"Your Majesty, do you think this can be done?"
In the world of riding and cutting, Hu San came to the waiting Zhang Qi and asked, holding a new plow with a steel reinforced joint between the plowshare and the plow frame.
Hearing the sound, Zhang Qi saw that all the focus points of the plow were reinforced with steel and wrapped in iron sheets.
"It needs to be tested. Find a piece of land with lots of rocks. Use a plow to turn over the soil. If it can hold up without breaking, then let's fight a hundred times like this."
Checking the concrete blocks on the ground, Zhang Qi said softly.
Hu San nodded and handed it to Hu Jiu who was standing aside.
She is usually responsible for things like this.
Hu Jiu left with the plow, and Zhang used a small hammer to hit the concrete blocks on the ground that had hardened for nearly a week.
Concrete mixed with cement, river sand, and cobblestones was placed in a wooden box. He made it when he came here a few days ago in order to test the hardening and solidity of the concrete.
The small hammer hit the concrete block mercilessly, making a clanging sound.
Zhang Qi rubbed his numb hands and smiled with satisfaction. Under such knocking, only the surface of the concrete block peeled off, and a small pit appeared, revealing a cross-section of a pebble. There were no cracks on the main body. .
"It works."
Zhang Qi laughed out loud and turned his head to look at the other concrete blocks on the side.
This is the fifth piece he has smashed. The ones in front are more or less cracked. He does not have a specific formula for qualified cement, so he can only let the craftsmen test it again and again. Finally, he got five different ones. The proportion of cement ingredients.
In fact, the cement used in the first few concrete blocks can also be used in this era. At least it can be used as an adhesive without any problems.
"Hu Ling, sort out the cement formula for No. 5 concrete and give it to me. I want to take it away."
Hu Ling, who was standing by Zhang Qi's side, nodded when she heard this.
Any project in the world of riding and slashing has experimental data. As long as this formula is followed, Zhang Qi can reproduce the cement he wants in the outside world.
Looking at Hu Ling's retreating figure, Zhang Qi touched his chin: "It's time to take some kids out. I really can't trust outsiders with a recipe like this."
The thirty days they waited for Hui and the others to arrive at the Xianbei Royal Court were two years for the world of cavalry. In these two years, the eldest Hu Ling was already nineteen years old.
Nineteen years old, in this era, he can already take charge of the family, so Zhang Qi thought about it and decided to take a few people out.
Hu Er was sure that his injury had been cured long ago, but since there was no war outside, Zhang Qi simply let him continue training here. After all, he could still develop, and the growth he could gain by staying here was the greatest.
And Hu Er did not disappoint Zhang Qi. I don’t know if it is because of the special nature of the world of riding and slashing. The eighteen-year-old Hu Er is already over 1.8 meters tall, which is a head taller than Zhang Qi. With that With his burly figure, he is the makings of a fierce general wherever he is placed.
Hu Ling still has to wait. She has always been the image of a big sister in the hearts of these wolf cubs. The wolf cubs are used to her discipline. In addition, the second batch of children are only eleven or twelve years old now, and they still need to continue to work on it. Hu Ling was familiar with ideological construction, and Zhang Qi couldn't find a replacement for her for a while.
Just as he was thinking about it, Hu Jiu came back in a hurry on horseback.
"Your Majesty, it has been tested and there is nothing wrong with the new plow."
Looking at Hu Jiu with sweat on his forehead, Zhang Qi smiled: "It's just you."
"ah?"
Hu Jiu made a confused sound.
"It's nothing. If Xinli can do it, then go and tell Hu San. In addition, you and Shisan are ready. I will take you two out to build the cement workshop."
Hearing Zhang Qi's words, Hu Jiu was stunned. Get out? ! Did she hear it correctly? Your Majesty just said that you would take them out?
"Great! I can help you outside!"
Hu Jiu waved his fist excitedly. For wolf cubs like them, being able to embody value by Zhang Qi's side is the highest ideal in life, and today, the opportunity finally came.
"Yes! Your Majesty, I'll go get ready right now."
Hu Jiu ran away happily, and Zhang Qi nodded in a funny and very satisfied manner. To be honest, he felt very happy that these brats could perform like this.
Not long after, Hu Jiu came over with a sweaty Thirteen, "Your Majesty, Third Brother has informed him that the workshop is now fully engaged in producing new plows. I also brought Thirteen here, hehe."
Perhaps the news of being able to go out was so joyful that Hu Jiu became a lot more playful.
Zhang Qi nodded: "Well, we'll leave when Hu Er comes."
——
outside world.
The figures of Zhang Qi and four others appeared in the royal yurt.
He stayed in the world of riding and cutting for about a day, and an hour passed in the outside world.
The familiar temperature and familiar smell reminded Hu Jiu San and two of them of their childhood. The pain buried deep in their memories made them unable to calm down for a long time.
Fortunately, the few good years in the world of riding and cutting have allowed them to recover a lot.
The two looked at each other, knelt down in front of Zhang Qi, and said with their heads on the ground: "Thank you for your kindness!"
Zhang Qi smiled and helped the two of them up: "Just do your job well."
Hu Er on the side scratched his head in confusion. When he saw both of them kneeling down, he also knelt down and smiled.
"Why are you joining in the fun?" Zhang Qi scolded Hu Er angrily, earning a few more silly laughs.
Ignoring him and asking a few people to get up, Zhang Qi shouted to the outside of the yurt: "Here comes someone!"
Two female soldiers walked in and bowed: "Your Majesty!"
Zhang Qi waved his hand, pointed at Hu Jiu San and said: "Take them to Hui's place and tell Hui that I want to build a new workshop. The two of them are in charge. We will try our best to supply the people and materials needed."
"Deploy another group of two female soldiers to obey his orders for the time being."
The female soldiers accepted the promise with their hands, and then glanced curiously at Hu Jiu and Shisan, who were obviously young.
Zhang Qi waved his hand and asked Hu Jiu San and the other two to follow the female soldiers and leave. Then he looked at the writing on the blackboard that had been delivered to him during the hour he left.
The things were not big things, just some trivial matters in the royal court. This herdsman had a conflict with that herdsman, the two sides fought, and one was arrested by the Department of Justice.
The post of Director of the Department of Justice, appointed yesterday, has started work today. I have to say that Bo's efficiency is still very high.
On the other side are some statistical quantities of materials.
Among them, cattle and sheep are the best to count. Just ask the Xianbei herdsmen to take a few glances and you can get a pretty good estimate.
Counting Zhang Qi's own nearly 100,000 cattle and sheep, and after capturing various Xianbei tribes, Zhang Qi now has nearly 300,000 cattle and sheep under his command.
If it weren't for the abundant forage in Xianbei and the fact that spring was about to begin, Hui would definitely have a headache.
Due to work reasons, I will only have two chapters today, sorry.
