Marin is very satisfied with the condition of this concrete road. Now, Marin has a carriage with simple ball bearings in his hands. Coupled with the flat cement road, as long as the load is not heavy, running more than 200 kilometers a day is not a problem at all.

On the cement road, Marlin tried, with a carriage without bearings, when unloaded, the difference is not particularly large. But after loading, the heavier the cargo, the slower the carriage without bearings. Because, the friction between the wheels and the axles will increase as the cargo becomes heavier. Oiled ball bearings, on the other hand, perfectly circumvent this problem. Even if the load is heavy, as long as it is not too heavy, the speed difference with the empty load is not particularly large.

In addition, the friction sound of the wheels and axles of the "creaking" carriage without bearings is too harsh. The spring-absorbing carriage promoted by Marin for the aristocracy not only has good shock absorption, but also has no sound when driving because ball bearings are installed on the axles. In particular, on concrete pavement, the shock absorption effect of springs is almost ineffective. Because, with such a flat road surface, there is no vibration at all. Ball bearings fully avoid the harsh friction sound, making the cabin quieter. However, because the ball bearing uses butter as a lubricant, it has to be replaced frequently, and the cost is a bit high. Fortunately, Marlin now has whale oil in his hands as a substitute, otherwise, the carriage that transports the goods also uses butter as a lubricant, and the cost is indeed a bit high. Moreover, the common people in this era are generally short of oil and water, how can they let butter be wasted like this?

Kohler, who is in charge of the financial expenditure, told Marin that the cost of building a concrete road is much lower than paving it with bricks. Moreover, Marin considered that if the cement plant were to be relocated to Conabrook, Newfoundland, the cost would be significantly reduced. Why? Because the limestone mines on Newfoundland Island are their own, they only need to pay for the labor costs of mining. Unlike now, their limestone still needs to be bought in bulk in Hamburg, and the Hamburg merchants make a lot of profits......

As long as the cost of cement is low enough, Marin can build cement roads on a large scale and build a transportation system that extends in all directions. Because there are no big trucks in Europe now, they are all horse-drawn carriages. Therefore, it is completely feasible to promote cement roads in Europe.

However, if it is a main road, even if it is a one-way street in both directions, it should be at least 4 meters wide, preferably 5 to 6 meters wide. Again, this is because the carriage itself is very narrow.

In the end, Marin decided to build a 5-meter-wide cement road for the main roads in the future. For the feeder road, a 3.5-metre-wide rural concrete road will be built. Moreover, the 5-meter-wide cement road of the main road has the same thickness as the rural cement road, which is 20 centimeters. This is because in this era, there were no large trucks weighing more than ten tons, and the weight of horse-drawn trucks was only one or two tons, and it was almost impossible to overturn the 20-centimeter-thick cement road. In the case of sufficient, Marlin also tries to save cement. After all, in this era, the industry is underdeveloped, there are no rollers and other mechanical equipment, you get too much cement, you still have to manually deal with it, and the efficiency is very slow. In the case of enough, the 5-meter-wide cement road is definitely ahead of its time, and it is wireless coquettish.

Even if you walk a large army, a 5-meter-wide concrete road is sufficient. It's just that Marin plans to cut all the knives on the median line when building a 5-meter-wide cement road. This is to prevent the thermal expansion and contraction of the cement pavement.

Although, the fly ash cement used by Marin now has a good thermal expansion and contraction performance. However, after the popularization of cement in the future, it will definitely not be possible to use fly ash cement completely. After all, fly ash is a limited source. Ordinary cement road is definitely the most common Portland cement. The kind of cement pavement must be cut, otherwise the pavement is easy to break. Moreover, after cutting the middle line of the road surface, the cement road can also be divided into two parts, the left and right, and then the traffic rules are formulated, and the left and right do not interfere with each other, which can also greatly facilitate traffic.

However, if Marin were to set the traffic rules, he would definitely choose to drive on the right-hand side. It's not like the one in the British that drives on the left, which makes people awkward to death. Many people who go to the UK have responded that they are extremely uncomfortable with the traffic rules there.

Moreover, there are no traffic rules in Europe or anything like that. Marlin to formulate, it is easy to form a unified standard. In particular, in the future, Marin wants to conquer England, and he decides - the rotten people must be made to accept the traffic rules of the right! Otherwise, fines!

Now that the spring ploughing is over, Marin decided to let the construction team continue to build a concrete road from Aurich to Port Emden to facilitate traffic between the two cities. In the future, Marin also planned to build a concrete road from Aurich to the cities of Oldenburg and Münster.

In this way, the transportation between the main cities was convenient and developed, which was also conducive to the domination and influence of these regions. Both the Qin Dynasty and Rome implemented the Chi Road and the Roman Road respectively, in order to strengthen the control ability of the huge state.

In fact, concrete roads are not so urgently needed for the German region. Because, the German region is not big in the first place. In particular, Marin now occupies only one piece of land in the northwestern corner of Germany.

However, cement roads have a huge impact on the Americas. The Americas are too big to have concrete roads, and you simply can't form effective domination and influence over distant regions.

Originally, the reason why the British wanted to divide thirteen states on the east coast of North America, and each of them did not belong to each other, was because of the inconvenient transportation, which led to the thirteen states being independent. This also laid the groundwork for the federalism of the United States later.

Marin prefers a centralized system because it is more powerful for the state. Moreover, for the colony, the most feared thing by the natives was that the colony would lose control. Therefore, in the colonies, centralization was even more needed. Otherwise, the independence of North America from Great Britain is an example.

Therefore, Marin has long thought about the mode of domination in North America - all the officials are sent from the mainland. In the future, all university students will be in charge, and Marin will set up a university to train university students with administrative skills. Then, they were sent to various areas of the colony, never giving the locals, even the descendants of immigrants, a chance to get their hands on the regime.

People from the colonies want to go into politics? Yes, but you have to go to college in your home country first and wash your brain for four years. Then, when he returned to the Americas, he was not allowed to serve in his hometown. In this regard, it is necessary to learn from the hometown circumvention system of the Ming Dynasty and avoid the formation of local township parties. As long as the local people don't form a group, then they are not a threat.

The other is the imposition of arms control on the people of the colonies. They are allowed to have muskets, but only inconvenient arquebuses, and are not allowed to use flintlock pistols and clockwork muskets. In this way, both the colonists were given the ability to hunt and their ability to resist. The North American colonies were too proliferated with muskets, and as a result, the militia was a bunch and actually gathered into a continental army. Marlin must prevent this. It is better to let them be bullied by the Indians than to have great force. Otherwise, immediately send troops to exterminate them.

Moreover, as long as it was strictly controlled, it was forbidden to import muskets and horses to the Indians. The Indians, with their bows and arrows, were unable to conquer the colonists' strongholds with arquebuses. Arquebuses were more inconvenient on the field battlefield and required cover from spearmen. But when defending the city, it is still very good, and the effect is no worse than that of a flintlock pistol.

……

To this end, after returning from the cement road completion ceremony, Marin locked himself in his office and began to draw up plans to promote the construction of concrete roads in the mainland and the colonies. In addition, the colonial gun restriction bill is also being drafted. These are the needs of future rule, and they are also very important.

Of course, more important than these two points is not to provoke the immigrants of the colonies. Therefore, when the future laws were formulated, they should not be too oppressive to the colonies, so as not to force the immigrants to rebel in a hurry.

In addition, it is very important to fool the common people of the colonies into place. So, Marin decided to apply to the Holy See to establish a theologically oriented university in Aurich.

As for the name of the university, Marin decided to set it up - Catholic University of Aurich. Moreover, this school, only theology is taught. Headmaster, of course, it's Bishop Taylor.

Obviously, Marin is planning to let Bishop Taylor recruit a group of more disciples, not to learn religion well, but to teach the flickering study well.

In the future, the graduates of this university will be parish priests of various churches. Even, in the future, it will be the bishop of the districts.

Their task was to take advantage of the Sunday service to preach to the people at home and in the colonies the wisdom of Marin and his heirs and the idea of "divine authority of kings" to ensure the rule of the Hoffmanns.

As long as it is not too bad, and in the event of a disaster, it will be timely allocated to rescue to avoid a tragedy like the Ming Dynasty. Coupled with the hard work of Taylor's disciples and grandchildren, it should be unlikely that the colonies would rebel.

Of course, whoever dares to spread other sects in the territory will be beheaded for public display. Otherwise, the common people will be fooled by some guys from other sects, and they will do the bad thing of killing the king.

Among them, the most unlucky representative is Louis XVI. In fact, Louis XVI himself was a good man, and like Chongzhen, he was not a faint king. However, in order to support the independence of the United States, he drained his finances, and on the eve of the Revolution, France, like the Ming Dynasty, was hit by natural disasters such as hailstorms, which caused the price of bread to rise. So, at the instigation of the Liberals and the Huguenots, Louis XVI was beheaded, and his grief was immense.

Therefore, Marin will use this religious university to vigorously train Taylor's disciples and grandchildren, and advocate for himself. At the same time, it is necessary to develop secret police, to arrest anyone who disagrees with religion and to kill them if they are caught, and to hire professional writers to vilify these people and occupy the commanding heights of public opinion......

The current Pope is Marin's father-in-law, and it is not easy to apply to him for a religious university? Of course, this is just a religious university that sells dog meat on the head of a sheep. For, the purpose of the religious university is not to proclaim God with all its might, but to proclaim God and Marin......

As Taylor and his disciples were accustomed to, God was only the starting point for the conversation when he preached. Next, there will be a large amount of flickering to promote Marin's wisdom and martial arts...... At the end, a little more about the glory of the Lord - well, one end and the other is God's proclaim, which is relevant to the topic. But what was broadcast in the middle was all Marin's wise and martial arts...... This kind of flickering is insisted on every week, targeting the whole people, and it has no effect if you don't believe it...... [.]
