These are houses built by cement! After the engineering teams used cement to clean up these squares, Liu Mang took Yang Hong and others to inspect the houses. Cement is a major breakthrough in industrialization. He is the cornerstone. If there is no cement, then everything will be useless. For example, some factories and various buildings require cement. It can be said that the cement used to build houses is the second wave of test products. The first wave is to be used in industrial areas for manufacturing, and the second wave is the current one. If these cements are

If used properly, then it will be used on the city wall and on the dam. There are four dams around Shouchun. These dams were originally used to irrigate the fields. They were a water conservancy project that hated important. But who knew that they were played by Lao Cao and flooded Shouchun. Who made Shouchun’s terrain low? Liu Mang would not let this scene happen. So Liu Mang has never rebuilt the four dams for a long time. He was just afraid that others would flood Shouchun. No matter how many soldiers and horses could not withstand it. Water and fire were ruthless, the power of nature was considered

In this world, it can only be used, but not conquered. However, the four dams must be built, because these four dams can double the fertile fields around Shouchun. Now there are more than one million people. The fertile fields of Liumang are no longer enough. Moreover, the past two years have been a drought year. There is rain but not much. Some fertile fields are not enough. Another thing is that once there is heavy rain once in a century, everything in Shouchun will be done. In addition to irrigating fertile fields, it is to prevent the Huaihe River from bursting.

Yes, Liu Mang was afraid that heavy rain would destroy Shouchun once a year, and he was afraid that he would be destroyed by others after building the dam. Now that he had such a thing, Liu Mang didn’t need to worry much. Because the hardness of cement was not low. If he was used on the entire dam, he would not want to destroy the dam unless he was made for this era. In this way, the four dams could not only irrigate the land but also defend against floods. So when the cement house was notified that it had been made and dried, Liu Mang would come.

"Puchi, Puchi!" Liu Mang was still talking, cement, although this is just the simplest cement. But this is already a major breakthrough. If it weren't for such great housing pressure, Liu Mang wouldn't have been able to create such a thing.

...

"Can you live in such a house?" The people who stayed in the city expressed great doubts. They looked at the built houses, which were made of dust and water. There were basically no blue bricks inside. They were made of wooden strips and cement. The cement mentioned by the government was so soft that it could be lived in. Can such a house be lived in? Don't collapse as soon as you move in. The old people were most worried because even if they couldn't afford blue bricks inside their own house, they had to use gravel pieces, but there was no such house in front of them. The old people were swaying one by one and didn't dare to go in.

"It's all made of ashes, water and bamboo strips. I'm afraid!" An old man expressed his concern. He had lived in a tent for many days. Who would want to live outside with a new house? There were tents outside, but the tents would still leak at night. Fortunately, the young people were strong, but the elderly and children couldn't bear it anymore.

"I'd better go back to live in a tent!" An old man was frightened. He was really afraid that these houses would collapse when the wind was blown at night. It would be over for people to bury them in this way. Although he is old, he still wants to live a few good years.

"Yes, yes, let's live in a tent!" The other old people agreed. They didn't dare to live in the house that only mixed with ash and water. It felt like a fake trick that could kill your life at any time.

"First there were a few people, now there were a small group of people. After the difficulties, most people would not dare to live in this cement-made house.

"Old thing, can you not live there!" An official next to him who was responsible for letting the people live in a new house was a little anxious. You should know that the order given by Liu Mang was to let the first group of people live in a new house within five days, because setting up tents outside is not a long-term solution. It is rainy in Huainan and the ground is very wet. If you live for several months, the people's bodies will not be able to withstand it. That kind of moisture can make you a lifelong disaster.

"If you don't hold on, you won't even stop!" The old man naturally has the stubbornness of the old man, old and young, which means that the old man will never let go if he decides that he will not let go.

"You!" The officials were really angry. If these people couldn't live in, then his lord Liu Mang would definitely be angry. Liu Mang was angry. Will such a small official have a good life? Moreover, he was recruited by Liu Mang's previous recruitment order. He was a poor family. With such an opportunity to show his talent, he naturally couldn't bear to abandon it. In anger, he was actually ready to raise the whip in his hand.

"Stop!" Liu Mang frowned. He and Yang Hong came out in casual clothes. Huang Zhong had two guards beside him. At first glance, he saw an official raised the whip in his hand and sucked it at the old man next to him. These are Han people, not foreign tribes, and Liu Mang didn't need those officials riding on the heads of the people.

Huang Zhong stepped forward and directly grabbed the whip from the official's hand.

"What's going on?!" Liu Mang was not a person who didn't know how to adapt or a person who looked directly in front of him, so he stepped forward without directly accusing the official, but asked about the incident.

"Ah, lord, lord!" This little official appeared in Hefei that day, so he was naturally impressed by Liu Mang at that time. When he saw Liu Mang walking in front of him, he stuttered a little.

"Master? Are you the Holy King?!" The old man next to him was not a fool. Hearing this little official calling, how could he not know who was coming? Liu Mang is very famous among the people now, and the emperor also issued an order to make Liu Mang the Saint King. You must know that the ancient people still respected the emperor very much. Although they were not as perverted as Xiao Dongyang in the east, they were all very docile people. Unless they couldn't survive, they would be a very docile group of people. When they saw this, the Saint King hurriedly knelt down. "The Caomin has seen His Highness the Saint King!"

"What. This young man is His Highness the Holy King!" Some people couldn't believe it. In their opinion, the emperor and those kings should be the kind of person who is too old to be old. He has a white beard and a noble and serious face, rather than the person in front of him who is wearing civilian clothes like a neighbor's second boy.

"Why don't you kneel down quickly! This is the Holy King, the Holy King conferred by my great Han Dynasty!" A large area of ​​kneeling down on the entire construction site.

"If you can't do it, you can't do it. Please get up quickly, please get up quickly!" If Liu Mang was his subordinates kneeling him, he could bear it. Even those historical celebrities such as Zhao Yun and Xu Sheng, Liu Mang could bear it, but these ordinary people, especially those who are in their seventies and eighties, really had a feeling that they could not bear it, because the Chinese virtue is to respect the elderly and love the young. Liu Mang felt that he would have a short life when he kneeled down.

Liu Mang wanted to help the old man up, but there were not only one or two people kneeling behind him. In desperation, Liu Mang could only turn cold and said, "Don't you listen to me, the Holy King! I'll let you all get up!" The ground was wet, and it was very uncomfortable to kneel on the ground.

Liu Mang's voice became cold and he stood up one by one.

"Tell me, why dare you pick up the whip and throw it down at such an old man!" Liu Mang looked at this little official coldly. This is a poor family, and it was Liu Mang who gave him the opportunity to be promoted. In Liu Mang's Shouchun, the officials were basically poor families, and they should also come out of the common people and should compare themselves with others. If they are just one person, hehe, then I'm sorry, either you get out of me or you can explain the reason clearly to me.

"Master, this, this!" The little officials were covered in cold sweat. Liu Mang told these subordinates when the people arrived, you are officials. Although I, Liu Mang, are supporting you, our money did not fall from the sky, but was collected from taxes taught by ordinary people. It can be said that the people who give you the salary are those ordinary people, they are your parents of food and clothing. Without them, you can't afford to eat and wear wherever you can. If you still treat yourself as an official, then don't blame me for being ruthless.

Now he was caught by Liu Mang and was right away, so he didn't worry! It's not a peaceful era now. If you are lucky, you will lose your official position at most. If you are not lucky, you can really be killed by Liu Mang. In fear, the small officials are not speaking smoothly.

"Where did this whip come from? Do you want to enslave the people below? Use the whip?!" Liu Mang took the whip from the hands of the small official, his tone was very plain. The more ordinary it was, the more scared the person. "Lord, please spare your life, and the lord, please spare your life, it was because my subordinate was confused for a while."

Do you really think of yourself as an official? A cold light flashed in Liu Mang's eyes. Then this person would not need to stay in Liu Mang's army. Liu Mang put the whip in Huang Zhong's hands and asked someone to drag this little official down, kill one to warn a hundred, and kill a chicken to warn the monkey. The first person to violate the law is often the most unlucky. Originally, Liu Mang just planned to expel this little official, but now he really wants to kill him.

Although these more than one million people were a very heavy burden, Liu Mang resisted it. He also knew that this might be the conspiracy between Sun Ce and Liu Bei, but Liu Mang had to eat it because the war was the population and the comprehensive strength. The more the population base, the more manpower and material resources you had. The reason why China has not disappeared into the long river of history like other ancient nations for five thousand years is because the Chinese people have a large base. Whether it is a civil war or a foreign race, they can only be assimilated by the Chinese nation and cannot be conquered.

In addition to not letting these officials be domineering because he himself disliked, there is another reason that these people came from one village after another. For example, the people from mountain to another mountain are even more connected to one mountain. If the small official just now was really whipped up with a whip, it might be a big trouble. These old people are all elders and still have great prestige among the people. Once the people get up, it will be really a big trouble, and the involvement will be deeper and wider.

"Lord, please spare me, please spare me!" Liu Mang was very strict with the law. If someone violated it, he would definitely not be able to escape. I didn't see that he even knocked himself out! Those who were cruel to himself were cruel to others.

"His Highness of the Holy King! Let me say something!" The old man next to him was not an unreasonable person. Seeing this young man kneeling on the ground, he was so scared that he even felt his nose snot coming out. The old man's heart was also a little moved.

"You uncle, tell me!" Liu Mang just wanted to understand the whole story.

"Where is that whip. It should be the whip that guy drove the carriage away!" the old man pointed to the whip and said. This is the first phase of the building, and it will be built later, so the carriage is still coming and going here. The whip is used to drive the carriage away.

"Oh! Han Sheng returned the whip to him!" It's not enough to take it out and act like a mighty person. If Liu Mang was just driving, he wouldn't punish him.

"Then why is he whip at you just now?!" Liu Mang still wanted to ask about this.

"That's because that guy was angry!" The old man would not hide anything.

"I'm so angry!" Liu Mang frowned again. If everyone was like this official, it would be corrupt and slaughter at once! Using heavy sacrificial practices in troubled times is what Han Feizi and Shang Yang said, and Liu Mang also firmly believed in this.

"No. No, no!" The old man still saw that Liu Mang misunderstood. "Your Highness the Holy King, this young man also told us that he would let us people live in this new house within two days. He was helpless. If we could not arrange it, we might be dismissed. But we really dare not live in this house. Your Highness the Holy King. These houses are all caused by lime and water. Do you think he will not be blown by the wind?" It turned out that before this, this little official was also smiling and talking patiently over and over again. But these people just didn't believe it. After all, they didn't know what cement is, so they naturally didn't dare to live in it. They were eager to speak again and again. Even if the patient was good, they couldn't stand it. So this was the little official who Liu Mang saw before waving his whip. He waved his whip and didn't dare to really hit him.

"Hmph!" Liu Mang snorted coldly. He also knew that he was a little strict with these officials. If he couldn't do something well, he would just dismiss his post in one sentence. This made these poor children cherish their position very much. This is Liu Mang's fault. But now there are more than one million people. Multiplying a small problem by more than one million is a huge problem, so Liu Mang had to be strict, but it would be much better when everything settled.

"I will not pursue you any more, but if you are disrespectful to the people, you will have to punish you. I will punish you for adding items to the uncle's house this month to shock you! How about it?!"

"Yes, yes, yes! Thank you lord, thank you, uncle!" The little official nodded and thanked him quickly. He did not dare to have any objection. It would be a good thing to be able to save his life. Now Liu Mang not only did not kill him, but also did not remove his position. He was only fined one month's salary. Of course, he was happy.

"Go down!" Liu Mang waved his hand and said.

"Your Highness the Holy King is worthy of being my great Han sage king. He loves the people as much as his son!" The old man knelt down again. No official would have like this. This old man came from Jingzhou. Under Jingzhou, officials did not say anything to the people at will. Even if they were whipped, the people could only endure the pain and hold back.

"His Highness of the Holy King loves the people as his son!"

"Get up, get up!" Liu Mang was laughing on the surface, but he was smiling bitterly in his heart. Can it be achieved if he didn't love the people? Although Liu Mang is from the present world and has already penetrated into his heart for everyone, this is the Han Dynasty, the feudal era, and it is also a chaotic era. The hierarchy is very strict. Even the rich and poor people in modern times are very different. Liu Mang loves the people as his sons because he wants to hold these people as great men, because the military rations of the Liu Mang army are really insufficient, and it may happen that the people will not be full for a long time. If Liu Mang's army is arrogant and blessed among the people, the people's resentment will really be reversed. If Liu Mang is very popular, Liu Mang does not need such a people to survive and die with his Liu Mang army, but the people may persist for a longer time when they are not full, and the possibility of riots will be reduced.

Haven't you seen that Lu Kang, the prefect of Lujiang, hid in the Wancheng prison with the people and their families after the breakup of Wancheng City. There was no food at that time. As long as the people opened the thousand-pound pendant, Sun Ce had to let them go to soothe the people, and they could go out alive. However, no one of the people in the group had any objections and they all starved to death in the Wancheng prison.

"You can rest assured about this house problem, uncle, the quality of these houses is absolutely sufficient. Not to mention the wind, even a big fire will be difficult to burn it all! The buildings built by these cement are no worse than bluestone." Most of the houses in ancient times were made of wooden, so he was extremely afraid of fire. Once the fire broke out, it would be a series of houses that were difficult to extinguish. Liu Mang said that, and asked Huang Zhong to chop these houses with a sword. The hardness of the cement was originally very strong. He was afraid of blunt weapons, but he was not afraid of sharpness. Although gaps were cut out in several places, the people still had a general impression of this cement.

Although the sword was cut up and failed to cut it off, the people were still watching. Liu Mang nodded in his heart. It seemed that if he did not set an example, these people would not be able to live in. This was also because if it were him, he would have some fear when he met a strange thing. Just as a proverb said, the first person to eat crabs! In the past, crabs were treated as locusts like disasters. Crabs had pincers and could prey on green seedlings, so it was a big deal for crabs to appear in the fields. If they were caught, they would throw them into other people's fields. The people were very afraid as if they were afraid of locust plagues. If they were not the first to eat crabs, everyone might still think it was a pest. But with the first to eat crabs, it would be different. The deliciousness of crabs is something that other animals cannot compare to. From that time on, crabs have officially become a dish rather than a pest.

"Hansheng, please send someone to help me bring all my bedding and clothes, and then ask two maids to help me clean up!" Liu Mang said to Huang Zhong.

"Head of the family?!" Yang Hong was a little confused?

"I have lived here from now on! This room, and that room are all empty for me! Bring all the things in my military tent here, I'll work here, let them find me here! Hansheng, please let the city management army send a team of troops to take over the safety here!" Liu Mang said to Yang Hong.

"Living here? No, head of the family!" Yang Hong was a little anxious. He also knew that the cement was very hard, but he was still wary of the new things like the old men. Moreover, it was so bare that it was no match for the Shouchun Palace.

"All right, okay!" Liu Mang waved his hand and told Yang Hong not to persuade him anymore. He has not lived here for a long time. At most, more than a month, all he needs is to make the people feel at ease.

Huang Zhong quickly brought all the things in the side hall of Shouchun Palace. After occupying ten bungalows, he sent additional population guards around him, and Liu Mang officially settled down.

With Liu Mang taking the lead, the people also lived in one by one. After all, the Great Han Saint King lived in person. If it was blown by the wind, then a great nobleman might ignore his life.

Sure enough, Liu Mang had only lived there for more than a month, because something happened! Zhang Xiu of Wancheng sent an envoy to Lujiang to question why Lu Bu sent troops to rob his gold. This was still General Pingdong of the Han Dynasty, and what was the difference between it and the robbers? It is said that the batch of gold was 16,000 gold.

Who is Lu Bu? He was originally an extremely arrogant person. When someone pointed at the nose and scolded him like this, Lu Bu was disdainful of explanation. If the envoy dared to scold him, he would dare to kill him. Zhang Xiu was something in Lu Bu's heart. When his uncle Zhang Ji was there, he didn't dare to treat Lu Bu like this. Seeing Lu Bu was also Wen Hou. Now such a junior dared to be arrogant. Don't say that Lu Bu didn't snatch him, even if he snatched him, so what if he snatched him, it wasn't that a slap!

When Zhang Xiu saw this posture in Wancheng, he was sure that the gold was robbed by Lu Bu. After all, the place where the gold was lost was between Liu Biao in Jingzhou, Zhang Xiu himself in Wancheng, and Liu Bei in Yuzhou, Lujiang, and Lu Bu in Lu, Lu Bu in Lu, Yuzhou. The person who gave the gold was Liu Bei, so Liu Bei could not send his men to rob him. Liu Biao in Jingzhou was busy fighting with Sun Ce in Jiangdong. He had no soldiers here, so the only one left was Lu Bu.

First, Lu Bu disdained to explain that he killed the envoy in Wancheng, Zhang Xiukai was angry and angry, and guilty. Second, Lu Bu had cavalry, and could rob this batch of gold after a day. Third, Lu Bu was very poor now. He spent most of his savings for food and supplies. This six thousand thousand gold was really tempting for Lu Bu.

The gold was robbed and the messenger was killed. How could Zhang Xiu resist it? He waved his hand and immediately started the war. The 20,000 Western Liang Iron Cavalry immediately started from Wancheng and headed towards the Lujiang River in Yangzhou. (To be continued...)
