Volume Sixteen Han and Tang Dynasties Chapter 1456 Fever(1/2)
The success of the express delivery department gave Hu You a lot of confidence. He believed that as long as this continues, he will not take much time to turn this backward Tianfeng Continent into a civilization era with highly developed technology, and history will always remember his name.
Hu You handed over the affairs of the government to the left prime minister Zhang Jiangliang, and the troops were handed over to Ouyang Shuixian. Zhu Daneng led two thousand men to Anrong. Before Hou San woke up, Chen Dali had to be responsible for the city defense work. Hongye, Ouyang Hanbing, and Ximen Yufeng all retreated to the harem. Now the only one who can speak in the army is Ouyang Shuixian.
After arranging both military and political affairs, Hu You was obsessed with the construction of Times Square. The design drawings of Times Square have been completed. The main building is a giant building with a height of 48 floors. Speaking of this building, its original design is only five floors.
The tallest building in Tianfeng Continent is three floors. It is already amazing to build three floors with a full wooden structure. Hu You’s main building is designed with a steel-concrete structure. If the fifth floor can be built, it will be considered the tallest building in Tianfeng Continent.
At first, Hu You thought it was good to build a five-story building, but when he woke up, he changed his mind. He felt that the five-story building was too in line with the domineering spirit of the first floor of Tianfeng Continent, so he asked to raise it.
Hu You's team may not have seen anything else, but they don't know how many of the tall buildings they have seen. You said that one hundred floors or two hundred floors are nothing in their eyes. So they discussed and discussed, adding layer by layer, and finally forty-eight floors were created.
In fact, when the 48-story building was decided, Hu You's team, including Hu You, had become less convincing. In their previous world, they were used to seeing buildings as high as 400 floors. In their eyes, even if they had closed their eyes, they could create 48 floors.
The girls of Hongye were all confused when they heard Hu You's announcement that they wanted the forty-eight-story high-rise building. They had no idea what the forty-eight-story concept was. They had no idea at all. Seeing Hu You's confident look, she did not object.
The Hongye and Hu You have known each other for the shortest time for ten years. In their hearts, Hu You has always been the kind of person who is determined. If he can tell the forty-eight levels, it must be possible.
In the hopes and blindness of all aspects, Hu You mobilized his troops into Times Square. The current Han and Tang dynasties, except for the necessary troops to live for a long time, have all been transformed into migrant workers by Hu You. Building houses and digging foundations, making them hard work, and all of them are transferred to do the work. Just the foundation work of Times Square, Hu You transferred three thousand soldiers.
Hu You’s plan is not just to build a main building, he built a group of buildings. There are 33 tall and low buildings in the entire Times Square. Even if it is placed in the modern world, it is a very large project.
Under the influence of Hu You, Li Chenggong was like a chicken blood. He hid in the small mountain village for more than twenty years and finally saw the light of the sky again. That feeling was really beyond ordinary people's imagination. In Li Chenggong's view, building a 48-storey building is just the first step, and they will build more in the future.
***************************************************************
Yaya decided to go and see Hu You. Hu You hadn't returned to the palace for half a month at the construction site. Hongye knew that Yaya was coming, so she prepared a lot of things for Yaya, and of course most of them were brought to Hu You. Hu You didn't go home for half a month, so they all thought about it.
As soon as Yaya arrived at the construction site, she was shocked by the scene in front of her. Three thousand soldiers were dry-cleaning in a huge construction site like ants. The plains in the past no longer existed, and huge pits on the land. In Yaya's eyes, these pits were a bit like enlarged cemeteries.
"Yeah, that's not like that." Yaya stuck out her tongue and drove away her thoughts. This is Hu You's mental work. The manpower and material resources he invests every day are huge. How can he describe it as a cemetery? If Hu You knows it, he will definitely be scolded to death.
"Yaya, Miss, Yaya..."
I faintly heard someone calling me. Yaya looked for the sound and found that it was Tang Hun. Tang Hun ran towards this place while shouting, and Yaya was waiting for him to come here.
"Miss, it's really you. I thought I had read it wrong." Tang Hun ran a little anxiously, and he was breathless when he spoke.
Yaya didn't expect to see Tang Hun here, and asked happily: "Tang Hun, why are you here?"
Tang Hun smiled and said, "I came here to send materials to the construction site. Look there, it's all."
In the direction of Tang Hun's finger, carriages were driving in. The ones that could not be seen clearly did not count. There were as many as 20 or 30.
"Wow, are all those carriages? So many, what are the ones on it?"
Tang Hun explained: "It's steel, which is used to build houses. Not many of these are there, there are more behind it. It's probably all available in a thousand cars."
Yaya opened her mouth and said, "It's actually a thousand cars. Where did you get it?"
Tang Hun smiled and said, "I don't have the ability to get it. All of these are transported from all over the place. Some are made by cars and some are made by boat. It takes several months to get there. You are here to find Your Majesty. Your Majesty is on the hillside there, and I will take you there."
"Yeah, please trouble you."
"If you have any trouble, I have to go there anyway, by the way."
This is the first time Yaya has come here. The huge project Hu You has created is really eye-opening, and it doesn’t seem enough to see it.
"Tang Hun, do you often come here?"
"Once every few days." Tang Hun has been here often since the beginning of construction and is much more familiar with this place than Yaya.
Yaya pouted and said, "It's better for you. You can go wherever you want. There are so many things to do. Unlike me, I have nothing to do. It's so boring to stay in the palace every day."
Tang Hun smiled bitterly and said, "What's the point of being good about me? I'm either here or going to the express delivery department. I'm so busy that I don't even have time to eat every day. Look at how thin I'm getting."
Tang Hun said he was tired, but he felt very happy. Due to the success of the express delivery, Hu You now attaches great importance to him and teaches him to deal with anything. Of course, Wang Yiyou also has one, so far. Tang Hun has no way to beat Wang Yiyou, and the two of them are currently on par.
Yaya snorted, "No, I have to beg my dad later and ask him to give me some work, otherwise I will be suffocated to death."
************************************************************
"Yaya, why are you here?" Hu You turned around and was so happy to see Yaya.
"Dad, why did you become like this?" Yaya was stunned when she saw Hu You. If Tang Hun hadn't said that this was Hu You, she wouldn't dare to admit it.
In Yaya's memory, Hu You in a military uniform is so handsome and majestic, but now Hu You is covered in water and mud, let alone the emperor. Even ordinary people seem to be better than him, and they are like they were dug out of the soil just now.
Hu You laughed and said, "It's like this at the construction site. It's nothing to be dirty or tired. The key is to have achievements. By the way, everything at home is fine."
"Well. They are all pretty good, they just miss you a little. Hongye's mother asked me to ask you when I have time to go back and have a look."
"I'm afraid it won't work these days. I'll wait until the foundation is laid, and there should be some time."
"Are these big pits the foundation?" Yaya's eyes rolled around. Everything on the construction site made her feel very curious.
Hu You nodded and said, "Yes, that's it. Don't underestimate these pits. They are the most important cornerstones of buildings. Whether buildings can be stable depends entirely on them."
Yaya said curiously: "Are these pits that powerful?"
Hu You smiled and said, "Of course these pits alone are not good. You also have to add stone, steel and other things. Oh, why do I tell you this? Girls don't need to know these."
Yaya said, "I don't know, I need to know."
When Yaya took out her coquettishness, Hu You had no choice but to explain to Yaya. Hu You was very polite and said, "Why did it be done and what materials to put it on." As he was talking, Hu You suddenly stopped.
Yaya was fascinated by the sound of her ears, and suddenly she couldn't help but ask, "Dad, what's wrong." Unless it was on a formal occasion, Yaya wouldn't call her father Hu You. In her opinion, calling her father would be more close.
Hu You frowned and said, "Why did I forget about this? The foundation requires cement, we don't have cement. Yaya, you and Tang Hun first take a look, I will deal with it if I have urgent matters."
After Hu You said that, he turned around and ran away, even Yaya was shouting behind him.
Li Chenggong is also a very hardworking person. He like Hu You, both eat and live on the construction site. Hu You trotted all the way and found Li Chenggong at another construction site.
"Young Marshal, is there anything wrong?" Li Chenggong threw away the drawings at his hand and welcomed them. He was wondering why Hu You came in a hurry. You should know that they have division of labor in their work, and everyone does their own work. It is normal not to meet or contact each other for a few days.
"Li Chenggong, I think we missed something."
"What was missing?" Li Chenggong didn't think of what Hu You was talking about for a moment.
"It's cement, so we have to start pouring concrete, but we don't have cement yet."
Li Chenggong said carelessly: "If you don't have one, go buy it. This is very ordinary... Wait, this is Tianfeng Continent, and it seems that there is no cement."
Li Chenggong finally realized that this world was not their previous world, and many common things were not available here.
"What should we do without cement?" Hu You didn't have any smile on his face. After so much manpower and material resources and digging so many big holes, isn't everything going to be wasted without cement?
Li Chenggong pondered: "Don't worry, cement is just about it, it's no big deal. If it really doesn't work, we will build a cement factory ourselves."
"Build a cement factory by yourself?" Hu You felt a little dizzy in his head.
Li Chenggong said: "Don't worry, the cement process is not difficult."
************************************************************
When they needed to use it, they found that there was no cement, which did not arouse the vigilance of Hu You's team. In their opinion, this was just a small mistake and nothing big.
After several main responsible persons sat down for a small meeting, everyone decided to build a cement factory first. As Li Chenggong said, the process of producing cement is not complicated, it only needs to be mixed with limestone and clay and burned together.
Times Square became prosperous and became deserted again. Due to the lack of important cement materials, the work here had to be stopped. Let’s talk about it when there is cement.
Another design research plan, Hu You and Li Chenggong decided unanimously to build the largest cement factory in Tianfeng Continent. Because cement is an important building material, it is not just needed for Times Square, but also for many places to be used in the future. Building a larger one can replace future needs.
Since it has been decided, let’s build a factory. It’s about transferring people and the place first. After everything is almost ready, Hu You discovered new problems.
To boil cement, they have to use kilns. They don’t even have cement now, so what can they build kilns?
Li Chenggong smiled and said, "What did I think it is? The kiln is easy. If you don't have cement, just use mud."
"It's okay to use mud?"
"Yes, yes, leave it to me, I can do it."
"Then I'll leave it to you." After being busy for so long, Hu You felt a little tired and hadn't returned home for so many days. He decided to go back to the palace to take a look.
He handed over all the work at hand to Li Chenggong and Hu You returned to the palace. The first thing he did when he returned to the palace was to take a shower first. He stayed at the construction site every day, and he had forgotten how long it had been since he took a shower.
"Father, you are back, and Qiqi misses you so much."
"Hahaha. Qiqi has grown taller again, where are your elder sisters and the others?"
"The eldest sister and Hongye's mother are cooking, Yufeng's mother is washing vegetables, Chu Zhu's mother..."
Qi Qi said a lot in one go, and to sum it up, everyone was busy because of Hu You's return. Hu You haven't come back for so long, and they all wanted to give Hu You the best enjoyment.
This is what home feels like.
Hu You nodded with satisfaction and said with a smile: "It seems that you are nothing. You are idle, so let's play chess."
"Okay, I'll go get the chess." Qiqi likes playing chess with Hu You very much because Hu You never let him go, and he has to work hard to beat Hu You once and half.
"I, Hongzi, left first, be the first shot."
"Of course I'm vaulting the horse." Hu You pushed the dark horse and asked casually: "How is the most army in the army?"
"It's okay, Hou Baowu has also returned to the army. Now we cooperate with training some formations. Many generals have said it is OK after seeing it."
"Well, this is a good thing. Isn't it still improving on Hou San?"
"Not yet, Aunt Yueyue is watching him. Alas, I don't know when he will wake up."
"Yes, give me more confidence."
