¡°Let¡¯s go and see how they build roads.¡±
Li Dongyang looked at the busy scene here. It was hard to imagine that in the era of famine, these victims actually ate meat to survive. He shook his head slightly and looked at the official road ahead. It was extremely busy here.
On a road that is several kilometers long, tens of thousands of people are working together and are busy. Not far away from Tianjin City, a section of the road that has been repaired is spacious and clean, divided into two sides, and trees are even planted in the middle.
This is another place that makes the three of them very curious.
Soon, the three of them arrived at the road construction site. They saw that the victims were divided into many working groups. Some were responsible for opening up roads, some were responsible for leveling the land, and some were responsible for transporting sand and gravel
"Why did they pour mud on the official road?"
Zhou Jing¡¯s eyes quickly focused on the area ahead. On the official road that had been opened up and smoothed, a large number of people were carrying loads of gray mud and pouring it on the wide, smooth official road.
This mud looks similar to the mud in the fish pond. There seems to be no difference at all, except that there is a lot of sand and gravel in the mud.
"Let's go and take a look. It's just nonsense. This is not building roads. This is destroying roads."
When Li Dongyang saw it, his face immediately showed anger. The importance of officialdom is self-evident. This is the blood vessel that connects every place in the Ming Dynasty.
When he first saw someone building a road, he was very happy, because since ancient times, building bridges and building roads has been a good thing that benefits one party. If there are landlords and rich people who can pay to build roads, build bridges, etc., then it will be a good thing. It can be regarded as a thumbs up and a few words of praise from the locals.
Without it, in this era, transportation is extremely inconvenient, and building roads and bridges is a very expensive matter. It often requires the government to come forward to recruit people in the form of corv¨¦es to build bridges and pave roads during slack periods.
Now I see that these people are pouring mud on the official road to build the road and destroying a good official road. This makes Li Dongyang very angry. The road was not easy to build, but now it is destroyed. It is simply unforgivable.
He walked over angrily, but before he could say anything, someone came up to stop them and said, "Sir, I'm really sorry. The road is being built here. You can't pass through it for the time being. Please take a detour."
"Are you building a road?"
Li Dongyang pointed to the cement slurry poured on the official road and asked: "You just use rotten mud to build roads?"
Dong Xiaoshan looked at the people in front of him. The three leaders were dressed in extraordinary clothes and had an extraordinary bearing. They had the aura of being in a position of power for a long time. Coupled with the guards around them who were responsible for protecting them, it was clear at a glance that these people had extraordinary origins.
"Sir, this is not rotten sludge. This is cement, which is made by mixing cement, sand and gravel. Although it looks like silt now, after a few lines are passed, after the water in it dries, it will It will be as hard as a rock.¡±
Dong Xiaoshan smiled and explained that people who have never seen cement think it is rotten silt, which makes a lot of jokes.
"cement?"
Li Dongyang, Zhou Jing, and Zhang Mao looked at each other, and each saw a look of confusion in each other's eyes. None of them had heard of or seen such a thing.
"This cement was invented by Mr. Liu. Even though it is gray and inconspicuous, it is the best adhesive. It is perfect for building roads, buildings, cities, etc." But that¡¯s it.¡±
"Sir, please come with me and I will show you."
Dong Xiaoshan was very busy and had no time to pay attention to the three of them, but looking at the appearance of the three of them, if he didn't explain clearly, he might cause trouble.
After hearing what Dong Xiaoshan said, the three of them quickly followed. Dong Xiaoshan said as they walked: "Look, three adults, this is the road we just paved with cement. Because the cement has not dried, it mixes with the silt." Almost, you can make a deep footprint with just one step."
Dong Xiaoshan stepped on the cement that had just been laid, and a footprint immediately appeared.
When Zhang Mao heard this, he was not afraid of getting dirty and stepped on it himself, and a footprint also appeared.
"Hurry up and fill in the footprints and smooth them out."
Dong Xiaoshan smiled and then said to the road builder next to him. He was wearing the clothes of a steward. The victims who were building the road next to him knew immediately when they saw it, and they quickly repaired the footprints they made.
Dong Xiaoshan took three more peopleHe continued to walk forward, and soon after walking for more than ten meters, he pointed to a piece of cement road that was already slightly dry and said: "This piece of cement road was probably built more than an hour ago. The moisture is still not dry, but it is already a bit solid." .¡±
Zhang Mao didn't believe it, so he stepped on it with his foot. This time, he used a little more force to make a footprint.
Without stopping, Dong Xiaoshan continued to walk forward with a few people. This time he walked a few hundred meters and said: "We repaired this area yesterday afternoon. Now we can almost walk, but we still can't walk too hard." We have to wait a few more days for the carriage."
When he got here, Dong Xiaoshan no longer took the side road, but walked directly to the cement road.
When Li Dongyang, Zhou Jing, Zhang Mao and others saw it, they all stepped on it one after another. The feeling under their feet was as if they were stepping on a big stone. This made the three of them slightly surprised. Zhang Mao even didn't believe in evil and used all his strength on it. Stomping on the cement road.
"Ouch~ so hard."
With this stomping of his feet, Zhang Mao couldn't help but cry out in pain, and then he immediately became energetic. He couldn't help squatting on the road, tapping with his fingers, and studying it carefully.
Li Dongyang and Zhou Jing looked at each other, and they also squatted down and touched and knocked with their hands, as if they were hitting a hard stone.
¡°This is simply unbelievable!¡±
Li Dongyang was a little unbelievable. He stood up and looked back behind him. The cement slurry that was constantly poured on the official road was as mud-like. After it dried, it turned out to be as hard as stone.
??Look at the cement road in front. According to the standards of later generations, this cement road should be a two-way six-lane road. It is very wide and very flat. It is like a mirror. It has long lost the appearance of the original official road.
Although the original official road is the best road in this era, this official road is actually just an ordinary dirt road. It is normal to have potholes. It is also relatively narrow, not even half as spacious as it is now. If it rains Otherwise, the official road will become muddy and very difficult to walk.
But now, Li Dongyang looked at the front and the official road coming from behind, and he was extremely shocked. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com - Didn't finish reading?
