Back to the Three Kingdoms and become a python

"What do you think?" Lin Bei asked Zhang Cheng, wanting to hear Zhang Cheng's opinion.

"My lord, if you want to rebuild Linjiang City, I don't think it is necessary to build it in detail. The water of the Mekong River is really terrible. It is worse than the typhoon and tsunami in Wanghai City last time. Why don't you just build some houses at will so that people can live there?" Forget it, when the river rises, don't worry too much." Zhang Cheng replied.

Lin Bei smiled, what Zhang Cheng said was indeed quite reasonable.

Now there are no dams or reservoirs on the Mekong River, and once the flood season comes, it will start a violent stance, and no city can stop it. This is the reason, but if Linjiang City is just used as a temporary camp, then Lin Bei is not reconciled, because The waterway of the Mekong River is so important that Lin Bei doesn't want to give up. An important town must be built here, and it cannot be just one.

ps: ps: The second day of the new year, the second update.

Chapter 243 Big Killer—Cement

"A major town..."

An important town literally means an important town. This importance can refer to military or economic aspects. If it is a military important town, then it will be a battleground for military strategists. Once you win this Such an important town will play a vital role in the entire war, and if it is an economically important town, it means that this kind of place has great potential for sustainable development and will become the economic core town of a certain region.

What Lin Bei wants to build on the Mekong River is an important economic town. Of course, it would be better if this economic town also serves as a military town.

Does the Mekong River have potential for development?This is naturally true. Many large cities were built in this area in later generations, all of which were located on the banks of the Mekong River. If the Yangtze River and the Yellow River raised the people of Yan and Huang, then the Mekong River raised the people of Myanmar, Thailand, Vietnam and other countries. The status of the Mekong River It is extraordinary, so the potential must be great.

But to build an important town, Lin Bei had to consider at least three issues. The first was how to build the important town and how to plan it. The second was the issue of the indigenous people. The indigenous people had to be conquered. Bei's most unreasonable worry, this worry is how long can he live?This worry is the most important. If Lin Bei can only live for a few decades before his life is exhausted, then he will not build any important town.

If Lin Bei doesn't die, it's all easy to say, he will definitely command the Central Plains in the future, re-establish order, and let the Han people be emperors, and he can just retreat behind the scenes. This is the best situation, but if Lin Bei can only live for a few days Ten years, then his successor will definitely have another idea, maybe he will become a king on his own and leave the Han territory. In this way, these people will become outsiders. far behind.Even if Lin Bei made wedding dresses for these outsiders, Lin Bei absolutely could not tolerate this. Besides, maybe in a few decades, the natives would turn their backs on the hosts and invade China. Then China would be very bad and would be completely wiped out by the barbarians. suppress.Lin Beiguang couldn't accept it even thinking about it.

How many years can I live?Lin Bei was really confused. He only knew that the lifespan of a snake is actually not long. More than ten years is the norm, but pythons live longer. It is said that some artificially raised pythons can live for hundreds of years, which is longer than most people. , but the number of pythons is quite rare, and most pythons can only live for four to fifty years.

"Four or 50 years will pass by with a flick of the finger. By then, the world may not even be half explored." Lin Bei sighed. His goal was too big, so he felt that time was too little.

So whether to build an important town or not?Lin Bei hesitated.

After Zhang Cheng finished his opinion, seeing Lin Bei's silence, Zhang Cheng couldn't help asking, "My lord, what do you think?"

"Let's talk about it tomorrow, I have to think again."

Zhang Cheng nodded, he knew that the adult in front of him actually saw far-reaching.Since adults said to think about it, they must have thought otherwise.

Just finished my meal.Several small boats went up the river and arrived at Linjiang City, but it was An Zhongzhi who sent people here, and Lin Bei summoned them.

"My lord, I hope that everything in Haicheng is safe, but the master and the pavilion chief are both worried about your safety." The visitor said.

"What's the situation at the dense forest transfer station? Are they all flooded?" Lin Bei asked.

The person who came nodded and said: "Yes, my lord. Not only that, the wooden road for nearly a hundred miles between the transfer station and the mountains is gone, and all the wooden boards have been washed away. Although I have re-opened the road now, it is muddy. Master In other words, I am afraid that in a few days, these roads will be covered with grass again, the master asked the villain to ask the adults what should be done at this time? Should we continue to pave the roads with wooden planks?"

"You go down first, we'll talk about it tomorrow."

After the people came down, Lin Bei went to the river and stayed in the river until the early morning. After dawn, Lin Bei ordered Zhang Cheng to find the craftsmen: "Just look for those masons. By the way, masons can also Find it."

Zhang Cheng left as promised, and within a quarter of an hour, the craftsman arrived.

Lin Bei didn't bother, and went straight to the point: "I called you here to ask you, can you build the city wall?"

A few people replied that it was fixed.

"How to build the city wall?" Lin Bei asked.

"My lord, mix glutinous rice water with clay, and hammer it firmly. A section of the city wall that is half a meter thick will take about half a moon..." the carpenter said.

Lin Bei shook his head: "No, that's not what I want to know. Can you know something, Lime? It should be the name?"

lime?The craftsmen were a little confused, and Lin Bei described it again: "The color is gray and white, like powder, and the smell is a bit unpleasant..."

Many craftsmen realized: "My lord, is this plastering powder? After mixing with water, it can also be used to paste walls and floors."

"Powdering, right? That's just powdering. Do you know how to make it?"

A stonemason replied: "My lord, there is a kind of stone that is smearing powder stone. It is found in many places, and it is also found in mines. It only needs to be mined, hammered and ground into powder."

"It's convenient." Lin Bei was overjoyed. It turned out that there was one nearby, but now it's even better. As far as Lin Bei knows, the raw material needed for cement is lime powder, which is the current plastering powder, clay plus slag. The things are then calcined and mixed with water to form cement. This is also the easiest way to make cement.

"What is your lord going to do with this powder?" asked the craftsman.

"A new type of building material called cement."

"Building materials? Cement?"

The reflections of the craftsmen gave Lin Bei a sense of superiority again, "The so-called building materials are building materials. The scope of building materials is very wide, including building houses, roads, dams, etc." Lin Bei explained a little, Call Zhang Cheng in: "Zhang Cheng, you quickly send a thousand soldiers to escort these craftsmen to the mine, first look for the powder stone and clay, and after you find it, grind it into powder, add slag, and dry it in a stove. When this is done, let me know."

Zhang Cheng nodded in agreement, and immediately summoned the sergeants to nurse the craftsmen.

Lin Bei summoned the people from yesterday and told them to look back at Haicheng and tell An Zhongzhi to make cement in the same way. As for the wooden path, it was naturally in the past tense.

Last night, Lin Bei thought about it all night, and finally decided to build an important town on the Mekong River, even if he can only live for a few decades. Of course, he will change his strategy, and he does not intend to keep the cement production method a secret.Instead, it is going to be sold to Zhen's firm, and Zhen's firm will be sold to the heroes of the Central Plains. In this way, even if Lin Bei dies in a few decades, the technology of the Central Plains will not be far behind.

And even if this cement production method is sold to people from the Central Plains, to be honest.In fact, these people will not cause much trouble to Lin Bei. Gunpowder has been made for countless years, but people now only use it to make fireworks, so no matter how good things are, it depends on whether people will use them. Lin Bei They are going to use cement to build important towns, dams, and roads. Do the heroes of the Central Plains have the ambition and courage to do the same thing as Lin Bei?They are most likely to be used to build cities first...and then fight.The difference in vision between Lin Bei and these people also determines the difference in the way it is used.

"My lord, what is this cement? I think your lord attaches great importance to it?" Zhang Cheng asked from the side.

"Cement is a good thing. It is simple, cheap, and practical. After the cement is made, I can rebuild Linjiang City. This time, I want to build Linjiang City as solid as gold."

"Could this cement be able to withstand the floods of the past few days?" Zhang Cheng was surprised.

Lin Bei smiled, and shook his head in Zhang Cheng's anticipation: "I can't stop it..."

Zhang Cheng let out an uh.Speechless.

"The city alone can't stop it, but besides the city, we have to repair other things. With this thing, we can almost stop the flood."

"Do you mean the dam?"

"Well, but it's not the kind of earth-stone structure dam. It's a dam made of cement."

"Then when will this cement be made?" Zhang Cheng asked, thinking about how long it took the steam carriage to be made, this cement sounds more useful than the steam carriage, isn't it longer?How long will it take to build the dam with cement?Zhang Cheng is still cement measured by the technology of this era.He didn't know how simple and practical cement was.

"What I have said is very detailed. At the most tomorrow, the cement can be made, and then you can see how powerful the cement is."

"The villain will wait and see."

Lin Bei still underestimated the strength of the craftsmen. Lin Bei explained too much in detail, so the craftsmen made the cement in one go. Lin Bei came to inform Lin Bei before noon. Lin Bei rushed to the mine before the time was up. Three o'clock in the afternoon.

"The cement has been made?" Lin Bei was pleasantly surprised, these craftsmen are really quick at work.

"Yes, my lord, please come and take a look to see if this is the cement?"

The craftsman led Lin Bei to the location, where there was already a large pile of cement powder, and some craftsmen mixed the cement powder and water according to the method Lin Bei said, made a paste, and paste it on the stone, adding Roast quickly.

"My lord, this cement..." A craftsman said softly, "This cement is not strong, please look at it, my lord."

The craftsman stepped forward and tapped lightly on the cement surface that had been baked on the stone surface. With little force, the cement fell off in lumps and was not sticky.
