Chapter 225: Honor and Money
Zhang Guoan arranged a half-person-high bamboo shed-style stage on the Yangyang Arena. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
A lot of pine torches were added, and of course, fire prevention was also noted.
Under the stage, stepped audience seats were built with bamboo, and countless lanterns were erected, so that there were no dark dead corners in the whole venue.
The people involved in the construction all came voluntarily, and everyone was happy to see the lobby meeting on New Year's Eve.
This is exactly what Zhang Guoan and his family want, so that the people here can eat well, put on clothes, have some money in their pockets, live in a real house, and have a head in life, which has been done------ but also have a spiritual enjoyment as pleasant as possible.
Although there is open gambling every ten days, this is a form of entertainment that Zhang Guoan does not like from the bottom of his heart.
The performance of this party has made the Badaohe area and the people who came from the Yihe area talk about it for many days.
In fact, although this party basically invites second- and third-rate artists, and due to technical reasons, some people can't see or hear clearly, but these people who watch, due to their own conditions, where can they see so many programs intensively?
So, the feeling of freshness makes them feel happy.
Not to mention the other programs, just the performance match between the Keju team of the Liuqiu Guards and the Keju team of the Keju Club set off a climax in the audience, because almost everyone bet.
This is the effect of gambling again------ quietly said to Zhang Guoan: "Forget it, don't be angry, they have another advantage of gambling, that is, they can abide by the rules, and everyone is willing to gamble and lose." ”
Well, Zhang Guoan barely showed a smile and didn't want to say anything.
There are even artists who run out of the backstage to bet.
Whenever it comes to such a time, set the table. When it comes to helping out and running errands, there are always people who take the initiative to jump out and organize.
At this time, a large-scale gambling party was quickly held------ Zhang Guoan saw that Shen Qianqian also ran to bet, so he asked casually: "Qianqian, who did you bet on?" ”
Qianqian said: "I bet on the club to win!" ”
The game they designed is easy to judge whether to win or lose, and because of the net, the proficiency requirements for the cooperation of both sides are greater than the physical requirements. Originally, the cooperation of the Liuqiu Guards was better than that of the community.
Qianqian said: "Because the people of the Liuqiu Guard are not allowed to gamble and will not value it, while the people of the community are all betting that they will win, and they will ----- desperately."
However, the result of this praise game made Qianqian want to cry, she didn't expect that those players could play crazy without money, and even in order to save a ball, Captain Bao Wei did not hesitate to fall a big heel------ and the result was that the Liuqiu Guards won. Those people in the Keju community were almost not scolded to death!
Qianqian wanted to cry, but was hugged by Quiet and said, "Qianqian, you see, not everyone cares about money------"
Qianqian said with a cry: "Lord, then what do they care about? ”
"Collective honor, justice in the world, and so on------"
Qianqian stopped talking.
Zhang Guoan looked at the happy faces of the Liuqiu guards who were hugging each other, and he felt very comfortable. They are completely a collective, and they can fight for the honor of the collective.
Now it's just a matter of actual combat.
After New Year's Eve. After a few days off, I went back to work.
The brick and tile houses in the Badaohe area are now being built more and more, of course, not for free to be allocated to the soldiers to live, but to take the road of low-rent housing like the Great Song Dynasty, for this policy. Those soldiers were also very receptive.
The production of Romanesque cement has finally reached its peak, because more and more firewood and coal are transported from the river area, and when there is a certain amount of spare power, it can be used to participate in the firing of Romanesque cement.
When the two salt farms were also completed, Zhang Guoan was the first to start. Hire those laborers as well, give them normal wages, and let them participate in the labor in the Badaohe area.
Just being involved in the crushing of limestone and marl requires a lot of manpower.
Zhang Guoan did not let go of the plasterers who helped Jacob build the trading station, and after they finished building the trading station, they were also hired to participate in the construction of houses.
At first, Jacob was very surprised that there was Romanesque cement here.
In Roman times, the Romans in Italy first used lime as a binder for bricks.
Ordinary lime is called quicklime, which becomes sticky hydrated lime when added with water, and mortar when mixed with sand.
The mortar sucks carbon dioxide into the air, turns into calcium carbonate and gradually solidifies, so the mortar can be used as a binder for bricks.
This is similar to the technological development in Chinese history, and there is also a method in Chinese history that can be mixed with clay with glutinous rice soup, so it is more advanced than them in terms of variety.
However, the Romans went a step further and invented better binders by mixing lime, gypsum and volcanic ash.
This is very similar in nature to the cement used today, and even the Romans used this binder as if it were reinforced concrete.
Therefore, in Roman architecture, stone and brick are mostly used to build walls in two layers, and this "cement" is added in the middle to solidify it.
Since the Romans invented this excellent "cement", this Romanesque "cement" has been used in Europe since then.
Until now, Jacob's home area of Ancona has used this method to build houses.
At this time, due to geographical differences or other reasons, the building adhesives of the Great Song Dynasty have not developed and made no progress.
Jacob later observed that the Romanesque cement here was not the same thing as the one used in his hometown, just as their local pottery was as different from the porcelain of the Great Song Dynasty.
He also saw the so-called kind of marl, and found that there did not seem to be such a rock at all.
He gave up learning how to fire.
Jacob lamented that the people here were so versatile, they were as good at catching big fish as the Vikings, as good as the French peasants, like the English were good at building ships, like the Arabs were good at seafaring----- even better at business than the merchants of Italy!
There are also those Great Song people on the other side, and the porcelain they fired and the silk they weaved were already the best in the world.
Unbeknownst to Jacob, the bow of the ship was preparing to get out the real Romanesque cement that was now being used in their hometown.
Because Zhang Guoan found tuff in the ore sent by the members of the Liuqiu Guards in the Yihe area.
Where there is tuff, there must be volcanic ash, and it seems that they have penetrated deep into the volcanic area.
Although they were not under the command of his half-sizers, the members of the Wandering Quest had known that the Lord had asked them to pick up strange stones they saw while patrolling or hunting, and to show them to the Lord's family.
At that time, Zhang Guoan decided to immediately build a volcanic ash cement plant in the Yihe area, which was very easy to process.
With volcanic ash or tuff and lime, with a small amount of gypsum, with low temperature calcination, it is OK, it is very waterproof and impermeable, especially suitable for the south.
Gypsum is called cold water stone in this time and space, and it is produced a lot in the Jiankang area, and the people use it to order tofu, how much they want, and it is not too much to use it just as an ingredient. (To be continued.) )
