Chapter 800 Concrete Road! (1)

Chapter 800

"Buy, buy, buy! All the lime, clay, sand, stone, and other strands of ore, buy them all for me and send them over! We will give him as many people as he wants! We will give him as much as he wants! Definitely Let Wang Chong and the Wang family owe us a favor."

In a small aristocratic family in the west of the city, the head of the aristocratic family over forty years old roared like thunder.

"What? Risk? Are you afraid that the dignified Wang family won't be able to pay back the money? Don't say anything else, think about how much those Uzi steel swords are now, and now you can't buy them even if you have money. Are you still afraid that he will pay you back?" Can't afford the money?"

In the largest Shenyuan sword building in the east of the city, Zhao Jinling, the owner of the building, spattered his saliva and sprayed blood on the head of several elders who opposed him.

"Go, go, pull all the people in our family that can be mobilized to me, and those bastards born to the third and fourth, let me idle all day long, and send them all to me! Do you know the Zhou family in the west of the city? , Nine of the ten elders have been sent out, lest they be left behind. They can even send out the elders, so what are we waiting for! The first to eat meat, the second to eat! Shit!"

In the Huang family in the north of the city, the head of the house, Huang Sha, has always had a bad temper. This time, the sound of anger made the roof of the entire mansion blow off, and everyone fled away in fear.

The Zhao family, Bai family, Guo family, Chai family, etc. in the capital, these ancient families of the Tang Dynasty also sent out their masters one after another. All the forces mobilized one after another because of the letter Wang Chong sent to Zhao Jingdian from Wushang. stand up.

When all these aristocratic families gather together and operate like a huge machine, the energy is extremely amazing.

All the lime, clay, sand, stone, and strands of ore, like a torrent, gathered from all directions and were transported to the capital Zhao Jingdian. It's just a small order, and Zhao Jingdian has gathered at least 100,000 craftsmen in his hands.

I'm afraid Wang Chong failed to do this when Wushang was building the city of steel.

Compared to Wushang, which is remote and uninhabited, the capital city is much more convenient.

...

Three days later, at the beginning of the capital leading to the Western Regions, Zhao Jingdian was dressed in uniform, surrounded by masters sent by countless aristocratic families.

The plan has already started, and everyone is looking forward to this "concrete road" that they have never heard of before, and they all want to see what is true and false in it.

"Get ready!"

Zhao Jingdian looked serious,

With one order, the next moment, hundreds of craftsmen gathered on both sides of the road. According to the practice that has been practiced countless times in advance, first put lime, clay, and strands of ore, and then pour sand, stone, and quickly according to the proportion and water, Then stir it up.

Under the strange eyes of countless people, these craftsmen first paved the mixed "mud" thickly on the long road, then added a layer of gravel, stones, and then one by one. Thick rebar for fingers surrounded by wire, followed by a final coat of mud.

Waiting for all this to end, there was an asphalt-colored mud road more than ten inches high in front of everyone.

"Is this the end?"

A child of the Zhang family in the capital looked at this scene with astonishment on his face. He has heard the "concrete road" mentioned countless times, and he can say anything about this "concrete road".

Some say that this road can breathe fire at night, some say that this road is equipped with wheels and can move around, and some say that this road is filled with gold and silver, so it will shine at night.

It's just that no one thought that this time-consuming and labor-intensive "cement road" that has attracted countless aristocratic families in the capital to follow the wind is so ordinary.

It's as simple as just pasting a few layers of blue mud and then placing two steel bars!

It is really disappointing to waste such high expectations and expend so much energy of everyone from various aristocratic families, and finally get such a thing.

"Haha, of course it's not over yet. If any of you want to quit, it's still too late. Our son has already said that we will never stop anyone who wants to quit. All the money you invest in it, we can all Refund you in full."

Zhao Jingdian laughed.

In an instant, there was a dead silence all around, and the dissatisfied masters from various aristocratic families seemed to have their mouths sewn shut tightly, refusing to say a single word. Just kidding, whether it is lime, clay, ore, or sand or stone, they are all the cheapest things. It is like taking countless manpower and material resources and multiplying this number by ten times, it is also a "little money".

There is nothing more cost-effective in the world to be able to spend such a small amount of money to establish a relationship with the Wang family. As for the mud, hmph, even if it's all soil, it doesn't matter if it's all unusable. Which aristocratic family with some background would care about this. Just spend money to buy a ticket.

Moreover, although I didn't feel it at the beginning, no matter what it is, as long as thousands of aristocratic families participate in it, it becomes an important existence that no aristocratic family can ignore. As for the purpose of gathering in the first place, it doesn't matter.

Whoever withdraws at this time will be the enemy of all, and will be excluded by all the families. It's nothing in a short period of time, but if things go on like this, if this family is always excluded from other families, it will probably decline. Conversely, if all the aristocratic families hold together, then in the future, every aristocratic family can benefit from it.

This is why the Zhao family and the Bai family in the capital city, even though they knew that Wang Chong took their money to build the road, they still wanted to intervene in the end. Other families rely on the Zhao family and the Bai family, and the Bai family and the Zhao family can also borrow the strength of other small families to achieve greater development, and at the same time increase the influence of the Zhao family and the Bai family in each family.

"Master Zhao, why should you be serious? I'm just joking."

"That's right, that's right. It's just talking, how can we really retreat!"

"The young Hou has no plan left. There must be a reason for what he decides. How can we doubt Lord Hou?"

"Lord Zhao calm down, I just made a slip of the tongue, slip of the tongue, I apologise, I apologise..., this time we 'cement road', we double the gold and silver."

...

A group of people looked embarrassed and hurried to accompany them. There are a few quick-talking ones who can't help but want to slap their own mouths. He only wanted to have fun for a while, but in the end he angered Mr. Zhao.

"Oh, since it's a slip of the tongue, I'll pretend I haven't heard of it."

Zhao Jingdian smiled lightly, and didn't bother with him. Wang Chong had already said that for these actions, too many aristocratic families were called together, and there were too many people talking, so it was definitely not easy to manage. With his honest personality, he may be uncontrollable, so I hope he can be tougher.

From the current point of view, the effect is not bad.

"Old Chen, let's start!"

Zhao Jingdian quickly turned his head and gestured to a wrinkled and experienced foreman in his fifties beside him. The next moment, a heavy layer of lime was sprinkled on the newly built "mud road", quickly absorbing the water in the "mud road".

This is the method explored by these craftsmen. Under normal circumstances, it will take at least several hours for these mud roads to harden. Using lime powder to spread the road after the event can absorb the water inside and speed up the hardening process. After all, with so many aristocratic families, it is impossible to really wait here for so long without doing anything.

"Okay!"

Seeing the lime powder getting wet quickly, Zhao Jingdian waved his hand to stop everyone. The next moment, Zhao Jingdian stood with his hands behind his back, standing at the front of the crowd, staring at the asphalt-colored mud road, motionless. His expression was calm and calm.

If Zhao Jingdian didn't speak, the others would be silent and dare not say more. With the previous "ruins of the past", everyone knew to some extent that Mr. Zhao, who looked young, was far from being easy to deal with on the surface.

Time passed slowly, and even with lime powder spreading to speed up water absorption, this mud road was not so easy to dry. After about half an hour, the asphalt mud road finally slowly turned pale and hardened.

"alright!"

Looking at the completely hardened mud road in front of him, Zhao Jingdian finally showed a smile in his eyes:

"Everyone, countless manpower, material resources, and financial resources have been spent on you, and you have collected a huge amount of lime, clay, strands of ore, sand, and stones. These are the cement roads that Lord Hou told you."

Looking at the blue and white road in front of him, Zhao Jingdian felt a strong sense of accomplishment in his heart. After spending such a long time, the first cement road mentioned by Master Hou finally appeared.

"Buzz!"

On the other side, as soon as Zhao Jingdian's voice fell, the crowd immediately buzzed, and everyone whispered to each other. Contrary to what Zhao Jingdian expected, a pair of eyes looked at the blue and white road, although he didn't say it clearly, but there was a look of suspicion in his eyes.

"Lord Zhao, forgive me. This mud road... No! It's a cement road. I've lived all my life in the world, and I've seen a lot of things. I really don't understand. What are the benefits of this cement road, my lord?"

An old man in his fifties and sixties with a gray beard walked out of the crowd hesitantly:

"In addition, if it's just for road construction, you can directly find some villagers and folks, and use some pebbles and gravel, which will have the same effect. And, I'm afraid it will be more economical, right?"

Zhao Jingdian glanced back and recognized at a glance that this was Xie Gufeng, the elder of the Xie family in the capital, who was considered influential among various aristocratic families. As soon as Xie Gufeng opened his mouth, it really caused a chain reaction in the crowd, a group of people buzzed and started talking in low voices.

Although he didn't dare to go too far, but as far as Zhao Jingdian could see, he saw many people nodding secretly, obviously they all thought what Xie Gufeng said was reasonable.

"Heh, Mr. Xie asked a good question! Come here, bring the things up!"

Zhao Jingdian smiled lightly, as if he had expected this scene, he waved his hand abruptly towards the distance. Soon, the wheel wheel, two handsome dragon-like horses, pulled a strange huge carriage and drove over from outside. It is strange because unlike ordinary carriages, this carriage does not have a roof, but a boxy, open-to-the-air carriage body, and the carriage body is several times larger than ordinary carriages.

Generally, carriages rarely use this kind of body. Not only that, if you look carefully, you will find that all the wooden rafters of this carriage are still the original color of wood, and they haven't even been painted, which means that this carriage has just been built.
