Chapter 426

The cement pavement consumes the most, of course, cement. So Wang Yang immediately went to find Wan Bin after leaving the government office and found out that now, the guy has made eight fire kilns to burn cement, which can produce 32,000 kilograms per day.

Such a production seems to be quite large, but if calculated in terms of tonnes, it is only sixteen tons. You should know that a heavy truck in later generations would be fine to pull thirty or fifty tons of cement.

In other words, these eight fire kilns are not enough for a heavy truck in later generations.

"...If you work overtime, the output can double, which should be enough, right?" Wan Bin saw Wang Yang frowning and looked dissatisfied, and quickly said again.

"Not enough. Now, because of the renovation of the Yujie Street, the renovation of the toilet and ditches can only be temporarily stopped. Therefore, it is better for you to open a few more kilns for me to boil cement. At least one hundred thousand kilograms a day is guaranteed. If there is still more, it would be even better."

What Wang Yang wants to do is to strive for cement pavement that can blind everyone. In order to highlight the convenience and firmness of cement, Wang Yang is ready to go unnatural.

The more you can complete it in the shortest time, the more shocking it will be, and everyone knows that I, Mr. Wang, are just creating all kinds of impossible things.

Wan Bin is also an excellent businessman who likes to challenge high difficulties. He also realized that if this cement pavement could be built in the shortest time and the people of Bianliang would all recognize the advantages of cement, then at that time, why should he worry about sales?

"Okay, I'll have three more kilns to burn cement. In addition, let those brothers build three more kilns, no, five kilns. In this way, at most, ten days later, two shifts will start in turn, and at least 120,000 kilograms of cement can be used every day. How about it?"

After the discussion and confirmation, news came from Tushan that only 20,000 to 30,000 kilograms of gravel per day. As for lime, fine sand, etc., you have as many things as you want.

It doesn’t matter if there are fewer stones. In this era, there are no heavy trucks worth dozens of tons, so you will be worried about crushing the road. The heaviest fear in this era is to load a ox, carriage or carriage of one or two thousand kilograms. Do you need to be afraid of such a carrying capacity?

It doesn't matter if there are fewer stones, and there is no steel bar on the ground. Even Wang Yang decided not to put the bamboo tendons. After all, if the thing is weaved, it will increase the amount of effort.

At worst, you can just increase the amount of cement used. However, cement will heat up, shrink, so you need to separate some ditches on it to facilitate drainage.

Starting the next day, a steady stream of ox carts began to transport cement, sand and gravel to the city. The more than 2,000 original soldiers are now serving as supervisors. They are receiving training from the old craftsmen in one unit with twenty people.

The Yu Street, which is about two miles long and two hundred steps wide, has completely become a crowded construction site.

Countless people are stirring the cement mortar, and after it is stirred, they will start to spread out. The area of ​​each piece of cement mortar is about three meters in size, separated by half an inch thick wooden boards in the middle, and the surface will be as flat as possible and smooth as possible.

However, under the advice of Chen Andao, the art master, all the beautiful cloud patterns were used as much as possible to increase the feeling of height.

More than 2,000 people started working at the same time because of the reasonable division of labor and sufficient raw materials, and the construction was carried out in sections. In addition, Wang Yang also adopted an incentive mechanism, that is, the fixed workload of each group every day. When you complete your fixed workload and still have a surplus, you will receive certain subsidies.

For example, eating two taels of meat per meal has inspired the enthusiasm of the workers. In addition, all the old craftsmen act as supervisors to ensure that every workplace is not on business. As for those young people, they all became bricklayers and learned how to use the tools in their hands to level the cement surface.

With the joint efforts of more than two thousand craftsmen, the cement pavement hardening work of more than two miles, or more than one thousand meters, quickly approached the end.

At the beginning, when all the officials saw this scene, they felt like they were not worried about the big deal. Every day when they went to court, they would point in the direction of the construction site.

But starting from the fourth day, it seems that every day, the imperial streets from Xuande Gate to Zhuque Gate will become the same, and the clean and tidy, and very huge cement hardened road surfaces appear before people's eyes.

This really makes people feel out of the way, as if they are changing every day, and there are still very drastic changes.

At the beginning, the ministers who were still discriminating and ridiculing as prisoners who could complete this section of the road by the end of this autumn gradually became silent and looked at the changes in front of them with a surprised look.

After hearing this, Zhao Xu, the emperor of the Song Dynasty, also climbed the gatehouse of Xuande Gate to see it twice. He was surprised to find that it was only ten days before and half of it was completed. It really made Zhao Xu feel a little reluctant to believe his gaze.

However, he did not ask Wang Yang for inquiries. Instead, after the scattering court, he would rush to the gatehouse of Xuande Gate to look at the workers, watch the workers pour buckets of cement mortar, stir, and then put the wooden boards on and start to level the cement surface.

Then wait until the surface dries a little and then press down the cloud pattern, then cover the wet sack, and then wait for a day or two before lifting the sack, and you can see huge and flat cement surfaces with beautiful patterns appearing in three meters.

Half a month later, Gao Taotao finally had some time and decided to ask about the progress of the project, but Chen Andao's words almost made her think that she was having auditory hallucinations.

"What did you say, Chen Qing?" Gao Taotao asked in surprise, and he was stunned and slid his ears. "What do you mean by saying that you are about to finish the work."

"Empress, what I mean is that the renovation and hardening road work from Xuande Gate to Zhuque Gate is about to end..." Chen Andao couldn't help but say a little regretfully.

Chen Andao has been holding on for a while, just like a game player is holding on to his ultimate move. When he was about to take shape, he suddenly took a needle on the other side, oh...

Just like now, after the renovation of the imperial street from Xuande Gate to Zhuque Gate was completed, he jumped out and scared everyone, but now he is still a little short of his work. It will take a few days to finish, but now he has lost the filling.

#####

"Chen Qing family, aren't you joking? How long has it been? Half a month has passed, and it's still several days away from the beginning of autumn. Do you think the construction is about to be completed?" Gao Taotao widened his eyes in disbelief and said angrily. Could this old boy fool him, right?

"Empress, how dare I deceive you? I have seen it in person yesterday. Now, the area near the Zhuque Gate and the river between the Imperial Road and the Imperial Road have not been completed, and other places have already ended."
