Chapter 42: True Stupidity and False Stupidity
Thank you for the reward of not fruit. In addition, Talon's urging almost made me have cerebral palsy, embarrassment--#
……
While the rest of the people assigned to repair the walls were digging and preparing the earth, a team was cutting wood and making planks, and many people felt unclear and there was no ridicule. Some of them will kindly remind them of the deadline, and some will ask curiously.
Everyone got a different response, and after asking clearly, he also began to send people to cut wood to make planks, and he was very much looking forward to what Lu Zhe was talking about as 'earth and stone engineering'.
I believe that many people are not unfamiliar with the mud injection of the construction team? In fact, what Lu Zhe wanted to do was not much different from it, and he even specialized in the materials used to repair the city wall, which was the soil transported from the nearby quagmire, the grass clippings that could be found everywhere in the wilderness, the wheat stalks in the fields, and some unrefined oil.
The Qin people have their own history of using oil, as early as the attack on the Six Kingdoms, oil bombs were an important weapon of the Qin army, and later Sima Cuo found that this kind of black thing has a strong effect on bonding, and it will be added if there are conditions when building the city wall.
It is very coincidental and fortunate that Shangjun is located in the northwest, in addition to Bashu, Shangjun is also one of the oil producing areas, so there is no shortage of all kinds of large-scale projects.
The Qin people knew that oil could ignite and be explosive, and could be bonded to build some buildings, but it was not a material for illumination. In fact, without a certain industrial base, oil cannot be refined at all, so it still has a long way to go to replace vegetable oil, soybean oil, and animal oil as lighting materials.
After the county order sent someone to arrange, the school captain carried it out according to his needs, and the Qin people never stipulated that the assigned person could not cooperate after the assignment was completed, so the two teams of the flail and Lu Zhe also merged.
Xiao He was happy with this confluence, he didn't have the pleasure of managing people, and the only reason he was happy was that his monthly salary changed from three and a half taels to six.
In today's prices, one and a half taels can buy two pieces of linen, and one horse of linen cloth for the same value can be exchanged for many things, such as a little pig or a few stones of grain.
The 1,000-strong contingent looked densely packed, and of them 600 were assigned to cut down and nail planks, the remaining 300 were sent to build the necessary work under the walls.
What do the remaining hundred do? Lu Zhe set aside a hundred people not to let them work, but as a place for rotation rest, which is also one of the most distinctive arrangements of Lu Zhe in this era. In the name of vacation, what I got was the heartfelt thanks and obedience of the people.
The structures made of wood were like the Qin people had never seen before, and this kind of labor was like building bridges in the air, and then they became a long corridor in the air, on which people could walk safely. It's just that they are very strange, why are these useful things some distance from the city wall, not directly attached to the city wall?
"The stakes supporting the frame must be deep and stable!" Lu Zhe, who was like a contractor, observed the half-built long frame while walking, and pushed it and found that there was a slight shaking, "The two sides are consolidated with ropes and piles." Now it is only three feet high, and the shelf will shake, and if it is higher, the shaking will be more powerful, and it is necessary to ensure stability, so as not to be blown down by the wind. ”
Xiao He, who was seriously recording, frowned: "It's not difficult to install a wooden frame, how to arrange the stability and distance of the wooden board when the time comes?" ”
"Well, you really can't just do one process." Lu Zhe smiled and showed two tiger teeth: "So we will install a row of planks at a distance, and according to the distribution of mechanics, it is most reasonable to separate the limit below the bearing point." We are separated by about two feet, so we can pour mud and other things at the same time, and even if they are stable, we don't need to pull out the isolation board to withstand the pressure......"
He stopped halfway through speaking, and when he looked at the pupils of his eyes that were not in focus, he knew that he was in some kind of thought.
Xiao He is not in a hurry, after getting along for a while, he has almost become accustomed to Lu Zhe falling into contemplation when he talks about it, and every time he comes back to his senses, there will always be very strange ideas that pop up.
These days, except for the occasional visit to see Liu Ji who is in prison, this Peixian county official follows Lu Zhe every day. Although it's a little strange that he can't understand some words, and many times he even thinks that he is going crazy, but it is an indescribable feeling that makes him like to communicate with Lu Zhe very much, and he also learns a lot of novel knowledge from it.
As for the bearded man? To put it mildly, not only Xiao He ......, but Lu Zhe pays attention to Liu Ji from time to time, and the two busy people simply forgot about the dog slaughterer.
“…… Modern steel bars are needed to make support points and stress points, and at this time, grass clippings, wheat straw and the like are used instead? Lu Zhe, whose pupils slowly regained focus, patted his head in distress: "This lime and the like is useless to make, not to mention steel bars in the Qin Dynasty, even the iron-making technique is not mature!" ”
Although he was very reluctant, Xiao He was already accustomed to listening to a tail obediently, and he said: "I heard that the Long clan is very good at smelting iron. ”
Lu Zhe quickly turned his head to look at Xiao He: "Huiji?" Dragon's? ”
Xiao He nodded widely: "Huiji is a relatively developed area for iron smelting in Chu, among which the Yu clan and the Long clan are the most. ”
"Oh......" This time, Lu Zhe dragged the old man's tail note, and nodded thoughtfully at the end: "The Yu family should be Yu Ji's family." Is this Long's? Is there a famous family in history with the surname Long? ”
Xiao He didn't understand what he was talking about again, but he felt very powerful.
The two of them chatted while inspecting the construction site, and they seemed to be having a good time, and they were chatting about it, when the flail appeared shouting.
"Zhe!" The flail's loud voice: "Jiao hunting for you." ”
Looking through the busy crowd from a distance, there were several people behind the flail, one of whom was Jiao Hunt, who had seen him once.
Xiao He caught the unhappiness that flashed on Lu Zhe's face in an instant, and when he saw that the person who came looked like Sven and looked noble, it was Cao, a citizen of Yangzhou County who had met him a few times. He was very puzzled as to why a tun chief would dislike the people of a large county.
Originally, he was going to stand in place and wait, but Xiao He felt that this was very impolite, and said: "Yangzhou is a big county, and Mincao is also an important official position, and the tun chief has to be stationed in Yangzhou for a long time, so don't be lazy, right?" ”
After thinking about it, Lu Zhe felt that it was indeed not advisable to offend people plainly, so he smiled at Xiao He and nodded, and the two of them also greeted him.
It was very weird and natural, Xiao He walked behind and looked at Lu Zhe's back, and was sincerely surprised. This surprise was the feeling he had when he met Lu Zhe for the first time, and at this time, he subconsciously reminded Lu Zhe to agree, and a series of interactions responded, giving him a sense of surprise like an old neighbor in the old street.
In the distance, Lu Zhe had already raised his hands in salute, waiting to get closer, but he looked at the flail with inquiring eyes.
The flail was as ignorant as ever, and he stood aside and laughed happily.
Jiao Hunt didn't speak immediately after returning the salute, his eyes kept scanning the busy Minyu, and the ones that stayed the longest were the half-built shelves.
This is the second meeting between Jiao Hunt and Lu Zhe, whose father is Yang Zhou Mincao of Sanchuan County, and he is full of curiosity when he looks at the shelves that have not yet been built. This curiosity was different from those who were purely watching, and he could probably understand why he was going to build such a shelf, and he thought of some of the planks nailed in rows upright, although he was not sure but slightly guessed the purpose.
Saluting again, Jiao Hunt smiled with a smile on his face: "It's amazing to have a mind to create." ”
"Huh?!" Lu Zhe was also smiling on his face, but he was surprised in his heart: "What does this little white face see what those things are going to do?" ”
In addition to greeting each other, Xiao He also said a few words, and mentioned Jiao Hunt's help several times, which surprised Lu Zhe again.
"It doesn't have to be." Jiao Hunt looked at Xiao He with kindness: "It's just a gesture." ”
Lu Zhe listened to a rough idea, and then guessed from Jiao Hunt's behavior towards Xiao He, this little white face seemed to feel that befriending Xiao He was very valuable, and there was a faint trace of attraction in his words and deeds.
“…… With the talent of a gentleman, it is really condescending to be this superintendent. Jiao Hunt glanced at Lu Zhe from the corner of his eyes, and then looked at Xiao He with a smile: "If Mr. needs money, just talk to Hunt." ”
Lu Zhe smelled a smell called "charity" from his words, so he no longer thought about what Jiao Hunting wanted to befriend Xiao He.
This kind of friendship is called Corporal Lixian in this era in terms of the value of the two, but will Xiao He agree with this kind of friendship?
Judging from Xiao He's smile and politeness, it seems to be very polite? But the disgust that appears from time to time in the eyes cannot be hidden!
Lu Zhe, who had almost no sense of existence, saw that the two of them seemed to be talking very speculatively, but in fact, it was estimated that they didn't realize that their words were full of dry flattery and nonsense.
Nobody cares, right? He had no choice but to take care of the flail that was even more nonexistent.
The flail was smiling all the time, and his dark face looked very simple to see. In fact, in Lu Zhe's opinion, this kind of smile is just about hanging the word "cerebral palsy" on his head.
Lu Zhe's face was stinky: "What is this guy doing here?" ”
The flail said, "That little white face you are talking about? He said that the forest you ordered Minyu to cut down belonged to the Jiao clan. ”
"What!?" Lu Zhe was stunned, he felt a little inexplicable: "I asked before I ordered the felling, and that forest is the public property of Yangzhou County. After that, he asked for the prefectural order, and only after taking the permission codex did he order the felling. ”
The flail actually learned to do an innocent shrug! He looked indebted: "Really stupid or fake stupid?" I've been stationed in Yangzhou for more than half a year, and I don't know the status of the Daojiao clan in Yangzhou County? ”
Lu Zhe laughed out loud, and when he saw Jiao Hunt looking over and looking away, he lowered his voice: "Jiao's is really an insatiable family, do you really think that Jiao's is covering the sky with one hand in Yangzhou?" ”
The flail nodded seriously: "It is indeed only one hand to cover the sky." According to you, the more greedy you are, the faster you die? I heard that Jiao's was not like this before. ”
Lu Zhe shook his head unconsciously: "No matter what this little white face is here for, I just have to accept it first." ”
He didn't know what the Jiao clan was like in Yangzhou County before, but now judging from the Jiao clan's infighting and the greed he showed, he knew very well that the Jiao clan was not far from a catastrophe.
