Chapter 243 Dong Zhuo: The tortoise came out of Luoshui, carrying the magic recipe of cement! (Two i
While Liu Cheng was sitting in Guanzhong, personally arranging and presiding over the affairs of rehabilitating the people, Liu Shui also led his people, and according to Liu Cheng's previous detailed instructions, a cement field was built in Yushan, Lantian, and began to produce cement continuously.
Well, this Lantian is the same Lantian where the sun is warm and the jade is smokey.
There is not only jade here, but also large-scale limestone.
Even after Liu Shui heard his elder brother's words, "The sun warms the sky and the jade creates smoke," he made some inquiries and couldn't find anyone named Lan Tian.
The woman named Nuanyu was also not found, let alone the child named Yan...
There isn't even a corresponding legend.
I really don’t know where my brother heard this sentence from...
Liu Shui thought with a bit of a smirk...
Sure enough, when the young men reached the appropriate age, they were able to develop some ideas without any teacher, and knew a lot of knowledge that they didn't know before...
Fortunately, his teacher Cai Yong didn't know Liu Shui's thoughts. If he knew, he would roar loudly and beat the shit out of Liu Shui!
After testing, the cement produced by the Yushan Cement Factory built under the Taobao brand is not generally good.
And Dong Zhuo, for some unknown reason, issued a strict order from the beginning not to reveal the news about Yushan Cement.
Only let Yushan produce cement here.
After the cement production and storage in Yushan reached a certain level, Dong Zhuo summoned the civil and military forces and directly announced that he was going to build the palace and the dock.
Yiwu is a large residence that Dong Zhuo plans to build for himself.
As soon as such news came out, people like Wang Yun and Xun Shuang in the court were immediately shocked.
Only Cai Yong lowered his head and remained silent.
These people quickly dissuaded him.
Dissuasion without emotion and rationality will not succeed.
After all, the capital has just been moved to Chang'an. Under Liu Cheng's desperate efforts to mobilize a large number of manpower, a large number of people have been gradually resettled.
The big rocks that weighed on many people's hearts fell to the ground.
As a result, Dong Zhuo clearly told everyone at this time that he was going to start a large-scale construction project!
Faced with such a thing, how can these people not be anxious?!
Can't you stay peacefully and honestly for a while?
Why do we have to make one big move after another, causing one wave after another?
Dong Zhuo really feels uncomfortable if he doesn't do anything big for a day!
Wang Yun, Xun Shuang and others could not help but curse in their hearts.
It's okay to build a palace for the emperor. This is what should be done, but Dong Zhongying takes the opportunity to build a palace for himself. What does it mean?
How to build it together with the palace?
Of course, they would not say these words directly.
Nowadays, after Dong Zhuo's bloodbaths one after another, those who remain are rarely as hard-hearted when it comes to speaking and doing things. They all adopt tactful and roundabout ways to persuade Dong Zhuo and express themselves.
opinions.
"...The people are exhausted today. Following the order of the Prime Minister, Uncle Liu spent a lot of manpower and material resources to resettle the people, and initial results have been achieved. If there is a large-scale construction project at this time, I am afraid that the people will be plunged into turmoil again, which will make the Prime Minister's previous actions
All my efforts have come to nothing..."
Situ Wang Yun stood by Dong Zhuo's side sincerely and analyzed Dong Zhuo's case.
Sikong Xunshuang also stood up and said: "The construction of the imperial palace and the construction of the Xiangguo Xiwu must be of high standard. Bricks, stones and wood are easier to talk about. They can be directly fired, mined and cut down.
But the rice slurry used in construction is a big problem.
This thing is food, which is extremely valuable.
I don’t know how much it will cost to build it.
It’s better to slow down for a while and wait until next year when the emperor’s farm fields are harvested, and then start construction, this will also give the people a break..."
After the two bosses spoke, the rest of the people followed suit, with words and tones that were not too intense.
And Dong Zhuo was surprisingly patient this time.
He just listened to what these people were saying here, and he did not directly tell everyone to shut up and settle the matter unilaterally like he did in the past.
This change in attitude made people like Wang Yunshuang and Xun Shuang feel very tired, their eyes lit up and their hearts were filled with joy.
There is a turning point in this matter today!
So, he racked his brains even more to think of reasons to persuade Dong Zhuo.
If you want Dong Zhuo to give up, at least the construction of Xiwu should be delayed, not at this juncture, and should be carried out together with the repair of the palace.
Of course, there are also some people who were attracted by Dong Zhuo, who sided with Dong Zhuo and acted against Wang Yun and others...
In the past, Dong Zhuo was most impatient with these things, but looking at them today, he felt very interested.
The reason for this is because he has confidence in his heart.
His good grandson-in-law Ke De had already thought of corresponding countermeasures for him.
Definitely beyond everyone's expectation.
Fortunately, we were able to solve the problem.
It allows him to build palaces and docks boldly without any loss of people's power!
Think about the ideas that your grandson-in-law Kede gave you, and then look at the things in front of you. They only express support or opposition to you, saying the same thing, but they don’t think about coming up with practical ways to help you solve your difficulties.
, the guys who made things the best of both worlds, Dong Zhuo couldn't help but feel emotional again.
Kede is such a good son-in-law!
At this time, Dong Zhuo actually had a strong feeling in his heart that compared with his good grandson-in-law Kede, everyone here was rubbish!
It was a very correct decision for me to betroth my granddaughter to Kede!
Sitting here, seeing that these people had said almost everything they needed to say, and could not come up with anything new, Dong Zhuo, who was extremely confident in his heart, spoke unhurriedly.
"But what if I say that the construction of the imperial palace and the construction of Xiwu did not use rice paste as binding materials?"
When Dong Zhuo spoke, the hall immediately fell silent. Everyone looked at him, wondering what he meant.
After a while, Sikong Xunshuang stood up and said carefully, "It's just that if rice slurry is not used, how can the palaces built be strong?
Forget about ordinary buildings, this is the construction of an imperial palace, the place where you live as Prime Minister, how can you build it solidly without using good adhesive materials?"
As soon as Xun Shuang opened his mouth, there was a feeling of comfort in his heart.
Dong Zhuo smiled and said: "As Sikong said, this is the palace where I, Dong Zhuo, will live. How can I, Dong Zhuo, cut corners on such a thing?"
After saying this, Xun Shuang and others immediately became more confused and confused.
I don’t know what Dong Zhuo means.
But Dong Zhuo, at this moment, clapped his hands vigorously: "Lift the thing up and let everyone take a look!"
After a while, seven or eight strong soldiers came in carrying a small wall and placed it on the open space in the room.
Many people were stunned when they saw this kind of operation and didn't understand what Dong Zhuo was doing.
There are also some people who think faster and have already figured out what Dong Zhuo meant.
"These bricks do not use rice paste or other materials. You can try it yourself to see if these bricks are strong when they stick together."
Dong Zhuo said with some pretense of mystery.
Xun Shuang, Wang Yun and others, seeing the mystery Dong Zhuo said, really wanted to personally verify whether the brick was strong or not. They no longer were polite and stepped forward to have a look at it.
It was discovered that the material used to bond these bricks was indeed not a mixture of rice paste and other materials.
Neither the color nor the texture match.
I grabbed the top brick and pushed it to one side, but the brick didn't move at all!
Even if the strongest among them tried to break it off, it would still be the same.
Seeing this, Dong Zhuo very thoughtfully asked people to bring a hammer, indicating that these people could use the hammer to smash it, so as to verify the strength of this new condensation material.
Under the watchful eyes of Xun Shuang, Wang Yun, Ma Yu, Ma Rixi and others, Jing Zhao Yin Sima Fang, who had a relatively low status but had great strength, picked up a hammer and knocked on the top brick.
Thinking about it, the scene of this brick being directly knocked away by a hammer did not appear, only some broken bricks were smashed down!
Seeing this, Sima Fang swung the hammer in his hand again.
After swinging the hammer twice in a row, the top brick was finally knocked down.
But instead of the whole piece falling, only half of it fell!
The other half is still firmly solidified on it!
Seeing such a scene, everyone present could not help but be surprised!
"This binding material is stronger than clay mixed with rice milk, but I have never seen it before. What is this material?"
After some experiments, all the people present were convinced by this adhesive material that they had never seen before.
Sikong Xunshuang raised his hands towards Dong Zhuo and asked him.
Dong Zhuo looked at everyone's expressions and couldn't help but feel comfortable in his heart. He said: "This thing is called cement. It is made of special stones and fired using a secret method. The fired cement only needs to be mixed with river sand and water.
, it is the best building adhesive material!”
Hearing Dong Zhuo say this, everyone present suddenly became different.
“But I don’t know how much this thing costs?
Which one is lower than rice milk?"
The one who spoke was still Sikong Xunshuang.
Dong Zhuo had been laying the groundwork for so long, just waiting for these people to ask this question.
He immediately smiled and said: "Because this thing is made of stone from the mountains, the cost is not too high, less than half of that of rice paste."
In fact, Dong Zhuo had reservations about this. The cost of cement was actually less than a quarter of that of rice slurry.
However, considering that his good grandson-in-law Kede would still make money from this in the future, he raised the price a lot.
"hiss!"
But even so, after Dong Zhuo said these words, there was a sound of air conditioning in the room.
Xun Shuang, Wang Yun, Sima Fang, Ma Yu and others were all shocked by the price Dong Zhuo said!
When used to build houses, the adhesive effect is better than that of rice pulp, but the price is much lower than that of rice pulp. How can they not be amazed by this?
In addition to this, another more important thing is that this thing called cement is made of stone.
Unlike mixed materials such as rice milk, which require a lot of rice.
This alone is enough to make Wang Yun and others amazed and excited.
As people of this era, they always feel that it is too wasteful to use good rice as building materials for buildings.
However, they had to do this in order to make the houses they built strong enough.
Now, everything has become different.
Because this new thing Dong Zhuo came up with, called cement, can perfectly replace it!
"Here, I wonder who created this cement manufacturing method?
It’s really great that something like this appears at this time!”
Xun Shuang looked excited and asked.
Dong Zhuo had obviously been preparing for this for a long time. Hearing Xun Shuang ask this question, he immediately became excited.
He sat up straight, with some excitement and longing on his face, and said: "When we move the capital and leave Luoyang, my grandson-in-law Kede will lead the army to the rear. After defeating the invading enemy, he will lead the troops to the west and stay overnight.
The shore of Luoshui River.
Suddenly, there was a huge golden light in the water, and the water parted to both sides. A magical turtle with golden light all over its body emerged from the Luoshui River, carrying a silk book on its back, and walked all the way to the tent of my grandson-in-law Kede.
The magical turtle suddenly started talking about people's words, saying that after the capital was moved, everything needed to be done, and the construction of palaces and buildings was even more indispensable.
Nowadays, the people are in poverty. If we continue to use the materials of the past to build palaces and houses, it will consume too much and waste food.
Therefore, he came out of the water specially to carry this magical formula to benefit the country and help build a new capital!
After saying that, the turtle shook off the silk book on his body and submerged into Luoshui again.
My grandson-in-law Kede hurriedly chased him, but he woke up from his dream.
Recalling the dream I had just now, it was vivid in my mind. I went out of the tent and looked around, but there was no trace of the turtle, but there was a piece of silk writing on the ground.
What is recorded above is the method of making cement.
When I asked the guards, they all said they had never seen such a vision before.
They stayed around the tent and never left, and they didn't even know when the silk book appeared!
It wasn't until my grandson-in-law, Ke De, picked it up and held it in my hand to question them that they were shocked..."
"Kede knew that this was the manifestation of Luo Shen. After arriving at Mianchi, he quickly arranged people secretly to make it according to the method of the turtle. Sure enough, he got a divine thing like cement!"
…
In the main hall, as soon as Dong Zhuo spoke on the phone, everyone present fell into silence!
Everyone could not help but widen their eyes!
Obviously, they were all shocked by what Dong Zhuo said.
The Han Dynasty itself was an era that believed in prophecies and taboos.
Especially the Eastern Han Dynasty.
If a snake appears in the palace, everyone from the emperor to the ministers will pray a lot, sin against themselves and the like for a while.
If this were not the case, this guy Niu Fu would not be so obedient to the words of the witch and sorcerer.
In addition, a dragon and a horse emerged from the Yellow River in Mengjin and presented the river map to the holy king Fuxi. When Dayu came to Luoshui to control the floods, a divine turtle came out and presented the Luoshu. These two events have long been widely circulated.
There are clear records in the Confucian classic "Shangshu".
There is a car in front of you and a rut in the back. Now that the turtle has reappeared, it makes sense.
Of course, this was not what shocked everyone present.
What shocked them the most was that this cement, which had never appeared before, was indeed an excellent thing!
Investing it in the construction of palace buildings can indeed save a lot of manpower and material resources and benefit the country.
…
Could it be that what Dong Zhuo said is true?
Under such ironclad facts, some people began to waver...
