Chapter 164: Expressway Connecting North and South
Chapter 164: Expressway Connecting North and South
Wang Ben patted his head and said with a sigh, "If there is this expressway, I can take a car and go to the usual food all over the country, which is so cool!"
"What to eat, you will know what to eat in a day!" Ying Zheng glared at Wang Ben angrily: "If the construction of this expressway is completed, even if the territory of Da Qin is vast, I can easily control it, and I can't help but be self-respecting and become king. The scourge of cracking earth, this is good!"
Why did Da Zhou split into so many countries, the lack of control of the emperor over all places is the most fundamental reason.
Ying Zheng had thought about this issue before, how should he control it when the Qin Dynasty was vast.
But now it seems that the highway is a very good solution!
"Sir, how should this highway be made, can I make it too?"
Chongzhen said anxiously: "If it can be made, I will also make it by smashing pots and selling iron!
"It's enough for Lao Zhao to build this expressway, Lao Zhu, you should put your mind on the country!" Ye Yu laughed: "Although you have eliminated the Jiannu army now, the domestic situation is still like a mess, which is not suitable for you. Great construction.
"When did you make the country peaceful, not to mention the highway, even the railway, I will help you build it!"
"railway?"
Chongzhen was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly asked: "Sir, what is this railway? 35
"Don't worry about this for now, let's sort out the domestic situation, and talk about the railway later!
"Sir is right!" Ying Zheng said triumphantly: "Brother Chongzhen, what you should consider now is how to develop the military industry, stabilize the domestic situation, and completely eradicate the slaves. You still have this kind of big project that requires the development of the whole country. Not suitable.""
"All right."
Chongzhen nodded with a wry smile.
Although very unwilling, he had to admit that what Ying Zheng said was indeed reasonable.
Now how can he be qualified to carry out such a large project.
Although he has wiped out the army of Jiannu now and has some spare money in his hand, Daming is still more chaotic. The generals in various places are self-respecting, and corrupt officials and corrupt officials in various states and counties are emerging one after another. There is no benefit outside.
But Ying Zheng is different, Da Qin is his one-word hall.
Even the Great Wall, the Epang Palace, he dares to undertake such super-large projects, and the expressway is a hammer.
Ye Yu smiled at Ying Zheng who was full of longing: "Actually, the expressway is similar to your current official road. When it encounters mountains, it opens up mountains, and when it encounters water, it is enough to build a wide straight road.
"Old Zhao, haven't you already produced explosives, if you encounter a mountain during the construction process, you can directly use the gunpowder to bombard it, which can save a lot of time.
"If the expressway is built to connect the north and the south, then Daqin is equivalent to opening up the two veins of Daqin's Ren and Du, and the speed of development is heaven!"
Ye Yu talked eloquently, Ying Zheng's eyes lit up when he heard it, but Chongzhen's face was full of bitterness.
You can't use such a good thing in front of you, it's like seeing a beautiful woman lying in front of you and not holding it up.
Sad and want to cry!
"Oh, by the way, cement is used to build expressways. You don't know what cement is, right?"
Ye Yu pointed to the hard ground, and said casually: "See, this is cement, a hard batch. Even if you use this stuff to build a highway, you won't be able to step on it for ten years."
"So it's cement?" Ying Zheng stomped his feet in surprise: "The widow thought it was made of slate, but it's so solid.
"Wonderful, this cement is so strong that if it is used for paving roads for decades without repairs, it is really convenient!"
"Sir, I don't know how to make cement?"
Ying Zheng and Chongzhen immediately became interested.
They fantasized while studying the concrete floor under their feet.
If you use this thing to lay the ground and build a palace, this is too cool!
You must know that whether it is Da Qin or Da Ming, their roads and houses are either rammed out of mud or made of slate.
The former is not strong enough. Once it rains heavily, it is easy to collapse, and the muddy one cannot walk at all.
The cost of the latter is too high, except for noble officials, ordinary people simply cannot enjoy this treatment.
But if there is cement, it can completely replace soil and slate pavement.
Don't be too cool!
Now Ying Zheng and Chongzhen only care about one question, what about the cost of this cement?
"Don't worry, listen to me slowly!" Ye Yu took a sip from the teacup to moisten his throat, and continued: "This thing looks complicated, but it's actually made of stones and sand.
"When you go back, you mix lime and clay in a three-to-one ratio, and then burn it to maturity in a crypt."
"""After taking out the dry clinker, use the ox, horse and mule to pull the grinding disc to grind it into powder, which becomes the most primitive cement.
"When using, mix cement, gravel and sand together, which can be used to pave roads and build houses. It only takes two or three days to solidify and form. Of course, if it is paving, it will take seven days after paving. During the solidification, sprinkle water on it from time to time to prevent cracking.
"That's it?"
Ying Zheng and Chongzhen looked at each other in surprise.
Seeing that the cement was so hard before, the two thought that the production cost of this thing would be so high, but did not expect it to be this?
Lime and clay, it's all over the place, it's worthless!
"So, this thing is beneficial to the country and the people. It is very beneficial to build it as soon as possible!" Ye Yu rolled his eyes and said, "Have you written down the specific steps, don't make mistakes when you go back."
"Take it down, take it down, thank you sir for your pointer!"
(Wang Liao Zhao)
Ying Zheng and Chongzhen nodded excitedly.
This thing is really great for Daqin Daming!
Although it is not as good as guns and cannons, it is more important than guns and guns for the infrastructure of a country!
At this time, Ying Zheng had already imagined that after the expressway was fully popularized, he would patrol all over the territory of the Qin Empire.
Chongzhen is also very excited. Although Daming is currently unable to build a highway due to the chaotic situation in the country, he can build a few palaces to play with!
Anyway, the cost of cement is very low, and it is much more cost-effective to make palaces than slate!
"After the widow went back, immediately let people start cement production, and recruit 100,000 corvée, and strive to make this expressway unobstructed in all directions in our Daqin and Daqin as soon as possible, and let all roads lead to Xianyang!" 966
Ying Zheng laughed excitedly and looked forward to the future with great ambition.
