Both the master and the disciple were much happier after hearing this.
"Next, let's talk business.
Afeng, tell your master in detail what formation I need. From now on, the construction of the formation will be left to you. If you need anything, just tell the servants around you."
"Yes." Tuoba Feng nodded.
Now that the master is here, the formation will definitely be better.
"Ding, the Empress System rewards the host with another talent recruitment. Cement production method x1, rebar refining method x1, and high-grade spirit stones x100."
The long-lost voice of the Empress System once again rang out from the world.
A scumbag usually leaves after saying something without any regrets.
Ji Wan secretly flipped through it and found that the things rewarded by the system were lying quietly in the storage bag. Then she dismissed her attendants and took out the method of making cement to look at it.
The more I look at it, the brighter my eyes become. This is the complete method of making cement!
The rice paper fully describes the cement firing method and precautions.
The manufacturing method of rebar is written on another piece of paper.
It can be said that as long as she has these two recipes, she can build countless skyscrapers with cement.
Most of the houses in Qingshizhou are made of wood and loess.
There will always be a fire hazard.
However, if cement and bluestone bricks are used, they may not necessarily prevent fire, but at least they will be stronger and more convenient to construct.
Even the thermal insulation performance will be better.
The three cities of Qingshizhou are originally located in a bitterly cold area on the eastern edge, and the climate is even colder. The winter lasts for six or seven months, and it is winter for almost half a year a year.
Houses made of cement and bricks will definitely be more resistant to cold! Ji Wan was so excited that she couldn't sleep. She kept smiling and tossed and turned in her quilt.
Yang Guan was frightened and thought something had happened, and almost went into the inner room of the bedroom.
Ji Wan quickly covered herself with the quilt and said that it was okay, so she didn't let Yang Guan in.
This is the bad thing about sleeping naked. It's so embarrassing to be caught in the bed suddenly.
The next morning, Ji Wan called Gao Qu, the person in charge of the Imperial Kiln, and copied the complete method of making cement and handed it to him.
When Gao Qu saw it, his eyes lit up surprisingly and he walked away respectfully holding the paper in his hands.
After the stone is processed, is it really as amazing as it looks on paper?
He really couldn't wait to try it out. With the formation, the temperature could be adjusted at will!
Since Lin Chanhua joined in the drawing of the formation, the progress has been much faster.
Tuoba Feng and Lin Chanhua can go to two cities respectively to draw the array patterns, and the speed is more than twice as fast as before.
Ji Wan would occasionally go to the Yongcang River to check on the progress of the project.
After almost two months of construction.
A moat about 50 meters wide was dug around the periphery of the three cities of gold, silver and bronze.
This river is diverted from the Yongcang River, and the river completely surrounds the three cities.
In this way, residents in the city do not have to risk their lives to run to the distant Yongcang River to fetch water.
It is much more convenient than before. Many city residents know the benefits of the moat and praise it, saying that the river is exactly what they want.
It is convenient for the people and also for Ji Wan.
At the bottom of the river is a protective formation drawn up by Lin Chanhua and Tuoba Feng together.
This formation can protect the city's residents from floods, fires, and man-made disasters within five years.
Ji Wan's large-scale renovation and construction of a moat naturally attracted the attention of the nobles in the city.
However, apart from privately asking Jiang Jian about the situation, they did nothing else.
Those nobles were smart. After all, she was a princess of a country. Even if she poked a hole in the sky, there were officials under her to take the blame for her.
There is no substantial conflict between what these local families built and what the princess built.
Let the princess do whatever she wants.
Ji Wan didn't take these aristocratic families seriously at all.
Qingshizhou is so remote that there are not even a few decent aristocratic families.
They are all relatives of low-ranking officials and the like.
Therefore, the entire Qingshi State can be said to be under the control of Ji Wan.
Not just the nobles, but merchants as well.
The four classes of people, namely scholars, farmers, workers and merchants, are not just talk. In the mortal world, merchants are considered to be of low status, even worse than farmers.
Moreover, after the moat was built, it was more convenient for them to cross the Yongcang River by boat.
Travel all over the country to transport goods.
Merchants value profit. As long as their interests are not infringed and as long as it is profitable, the moat built by the princess is good.
He would never easily criticize the princess.
In this way, Ji Wan arrived at the end of the first spring in Qingshi State.
As mentioned before, the people of Qingshizhou were often bullied because of Zhang Baojiang's Anliang Village, and most of their crops were forcibly looted.
However, many of those robbed were farmers who had no other way to make money and could only rely on farming to make a living.
In order to survive, they have no choice but to plant the crops even though they are always robbed.
When Ji Wan learned about this, he introduced a policy specifically for this purpose.
The Qingshi State Government purchases grain from individual farmers.
As the food reserve for the entire state and county, the government regulates the price of food.
All people or merchants in the prefectures and counties need to go to the granary specially set up by Ji Wan to buy food.
Ji Wan thought about it for a long time before coming up with this method.
Qingshi State is small, so this method can be used to temporarily improve the planting efficiency of farmers in the state and county.
Because farmers think that no matter how much or how little they plant, the government will buy it.
If there is a lot of land, then this will be a considerable income.
But the disadvantages are equally obvious. How to control the price of grain sold, who will manage the grain mill, and what is the price control limit?
The government purchases grain at a specific price and in turn purchases a specific amount of grain.
The processing and preparation of food after purchase requires a lot of manpower.
The most important thing is where to find so much land for people to cultivate.
These are all problems.
Ji Wan pondered for several days but couldn't figure it out. He now had an idea in his mind, which was to use the formation to make something similar to a bank ATM.
Just put money in and rice will come out automatically.
But everything has to be done slowly. At present, it is even a question whether people are willing to grow food on a large scale.
Because of that damn Anliang Village, many people are unwilling to take the initiative to plant.
Also, because the other party was the Beirong Kingdom, they could not suppress the bandits in a high-profile manner in front of everyone, so that the villagers could see them and focus on farming.
Ji Wan was helpless and could do nothing but secretly ask Yang Guan to imitate the handwriting of Tongcheng County Magistrate Zhang Baojiang.
He urged his younger brother Zhang Baohe to come and rob before the spring plowing.
They lure the enemy into a trap, and then stage a show in front of the public where all the villains are caught.
Only in this way can people farm with peace of mind and promote development.
Ji Wan asked Yang Guan to set the date for his arrival at Anliang Village as early as possible.
This will help eliminate the banditry as soon as possible.
The moon and stars are sparse.
Ji Wan was wearing a nightgown and sitting on a boat heading to Anliang Village of Beirong State. In order not to attract attention, Ji Wan took a boat across the river from the distant mountains.
