Of course, craftsmen can't compare with students' spring outings.

They can't get in a car, they have to walk the whole way, and they have to carry heavy luggage.

Relatively better, one is that it is late autumn and the weather is not too hot, and the other is that they are allowed to take the official road.

The official road was built by the imperial court, and it was mainly used by officials, post officers, etc. in the process of official business, and it was difficult for ordinary people, especially craftsmen with relatively low status, to have the opportunity to walk.

Therefore, when these young people were taken to the official road at the beginning, they all had a new look on their faces, and they also felt a little cautious and tentative.

On the contrary, those old craftsmen behaved more calmly, turning their heads to look at the group of young people, and there was still some teasing on their faces.

"It's so flat! It's so wide! It's still so long!" Tian Jifengqiang suppressed the excitement in his heart, looked left and right, and kept telling Xu Wen.

When Xu Wen first arrived here, he heard such words, and he might not be able to understand Tian Jifeng's excitement.

This official road is paved with earth, and it is smooth, but if there are cars driving by, the sky is full of loess, and it is certainly not comparable with modern asphalt roads or cement roads.

Measured left and right, it can accommodate two carriages passing side by side, which is equivalent to a two-lane road, which is inferior to the main road of a modern county, not to mention the spacious avenues of first-tier cities.

But now that Xu Wen has lived here for two years and has studied a lot of related things in modern times, his thinking has gradually changed.

This kind of thing, you can't directly compare modern things with ancient things, but look at it in the whole environment.

There are no powerful energy sources and steel monsters in this world, everything depends on human flesh and simple mechanical tools.

For a long time, human beings have relied on such meager power to change the world.

This official road, which has only two lanes, is paved by countless craftsmen and men with handfuls of soil and land.

Prior to this, there were also the planning and design of roads, the investigation and analysis of road conditions, and various difficulties in the process of road construction......

It is not easy to build such a path, it is the fusion of the wisdom and strength of countless people, and it is the crystallization of current human creativity. The technology of road construction in later generations did not appear out of thin air, but made little progress in such exploration and exploration, adding new machinery and tools, becoming more and more mature and complete.

Xu Wen stepped on the yellow earth under his feet and looked around.

The wind swept through the branches of the plane trees on both sides, lifting Xu Wen's hair and clothes, and bringing the whispers of young people.

They looked at the road in front of them with surprise, a little admiration, a little yearning.

But in fact, in the near future, they will also be part of the construction of a large and medium-sized project.

He asked, how wonderful it feels for a modern person to be able to see these things with his own eyes and join in them......

At this time, this simple loess road continues to stretch forward, and halfway through it suddenly turns a familiar dark gray, which is the color of concrete pouring. At the same time, the road surface has become wider, and there are various different colors of driving signs......

Two different pavements are intertwined, and two different worlds mix here.

Xu Wen knew that this was just an illusion, but this feeling was so amazing, he looked at it from afar and realized it in his heart.

More than 300 people stepped on the loess road and pulled over to line up to walk. At first, these novice craftsmen were still very novel, but as they walked, the expressions on their faces gradually stiffened, and they only buried their heads in walking, and they could not distract from the scenery around them.

Lin Luo is in the east of the Yangtze River, and he has to travel through almost the entire Great Zhou to the Ximo station, and the one-month trip is actually very intense.

Of course, the craftsmen and officials did not let the young people take a leisurely walk, and almost as soon as they reached the official road, they began to march quickly.

These rookie craftsmen actually have a good physique, but the upper body is mainly exercised every day, and such a long-distance and rapid march is a little unbearable after a long time.

The most critical question is one more......

Most of them wear straw sandals or cloth shoes, and the quality is relatively average, and they have not experienced many such tests. By the afternoon, one man's straw shoe strap had broken. The team wouldn't stop because he was alone, he hurried up, found something to tie his shoes to his feet, and walked very staggeringly, but finally he didn't fall behind.

Fortunately, it was not long before it was dark at this time, and after walking for about half an hour, the shadow of the house appeared faintly on the side of the road in front of me, and it was already at the post station.

"Stop. The craftsman in front of him gave an order, and Xu Wen heard a sigh of relief one after another around him.

Carrying dozens of pounds of heavy objects, rushing to the sun from the morning to the sun, it is a person who will feel tired.

Xu Wen was also a little tired, but he felt fine, and now he was strange about another thing.

With so many people and so many rooms in the inn, can you sleep?

Obviously, of course, I can't sleep.

The craftsman stopped outside the post station, turned around, and looked around: "I'll stop here today, and I'll leave tomorrow morning." Tonight you sleep there, it's still the old rule, stay in the camp honestly, don't run around. If you can't see anyone on the night patrol, you can do it yourself. ”

He said a few words lightly, and then took the other craftsmen into the post station, leaving these hundreds of people alone.

The young craftsmen looked at each other, not knowing what to do next, and the old craftsmen had already turned around and walked into the camp that the craftsman had pointed out to them just now.

It was a wooded area behind the inn, which ran from the roadside in front of it, and was particularly dense in this area.

Xu Wen saw their movements and followed without hesitation, and the other companions subconsciously followed as if they had heard the command.

When the old craftsmen arrived in the forest, they began to cut down trees, which made Xu Wen feel a little weird.

In modern times, they have always received education in planting trees and forest protection, and now these people do not hesitate to "cut down indiscriminately", which is really a little unaccustomed.

However, in fact, the resource utilization rate of the two worlds is far from each other, and it cannot be said together.

The craftsmen must have no problem doing their work, the woodcutters were basically their instinct, and almost in an instant, the woods were carved out of clearings, and small and simple huts were built, which were not beautiful, and it was enough to stay in the wind and rain for a night.

The newlyweds quickly set up their sheds. Of course, this kind of shed can't be a single room, five or six people, even if they didn't know each other before, at least they all know the name all the way down.

Xu Wen was not with Xu San and Jiang Wangfeng, but was pulled by Tian Jifeng to meet two people who were also from the 12th battalion of the 3rd District, and built a shed that could live for four people.

Coincidentally, one of the four people happened to have the straw sandal strap broken.

After the shed was set up, the man named Sun Laosi immediately sat down, held his feet and began to sigh: "My feet have become like this one day, what should I do later?"

Xu Wen picked up his shoes and took a look, straw sandals, the quality was very poor, no wonder they broke so quickly. The most important thing is that everyone will have to walk for a month, and no one will lend him more shoes.

"Let's make a pair out of wood. Xu Wen pondered for a moment and said.

"Wooden shoes?" several people looked at each other, a little incomprehensible, "With such a hard bottom, can you walk?"
