This scene, when it fell on other people's faces, made some people murmur.
Will the holy favor remain undiminished?
In this case, you can’t be beaten to death with a stick!
"Your Majesty, there is no problem with the upper part and the wall stacks. It's just that there is soil sealed inside and outside the city wall. It needs to be opened before it can be accepted. Please give me your Majesty's permission."
"Where is Zheng Xiong?"
Hearing this, the people near Zheng Xiong quickly moved out of the way.
He had already minimized his presence, but Lao Zhu's voice exposed him again.
Zheng Xiong replied bravely.
"I'm here."
"What does the soil wrapped outside do?"
"The masonry and soil blocks can block the filling inside and prevent it from leaking out. It also prevents the inside from losing moisture all at once and causing it to dry out and crack."
Nodding his head, Lao Zhu continued to ask.
"Can it be dismantled?"
"Okay, it's been so long, it should be almost done."
"Then dismantle it!"
If the king and his ministers play the right words, it is nothing.
But aren’t they here for accountability? What does your deliberation tone mean?
This situation is not right!
Hu Weiyong, the leader of the group, frowned first.
I just thought about it and couldn't figure out the result.
I can only wait quietly for things to develop.
The shoveling process was not smooth.
I originally thought it was just a layer of soil, but even though it was filled in, just use force.
Unexpectedly, it did not develop as expected.
It's fine outside, but it gets harder to shovel the closer you get to the inside.
Some of the oozing mud and water condensed on the soil layer, forming pimple-like things. If you dig hard, there will be another one underneath. No matter how hard you dig, you can't finish it.
After working on it for a long time, except for the outer layer, the progress on the inside was slow.
"Sir, what should I do? The outer layer is easy to clean, but cleaning the inside is too troublesome. At this rate, it won't be completed even after dark, let alone the acceptance inspection!"
The leader is not entangled, on the contrary, he is very courageous.
"First remove all the dirt on the outer layer that you can, and we'll talk about the inside later."
"Within an hour, clear this area out before considering the rest."
"yes."
From top to bottom, it is narrow at the top and wide at the bottom.
The same goes for accumulated dirt.
Just big enough for people to stand and work from above.
Dig a hole, jump to a lower place, and continue digging.
And so on.
It was just a short period of time, and we finally reached the end within the prescribed time.
At first glance, it doesn’t look pretty at all.
There are potholes and pits, and they are earthy and yellow.
Some people seemed to have some confidence again, which was given by the surface of the city wall.
"Your Majesty, the city wall is the gateway to our capital, and it also represents the face of our capital. It is inappropriate to have such pits."
Lao Zhu paid no attention to the person speaking.
Just looking down.
What you see is exactly what it says.
"Zheng Xiong, what's going on with this thing? Can you get rid of it?"
With no choice but to run, Zheng Xiong could only run closer to answer Lao Zhu's questions.
After squeezing Hu Weiyong away from Lao Zhu, Zheng Xiong replied.
"Yes, you just have to take some time to clean it up slowly."
"Why didn't you think of it before doing it? Now that you're doing it, isn't it a lot of work and a waste of money and food?"
Zheng Xiong smiled coquettishly, then looked at Hu Weiyong and said pointedly.
"Isn't this the urgency of the Zhongshu Province? The whole thing is a rush, so we can only finish it as soon as possible and simplify some steps. Fortunately, I have gained experience this time, so I won't do it again next time."
Hu Weiyong's face turned cold.
How long.
It seems like no one has scolded me for a long time!
If you dare to call yourself a devil, you should do it in person.
very good.
Successfully aroused his own anger.
Oops, Lao Zhu glanced at Zheng Xiong and then at Hu Weiyong, it was interesting.
"You don't have to worry about how the Zhongshu Province behaves. All I'm asking is, can you sort this out now?"
Zheng Xiong looked down and said.
"Rinse it with water and the surface can be cleaned. You can look carefully."
"Okay, sprinkle it with water!"
The water flows and the soil on the surface is quickly washed away.
The protruding cement thorns look slightly ferocious.
Some seeped out from the cracks of the bricks and stuck together with the adobe bricks below, forming mottled shapes.
The yellow of the adobe bricks and the gray of the cement interact, which looks quite messy.
Lao Zhu was dazzled.
Headache.
"If I clean these up for you, it will cost you a lot of money!"
Zheng Xiong calculated in his mind and replied.
"It's not bad. Based on 20 taels per person and a construction period of three days for 10,000 people, it's only 600 taels. If we round it up and find more people, it'll be about 1,000 taels or two days."
The corners of Lao Zhu's mouth twitched, as if he wanted to hit someone.
Are you talking human language?
I've never seen this thing in complete form.
He picked up a thousand taels and didn't feel bad at all.
Myself, hey, it’s okay not to say anything!
Anyway, everyone who heard this was silent.
The big dog owner is simply not the son of a man.
"Hu Weiyong, hurry up and arrange for someone to check. We are in a hurry."
Lao Zhu was very annoyed. The source of the money was clear. It was all his own money, but it never happened.
It turned out to be Zheng Xiong's heartbreaking weapon.
It always hurts to spend your own money.
In order to cover up, Lao Zhu's tone couldn't help but be a little heavier.
Hu Weiyong was also speechless.
Don't come at me if you're angry! Be quiet so I can hear you.
"Yes, I will arrange it now."
If the cone penetrates an inch, the head will be decapitated.
For example, if you arrange for an archer to fire a crossbow at the city wall from a distance, if it misses even an inch, your life will be at risk.
The same is true here, the simplest and most practical.
Soon, shooters were called in and shot at the city wall from a distance.
Zheng Xiong looked confused, that's all.
Whether you can ejaculate or not, it has nothing to do with you!
The issue of wall tiles has nothing to do with me!
As expected, the shot hit the wall and bounced off, causing some skin damage.
Because the seeping cement slurry has become a natural protective film, protecting it from some damage.
Coupled with its quality, no accidents occurred.
Hu Weiyong was dissatisfied, and Lao Zhu was equally dissatisfied.
Hu Weiyong thought that the wall tiles were of good quality, but that was not necessarily the case inside.
Anyway, let's face it, it is filled with sand and gravel, like a bubble, it bursts when poked.
But Lao Zhu wanted to see where the limit of the city wall built by the new method was? It will also be a good reference for future city building.
"Your Majesty, the wall tiles are made by local supervisors. They don't dare to cut corners. I'm afraid they won't be effective if they try this way."
Lao Zhu also had this intention, and nodded after hearing this.
"In your opinion, what should it be?"...
After thinking for a moment, Hu Weiyong replied.
"There is gold and jade on the outside, but ruins on the inside. This kind of thing happens all the time."
"I think it's best to take apart a small section and look at the inside."
After listening, Lao Zhu had a different opinion, but what Hu Weiyong said made sense, so he wanted to take a look first and talk about it later.
"You make the arrangements."
Big hammer, chisel, and axe.
For a time, it was similar to the construction site of later generations.
Zheng Xiong was speechless for a while, he couldn't afford to spend money again! Co-authorship is not
You don’t feel bad about your money either.
"Bang bang bang."
"Bang bang bang."
"Bang bang bang."
"Your Majesty, gentlemen, I am so incompetent that I can't cut it open here. It's like the whole thing. It took me a long time to get such a small gap."
"Your Majesty and your lords, please forgive me."
