Soon after leaving Liu Tai from the Jingling Palace, Liu Tai took the initiative to find Cao Wei.

Because Liu Tai wanted to know how far the construction of Guanggu City was progressing.

And Cao Wei was actually waiting for Liu Tai on the side, and when he saw Liu Tai seeing him, he immediately greeted him and said, "I've seen the county prince." ”

"Uncle Cao, you have built the Jingling Hall very well this time, so that the soldiers who died in the battle have a home!" Liu Taidao.

"It's the benevolence of the county prince, if it weren't for the county prince, he wouldn't have built this Jingling Palace!" Cao Wei shook his head, couldn't help but look at the Jingling Hall in front of him, and couldn't help sighing, "It's unconsciously reassuring here, if I die one day, the county prince will also bury me here!" ”

"Oh?" Liu Tai smiled and said, "When the time comes, Uncle Cao and I will join me to fight into the Nine Shadows to be the king of Hades, which seems to be good!" ”

When Cao Wei heard Liu Tai's words, he shook his head and said, "I'm afraid that I can't accompany the county prince to fight, but if I build a city for the county prince, I am willing to do my best." ”

"Uncle Cao's words are serious!" Liu Tai said to Cao Wei, "By the way, how is the work process of Guanggu City?" ”

Cao Wei's expression was straight when he heard Liu Tai's words, and he said, "It will take at least two years to build Guanggu City."

This year's work is mainly to lay the foundation, and according to the military officer, it will take a long time to lay the foundation.

And the next city wall construction also needs to be reinforced, waterproof and fireproof, especially the rammed earth needs to be slow and meticulous, not fast! ”

Liu Tai heard Cao Wei's words, nodded thoughtfully, he understood a little, why those traversers went to get cement as soon as they came to ancient times, no way, how can this world be built without cement!

"There is no hurry to build it slowly, but the materials needed to build the city this year are listed in detail, and you need to give me a copy of the financial budget for next year at the end of the year, and this financial budget will determine the financial allocation for next year.

By the way, in addition, since the preliminary planning of Guanggu City has been completed, let Guo Pu survey the river from Guanggu City to the Bohai Sea, see if the river can be widened, and if so, how much conscription and materials are needed, let him give me a number! Liu Tai instructed Cao Wei.

"Good!" Cao Wei heard Liu Tai's words, and hurriedly agreed, after all, if you do engineering, how can you do it if you don't ask for money.

"By the way, you experiment, add a scaffolding structure forged of steel to the inside of the rammed earth, just like we humans have bones, and we also add bones to the rammed earth to see if we can increase the structural toughness of the building!"

Liu Taidao, "It's okay to do experiments and try this idea first, after all, this Guanggu City can't tolerate any loss." ”

Although Liu Tai did not come out of civil engineering, he also knew about reinforced concrete, but in Liu Tai's impression, the steel and concrete can cooperate well because the expansion coefficient of the two seems to be about the same, thus forming a new stress structure.

As for whether the steel bar is suitable for rammed earth, so as to fully reinforce the building, it needs to be tested.

"No!" Cao Wei heard Liu Tai's occasional whimsy, but he also recorded it first and gave it a try.

Cao Wei's work mode on Liu Tai's side Cao Wei gradually became familiar with it, knowing that Liu Tai would occasionally come up with some wonderful ideas.

Of course, the most important thing is Liu Tai's money model, any project Liu Tai has formulated an economic budget, and then according to the annual share to design into several phases of the project, there will generally be a 10% surplus.

If there is more, it is easy to say that the time will be used for a surprise attack, but if there is no money, then it will definitely come to carefully investigate where the money is spent, and there will always be a reason for how much.

Liu Tai knows that as long as the money is put down, it will definitely not be enough, and the indiscriminate issuance of currency is a century problem that cannot be solved in the 21st century.

Liu Tai said that if the money was spent in advance, he would send someone to investigate the accounts.

Under such circumstances, it is much more convenient to deal with these corrupt officials by themselves, and it is not the kind of pig-raising policy that makes them clear, but purely for the purpose of cutting out some vacant official positions to install the soldiers who are discharged from the army every year to the grassroots level.

It's just that they set up the rules first, and when the time comes, they don't have any burden to cut and kill themselves when they are corrupt.

Of course, if he took Wang Jun down before the entire Qingzhou position, then Liu Tai would have no interest in cleaning up any dirt.

After all, a positive force can cover up most of the problems by itself, and if you take the initiative to crack down, it will be as if the buggy code that was originally running normally has been modified by yourself, and the result will be problems.

And Liu Tai's model, Cao Wei is still a little unaccustomed, but he has Guo Pu by his side, Guo Pu's computing ability is still very good, as long as Cao Wei does not want to be corrupt, then the whole project Cao Wei can still control.

As for asking Guo Pu to complete the survey of the river in the early stage, Cao Wei thought about it, what is so difficult about it.

Isn't it just adding a burden to Guo Pu, this is the organization attaches importance to Guo Pu, I believe he will definitely be very happy to accept it.

Liu Tai learned about the progress of Guanggu City, and thought of his unsatisfactory technical chief engineer Xie Fei.

To be honest, Xie Fei was busy enough with the things at hand.

The refining technology of coal and iron ore requires the constant follow-up of a team under his command.

What Liu Tai said about blast furnace steelmaking, the blast furnace is already experimenting, but I don't know when the results will be produced.

But this must be invested, after all, steel is such a thing, that is the purest embodiment of national strength.

It's like the bronze tripod is a symbol of royal power in ancient times, you can use bronze to make tripods, and more are used to make weapons, if Liu Tai will unify the world in the future, you can think about whether you can use steel to create a spectacle.

Then he asked Xie Fei for a team to update the spinning machine, that is, the pedal spinning wheel.

The external conditions of this technology, as well as the accumulation of technology throughout the era, have accumulated to a great extent.

Maybe even in the remote Jiangnan area, the pedal spinning wheel has been invented.

Because the earliest pedal spinning wheel can be seen in history, it appeared in a painting by Gu Kaizhi of the Eastern Jin Dynasty.

At least the appearance of this thing is not an uncommon thing for the people of the Eastern Jin Dynasty.

In addition to this, he also asked him to send people to build docks in each county and county, and inspect the ships for the people free of charge.

Of course, although the inspection is free, the repair costs money, but generally after pointing out what is wrong with the ship, or how it should be repaired, these people basically choose to repair the ship themselves, rather than hand it over to the dockyard to repair.

Liu Tai didn't say anything about this, after all, the lower the people, the more they will care about the little money and food in their hands.

Because this little bit of money and food that can almost be ignored by the upper class, for the people at the bottom, it may be the last straw that crushes the camel, and Liu Tai also acquiesced.

After all, his purpose was to encourage the people to go out to sea to fish, and to meet the surprise attack plan of his own ships.

As for making money, before the ships were decommissioned and sold to the people to do offshore fishing, Liu Tai felt that it would not be easy for him to make money by arranging the construction of these docks.

However, they were idle, so Liu Tai came to Xie Fei and prepared to find something to do for them!

"Meet the Princess!" Xie Fei saw Liu Tai, although he didn't know why, every time Liu Tai saw Fei, he felt that the dark circles in Xie Fei's eyes were a little darker.

But Liu Tai believes that as a qualified tool person, Xie Fei is absolutely willing to fight for the cause of the revival of the Han Dynasty.

So Liu Tai said to Xie Fei, "I need you to do something next!" ”

"Please also ask the county lord to command!" Xie Fei didn't hesitate when he saw Liu Tai, and answered first as soon as possible.

As a craftsman, he is so valued by Liu Tai, and he has a lot of resources and even power in his hands.

If Liu Tai hadn't attached importance to himself, he would have looked up to a craftsman who had no other skills at all except for his skills!

So in Liu Tai's team, Xie Fei is the one with the most zero zero seven.

Especially when a lot of manpower and material resources were invested and there was no way to meet Liu Tai's requirements, Xie Fei was even more afraid that Liu Tai would lose his current position because of his incompetence.

Liu Tai looked at Xie Fei, and instructed Xie Fei quite usually, "Do you know siege weapons such as thunderbolts and catapults?" ”

"Xie Fei knows!" Xie Fei nodded again and again, "My subordinates have been looking through the mechanism skills of the siege equipment in recent days.

If the general hunts Youzhou in the north next time, and brings Xie Fei with him, Xie Fei will definitely make the siege weapons that the general needs! ”

Liu Tai glanced at Xie Fei, and it was obvious that in Xie Fei's opinion, he didn't take Youzhou because he was not good at attacking cities, so he was stopped by Rongcheng.

I didn't think that I was just in the mood to give it a try and test Youzhou.

However, Liu Tai did not explain in too much detail, but was a little surprised by Xie Fei.

You have a lot of work on you, and you still have time to study siege weapons, obviously Xie Fei knows that he is stopping under Rongcheng, so he guesses that he will ask about siege affairs, and he must have secretly studied in private!

Liu Tai smiled slightly, as a boss, he likes this kind of volume king, and Xie Fei in front of him seems to have the potential to become a volume king.

Such a technician who wants to improve, even if his ability to invent and create is a little worse, Liu Tai is happy to entrust him with important tasks.

Liu Tai said, "You have this idea very much to my liking, but the most important thing is not to delve into siege weapons but to dismantle siege weapons!" ”

"Dismantling siege weapons?" Xie Fei heard Liu Tai's words, but he couldn't help but be stunned, a little at a loss.

Liu Tai explained, "I want to disassemble and disassemble the engineering equipment, and each part should be at least put to the point where the wheelbarrow or board cart can pull it, and when we attack the city, we can completely send the parts to the battlefield from the rear and put these equipment together."

At the same time, these siege engines are very vulnerable to attack on the battlefield, and can damage a large area in a short time.

And the accessories of the same specification can completely remove the accessories of the damaged siege weapon and use them as spare parts! ”

"This, this, this?" When Xie Fei heard Liu Tai's words, he couldn't help but ponder, these things were something he hadn't thought about!

To tell the truth, if Liu Tai hadn't withdrawn the unified weights and measures by measuring mercury, this method would have been given to other princes, and those princes would not have been able to do it if they wanted to.

Why Qin Shi Huang is great, isn't it that he really achieved the word unification.

"Can't do it?" Liu Tai looked at Xie Fei's appearance and couldn't help but wonder.

"Definitely, surely!" Xie Fei replied decisively when he heard Liu Tai's words, but Xie Fei said to Liu Tai,

"However, the more complex the device, the more difficult it is to disassemble it according to the method you mentioned.

Therefore, if you want to come up with such siege equipment in a short time, the engineering distance will be closer than normal engineering equipment.

Of course, Fei will work hard to improve, and it will definitely live up to the trust of the county government! ”

"Hmm!" Liu Tai nodded and said, "Next year at the latest, or this year at the earliest, maybe there will be another war, so at most I will give you a month to modularize these siege equipment."

I will set up a special production factory according to the spare parts you provide, do you have any problems! ”

"It's still a month away!" Hearing Liu Tai's words, Xie Fei breathed a sigh of relief and said decisively to Liu Tai, "Please rest assured that Fei will definitely complete the task." ”

Liu Tai nodded, at the beginning of the disassembly, Liu Tai believes that it is relatively easy.

After all, I don't ask for dismantling to the point where I can lift it as long as it is a person, as long as I can push it with a small cart and a board cart, it is enough to disassemble it on this scale.

However, if the siege weapons need to be further dismantled and refined in the future, then it will be a headache for Xie Fei at that time.

As for now, Xie Fei only needs to solve this step.

After all, the terrain of the North China Plain is relatively flat, and at most it is just to cross a river, so you don't need to worry about climbing mountains.

Otherwise, the idea of dismantling these things by land and transporting them is not a dream.

However, Xie Fei didn't know the plan for the sea attack, so when he planned it, he must have made it according to the land transportation.

That is to say, at the final dock where your sea fleet needs to be replenished, you also need to prepare some land transport, so as to avoid the problem of these things being unloaded from the sea and having no land vehicles to transport them.

Thinking of this, Liu Tai said to Xie Fei, "By the way, you open up another group to study one thing." ”

"Please also ask the county lord to command!" Xie Fei hurriedly said respectfully.

"Have people get some shells, grind them into powder, mix them with clay and sand and stuff like that, and see if they can make a material that is sticky when it meets water and sticks to things like clay when it dries." Liu Tai said to Xie Fei.

Liu Tai naturally knows that the cement made by this method is definitely the worst of the inferior, but in any case, it is very good in this era, and then find a way to replace the materials inside.

"Okay, I'll go back and tell me to go down." Xie Fei replied to Liu Tai.

Today, you don't have to wait
