I was engaged in infrastructure construction in the Han Dynasty [Transmigration Book]

Chen Ajiao also came over at this time, looking at the front hesitantly said: "What is this? Stone road? Where did such a big stone come from?"

Liu Che directly stretched out his foot and stepped on it and said, "The ground is flat, which cannot be achieved by ordinary stones."

Liu Tan explained: "It's not a stone, it's made of quicklime and something."

"Lime?" Liu Che glanced at Liu Tan in surprise, and immediately had a picture of the whole road being steam rising in his mind.

No, if there is such a vision, no matter how far away it is, someone will see it, at least the embroidered clothes messenger will report it.

At first, even Liu Che mistook it as a sign of a fairy coming to the world, let alone an embroidered messenger, but Liu Che did not receive any report.

He looked at Liu Tan suspiciously, thinking that Liu Tan was also lying to him.

Liu Tan knew at a glance that Liu Che must have misunderstood, so he said, "It's really quicklime, but it's just that some things have been added, and after it's mixed and fired, adding water will stop it from smoking."

Liu Che nodded half-understood. He didn't want to understand, but he was interested in this new thing.

The most important thing is that in order to make this road more beautiful, Liu Tan planted trees on both sides of the road while Liu Che was busy, and used short shrubs to create a isolation zone in the middle, which looks very similar to the cement road of later generations. .

After walking around in place, Liu Che said, "It's pretty smooth."

But that's all. The roads in the imperial city, and even the roads in Chang'an, are not uneven. They are all rammed earth roads that have been built with great effort.

Liu Tan asked him to get into the car and said, "Leveling is only second. The most important thing is that it is strong and not easy to carry soil. If it is built in large quantities, the labor and cost will be much lower."

After Liu Che got into the car and looked out of the car window, he felt the benefits of this kind of road. First of all, it was pleasing to the eye, much better than rammed earth, and smoother than stone roads.

At this moment, he finally felt a little interest: "You said this kind of road is easy to lay and cheap?"

Liu Tan nodded, and directly explained the time it took to lay this road and the cost he spent. He had already prepared this. If he wanted to highlight the advantages of cement, he had to use these data to impress Liu Che.

After Liu Che heard this, he didn't have much reaction. He just nodded and said, "It's true that the construction period is short and not expensive."

Then there is no more, there is no such thing as promotion.

Liu Tan wondered for a moment, such an easy-to-use thing, shouldn't the emperor know that he should be happy to promote it across the country?

But soon he figured it out.

This is the Han Dynasty, not a dynasty in which Confucianism dominated later generations, and the monarchs had the world in mind.

Although Liu Che admired Confucianism, what he valued was that Confucianism could make his rule more stable.

Speaking objectively, whether Liu Che fought the Xiongnu or did other things, it was all for the stability of his rule.

As for social development, whether the people's life is convenient, whether the people are happy or not, these are all things that socialism will pay attention to.

Not to mention the current Liu Che, even the capitalist countries of later generations don't care how ordinary people live. They only care about whether they control politics and the economy.

Liu Tan calmed down a little and said, "Actually, cement may not only pave roads, but also build houses. This thing is very strong, and it should be stronger than houses made of wood or rammed earth."

Liu Che became a little interested again when he heard this: "Oh? Is it really possible?"

Liu Tan nodded: "It should be possible, but I haven't tried it yet. If I succeed in my attempt, I will build a palace for my father!"

Liu Che was amused by him: "The tone is not small, okay, I will wait."

Chen Ajiao, who was on the side, couldn't stand it anymore, and taunted Liu Che: "Your Majesty is so embarrassed that you don't even let your own son go. Your palace is worth three years of taxes. Where can Tan'er get so much money?"

Liu Che glanced at him and sneered: "You mother is not as clear as I know. My palace does cost a lot, but he also earns a lot."

When Liu Che said this, he turned to look at Liu Tan and asked, "What's the matter? Didn't you tell your mother how much money your shop makes?"

Liu Tan was a little dazed: "Huh? I don't know. I asked them to pay the bill once a month. It's not been a month yet, so maybe it hasn't been reported yet."

Liu Che raised his eyebrows in surprise. He knew that Liu Tan had been busy with other things, and he didn't care about his shop. He said he cared because Liu Tan often bought some new-style candies, and he often made What a limited edition.

A flat lacquer box filled with different kinds of candies. Even the molds for placing the candies inside are specially made according to the shape of the candies. , Once this limited edition is launched, it is basically in a state of looting.

So what if it is hundreds of times more expensive than ordinary candy?Limited edition, unique, many styles are only released once, at most ten boxes at a time, as long as there are limited editions, they will be the first to sell, but until now, Liu Tan has only released two limited editions.

It can be said that even if ordinary candy is not sold, the money he earned from these two limited editions is worth half of Liu Che's palace. If you want to build a palace, you have to continue to make money.

Chen Ajiao knew that Liu Che would never target indiscriminately, and from what he said, she knew that Liu Tan's shop should be very profitable.

She asked curiously, "You don't even know?"

Liu Tan thought for a while, then turned to ask Miao Rui to sort out the accounts, and then wait for the report.

Miao Rui was Alexander in an instant. He could read, but the accounts...who can understand this?

It was Liu Che who waved his hand and said, "No, it's yours, so don't show it to me."

Chen Ajiao was just curious that Liu Tan could make a lot of money in a short period of time, and she was not short of money, so why would she insist on looking at her son's accounts?

The matter of the cement road seems to be over like this, and it has caused a little ripple in Liu Che, because Liu Che decided to use this kind of material to pave the road of the newly built Jianzhang Palace after knowing that the cost is cheap.

Liu Tan was taken aback when he heard this, and suddenly he said with some fear: "But... besides building the chariot road, the emperor also wants to build the Fei Pavilion? You can't use cement for this."

It is better for the flying pavilion to be made of wood. After all, it is off the ground, and the supporting force must be accurately calculated.

With the development of architecture in the Han Dynasty, wooden buildings were basically considered mature. At least this request put forward by Liu Che could be realized by craftsmen.

But if cement is used, cement is heavier than wood, and steel bars may be needed for support in the air, so that the weight of the entire building will increase significantly. If the connecting plank road cannot be supported, Don't talk about Jianfei Pavilion, I'm afraid it won't be built at all.

Even if it is built without mature craftsmen, it is likely to collapse in a short time.

The Bailiang Terrace at the front foot just caught fire. Although Liu Che didn't know what method he used to suppress this incident, he didn't want to hear the news that the Fei Pavilion in Jianzhang Palace had collapsed. When the time came, Liu Che would definitely deal with him in his anger.

Liu Che was surprised: "Don't you say this thing is very good?"

Liu Tan had no choice but to say: "It's okay to make chariots, but Feige is not. There may even be problems with the road leading to Feige. After all, this is a new thing, and I haven't studied it thoroughly."

Liu Che frowned slightly: "Since this is the case, isn't it impossible to coordinate?"

Liu Tan said: "It would be simple if Dad only wanted to make the surface consistent. After the plank road of Feige is finished, it should be coated with a thin layer of cement to make it look the same as the chariot road."

Liu Che said impatiently: "That's it, send someone to the Shaofu later."

Liu Tan didn't dare to continue spinning on the cement, so he asked, "It's getting late, do you want to eat?"

Liu Che nodded without hesitation, Liu Tan raised his hand and clapped his hands, and everyone from the kitchen to the main hall was in a hurry.

Liu Che didn't have much hope for Liu Tan's food at first, and Liu Tan didn't tell him beforehand that he stayed for dinner purely to save Liu Tan's face.

It's just that when the first dish was served, he looked at the whole green vegetable standing in the center of the copper basin with some curiosity and said, "Are you asking me to eat it raw?"

Liu Tan said with a smile: "No matter how bold my son is, I dare not let my father eat raw food. This dish has already been cooked."

Liu Che took a closer look and found that the vegetable had indeed been cooked, but... just such a vegetable, oh, or can choy sum be considered a dish?

Liu Che was very suspicious that Liu Tan was perfunctory.

Liu Tan didn't explain, and watched the maid carefully carrying the copper pot, which contained the broth that had been simmering for a long time.

Talking about this soup, Liu Tan actually felt a little regretful, because he didn't find suitable seafood, so the soup was actually less flavorful to him, and in the end he could only use river fish instead, which barely added a flavor.

The maid carefully poured water from the top of the vegetable with a copper pot.

The rich flavor of the soup made Liu Che couldn't help sniffing his nose, and instantly he could tell that the soup should have been cooked with care, and it tasted a little different from the previous broth made in the palace.

It was also because of this that he felt a little less perfunctory in his heart.

Liu Che didn't realize until he saw that as the thick soup was pouring down little by little, the vegetable was hugged tightly at the beginning and then gradually loosened, and then the outer leaves began to slowly open and fall to the bottom of the basin. The leaves of this dish have been carefully trimmed, and the leaves are like flower petals after being scattered.

After the outermost vegetable leaves opened, the inner vegetable leaves also began to slowly open after being impacted by the broth.

Opening up layer by layer like this, the whole process seems like a flower is blooming little by little, and after half a vegetable in the broth, the vegetable also shows a state of full bloom.

The green vegetables at this time are like a fully blooming flower, part of the flower is soaked in the golden broth, and the other part is exposed, and there is still a little broth in the stamen.

This process is not only pleasing to the eye, but also smells mouth-watering.

By this time, the dish is completely finished.

After the maid left, Liu Tan said, "Although this dish looks light, it has a rich taste. It's perfect as an appetizer. Father, Queen, and Queen, please try it."

However, neither Liu Che nor Chen Ajiao was willing to put down their chopsticks. After a long while, Chen Ajiao said: "This dish...is a bit novel, where is it from?"

Liu Tan smiled and said: "This is a new dish made by my son. It's rare for my father to come to me this time. There must be something novel."

Liu Che had already picked up a chopstick of green vegetables at this time, and couldn't help squinting his eyes after eating them: "Well, not bad, the fragrance is delicious, not greasy nor too bland."

After finishing speaking, Liu Che looked at Liu Tan and said with a smile: "You have a lot of novelties here, it seems that I need to come here a few more times."

Liu Tan:? ? ? ? ? ?
