The Prodigal Son’s Happy Life - Chapter 828

[Chapter 828 Asphalt]

The onlookers dispersed, and after a while, the place was empty except for three or two passers-by.

Fang Xiu stood there, thinking of something, with a thoughtful expression on his face.

The guard next to him breathed a sigh of relief.

In the scene just now, if those guys were really crazy and did something unfavorable to Xin’an Hou, they might not be able to protect Xin’an Hou even if they tried their best.

If that were the case, they would have become sinners.

Fortunately, the final result was very good, everyone was happy, and there were no surprises.

Zhu’er looked at Fang Xiu with admiration and thought to herself: As expected of Mr. Fang, he was able to resolve the crisis so easily with just a few words.

Fang Xiu was still thinking. At this time, a familiar voice sounded in his ears.

“Thank you so much this time, Mr. Fang.”

Fang Xiu heard the voice and raised his eyes. As expected, the person standing in front of him was Lin Wanqing.

Lin Wanqing’s current attire is very different from when she was in Yirenju.

In the past, Lin Wanqing was either charming or charming. In short, her style was changeable, but she couldn’t escape the aura of dust.

Now, he looks very sharp, a bit like the shopkeeper of Buzhuang.

Fang Xiu looked at Lin Wanqing, with a faint smile on his face, and said, “No need to thank you, we are all one family.”

When Lin Wanqing heard this, she somehow remembered the time when she had just met Fang Xiu.

Many pictures flashed through my mind.

First it was the lakeside, then there was Yiren Juli’s heroic attitude of “Fang Gongzi paid for it”, and then there was the ridicule during the Shangyuan Festival.

Lin Wanqing couldn’t help but smile. Just as she was about to speak, she heard Fang Xiu say: “I get half of the dividends from this cloth village, so naturally we are a family.” When

Lin Wanqing heard this, the smile on her face froze for a moment, but she quickly recovered .

He looked at the original situation and said with a smile: “What Mr. Fang said is that this cloth village can be regarded as Mr. Fang’s cloth village.”

Fang Xiu did not continue the topic, but asked: “Nothing happened today, right?”

Lin Wanqing smiled and replied: “Those people just surrounded the cloth village and didn’t do anything. They probably just stepped on a few bricks.

Don’t worry, Mr. Fang, the accounts of the cloth village are all recorded clearly. Even a few green bricks are like this, and they will be included in the dividends when the time comes.”

After hearing this, Fang Xiu raised his eyes and glanced at Lin Wanqing.

A hint of smile flashed in Lin Wanqing’s eyes.

When Fang Xiu saw this, he didn’t say anything. He just waved his hand and said, “That’s good. I still have something to do, so I won’t stay here any longer. The business of this cloth shop will continue. I will come back to see you in a few days.” Yes!”

After saying that, he turned around and left.

Zhu’er hurriedly said: “Master Fang, walk slowly.”

Then, watching Fang Xiu’s back gradually disappear from her sight, she came to the side of her young lady and said with a smile: “Miss, Miss, Mr. Fang is really You are very resourceful. Mr. Fang solved the problem that we have been worrying about for so long.”

When Lin Wanqing heard this, she didn’t know what she thought of, and her expression became a little complicated.

After hesitating for a while, he finally said: “Even if there was no business in Buzhuang, Mr. Fang would still do this. I heard everything he said today. It can’t be a temporary idea.” When

Zhu’er heard this, she gave a slight pause. She was startled and said, “So Mr. Fang has expected this a long time ago?”

Lin Wanqing shook her head gently and said slowly, “I don’t know either.”

Zhu’er murmured to herself, “What if? If Mr. Fang could foresee this, wouldn’t he be a god?”

Lin Wanqing didn’t speak when she heard this, but she said silently in her heart.

At such a young age, he has done so many things. If he is said to be a literary star from the sky who came down to earth, there seems to be no problem.

Just

hey.

Lin Wanqing sighed leisurely, glanced at Zhu’er, and said, “Stop standing there. Mr. Fang has gone away a long time ago. Clean up the cloth shop. Today’s business will continue.”

Zhu’er heard what her young lady said. , her pretty face blushed, and she responded: “Yes, Miss.”

Engineering College.

Several gentlemen were gathering together to discuss building a road.

The leader is naturally the dean of the Materials Research Institute, Tian Zhan.

Tian Zhan looked at his colleagues and said: “The key to road construction is not only how to lay the foundation and how to maintain it, but the most important thing is the materials.

This cement is mixed with sand and gravel. There is no doubt that it is indeed hard enough. If it is paved well and flat enough, it will be much better than a bluestone slab. Even if you hit it with a hammer, you won’t be able to break anything.

However, the amount of cement and gravel required is unimaginable for

Xin’an Hou .

I have said that as long as the road can be built, no matter how much money it costs, it is worth it.

However, we have to consider the cost of

300,000 taels of money. If we use cement to build the road, I am afraid. The land in the capital city cannot be completed.”

Everyone nodded in agreement when they heard this, and said, “This is only the cost of materials. In addition, there is also labor, and there are many more.

When Xin’an Hou wants to build a road, it can’t be because the carriage jolted or something ridiculous like that.

The newly arrived material is called rubber. I saw it yesterday. It can be used for many things, including the wheels of a carriage.

This is almost certain. I can see it without experimenting. That kind of material is really suitable for making carriage wheels.

The speed can be improved a lot.

The Marquis of Xin’an is a smart man who is rare to meet in a thousand years. The reason why he wants to build roads is probably closely related to this rubber.

After all, we all know that Hou Xin’an is extremely concerned about rubber.

Therefore, this road can never be built just to the south of the city.”

“Okay, okay, no one knows what you said. The key today is what kind of materials we use. Is it mixed with the cement that Xin’anhou said? Sand and gravel are still newly discovered materials in Laotian.

What is it called? “

The man said and looked at Tian Zhan.

Tian Zhan said: “Asphalt. He

paused, looked around, and then continued: “This asphalt is produced in large quantities in the Gyeonggi region. In the past, it was just used as silt, and I didn’t think it was of any use. A student from our institute over there brought some of it back.”

I have tried it. If it is heated and then mixed with other materials such as sand and gravel, it can still be used as a pavement, and the effect is very good, not worse than cement.

Although the amount of this asphalt is not mined, no one is mining it. In other words, as long as we send some people to mine the asphalt ourselves, transport it to Kyoto Prefecture, and then pave it into roads, it will be enough, and we can save a lot of money. silver.

The hardness and various conditions are no worse than that of cement.

The most important thing is that it is much more convenient to use than cement! ”
