Zhenguan Leisurely King

Chapter 110
"Ah..." Wang Pingan yelled, holding a big knife in his hand, as if he wanted to cut the cement into two pieces with one knife.

Suddenly Wang Pingan put away the sword, handed it to Tieping and said, "Tieping, you are stronger, so you should chop it."

Li Tai's guard saw that after Tieping took Wang Ping'an's sword, and saw that Li Tai's life was not in danger, his dark face eased a lot, but in order to prevent similar incidents from happening again, he planned to beat Wang Pingan if he had the opportunity.

After Tie Ping took the big knife, he chopped it on the cement board without saying a word.

"Clang~~"

The blade brushed against the cement board and sparked, and the big knife left a slight knife mark on the cement board.

"Clang clang clang~~~"

Tieping saw that he had used up all his breastfeeding strength, but only left a slight knife mark on the cement board, and he cut a few times in unbelief.

Suddenly, sparks blazed, and several knife marks were left on the cement board.

"Okay, that's enough, don't cut it down." Wang Pingan restrained Tieping's urge to continue cutting.

Wang Pingan picked up the cement board, looked at the knife marks left on the cement board, nodded with satisfaction and said: "Brother Tai, we have seen the strength of Uncle Lu's cement. Now let's test water and fire, especially on rainy days. There will be no potholes on the loess road." Splash water on the cement slab.Then roast it over fire. " Lu Songjun ordered directly.

The servants picked up the buckets next to them and poured water directly on the cement slab. A large bucket of water was poured directly on the cement slab, and the cement slab was soaked instantly.

Lu Songjun and the others observed carefully again, no, except that the cement board is now wet, which proves that it was watered just now, and there are no traces of being rained at all.

After being cut with a knife and drenched in water, the cement lay on it flat, with no traces at all except shallow knife marks. This allowed Lu Songjun and Li Tai to see the bright future of cement. As for the fire experiment, this There is no need for experiments at all, because no one will burn the road with fire if they have nothing to do.

Lu Songjun picked up the cement board and tried to break it with all his strength, but the cement board did not move at all: "Hiss~~ it is so strong." He gasped and praised at the same time.

Lu Songjun put down the cement in his hand, and said to Li Tai and Wang Ping'an, "His Royal Highness, Ping'an, please come into the study, if you want to discuss with me."

In the study of the governor's mansion.

"His Royal Highness, peace, everyone knows the magical effect of cement. This matter should be presented to the imperial court as soon as possible, so that the imperial court can burn a large amount of cement and make a contribution to the construction of bridges and roads in the Tang Dynasty." Lu Songjun said impassionedly. Said.

"I have no objection to dedicating it to the imperial court, but I object to letting the imperial court build the road by itself." Wang Pingan refused without thinking.

"Why?" It was Li Tai who asked.

"The imperial court builds roads and only loses money. Besides, the imperial court now spends most of its money on military expenditures, and will not spend money on building bridges and paving roads." Wang Pingan explained.

"Then what can you do?"

"Official and private."

"Official and private? Can you explain in detail." Lu Songjun said with interest.

"It means that the official road is contracted to the common people for 20, 50 or 50 years. During the specified period, they will build the road for this official road. For 40 years, they can be used to collect fees, one penny per person, or two pennies, which can be counted at that time." Wang Pingan said in detail.

"To collect tolls, this is really a novel idea. This old man wants to present this matter to His Majesty."

"No, brother Tai and the princess should submit it, but Uncle Lu, you can't participate, and even I can't participate." Wang Pingan quickly stopped.

"Why is this?" Lu Songjun asked in confusion.

Wang Pingan looked at Lu Songjun for a long time before saying: "That's because the benefits generated are too great. How much money, manpower and material resources are needed to build a road? I believe Uncle Lu must not know, because uncle doesn't pay attention to business. There are only people in my heart, and I only know that cement can benefit the country and the people, but I never thought that whether Datang's treasury has enough money to build bridges and pave roads nationwide, the answer is no.

Once His Majesty accepts Uncle Lu's suggestion, he will definitely start handing over the official road to the construction of the private sector. If there is anyone among the private sector who can take over the construction of a road, the answer is no.

Even if there is nothing else, you offer this plan. Do you guess that without His Majesty as the backstage, those censors will attack you. At that time, Wei Zheng should be the first to stand up. At that time, you His official career was ruined by him. "

"This, this... Ping'an is right, the old man's idea is too beautiful. It's just that the cement is a bit wasted." Lu Songjun sighed.

"Uncle, don't be nervous. There are some things that can't be rushed. As long as there is a chance, my nephew will find a way to build roads across the country." Wang Pingan said solemnly.

"Then Ping An, why can I dedicate the toll to my father?" Li Tai asked.

"Because you are the emperor's son, if you submit a good suggestion, His Majesty is too late to be happy. Even if it is finally determined that it cannot be implemented, it shows that you have the heart to build the Tang Dynasty. It is too late to praise you. How can someone talk about you? .” Wang Pingan explained.

"I see."

"Hey!" Lu Songjun sighed secretly in his heart, and said in his heart: "It's really different fate."

After the three discussed the cement countermeasures, Wang Pingan, Li Tai and Lu Songjun said goodbye and went back to Wangjiazhuang, of course they brought the cement back.Before leaving, Wang Pingan also asked Lu Songjun to let the official kiln burn more cement. The construction of Wangjiazhuang needs a lot of cement.

He also invited Lu Songjun to come to Wangjiazhuang tomorrow to preside over the groundbreaking ceremony. Lu Songjun agreed, and kept saying that he couldn't ask for it.

After Wang Ping'an arrived at Wangjiazhuang, he summoned Du Boss and other people from the Sigong Mansion and the craftsmen of Wangjiazhuang, and began to teach them how to use cement and precautions, and required the remaining buildings in Wangjiazhuang to use cement.

Night falls, the sun rises, and the next day is fast approaching.

At the entrance of Wangjiazhuang, all the sacrificial items needed for the groundbreaking ceremony have been placed. Lu Songjun took the lead to preside over the ceremony, and the ceremony was held smoothly.

Lu Songjun stood in front of the crowd, Wang Pingan stood on the left, followed by Boss Du, Lao Mo, Gu Han and others who participated in the construction of Wangjiazhuang and others.

Lu Songjun held up three sticks of incense and shouted loudly: "Now my Wangjiazhuang is building a tourist resort and leisure village. For this purpose, I respect the heaven, the earth, and the gods of the eight directions. I bow, I bow, and I bow three times. After the ceremony, burn the incense."

Lu Songjun didn't call out a single bow, and his body followed suit, followed by Wang Pingan and others. After three consecutive bows, Lu Songjun started by inserting three sticks of incense into the incense burner, and Wang Pingan and others followed suit. The incense was inserted into the incense burner.

Seeing that everyone had finished offering incense, Mr. Lu Song solemnly shouted: "Okay, the upper part has worshiped the sky, the lower part has worshiped the earth, and the gods from all directions have also worshiped. Now we can formally break ground."

"Oh~~~" the crowd roared angrily.

The householders have already known about the fact that Wangjiazhuang will be built into a tourist resort and leisure village through Lao Mo and Boss Du. They are very supportive of Wang Pingan, so one by one they began to abandon their original small houses and live in Wang Pingan's temporary house for them. The small wooden house that was prepared was built next to the farm. Wang Pingan asked Boss Du to build it temporarily. It is still possible to live there temporarily.

Boss Du took out the drawing of the door, looked at the village sign in the shape of an arch, and started discussing with some of his subordinates. Wang Pingan and Lu Songjun just watched from the side and did not intend to participate in it.

Because of the wonderful use of cement and Wang Ping'an's reminder last night, Boss Du and the others have already figured out a plan.

First, they weaved arch-shaped cylindrical frames with bamboo, then filled them with some sand and stone, and finally fixed the pillars on both sides to the ground, and began to pour cement. Soon, an arch-shaped stone pillar village sign has been established before our eyes. , Now we only need to wait for the cement to dry to polish, paint and lettering. A perfect arched village sign is in front of our eyes.
