Great Ming National Teacher

The weather is getting colder and colder, and after the frost, it will be very difficult to live in a tent. Fortunately, at this time, the craftsmen in the cement factory made the cement. Twenty craftsmen followed the formula Li Yunya said, after repeated trials , finally found a suitable ratio and calcination temperature, and fired the first batch of usable cement.

Li Yunya added fine river sand and gravel to make concrete, and built a wall with big blue bricks. After it dried, he asked ten soldiers to carry a tree trunk, and hit the wall for a while with the method of siege. Collapsed.

Li Yunya awarded 100 taels of silver to the craftsman of the Yang family who found the best formula ratio on the spot, and promoted Yang craftsman to a one-star craftsman. The other families also rewarded 30 taels of silver, so that they can continue to improve the formula and make it stronger. of cement.

He delineated this place as a cement factory and ordered them to start mass production of cement according to the formula. The first batch of cement was used to make cement boards.

Li Yunya went to the Ministry of Industry and asked [-] blacksmiths to ask them to make the skeleton with iron rods, put together a two-meter-long and one-meter-wide iron net, and then use this iron net to pour cement and river sand. After drying, it becomes a cement board.

It is said that Li Yunya is the best designer in the Ministry of Industry. He presided over the design of many large-scale buildings, palaces and gardens. He also transferred two veterans who fought in Liaodong from the Beijing camp to design for his military academy. A construction blueprint.

His greatest achievement in architecture in the past was to build a two-story building with his grandfather's contract team. For the design of large-scale buildings, he still has to listen to the experts of this era. The five experts from the Ministry of Industry and the military are busy. I designed a drawing for him in two days, and revised it for two days after he joined.

Li Yunya gave each of the five experts 100 taels of silver. The five were flattered and thankful. These days, technical jobs are worthless. They won’t be able to earn back the 100 taels of silver in three years. To them, it can be said to be a fortune. It's a huge sum of money, but Li Yunya thinks it's very cheap. In modern society, it would cost hundreds of thousands of dollars to design a blueprint for such a large project with the help of an architectural professional.

After getting the blueprints, Li Yunya started the first step in the construction of the military academy. Since it was going to be winter and the cement was afraid of freezing, he could only build a small part, that is, the soldiers' dormitories. Five buildings on the second floor were built in parallel at the northwest corner. The small buildings are all built with large blue bricks and concrete, the walls are extremely thick, and the floors are still made of wooden beams, with cement boards on the top, and a layer of cement floor, which is completely different from the wooden floor of the buildings at this time. The empty sound is the same as stepping on the ground. Two layers of cement boards are used on the roof, with cinders added in the middle.

Li Yunya went to the Ministry of Industry and asked twenty carpenters to make bunk beds. Each room has five beds, which can accommodate ten people. There are ten rooms on one floor, and the five buildings are exactly full. 1000 people.

A three-story building was built on the right side of the dormitory building. The first floor was the canteen, the second floor was used as a warehouse, and the third floor was temporarily used as Li Yunya's residence.

Finally, he could no longer live in a tent. When Li Yunya moved into his new home, the first snow after winter had already started to fall outside.

He asked a master carpenter to make him a super big bed, on which he could roll around and wash away the tiredness of these days.

It is a pity that glass has not been invented yet, the windows are still covered with paper, there is no heating, only a charcoal brazier in the room, and it is not convenient to go to the toilet, but now he lives in a room that is completely at his disposal. In the big house, there are more than 1000 soldiers and construction experts who completely obey his orders. He can only win the "favor" of the emperor, and Wei Zhongxian, the most powerful eunuch in the dynasty, will also give him three points...

What else is there to be dissatisfied with?Li Yunya relaxed and threw himself on the big mahogany bed, with his limbs wide open, looking at the ceiling.

He decided to build the military academy as soon as possible after the spring blossoms next year, and then take Xiao Jianjian to live there for a few days, so that he can also enjoy the convenience of modernization, maybe it will make Xiao Jianjian happy.

On snowy days, the drills continued. The soldiers had already put on the winter clothes designed by Li Yunya himself. They were all grass-green cotton-padded clothes and trousers, with cowhide patches on the chest, back shoulders, elbows and knees, and a pair of Big leather boots, dog-like flat hair, according to the current aesthetic point of view of the Ming Dynasty, what an ugly word!

The craftsmen who came to the military academy for construction couldn't bear to look directly at them, and the aunts and aunts hired by Li Yunya to cook in the cafeteria looked pitiful every time they cooked for them.On the contrary, the children of the craftsman's family were more envious. Some of them even cut off each other's hair, saying that it was more convenient to forge iron or sieve lime, and it was easier to clean after it was done. They were beaten and punished by their parents. They were beaten so badly that they cried and howled.

However, Li Yunya was very satisfied, he glanced over and found that most of the little soldiers were handsome guys, so he was very eye-catching.

Now these soldiers have been able to gather at the playground 10 minutes after his whistle sounded, and formed a neat formation to wait for orders. When walking and running in unison, they can also maintain a relatively regular formation. some.

Li Yunya himself has never been a soldier, so he crossed the river by feeling the stones. There are only two things he can do. All the soldiers were so well trained and energetic that they could now hold formation and run twenty laps around the camp without being left behind.

After running around for breakfast, Li Yunya hired the women from the craftsmen's family to cook in the canteen of the military school for two renminbi a month. These women can only wash and wash at home and help their husbands with their work. , At this time, if you can earn money, you have to break your head to come in. Li Yunya selected the best candidates, and hired those who were quick to work, not lazy, and not sharp-tongued. They only cook three meals a day.

After breakfast, they continued to practice in the queue. After nine o'clock in the morning, two veterans came from the west. When they saw Li Yunya, they kowtowed in the snow: "Zhao Si and Liu Qi of the Beijing camp were ordered by the king's commander. Come and report to the adults."

The two men were also dressed in tattered clothes, their shoulders shrunk from the cold, their faces were wrinkled, and the wrinkles were full of dirt.

Li Yunya frowned and looked at the two of them: "I and Wang Zongbing are looking for veterans who fought in Liaodong. You... are old enough, but have you fought in Liaodong?" In fact, neither of them is over 40 years old. Years old, just like the old age, just look old.

"Fighted!" Zhao Si said a little unconvinced, "We were stationed with the army in Liaodong during the Tianqi period. Later, Lord Wang broke up and we were all scattered. We were reorganized into the Beijing camp..."

The Master Wang he was referring to was Wang Huazhen, who was defeated by Houjin in Guangning and almost destroyed all the land outside Shanhaiguan.

"Okay, then trouble you two, teach me how to fight, mainly how to fight the enemy in battle." He went to the Ministry of War yesterday to get a batch of spears, and he has never used them himself. The battlefield, so special people should be invited to train.

Li Yunya brought the two to the front of the team: "These two are seniors invited from the Beijing Camp. From today onwards, they will be your instructors, and they will train you for ten days. This is Instructor Zhao. This is Instructor Liu, everyone is welcome!"

The soldiers clapped their hands, crackling, clapping five times quickly and then stopped, simply enthusiastic.

Zhao Si and Liu Qi felt their hearts agitated when they saw it. They were born in military households, and they had been in the army since they were young. The team is horizontal and vertical, and the formation is the same as measured with a ruler, and everyone stands upright, with ruddy complexions and high energy. When the two of them glanced at each other, they were a little ashamed.

Li Yunya sent down the spear and asked the two to start training. These two people really have two brushes, and they are not as oily as they look. They are probably a little bluffed, and they are cautious when speaking, one five one The ten places talked about how to hold spears, how to stab them, how to cooperate with each other, how to deal with infantry, and how to deal with cavalry. Li Yunya listened for a long time and felt pretty good.

Dinner was served on time at [-]:[-] noon, when the whistle sounded, the ten companies began to gather and line up to the cafeteria in a neat formation.

Zhao Si and Liu Qi were stupefied by the whistle, not knowing what to do, they didn't recover until they were invited into the cafeteria by Li Yunya, but they were shocked by the dormitory and cafeteria they had never seen before.

The soldiers took their jobs and went to cook meals in units of squads. They were ranked according to the scores in the first ten days of evaluation. The ones with the highest scores were beaten first, and those with the lowest scores were beaten last. There are no stools, and ten people stand around each round table to eat.Li Yunya ordered two sets of bowls and chopsticks for Zhao Si and Liu Qi. Seeing that what he made today was fried bean sprouts with sliced ​​meat and stewed chicken with mushrooms, he thought it was good, so he ordered one too.

Zhao Si and Liu Qi never dreamed that the food here is so good!In the Beijing camp, even the low-level officers can't eat these, and there are delicious two-rice rice, and each person can get two big bowls!

What made them even more incomprehensible was that Li Yunya was eating here with his group of Qiu Ba with his rice bowl in his hand!

Didn't it mean that Li Xianshi knows illusion and can win the holy family alone?Even nine thousand years old let him three points, is it good for the commander-in-chief to be polite to him?It was hard for them to imagine that someone with such great power would have a big meal here.

But there is no time for them to think about it now, because the food is really delicious, and they are too hungry. They only eat two meals a day in the Beijing camp, and they are still not full. They didn’t have breakfast when they came, thinking about it Come over for the meal, let’s have a meal first. I didn’t expect their meal to be different from the meal at the military academy. I was busy talking and gesticulating in the cold wind on an empty stomach all morning, and my stomach was already growling with hunger. At this time, the thinking of the brain has completely stopped, and only the chopsticks are left to desperately scrape the rice into the mouth.

After lunch at noon, the soldiers could go back to the dormitory to rest. Li Yunya asked the canteen aunts to clean up a warehouse for Zhao and Liu on the second floor of the canteen building in advance. Basins and dishcloths are all available, as well as fine salt for wiping teeth after meals. Touching the soft and thick quilt, the two pinched each other's arms: "Aren't we dreaming?"
