Chapter 2503: History of change (3)

On this day, the Ministry of Civil Affairs under the General's Government, Shang Shuxun or Luoyang, went to Yingchuan's hometown.
There are five hundred generals guarding him, dozens of little girls in the family, plus a dozen local carriages with gifts, and walking on the road is not majestic.
After leaving Luoyang City, a spacious and flat cement official road immediately appeared.
Sitting in a spacious and luxurious four-wheeled carriage, Xun may not feel the slightest bumps, although he has something in mind, he still has to admire the general's means for these small things.
I don't know where the general got the recipe. He used the simplest volcanic ash, mixed with clay and sand, and made Laozizi cement, which is widely used in construction and road construction.
Once launched, cement has become a fragrant bun in various local governments, whether it is to repair the city wall to strengthen the city defense, or to build roads and bridges, or to reinforce the water conservancy facilities. It has become a sought-after commodity once it appears. .
It’s just that I don’t know why. The general seems to be quite familiar with the use of cement. It doesn’t give the local government a chance to mess up. All the cement is in the hands of the general. According to the general’s personal inspection and planning, the unified distribution and where it is used There are strict regulations on the amount of consumption. After the construction is completed, it will be subject to strict inspection. Once the quality is not up to standard, or there is some greasyness in it, the general will not be weak at all. Either cut the official or send it directly to the prison. It is a deterrent to a group of Xiaoxiao people!
However, cement is really a good thing, and it has obvious effect on strengthening roads, bridges and other buildings. According to the generals, it can at least maintain a life cycle of hundreds of years.
Whether it can be maintained for hundreds of years, Xun or don’t know and don’t care, but after the cement began to fill up various buildings, it is indeed a lot more convenient. This is a fact.
For example, the official road, there is a huge gap between the construction of cement and the useless cement. In terms of the comfort of travel alone, the cement official road will overcome the gravel dirt road before it.
It's just a pity that the general did not know what kind of considerations, and he never let go of the production process of cement. At the same time, there were strict regulations on the cement workshop controlled by the general. The annual production of cement is limited. The use of cement in the construction has almost broken the head.
Every time I think that the gang of officials want to roll up their sleeves to fight for the cement share, Xun or they can't help but chuckle, but his civil ministry is still entangled.
But he also understands the difficulty of the general. Some things can be done, and some things can't be started, otherwise it is not a joke to blame the infinite.
"Cement is a good thing. Although volcanic ash is not sand and stone everywhere, it is not difficult to find. There is only one flaw, that is, the production of cement will cause great pollution to nearby water sources. One is not well controlled. May cause serious consequences!"
I remember when he took a cadre of officials from the Ministry of Civil Affairs to find a general, hoping that the general could open up restrictions on cement production, the general told them so.
Not only that, the general also specially took them to the largest cement production workshop nearby to check it out, the harsh environment covered with dust, and the river flowing through the nearby became turbid and gray, he and his officials from the Ministry of Civil Affairs suddenly There is nothing to say.
Of course, there is such an inconvenience. The cement workshop of the General General's House is still rapidly spreading over the land under the rule of eight states, but the annual cement production is increasing again and again!
As a result, a whole industrial chain has been formed, including raw material collection, production, transportation, and pollution reduction. It has fed hundreds of thousands of workers. Even if there is no harm to cement, at this time, except the general No courage to stop!
However, the use of a large amount of cement soon saw results, and the main state roads became more spacious and flat. Both the speed of walking and traveling increased, and the wear on shoes and wheels was not as large as it used to be.
There are also large-scale river water conservancy projects, such as dams and storage dams, which are countless times stronger than before, and have also passed the test of scouring when the river is flooding.
Not only that, after using cement in farmland water conservancy projects, they basically got rid of the trouble of having to renovate every few years.
It can be said that the advent of cement has greatly promoted all aspects of the eight states under the rule of the General. As the Ministry of Civil Affairs Shang Xun, Xun may feel deeply about it.
However, it is very strange that the General’s government uses cement in many aspects, and the planning and design are quite good. Not only is it applied to the present, but even possible future changes have been considered.
However, in terms of the most important wall repairs, the general is extremely stingy, and he can't even score a little bit of points, which makes Xun or others very puzzled.
"What's the use of the city wall, it looks tall and sturdy, but it can't stand the bombardment of first-rate masters!"
The general’s answer was also irresponsible:
Besides, the number of people who have settled in the cities is increasing. The so-called big cities used to be overwhelmed. In the future, the city’s scale must be expanded. Does even the city wall expand together?"
"The amount of such a project is too large. With the financial strength of the General General's House, Luoyang and the prefectural cities can do it. It's not very interesting!"
"Can't wait for a few years, maybe the scope of the city has to continue to expand. Should the new wall be built soon, should it be expanded again?"
"It's not that bad to have money. I'd rather not want something like a city wall, and I don't want to waste a lot of money on the expanding city wall in the future!"
"Don’t say anything as important as the city wall, except for the border cities, the environment in the hinterland of Bazhou is calm and peaceful. However, if the local government has no confidence in the management of local law and order, then it can be replaced by a promising one. There are a lot of talents in the General's Mansion now!"
Thinking of some grotesque thoughts of General General, he felt ridiculous and unreasonable. However, after careful consideration, there was no lack of reason. In the end, the freshman officers often had to pinch their noses to recognize it.
Fortunately, the general did not act too ridiculously, or there was nothing ridiculous at all. Some actions might not be understandable, but the taste gradually came out over time.
Sure enough, it is the general general of all martial arts and martial arts, and only such a person can control the land of the Central Plains in just a dozen years, and the governance is far superior to Qin and Han.
Sometimes think about it, the so-called rule of the Three Emperors and Five Emperors, is not comparable to the prosperity of the Central Plains?
In addition to cement, there is also a four-wheeled horse-drawn carriage, which is what the general has ordered his artisans to make, which is of great help for travel and freight circulation.
Compared with the previous two-wheeled carriage, the four-wheeled carriage has a larger area and can load more goods. It is the most fashionable travel tool in recent years.
For example, Xun or the Ministry of Civil Affairs still have official-style four-wheel carriage configurations specially customized by the General General, which are quite suitable for travel, office and rest.
With these senior general officials as an example, the following local giants, giant merchants, and even a few family-owned people will buy a four-wheeled horse-drawn carriage made by the car workshop under the rule of the Ministry of Industry. It's pretty good as an identity performance or as an actual use.
It’s not good at all. The wooden wheels are still running on the flat concrete road. Once they reach the gravel road, it is really bumpy. Even when driving on a cement road, the wheels and road wear are also quite severe.
Fortunately, the skilled craftsmen of the Ministry of Industry and Technology made out straw-woven outer wheels, which could slow down the cabin vibration and wheel wear, but they had to change to a new set of straw-woven outer wheels every few tens of years.
Of course, this idea is inconvenient. There is no hindrance to wealthy people and senior officials like him. However, as long as the road is cement paved, the carriage is generally used. This is a meteor trend in recent years. Signs of getting stronger.
Xun or a group of hundreds of mighty people, and full of sergeant sergeants guard, at first glance is the official travel, pedestrians and businessmen on the road have evaded.
Fortunately, the cement road is really spacious and can drive six four-wheeled carriages side by side, so that it will not crowd pedestrians on the road down the official road to make people disgusted.
It is said that the generals did not know what the idea was. When the cement official road was built before, it was not without the bureaucratic proposal to make the road, the official road and the civil road came out, but it was directly rejected by the general and there was no extra effort to make these false heads. Ba Na's stuff.
According to the general’s statement, if you want to show your status, you don’t need to do it so deliberately. If you can tell someone else to see the extraordinary, it’s the real superior. Playing such a method on these small details is meaningless and wasteful. .
This is also the reason ~EbookFREE.me~Cement official road outside the city, there are usually a few officials walking, and it is a waste to consume a section of road for nothing.
Xun or when the Ministry of Civil Affairs is still used to it, everything has to be calculated, and the natural support of the people who feel good, such as such things that are wasted for face, or forget it.
Fortunately, General General is not the one who likes to rehearse, as long as it is a policy of benefiting the people, basically it will not be implemented at a discount. For some officials who want to rely on slippery to shoot Ma Xingjin, as long as they don't do too much, they open their eyes and close their eyes, but they are not stunned by the good words.
He leaned on the soft pillow, his body undulated slightly with the carriage, and he held a recently published Tao Gong business volume in his hand, thinking casually while looking at some of it.
The changes under the rule of the General’s Mansion in these years are so great that even a man of wisdom like him feels a little unreal. Every time he goes out of the city, he can feel this kind of clarity. I don’t know if other colleagues have this Feeling?
Half asleep and half awake, the party arrived at a post twenty miles away. After the housekeeper asked him for his opinion, the party clambered into the post and occupied several yards...
