Daqin: Take the bamboo shoots, Zulong eavesdropped on my heart!

Feng Ji launched the road construction this time, and a total of 30 people were mobilized, and each of them was asked to do a short-term part-time job. Basically, every household got one person.

After that, he received a full three stones of grain.

Three stones, if you live frugally, it will be enough for a family of four to eat for more than a month!

They never dared to imagine such a good thing before!

As the project progressed, the first two sections of the road, one on the left and the other on the right, from Yongcheng, through Xianyang, and then to Bashang, were built first.

Of course, it must pass Feng Zheng's Chang'an Township, the main road goes through the side of Chang'an Township and leads to Bashang.

After a main road is repaired, the remaining materials can naturally be transported.

In a blink of an eye, in about half a month, the eight roads in Wangji's land were almost completed.

That's right, Wangji Batiao can be referred to as Wangba Road...

Chapter 493 Concrete?

After all, it is not the asphalt road of the later generations, and there is no one who wants asphalt at this time...

However, Feng Zheng still got a lot of sand and gravel and simple lime, mixed and mixed, and made some simple stone roads.

In this way, those who rain and snow will not be afraid.

Moreover, there were no such heavy trucks in ancient times, and they were not afraid of pressure.

After seeing such a new road, the people were all amazed.

Good guy, this is really a good guy.

Doesn't this road look peaceful?

It's so flat, it's as neat as the floor of a rich man's house.

On the day when the construction of the auxiliary road was completed, Ying Zheng personally set off from Xianyang City in a carriage and headed for Chang'an Township leisurely.

"Huh? The road is so smooth and smooth?"

Sitting on the carriage, Ying Zheng couldn't help being very curious and surprised, "I'm in the carriage, as if I were on a couch in the palace, it's very solid!"

He looked at the ground, and was even more surprised when he saw the road on the ground that was smoother than stone slabs.

How did Feng Zheng drive this road so smoothly?

Tread...  

stomping on...

There were not too many bumps along the way, and Ying Zheng's convoy arrived in Chang'an Township soon.

After all, good roads save effort.

"Your Majesty Feng Zheng, I pay my respects to Your Majesty!"

Feng Zheng had already taken Xiao He and Cao Can and his gang to wait outside Chang'an Township.

"Hehe, there is no need to be polite."

Ying Zheng laughed, "Feng Zheng, your road is really good! I didn't feel the slightest bump in my road!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Feng Zheng said with a smile, "When the road is repaired, everyone will naturally be willing to go, and the transaction will be convenient."

"Well, that's right."

Ying Zheng smiled and said, "You did a good job in this matter. By the way, besides Wang Ji, do you want to build such a road?"

"This is..."

Feng Zheng laughed and said, "Your Majesty, I haven't made this plan yet. After all, apart from Wang Ji, as long as the traffic is more convenient, it is enough to live to this extent. It is not worthwhile at the moment. "

Yes, it costs a lot!

Not only the cost of road construction itself, but also other costs must be included...

"Well, this is..."

Ying Zheng nodded and said, "The land of Wang Ji is the most important place, and the surrounding auxiliary roads, you can do as you see."

"promise."

"By the way, since we're here today, why don't we go to your dam and have a look?"

Ying Zheng smiled and said, "After I heard about it last time, I was also very curious. Today just happened to come, so let's see how your water has been cultivated."

"promise!"

【dam? 】

After hearing this, Feng Zheng said, 【I want to see how my waterwheel works, right? 】

kindness?

of course!

After hearing this, Ying Zheng said, last time you said that the power of the waterwheel can save the effort of a hundred people just by using it on a Ferris wheel. It's so amazing, I naturally want to see it for myself.

Is this water really so powerful and easy to use?

"I will lead the way for Your Majesty."

"it is good."

Immediately, Feng Zheng led the crowd, together with Ying Zheng, to the dam.

While building roads outside, Feng Zheng's Chang'an Township was not idle.

First, they also took the opportunity to build a few roads, bordering on this avenue, which also connected the entire Chang'an Township inside and out, making the traffic in the township more convenient.

Of course, he could have done these things, but it was better to do them while the court was building roads, so it would not be conspicuous.

Second, when Feng Zheng was building roads outside, the dam was built as scheduled.

After all, he left behind sketches and engineering drawings, and it was enough for the subordinates to operate according to his subordinates.

In a blink of an eye, we arrived at the Chang'an Township Dam built by Feng Zheng.

Ying Zheng was taken aback when he saw some tall and neat dams in front of him.

But it is not a small project!

Just this height, this neatness, is more like a fortification than a dam.

"Your Majesty, do you want to visit the dam?"

"it is good!"

Ying Zheng smiled and got out of the carriage.

Led by Feng Zheng, Ying Zheng slowly climbed up the embankment.

"The protection of this embankment looks similar to what you used on the road, isn't it?"

Ying Zheng looked at his feet and couldn't help saying.

"Yes, Your Majesty..."

Feng Zheng said with a smile, "Your Majesty really has good eyesight. This is all made of concrete."

"Huh? Concrete?"

Ying Zheng was taken aback when he heard this, "What kind of soil is this concrete? Why haven't I seen it before?"

"Your Majesty, this concrete is not just a kind of soil."

Feng Zheng explained with a smile, "It's made of three things mixed with water."

"Oh? Which three?"

"Your Majesty, it is one part of lime powder, two parts of sand, and three parts of crushed stone."

Feng Zheng said with a smile, "After mixing according to the ratio of one-two-three, after adding water and stirring, it will become solidified in a short time. Before it solidifies, it can be made into various shapes. After forming, it is very solid, comparable to real stone."

"Huh? Really?"

After hearing this, Ying Zheng asked curiously, "Compared to real stones?"

"Yes, Your Majesty..."

Feng Zhengxin said, 【If some steel bars are added, it will definitely be stronger than real stones and have toughness. It's a pity, unfortunately, steel is still scarce nowadays, otherwise, I would have put a lot of steel bars. 】

That's right, at this stage, although Feng Zheng has helped Ying Zheng find a huge iron mine and the method of making iron, it has also improved a lot.

However, although the total output of iron has been increased, there are still very few people who use it for non-military livelihood.

After all, Daqin's steel needs to meet military needs first.

At present, Daqin does not have very advanced iron ore mining machinery and equipment, such as mechanical quarrying equipment, which still has to rely on manpower.

It is precisely because of this that the production of Daqin Iron and Steel has increased, but not completely.

kindness?

Do you need to add some steel bars to the concrete?

Ying Zheng was taken aback when he heard this, the steel bars...

Maybe it's like a steel wire rope, and it's also a kind of steel, right?

With this thing, is it better than stone?

Huh, this is a novelty.

Ying Zhengxin said, but right now, the iron wares of Daqin, after being forged, are the first to meet the military needs.

Otherwise, Feng Zheng can give it a try.

but……

Even so, when he looked at the things under his feet, he could still feel that the things under his feet were very solid.

and!

Feng Zheng was not the first to use stones to build dams.

In the pre-Qin period, some people have already done it.

Of course, it's not exactly the same as Feng Zheng's.

After all, building a dam with stones is a very serious and important matter to consider.

That's a leak!

That's right, if you use different stones to build them together, there may be gaps in the middle no matter what!

Are these gaps still waterproof?

It's true to be able to flow...

Thinking of this, Ying Zheng suddenly had a doubt in his heart.

That is, how is the waterproof ability of this concrete dam built by Feng Zheng?

"Feng Zheng..."

Ying Zheng couldn't help asking, "I'm asking you, is it possible for you to use this concrete dam to be waterproof? There won't be any gaps or slow water leakage, right?"

Chapter 494 How can a small dam save manpower so much?

"Your Majesty, this is impossible."

Feng Zheng listened and explained with a smile, "First of all, after this material is glued and solidified, it can be tightly bonded without leaving gaps. Secondly, I actually added a layer of fine mortar between the different concretes for waterproofing. "

"Oh? Added a layer of waterproof?"

After hearing this, Ying Zheng smiled and said, "You are very careful."

"Hey, this subject is just too small-minded..."

Feng Zheng laughed.

The two stepped forward, but before they saw the middle of the dam, Ying Zheng heard a rattling sound, accompanied by a strange creaking sound.
