Chapter 46 Cement Building
Gao Shun said: "The people should thank the general. Not many princes in the world can be willing to give out money and food to help the victims."
Liao Hua suggested: "Since the lord has enough money and food, he should do his best to go to the Sishui River Basin north of Teng Kingdom, and recruit another 5,000 new recruits, totaling more than 10,000 new recruits. After planting grain in spring, train new recruits, and just collect new recruits after training for new recruits. During the autumn harvest season, we can use troops to the outside world. Instead of waiting for the thieves to attack, we should fight them."
Lu Bu deeply agreed, but Liao Hua was still at a certain level.
Feng Xiong, the two new deputy generals, said: "It is not only necessary to farm farms, but also to build houses. There are storms in summer, heavy snow and cold winter, and there are a lot of people."
Lu Bu nodded and said, "It makes sense. Japan will arrange to cut down trees and buy bricks and tiles to build Longhe camp here. It is inconvenient to live in a tent. The following will arrange the division of labor."
"Yes." said the generals.
Lu Bu said: "Liao Hua."
"At." Liao Hua stood up and clasped his fists.
"Hold this warrant to escort two thousand horn bows back to Xuzhou, and no news was allowed to be heard along the way. After returning to Xuzhou, he transported a hundred ox carts and soybeans back. Now there is no shortage of other grains here, but the soybean seeds are relatively scarce, so I told the king that he wanted to plant them." Lu Bu said and issued the warrant.
"yes."
Lu Bu waved to Liao Hua to come over and said with his ears: "When you arrive at the military camp, you must make a big fuss, so that everyone knows that you have transported back two thousand bows."
Liao Hua went down and prepared and set out tomorrow morning.
“Gao Shun.”
"The last one will be there," said Gao Shun.
"You lead our troops to recruit soldiers to Sishui, north of Teng Kingdom. The quota is still 5,000, and it will stop when the recruitment is full. When people with severe famines, you can appropriately take out some cornmeal to help, but you must pay attention to preventing diseases."
"Yes." Gao Shun also went down.
Gao Shun has experience in recruiting soldiers. He recruits soldiers like opening a restaurant. He lined up more than a dozen crocks and made pancakes. He cooked more than a dozen large pots and made porridge. He cuts large pots into thin strips and adds sesame oil to seasonings. When he shouts for three meals a day, many people can be recruited immediately.
"Feng Xiong, Hua Ji."
"Here, now." said the two.
"Tengguo produces a lot of coal, one of you digs coal and the other burns bricks. We want to build a barracks. Don't worry, you just make temporary arrangements. After a while, the two of you have other arrangements." Lu Bu said.
“Yes, guarantee the task is completed.”
The two of them brought back about 500 people from Lian Qingshan, most of whom were refugees near Teng Kingdom. When they heard that their families had put out grain and distributed agricultural tools, they all went home to farm, leaving only 200 people.
During the Three Kingdoms period, it was a helpless choice to join the army. Not only did you have no wages, the risk was still high.
The construction of barracks must be sturdy and durable, and the house must be able to cope with extreme weather, such as strong winds and heavy rains, or even withstand ordinary earthquakes.
The State of Teng is next to Cao Cao's Puyang and is the gateway to the north of Xuzhou. It requires a large army to be stationed here.
Buildings built with blue bricks and three-dimensional soil are slow, but also solidity is also a problem. Although ancient buildings that have often not collapsed for hundreds of years are often not collapsed, it is just an accident. In terms of strength or reinforced concrete, low-rise construction is not even necessary.
In the evening, all the generals rested. Lu Bu led people to check the whistle.
Lu Bu came to the large house of the temporary residence and entered the system.
Cement, the most basic building material. The price is not cheap, 12 ounces per bag of 50 kilograms.
When doing big things, you can’t worry about small interests. You immediately exchanged 50,000 bags and filled the entire big room.
A military camp with tens of thousands of people is equivalent to a small town, drinking water, drainage, barracks, kitchens, and Baihu Hall.
Lu Bu returned to the study and picked up the paper and drew it. A square prism covering an area of 500 acres, facing north and south. Four gates in the east, west, south and north. The White Tiger Hall is on the central axis of the north. On both sides are barracks. There are 550 rooms on the left and right, totaling 1,100 rooms. Two-story small buildings are designed, and a small building is exactly twenty rooms up and down. Each house is standard twenty square meters, and ten soldiers live. There is a restaurant on the east side and a toilet on the west side.
I couldn't help but draw the hour of Hai, and it was getting late.
Lu Bu asked: "Lu Tong, do you know who is more proficient in architecture in the army?"
Tong Lu scratched his head and said, "It seems that Liu Zhubo, who is a farmer, is more proficient in construction than Zhu Zhubo, who is a pig farmer."
"Go and invite it quickly."
"yes."
After a while, Liu Zhubo and Zhu Bin came.
Zhu Bin said: "Lord, I am delivering a pig. A big pig has produced sixteen."
"These techniques need to be taught to our subordinates. If we raise tens of thousands of pigs in the future, we will all ask you to deliver the baby, what should we do?" Lu Bu said and gave the plan of the military camp to the two.
"This is a sketch of the new military camp that I will draw. How do you see? Let's build the barracks first and then build the walls and bastions. If you have any opinions, please say it." Lu Bu said.
Liu Zhubo spoke first, saying: "The construction volume of more than one thousand barracks is quite large, and it takes at least three to five hundred bricklayers. It takes half a year to complete the construction, and the project volume is quite large."
Zhu Bin said: "This battalion has both defense, offense and defense, and looks like a city. Sewage and clear water are diverted. Soldiers use water to dig deep wells and drink horses to drink clean water by the river. There is nothing wrong with it, but it takes a long time. The barracks are built for half a year, and the outer walls and bastions will take at least one year. Together, it will take one and a half years."
Lu Bu shook his head and said, "It would take a year and a half to build a military camp. Cao Cao would have caught his general."
"There is nothing to do. The production of three-metal soil is complicated, and it takes time to be solid. As for the blue bricks, it is easy to deal with. There are several blue brick yards nearby. After an order, they will burn them in large quantities. We can also set up a brick yard and burn bricks by ourselves. Teng Country has a lot of coal in local areas, which is low in cost." Liu Zhubo said that he didn't know that Lu Bu had arranged for Feng Xiong and Huaji to burn bricks.
"Tomorrow you will draw 500 new recruits who are proficient in building houses. First, you will lay the foundations of two buildings and then start construction. The newly developed ones include cement and mixed with fine sand, which solidifies very quickly. It can be as hard as a stone in two days, which can greatly increase the speed of construction." Lu Bu said.
Liu Zhubo and Zhubo were shocked and said, "The blue brick wall is very fast. The scaffolding is built, and the walls more than 1 meter high will be raised in half a day. A house will be ready in half a day. If the cement the lord is talking about is so magical, then our barracks will be completed in four months. After all, we have a lot of people, and the five thousand newly recruited recruits from General Gao Shun can be put into the barracks."
Lu Bu said: "You will know if you try it tomorrow."
When Liu Zhubo got up early the next day, he selected 500 soldiers who were proficient in building houses. Everyone wore rattan helmets, shovels, gray boards, mud tiles and other construction tools and started laying the foundation.
The wheelbarrow was pushed from the warehouse into a package of cement. The foundation was made of bluestone and concrete. Lu Bu guided it from the side and said that the foundation was relatively slow, with 500 people. It took him a morning to build the foundations of two barracks because the foundation must be built firmly.
Liu Zhubo was still a little worried and said, "Lord, I will plant soybeans this afternoon. I want to transfer 400 new recruits to farm, leaving a one-layer wall with a floor of 100 people to see how the quality is."
