Chapter 395: Liang Xinming's thoroughfare

It is not possible to open the canyon passage, and it is not possible to split a mountain in half, and it is not enough to have the spirit of Yugong to move mountains, which is too labor-intensive and material.

After weighing it repeatedly, Liang Xinming decided to take the conservative route - Xiupan Mountain Road, although the road was far and extended, it was safe and reliable.

She made a simple budget for these options, explained the problem with data, and supplemented it with drawings to explain the advantages and disadvantages of each plan to everyone intuitively. She personally analyzed it for everyone and proved that repairing mountain roads is not more difficult and expensive than building tunnels and opening canyon passages, but safety is the first priority.

When everyone heard this, they were all convinced.

Mr. Wu said: "The villain agrees with the adult's decision. ”

All the craftsmen said, "Agree with your lordship's decision." ”

Liang Xinming smiled: "Then it's decided." ”

Tang Governor urged his grandson: "Write them all down!"

He listened to this, and he could refer to it when he went back.

After the road construction of Heigou Ridge is solved, it enters the next topic, after the summer, it is the rainy season, which has caused a lot of inconvenience to the construction, and there is also a worry about flooding.

Liang Xinming thought for a while, and then said decisively: "Start pouring the pavement tomorrow." The official will consult with the experienced village elders to make a timely forecast of the weather and arrange the progress of the project reasonably. For this project, she made all the necessary and sufficient preparations, and invited experienced and knowledgeable old people in Qianxian County and Lu'an Mansion to make a "forecast" on the weather, so as not to bring unnecessary losses to the project.

Everyone was overjoyed, and their eyes became eager to look at Liang Xinming.

They have heard Liang Xinming say "pouring the road" many times, and they didn't take it seriously at first, and after seeing Liang Xinming's ability, they were sure that she would not be untargeted, so they all hoped that she could surprise everyone and pour a mysterious pavement on this road.

Governor Tang hurriedly shouted: "The official will also be watered! The roadbed there has been repaired for dozens of miles, if you don't pour it, and you will be washed away by the torrential rain when you turn around, won't you give up all your efforts? Lord Liang, as long as you give an order, the old man will obey his orders!"

Liang Xinming said with a smile: "Don't worry, boss. This road should be centered on Chenqiao and poured in the direction of Lu'an and Qianxian respectively. Only when the road surface is poured is good that it is convenient for horse-drawn carriages to walk and materials can it be convenient to transport materials and materials, so that the project can continue to move forward. The old man might as well stay one more day and go back after seeing the watering road. ”

The cement plant was built in the mountains near Chenqiao, and the road was paved from here, and it was convenient to use cement, and when the road was paved and the materials were transported conveniently, the project was further away.

After the dispersal, Liang Xinming left the Tang prefect.

She discussed with the Tang prefect that a sum of money should be allocated for the project to buy grain and prevent floods. If there is a flood in Lu'an Province, the victims will be given relief through work, combining disaster relief and road repair, and if there is no flood, the grain can also be used to pay for the rations and wages of the hired workers, without delay.

Governor Tang hurriedly said: "This plan is very good, but you can take precautions." He said that when he went back, he arranged for people to go to Huzhou and other places to buy rice and grain to prepare for disasters.

He felt that working with Liang Xinming was full of energy, and he was busy until so late, he didn't feel tired at all, but he was excited, and he wished that the sky would dawn quickly and look good.

Liang Xinming saw that he had said it and asked him to rest.

She herself can't rest yet, and she has to deal with the decision to water the road tomorrow on the spot, and there is a lot of work to prepare, as well as the case of General Niu's extermination, why those hired workers of unknown origin have infiltrated the construction site, and so on.

She and Zhao Ziyi arranged overnight.

Yao Chu had just fallen asleep, and was dragged up by Liang Jinyun and brought to Liang Xinming.

Liang Xinming said to him: "This official has something to send you to do." Zhao Huwei and Liang Jinyun have always followed their officials, and if they suddenly disappear, it is easy to make people suspicious. You are sent by your teacher, and if you pretend to return to Beijing tomorrow, others will not suspect it. ”

Yao Chu hurriedly said, "My lord, just command." Our uncle sent his subordinates to Huizhou to help the adults. All subordinates obey the orders of the adults. ”

Liang Xinming nodded, and explained his words like this.

Yao Chu took the order and went down.

After all the arrangements were made, the oriental sky was already shining, Liang Xinming only washed his face, squinted on the bed in the study for a while, and then got up again.

After breakfast, Yao Chu took people to say goodbye and returned to Beijing, and Liang Xinming sent them outside the gate and watched the group disappear in the shade of the elm willow tree before returning.

In the morning, on the construction site outside Chenqiao Town.

Liang Xinming and the Tang prefect, subordinate officials, and various engineering personnel gathered, and the cement was delivered, and Liang Xinming personally shoveled out the first shovel of cement, poured it on a pile of fine sand, mixed and stirred, and then handed the shovel to the migrant workers next to him.

Next, countless pairs of eyes watched as the men mixed the gray powder and fine sand in a certain proportion, added water and stirred evenly, and the mixed concrete was taken away in buckets, spread on the mated roadbed, and then bulldozed with rollers.

At first, everyone watched and said nothing.

Because I don't understand, I don't know how to evaluate it.

This road is three zhang wide, about ten meters, the road surface is relatively rough, Liang Xinming wants to pave this layer first to try the reaction of all parties, and then pave another layer to improve the specifications of this road, and move closer to the secondary road standard in her previous life.

Even if it's crude, it's enough to make a splash.

As the road progressed, the first place hardened, and the crowd was shocked. Governor Tang lay on the ground, stroked the road with both hands, and trembled: "It's hard, it's hard!" patted it again, and muttered: "Aren't you afraid of blisters?"

Everyone else is also gossiping.

Li Jing and Bai Ying were sent by Wang Ji to help Liang Xinming, they were originally working in the Ministry of Industry, and they had some talents, but in the face of Mr. Wu and other folk craftsmen, they felt that they were a little higher, and it was inevitable that their eyes would grow to the top of their heads, but they still respected Liang Xinming.

Liang Xinming has also been very polite to them.

At this time, the two people watched the cement repeatedly; after watching it, they stared at the migrant workers mixing cement and sand, paying attention to what proportion they mixed it into; then they went to observe the migrant workers using shovels and plastering boards to spread and smooth the road surface; for a while, they went to the first paved road to take a look, stepped on it with their feet, tested the hardness, commented on the length of time it solidified for a while, and what solidified because of it, and finally looked back at the cement.

Li Jing twisted some cement powder with his hand, put it in the palm of his left hand, stared at it repeatedly, and even twisted a little and put it in his mouth, smacking his mouth twice.

Bai Ying stared at him and seemed to ask "how does it taste".

Liang Xinming saw this and laughed silently.

In the face of this situation, she did not make a complacent and arrogant performance, everyone came to ask, and she tried her best to explain, but she was vague and unwilling to say anything about the cement formula and firing process. This is a secret and must not be divulged.

When she behaved like this, everyone stopped asking.

Li Jing and Bai Ying understood that this thing, whether it was for military or civilian use, was very useful, and of course it could not be divulged and did not ask about it; Mr. Wu and other craftsmen followed the rules and did not covet other people's secret recipes; and the rest did not dare to inquire.

Liang Xinming saw many people near the construction site, pointing at the newly paved cement road and talking loudly, looking excited and very emotional.

********

On the last day, the monthly ticket doubled, and the road was paved to catch up with Lord Liang, what are you hesitating about, vote for Lord Liang!
