Yang Gaicai listened to a method of asphalt paving, and felt that it did not exceed the degree he had seen, it was a fairly primitive paving method, and Yang Gaicui did not intend to say anything, any technological progress requires long-term accumulation, and it is impossible to achieve it in a handful, and it is not a good idea to pull out the seedlings to help grow.

"Well, yes, I heard Li Yanyi say that this oil residue is really a good thing, used to pave the road, it is simply wonderful, old Zhangtou, work hard, do everything possible to repair the road, I never skimp on rewards, you know?" Yang Gaicao is also to give some rewards, as for the reward, if the results are out, Yang Gaicao will really not be stingy, and there is no need to be stingy, once the asphalt road is successful, he will build the road on a large scale, and the cost of repairing the road is not a little bit or two of money, so this craftsman who invented the asphalt paving road, is it necessary for him to lose his money?

Do you have less of his official? Just give a hundred households in Jinyiwei, it's just a matter of one sentence, and the hundred households in Jinyi and Wei are already great officials for these craftsmen.

"Back to the emperor, the grass people obey the order, and they must repair the road for the emperor." The old Zhang Tou began to dance with his eyebrows, his face was flushed, and he couldn't stop it when he got lucky! Only then did I see the emperor, and the emperor valued himself like this, and it was really time to run.

"I can say in the front, repaired, I am satisfied, I will naturally not be stingy, but if it is not repaired, it is another matter, the matter of building the road, I value it very much, you look at the road over there, I also let people build it, I ask people to use a cart loaded with heavy goods to run it on it every day, and water it from time to time, the result is like this" If the road is still like that, "I will not have any reward............", Yang Gaicao smiled again, gave sweet dates, and did not forget to give a halter.

"The emperor can rest assured" grass people understand that they will not disappoint the ...... of the raccoon people", Lao Zhangtou looked at the rotten road over there with some nervousness, although it was very bad, but there were still big carriages running on it, and there were still eunuchs splashing water on it, that rotten road, rotten was really unusual. Lao Zhangtou is very confident in building roads with oil residue, after all, he himself has verified it in Shaanxi.

"Okay\\1", Big Companion, Zhang Chun, this road, I value it very much, "Old Zhangtou repairs the road, you try to give him as much convenience as possible, give him more support, understand?" Yang Gaicao said to Wang Chengen and Zhang Chun with a smile.

"Slave obeys!" , the two men agreed.

After explaining the matter, Yang Reform watched the scene of building asphalt roads for a while, "To be honest, there are many road repair scenes than the ones I saw in the township back then, at least this momentum is very strong, and the dozens of pots in this row are not something ordinary people can do."

Because the road of Sanhetu was repaired early, the stones are also ready-made, so now as long as the asphalt is paved on it, it is a greatly accelerated progress of road construction.

Looking at a section of asphalt road that already has a shape, "smelling the unique smell of asphalt, Yang Gaicao is really reluctant to leave" How can industrialization leave the road? If you want to get rich, you must first build roads, which is a sentence that every Chinese person remembers.

Looking at the emperor who was reluctant to leave for a long time, Wang Chengen was embarrassed, this burning oil residue, the smoke was really big, the emperor's forehead, it seemed that a few smoke and dust had fallen, because the fire was too big, the smoke was too big, the emperor stood close, and the smoke smoked down the emperor from time to time. It is necessary to divert the attention of the emperor, this smoke and fire will burn to the eyebrows.

"Your Majesty, the ash burned out of Sanhe soil, the ditch that was wiped has already been repaired, and now it is filled with a lot of water, and the water has never dried up, it seems to be not leaking, it is really a god, Your Majesty wants to go and see." , Wang Chengen was worried that there was nothing to interrupt the emperor's attention, and when he looked around, he saw the pool that the emperor had asked to build, so he immediately used this to interrupt the emperor's thoughts, and he really couldn't let the emperor stand here.

“…… Oh ............", Yang Gaicao heard Wang Chengen's call, only to wake up, in fact, in his heart is calculating, how much asphalt is needed to build an asphalt road from Beijing to Tongzhou, use asphalt to repair the road, Yang Gaicao has seen, vaguely remember, the township to build a road, twenty tons can be repaired for about two kilometers, then, like these twenty cars of asphalt, there are twelve tons, should be able to build a two-mile road, forty miles, it takes two hundred and forty tons, that is to say, like today, twenty cars of asphalt, still need to be transported twenty times, The asphalt road from Beijing to Tongzhou can almost be paved. , It seems to be right, assuming that the road of 20 kilometers, six meters wide, is a total of 120,000 square meters, if you pave three centimeters of asphalt road, it is 3,600 cubic meters of paving materials, paving materials are asphalt and sand, according to the ratio of mixing, there should be 180 tons of asphalt, 240 tons in the book, there should be a lot of margin, welcome to correct, forget for a long ......time,,

Yang Gaicao calculated for a while, only felt that this could save more than paving a stone road, no matter what, it would not take two or three million silver coins, not to mention the cement road, today's cement, at most a soil cement, used to build a road, will definitely build a tofu slag project, calculated, that is, the asphalt road is more cost-effective.

Once the road to Tongzhou is repaired, it is also a demonstration project, once you know that the asphalt road is good, and the asphalt road is repaired in other places, there is no problem, if you want to get rich, the road must be built first It must become the slogan of the entire Ming Empire.

The road from Beijing to Tongzhou has a very special xìng, even if the road is built with stone slabs, even if it costs millions of taels of silver, no one will say anything, because the road from Tongzhou to Beijing is too important, related to the lifeblood of the capital, but there is no need to worry about investing too much on this road and causing the minister to be verbose, after all, everyone has to eat, right?

Yang Gaicao calculated for a while. I already have an eyebrow in my heart, and it seems that the road repair project needs to be put on the agenda immediately. More transport trucks have to be sent to Shaanxi to pull oil residue, that is to say, the output of oil must be increased as soon as possible, and it is a large-scale increase.

That is to say, the price of lamp oil still needs to be lowered again, and lamp oil has almost become a by-product of oil, "what can be reduced to five wen, never to eight wen......

Although Yang Gaicao has woken up from deep thinking, his thoughts are still on the oil industry's "roads, costs, and these issues."

Seeing Wang Chengen looking at himself expectantly, Yang Gaicao also followed Wang Chengen's kindness, and looked not far away, there was indeed a pool, Yang Gaicao had noticed before, "Walked over, the cement pool he repaired before has been repaired, although the cement mark is not good, it can be wiped thick, the craftsmanship of the craftsman is good, the pool is repaired, the effect seems to be very good, the pool is above, the water is bōdàng Yang, Yang Gaicao looks that kind."

"The ash burned by this Sanhe soil seems to be impermeable!" Yang Gaicao said with a little surprise.

"Back to Your Majesty, this is really a god, who would have thought that there is such a magical thing in the world, which can surround the water like a stone trough, it is simply incredible! If the slave and maid had not seen it with their own eyes, the slave and the maid would not have believed that people could still make stones. Wang Chengen explained the pool in exaggerated words. This pool was not just built, and the news of the repair of the pool "has long been spreading, but now" Wang Chengen wants to use this pool to attract the emperor's attention.

"Well, I really didn't expect that there would be such a wonderful use, I just wanted to use him to repair the ditch, and I actually built a pool, and it didn't leak, is this strong? If it is strong, then use this to repair the ditch, but it can be managed for many years\\1 "......", Yang Gaicao sighed.

"Back to Your Majesty, this can be strong, it's almost the same as a stone, the slave has already tried, it's not worse than a stone-hewn pool, and even stronger than a stone trough, if it breaks a place, at least you can take that gray scale, and the stone trough won't work......", Wang Chengen explained with a smile, as soon as this pool is repaired, it will become a legend, causing a lot of sensation, and now, it is not news.

"Well, since it's strong, let's try to get someone to make a house out of that ash to see, see if it's strong, if you can build a few floors, it will be better! After repairing, and plastering this kind of ash inside and out, aren't you afraid of rain anymore? The ground is also smeared with ......", Yang Gaicao said casually.

"Slave obeys!" , Wang Chengen happily agreed, the ash burned out of this Sanhe soil is several times stronger than lime, can be waterproof, it is no secret, the emperor wants to use him to build a house, it is easy to understand, because in the previous brick joints, lime was used as a binder, and now there is this better ash, naturally to use this, I don't know what the house with this ash will be like. Wang Chengen is also looking forward to being able to build a house, not to mention anything else, at least in the future, the brick wall can be caulked with this kind of ash, wouldn't it be more solid? How could the emperor not care?

"By the way, since this kind of ash is better than lime, when building roads, remember to use this kind of ash instead of lime, and see if there is a big ............change in the road of Sanhetu", Yang Gaicao looked at the sparse and good Sanhe dirt road not far away and said, this is the original intention.

"The slave and maid obey, and they will do as they are told." Wang Chengen agreed.

“…… By the way, the oil residue road that is now paved is padded with Sanhe soil, and you might as well try it with this kind of ash, maybe there will be any difference. Yang Gaicao said again. ,

"Slave obeys!" Wang Chengen agreed again.

Yang changed the grass to Shu \\1 breath, the road repair, it is basically the twentieth century, the seventies and eighties, the level of road construction in the countryside of China, according to the current car that runs at most one ton, the problem should not be big.

After a while, Fu Mingde and Xiao Shunzi also arrived, originally they went to the Qianqing Palace, but they heard that the emperor went outside, and ran over again.

"Slave and maid knock to see Your Majesty!" , Fu Mingde and Xiao Shunzi are respectful and respectful well salutes.

"No need, get up," Yang Gaicao said with a smile.

The two of them also wondered, this scene is really strange, what is this for?

So many people, so many cauldrons? Smoke and fire.

"Do you two know what this is for?" , Yang Gaicao asked with a smile, looking at his two henchmen, Yang Gaicao had a heart to joke.

"Back to Your Majesty, the slave is estimated to be mō, I'm afraid I'm building a road, I'm just curious, how can I use this thing to build a road, can this be done?" , Fu Mingde was the first to come back to his senses, he had seen the road of Sanhetu, and he also knew what the emperor had done recently, and saw that many people were pouring that kind of black thing on the road to Sanhetu, and he knew that it was probably related to the construction of the road.

"Fu Mingde, your eyes are very powerful! Yes, this is to build a road, I called you here today, there is something, I want to tell you, the four-wheeled carriage subsidy, I am ready to officially start "Once started, can the carriage in the carriage yard be built?" Yang Gaicao said with a smile, the subsidy has not been settled, one is that the funds are not in place: the production capacity of the second carriage yard is also limited, and it is necessary to give priority to disaster relief.

"Go back to Your Majesty" There is no problem, the slave and maid promise that they will not miss the important affairs of Your Majesty, and the slave and maid will make as many ...... as they want", Fu Mingde swore and promised.

"Well, can you build 100,000 vehicles a year?" , Yang Gaicao suddenly asked.

"100,000 ......", although Fu Mingde was mentally prepared, he could be startled, "This number is too much."

"Hehehe...... Fu Mingde, come on! Just now you told me that you can have as much as you want, if you can't make a "hehehe......" by then, Yang Gaicao laughed and teased Fu Mingde.

Fu Mingde was embarrassed, he was very embarrassed to be teased by the emperor, and he had just said too much.

“…… Fu Mingde, this is not my casual nonsense, but I have to prepare for it in a practical way, "Understand?" Yang Gaicao was a little serious, indicating the importance of the matter.

"The slave and maid understand, the slave and the maid understand, and they will not mistake His Majesty's affairs!" , Fu Mingde then knew that the emperor was not joking with him, saying that 100,000 is estimated that there are not 100,000, and there are tens of thousands.

"Well, it's good to understand, I don't want to care too much about how to do it, you can do it yourself, by the way, I will talk about it again, Sun Yuanhua's affairs in Tianjin, you should also know, I think that if you want to reduce costs, you should prefabricate a lot of things over there, such as the steering one, and then transport the prefabricated parts to the capital and assemble them into cars in the capital, so that the cost and the speed of building the car may increase a lot, otherwise, all of them will be made in Beijing, I am afraid that you will not be busy, and the cost will not be reduced......" Yang Gaicao mentioned.

"Back to His Majesty, the slave maid wrote down the ......" Fu Mingde immediately agreed, and was ready to do as the emperor said.

"Good!" , Yang Gaicao said.

Zhu Shun listened to the emperor's words, and also broke out in a cold sweat, the carriage had to be built for 100,000 yuan, which was really terrifying, and the emperor's appetite was not ordinary.

"Little Shunzi!" Yang Gaicao said again.

"The slave is here." Zhu Shun cautiously agreed.

"The subsidy is about to start, how to get the invoice, you know?" , Yang Gaicao asked with a smile.

"Back to Your Majesty, Your Majesty rest assured, the slaves and maids guarantee that there is no problem, except for the carriages made in the carriage yard, the slaves and maids will not give invoices, guaranteeing that they will not get a penny...... Zhu Shun said immediately.

Yang Gaicao thought for a while and said: "The two of you are both people I trust, both are family members, I hope you will implement my intentions well, don't misunderstand what I mean, let alone misunderstand my things,...... Do you understand what I mean? Yang Gaicao said some ambiguous words with some unease, subsidy this matter, from the experience of later generations, there are too many cats to play, and there are many things about empty gloves and white wolves, Yang Gaicao does not want to have the kind of situation where his money goes out with the front foot and the back foot goes into the pocket of the relevant person. Therefore, Mō said some of these words ambiguously, hoping that these two people would take care of it. ,

"Slave and maid understand! Your Majesty can rest assured that the slave will not let Your Majesty down. The two of them assured the emperor that there was no problem with a serious face, and the emperor understood what he meant as soon as he heard it, and the emperor asked everyone to keep their hands and feet clean.

"Okay, since you know, then I won't say more, the subsidy, just do as previously set, the cheaper the carriage, the more subsidized, the more expensive, the less subsidy, understand?" , Yang changed the grass scale and filled the sentence.

"Slave understands!" , The two of them replied again that the cheaper the spoon, the more it means that this may be a car that a farmer buys, and it may be a car that a small trader wants to buy, and it may be a car that a small trader wants to buy, and it is a strong, cheap, and able to transport goods, and the cheaper the more subsidies mean to give more benefits to the small people, and expensive cars, basically bought by people like eunuchs and wealthy businessmen, they have money, so they don't need to subsidize them more, they have a car, they can file several cheap cars, and now the emperor's meaning is to make more carriages as much as possible, more people can use the carriage.

And Fu Mingde, Zhu Shun said a conversation, not long after, Wang Chengen reported again, said that the news of Liulizhai came, the craftsman who knew how to do also came, Sichuan does have such a thing, because it took over the world's salt production, it is also necessary to summarize the world's salt production situation, Sichuan happens to be one of the world's main salt production areas, therefore, salt well salt production this way is not a rare thing, Sichuan's salt well is not a day or two to dig is not a day or two, there was a long time ago, the well of a hundred zhang, abounding, three hundred zhang is not a strange thing, Salt wells are often opened, and a well that can be used to boil salt is also opened by the way, which is considered to kill multiple birds with one stone. , It should be natural gas, it is indeed very good, the ancient people knew the use of natural gas, the ancient people were not as ignorant as modern people thought, natural gas is also a branch of the oil industry, speaking of which, Sichuan Yanjing should be the ancestor of the oil industry. ，

Leaving the road construction site in full swing, Yang Gaicui returned to the Qianqing Palace with some unfinished thoughts, and wrote a letter to Yuanhua with a pen, telling him that the ash burned by this kind of Sanhe soil, the name of which is called "cement" from today, is considered to be the name of the imperial gift, and he immediately applied for a patent, prohibiting others from producing, and doing exclusive trading.

This kind of gray pond is not leaking, and it is now being tried to build houses, and may be used to build castles in the future......

Now urgently need a batch of "cement" to burn out as soon as possible, may have to be used in Liaodong, in addition, Shanghai to large-scale construction, if you can use this cement to do things that glue the wall joints, it must be good, if you wipe it outside the wall, it can also be waterproof, it is rainy in the south, it is very suitable, this thing comes out, the demand must be great, it will definitely be a good deal, technology, workers, selected by him, the shopkeeper by the Liuli Zhai faction, the account by the palace faction. In addition to building a factory, further research is needed on the xìng energy of this thing.

After writing to Sun Yuanhua, he wrote to Li Yanyifu again, telling them that they were very satisfied with this kind of thing to build a road, and they might build a road from the capital to Tongzhou, and they needed at least four hundred cars of this kind of thing, so that they could prepare it as soon as possible, if it was not enough, the price of lamp oil should be reduced again, if it was not enough, it would be reduced again, and it was necessary to prepare these oil residues properly, and the oil residue would not be in vain for them, and each car of oil residue should be given five hundred silver coins for them to send to the capital.

As for the matter of digging wells, there are already eyebrows, there are salt wells in Sichuan, which can be dug hundreds of zhang underground and used to dig oil, there should be no problem, and experts in this area will soon go to Shaanxi. @。
