Chapter 502: Sticky rice builds a house

  Chapter 502 Glutinous rice builds a house

  In ancient times, raw materials mixed with several materials such as glutinous rice and sandstone, as well as houses made of mortise and tenon structures, were much easier to use than modern cement.

  So she doesn't plan to use cement to help build the house, so that if something happens in the future, she will become a sinner through the ages.

  However, cement can still be used for road construction and sewer construction in the future.

  There is no large truck loaded with tens of tons or even dozens of tons in the previous life, and the damage to the road is not too great. As long as the quality is good, it should be able to last for a long time.

  The book she read in her previous life said that most roads in ancient times were built with glutinous rice. Although the quality is good, glutinous rice is food after all.

  Now there are probably not that many people in the whole country who have a variety of glutinous rice. It is not bad to be able to support the completion of the imperial city and the official residences.

  Besides, the world is initially determined, and many people have not eaten yet. It is estimated that there is not so much glutinous rice to build roads and sewers.

  The sewer that she thinks about draining rainwater now is the kind that people can go down for adults to stand on, not just enough for a child to climb in.

  When the rainy season comes, it is very difficult for floods to occur again.

only…

   Nangong Anshan suddenly asked: "Boy Taile, are the houses here built with glutinous rice?"

  In the previous life, it seemed that the houses were built with glutinous rice during the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties. As for the situation in Qinglong Kingdom, according to her observations in the past few years, many aspects are similar to the Han Dynasty in the previous life, but they are not like it in many aspects.

Boy Tai Le said: "Don't worry, it has already been used, but there are very few people who grow glutinous rice. According to my calculations, it is estimated that it is only enough to complete the construction of the imperial city. And to use glutinous rice to build houses, we have to wait for people from all over the country." If glutinous rice is shipped over, even if hundreds of thousands of people build it at the same time, it will take more than ten years."

   "What? More than ten years?"

   "That's right, go and read the book about the Forbidden City in your previous life. It was built for fourteen years."

  Nangong Anshan hurriedly exchanged the book for reading.

   The more she looked at her, the more she frowned.

  The reason why the Forbidden City was built for fourteen years is because it was built in the north, and many of the bricks, stones and precious wood that were needed were in the south.

  So the emperor at that time also sent people to build a grand canal from south to north, and many materials needed for the Forbidden City were transported from south to north by that canal.

  In ancient times, there were no large-scale machines, and everything had to be done by manpower. One can imagine how inefficient it was.

  She sighed. It seems that there is no Grand Canal from south to north in this life, and everything can only be done by land.

   It will be many years before Dugu Li and Dugu Huanxu live in the New Imperial City.

  But if you don’t live in the palace all the time, just stay in the hidden mansion, and all nations come to court in the future, you will definitely be looked down upon.

   Moreover, the imperial city has not been built well, and those officials have no way to live in the new courtyard.

  Her biological parents and brother Nan Gongxian couldn't live in the new house either.

She has a lot of valuable wood such as golden nanmu. On the way to Shengkang City, she went to the forest when she had nothing to do, and transplanted many precious trees into the space, as well as glutinous rice and other materials that need to be used. She has them in the system. .

  Her space can also help transport those supplies, which is much faster than a carriage.

  With her help, tens of thousands of people will start the project together, and it is very likely that the project will be completed within a year.

   But if she wants to help, there is a risk of exposure.

   She needs to study this issue carefully.

  Duguli is also kind to her. Her family can live a good life now thanks to his support for her. Axu is even more kind to her, and he can work hard for her.

  No one has more than fourteen years, and Duguli is in her thirties this year. It would be too regrettable if she could only live in the palace before she died.

  Dugu Huanxu is also fifteen years old this year, and it would be a pity if he could only live in the palace when he was almost thirty.

   At that time, I can only comfort myself, saying that it will benefit future generations.

   Tai Le boy said: "Actually, I can help you."

   Nangong Anshan raised her eyebrows and said, "Are you willing to help me?"

   "Yeah, you're like this..."

   "Is this... am I in danger?"

   "Don't worry, with me, no, with my master, you will be safe in this life."

   "Okay... okay, let me try."

   Seeing that it was almost time, she put away the book, quickly left the space, and sat back in the carriage.

   And the carriage just entered the city gate.

  Nangong Anshan lifted the curtains, glanced at the ox carts and horse carts waiting to pull goods, and then continued to let the carriages drive.

  When passing by a dental shop, Nangong Anshan asked Nian Pingping to stay where she was, went in by herself, then left with the clerk for half an hour, and then returned to the carriage.

  Nian Pingping asked: "Miss, where have you been?"

   "Well, I have something to do, let's go to the gate of the city again, and then go to the inn."

  She rented a yard as a warehouse.

"good."

   After a while, the carriage finally stopped in front of an inn.

  The inn can be regarded as being booked by her, and it is full of people she brought back.

  Dou Qinglian happened to come down from upstairs, saw Nangong Anshan coming, and excitedly stepped forward and said, "Miss, you are here."

  When other people heard the voice, they rushed to tell each other, and many people immediately gathered around.

   Nangong Anshan nodded: "Well, did you rest well last night?"

  Dou Qinglian said: "It's not bad, it's just that I came to a strange place suddenly, and I felt a little uneasy."

"It's all normal, and you'll be fine after a while." After Nangong Anshan finished speaking, she looked at the people around her and said, "Let me introduce you, she is Nian Pingping, my personal servant girl. , when you go back to Liuye Village, if you need anything, you can go to her directly."

  Nian Pingping said solemnly: "Everyone, hello, my name is Nian Pingping, and I was also picked up by my eldest lady from outside. It is not much better than what happened to you. We will take care of each other in the future."

  Everyone nodded at the same time, "Yes."

  Nangong Anshan asked Nian Pingping to stay here with them, and she went to other inns to see the rest of the people.

   After all, there are 430 people, not just a small inn.

  After seeing all the people in the inn, Nangong Anshan let them have lunch first, and then let them all go out of the city gate, wait at the city gate, and then went to the yard she rented just now.

  The courtyard is very dilapidated, and most people look down on it.

  She decided to use this yard as a warehouse, and she would ship all the things she needed in the future from here.

  She just went to transfer some daily necessities in the space, such as quilts, quilt covers, tableware, pots and pans, etc., and the drivers she called also drove over.
