Datang: Li Shimin begged me to rebel

No need to wait two days later, on the second day, a large number of ships continuously transported materials through the canal and piled them up outside the Golden Light Gate, and then they were guarded by people. We all know things like stones, sand, etc., but the most conceivable use is for laying foundations. .

At the same time, a large number of people outside the Golden Light Gate came here to register and sign contracts.

Li Ke arranged for a hundred people to register here.Ancient engineering relied on a large number of people.

The registration of people lasted until the afternoon. In the evening, Tian Meng made a summary for Li Ke. Not counting the 3000 strong laborers among the [-] refugees gathered before, just the number of people who worked this time, the number of registered people today is There are [-] people, including about [-] women who cook.

About 3 people, the early stage is enough.

In the early morning of the third day, before the curfew was lifted, Su Dingfang had sealed off all the west section of Suzaku Heng Street, and all the people had gathered outside the city ahead of time. According to a group of 100 people, it is divided into 240 groups.Then it is divided into different tasks such as transporting raw materials, mixing raw materials, prying open the original floor tiles of Chang'an City, and compacting the foundation.

Li Ke doesn't need to worry about these aspects, but he still came here today, standing on the city wall and watching the people below direct the work.

The people in the advanced field first pried up all the original bluestone slabs on the street. As the main street of Chang'an, the roads under these slabs are actually very tight. However, Li Ke still made a large number of cast iron ingots for tamping. Base.

With the chant of these laborers, the dull sound of "boom" and "boom" came continuously, and the master in front was measuring the laying distance by prying up the intact bluestone slab.

Two hours later, Tian Meng sent a message to Li Ke, "Your Highness, we only need to lay the concrete pavement about 260 steps from the city gate, and the rest of the intact bluestone slabs can complete the paving of the rest of the pavement."

Datang step is a unit of length, one foot is 10 inches, one step is 5 feet, one zhang is 10 feet, and one mile is [-] steps.

One step is the average length of continuous strides of the left and right feet.Li Ke once took out a modern ruler from the space and converted it. One step is about 1.52 meters, and one foot is about 0.31 meters. There may be errors, but it is basically this figure.

"Okay, let's lay out these 260 steps today and show everyone!" Li Ke said with a smile.

"Yes!"

Following Li Ke's order, the 260 steps, including the inside of the city gate, began to be compacted, sanded, and crushed, and continued to be compacted, followed by concrete mixing.

Chang'an City has a complete water system, so getting water is not a problem. The craftsmen who have already tested it weighed it with a large scale according to the proportion of the test, and then mixed gravel, river sand, and cement in different proportions, and then used wooden frames. The frame is laid, and then the concrete begins to be laid inside.

The amount of concrete mixed in a single time is not large, because too much mixing is not uniform, and seven or eight strong laborers are constantly mixing from all directions to ensure that the mixing is complete, and finally pour it into the wooden frame, and then there are people wearing special leather boots Go straight in, hold the wooden stake in your hand and stir it constantly to avoid leaving any air.

There are a large number of people watching the excitement around. They don't know what this is doing. It feels like mud. Can the road built by this thing work?

At last, the mason stood on the specially-made wooden planks and began to smooth the entire road. When night fell, the 300-meter road was basically completed, and special cork boards were placed in the middle of the road at intervals. expansion joints.

In the early morning of the next day, as soon as the city gate was opened, someone took straw and covered the entire road with straw from the erected plank road.

The materials for the two-day construction have been transported to the city yesterday, and the canals are connected to many diversion canals in Chang'an City, but all the canals have iron fences at the entrances of the city, so that people cannot enter .

For the time being, no cement will be used in these two days. Instead, all the stone slabs in the west section of Suzaku Heng Street will be pried up first, and then the foundation below will be laid thoroughly before laying.

The project here is proceeding in an orderly manner, but the whole Chang'an city is a little uncertain in the eyes of the caring people. What is Li Ke playing with?They have already sent people, and even came to the scene to see it in person. Those gray things, like mud, can be used as a road when stones and sand are mixed together?

Isn't this self-deception? !

Changsun Wuji and the others were all waiting to see the joke, but they didn't know how many days Li Ke would open the first repaired road of about [-] steps in length? !

There are many people staring here every day.

But what they didn't expect was that Li Ke didn't wait long at all. On the second day, some water was sprinkled on the road, and it didn't move on the third day. On the fourth day, Li Ke announced that the road was safe It's open to the outside world!

Li Shimin, who knew the news, couldn't bear it anymore: "Isn't this a nonsense?! Come and follow me to the scene to see, who is this fooling? Mix some stones and sand with mud and you can use it as a road?"

Because it happened to be the court meeting, Li Shimin simply took almost all the ministers straight to the project site. Li Ke was showing everyone today, so he was naturally there.

Before Li Ke started here, he got the news that Li Shimin had brought ministers here, he rolled his eyes, and immediately said in a low voice: "Hurry up, let's announce to the public that the road is temporarily closed to the public today, and it will continue to open after a while. "

Tian Meng decisively announced.

Su Dingfang: "..." He was right behind Li Ke, and Li Ke didn't hide it at all. Su Dingfang suddenly felt a little awkward. Li Ke's behavior...is this considered bullying?

He suddenly thought of the servant Chang next to His Majesty, and he didn't know how the servant persisted.

The people on Li Ke's side have just announced the news to the surrounding people. Although the people are strange, there are not many people leaving. There are also many people who watch the project here every day to watch the excitement.

And this news quickly reached Li Shimin who was halfway there. He was stunned for a moment, and then he became a little angry. What is this kid doing?After everyone came out, Li Shimin naturally couldn't return, so he went straight to the construction site.

When Li Shimin came, Li Ke pretended to be surprised and asked, "Father? Why are you here?"

"Why did I come here? I'll come and see the road you built!" Li Shimin said angrily.

"This...Father, what are you doing here? The road hasn't been repaired yet." Li Ke glanced at the officials behind Li Shimin, and immediately said with a embarrassed face.

"Oh? Is it? It's not fixed. If it's not fixed, don't you want to open it?" Li Shimin sneered and asked without changing his face.

"This is my son's test. Dad and all the ministers. This is a construction site. There are many people here. Please go back. It's not safe and it's too dirty. After it's repaired some other day, my son will definitely bring everyone here. Li Ke said "hastily", and while speaking, he stretched out his hand to support Li Shimin's arm and was about to walk outside.

With Li Ke like this, Li Shimin's heart skipped a beat. Could it be that this kid messed up with something?But even if it's messed up, it's not enough to hide it from yourself, right?Only less than [-] steps have been repaired, and Chang'an City is not finished, even if it is messed up, there is still a chance to recover.

After hesitating for a while, Li Shimin didn't force him to see it, but he couldn't just leave. Instead, he stood where he was and said, "Oh, what you said makes sense, but you can't let others see your way?"

"Well, not yet, but Father, don't worry, the artisans of the ministers have developed a brand new thing, which can mix gravel and river sand and finally turn it into a stone-like whole, which can be used to build roads and cities. Building a bridge is always beneficial! It’s just that the cost may be a bit high, and this son-in-law is also experimenting.” Li Ke said “embarrassed”.

Li Shimin felt that he understood. This kid probably wanted to bypass those quarries and masonry fields, and then create something new. Now it seems that this new thing must have failed.

"Oh, the experiment is also right, what are your shortcomings here?" Li Shimin asked calmly.

"It's just that there are some slate tests missing." Li Ke was overjoyed, hey, his father is so cooperative?

"I heard that there are still some stone slabs left in the project at Daming Palace, or I'll bring them all for you." Li Shimin thought he had guessed it, this kid really had a problem, forget it, let him help him.

"I object!" Changsun Wuji immediately jumped out!
