Chapter 186: Visitor
"Fujun, God!" A craftsman slammed the two bricks that were glued together to the ground, the bricks were broken, but most of them were still glued together, and he couldn't help but smile at Liu Yi.
"Not almost." Liu Yi was not very satisfied, he found that the cement shrank too much in the few hours of cooling, which felt that there was no change between the two bricks, but put it on a wall, the change was great, not to mention the city he was going to build, the height of the city wall is expected to be as high as seven zhang, and as Chen Ergou said, even if the firing method is changed, at the current level, the cement that can be calcined cannot supply a city, especially in the early stage, the foundation is waterproof, but most of the cement is needed.
"Sir, I think it's pretty good." Chen Ergou picked up the cement on the ground and looked at Liu Yi suspiciously.
"Sandstone, put more sand!" Liu Yi frowned and recalled for a while, and remembered that when he made cement in his previous life, he had to mix sand, and there were a lot of them, and in a piece of cement, the weight of sand was more than cement, Liu Yi looked at the craftsman beside him: "Order someone to find more sand and gravel, and try it first in the ratio of cement four and sand and gravel six." ”
"Whoa!" When the craftsman heard this, he hurriedly agreed and went to arrange for someone to copy it.
The clerk in charge of recording looked at Liu Yi and said, "Fujun, then the data of this thing ......"
"Just continue to do it according to the current ratio and re-transcribe a real data." Liu Yi said with a smile, in the past few months, the biggest gain is not how much money he has made, but that he has finally researched the cement, which is of great significance for the upcoming establishment of the city.
Liu Yi grabbed a handful of cement and smiled with satisfaction on his face.
Cement: Adhesion +24
With this attribute, coupled with the fact that the effect of cement itself has surpassed this era, the built city is afraid to go against the sky in terms of solidity.
"From tomorrow, the cement will be prepared by a special person, and other things can be suspended, but the cement cannot be relaxed for a moment, and it will be fired day and night, and everyone will take turns to make it." Liu Yi said to the three elders who were responsible for managing this place, these Zhuangzi, Liu Yi had set up three elders, and his job was to manage these fields for him.
"Don't worry, you should keep in mind your humble duties!" The third elder hurriedly agreed.
Liu Yi was slightly relieved at this moment, with this, the progress of building the city can be pushed a lot faster, plus the bricks and tiles fired by the workshop in the past few months, at least lay the foundation, and it is no problem to build the underground part, bringing more than 3,000 people, almost all of the men are invested in various factories, and the women are also recruited by Liu Yi to spin and weave, this fourteen years of Jian'an, for the three major forces, it is a quiet period, each other is digesting their own gains, or licking their wounds, only this is the most unappreciated Jingnan land, Liu Yi is as busy as a dog, and even accompanying his wife can only go back to accompany him in a hurry.
However, now that the cement has been developed, the operation of each factory no longer needs Liu Yi to worry about it, just wait for Cui Zhouping to send people to him, and he can directly start building the city.
Clapping his hands, Liu Yi handed over the follow-up work to the person in charge here to continue the arrangement, and then took Chen Ergou and others into the carriage and rushed to the fishing town.
was still outside the fishing town, and saw that the Deng family was already waiting outside, and when he saw Liu Yi's carriage and horse coming back, he hurriedly stepped forward to greet him.
"Why is my sister-in-law here?" Liu Yi got out of the car with some surprise, and asked as he walked inside, there was no such treatment before, and there was no need for someone to greet him.
"There is a guest from Jingbei, Mrs. is receiving, and the concubine is coming, let's talk to Mr. first." Deng explained to Liu Yi as he walked.
"Oh? Who's coming? Is it such a battle? Liu Yi looked at the Deng family with some surprise, just come as a guest, is it necessary to be so grand? Could it be that Liu Bei came in person?
It's impossible to think about it, now Liu Bei has just pacified Nanjun, and now I'm afraid he is still busy calming people's hearts, how can he have the time to run here to hang out.
"It's General Nayid." Mrs. Deng sighed: "I heard that he has a short temper, and he has had some holidays with Madame's father, and the concubine is worried, so she ran to tell Mr. in advance." ”
"Hmm." Liu Yi quickened his pace, he wasn't worried about what Zhang Fei would do to Lu Lingqi, although he was a reckless temper, but a big man would not really do anything to a pregnant woman, not to mention that the two got along well before, he was worried that Lu Lingqi would not be happy and had a fetal gas.
……
There is a fireplace designed by Liu Yi in the main hall, the fire is burning, although the outside has begun to cool down significantly, and the weather in the south is that kind of wet and cold, it feels colder than the north, but in this room, there is no chill or dampness.
Zhang Fei's rugged face was a little unnatural in the light reflected by the fireplace at the moment.
It's also natural, I used to meet Lu Bu either scolded or did it, even if I couldn't beat it, I never coaxed it, but today I met Lu Bu's daughter, it is impossible to beat, not to mention that the other party is still a pregnant woman, and he Zhang Fei can't afford to lose this person when the word about beating a woman spreads, not to mention that Liu Yi's face is there, don't look at the face of the monk and look at the face of the Buddha, although Zhang Fei is short-tempered and scolds the soldiers at every turn, but for those who are really capable, Zhang Fei respects him from the bottom of his heart.
Although the status of craftsmen is not as high as that of scholars, during the Battle of Chibi, whether it is the weapons made by Liu Yi or the deeds of sweeping the four counties within a few months, as well as the strange ability to work with money, it is enough to prove that Liu Yi is different from ordinary craftsmen, otherwise Liu Bei would not be able to give Liu Yi so much tolerance even if he is generous.
Liu Yi is using his ability to make Zhang Fei respect, his woman, not to mention shouting and killing, Zhang Fei even has to maintain enough respect, don't care whose daughter she is, now her identity is Liu Yi's wife, besides, then Lu Bu is also a capable person, but the two sides made a mistake, Zhang Fei had itchy hands when he met, and now that he thinks about it, many things are actually unnecessary.
has followed Liu Bei for so many years, Zhang Fei doesn't look reckless, but he can see political things more thoroughly than Guan Yu, the princes are fighting, how can there be so many rights and wrongs?
Lu Lingqi sat on the main seat, regarded as a companion, but did not speak, holding the bowl with both hands, and in it was the soup boiled by Mrs. Deng, who didn't like to drink it very much, but for some reason, she has recently begun to like this sour soup.
Occasionally look at Zhang Fei, politely head of the chin to signal the other party to drink some tea soup or eat some dried meat, now this fishing town, the most important thing is meat, the residents here, eat more meat than food on weekdays, although Lu Lingqi is not the kind of easy to gain weight, but during this time, with the continuous bulge of the abdomen, people are still inevitably a little blessed, a little less heroic, but more of a soft feeling.
The hall is lit with an incense burner, and the faint smoke escapes, and then gradually dissipates in the air, making people feel a sense of peace of mind, the whole building or the whole fishing town, Liu Yi designed it at the beginning, it was used as Lu Lingqi's fetus, so no matter the environment or layout, it is the kind of person who can be calm and comfortable, coupled with the blessing of the attributes, that is, Zhang Fei, a reckless man, came in, and he didn't feel a little tranquil, which obviously did not match his character, and the feeling that it gave people was indescribably weird.
A big man with a quiet, indifferent but vicious face, Lu Lingqi pays a lot of attention because of this.
In terms of Zhang Fei's own feeling, he is a little awkward, but he is very comfortable, and he has an urge to paint, and his painting work is very good.
"Brother and sister, is Brother Bo Yuanxian busy these days?" Zhang Fei wanted to break this strange atmosphere, and in order to avoid making Lu Lingqi uncomfortable, he opened his mouth and introduced the topic to Liu Yi.
It's just that as soon as he said this, Zhang Fei felt that something was wrong, not only was this crepe way of speaking not tired with him, but also that no matter what he and Lu Bu said, they should be regarded as equals, why should they be called Lu Bu's daughter and sister? That Lu Bu is not a generation taller than himself, but this has already been said, and it is not good to change it.
Lu Lingqi glanced at Zhang Fei, probably thinking of this, her expression was indescribably strange, the corners of her mouth turned up, and she bowed her head slightly: "My husband told me something, the money is not enough, and it is not good to open his mouth to the emperor's uncle again, so he wants to build this area into a ...... The area of agriculture, animal husbandry and industry to earn enough funds for the construction of the city is indeed quite busy during this time, but the husband will come back every day, if you calculate the time, it should be soon, and the brother can stay for a while. ”
The corners of Zhang Fei's mouth twitched, this position was decided, if he met Na Lu Bu underground in the future, what should he call it?
Suddenly there was a feeling that he didn't want to talk to this girl anymore, Zhang Fei made his head bigger, and then looked around and said: "It's quite comfortable here, no wonder Bo Yuan wants to build a city here." ”
The topic was terminated like this, and when Liu Yi and Mrs. Deng came back, Zhang Fei even had a feeling of meeting a savior.
"The three generals are coming, why don't you notify me in advance, Yi is also a little prepared." Liu Yi entered the main hall, looked at Zhang Fei, who was sitting like pins and needles under his buttocks, and asked with a smile.
looked at Lu Lingqi beyond Zhang Fei, and saw that Lu Lingqi was sitting upright, without a displeased expression, and even with a little smile on the corner of her mouth, she was relieved.
"It's fine." Zhang Fei waved his hand, regained his heroic momentum, and smiled at Liu Yi: "In the past six months, I have been bored in Jiangling, and my brother did not say that he was going to attack Xiangyang. ”
Public security is Xiaoling, west of Bashu, east of Hanshui, Liu Bei this year to change the name of public security, according to Zhuge Liang Long's strategy, now Liu Bei has Jingzhou, the next step is to occupy the land of Bashu, moved to the public security, but also represents Liu Bei's strategic focus began to shift to the land of Bashu.
Liu Yi thought about it, now that Liu Bei's foundation in Jingxiang is unstable, I am afraid that it will not be implemented in the short term, at least two or three years.
"Does Uncle Huang know about this?" Liu Yi looked at Zhang Fei and asked with a smile.
"I've already told my brother that I've come here this time and received an errand to supervise the making." Saying that, Zhang Fei looked at Liu Yi with a wicked smile and said, "You are good here, do you have a place to live?" ”
I guess it's an eyesore for you!
Liu Yi sneered, nodded and said: "The most important thing in this fishing town is residence, the three generals can rest assured, everything is still ready, just wait for the people to be transferred, and then you can start work." ”
