Li Yang rarely patiently gave answers to Li Hu one by one, for Li Yang, as long as Li Hu is willing to learn, he is willing to teach.

Li Hu nodded thoughtfully, and said slowly: "I see! ”

As he grew older, Li Hu also became more and more mature and steady, although his interest in literary affairs was still very limited, but his humble and studious attitude made Li Yang feel very gratified, both for Li Hu and for Li Yang, this is a good thing.

After Li Yang answered for Li Hu, he continued: "The matter of the medical department has been decided, and then let's talk about the road construction!" I want to emulate the Qin people, renovate the straight road, as the saying goes, if you want to get rich, build the road first, the road extending in all directions brings convenience to the people to travel, and can also greatly increase the trade between merchants, and the most important thing is that good road conditions will provide more efficient and convenient conditions for military operations such as marching and transporting grain, we want to build a road network extending in all directions between counties and townships! ”

Li Yang's voice lagged behind, and the study suddenly fell silent.

If it is said that the establishment of the Ministry of Medicine and the Department of Urban Construction, Fu Zhu and others feel that Li Yang's brain is very big, and he often has whimsical ideas, but when Li Yang proposed to renovate the straight road, what Fu Zhu and Tian Feng thought in their hearts was that Li Yang was a little whimsical.

In the eyes of Fu Zhu and others, Li Yang took it for granted when it came to repairing the straight road.

Youzhou has nearly 100 counties under its jurisdiction, the land is vast and sparsely populated, and the sparse population is the key, how can no one build roads? At that time, not to mention building roads between counties and towns, even if only one road is built between county seats, it will be an extremely difficult thing, and building highways (straight roads) and renovating streets in the city are completely different concepts.

You must know that the ancients built roads no better than modern times, and the ancients did not have any mechanical equipment to assist in road construction, so they could only rely on manpower, so talent is the most critical.

The ground of ancient buildings is rammed earth, that is, the soil is smashed, and some also use cooked soil, such as the Terracotta Warriors and Horses of Qin Shi Huang, all of which are fried with fire, so as to ensure the quality of the soil and not grow insects and grass.

But if you really do this, it will be too laborious, and how much manpower and material resources will it cost?

Frustrated with frowns, he was thinking about countermeasures at the moment, thinking about how to make Li Yang dispel such an unrealistic idea.

Although Fu Zhu admires Li Yang's talent very much, but the road construction is beyond the reach of manpower, although Li Yang's talent is outstanding, but Fu Zhu has never heard that he has the ability to scatter beans into soldiers.

The reason why this is the case is because Youzhou has almost abolished the hard labor, as the saying goes, it is easy to throw away and difficult to pick up, and the people of Youzhou, who have not served such a harsh labor for many years, will they be willing to do hard labor?

In ancient times, building cities and roads was not hard labor!

Li Yang saw all the expressions of the two in his eyes, Li Yang smiled slightly, and said: "After the volcanic ash is mixed with water, it is very strong, and it can be used as a choice for road repair.

When the farm is slack, you can mobilize the people of each city to participate in the construction of the road, then you only need to explain in the official document that the road repair is all voluntary, and the people who are willing to build the road for the imperial court, the court will pay the wages while managing the meal, and only need to work for five hours a day, which also includes half an hour of lunch break, and when the farm is slack, there is food to eat and money at the same time, so isn't it the best of both worlds? ”

After volcanic ash and water, there is a lot of strength, and this is the predecessor of cement.

With a look of disbelief, he asked, "Is this method feasible?" He asked about volcanic ash and water.

Li Yang nodded solemnly, and said firmly: "Feasible!" If you don't believe it, you can order someone to take the volcanic ash, and you will know when you try it! ”

Fu Zhu nodded noncommittally and said, "If it is really as the lord said, it will save a lot of manpower and material resources at that time!" While the people were paid, the forced labor was not harsh, and this practice really aroused the enthusiasm of the people! It works! ”

"There doesn't seem to be a volcano in Youzhou, where are we going to get volcanic ash?" Li Hu asked!

Li Yang shook his head helplessly, and said with a wry smile: "Xiaohu, are you a hundred thousand why?" Why are you always asking irrelevant questions! ”

Li Hu suddenly became humble and studious, which made Li Yang a little uncomfortable, and the most important thing is that Li Hu's focus is always different from others, he always thinks about some inconsequential things, which makes Li Yang feel very depressed.

"What is 100,000 and why?" Li Hu asked with a puzzled expression.

"Grass!"

Seeing this, Li Yang hurriedly closed his mouth, that's how he knows current affairs!

Tian Feng leaned into Li Hu's ear and reminded in a low voice: "The matter of volcanic ash is easy to handle, just order someone to collect it elsewhere!" Because it's not a big deal, it won't attract the attention of others! ”

Li Hu sneered embarrassedly and said, "Hey! But I think the simple things are complicated! ”

Li Yang smiled helplessly, ignored him, turned his head to look at Fu Yu and Tian Feng, and said, "Put the matter of road construction on the agenda as soon as possible!" After the project begins, you can order a special person to go to each prefecture to supervise the progress of the project, and at the same time, it can also play a certain deterrent role on the officials, so that the officials dare not stretch their hands too long! If an official dares to bend the law for bribes, once discovered, he will be severely punished! ”

Fu Zhu nodded in agreement, and added: "You can be ordered to send a special person to be in charge of the money and food, and at that time, whether it is the recruitment personnel, the number of workers, or the distribution of money and food, etc., will be recorded by the responsible personnel one by one, so that the imperial court can also be well documented!" ”

Tian Feng nodded and agreed: "That's very good!" ”

In the end, Li Yang made the decision and decided to renovate the straight road.

Seeing that the matter had been discussed, Fu Zhu and the others got up one after another to salute Li Yang and say goodbye.

Li Yang knew that everyone was busy, so he didn't do much to keep it.

It's night!

Professor Fu personally wrote it, compiled Li Yang's ideas into a book, and reported them to Li Yang overnight!

Li Yang only said a good word after reading it, and then made a comment on the official document: "The public and what is played is really a move for the benefit of the country and the people!" My heart is very relieved, there is no inaccuracy! The order has strict cooperation, and it is not allowed to violate the yang and yin, and the violators will be severely punished! ”

On the second day, the sky was bright!

Hundreds of civil and military officials went to the state pastoral mansion to discuss matters, and in front of the civil and military officials, they were instructed to present all matters such as the medical department, the urban construction department, and the renovation of straight roads.

Li Yang saw that the civil and military officials did not raise any objections to the proposal of the Fu Zhu, so he waved his hand and ordered Tian Feng and Zhang Ji to be fully responsible for all matters related to the medical department and other matters, while he himself did not expect to be the shopkeeper again.
