Chapter 268 A School for Workers’ Children? Lao Jia Has More and More Tricks! 【Ask for Monthly Ticket】
"Daughter-in-law, what do you want to eat for lunch?"
After being ravaged by Professor Zhou again, Li Yu had another bruise on his waist. Fortunately, there were pedestrians passing by nearby, so the female military agent in the car restrained himself a little.
"Anything is fine, I don't care."
Zhou Ruotong was not thinking about food, but worried about the construction of the Three Kingdoms World Hydropower Station:
"Have they mastered engineering mechanics? Will they be destroyed as soon as they are built?"
Although it is only a small hydropower station, the professional requirements for construction are still very high, otherwise accidents such as water seepage and collapse will easily occur. Especially after the water level is raised, the pressure on the dam body will be greater.
As the car turned into the city, Li Yu said slowly:
"The grassroots team in Muke Village can build it up. After all, the Three Kingdoms still have Sun Facai, a graduate of the Polytechnic Institute. It shouldn't be a big problem. I will call Lu Bu over when I get back and give him a few more instructions."
The mixing station invested by the B&B has not yet been completed, and the high-grade cement needs to be purchased by someone else. If it is wasted, we will have to find a way to dump it elsewhere next time.
In addition, the purchase and transportation of steel bars and the like are very troublesome. If you can do it without rework, you won’t have to rework it.
Fortunately, a number of solar power panels have been installed in that mountain valley, so electricity consumption for construction is no longer a problem, and the steel bars to be used can even be processed in advance.
I went back to buy two more mixers, and all the concrete was mixed mechanically.
Although Mukezhai has been successfully built long ago, there is not much experience to learn from, because with the empress there, any unreasonableness can be made reasonable.
In the Three Kingdoms world, we have to be as scientific as possible, and we can't place all our hopes on metaphysics.
It was already noon now. Li Yu originally wanted to eat tofu fish, but he was afraid that there would be too many people and he would have to wait for a table, so he simply went to a high-end steakhouse.
You can’t always eat Chinese food, you have to try Western food occasionally.
After sitting down, Li Yu took the menu and chose medium rare beef eye. Zhou Ruotong asked about the origin of the meat and chose T-bone steak, and then added shrimp salad and other dishes.
After the waiter left, Li Yu asked in a low voice:
“Now Qingdao also has A4 beef?”
Zhou Ruo broke off a piece of pre-dinner bread and took a bite:
"It's cross-bred. My best friend's barbecue restaurant uses the beef there. It tastes good."
Then she gave Li Yu a brief introduction to beef-related knowledge, such as acid removal, meat fermentation, aging and how to eat each part, etc. This opened the eyes of Li Fuyu, who had only eaten spliced steak and synthetic steak.
After talking about this, the two continued to talk about the construction of hydropower stations.
"I took a look at the construction status of small hydropower last night. We need to consider water seepage, dams, reservoir maintenance, etc. Although it is simple, we cannot take it lightly."
"Don't worry, wife, I will make it clear... When will our projects be implemented?"
Professor Zhou previously listed a large number of companies that support the world in the book. Those related to business and trade are okay, but mixing stations, steel processing plants, etc., all require land approval before construction can begin.
Especially for the mixing station, even if it is approved, an environmental assessment must be carried out after it is built, which is very troublesome, but in order to supply high-grade commercial concrete to the world in the book, we have to endure the trouble.
Zhou Ruotong said:
"The project land has been approved. It is an open space next to the waste station. Construction will start soon... Lawyer Cao will be responsible for the environmental assessment. His family is well-connected in Yinzhou, which can save a lot of trouble."
"Good wife."
The dishes were all served, and the two of them chatted while eating. When they were full and full, Li Yu took the initiative to pay the bill, drove Professor Zhou to the archaeological team, and then rushed back to the B&B.
"Brother Dao, call Lu Bu over. I have something to explain to him."
Li Yu took out the roasted sweet potatoes he bought on the way and placed them in front of the golden retriever.
"Woo~~"
The dog agreed and ran away with the sweet potato in his mouth.
Not long after, Lu Bu's tall figure appeared in the warehouse. This guy did not immediately go to the B&B to find Li Yu, but first took stock of the supplies in the Three Kingdoms World.
After confirming that there was no damage, he left the warehouse, went to the storage room to get a small basket of food, and carried it to the study upstairs.
"Brother, why did you call me here?"
Li Yu copied the downloaded video to a USB flash drive and handed it to him:
"I just downloaded some information sheets on building small hydropower stations, including the processing of steel bars, etc. You can take a look. Don't rush to start construction, so as not to destroy the equipment and waste your efforts."
"Thank you, dear brother. Sister Cai Yan really needs these."
Cai Yan?
Li Yu asked curiously:
"She went there to take charge of the project?"
"Yes, Brother Fortune is still repairing the basement of Guo Jia in the Situ Mansion. It just so happens that Miss Cai Yan has finished learning basic construction and plans to practice using a power station. Today, she will lead people to measure the water storage capacity of the reservoir and the optimal gap required for power generation. "
Holy shit, it’s only been so long, and I’ve actually finished learning basic construction!
I thought that Diao Chan was good enough after studying junior high school courses in half a year, but I didn't expect that this one was even more powerful and entered university directly.
She is indeed one of the four most talented women. With her IQ and learning ability, few modern people can match her, right?
I thought that Sun Facai had the knowledge and insights of modern society and could become the golden thigh of the Three Kingdoms world. Unexpectedly, the real thigh was Cai Yan.
It's quite interesting to say that throughout the late Han Dynasty, Cai Yong insisted on advocating that women should not participate in politics. As a result, his daughter became the most suitable candidate to participate in politics.
In order to give chief engineer Cai Yan a better reference, Li Yu specially took a lot of books from the bookshelf and asked Lu Bu to take them back together, and asked him to give Cai Yan a message:
“Practice brings true knowledge!”
Talents must be well cultivated. Maybe Cai Yan will really become the chief engineer or chief scientist of the Three Kingdoms in the future.
After the Han Academy of Sciences is unveiled, he will directly serve as the dean.
Lu Bu took out his mobile phone and introduced Li Yu to the preparation progress of the arsenal with photos and videos.
"We have already arrived. We first built a few clay kilns and started burning bricks and tiles to build houses. We also found a lime mine. We were worried about natural disasters, so we specially built a statue of my master on a nearby mountain."
Science can only reduce the probability of natural disasters, but it is not as good as metaphysics in this regard. The statue of the empress is placed on the mountain, let alone disasters such as mudslides and landslides. Even rain and snow will not fall too much.
In the video, refugees who used to be short of food and clothing outside the city of Chang'an are now wearing camouflage clothing and protective shoes, working energetically.
There are also some people digging river sand out of the river.
The three elements of commercial concrete, cement, river sand, and gravel, are mixed together in proportion to make strong and durable concrete.
There is no special sand quarry in the Three Kingdoms World, so the sand can only be taken from the river and sieved before use.
As for the stones, it's easy to deal with them. Just use explosives to crush them, and then use a large crusher to pass them through. Then you will naturally have stones that meet the specifications.
"In the future, we will invest manpower in building sand quarries to form an industry and scale. When it stabilizes, we will pull inmates from all prisons in Chang'an to recycle the waste. The Xiliang Army will also hold a grievance meeting and kill some of the worst offenders. The generals who made mistakes were also sent to the quarry for labor reform."
Taking the road of industrialization has high requirements on manpower, especially in ancient society, where there were few large-scale machinery and it all relied on manpower.
There is no distinction between Guanzhong area, but there are enough manpower.
One or two hundred thousand Xiliang troops and nearly one million refugees who lack food and clothing are enough to meet the manpower needs of this industrialization process. The rest can even be used to open up wasteland and farmland in the surrounding areas.
Li Yu asked:
"Is there enough food? Don't let widespread famine happen."
"That's enough. Now we are making baked naan, flatbreads and other food day and night in Xiwu. We can take it away in one cart. Plus Dong Zhuo has stored up food in Chang'an. We won't be hungry for the time being."
Generally, famine does not occur in spring and summer. Only after autumn, once food is scarce, large-scale famine will inevitably occur.
Fortunately, the time flow rate in all worlds is different, and Muke Village and Qilin Village can provide some support.
"The disinfectant has arrived in the past two days. Remember to disinfect the workers' living areas regularly, urge them to take baths, and cut their hair when necessary. Survival is the most important thing."
These workers are not only the core of future industrial transformation, but also the basic base of Liu Xie's talent reserve.
Not only must we teach them knowledge, but we must also liberate their minds, so that they can free their hands and feet to better fight against the aristocratic family.
"Where are the children of the refugees? Are they also working?"
Hearing this question, Lu Bu quickly opened the photo album on his phone, opened a video and put it in front of Li Yu:
"We set up a school for workers' children and started to teach them how to read. But the environment is a bit rough, so I'll just make do with it."
Clicking on the video, Li Yu saw dozens of children sitting cross-legged on the ground in a forest in a mountain col, facing a blackboard hanging on a tree to learn Chinese characters.
Those in charge of teaching were some literate soldiers from the Bingzhou Army. They had previously trained a group of teachers through literacy classes, and now they were ready to take up their posts.
There are more than a dozen such teaching locations in the woods, and classes are divided according to age.
When the camera looks out, a sign can be seen outside the woods with Jia Xu's handwriting on it:
[Chang'an Workers' Children No. 1 Primary School]
Lao Jia is really like an old cadre, writing inscriptions everywhere, but the name of the No. 1 Primary School for Workers' Children has been well received, which fully reflects everyone's identity and label.
As long as we develop according to this momentum, there will be second primary schools, third primary schools, fourth primary schools... and even manpower and material resources can be invested to open experimental primary schools, key primary schools, etc. that promote quality education, so that people from different classes can choose different of school.
Looking at the teaching scene, Li Yu thought of the portable loudspeakers Diao Chan was wearing that day, and planned to buy a batch to contribute to the primary school for workers' children.
As for other teaching materials and teaching aids, we can study them with Professor Zhou later, select some teaching materials, find a printing house to print a batch, and let the children have books to read first.
As for now, the classroom must be set up quickly, and it is not feasible to hold classes in the woods all the time.
Well, I will buy a batch of iron houses that can be assembled quickly, buy a batch of tables, chairs and benches, and arrange various teaching aids and materials.
No matter how poor we are, we cannot afford education; no matter how miserable we are, we cannot suffer for our children.
Although the workers now only have one full meal to eat, as long as they treat these children better, the parents will definitely work harder.
Then, Li Yu learned about the progress of the field.
After tractors and chemical fertilizers were put in, the land was planted much faster. More than 20,000 acres of sweet potatoes, more than 30,000 acres of potatoes, and 50,000 acres of corn have been planted.
In addition to tractors, there are also cattle plowing, horse plowing, and even human plowing, etc., and various methods are used in turn.
Liu Xie announced in the court that the families who supported the court's decision would receive seeds from the gods next year. The courtiers did not care at first, but when they took the time to take a look outside the city, they found that they did not recognize the crops planted this time and began to doubt the emperor. Have you really been protected by God and connected with gods?
Lu Bu also let Li Yu take a look at the aerial photography of the farmland.
A row of neat and flat farmland stretches as far as the eye can see. There is a repaired water diversion canal next to it to facilitate irrigation at any time. There is also a waterwheel built upstream of the waterway. Even if the water level of the river drops, the farmland can be irrigated in time.
This new type of agriculture is many times more advanced than the farming methods that depended on the weather during the Three Kingdoms period.
Coupled with the blessing of modern seeds and chemical fertilizers, autumn will definitely be a bumper harvest that will surprise the family.
After Li Yu finished reading it, he felt as if QQ Farm was waiting for a good harvest.
However, it was not time to celebrate yet. In order to prevent famine, he explained:
"Even if the seeds and fertilizers are used up, land must be cleared and planted. When the sweet potato vines grow, cut some branches and continue planting."
"Don't worry, dear brother, we will try our best to increase planting... By the way, Mr. Wenhe asked me to copy some modern songs, please help me select some."
song?
Is Lao Jia going to fully modernize?
"What song do you want?"
Lu Bu scratched his head and remembered Jia Xu's request:
"It's suitable for workers to sing a chorus. I've heard Brother Fa Cai sing it before, like "We Workers Have Power", "Unity is Strength", etc. You can figure it out. I'll go back and change the lyrics with them, teach them to the workers, and encourage them. Give morale a boost.”
Damn it, I thought Lao Jia wanted to listen to some melodious music, but I didn’t expect it was to improve the workers’ morale.
There is no need to say that we should translate all the popular songs from those years and copy them all, so that the worker brothers in the Three Kingdoms World can have their own songs.
In the future, when fighting against aristocratic families, sing "Unity is Strength" and everyone will know that they are one of our own.
Li Yu turned on his computer and downloaded a bunch of songs for Lu Bu. He also downloaded some catchy military songs for the soldiers to sing.
In the future, there might even be a singing competition or something to promote the spiritual civilization construction of the entire army.
Finally, Lu Bu mentioned Li Jue and Guo Si.
"These two men led an army of hundreds of thousands. They joined together and said they wanted to surrender, but they still refused to hand over their military power. Xun You had already joined Huangfu Song's army and faced them head-on... Xu Rong was merging the troops. Horse, once a fight breaks out, sneak attack the two of them from behind and be sure to capture them in one fell swoop.”
Since Huangfu Song sent his troops north to reach the vicinity of Chang'an, Zhang Liao divided his troops into two. One part went to the mountain col to be responsible for the safety of factory construction, and the other part returned to Tongguan and continued to be led by Xu Rong.
Since Dong Zhuo's death, Li Jue and Guo Si have been in contact with Xu Rong, treating him as one of their own and asking for advice in various ways.
Originally, the two of them planned to disperse and each occupy a city to confront Huangfu Song, but Xu Rong persuaded them to join forces and go to Chang'an for a head-on confrontation without fear of Huangfu Song.
Li Jue and Guo Si were really obedient and united their troops. They planned to capture Huangfu Song's troops and directly besiege Chang'an.
Xu Rong also agreed with them that as soon as the war started, he would lead his troops from Tongguan to support them.
The prefect of Xingyang, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, played Li Jue and Guo Si around so much that he was even appointed as a military advisor by Li Jue and Guo Si, fulfilling the duties of Jia Xu in the original work.
Xun You was worried that the old general could not handle modern items, so he simply led a Bingzhou army to join Huangfu Song's army, striving to smoothly receive the hundreds of thousands of Xiliang troops.
Nowadays, people are being employed in all aspects, but there cannot be an annihilating war, otherwise it will be a huge loss.
At the beginning of the confrontation, Li Jue, Guo Si, Yang Feng and others believed that the imperial court was not sincere and prepared to fight back under the pretext of revenge for Dong Zhuo.
However, Xun You let the artillery fire a volley and shouted with loudspeakers. Duan Xuan, who had followed them, immediately led 20,000 men to break away from the large army and surrender first.
Xun You was overjoyed when he calmly captured 20,000 Xiliang troops. He had their weapons surrendered and escorted them back to the vicinity of Chang'an and handed them over to Gao Shun.
The qualified ones were selected to become the trapped camp, and the next few were selected as auxiliary soldiers of the trapped camp, and then two to three thousand were selected to join the Yulin Army with only the top names remaining, and the rest were all transferred to farmers or workers.
Of course, during this process, Gao Shun will hold a grievance meeting or something to conduct a preliminary screening of the soldiers to avoid a situation where a mouse droppings ruins a pot of soup.
Hearing this, Li Yu said:
"If Li Jue and Guo Si still plan to resist, continue the bombardment. If the shells are not enough, I will ask Muke Village and Qilin Village to support you."
The battle must be fought quickly, and then the defense lines of Shaanzhou and Tongguan can be defended, so that the Guanzhong Plain can start to work freely.
"Don't worry, dear brother, we have already planned to do this. Once this is completed, the little emperor should pray for rain and then formally reward all officials and courtiers."
After killing Dong Zhuo, there was no formal reward. Everyone was waiting to feel proud.
Of course, except for Lao Jia, he has made it clear that his salary can be raised, regardless of his official position, and even if he is promoted, it will only be a temporary job, not any real job, and he can't wait to have the word "fear of death" written on his face.
Liu Xie has already lost his temper with Li Yu, and this time he will make Lu Bu the Marquis of Wen and General of Hussars, which will give him a truly high and powerful position.
After killing Dong Zhuo in the original work, Wang Yun gave a bunch of officials to a group of white-eyed wolf princes, while Lu Bu, the great hero in killing the thieves, only got a general named Fenwei.
Liu Xie was in charge this time, so he naturally knew what to do.
"The little emperor said that he would let me stick to the rules and have the right to kill first and report later. However, this thing is of no use to my brother. I will bring it to you when the time comes."
My day, you are really transformed by modernization. What an honor it is to hold a festival, and you are actually sent to a B&B.
It just so happened that Professor Zhou hadn't seen this thing before, so it was time for her to study it.
While the two were chatting, Yue Fei suddenly walked into the study with a sad look on his face.
When Lu Bu saw it, he quickly handed it over with only half the basket of snacks left:
"Why did my dear brother Pengju encounter something sad?"
Yue Fei first bowed respectfully to Li Yu, then thanked Lu Bu for his kindness, and then sighed:
"Senior Brother Lin wants to live and die with Liangshan. He refuses to follow me to Qilin Village no matter what. He even wants me to stay in Liangshan and eat meat, drink wine, and divide gold and silver... It's really hopeless. !”
