Otherworld Management Manual

“Lord City Lord, do you think these stones are enough for you for the time being?”

Brown pointed to the wooden cart pulled by hundreds of slaves and horses behind him. The wooden cart was full of stones, of different sizes, and looked quite spectacular from a distance.

“These… definitely aren’t enough!”

Although there are a lot of stones, Zhang Feng wants more.

“Ah? Are these not enough? Lord City Lord, I mean to ask you are you enough for the time being? I took a general look, and we only need to build three more walls in Hongye City. So many stones are enough to build a city wall. !”

Brown was afraid that Zhang Feng would not understand the construction, so he reminded him politely.

“No, the city wall I built may not be the same as you think. By the way, I need broken stones. Can you help me break these stones?”

Zhang Feng sold a trick without explaining too much.

“What? Crushed stone?”

Brown exclaimed somewhat exaggeratedly, and then realized that he had lost his temper. He quickly said to Zhang Feng:

“I’m sorry, Lord City Lord, I didn’t understand, you said you need broken stones?”

“Yes.”

“But broken stones can’t build a city wall at all! Not to mention a city wall, not even a stable!”

“Don’t worry, Your Excellency Brown, I have my own method.”

Seeing Zhang Feng’s confident look, Brown didn’t quite believe it, but he didn’t say more because he was afraid that he would cause Zhang Feng’s disgust by saying too much.

However, he plans to persuade Zhang Feng when he has a chance in the future. He still wants to stay in Hongye City to make money. The quality of Hongye City is still very important to him.

“But if you need gravel, it’s easy, I’ll let them break it up, and we’ll be able to deliver more each time.”

Brown opened his mouth to explain.

“That’s great. By the way, I still need sand, do you have it?”

“Sand? Of course, how much do you want, say so!”

“As much as possible, it’s about the same as a stone.”

“no problem!”

These stones are piled up outside the city, and a city official is in charge. After Zhang Feng and Brown are handed over, they come to the cave dwelling in Hongye City.

“Sir City Lord!”

Several workers saluted respectfully.

“Well, how’s it going?”

“Reporting to Lord City Lord, the furnace has been made.”

The worker pointed to the stoves built with cement and stone not far away.

Zhang Feng was very satisfied after reading it.

These furnaces are all prepared by Zhang Feng to make steel.

In a world with low productivity, it is naturally difficult to make steel like modern times, but it is feasible to make steel by local methods.

What is local steelmaking?

To put it bluntly, it is to use the wood on the mountain to burn it into charcoal, to remove the excessive carbon in the iron, and to reduce the carbon content to become steel.

This method is relatively simple, and the quality of the steel produced is not so good, but it is enough for Zhang Feng.

The raw materials of iron and wood, Zhang Feng had already bought from other merchants.

In fact, it would be more cost-effective to buy iron ore directly from Brown, but it takes a certain amount of time to turn iron ore into iron, and Zhang Feng didn’t want to waste time on it.

Isn’t it just consuming more gold coins, Zhang Feng doesn’t care.

The cement production in another place has also begun. Looking at the busy workers, Zhang Feng has some expectations. If these ideas of his own can really be realized, what will Hongye City look like.

In addition to these construction matters, the emerald mine discovered in the Blackrock Forest has also entered the mining stage.

However, the mining here is strictly confidential, and the workers don’t know what kind of mine this is, thinking it’s just ordinary stones.

Zhang Feng came to the warehouse of the castle.

There are a lot of jadeite rough stones here, most of them are gray and autumn, and a few have opened windows to reveal some colors.

Zhang Feng collected a part of it and put it in the space. After returning, he would find someone to appraise it and see how much it was worth.

After the completion of this matter, Zhang Feng went to the city hall again to discuss the construction of the city with some city officials, and was busy until noon before coming out.

Zhang Feng hasn’t been so busy for a long time, and he somewhat misses the days when he was the City Lord of Salted Fish.

“There are still too few manpower! I hope that next spring will attract talents to Hongye City.”

“good afternoon!”

Zhang Feng said hello when he saw the wolf-eared girl in the restaurant.

“…”

The wolf-eared girl didn’t dare to look directly into Zhang Feng’s eyes.

“what?”

Zhang Feng was a little puzzled, doesn’t this look like the character of a wolf-eared girl?

Normally, either she gave herself a blank look, or she snorted coldly. It was rare to avoid her eyes like this today.

Zhang Feng stared at Amy fiercely, until he saw Amy shrugging her ears and staring at Zhang Feng fiercely, then he looked away.

Well, this is the wolf-eared girl!

“Amy, do you remember what happened last night?”

Zhang Feng asked in a low voice.

“…”

Amy didn’t speak.

Well, that’s what I remember.

Zhang Feng coughed a little embarrassedly, then quibble, oh no, and explained:

“Yesterday I told you not to drink, but you have to listen. If I hadn’t gone back to find you, you might have been kidnapped by others!”

The wolf-eared girl stared at him without saying a word.

Zhang Feng didn’t seem to see it, he said again:

“I kindly went to find you, but you attacked me again. I wanted to leave you alone, but I was still too soft-hearted, I couldn’t bear you to be alone, and I brought you back. In the midst of this, there may be some physical contact…”

Madam Lang Er was still staring at him, not believing Zhang Feng’s words at all.

“Okay, I admit, it’s because you’re too cute, I couldn’t help licking it twice, what do you want to do, or I’ll let you beat you up, but you have to do it lightly!”

Zhang Feng spread out his hands, he didn’t believe that Amy could really beat himself.

However, he was also prepared for unexpected situations. Caroline would come later. If she really did something, Caroline would definitely not let it go.

Amy was silent for a while, then suddenly asked:

“What does ‘moe’ mean?”

“Uh…”

Zhang Feng was stunned for a moment, then quickly explained:

“It means cute, good-looking, and beautiful!”

“…Humph.”

The wolf-eared girl snorted.

Zhang Feng quietly looked at the wolf-eared girl and found that she didn’t look like she was going to be angry, and he was relieved.

Just don’t get angry.

“Amy, can you do me a favor?”

“what?”

“I may be away for a few days, but the construction of Hongye City cannot be stopped, especially the construction of the city wall, which is the most important thing. After I leave, you can help me watch. If someone deliberately makes trouble, you will Get people up-“

Zhang Feng’s words were suddenly interrupted.

“You want to leave?”

The wolf-eared lady was a little surprised.

“Well, I’m going to leave for a few days and go to a far place, but I’ll be back soon.”

“…Oh.”

“Then I’ll take it as your promise?”

“Ok.”

When Caroline came over, Zhang Feng also explained it to her.

Caroline had expected Zhang Feng to leave. Although she was a little reluctant, she didn’t say much. She just said that there are horse thieves on the road now, so he should be careful.

Amy suddenly said:

“Or… let me accompany you, I, I can drive away the horse thieves!”

Zhang Feng was stunned for a moment, then showed a bright smile.

“Don’t worry, I’ll be fine, thank you Amy for your concern!”

Zhang Feng didn’t expect that Amy would care about herself and the idea of ​​protecting herself. Suddenly, she felt a little warm in her heart, and it was not in vain that she insisted on keeping her.

“Hmph, don’t forget it!”

Amy snorted arrogantly, turned her head away and stopped looking at him.

Zhang Feng was amused. This wolf-eared girl actually has a good heart, but her personality is so arrogant that people who don’t know her think she is very indifferent.

After lunch, Zhang Feng brought the two to the study.

At the same time, Marlow Knight was also called.

“I will be away for a few days in a few days. Everything in the city depends on you.”

Zhang Feng mainly explained to Marlowe, Caroline and Amy both knew it.

“Yes!”

Marlowe didn’t ask why.

“Then there is the construction of the city wall. I will tell you how to build the city wall.”

Zhang Feng took out a piece of blueprint.

Caroline and Marlowe were surprised when they saw it.

“I’ve never seen such a city wall… Can it be successful?”

Zhang Feng’s drawing shows a rather special construction method.

The cross-section of the city wall is a trapezoid, and it is built sloping upward, with an angle of about 70 or 80 degrees, in order to make the city wall more stable.

Then the material of construction is also very strange, called “concrete”.

To put it simply, the trapezoidal shape is first fixed with wooden boards, and then a lot of steel bars are placed inside, and the concrete is poured into it. After a period of solidification, the wooden boards are removed.

This is a new method that Zhang Feng came up with through the method of building rammed earth city walls in ancient China and adding concrete materials.

It’s easy to say, and it doesn’t even require much coolie, but Marlowe knows what the most important issue is here.

“Lord City Lord, can this concrete really harden in a short period of time and become as hard as a stone?”

Marlowe was a little unbelievable. Listening to the words of the city master, this concrete should be like water, it is a liquid, but how can a liquid turn into a stone?

“Of course, I’ve already made the concrete. It’s in our cave in Hongye City. You can go and see it.”

To put it bluntly, concrete is artificial stone. It is not necessarily how hard it is. Many stones are harder than it. The reason why Zhang Feng chose to use concrete is mainly because of two points, one is fast, and the other is easy maintenance.

If it is an ordinary stone city wall, it may be difficult to repair after a piece of stone is smashed down, because you cannot find a stone of the same size, and it is very troublesome to chisel it manually.

But the concrete city wall is different. Just pour concrete into it directly. It can become what you want it to look like.

Even if the steel bars inside are broken, just connect the steel bars. It’s very simple.

“Then what is ‘rebar’?”

Caroline asked curiously.

“Rebar, you can understand it as an enhanced version of iron. I have already built the steel-making furnace. After I give you the method, you can practice it directly. It’s very simple.”

Marlowe and Caroline were lost in thought.

Obviously, these things Zhang Feng said had too much impact on them. Just listening to them gave them an incredible feeling. They needed to take it slow.

And Amy, the wolf-eared girl, was stunned. She didn’t understand a word of the communication between the three.

“Then there is the plan for our city. I discussed it with the city officials before. This is the blueprint we negotiated.”

Zhang Feng took out another blueprint.

The map of Hongye City was drawn on this piece of paper, and then some buildings were demolished and some were rebuilt, and Marlow found that the houses in Hongye City on this drawing seemed to have become smaller? Or is Hongye City getting bigger?

As if seeing the doubt in Marlowe’s eyes, Zhang Feng said:

“Most of the houses in Hongye City are one-story now, with a small number of two-story houses. As for the three-story houses, except for our castle, church, and tavern, there are no more houses. It’s a waste of space.”

“And after we have concrete, the construction speed of the house will be very fast, and the quality is guaranteed, which is much better than those wooden houses, so I decided to rebuild all the houses in our Red Leaf City, and the minimum must be two floors. .”

Marlowe understood Zhang Feng’s words easily. It sounds very good, provided the concrete is capable.

In fact, Zhang Feng can completely expand Hongye City. Anyway, everything in it belongs to him. He can build it how he wants. However, if it is expanded, the length of the city wall will be increased geometrically. Possibly built.

Moreover, there are not so many people in Hongye City now. Even if a super-large city is built, it will not work if it is not guarded.

So with the current scale of “Red Leaf Village”, it’s just right.

If it needs to be expanded in the future, it will be directly regarded as the inner city, and the same is true of adding a city wall outside.

Marlowe raised a few more questions, and Zhang Feng answered them one by one.

“Do you have any other questions?”

Zhang Feng looked at the two of them.

Marlowe and Caroline both shook their heads. There must be a problem, but now they have to digest it, so they can’t think of it for the time being.

As for the wolf-eared girl, Zhang Feng had already ignored her. She was a scumbag.

“Okay, then let’s move on to the next project, which is road construction!”

“Build a road?”

Caroline didn’t know that she was building a city wall to stop the horse thieves, how could she say that she was building a road.

“That’s right, but for now we only need to build the roads in the city.”

Zhang Feng always said that Hongye City is not only because of its small scale, but also because it is very dirty.

It is literally soil.

In the entire Hongye City, there is almost no good road, even the streets are full of potholes and dirt roads. If there is a strong wind blowing, the city will be full of loess. If it rains, the road will be even more muddy.

In Zhang Feng’s view, this greatly affects the quality of life.

This road must be repaired, especially now that there is cement, the road construction is very simple.

Regarding the issue of road construction, Zhang Feng explained it to the two of them for a long time.

Zhang Feng didn’t end the conversation until the two had no doubts.

“Okay, there are so many problems at present. I believe you can handle it well in the few days I leave. But the most important thing is the construction of the city wall. Everything is mainly about the city wall. As long as we have a solid city wall, we don’t need it. Worried about the threat of horse thieves.”

“Yes!”

“Then there is the recruitment of soldiers. This can be relaxed. As long as the background is clean and there are no bad habits, even if his physical fitness is low, as long as it does not affect the team, he can still be recruited. In addition, I will bring a batch of weapons when I return. Look to see if there is someone with great strength who can wear your armor, pay more attention…”

“Yes”

“If you don’t have enough gold coins, there are still some materials in the treasure room. Caroline, you can use it according to your discretion, but remember not to take too much at one time. This is not only because the price will drop because there is more, but more importantly, we are red leaves. The city is still a small place, it is good to be famous, but if it is too famous, there will be troubles, especially when the strength is not strong enough.”

“Yes!”

“And Amy, you will take care of Panda these few days. I have ordered bamboo from the merchant for a long time. You don’t have to worry about its food.”

“Besides, I am very interested in orcs. If you know other orcs, you can bring them to our Red Leaf City. You know, I will definitely not treat them badly.”

“…good!”

…

huh~

After explaining a lot of things, Zhang Feng was a little dry.

A glass of water was handed to Zhang Feng.

“thanks-“

Zhang Feng originally thought it was Caroline, but unexpectedly it was Amy.

After Amy handed over the water, she turned around casually, walked to Caroline and sat down.

Zhang Feng smiled and shook his head, this wolf-eared girl even cared about people so arrogantly.

“Okay, that’s all I’ve said verbally now. Next, I’ll take you to see it on the spot.”

Several people came to the big cave.

This is where Zhang Feng makes cement and steel.

Zhang Feng introduced cement to Marlowe, and then saw the mixed concrete.

Marlowe was very interested in these things, and even asked the workers questions himself.

As for the steel, it has not been smelted yet. Zhang Feng estimates that it may take a day or two to do it.

“It’s incredible!”

Seeing the solidified cement, Marlowe was amazed.

The hardness of this small piece of cement is definitely nothing to him, it can be crushed with one hand, but this magical method surprised him.

Now he understands that what Zhang Feng said before was not fanciful. It seems that the city wall with a height of several tens of meters can really be built!

After confirming that these things can be used, Marlowe is not a person of ink, so he applied to Zhang Feng to build the city wall that afternoon.

Zhang Feng has nothing to do with it.

Although there are no steel bars now, the cross-section of the city wall is trapezoidal, and the bottom is wider and thicker. Even without steel bars, it is very strong.

Hearing that the Lord of the City is going to build a new city wall, the entire Hongye City was shocked.

Those sloping city walls have been criticized for a long time, and there is no sense of security.

The current City Lord Zhang Feng is willing to build a new city wall. They are 100 supporters, and some even plan to donate some silver coins. After all, it is the City Lord’s reason that their life is getting better.

In this regard, Zhang Feng is very happy. He can get the support of the people, which shows that he is doing a good job as the city owner, but he refused to donate.

After all, it is not easy for everyone to make money, so there is no need to use their money.

And another point is that if the construction of these city walls uses their gold coins, when the construction of the city walls is completed, some changes may occur in their hearts, such as.

“I have a share of the credit for this city wall, and I should be better than others.” This kind of thinking.

Over time, it may become a hidden danger.

And those businessmen want to give Zhang Feng money. If they open this hole, I am afraid that they will not receive gifts from them every day.

Zhang Feng needs these businessmen, but he can’t get too close to them.

Otherwise, in the future, if there is any policy that is unfavorable to businessmen, it will be very difficult to handle.

So about infrastructure, Zhang Feng won’t let anyone interfere, he can just maintain a mysterious image.

This is the first time to build a city wall with concrete, and Zhang Feng still has to take a look.

Marlowe greeted people, drew lines on the periphery of the adobe city wall, circled a new city wall, and then asked people to dig the foundation.

Since this was an experiment for the first time, the foundation was not dug very deep, but simply dug a bit. I felt that it was almost the same, so I inserted a few iron rods into the foundation to simulate steel bars.

These iron rods are all wrought iron, not so brittle.

A few more large wooden boards stand on top of the foundation.

Then Marlowe beckoned people to pour concrete that had been mixed with cement, sand, and stones into the foundation in advance.

As for the problem that concrete may be exposed, Zhang Feng is not worried. The most important thing here is cement. If there is no cement, no matter how you make it, you will not be able to make concrete.

Marlow’s strange way of building the city wall made everyone very strange.

Especially those foreign businessmen, they are even more puzzled.

“This thing like bread soup can build a city wall?”

Someone pointed at the sparse concrete and questioned.

“I don’t think it is possible. There is so much water in this thing, how can it be used as a city wall? Does it mean that when others attack the city, they will use the water preserved in the city wall to drown the enemy? The city owner is really amazing!”

“Ha ha!”

These people’s laughter was very small, Marlowe didn’t hear it, but even if he heard it, he wouldn’t care. If they could figure out such a miraculous thing, they wouldn’t be a small businessman now.

Zhang Feng sat in the carriage, UU Reading www.uukanshu.com did not show up.

Caroline smiled and said:

“Lord Zhang Feng, they don’t believe you!”

Zhang Feng shook his head. He wouldn’t have a boring argument with these people. They were not at the same level, so he couldn’t make it.

“Amy, remember the person who just spoke.”

Zhang Feng pointed at the fat businessman who was talking eloquently.

The wolf-eared girl took a look and remembered it, including the appearance and smell.

“Why?”

The wolf-eared lady was a little curious.

“Hmph, I’ll give him some shoes in the future!”

Amy: “…”

Caroline: “…”

After confirming that there was no trouble, Zhang Feng left. Although the concrete setting time was fast, it was not fast enough to harden in a few minutes.

Whether we can succeed or not depends on tomorrow.

…

The sun and the moon are like shuttles, the time is like arrows, and the happy night has come again.
