Chapter 557: Shocked by the cement road
Starting from Peiping to Lujiang, the straight-line distance is only 1,000 kilometers, but of course it is impossible to go straight in the current conditions.
It's a bit tiring to walk such a long distance on both legs. It's exhausting to travel more than 40 kilometers a day, but after reaching the Yellow River, those foot soldiers are finally blessed, because on the other side of the pontoon bridge on the Yellow River, there are A large number of simple carriages were assembled and waiting there.
These horse carriages were developed to transport goods and people on the front line. More than 3,000 carriages have been built in the past half a year. Now they are for military use. car network.
The carriage is 5 meters long and 1.6 meters wide. It looks simple and unpretentious. It can be described as simple. In fact, it uses a lot of new technologies, such as steel bearings, which greatly reduces friction and adds a bogie. Therefore, four wheels can be used, so the carriage becomes more stable and the cargo capacity is greatly increased.
There is also the area south of the Yellow River, which has been operated by Li Yunfei for more than a year. With the help of the refugees and prisoners who have fled, a lot of infrastructure construction has been done. On the basis of the original, the roads have been widened and the potholes have been repaired. , so a carriage can easily pull away twenty soldiers.
Although the carriage is very simple, it can only barely keep out the wind and rain, but this is really a surprise for the infantry, marching in a carriage is a treatment that only the dignitaries and nobles can get, and now I am a small soldier. Of course, I was very excited to be able to march in a car, and I even shouted the words of Lord Xie Long.
Of course, Li Yunfei also changed to a very luxurious four-wheeled carriage. The previous carriage was also luxurious, but he still used the two-wheeled frame. In fact, it was really not easy to use. It was just that he didn't have time to get a car at the time, so he could only use it. .
…
After getting on the carriage, the speed of progress is of course much faster. Since there are post stations along the way and there are grain and grass material reserves, the speed of travel can reach nearly 100 kilometers every day.
All the way to the south, the road is getting better and better, and now it has been widened to six meters, which can easily be paralleled by three or two carriages. Occasionally, there will be some civilian vehicles or some merchants' convoys on the road. After seeing the army, they did not deliberately avoid them, and even greeted them warmly.
There were even some people along the way who heard that the Triumph Division would return these days, so they gathered early on the roadside and formed a long welcome line. These were not done by the government, but were more spontaneously organized by the people, which can be seen from the expressions of the people in peace...
"It seems that the lord is the real holy lord, and I will do my best to assist him!" Sima Yi sighed, and decided to put away all the thoughts that should not be there, do things well, strive to establish credit, and strive to one day be able to make a prince and worship him.
"... Didn't your husband admire Cao Cao before?" Zhang Chunhua said directly.
"Cao Cao is a traitor, he has the courage and strategy, but compared with the heroic talent of the lord, he is like the difference between Yinghuo and Haoyue... Now I know how the new army of Xuzhou has won the hearts of the people, and the people's hearts are naturally invincible in the world. ."
"Husband is now a third-class military meritorious member, just an aide in the army, just like assisting the lord. There are many loyal and loyal assistants to the lord. How can my husband stand out among thousands of people?"
"Shan Ren's free plan..." Just as the two of them were talking, the carriage swayed a bit, and then it became extremely stable, as if the car had stopped. An extremely shocking scene. A miraculous avenue appeared in front of him, and the whole road was integrated, like huge slabs of bluestone paved on the road.
Of course, it wasn't just Sima Yi and his wife who were stunned. Countless people were shocked and looked at the road curiously, but the march did not stop, so it was not easy for everyone to get out of the car and observe carefully. They just stared at the road to see some doorway.
"Old man, what's the situation on this road, why is it so flat?" Sima Yi asked the coachman how to get it out. These coachmen who always run on this road should have some understanding.
"This is because the Holy Master is wise, so I was taught the method by an immortal and created a magical object. Although it can't turn stone into gold, it can turn sand into stone..." The old coachman, who was half-understood, explained, and he didn't speak. Forgot to shrug in the direction of Li Yunfei's car.
"Holy Master is really wise, thank you old man for teaching me!" Sima Yi could only follow along with a flattery, but he knew one thing, this thing was actually created by the new master, which is really amazing. Just listen. However, if this road is laid out on the main traffic roads of the country, and coupled with this kind of four-wheeled carriage, the convenience of transportation will be increased tenfold. If there is some disaster, rescue can be quickly reached, even ordinary people can be Traveling for hundreds of miles is indeed a great deed for the country and the people.
…
The carriage got on the cement road, and even the horse felt a lot more cheerful, because pulling the carriage became easier, and trot happily after the coachman shouted.
In the past year or so, the output of cement has expanded rapidly, and branch factories have been set up in various places. Therefore, after meeting the basic needs of some important buildings, most of the cement is used to lay cement roads. Now there is no big deal. Trucks, so the hardening of the road surface does not need to be too high. The hardened road surface after seven or eight centimeters can be used for a long time, so the speed of cement road paving is still quite fast, and the most important north-south links have already started. layout.
Suddenly the carriage stopped swaying, and the curious Zhen Mi also opened the car window and looked out. No matter who it was, seeing the incomparably smooth road for the first time would be very shocking, and of course Zhen Mi was no exception. After seeing the cement road, she has been lying on the window looking at it for more than half an hour, and she doesn't feel tired.
"Beauty, there's not much to see outside the window, why don't you look at me, how about I do magic for you?" Seeing that Zhen Mi was always lying on the car window, Li Yunfei also leaned over and pressed her face against hers. said strangely.
"...General's 'magic' that grows bigger and smaller doesn't look good at all!" Zhen Mi blushed involuntarily when she talked about that sleazy and shameful thing.
"There isn't a good view outside the window. It's just a piece of farmland. What's there to see?"
"How can the general not see such a miraculous miracle?" She took it for granted that she grew up like this, so she was still sighing and shocked.
"What kind of magic work, are you talking about the little saplings on the roadside?" Li Yunfei asked a little knowingly.
"The general has no emotion at all, why did the road grow like this!"
"Uh, what does it mean to grow up like this, we spent a lot of manpower and material resources paving this road!"
"...Does the general's subordinate still have an archmage?"
"Hehe, what kind of archmage is there? This is actually a cement road. I'll let you see it when you get to the city."
"What is cement?"
"A kind of ore milled and calcined and then re-milled. After successful firing, add a certain proportion of sand and gravel, then stir with water, and lay it on the road. After a few days, it becomes an artificial stone for short, concrete... "Li Yunfei gave a brief introduction, but Zhen Mi looked at Li Yunfei in surprise, his face full of incredulity, the way his lips were lightly opened, it was a naked temptation. He couldn't help but hugged him and gave it a mad ken, until Zhen Mi punched him a few times before letting him go...
"...General, you can't be serious, concubine's thinking, why is it like this every time." Zhen Mi complained with some unsteady breath, what depressed her most was that her bun and clothes were messed up. It was as if he had just been overpowered by a bandit.
"Okay, next time it will be very serious... However, it's really troublesome for you to make such a bun, why don't you flip it down!" Li Yunfei suddenly suggested.
An 18-year-old girl, with fair skin and beautiful body and a devilish figure, just made a bun and wore gold and jade, which really destroyed her immortal aura. It's best not to do any buns, just scatter them and tie them with a little ribbon. Well, maybe it's more cute to tie a double ponytail...
"How can someone with disheveled hair go out to meet people? Others think that the general is not good to the concubine, and he doesn't even have hair accessories, so the beautiful concubine also looks good for the general!" Zhen Mi continued to organize her hair. updo, explained at the same time.
"It's a pity. As the saying goes, the hibiscus comes out of clear water, and it is natural to carve it. Where does your beauty need those vulgar things to set off!"
Li Yunfei's two hymns, UU reading www. uukanshu.com made Zhen Mi so happy that she finally listened to Li Yunfei's words and gave up getting that bun.
"...Okay, the concubine listens to the general, but the general has to finish reading this beautiful verse!" Although Zhen Mi agreed, she made a request.
"Uh, I just suddenly thought of these two sentences!"
"Is that article also a coincidence?"
"Yes Yes!"
"I'm really looking forward to the next time General's wonderful hand."
"Actually, my wonderful hand is better at rejuvenation..." Li Yunfei said a little bit cheaply.
Zhen Mi was stunned when she heard it, and her face was flushed with blush. She was really surprised that such a king, who held the supreme power in the world, was always so informal when he spoke.
But I really like it very much in my heart. When I get along with this general now, I only feel relaxed, and there is no trace of detention at all. I really hope that this queen will not change too much in the future...
