After the autumn rain, Wang Duliu took his disciples and rode to Linjiazhuang.
Lin Wanwan packed up and followed them into the mountains to select a site and measure the land. In order to speed up the construction, Lin Wanwan directly moved cement from Hyundai.
Anyway, Xiao Chong, the largest official in Luan County, already knows his secret. The sky is high here and the emperor is far away, and he is hiding in the mountains. Lin Wanwan is naturally not afraid of anything.
Wang Duliu looked at the cement that Lin Wanwan took out, and after understanding how to use it, he was simply stunned.
There are such magical and useful building materials in this world. Compared with building masonry walls, their strength is weaker, but they are faster.
Lin Wanwan does not use cement entirely. Cement is only a filling supplement. Naturally, the main structure still has to be built with masonry.
A quarry was blasted out of the mountain and materials were obtained locally.
In modern times, it is difficult to get explosives to blow up mountains, but it is also very simple. All you need is money and knowledge.
In fact, this kind of thing is not strictly controlled. It is just like gun modification. It is not difficult, but the consequences are serious, and most people will not do it.
But since Lin Wanwan got it from Datang, it won't leave any traces in modern times, and she's not afraid anymore.
Since an armed base is to be built in the mountains, it cannot be a brick and wood structure. A lot of stones are needed.
Although brick and wood structures were most commonly used in the homes of nobles in the Tang Dynasty and were the most charming and beautiful, they were not strong enough and were not as reliable as bricks and stones.
What Lin Wanwan wanted was a bunker that could protect people, not a resort for luxury and enjoyment.
She not only moved cement here, but also steel bars.
The things were bought to the rural warehouse rented by Hyundai, and then moved bit by bit to the Datang Mountains, and Buqu and Kunlun slaves were sent to carry them to the base.
Wangdu was already accustomed to Lin Wanwan's wealth. When she built her own house, she covered it with colored glaze from the Hu merchants on the dock. Not only were the windows covered with colored glaze, but she also built a colored glaze flower room similar to the Crystal Palace.
These modern steel bars and cement are naturally very special to Wangdu materials that have invaded construction for many years.
Steel bars are okay, there were blacksmiths in the Tang Dynasty, so it’s not surprising that the craftsmen in the clan can make good things.
But cement is really unheard of and unseen.
Fortunately, even if Wang Duliu has doubts, he will not ask too many questions. He knows how to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages. He has his own concerns about what should be asked and what should not be asked.
When Lin Wanwan was boldly building the foundation and outline of the base with steel bars and large stones, Xiao Chong came over to inspect.
Fortunately, he brought two silly attendants this time instead of his clan brothers and cousins. Otherwise, if Dugu Di, Xiao Ce and Xiao Chong were three smart people here, Lin Wanwan wouldn't be able to hide it.
.
Xiao Chong looked at the scene in front of him and said to Lin Wanwan: "Cousin, you are too bold."
Lin Wanwan put on a smile and changed the subject: "How come my cousin is here?"
Xiao Chong squatted down and looked at the mixed cement, and asked without answering: "Is this the cement written in that military-civilian dual-use book?"
"The book even mentions cement?" Lin Wanwan had never read the book, and she did not expect to cover such a wide range of topics.
Xiao Chong smiled and looked down at the cement in deep thought.
After a moment, he stood up and said to Lin Wanwan: "Cousin, I'm going to have a few words with Wang Duliu. Please watch your step."
After saying this and bowing, he strode towards the depths of the construction site.
Lin Wanwan looked at Xiao Chong's back, knowing in her heart that he was going to Wang Duliu to discuss construction matters. There should be information about trenches and so on in the two books on military and civilian use and militia training.
Xiao Chong wants to use his own base for practice.
But Lin Wanwan didn't care. There would never be any problems with the plan discussed by Xiao Chong and Wang Duliu.
She still trusts this point.
However, she saw that after Xiao Chong said a few words to Wang Duliu, the two of them headed outside the construction site.
"Hey, what are you doing?" Lin Wanwan secretly wondered. When the two people almost disappeared from her eyes, she suddenly realized, "We are going to see the quarry!"
In the quarry, Lin Wanwan got explosives to blow up the mountain. Xiao Chong must have asked Wang Duliu where he got so many stones, and Wang Duliu told him that they had blown up the mountain.
Xiao Chong himself has been studying the matter of explosives for a long time. He is probably more interested in it than architecture. After hearing this, there is no reason not to go and take a look.
Lin Wanwan was not afraid of others looking at her. Since she did not avoid Wang Duliu and the others when she brought these things, she naturally did not avoid Xiao Chong.
However, Lin Wanwan guessed something wrong. It was not Wang Duliu who took the initiative to bring up the matter of mountain bombing and quarrying, but Xiao Chong deceived him into doing so.
The sound of mountain explosions is similar to that of thunder. Autumn thunder can easily attract the attention of interested people. Xiao Chong's spy network around Luang County is beyond ordinary people's imagination.
How could such a big movement escape his ears and eyes?
Seeing both of them walking away, Lin Wanwan didn't wait there, turned around and left with her maid and Bu Qu.
She doesn't know how to build and has no interest in learning. She just comes to see the progress and care about it.
Now instead of taking Hong Yan and others with her when she goes out, she takes Liu Rushi and two other women who are good at martial arts, as well as Kunlun and the armed tribe. The formation is very large.
However, this was also the norm for Tang nobles to go out. Lin Wanwan was just doing as the Romans did.
She is also afraid of encountering an accident and being unable to cope with it.
The day before yesterday, someone from Lujiazhuang came to report that a stranger was inquiring about her, which aroused Lin Wanwan's alarm.
Lin Wanwan, as the well-known Lord of Le'an Township from all over the country, and being so wealthy, must pay attention to her own safety.
As long as the common people in the neighborhood don't know anything about her situation, they will all listen to her legend.
Of course the people who come to inquire are people with ulterior motives from outside.
Ever since he rescued Patriarch Lu's eldest son, Lu Jiazhuang, who was tied to the interests of Lin Jiazhuang, completely became Lin Wanwan's supporter.
That is to say, they are not as tough as the Linjiazhuang people. If anyone dared to come to Linjiazhuang to pry their heads, they would have been arrested by the clan members long ago.
However, although the people in Lujiazhuang are not as courageous as those in Linjiazhuang, they will naturally come and report immediately when they know that someone is asking about Lin Wanwan.
So now Lin Wanwan brings enough escorts when she travels, and she also carries a sleeve crossbow and a pistol with her. As for the nail gun, Lin Wanwan gave it to Kunlun, whom she trusted most.
With her and Kunlun's two guns in hand, Lin Wanwan was not afraid of ordinary martial arts practitioners. She could protect herself even if she couldn't kill the enemy.
Coupled with the heroine in the Xingluo organization who can fly over walls and walls, she is now very confident in security.
Lin Wanwan also assigned a person from Xingluo to teach the children martial arts. Of course, not every child has a talent for martial arts, so they should be taught according to their aptitude.
Among the ten children Lin Wanwan brought back from Qiongzhou, there are three good seedlings for martial arts, and they have been trained intensively.
There is a teacher in the school who teaches riding and archery, who was borrowed by Xiao Chong. But he only comes once or twice a week, so it is not convenient for someone from Xingluo.
