Yuan Benchu's Xiaobie Ye was the first to start, and was named "No. 1 Project of the Political Council" by Liu Hanshao, and the cement was produced by the small kiln that originally developed cement. Chen Zhao, a master craftsman who had been assigned to the Internal Affairs Bureau, was called over and served as the on-site commander. From the news of the restructuring, Chen Zhao's heart began to tremble, because since the emperor ascended the throne, only one monument to the heroes of the Han Dynasty has been built, and even the part of the Nangong that was burned out at the beginning has not been repaired. Therefore, when I received the construction task this time, I was full of enthusiasm and stayed at the construction site every day, never leaving for a moment.

However, the first step of Liu Hanshao's small bieno to build is different from Chen Zhao's previous cognition. In the past, the building was built with earth first, and then built on the platform, such as Yuntai and Lantai, all of which were the same. But now Liu Hanshao asked to dig a pit first, saying that he wanted to lay a foundation. Since the emperor wants to dig a pit, then dig it, regardless of whether it is neat or not. So, the pit of the three small buildings, the pit of the fountain in the middle, and the pit of the water tower. The water tower needs to be a little taller than the main building, and the pressure is used to bring water indoors, so the foundation needs to be stronger.

In addition, there are sewer pipes, which Chen Zhao is no stranger to, because Luoyang already has facilities such as sewers, which are specially used to discharge domestic wastewater, as long as they are connected to the main road.

This little don't cover the field, even the master craftsmen often feel confused, and the various scientific research groups that have been transferred may not all understand, but they are a little blindly trusting Liu Hanshao, and whenever they encounter new problems, they will ask Liu Hanshao for advice. However, how can Liu Hanshao know how to build a small building, it is purely used as a building block to build up, anyway, the collapse of the building is also the bad luck of Yuan Shao's family.

"Pillars! The pillars should not be made of wood, but should be coiled with steel bars and wires in the middle, like a net, and cement should be poured into them. Yes, this beam too. You have a brick and concrete building, and you use wood as the floor slab in the middle? If a brick falls from the top and the wood is broken, won't the building collapse? The use of prefabricated slabs is similar to that of building beams, that is, it is flatter and a little wider and longer. The bamboo pole is plugged in the middle to make it hollow, which can reduce the weight of the floor slab. You can't let it break, you have to do it under the premise of maintaining its strength, quality first. ”

After all, it is his own small building, and Yuan Tan also soaks on the construction site as a supervisor every day, seeing that the construction site is the same day by day, and the questions he asks are becoming more and more strange. Of course, the most profound thing is the issue of money. At first, it was a whole box of moving, and then it was pulled in a car, and now copper coins are no longer popular, and gold cakes are used.

How is value generated?

A piece of stone was dug up, smashed, ground into powder, burned into cement, and used to build a building. Although the stone has changed its appearance, it is actually the same stone in essence. However, the labor, time, machinery, and fuel used to burn the stones here all need to be measured by a "price".

In the past, no matter what kind of work I did, I used my own servants and subordinates, and I ate pig-fed forage, and if I didn't do it well, I had to be beaten. Now the workers must have enough to eat and drink, and there is a good salary to get, and the more skilled they are, the more they will get, especially those carpenters, blacksmiths, and masons who follow the members of the scientific research group.

The money is spent a little more, but everyone is enthusiastic, hardworking, serious and active, and treats Yuan Shao's small building as their ancestral grave. All of a sudden, the No. 1 project of the Political Council has become the biggest hot spot in Luoyang, not only the Aiqing have come to watch, but the reporters of the Han Monthly also interviewed and published articles at any time to introduce the progress of the project to the outside world.

…………

At the same time, Hedong also underwent great changes, Wei Qi personally ran back to his hometown, held a family meeting, and relayed the emperor's plan for Hedong Wei and the future prospects, many people also questioned, can an ironmaking workshop be so important? The most important thing is, can it feed such a large family? Later, Wei Qi also made it clear that if Wei did not follow the emperor's wishes now, there would be no way out in the future.

Want to rebel?

After weighing and weighing, with the brigade of Liu Pi of the Han Zhengjun left behind in Hedong and the local B-level troops, is it enough to destroy the Wei family? If it is not enough, how many brigades does the Han Zheng Army have?

Later, under Wei Qi's combination of soft and hard, the whole family reached a consensus, attached to the emperor, and fully cooperated. A big family that has accumulated and precipitated for many years has finally burst out with huge energy. First of all, Wei Qi's brother, Wei Yu, was responsible for leading the team to Jingzhou and making every effort to purchase grain; Secondly, Wei Qian's younger brother, Wei Gu, was responsible for preparing for the construction of coking and ironworks, because Wei Qi himself was the chief of the Han Zheng military quartermaster, and he was also responsible for the military equipment affairs of the former enemy marshal on the Western Front, so he also asked the clan elders to cooperate with Huang Shao in Tuntian.

The big family originally had an iron-making workshop, but the researchers sent by Luoyang said that "if you want to make iron, you must first make coke." "Coke" is the meaning of coke, because raw coal contains many impurities, and there is an unpleasant odor, after calcining with fire, it becomes mature coal and forms coke, and the initial coking and burning charcoal are similar, with large losses and large pollution. In particular, the pungent smell that wafts away is actually called "gas", but unfortunately it cannot be collected and reused now.

In the past, coal or charcoal were also used for ironmaking, but because the furnace temperature was not enough, the iron could not be completely melted, and only a block of iron with a lot of impurities could be obtained, so it was necessary to forge repeatedly to remove impurities before the steel could be obtained. The so-called blast furnace ironmaking is to lay a layer of coke in the furnace, a layer of iron ore, and a little solvent, such as limestone or dolomite, after continuous high-temperature combustion, the molten iron can be smelted, which flows directly from the tap hole under the furnace, so that pig iron can be obtained.

At the same time as pouring the freshly baked molten pig iron into the converter, the oxygen is blown in to react with the carbon in the molten pig iron to generate carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide, so that the carbon content left in the pig iron reaches the required proportion, and it will become carbon steel, also called crude steel. For example, warm wine is hot in the mouth, poured into the cup and blown, in the process of blowing, the alcohol is volatilized, and after the glass of wine cools down, it will be lower than the previous alcohol content, the so-called converter steelmaking, this is the reason.

Although the truth is simple, it will be difficult to really become a set of skilled techniques, and with Liu Hanshao's kind of scumbag, many times he may not even understand the reason. Fortunately, the craftsmen of ironmaking have a spirit of study, and it is a divine skill taught by Liu Hanshao himself, who has studied it over and over again, tested it over and over again, and started over and over again. Not to mention anything else, blast furnace blast and converter oxygen blowing is a big problem, and the previous kind of push-pull small bellows are not rushed at all, so large blowers are also manufactured.

The blower also needs to rotate fast to work, and then add the gear set, the big wheel with the middle wheel, the middle wheel with the small wheel, and the small wheel then drive the fan blades, for this reason, Liu Hanshao also gave this gear set a very foreign name: "transmission".

…………

There are also many problems to be solved in the "No. 1 Project of the Political Council", since you want indoor water supply, you must need water pipes, and naturally you can no longer use bamboo tubes. Liu Hanshao asked people to cast copper pipes directly, each copper pipe could not be cast too long, only about three feet, and then cast the buckle, fortunately, the copper pipe is much softer than steel, and it can be threaded and connected section by section, just like copper bamboo.

If the copper water pipe is to turn money into pipes, then the precious ceramics are used as bricks and laid on the ground, which is simply unimaginable to ordinary people. Liu Zi can do this job, he has the ability to burn ceramics, and he was pulled by Liu Hanshao halfway to study how to burn cement.

However, when firing the toilet bowl, the water outlet hole in the inner wall becomes a problem, and you can't use your fingers to cut the holes one by one. Later, Liu Hanshao proposed, can you make a shelf out of wood first, bury it in it, and wipe it out directly, and when it is fired, the wooden frame will naturally be burned off, and what is left is not the water hole? Then, Liu Hanshao thought that the toilet in later generations was pressed out like a brick press machine, and he was worried that the handmade porcelain was not enough now, what if he sat rotten and stuck his ass? Therefore, let the craftsman make it as thick as the top and bottom, like a pier.

As a result, the world's first ceramic toilet bowl looks like a longitudinally cut duck egg from above, and from the side, it looks like a tree stump...... If you want to say it's ugly, it's as smooth as jade, delicate and cold, if you want to say it's beautiful, I always feel like something weird. However, this is designed by His Majesty himself, and a group of craftsmen worked hard day and night to develop it, so don't ask the price, because the golden toilet is not as expensive as it!

To be honest, it is really difficult to measure whether Liu Hanshao's role here is more good or bad. At least from the point of view that the ceramic toilet uses grouting molding, rather than pressing molding, Liu Hanshao, a scumbag, is wrong, and it is purely a blind command. In addition, it is really inconclusive which one is better, cement building or civil engineering construction. Civil buildings may not seem so strong, but it is not surprising that they have been preserved for thousands of years, and concrete buildings seem to be extremely strong, and it is almost the limit that they can be preserved for hundreds of years.

However, if Liu Hanshao wants to build a cement road now, he must first make the cement useful and valuable, and then someone is willing to take out the money to invest in the cement factory, so the cement must show its magic, and the small field of Yuan Shao's family must also be made of money, and even gold, even if it is the wooden furniture in the house, it has to be sold for gold.

What is good?

Expensive, that's good!

Yuan Shao took the time to go back to Luoyang, saying that he was reporting the progress of the work to Liu Hanshao, what problems he encountered, how to solve them, and so on, but he also wanted to see how his little Bie Ye was doing, but it became Liu Hanshao to report the progress of the project to him. Seeing His Majesty's enthusiasm and running to his own construction site three times a day, Yuan Shao didn't mention how moved he was, until he went home and inquired about the expenditure, he had a feeling of blood dripping from his heart.

So, Yuan Tan, who was pretending to be the temporary boss at home, was beaten by Yuan Shao that night. It is said that Yuan Tan behaved quite heroically, arguing with Yuan Shao while being beaten: "I am also for the good of our family, and one day you will know my hard work!" ”

Yuan Shao shouted angrily: "I don't know your hard work, but I can let you know my hard work!" ”
