Before going to Canterlot, Shelley discussed with a group of artisans about the new projects that would follow, the most important of which was infrastructure.

Considering the fact that Yongle City gathers the residents of the surrounding towns, housing and safety facilities are more important.

The problem of housing is easy to solve, using wood instead of aluminum panels, and according to the design of the prefabricated house on the site in the previous life, it can provide a sufficient amount of shelter in a short time.

Although the quality is not good, it is undoubtedly sufficient for use as a transitional period.

But when there are many people, management and safety are very important, and if nothing else, it is not a matter to keep them outside the city walls all the time.

In order to prevent discrimination between the inhabitants inside and outside the city walls, Shelley directly ordered the demolition of the old city walls, which had been used for decades, despite the opposition.

Not to mention the dilapidated old city wall, the hidden danger is very large, the stability of the wall surface of the stone accumulation is very low, often a hard collision can blast out a hole, and it is very easy to cause chain collapse.

On top of that, it's also very easy to climb, which was especially noticeable when the greenskins attacked before. When the enemy is coming, no one needs to build a ladder, so what's the use of such a wall.

Tearing down the old city wall does not mean that the city wall is not needed, and Shelley soon formulated the construction of a new city wall.

In order to ensure that the new city wall would not have the previous problems, Shelley specially found a lot of information about the city wall seen in previous lives from the database of Crimson Moon.

Finally, he finalized the ancient city wall that he had climbed when he traveled to Chang'an. Considering that more and more people would move in in the future, Shelley simply prepared to replicate the city wall of the same size exactly according to the scale.

This frightened a lot of craftsmen, not to mention that the material problem of this wall has not been solved, and this manpower alone is completely insufficient to build such a huge wall.

"I'll solve the problem of materials and funds, and I'll go down to catch the strong man if I have the problem of manpower! When building temporary housing, many people should master some civil engineering skills, these people are all pulled out for me, and I will not give me any less money, so everyone must give me efforts for the home! ”

In the face of Shelley's coercion and temptation orders, the people below were stunned to identify nearly 10,000 strong workers in just a few days.

I have money and a job, and I still do things for myself, so there are not many people who are dissatisfied because of forced work.

Now that the people are in place, the next step is the production of the bricks of the city wall. This can be said to be very lucky, because the border state is sparsely populated due to geographical reasons, and the nutrients of the land are absorbed by the border forests, which leads to the soil suitable for firing masonry.

The reason why Yongle City was called Lishi Town before was precisely because there were many stone mountains around, and it was very convenient as a quarry.

Therefore, lime, as one of the important materials, is relatively easy to make. Next, as long as you mix lime and brick soil according to the ratio of the previous life city wall bricks, you can make city wall bricks.

There is no problem with the bricks of the city wall, but the adhesive used to stack them is not easy to get, if it is made according to the ancient method, then it can be made with clay batter or something, but this strength is not up to Shelley's requirements.

To achieve the strength and stability she needs, cement is definitely the first choice.

But although lime, clay, and iron ore are used to make cement, there is less coal, which is one of the reasons why Shelley went to Canterlot to focus on coal mines.

Of course, Shelley knew in his heart that these problems would not be the only ones to build such a large wall. Sure enough, in these days of his absence, trouble broke out. Ambiguous 43

The production speed of lime is too slow, and there are not enough caves to burn bricks. And the fundamental problem is that, according to the wall map given by Shelley, the demand for these bricks is not ordinarily large, and although thousands of workers have been assigned to make them overnight, the efficiency is still too slow.

If this goes on for decades, it will not be possible to build a city wall of that scale.

Faced with these questions raised by Lao Liu, Lao Mu and others, Shelley asked without any fluctuation: "Well, have you thought about how to solve these problems?" ”

"This ......"

The crowd was a little embarrassed, and it was obvious that they were going to throw the problem out and leave it to Shelley to solve.

Shelley, who understood their minds, began to look difficult: "I remember I once said that I encourage innovation and like people who use their brains, for which I can give out bonuses, what?" Doesn't that motivate you to use your own brains to think about problems? Without me, are you nothing? ”

Shelley had foreseen these problems before he left, and the reason why he didn't say anything about them was to see if they could try to solve the problem on their own, even if it was just to come up with an idea.

Unfortunately, she was very disappointed in the results, and the conformism of these guys was really beyond her imagination.

In the face of Shelley's questioning, the people in charge lowered their heads and did not dare to look at her.

On the other hand, Morley seemed to think of something, and leaned over to Shelley's side and said, "Your Royal Highness, in the past few days of your absence, a young man has come to you several times, saying that there is a way to speed up the production of city wall bricks. ”

Mo Li's words immediately reminded the sixth child, and he patted his brain: "Yes, yes, yes, there is such a person, but Your Royal Highness the Princess, I don't think there is any need to believe him." ”

Lao Mu on the side also agreed: "That's right, this person didn't obey the arrangement from the beginning, didn't work, and always tinkered with some strange things, which is really not a proper job." ”

Listening to the words of the two, for some reason, Doyle on the side suddenly looked strange, and a bad premonition rose in his heart.

When Shelley heard this, his eyes lit up. Tinkering with things and not doing business, isn't this a proper genius setting? Maybe someone actually made something.

"Doyle, go get this guy for me."

"Uh...... This ......"

"What's wrong? Can't find it? It can't be, isn't it everyone's information logged in? ”

Doyle replied with some awkwardness, "No...... No, Your Highness Princess, this person doesn't need to go out of his way to find him, I know him, he is my wife's younger brother. ”

"Since it's your brother-in-law, isn't it better to find, hurry up and call over."

"Actually, I also think that he is not doing his job, and he is usually really crazy, so I am afraid that I will make you angry by calling him."

Shelley laughed: "This kind of people's world, it is normal for ordinary people not to understand, there is a line between geniuses and madmen, as for which side it is, I have to see it myself to know, go and call it, rest assured, no matter what he does, I will not blame you." ”

"This ...... Okay, you wait, I'll go call him. ”
