The First Happy King of Zhenguan in the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 210 On-site inspection?

However, Lao Yu didn't seem to realize this, and was still nagging: "As a marquis, I don't require you to be a gentleman, but you must be frank (frank), only frank (frank) You can lead by example, only if you are frank can more people accept you, and not only are you not frank... ".

Li Muyun suddenly discovered that accents can really kill people. Listening to Yu Zhining mouthful of tank eggs, he really couldn't imagine how bad it would be if all the tank eggs in the Tang Dynasty were full. Degenerate further?Let's be honest again?
Fortunately, at this time, Fatty Yu Jiyu joined in, and shouted from a distance: "Muyun, your cement is reconciled, what are you going to do next?"

Li Muyun waved his hand at Fatty, and then said to Zhi Ning: "Teacher Yu, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I still have something to do!"

"Well, go ahead, remember what the old man said!" Seeing so many people looking at him, Yu Zhining shook his head and said nothing more, and waved to Li Muyun.

"Hey!" Li Muyun left as if he had been granted an amnesty, leaving Tang Jian to continue discussing with Lao Yu how to be 'frank'.

When Li Muyun came to Fatty, a large amount of reconciled concrete had already been piled up in front of him, and Fatty looked at him winkingly: "Muyun, do you want to be frank?"

Li Muyun rolled his eyes, and shook his fist at the fat man: "I tell you, sir, hurry up and work for me, and pour all the reconciled concrete into the box over there."

"Hey..." The fat man smiled maliciously, and curled his lips in Zhi Ning's direction: "Mu Yun, what do you think that old lamp is thinking? Doesn't he know that he has an accent?"

"I told you not to waste time, work quickly." Li Muyun was too lazy to discuss this meaningless topic with the fat man, and only urged him to hurry up.

……

Concrete pouring is both simple and complex.

Simple means that you pour the finished concrete into a box, and then insert a few connected iron bars inside, basically it can be regarded as completing the task.

The complexity means that after you complete the simple tasks, you need to keep the concrete in a vibrating state, otherwise various irregular holes will be formed in it, which will affect its firmness.

Of course, this 'complex' problem has been well solved in modern times, and a thing called a vibrator can completely replace manpower and complete this work at an extremely fast speed.

However, in Datang, this job can only be done by manpower, and there must be no carelessness.

After Yu Zhining and Tang Jian chatted for a while, seeing that Li Muyun was basically done with their work, they walked up slowly.

According to Datang's standards, the two of them are nobles, and they are not at the same level as those mud legs who were mixing cement just now, so they all hid far away just now.

"Teacher Yu, Uncle Tang, why don't you two go to rest?" Li Muyun took the initiative to say hello when he saw the two of them approaching.

"Isn't this waiting to see your quick way to build a city? What, you still want to drive us away?" Tang Jian said.

"A way to quickly build a city?" Yu Zhining was stunned for a moment. Before that, he didn't know what Li Muyun and others were busy with. Now when he heard Tang Jian say it, he immediately looked at someone.

"Uh..." Facing Tang Jian's question, Li Muyun's face flashed with embarrassment: "There is a way to quickly build a city, but it will take seven days to see the results!"

"Seven days? Just such a small thing will take seven days?" Tang Jian suddenly felt cheated, pointing to the "wall" about one foot high and half a foot thick in front of him, his voice unconsciously raised an octave .

"Master Tang, this is called Huatan!" Fatty added recklessly.

Tang Jian glanced at the fat man angrily, ignored him, and still looked at Li Muyun, as if waiting for his explanation.

But Li Muyun was helpless at Tang Jian's 'ignorance', sighed and said: "Uncle Tang, this thing is a bit small, but it's just a test thing, you just saw it, from the outline to the present , It took no more than two hours, and only six people were used. According to this ratio, you can calculate, if I increase its height by ten times, how much investment will I have?"

After listening to Li Muyun's explanation, Tang Jian's face changed: "Ten times? You mean sixty people, two people can build a wall twenty feet long and one foot high within two hours?"

"This is just a theoretical figure. In fact, if the wall is really that high, it will not take 40 people, but [-] people will be enough." Li Muyun stretched out four fingers to compare.

"Seven days is the same?" Yu Zhining asked from the side.

"Yes, it's like waiting for seven days, but these seven days are not idle. If there are really bigger projects, such as building a city wall, the workers can continue to extend the wall the next day, as long as they wait until seven days later Just remove the wooden boards outside." Li Muyun spread his hands.

Don't think that the data Li Muyun just said is wrong. In fact, his calculations are not wrong. Six people built a small concrete flower bed, four people were in charge of mixing the cement, and two people were in charge of building the wooden frame.

And if the height of this small flower bed is increased by ten times, it will not be much more complicated than it is now, just increase the height of the wooden boards erected on both sides. Just planks.

Of course, this is also related to the fact that Datang did not have so many workmanship standards. For wall repairs, it only needs to be smoothed. As for whether the light is smooth or not, it is secondary.

But even so, Tang Jian and Yu Zhining were still frightened by his words, because if according to the standard he said, forty people can make a ten-foot-high wall in one day, and seven days is nothing. Seventy feet, if the number of people is increased ten times, it will be seven hundred feet.

Seven days for 400 people, oh no, it is the drying time of the last section of the wall, that is, [-] days, and a section of wall with a length of [-] feet and a height of [-] foot can be repaired. What kind of speed is this?

If this kind of wall can really reach the strength of a city wall, then... this is simply, simply unimaginable speed.

We must know that the construction of a city in the Tang Dynasty does not require tens of thousands of manpower, and it will take several years. If cement is really so easy to use, it is estimated that it will not even take a year to build a city. And there is no need to dispatch tens of thousands of manpower.

Thinking of this, Tang Jian couldn't wait until seven days later to check the firmness of Li Muyun's small flower bed. If he could really meet the standard he said, then he wouldn't go to Xue Yantuo himself, and go back to Chang'an directly!
Yu Zhining also couldn't believe his ears. Although he is a scholar, he doesn't know everything. This old man also knows what it means to Tang if a city is built quickly.

So the old man looked at the little flower bed that was still waiting to be unboxed, and his eyes were shining.

……

The words were divided into two parts, not talking about the little flower bed that was keeping in good health, but talking about the city of Xizhou after Lao Yu left.

Under the pressure of Lao Yu, the governor of Xizhou issued a death order to the county magistrate of Lan County below, no matter what the cost, to ensure the supply of iron ore in Shanyin County.

The county magistrate of Lan County naturally has nothing to do with this matter. Anyway, the ore dug out is sold to anyone. It is sold to Shanyin County because the transportation distance is short and the money is returned quickly. He is naturally happy to sell it out. .It's just that all of this is based on one foundation, that is, he must be able to dig out so much ore, if he can't dig out so much ore, it's all bullshit.

So after receiving the document from the government office asking him to at least double the amount of ore transported, and unlimited quantities for more, the county magistrate of Lan County almost didn't cry.In desperation, all the officials, big and small, such as the county magistrate, county lieutenant, Cangcao, Hucao, and Facao, were recruited together to study how to deal with the difficulties in front of them.

"Fujun, do you think this is reliable? Shanyin County is only so big, how can it be possible to eat so much ore? Will they sell it?" The first thing that comes to mind is smuggling.

"No, this time it was the Taiyuan Wang family who paid the money, and they bought the 100 million catties of ore. Although I don't know why they gave Li Muyun so much iron ore, Li Muyun would not dare to do so if he wanted to sell it. "The magistrate of Lan County shook his head and denied Fa Cao's inference.

"The government doesn't want to care about whether that Xiaoyaohou sold the ore or ate it. I brought you here to let you think about how to meet their requirements and increase the transportation volume." The county magistrate of Lan County knocked on the table, Interrupted the random guesswork of the subordinates.

"Your Majesty, there is only so much ore production at the moment. Excluding Shanyin County, we have to keep some for ourselves. In addition, there are supplies from other prefectures. It is impossible to double the transportation volume, unless we continue to invest Manpower to expand production capacity." Hu Cao, who had been silent all this time, said in a deep voice.

"It's easy to say, continue to invest in manpower, if the order of 100 million catties is completed, what will happen to the recruits? Continue to raise them or dismiss them all? What if there is a civil uprising?"

"Yeah, if we continue to buy iron ore in the future and can maintain the current consumption, we will have no problem expanding our production capacity. I'm afraid he won't use it anymore, so what should we do?"

"What should we do? Let's do it! Right now, Mr. Shijun has sent down the paperwork, we have to get it, otherwise Mr. Shijun will be unhappy, I'm afraid we will have to finish all the games!" The county magistrate of Lan county hummed Said with a loud voice.

The situation is stronger than others, Xiaoyaohou has a backer, and can be regarded as the largest related household in Hebei Road. Even if the county magistrate of Lan County is not satisfied, what can be done, and in the end the discussion has to expand production capacity.

However, for the sake of guaranteeing the limit, the magistrate of Lanxian County did not expand the production capacity too much, but recruited about 500 workers in the county, and then personally escorted a batch of ore to Shanyin County, in order to see that Does Xiaoyaohou have the strength to eat so much ore?
