The plan of using high cement to make concrete was denied by Hao Ren, because in this era, if you want to burn high cement, I don't know what year and month, and the cement pavement does not absorb heat well, and it is easy to accumulate snow, so there is only one possibility, using asphalt and gravel to build a road for future generations!

There are several types of asphalt, one of which is petroleum asphalt!

Oil, also known as fierce fire oil, was first recorded in the "Zhou Yi", in the Northern Song Dynasty Shen Kuo's "Mengxi Writings", the oil was named the first time, and has been used until later generations, and after five generations of fierce fire oil, it has been widely used in the army. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

As long as the fierce fire oil is distilled, all that remains is asphalt, and the obtains petroleum asphalt, the process is very simple.

Fortunately, in the treasury of Luzhou, there are barrels of fierce fire oil, which is enough for Hao Ren to use for experiments!

Hao Ren's initial idea was very simple, just to distill to obtain asphalt, which was used as a raw material for paving, and later in actual operation, he smelled a strong smell of gasoline, and obtained gasoline, kerosene, and diesel from the distilled ingredients.

These oils could not be discarded at will, and Hao Ren did not need them for the time being, and he did not have time to try to separate the three of them in and out, using sealed wooden barrels, loading waste materials, and hiding them in underground warehouses, using only one of the raw materials for building roads with asphalt.

As for the gravel used in road construction, there is no qualified steel to make a crusher, and there is no internal combustion engine to do the power, so the stone can only be smashed with a hydraulic hammer, and the large mesh screen is used to delete and select, in addition to manual labor, it is also easy.

Then we use manpower to take soil and stones and build roadbeds! In this era, there are no bulldozers and no excavators, and this part is basically handled manually, requiring a large amount of earth and stone, so it also requires huge manpower.

The equipment for road construction should also be improved, not all of which can be used manually, but also by using the principle of pulleys to manufacture artificial ramming base poles, and to manufacture cast iron rollers with horse-drawn horses.

Hao Ren did not wait for the transformation of many instruments to be completed, but spent ten days, using pure artificiality, to pave only a section of road that is five meters wide and five meters long!

Although the matter of road construction has first seen its eyebrow, Hao Ren is not optimistic, he knows that this method of road construction can only be put on hold for the time being!

Building a road is too expensive, too labor-intensive, a lot of labor, a lot of food, and how many people can't be engaged in field production normally?

Building a road is the same as burning money, with the current financial resources of the Qingfeng Army, it is barely enough to support the army to fight, if this road is built, it is estimated that the soldiers will be hungry, and the soldiers will not be able to fight hungry. The soldiers were hungry, and no matter how good the system was, it could not prevent the mutiny of the army.

How many kings in history have had great successes draining the wealth of their nations and eventually leading to kingdoms?

Hao Ren did not have the financial resources to build the Qin Chi Road, nor did he have the manpower of Yang Guang of the Great Sui Dynasty to dig the Grand Canal from Luoyang to Yuhang.

He was just one of the many secession warlords in the late Yuan Dynasty, and he did not have enough huge financial, material, and human resources to build a road to burn money.

In the case of insufficient strength, spending so many manpower, material resources, and financial resources to build roads for future generations, Hao Ren's plane may not have taken off, it will provoke a popular uprising, and eventually lead to the destruction of the plane and the death of people, and the road construction incident will also become one of Zhu Chongba's own crimes.

Several deputies of Hao Ren's workshop saw that the road was black and radiating the luster of asphalt, and the road surface was as smooth as a stone, and they were excited to do all kinds of damage tests on it.

Some pushed gun carts back and forth and ran on it. The road is flat, the gun carriage is light and not bumpy.

Some use a hammer to hit the road surface, the asphalt is willful, the whole road surface is like a whole, under the heavy blow of the hammer, it is difficult to destroy the road surface for a while.

Some use buckets of water to wash the road. The road surface measured by the level is slightly higher than the two sides, and the rainwater flows along the slope of the road into the ditches on both sides of the road to collect soil and drain the water, and there is no water accumulation at all.

Such an ingenious design, the craftsmen have never seen before, and they can't help but praise it.

"Lord, this road is very good, we should continue to repair!" Hao Ren's road construction deputy Lu Da saw Hao Ren's frowning and shouted excitedly.

"Hey!" Hao Ren sighed and said: "Let the craftsmen stop working, this road will not be repaired!" ”

"Huh? Lord, if such a good road is built, it will definitely benefit the Quartet, why not build it? Lu Da exclaimed.

Several craftsmen who were originally excited, when they heard that Hao Ren was going to give up their efforts for several days, also forgot their excitement, and all stopped the road test tools in their hands and surrounded Hao Ren in confusion, wanting to hear Hao Ren's explanation.

"Because of the lack of financial, material and human resources, I can't afford to repair it!" Hao Ren said helplessly. He knows that he can do what he can, and if he takes big steps, he can easily pull eggs.

"Because of the benevolent government of the lord, the people's lives have become rich, we can let the people go out of the army, we craftsmen, we would rather give up the salary, but also build a magnificent road that has no ancients before and no one after us, please take back the lord's life!" Lu Da almost burst into tears, and persuaded bitterly.

Hao Ren didn't pay attention to Lu Da's words, he just looked at the road he had built, and fell into deep thought:

'Traversers, can't be too tossed, big steps, easy to pull eggs, follow in the footsteps of Emperor Yang of Sui, Qin Shi Huang, the people's hearts that have finally been picked up, can not be because of the construction of a road, and the road of the sky is angry and resentful, so that the early efforts will be in vain! ’

Hao Ren has gone through a lot of hard work to make the road construction first effective, and at this time he decided to give up, just like giving up the child he raised, which is more painful than a hard-working Internet writer cutting off his own works!

However, what can Hao Ren do? China has not yet been unified, the people need to recuperate, Qingfeng Army's material and financial resources are insufficient, and they can't let hundreds of thousands, millions of people, follow themselves to suffer and suffer because of one of their own thoughts, and give up building roads, which is just a helpless choice.

'A traverser, can't do things exactly according to his own wishes, I'm a complete failure! ’

'I'm just an ordinary bricklayer on a construction site in my previous life, not a great man, not a god, and no superhuman wisdom, just an ordinary person who can't be ordinary, humble and can't be humble anymore, when I was born, it is said that there is no auspicious fortune from the sky, and the old lady didn't go to "Zhou Gong's Dream Interpretation"! ’

'People, after all, can't fight with the sky, fight with the sky, and are easy to be struck by lightning! After all, people live in a realistic social environment, and if they are divorced from reality, they will bring about their own destruction. People, after all, can't fight with people, fight with people, it's easy to lose the hearts of the people! ’

Hao Ren was both entangled and painful at this time, not that he didn't have the courage to do things, but that he had to face reality, and he couldn't make people angry and resentful because of building a road.

"My lord! Lord! The sound of horses' hooves broke Hao Ren's contemplation, and a war horse galloped out of Luzhou City, and Chen Da on the horse shouted!

"Lord Liao Yongan of Jiangnan, introduce guests to come and ask for a meeting, and Liu Senjun sent me to invite the lord to go back to meet the guests!" Chen Da reined in Changming's war horse (he had been practicing equestrianism recently and had not participated in Hao Ren's road construction), panting.

Liao Yongan is Hao Ren's general system in the south, controlling all walks of life in the south of the Yangtze River, and Liu joins the army to let him meet in person, the matter must be very urgent, is there something wrong in the south?

Hao Ren thought about it in his heart, but asked, "Who is here?" ”

"En......" Chen Da muttered: "Listening to Liu Senjun, it seems to be a big businessman in Jiangnan, surnamed Shen, famous and rich......"

Shen Wansan, the richest man at the end of the Yuan Dynasty, is here? It seems that the road construction has taken a turn for the better!
