Three Kingdoms, at the beginning of the game, recognize the thief as the father, hit the spectacle,

Taking a deep breath silently, Zhang Yan's mood suddenly became relaxed.

……

Without him, in the era of the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, no matter the size of the house, the layout, or the cost, there is a very obvious problem, that is, it is not good at all in terms of airtightness.

In fact, until the end of the Qing Dynasty, in the Huaxia region, the windows of most common people's homes were covered with paper.

This kind of thing is convenient to repair, but when it comes to thermal insulation performance, not to mention that it has no effect, at least it can be said that it is better than nothing.

I believe that many people have seen the kind of small advertisement on the Internet, that is, a cold wind blows through the twelfth lunar month, and the wind and snow break through the paper windows and pour into the room, making the scholars in the room shiver or something...

Although these advertisements have undergone certain artistic treatment, in the past, especially in China during the Qin and Han Dynasties, in a sense, they were also a portrayal of the real life of the people.

……

To put it mildly, these are the white rice in people's lives, mosquito blood, novels, movies, and even any kind of cultural records are unwilling to mention things.

Because he's really...not a good thing.

But these things do exist.

Last winter, out of a population of less than one million in Lujiang, dozens of families still died of hunger and cold due to the cold winter.

Even if Zhang Yan has tried his best to guarantee the basic living standards of the people... But the level of technology is limited here, and he has no good solution.

According to his original idea, the total population of Lujiang River has jumped to one million this year, so it is not certain that after some time in winter, there may be a little more people who will be frozen to death than last year...

But now, since there is "glass", an artifact that protects against wind and cold, and can even keep warm...

Zhang Yan suddenly became a little more confident about the upcoming winter in Lujiang this year.

……

"Hurry up, send a letter to Wei Xian and tell him that the construction progress of other factories can be slowed down in the past two months, but the progress of this glass factory must be brought up as soon as possible. This prefect will be of great use!"

"What, what is glass, you ask?"

"nothing……"

"You just tell Wei Xian that it was my order, which is very important, so he must not neglect it!"

……

Smiling and instructing the waiter at the side, Zhang Yan had already begun to silently calculate in his heart how much glass he could produce in Lujiang by the end of the twelfth lunar month of this year.

With these things, he can replace the paper windows of most people's homes in Lujiang with glass, so that even families that don't have much money to buy charcoal fire will not lose their lives in the cold wind at night .

As for the difficulty and cost of popularizing such things in large quantities...

For Zhang Yan, this is actually a trivial matter.

With his reputation in Lujiang, it is not too easy to promote some new gadgets that are beneficial to people's lives.Moreover, these costs are not much for Zhang Yan, but they will greatly improve the living standards of the people.

It's clearly well worth it.

……

In addition, glass is a shiny, crystal-clear material. Presumably, the vast majority of people would not mind replacing their windows with such a new thing that can see clearly.

Especially since this replacement is paid for by the government, and in most cases free.

……

In this way, two factories that played a major role in the future development of Lujiang, one before the other, quickly appeared on the land of Lujiang under the promotion of the government after today.

At the same time, with many factories of various kinds settling in the Huainan Industrial Zone, many small shops that were originally located in Anhui City were also spontaneously integrated by some large shops, making Lujiang a formal city in terms of industrial production. From the "family workshop" type of production to the factory-like centralized production mode.

At least, this is especially true in heavy industries such as smelting and foundry.

In this process, many contradictions naturally appeared, and many problems broke out.

But fortunately, since the government structure of Lujiang had been restructured many times before, after discovering these contradictions, these officials resolved them as quickly as possible, and found a way to make the transformation more stable. Also a gentler way to proceed.

Perhaps this kind of transformation cannot be completed in a day or two, but if we talk about the beginning, later generations of Lujiang people will definitely say with confidence that the first industrial transformation in Lujiang began on the day when the Huainan Industrial Zone was officially completed. started.

……

In addition to these, the last reward that the system provided to Zhang Yan, the "junior" chemical factory, was far from the first two rewards, and did not cause any disturbance in Lujiang.

Even many Lujiang officials did not know when Zhang Yan promoted the third type of factories in Lujiang.

Regarding this point, Zhang Yan was naturally very helpless.

……

It's not that he doesn't want to make good use of this rudimentary chemical factory.

You know, whether it is primary chemical products such as soap, oil wax, or those three acids and one alkali, they are all very useful to Lujiang.

It's just a pity that no matter what kind of chemical production mode it is, the host, that is, Zhang Yan himself must provide the synthetic production formula and process.

With the current conditions in Lujiang...

It seems that there is only one product that he can provide for mass production in chemical plants.

……

That is cement.

……

The firing of cement, and the process of cement crystallization in the later stage, are barely recognized by the system as a chemical change, and included in the production process of chemical plants.

Until a few years later, when Zhang Yan introduced systematic chemistry into the education system of Lujiang for the first time, the chemical factories in various parts of Lujiang... all existed as cement factories.

Moreover, these cement factories continuously provided Lujiang with a large amount of high-quality cement. Together with the steel bar factory not far from next door, they built the world's greatest road traffic network miracle at the end of the second century AD.

……

Chapter 69 Meanwhile, On the Other Side

On the land of Lujiang, all these preparations are in full swing.

Meanwhile, on the other side...

The general attack launched by Lujiang against Shanyue has also entered the final finishing stage.

……

In the early days of the war, the Lujiang three-way armies advanced side by side. Although it was not smooth sailing, they managed to defeat several Shanyue troops who were harassing and blocking them along the way.

Masi, the third Lujiang soldier on the center line, even fought several battles with Shanyue's main force, beheading a large number of Shanyue soldiers.

As the war progressed, the Lujiang side's army launched battles with Shanyue's side in Wuhu and Wanling successively. Not only did they defeat a large number of Shanyue's main forces in the process, Yang Feng, Li Le and others even joined forces in Wanling. In one place, a large force of 7 people was defeated, and the leaders of this Shanyue group were "captured".

Up to now, after Zhang Yan returned with thousands of people, Pei Yuanshao and Lu Suyi together also took the remaining 7000 soldiers to the east according to the original plan, blocking Shanyue's headquarters in Jing County. On the road to the south...

Pei Yuanshao and Zhou Cang are in the south;

Li Le and Hu Cai are in the west;

Yang Feng and Han Siam are in the north.

Unknowingly, the army on the side of the Lujiang River had already surrounded Jing County in three directions, and almost completely cut off all the main roads leading to the outside world in Jing County.

This is a standard trend of encircling three and missing one.

Almost everyone can see that the next move on the Lujiang River is to advance in three ways, take down Jingxian County completely, and at the same time completely eradicate Shanyue, a force that has caused headaches for countless Han people, from the Jiangdong area. .

It is under such external pressure and cognition that many Shanyue members who were quite confident at first began to gradually become slippery in their minds.

……

"Hey, kid, wake up, it's time to eat!"

……

At noon, the sun hung high in the sky, bringing an unspeakably sultry heat to the weather in Jing County.

Many Shanyue soldiers took off their armor, only wearing bunts, and lived in groups near the base of the city wall to enjoy the cool.

Even after the consumption of the previous battles, Shanyue still has enough soldiers to defend the city of Jing County.

Even after the Shanyue Army from all over the Jiangdong... their respective leaders were arrested or simply died on the battlefield, Zu Lang ordered the integration of those remnants, making his direct forces much stronger than before the war.

……

Today's Shanyue side has more than 4 people stationed in Jing County.

This is not the case of soldiers stationed outside the city near Wanling, but a total of 4 people are stationed inside the city, waiting for the Lujiang army to approach with the posture of defending the city.

According to the Art of War, with ten siege and one, if you want to take Jing County under the guard of 40 troops, you must have at least [-] to [-] troops on the Lujiang River to have any hope...

And in the mountainous area outside the city, there is also a secret camp, which holds a large number of prisoners from the mountainous side.

Among these prisoners, a young boy in a light-colored robe with an immature but dirty face was leaning against the wall and sleeping soundly.

Under the shouts of the guards outside the prison, he slowly opened his eyes.

……

"Hey, boy! Wake up!"

"You shouldn't be fainted by the sun!!"

……

The muffled voice in his ears became louder again. Liu Xie opened his eyes, and immediately saw a tall middle-aged woman in a leather jacket looking at him warily.

Different from the Han people's view that thinness is beauty, whiteness is beauty, and weakness is beauty, the middle-aged woman in front of Liu Xie has obvious muscular lines and a sense of strength, just like a female cheetah. There was a sense of danger all over the place.

For some reason, a few days ago, the Shanyue soldiers who were ordered to guard Liu Xie and the others suddenly changed a group of people.

Those young men from before seemed to have been transferred to the city by the leader of the opponent, and I don't know what was arranged.

Instead, these women are now guarding them.

Using women as guards for his group of people... Liu Xie can only guess that it should be his fiancée Fushou who arrived in Lujiang smoothly, and contacted Zhang Yan, the adopted son of the great eunuch Zhang Rang.

The reason why the leader of Shanyue transferred all the men away is probably because he was defeated in the previous battle with Zhang Yan, and his troops suffered a lot of losses...

Otherwise, there would be absolutely no such thing as letting women serve as guards and detaining them.

"Um...thank you, I'm just a little... a little dizzy, just take a rest."

Cautiously looking around, Liu Xie relaxed slightly after seeing the face of the woman who woke him up, but there was always a sneaky look in every move.
