After settling down the Yiwu Country's caravan, Li Yunhao returned to his study room to light candles and draw a city plan.
Li Xiu Ning, who was wearing a muslin dress, placed a bowl of tonic soup on the desk.""It's very harmful for Yun Hao to not sleep at this late hour.”
Li Yunhao hugged Li Xiuning's slender waist in his arms.
"The buildings at Jade Gate Pass need to be re-planned. I'm drawing a plan.”
Li Xiu Ning picked up the blueprints that were interlaced in the middle and horizontal." In the center of the city is the Governor's Mansion. To the east is the industrial area, to the south is the residential area, to the west is the agricultural area, and to the north is the military camp..."
Li Xiuning carefully looked at the plan on the blueprint and was immediately deeply shocked by Li Yunhao's meticulous urban design.
"It will take 20 years to build all the houses in the blueprint. It will bring more than 100 times the construction and development speed of Jade Gate Pass.”
Li Yunhao shook his head." At most, in half a year, all the buildings on the blueprint will appear at Jade Gate Pass. The number of each building on the blueprint is the construction time.”
Li Xiuning looked at the blueprint again. Two days for public toilets, seven days for 30-meter-high city walls, ten days for laying basic roads, twenty days for laying water pipes, one month for ordinary residential areas, and agricultural areas.
"Although I, Li Xiuning, only know how to march and fight, how can I build a 30-meter-high wall in seven days?" Li Xiuning retorted.”
" It's fine," Li Yunhao said with a smile." Tomorrow, the cement kiln will produce cement and the steel bars produced by the steel furnace will be combined. Seven days is enough to build a city wall."”
Li Xiu Ning had never heard of cement before.""Water and mud? How could such a thing build a city wall?”
The cement kiln blueprint was a random technology blueprint that appeared when Li Xiuning filled in the exercise book, but only Li Yunhao knew this secret.
Li Yunhao patted Li Xiuning's head.""I'll show you tomorrow."
Li Xiuning picked up the bowl and scooped up the tonic soup with a small spoon."Then go back to the bedroom and rest early after drinking this bowl of medicine.”
"We haven't tried the study room before. We'll sleep here tonight…"
Li Yunhao blew out the candles. The study was pitch black and he couldn't see anything. He felt around in the dark and hugged Li Xiuning tightly. He took off her gauze clothes and started to torture her.
——————
At three o'clock in the afternoon, the fully automatic cement kiln appeared in a ball of golden light. The guards carried away the screens that blocked the surroundings.
Li Yunhao asked ten Kunlun slaves to add limestone, clay, ingredients, and plaster into the cement kiln…
Materials were added in front of the cement kiln, and the finished cement fell from the side exit.
The steel bars were inserted into the rocks ten meters underground to build the city wall. The cement was mixed evenly and filled into the gaps between the rocks and the steel bars.
The generals and soldiers of the Jade Gate Pass gathered together to watch the Kunlun slaves mix cement and sand to paste the city wall.
"Can this sticky grey mud block the attack of the Turkic cavalry?" the Zhonglang General asked curiously.”
"The prefect said that cement can be quickly dried and can be used to build a 30-meter-high solid city wall.”
The merchants from Yiwu came over to watch the show.
"After all, cement is still cement. Even with the support of steel bars, it is impossible to build a strong city wall, let alone build a 30-meter-high wall.”
Li Yunhao said to the Yiwu merchant,""We made a bet that if I build this wall in seven days, you will send 1000 Kunlun slaves to Jade Gate Pass.”
The merchant was sure that Li Yunhao would lose."If you can't build a 30-meter-high wall in seven days, you have to buy 1000 Kunlun slaves at double the price."”
Li Yunhao asked the registrar to prepare a brush, ink, paper, and inkstone. He made two bets in black and white with the merchants from Yiwu.
The Yiwu merchant laughed out loud as he looked at the bet as if he was looking at money. One Kunlun slave was worth five taels of silver for 1000 of them. That was a free profit of 5000 taels of silver.
The Yiwu merchant was not afraid that Li Yunhao did not have enough silver. His goal was the pure steel produced by Li Yunhao.
The rarer an item was, the more valuable it was. War between countries required a large number of weapons and armor, and the pure steel of Jade Gate Pass was the best material for forging weapons and armor.
The Yiwu caravan left Jade Gate Pass in high spirits and seized the time to go to other countries to buy Kunlun slaves.
"Aren't you worried that the city wall won't be built?" the lieutenant asked Li Yunhao in a low voice. What if we don't have enough money to pay for the bet?”
Li Yunhao patted the lieutenant's shoulder and smiled.
"It's impossible to compensate them in silver. I won't compensate them in this lifetime. Even if I lose the bet, I won't compensate them in silver. At most, I'll capture the Yiwu caravan and make them slaves, stealing their resources.”
The lieutenant was speechless. What Lord Li Yunhao said made sense. It was too f * cking awesome.
Li Yunhao gathered 200 soldiers to build the city wall with cement.
In the evening, the soldiers were surprised to find that the cement on the city wall had dried up and was still very hard.
The wall would not be damaged even if water was poured on the dry cement.
The Jade Gate Pass had a climate of the tropical monsoons. The wind was strong, and the air was dry. The cement that would have taken half a day to solidify was completely dried in two hours.
In the next six days, the soldiers directly raised the city wall to 28 meters high and the city gate tower to more than 36 meters. In the barren desert, it was a huge screen that cut open the sky.
Li Yunhao had nothing better to do and went to the city gate to watch the soldiers mix cement. He was so bored that his balls hurt.
He sat on the city tower, enjoying the wind and drinking wine, looking out at the desolate plains.
300 meters away, eight wild northwest wolves were chasing a white horse. There was a reins on the horse's head and a saddle on its back. It was probably a lost horse.
Li Yunhao took out a low-level riding skill book and a low-level riding archery skill book. He spent two taels of gold to learn them to perfection.
Even though it was a low-level skill book, the Great Completion realm was equivalent to a first-class rider in the eyes of ordinary people.
He mounted his warhorse and charged out of Jade Gate Pass with his bow and arrows.
As the sandstorm blew in his face, he narrowed his eyes and sprinted on the horse's back.
A wild wolf noticed Li Yunhao and immediately pounced over.
Li Yunhao rode on the horse and drew his bow, shooting an arrow through the wolf's head.
The wolf king howled and commanded the wolf pack to surround them from both sides.
Li Yunhao pulled his bow and fired continuously. His movements were smooth and his posture was standard. Two arrows blinded the Wolf King's eyes.
He drew his bow again and shot arrows, killing six wild wolves in one go.
The wolf king was twice the size of a wild wolf. It bared its teeth and growled at Li Yunhao, ready to pounce and bite at any time. It sniffed the air to determine Li Yunhao's location.
Li Yunhao pulled out the alloy Tang sword from the horse's back. As long as the Wolf King dared to rush up, it would definitely die.
The Wolf King retreated two meters and ran towards Li Yunhao.
Whoosh!
An arrow with a red feather on its tail streaked across Li Yunhao's cheek and pierced through the Wolf King's head.
In the northwest direction, a female general in silver armor was riding a black horse. She held a longbow in her hand, and her black hair fluttered in the wind.
A pair of beautiful phoenix eyes stared at Li Yunhao.
Fan Lihua put away her longbow and said disdainfully,"If I had shot the arrow a little later, you would have died. Shouldn't you repay me?”
Ding! < System Notification: Border General Fan Lihua, S class beauty >
