***
The New Year is coming, and for adults, it means losing money.
Being an emperor is no exception. The civil and military ministers have worked hard for a year, and you have to express your condolences when the New Year is coming. Just like the year-end bonuses given to later generations, Qin Mu felt overwhelmed by the rewards. The money was really useless.
His Majesty the Emperor of Qin, whose vitality was severely weakened, took Concubine Xiang in front of the Qianqing Palace and sighed leisurely: "Qiao'er, you can go back tomorrow to visit your relatives."
The pretty and radiant Yun Qiao'er covered her furry mink clothes and smiled: "If you want to visit me, you can't go back tomorrow. Your Majesty, why do you suddenly think of asking me to go back to visit you?"
"Hurry up and go home and ask your father if there is no treasure yet. Ask him to get me tens of millions more taels."
"whee... ... ... "
"why are you laughing?"
"Aunt Li is quite rich now. She sells cakes very well. How about your majesty go and borrow some from Aunt Li."
"What a great idea. How did you come up with such a great idea, Qiao'er?"
"whee... ... ."
"Niu Wanshan, what are you doing?" Qin Mu pointed at Niu Wanshan and asked, not wanting to joke with Qiaoer anymore.
Niu Wanshan was carrying a big hammer. He was as strong as a cow, with a standard body that could block bullets. When he was carrying a big hammer, his aura was really extraordinary.
"Your Majesty, didn't you ask me to find a hammer to smash this cement block?"
"Are you smashing cement blocks? You are trying to make a big difference."
Li Shi and others laughed after hearing this. Niu Wanshan said awkwardly: "Your Majesty, this... I will go and get a small hammer."
"Forget it, forget it, don't change it, just bring it and let me do it myself."
"Your Majesty. How can this be done? Let me do this for you."
"Why do you think I'm made of clay?" Qin Mu grabbed the big hammer. It was really not light, heavier than the 24-pound hammer of later generations.
He raised it high... and knocked it down lightly, bam! A corner of the cement block placed on the ground immediately cracked. Qin Mu pressed harder, and another piece cracked. Next, lift it up hard and slam it down with a loud sound. The concrete block suddenly broke into eight pieces.
Qin Mu was a little disappointed. This concrete block had been mixed with a lot of cement, but the hardness was obviously not ideal.
Although in Li Shi's view, this was many times harder than lime mortar, Qin Mu felt that the strength was still far behind those of later concrete test blocks.
These days, there are no heavy-duty vehicles. They are just fine for paving roads, but if they are used to build high-rise buildings, the quality is obviously not up to standard.
Just to pave the way. It's probably not very durable, and it seems that we need to continue researching it.
If you want to be rich, build roads first. In later generations, there are only two kinds of things used to build roads. Concrete and asphalt. Qin Mu threw away the big hammer, and the maids immediately brought water. He washed his hands and thought about it.
Most people think that asphalt is an industrial residue. It's the residue after oil refining, that's right. However, not all asphalt requires refining petroleum to obtain it, as far as Qin Mu knows. There is natural asphalt.
It seems that there are huge asphalt deposits in China's Sichuan and Xinjiang, but Qin Mu had not paid attention to this before and did not know the specific location.
"Old Han."
"I wonder what your Majesty's orders are?"
"You send people to Sichuan to look for it and see if they can find a kind of black ore. Hiss... How should I put it? It is black and the surface should be smooth. It will melt under high temperature. It is very sticky and will condense when it cools down. Please go to Sichuan and ask more to see if there are any such black mines.”
"Well, I will send someone to Sichuan to look for him right now."
No matter what, the role of cement cannot be replaced by asphalt. Qin Mu still ordered to continue researching the formula of cement. If a qualified product is produced, he will build a thirty-story high-rise building in Nanjing.
Well, there are no elevators these days. If you build a thirty-story building, how will you climb up there
Well, Niu Wanshan is so strong, let him pull the hanging basket on the roof.
The Emperor of Qin was daydreaming about Niu Wanshan pulling himself up to a three-mile-high building in a hanging basket, but Ma Liuliang actually sat on the sling.
Longzhou and Gaoping are at the junction. When you reach the end of Longzhou, you will see a mountain and a river separating the two places. On both sides of the river are jungles that can't be seen. Zhao Youchang, the chieftain of Longzhou, actually refused to allow the Ma and Liuli armies to enter the mirror and sent troops and horses to guard the east bank of the river.
Tang Yue also wanted to go over and negotiate with Zhao Youchang in person, but Ma Liuliang held him down on the west bank and led his troops across the river to negotiate with guns and cannons.
What kind of bullshit local emperor, in Jiandehou's opinion, he won't be able to change Yelang's arrogance unless you hit him.
Hou San was at ease in such an environment. With his dazzling movements, a rope was quickly pulled from the west bank of the river to the east bank.
Under the cover of the woods, the Qin army hung pieces of ancient vines on the ropes, and quickly slid across the river along the ropes. It is said that ordinary people on the Jinsha River crossed the river in this way.
Ma Liuliang, one of the three thousand "mountain masters", has specially trained in these, and when crossing the river, he is methodical and his movements are clean and neat.
Before the Longzhou chieftain soldiers who were strictly guarding the east bank of the ferry could react, two hundred Qin troops had already rushed behind them, like divine soldiers descending from the sky. That was all, but every Qin soldier's face was still stained with tree sap. Chirping, looking like a ghost;
Before the fight started, the natives were so frightened that they knelt on the ground and muttered something in Ma Liuliang dialect that they couldn't understand, but they could guess that they were talking about heavenly soldiers and generals.
"Hua La Gulu Di!" Ma Liuliang shouted to the natives kneeling on the ground.
Wu Xiaoliu next to him couldn't help but asked: "Master Hou, can you speak their words?"
"Won't."
"Then Hua La Gulu... What does that Di Lia mean?"
"Just tell them not to move and just lie down. Look, look, don't they understand?"
Indeed, under Ma Liuliang's blind shouting and gestures, the two hundred frightened natives obediently threw their weapons far away and lay down on the ground.
"Hua La Gulu Di!" Mahou Ye continued to shout, and after shouting he couldn't help but look up to the sky and laugh.
The soldiers of the Qin army rushed forward and handed over all the weapons of the natives. Wu Xiaoliu's eyes widened when he saw it. Is this the end
"Master Hou, if you didn't say what they said, then what were you saying?"
"Niaoyu, you are stupid. They won't understand anything you say anyway. What do you care about the bird talk? Just shout nonsense. Do you understand?"
"The Marquis is wise."
"Hahaha... ... .."
Ma Liuliang was so happy, even he himself did not expect that two hundred natives were so unfazed and honest. After seizing the ferry, three thousand Qin troops quickly crossed the river, and then rushed towards Longzhou City in a gust of wind.
One hundred and twenty elephants started running, and the momentum was like a hundred and twenty heavy tanks rumbling in. The Longzhou natives along the way were so frightened that they fled in all directions.
When the army reached the gates of Longzhou City, the city realized what was happening and hurriedly closed the city gates. Longzhou is a small city. The city wall is only one foot high and there is not even a moat. As soon as those elephants leaned towards the city, you could climb directly to the top of the city from the elephants' backs.
Before the chieftains of Longzhou in the city could react, the Qin army climbed onto the top of the city from the backs of elephants and swarmed in, killing each other so fast that it was overwhelming.
"Great Qin is mighty!"
"Heavenly soldiers and heavenly future!"
"The Marquis of Jiande is here!"
"Hua La Gulu... Uh, Mr. Hou, what do you want to say next?"
"Hua La Gulu Di!"
"Yes, yes, Hua La Gulu...that one is Di!"
The locals in the city were scared to death amidst the shouts of "Hua La Gulu". The Qin soldiers, all with their faces painted like ghosts, rushed to the state government office in a swarm. Under the organization of Zhao Youchang, the natives of the Yamen hurriedly gathered and resisted desperately.
"Boom the fuck!"
Ma Liuliang gave an order and threw out a series of thunderbolts, which caused the gate of the government office to collapse. The natives were also blown away. The natives knew that Zhao Youchang was quickly picked up by the Qin army and hid. , let me see where you are hiding
"Hua La Gulu Di!" Mr. Mahou became smoother and smoother as he spoke, almost forgetting how to speak Chinese.
Looking at the confused Zhao Youchang, Mr. Ma Hou finally came to his senses and said with a smile: "Zhao Youchang, you didn't expect that your grandfather and I would descend from the sky and invade your home so quickly."
"Yes, yes, I didn't expect it, I didn't expect it, grandpa, have mercy on me, grandpa, have mercy on me!"
"It's too late. I can't spare you. Unfortunately, you are my chicken now. I want to lend you this chicken to kill chickens for the monkeys. I want to see who the monkeys around here are. Still want to **..."
"Master Hou, what you said... I feel dizzy after hearing this... Master Hou, you should just say Hua La Guludi!" Wu Xiaoliu fainted immediately after saying this!
