Liu Chen had just exchanged the blueprints of the waterwheel, the city building blueprints, and the sewer reconstruction blueprints when the servant outside the door sent a message asking for an audience.
"Gongyu, what's the matter?"
Liu Chen picked up his pen and wrote down the synthesis method of nitrogen, phosphorus, and potash fertilizers. This was simple and did not need to be purchased from the research institute.
"My lord, the assistant you arranged for me a few days ago is quite smart. Under his arrangements, the gynecology and obstetrics department you mentioned was formed in just two days.”
Qiushou explained with a smile.
Liu Chen paused and asked in confusion,""Guo Jia?"
"Yes."
"How did he solve it?"
Liu Chen asked curiously as he wrote.
Because he changed the " head tax " to " household registration tax ", it would inevitably lead to an outbreak of pregnant women in Changshan in the future. In order to avoid accidents, he suggested that Hua Tuo establish a " gynecology and obstetrics department."
This was a precaution to prevent problems in the pregnant woman and prevent the baby from dying.
"He unified the midwives of Chang Shan into a department of gynecology and obstetrics, and recruited female students with these women as the leaders. It was not to the extent of making Physician Hua feel awkward.”
Qiushou said with a smile.
"Not bad, you're a little smart." Liu Chen nodded and smiled,"Do you want to seek an official position for him?"”
"My lord is indeed talented. This subordinate wants to promote Guo Jia to the position of chief official.”"Such a talent should not be buried." Ju Shou cupped his hands and bowed.”
"Yes."
Liu Chen immediately agreed. Letting Guo Jia and Guo Fengxiao become a 600-dan chief official was already a waste of talent. He smiled and said,"There's no need to come and ask me about such a small matter in the future.”
Thank you for your trust, my lord."
Ju Shou said gratefully," During this period of time, many commoners have brought their families to our Chang Mountain. Now, there are some places to live. Do you want to order another new residence?"”
"I have the same intention."
Liu Chen nodded and said," I plan to expand the city around the capital and build roads to connect the counties of Changshan. It will be convenient for transportation and benefit the country and the people."
"The coal mine has been producing continuously. Although it's still June, before the cold winter arrives, we need to prepare for the people's winter. The original houses also need to be rebuilt.”
Qiushou listened to them one by one, then cupped his hands and said,
"This subordinate will order people to prepare tung oil, yellow mud, and sand. I wonder if my lord will only rely on Sanhe soil to build the road, or will he need to lay green bricks?”
The ancient road was not an ordinary dirt road, but a mixture of tung oil, yellow mud, and sand. Its strength was comparable to cement.
Of course, it was only comparable!
Some of them would even be paved with green bricks and stone slabs, but the financial resources and manpower required were massive, and the cost was too high!
"No, I'm going to use cement."
Liu Chen's words stunned Qiushou for a moment. What was cement? He racked his brain for a long time, but there was no result.
"My lord, what is cement? Is it a mixture of water and mud?"
Qiushou asked in embarrassment.
Every time he talked to Liu Chen, he felt like a fool.
" The cement needs to be mixed with limestone, clay, and iron slag…" Liu Chen explained briefly.
The Han Dynasty was already very mature in terms of lime firing technology. As early as the Christian era, lime mortar was used in buildings.
In this way, there was not much technical barrier for the firing of cement.
After hearing this, Qiushou quickly understood and praised with some admiration,"
"My lord is really well-read and extremely intelligent! If there was cement, the dam and the city wall could be strengthened!”
Liu Chen nodded and smiled.
Speaking of cement, one had to think of red bricks. Although the quality was not as good as green bricks, it was enough to be used together with cement!
The main reason was that it was simple, convenient, and fast to make!
The only regret was that the cement needed to be matched with steel bars, otherwise it would easily crack. Otherwise, he could rebuild the future high city and cement dam.
Of course.
It was not possible to build high-rise buildings with cement and red bricks, but it was more than enough to build cement brick houses.
It was faster and more efficient.
It was suitable for the Chang Shan Country, whose population had suddenly skyrocketed.
Liu Chen finished writing the ratio of nitrogen, phosphorus, and potash fertilizers while talking to Qushou. He then stood up and said,""Let's go. Follow me to the Blacksmith's Academy."
The two of them did not take the carriage. Instead, they walked toward the Smithing Academy under the protection of the guards.
Speaking of which, it had been a long time since Liu Chen had experienced the atmosphere of Chang Shan's citizens. This time, the two of them went out for a walk.
Along the way, when the commoners saw Liu Chen, they all stopped and bowed. The group of people lived and worked in peace and contentment. It was completely different from the chaos in the outside world.
With Hua Tuo and other miracle doctors, as well as the addition of the medical center, the physical fitness of the people of Chang Shan was steadily improving.
In addition to the bumper harvests and tax reform, the family had more than enough. After reducing their worries, their health and mental state had greatly improved.
It was hard not to live a long life when one's body and mind were happy.
Of course.
The soldiers guarding around Chang Mountain also contributed greatly.
The Yellow Turban Army and the Black Mountain Army did not even dare to harass Chang Mountain. They were afraid that Liu Chen would lead his troops to attack them again.
As the two of them walked, they heard a storyteller outside a teahouse.
"... The old lord went to the Tushita Palace and untied the Great Sage. He put the pipa bone piercing device into the Eight Trigrams Furnace and ordered the Taoist who was watching the furnace and the boy who was holding the fire to fan the fire to train...
"So that furnace is the Qian, Kan, Gen, Zhen, Xun, Li, Kun, Dui Eight Trigrams…
" He is about to enter the Xun Palace. Xun is the wind. If there is wind, there is no fire. It is just that the wind stirred up smoke and made his eyes red, making them old and sick, so it is called Fiery Eyes..."
The storyteller was talking about Journey to the West.
Back when Liu Chen was handling the newspaper, in order to increase his anticipation and sales, he had exchanged for hundreds of popular novels.
Naturally, they could not neglect the villagers of Chang Shan. Soon, they were printed through movable type printing, which also enriched the entertainment life of the people of Chang Shan.
"My lord is really a genius. He can actually write such an easy-to-understand mythological novel.”Qiushou started to flatter again.
"The author of Journey to the West is Wu Chengen, not me, Liu Chen."”
"This subordinate understands! This subordinate understands!" Qiushou threw an " I understand " look over, making Liu Chen speechless.
Even though he had labeled the author, no one believed him. They firmly believed that Liu Chen was the one who wrote it.
He was just afraid that some sarcastic remarks from the higher-ups would cause unnecessary suspicion!
They didn't even think about how Liu Chen would have the time to copy these hundreds of popular novels with hundreds of millions of words.
