Chapter 557 Shocked by the Concrete Road

From Beiping to Lujiang, the straight-line distance is only 1,000 kilometers, but of course it is impossible to go straight in a straight line under the current conditions.

It is a bit tiring to walk such a long distance completely on two legs. It is exhausting to walk forty kilometers a day, but after arriving at the Yellow River, those pawns are finally blessed, because on the other side of the pontoon bridge on the Yellow River, there are A large number of simple carriages gathered there and waited.

These horse-drawn carriages were developed to transport goods and people on the front line. More than 3,000 horse-drawn carriages were built in half a year. They are now for military use. In the future, these horse-drawn carriages can be built to serve all parts of the country. car network.

The carriage is 5 meters long and 1.6 meters wide. It looks unpretentious and can be described as simple, but in fact it uses a lot of new technology, such as steel bearings, which greatly reduces friction and adds bogies. So 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. It has borrowed the labor force of refugees and captives who have fled, and has done a lot of infrastructure construction. On the basis of the original roads, roads have been widened and potholes have been repaired. , so a carriage can easily pull away twenty soldiers.

Although the carriage is very simple and can only barely shelter from the wind and rain, it is really a surprise to the infantry. Marching in a carriage is the treatment that only dignitary and dignitaries with a very distinguished status can afford. Now I am a small soldier Of course I was very excited to be able to march in a car, and even shouted out the words of thanking the Lord Long En.

Of course, Li Yunfei also changed to a very luxurious four-wheeled carriage. The previous carriage was also luxurious, but it still used a two-wheeled structure. up.

...

Sitting in the carriage, the speed of progress is of course much faster. Since there are post stations along the way, and there are also reserves of grain and grass materials, the speed of travel can reach nearly 100 kilometers every day.

All the way to the south, the road is getting better and better. Now it has been widened to six meters, and it is easy to make three or two carriages run side by side. Occasionally, I would come across some civilian vehicles or convoys of merchants on the road. After seeing the army, they didn't deliberately avoid it, and even greeted them warmly.

There are even some people along the way who heard that there will be a triumphant return these days, so they gathered on the side of the road early and formed a long welcome team. These are not done by the government, but more spontaneously organized by the people, as can be seen from the expressions of the rest of the people...

"It seems that the lord is the real Holy Lord, and I will do my best to assist him!" Sima Yi said with emotion, and decided to put away all irrational thoughts, do things well, strive for credit, and strive to one day be able to be named a marquis and worship minister.

"...Didn't my husband admire Cao Cao before?" Zhang Chunhua said directly.

"Cao Cao is a traitorous hero, with courage and strategy, but compared with the master's heroic talent, it is like the difference between a firefly and a bright moon... Now I know how the Xuzhou New Army has won the hearts of the people, and the hearts of the people are naturally the world. Invincible."

"My husband is now a third-class military meritorious service officer, just a staff member of the army, just like assisting the lord. There are too many people who are loyal and loyal to assist the lord. How can my husband stand out among thousands of people?"

"The mountain man's free plan..." While the two were talking, the carriage shook for a while, and then became extremely stable, as if it had stopped, and they couldn't help but lifted the curtains to look out, but it was To an extremely shocking scene. A magical avenue appeared in front of him, and the whole road was integrated, like huge bluestone slabs paved on the road. This can be described as unbelievable, and Sima Yi and his wife were stunned.

Of course, not only Sima Yi and his wife were dumbfounded, countless people were shocked and looked at the road curiously, but the march did not stop, so it was difficult for everyone to get out of the car and observe carefully. Some way.

"Old man, what's the condition of the road, why is it so smooth?" Sima Yi asked the coachman how to make it, these coachmen who always run on this road should know something about it.

"It's because the Holy Lord is wise, so I was taught by an immortal, and created a kind of god. Although it can't turn stone into gold, it can turn sand into stone..." The half-knowledgeable old coachman explained, talking Don't forget to arch your hands in the direction where Li Yunfei is driving.

"Holy Master is really wise, thank you for your enlightenment!" Sima Yi could only flatter him, but he realized that this thing was created by the new Lord. Just listen to it. However, if this road is spread on the main traffic roads of the country, and equipped with this kind of four-wheeled carriage, the convenience of transportation will be increased by as much as ten times. If some disaster occurs, rescue can be quickly reached, even ordinary people Traveling hundreds of miles is really a great thing for the country and the people.

...

When the carriage got on the concrete road, even the horse felt much happier, because pulling the cart became easier, and under the shout of the coachman, it also trotted happily.

In the past year or so, cement production has expanded rapidly, and branch factories have been established in various places. Therefore, after meeting the basic needs of some important buildings, most of the cement is used to lay cement roads. There is no big deal now. Trucks, so the hardening of the road surface does not need to be too high a standard. The hardened road surface after seven or eight centimeters can be used for a long time, so the speed of cement road laying is quite fast, and the most important north-south connections have already started layout.

Suddenly the carriage stopped wobbling, and Zhen Mi, who was a little curious, also opened the window and looked out. No matter who it was, seeing the extremely smooth road for the first time would feel very shocked, and Zhen Mi was no exception. After seeing the concrete road, she had been lying on the car window for half an hour and didn't feel tired.

"Beauty, there isn't much to see outside the window, why don't you just look at me, how about I do magic tricks for you?" Seeing that Zhen Mi was always lying on the car window, Li Yunfei leaned over and pressed his face against hers Said strangely.

"...The general's big and small 'magic' is not good-looking at all!" Zhen Mi blushed involuntarily when talking about that dirty and embarrassing thing.

"There's no good scenery outside the window, just patches of farmland. What's there to see?"

"Such a miraculous workmanship, the general can't see it at all." She took it for granted that she had grown up like this, so she was still feeling emotional and shocked.

"What supernatural workmanship, are you talking about the little saplings on the side of the road?" Li Yunfei asked knowingly.

"The general doesn't feel any emotion at all, why did the road look like this!"

"Uh, what does it mean to grow up like this? We spent a lot of manpower and material resources laying this road!"

"...Does the general have an archmage under his command?"

"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 thing that is re-ground after the ore is ground and calcined. After the firing is successful, a certain proportion of sand and stone is added, then stirred with water, and spread on the road. After a few days, it becomes a kind of artificial stone for short... ..." Li Yunfei gave a brief introduction, but Zhen Mi looked at Li Yunfei in surprise, her face full of incredulity, her red lips slightly parted, it was a naked temptation. Couldn't help but hugged him and frantically gave it a go, until he was punched several times by Zhen Mi before letting him go...

"...General, you can't be serious. I'm a concubine thinking about things. Why do you do this every time?" Zhen Mi complained a little unsteadily. What made her most depressed was that her hair bun and clothes were all messed up. , making it look like he was raped by bandits just now.

"Okay, I'll definitely be very serious next time... However, it's really troublesome for you to make such a bun, so why not flip it down!" Li Yunfei suddenly suggested.

An 18-year-old girl with fair skin and beautiful skin and a devil's figure, she just wore a bun and wore gold and jade, which really destroyed her immortal spirit. It’s best not to do any hair buns, just scatter them and tie them with a little ribbon, um, maybe a double ponytail is more cute...

"How can a concubine with disheveled hair go out to meet people? Others think that the general treats the concubine badly and doesn't even have hair accessories, so the concubine who is well-dressed is also a face to the general!" Zhen Mi continued to arrange her hair. bun, explained at the same time.

"It's such a pity. As the saying goes, hibiscus come out of clear water, and you can carve them naturally. Your beauty doesn't need those vulgar things to set off!"

Those two lines of hymns by Li Yunfei made Zhen Mi so happy that she finally listened to Li Yunfei's words and gave up doing that bun.

"...Well, I just listen to the general, but the general has to finish reading this beautiful poem!" Although Zhen Mi agreed, she made a request.

"Uh, I just thought of these two sentences suddenly!"

"And that article was born by chance again?"

"Yes Yes!"

"I'm really looking forward to the next time the general's wonderful hand will come."

"Actually, my skillful hand is better at rejuvenation..." Li Yunfei said a bit meanly.

Zhen Mi was stunned for a moment when she heard this, and her face was also blushing. She was a little surprised that such a king who holds the supreme power in the world always speaks so out of shape.

But in my heart, I really like it very much. Now when I get along with this general, I feel only relaxed, and there is no trace of restraint at all. I really hope that this general will not change too much in the future...
