Now it's not early, watching the sunset, An He is proud on the horse, cement is just a small thing, how to maximize its function is a big deal, now everything is ready, just wait for tomorrow to start the action, then he will use cement to build a few long 'billboards', let everyone figure out what cement does first, and then announce his plan, when the time comes......

"Hahahaha~"

Thinking of the smugness, An He couldn't help laughing out loud, which attracted the attention of the pedestrians around him, if it weren't for An He's gorgeous clothes and many guards around him, it is estimated that someone would have rushed up and arrested him as a psychopath.

On the second day of the establishment of Anhe's cement supervision institute, a very ordinary thing attracted the attention of many people. In the most prosperous east and west cities of Chang'an, the two main roads began to be renovated at the same time, and the construction of one side turned out to be the newly established cement supervision institute, many people know that An He was appointed as the cement supervision envoy, so at the beginning there were many people concerned about the cement supervision institute's every move, but I didn't expect An He to take office after he did not do business, put down the cement production business, but robbed the name of the Ministry of Industry to start building roads?

There are a few inspectors who can't look at it, and immediately impeached An He for exceeding his authority, but he was criticized by Li Xiaojiu, because Anhe used cement to build roads, and the cement superintendent was in charge of all cement-related affairs, so this was not ultra vires. Although this reason is barely said in the past, anyone with a discerning eye can see that this is obviously Li Xiaojiu favoring Anhe, and it is true that cement is used to build roads, but road construction is a matter within the Ministry of Work, and Anhe can only provide cement, and then let the Ministry of Industry send someone to repair it, and there is no need for his cement supervision institute to come forward.

But with the construction of the two main roads, everyone's attention was drawn to the road itself, and no one cared who built it anymore. Because as long as you have seen the cement road, you will be shocked by the smooth and hard cement road surface, in the eyes of the Tang people. It's incredible to mix a pile of floury cement and sandstones, then smooth them down on the road and turn them into stones in a few days. So now it's time to build roads. There is always a group of good people who follow, and they can't get rid of it, and even many people make a special trip to the east and west cities to watch.

With the flow of people in the east and west cities, almost everyone in Chang'an now knows about the magic of cement, and they also know that the person who invented cement was the one who called the Wuliangye press conference before. For a time, the name of Anhe once again became the focus of the entire Chang'an.

On this day, Zhang Xingcheng had just come down from the morning court, and he was about to go back to Zhongshu Province to deal with government affairs, but he didn't expect to be stopped by Li Xiaojiu, so he had to take him to see the cement road of Anhexiu.

As the prime minister, Zhang Xingcheng had a lot of affairs on his body, and he didn't want to go, but it was the emperor's will to be impatient, so he could only go with them. These people all changed into civilian clothes, in addition to Li Xiaojiu, Cheng Zhijie and Zhang Xingcheng themselves, there were also Li Shiji and the eldest grandson Wuji. Just two literati and two martial arts plus an emperor.

A group of five people came to the East Market, the first thing they saw was a busy scene, the main road of the entire East Market was divided into two halves from the middle, the right side has been paved with cement, and it has also been hardened, and now it is ready to leave.

The section on the left is also under construction, and I see the craftsmen dividing the road into rectangles with wooden planks, and then pouring the mixed concrete into it little by little, and there are craftsmen in it to smooth out the performance, but it takes only a quarter of an hour. A section of cement pavement more than ten meters long was repaired, and then left to dry for a period of time, and when the surface was almost condensed, it was laid with straw and waited for it to dry.

"That's too fast, isn't it? From An Aiqing to the present, it has only taken more than ten days, how can the main road in Dongshi be repaired by more than half at once? ”

Li Xiaojiu looked at the road surface that was quickly covered by cement, and said with some hesitation.

"Your Majesty, in fact, this is An Zhonglang will be tricky!"

The eldest grandson Wuji saw it clearly, and pointed to the places where the roads were built and whispered.

"Your Majesty, please see, those craftsmen are just laying cement on the original road surface, because this road is originally paved with bricks and stones, which is quite solid, and it is enough to directly pave a layer of cement, but if you want to build a new road, you must first smooth and tamp the road surface, and then you can lay cement, and the speed at that time is much slower."

"Haha, I didn't pay attention to this!"

Li Xiaojiu took a closer look, and sure enough, as the eldest grandson Wuji said, he smiled.

Li Shiji and Cheng Zhijie walked curiously to the repaired road, first stomped with their feet, and found that it was almost the same as the cement slab they saw that day, and now the repaired half of the road has begun to be used, there are many pedestrians and vehicles on the road, and many people are like Li Shiji and Cheng Zhijie, who are very curious about the smooth and hard cement pavement under their feet, and some people even bend down to touch the road, almost exactly the same as Li Xiaojiu's performance when they first saw cement.

"Your Majesty, if you don't see it with your own eyes, you really can't imagine that there are so many benefits of cement pavement, if the whole country uses cement to build roads, not only do you not have to worry about the rain in the future, but also when the carriage transporting goods travels on it, the speed can run faster, and save horsepower, in the old minister's estimation, if a horse-drawn carriage can run a hundred miles a day in the past, then it can run three or four hundred miles a day on the cement road, and in the future, whether it is transporting grain and grass or soldiers and horses, it will be several times faster than before."

Li Shiji also came back with an excited face to report, although they were out on patrol in civilian clothes, they had guards around them to separate the people around them, so they were not afraid that someone would hear their conversation.

"What Li Fushu said is good, if the cement road is built, it will not only be of great use in the military, but also can speed up the circulation of goods in various places, make all industries more prosperous, and the people will be richer, which is really a feat that will benefit the future generations!"

Li Xiaojiu also said with emotion, if he still had some doubts about building roads in a big way before, now after seeing the half of the street that has been built, he also immediately strengthened his confidence in building roads, but he didn't find that the eldest grandson Wuji behind him was full of gloom.

Li Xiaojiu walked around the cement road with great interest, listened to the discussions of the people around him, and found that most of the discussions were about cement and Anhe, and the rumors about Anhe aroused his interest.

There are many rumors that An He was favored by the gods and was able to teach the heavenly arts, which is why he began to become so extraordinary. And the rumors are also well-documented, for example, Wuliangye is actually the fairy brew in the sky, and the cement is the soil used by Dayu in the legend to control the water, etc., anyway, one is more outrageous than the other, but the more outrageous, the more the people like to listen.
