Chapter 170: The General Is Here

Tang Zhangwei used cavalry to advance rapidly on the Khitan steppe, all the way to Lake Belga, where the abundant products made Tang Zhangwei very happy. -Miscellaneous ∮ ∮ Worms-

Tang Zhangwei ordered the relocation of 100,000 households from the Central Plains of the Tang Dynasty to this place, and this order was issued. Suddenly, it caused an uproar in the Central Plains.

At this time, Tang Zhangwei abandoned his troops in the Khitan prairie, and led Bai Cunxiao and a small team of cavalry from the Khitan to the prairie, across half of the Tang Dynasty, and arrived in Luoyang, the eastern capital.

In Luoyang City, there are many poor people. Tang Zhangwei announced that as long as he was willing to go to the northernmost part of the Khitan prairie and participate in the construction of the northern city of the new Tang Mountains, he would be given 500 acres of land.

In the entire Datang region, there are not many people who own 500 acres of land, and Tang Zhangwei's condition is quite attractive.

At the same time, in order to help these immigrants overcome the difficulties of their future lives.

Tang Zhangwei was in Luoyang, the eastern capital, and transported 100,000 war horses, 100,000 donkeys, and 100,000 ploughing cattle. The horses were tall and hard-working. The donkeys are all shiny and splashy, and the ploughing cattle are strong.

These livestock, in the eastern capital of Luoyang, have turned the Luoshui here into a huge drinking tank.

Food for many livestock was transported from various parts of the Tang Dynasty.

Luoyang, the eastern capital, has also become the largest mule and horse trading market in Datang.

As long as you are willing to go to live in Lingbei Province of Datang and Lingbei City of Lake Belga, you will be given a horse or a donkey on the spot, and some people who are unwilling to ride a horse or sit on a donkey can have a cow.

Tang Zhangwei wore green cloth clothes and hid among the people, which was a habit he developed after experiencing several assassinations.

Looking at problems from the perspective of ordinary people, you can find your own shortcomings in your daily life, and at the same time, it is easier to communicate with others.

However, this also has shortcomings, after all, people's energy is limited, and after thinking about the people for a long time, they will chase firewood, rice, oil and salt too much, and not be thoughtful enough about some major events.

Among the civilians in Luoyang, there is a family that sells baked cakes, and they have a son named Lin Xiaoxuan.

This person eats a lot of food, and he can eat half a catty of baked cakes and a catty of meat.

This guy's amount of food scared his father and mother to split up with him early, and he could only eat half full every day. In order to survive, he also made a career out of selling baked cakes.

The people of Luoyang, watching Lin Xiaoxuan nibbling on baked cakes, had an appetite.

In order to have a full meal, Lin Xiaoxuan took the initiative to participate in the immigration team of Datang, and they rode horses and carts one by one, beaming with joy.

Along the way, the people of Datang also distributed baked cakes to these people.

At first, Lin Xiaoxuan was not familiar with the commander of the immigration team, and he asked the leader of the immigration team, Lou Tianyu: "Sir, can this immigrant eat with his belly open?" ”

Lou Tian said: "Don't worry, here is not only full, but also meat." ”

Hearing that there was meat, Lin Xiaoxuan's eyes couldn't help but light up, he wanted to eat meat so much.

Lin Xiaoxuan is simply a man born for meat, he can live without bamboo, but he can't eat without meat.

Lin Xiaoxuan held a machete in his hand, stared ahead, and said, "Sir, as long as your meat and steamed buns are full, I will fight wherever you point." ”

Lou Tian said: "Datang will give you a chance, this time to immigrate, we will take a car along the way." ”

In order to reassure immigrants, this Datang also took great pains, they formed a group of twenty people and dragged them in two carriages.

This kind of four-wheeled or six-** carriage is very exquisitely constructed, all of which are designed by craftsmen of the Eastern Roman Empire and made in the Tang Dynasty. The carriages sat up very securely.

Some of the largest carriages also had eight wheels and could carry twenty people.

Along the way, Tang Zhangwei ordered the residents of Datang to repair the stones.

In order to cultivate, they also brought in technicians from the Eastern Roman Empire and Egypt. They invented a special artificial stone, which was called cement.

In the first century BC, the ancient Romans used a mixture of lime and volcanic ash in their construction, which is similar to lime pozzolana cement. Concrete made from cemented crushed stone is not only strong after hardening, but also resistant to fresh or salt water. For a long time, it has been widely used in construction projects as an important cementitious material.

Later, when Smiton, from the Roman province of England, studied the properties of certain limes hardening in water, they discovered that to obtain hydraulic lime, limestone containing clay must be fired, and they successfully developed a masonry mortar for underwater construction.

Tang Zhangwei sent a large number of technicians from the Eastern Roman Empire, and with the help of Fisherchun, a large number of cement factories were established.

Weizhuang began to use a large amount of cement in road construction, and in the long-term use, Datang's engineers found that the ideal component of water conservancy is hydraulic lime and volcanic ash.

Parker, an Eastern Roman technician, fired a type of cement out of marl with a brown appearance, which was named Roman cement. Because it is made of natural marl as raw material and fired directly without ingredients, it is also known as natural cement. It has good hydraulic hardness and fast-setting characteristics, and is especially suitable for projects in contact with water.

Piga, a civil engineer from West Francia, then discovered that a three-to-one mixture of lime and clay produced the best cement.

Relying on these technicians, a large number of roads began to be built from the Tang Dynasty to Lake Belga, which is known as the Beihai.

These roads are not only smooth, but they are also built quickly.

The people of Datang were very surprised when they saw these smooth roads.

What makes the Datang immigrants feel strange is that on these roads, there is still a crack to be cut. In this way, the cement road will not become cracked when it expands and contracts.

With these roads, everyone can quickly rush from Datang to the Lingbei area.

Everyone poked their heads out of the car. Looking at the scenery along the way, from the Central Plains region, to Youzhou, and then into the Khitan Province, they finally saw the land of Lingbei Province.

When Lin Xiaoxuan was traveling with the immigrants, he noticed that a man named Zhang Guangman could always pull out rabbit meat.

Lin Xiaoxuan was very envious, and he said to Zhang Guangman: "Can you give me some rabbit meat?" ”

Zhang Guangman said: "Yes! ”

Lin Xiaoxuan gnawed a rabbit to the bone, and then Zhang Guangman threw another rabbit to him.

The air-dried rabbit meat tasted very beautiful, which made Lin Xiaoxuan eat with a mouth full of oil.

Zhang Guangman said: "I have a beautiful life, and your life is not bad!" ”

Lin Xiaoxuan arched his hand and said, "Thank you, I owe it to you!" ”

On the way, Lin Xiaoxuan found that all the commanders were very polite to Zhang Guangman. Lou Tianpre gave Zhang Guangman special treatment, and everything followed Zhang Guangman's meaning.

When he arrived in Lingbei Province, many governors came to greet Zhang Guangman.

The commanders said, "The general is here, and we are not welcome." ”
