Daqin: White porridge and pickled mustard tuber, I became the national teacher

Chapter 260 Discussing the construction of the Great Wall.

Oh?

cement?

Can you help me?

Ying Zheng looked down at the paper which contained the method and steps for making cement.

Qi Pan said, "The raw materials of cement are made of limestone, clay, iron ore, etc...."

"First, grind the limestone, clay, and iron ore in the proportions of..."

“And then…”

"Finally, it is mixed with sand, gravel and bricks to build city walls, bridges, water conservancy projects and roads."

“It’s not only waterproof and heat-insulating, but also has good adhesion and is strong.”

"Moreover, cement has excellent load-bearing and pressure-resistant capabilities. It can bear the weight of the building itself and external loads, ensuring the stability of the building."

"This cement is widely used in the world I live in."

"Whether it's building bridges or roads, or building houses, cement is used in everything."

"Brother, with this cement, it will be very easy to build the city wall."

After Qi Pan finished speaking, Ying Zheng also finished reading the prescription in his hand.

He was very interested in the cement that Qi Pan mentioned.

"it is good!"

"I'll order someone to find what we need here."

"Find out all the raw materials for these cements."

After Ying Zheng finished speaking, he called over a Black Ice Guard and told him all the raw materials for making cement.

Let him take people and go find these things quickly.

After the Black Ice Guard left, Qi Pan said, "Brother, the wall you built in history to defend against the Huns has a resounding name."

Oh?

Ying Zheng was a little curious: "What's the name?"

Pray: "The Great Wall, the Great Wall!"

"It is said that this Great Wall, with a total length of 10,000 miles, was an ancient military defense project."

"Tall, solid, and continuous, to limit the movement of enemy cavalry."

"Moreover, the Great Wall is not just an isolated wall."

"It is a defense system with the city wall as the main body, combined with a large number of cities, barriers, pavilions and signs."

"You built it, brother, specifically to defend against the invasion of the Xiongnu cavalry. Am I right?"

What Qi Pan said are all recorded in history.

This was exactly what Ying Zheng had planned and designed.

He nodded, "The Imperial Master is right, it is indeed so."

"Now that our Great Qin has unified the six kingdoms, General Wang Jian, Meng Tian, ​​Li Xin and others are heading south to attack the Baiyue."

"I believe it won't be long before we return victorious, and this Xiongnu..."

Ying Zheng frowned, "It's really hard to deal with."

The Xiongnu were a tribe on the grasslands.

I grew up on horseback.

Not to mention their riding and archery skills, their war horses alone are incomparable to those of the Qin Dynasty.

Not only their Great Qin, but even the other six countries were still there.

No country's war horses dare to say that they can compare with the Huns' war horses.

After all, they are of different bloodlines, so it is very difficult to surpass them.

Qi Pan also thought of the Huns' war horses and their exceptionally tall and strong physiques.

She had seen wrestling matches held by ethnic groups on the grassland in short videos.

Each of them is tall and strong, as strong as a bull.

One of his arms is thicker than her leg.

If he hits her, I guarantee he'll kneel down and beg her not to die...

In modern times, the Huns are also one of them and are their own people.

But now the Huns......

Qi Pan believes that he does not have the ability to make them become his own people.

The only way is to fight.

Beat them up and scare them.

Beat them into submission, and then conquer them.

Let them become part of Daqin.

Turn the Huns’ grasslands into the Qin Dynasty’s racecourse.

But the premise of all this is that you have to be able to beat them.

The current Qin Dynasty does not have this strength yet.

We can only take precautions first.

Obscene development.

After domestic productivity recovers, living standards steadily improve, and Qin's military becomes stronger, we can then deal with the Huns.

Qi Pan said, "Since we can't deal with the Xiongnu yet, let's just leave them alone for now."

"Build strong fortifications and keep them out of the territory of our Great Qin."

"Brother, let's hurry up and build the Great Wall, so that the Huns won't attack and plunder our people when we are least prepared."

Ying Zheng: "Okay, I think so too."

"Master, look."

Ying Zheng brought Qi Pan to the imperial desk and opened a scroll.

It is a picture of public opinion.

Ying Zheng pointed his finger upwards and said, "Master, I plan to start building the Great Wall from here to here."

"And then..."

Qi Pan stood nearby, looking carefully at the location Ying Zheng pointed to.

"Okay, the gravel and stones needed to build the Great Wall can be extracted from here."

"The short distance can reduce manpower and material resources, and also save a lot of time."

Ying Zheng: "Yes, and then from here... to here, build all the way down..."

"Then we will connect here... to the Great Wall here..."

"The labor and workers needed can be collected from the people, and a certain amount of silver can be distributed to provide adequate food."

"We can also send the prisoners in the prison to build the Great Wall and arrange for special people to guard it."

"If one person escapes, all will be punished... It's OK..."

Qi Pan said, “When supplying food to laborers and migrant workers, you can add some corn, cassava, and fine salt to ensure their physical strength.”

"When it's hot, you can grind corn into powder, cook it into corn porridge, and mix it with pickles."

After hearing this, Ying Zheng nodded, "That's fine, and also..."

Qi Pan and Ying Zheng conducted in-depth research on the construction of the Great Wall, cement, migrant workers, labor, food, etc.

I wrote down every aspect and all the problems I could think of, filling up dozens of pages.

More than two hours later.

Qi Pan swallowed his dry throat and poured a cup of tea for Ying Zheng and himself.

He took several gulps to moisten his throat before speaking.

"But we're finally done, brother. So, let's build the Great Wall according to this?"

Ying Zheng put down his pen and said, "Okay."

"That's it. Thank you for your hard work today, Imperial Master."

Qi Pan shook his head and said, "It's okay, it's okay."

"What's so hard about it?"

“I feel relaxed doing things with you.”

"Besides, I just move my mouth, while you pick up the pen and write."

"If you want to talk about tiredness, you are the most tired."

Ying Zheng was never polite to Qi Pan. He reached out and patted Qi Pan on the shoulder.

Originally he wanted to pat Qi Pan on the head.

But I felt that this action seemed disrespectful to Qi Pan.

In the past, praying for wealth and prosperity meant patting the head.

It is an act of pampering towards a small animal, a small pet.

And it was obviously not appropriate for him to touch the head of the national teacher.

It's also looking down on her.

That's why Ying Zheng turned his hand and patted Qi Pan's shoulder.
