Chapter 746: Work Begins in the City
"Brother Wang, do you know what these people are doing?"
When the people went out after being woken up, they saw a large number of craftsmen turning over the stone slabs embedded in the ground, and they were puzzled, so they could only ask the neighbors around them who had gone out earlier.
"I don't know, but I heard that the roads in the city are going to be renovated into cement!"
The person who is called Lao Wang is also half-understood, and he is not sure.
"What? It's all made of cement? How much does it cost? ”
When the people heard this, their jaws dropped in shock.
Confused eyes, suddenly glaring at the boss.
Their family used to live in a low thatched house, and it was only after making some money in the past two years that they built the adobe house into green bricks and cement!
Now you have to use cement to build roads?
Is the imperial court so rich now?
"Who knows! I heard that before building a cement road, you have to pry all these stone slabs open and ram the roadbed! ”
"So what are you waiting for, let's help together, shall we?"
The people, who knew everything, began to help the craftsmen pry the stone slabs on the ground.
They have lived in the city for many years, and they can repair the road surface into cement, which has a lot of convenience for them, and it is also appropriate to help a little!
With the help of the people, the work of prying the stone slab and tamping the roadbed was quickly completed!
Next up is mixing concrete!
Machines definitely don't, everything is manual!
From sand and gravel ingredients to water injection and mixing, everything is done by hand!
"Everyone let go, let go, don't get in the way......!"
The people have never seen what it is like to use cement to build roads, and almost all the people in the city have come to watch, causing congestion.
So Wang Ben sent two teams of soldiers to help maintain order!
Seeing the soldiers in armor coming, the people obediently leaned back!
Everyone is just curious, there is no need to do anything because of this, and then stuff yourself in prison, but the gains outweigh the losses!
Truckloads of concrete were brought in by steam tractors, and craftsmen pushed them to the ground with shovels, flattened and finished!
"How smooth the pavement is made of cement!"
"No! This cement is not afraid of wind and sun, and it will not break for a long time! ”
"Even if it rains in the future, there will be no water on the road, and we can all set up stalls in the same way!"
"Yes! This is really a great thing for our people......! ”
While watching, the people also talked about the benefits of the cement pavement, and couldn't help but smile.
"I have a relative who works on an errand in the Tongwu Hou Mansion, and I heard that this time not only our Xianyang is going to repair the cement pavement, but even the main roads of Chidao and other counties and counties must be paved with cement!"
"What? Even Chi Road and other counties are paved with concrete roads? ”
Hearing this, the people were even more shocked.
"That's right! He really listened to it, saying that it is now in the surveying and mapping stage, and construction will start next spring! ”
"Oh my God! Chidao takes our Xianyang as the center, leading to all places, the width alone is fifty steps, if all cement is used, the cost is not greater? ”
"Yes! Therefore, our Daqin is booming! ”
"God bless me for being born in the Great Qin ......!"
When the people heard about this, they sighed.
Not to mention that other countries have not been destroyed, even if their country still exists, they may not even know what cement is, let alone use cement to pave roads!
"If the main roads in each county are built with cement, it will be much more convenient to go out in the future!"
"Yes! How cool is the carriage galloping on the smooth concrete pavement without even a little bump? ”
"When I do business in the future, I will definitely save a lot of time!"
Trains can also pull goods, but only in large quantities.
For those small traders, the most practical thing is the ox cart!
Load the car at any time and go at any time, you can go to any village to do business, it is very convenient!
Everyone watched as a truckload of mixed cement was poured into the mold placed in advance, and after it was flattened, a pole was used to push it again to level it!
The people are no strangers to cement, don't look at the cement at this time still looks soft and soft, wait until three days later, the shape is set, even if you use a hammer to smash, it is easy to smash!
There is no mechanization, everything is done by hand, so the progress of each team is not fast.
In order to prevent children from accidentally stepping on it and destroying the cement road that has not yet been shaped, Wang Ben divided the soldiers into three teams, changing shifts every four hours, and guarding these roads day and night!
During this period, Ying Zheng took advantage of his free time to change into his regular clothes and came to see it once, and he was very satisfied.
About half a month later, all the roads in Xianyang City have been completed!
This is still the result of dozens of teams!
If it is replaced by the next generation, all kinds of mechanization, dozens of squads, it is estimated that it will be completed in a day or two!
That's why people are constantly researching devices!
It's not just a little bit of work efficiency!
"Don't be exposed to the sun and keep the road wet!"
During the construction of the road, this sentence was said almost every day by Ying Feiyu, for fear that the craftsmen would forget.
"His Royal Highness the Prince, the section of Xianyang has been repaired, is there no need for the funder to share the money?"
Feng Qujian raised his eyebrows and asked.
"You think too much, the money is just taken out by the household department, and after the share of capital contribution is determined, you still have to pay for it!"
Ying Feiyu looked at him gloatingly.
"Alas!"
Feng Quji's face was deflated.
Paying out of his pocket to repair this road has already made him very distressed, and if he pays for it, he can't sleep in distress!
"If Feng Shangshu doesn't want to pay, it's okay!"
"Huh? Does His Royal Highness the Crown Prince have a way? ”
Feng Qujian immediately became interested.
"Of course!"
"Tell me about it!"
"Didn't you say it before! The roads in Xianyang City were jointly built by funders who contracted the main roads of other counties! If Feng Shangshu doesn't want to pay, as long as he doesn't contract! ”
After speaking, Ying Feiyu laughed playfully.
"What? Not contracted? How's that going to work? ”
He spent a lot of money on building this road in Xianyang City, and he had to earn it back on building the road.
"Then there is no way!"
Xiao Zhengtai shrugged his shoulders helplessly, turned around and went to work.
"Doesn't that mean you didn't say it?"
Feng Qujian stayed in place with a blank expression.
After asking about his feelings for a long time, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is using him to relieve his boredom!
Three days after the roads in the city were repaired, they were fully opened and officially opened!
The people poured out like a tide, jumping on it with joy, wanting to test the strength of the cement pavement!
In order to celebrate, Ying Zheng also deliberately brought all the civil and military officials to watch after the dispersal of the dynasty!
Stepping on the solid road, Ying Zheng was very relieved!
"From now on, the people will no longer have to worry about the muddy roads!"
While gratifying, there is also a touch of pride and pride.
If you don't know, you still think that the money is from him, and the cement is developed by him!
