Maintenance and repair require a huge investment of manpower, material resources, and financial resources; therefore, before construction, the solidity of the three Shushui embankments must be taken into consideration. In other words, the demand for cement is terrifyingly high.”

Yang Tong, who grew up playing next to the county cement factory in his previous life, actually knew that the main ingredients of cement are limestone, clay, and iron ore powder. They are first ground and mixed into raw meal in proportion, and then the clinker is calcined in a blast furnace at about 1500 degrees.

Clinker and gypsum must be ground together to become cement. It is difficult to build a smelting furnace that can produce a high temperature of 1,500 degrees.

"Your Majesty." Wei Yunqi cupped his hands and said: "The Ministry of Industry discovered large volcanoes in Laotu Mountain in the remnants of Yanshan Mountain in Pegasus County. After extracting the volcanic rocks, they made cement on the spot and then poured it into the sea through water.

The preliminary preparations Weichen mentioned include making cement."

"That's good!" Yang Tong said again: "The second problem is that the 'wide river embankment' will cause the vast beach area to be unusable. The width of the river and the height of the embankment must be set according to the water regime and water potential. If

To sum up, seeking for lenience and height will not only waste a lot of manpower and material resources, but also waste a lot of land on both sides of the Taiwan Strait."

"Wei Chen will ask officials on both sides of the Yellow River to record the water level of the Yellow River every day tomorrow until the autumn and winter when the water level drops." At this time, Fang Xuanling spoke.

"Yes!" Yang Tong nodded, "The third problem is also related to the 'wide river embankment'. Sooner or later, the vast shoal areas it creates will be secretly converted into crop fields by the people on both sides of the strait. These fields are essentially

It also weakens the effect of "consolidating the embankment of the wide river", so the embankment should be built to be tilted so that people cannot stand. If conditions permit, a layer of cement can be applied appropriately. A protective landscape wall should also be built on the embankment.

, to prevent someone from falling directly from the top to the bottom of the river. These must also be restricted in government decrees to make the surrounding people aware of the importance of the embankment and form a good habit of mutual supervision to prevent someone from being greedy for small profits and damaging the safety of the embankment for everyone.

, the embankment of life.”

"Here."

Now that the major matters have been finalized, there is no need to elaborate. The specific implementation details will be completed one by one by the Ministry of Engineering. By then, everyone will only need to see a construction plan.

After deciding on the matter, everyone drank tea and chatted. However, when it was just dawn, Yang Qinfang rushed in in a hurry.

Yang Qinfang has now taken over some of the important military affairs, and is extremely busy at this critical moment when heavy rains continue. When she saw Yang Tong was there, she immediately stepped forward and handed a memorial to Yang Tong, and said in a panic: "

Your Majesty, Xingyang sent eight hundred miles of water overnight to speed up the water situation. Due to the heavy rain, the river water surged, and a huge flood peak appeared in Taohuapu, Xingyang. Even if there is a Tongji Canal and Jishui can fully divert the flood, it will not be able to divert much of the flood. If it rains

If the water potential continues to increase, the downstream will overflow, and if it is soaked for a long time, there may be a risk of the embankment bursting."
