Chapter 585: Building Roads
"Sacrifice ugliness, sacrifice ugliness!" After a song, Chen Xu hurriedly jumped back to his chair and sat down, and the eyes of the whole room fell on Chen Xu.
"Papapapa~" Yu Wuya walked in with applause, stood in the center of the living room and bowed his hands slightly, and then pulled out his sharp sword with a choked sound.
The room suddenly resounded with a frightened scream of the palace maid, and the situation was a little panicked.
Chen Xu looked at Yu Wuya with a dark face.
"Forgive sins, forgive sins, I just can't help but want to sing and dance for everyone!" Yu Wuya hurriedly apologized and appeased the two little princesses.
"Brother Yu, do you have to draw your sword when you sing?" Chen Xu said with a twitch of cheeks.
"Hehe, Wuya is used to it, don't worry, you won't hurt anyone!" After Yu Wuya finished speaking, his face slowly became solemn, and the momentum on his body suddenly became fierce, and after a while, his wrist flicked, his body also spread, and the long sword began to sing while dancing with his body.
"The sword and sword shadow are not my sect, the sky and the sea have my own style, both hands push is neither black nor white, neither good nor bad, how can you defeat if you don't win......"
Yu Wuya's performance is different, the posture of the long sword is as vigorous as a dragon, the flipping and moving sword light is like a cold wind whistling, sometimes fast and sometimes slow, quiet as a virgin and moving like a rabbit, and the singing voice is also unique, completely different from the gentle and gentle style performed by Chen Xu and others, full of an indifferent but natural and heroic momentum, which sublimated this originally feminine family song and dance banquet a lot.
"Good! Master Yu's performance is really good! After Yu Wuya's performance, countless maids and guards applauded warmly, and it was obvious that Yu Wuya's popularity in the mansion was very high.
The person is handsome, and he has strong martial arts, and he can sing and dance swords, he is simply a handsome variety, some little maids and servants look at Yu Wuyi's chic appearance, and they already feel almost out of breath, and their cheeks are crimson and their eyes are rippling.
However, Yu Wuya, known as a straight man, turned a blind eye to these seductions, choked the sword into the scabbard, proudly arched his hand slightly to the surroundings, and then strode to Chen Xu's side, sat on a chair and squeezed his eyebrows and said, "Engong, I performed well, right?" ”
"Well, yes, yes, I was beaten twice by Xia Zijin, and it seems that my martial arts have improved a lot!" Chen Xu did not hesitate to praise him.
Yu Wuya: ......
"I'll sing you a soft favorite song too!" Shui Qingrou also stood up at this time, holding a bamboo flute and walking to the center of the living room.
In this era when they don't hide their personalities too much, both men and women express their preferences in the most simple and direct way, and it is not fashionable to hide this kind of thing.
This era emphasized the immediate view of the end of the bag, and emphasized very active and offensive self-expression methods such as Mao Sui's self-recommendation, rather than the moderate and conservative way advocated by Confucianism in later generations.
As disciples of Liezi, although Yu Wuya and Shui Qingrou live a calm and quiet life, it does not mean that they will not show their joys, sorrows, and sorrows, on the contrary, their thoughts are simpler, and their love, hatred, and joy are very clear.
"When is the bright moon, ask the wine to the sky, I don't know the heavenly palace, what year is it tonight......"
This song that has only appeared once in the Qinghe Theater in Wancheng, because Shui Qingru likes it very much, Chen Xu let people stop performing, and this song with a real fairy spirit has become a swan song, at this time Shui Qingqing is holding a bamboo flute while singing and dancing, and the black dress is swaying with the delicate body, really like a fairy who wants to fly in the wind, only to see people are fascinated, even Chen Xu is reluctant to look away.
And just when Chen Xu and a large group of beautiful little ladies were singing and dancing in Qinghe Villa, enjoying the comfort of life.
Under the scorching sun, outside the south gate of Xianyang City, a group of craftsmen with the badge of the Academy of Sciences on their chests are directing many craftsmen with measuring ropes and observation benchmarks to plan a cement road from the city gate to the Weihe wharf.
After two days of surveying, the road was basically planned, the width of the roadbed was drawn along the measuring rope with lime, and some soldiers and prisoners began to clear and level the roadbed, while some slaves and convicts carried wooden planks and wheelbarrows and bamboo baskets to transport river sand and gravel back and forth.
Although it was the hottest time of the day, the move of the Academy of Sciences still attracted a lot of people entering and leaving the city, and many merchants who came and went also knew that the Academy of Sciences was going to build a new road between the city gate and the horse's head, so many people were also curious, there was already a road now, why should it be rebuilt? However, under the inquiry, the construction staff did not reveal the reason at all, so more people were curious and speculated, and gathered around to watch the construction of this new road.
The planning of this new road was completed in just two days, because the length was only two miles, so 100 prisoners and 100 slaves were recruited, and it is estimated that the roadbed will be leveled in half a day, and the laying of concrete is estimated to be completely completed in one day at most.
Zhao Qing, as the director of the Academy of Sciences, almost all the things of the Academy of Sciences are arranged by him, and he has been handling them in an orderly manner, cement and concrete, he naturally knows, because the newly built cement factory has begun to fire, but the Hou Ye asked him to keep it secret for the time being, so he has not reported it to the emperor, but today this matter is relatively big, and he can't keep it secret, because he is now standing in the Zichen Hall of the palace.
"Zhao Qing, I heard that the Academy of Sciences has asked the Ministry of Industry to recruit prisoners and slaves to build a road from the south gate of the city to the wharf, why? Could it be that there is some major arrangement of the Academy of Sciences? ”
Qin Shi Huang sat behind the desk, didn't pay much attention to Zhao Qing who was summoned, and continued to look at the piece in his hand and asked lightly.
"Yes, Your Majesty! Outside the city, the cement made of factory mud has been successfully developed, and the Marquis of Qinghe plans to build a concrete bridge across the river with a width of three zhang on the Wei River......"
"What? Qinghe Hou's immortal technique of turning mud into stone has been successfully developed? When did it happen? Qin Shi Huang Huo Ran stood up.
"It has been more than a month since the successful development, but because it is necessary to verify the efficacy of cement, Hou Ye instructed not to notify His Majesty first, so as not to disappoint His Majesty if the experiment failed, so the minister did not report, but after a period of verification, the efficacy of cement has been relatively perfect, yesterday Hou Ye commissioned Zhang Cang in the Academy of Sciences to raise manpower to prepare to build a bridge on the Wei River to replace the current wooden bridge, and this new road outside the south of the city also continues to verify the expansion characteristics of cement in summer, so as to build a bridge to collect data ......"
"Come on, get ready to drive, I'm going to see the newly built road!"
Before Zhao Qing finished speaking, Qin Shi Huang threw down the piece in his hand and commanded loudly.
So the guards and the people of the Shaofu heard the news and moved, and after the guard of honor was ready, the edict was passed out of the palace, and the guards and forbidden troops quickly dispatched to close the street leading to the south of the city for martial law.
Half an hour later, under the escort of hundreds of Xuanwu guards and 3,000 forbidden troops, the Son of Heaven drove out of the palace and marched out of the city with a banner waving.
The emperor's actions not only made the people of Xianyang feel inexplicable, but even the Manchu civil and military ministers and princes and ministers who got the news could not understand, and they didn't know why the emperor suddenly wanted to leave the city at such a hot noon, so Li Sifeng went to Jimengyi and other officials from the three provinces and six departments also hurriedly prepared to go out of the city.
The south gate of the city has been taken over by the forbidden army, and the road leading to the outside of the city is also defended by the black-armored forbidden army with a bow and crossbow in three steps, one post, five steps and one sentry.
The emperor's car arrived suddenly, and there was a panic near the south of the city, the slaves and prisoners all knelt on the ground, and the people and merchants who entered and exited the city gate all retreated and did not dare to come out of the atmosphere thirty zhang away.
Zhang Cang led a group of craftsmen on the construction site to meet the emperor by the palace people.
"Minister Zhang Cang, please see Your Majesty!"
"Your Majesty!"
"Excuse me!"
Qin Shi Huang Qin Shi Huang wore a dark dragon robe, wearing a crown and sitting on the car of the Son of Heaven, but the small carport could not hide the strong sunlight, and half of his body fell in the strong sunlight.
"I heard that the immortal art of turning mud into stone has been successfully developed, and you want to use this kind of thing to build a new road?"
"Yes, Your Majesty, this thing is called cement, and it has been successful after several months of development, so the Hou Ye instructed me to build a road here to verify and collect more data, and then prepare to build a bridge across the Wei River that is as strong as a mountain rock." Zhang Cang replied.
"Okay, I just want to see how this cement turns into mud and stone, and quickly use it!" Qin Shi Huang excitedly stood up and ordered.
Zhang Cang turned his head and asked a few craftsmen, and after getting the answer, he arched his hand and said: "Your Majesty, now that the roadbed from the city gate to the river bank has been partially leveled, you can start laying concrete, Your Majesty wants to watch the ministers arrange to start paving the road, and ask Your Majesty to let the forbidden army allow the workers and slaves to transport sand, gravel, cement and other things over, and the ministers will start from the road in front of them." ”
"Pass it on, and let the craftsmen and workers of the Academy of Sciences go!" Qin Shi Huang waved his sleeves, and suddenly several forbidden army captains passed it loudly, and soon the heavily defended forbidden army dispersed a road.
Zhang Cang also hurriedly commanded a group of craftsmen of the Academy of Sciences to arrange for craftsmen to take the workers to transport the cement, river, sand, stones, and planks, etc., and some craftsmen instructed the helpers to use wooden planks to set up molds on the roadbed that had been leveled, and other craftsmen began to instruct the craftsmen to weigh the sand and pebbles with bamboo baskets, and then weigh the cement from the fine linen woven sacks with wooden buckets and dump it on the sand and gravel, and then some workers and slaves used shovels to mix the sand and gravel cement together, and dug a big pit in the middle. A craftsman poured a few buckets of water into it according to the proportions, and then ordered the stirring to begin.
A group of slaves with nail rakes and shovels immediately began to pile up the sand and cement in the center of the puddle, and the shovels were rake down, and soon a pile of concrete was mixed.
"Start building the road, the thickness is one foot, the top of the wooden mold is flat, the interval is two zhang partition, the gap is five points, and the supervisor prepares a level to monitor the ...... at any time"
Under the command of the craftsman, a basket of concrete made of concrete was loaded into a rattan basket and carried to the roadbed by the slaves, and poured out according to the position designated by the craftsman, and then the helper used a rake to rake the concrete evenly on the roadbed to just level with the top of the wooden mold, fill the place that was not enough, dig the high place, and at the same time use the wooden pestle to be next to the dense pestle again, and then the craftsman used an iron trowel to smooth the surface.
With the participation of more than a dozen craftsmen and craftsmen and hundreds of slaves, the scene looked busy but not chaotic, Daqin's strict craftsman decrees made everyone strictly abide by the construction system formulated by the Academy of Sciences, and no one dared to do anything perfunctory, especially now that the emperor was watching from the side, if there was a problem with this road in the future, everyone on the scene would be punished.
