Chapter 401 This Fuck Is Called the Pillar of the Country (Second Update)
Chapter 399

"Thinking to bring down this stone wall in half an hour? However, with this little manpower and these tools, it may be a bit difficult to bring this thing down, let alone half an hour, even if it is given to them They can't do it for a day."

Wang Yang looked at the demolition team of the Great Song Imperial Army who were busy smashing the wall and said in a low voice.

It's not that I despise them, but this stone wall is really difficult to destroy. After all, even if this thing is a weakened version of reinforced concrete, it is still extremely difficult to demolish.

Even if the demolition teams of later generations want to demolish concrete stone pillars and concrete structures, they have to use those large demolition machines, otherwise, if they want to dismantle them manually, it may take ten days and a half months to get rid of a three-foot pillar. Square concrete columns.

What's more, this is not a column, but a concrete wall with a thickness of one meter. Even if it is a large-scale machine with an internal combustion engine, it will take a lot of effort to tear down this solid and thick wall .

Seeing Wang Yang chatting and laughing with Chen Andao so easily, he didn't care the slightest bit about those soldiers of the imperial army who were tired and covered in stinky juice, gnashing their teeth and tinkering with the stone wall there.

Zhao Xu couldn't help heaving a sigh of relief, and couldn't help feeling eager in his heart. After using cement, even the slippery pebbles were almost completely integrated into a whole, and they were so strong and durable.

I'm afraid that the city wall built with green bricks may not be so powerful, thinking that if the border fortresses of the Song Dynasty in the northern border were all so strong.So how can those Xixia and Liao kingdoms have another chance to easily destroy the border fortress of the Song Dynasty?

Well, another two quarters of an hour has passed, and the wall is still standing strong. Doesn’t that explain the problem?
Although the officers and soldiers of the forbidden army still did not give up, it was enough to see from the potholes that were knocked out that even if they were given another half an hour, the stone wall would not be able to fall down.

Although everyone could see that the continuation of the forbidden generals was futile, everyone still waited patiently for half an hour.

In the end, the general of the Forbidden Army who had just gone shirtless to push the city cart had no choice but to walk up to Gao Taotao to hand in the order. "I apologize to the empress, this stone wall is too strong, unless I wait for another day, otherwise, I am afraid there is no way to destroy it."

Gao Taotao's eyes fell on Wang Yang and asked. "Wang Qing's family, what's wrong with this cement? Is there any way to make it collapse in the shortest time?"

"Well, I have no other choice but to use brute force to destroy it. After all, this is not a mud wall and it is not afraid of water at all. As for fire..." Wang Yang was also helpless. In later generations, what are construction waste and cement particles? It's just construction waste.

"Moreover, even after being smashed, if you use these broken materials and mix them with the adjusted cement mortar to make up, after it dries in the shade, it can almost be said to be in an intact state."

"...So that's the case." Gao Taotao nodded, and stopped asking Wang Yang, but set his eyes on the dejected general of the forbidden army.

"It's okay, General Li. Since you can't do it for half an hour, then you continue to think of a way. When you smash this wall down, Ai's family will give you the reward you promised. Ladies and gentlemen, let's go." Gao Taotao Looking at the wall that was covered with scars, it still stood tall and said.

Well, this thing is indeed very strong, but the problem is that this is outside the Yuehua Gate, which was originally an empty square like that outside the Rihua Gate, but now there is such a stone wall here, don’t destroy it , it really feels too disharmonious, and the important thing is that it hinders the feng shui of the Song Dynasty royal family.

The officers and soldiers of the imperial army were left behind and let them figure out their own way to be the demolition team, while a group of civil and military ministers followed Gao Taotao back to the Wende Hall.

The ministers have also recovered from the shock just now, but everyone looked at Wang Yang with eyes full of envy or jealousy.

How old is this kid?First, he created Yuanyou Printing, which caused a sensation in Bianliang. Now, although Yuanyou Printing has not yet been popularized.

But the speed at which books are printed by the Royal Commercial Press, even if the Royal Commercial Press is currently only accepting orders from the court, really makes the bookstore owners in the entire Bianliang area terrified.

The books in the hands of booksellers have also begun to decline in an orderly manner. In the past, a set of "The Analects of Confucius" cost five guan of gold, but now it has almost dropped to [-] guan of gold.

Those scholars praised it one after another, thinking that it was the credit of Yuanyou's printing technique, but how could they expect that Yuanyou's printing technique has not been spread at all, and if the emperor announced the announcement of Yuanyou's printing technique, he would not know To what extent will the prices of books that were so cherished in the past drop.

It is precisely because of the protection of the printing industry of the Song Dynasty, coupled with Wang Yang's persuasion, that the Song Dynasty can print a large number of Buddhist scriptures and the like, and secretly sell them to Xixia and Liao to make money, so the emperor agreed to continue. Hidden Yuanyou typography.

Not to mention Yuanyou's printing technique, but just talking about Yuanyou cement, its firmness has actually surpassed the cognition of those veterans who have fought in Shacheng.

It is believed that once this kind of cement can be applied to the construction of the border forts of the Song Dynasty, it will definitely make the border villages of the Song Dynasty as solid as gold.

When the Song Dynasty lacked cavalry, being able to rely on solid city defenses to defend against the enemy was originally what every Song Dynasty military general hoped to see most.

"Does this kind of thing need to be boiled in advance?"

"No, it only needs to be transported to the construction site, and a certain proportion of water, sand and lime are added and stirred."

"In addition, besides this kind of cement, there is another kind of quick-drying cement, which can speed up the setting speed by almost half. It is most suitable for emergency construction projects, but the firmness of that kind of cement requires It's worse than this."

"You mean, two catties of cement like this is worth three Wen? How much did you spend building this section of the city wall?"

"It's about three hundred catties. Calculated, it's about nine hundred Wen."

"Aren't there any shortcomings in this thing?"

"Yes, that is, this Yuanyou cement is not resistant to moisture, so it must be packed and transported in oil paper bags. After use, it is best to tie the bag tightly to prevent moisture in the air from entering. Otherwise, it will easily dry out and stick together. as a solid stone."

"The north has always been bitterly cold. In that place, there is no need to worry about being too humid." said a military general who once stayed in northern Xinjiang.

"Another reason is that because it needs to be mixed with water and mud when it is used, it cannot be used when the weather is too cold and freezing. Because in that case, the water will precipitate and cannot be fully mixed with this Yuanyou cement. Mix together and slowly solidify."

"This is a trouble..."

"What's the matter? No matter how cold it is in the north, it will take three or four months to freeze. As long as you don't start work in the cold winter, you will be done."

One minister after another raised questions, and Wang Yang responded to them one by one without any panic.Zhao Xu was very satisfied, listening to the question and answer between Wang Yang and those generals who were familiar with the military strategy, he couldn't say how happy he was.

Talent, what the hell is talent, the pillar of the country, the talent of the country.Look at the article "Young China" written by others with great literary talent. I don't know how many young people use it as a life motto to flaunt themselves.

As for Wu...well, all the majestic champions of martial arts let this champion of literature get down, which shows that his skills are indeed very civil and military, and he is very versatile.

　I'm really sorry that there are so many things going on during this time, but I will make sure to update at least twice a day. I hope you can understand me.
