I really don't want to be a rebel [infrastructure]

Luo Shixing squatted there and began to think while fiddling with the bricks. The piling foundations used to be treated tree stakes.

First of all, there is no need to consider the decay of wooden piles in the ground, or the decay speed is not so fast, and the pile foundation does not need to fully bear the weight of the building.

But the columns are not good. The columns almost bear most of the weight of the building, so they must be strong and durable.

In later generations, this kind of thing is usually made of cement concrete, so the question arises... Where did he go to steal the cement concrete, maybe he will have to make it himself again.

No, this is really not something that can be done just by thinking about it.

Because if you want cement concrete, you need various raw materials first.

From before to now, the raw materials they used to build houses are all local materials, but cement concrete is not good, because there is one raw material for this thing that they have never obtained so far, and that is volcanic ash.

In Luo Shixing's memory, the volcanoes of the entire flower planter are roughly distributed in the northeast region, Inner Mongolia, and the two provinces of Shanxi and Hebei. Not to mention these places, they are not only thousands of miles away, but two or three thousand miles away!

The rest are in Leizhou Peninsula, Hainan Island, Tengchong in Yunnan, Qiangtang Plateau, and Taiwan, and the closest to them is Tengchong in Yunnan.

However, the problem is that these are Cenozoic volcanoes of later generations. It is not known whether these volcanoes were active in the Tang Dynasty more than 1000 years ago, or whether there was volcanic ash.

Luo Shixing frowned and worried, Cheng Jingwei asked: "What? There are no suitable materials? If there are no suitable materials, it is not impossible to choose stones to build."

Luo Shixing immediately shook his head: "Stones are not good, they are too unstable."

Large pieces of rock require a very strong adhesive to have a certain degree of stability, and cement is usually used to make the adhesive, isn't this going back again?

If he can make cement, why choose stone?

Cheng Jingwei patted Mao Mao's head and said, "Don't worry, if it doesn't work, just ask Alezhen."

Luo Shixing looked up at the sky: "It's not that you haven't seen their house, the Alezhen county government is not very good either."

Ale really wants to say that if he is rich, he is really rich, but his county government really shows that no matter how rich he is, it is useless without superb craftsmanship and infrastructure materials, at least compared to some wealthy counties in the Central Plains. Ya is much worse.

This...Cheng Jingwei really has no way to refute, he can only hold his hand while pulling him up and say, "That won't make you worry like this."

After Luo Shixing stood up, his body swayed and he almost fell to the ground. Cheng Jingwei quickly supported him and asked, "What's wrong? What's wrong?"

Luo Shixing wrinkled his face and said, "My feet...the feet are numb!"

He just thought too seriously and kept squatting on the ground, and when he got up, he felt that his feet were not his own.

Cheng Jingwei had no choice but to carry the little lynx back. On the way, he continued to say, "Don't worry so much, if it doesn't work, wouldn't it be the same to build it with bricks?"

Luo Shixing sighed: "But I didn't use bricks in my previous design. Bricks are not bad, but they are definitely not the best. Hey, I didn't expect to ignore this matter."

This is the shortcoming of pure theory. When calculating, it is easy to ignore the real situation at the moment and come up with goals that are not easy to achieve.

Cheng Jingwei was a little puzzled: "Since you can do the calculations like this, it means that you are successful. Why are you stuck here?"

Luo Shixing had troubles and couldn't tell. He calculated according to the method of later generations. In later generations, cement is a cheap and easy-to-use basic building material. This has formed a habit, so... that can't be blamed on him.

He stretched his arms around Cheng Jingwei's neck and said hesitantly: "Actually, it's not impossible, isn't it... we don't have money, and it's impossible to get local materials."

Cheng Jingwei asked, "What is it?"

Luo Shixing said, "Glutinous rice mortar."

This thing can be said to be the strongest concrete in ancient China, and its strength is even comparable to some cements of later generations.

The reason why it was not widely used and finally eliminated is...too expensive!

Glutinous rice mortar requires a lot of glutinous rice, which is really a luxury in this era when most people are still hungry.

This is also the reason why Luo Shixing never put this thing into the plan. Even if they could buy glutinous rice, where would they have the money to buy it?

In fact, if you don’t use glutinous rice, ordinary Sanhe soil is not bad, but the particles of Sanhe soil are large and the viscosity is not so good.

Luo Shixing wanted it to be used to build houses, even if things like Sanhe clay were used when building the Great Wall, he would still be worried.

What's more, the Great Wall was built in the north, where the climate is relatively dry, who knows what will happen to the compound soil in the humid south?

After hearing this, Cheng Jingwei was silent for a while and said, "Actually, you are also rich."

Luo Shixing immediately pricked up his ears: "Huh? Where did you get the money?"

Is there something he overlooked?

Cheng Jing slightly sighed, lifted the man up and said, "You already have a salt well, among other things, you will still have the money to buy glutinous rice, right?"

Of course, it also depends on the amount needed, but if it’s really not possible, you can borrow a little from Alezhen first, and then you can pay it back slowly. As long as there is a salt well, Luo Shixing’s money will continue to flow, and borrowing money will be more effective Confidence is still on.

Luo Shixing was stunned on the spot, and then realized, yes, he has a salt well!

It's just that he's been busy recently, so he hasn't checked the situation of Yanjing.

Luo Shixing patted Cheng Jingwei on the back and said, "Let's go, I'll go back and change, let's go to the county government to find Wei Weng!"

The little lynx was writhing in excitement, Cheng Jingwei hurriedly stabilized his figure and said, "It's getting late today, let's go tomorrow, and take Wang Antong there to register him."

Wang Gouzi is still a black household, so it's not appropriate to think about it. Seeing that Alezhen is very enthusiastic about farming, he seems to want to restore the glory of his ancestors.

If the land is really cultivated, then the land must be divided. It is inevitable in ancient and modern China and abroad that the land should be divided according to the head. It is better for Wang Antong to have a registered permanent residence than to have no registered permanent residence!

Luo Shixing looked up and thought about it, so he could only hold back his excitement and wait for the next day.

As a result, as soon as he finished washing the next day, he saw Cheng Jingwei patted the chair with a comb and the pile of bone beads and said, "Come here, let me comb your hair."

Luo Shixing's head was full of question marks: "What kind of hair do you wear?"

It's not that he doesn't know how to do it himself, and now he has evolved to know how to wear a bun.

Cheng Jingwei said: "When you go to the county government, you have to tidy up. You are the high priest of the Ouluo clan, how can you not trim your appearance?"

Even though they usually wear clothes and comb their hair more casually here, Cheng Jingwei still has a little bit of the mainstream thinking of the scholar class in his bones, you have to wear appropriate clothes and accessories when you go out regardless of your status.

Luo Shixing looked at the clothes that Cheng Jingwei found for him, and it turned out to be priest clothes.

He hesitated: "This should be worn on important occasions, right? No one wears a dress every day, right?"

Cheng Jingwei silently opened the box sent by Alezhen and signaled Luo Shixing to take a look. Luo Shixing went over and found that the box was filled with clothes of the same style, at most, the pattern was a little different.

The priestly clothes of the Ouluo clan are mainly black and purple, with patterns all dyed, and the clothes are not very thick, but what Luo Shixing doesn't understand the most is why the priestly clothes don't have matching shoes.

That is to say, there are no shoes in this set of clothes, but since Luo Shixing is not used to bare feet, Cheng Jingwei directly bought him straw sandals with tied ropes in a very light color, which made it look like he didn't wear shoes from a distance.

Although it does not conform to the customs of the Ouluo tribe, Cheng Jingwei said that the current priest's attire is also prescribed by the previous priests. Luo Shixing is already a priest, so naturally he has the right to modify it.

So in fact, his everyday clothes are like this?

Seeing the shocked look of the little lynx, Cheng Jingwei opened another box and said, "This is the dress."

Compared with the one he found, there were only two sets of clothes in the other box, and at least five sets in the regular suit box, so that you can see how complicated the dress is by comparison.

Luo Shixing silently closed the suitcase, sat on the bamboo chair with a sigh, poked his elbows on the table, held his face and said, "Take it easy, it hurts a lot when you get pulled."

Cheng Jingwei was full of confidence: "Don't worry."

He said don't worry, that's really reassuring, at least Luo Shixing didn't feel the pain caused by being pulled by a hair occasionally during the whole process, let alone the pain of being pulled by his hair.

Moreover, the braids are also moderately tight, which won't make him feel that his scalp is particularly tight, and at the same time, the braids won't look too loose.

After editing it, Luo Shixing shook his head, feeling that his acceptance of this hairstyle had increased a bit, so he couldn't help giving Cheng Jingwei a thumbs up: "Ah Wei, your hands are really dexterous."

If it was such a process, then Luo Shixing would not be so against braiding his hair.

Cheng Jingwei gathered all the small braids behind him together with the last colored thread, but instead of tying them into ponytails, they tied them behind his head.

This will not delay the lynx cat wearing his tiger hat.

After finishing it, Cheng Jingwei took a look and was very satisfied. By the way, he helped Luo Shixing put on the pile of silver ornaments again. First, the earrings were changed from plain rings to earrings with black stones, and then the collar on the neck, wrists and feet. Silver ring on the wrist.

When Luo Shixing put on the bracelet, Cheng Jingwei squatted down and held his ankle and began to put it on.

Luo Shixing quickly pulled his feet out and said, "I'll do it myself, you go and change your clothes first."

Cheng Jingwei let go of his hand and didn't rush to change clothes, but looked at the shape of the little lynx.

After this □□, the little lynx instantly changed from a slovenly child supported by his appearance to a decent priest of the Ouluo tribe.

Compared to him, Cheng Jingwei looked much simpler, he chose a black suit to put on and tied his hair up.

Wang Antong was even simpler, because before giving him a bath, Cheng Jingwei found that Wang Antong's messy hair was basically hopeless, so he simply cut off part of his hair, so now Wang Antong can't tie his hair at all, he can only Loose hair.

Not to mention clothes, neither Luo Shixing nor Cheng Jingwei is short of clothes now, except for Luo Shixing's priest clothes, just find him any one.

The three of them were ready to set off after packing up. Before leaving, Luo Shixing was still thinking about whether to bring some gifts, after all, he had to come to the door.

However, he was stopped by Cheng Jingwei, who reminded Luo Shixing: "According to the custom over there, the status of the priest is higher than that of the patriarch. According to the normal procedure, you should send someone to call the patriarch, and then Ah Lezhen will come over in person. This time, it was because we happened to have something to do and you came to the door in person because you were Ale’s true brother, so there was no need for a gift.”

Luo Shixing nodded half-understanding, and then a cane inlaid with red stones was stuffed in his hand.

He looked helplessly at the cane in his hand. It was made of some unknown material. It was pitch black, with a red stone of unknown material inlaid on the top. The most important thing was that it was long and heavy!

The cane was a little bit taller than him, and he didn't need the cane to support his body when he walked. On the contrary, this thing would only bring him a burden on his way.

But this thing seems to be one of the standard equipment of the priest, that is to say, as long as he appears in front of people, this set is necessary, even if he doesn't like it.

Later, it was Cheng Jingwei who saw that it was too hard for him to hold it, so he took it from him and helped him carry it all the way, and only handed it to him when he was approaching a place where there were people.

This was the first time Luo Shixing had appeared in the county since he became a priest, and almost as soon as he appeared, people began to watch.

Oh, it was crowd watching at first, after seeing his outfit clearly, everyone recognized that this was their new priest, so the first person who saw him started to call for friends, and the people who rushed over also started to inform acquaintances.

Seeing this posture, Luo Shixing wanted to turn around and run away, but something happened that made his scalp tingle even more.

Those people were still watching at the beginning, and after a few glances, they began to kneel down one after another. Both sides of the street were full of people kneeling towards him!
