The number one scholar of the Song Dynasty

The king of a country personally built a city in the suburbs and participated in the construction of the new capital, which greatly encouraged the people in the engineering camp.

They are no strangers to the official family who lived on Gaogang. They once led them to win three Youyan battles and destroyed the mighty Jurchen Kingdom.

He would eat with everyone around the bonfire, laugh heartily at vulgar country jokes, and occasionally brag about the soldiers around him.

It was he who single-handedly raised the treatment of the soldiers, so that when everyone risked their lives, they had a reason to persuade themselves to die for the country.

On the outskirts of Hebei, the stars are dotted with stars, shining like fireworks that will never dissipate in the sky.

On a hammock, Yang Lin rested his hands on his pillow, looked at the stars in the sky, and went through the recent events in his mind.

Bai Shizhong's reforms, which he has fully agreed to, will definitely make Daxia go further; Fang Qifo is still chasing and killing the chieftain, may it be too much, when the world is bathing in prosperity, central Guizhou is still in a bloody storm; The civil war in Goryeo has subsided, and you need to pay close attention to the direction of the two forces; Yelu Dashi has won another battle. After this grandson sold the Song Army in Yunnei once, he swept away the decline of the previous battles and defeats. sweep the west

It was easier to get on this dragon chair, because he controlled the army, but after sitting on it, there were more troubles.

You can't learn from Zhao Ji and create a prosperous world in the capital, let's eat, drink and have fun.

As for the Korean affairs, we can only wait and see the changes, waiting for the final pattern of the peninsula to take shape.

The Liao people are in the west, and their business is booming. If Yelu Dashi is determined to fight back to the east, he has to make plans early.

After all, the birthplace of the Liao people has become Changchun Prefecture today, and cities and buildings are being built.

While meditating, there was a burst of laughter beside him, and when he turned around, he saw a few little maids playing a board game.

It was invented by Li Qingzhao, the female lifter of Jinshiguan, and it is most loved by the female relatives of wealthy families. There is still too little spiritual entertainment in this era.

An affluent society actually needs people like Li Qingzhao and Li Bai. They are full of talented and unconstrained poetry and creativity, which can release people's spiritual emptiness after eating and drinking.

The star chasing of later generations is probably the same, but compared with Li Bai and Li Qingzhao, the stars of later generations are a bit far behind.

A gust of wind blew past, making Yang Lin give a comfortable hum, and crossed his legs to look up at the starry sky on the hammock.

"Whatever, according to what I think in my heart, I want to build a prosperous world."

Waking up in the morning, Yang Lin heard a commotion outside.

Ordinarily, the emperor is here, so there shouldn't be such disharmony. After Yang Lin washed up, he went to the city below which had already started construction.

The two groups were arguing fiercely, but the people around them surrounded them and listened to their quarrel.

After Yang Lin came, he realized that it was two groups who had a disagreement over the use of materials.

When the engineering battalion built the city, it used mud or stones to build the city wall.

Some people changed the materials without authorization, which caused the joints of the city walls to be unable to be fixed.

Yang Lin stopped the quarrel and took people to see the connection. There was a city wall that was obviously stronger and without gaps.

Yang Lin froze for a moment, and immediately thought that this is the prototype of cement, right?

With the lessons learned from the last firecracker, he didn't have much hope this time.

In Youyan's Armament School, someone mixed lime and clay to make building materials that could be quickly fixed into shape.

Yang Lin asked with interest: "Who made this, and what's its name?"

"Go back to the official's house. This was made by Yang Tianci, the dean of the Armed Forces School. Because this thing needs to be mixed with water and soil, it is called cement. After it dries and hardens, the color is blue-gray, somewhat like the volcanic ash of Tianchi, so It was named Tianchi Cement."

Yang Lin felt that there was light on his face, and said with a smile: "I just don't know how hard it is?"

The ordinary engineering soldiers around were all a little disdainful. The traditional building materials they used did not believe in such dusty things.

Graduated from Youyan Armed Forces School, very confident, said loudly: "The officials can let us build a wall each, and then use the siege equipment in the army to test how strong it is, and then we will know."

His words were so arrogant that the other engineers were very dissatisfied. Yang Lin was happy to see this kind of competition.

He waved his hand and said: "Today, I will give you a testimony to see if this Tianchi cement will work."

A hundred people were selected from each side, and in the open space, they began to lay foundations and build walls.

After the third day, a simple small wall was piled up, and after a little air-drying, the ordinary soil was also formed, and the competition began.

The early morning sun was very comfortable. Under the tree, Yang Lin sat under the canopy, and specially instructed not to use an umbrella to bask in the sun.

In front of him was a small wooden table, and after he sat down, he was surrounded by concubines Zhong Guiyi and Xiu Rong Lingyun.

Yang Lin was in high spirits, and the two concubines also looked curious. The people below naturally tried their best to prove themselves in front of the emperor.

In the distance, people from the new army of the Beijing camp were divided into two teams, handling crash cars and explosives, and preparing to break through the wall.

Yang Lin smiled and planted the order flag in his hand to Guiyi, "Little Taozi, go and order to start!"

Zhong Guiyi's eyes lit up, he got up, excitedly stepped forward, raised the command flag and waved it vigorously.

As soon as the horn sounded, everything was in order. The elite of the new army of the Beijing camp first used a crash car and began to hit the city wall.

Neither wall collapsed, but the mud wall was more severely damaged.

Immediately afterwards, someone stepped forward, and Sanzhi was about to use explosives.

Yang Lin quickly took the two concubines into his arms and covered their ears.

There was a rumbling explosion, and the ordinary mud city wall was incomplete, but half of the Tianchi concrete wall was still standing.

Yang Lin stood up and applauded, the cement was finally made.The other soldiers of the engineering battalion were also very excited.

They argued not for themselves, but felt that this kind of unattractive soil would delay the progress of the city wall.

Since there are better raw materials, my own work is easier to do, and the quality is still high.

In Yang Lin's mind, the most important meaning of this matter is not to build the city walls of the new capital, but to finally be able to build roads.

"Youyan Wubei School made this Tianchi cement, which is really a great achievement. Immediately send an order for Yang Tianci to come, and I want to ask him how to produce this thing."

The principle of cement is very simple. Yang Lin's first class after accepting apprentices was to take the disciples to see the lime workshop.

Lime and cement are available, and in the future summer, it will have a new look!

Chapter 762 The Foundation Has Been Paved

On Hebei East Road, the engineering camp aggressively built a cement factory and recruited a group of apprentice workers.

This craft is very simple and can be operated with a little training, mainly the weight configuration of clay and lime.

Around the new city, Yang Lin gathered a group of skilled people and sent them to Bianliang, preparing to make a detailed strategy and distribute it to the provinces.

"As long as the demand is strong enough, there will be innovation in technology," Yang Lin couldn't help but sigh.
