"What? In this rocky mountain, the cost will not increase? Cui Jing said in surprise: "Xiaoyuan, you're not joking, right?" ”

In charge of the Ministry of Industry, sitting in the position of the Ministry of Industry for many years, Cui Jing has handled countless projects, and has already accumulated rich experience, he just went to the bottom of this stone mountain to take a look, and knew that what his nephew said was true, forcibly digging a road on this stone mountain, or a few zhang wide road, not a decade and eight years, don't think about being able to get through, the cost of silver has to be hundreds of thousands, which is also the reason why he did not support Liu Yuan just now, and now Liu Yuan said that the road can be repaired without increasing the cost, and the cost of building the road is very likely to be saved.

That's too impetuous, isn't it?

For them, any accident or situation may push up the cost, so the higher the budget, the better, just like the imperial court approves a budget, if the budget is not enough, when the request for another approval, not only the emperor is not happy, but those officials will also look through the old accounts to see if there is any fault, and directly question his ability; If the project is completed and a large amount of savings are returned to the state treasury, it will be praised from top to bottom.

As much as possible to anticipate, this is the common knowledge of everyone who does engineering projects, like the project of the Ministry of Engineering, some budgets, Cui Jing also has to send people to verify again and again before daring to pay, because the budget asked for is too high, and now the difficulties are ahead, Liu Yuan not only did not take the opportunity to put aside a few words in case of a situation in the future, but also put bold words, saying that there was a large amount of money to be returned, and he was not afraid of the wind flashing his tongue.

What if you encounter such an environment again? This time I ran into a swamp and a stone mountain, so what about next time? Who would dare to say that the following will have a smooth ride and will not encounter such a harsh environment again?

The eldest grandson Wuji was also taken aback, shook his head and said, "Won't the virtuous nephew be too optimistic." This stone mountain, even if these people work hard, they are afraid that they will not be allowed to clean up, to be honest, this road, there must be more than this one hurdle, there is no need to add additional shares, you said that there are also large amounts of shares to make concessions, which is too exaggerated. ”

I don't know whether the eldest grandson Wuji's words are an explanation for Liu Yuan or a radical method.

Old Demon King Cheng squinted his eyes and said, "Those present." It's all your elders, no matter what, they will support you, as long as the money is spent, everyone has no opinion. As long as you do a good job, we will all see it. ”

Although he has not yet arrived in Hedong Pei's family. But Old Demon King Cheng already regarded Liu Yuan as his own.

"Xiaoyuan. How sure are you about this? Li Jing stared at Liu Yuan and said with a straight face.

Li Jing is observant and has read countless people, and looking at Liu Yuan's appearance, it doesn't seem like he's joking. My heart moved, and I couldn't help but ask.

Liu Yuan smiled bitterly and said: "The younger generation is not talking empty words, in fact, I really have a way." ”

This stone mountain ahead. Cause a lot of pressure to Cui Ge and others, for them, this is an obstacle, an insurmountable obstacle, if placed in the later generations, this is a golden mountain, stones can be sold for money, people who do engineering can see, both eyes are bright, now the industrial level is limited, can only be excavated, put in the later generations, directly exploded, convenient and fast, Liu Yuan was a child in his previous life, there was a small stone field on the way to school, every time he fired a cannon to blow up a stone, he would send someone to intercept people on the road, and then shouted loudly: "Shoot the artillery, fire the cannon!" Not long after, there was a loud "bang", and the scene of the gravel flying was very spectacular, and Liu Yuan immediately thought of exploding it as soon as he saw this stone field.

As long as the way of frying, it does not take ten years or eight years, it is enough for about a month, it is estimated that it is faster than digging the soil and leveling the foundation, and the stones that are blown out are just used to build highways, which is fast and convenient, and even the stones do not need to be bought, and the cost of transportation can also be saved.

Of course, there is also a method that does not require gunpowder, that is, to use the principle of thermal expansion and contraction to crack the stone, and then it can be quarryed smoothly, but the climate in Chang'an is not cold enough, and this method is also affected by the season, and it needs to be used in the cold winter, and Liu Yuan directly vetoed it.

"What's the solution?" When Cui Jing heard this, he immediately became interested.

"You are still an immortal, I don't believe it." Old Demon King Cheng also looked incredulous.

Liu Yuan said with a smile: "This matter is a bit complicated, and it is a little difficult to say, so let's just invite so many people to watch at that time." ”

Hearing this, everyone nodded again and again, patted their chests one by one, and said that they would definitely be there at that time.

When everyone returned to the first section of the cement pouring site, the cement road was watered for two or three hundred meters, and the cement that had just been poured was about seven or eight points, but there was still a little mark on it, Liu Yuan ordered people to guard it, not to step on it at will, and then told them to water three times in the morning, noon and evening, so as to better solidify, Cui Ge heard the words and agreed again and again.

Seeing that there was nothing abnormal, and also witnessed the construction of the first section of the cement road in Datang, Cheng Lao Demon King, Changsun Wuji and others left one by one satisfied, for them, now they only need to go through the motions, and they don't need to be supervised at this time, they are in a high position, Datang has a lot of official and military affairs waiting for them to deal with it.

"Hurry up, push harder"

"Come, there is less sand and gravel at this time, what should I do? Add what you want, go and get gravel and cement, you must do it well. ”

"Here, don't grind when you lay it."

Tang Jin changed his modest and cautious attitude, as if a master was instructing his apprentices, and made those people around, but also pointed out a few points, those people were not only not angry, but they all had smiles on their faces, as if the more they pointed, the happier they became.

"You see you're pretty good at commanding, right?" Liu Yuan gently kicked him with his foot and said with a smile.

Being kicked by someone, Tang Jin thought it was the masterpiece of the people, turned his head and just wanted to reprimand, when he heard his familiar voice and saw the familiar figure, a spirit, the fat face suddenly smiled and said to Liu Yuan: "Master, are you here?" ”

"It's been here a long time ago, but you're just pointing and not paying attention."

"Yes, it's the villain who is rude, please forgive the master."

The fat man just has a sense of joy, a big fat face, like a flower when he smiles, it makes people can't look at it, and Liu Yuan is also a casual person, he waved his hand to Tang Jin and said, "Okay, you clean up, just leave someone to help guide you, you take someone back with me." ”

"Where are you going?"

Liu Yuan said angrily: "Where are you going?" Naturally, I'm going back to the institute, I have more important things for you to do. ”

"Master, there's something new?" Tang Jin's face was overjoyed when he heard this, and he hurriedly asked.

Liu Yuan always has some whimsical ideas, just like this cement, which is so magical that Tang Jin can't close his mouth, for him, it is a very happy thing to have new ideas, so as soon as he heard that Liu Yuan had important things for him to do, he immediately thought of what new ideas or formulas this master had to improve by himself.

"Smart, alright, let's go." Liu Yuan praised it, and then asked him to arrange a person to guide here, anyway, it is also a very simple kung fu, outsiders will operate it after seeing it, and the others will go back and get themselves gunpowder to blow up stones.

When Tang Jin heard this, his face burst into laughter, and without saying a word, he immediately arranged to stay behind, and then followed Liu Yuan and went straight back to the research institute.

Liu Yuan spent half an hour, first introduced gunpowder to them, and then explained to them that gunpowder is made of saltpeter, sulfur and charcoal, and different proportions have different effects, and then instructed Tang Jin to do a good job of various tests one by one, and must find out the most powerful formula, Tang Jin naturally promised one by one, and would draw out the best craftsmen to study, and Liu Yuan also strengthened the security work of the research institute again, lest anyone learn this extremely important formula.

This day is really fulfilling, in the morning back to the Jinyu family to inspect it, then go to the scene of Changluo Gaodai, and then to the institute for guidance, Liu hiked for a busy day, and finally walked back to the house with the sound of bells and drums closing the city gate.

"Husband, Zhou Laoshangshu of the Ministry of Rites has been waiting in the mansion for a long time." As soon as she got home, Cui Mengyao immediately reported to him with a smile. (To be continued......)
