Chapter 226: Luluo is from Dengzhou?

Only Xiao Ming and Zhan Xingchang remained in the council chamber of the Dudu's Mansion.
While drawing drawings, Xiao Ming explained to Zhan Xingchang how to build this outer city wall.
First of all, this city wall will not be solid. Since it is to be built, it must be built as a war fortress. Therefore, it is a city wall rather than a war fortress.
Generally speaking, this city wall is still a traditional city wall shape, but the outer city wall will be replaced by a concrete structure. The inside of the city wall is hollow, but the height of the city wall five meters above the ground will be filled with soil and compacted. This way It not only saves costs, but also can achieve a situation where the outside is destroyed, but the inside will not be broken.
Hollow rooms will be built above five meters. The walls of these rooms will leave holes just enough for the spear to stick out. During the war, soldiers can use these holes to kill climbing barbarian soldiers.
The height of this floor is about 2.8 meters, followed by the third and fourth floors.
On the fifth floor, the hole will expand and become a hole through which artillery can be extended, but people cannot enter. Starting from this floor, a base of artillery is installed on the floor and reserved for the erection of artillery. The upper four floors are all This structure indirectly leaves some holes for spearmen.
Generally speaking, the height of this city wall is the same as the old city wall, basically about 20 meters, which is already a very high city wall.
After the design was said, Zhan Xingchang looked excited, "I am afraid that even the barbarians will come with such a solid city wall."
"If it is completed, at least there will be no tragic fights like the last time in Cangzhou City." Xiao Ming said.
As if the memory of the last war is still in sight, Zhan Xingchang nodded, "It's just your Highness, I'm afraid you have to go to the site to guide the construction of a section of such a complicated project. Otherwise, you will be powerless to talk about soldiers on paper.
"You don't need to talk about it, so I don't need you to build the tofu dregs project. Now I tell you to prepare slaves, cement, stones, wood boards and other materials in advance." Xiao Ming said.
This concrete structure is actually not complicated. It mainly consists of the ligation of steel bars and the support of the wooden formwork. For craftsmen who are proficient in woodworking, this is nothing to say.
The only thing that is more expensive is the reinforcement.
However, at this stage, Xiao Ming can't produce steel bars with modern craftsmanship. He can only make the steel mill try to imitate it. After all, the wisdom of the working people is unlimited.
After explaining that Zhan Xingchang had prepared materials in advance, Xiao Ming returned to the palace.
At this meeting, there were still many issues on the fief, but at least one thing is that the people now have at least surplus food in their hands, so they don’t worry about not having food.
However, apart from the staple food, the people still have nothing to eat, let alone other cash crops.
And this is the next problem he wants to solve. After all, the industry will still need a lot of raw materials in the future, such as cotton, silk, hemp and other crops.
Thinking of this, Xiao Ming thought of tung oil again. His fiefs were also scarce, and he had to spend money to buy them from other places.
"This industrial development is really not easy." Xiao Ming sighed and understood how great a complete industrial system is.
This is not like he is now, either lack of this material or that part.
Back in the bedroom, Xiao Ming picked up the pen and drew the architectural drawings. The architectural drawings were divided into four categories: general drawing, concrete structure drawing, steel bar structure drawing, and node drawing.
The reason why he wants to be so professional is to lay the foundation for Qingzhou's construction industry. In modern times, the country is known as the largest construction country. He wants to establish this reputation from now on.
After tossing for a whole day, he basically drew the drawings at night, but his hands were very sore.
"His Royal Highness, why haven't you eaten this lunch yet?"
When Luluo came in with dinner, she saw that Xiao Ming hadn't eaten any lunch at all, and said grotesquely.
Xiao Ming smiled and said, "It was forgotten for a while."
"His Royal Highness is a waste of sleep and food, but this government affairs is important, and the body can't forget it." Luluo cared.
In a year, Xiao Ming got along with the two girls more and more naturally. He said: "I know, I know, you are as long-winded as aster now."
Luluo was very courageous. He rarely spoke in front of Xiao Ming before, but now he is getting bolder and bolder, but he likes to order Xiao Ming. A dull gourd around is still very boring.
Picking up the lunch meal to take away, Luluo suddenly remembered something and said: "His Royal Highness, is this loom ready? Sister Aster and I have already been to the weaving workshop. If the weaving machine can arrive, we will be ready to approach. The county found some ingenious girls to work in the textile workshop."
"This...in a few days, when I come back from Dengzhou, this equipment company seems to have gone wrong in the production of textile machines, I have to see it myself." Xiao Ming was a little depressed.
Before he went to Chang'an, he asked the Department of Machinery to do this, but Xiao Ming was not there. It was the first time these craftsmen produced textile machines, and indeed there was still a problem.
"His Royal Highness is going to Dengzhou again?" Lu Luo's expression was a bit wrong.
Xiao Ming asked, "Yes, what's wrong?"
"Back to your Highness, Luluo was from Dengzhou before entering the palace. Later, she was trafficked to Chang'an and she was picked up by the empress before she was admitted to the palace. It sounds like more than ten years have passed."
"Are you from Dengzhou?" Xiao Ming said dumbly, "Why didn't you say it earlier?"
"His Royal Highness never asked," Lu Luo said in a low voice.
Xiao Ming smiled and said: "This king has ignored it. Since you are from Dengzhou, what do you know about Dengzhou? Where are your parents? I can take it home when I go to Dengzhou this time. ."
Speaking of this, Luluo’s eyes are slightly red~EbookFREE.me~ said: "His Royal Highness, Luluo’s parents were fishing at sea in the early years, and they were killed by the Japanese pirates who came back. That year, Luluo bought a coffin for her parents, and Luluo sold her for a change. I have spent some silver. If we talk about relatives, I am afraid that only one brother is still alive today, but at that time my brother insisted on going to sea to avenge his parents, and now he does not know his life or death.
Finally, Lu Luo wept softly.
Every woman who sells herself has a tragic history, otherwise she would not be sold at a young age.
He said: "In that case, you can go to Dengzhou with me. Once you are familiar with Dengzhou, you may be able to help the king. Secondly, you can also visit your hometown."
"Thank you, Your Majesty, then I will go back and clean up now." Luluo said gratefully.
Luluo had never dared to mention this matter before, because the slave servant who sold herself could no longer have any contact with her family. If Xiao Ming had an easygoing temperament, she would not dare to mention it.
Looking at Luluo jumping out like a deer, Xiao Ming couldn't help shook his head. This time I went to Dengzhou, things might not be too simple.
