If you want to get rich, build roads first!"

This is true not only for modern people, but also for ancient people.

Otherwise, it would not be said that so-and-so city is a traffic artery.

In ancient times, there were only two ways of transportation, water and land, and the waterway depended on whether God had rivers and lakes.

On the other hand, the land route can be controlled by itself.

In the land of one county and one government, whether the road is repaired well or not must be directly counted into the achievements of the local officials.

And those rich people make money, and the best way to earn fame is also to pay for the construction of bridges and pavement.

The importance of the road can be seen in all of this.

The cinder road that Tang Ping and Li Yuanji made some time ago has already made Li Shimin very satisfied, and it has even been promoted in major cities in Datang.

Now I heard that Tang Ping has a new way of paving the road, and the road made is no worse than the stone road, and the speed is about the same as the cinder road.

Naturally, they all want to come and see.

This time, Tang Ping planned to build a road leading to Chang'an from Shanghe Village, this section of the terrain is flat, and now Shanghe Village, Xiahe Village and Chang'an come and go frequently, the past road is no longer applicable.

Even the paved cinder road is also a little crowded.

I heard that it was to build a road for my village, and the villagers of Shanghe Village had to go on their own, and they also said that they should do this kind of work by themselves.

Tang Ping looked at them, and that's it, they can do it themselves if they want to.

The route has already been reported to the Ministry of Industry, and next to the original old road, one long bamboo pole after another is held by the children in the village.

The men in Shanghe Village put up a mold on the side, and the babies leaned the bamboo pole on it, so that another mold was placed on the other end of the bamboo pole, and the distance between the two molds was just right.

The work of mixing concrete, without the use of manpower, was changed by Tang Ping by the waterwheel used as a mill by the river, and now the cement, gravel and river sand are being mixed together.

Then someone shoveled the mixed concrete behind the ox cart.

When the cart was filled, and with a whip, the ox walked towards the place where the mould had been set up.

At the back of the place, the body flap was released, and the concrete was poured out while driving the oxen.

There is also a cow on each side of the mold, pulling a large roller with the same width as the road surface, and when the concrete falls, it will then use the roller to smooth the road.

Grind it, scrape it, run it again, and a section of the road is paved.

Li Shimin and Duan Lun have never seen such a way of paving, in just one morning, they paved two miles long.

In this way, the road of more than ten miles was paved in a few days.

The ministers who came with Li Shimin are all you look at me, I look at you, I don't know what to say.

You must know that this is the people of a village, if the Tang Dynasty is willing, Chang'an can gather 100,000 people.

As long as the cement pipe is enough, it won't take long to build a hundred-mile avenue.

"Tang Ping, how long will it take to use this road?" Li Shimin looked at the straight cement road with some expectation.

Tang Ping looked at the sun: "I'm afraid it will take about 20 days, and someone has to water and maintain it from time to time to ensure humidity."

After all, it is not fast-drying cement, ordinary concrete takes 28 days, and the recent hot weather, this time can be slightly shortened by a few days.

"Why do you want to split it into sections?" Duan Lun looked at the cement road that had been paved, and pointed to a thin wooden board inserted on it without intervals.

"That's because it's not yet the hottest time, so it's so separated that the road won't burst out when it's hot, and when it rains, it's more conducive to drainage."

It will definitely be impossible for Tang Ping to guard the road in the future, so he called Duan Lun and the people from the Ministry of Industry to come, and handed over this method of paving the road to them.

Although infrastructure construction can provide a large number of employment opportunities, it also consumes a lot of funds.

It is also the recent significant increase in Datang's fiscal revenue that dares to do so.

"But it's not without its drawbacks!" Tang Ping had to explain these things clearly in advance: "If a horse runs on such a road, it will hurt the horse's hooves."

After all, when the road surface is hard, the horse's hooves will have a greater force to step on and feed back, which is indeed a great damage to the horse's hooves.

"That's a problem!" Li Shimin nodded, in addition to civilian construction, there is also a military one.

With such a flat road, it is easy to pull a cart, but if the horse's hooves are injured, then whether the cavalry needs to use such a road or not, you need to consider it.

"If my Datang can have your kind of pickup, there should be no problem running on this kind of cement road."

Li Shimin could see at a glance that this

(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)

The most suitable kind of road is Tang Ping's kind of pickup.

Because he himself has ridden it a few times, and the smoother the road, the faster the pickup will drive.

"So today I want to ask my uncle to see my new car." Tang Ping smiled and pointed in the direction of Shanghe Village: "But let's go eat first!"

"Cars?" Li Shimin was shocked, he knew that Tang Ping's pickup was a kind of car, but he didn't expect Tang Ping to be able to build a car in Datang?

"You bastard, you have this kind of good thing, it's still hidden, let's take a walk, take us to see it."

As for eating, young people can starve you to death if they eat a little late.

Tang Ping regretted it, he had known that he would have eaten first and then talk about this matter, but fortunately, he knew that there were many people today, and Xiaoluo could prepare a hot pot for everyone at noon today.

After a while, I didn't start the fire, and I wasn't afraid that the food would be cold.

took a few people to the workshop in Shanghe Village, the territory of the Wang Tieniu brothers.

Knowing that His Majesty might come back today, the two brothers Wang Tieniu worked a big night shift last night, and they couldn't let their proprietor lose face in front of His Majesty.

When Tang Ping led people in, the two were still snoring on the floor in the corner.

"Let them rest first, you can take me to see it!" Li Shimin stopped Tang Ping, who wanted to wake up the two.

The others didn't dare to make a sound when they saw this, they didn't see that His Majesty didn't plan to wake up the two, and those who could follow all knew the status of the two brothers Wang Tieniu in Tang Ping.

Tang Ping led them to the back, where the prototype of a vehicle had been assembled with a steam engine.

But it still looks ugly, a big steam engine in front of the carriage, connected to the front wheels of the car with a propeller shaft.

To put it simply, this is a front-wheel drive vehicle, which Tang Ping and his colleagues copied from the 1881 Speed, and this car is the first time that the control of the boiler, engine and the vehicle itself are concentrated in the driver's seat, making the operation of the car much easier.

The driver's seat has been installed, but there is no glass installed in the back, so in Tang Ping's opinion, it is not a complete car.

But all the Tang monarchs and ministers were stunned.
