85. Brick problem 1
"Dirt?" Everyone looked at Duan Fei in puzzlement.
Duan Fei began to explain.
Not all soil is suitable for burning bricks. On the contrary, the soil required to make bricks is very particular.
In this era, the houses were mostly made of wood, and the bricks were often used only in a few places, such as the walls of temples.
There are almost no brick and stone structures of Yu's Xinfu made by the Qin family, which is also the reason why Duan Fei followed Qin Xiaoluan in the first place.
Due to the small amount of bricks, there is no problem with the soil used to make bricks.
But now, if most of the Jingzhou city walls are made of bricks, the amount required is not half a star.
The soil of the brick kiln in Luofeng Town is not enough, if the brick kiln is opened in several nearby towns, there is an important inconvenience in transportation, and there is an important inconvenience in management. Without him personally guarding it, it would be difficult to guarantee the quality of the bricks, not to mention that the city wall needs such large bricks?
Yang Buxian asked, "Can't you find it near Jingzhou City?" ”
Duan Fei shook his head, he had seen along the way, relying on the soil quality of Jingzhou City was not suitable for burning bricks.
According to his observations, the place that can provide such a large amount of high-quality soil is in the town of Zhanggang between Tianmen County and Jingzhou Prefecture.
Zhanggang Town is close to the Han River, 120 miles from Tianmen County and about 150 miles from Jingzhou Mansion. The soil is very suitable for brick burning, and the biggest advantage is that there are plenty of bricks.
If the kiln is opened in Zhanggang Town, then it can supply Fuzhou Mansion, Jingzhou City, and Jiangling Mansion at the same time.
What is a little troublesome is that there is no direct road from Zhanggang Town to Jingzhou City, but to pass through Jiangling Mansion and detour to Jingzhou.
But it's always much closer than Luofeng Town.
Another point is that Jingzhou and Jiangling are both south of the Han River, while Zhanggang Town is in the north of the Jiang, and transportation needs to cross the river.
Cheng Laohei laughed: "There is no need to think about crossing the river, I have a boat, and this section of the river also happens to be Lao Tzu's territory." ”
Qin Xiaoluan opened his mouth and asked, "We can also build a bridge, right?" ”
As soon as these words came out, everyone stared at her with wide eyes.
Qin Xiaoluan also immediately discovered the fault in his words. In the future, let alone the Han River, even the cross-sea bridge can be done.
And in this day and age, there are no pile driver excavators. Even if there are machines, there is no elite of a certain Xiang technical school, and building a bridge over the Han River is definitely a super-large project.
Then again, even if it can be built, the cost is astronomical. Jingzhou Mansion will definitely not pay this money.
Do you want Qin Jiaban to invest by himself? If in the future, it can also use tolls to recover the cost of "raising funds to build roads, and paying back the money". But now, if you dare to do such a thing, you will be scolded as a bandit and robber who "opened this mountain and planted this tree by me".
If someone else comes up with this idea, it is guaranteed to be sprayed all over the skin.
But Qin Xiaoluan's identity as the class leader is not to mention, in the eyes of everyone, he is already close to a demigod.
Is there any less miracle she has done? Maybe there will be something new this time?
Thinking about it like this, everyone's eyes turned into anticipation.
Qin Xiaoluan smiled awkwardly: "I'm just talking casually." Okay, let's not dwell on this for now. That's it, Brother Duan, you immediately go to Zhanggang Town and find a way to open the cave as soon as possible. ”
After Duan Fei responded, Qian Jingsheng said, "I still have problems here. ”
Qin Xiaoluan asked, "What's the problem?" ”
Qian Jingsheng replied: "It's still a matter of stone. ”
