Chapter 219: Nothing more
"What is the sir's plan?"
Liu Che looked at Tang Qi.
If you want to open up all the waterways in Dahan, it will naturally be a matter of labor and money.
The amount of time and manpower spent is not a small amount.
Even if Liu Che is confident, he has to consider the gains and losses.
If there was a better way, I would definitely choose it.
Tang Qi patiently explained: "If you want to promote the cement road, it can't be called a cement road, but a highway." ”
"And what is a highway?"
"I can't explain it in one sentence or two."
Tang Qi waved his hand.
The highway is a good thing.
Not to mention the carriage, once it is built, even the train can run.
Since the live broadcast system was able to draw lotteries, Tang Qi felt that he would be able to win the train and car sooner or later.
Start building the highway now.
In fact, it is to pave the way for the future.
Otherwise, you can't ride a horse to the end of the world, right?
Not only is it tiring, but it is also not very efficient.
Divide the highway into two lines, left and right.
It was wide enough for several carriages to go side by side.
And what's on the highway?
Naturally, it's a toll booth.
After the construction is completed, it will be possible to arrange for manpower to collect the maintenance fee and usage fee of the expressway.
In addition, it is also possible to formulate various modern rules, and once someone violates the law and runs in the wrong direction, then it can be justified to impose fines.
No matter how you look at it, it's a way to get rich.
"The highway is not only safe, but also very fast, much faster than the so-called Maxima."
As soon as Tang Qi's words came out, Liu Che and Wei Qing expressed their disbelief.
"Mr. Tang, what do you say? Is the highway really so powerful? ”
"Isn't it just a road, and it can speed up Maxima? Why do I sound so unbelieving? ”
Tang Qi was not in a hurry.
"You haven't touched the highway now, so you don't know the benefits of the highway anymore."
"When you see the highway later, you'll know its mysteries."
Liu Che took a deep breath: "According to what Mr. said, this highway is really better than the waterway and the spiritual canal?" In that case, can't the spiritual canal be built? ”
"Build still has to be built."
Tang Qi analyzed: "It's just that there is no need to open up all the waterways and spiritual canals in the world, not to mention anything else, Your Majesty has ever calculated, how far is it from south to north?" ”
Liu Che was stunned, he really didn't calculate this.
"Even if it is to be built, it will require very terrifying manpower and material resources, and the gains outweigh the losses."
Tang Qi thought for a while, and still added: "The time required is even more outrageous, at least in Your Majesty's lifetime, there will definitely be no way to do it." ”
"In the past, when we mobilized materials, some of them were transported by land, and some of them were transported by water first and then by land, right?"
"That's right."
Liu Che nodded as if he didn't understand.
"And when you travel by land, most of them are gravel roads and rugged mountain roads, right?"
"Yes!"
Tang Qi smiled: "It is that there are too many of these lots, so it greatly affects the speed of travel, and if it rains heavily, it will make the road muddy and impossible to walk at all." ”
"Some of the more fragile mountain roads will be landslides and broken because of this."
"In this way, there is no need to leave, stay and do it in a hurry."
Liu Che and Wei Qing sighed at the same time.
This is also a big problem for the big man.
As the saying goes, it's going to rain, and the mother wants to get married.
God's temper is elusive.
It's usually fine, but if there is a heavy rain during transportation, it will be a big annoyance.
In the past, it only took ten days to deliver the materials, but now it takes half a month and a month, which is very delayed.
"So, the highway came along."
Tang Qi gestured his finger as if he were drawing a map.
"On land, build highways that connect to the places where water transport takes place!"
The most important feature of the highway is its smoothness.
In the highway, the goods are safely sent to the waterway, which is also a disguised opening up of water transportation.
And after the end of the water transport, you can go directly to the high-speed.
In this way, the speed of transporting materials has always maintained an astonishing efficiency, and there will be no delay on the way.
Of course, this is just talking about building highways on flat ground.
As for building a highway in the mountains, it is naturally much more difficult.
But it doesn't matter, after all, there are workarounds.
In a place like this, you can basically settle for the next best thing, and instead of pursuing high-quality highways, you can just water them with cement.
It can be a little simpler, but as long as the normal passage of the carriage can be guaranteed, it will not have much impact on the overall situation.
As for those winding roads and the like, with the technology of the Han Dynasty, they can't do it for the time being.
As for how to solve it......
Since the construction has not yet been carried out and no specific problems have been encountered, Tang Qi can't talk about it for a while.
"Aren't highways afraid of snow, snow, rain and the like?"
"Won't it collapse?"
Wei Qing couldn't help but ask.
Tang Qi rolled his eyes, pointed to the cement under his feet and said, "Your Majesty, General Wei, do you think this road surface is afraid of landslides?" Afraid of snow and ice? ”
“……”
Wei Qing suddenly stopped.
Not to mention, the concrete floor is really not afraid of these.
"How should this highway be built?"
Liu Che was a little impatient.
"It should be a lot of manpower and material resources, right? But Mr. Tang just said that you can minimize the loss of manpower and material resources. ”
"Yes."
Tang Qi said confidently: "There is a way to turn mud into stone!" ”
"Turn mud into stone, and you can build a highway."
"Mud to stone?"
Liu Che almost got up from his chair.
looked at Tang Qi with a look of surprise on his face.
How is this possible?
Can mud be turned into stone?
This simply doesn't make sense.
It's completely impossible.
That's right......
Tang Qi is an immortal disciple.
It's from Penglai Immortal Island.
Others may not.
But if it is put on him at this time, anything impossible can happen......
"Hehe, the concrete road under our feet is made by me out of mud."
Tang Qi smiled.
The technology of cement was invented in later generations.
In the current Western Han Dynasty, they naturally don't understand cement.
Although it is said that cement is the head of the road, but in fact, who knows what cement is?
"Sir, is this immortal art?"
Liu Che and Wei Qing were shocked.
This matter is really beyond their comprehension.
