Even though Xiahou Yu had a confident look, no one believed him.
Build a city in three years?
This was a legend, and mortals could not achieve it.
Moreover, such a large city only required 30,000 people to serve as corvee. What kind of joke was this?
For such a large project, there were more than 30,000 people transporting the materials.
There was also the last point. Not only did they not spend a single cent, but they also had to earn a billion yuan. This was simply beyond the imagination of the people in Yingchuan.
"Xiahou Yu, I already think highly of you, but I don't think you can complete such a grand plan!" Guo Jia said in a low voice.”
Xi Zhicai shook his head and said,"Fengxiao, Teacher Xiahou's wisdom is not something you can imagine."
In the sand table deduction just now, I always felt that my opponent was not a human, but an omniscient and omnipotent god.
He was too strong. His calculations were accurate, and his schemes were executed like the wind. If he didn't fight with Teacher Xia Hou, one wouldn't be able to follow his strength!“
Guo Jia turned to look at the actor beside him and asked,"Oh? Do you really think that someone can build a city with 100,000 households and earn 100,000 yuan with only 30,000 yuan in three years?”
Xi Zhicai said coldly," If someone had told me this before, I would have scoffed and laughed at him for being a lunatic. But today, it's Teacher Xia Hou who said this. I believe that he will definitely be able to complete this miracle!"”
Guo Jia did not expect that with just one deduction, Xi Zhicai was already prostrating himself in front of Xiahou Yu, sincerely convinced.
Just as he was astonished, Xiahou Yu walked out with a smile.
He smiled at Xun Yu and said," I just heard about your construction process. I realized that the reason why you used 100,000 people to build the city in ten years was a complete waste of manpower. Is there any difficulty in your plan?"”
Xun Yu thought for a moment and replied,"
"There are three difficulties. The first is that the construction materials are difficult to transport in and require a lot of manpower.
Secondly, the bricks used for the 100,000 residential houses could not be taken from the ground. They could only dig and burn bricks in another place far away from the city. As a result, they needed to be transported, wasting a lot of manpower.
Thirdly, a large amount of useless construction waste would be produced during the construction of the city, and many people would be needed to clean up the waste.”
" You're right," Xiahou Yu said with a smile." I'll solve the first and second problems for you first!"”
As he spoke, he walked to the sand table and drew a cross on one of the sand.
Everyone was confused and looked at each other.
"What do you mean?" asked Xun Yu.“
Xiahou Yu smiled." My plan is to dig two deep and wide ditches in the city and use the soil dug out to make bricks. We'll use the local materials."
This solved the second problem of not being able to get the soil nearby to make bricks!”
Hmm? Everyone was even more confused. Although it looked good, it was very inconvenient to have two large ditches in a city.
Xun Yu was also puzzled. He did not understand how the wise Xiahou Yu could make such a stupid move.
"I wonder how many years this method can save, but how much manpower will it save?"”
Xun Yu calculated in his heart and answered truthfully,""We can save 10,000 men and a year's time, but what about this ditch in the future?”
Xiahou Yu waved his hand to interrupt Xun Yu. He then used his hand to draw a line between a river and a ditch not far from the city he had chosen.
What was this? Xun Yu's eyes lit up.
" After we dig the ditch and have enough soil to make bricks, we will guide the nearby river water into the ditch," said Xiahou Yu.
The deep and wide ditch was turned into a temporary canal. In this way, ships transporting sand, stones, and wood could directly sail into the city, solving the problem of large construction materials being unable to be transported.”
"Wonderful! It was really wonderful! What a genius idea!"
Xun Yu shouted. In his entire plan, the transportation of materials was the most difficult and labour-intensive part.
One had to know that in this era, there were no cars, cranes, or elevators. All materials could only be carried by people, and the manpower consumed was unknown.
However, it was different with the temporary canal. Large ships could save a lot of manpower.
The rest of Yingchuan's people were also shocked by Xiahou Yu's genius idea.
"Wen Ruo, I wonder how many years we can save transporting materials with this temporary canal, and how much manpower we can save?"”
Xun Yu lowered his head and pondered for a moment before saying loudly,""We can save four years and 50,000 men!”
What was that? A canal saved four years and 50,000 people? Everyone was in disbelief.
Xiahou Yu smiled slightly, then used his hands to level the two ditches.
What did he mean? Everyone was puzzled again.
Xun Yu suddenly understood and shouted,"
" It's indeed a brilliant plan. After the construction materials are ready and the city is completed, the water in the ditch will be drained and all the construction waste in the city will be filled into the ditch. This way, the wide road will be restored.”
"I wonder how much manpower and time we can save by doing this!" Xiahou Yu said with a smile.”
This time, Xun Yu didn't calculate. Instead, he shouted excitedly,""Miracle, Miracle, can we really build a city in three years? We can really use only 30,000 people!”
As he said, he bowed to Xiahou Yu.
