Half a month passed by in a flash. Luo Zhang, Sun Simiao and others and the escort leisurely arrived at the destination of their trip, the border land of the Western Turks, which now belongs to the Tang Dynasty.

The person in charge of the place at this time was Su Dingfang, who was promoted by Luo Zhang.

Not long after the Western Turks were captured, Luo Zhang brought Su Dingfang to the Western Turks.

After all, there is no point in holding on to Tubo. It is no longer the border land of the Tang Dynasty. Su Dingfang was allowed to guard there before because he was afraid of the invasion of the Western Turks and the escape of Songtsen Gampo and his people.

However, judging from the information currently obtained, Songtsen Gampo has given up the idea of ​​coming back and established a country in the Eighteen Kingdoms of the Western Regions.

Eighteen Kingdoms or Eighteen Kingdoms, Songtsen Gampo robbed other people’s countries and other people’s territory.

After all, the Western Region is so big. It would be too much effort for him to start from scratch, so it would be more cost-effective to grab one.

With his strength, it is not difficult to take over a small country. Don't forget, he also brings a living Buddha with him. With him around, few of the eighteen countries in the Western Region can be his opponent.

Not all eighteen countries have innate masters, there are only a few who exist to suppress the national destiny.

Since Songtsen Gampo had no intention of returning to Tubo, leaving Su Dingfang in Tubo would be a bit of an indignity.

Transferring Su Dingfang to the Western Turks in advance was also Luo Zhang's preparation for today.

Didn’t you see that Su Dingfang arranged everything in such an orderly manner?

At this moment, what was in front of Luo Zhang was like a large construction site for future generations.

Horse-drawn carriages carrying carts of soil came to the brick factory. The migrant workers put the clay into grinding tools according to the method taught by Luo Zhang, and then pushed it into the brick kiln nearby.

When the coal is ignited, the temperature rises instantly, and then cartloads of bricks are pushed out of the brick kiln, loaded onto trucks, and transported to the place where the city was built.

There are five brick factories like this on the Western Turkic border, and each brick factory is responsible for the construction of a city.

Otherwise, it would be too late for one brick factory to supply the bricks needed for five cities.

Not only are there brick factories, but there are also five cement factories.

Compared with the brick factory, the procedures in the cement factory are much more complicated. Fortunately, Luo Zhang had already taught a group of people the steps before he came.

With these people here, the cement plant had been built before he came. The most important thing here was the ratio of things.

However, what worries Luo Zhang most is not the inability to match the cement, but his own physical problems.

You know, it is easy to inhale a lot of dust when making cement.

The consequence of inhaling a large amount of dust is that you are prone to aspiration lung disease, commonly known as tuberculosis.

Not to mention in ancient times, even those in later generations who suffered from tuberculosis might not be cured. Even if they were cured, it would cost the person a lot of money.

No matter in ancient times or in later generations, once someone gets this disease, the family will collapse.

After all, most of the people who do this kind of work are men, and men are the pillars of the family. If the pillar of support is sick, can the family not collapse?

To this end, Luo Zhang came up with a pig's mouth, which is a simple gas mask made of carbon, sawdust, stones, and cotton yarn.

Although this kind of thing cannot 100% prevent dust from being inhaled into the lungs, the effect is much stronger than nothing, and can block at least 80% of the dust.

At the same time, Luo Zhang also set clear time limits for migrant workers to start working.

The three-shift system is implemented. There are only eight hours of work every day, and one minute more is not enough. The advantage of this is that it allows the workers to get a good rest, and they are not the kind of work that is unmotivated and inefficient.

Not only that, the migrant workers are also fed well and have meat every meal.

Only in this way can the migrant workers have the strength to work. Even if they don't have enough food to eat, they are weak to work. After all, building a city is a strenuous work. How can it be done if they don't eat well?

Of course, Luo Zhang would have to spend a huge amount of money for this. If it weren't for the outer block on Japan Island and the support of the dock, Luo Zhang might not be able to hold on at all.

The main reason was that he had a stingy father-in-law, and there was nothing Luo Zhang could do.

When things at the brick factory and cement factory were on track, Luo Zhang stopped taking care of them. He only had one order, and that was production. Production was non-stop. The brick factory and cement factory operated around the clock.
