On the roof of the two-story building, Zhu Yuan listened to the emotion of his ancestors, and once again recited someone's extreme pragmatism in his heart, while saying: "Ancestors, these are just the most basic, in addition to the advantages of solid and durable cement buildings, in my opinion, the biggest advantage is that high-rise buildings can be built, so as to maximize the use of land space." ”

Saying this, Zhu Yuan also signaled to the surroundings: "Ancestors, don't look at the fact that there are still many vacant spaces around us, but when we enter a new era, the population of the same area may increase by five or six times, or even, more than ten times. When the time comes, we will have to build high-rise buildings to ensure the needs of the people for housing, industry and commerce. ”

Lao Zhu heard his baby twenty-third grandson say a lot of things in the future, and he was not too surprised, but Chang Yuchun on the side couldn't help but sigh: "Ten times...... Wouldn't that have a population of tens of millions, how many people are there in total in our Ming Dynasty now? ”

Zhu Yuan looked at Chang Yuchun with a smile and replied: "General, if you have read my book "The Science of Economics", which has a 'population trend chart of the Chinese dynasties', and if you associate it with that map, you can find that it is not impossible for the population of the Ming Dynasty to exceed 100 million, 200 million, 500 million or even 1 billion in the future. If the population can reach 1 billion, it is normal for a city to have a population of 10 million. ”

Chang Yuchun recalled the curve chart he had seen before, and he probably knew it.

In that picture, in the Xia and Shang periods, the population was only one-tenth of what it is now, only a few million. By the time of the Song Dynasty, the combined population of the Han hometowns such as Song, Liao, and Xia had reached 150 million.

Now, after years of war and plague, the population of this land may only be about 50 million.

Chang Yuchun didn't have any college questions, and he pondered a little, but he also saw a bit of 'vicissitudes of life' from that picture.

Li Shanchang on the other side of Lao Zhu waited for the two of them to finish speaking, and did not subconsciously question it, but said in a puzzled tone: "Pingzhang, gather tens of millions of people in one city, not to mention the risks, is it necessary to do this?" ”

Zhu Yuan turned to Lao Li and said patiently: "This is not a necessary and unnecessary question, but the choice of the times." In the current agricultural era, the decentralized nature of the small-scale peasant economy doomed the people to live in a dispersed manner. Then, in the industrial age, for example, on the quarrying side, a large steel factory, together with the surrounding industries, we have allocated more than 100,000 craftsmen in the past, which is equivalent to the population of a medium-sized city. So, can we disperse them? The answer is no. This is because these people have to be gathered as much as possible in order to be able to produce around the steel plant more efficiently. On the other hand, if these people are scattered over a vast area of tens of miles, and some people want to work, and they have to spend one or two hours a day just on the road, then don't talk about efficiency. Therefore, the best option is to house the workers within a quarter of an hour of the factory, and given the size of 100,000 people, some things would not be possible without building a building where one house can accommodate many households. Then, Zuoxiang, let's make the same point, if there are a lot of factories, you need a lot of gathering areas, to a certain extent, 10 million people, and you will have it. ”

Zhu Yuan said, gestured around again, and said with a smile: "Before everyone came, I chatted with Ambassador Shen, and just mentioned that this side is becoming more and more like an industrial zone, what is an industrial zone, that is, many factories gather, paper, brick, glass, cement, machinery, pen making, etc., etc., and it is still increasing. Therefore, it is conceivable that it is only a matter of time before this area increases from 100,000 now to 1 million in the future. ”

Zhu Yuan said a lot, and Lao Li was deflated again.

Lao Zhu listened carefully to what his precious twenty-third grandson said, turned to Li Shanchang, and said with a smile: "Baifang, if you have any doubts, just ask him, this child is difficult." ”

Lao Li hurriedly agreed.

But in my heart I was even more depressed.

Because, Lao Zhu's subtext is actually: Lao Li, if you want to find fault and find fault with a teenager, you will only be bored, so don't bother.

Euphemistically persuaded the old ministers around him, and Lao Zhu did not forget a certain word casually mentioned by his precious twenty-third grandson: "Yuan'er, this 'industrial zone', I have heard you say it before, let's talk about it now?" ”

"Ancestor, the industrial area, is simple and simple, just like the surrounding area, the gathering area of various factories." Zhu Yuan said: "However, it is also complicated, because it will involve the positioning planning of a city and even the industrial development tendency of a country. For example, next, we must first develop steel, then, in the industrial zone, there will be more steel-related facilities. Then, the industry will continue to upgrade, the high energy consumption and high pollution attributes of steel will affect the urban environment, and the focus of the industrial zone must be changed, probably, to a more high-end machinery manufacturing, and the old-school steel industry, will be migrated. ”

Zhu Yuan just said casually, but Lao Zhu understood, nodded and said: "I understand a little, you mean to say, what should this country focus on developing, and in which direction should this industrial zone be used." Not...... It's still what you just said, to ...... Well, to be efficient? ”

"That's right," Zhu Yuan said, "The purpose of the industrial zone is to concentrate resources and improve efficiency, so as to promote the better development of the corresponding industries." The ancestor is worthy of being the ancestor, in a word. ”

Lao Zhu smiled: "I also heard a lot from your kid." ”

After saying a few words, Lao Zhu turned to the front again: "This looks pretty good on the surface, but I don't know what is going on the inside, what did you do last time...... Test, test it again and show it to me? ”

Lao Zhu also knew about the last test.

His Majesty the Emperor said this, Zhu Yuan was nothing, but Shen Quan, the ambassador of the Cement Bureau, was a little worried, and noticed that Anren, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, also looked over, and was even more worried for a while. The cement slabs here are all poured with the best kind of cement made that time, and Shen Quan is still very confident in the quality.

Can......

What if?

Zhu Yuan saw Lao Zhu looking at him, nodded, thought about it and said, "Ancestor, last time it was a limit test, until it was broken." This time, a good small building, or don't collapse, just stand and take a look, for example, the roof of this building, full of stands, if it's okay, it's no problem? ”

Lao Zhu looked at the roof area equivalent to three houses around him and nodded: "That's it." ”

Seeing that Lao Zhu agreed, Shan Anren and Shen Quan were relieved.

Last time......

The prefabricated board, the smallest one, is no problem when it is full of people, and it will only crack if it is pressed with a weight of several thousand catties.

Now, with the same human test, it won't be too much of a problem.

Zhu Yuan signaled to the staircase: "Ancestor, let's go down first." ”

Everyone went downstairs as they spoke, standing three zhang away from the second-story building, Shen Quan went to greet the craftsman, and then encountered a problem.

For the safety of His Majesty the Emperor, the construction was only symbolically started, and there were only about twenty craftsmen in total.

Not enough.

Seeing this, Lao Zhu directly ordered, and soon, the guards in charge of His Majesty the Emperor's security were summoned.

You don't have to take off your armor or anything like that, just go up like that.

After a while, the roof of about 50 square meters was crowded with nearly 200 people, and from the bottom up, it was densely packed, as if a house had sprouted.

Well.

Seeing this, Lao Zhu was already satisfied, but Zhu Yuan continued, instructing the people upstairs to jump, jump, and toss a cup of tea on all kinds of taps, except for some dust between movements, Xiaolou still did not move.

End of test.

Sending everyone away, Zhu Yuan cautiously asked Lao Zhu to wait here, and instructed Shen Quan and the others to check up and down to confirm that there was no sign of collapse and fracture before going upstairs again.

Standing on the top of the second floor again, Zhu Yuan said to Lao Zhu: "I estimate that it is no problem to directly build a five- or six-story building, no matter how high it is, it is not necessary, it is too troublesome to climb up and down." Ancestor, do you want to build a six-story building to see the effect? ”

Lao Zhu held on to the masonry railing in front of him, shook his head and smiled: "You said yes, that must be enough." Now you don't have to, let's go and build the laboratories of the various universities first, and the museums you say, these are the main ones. At the end of the year, the cement production will increase, and all kinds of warehouses in Miyagi will also be renovated, and then the grain depot, and there will be too many things, so don't waste it. ”

Zhu Yuan just said it, and he was not reluctant.

Building a six-story building may be rare in this era, but in Zhu Yuan's view, it is still sparse and ordinary.

Future......

When the cement production increases, if you want to do it, you can directly come to a 10-storey building.

It's covered, huh...... Admission is charged.

After all, Li Taibai's 'dangerous building is 100 feet high', a 100-foot tall building, that is, a 10-story level.

After looking at the effect of the two-story building here, I also did a simple test, and then there was nothing else.

His Majesty the Emperor once again urged this side to speed up production, and also gave priority to approving Dai Sanchun, who was very much looking forward to after seeing the results, to build the laboratory and other projects over there of the Medical University first, and planned to leave.

Zhu Yuan accompanied Lao Zhu downstairs, but he remembered it temporarily, and said to Shen Quan on the side: "Here, add a brick spire, and you can use it as a warehouse, a public house, or something, it's very good." ”

Shen Quan nodded in agreement.

Lao Zhu was puzzled again: "Why do you want to add a spire, I think this is square...... Pretty good too? ”

"It's still waterproof," Zhu Yuan said: "The cement poured bungalow, because of the thermal expansion and contraction, it is easy to produce micro cracks, usually not visible, and it will leak on rainy days, so it is best to add a layer of spires on it." ”

Lao Zhu knew what 'hot expansion and cold contraction' was, nodded when he heard the words, and said: "I always heard you praise it before, this cement ...... It's not perfect. ”

Zhu Yuan smiled: "Of course, there is nothing perfect in this world. ”

After leaving the cement workshop, Lao Zhu did not go to other specific destinations, but he did not return to the palace immediately, but walked around the gathering area of craftsmen and workshops, and looked everywhere until more than four o'clock in the afternoon, and then set off to return to the palace.

Zhu Yuan followed all the way, and this time he still arrived at the north shore of Xuanwu Lake, and went home early.

It's evening.

Enter through the back door of the mansion and go directly to the backyard of the inner house.

It was the young lady who greeted her.

My own adults lived outside for two days, and the woman couldn't go together, plus the previous incident, it was inevitable to think more, and it was very careless.

Zhu Yuan came to the West House here, took off his thick coat, did not walk to the couch inside, but sat down on a single sofa outside, and saw the young lady on the side with the maid busy looking around, smiled and patted the side: "Come." ”

The young lady answered, sat down on the armrest of the sofa, leaned over and asked, "Do you want to eat at night, and the slave will tell them to add it?"

Zhu Yuan felt the fragrance of the woman on the side, stretched out his hand to wrap his hand around the plump body of the young lady, and said with a smile: "Is it okay to eat you?" ”

The young lady's face immediately turned rosy.

Moved to the sofa along the manpower of his own adult, tried to support his body, and whispered: "Adult, slave...... Don't hold you down. ”

"Let's change it then."

Zhu Yuan got up slightly, replaced Qingniang to sit below, and sat in the woman's arms instead.

Well.

I have to say, a big woman, a little man...... It fits perfectly.

And then it's unbalanced.

How can we be such a macho person in a woman's arms.

was about to get up, but felt that her body was being embraced, the woman was not strong, but lingering, accompanied by soft begging: "Dad, Dad...... Slave ......"

All right.

Then don't move.

However, he still had to be tough on his lips, and turned his head sideways to the woman who carefully pasted his face and said, "Wasn't it enough to clean you up last time?" ”

"That's enough," Qing Niang said subconsciously, suddenly reacted, shook her head slightly, and rubbed her face against her little man's face: "No, it's not enough...... If the father likes it, the slave will die, and he will rejoice. ”

Zhu Yuan stretched out his hand and grabbed the woman's chin, turned his face sideways and said, "Life and death are such a big thing, don't always talk about it." ”

"Hmmm......"

Qingniang Xiaoxiao responded, feeling a certain concern from the little man, and couldn't help hugging the young man in her arms a little tighter.

Rumengling handed over the tea, Zhu Yuan took it, took a sip, and sent it to the side, the young lady wanted to refuse, paused, obediently opened her mouth, and took a sip before saying, "Dad, drink it." ”

Zhu Yuan handed the cup back to the maid on the side.

Seeing this, Qingniang paused, and whispered: "Why don't you call cherries and plantains to come over, or ...... Does Dad want Zhuang Liu'er? ”

"No, I'll wait for dinner."

Qingniang didn't continue, but she was bent on pleasing her, and continued: "Dad, this time the palace rewarded those ones again, and the slave saw it...... Or if there is something that Daddy likes, let them call to show Daddy. ”

This?

Zhu Yuan paused, and remembered that it was a batch of cherries and plantains this time, from Shuzhong.

I haven't seen it yet.

So he nodded: "Call me to take a look." ”

Qing Niang commanded, turned around and went out like a dream.

Thinking that an outsider was going to come over, the young lady was embarrassed at first, and then tired of it for a while, so she took the initiative to say: "Dad, let the slave get up......"

Zhu Yuan didn't want to let people go, but the current posture was also very discordant.

Motioned to the couch opposite: "Sit over there, remember a sentence, wake up to the power of the world, drunk and lying on the knees of beauty." I'm not too interested in holding the power of the world, and I can still give it a try on my drunken lap. ”

Qingniang hummed, helped her adult to get up first, and stood up by herself, while she couldn't help but say, "Dad...... You can't drink alcohol. ”

Zhu Yuan: "......"

Pushing the woman over, he raised his hand and gave a five-cent slap behind her: "Stupid." ”

"Boom......"

While talking here, Rumeng quickly brought a group of women over, perhaps to make up, including cherries and plantains.

And......

Compared with last time, because Lao Zhu casually explained, it would be more normal not to let his baby Twenty-third Sun Tai leave, but the result was a group of little girls such as sweet potatoes and potatoes, and Zhongli watermelon was more separated.

This...... Obviously, because there was no explanation, some people began to take the initiative to fit in the mode of pleasing the young man Pingzhang.

Anyway.

It's very charming, it's familiar, it's rhyme.

Zhu Yuan browsed and looked at it with great interest, and clicked on the most charming one: "Come, I'll take a look." ”

This is a woman with a good temperament that makes people unable to see her age, with a dignified face, full of a kind of long-term pampered nobility, just ...... At the moment, it is inevitable that there is a bit of sadness.

Hearing the words of the young man Pingzhang, the woman hesitated, but still stepped forward slowly, bowed down with a face: "The concubine Xu has seen an adult." ”

Zhu Yuan said that he was going to be drunk and lie on the beauties' knees, but he didn't lie down, but the young lady next to him snuggled softly on him, and patted the other side at this time: "Sit here." ”

Xu Shi glanced at the young lady next to the young man Pingzhang, hesitated for a short time, lowered his head, and finally stepped forward again and sat down on the left side of Zhu Yuan.

Zhu Yuan hugged him casually, feeling the woman's stiff slender waist, and suddenly just remembered and asked, "How old are you?" ”
