    Pushing against the wall?  No one knew what kind of medicine the palace master was selling in his gourd.  Zhou Shixiong has been tinkering in this yard by himself these days, and his wives and concubines are not even allowed to peek, and his curiosity has long been fully developed.  Zhu Ying was the first to go to the wall and pushed it. Naturally, the low wall did not move at all.  Zhu Ying turned around and greeted, "Zhou Er, you guys come here and give it a try. If you push it with a little force, I will be the one to knock it down."

    Zhu Ying deliberately caused trouble for Zhou Shixiong, and the others certainly knew how to join in the fun. The three Zhou brothers and Zhou Hou stepped forward and pushed hard, intending to shake the low wall, but surprisingly, the low wall remained motionless.  Zhou Shixiong smiled and clapped his hands, "You're welcome, go up and try. If you can overthrow me, you will be rewarded."

    Zhou Shixiong's arrogant laughter aroused public outrage. Not only did the wives and concubines, except for Li Jie and the eldest sister You Min, who wanted to carry the child, did not take action due to their status, the others came to help with their hands and feet. Even Guan Zhongguang could not bear to do anything.  I couldn't help but go over to help.  As the saying goes, when a wall falls, many people push it down, but ten people failed to knock down this low wall.

    Zhou Shixiong secretly laughed in his heart. In order to create a shocking effect, he added steel bars to the wall to make bones and bones, and dug the foundation deeply. Looking at the low wall that was only half a person high, there was still a meter of wall buried underground. It would be crazy if it could be knocked down.  .

    "Hongchang, this wall?!" Li Fusheng walked over and observed it for a while, noticing that the gray cement between the brick joints was much different in color from the commonly used clay mortar.

    "That's right, I used cement instead of mortar and added steel bars to the wall. More than ten or twenty people couldn't push it down." Zhou Shixiong knew that building walls using this method was very costly and had no promotion value, so of course he had to explain  clear.

    "It turns out that my husband cheated." Zhu Ying wrinkled her little nose in dissatisfaction and waved her fist at Zhou Shixiong.

    ¡°It¡¯s not cheating, I just want to try a new way to strengthen the brick wall.¡± Everyone ignored Zhou Shixiong¡¯s excuse and looked around to see various cement products.  Zhou Shixiong was left hanging there to protest.

    "Hongchang, is this cement the way you came up with to make money?" Li Fusheng quickly saw the reason for Zhou Shixiong's many tricks and asked with a smile.

    "Yes, it will be much easier to build houses, roads, and bridges with cement. The most important thing is that the buildings built with cement are stronger and the roads are smoother and less likely to be damaged. This is what makes it valuable." Zhou Shixiong said  When a drawing was produced, Li Fusheng knew at a glance that it was the drawing of the pavilion city he originally designed.

    "Why, you still want to expand Dinh Lic City?" We had to spend money and material resources to build Dinh Lic City because Dinh Lic City is an enclave of Pingxiangzhou in Lang Son Province. If there is a problem, Nguyen Phuc Bao will not help solve it.  .  Today is different from the past. Zhou Shixiong has already sat on the throne of the lord of Lang Son Palace. Dingli City is no longer an isolated city. It is obviously unnecessary to mobilize troops to build Dingli City.

    "This is the underground sewage system of Dinh Lak City. I don't want Dinh Lik City to be like Lang Son City when it is built, so dirty that it will be hard to stand down." Chinese people have not experienced the Black Death era in Europe, and they do not pay as much attention to underground facilities as Europe.  .  Speaking of this aspect, ancient times were better, but modern times are not as good as ancient times.

    Zhou Shixiong remembers a joke that is not a joke. Heavy rain in a certain city caused internal waterlogging. Later investigation found that the drainage system built in the Tang Dynasty was blocked by modern underground pipes. The water was quickly drained after being cleared.  None of the modern emerging cities have the same level of drainage systems.

    "Hongchang, if we follow your drawings, we won't be able to build Tingli Town in three to five years." The ancient sewage system was more powerful than modern ones, but its shortcomings were also obvious, that is, it did not take into account the convenience of residents.  Zhou Shixiong plans to set up a pilot project and build the most advanced tap water supply city in the world.  Of course, the modern model of one water plant supplying drinking water to the whole city is not possible now, and it is impossible to build a single fresh water pipeline.

    Zhou Shixiong wanted to use the high mountains outside the city to build an aqueduct with bricks and stones, and after entering the city, use bamboo pipes instead of water pipes to supply water to users in the city.  Anyway, there is no benefit to the water from the mountains flowing into the river. It is more practical to go around the city and make it easier for people to use water.  As for the issue of sewage, Zhou Shixiong decided to learn from the spirit of our party's supreme directive: I will pollute it and let future generations suffer.

    "Hongchang, this aqueduct is good, but the stream on the mountain is still more than ten miles away from Tingli City. How do you plan to solve this distance." Li Fusheng is responsible for the construction of Tingli City. The environment of the entire Tingli Town he  You know it so well that you can tell the distance between specific mountains and streams and towns without looking at a map.

    "Jishi, I want to build this aqueduct with cement and train a team of skilled craftsmen who know how to use cement to build buildings. As for the distance problem, I will solve it. You don't have to worry." I have never seen this model of viaduct, but I don't think it is too much.  It¡¯s difficult to understand, but Zhou Shixiong really couldn¡¯t explain to the ancients something as complicated as building a land bridge. He planned to personally direct the construction of this aerial aqueduct.

    "However, the civilians who built the city have just enough, so I'm afraid this water channel will take a long time."Only then can construction begin.  "Li Fusheng was most afraid of Zhou Shixiong's use of his men, but he didn't care much about money and food.

    "There is no need to use the civilian workers who built the city. I will dispatch craftsmen from Lang Son Province to do this." Building the viaduct requires piling, pouring cement columns and other processes. These preliminary tasks take a lot of time and cannot be solved by more people.  Zhou Shixiong only needed a group of masons and hundreds of people. Li Fusheng's worries were somewhat unfounded.

    After everyone visited Zhou Shixiong¡¯s cement products exhibition hall, the women returned to the back house to prepare for the banquet. Zhou Shixiong asked the three Zhou brothers to watch outside, leaving Guan Chongguang, Li Fusheng and Wan Qi¡¯an to have a meeting.

    "Xiao Wan, I will leave the Huoyao Village to you. In addition to keeping an eye on the craftsmen, you also have a very important task." Zhou Shixiong handed the concrete proportion test plan to Wan Qian, "Follow me  The written request asks those craftsmen to do more experiments and come up with the best formula as soon as possible."

    "Brother Hongchang, don't worry, as long as I'm here I won't let those craftsmen have any problems." Wan Qi'an has been in the craftsman camp for nearly a year and has long wanted to change places.  After receiving the invitation from Zhou Shixiong, he rushed to Lang Son City. Who knew that he would still have to hang out with the craftsmen, which made him very unhappy.  But when Zhou Shixiong entrusted him with such an important job, what else could Wan Qi'an do besides accept it?

    "I feel relieved when Xiao Wan is there to watch over me." Zhou Shixiong patted Wan Qian's shoulder, completing the appointment.  Turning to look at Guan Chongguang, Zhou Shixiong said, "Cheng Peng, you still have to be more careful about Pingxiangzhou. If the imperial court doesn't send someone to snatch your seat for a day, you have to be optimistic about Pingxiangzhou. No matter what, Pingxiangzhou  The trade routes cannot be cut off."

    "Hongchang, please relax. If the imperial court transfers me to serve elsewhere, I will come to Lang Son Prefecture to help you. If it transfers me to Nanning Prefecture, I will accept the order gladly." Guan Chongguang is now the governor of the state. If he is promoted, he will at least  Arrange a fifth-grade Tongzhi Dangdang. Although he cannot control one party, he can do a lot of things as a deputy.

    "I think it's better not to play with fire. When you go to Zhennanhou Mansion to be the chief steward, the new magistrate will not dare to offend Zhennanhou Mansion too much." Zhou Shixiong understood that Pingxiangzhou cannot be lost. Once it is lost,  After leaving Pingxiangzhou, he could not bear the loss of the trade route.  Moreover, losing Pingxiang Prefecture will also reduce the deterrence of the Zhennan Hou Mansion. At that time, any bull ghost/snake god will dare to reach out to Pingxiang Prefecture, which is not in his interest.

    "I'm afraid it's inappropriate to steal the successor's job, what do you think?" Guan Chongguang teased Li Fusheng, and Li Fusheng shook his head and sighed, "If the upper beam is not straight and the lower beam is crooked, just what kind of superior officer there is will be what kind of subordinates.  I can¡¯t deceive the ancients sincerely.¡±

    Li Fusheng¡¯s words hit so hard that Zhou Shixiong was glanced at and pointed at Li Fusheng with an embarrassed expression, ¡°Ji Shi, you must be kind!¡±

    A few people laughed and made a few strategies. Tingli City should continue to be built, Pingxiangzhou should not be lost, cement should be promoted as soon as possible, etc.  As for Nguyen Phuoc's provocation, Guan Chongguang and Li Fusheng agreed that they should not be ignored. Guan Chongguang said, "Hongchang, Ruan Phuoc took over the power of the Nguyen Phuoc family in the early Republic of China. It is impossible for him to attack the old master in such a hurry. I don't care about this matter."  There is probably something else going on."

    "Whether there is any inside story or not, the Nguyen Phuc family must be defeated. I think it is better to send Zhou Hou to Tuyen Quang Mansion to pretend to be a bandit to find out the news, and at the same time cause some trouble for Ruan Phuc Luo Min." Li Fusheng, a plastic surgery expert, is very calculating and calculating.  Guan Zhongguang was still vicious, and Zhou Shixiong broke into a cold sweat after hearing this.

    "Are you going to stop harming the Huangdong barbarians?" Zhou Shixiong still remembered that he sent Zhou Hou's camp to Lang Son City at night, mainly to avenge Ruan Fubao. He didn't ask how Zhou Hou was doing in Nanning Prefecture.

    "The Huangdong Barbarians in southwest Guangxi are almost falling apart. If we continue to struggle, there won't be any Huangdong Barbarians anymore." Guan Chongguang explained with a smile. It turned out that Zhou Hou pretended to be a bandit from his old business, and not only stole the private money of the Yantai Railway Supervisor and Nanning  The official seal of the prefecture magistrate also repeatedly plundered the caravans of the Huangdong barbarian chieftains including Nanning Prefecture, Xinning Prefecture, Zhongzhou, Shangsi Prefecture, etc., which brought huge trouble to the chieftains of these prefectures. If it were not for Pingxiang  When the state elephant team passed through these state capitals, Zhou Hou did not dare to come out to cause trouble. He had already robbed all the chieftains in these state capitals.

    Only then did Zhou Shixiong realize that Zhou Hou, the Monkey King, deserved his title and was very talented as a bandit.  "Call Zhou Hou in, I will give you a big reward." Of course Zhou Hou should be rewarded for his good work, otherwise how could the people below work with all their heart and soul.

    "Zhou Hou pays homage to your lord. Zhou Hou is the one who personally created the fake natural disaster. Of course he knows who the master of the palace is in front of him. He kneels down and salutes respectfully. Zhou Shixiong stood up and walked to Zhou Hou and stretched out his hand to pull him up, "Zhou Hou  , I heard that you caused Nanning Mansion to be in a state of unrest. Very good. If you want any reward, just say it. This Mansion will not be stingy with gold and silver.  "

    Zhou Hou perked up as soon as he heard this. He looked up at Zhou Shixiong and said, "Sir, I just want to serve you, and I have nothing else."

    Zhou Shixiong scratched his head in embarrassment, "I still want you to take the night camper to Xuanguang Mansion for work. Since??If you don't want to go there, you'll have to change someone.  "
