Three Kingdoms: My wife invited me out of the mountain to ascend the throne while living in seclusio

He secretly rejoiced: From now on... he finally got on the boat of Brother Jiu Ru, and he was going to work together with Brother Jiu Ru.

"Brother Jiuru, what shall we do next?"

At this time Xu Shu asked.

For the tens of thousands of refugees, setting up camp is only a temporary settlement, and taking root here is the long-term solution.

"Go and pick three thousand strong men for me. Pick them from among the refugees. Don't move the army."

"In addition, post a notice that from today onwards, all refugees will start collecting money for meals."

Liu Chuan said.

"What?!"

"No, Brother Jiuru..."

"How can they have money to eat? If they have money to eat, who would be a refugee?"

Xu Shu and Zhuge Liang looked at Liu Chuan in amazement at the same time, quite puzzled.

"If you don't have money to eat, then make money!"

Liu Chuan said calmly.

"make money?"

Xu Shu and Zhuge Liang are still quite puzzled, where to make money?

In troubled times, where is it so easy to make money?

"That's right! Make money!"

"These refugees will be the first batch of native residents of Tongque City in the future, so from now on, we will instill a thought in them..."

"living comfortably without anybody's help!"

Liu Chuan narrowed his eyes and said.

"Do it yourself and have enough food and clothing. This is true and reasonable!"

Zhuge Liang was quite impressed.

He understood that these words must have great encouragement to the spirit of the refugees.

It's not just refugees, it's a great inspiration to everyone.

"Announce to all the refugees: Starting today, we will be paid for our work, and if they want to eat, they have to use money to buy it!"

Liu Chuan said.

"What...pay them?"

Xu Shu was stunned for a moment, he was quite puzzled, how could anyone pay the refugees?

Say.

If you pay the refugees and then use the money to buy food from them, why not just give them the money and let them eat for free?

Liu Chuan's move...it seems a bit redundant, why bother so much?

"Let them make money to buy food, won't the money come back?"

"Then Tongque City was built, and the refugees became stable people. It's multi-purpose."

Liu Chuan glanced at Xu Shu and said calmly.

"Hahaha... High, really high! Brother Jiu Ru is indeed a genius in governing the people!"

Zhuge Liang suddenly laughed on the sidelines, and then sighed.

Xu Shu also didn't react for a while, and it seemed that it was exactly as he thought, and it seemed a bit unnecessary.

But actually, of course not!

Because everyone is different, not everyone will be very active in their work.

If you just give them food, will they be active in doing things?

Anyway, if there is food to eat, what is the use of being active?

People's inertia is infinite, especially when there is no hope in sight and no progress.

but.

If Liu Chuan's actions are followed, all refugees who want to have food, more food or better food must have money!

If you want to be rich, you have to work hard!

In this way, wouldn't the enthusiasm of the refugees be mobilized?

Liu Chuan took a deep look at Zhuge Liang.

As expected of Zhuge Liang, his intelligence is really not comparable to that of ordinary people.

He saw the intention at a glance.

"Aha, look at my brain!"

"Brother Jiuru, this method is similar to "teaching him to fish is worse than teaching him to fish"."

At this time Xu Shu also reacted.

He's not stupid, it's just that he just fell into the idea that refugees don't need to be paid for work, and he didn't think about it for a while, so he didn't react.

"Brother Jiuru, I have one more question..."

"With so many people, our food supply may not last long, at most half a year."

"Therefore, we have to reclaim the wasteland in time and cultivate the fields, otherwise we may not be able to hold on if we sit and eat the mountains and empty mountains."

Xu Shu said slightly worried.

"Of course I have arrangements!"

"It will be announced in a while, and after all the refugees are resettled, divide them into two parts."

"Some people with little strength stayed at home to reclaim wasteland, farm the fields, and plant all the sweet potatoes for me."

"The other part is best to be strong and powerful people, and I will select them all for the construction of Tongque City."

"To put it simply, for a family of refugees, those who are not strong enough can stay at home to grow sweet potatoes, and those who are strong can come out to do construction and make money."

Liu Chuan said.

With such a large population, the food they eat every day is a big problem. Of course, it won’t work if you just sit and eat. No matter how rich you are, you won’t last long.

but!

The food can last for half a year...half a year, in fact, it is completely enough for Liu Chuan.

The sweet potatoes and potatoes are ripe and harvested in half a year!

Are you afraid you won't have anything to eat?

"Okay, then I'll arrange it right away."

"Hey, brother Jiuru, how do you solve the housing problem of refugees you mentioned?"

Xu Shu suddenly remembered that this matter has not been resolved yet.

With so many people, the first thing to solve is the problem of housing and food, and the problem of food is not a big problem, but housing is still a big problem.

Asking Wei Yan to arrange for the refugees to set up camps can only be done in a short period of time, and it is definitely not a long-term solution.

"They are all residents of Tongque City! Of course they live in the city."

"I have a secret recipe here, take it and keep it safe."

"Choose some good players for me, and we will start building Tongque City from tomorrow."

Liu Chuan took a piece of paper and handed it to Xu Shu.

"Secret recipe?"

Xu Shu was startled, and when Liu Chuan said it was a secret recipe, his hand stopped in the air and he didn't dare to pick it up.

"Brother Jiuru, since it's a secret recipe, it's better to keep it in your hands."

Xu Shu said hesitantly.

He admired Liu Chuan, and what Liu Chuan could call a secret recipe must be extremely valuable, so he didn't want to take it.

He wants to show his respect for Liu Chuan, which is also his principle of being a human being.

"Take what is given to you. It's not a secret that cannot be disclosed."

Liu Chuan said indifferently.

Cement and lime are not secrets that need to be kept. Handing them over can make this era progress.

He doesn't skimp on doing it at all.

But Xu Shu took it cautiously with trembling hands, and then opened the paper.

"Cement...lime, what is this?"

Xu Shu was stunned for a moment.

"You won't know until you get it out?"

"That's what we build our houses with."

Liu Chuan said.

The importance of cement and lime is deeply understood by later generations.

To say how important it is, you only need to raise your head and look around to see that there are houses and roads made of cement everywhere.

It was also the appearance of cement and lime that allowed people to have a solid and safe living environment.

Lime is relatively simple in process, but cement is more complicated.

Although the complexity of cement is higher, the history of cement is longer.

If you ask who invented cement, it is estimated that no one can answer.

Because its history is too far-reaching, and there is even a fault in the middle.

Even if countless archaeologists in later generations have studied it, they have not explored which period cement originated from?

Regarding the invention time of cement, there are two sayings among the people, and these two are also the most common ones.

First, cement was invented by the ancient Romans.

The reason is: because most of the buildings in ancient Rome were made of cement.

Second, cement was invented by the Egyptians about 5000 years ago.

The reason is: the pyramids in Egypt are buildings made of concrete.

Which of the two popular sayings is true and which is false?

In fact, it is not easy to judge at all.

After all, so many years have passed, and many historical faults have appeared, so it is really hard to find the source if you want to trace it.

But in any case, cement was carried forward through the ancient Romans.

The cement used by the ancient Romans is indeed very strong, strong and durable enough.

But the cement they invented has a great disadvantage, that is, it dries too slowly.

If it is constructed in a relatively dry place, this problem is quite easy to overcome.

But if the construction is carried out in a wet place, this shortcoming will not only delay the construction, but may also damage the building.

So this is a very difficult question.

but!

After finding the shortcomings, there will always be a smart person to find a way to improve, and this smart person is an Englishman.

The Englishman was an excellent water and wood engineer, and he once used ancient Roman cement in a construction project.

Because he discovered the fatal flaw of cement when he was building a lighthouse.

In order to solve this shortcoming, he did many, many experiments, but he did not have strong knowledge in chemistry, so many attempts ended in failure.
