Chapter 516: Eighteen Bends in the Mountain Road
“…… In this case, let's go to their village and ask the village chief. ▲∴By the way, uncle, is there a highway in your village?" The old man said that the situation was not unexpected by Hong Tao, so he was not worried, but chatted with the old man about the living environment here.
"Where is the highway, if you walk five miles, this donkey cart will not be able to sit on it. The old man was very disdainful of Hong Tao's question.
"Then what about these things we bought?" Tan Jing was immediately anxious when she heard that she didn't even have a donkey cart.
"People pick it, there are people in the village, you people in the city will not lack these pick-up money, if you had told me earlier, I wouldn't have let you buy it, waste the money." The old man then despised Tan Jing again, in his opinion, these children from the city were simply losers.
The old man was right, this gravel road had gone for less than a kilometer, and it became a thinner and more rugged dirt road, and after a little more walking, it directly became a sheep's intestine path. Looking at the road hidden on the mountainside, Hong Tao's two legs are also a little sore, he has been a traveler for a few days in his last life, and he knows a little bit about this kind of mountain road, people who have not gone through long-term exercise will not be able to walk this road at all, a mountain has to climb for two hours, which is very hard.
Not far from the end of the dirt road, there was a small village, and the old man and the other three drivers unloaded all the contents of the cart and pulled the donkey cart into the village. They had to store the cart frame in the village of Zài, and then help Hong Tao and them hire a few porters, these four donkeys could carry a lot of things, but Hong Tao and they bought a little too much, and they did not consult the coachmen at that time. So the donkey can't carry so much.
Hong Tao doesn't care about hiring a few more porters, each person is ten yuan. He simply asked the old man who was driving the car to hire a few more, and then freed the donkey to rest of the cargo. Let's just pack people. According to the old man's words, there are still about 20 miles of mountain roads from Yangshugou Village, Hong Tao is not sure that his people can persevere, and it is very important to have a donkey to travel on his behalf when he is tired.
The porters here do not have a flat burden, and each of them carries a large bamboo basket, which is more than half a person high, and no matter what it is, they stuff it into the basket and carry it and go. Hong Tao and the six of them followed behind the porter. The old man led the four donkeys to the end, just like the kind of expedition in the movie, along the path that those beasts and people stepped on together, and got into the hinterland of Dabie Mountain.
When Hong Tao got off the car in that small village to change the porter, he looked at his watch, it was half past ten in the morning, and when they finally saw Yangshugou Village, it was already five o'clock in the afternoon, and they walked for six and a half hours. They hadn't walked that long, and at least three of those hours were resting. It's not that everyone rests together, but the porter and the handlebar type wait for Hong Tao and them to rest.
Among them, the most cowardly ones are Gao Jianhui and Wu Quan, and then the two engineers and technicians in Hong Tao and his aunt's company, and the most suitable for walking the mountain road is actually Tan Jing. When she took out a pair of travel shoes from her luggage and changed them into. It seems that she has become the daughter of the mountain in an instant, although she can't catch up with the footsteps of those porters and handlebars, but a guy like Hong Tao who thinks he has good physical fitness. You can throw a few hundred meters away in half an hour, and you can't see anyone at all.
"This girl is really good. You guys are too bad!" the old man who was driving the car smiled as he looked at Hong Tao, who grinned and every step was as difficult as climbing to the sky, and showed two big black teeth.
"Oops...... She grew up in the mountains. The highest peak we have ever seen is Xiangshan, this can be compared!" "Even if Hong Tao is tired, this mouth will not be idle, his legs and stomach are about to turn to the front, and he still has the kung fu to analyze with the old man why Tan Jing can walk the mountain road, but these young men can't.
"Hahaha, you should go home with me once, I'll show you what a real mountain is!" Tan Jing looked triumphantly at Hong Tao, whose legs were like noodles, and really smiled. In her memory, this seemed to be the first time that she had completely compared Hong Tao, and she had won his heart. At the beginning, in the gym of Lido, even dance, his own professional project, Hong Tao could follow the comparison of cats and tigers, and even split him, but today he was completely defeated by himself!
"Lao Yang, can you hire a backer here? When you come out, I won't leave by myself if you say anything!" Hong Tao sat on the trunk of a fallen tree, his throat and eyes seemed to be on fire, no matter how he gasped, his legs were still heavy like lead, and the soles of his feet were painful, and the taste was very uncomfortable.
"It's a price to carry people and things, you didn't say it earlier, I said I would hire a few more people for you, you feet, burn it with hot water tonight, otherwise you won't be able to get off the ground tomorrow." "The old man who drove the car is good, but he has a problem, that is, he can't predict the shape in advance, he should know that there are not many places on this road that can ride a donkey, most of them have to rely on two legs, but he just doesn't build a yì for Hong Tao in advance, as if he wants to see Hong Tao suffer from them.
"Brother Liu, have you also seen that this section of the mountain road can be built into a road open to traffic?" Hong Tao didn't pay attention to the old man, but turned his head and asked the technician in his uncle's unit, he had worked in the engineering corps before he was transferred to the general residence, and had repaired railways and tunnels, so he was familiar with this aspect.
"Repair can be repaired, it depends on what size of the team, if there is no large-scale equipment, you can only rely on manpower and explosives, this is a bit difficult, the progress is slow, I estimate that this section of the road will have to be repaired for at least two years, and there must be enough manpower. "Technician Liu came with the task of building the road, and he had carefully observed the terrain along the way, and probably came to a conclusion.
"What about the cost?" Hong Tao was also more concerned about another issue, after all, it was his own expense.
"If you want to just have a gravel road, three meters wide, I'm afraid it will cost about 70,000 yuan a kilometer, and if you want to lay asphalt roadside in the future, it will cost about 50,000 yuan per kilometer, mainly because the distance is too far, and you have to rely on manual labor and explosives, which is more troublesome. LiuGong gave an approximate price.
"It's less than thirty miles from the county seat here, and it's about five miles away, even if it's thirteen kilometers, less than a million?" Hong Tao counted with his fingers, this Nima is too cheap, if it is according to the budget of seven million, at least five such roads have to be built, and the project seems to be a bit too big.
"It can't be counted like this, we have crossed two rivers in the middle, you have to build a bridge, right? And the route of this road construction cannot be the same as the mountain road, and the mountain structure and strength have to be considered in the middle. Some places are not suitable for opening mountains, so you have to go around, I estimate that you can't beat it for 20 kilometers, plus a few simple cement bridges, it looks like almost 17.8 million. Liugong objected to Hongtao's budgeting method, and then recalculated it in his professional way, and finally gave a rough budget.
"It's still a bit cheap, why don't you build a five-meter-wide two-way three-lane road, and then pave it with asphal......t," Hong Tao felt that it was still a little short of the money he needed to spend, and began to expand the scale of the project wantonly, purely to make up the numbers.
"It's not as wide as you want, we can't blow up half of the mountain, and there are only two or three villages along the way, and there are not a hundred households together, so it's useless to have such a wide road!" Building roads in mountainous areas is not a good house, and what you want to build and what you want to repair has to be considered comprehensively. And he couldn't figure it out, why did Hong Tao come so far to build a road for a small village, but he couldn't ask this thing, who made him have to earn a salary, and the subsidy for this business trip was very high, several times that of usual, and he came and went in a sleeper, so he could only endure it.
"You said you want to build a road here!?" Hong Tao and Liu Gong these conversations, not a word was missed by the old man who drove the car in the ears, to say that this Beijing people have the biggest disadvantage, that is, what you say others can understand, but others speak the hometown dialect, most of the time you can't understand it! This is equivalent to being born with one less foreign language!
"Oh, there is this idea, this is Engineer Liu from the capital, he is here to see how this road is going to be repaired and how wide it is. "Now that he has been heard, Hong Tao doesn't plan to hide it, in fact, he doesn't plan to hide it at all, which is not a bad thing.
"Do you really want to build a road!?" the old man asked again, and took a step closer to Hong Tao, staring at Hong Tao, who was more than a head taller than him, with his face raised.
"It's really going to be repaired, but we only have money, no labor and no explosives, so we're discussing how much it should cost. Why don't you help us build a road from here to the county seat?" Hong Tao thought that this old man might also understand this thing, and there was nothing wrong with listening to it.
"The township has long talked about building roads, but it's been almost ten years, and not an inch of road has been repaired, so there's just no money. I don't know how to build roads, but our village chief must know a rough idea, why does this road have to start here, and more than five miles further on, it is our Yinling Village, so we can't start repairing it from Yinling? Ieyasu's baby's elementary school teacher is our Yinling!" The old man who drove the car no longer doubted Hong Tao's words, he didn't know what the way these weird-looking city people came from, but there was a glimmer of hope, he also had to fight for his village, and his brain was not slow at all, and he immediately felt that this matter was likely to be related to Qian Jiakang.
