Chapter 705: Do Not Use Asphalt in Road Construction

"The imperial court has money, which is really useful." Li Chengqi couldn't help but sigh, building roads and water networks.

"Brother, I paid for the road construction." Li Yi emphasized that the road from Luoyang to Chang'an was paid for by him.

"Haha! Brother Yi, I mean the road to Lantian County." Li Chengqi remembered that it was indeed not from the imperial court.

"The roads in Lantian County were built by our mine before the imperial court built them. The things in the mine need to be traveled overland, so we just built them all."

Li Yi emphasized again that there should be no confusion.

"Brother Yi, speaking of the roads in Lantian County, they are indeed not as well built as other places. After connecting to Chi Road, the speed will not be affected at all."

Li Chengqi had no choice but to change the topic again and praise the roads of Lantian County.

Because there are many stones in Lantian County, gravel roads are built and pressed with big stone rollers.

When it rains, water can seep down, and there are ditches next to it.

The carts pulling stones would not sink when walking on them, and the people were very happy.

Ordinary places do not have the same conditions, and of course there are no vehicles with heavy loads passing by.

There are no tolls now. Li Yi and businessmen are mining in various mines. The roads are difficult to navigate and delay things, so they can only repair them themselves.

Otherwise, the court would not have taken care of it at that time, and the people in the county would not have been able to pay for it.

"Yes!" Li Yi didn't want to say more. How could it be bad if he could pull a stone cart?

"However, the road from Lantian County to Zhuangzi is still a gravel road, but it is made stronger. It would be better if it were replaced by a gravel road."

Li Chengqi found the problem. The road from Luoyang to Lantian County was good and the road was made of cement.

The roads in Lantian County are also good, completely gravel roads.

The road from Lantian County to Lijiazhuangzi is a normally constructed mixed road without cement and so many stones.

The road from Lijiazhuangzi to the city gate is a cement road, with dirt roads on both sides. Cars can travel fastest on this road, but the disadvantage is that it is a useless horseshoe.

Li Yi looked at the direction of Lantian County: "In a few days, we will free up manpower to build a good road from Lantian County to Zhuangzi. The main issue is oil."

"I have been sending oil to you Zhuangzi, but I have no more gasoline, diesel, and paraffin in reserve."

"Also, there is asphalt. I am saving asphalt. I will wait for them to finish the autumn harvest and plant winter wheat, which will be just in time to build roads.

The asphalt road was built with a six-foot-wide asphalt road that could run on a horse-drawn carriage.

When two cars meet, one goes to the side first, waits for the other to pass, and then gets on. "

"Brother Yi, the road construction ground is hard in winter."

"It's not winter. It will be cold when the asphalt is finally laid. I use a pouring method. The asphalt is heated and poured upwards. Then it needs to be leveled. It won't work if the weather is hot."

Li Yi said helplessly.

He couldn't take out the road construction equipment he had at that time. The asphalt was a mixture and the speed was fast. A group of people followed the car.

The car goes over, pours the asphalt, and manually trims the edges, then puts it on the roller behind.

The cast type is generally used on bridges, but also on other things.

The asphalt road Li Yi wants to build is the most primitive. It would be better to pour asphalt when the weather gets colder.

"Asphalt roads are better than cement roads?" Li Chengqi had never seen an asphalt road.

"The current asphalt road is not good. It needs to be watered when it is too hot in summer, otherwise it will become soft and sticky to the feet when you step on it.

In fact, asphalt is good for defending the city. There is no need to boil other things on the city wall. Just boil the asphalt and pour it down.

When asphalt touches people's skin, they will be burned. The key is that the asphalt sticks to the body and is difficult to remove. "

Li Yi actually had no way to deal with the asphalt in the oil smelting process, so he had to use it to build roads.

When burning asphalt as firewood, it smokes too much.

Just like in the old rural houses in the north, the dust on the kang will affect the passage of heat.

At this time, linoleum paper was placed in the stove and ignited. The fire was so strong that some even lifted the kang and wrapped it.

"Huh? That's right. You can make linoleum paper, which is waterproof. People's houses have leaks. They need to lay linoleum paper urgently."

Li Yi shouted out that he had found another use for asphalt.

Making paper from messy rags and unusable animal hair is a simple process, simpler than newspaper.

Then throw it into the asphalt to soak it, take it out and press it, and the linoleum paper will come out.

"Brother, there is a new business, making linoleum paper and selling it to the court at a cheap price." Li Yi thought of the object of the transaction, the court.

"What's it for?" Li Chengqi found that his knowledge reserve was low again. In fact, it was higher than Li Yi's.

"Instead of tarpaulins, wouldn't various places set up sheds to provide water to the people in the summer? What will happen to the sheds when there is heavy rain?"

"A shed? Use a straw mat or a bamboo mat and put it up. The rainwater will be kept out. Over time, it will become moldy, but it will also be water-permeable."

"Yes, it's different when you use linoleum paper. It's a thin layer and it doesn't matter how rain pours on it. You can pour water on it with a bucket and it still won't leak."

Li Yi now discovered the New World. The biggest role of asphalt at that time was road construction and waterproofing.

Nowadays, houses in Datang need to be waterproof more. What are the tiles used for? Piece by piece, waterproof.

"Brother, it is not only sold to the court, but also to the common people. Of course, this thing is not fireproof.

For example, take a large square wooden box, the kind you put on a car. If you want to hold water, you must deal with the gaps.

It's just as simple as using linoleum paper. Just spread it inward and bake it over a fire. The pieces of linoleum paper will stick together.

The oil paper in the bamboo can has the same effect. "

Li Yi explained to Li Chengqi the advantages of linoleum paper, but the disadvantage is that it easily catches fire.

Li Chengqi followed up and said: "If you paint a layer of asphalt in the bamboo tube, can it be canned directly?"

Li Yi: "..."

"No, big brother, no, it will eat dead people, and asphalt cannot be put in the mouth. People who can't afford tiles can just buy linoleum paper to spread it out, and that will solve the problem."

Li Yi found something new that benefited the people and felt happy.

"Make a lot of money? Relocation, we won't pave asphalt roads, we will make them all into linoleum paper. No matter how expensive it is, can it be more expensive than tiles?

At the same time, no matter how cheap it is, can it still be cheaper than stone? Let's build a stone road, and the stone is enough. "

Li Chengqi decided not to pour asphalt on the road.

"But I have too much asphalt, big and big, like a mountain. There are also a lot of gasoline, diesel and kerosene."

Li Yi was worried. He had not stopped distilling the oil, and the crude oil mined in the open pit was being transported continuously.

No matter how poor the craftsmanship is, it can't handle large quantities.

"It's all made into linoleum paper. You have to save the gasoline and diesel oil. Don't explode with a bang. UU Reading www.uukａnshu.net Let them stop bringing oil here first."

Li Chengqi knows the power of gasoline.

"We don't have enough manpower. Brother, let's find some manpower." Li Yi thinks that's fine. Don't send crude oil yet. That's enough.

Then the asphalt is not used to build roads, but linoleum paper is specially made, and the roads can be paved with stones.

"Brother Yi, the profits from things like this should be shared with His Majesty." Li Chengqi reminded.

"Yes, but for Your Majesty, it's my 10% profit? I don't dare to spend it?" Li Yi asked clearly first.

"How about your Majesty providing you with a venue and taking... 20% of the profit?" Li Chengqi didn't want his third brother to always reap the benefits.

Doesn't Brother Yi need money? The salt well is almost open, enough to support the army.

"Okay, I'll write a letter to His Majesty. We'll make linoleum paper on the gravel road here." Li Yi agreed.
