Chapter 42: Cement, Wonders

In the end, cement still gave its strength once and successfully saved Li Kang's face.

The effect of cement is naturally leveraged, and several "Hercules" picked up the hammer and beat it in turn, and there were two results:

First, the Hercules all suffer from tremor of the arms;

Second, there are a few more white marks on the cement slab, and a few chips have collapsed, but it is still straight.

The result was a jaw drop.

After the shock, there was naturally infinite joy.

"With this sharp weapon, He City cannot be built, and the heroic city built by millions of people cannot be broken!" Because he wanted to see Li Kang deflated - when the two discussed urban planning, Yu Wenkai was often deflated by Li Kang's shocking remarks - and Yu Wenkai, who came to join in the fun, instantly changed his face in front of the iron-like facts, and praised with his beautiful hair.

"What Mr. An Le said is very true, and the wall is indestructible to be poured with cement. Qin Han, who was standing on the side, agreed.

"Yes, yes!"

"It's not an exaggeration to say that it's a one-man affair..."

“......”

At first, he said something serious, but the more he said it, the more exaggerated it became, and it was completely incidental.

"Who said I was going to build a city wall?" Li Kang poured cold water on him.

Suddenly, the sycophants who had already spoken half of them stopped abruptly, and the sycophants that were about to say that they had not yet spoken were all stuffed back into their stomachs.

Coughing awkwardly, excreting the accumulated stuffiness, it was only then that everyone remembered to ask their doubts.

As the current leader of the Construction Division, Wang Dafu first asked: "Lord, if the cement is not used to repair the city, it is ......."

“... Build roads!" glanced at Wang Dafu, and Li Kang said lightly.

Road?

[This is indeed planned by the lord a long time ago, no wonder the lord deliberately avoided the materials for road construction at that time, not to mention, he was waiting here. 】

Despite this, many people still have a lot of nostalgia for the city walls, and they are both civil and military.

"My lord, the road can be replaced by other materials, but there is no better way to repair the city than cement. I hope the lord will think twice!" Zhao Siye persuaded earnestly.

"Lord, the road can be put aside for the time being, but the city wall is a necessary thing, why does the lord give up the basics?" Qi Yu was not as euphemistic as Zhao Siye, and directly said that Li Kang was wrong.

Li Kang frowned a little unhappily, [What do you mean by me giving up my roots?

However, he also knows the significance of the city wall to the ancients, it is no exaggeration to say that the city wall is a haven for the ancients, without the city wall, they will feel like a yellow flower girl who has been stripped of her pants, panic all day long, without the slightest sense of security. This is also the reason why Li Kang immediately asked them to fence after summoning civilians for the first time, even if it was only symbolic. Even now, Xin'an Town is not surrounded by a circle of wooden ties!

So Li Kang didn't spray back because he was unhappy.

"Lord, there is no hurry to build the road, but the city wall is imminent, and the wooden fence outside the town is not enough to calm everyone's hearts. The natives of the south seem to be docile, but they are not of my race, and their hearts must be different, and they need to be precautioned, and the barbarians of the north are eyeing each other like thorns in their backs. Now it is a situation surrounded by a group of nights, and we have not completely ignored these strengths, we can't take it lightly, but the preparations that should be made are not ready, and now that we have a sharp weapon such as cement to build a city, why abandon it?"

Li Kang was a little confused, and he found that he did take it for granted.

At first, he thought that they had to build the city wall just because they were tired of the complex, but now it seems that this is not the main reason, but Xin'an Town really needs the protection of the city wall. And there is an urgent need!

The continuous outing of the caravans, and the 'huge' volume of trade, must arouse the greed of some people, and perhaps the bandits who have come to rob are already on their way.

Compared with the safety of Xin'an Town, the so-called "advanced" concept of "if you want to get rich, build roads first" is completely a fart!

Thinking of this, Li Kang broke out in a cold sweat! He was still influenced by his modern identity, and he was born with a sense of superiority, and he always felt that his ideas were right, and he preconceived that other people's thinking was backward and short-sighted.

Yes, the city wall restricts the development of the city, and it will be eliminated! But under what circumstances does that have to happen? During the Republic of China, the city wall was still in play! What qualifications did he have to scoff at this old ancestor who had been using it for thousands of years? Doesn't this mean that he is too arrogant?

There is also road repair, in the current business environment, can only be in the form of businessmen to walk the streets and alleys of the sales, no matter how good the road repair is not needed for the time being, it is better to say that the road is just to meet their delicate feet!

This is a self-inflicted humiliation!!

Seeing that the lord was scolded and stunned, Zhou Bi stood in place at a loss.

Yang Pingwei coughed dryly, and tentatively played a round field: "Can you be a fellow practitioner on the wall and the road?"

"Needless to say!" Li Kang took a deep breath and said, "Zhou Bi's reminder is just in time, the road construction is delayed, and the city wall is repaired first!!"

Alas, some are busy!

"Zhou Bi!" Li Kang suddenly shouted.

Zhou Bi was startled, thinking that Li Kang was going to treat him, he couldn't help beating a drum in his heart, and shouted: "My subordinates are here!"

"Zhou Bi advised merit and rewarded the first style of "Broken Jade Fist". ”

“...... Zhao Siye and Qi Pre each rewarded a peacock jade. ”

The three of them thanked each other without mentioning it, and Li Kang, who was once again proven to have made a mistake in decision-making, waved his hand and left, "Dafu, Anle, you come together to discuss the construction of the city." ”

[Why do they all speak so impulsively? Is it because I usually act too easy-going and not majestic enough?Or does it happen that they all have the qualifications of direct ministers?] Li Kang was a little confused.

......

Two small fishing boats drift side by side on the river, and a large fishing net is caught in the middle of the fishing boat, spilled into the river, and is carried by the fishing boat all the way across.

From time to time, the river water is like boiling water, tumbling and steaming, and the fishing boats on both sides are laughing proudly at the same time, and they are in high spirits.

The big river is the final confluence of the small river, across the north of Xin'an Town, more than 40 miles away from the town, the river is broad and vast, standing on the bank can only faintly see the shadow of the trees on the opposite bank, and the narrowest place is not less than hundreds of meters, the river runs into the East China Sea from west to east. It was affectionately named "Big River" by Li Kang.

At this time, the two fishing boats that were fishing on the big river were naturally the fishing boats of Xin'an Town.

On one of the fishing boats, two bald young men with newly grown hairy stakes are helping another young man pack up his fish with a compliment.

"Yo, I said Wu Ying, boy, is directing your eldest grandson to work again?" At this moment, the fisherman on another fishing boat suddenly quipped at this side.

"Yes, yes! I envy you!"

"If you can't envy it, who will make our lives bad, we don't have such a filial grandson!"

"Go, go, you will be jealous! Beware of capsizing!" The young man who was teased was smug with a look of "I have a good grandson and I am proud."

And the strange thing is that being so "slandered" by others, the two parties were not angry at all, just smiled shyly, and the movements of their hands were not slow at all.

It turned out that these two were named Wu Xiong and Wu Fan, and they were a pair of brothers with the same father and mother, the elder brother was twenty-eight years old, the younger brother was twenty-five years old, and the one named Wu Ying was only twenty-seven years old.

But why do others say that the two brothers Wu Xiong and Wu Fan are Wu Ying's eldest grandsons?

Because they are indeed grandparents!

This is exactly what would have happened in a situation that would have never been possible with common sense.

Grandfather Wu Ying was a Tan people along the Lingnan coast during the Chongzhen period of the Ming Dynasty, and his grandson Wu Xiong and Wu Fan brothers were Tan people on the Lingnan coast during the Kangxi period of the Qing Dynasty.

They were summoned by Li Kang one after another, but they were not the same batch.

So how did they recognize each other?

Because the Wu brothers were summoned together with their father, the son of Wu Ying's "old man".

At that time, the father and son met across time and space, and it was a sensation!

An old man with gray hair and a face full of vicissitudes knelt down in front of "Old Man Wu" on the street, emotional and tearful.

And "Old Man Wu" was almost scared on the spot, knelt down and kowtowed, begging the old man in front of him to get up.

But later, after the father-son relationship between the two was determined, the old man was unusual, suddenly burst out, pointed at his son's nose and scolded, listened carefully, it turned out that he scolded him for disrespecting his ancestors and shaving his hair at will, and the scene was almost out of control.

This kind of eternal spectacle that mortals must not see, almost everyone's attention is firmly attracted, even Li Kang is no exception, the probability of this father and son reuniting in another world across the long river of time and space is really small and infinitely close to zero, what kind of luck must this have to happen against the sky? It's just a fantasy!

But taking this opportunity, Li Kang took the opportunity to order all Qing Dynasty immigrants to shave their hair, and he had long been unhappy with the pig's tail. Actually, he wanted everyone to shave their hair - mainly for hygiene - but he knew it wouldn't work, so he did it.

As a result, the "father and son reunion" incident has become the hottest topic in the town, and has become everyone's leisure conversation, and even the popularity has continued to this day.

No, a bunch of bad friends are joking about it again.
