.

We have also thought of many ways, but in the end it is difficult to solve it, and it is indeed impossible to continue.This matter directly affects the output of bricks, so the entire construction period may be delayed for three to five days. "

Bao Xin confirmed Zixuan's words.

"Yes, my lord, I also sent people to ask for help, but they were all hopeless, or the number of things found was very small."

Zhang Yi fell into thinking, this is a big event.It must be resolved!

It's spring now, and it's been raining for the past few days.There is a damp smell everywhere, so the firewood is damp and hard to light.

At the same time, there is no pre-stored firewood in the entire county.Most of what people keep for the winter is almost burned.And burning bricks consumes a lot of firewood.If this is the case, the ceramic bricks cannot be supplied, and the damage to the entire construction period will be huge.After all, that is one of the key steps.

This undoubtedly slowed down a lot of time. No matter how many people join in the construction, the materials cannot be supplied, and the result will still be the same. Therefore, he must find a way.

Use other materials instead?Or use soil instead of bricks? So, he asked:
"What if we use other materials instead? Or don't use any materials, just use soil for compaction? I want to know your opinion."

"Other materials are not impossible, but stones can be used instead, but where to find stones is another big problem, and the construction period is not much different from bricks. If you use soil directly for compaction, the firmness may be worse. If it encounters rain, it may need frequent maintenance. Of course, the defense will be weaker. If it encounters some attacks, it may not be able to last for too long."

This is not possible.

"That won't work, what should I do...firewood...fire..."

He urgently needed to build the city wall and ensure it was strong, when he suddenly saw Xiaolong beside him.

So I thought, if I use a rootless fire, maybe I can use a small amount of wood to ignite it, can it form a spreading trend?

You have to ask Xiaolong to know.

So he said to the two of them: "You guys go out first, I'll think about it for a while."

The two knew that thinking still needed a quiet environment, so they retreated, closed the door, and waited patiently outside the door.

After the two quit, Zhang Yi asked Xiaolong about it.

"Xiaolong, what will happen if the rootless fire touches a piece of wet firewood?"

"That piece of firewood will burn out."

"That is to say, it can spread?"

"Yes! As much firewood as there is, the fire will grow until it goes out for 7 days and 7 nights."

If this is the case, no matter how wet the firewood is, it can be ignited, and with its high temperature characteristics, it may be possible to create more powerful bricks!Just try it!
You must know that fire is a rootless fire, so powerful, everything that Xiaolong takes is powerful.

Unexpectedly, the rootless fire has not yet attacked the enemy, and it was first used as a defense to burn bricks. It is said that it is overkill, but it is not.

So, he opened the door and walked out.

"Bao Xin, Zixuan, follow me to the brick kiln! Let me settle this matter!"

Bao Xin and Zixuan were a little puzzled. It was only three sentences before and after, and Zhang Yi had already thought of a countermeasure.

But they didn't dare to disobey, so they had no choice but to respond and follow him.

But I must be uneasy in my heart, and at the same time wondering, what method will Zhang Yi use to solve it?

A group of three went to the brick kiln.

Qin bricks and Han tiles, the most remarkable role of Qin bricks was the construction of the Great Wall in the Qin Dynasty. It was a very powerful existence at that time, and it played a key role in defending the Great Wall from foreign enemies.

At this time, the Han Dynasty already had a lot of strength to burn bricks, so the scale of brick kilns was naturally not small.The degree of professionalism is naturally excellent, and the output is even more amazing, but because of the problem of firewood, the output cannot be raised directly.

The location of the brick kiln is under a soil slope, where there is a large amount of soil as raw material, which is very easy to obtain.Doing so will allow the deadline to be guaranteed.

A large number of craftsmen stood in front of the brick kiln. They looked at the brick kiln and kept sighing.You can see they're having trouble.Every point lost in this massive shutdown is efficiency.

It can still be seen that many brick kilns are emitting thick smoke.This is a sign of insufficient combustion.

That kind of burning intensity just breaks things.Insufficient combustion may prolong the construction period, or the finished bricks may not be as expected, that is, the quality is not good.If the quality is not good, then the fired bricks are also a waste of time.Because it has to be muddy and burned again, everything else is scrapped.

When a large group of people were standing helplessly outside the brick kiln, Zhang Yi appeared with Bao Xin and Zixuan.They appeared with an army of hundreds.

Some people have discovered their existence from a long distance.

And shouted wildly: "Look! It's the general! Why is he here?"

Everyone's eyes were attracted to the three of them, and some people discovered where Zixuan was.

"And Zixuan, did he bring the general here?"

"It's useless for the general to come here. A clever woman can't cook without rice! I'm afraid the problem of firewood will not be solved, and the construction period may not be guaranteed!"

"No, I thought it could be built quickly, but I didn't expect this to happen suddenly. It's a bad time!"

"Let's see how the general solves this problem. Maybe he has a way."

"Can there be any way? Does he have us to understand this brick kiln?"

Everyone is actually not optimistic about Zhang Yi, even if he is the leader of this army, so what?The problem is there, unless the weather gets better and the sun shines, maybe the firewood can be dried, and then it will be on schedule.Otherwise, still have to wait.But when he comes, everyone has to welcome him, after all, he is the boss!
A group of people waited and immediately gathered around.
