"Go back and make it again for me. Get rid of all those weird and messy costumes. This helmet has two wings. What do you want to do? Go to heaven?!"
In a fit of anger, several blacksmiths dragged their armors and ran back to Shishan in a fit of piss as the Marquis scolded them, preparing to redesign a set of equipment that could catch Xiao Han's eyes.
It's a pity that the direction of efforts was wrong from the beginning, so when a set of more showy armor was placed in front of Xiao Han, Xiao Han didn't even think about cursing...
"Forget it, I'll do it myself. This thing is not for me to wear to show off..."
As Xiao Han's most important base camp, Shishan is now the most heavily guarded place. Iron spikes are hung on the high cement walls. They are deliberately not painted. The rusty sharp iron spikes scratch the thieves' skin. Tetanus is difficult!
The long cement wall almost encloses the entire Shishan, and the guards here are all the oldest auxiliary soldiers who follow Xiao Han.
The defense of the residence has now been completely taken over by the fifty newly arrived veterans. These people came after bargaining with Tang Jian last time. Now Xiao Han finally understands the hard work of Li Shimin and the others. His Sanyuan County is really peaceful. Already...
Except for a river and a rocky mountain that can't even be called a mountain, the entire fiefdom is completely without danger. That is, Xiao Han used cement to pull up a long high wall. If not only the security problem is enough to make Xiao Han eat a pot. !
At this time, the dog-headed general also retreated to Shishan with his pup. The residential area was very lively now. It is always not good for a large group of dogs to pester there. It has scared several people. Besides, there are no people there now. There is no need to defend yourself like that for something important.
The blast furnace designed by Xiao Han, supplemented by supervising experts, and finally modified by the blacksmith, has been built. Several mixed heating designs have made the temperature of the blast furnace reach a point where even cement cannot withstand it, and even stone has been burned to a crisp. , in the end, the supervisor came up with a way to use extremely fire-resistant clay to coat the inside of the blast furnace with a thick layer, so that it could be used normally.
Of course, the extremely high temperature brings extremely high-quality steel. Before the Tang Dynasty, all steel was made by steel-making, that is, hammering and hammering a piece of iron into steel!
It’s not that troublesome now. In this blast furnace, the impurities in the iron ore are directly extracted. As long as it is poured into the formwork on the ground, it is a piece of high-quality steel ingot. In this way, the efficiency will be increased by more than ten times?
As for the cement kiln that is most frequently used now, it is built next to the blast furnace. In fact, Xiao Han regrets building the cement kiln here...
Cement production and storage are prone to dust. Whenever a strong wind blows, the sky will be filled with dust. Xiao Han is afraid that people in the cement kiln will get pneumoconiosis, and everyone in the cement kiln is given a mask, so he is not allowed to work without a mask.
Because the cement kiln wages are very high from Xiao Han, in order to keep the wages, now whether you like it or not, you have to put on a mask made of several layers of cloth whenever you enter the cement kiln.
There are already many more people in Xiao Han's fiefdom than when he first came here. Especially since they heard that they can go to school for free here, many people have brought their families here and want to live in this land forever. Of course, these people Most of them were disappointed. Butler Lu who guarded this land was not wanted by everyone.
Anyone who doesn’t know the details will be rejected. Only those who are introduced by the old man Xiao here will be allowed in, and there is no distinction between houses. If you want a house, fine, you can spend your own money. Otherwise, it doesn’t matter if you have any special skills or special talents. No, Sorry, except for the elderly in the house, no one is divided into houses...
I know that Butler Lu is doing this for his own good, and showing excessive kindness will give rise to other thoughts. Only by contributing to this land and striving for it can people know how to cherish it!
Therefore, it has always been Xiao Han's creed to leave these things alone and leave the right things to the right people. For example, now, Guan Lu is in charge of the trivial affairs of the fiefdom, and Zhang Qiang is in charge of all kinds of external business contacts, and he, He is responsible for the important development here in Shishan. The three of them have their own duties, and all matters, big and small, are in order.
In addition, Xiao Han's Hou Mansion has strangely begun to be built. It is quite satisfactory, neither luxurious nor shabby. It is completely built on the scale of an ordinary Hou Mansion. I don't know why the Marquis suddenly changed his mind. Butler Lu came over and asked three times a day. , it was only after annoying Xiao Han that he was sure that the Marquis had really changed his mind this time, and not just on a whim.
Butler Lu was afraid that Xiao Han would get mad and build half of it first, and then tear it down if he was dissatisfied. Zhang Qiang told him in the past two days that something was wrong with Xiao Han, which made Butler Lu a little suspicious, so he went to find a Taoist priest. Come to drive away bad luck.
"Master Marquis, look, why do we need to allocate houses to the fifty newly arrived veterans? How about building the house here?" Butler Lu carefully held up the plan that had been modified countless times and showed it to Xiao Han. .
Xiao Han was sitting on the bench holding a piece of beetle and stabbing it back and forth with a knife. Hearing this, he put down the knife and wiped his hands on the clothes of the idiot next to him. Then he glanced at the drawing and said, "Okay, you and I Just discuss it with experienced craftsmen. No need to tell me, you are the experts on these things. It is no longer appropriate to have random imaginations some time ago..."
Speaking of this, Xiao Han thought of the craftsmen on the construction site again. Don't underestimate others at any time, even if this person is more than a thousand years behind you! Not to mention the industrial area on one side of the river, the living area on the other side now makes Xiao Han speechless!
I don’t know which genius craftsman came up with this idea. He tied bamboo strips into thick pipes and then wrapped them with cement. The cement pipes with a diameter of more than half a meter were made. They are now preparing to be buried underground. In the future, It is an important part of Zhuangzi's flood discharge!
Now that I remember it, let me ask, Xiao Han has not gone back to the living area these days. He has been staying here and racking his brains for these armors.
"How's the sewer system going last time? Are there any problems?"
"Um..." Steward Lu carefully folded the drawings and put them in his arms, and then said: "The sewers don't use cement pipes anymore. The main reason is that they are troublesome to make, and they are too heavy to carry. If someone is not careful, they will fall to the ground. It is also easy to break. Now they are digging trenches directly underground according to the design drawings, and then fixing them with stones and cement. Just add a cement board directly on top. Moreover, if the waterway is blocked, it will be much easier to repair. !”
Xiao Han nodded frequently when he heard this. There is always a shortage of smart people in this world. Even if he is made of iron, he can't drive a few nails. It was too stupid to interfere in everything before. At first, he laughed at Zhuge Liang for doing everything, but in the end he was still alive. I am exhausted. Now it seems that I am no different from others. However, if I put things down, things will be completed better!
"Okay, this is a good idea, but cement pipes are not useless. When conditions are available in the future, clean water can be sent to the fields through cement pipes. In this way, even in drought years, the fields will not be dry. Those who have made contributions will be rewarded, and those who have made mistakes will be rewarded. Only in this way can we win over people's hearts. Lao Lu, please give these two people some rewards, don't be too stingy..."
Butler Lu smiled happily when he heard this, and said repeatedly: "Master Hou had a good idea. Since the rise of cement sewers, the old man who made cement pipes has been depressed to death. Some of the cement pipes he made are placed somewhere. I saw him kicking them there for two days, and his feet were probably swollen. I will go back and tell him, Mr. Marquis, not only will you not blame him, but you will also give him a reward. The pile of cement pipes will also be used. I guess Laoqian tonight I can have a good night’s sleep too!”
Seeing Butler Lu's beaming expression, Xiao Han also smiled. He had been annoyed by the armor these days. Now it would be a good idea to listen to what happened in the village to relax his mind. Butler Lu also knew what the Marquis was thinking by observing his words, so he specially picked it up. Tell Xiao Han some interesting things about the banker.
Why, the Zhang family just bought two fat pigs and one of them escaped. The whole village helped to catch the pigs. The fat pig even threw the Zhang family’s wife into the river...
Another example is that boy who didn't finish his homework. The whole family was busy all night without any help. He overslept the next day and didn't go to school. His teacher came to scold him. It was all trivial, but Xiao Han was very happy when he heard it. taste.
Very good. Ever since Tang Jian took Xiao Han's step, Xiao Han decisively changed his original plan. Now it looks very good! Everything is moving towards a perfect place.
Tang Jian had to cover his head and leave early that day. Even though he sold a lot of wine, the stamina of the strong wine was still too much for him to resist.
Before leaving, Tang Jian hesitated for a long time, but in the end he fulfilled his duty as a friend and said to Xiao Han sincerely: The wind will destroy the trees that are beautiful in the forest. Since you have decided to keep a low profile, why not keep a low profile to the end? Being ignored by everyone is actually not a bad thing, but a kind of protection for geniuses.
Tang Jian said it sincerely, so Xiao Han naturally thanked him solemnly.
In fact, he has a restless temper and thinks that he can spread his thoughts freely when he comes to this place far away from Emperor Gao. However, in the context of this feudal society, Xiao Han's ideas are still naive.
Think about Galileo and Bruno, was it religion that killed them? In fact, it was their forward thinking that made them betray the world, even if they were right!
So after Xiao Han thanked Tang Jian, he immediately decided to follow the original rules of this world, not exceeding the rules or going too far.
Tang Jian greatly appreciated Xiao Han's good deeds, but he was a little strange that Xiao Han gave him a tips bag before leaving, and why he said he had to go to Jinyang to see it?
Naturally, Tang Jian did not go in and out of Zhao Zilong seven times, so as soon as he left Xiao Han's place, he immediately opened the bag of tips. Why go to Jinyang to unpack it again? Let's go and cool down!
It's just that he had picked up the tips bag countless times on the road, and he roughly knew that it contained a note. Tang Jian couldn't guess what Xiao Han would write on the paper. He was not Zhuge Liang...
