The steel industry consumes a lot of water, energy, and human resources, and Zhang De actually wants to build a primary coal and steel industry in the interior of the Central Plains, but this is impossible. The system of the Tang Empire decided that he couldn't do this, even if he could do it when the time came, it wouldn't be his turn.

So Zhang De has been compromising in a roundabout way, even if the boss of Datang Empire Co., Ltd. wants to hack his money and his equipment, gritting his teeth, for the sake of long-term interests, as soon as he closes his eyes, he will be given by a dog.

"At the age of Master Wang, it's okay."

Another letter came from Hebei Province, and Wang Xiaotong had already led people to start arranging drainage canals. His practice is the old practice since the Han Dynasty, that is, to dig a trench first, reverse the trapezoid, and then pile up manpower to tamp the construction surface. The ceramic pipes are then grooved and sealed with mud. The pottery sleeve is large at one end and small at the other, and then socketed together to form a closed drainage pipe.

Then the sides of the drainage canal were reinforced, and you could use green bricks, or you could mine stone, and then cover it with slate, wood planks, or whatever.

The cover is not buried directly with soil to prevent the oppressive destruction of the ceramic pipe.

In order to make qualified ceramic pipes in the Han Dynasty, the thickness of the pipe wall was very large, so the sleeve was very heavy, and the construction was no less difficult for ordinary people than to give the foundation of the Great Wall market.

However, Zhang De repeatedly assured Wang Xiaotong that he had a way to improve the strength and toughness of the ceramic pipes, so that longer pipes could be fired and the construction would be less difficult.

Besides, there is also a pulley group, after laying the track, with the gantry, the construction difficulty is sharply reduced, and the consumption of ordinary labor is only on earthwork mining.

In the past, iron and steel were made. They are all made in the open air, although the piston wooden bellows were born very early. However, it still restricts the output of small blast furnaces.

Indoor steelmaking and ironmaking is the general trend, and in the northern part of Hebei Province in the year of Zhenguan. Hydropower is more than 10 times more abundant than it was 1,500 years ago.

The biggest headache is still manpower.

As a mathematician, Wang Xiaotong is not only calculating earthwork quantities in his spare time, but also learning advanced calculation tools - abacus.

This is one of the few good things that Lao Zhang has never pretended to be forced in front of people, and only a few little kids know that there is such a toy.

And none of the six ministers knew that there was such a thing.

On the ninth day of the ninth month of September, His Majesty the Emperor found a wild man, and gave him a gift of ten thousand gold and a cane. also praised the county order of a certain county in Guanzhong, saying that the young man was good and promising, and he could be a good man.

However, Lao Zhang is disdainful, why has the Tang Dynasty been founded for so long, and there is not even a centenarian? What the hell is wrong with this country? The only centenarian who was born was actually from the Northern Wei Dynasty, sad. Lao Zhang couldn't help but fall into a big wave of contemplation, wondering if it was taking advantage of the fact that Endless August had just passed. After hurriedly greeting the emperor, he went to Hebei.

The Daming Palace project is still continuing, but Lao Zhang's main work is actually to design a set of palaces that are in line with the spiritual outlook of the Emperor Taishang. On the dragon's head, it is necessary to show the domineering and distinctive spirit of the emperor.

In short, this is nominally repaired by an old chairman. But it must be Li Dong himself who enjoys it.

And in short. For the sake of the "universal value" of benevolence and filial piety, Li Dong decided to use the name of democracy. Let the court pay for the lord of the people. Cultural relics and ministers plus poor middle peasants, for the sake of the emperor's benevolence and filial piety, you have to pay a little, don't you?

Then there was a stinky shameless sycophant surnamed Hou, who said that the emperor, we are okay now, do you think it is a little fulcrum tax? It's not too much, Weichen looks at Jiangnan Province, Huainan Province, Henan Province is very good.

The faces of some ministers with complicated relationships here such as the eldest grandson Wuji are green, Fang Qiao is fine, Du Ruhui has just resumed sex at this time, and his son has just had a relationship with Zhang Gongjin's son and nephew, so he just had a friendship with Jiangnan Yankee, why are you so surnamed Hou?

Shechen villain! Squirt him! Let go of Lao Wei!

However, what I never expected was that the second marshal of the East Palace staff and the master of the white fan, Ma Zhou, who betrayed the revolution, did not change his face and played before Wei Zheng: "To call the hope of all directions, then the great filial piety is famous in the world." ”

And then...... The Emperor accepted it.

The faces of the eldest grandson Wuji and the others turned greener.

the slot horse Zhou, where are you! How did Zhang Dalang train? Is there any royal law left? Still unreasonable? And the prince, what are you doing, usually everyone sees that you are clear and talkative, why can't you even control your own dog? Faint!

Qi Guogong was furious, the old man invested so many manpower and material resources in Jiangnan Huainan Henan, you especially Hou Junji dared to go against the old man in order to get on the throne, you are killing yourself!

However, the emperor smiled slightly: "Benevolence and filial piety, at all." The emperor's summer retreat should be slightly increased, but it should not be extravagant, for fear of violating the emperor's frugal virtues. Three taxes, more. ”

When the comrades heard that the great leader was reasonable, they all smiled, although it was a bit braggart to mention that the great leader's father was thrifty, but this did not hinder the result.

However, I never expected that Li Dong's words changed: "Only one in Jiangnan is enough." ”

What the hell are you ...... Tricks!

The eldest grandson Wuji held a mouthful of old blood in his heart, his brother-in-law, the emperor, is really not covered.

At the end of the court meeting, Lao Zhang, who was experimenting with the extraction of artemisinin from organic matter at room temperature in the eastern suburbs, wrote down a number in his small notebook: 9527.

Fail.

The Nobel Prize is not so easy to get.

"Damn, the creatures are all open, aren't they? Where does Lao Tzu remember so many ghost processes. ”

While he was scolding, another person visited, but saw a rare ox cart parked outside the door.

The ox cart is rustic, but the force is very high. Generally, people from the scholar family will do this, and the handlebar style of the car is unique.

After calling the door, a certain teenager who was stalling pancakes in the kitchen opened the door, bared half his head and asked, "Who are you looking for?" ”

"But Zhang Liangfeng's house? The old decay Luoyang Zheng family guest, surnamed Zhao, the fourth line in the family, Xiaolang can call the old decayed Zhao Si. ”

"There is no one named Zhang Liangfeng here."

The pancake boy untied his apron, and then looked at Zhao Si: "You haven't eaten yet, have you?" There are also seven or eight pancakes in the stove, which are delicious. Stay less, go and come. ”

Then the pancake boy threw his apron, hung it on the bolted horse stake outside the door, and hurriedly turned around.

Zhao Si was stunned for a moment, then hugged his fists, returned to the ox cart, and said, "Lady, that Xiaolang said that this is not Zhang Liangfeng's mansion." ”

"Brother, these pancakes are delicious."

Pang Que smiled innocently, stuffed the pancakes over, took a glass bottle with a bottle of water, handed it over and said, "There is also a bottle of cane juice water here, the mountain chief will reward it, give it." ”

Zhao Si was stunned, staring at the glass bottle for a long time, his heart was shocked, what is this kind of treasure used for? Sugarcane juice?

"Where is Zhang Liangfeng from the brother is looking for? It's also a coincidence, the mountain chief is also surnamed Zhang, maybe he knows it. ”

Pang Que, who looked proud, took a bite of a pancake, and his mouth full of ingredients was there.

"Oh, what the old man said about Zhang Liangfeng, is the male of Liangfeng County named by His Majesty, Jiangdong Zhang Dalang, who once served as the school secretary, the nephew of Zou Guogong, the reputation of the capital, the old man came from Luoyang, just arrived in Beijing, there is an old acquaintance who said that he came to the eastern suburbs, this is to find."

The pancake boy blinked: Huh? This seems to be looking for the mountain chief.

"Pang Que! Pang Quan! Why do you put coriander in the pancakes! Why put coriander! You come out for me, and I promise not to kill you—"

The pancake boy turned around and left in fright, not even hearing a young woman in the ox cart behind him, "Xiao Lang and slow". (To be continued.) )
