For cement, Zhao Hengyi originally planned to promote it.

Zhao Hengyi, who is a man of two lives, knows very well that the emergence of cement will inevitably change the appearance of the world, and he cannot make a profit from cement, nor does he disdain to make that little money.

The cement that many big dogs saw was only picked up by Zhao Hengyi on the construction site before he set off, and the advantages of cement in building embankments are far more than just sturdy.

The county magistrate Liu Rui showed great sincerity, as the parent official of Dangyang County, in front of all the gentry promised to work for endowment will never break his word, and the promise of everyone to help, once there is some slack, then Liu Rui will take punishment or retaliation, will also break through the past hello, I am good, everyone is good The situation and bottom line.

In the Great Yan Kingdom, if you want to govern the place, you must rely on those intertwined gentry class, which Liu Rui knows very well, and it is precisely because of this that he will show so much sincerity in order to repair the river embankment.

The cement that Zhao Hengyi took out gave the gentry class the hope of building a strong embankment.

The gentry class is a relatively pure group of people in this world, they are greedy and shrewd, and they can't completely impress them by just substituting their work, and if it weren't for Zhao Hengyi and cement, these guys would most likely not be able to work.

Everyone's interests were temporarily tied together, and the big dogs treated Liu Rui more respectfully, and Liu Rui and Liu County ordered to strike while the iron was hot and set up a flood control headquarters, and the location was tentatively located at a dilapidated temple near the sharp bend where the risk of breaking the embankment was greatest.

Each family must send one or two useful manpower, and throughout the flood control period, they must follow Liu Rui and keep the news with each family smooth at any time.

At the same time, in the whole territory of Dangyang County, the embankment that stretches for more than 60 miles is divided into a bid section, and each big dog is responsible for a bid section, and must always pay attention to the changes in the water potential of the Liuhe River.

The entire Dangyang County was mobilized, and every household mobilized the people to go to the river embankment to guard, and for a while, the miscellaneous officials of the county government were miserable!

Not only did these guys take the risk of accompanying the county commander Liu Rui to stay in the most dangerous places, but they also had to lead the men to constantly patrol the river embankment.

If the river embankment really bursts, even if these guys are alive, the county magistrate who is guarding the flood control headquarters renovated by the broken temple will definitely not be able to escape!

Think about it, even if these guys can survive, their own subjectivity, the county order of a county is washed away by the flood, what kind of situation will greet them?

I'm afraid that these miscellaneous officials will all be settled by Shangguan after the autumn!

Don't look at Liu Rui when he was in the capital, because his mentor was not treated by everyone, but seriously, he died under the flood because of flood control, then the entire civil and official system will thoroughly investigate Dangyang County!

It can't be said to be revenge for Liu Rui, it just shows the attitude of the entire civilian system.

I don't know how many times something like this has happened in the Great Yan Kingdom, and if it weren't for this, it would not have been possible for the generals and nobles to bow down.

If the flood control is not effective, the river embankment bursts, Liu Rui survived, if God is unkind, manpower is difficult to resist natural disasters, there is no big problem, it is nothing more than the people suffered, and the big families suffered losses.

But if it is because the miscellaneous officials are not dedicated enough, the county magistrate Liu Rui will inevitably hold everyone accountable afterwards, and these miscellaneous officials who do not enter the stream, once the county magistrate complains to the imperial court, then it is almost a catastrophe.

These miscellaneous officials are also powerful figures in the county on weekdays, but now they are all on the river embankment, and they have to accompany the county commander Liu Rui to roll in the muddy water, if there is no complaint in the bottom of his heart, it is absolutely impossible.

These guys are different from the big dog families, they don't have any property outside the county, and even if there is a real flood, they won't hurt the slightest if they hide in the county.

It's just that the current situation is stronger than the people, and the enthusiasm of the gentry class has been mobilized, and the county magistrates are of the same mind, and the miscellaneous officials in the middle position have to do their best.

After all, Dangyang County is still the county magistrate Liu Rui has the final say, and there is gossip in the secret that the incoming Jiangling Mansion Yin Nai is the senior brother of Liu County Commander!

For contributing cement, Zhao Hengyi is not just talking.

Not only did he make the formula of the cement public, but he also sent people back to Elm Bay to bring a few truckloads of finished products.

As if God intended to give everyone in Dangyang County a chance to breathe, the light rain that had been falling for several days suddenly stopped, although the sky was still overcast, but after all, the people who were patrolling the embankment outside did not need to wear hats and robes.

Thick rain shelters were erected on the frame of the cement truck, and the loaded sacks were also treated with moisture.

The cement was sent directly to the ruined temple that served as the flood control headquarters, and Zhao Hengyi wanted to demonstrate how to use the cement on the spot, so that the big dogs could really do their best to build the river embankment.

It is as delicate as fried noodles, but once it is stained with a little water, it becomes a sticky paste, and the officials and big families surrounding the cement look at each other, not knowing how to use the cement.

Zhao Hengyi asked people to directly take gravel and gravel, mix it with cement in a ratio of one to one to three, add one-third of the cement amount of water, and then start mixing!

The construction site of Elm Bay has never stopped, and a large number of skilled workers and experience have been accumulated, and the person in charge of mixing is obviously a veteran, who deliberately sells off in front of the owner, and is very talented in acting......

Officials and big families talked a lot, and the most surprising thing for those who knew how to do it was that they could use gravel!

You know, when building a river embankment, the most annoying thing is gravel.

Once there are too many of these things, it will cause the river embankment to leak, resulting in an undercurrent, and in serious cases, it will hollow out the embankment from a very deep place under the water surface, causing a large section to collapse!

This kind of undercurrent, even if it is discovered, if you want to block it, you have to rely on human life to fill it!

It was the first time everyone had seen the cement, as for the effect, no one knew it, although they had doubts about the gravel, the Zhao Dongjia said that it was okay, it was intentional, and everyone had to wait to see the results.

If gravel really works well in cement...... Then just consumables can save countless manpower and material resources!

The cooperation between skilled workers does not need the command of the owner, in fact, Zhao Hengyi is a layman in front of the construction workers he has trained.

Someone next to him took the initiative to start digging a trench in the ground, and when the concrete was mixed, the trench was completed, perfect.

Half a foot thick concrete is laid, and workers spread irregular stones of various forms on the concrete, and then pour a layer of concrete, a layer of stone and a layer of concrete...... A moment later, a stone wall appeared in front of everyone!
