Chapter 208 Zhang Xianxian takes action

Next, Wang Kang began to be busy. Whether it was the floor furnace or the new blower, he used the knowledge in his mind and combined it with the current conditions to design it.

Although the drawings have been drawn, he still needs guidance on some details.

Li Zheng and the others did not leave either, and kept watching with cold eyes.

Wang Kang ignored it. When he actually did it, they would feel what pain in the face was.

Under Wang Kang's arrangement, all the craftsmen worked intensively.

Wang Kang's purpose was also very clear. He first gathered people to build the first set of underground furnaces.

The entire western suburbs of Xinfeng County are in full swing and have become a complete construction site, mainly divided into four parts.

Building roads and digging tunnels is naturally the most important part, and everything else serves it.

There is also a section dedicated to firing refractory bricks in preparation for building the hearth.

At this moment, Wang Kang is building an underground furnace to smelt iron and steel.

There is also a kiln at the foot of the mountain that is specialized in producing cement.

Cement is an indispensable item in road construction. It can firmly bind sand, stone and other materials together.

This is also Wang Kang's preparation for concrete.

The construction of a tunnel is not just about drilling a straight hole. There are many things to consider, such as support and prevention of collapse. This is a very important issue.

If it is a short path, it may be possible to just use wood and stones to support it, but such a long-distance tunnel is definitely not feasible.

And the best support is naturally reinforced concrete!

This is why Wang Kang spent so much effort on smelting iron and steel and producing cement.

Of course, these two are also essential in postmenopausal construction and play a huge role.

There are two main raw materials required for the production of cement, limestone and clay, both of which are very common and can be found in Xinfeng County.

The main difficulty lies in the need to crush the raw materials into powder. Naturally, it is impossible to have large-scale crushing equipment in this era.

So Wang Kang could only choose to use a stone mill to complete this step, crush it with a stone mill, and then manually screen it...

The process is rather cumbersome, but that’s all it can do.

Such a huge workload naturally requires a lot of manpower. Now the labor force on the entire construction site is much greater than on the first day.

Because the recruitment of personnel is always going on, the greater the manpower investment, the shorter the production time will be.

And because of the generous treatment, more and more people came here after hearing the news, including many villagers from hidden small villages.

Real public participation!

Even the idle people in Yangzhou City come here to work and make money!

Everything is proceeding step by step. According to Wang Kang's organization, a streamlined work model has been formed, with one link within the other. I believe that it won't be long before initial results are achieved...

At this moment, on Dongshan Mountain near Xinfeng County, Dong Yiwu was looking down at the busy construction site below with a frown.

Since the start of construction, coming here to see it in person has become something he must do every day.

As the governor, if he comes, others will have to follow.

So this scene happened.

Looking at the heated scene below, Dong Yiwu always felt guilty because such a scene was so shocking!

In my impression, such a large-scale construction scene has not happened many times even in Zhao State, but under Wang Kang's organization, it was realized.

If he really allows him to build this road, Xinfeng County will be revitalized and will be completely different from before.

"What should we do?" Dong Yiwu murmured.

"I don't think we need to do anything, just wait and see the joke!" Zheng Qigong snorted coldly.

Ever since his son's death, he had deep resentment towards Wang Kang.

Zheng Xian died of the disease, and the news spread throughout Yangzhou City, making him sad and humiliated.

But because there is no definite evidence, there is no way to deal with Wang Kang, so he can only live with his words.

Zheng Qigong said coldly: "Seeing that more manpower has been invested today than yesterday, I think this prodigal son is crazy!"

"This is equivalent to throwing money at it every day. If this continues, even their Fuyang Mansion won't be able to bear it!"

"This prodigal son will ruin his whole family!"

Yu Xingye also echoed: "That's right. He has lost his mind and still wants to build a tunnel? It's simply fantastic!"

"The continuous width of Dongshan is more than two miles. Such a long tunnel cannot be supported and loaded with wood alone! Even if it is finally completed, it will not be passable and will collapse sooner or later!"

These words were also recognized by most people, because this was the fact, but they did not know that Wang Kang had already thought of solutions to these problems.

After the dullness, Dong Yiwu said again: "We need information, we must grasp the actual situation, and...huǒ yào, we must continue to investigate!"

"This is the centerpiece!"

Speaking of this, he felt a little sad. Several people sent out last night failed to return. It was obvious that the mission failed.

It is obvious that Wang Kang has strong resistance in this regard. Being able to build such a team in such a short period of time speaks volumes.

Repeated lessons have shown that Wang Kang cannot be treated with any contempt.

Thinking of this, he said again: "Even if he has the possibility of failure, we can't let him go smoothly! We have to find a way to cause him some trouble!"

"One day wasted and he will be wasted!"

Hearing this, several people were deep in thought, and there really wasn't any good solution for the moment.

"I wonder if Miss Zhang has any good strategies?" Dong Yiwu asked.

Although they were asking each other, his eyes did not dare to rest on him...

What Zhang Xianxian is wearing today is not a skirt, but a cheongsam designed by Wang Kang.

The cheongsam is not an ordinary cheongsam, but a very bold cheongsam that is more interesting.

Even though she was dressed like this, Zhang Xianxian didn't look out of place at all.

She was currently sitting on a lift chair, crossing her legs and looking down with interest.

Dong Yiwu was actually a little dissatisfied in his heart. It was only after the governor's daughter arrived that he finally realized what it meant to be delicate and to have the best in food and clothing!

Her residence was renovated, and her servants carried her around every day...

Wang Kang is a prodigal son, and Zhang Xianxian is a prodigal daughter.

Regardless of these, what dissatisfied Dong Yiwu the most was that the clothes she wore were all made by the Earl's Mansion, and she also spoke highly of Wang Kang.

I've been here for a few days and haven't come up with an idea, just wandering around.

Although he was dissatisfied, he still spoke respectfully. He had no choice but to ask someone to have a good father.

And because Zhang Xianxian was dressed like this, she didn't even dare to look at it.

"Isn't it easy to cause him some trouble?" Zhang Xianxian said at this time.

"What is it?" Dong Yiwu asked hurriedly.

This young lady is finally taking action.

"Hasn't he been recruiting people all the time? Arrange our people to go in, and then..."

After hearing Zhang Xianxian's words, the eyes of several people became brighter and brighter.

Dong Yiwu sneered.
Chapter completed!
