Chapter 800

"Buy, buy, buy! All the lime, clay, sand, stone, and any wisps of mine, buy them all for me and send them over! We will give him as many people as he wants! We will give him as much as he wants! We must let Wang Chong and the Wang family owe us a favor. ”

In a small family in the west of the city, the head of the family who is over forty years old roars like thunder.

"What? Risk? Are you still afraid that the dignified Wang family can't afford to pay back the money? Not to mention anything else, think about how much those Uzi steel swords are now, but now you can't buy them with money, are you still afraid that you can't pay back the money?"

In the largest Shenyuan Sword Tower in the east of the city, the owner of the building, Zhao Jinling, splashed his saliva, squirting the blood of several opposing elders in the sword tower, and the wolves rushed to the pigs, and the faces of the elders were red, and they fled with their faces.

"Go and go, pull all the manpower that can be mobilized in our family for me, and those bastards born from the third and fourth elders will give me idleness all day long, and send them all out for me! Do you know that the Zhou family in the west of the city, nine out of ten elders have been sent out, lest they fall behind. People can even send out elders, what are we waiting for! Those who strike first eat meat, and those who strike later eat!"

The Huang family in the north of the city, the head of the family, Huang Sha, has always been short-tempered, and this time the angry voice even lifted the roof of the entire mansion into the air, and everyone was sincerely frightened and flew away.

The Zhao family, the Bai family, the Guo family, the Chai family, etc., these ancient families of the Tang Dynasty also sent their masters one after another, and all the forces mobilized because of the letter that Wang Chong sent to Zhao Jingdian from Wusheng.

When all these families gather together and operate like a huge machine, the energy is extremely amazing.

All the lime, clay, sand, stone, and wisps of ore, like a rolling torrent, gathered from all directions and transported to the hands of Zhao Jingdian, the capital. It's just a small order, and Zhao Jingdian's hands have gathered at least 100,000 craftsmen.

I'm afraid that Wang Chong didn't do this when he built the Steel City in Wushen.

- Compared with the deserted and uninhabited black wounds, the capital is too convenient.

......

Three days later, at the beginning of the capital's path to the Western Regions, Zhao Jingdian was dressed in a dress, and countless masters sent by the family gathered around him.

The plan has begun, and everyone is looking forward to this "concrete road" that they have never heard of, and they all want to see what is real and false in it.

"Ready!"

Zhao Jingdian's expression was solemn, and he gave an order, and the next moment, hundreds of craftsmen gathered on both sides of the road, according to the time that they had practiced countless times in advance, first put lime, clay, and wisps of ore, and then poured in sand and stones, quickly according to the proportion and water, and then stirred.

Under the strange gaze of countless people, these craftsmen first paved the long road with a thick layer of mixed "mud", added a layer of gravel and stones, then a thick steel bar surrounded by iron wire, and then the last layer of mud.

Waiting for all this to end, there was immediately an asphalt-colored mud road more than ten inches high in front of everyone.

"That's it?"

A child of the Zhang family in the capital looked at this scene with a stunned face. He has heard about the "cement road" countless times, and he has everything to say about this "cement road".

Some say that the road can breathe fire at night, some say that the road is wheeled and can be moved around, and some say that the road is made of gold and silver, and at night it will shine.

It's just that no one thought that this time-consuming and labor-intensive "cement road" that attracted countless families in the capital to follow the wind was so ordinary.

- It's as simple as pasting a few layers of cyan mud and then putting two steel bars!

It is really disappointing to waste such a big expectation and so much energy from all the families, and to get such a thing in the end.

"Haha, of course it's not over yet. If any of you want to quit, it's still too late. Our son has long said that we will not stop anyone who wants to quit. All the money you have invested in it, we can return you in full. ”

Zhao Jingdian laughed.

In an instant, there was a dead silence all around, and the masters of various families who were still full of dissatisfaction were as if their mouths had been sewn shut, and they closed tightly, refusing to say a word again. Just kidding, whether it's lime, clay, wisps of ore, sand, or stone, that's the cheapest thing, it's like taking countless manpower and material resources to expand this number tenfold, that's also a "small amount of money".

To be able to spend such a small amount of money to build a relationship with the Wang family, there is nothing more cost-effective in the world. As for these muds, hmph, even if it's all soil, what does it matter if all of it can't be used, which family with a little bit of background will care about this. Just pay for a ticket.

Moreover, although I didn't feel it at the beginning, when a thing, no matter what it was, as long as thousands of families were involved, it became a major existence that all families could not ignore. It doesn't matter what they gathered for in the first place.

Whoever withdraws at this time will be the enemy of the crowd and will be excluded from the various families. It's nothing in the short term, but in the long run, this family has always been excluded from various families, and I'm afraid it will decline. Conversely, if all the Maisons are huddled together, then in the future, each Maison will benefit from it.

This is why the Zhao family and the Bai family in the capital, even if they knew that Wang Chong had taken their money to build the road, but in the end, they still had to intervene. Other families rely on the Zhao family and the Bai family, and the Bai family and the Zhao family can also borrow the strength of other small families to achieve greater development, and at the same time, they can also increase the influence of the Zhao family and the Bai family in various families.

"Why should Lord Zhao be serious, I'm just kidding. ”

"Yes, yes. It's just talking, how can we really retreat!"

"The young man has no last resort, and there must be a reason for what he decides. How could we doubt Master Hou. ”

"Lord Zhao is angry, just now I lost my words, I lost my words, I accompanied the sin, I accompanied the sin...... This time we 'cement road', we double the gold and silver. ”

......

A group of people looked dumbfounded and hurriedly accompanied them. There are a few fast mouths, and they can't help but pump their mouths in their hearts. just wanted to be happy for a while, but it angered this Lord Zhao.

"Oh, even if it's a gaffe, then I shouldn't have heard of it. ”

Zhao Jingdian smiled indifferently and didn't bother with him. Wang Chong had already said that these actions would bring too many families and clans to gather, and there would be many people, so it would definitely be difficult to manage. With his generous character, he can be uncontrollable, so I hope he will be appropriately tough.

So far, it's not bad.

"Old Chen, let's start!"

Zhao Jingdian quickly turned around and gestured to an old foreman in his fifties, with a wrinkled face and an extremely experienced face. The next moment, a heavy layer of lime was spread on the newly built "mud road", quickly absorbing the water in the "mud road".

This is the method that these craftsmen have figured out, under normal circumstances, these mud roads need at least a few hours to harden, and the use of lime powder to pave the road surface afterwards can absorb the water inside and speed up the hardening process. After all, with so many big families, it is impossible to really wait here for so long and do nothing.

"That's it!"

Seeing the lime powder on it quickly wet, Zhao Jingdian waved his hand to stop everyone. The next moment, Zhao Jingdian stood at the front of the crowd with his hands in his hands, staring at the asphalt-colored mud road, motionless. His expression was calm, and the clouds were light and breezy.

Zhao Jingdian didn't speak, so the others were silent and didn't dare to say more. With the previous "rut in the past", everyone also knew that this young Lord Zhao was far from being as easy to deal with as he seemed on the surface.

Time passed slowly, and even with lime powder spreading to accelerate water absorption, this mud road was not so easy to dry. After about half an hour, the asphalt mud road finally turned white and hardened.

"That's it!"

Zhao Jingdian looked at the completely hardened mud road in front of him, and finally showed a smile in his eyes:

"Ladies and gentlemen, it took countless manpower, material resources, and financial resources to collect a large amount of lime, clay, minerals, sand, and stone, which are the cement roads that Hou Ye told you. ”

Looking at the blue and white road in front of him, Zhao Jingdian felt a strong sense of accomplishment in his heart. It took so long for the first cement road that Hou Ye said finally appeared.

"Buzz!"

On the other side, as soon as Zhao Jingdian's voice fell, the crowd immediately buzzed, and everyone turned their heads to each other. was different from what Zhao Jingdian expected, a pair of eyes looked at the blue and white road, although they didn't say it explicitly, but there was a look of doubt in their eyes.

"Lord Zhao, with all due respect. This mud road...... It's a cement road, the old man has been flowing all over the world all his life, and all kinds of things are considered to be too much, I really don't understand, what are the benefits of this cement road?"

A man of fifty or sixty years old with a gray beard came out of the crowd with hesitation:

"In addition, if it is just to build roads, it is the same effect to find some villagers and people, and use some pebbles and gravel. And I'm afraid that would be more economical, right?"

Zhao Jingdian glanced back, and at a glance recognized that this was Xie Gufeng, the elder of the Xie clan in the capital, and among the various families, he could be regarded as having some influence. As soon as Xie Gufeng opened his mouth, it really caused a chain reaction in the crowd, and a group of people were buzzing and began to talk in a whisper.

Although he didn't dare to do too much, Zhao Jingdian saw that many people nodded secretly, obviously thinking that what Xie Gufeng said was reasonable.

"Heh, Xie Lao asked a good question! Come on, bring something up!"

Zhao Jingdian smiled indifferently, as if he had expected this scene, and beckoned sharply into the distance. Soon, the wheels were turning, and two big horses, as handsome as dragons, pulled a strange huge carriage from outside. It is strange because, unlike ordinary carriages, this carriage does not have a roof, but a boxy, open-facing body, and the body is several times larger than that of ordinary carriages.

This type of body is rarely used in horse-drawn carriages. Not only that, but if you look closely, you will find that all the wooden rafters of this carriage are still of the true color of wood, and even the wood paint has not been applied, which means that this carriage has just been built.
