Section 351 Yaozhou Straight Road [Third Update]
Zheng Xiuyan doesn't understand, when you are full of food and drink, you should rest if you are lazy.
"Your Highness, why do you have to run back to the Tiance General's Mansion, and there are not many people living in this mansion, how can it be more comfortable than the palace!"
Aunt Zheng Xiu leaned next to Li Yuanxing and asked.
Li Yuanxing didn't answer, but Cui Yingying said: "Your Highness is afraid that we will be asked!" β
"Ask, what will you ask?" Zheng Xiuyan asked curiously, and then said: "Could it be that if they ask, we have to answer." Those who are qualified to know will not ask, and those who are not qualified to know will ask in vain! β
When Zheng Xiuyan said this, Li Yuanxing couldn't help but nodded.
Cui Yingying and Li Liyuan were very surprised, but they didn't expect that Zheng Xiuyan would have such a mind.
Li Yuanxing and Wu Cao were not surprised, there were no stupid people who could be sent to the Qin Palace's mansion by the Seventh Family, only smarter.
The next day, I don't know if the news leaked from there that King Qin was going to Yaozhou, Tianyingge even stopped the regular meeting, and more than 50 officials actually asked to go to Yaozhou with Li Yuanxing.
Li Yuanxing had no choice but to formally invite the officials to accompany him.
The first stop to rest, right on the edge of the Jing River.
Li Chun trotted all the way up to meet him, followed by two officials from the Ministry of Industry. In terms of duties, the officials of the Ministry of Industry are definitely higher than Li Chun, but Li Chun has the token of the Qin Wangfu in his hand, and the officials of the Ministry of Industry regard themselves as deputies.
"Your Highness, the craftsman has calculated, the bridge deck can be as wide as fifteen zhang, one hundred and eight main arches, three hundred and sixty-six small arches, I only ask His Highness to give an extra 50,000 catties of cement." Li Chun is not young anymore. When he said this, he rubbed his hands and blushed a little: "It would be better if His Highness could give an extra 100,000 catties!" β
Li Yuanxing smiled, turned around and introduced to the officials: "This is the person who is qualified to get a first-class master master as mentioned by this king. The king gave him the opportunity to prove himself, to repair the bridge, and then there was a big project, if he finished. This king will ask the royal brother for the honor of a master craftsman! β
"Your Highness, a long bridge fifteen zhang wide and nearly two hundred zhang long is rare in the world, so it is naturally a proof!" Cui Junsu said on the side.
Wang Jishan asked at this time: "Old decay is not talented." Such a wide bridge and a bridge five zhang wide. The consumption of materials and labor is more huge, and listen to the craftsmen of the Ministry of Industry, the bridge is more than one zhang wide, and the difficulty is several times, and the bridge is fifteen zhang wide. Hundreds of times more difficult than ordinary bridges. Where does this pay off? β
"At capacity!" Li Yuanxing replied very simply.
How much is the benefit of capacity. Li Yuanxing doesn't need to explain, Wang Jishan will explain to him if he doesn't understand.
Li Yuanxing pointed to the construction site in the distance: "Go and see!" β
The garden above the Jing River is full of messy sound of knocking stones, Ding Dingdang. Countless boulders were lifted onto the construction site. As far as the eye can see, there are at least 30,000 people working here.
Li Chun used the water blocking method.
It is to first put the river from both sides of the river with sacks loaded with sand and gravel to block the water, so that the water flow from the middle of the river channel, the bridge body on both sides has appeared, the south bank of the river has thirteen big arches, the north bank of the river also has six big arches, according to this arch Li Chun's engineering volume has been completed more than forty percent.
The most difficult thing is not the arch, but the connection point where the two sides connect to the shore.
"200,000 catties of cement, give you 5,000 catties of stainless steel bars. Before the end of April, the king will see the bridge, and in another month, he will send five thousand slave laborers. On the fifth day of the fifth month of May, this king wants to try the bridge! β
Li Yuanxing's tone was a little more stern.
"The little craftsman will do it!" Li Chun was also ruthless, the design of this bridge he only improved according to the actual situation of the river, the fundamental design is still from the Qin Palace, the design is really ingenious, but also gave Li Chun a huge inspiration, Li Chun asked himself if he can't complete this bridge, how to be worthy of His Royal Highness King Qin.
Li Yuanxing turned around and asked again, "Has Li Chun's family picked it up?" β
"Back to Your Highness, I've taken it back." The official from the Ministry of Industry replied: "A courtyard has been arranged by the Jing River. β
"Ordered the medical officer to order a way for Li Chun to eat and supplement, and give him at least one chicken every day so that he can eat well and not get sick from exhaustion. On the fifth day of the fifth month of May, this king came to inspect the bridge! β
The officials of Tianying Pavilion know literature, painting, poetry, people's livelihood, some economy, and even a few know a little bit about cooking. But there is no one who really understands the bridge, but two officials who used to work in the Ministry of Industry know a little about it, and these two have become the docents of the officials of Tianying Pavilion.
How good is Lutong?
Wang Jishan smiled and asked: "Your Highness, this road is also thought to be extremely heavy, but I don't know how heavy it is?" "When Wang Jishan said heavy, he meant important, important and so on.
Li Yuanxing said with a smile: "If the road can be repaired to Lingnan, then those magical fruits in Lingnan will still be fresh in Chang'an in three days." I don't know if Wang Lao has a good mouth? β
Wang Jishan haha smiled, and those in high positions could just point to it.
If you can transport fruits from Lingnan in three days, then you can transmit information and official documents within two days. Datang's control over the surrounding area will be strengthened, which is a big deal. It's just that Wang Jishan still wants to see the most real benefits of this road.
At the urging of Wang Jishan, the officials ate some dry food and continued on the road.
The road, still the old road, the new road over there was paved with gravel, guarded by two sergeants every hundred paces, and no one was allowed to approach.
The brigade walked slowly, and only walked more than 100 miles in the afternoon.
At this time, a young attachΓ© suddenly shouted: "New road, there is new road!" β
This shout made the whole team speed up a lot.
Here, 60 miles away from Yaozhou, there are more than 50,000 people on the ten-mile-long construction site.
Every group of eight people, each with a long rope in their hands, pulled up a flat stone the size of a grinding plate, and eight people used force at the same time, and the flat stone was pulled off the ground, and then smashed down heavily, pressing the gravel firmly.
Just looking at the smooth gravel pavement makes people happy.
"This new road is really extraordinary!" Cui Junsu praised.
The person in charge here is Cui Dunli, who saw the convoy and the banner of King Qin from a distance, and he greeted him, just when he heard Cui Junsu's comments, he replied with a smile: "Cui Shangshu said that he laughed, if the road is like this, then he will be pulled by His Royal Highness the King of Qin to cut off his head, and only the roadbed is treated here, and ten miles forward is the formed road surface." β
"There will be amazement?" Cui Junsu asked with a smile.
"It will shock Brother Junsu!" Cui Dunli responded with a smile.
"Please come with Brother Li!" is the same Cui's, although one is the Qinghe Cui's and the other is the Boling Cui's, but they are the same root.
The two have no hatred, and it is no longer a matter of the past few years to fight for the authenticity of the Cui family, it can be said that they have been fighting for thousands of years. The two got into the car together, and even Wang and Shan sat up, and they wanted to listen to Cui Dunli talk about the road first.
The history of the Qin Wangfu is on the third grade, and the same level as the Shangshu, this is a big member.
Let such a senior official personally supervise this road, one can think of the importance that King Qin attaches to this road.
Ten miles ahead, the convoy suddenly slowed down, and everyone's eyes lit up.
Is this the real way?
The road is forty-five zhang wide, and there is a 15 zhang straight road in the middle, on which there is a straw paving, and there are people sprinkling water on it. They didn't understand why they did this, and they knew that now was not the time to ask, so everyone watched silently.
In the middle of each eighteen zhang straight road, there is a row of half-foot-high stones separating it, which everyone does not understand.
On both sides, there was a foot of loose soil, and no one knew what it was for, and beyond that, there were some black roads, and on the outermost side of the road there was a farmer planting trees.
"Keep moving!" Cui Dunli shouted.
The officials of the Heavenly Pavilions were looking forward to it, because he knew that this was not the road that had already been completed.
About ten miles ahead, here is already twenty miles away from Yaozhou.
The truly finished pavement is presented to the public.
The straight road is forty-five zhang wide, the left and right lanes are eighteen zhang each, and the two sides are planted with shrubs one zhang wide. Li Yuanxing called this a green belt, and further out, there was a black road surface more than two zhang wide, and then three rows of poplar trees were planted outside, many of which were just small branches.
Officials naturally know that within three years, this place will be full of greenery.
"Everyone!" Li Yuanxing personally stood up: "The road is divided into left and right, and the carriage goes on the right." Naturally, there is no worry about collision between the oncoming and outgoing vehicles, and the car can let go of the acceleration. There is a separation in the center of the road, and there will be no carriage coming from the opposite side going the wrong way. This is a gravel paving, and then paved with cement, separated by a finger-wide wooden strip every three zhang, although it is a substitute, but it can also be used for three or five years. When the time comes, after the wooden strips are removed, there will inevitably be more haode filling! β
Why padding and why not just paving.
Li Yuanxing did not explain, and no one could understand the explanation.
"There are trees, which can block the wind and sand, and the road surface will not be covered by water and soil, so that the road can be used for a long time!"
Li Yuanxing walked to the path on both sides of the black whirring: "This place can be used for pedestrians to walk, and it can also be used for the convoy to rest." No car is allowed to park on the straight, and an open space will be set up every twenty miles as a rest area, and some shops can be hired to sell some food and drink, repair carriages, etc.! β
"Your Highness, you said that one day Luoyang. Such a good road, the old man believes it! β
Li Yuanxing also smiled: "Then let this king show it more interesting." Please pick out the three knights Haode, let them hurry to ten miles away, take a token, this king will send someone to get it, how about testing this new road? β
"Very good!"
Wang Jishan took out a piece of his own jade pendant and handed it to a knight, these three knights led the team of Cui Dunli's guards, and the other two were Wang Jishan and Cui Junsu's personal entourage, the three of them took the first step and the horse went first, they took the straight road, such a good horse galloped up, and the distance of ten miles was calculated in modern time, ten minutes was enough.
On Li Yuanxing's side, a strong guard took down a wooden box from the carriage and carried out an eighteen-speed road race bicycle that Li Yuanxing bought from Hyundai, which was worth more than 100,000 yuan in Hyundai.
"Let this king see how fast you are!" Li Yuanxing said to the guard. (To be continued......)
PS: The third update, will there be any surprises, please look forward to it......
