Chapter 223 Influence (guarantee 2)
"The guards are in place!" Another loud roar came.
"Bang" "Bang" In an instant, the originally extremely quiet team began to move directly. This time, everyone turned into a jogging movement. As they continued to jog, the five soldiers in the original rows directly turned into two rows, and before Li Yi could see clearly, they had already stood neatly on both sides of the road.
With a loud and dull sound of "bang", the soldiers standing on both sides of the road smashed the spear in their hands to the ground almost at the same time, forming two human walls on both sides of the original road!
"Please speak with the leader!" At this time, Huo Zhengcai, who was standing next to Huo Gang, spoke loudly.
Huo Gang, who was waiting on the side, walked forward two steps. His platform was not high, just over two meters high, but he could clearly see the expressions on the faces of everyone standing behind the soldiers at this moment.
Everyone looked serious, and their eyes were filled with admiration, fanaticism, curiosity, gratitude, etc., but the only thing they didn't was fear and fear. Not only could Huo Gang see it, but Li Yi and other city lords standing around Huo Gang also saw it.
"The people of the great man!" Huo Gang cleared his throat and spoke loudly.
"Today is the day when our Han Dynasty's first concrete official road is opened to traffic, which means our Han Dynasty has taken a new step. This official road means that our Han Dynasty will embark on a brand new road, an unprecedented road!"
"The construction of this official road was built with a total of 30,000 road construction workers under the leadership of our third-level craftsman Wang Luo, a great man! And they are still continuing to build new roads!"
"In the future, we will have a second and third roads that will be continuously built successfully, and our official roads will increase and increase until they are built into all the towns of our Dahan! Today, this first road will be officially named: Wanmin Road!"
"It represents the joint efforts of hundreds of thousands of people of our Han Dynasty! In the future, a stone tablet will be erected on the side of the Wanmin Road, and all the names of everyone who built this road will be carved on it! Let all future generations remember it!"
When Huo Gang said this, the crowd below was completely in agitation, and many people couldn't help but cheer directly. When did these ordinary people see such a formation? Huo Gang is equivalent to erecting a monument to all of them!
"In addition, starting today, the reconstruction work of Yumen Pass will officially begin! Similarly, all the craftsmen who rebuilt Yumen Pass will be engraved on the city walls! You are an integral part of the entire Han Han, and similarly, every bit of what you have done will be recorded in every corner of the Han Han!"
"Now I announce! Wanmin Road is officially opened to traffic!"
As Huo Gang's voice fell, he pulled a red silk cloth next to him with force. When was a long section of red silk that was set up near the city gate, he immediately divided into two, and the road in the middle naturally moved away.
"Frame!" After the red silk fell, the driver at the front of the carriage team that had been arranged had raised his whip and shouted with an excited tone.
With the sound of the coachman's whip, the horse pulling the carriage immediately moved its own steps, stepped onto the concrete road, and drove directly forward quickly.
The long carriage convoy behind them started instantly, and the crowd around them immediately burst into cheers again.
But no one rushed onto the road, but everyone was waiting for the carriages to leave first.
Today's ceremony is not solemn, because there is not enough time, and it is just a road. After the first five-year plan is completed, at least after the reconstruction of Yumen Pass is completed, Huo Gang will definitely hold a big ceremony at that time! At that time, it will probably not only be the great man who comes to watch the ceremony!
The long convoy of horse-drawn carriages quickly moved away with the road. At this time, Li Yi came to his senses from everything around him. He first bowed to Huo Gang next to him and said, "Captain Huo is indeed all elite soldiers and generals. These soldiers are simply the most elite troops I have ever seen."
"He is polite to the head of the Li family. Our big man is a small force. He is not as good as the Tang Dynasty. These are not up to the top." Huo Gang said lightly.
Follow the official account: Book Friends Base Camp, follow it and get cash and order coins!
It’s true that I can’t get on the table now, but in a few years, I don’t know.
"Captain Huo is polite, but I wonder if I can go down and see this Wanmin Road?"
"Of course." Huo Gang said with a smile.
The carriages below were already far away, and the crowds around also rushed onto the open Wanmin Road. Although the road construction workers had come up when the road was built, and some workers in charge of maintenance also knew what the concrete road looked like.
But now the surrounding people are all residents of Yumen Pass. They didn’t know it before, but they just heard some of their families say it. As for the road construction workers and craftsmen, they are not here because they are still building Yumen Pass to Hei Tie Town and Yiwu City.
Hei Tie Town is where the iron mine is located. A small town was also established there, which was built on the iron mine, so it was called Hei Tie Town.
The soldiers below have placed the plaque on the side of the road, which is a plaque carved out of wood, with the words Wanmin Road written on it. After a while, it will be replaced by stone carvings.
After the placement was completed, the soldiers had already returned to the city. They were Hu Ben, who was affiliated with the city defense. They also had their own tasks, and Huo Gang was naturally responsible for his personal guards.
From the platform, Li Yi had already walked on the road curiously. He first stomped his feet on the ground, felt the hardness of his feet as hard as a stone, then he simply squatted down and stroked it with his hands.
It is no different from the feeling under his feet. It is indeed the same as the stone, but the blue-gray road surface is extremely flat. The most important thing is that it is obviously not cut from the mountain directly, because the road surface is more than 1 zhang wide, and there is a gap every 1 and a half meters away.
But Li Yi felt that the gap seemed to be deliberately left out. Such a wide stone pavement could not be a stone cut directly from the mountain. If that was true, unless Huo Gang used his divine power, not human power, just like the legend.
Because it is almost impossible for people to complete such a project within two months.
"Captain Huo, I don't know these things are..." Li Yi hesitated and asked.
"Cement." Huo Gang smiled. He was not going to hide it because cement was to be used on a large scale, so he would not hide it. However, they should not want to know how to make cement.
There seem to be many workers entering and leaving the Industrial City every day, but in fact, the workers such as grinding powder and ingredients are carefully selected workers. These people... can almost be said to be fanatical believers of Huo Gang.
Almost all Turks are Turks, and it is impossible for others to get close to the Industrial City. Not to mention the early warning ability of the spirit of Huo Gangyumen, it is impossible for the Turks around them to let any strangers in.
Moreover, all people working in the Industrial City need to issue their own business cards, and the core formulas, production methods, etc. are all in the hands of different people.
So Huo Gang is not worried about leaking the secret.
"Cement?" Li Yi looked at Huo Gang with some confusion.
"Well, it's a material that can mix stone sand and quickly form this kind of solid road surface." Huo Gang didn't explain too much, but he also explained to Li Yi.
"Is this... sold?" Li Yi hesitated for a moment and asked.
"Sorry, I won't sell it for the time being, because we don't use it enough for ourselves." Huo Gang said with a smile.
"So, I will sell it in the future." Li Yi's expression suddenly became brighter.
"Of course, if we have enough output, I will definitely sell it." Huo Gang said simply, but Huo Gang didn't know when the specific enough output would be satisfied.
Because nothing else, the cement consumed by the city wall with a circumference of 12 kilometers in Xinyumen Pass is an astronomical figure, not to mention that it is not just Yumen Pass, it also needs to build roads within the territory of the entire Han Dynasty.
Although the cement production will continue to expand later, at present, no matter how much cement production in this world is expanded, it is probably not enough to be used within a few years.
"I hope that by then, our Li family in Longxi can get the right to operate cement." Li Yi immediately spoke.
"Of course there is no problem. In this way, Master Li, let's go to the general's house to discuss?" Huo Gang said with a smile.
"good!"
After returning to the General's Mansion, Huo Gang did not hide it, but said directly: "Master Li, I heard from the people below that your Longxi Li family has brought us less and less food recently. I wonder why?"
Of course Huo Gang knew this reason himself, but he still had to ask, because he was very eager for food before, and now the food supply is reduced, so he must ask.
Li Yi hesitated immediately, and after a long time he spoke: "To be honest, the leader has not only reduced the food, but we may not be able to provide food later."
"Oh? Could it be that the head of the Li family wants to go back on his word?" Huo Gang remained silent, but asked back.
"Not, it's that there is a possibility of large-scale famine in the entire Tang Dynasty." Li Yi took a deep breath, and did not hide it from Huo Gang, but said it directly.
"I hope to hear it carefully." Huo Gang asked with a curious look on his face, but he took it seriously.
People in this era don’t know, but how could Huo Gang, who came from more than a thousand years later, not know? The climate... can be said to be a tangle of the whole body, and the butterfly effect can be said to be clear about everyone. It can be said that the climate of the entire earth and the whole world are connected.
