Chapter 195: Imagination of Champion City
Ten miles of peach blossoms?
Just opposite Wanjia Village, there is a ten-mile slope with a few peach trees planted on it, isn't that a ten-mile peach blossom!
Miss Fu San had already guessed some, but when she heard the answer, she was still angry...... As the youngest daughter of Fu Yanqing, the king of Wei, Fu San can be said to be pampered, from the time of birth, whether it is his parents, or his sister or brother, he loves him and treats him as a pearl in his palm.
Relatives and outsiders, not to mention.
From a certain point of view, Fu San lives in a time and space parallel to the troubled times, and the little girl likes to listen to stories and watch plays, just to understand the outside world.
Over the years, almost everyone has told her that there are flowers and peace outside...... Only Ye Hua didn't know what to do, and when they met for the first time, they scared Miss Fu San enough, of course, because of this, Miss Fu San was the most impressed by him.
If you have something to do, you like to inquire.
After inquiring a lot, Fu San gradually became clear that this is an unprecedented troubled time, it is not easy for everyone to live, Ye Hua is only a teenager, and he has to maneuver between the old foxes, and he has to lead the troops to fight, which is very difficult.
In the depths of my heart, there is still a little bit of worship.
It's just that this guy is untrustworthy, which makes Fu San's good feelings disappear!
"Hmph, you're going to lie, this girl knows!"
With that, she turned around and jumped into the carriage, and was about to go back to the city.
Ye Zhong looked at his brother in embarrassment, and said in his heart, what should I do? Do you want to send Miss Fu back?
Ye Hua couldn't wait for the third girl to leave quickly, so that she didn't bother him, but this Nizi has a special identity, if she goes back and talks nonsense, it will bring trouble.
"You say I'm a liar, can't you see that it's not far from the lights of thousands of homes and ten miles of peach blossoms!"
Fu San stood in the wheel of the car and looked up, the surroundings were still bare, there were turned up loess everywhere, and there were lush weeds, but he couldn't see the lights or peach blossoms!
"Eat the rice one bite at a time!" Ye Hua said to Fu San: "If you want to, I'll show you!" ”
"Good!"
Fu San agreed, she didn't know how to be so simple.
Ye Hua walked in front, she followed quickly, and the two of them came to the Wuzhang River, stepped on the stone steps, arrived at the top of the embankment, stood at the top of the embankment, facing the cool breeze, the whole body was comfortable, in the hot summer, not to mention how comfortable, it was almost going to fly!
Fu San only then noticed that there was a very wide and tall river embankment under their feet.
Unlike ordinary dirt embankments, this embankment is cyan and very hard, like a stone, but not a stone!
"It's cement! A new building material. ”
Fu San frowned, "I know, it's a treasure that can make up for the sky!" ”
Ye Hua smiled bitterly and shook his head, "Don't mention mending the sky, just because of this matter, I was put on a role by Fan Qian, and I almost asked Your Majesty to take away the cement technology!" ”
Ye Hua opened the conversation...... Repairing the embankment and building a city in the Wuzhang River was something that was determined before the conquest of the Southern Tang Dynasty, and during the time he left, the craftsmen did not rest, and the affairs of the Ye family were not idle.
Taking advantage of the slack time, they built a 30-mile-long embankment along the Wuzhang River.
The embankment is three feet wide at the bottom, and eight feet wide at the top, allowing a horse-drawn carriage to pass. Due to the use of cement, the quality of the project is quite good, which can be called solid.
Moreover, considering that the Khitans would go south in winter, many wooden stakes were planted on the south bank of the river embankment, so that in wartime, the enemy soldiers could be blocked.
Near the embankment, every 2 miles, there is a small room with sandbags and cement slabs. When the flood comes, it can strengthen the river embankment, and when the enemy comes, it can also serve as a temporary fortification.
Ye Hua briefed Fu San on the situation of the embankment.
With the protection of the levee, there is no need to worry about the flood, no matter how heavy the flood is.
Ye Hua can rest assured that he can build boldly.
About 30 zhang away from the river embankment, there are people digging two ditches.
The outer one is 2 feet 5 feet long, and it is a moat. Inside is the foundation, which was used to build the city walls. The future city wall will be 3 zhang 3 feet high, only 2 feet lower than Kaifeng.
At the head of the city, you should prepare a variety of defensive weapons, such as fierce fire oil and bed crossbows.
"If the Khitan people want to learn from Yelu Deguang and drink the Central Plains, they will definitely kick the iron plate! The city under our feet and Kaifeng form a corner and cooperate with each other. See? Ye Hua pointed to the big pit outside the city wall, in the open space, "There will be several diamond-shaped castles built there, which are also equipped with bed crossbows, and between them and the capital, a cross attack can be formed, and no matter how many Khitans come, it will not be enough to fill it!" ”
Ye Hua talked a lot about defense, and he suddenly felt a little heavy and cruel, so he turned the topic to the city...... Because of cement, many things that were not possible before can now be done.
For example, Ye Hua asked that the sewers should be dug deeply, as an industrial city, it is inevitable that sewage will be generated, and it is necessary to let the sewage be discharged as soon as possible.
The sewers will be wide enough to pass a horse-drawn carriage.
At intervals, a room was dug for soldiers to patrol.
"I see, you're afraid of someone hiding in the sewers, right?"
It's rare that Miss Fu San even knows that there are bad guys hidden in the sewers of the capital!
"That's right, the security of the new city must be very good, and everyone must keep order!" Ye Hua talked about the ground, and he asked the road surface to be wide, and trees should be planted in the middle and on both sides of the road as a curvature.
With trees, there is shade and the city becomes vibrant.
Moreover, the existence of steel and cement workshops will produce a lot of dust and haze, increase plants, and reduce some pollution, Ye Hua strives to make the city more beautiful.
The so-called ten miles of peach blossoms...... He really had the idea, to create an orchard in the south of the city, not just peach trees, but also apricot trees, pear trees, begonia trees, and by the way, grapes.
Not long ago, Fan Zhen suggested that Guo Wei announced a new policy to restrict winemaking!
Could it be that the drunkard also offended Fan Xianggong?
In fact, in troubled times, the people are the first to survive, and the amount of wine consumes too much, which will inevitably cause a crisis of food shortage. During the Three Kingdoms period, when the wars were most frequent, Liu Bei strictly banned alcohol, and if he secretly stored the equipment for winemaking, he would be severely punished.
In particular, Cao Mengde, who shouted "Singing about wine, the geometry of life", actually asked for a ban on alcohol.
Fan quality requires restrictions rather than prohibitions, and with his considerations, the court is certainly not happy to see a waste of food. Since the Han and Tang dynasties, the imperial court has implemented a monopoly on liquor, and the liquor tax is also an important source of revenue.
He limited the amount of wine he made, which not only saved food, but also raised the price of wine, which could bring more revenue to the imperial court.
Fan Xianggong is shrewd, and Ye Hua also has his own abacus.
I don't mix grain wine, but the court can't say anything about fruit wine, right?
Plant fruit trees, plant grapes, Ye Hua wants to get a winery out!
"You still know how to make wine?" Miss Fu San's eyes widened, expressing disbelief.
"What's so hard about making wine! In fact, you don't need koji, the grapes have a layer of hoarfrost on them, which is the natural yeast, you pick the grapes, mash them, put them in the jar, add some honey, seal them with puree, and after a few months, you can drink sweet wine! ”
"Really?" Fu San asked in surprise.
"It's just a small skill of carving insects, what am I lying to you for!"
"Okay, I'll try, if it works, we'll write it off, I won't say you're a liar!" Fu three degrees of Taoism.
Ye Hua rolled his eyes, after learning my skills, I will change your image if you don't slander me, this account is too cost-effective!
Sure enough, only women and villains are difficult to raise!
Master Confucius also told the truth.
After talking a lot, Ye Hua's mouth was dry, and he wanted to send Miss Fu San back. But Ye Hua found that before he knew it, the sky had darkened.
When I return to Beijing at this moment, I promise to eat behind closed doors!
Ye Hua couldn't help it.
He can only leave Fu San to rest temporarily in the workshop, but fortunately there is a special residential area for female workers here, and it is not difficult to find a clean and spacious room for Fu San and arrange a few people to take care of him.
Xiao Nizi is not a picky eater, it is a big meat bun eaten by craftsmen, she sent 5 to Ye Hua, let Fu San eliminate 3, and only left two for Ye Hua, and I don't know how to fit a small body!
"Big Stomach!"
Ye Hua complained, seeing that Fu San did not add to the chaos, Ye Hua was rarely compassionate.
"That third girl, do you want to have fun?"
"What?"
Fu San leaned against his body, without any image.
Ye Hua asked her to get up, and when the two of them went to the open space outside, Ye Hua moved out a bunch of firecrackers!
This is not the same as ordinary firecrackers, but the black powder firecrackers he made!
As mentioned earlier, since the Tang Dynasty, gunpowder has appeared, but the formula is not quite right...... Ye Hua took the time to make gunpowder according to the correct recipe, and also made fireworks by the way.
Ye Hua signaled and asked Fu San to light the fuse.
Sparks splashed around, and there was silence for a while, and with a bang, the fire burst out.
Fu San was taken aback, thinking that Ye Hua was playing tricks on her, it was really necrotic, she turned her head and glared at Ye Hua viciously.
Ye Hua pointed to the sky, Fu San turned his head at this time, and just saw that the firecrackers exploded in the air, turning into countless bright red fires, like thousands of peach blossoms blooming, although it was only for a moment, but Fu San's little face was red and bright, and Xiao Nizi felt that her throat was choked......
