Chapter 100

As soon as the cement was made, Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan began to design gas masks. It was not possible to wear masks only. There was no way to protect the eyes. The glass had not yet come out, and the number of transparent glass was too small. You had to wait for the fleet in the capital to come.

If the glass has not yet come out, use transparent glass instead. The money will be consumed a little more, but everything is worth it. After all, the person responsible for keeping the kilns in secret is from the inner courtyard, so there is no need to mention loyalty. After studying for the past few years, the people in the inner courtyard are like treasures.

It’s not that they have learned how many words or books they have read. It’s better to find a student than to find a student. The main thing is that the people in the inner courtyard can keep up with Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan in their thoughts. This is the most important thing. The people in the inner courtyard can understand the meaning of what Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan said and what it means, and act in the same style.

This tacit understanding is the key to the rapid development of the Zhang and Wang families. How could Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan be willing to let them get hurt? For example, if you go to withdraw money this time, if you change to someone from another mansion, you will definitely be dealt with, but the people sent by the Zhang family are so flexible.

When doing things outside, people feel relieved. As long as they hand over the things, they will use their own methods to achieve their goals. This special thinking is not that simple, just like the question Xiner asked at that time. After the disaster in Land A, they bought and sold something, and broke out of a fixed thinking pattern.

Now even Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan’s family are different from before, especially Zhang Xiaobao’s father Zhang Zhong, who is very flexible in doing things.

In order to maintain such a situation, Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan thought of many gas masks, used leather to make an outside cover, make a place inside, or put some cotton or charcoal foam. It would be better if the water could be put in. When you breathe, the air outside had to pass through the water before it could come in.

But the two people found that once water was put in, no matter whether it was added to charcoal or cotton, the two things would lose their due effect, and the effect would be bad if they were wet.

Release water is actually very simple, that is, put the water in a low position. As long as you want to breathe, the air must pass through the water before it can enter your mouth, just like a hookah.

It is also easy to waterproof, and the technology here has reached that level long ago. The two of them finally decided to make a water one, then make a mix of cotton and charcoal, and see which of the two works better and which one is more useful in the future.

With cement, the construction speed of lighthouses has increased. Lighthouses were quickly built under the hard work of the people. The height was about ten meters and the shortest was only five or six meters. There were some stones and other things. Unfortunately, this cement was not good, and there were not so many steel bars to use, so it was impossible to build it too high.

The height of about ten meters is actually piled up with cement and sand. If it were Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan at that time, these cements could have built several such lighthouses. But who could not make high-quality cement and no steel bars. They didn't know much about construction. They were not designed gardens. This was a real technical job. It would be great if there was a civil engineering person.

Zhang Zhong looked at the pier that had been replaced with cement, and some roads were also covered with cement. He sighed and said nothing. When he got home, he went to see his wife and said to Zhang Wangshi:

"Our son and daughter-in-law must be gods. You can't make a mistake. Really, I'm becoming more and more sure now. Do you think so?"

"I've said yes, what monsters did you say at the beginning? Have you ever seen such a good monster? They are filial, kind to the servants in the family, and can care about the people. If monsters are like this, then will they still be monsters? Besides, there are no strange phenomena when giving birth to Xiaobao. Usually, if it is a monster, I heard that the sky will change color, how can you be sure?"

Zhang Wang touched her belly that had not changed at all with his hands and said happily, not knowing whether it was because the child in his belly was happy or because of his son and daughter-in-law.

Zhang Zhong also came over and touched it. After his hand was opened, he said, "Think about it, how did our son do it when he encountered a natural disaster? He said in Huayuan County that God can't do it, but he ended up opening a hole and an extra lake. Although his son didn't make anything flying in the sky, it would make the place where the broken is fine. Isn't it just fighting with the sky?

There is also something called spinnaker that others can't drive against the wind, and our boat can still move forward, which is also a fight with the sky. Later, when we arrived here, who would have thought that the wooden raft formation was made, but just a few wooden rafts, combined together, saved many lives. Is this fighting with the sky again?

Who can do something that can be done when you are at home that can grow vegetables in winter? Who dares to think about it? God changes all seasons, who dares to act against the will of heaven? But our son and daughter-in-law dare to do it. It’s okay to go against the will of heaven. If others go against the will of heaven, they will not be struck by lightning?

When Xiaobao and Juanjuan are so powerful, God may be unhappy. He blamed them for repairing the seawall and for repairing the roads. He caused a strong wind to eat. Our son and daughter-in-law immediately took everyone to hide on the mountain. When God saw that it was no longer possible, he turned elsewhere.

But God has left this time, and maybe he will come again next time. It may not be too strong at that time. What should I do? Our son and daughter-in-law are gods, so they do something against the will of heaven. The two children immediately made out the cement thing just to bear the power of heaven.

Oh, by the way, you have never seen the cement before. Put some things in the kiln and then beat them into mozi. Once this mozi is encountered, it will be harder than a stone. Just talk about it. Even if there is a strong wind again next time, there is no need to be afraid. There is also the thing called lightning rod made by our son and daughter-in-law, which is easier to use than the things placed on the roof before.

No matter how big the thunder is, you don’t have to worry about it. You are not afraid of wind anymore. You don’t think you are afraid of hail anymore. With the lightning rod, you are not afraid of thunder either. God is suppressed by our son and daughter-in-law, and you can’t cause any storm.”

Zhang Zhong became more and more excited as he spoke. Zhang Wang also liked to listen to anything that praised his son and daughter-in-law for being good. At this time, he nodded and said, "No, it's not that the gods can't do such a thing. This should be because the ancestors accumulated virtue. I don't know how many lifetimes of virtue they have accumulated to get two little gods for us.

Although you can't go to heaven and earth, you may use another method to go against the sky, which is also good. I can't give it to us even if the gods are too powerful. What are Xiaobao and Juanjuan doing now?"

When Mrs. Zhang said this, she wanted to take a good look at her son and daughter-in-law and asked softly.

"What kind of gas masks are used to make? Cement may be too terrible. As a result, our son said that when making cement, it is easy to make people sick, and it is also impossible to cure diseases. At that time, people will live a short time. This is actually a terrifying life. The two children started to make that thing in order not to let the people in the inner courtyard live."

Zhang Zhong found a reason for the series of behaviors of Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan, or the one that is linked together, which is very magical. If Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan heard these words, I don’t know what they would feel.

Perhaps I admire this father even more. It was not easy. I didn’t say anything about both of them, and my family helped me figure out the reason. Even making cement and putting poison masks can be linked together.

"Oh, it's really not easy. As long as the people in the inner courtyard are fine, don't mention the things that are against the sky in the future. I originally wanted to go over and take a look, but now I won't go. Xiaobao and Juanjuan are not afraid of Tianwei. I, a mother-in-law, shouldn't be afraid, but what if the child in my stomach can't stand Tianwei?

I'll be able to make some good things for Xiaobao and Juanjuan in a while. It's not easy to act against the will of heaven. No wonder I could eat so much at the beginning. Well, make more meat, and prepare some bone marrow that the two children like to eat, steam it and dip it with pepper and salt."

Zhang Wangshi was not ready to go over and see it now, and also found a very reasonable excuse for herself. Zhang Zhong nodded in agreement.

Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan are really tired. They need to make things by themselves. Everyone below is busy with other things. The two think this gas mask should be easier to make. They don’t need to be protected from any gas, as long as they can be kept in dust.

The two of them were busy for nearly a day and then they made four, two of them, two of them, two of them, two of them, charcoal and cotton, and they were ready to let the people there try it first. The sealing was not very good, that is, if it was a gaseous thing, it would be impossible to prevent it.

"There is always a leak from the face next to the ear. I'm waiting for them to wear it. Their faces are bigger. If they really don't work, just make some glue next to them and block the leaking area. This is why our craftsmanship is not good. Fortunately, we have made it and waited for people with good craftsmanship to make it. I think there is no problem."

Wang Juan took off the gas mask and said regretfully.

Zhang Xiaobao nodded and admitted that he and Wang Juan were already very serious, but the things they made were just the same thing. It seemed that they could only wait for masters with good skills to make them. If the sealing around was really bad, they would need to use glue or something to block them, so there should be no problem.

The two of them took gas masks and found the people working there. There were four, one of them, and asked them to try it out. The people from the inner courtyard took it over, put it on very seriously, nodded to Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan, and said in a vague voice:

"Okay, it's much better than before. Thank you, the young master and the young lady. If you have this thing, you won't be afraid of sucking your mouth."

"Then use it first, and come over to talk about your specific feelings during dinner. You will also block your eyes in the future. Just put it in a moment. There is no other good way."

Zhang Xiaobao knew that it was not because of the gas mask that changed the voice, but because of their own psychological effect, so he raised his eyes and turned around and followed Wang Juan to the direction of the dock, wanting to see how the renovated there was.

It is indeed convenient to have cement. At the beginning, it was a bit difficult to mix sand. After trying it a few times, it was enough. The people just thought the cement was magical, but they didn't think about how this thing was made. They were very happy to do it there.

The original things on the dock have been removed and rebuilt, and the same is true for the dock. With these cements, new methods can be used to manufacture the docks, such as water-release gates. In the past, the boat was directly brought into the water, but now it is built directly in designated pits on land. This pit is made of cement. When the water is put in and rinsed, the boat will float up.

Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan walked around and saw that nothing was going on. It was almost dark, so they rode their horses to rush home together.

"Xiaobao, I'm thinking now, should I build two more kilns? If only one is the supply, it will be too slow. At that time, the city walls of Chang'an will be built. How much cement should be used in such a large place in Chang'an? What's more, don't you want to build all the roads into cement?

All the roads are a state, plus Shanghai dike, and it is probably not enough to build five more kilns. The roads have not been completely repaired yet. It's really a worry."

Wang Juan held Zhang Xiaobao behind and talked about building more cement kilns. Zhang Xiaobao was also considering the same problem along the way. It was too slow to burn, and it was really not easy to use one kiln and one kiln.

At this time, I heard Wang Juan mention it and said, "Then build more, but the power of the guards is less, and they need to be concentrated. They must also be talented in the inner courtyard. This technology is not big at that time, but here is a strategic-level thing.

The road has to be repaired. Even if it is repaired now, it will not affect the cement being made on it. The main reason is that there are too few people here. I don’t know if I can get more from other places. I hope to have more children from generation to generation. It will take more than ten or twenty years for the child to grow up. I can’t afford to wait.”

As Zhang Xiaobao spoke, he wanted to get people from another place. Who made him have no one? Even though there are more than 20,000 people now, it is still not enough. Luzhou is a state. Although it is not such a big state, the state is a state, not a county after all.

Especially Zhang Xiaobao also wanted to build these roads to the surrounding states to facilitate access and the seawall could not stop. Everything was not short of money, but what was lacking was labor. Now the children were found to do things again, which was considered child labor. There was no way to do it.

The two of them said that there were a population in which state around them, so they returned home and prepared to discuss with Zhang Zhong and asked him to post a notice to recruit people from other places. This was a bit unethical, but there was nothing we could do.

Just as Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan were worried about population issues, more than 10,000 people from Qinzhou finally met with the people who wanted to go over to persuade them. As soon as the people on both sides met, they immediately realized the difference.

The people who came to Luzhou from Qinzhou at the beginning are now very healthy and wear good clothes. If they didn’t know each other really, no one would have thought that they would be the people of Qinzhou. The gap was too big.

The people in Qinzhou who had just rushed to the side were all covered in patches, with pale and thin faces, and looked very pitiful, and some even were skinny.

As soon as the people on both sides met, they immediately had something to say and asked each other. Unexpectedly, it was the same purpose. Now the people in Luzhou were relieved. They didn't have to worry about not being able to persuade the people there. Now these people can be taken back.

The people of Qinzhou also settled down. At the beginning, they were worried that Luzhou would not have enough food. At that time, even if the good official wanted to stay, there would be no way. Now, when he heard what his fellow villager said, Luzhou was short of nothing, he would not have to think about food.

"Wu Zi Wang, what is Luzhou like now? I remember going to Luzhou once twenty years ago. It has been so many years now. I didn't expect that when I get old, I would have to leave my hometown. But that's fine, at least there is a good official in Luzhou. I heard that I gave you wages and food to you, but I was building roads for you. Is this the case? If I ask me, you shouldn't have to ask for this wages, what else do you need to build roads for yourself?"

Among the people who came from Qinzhou, an old man who was not very nimble but insisted on following him said to a young man in Luzhou.

"Uncle Wang, this is true. Luzhou is different now than before. It is so beautiful. The houses we live in are small buildings and yards. Each family raises ducks and pigs. The wages you mentioned are indeed, we don't want them, but the good official said that if we don't want them, we don't have to work, so we took them off.

But we all thought about it and saved the money. When the fleet of the Dahaoguan family came, we bought more goods from above. In this way, the Dahaoguan family would have money. There is also the place where the Dahaoguan lives now. We all planted trees outside. The Dahaoguan family is not short of money, and I don’t know how to help.

Everyone in his family is busy now. Even the two little kids are not ordinary. They settle accounts so quickly. They handle things like adults. No, they are even more powerful than many adults. It seems that the people in this official family are different, and children can do this. Uncle Wang, why don’t you come here by boat? There should be a place on the boat? I didn’t expect that so many people came at once. It’s great.

Originally, we discussed that as long as we could find one or two thousand people to go back, we could help a lot. Now that there are so many, Luzhou will be built faster. In less than a few years, every family in our Luzhou will be rich."

Wang Wuzi said to the old man affectionately, and he was really happy to see so many people passing by. The task was completed, and it was more than I thought at the beginning, so he didn't take much effort.

Mr. Wang also showed a yearning look when he heard Wang Wuzi talk about what happened in the future. He looked at the people who came over, nodded and said, "I know, when you see your appearance, you will know that there will be a good day to come. We don't want to come, but we really have to come."

My village was hit by a disaster, but there was no movement in Qinzhou, so the people from Luzhou went there first. We also know that you are short of people here, especially after the disaster, the state gave a little food. Maybe the governor was willing to give it more, but he couldn't resist the people below to reach out.

If you want to wait for the next harvest, it is impossible. There is still a winter to pass. What should we do? Well, these grains can allow us to come to Luzhou. Everyone will come together. As for that boat, it will be for people who can't walk. I'm still strong now. If you don't believe it, just draw it a few times and I'll let you three go together."

The old man is indeed very strong. He needs others to support him when he walks, and he still wants to compare with others. Wang Wuzi naturally did not dare to compare with the old man, so he nodded and admitted, "Yes, what Mr. Wang said is, let alone three people, even five people can't compare to you. You are amazing.

Alas, I didn’t expect that Qinzhou has reached this point. Uncle Wang, don’t worry, this kind of thing will never happen in Luzhou. The officials below are easy to talk to. No one dares to reach out to this matter. The good officials are in the eyes of the eyes of the good officials.”

"I know, I know, people from Luzhou can go so far to save us, so how could the people from Luzhou not be saved? I have lived so old, but I didn't expect that I could still think of blessings when I got there. When I got there, I asked my boy to work harder and must build his own home. Yes, Luzhou will be our home in the future."

The old man sighed that the other people thought so when they heard the old man's words. This time they came out, they did not plan to go back. Even if they might go back in the future, they would not go back to live, but to go over and take a look, or do business or something.

Luzhou has already given them a sense of home. Even if they haven't arrived at the place yet, this is mainly because the more than 100 people in Luzhou still have two ships. It is fake to rush over to save them so far away, saying that they are not moved. It is possible to mobilize the most elite personnel for people so far away. You can imagine what it will be like when you live here in the future.

"Uncle Wang, then your family will live next to my house, and there will be free houses next to you. Fortunately, I will tell you how to raise ducks and pigs. The methods taught by the great official are different from other places. The ducks and pigs grow fast. When next summer, you will be able to eat your own pork."

Wang Wuzi said to the old man, and when he talked about this, he felt very proud.

The old man did not object, and agreed with a smile: "Okay, okay, I will live next to your house, but I have to take good care of me, the old man."
