"The court has money, and it's really easy to use." Li Chengqi couldn't help but sigh with emotion, building roads and water networks.

"Big brother, I paid for the road construction." Li Yi emphasized that the road from Luoyang to Chang'an was paid by him.

"Haha! Brother Yi, for the brother is talking about the road in Lantian County. Li Chengqi remembered that it was indeed not from the imperial court.

"The road in Lantian County, before the imperial court built it, it was repaired by our mine, and the things on the mine needed to be taken by land, so they were simply repaired."

Li Yi once again emphasized that there should be no confusion.

"Brother Yi, speaking of the road in Lantian County, it is indeed not as good as other places, and after connecting to the galloping road, it will not affect the speed at all."

Li Chengqi had no choice but to change the topic again and praise the road in Lantian County.

Because there are many stones in Lantian County, the stone road is built and pressed with big stones.

When it rains, water seeps down, and there is a ditch next to it.

The cart pulling the stone would not sink when walking on it, and the people were very happy.

The same conditions are not available in ordinary places, and of course there are no heavy cars passing by.

Now there is no toll, Li Yi and the businessmen are mining in a mine, and the road is not easy to walk and delay things, so they can only repair it themselves.

Otherwise, the imperial court had not taken care of it at that time, and the people in the county would not have been able to pay this money.

"Yes!" Li Yi didn't want to say more, how could it be bad to be able to walk the road of pulling a stone cart.

"However, the road from Lantian County to Zhuangzi is still a gravel dirt road, but it is relatively strong. It would be nice to switch to an all-gravel road. ”

Li Chengqi found the problem, the road from Luoyang to Lantian County is good, and the cement is galloping.

The roads in Lantian County are also good, completely gravel roads.

The road from Lantian County to Lijiazhuangzi is a normal mixed road, without cement and so many stones.

Li Zhuangzi to the city gate is a cement road, on both sides of the dirt road, the car walking on the fastest speed, the disadvantage is the waste horseshoe.

Li Yi looked at the direction of Lantian County: "In a few days, we will free up manpower and build a good road from Lantian County to Zhuangzi, mainly because of the problem of oil." ”

"Oil has been sent to you Zhuangzi, and it has become gasoline, diesel, and paraffin that has not been stocked up."

"Also, there is asphalt, and I'm saving asphalt to plant winter wheat after they finish the autumn harvest and build the road.

The asphalt road is specially built on an asphalt road that is six feet wide and can be run by a horse-drawn carriage.

When two cars meet, one goes to the side first, and then goes up when the other passes. ”

"Brother Yi, the ground is hard to build roads in winter."

"It's not winter, and it will be cold when the asphalt is paved in the end, so I use the pouring method, which heats up the asphalt and pours it up, and then it has to be leveled, and it can't be done when it's hot."

Li Yi said helplessly.

He couldn't get the road equipment he had at that time, the asphalt was a mixture, it was fast, and a group of people followed behind the car.

The car walked over, poured the asphalt, manually sorted the edges, and got on the roller behind it.

The pouring type is generally used on top of the bridge, but there are also other things.

The asphalt road that Li Yi wants to build is the most primitive, and it is better to pour asphalt when it is cold.

"Asphalt roads are better than concrete roads?" Li Chengqi has never seen asphalt roads.

"The asphalt road is not good now, and you need to water it when it is too hot in the summer, otherwise it will become soft and sticky to your feet.

In fact, asphalt is good for defending the city, and there is no need to boil anything else on the city wall, just boil asphalt and pour it down.

When the asphalt touches people's skin, people will be burned, and the key is that the asphalt sticks to the body and is not easy to get down. ”

In fact, Li Yi had no way to deal with the asphalt in the petroleum smelting process, so he had to use it to build roads.

Use asphalt as firewood to burn, the smoke is too strong.

Just like the houses in the northern countryside in the past, the kang of the pan has more ash and affects the passage of heat.

At this time, the linoleum paper was put in the stove and lit, and the fire was very fierce, and some directly put the kang up and wrapped it.

"Huh? That's right, you can make linoleum paper, waterproof, people's houses leak, urgently lay linoleum paper. ”

Li Yi shouted, and he found another use for asphalt.

The process of making paper from messy rags and unusable animal hair is simpler than that of newspapers.

Then throw it into the asphalt and soak it, take it out and press it, and the linoleum paper will come out.

"Big brother, there is a new business, making linoleum paper and selling it to the imperial court cheaply." Li Yi thought of the object of the transaction, the imperial court.

"What's it for?" Li Chengqi found that his knowledge reserve was low again, and he was actually higher in front of Li Yi.

"Instead of oilcloth, don't all localities build sheds to provide water to the people in summer, and what to do with the sheds when they encounter heavy rain?"

"Shed? Use straw mats and bamboo mats to keep the rainwater out, and it will become moldy and permeable after a long time. ”

"That's right, it's different when you use linoleum paper, a thin layer is spread on it, and it's okay to pour it in the rain, you use a bucket to pour water on it, and it still doesn't leak."

Li Yi discovered the New World now, and the biggest role of asphalt at that time was to build roads and waterproofing.

Now Datang's house needs to be waterproofed more, what is the tile used for? Piece by piece, waterproof.

"Big brother, not only to sell to the imperial court, but also to the people to buy and sell. Of course, this thing is not fireproof.

For example, a large square wooden box, the kind placed on the car, if you want to hold water, you must deal with the gaps.

It's simple to use linoleum paper, spread it inside, and bake it with fire when you lay it, and the linoleum paper will stick together.

The oiled paper in the bamboo cans serves the same purpose. ”

Li Yi explained to Li Chengqi the advantages of linoleum paper, and the disadvantage is that it is easy to catch fire.

Li Chengqi followed up and said: "If you brush a layer of asphalt in the bamboo tube, can you directly fill it with canned food?" ”

Li Yi: "......"

"No, big brother, no, it will eat the dead, and the asphalt can't go into the mouth. The people who couldn't afford to buy tiles bought a linoleum paper shop and solved it. ”

Li Yi found something new for the benefit of the people and was in a good mood.

"Make a lot of money? Yidi, we don't pave asphalt roads, all made into linoleum paper, no matter how expensive it is, can it be more expensive than tiles?

At the same time, no matter how cheap it is, can it be cheaper than stone? Let's build a road of stones, and there will be enough stones. ”

Li Chengqi decided that there was no need to pour the road with asphalt.

"But I have too much asphalt in stockpile, big and big, like a mountain. There are also large quantities of gasoline, diesel and kerosene. ”

Li Yi is worried, he has not stopped the distillation of oil, and the crude oil mined in the open pit has been continuously transported.

Even if the process is poor, it can't stand a large amount.

"It's all made into linoleum paper, you have to save the gasoline and diesel, don't blow it up, let them not bring oil first."

Lee knows the power of gasoline.

"There are not enough people, big brother should find people." Li Yi thinks okay, don't send crude oil first, it's enough.

Then those asphalt do not build roads, special linoleum paper is made, and the road can be paved with stones.

"Brother Yi, such things should be shared with Your Majesty's profits." Li Chengqi reminded.

"Yes, but to Your Majesty, it is my benefit of one percent? The kind you don't dare to spend? Li Yi asked first.

"Your Majesty provides you with a venue, occupy ...... How about a 20% profit? Li Chengqi also didn't want the third brother to always take advantage.

Doesn't Brother Yi need money? The salt wells are about to spread out, enough to feed the army.

"Cheng, I'll write a letter to Your Majesty, the whole gravel road here is on the horse, let's make linoleum paper." Li Yi agreed.
