"It's actually just a layer of window paper. When the craftsmen built Shuofang City, they discovered that if the entire city wall was poured with cement, the construction speed would be faster, but waiting for the cement to solidify would be really troublesome. very!"
"Why can't I understand what you are saying?"
Liu Qi was different from other emperors. Not to mention other things, his academic attitude was much better than those emperors in later generations who pretended not to understand.
"Cement is certainly good, but when it is used to build a city wall, it needs to be poured in sections. Only when the lower layer solidifies can the upper layer continue! So, they thought of a way this time. Pour the cement into blocks, and then, when the location is reached, build these cement blocks and fix them with a new layer of cement beams and columns!"
Liu Deng was speaking and gesticulating with his hands. After hearing what he said, the emperor suddenly seemed to understand.
"If you do this, can you make the middle layer thinner? Will the curing time be shortened?"
"Your Majesty is wise!"
Sure enough, it was clear at one point, and now the emperor finally understood.
"It's just that if this happens, won't it increase a lot of transportation costs on the road? In the spring, it will be difficult to travel in the mud on this grassland. You have enough livestock..."
In the middle of saying this, King Liang wanted to slap a slap in his face.
Maybe this problem is indeed a problem for others, but is it a problem for this kid?
Shuofang was already within his sphere of influence, and after this battle, the Huns no longer dared to go south.
The entire area around Shuofang City is probably marked by this kid.
The indicator given to him by the emperor was to build three new cities, but would this guy be so honest and only build three?
For other princes and kings, building cities is a costly job.
But for Liu Deng, when has this kid ever lost money?
For those new cities in his country, this kid didn't pay a penny but still made a lot of money. Not only did he get a few cities for nothing, but he also earned a damn good reputation.
And until now, King Liang didn't understand what his tricks were all about.
It seems that everyone is contributing money and effort, but in the end all the benefits are taken by him, but those people are grateful to him one by one. They are obviously betrayed by this kid, but everyone is still counting for him. money.
This kind of thing really puzzled King Liang. If it weren't for the fact that he couldn't pull off this face, he would have dragged Liu Deng aside for interrogation.
And let’s talk about livestock, does this matter to this kid?
Just the number of cattle and sheep he captured from the grassland was already the total number in the past few decades.
The Huns raised their troops to attack aggressively, but in the end they all made wedding clothes for this boy.
Although the army had been searching the grassland day and night for more than half a month, according to King Liang, there were at least hundreds of thousands of cattle and sheep scattered on the grassland.
Needless to say, these things must have been cheap for this kid in the end, and only the country of Dai can provide a large amount of food and feed to feed those cattle and sheep.
Liu Deng did send him a large number of veterans to guide the people of Liang State in planting potatoes, sweet potatoes and corn.
He also specially selected a few of them and called them to Chang'an, where he explained in detail the advantages of these things and the methods of planting them.
Each of the three new crops Liu Deng created is a treasure.
Needless to say, the food grown can be eaten. The remaining things, whether they are sweet potato vines, corn stalks, or potato seedlings, are all excellent feed.
Both cattle, horses and sheep can be eaten, and all three crops are high-yielding crops.
In addition to the fact that corn is a bit reluctant to part with, potatoes and sweet potatoes are also good choices for feeding livestock.
Because the output of this thing is so high, if it weren't for the war in Lingnan this year, there would really be no other place where this thing could swallow so much food except for feeding livestock.
Others didn't know it, but he knew it very well. Liu Deng organized nearly 10,000 oxcarts and drove them back and forth from Jinyang to South Vietnam day and night.
Although the journey along the way is indeed long and a lot of consumption is consumed on the way, the amount of food transported definitely makes all the princes and kings secretly frightened!
Why is Yuan An having such a miserable time in Chang'an City at this time?
Isn't it because Yuan An, a boy who drank too much one night, casually said something nonsense: Your Highness, King Dai, has enough troops and food. If he was born in troubled times, he would be able to take over the world.
Although this is a heart-breaking statement, countless pairs of eyes are staring at him. If Liu Deng is so evil, can he really not do this?
With his current strength, if he really wants to sit on that chair, is there really no chance at all?
It was because Liu Deng, this kid, had been hiding around every day since the war, and doing all sorts of things, that made the emperor feel more at ease with him. Otherwise, which emperor in the world would be able to tolerate him? Got him...
When other princes and kings had money, they all saved it, either exchanging it for food or weapons, building academies, or building big ships!
It is said that the money brought back from Lingnan was taken directly to Buqi City without even entering Jinyang City.
I heard that because of this incident, even Feng Jing sent a special note from Jinyang City and asked the emperor to personally persuade Liu Deng not to throw all his money into the sea.
After all, if so much money was spent to build a big ship, if it capsized in the waves, wouldn't it be a waste of money?
After receiving this information, even Prince Liang secretly sent a lot of spies to Buqicheng.
According to the news coming back from there, if it weren't for the fact that those things contained elements of the eldest princess, even Prince Liang couldn't help but want to fight against the autumn wind.
Even the emperor probably didn't know how much money the Lingnan Three Kingdoms had.
Liu Deng, this kid, relied on his own efforts to plunder nearly 60% of the wealth of Lingnan people!
The most outrageous thing is that this boy actually brought all the craftsmen who were proficient in shipbuilding from the three South Vietnamese countries, as well as their families, back to Buqi City.
Moreover, a shipping bureau has been specially set up in Buqicheng. Together with the handymen and the employees of the merchants who cooperate with them, the number of people is close to 60,000 to 70,000!
After eating every day, he does nothing but concentrates on building a big ship...
Even if King Liang is not good at arithmetic, he still knows that the shipping bureau's annual expenses are absolutely astronomical.
