Chapter 146： Changes in Nanjing City

Nanjing, the main road.

A team of soldiers drove the people away from the street. They were about to start construction and pave the concrete road.

After more than ten days of repeated experiments, the artisans recruited by Tong Youwei have successfully manufactured cement and achieved mass production.

However, due to lack of professional manpower and insufficient raw material preparation, the output is not high, and only a few tons are produced a day.

In order to present the treasure to Wu Changqing, Tong Youwei hurriedly pulled the first batch of ten tons of cement into the city and began to pave the first cement road in history.

In the plan, this concrete road does not need to be too thick, a few centimeters are enough.

After all, there are no heavy trucks in this era, and the thickness of a few centimeters is enough to withstand all kinds of crushing.

"What are you doing?"

Although the people were driven away, they did not go far. Instead, they stood outside the blockade and looked at the construction workers curiously. They could see that those people were building roads, but they couldn't understand the way they were building roads.

In the past, road construction was flattened with yellow mud and then compacted with heavy objects.

But now, those workers are mixing water with a kind of brown soil, adding a small amount of gravel to stir, and finally spreading it on the ground.

This novel way of building roads has opened people's horizons.

There were more and more onlookers, and even some people with identities couldn't help coming over to join in the fun.

"Treasurer Tong, what are you doing?"

Sun Daoming asked Tong Youwei, who was commanding him.

"I can't see it? Of course it's road repairing."

Tong Youwei disdainfully said, he has now climbed up to Wu Changqing, and he is the celebrity next to Wu Changqing, so he looks down on Sun Daoming as well as his level.

"Of course I know that this is building a road, but what is this dark thing, and why should I paint this kind of thing on the ground?"

Sun Daoming didn't mind Tong Youwei's attitude and continued to question.

He knew that it was certainly not a trivial matter to allow Tong Youwei to personally supervise and command. He couldn't understand everything in front of him, and he desperately wanted to understand this unknown.

Businessmen still attach great importance to information.

"This is called cement. It is something invented by Wu Guogong himself. It will become extremely hard when it meets water and can be used to pave the street. From now on, shopkeeper Sun will walk on this street and never have to worry about the dirt on his shoes.

Tong Youwei showed off, this kind of show-off feeling is quite refreshing.

"There is such a magical thing?"

Sun Daoming exclaimed, in his understanding, mud plus water will only turn into mud. How can mud plus water become hard? This is not in line with common sense.

However, this is not the most important thing. The most important thing is that from Tong Youwei's words, he learned that Tong Youwei and Wu Changqing are closely related, otherwise he would not be entrusted with important tasks.

This made Sun Daoming envy and hate, and regretted that he hadn't surrendered to Wu Changqing first, otherwise, it would be himself who had gained power now.

After chatting for a few words, Sun Daoming left to do errands first.

When he returned at noon, he detoured to the main road, wanting to see the so-called cement road in Tong Youwei's mouth.

After several hours of hardening, the concrete road has been shaped and can even be stepped on.

However, because the road section paved at the back has not been completely hardened, the people are not allowed to step on the road and can only walk on the unpaved road on the other side.

Soldiers were still guarding the roadside, but Sun Daoming's status was unusual, and he gave the guarding soldiers a few silvers, so the soldiers didn't stop him from approaching the concrete road.

Sun Daoming touched the road with his hand. He found that the cement road was extremely smooth and hard in texture, even stronger than ordinary stones.

Tsk tut...

Sun Daoming was secretly surprised, this was amazing, it was incredible.

He has also seen craftsmen use clay to make ceramics, but those ceramics need to be fired in a kiln, but this kind of cement can be hardened by mixing with water.

Moreover, this hardness is far better than ceramics.

As a shrewd businessman, Sun Daoming immediately realized the role of this kind of cement.

It can be used not only to pave roads, but also to build houses, paint yards, and build city walls...

The use of so many places indicates that the market for this kind of goods is very large, and as long as they are manufactured, they will not worry about no sales.

This is a good business, but it is a pity that this business is in the hands of Tong Youwei.

How to please Wu Changqing?

Sun Dao obviously thinks, he is not so stupid to think that Tong Youwei will share this business with himself and want to get involved in this business.

Then you can only go the way of Wu Changqing.

After all, Tong Youwei said that this kind of thing was invented by Wu Changqing.

The next day, the soldiers in charge of guarding had been withdrawn, and this section of the road was also opened to the people.

Curious people had already come over and stepped on it cautiously.

Can you be careless? What ordinary people fear most is the government and the army. If this is accidentally trampled on, wouldn't it mean to die?

It's just that this kind of care is completely unnecessary, even if they jump up and stom on hundreds of feet, they can't break the concrete road.

Before heavy trucks with a load of more than ten tons appeared, this kind of road surface was completely sufficient.

"It's so hard, just like granite."

Someone exclaimed.

"Bringing, how can it be as hard as granite, these are all made of mud."

While other people questioned, they tried to step on it.

After they stepped on it, their expressions were immediately the same as those of the previous person, shocked and unbelievable.

Subsequently, more and more people stepped on it and walked up and down on the road to experience this magical road. And those little children ran around on this road long ago.

For a while, the road was crowded with people, and there was no one on the unpaved yellow mud road on the side.

Novelty stuff has always been so favored.

"What are you doing while standing on the road, don't you have to go to work? This road is for you to pass, not for you to have fun."

Tong Youwei came to the main road again and reprimanded the buns.

Those who overplayed forgot to do business and gathered on the road to block the traffic.

When Tong Youwei spoke, those people hurriedly flashed.

"A group of unseen untouchables."

Tong Youwei disdainfully despised him. He had forgotten that when he first saw this concrete road, his performance was not much better than those of untouchables.

"Pave this side with cement. I want to let the grandpa see our results as soon as possible. This is the first cement road in the world."

Tong Youwei gave an energetic order, this is the first concrete road in the world, maybe it will be recorded in the annals of history in the future. Even if it cannot be recorded in the annals of history, it can certainly be recorded in the local chronicles.
