In addition to the news of sweet potatoes, there is also good news An Zhongzhi also told Lin Bei, that is, leveling the ground has entered the final stage, and it should be completely completed today, and the rest is to get it when repairing the house, and after leveling the ground, you can repair the road.

In any era, road construction is a major project, and the Three Kingdoms period is no exception, and this road is even more difficult to build.

The straight-line distance from the school to Xishan Township is about thirty miles, of which the length of the forest is twenty-five miles, and it is really difficult to open up a smooth avenue in the forest.

In ancient times, the most famous road must be the official road, which is funded by the imperial court to build the road, mainly for the imperial court service, although the common people can also walk, but whenever the official walks the official road, the common people must avoid it, otherwise they will be drunk, and the heavy will be sent to the prison cell, which is quite strict.

And what is the official way? In Lin Bei's impression, it is actually some tamped dirt roads, at least in this era, they are mud roads, which are quite strong, even if it rains, they are not easy to turn into mud, and the quality is quite guaranteed.

When An Zhong asked Lin Bei what road he wanted to build, Lin Bei didn't think about it, and replied directly: "At least it's a stone road." ”

As soon as these words came out, An Zhongzhi felt bitter for a while, because the stone road was not easy to repair.

How to repair roads in ancient times? It is purely by manpower, so it is generally to repair the dirt road, let the people pick up the soil back, use a hoe or a wooden stick to make the ground inch by inch strong, and there is also the concept of laying a roadbed in ancient times, just the roadbed is quite time-consuming, a county to build an official road generally has to raise the strength of the whole county to repair, tired people are very common.

And the stone slab road has to be paved on the roadbed, the slate can not be paved casually, the size of the thickness is about the same, the stone can be much heavier than the soil, the bluestone slab is not everywhere, the stonemason needs to be mined first, and then carried back, out of thin air a lot of effort.

Because of this, the stone road was not popular in ancient times, maybe the main road in the county will be a stone road, or there are stone slabs around important cities such as Luoyang and other places, and the rest of the places are dirt roads, and now Lin Bei wants An Zhongzhi to lead the people to build a stone road, An Zhongzhi felt that the eggs were faintly a little painful, and he had the courage to tell Lin Bei that it was difficult to repair the stone road, hoping that Lin Bei could dispel this idea, and told Lin Bei that if the stone road was built, then I am afraid that it would not be able to be repaired in a winter, but Lin Bei still insisted.

As a modern person, Lin Bei deeply knows the great role of a good road, the mud road in the countryside is usually fine, but it is very rotten when it rains, and it is difficult to get through the car, because it is easy to fall into the mud pit, the poorer the place, the worse the road, this is a vicious circle, only when the road is good, all kinds of materials can be quickly transported in and out.

The road from the school to Xishan Township Lin Bei is not only intended to be used when students go to school, this road will also shoulder the heavy responsibility of transporting the precious wild resources of Fushan in the future, whether it is the animals of the farm in the future, or the food or medicinal materials planted in the future, Fushan is very large, so it is also quite important to maintain a smooth road, then the stone road is necessary, if there is no condition now, Lin Bei even wants to build an asphalt road or pave railroad it.

Lin Bei's insistence, An Zhongzhi had no way, he pointed at Master Bian, hoping that Bian Ji could persuade Lin Bei, but Bian Ji didn't see it, and finally An Zhongzhi didn't move: "My lord, how wide is this stone road to be built?" ”

An Zhongzhi beat the drum in his heart, feeling that it was already very difficult to come to a zhang wide, and if it was one zhang wide, it would be enough for a carriage to pass, but who knew that Lin Bei directly wrote a number: "Four zhang wide." ”

In ancient times, one zhang was 2.4 meters, and four zhang was 9.6 meters, close to ten meters, which could accommodate three to four carriages in parallel.

An Zhong's straight face is already a little wooden, and the four-zhang wide stone road, Luoyang, the capital of the gods, doesn't seem to have such a wide road, right? If it weren't for Lin Bei in front of him, An Zhongzhi would definitely say that this guy's head was broken.

"What? Questions? Lin Bei saw that An Zhongzhi had not spoken, so he asked.

The problem was so big that An Zhongzhi wanted to cry: "My lord, this four-zhang width is indeed too wide, let alone a winter, even if it takes one year, it can't finish this road." ”

Lin Bei thought for a while and said: "It's okay to level the ground first, and then lay the stone slabs, and there are a lot of stones in the mountains, it's easy to get some stone slabs, right?" Find some stonemasons to cut the stone slabs, and then find someone to carry them back, assembly line work, it's very simple. ”

Lin Beizhen doesn't think there is any difficulty, in modern times, even a dozen people can build a road, although it is a machine, but there are a lot of people in Xishan Township, if it is not enough, you can also recruit some people, and An Zhongzhi also said, in winter, the people have almost no work to do, if they come to build roads, they can pay money and have enough food, and the people should not refuse.

"My lord, there are not enough people." An Zhong said directly.

"Then find people, idlers in the township, idlers in the county, you can call to build roads, tell them that they can eat enough and have money to get, someone must come."

"Where does the money come from, where does the food come from?"

Lin Bei looked at Zhen Ding, and Zhen Dingxin said Could it be that the adults asked me to pay for these people's salaries? Although Zhen Ding is very convinced of Lin Bei, if you want to say that one or two hundred gold can be paid, one or two hundred gold is obviously not enough for the wages of the workers.

"Zhending, you said that, right? Will you give me a good reward for catching the proboscis beast? ”

Zhen Ding smiled bitterly, well, he really said it, so Zhen Ding understood: "What did the adult say?" ”

"Yes, anyway, this money is of little use to me, aren't you Zhen a grain merchant? He exchanged part of the money for grain, and gave part of it to An Zhongzhi and Cui Lan, so that the two of them could pay the workers. ”

Money is really useless to Lin Bei now, unless it's gold or something, Lin Bei can still collect it, brass Lin Bei doesn't have the heart to collect, besides, if you really want to collect, this era is just to get something to put on the modern is also an antique, far more valuable than gold, but is it useful now? There must be no more, and the reason why Cui Lan was added is not that he doesn't trust An Zhongzhi, but that money is a thing that can easily make people bad, and the two supervise each other, and the situation will be much better.

The money is Lin Bei's, Zhen Ding definitely can't control it and doesn't dare to take care of it, let alone Lin Bei take it out, even if Lin Bei throws the money away, Zhen Ding won't ask, so he nodded and said, "Just like what the adults said." ”

After Zhen Ding spoke, Lin Bei asked An Zhongzhi: "Is there still a problem with this?" ”

An Zhongzhi sighed: "My lord is so generous, I have nothing to say, I will definitely do this thing beautifully and live up to my lord's heart." ”
