Chapter 802 Mission Rewards, the Road to Awakening!
Chapter 802
[Haha, good news, this month's big explosion event will start soon, everyone, quickly open Weibo, search for Huangfuqi, follow and actively participate. Eight or ten more outbreaks, it all depends on everyone! Ho ho! 】
"Everyone..."
Zhao Jingdian smiled calmly and said calmly:
"Don't worry, this kind of thing will never happen. The young master has ordered before leaving that after the successful construction of this cement road, we only need to set up checkpoints on it, open to all business travelers, and only charge them a certain amount. The transit tax will do.”
"Our Tang Dynasty was the most prosperous in the world. I am afraid that no one can count how many business travelers there are in the world and how many people pass by every day. If you accumulate a little, you will make a lot. It is extremely huge, so what you are worried about, it will never happen that the predecessors plant the tree, the descendants enjoy the shade, and others pick the fruit."
In the world before Wang Chong, the construction of cement roads required a lot of financial and material resources, and it was a custom to charge a certain toll after the construction was completed, which was accepted by everyone.
This is perfectly normal in another world, but in Datang, everyone obviously does not have this concept.
Sure enough, after Zhao Jingdian said this, everyone's eyes lit up, completely different from the previous hesitation.
"Great idea! But are they going to pay for it?"
A master of a family.
"Hehe, if they can transport more things in a shorter time without being so bumpy, why don't they want to?"
Zhao Jingdian smiled and said that Wang Chong didn't even need to mention it this time, he already knew how to deal with it.
Businessmen pursue profit, as long as there is profit, those business travelers will naturally pay the money, and all the things that these aristocratic families worry about will never happen. This is a win-win situation.
"Also, I don't know if you have discovered..."
As Zhao Jingdian said, with one right hand, he suddenly took a huge iron hammer from the guard next to him, and with a sudden lunge, under the surprised eyes of everyone, he slammed the hammer hard on the blue-white cement. on the way.
Boom!
Debris splashed everywhere, and Zhao Jingdian hit with all his strength, but unexpectedly only smashed a small hole in the cement road.
This scene shocked everyone.
"let me!"
A scar-faced expert from aristocratic family rushed over, took the iron hammer from Zhao Jingdian's hand, swung it vigorously, and smashed it down hard.
Bang, this blow with all its strength just smashed another pothole in the concrete road, but the imaginary big explosion did not appear.
"Is this... is this really mud? How could lime and clay be so hard?"
The scar-faced master of the aristocratic family was stunned for a moment.
In fact, it’s not just him, everyone’s attention was focused on the carriage and horses, and the more than 30 guards of the Wang family standing on the carriage. No one noticed the road under their feet until Zhao Jingdian slammed smashed that hammer.
"Haha, come here, take out all the iron hammers and let everyone try it!"
Zhao Jingdian observed the words and expressions, and when he gave an order, more than a dozen guards came out from the inside carrying bundles of iron hammers. Now that Zhao Jingdian has spoken, everyone is not polite.
"I can't believe that something made of lime and clay can be so hard!"
A master from a famous family took the iron hammer from the guards one after another, walked to the side of the concrete road, and began to smash violently. Boom boom boom, the concrete road that was just built started to be destroyed rapidly under the hammers of everyone.
Several masters of the Wang family tried to step forward to stop them, but they were all stopped by Zhao Jingdian.
"It doesn't matter!"
"Let them smash it!"
Zhao Jingdian's expression was calm, with a convincing power. After following Wang Chong for a long time, Zhao Jingdian also unconsciously learned Wang Chong's self-confidence.
In the following time, Zhao Jingdian and all the guards of the Wang family stood aside, silently watching those masters from the aristocratic family destroy the concrete road.
Half an hour later, when more and more masters from the family joined in, more than a hundred masters from the family worked together to completely destroy the concrete road.
However, even so, it made everyone feel even more shocked.
If there is no way to destroy this road, everyone will subconsciously think that there are other weird things in this road, but although it takes a long time now, it can be completely destroyed, which can only show that everything is due to that kind of "cement" .
"Unbelievable, unbelievable! With lime, clay, and that kind of ore, you can actually forge something as hard as rock. No, it's harder than ordinary rock. It's unbelievable!"
"This is a man-made rock. The young man has actually mastered the method of making a man-made rock. Hurry up and report to the family. Our Lu family has followed the right person this time!"
"How on earth is this done? Give me another iron hammer, and I'll try again! There can't be such a hard road!"
"Hahaha, I have found a treasure! Young Hou is indeed worthy of being a disciple of the Son of Heaven, the future eighth general of the Tang Dynasty! No matter what he does, our Chen family just needs to keep up with him and support him with all our strength."
...
Overnight, in a trance, everyone finally discovered the secret of this road. Not because of the horses, nor because of the carriage, but because the road is hard enough. It can withstand the unbearable weight of ordinary roads, which is the real mystery.
In an instant, all worries in everyone's hearts disappeared.
"Clatter!"
When the matter developed to this point, there was a qualitative change immediately. In front of Zhao Jingdian, countless aristocratic families had no scruples and released pigeons one after another to their own families.
This is a major discovery. The use of these artificial rocks in Datang may be far more than just roads.
"Hehe, it's a success! Master Hou really has exhausted his plan, everything has been planned by him, and the comprehensive road construction can start next."
Seeing this scene, Zhao Jingdian let out a long sigh of relief. Lord Hou's cement road plan took a long time and required countless manpower and material resources. This is definitely not something that the Wang family, or the Zhao family or the Bai family can afford. It must involve thousands of aristocratic families in the capital.
Having achieved this scene, everything that follows can unfold.
"Write a letter for me and send it to Lord Hou, telling him that he can start the next plan."
Zhao Jingdian glanced at the guards of the Wang family beside him, and said in a low voice.
The latter understood, nodded quickly, and left in response.
"boom!"
When night fell and the first day passed, the first concrete road that appeared in Datang was destined to be remembered by history. In the history of Middle-earth China, this kind of thing has never appeared before, and this kind of milestone thing has also exerted its huge energy. Countless big and small families have attracted them and invested their financial and material resources into it.
And Wang Chong was not stingy, and directly opened up the transit tax after the concrete road was completed in the future to everyone. In addition, Wang Chong also established a special "Aristocratic Road Alliance", and signed an agreement with the alliance to contribute the cement formula to the alliance, and the benefits are shared equally.
The alliance is responsible for supervising the cement formula, and absolutely cannot allow the cement formula to flow to places other than Middle Earth.
Wang Chong's "generosity" also received an enthusiastic response from the alliance. After receiving the formula, the various aristocratic families of the alliance invested a huge amount of manpower and material resources, lime, clay, sand, stone, aluminum ore, and many steel bars, Millions of tons were all invested in the construction from the capital to the Western Regions.
And the benefits of Wang Chong's involvement of various aristocratic families were also revealed. On the first day, more than 80,000 workers were invested in the construction. 160,000..., and in the end, as many as 700,000 to 800,000 workers gathered on the entire Silk Road.
Sections of bluish-white cement roads were built on the Silk Road at an astonishing speed.
This is the effect of Wang Chong opening up the concrete road and allowing various families to participate.
...
"Frozen three feet is not a day's cold. If you want to change a huge empire, it cannot be achieved by one person, nor can it be achieved by the power of a country. When the families of the entire empire gather together, it is like thousands of pieces of wood gathered together. Zhe, this is the roar from the sleeping empire."
"Congratulations to the host, you have completed the second phase of the task of Wrath of the Empire, 'Road to Awakening', and rewarded the host with 800 destiny energy points. With the completion of the road, the host will continue to receive rewards!"
"Congratulations to the host! Get an extra reward of 30 points!"
"Congratulations to the host! Get 40 extra rewards!"
"Congratulations to the host! Get 37 extra rewards!"
...
In the distant Wushang, Wang Chong stood on the city, listening to the voice of the Stone of Destiny flowing down like a waterfall in his mind. In just a short period of time, Wang Chong received more than 1000 energy points as rewards, and this number is still increasing .
"Zhao Jingdian, I can finally be alone. He will take care of the concrete road, so I don't need to worry about it anymore."
Wang Chong looked down at the letter sent by Zhao Jingdian in his hand, flicked his finger lightly, and it was shattered into pieces. Countless white scraps of paper fell down from the tower.
"Cheng Sanyuan, write a letter to Zhao Jingdian for me, and tell him that I already know about the cement formula, so that he doesn't have to worry about it, I have my own opinions on everything."
"Yes, this subordinate will do it now!"
Cheng Sanyuan hurried away quickly.
"What is lost is mulberry, and what is harvested is east. If there is gain, there must be loss. If you want to build a concrete road to the Western Regions as soon as possible, and participate in the Battle of Talas in the Western Regions, you will need the help of various aristocratic families. As for the cement formula, it is quite simple in itself, if the various aristocratic families intend to steal it, they will definitely not be able to keep it for long, so why not just contribute it!"
"The various forces are closely related, but they will help maintain it with all their heart, and indirectly prolong the time for the cement formula to leak."
With his hands behind his back, Wang Chong watched the strong wind pass by from a distance, and wise rays of light flashed in his eyes.
The construction of the concrete road was already on the right track. Zhao Jingdian had to deal with this matter, and Wang Chong could already stay out of it.
"Then it's another matter."
With a thought in his mind, Wang Chong quickly turned to another figure beside him.
"Chen Bin, tell Zhang Que that the Fumeng Lingcha should be taking action soon, and tell him to act quickly. I need to know the most comprehensive information. There must be no mistakes in this matter."
