However, Zhang and Cao have always believed Chen Wanrong's words without thinking: "We will do whatever General Chen says! We will need manpower, we will definitely draw."

Chen Wanrong was very satisfied with their answer and praised him: "You two really understand the overall situation!"

When I entered the workshop, I saw the craftsmen busy, sweat hanging on their foreheads. Chen Wanrong looked at the rotary kiln that was rotating slowly, which was no different from the one in Chang'an. He was very happy: "When the steam engine is made, there is no need to be built by the river, and there is no need to use water anymore!"

"Steam engine?" It's okay if Chen Wanrong didn't mention it. As soon as he mentioned it, it immediately attracted the interest of the two: "Have you done it?"

Chen Wanrong thought for a while and said, "It should be soon! When I left Chang'an, it was not good yet. With Master Liang here, I wouldn't be able to do it."

Liang Lingzan is a genius mechanic, and Cao and Zhang both have absolute confidence in him: "Then hurry up, we'll wait for it!"

A team of carriages galloped away with cement. Chen Wanrong was very surprised and asked, "Didn't you say you made cement blocks here? Why did you transport them away? I see how they look, they are dusty and transported far away, right?"

Zhang Deming explained: "General Chen, you don't know. The cement blocks are made here because the weather is cold and there is no way to construct, so I have to do so. Now that the weather is getting warmer, we can build outside, so we will transport the cement over and make cement blocks on the construction site, which is easier to do."

The advantage of doing this is that you don’t have to transport sand or lime, you can use materials locally, saving you a lot of trouble.

Chen Wanrong was even more excited and said, "Then I have to go to the construction site to see it!"

Zhang Deming grabbed him and said, "General Chen, you can't go! Do you know where we are building roads now? That's Yiwu Road, you have to pass through Yumen Pass. There are still hundreds of miles away from Yumen Pass!"

Cao Zhixiong then explained: "Aren't we going to first cultivate the worst and most difficult place to pass? The road conditions in Yiwu Road are pretty good in the area of ​​Yumen Pass and can be passed. The more we go west, the worse it is. The place we are now building is more than 200 miles away from Yumen Pass."
