As for these costs reflected on those prisoners or reform-through-labor prisoners, the way of expression is to make these people's lives extremely fulfilling in the next few years or even ten years.

I hope that their brothers in Danyang and other counties in Jiangdong will be willing to take the initiative to share some of their work. Otherwise, when Zhang Yan takes his hand, he will "persuade" these people to make a decision as soon as possible.

Amen.

……

I mean, seriously.

All in all, all daily affairs in Lujiang are moving forward steadily, regardless of whether Zhang Yan is present or not.

The army is getting better little by little, and the population is increasing little by little.

The Huainan Industrial Zone is rising from the ground under the busyness of everyone, and the construction of the Anhui-Huai Expressway has also been truly implemented from the paper plan.

As for the cement avenue or asphalt avenue of a higher level, we have to wait for Zhang Yan to point out the relevant technology.

Things like roads and bridges are century-old projects, and Zhang Yan can completely update them slowly in the future, and there is no need to rush and aim too high.

In addition, at the end of the Han Dynasty when locomotives had not yet appeared, roads of the level of post roads were enough for people to use.

No matter how much investment is made, it is just an IQ tax. It cannot be said that it is completely meaningless, but the meaning is really small and unnecessary.

In this way, with Lu Su's help, Zhang Yan can finally spare time to concentrate on doing things that only he can do.

For example, right now, he appeared near the Science and Technology Division opposite the Wancheng Government Office, and in front of the gate of the Science and Technology Division, and at the gate, Ma Jun and Wei Xian, one long and one young, were already standing there I have been waiting for him for a long time.

……

"My lord..."

"Lord!"

……

The two bowed their hands to Zhang Yan one after the other, greeted him, and welcomed him in from the door.

As for Zhang Yan, he also responded with a smile to the two of them.

It can be seen from their faces that whether it is Zhang Yan, Wei Xian, or Ma Jun, there is a hint of eagerness in their expressions at the moment.

Chapter 38 Cement

It is now the spring of 189 AD, and it has been more than two months since Ma Jun left Lujiang, and he has already returned.

I don't know if it's because of the new year, but after he returned from his hometown in Guanzhong, he became a little excited, and there was a hint of joy in every move.

In this regard, after Zhang Yan inquired about it, he realized that the relationship between Ma Jun's family and him had obviously eased after he returned home this time, which made some young Ma Jun feel a little Uncontrollable joy.

The improvement of the relationship with his parents and the willingness of his parents to listen to and even accept his choice are very memorable events for this big boy who has always been a little silent. progress.

Such a result not only gave Ma Jun a lot of spiritual encouragement, but also made his work efficiency significantly higher in his daily work.

When Zhang Yan came here today, he also made an appointment with Ma Jun and Wei Xian in advance.From his own mansion to this kind of place, Zhang Yan naturally didn't want to say something about his work attitude.

After all, he is not the kind of leader of later generations, and he will not be so boring.

The reason why Zhang Yan went to the Lujiang Science and Technology Department today and called Wei Xian along the way was because of another very important matter.

Although Wei Xian and Ma Jun are also very important, there is no doubt that they are not the protagonists today.

That's right, after leaving all his affairs to Lu Su, Zhang Yan, who hadn't seen him for a long time, finally had the time to come up with some "black technology" suitable for Lujiang now.

……

"How about it, Deheng, you should have prepared all the things I asked you to prepare a few days ago?"

……

"There is also Wei Xian on your side. Although it is not your home game today, there are some professional things later. It really needs you to give an evaluation to be considered reliable."

"Did you bring all the utensils that are commonly used in daily life?"

……

Smiling, he said to the two people beside him, while Zhang Yan was walking in front, he turned his head to look at the two figures beside him.

And Ma Jun and others naturally nodded, and said:

"Of course it's ready!"

"It's just some white pebbles, clay and crushed iron ore. These things are very common in Lujiang, and it doesn't take much effort to prepare them."

"As for the mud kiln and charcoal you mentioned, my lord, I have already started preparations a few days ago, and I am waiting for you to come and perform today."

Some excitedly said to Zhang Yan, at this moment it can be clearly seen that there is still a trace of excitement on Ma Jun's face.

This excitement naturally came from what Zhang Yan told him before, that he had to use a few simple materials to produce a very easy and special building material.

According to Zhang Yan, this kind of building material is extremely simple to use, as long as some cobblestones can be seen everywhere, and a small amount of clay and gypsum for mixing materials, it can be produced quickly and in large quantities.

And if what Zhang Yan said is true, this kind of building material is just like the noble status of green bricks and green tiles in the history of Chinese architecture, and it will have a huge and unshakable impact on the entire Lujiang River and even the future construction industry of China.

There is naturally a reason for calling this material a "black technology".

……

"My lord, it's just hammers, hammers and other things, and I have preparations here."

……

On the other side, Wei Xian also nodded to Zhang Yan with a sullen face, then shut up and followed behind him without speaking.

"Are you all ready?"

"Hehe...then let's begin!"

Glancing at the two of them with a smile, Zhang Yan walked into the backyard of the Science and Technology Department, and saw a clay kiln as tall as a person in the first glance, and walked towards the place to take it out in satisfaction.

And Ma Jun and Wei Xian looked at each other, then quietly followed behind Zhang Yan.

Yes, just like what I said just now, Zhang Yan took time out today to make an appointment with Ma Jun and Wei Xian. The technology that Ma Jun and Wei Xian want to realize is a kind of building material made of cobblestone.

I believe that many people have already seen that this raw material is none other than cement, which is as common as bricks and is well-known in later generations.

To be honest, cement is actually a very good building material. Compared with ordinary stone, it is not only easy to transport, strong enough and easy to shape, but also can be mixed with some coarse materials and aggregates to make concrete and the like. Very good building materials.

Ye Shuo Junyang: 2

Of course, in a sense, it can also be said that cement itself is a kind of hard inorganic cementitious material, and it can be combined with various ingredients to exert different properties, which is the due destiny of cement itself.

Regardless of whether it is from the perspective of production costs, the role of cement itself, or its acceleration effect on wonders, ordinary buildings, and large-scale infrastructure projects, when Zhang Yan just came to this world, or just obtained the related plug-ins for the wonders, he This kind of material should be reproduced in the first time.

It's just a pity that Zhang Yan has never been able to find the opportunity to bring this "architecture miracle" to the construction site at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty because he has been busy with countless affairs such as the army and people's livelihood.

There is no doubt that this kind of thing will be of great help to Zhang Yan's future planning, and even the development of the entire Lujiang River, and it will definitely have a positive meaning.

Now that he has left all the military matters at hand to Lu Su, Zhang Yan finally has time to try to manufacture and apply cement on a large scale.

Cement can be used to build roads and bridges to make the originally rough and bumpy roads spacious and smooth.

Cement can be used to build houses, making the originally complicated and unspeakable construction quick and convenient.

Cement can also be used in the construction of wonders, which makes the process of building wonders, which was originally difficult, easier.

What made Zhang Yan determined to reproduce the cement was not because of the ice, but because of the third wonder that he was about to build now—the Rome that surrounded the former ancient Roman city layer by layer, extending in all directions like an underground labyrinth. waterway.

When he came to Zhouzhou a few days ago, Zhang Yan thought about what kind of spectacle is most suitable for him to invest a lot of energy and cost in the construction of the current Lujiang River.

Is it a solemn school?Tall buildings or beautiful pavilions?

neither.

What is most suitable for the development of Lujiang now is naturally the infrastructure and public facilities that can save the living standards of the entire Lujiang people in the first place.

That is to say, after thinking about this point, Zhang Yan officially identified the third wonder building he built after he came to the Eastern Han Dynasty, and the second wonder building he built after he came to Lujiang, as the Roman waterway. It has become a giant building that symbolizes the civilization of the whole European world.

Even though it is purple and epic, in order to prevent the farmland he reclaimed last year from degrading into wasteland during the rainy season, Zhang Yan is not afraid of the difficulty of its construction.

You can also try the purple epic wonder.

Chapter 39 Big, Too Big

As the saying goes, you don’t have to eat, you don’t have to drink, you don’t have to sleep, you don’t have to answer your girlfriend’s phone calls, but the construction of the spectacle must not stop.

Anyway, being idle during this period of time is also idle, so Zhang Yan simply focused on the wonder construction work that had not been advanced for a long time.

Up to now, a large number of mature workers have been sent to various places in Lujiang, either building roads in Wancheng, or building blast furnaces in Huainan, and they are all busy.

But the manpower on Wei Xian's side has not decreased compared to when he first arrived in Lujiang, on the contrary, it has increased a little.

After all, there is no way, the big man's life has not been very good in the past two years.

Although there is a spectacle in the Gyeonggi area of ​​the capital, the severe drought in the Jianghuai River and the flood in North China have caused countless people to be displaced.

They had to leave the land where they lived when they were young, and struggled to live in some relatively affluent places.

If the vicinity of Hetao, where Luoyang is located, is regarded as the main destination of population migration in North China, the eyes of the people in Yangzhou and even half of Jingzhou affected by the drought will undoubtedly fall on Lujiang, which is silent, but there is no Wherever news of any calamity comes out.

As of the spring of 189 A.D., the Lujiang Civil Affairs Department was still able to receive reports from the following counties and countries of a large number of people moving in from time to time.

These displaced refugees have no land and no property. For example, Wei Xian employs a large number of people, and jobs that provide food, housing, and money have become their first choice.

Getting back to the topic, after Zhang Yan returned to Lujiang this time, he immediately called Wei Xian and handed over the architectural blueprint of the spectacle he had chosen to him.

This blueprint is exactly the purple epic wonder that he and the system purchased at the front end, and it is also the first epic wonder that he officially ordered: "Roman Waterway".

It has to be said that there is still a big difference between epic-level wonders and "small" buildings such as the Great Library and the Venetian Armory.

At the very least, after Wei Xian took over the blueprint from Zhang Yan and briefly flipped through it, his face became extremely ugly.

……

"Big, too big."

……

Zhang Yan still remembers until now that after Wei Xian finished reading the content of the drawing, he kept repeating this sentence without saying anything, and kept shaking his head at himself, looking helpless.

Seeing the other party like this, after Zhang Yan hesitated for a while, he touched it from his arms, and handed the remaining two blueprints to Wei Xian.

"Ah, why don't you look at this again?"

"Wei Xian, the one you took just now is the architectural blueprint of the Maxima Sewer, which is the part of the sewer system in the city. Together with the field system and the sewer hub, these three add up to a complete spectacle... "
