Chapter 139: Building a Road
"This is Qiongshan County?"
Looking at the scene in front of them, several people looked at each other, and in a trance they thought they were in the wrong place. As soon as you get off the boat and step on the dock, all kinds of people are flooded with people, which looks like no one in the past.
"Those who join the army come here, report their household registration names, and naturally someone will pick them up. Whether you can get by or not, you have a bowl of rice to eat, and if you don't come, you won't come in vain. This brother, seeing that you have a strange skeleton and a strong martial arts, it is better to serve the court, and you are also a good background? ”
"Is there anyone who has to do work, daily settlement, hear clearly, settlement! Seeing that there is no white flowery rice, after two days of cooking, the family will have all the food. Wu Na man, I didn't join the army, right, don't worry, we don't need skills here, just have the strength to do it, try it? Holo. ”
The shouts came and went, and the whole wharf was like a vegetable market, making a lot of noise, and a few people who had just gotten off the boat were dragged by people, and they almost couldn't get out. I finally ran out as if I was escaping, and hurriedly prepared to go on the road, but found that there was no way ahead.
"I'm sorry, the government is building roads, if you want to go over, please detour, don't walk on the construction site, it's not a trick to hit it."
A servant politely blocked them, stretched out his hand to the side and pointed to the side, and the leader stretched out his head to see that work was indeed underway ahead. Countless heads crowded there, wielding pickaxes and shovels to dig through the otherwise paved road, what kind of trouble is this?
Helpless, they can only obey the order to detour, from the roadside of the field stalk path through, all the way to watch, these road builders have nearby villagers, there are also people with their heads wrapped, the strange thing is that one by one is sweating profusely, but they are all smiling, when did the envoy also make such a happy?
It was only then that they discovered that from the county seat to the dock and then along the coast in front, such a big battle, how should it have been known in all directions in the past, and now it was carried out so quietly, and counting the days, it was clearly started recently.
What's more, there are Yi people among them, which is also extremely unusual, although the two ethnic groups usually do not interfere with the river water, and often exchange goods, but the relationship is definitely not harmonious. What they saw in front of them really subverted their cognition, and they could talk and laugh when they were mixed together, so that they couldn't believe their eyes.
"Steward, look!"
Walking on the narrow path, he would step into the mud if he was not careful, and the man at the head had never walked such a road, and had to carefully watch the road with his trouser legs, and suddenly heard someone shouting in front of him, and he raised his head in surprise.
"That is our field?"
The leader was a little incredulous, because a high courtyard wall had suddenly been erected in front of him, which seemed very abrupt in the encirclement of fields on all sides, and judging by the distance and direction, it should be their destination.
"I guess yes, I don't know how many people have been circled, such a large territory, is it for the garrison?"
A few people circled around the wall, but they didn't reach the end for a long time, and finally came to the exit, only to see the sergeants with swords guarding the front, coldly not allowing them to approach.
Standing at a distance and looking, there are people driving ox carts back and forth at the exit from time to time, and the empty carts are full of square out, what is it transporting? It was covered by a cloth and could not be seen clearly, but since it was protected by a sergeant, how could it be an idle thing.
"Steward, what are we going to do now?" Seeing this situation, it is impossible to find someone to talk, a guy asked in a daze.
"Let's go into the city first, if the house in the city is safe, go to the county government to find Tian County, so that the villagers have a good time, and I have done it on weekdays, so I can always think of a way."
The person at the head also had no idea, if this road didn't work, then he could only turn around, this Qiongshan County became so strange, he was afraid of strangeness, and he didn't want to stay for a moment.
At this moment, a loud sound came from the wall, like the roar of a wild beast, and in broad daylight they were all in their hearts, and they quickly quickened their pace, lowered their heads and walked in the direction of the city gate.
"Lao Shi, tell them to be careful, don't break the bag."
Liu Yu got out of the seat of the truck and gave an instruct to Shi Zhong, who came forward, the car was full of cement in paper bags, and it was easy to break if you were not careful. When the latter heard this, he hurriedly repeated his words, which made the men who unloaded the truck cautious, for fear of using too much force.
"This is the 'cement' of the Rausch? Good guy, I'm afraid there are not a few thousand pounds. ”
Shi Zhong looked at the carriage exaggeratedly and said, Liu Yu smiled and didn't answer his words, what is this, the amount of paving a road is too large, not to mention building a wharf and building a house.
"What about your appeasement?" I don't know when it started, the one who was guarding the construction site became Shi Zhong, and Jiang Cai didn't even do anything to greet him now, and he didn't know what he was busy with.
"In the big camp, the newly recruited people are not used, he is a little angry, and this is not practiced himself." Shi Zhong shook his head and said, Jiang Cai's requirements are too high, almost no one can get into his eyes, and even the old brothers in the camp are also stunned, but what's the use of urgency, not all soldiers are trained.
"How many people are being recruited now?" Liu Yu handed him a cigarette, and then pulled out a travel bag from under the seat in the carriage, Shi Zhong of course knew what it contained, and thanked him happily.
"Let's touch the three commanders, they are all people who can't eat, who is willing to come from a good family."
Not only is the number of people insufficient, but even the source of soldiers is not as good as Huaidi, of course, this is no way, Liu Yu is helpless, those who are willing to be soldiers can't survive, such as refugees in the war, but where are so many fugitives now?
"In this case, you might as well relax a little, and the words don't need to be pierced, just use them for utility."
Another important reason why good people are reluctant to become soldiers is tattooing, although tattoos are popular in the Great Song Dynasty, who wants to tattoo a line of words on their faces? Scars are cooler than that.
"Okay, I'll go back and say to Zhaofu, this is the last trip for the waiter, right?"
"Well, go to the city and help someone find a room so that he can rest."
Although he didn't carry it by himself, the back and forth of this car also made him tired enough, Liu Yu now just wants to take a shower and sleep well, the cement ash on his body is too uncomfortable.
"Why do you still need to find it, Fu Sihou asked Erniang to clean up a room, no trouble, don't be in a hurry to rest, taste the food she cooks, serve a good firewood, not worse than the restaurant."
"If you have something, just say it."
Liu Yu was a little surprised by his hospitality, hadn't the cigarettes already been thrown to him?
"It's about this cement, and yesterday the craftsmen got a piece out according to your will. I went to see it today, and it became harder, but there are still footprints on it, and everyone doesn't know whether it has been successful or not, and I want you to take a look again. ”
I see, although I can't make it, the use of this cement is not difficult, it is nothing more than a matter of proportion. In later generations, someone calculated it, and asked the old craftsman to follow the tune, first get a piece of experiment, and then promote it, Liu Yu also wanted to see how they were doing, so he readily agreed.
Coming to a hollowed-out roadbed, a group of people were pointing around, and Shi Zhong went up to shout and drive the crowd away. They were surrounded by a dark brown piece of ground, square-shaped like a piece of tofu, barricaded with wooden planks on all sides.
Liu Yu walked over and took a look, his face was very smooth, with some footprints, and there were no obvious cracks. As for whether it meets the standards of later generations, of course he doesn't know, but the appearance is already good, anyway, there won't be a lot of cars on this road, so it shouldn't be a big problem.
"Tear down the planks." Pointing to the edge of the hard ground, Liu Yu said loudly.
With his order, the surrounding planks were removed, and the underlying structure could be clearly understood, and it looked very dense. Liu Yu pretended to nod, and the craftsmen each glanced at each other, all showing joy.
"It's not dry yet, so you have to be careful to water it every few hours, otherwise it will crack. In another ten days, the earth will be completely dry, and then it will be as hard as a rock, and it will be considered successful. ”
"Listen carefully, write them all down, each be responsible for a piece, just do it as before, and get started."
Shi Zhong waved his hand to disperse them, these people are like seeds, they will be divided into each section, Liu Yu is still very relieved about their attitude towards things. For example, the land in front of them was weighed out little by little with scales, and stirred after strict proportioning, coupled with strict military law constraints, it was impossible to produce a tofu slag project.
This is only a small part of it, and the first concrete road on the plane will not be completed until the entire road is filled with such small pieces, and it will be repaired quickly as long as there are enough people.
Looking at this small piece, Shi Zhong couldn't help but feel its magic, he saw with his own eyes, a group of people just put some mud-like things in it, and the next day it became such a hard block, and according to Liu Yu, it will be as hard as a stone in the end, isn't this a trick?
He couldn't imagine that a road that long would be full of such hard lumps, and in that case, he would not be afraid of muddy roads even on rainy days, and the military significance would be extraordinary.
His feeling is like a smoke ring coming out of his mouth, I don't know when, it will become a reality, like a dream, and this qiē is all brought by the young literati around him.
"Let's go, take someone into the city, and try the good craftsmanship of Erniang you said, damn it, I'm really hungry."
Liu Yu stood up and patted the dust on his hands and said, he, a half-baked expert, can only guide so much. Fortunately, there is no lack of ingenuity among the craftsmen in this time and space, once the method is explained thoroughly, it is very easy to do the work, but it saves him a lot of trouble, and it is more important to find historical celebrities to drink and eat.
