Chapter 554 From Now on, There Will Be No More Nations Coming to Pay Tribute, only Provinces Will Obey the Edict! [Seeking Monthly Votes]

"Damn, asphalt costs more than 3,000 per ton?"

Li Yu thought it was already waste, but he didn't expect the price to be so high.

According to the standard that 2-4 kilograms of asphalt are consumed per square meter of ordinary asphalt roads, if you want to build a model road 30 kilometers long and 10 meters wide, you need about 1,000 tons of asphalt.

Asphalt alone will cost several million, plus other equipment and stone crushers, the cost of the entire project will be super scary... Forget it, forget it, let's not purchase asphalt from the real world.

It's not too late to mine oil after Xuande takes Yulin. There's no need to force it now. As for the oil fields in Hebei and the Daqing oil fields in the northeast, they are all deep well oil fields and cannot be mined for the time being.

Listening to Li Yu's analysis, Li Shimin quickly helped his master to make up for it:

"It's not that we can't afford to build asphalt roads, but cement roads are more cost-effective... Brother Fei, do you have limestone suitable for burning cement?"

"It's everywhere. When the converter you purchased arrives, we will prepare to burn cement day and night."

Years ago, Liu Bei made a plan to stockpile coal to burn cement. When the furnace is turned on, he will not stop. He will burn cement day and night, mix the cement evenly on the spot, and build roads directly.

First, build a road from the cement plant to Zhending Prefecture, and then spread it to the surrounding areas.

Seeing that Li Shimin liked to eat rice cakes, Yue Fei specially picked a few for him:

"The Sui and Tang world also needs equipment such as converters to burn cement, right?"

"Yes, but we are not in a hurry for the time being. It is not too late to do these things after taking Jinyang. Brother Qin has already made a plan. After taking Jinyang and Shangai County, he will march north to take the coal mines in Shuozhou first, and use the coal and iron mines there to start refining weapons in large quantities to increase defense capabilities."

Yuwen Chengdu frowned:

"Are you not afraid of grassland people coming down to rob if you rashly mine open-pit coal mines?"

"Don't worry, big guy. If grassland people dare to come, they will definitely give us a batch of war horses and road construction workers... Isn't there an incident in modern history where foreigners used Chinese as slaves to build roads? Coincidentally, we are planning to introduce a group of grassland people to do the same thing in the Sui and Tang world."

Although Li Shimin is small, he is still very cruel in his bones.

After all, in history, the things this guy did to foreigners seemed pretty good from the perspective of the Tang Dynasty, but if the identities were swapped, he would be a devil with heinous crimes.

Not long after the Tang Dynasty was founded, the Persians sent a princess to marry. Li Shimin, the old man, looked down on the princess and stripped her clothes and put her in a cage for the court officials to admire together.

Someone told him that Persia was a big country and he had to show proper respect. This guy thought for a moment and ordered people to change the cage to a gold one.

A cage made of gold, is that respectful enough?

The marriage team sent by the Tang Dynasty was another form. They either killed the husband's family to stage a coup, or beat the husband so domineeringly that he jumped into the sea and committed suicide.

One of the marriage teams got lost halfway and simply built a small country in the Middle East, which was actually doing well.

The nature of the marriage team in the early Tang Dynasty was basically the same as that of the Han Dynasty's envoys.

It seemed to be a marriage, but in fact it was to provoke a war.

Zhao Yun asked:

"Will His Majesty Shimin marry again this time?"

"Bullshit, although my Li family's daughter is a little naughty, she is not something that foreign bastards can touch... This time, our Tang Dynasty will not marry or pay tribute, and whoever is not convinced will fight to the death. As for Tubo, Xiong Kuohai and Wu Tianxi almost fought yesterday to grab the vanguard officer."

Tsk, just chatting, not that serious, right?

But in the original book, these two guys died before the end. Now they change their fate, and they will at least become dukes in the future, right?

Zhou Ruotong said:

"The Tubo people have always been in a state of slash-and-burn farming. It was only when Princess Wencheng brought a lot of farming technology and culture that they had the strength to compete with the Tang Dynasty. As long as there is no marriage, the power of Tubo will not rise."

Li Shimin laughed:

"My second brother Qin and I have already discussed that when we attack Tubo, we will first destroy their beliefs. As long as someone claims to be the incarnation of a god, we will directly pour gasoline on them... Isn't it always said that there are places in the real world where souls can be purified? Let's do a physical purification to ensure that there is no residue, which is more thorough!"

Li Erfeng, who was already very cruel, would probably be even more cruel after being exposed to the knowledge of the real world.

When they were almost done eating, Li Yu returned to the kitchen and cooked a large pot of stewed noodles. He took it out and mixed it into the crayfish soup. Zhao Yun hurriedly served himself a small bowl:

"I've been waiting for a long time, looking forward to these staple foods."

Most of the shrimps he peeled went into Zhao Xue's stomach, and a small part was given to his nephew Zhao Qian. He was still hungry after working for a long time.

Now that we have noodles, we can finally eat our fill.

Zhao Xue was full and satiated, and quickly peeled garlic obediently:

"People say that eating noodles without garlic will reduce the flavor by half. Second brother, try it. It's so satisfying to eat like this. This is the tradition of our Mu Ke Village!"

It hasn't even been there yet, and it's already your Mu Ke Village?

Li Yu felt that the Queen's corporate culture was well done. With this kind of identity and centripetal force, there's no need to worry about not accomplishing great things?

After everyone had eaten and drunk their fill, Li Yu saw that there were still a lot of shrimps left, so he cooked another big pot of noodles, scooped the noodles directly into the soup, and asked Mu Guiying to take it away to give Li Fengyang and others a snack.

Back at Mu Ke Village, Mu Guiying served a portion of each type of shrimp and took it to the Wahuang Palace to honor her old mother.

But seeing Yunxiao was there, the girl immediately changed the subject:

"Sister Yunxiao, try the crayfish your husband made. It's always delicious...Here, I've brought you disposable gloves. You can peel two and try the taste. If it's not delicious, I'll help you teach your husband a lesson." !”

These words made Yunxiao blush a little:

"Sir, it will definitely be very delicious."

After saying that, she opened the box and pushed the prawns in front of Nuwa. After her mother-in-law ate them, she picked up one, peeled off the shrimps and tasted them. It had a spicy and fragrant taste, and it tasted really delicious. .

"I think this is not difficult. I'm not busy these two days. I'll let my eldest brother catch some shrimps and make some similar dishes. I hope sir won't dislike it."

"Haha, sister Yunxiao, don't worry. Your husband will definitely drink the soup together. He treasures everything you give him. Sometimes I get a little jealous."

These words made Yun Xiao feel sweet and a little embarrassed.

The empress was worried that she had gone too far, so she quickly changed the subject and talked about the upcoming Sun Mao:

"The little doll is coming soon, you all have your gifts ready."

Yunxiao asked:

"The image of Mr. here is that of a naked little baby. If Zhunti sees Xiao Mao'er, will he regard him as Mr. and make a desperate move?"

The empress shook her head:

"When Xiao Mao'er was just born, Zhunti noticed it... He knew very well that my son was not an aborigine of the world in the book, so he would not take Xiao Mao'er seriously. Instead, he needed to pay attention when Tongtong came. ”

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law chatted for a while longer. Mu Guiying didn't stay too long. She said goodbye to Yunxiao and her empress and returned to Muke Village.

As soon as he appeared in the village, he saw Li Fengyang holding a big bowl with minions printed on it and trying his best to shovel noodles full of red oil into his mouth.

"How are you, little Feiyang? Does it taste delicious?"

"It's okay. It was a bit boring at first, so I added some old vinegar, and then I thought it was perfect... I really pity you people who are not jealous, how much delicious food are you missing?"

Mu Guiying patted Li Fengyang on the shoulder and said sincerely:

"You should sympathize with yourself. I'm so embarrassed by this A-level tablet."

Li Fengyang:? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?

When I talk to you about food, you directly attack me personally, right?

Believe it or not, I will now lead the little fat man to seek power and usurp the throne, completely evacuating your power?

Not far away, little Bao Zheng, who was eating Thirteen-Spice Crayfish Noodles, got all excited and felt that there was danger approaching. He quickly took his small bowl of SpongeBob SquarePants and went to find his mother.

Mu Guiying and Li Fengyang had a bit of banter and then got down to business:

"How long will it take to become combat effective?"

"Come on, after Zhao Xue arrives, you can lead your troops and go wild on the grassland. I am here, so you can rest assured."

"Thank you for your hard work, Xiao Feiyang. Together, our sisters can use our power to cut through gold and we will definitely help the people create a prosperous age where all nations will come to visit us."

Li Fengyang feels that this goal is too unambitious:

"All nations? Where did all the nations come from? In the future, even the moon has been an inseparable part of our Zhou Dynasty since ancient times... There are no ten thousand nations, only ten thousand provinces. I feel that ten thousand provinces can manage the whole world properly, but I don't know in my lifetime. Can I realize this little wish?”

"Okay, at the worst I can extend your life for a thousand years."

If you live long enough, you can redefine your lifetime.

Li Fengyang held the bowl and circled around Mu Guiying twice:

"How do you feel that after your husband slept with you, your imagination became bigger? You have never had this pattern in the past."

"Go, go, stop burying me."

"Hey, I said you have become smarter recently, am I wrong?"

Mu Guiying said righteously:

"Remember, it was not my husband who slept with me, but I, the queen, who slept with him. This is a matter of principle, so we can't get confused."

Li Fengyang: "..."

I feel that our Muke City does not need to be repaired. We can just use your face as the city wall. You are a talker behind others and a coward in front of others. You have almost lost the face of the entire school.

When the two sisters fell in love and killed each other, at the Three Kingdoms World Oil Base, Lu Bu stood on the newly paved bridge and jumped several times with excitement on his face:

"Damn, after the wooden stakes were poked in, the whole bridge became stronger."

The trees used as bridge piles this time were not newly cut down, but purchased from a nearby wealthy family. The main beams used by the family to repair their houses were turned into building materials.

Before driving the pile driver into the river beach, Zhang Liao specially used a spray gun to carbonize the wooden piles. He also heated the asphalt and painted a layer on all the wood to prevent it from decaying and damaging in two years. Or a bunch of mushrooms may grow, affecting the strength of the bridge.

After the six wooden piles are driven down, they are connected to each other with beams, and then a layer of rafters is laid to support and distribute pressure. Finally, there is a thickened bridge board.

Now that the bridge deck has just been laid and the railings have not yet been installed, Lu Bu and Zhang Liao can't wait to try it.

A carriage was brought over, loaded with five hundred kilograms of stones. Lu Bu made a cameo appearance and drove the carriage to the other side of the river easily without any shaking in the bridge.

"Fuck, get stronger!"

The two people added the stone to a thousand kilograms and slowly passed it again. This time the bridge board made a creaking sound. After observing it, they found that it was caused by the wheels.

The iron hoops on the outside of the wooden wheels left a shallow mark on the bridge plate.

"Change the rubber tire wagon!"

This time it passed safely, there was no movement, the pressure from the rubber tires was more dispersed, and the bridge deck could easily bear it.

Then, the two tested the weights of 1,500 kilograms and 2,000 kilograms, both of which were fine.

Lu Bu got excited and drove his off-road vehicle, which weighed more than two tons, over, intending to drive to the other side of the bridge to have a look.

As soon as he started the car, Zhang Daoling's figure appeared in mid-air. The old man grabbed the fly whisk, obviously coming to the rescue.

After all, he is the pillar of the Han Dynasty and the disciple of the empress. If he falls into the river and drowns because of testing a bridge, he will definitely become the number one joke in the three worlds.

Lu Bu drove the car to the opposite side and felt that some nails on the bridge were loose and needed to be refixed, but there was no problem with the bridge piles.

Seeing that the bridge was safe and sound, Lu Bu waved to Zhang Liao and asked five or six people to climb onto the car and prepare to do it again, but Lao Zhang urgently stopped him:

"Don't try it, Marquis Wen. The limit of this bridge is three tons, but to be on the safe side, the cars passing should not exceed one ton. It is best to use rubber wheels. The iron hoops on the surface of the wooden wheels can easily crush the bridge plate."

Good guy, the driving test by yourself is not enough, and you actually plan to drag a future martial arts star to play. This is going to overturn. How serious is the cause?

After getting the answer he wanted, Lu Bu did not try again, but asked with a smile:

"Old Zhang, you've been running here every now and then for the past three days. Aren't you afraid of contaminating Karma?"

"With the support of His Highness the Holy Son, what does a little cause and effect mean?"

Zhang Daoling fell from the sky and touched the pile driver curiously:

"I didn't expect this thing to be so useful. With this thing, Dahan's bridge technology will be greatly improved, and all natural chasms will become smooth roads."

Lu Bu strode to the bridge and sat down:

"The small river ditches in the north can be used just fine. If it were the Yangtze River, it would definitely not be possible to rely on pile drivers alone. That guy would have to drive piles at least dozens of meters deep."

While the two were chatting, Zhang Liao brought hot tea:

"I've met the Heavenly Master. We didn't cause you any trouble on the grassland, did we?"

"No, no, but they are very shameless. This is how you treat foreigners. Before they change their beliefs, you have to beat them to death. You can't be merciful."

If they don't change their culture and beliefs, it means they haven't given up yet and are still thinking about accumulating resources to make a comeback.

Only by making them identify with the Han culture from the bottom of their hearts and abandon the beliefs of the grasslands can they prepare for the next step of integrating into the Han culture.

Zhang Liao asked:

“Is this another form of national integration?”

Zhang Daoling shook his head:

"No, national integration means that everyone takes a step back, respects each other, and forms a new system on this basis... But now, they are asked to lose their identity and join the Han Dynasty. As for whether they can finally become the people of the Han Dynasty, it still has to be Look at our faces."

Zhang Daoling drank a cup of tea, then got up and flew away.

He came to the Three Kingdoms World today not only to help Lu Bu test the bridge, but also to go to Chang'an City to inform Sun Facai and his family to prepare.

He flew to Chang'an, and as soon as he arrived at Cai Mansion, Sun Facai stuffed two cans of super-grade Maojian into Lao Zhang's arms:

"When will my child go to see his grandma?"

Zhang Daoling said with a smile:

"I'll go in two days. I'm here to ask your Majesty Madam if she won't be used to being suddenly separated from the child for a few days."

Upon hearing this, Sun Facai led Lao Zhang into the house.

Cai Yan is now in confinement and is wearing a set of winter home clothes and doing postpartum aerobics following the video.

Zhou Ruotong downloaded this for her. The movements are not strenuous and focus on moving her body. After she gets used to it, there will be advanced aerobics.

"Mei Yan, come and see Master Zhang."

When Cai Yan saw that a god was coming, he quickly turned off the video and saluted Zhang Daoling:

"Ci Yan, the daughter of the common people, pays homage to the Heavenly Master!"

"No gifts, no gifts. Regarding the relationship between your family and His Royal Highness the Holy Son, I can't afford this... Mrs. Cai, on behalf of the empress, I would like to ask you, will you feel uncomfortable if you are suddenly separated from your child for a few days? "

Upon hearing this question, Cai Yan looked at the baby sleeping soundly in the stroller with love in his eyes, and said reluctantly:

"It's true that I don't get used to it, but my wife is my husband's closest relative. She wants to have a grandson, and we, as her descendants, should make it happen."

The words "close relatives and elders" brought the relationship between the two parties closer.

The Empress of the Wa Palace smiled and said:

"She is truly worthy of being one of the four most talented women. This girl is perfect in every aspect... Let the whole family come. You can't just hold your grandson and neglect your nephew and daughter-in-law."

Although her voice was light, it reached Zhang Daoling's ears very clearly.

Lao Zhang said to Cai Yan:

"If Mrs. Cai doesn't want to leave, how about you and Brother Fucai also come as guests and stay for a few days?"

Cai Yan was ready to be separated from her children, and even took a bunch of photos and short videos to understand the pain of missing her.

Unexpectedly, the empress suddenly changed her mind and upgraded from Sun Mao visiting alone to the whole family visiting relatives.

Cai Yan was so excited that tears came down:

"Thank you for your consideration, ma'am!"

Sun Facai also looked shocked. He pinched himself hard and asked uncertainly:

"Old Zhang, are you saying that our family of three can go to Wa Palace to visit relatives?"

Zhang Daoling nodded:

"Let's go together. There are so many people and it's so lively. It's good for you to get familiar with it. If you encounter an emergency one day, you'll have a place to go."

As the battle between Brother Dao and Tiandao becomes more and more fierce, Sun Facai, the source of disturbing Tianji, is bound to be violently attacked by Tiandao.

When the time comes to live in the Wa Palace, heaven will be beyond its reach.

Zhang Daoling asked the couple to make some preparations and would come to pick them up in two days. Before leaving, he also gave Cai Yong a pill that could strengthen his body.

After leaving Sun Facai's house, Zhang Daoling went to see his grandson Zhang Lu again.

Then he flew up and was about to return to the Wahuang Palace when he suddenly noticed that something very interesting had happened on the Yangtze River in the south:

"Huh? Sun Bofu actually met this guy in Lujiang County?"

Old Zhang did not go back either. He sat in the clouds with interest, silently watching the red-faced young general below who was competing with Sun Ce in martial arts...
