In the Mobei grassland, a large number of clansmen from the Tiele tribe gathered in Dingxiang City, and the elders of the nine surnames came to Su Dingfang's mansion.

"General Su, according to the agreement, we have already brought our clansmen over, when do you think this road repair will begin?" For the sake of the income of 100 steps, several old men almost smiled like a flower on their faces, clustered around Su Dingfang.

Su Dingfang had long known about Li Chengqian's plan, and he didn't procrastinate at the moment, knocked on the table, and waited for the old men around him to be quiet, and then said: "Since the road is going to be built, it will naturally be repaired according to the standards of my Datang, you have no objection to this, right?" ”

"No, no!" The old men shook their heads.

"Then let's take a look at this picture." Taking a drawing from his subordinates, Su Dingfang spread it out among the crowd, and then said: "The width of the road should reach the width of six carriages in parallel, of which the roadbed should be a two-foot-thick rammed earth layer, with a one-foot-thick gravel on top, and then half a foot of rammed earth on top, and finally a four-inch thick cement pavement. ”

"Huh?!" A few old men were stunned.

In their opinion, building a road is just cutting all the grass, and then running back and forth with horses, and finally stepping on a road.

But now after listening to Su Dingfang's words, I realized that things don't seem to be so simple, and this so-called road doesn't seem to be as simple as they seem to be.

But Su Dingfang didn't want to end like this, and without waiting for a few old men to react, he continued: "Drainage channels should be built on both sides of the road, and the road surface should be one foot above the ground level. ”

Several old men were stunned, and with their intelligence, they couldn't imagine how much manpower and material resources would be required for such a road.

Because according to what Su Dingfang said, even if the road surface is one foot higher than the surface, then it is equal to the thickness of the last layer of inferior soil and cement pavement combined, that is to say, there are two feet of rammed earth layer and one foot of gravel layer below, which is Pingbai to dig nearly three feet deep into the ground, and it must reach the width of six carriages in parallel.

"Su, General Su, Da, Datang are all like this?" Some old guys questioned Su Dingfang's proposed road construction standards.

"It doesn't matter what kind of road Datang is, the important thing is that the foundation of Mobei is too soft, if there is no thicker roadbed, then this road will be abandoned in less than three years."

The person who spoke was Sun Cheng, who studied under Bao Longtu, was Lao Bao's proud protégé, and has been responsible for the construction of the entire cement road from Chang'an to Dingxiang since he left the school, and it can be said that he has rich experience to the extreme.

"It can be used for three years, and we can repair it anytime and anywhere." Another old man took over: "It takes time and effort for you to do this, and the road you make may not last for five years, but it is better to follow our way, tens of thousands of cavalry on horseback, and step out of a road quickly and conveniently." ”

Sun Cheng and Su Dingfang glanced at each other, revealing a trace of helplessness, these old guys really don't get in the oil and salt, their way of building the road is convenient and fast, but the road built can only allow the war horses to gallop on it, some carriages or something will fall apart in a few days when they reach such a road, and if it encounters the rainy season, it will make the road muddy and difficult to walk.

It doesn't seem to have any impact on the road of the Tiele people, anyway, they all rely on war horses to travel, and for Datang, this is equivalent to the money being wasted.

Thinking of this, Su Dingfang took a deep breath and said in a deep voice: "Building the road in our way can guarantee that it will not be reworked within twenty years, but if it is according to your way, I am afraid that this road will be scrapped in less than half a year, do you think my Datang's money is really so easy to make?" Can it be deceived in such a way? ”

"Uh......, General Su, where do you start with this, we are also thinking about Datang!"

"That's right, General Su, if you repair it according to what you drew on this map, not to mention when you will be able to complete the road, even if it is repaired, the cost will be too high."

"Yes, there are not too many stones in Mobei, if you need gravel, you have to go to Yinshan, not to mention how long it takes to go back and forth, in terms of manpower alone, it is not a small cost."

"Yes, yes, yes, and just like the little brother said just now, the foundation here in Mobei is not good, even if it is repaired in your way, it is really difficult to guarantee that this road can last for twenty years."

Old men, you and I have our own opinions, but in general, there is only one thing, and that is to feel that I have lost.

After all, if the road is built according to the standard that Su Dingfang said, the section of more than 100 steps will only require a lot of manpower and material resources, which is not at all compensated for by the consistent money, and it can even be said that the consistent money may not even be enough to repair the food expenses of this section of the road.

Su Dingfang's face became more and more ugly, and when the last old man finished speaking, he smiled coldly: "The construction standards are strictly calculated, if the road you cut corners and build is not up to standard, resulting in this road not reaching the service life, then wait to be beheaded!" ”

As soon as these words came out, several old men suddenly had a feeling that it was difficult to ride a tiger, and said unwillingly: "This ......, what kind of truth is this, His Royal Highness King Qin didn't say that at the beginning." ”

"His Royal Highness the King of Qin promised that we will definitely fulfill it, and I will pay back the money in the Tang Dynasty in a hundred steps, but we have fulfilled His Royal Highness's promise, and your road must also be built, otherwise it will ......"

Otherwise, there is no need to say anything, in the case of artificial knives and fish and meat, a few old men know very well what it means to be behind otherwise.

Not to mention that the current patriarch Qi Bi He Li is leading the young people in the clan to fight outside, even if Qi Bi He Li is in the clan, the 50,000 young people have not gone out to fight, and with the power of the Tang Dynasty, it is not easy to destroy them.

Seeing that the conversation was at an impasse, Sun Cheng coughed lightly beside him, attracting everyone's attention to himself: "In fact, you don't lose money when the road is repaired, according to Datang's regulations, a cement road of sufficient grade can set up a toll station, and the money collected will be distributed by Datang and the construction party according to the agreement." ”

"In other words, if this road is built well enough, you Tiele people can live forever on this road, even if you don't go to grazing, you can feed all of you by just guarding this road."

"Of course, this requires you to build the road well enough, the better the road repair, the more merchants will come, and the more merchants will come, the more you will naturally earn."

"Not to mention that you can also sell some goods along the road, these are all business opportunities for you." nt
