Su Song subconsciously glanced at Li Jie, and saw that Li Jie's face was really a little unsightly, he was the leading architect in the Great Song Dynasty, Su Song had already proposed to let him be in charge of the construction of the school building, and that person actually replied like this, wouldn't he dislike his craftsmanship?

Several temporary shacks were built inside, and Shen Long led them into one of them, only to see a large sand table placed inside, on which was a model of the school building.

"What is this?" Li Jie was greatly surprised to see it, before he built the palace and temple, he would also use wood to make models for reference, he was no stranger to this practice, but the appearance of the school building given by Shen Long was different from the various buildings he had built before, there were no dougong cornices, no red painted giant pillars, just some boxy, different sizes, lengths, heights and boxes placed there.

And I don't know what the material used to create the model is made of, like the sand is glued together, but it is extremely strong when touched by hand, and then look at the window, at first glance, it seems that there is only a window frame and no window paper to cover it, and then it is blocked by a transparent sheet like mica, which can not only block the wind, but also does not affect the light.

"The name of this thing is cement, and if you add water and mix sand and gravel in a certain proportion, you can quickly become as hard as a stone; The name of this thing is glass, which is quite similar to glass, but it is more thorough than glass. Shen Long took out a bag of cement and a piece of glass, which he had made in a nearby kiln.

With the Nobel-level chemistry, it was easy to make this basic material, and now it is just right to build a school.

Su Song and the others took the glass and looked at it in turn, even the blind Wei Pu touched it, and everyone was surprised, "If the windows of the house are pressed with glass, it will indeed be much brighter, and the students can spend more time studying every day." ”

Nowadays, the school is almost entirely lit by daylight, and the adobe house cannot have too large windows, so the only time that can be used for teaching every day is the best daylight.

Li Jie was more concerned about cement, and hurriedly urged Shen Long to demonstrate, Shen Long took some sand and gravel and cement mixed with water, used a cement knife to wipe out a shape and dry there, and continued to explain to them the layout of the sand table, there is a teaching building, there is a dormitory area, there is a faculty and staff family area, here is the stadium, there is a laboratory, and so on.

Everyone listened and asked, and after a while they went to poke the cement block, only to see that the cement block was getting harder and harder, and in less than two hours, it was really hard as a stone.

"How much is this cement and glass worth? If it's not expensive, it's a good material! The facts are in front of them, everyone understands the benefits of these two things, Li Jie, and asked the key, for building materials, price is the most critical, if the price is too expensive, no matter how good things are, it is not cost-effective.

"It's all made of sand and gravel, and the price of glass is a little bit, and cement is not much more expensive than green bricks." Shen Long replied with a smile, he still didn't tell the truth, countless traversers use glass as a tool to make huge profits, they can't lose this face, and this can also stimulate the enthusiasm of students to learn.

"So cheap?" Li Jie was taken aback, glass is not expensive, compared to cement, the amount of glass is not large, if cement is so cheap, the cost of the house will not be very high.

"Things are good things, but the houses built are not very good-looking." Su Song felt that these boxy buildings had no beauty, it was simply too awkward.

"School, it's only right to let students have a place to go to class earlier, and I don't care so much about whether it's good-looking or not; And there is still a large piece of land in the back, and when these are changed, Ming Zhong can think about how to repair the next house to look good! Shen Long was quite curious about what kind of buildings could be created by a top traditional architect like Li Jie using cement and glass.

This reason made everyone speechless for a while, and then Shen Long took them outside and personally demonstrated to them how to build a brick and concrete house, he had to teach Li Jie and his apprentices first, and then these people would teach ordinary workers, and only when they had learned could they officially start building houses.

Li Jie realized that this was a great opportunity, the ancestor of these craftsmen who built houses was Lu Ban, and Lu Ban had never used cement or glass, if he could sort out a set of related construction methods, wouldn't he be able to think of Lu Ban as a celebrity in the future?

Therefore, he worked harder than anyone else, bringing his apprentices over early every day, learning theoretical knowledge for half a day, conducting practical operations for half a day, and lighting a lamp at night to review the harvest of the day.

It is not difficult to build a brick and concrete structure house, and the construction of a house in the countryside of Shen Long's hometown is a combination of several strong laborers, buy some cement and red brick steel bars and start working directly, and it didn't take much time for an architectural genius like Li Jie to learn.

Then he took his apprentices and a large number of workers to start building the entire school building, while Shen Long and Su Song, Wei Pu, and Jia Xian prepared teaching materials, and recruited students with Wang Yan.

When he recruited students, he was more inclined to the children of merchants' families and craftsmen's families, and he didn't like the children of scholarly families very much, but people from real scholarly families would not come to him, but he made it clear that this school did not teach the knowledge that was needed for the imperial examination.

Time passed quickly, the school building was built, the first batch of students were recruited, and Shen Long, Su Song, Jia Xian and others began to teach according to the established syllabus and carried out some research activities.

And in the court, there have also been a lot of changes, Zhang Dian didn't know what method to use, but he was stunned to get this thing done, and took Sado Island from the hands of the Wa State, and the Great Song Dynasty had already sent a fleet to land on the island and began to build settlements to prepare for gold mining.

Wang Anshi also like in history, Xuan Ma worshiped the prime minister, was appointed by Zhao Ji as the governor of the political affairs, and began to preside over the reform of the law, Wang Anshi did not carry out reforms as in history, but listened to Shen Long's advice, first from the promotion of high-yield crops and the development of Huguang, did not suffer much attack for the time being.

Wang Shao also met Zhao Xu, Wang Shao presented the revised "Pingrong Policy", Zhao Shao was overjoyed, and immediately appointed Wang Shao as the driver of Qinfeng Road, Yiwen, and asked him to go to Shaanxi to prepare for the recovery of Hehuang Erzhou.

Before Wang Shao left, he came to the school to say goodbye to Shen Long, Shen Long had been at school for this time, and felt a little depressed, and now that the school was on the right track, he didn't need to stare at it every day, so he immediately said, "Oh? It's better for me to go to the northwest with Zichun. ”
