The Peasant Girl’s Concubine’s Name Moves the World

The Minister of Household raised his foot and walked forward.

This area is very prone to flooding in the spring and summer rainy seasons. The water conservancy plan proposed by the old man from the Ministry of Industry is really expensive!

If the money is not under his control, he doesn't want to think about how to save it!

The two walked a few steps, when Foreman Fu saw Nuan coming, he reminded the two workers, "Be careful, don't hit your feet!" Then he walked over to Nuan and said, "Master Fang, Hui'an Lord of the county."

The Minister of the Ministry stepped on the few bluestone slabs that had just been paved, and he was very at ease. He smiled and said: "Foreman Fu, you have paved the road just right, it is smooth, and you won't stumble at all! The bluestone slabs are really good. Good! How much is a piece of silver for such a good bluestone slab?"

Foreman Fu smiled: "Master Hui, this is the flattest bluestone slab. The upper and lower sides are flat, and it costs fifty cents a piece."

Hui'an County Master requires the best materials to be used, so it is more expensive.

There are also very cheap ones, such as twenty cents a piece, ten cents a piece, those are not so flat, square, time-consuming and laborious to shop!

""

Fifty cents a piece?

Princess Hui'an is really rich!

The Minister of the Ministry of Commerce looked at the long roadbed dug out. The subgrade of the road was also covered with a layer of mud ash and sand, and was compacted and flattened with huge rolling stones as a base. Then lay the bluestone slabs!

For such a short road, at least tens of thousands of bluestone slabs were built, and then labor and other materials were added. There are no three or four thousand taels, absolutely not!

The roads in the city now are not paved like this except for the road in the area of ​​the powerful and powerful!

It's really too expensive.

The Minister of the Household thought that it was impossible for Hui'an County Master to build all the roads in the outer city. Even if the cheapest bluestone slabs were used at ten yuan per piece, so many roads would cost a lot of money to build!

And the cheapest bluestone slabs are uneven, stumbling, not easy to shop, and not easy to use in the city, that is to say, at least one medium 30 cents should be used.

Minister Tobe felt a little dizzy just thinking about it.

"It's not easy to polish such a bluestone slab, isn't it?" Nuan asked.

Fifty cents a piece is cheap.

So thick and chunky!

Fu Gongtou nodded: "It's not easy, otherwise we can pave bluestone roads everywhere in Nalan. Why is there only bluestone roads in the city, it's because of trouble!"

"Actually, bluestone slabs are heavy and difficult to polish. It is time-consuming, laborious, and expensive. Is there any way to change the way to build roads without using bluestone slabs?" Warmth thought of modern roads.

I also thought of the famous Qin Zhidao, which seemed to be built with mirage ashes.

In this era, the road pressure is not as great as in modern times. After all, there are no heavy trucks, just horse carriages. The heaviest freight carriage is only a few hundred pounds!

Probably should still be bearable.

I don't know if it's warm, but I know it when I try it!

The reason why human beings have modern civilization and the development of science and technology, isn't it also because of continuous exploration and experimentation?

The Minister of the Ministry of Finance jumped with his left eye, and his left eye jumped for money!

Does this mean that Hui'an County Master has a better way to build roads?

"Does County Master Hui'an have any good ideas?" Foreman Fu knew that Nuan had to listen a lot.

She designed this road and drainage system very reasonably, even more reasonable than she thought.

No wonder the young master and the foreman in Ningyuan County complimented her.

"Actually, I don't have a good solution, that is, I have to use stones anyway. It is troublesome to polish such a large bluestone slab. I don't know if it is possible to use crushed stone mixed with yellow clay lime mortar instead of bluestone slab to lay it on it. The road should be relatively flat!" Warmth began to guide Foreman Fu to change the way the road was built.

Don't underestimate the wisdom of the ancients, there is no reason for the Great Wall to stand still.

But when it comes to roads, the roads of ancient Rome are world-famous.

As the saying goes, all roads lead to Rome!

The roads in ancient Rome were more than 400,000 kilometers long, enough to circle the earth ten times.

But the surface of the Roman road is also paved with stones, and the foundation is very good, and the foundation has four layers.

Being world-famous is not without reason.

But here is not necessary, it is more time-consuming and labor-intensive.

Foreman Fu shook his head: "No, there is probably no problem with people walking, but I am afraid that the carriage will be easily crushed and crushed, especially a horse full of goods, with a weight of several hundred pounds. Day after day, year after year. A year, it is estimated that it will be crushed after a year and a half! How can a thick bluestone slab be practical, it can be used for a hundred years!"

The minister of households nodded.

Take a look at the stone road in the city. It has been more than a hundred years since the founding of the People's Republic of China, and it is still in good use!

Thinking about it this way, a few thousand taels per road is actually quite cost-effective.

After more than 100 years of use, I don't need a single penny every day!

Warmly smiled: "The road paved with bluestone slabs can indeed be used for a hundred years, and I think it's not bad if it's paved in the city, it's practical and saves trouble! But don't you need to pave the official road?

There is a saying that Lutong Caitong is easy to go, but it brings a lot of convenience to the merchants and saves a lot of time.

If the journey can save half the time, there will be a lot of fresh goods from the north to the south to exchange! At that time, will the living standards of the people in the two places be improved by a grade? "

At this time, the emperor came back with several officials.

A group of people stood on the side and listened to the conversation of the three.

The Minister of the Ministry of Housing: "Paving the official road? No, even if the yellow mud lime mortar is mixed with gravel, the hardness should not be enough! It will quickly break down when it is paved! Isn't this a waste of money and energy?"

Fu Gongtou nodded: "These gaps for adhering the stones are feasible, after all, the stones bear almost all the weight."

The warmth continued to induce: "What if a bracket made of iron sticks was added, and then mixed with gravel to bear most of the weight?"

When the Minister of Industry heard this, he felt disdain in his heart and almost laughed out loud, but because Nalan Jinnian was by his side, he didn't dare, and just said: "Master Hui'an said to use iron? Master Hui'an, do you know how precious iron is? Do you know what the iron in Nalan is used for?"

Can iron be used indiscriminately?

Paving with iron?

Why didn't she say use gold to pave the way? !

It's just pretending that you don't understand, it's nonsense!

Hearing what Wennuan said just now, the Minister of Industry felt more and more that it was difficult to match the reputation of the Hui'an County Lord!

Those credits for her might really be given to her by King Jin in order to improve her status!

Now that she has credit for farming and military work, does she still want to make credit for paving roads and building bridges?

This is its own field!

His credit must not be robbed by others!

Not even King Jin!

Foreman Fu: "Master Hui'an, iron is expensive and difficult to extract. It is better to use bluestone than iron!"
