Chapter 20 The Brick Road takes shape

"The grass-roots Xu Duo meets His Highness Dai." A young man of seventeen or eighteen came forward and went to the ground for a big week.

Xu Duo's eyebrows and eyes are pretty and thin. At first glance, he thought he was a scholar.

Since Emperor Wen of Sui, Yang Jian, practiced the imperial examination, the title of scholar has gradually become popular, and it sounds nice and respected.

"You are the oldest young master who burns bricks and is still asleep in the middle of the night?" Yang Ji'er blinked her beautiful Danfeng eyes, but her mouth was very poisonous, and she directly talked about Xu Duo's pain point.

"If you go back to the princess, it's the little people." Xu Duo said a little.

Because of the incident of falling asleep in the middle of the night, Xu Duo had been beaten up by his father, and it was already embarrassing to spread in the village.

Unexpectedly, even His Highness Dai Wang and Princess Izumo knew about it. He was sure that they would all come tomorrow. Now he was embarrassed to throw himself into Daxing City.

"How many of these bricks do you have?" Yang You ignored Xu Duo's shamefulness and asked directly.

"Xiaomin burned three kiln bricks in total, and only pulled one cart. The cart broke before he arrived in Daxing. All the three kiln bricks are here, with at least ten thousand bricks." Xu Duo replied, and he talked endlessly about burning bricks.

"You are so stupid and bold! You dared to open three kilns at once when you first burn a kiln." Yang You couldn't help but make a laugh, not expecting that Xu Duo was really bold.

"It makes His Highness Dai laugh." Xu Duo lowered his head and said. He still doesn't know why His Highness Dai asked him to come. Could it be that he just saw his own joke? His Highness Dai should not have that leisure!

At this time, the onlookers separated, and Daxing County Magistrate Su Sheng trotted over.

"Su Sheng, a humble official, meets His Highness, the King of Dai."

Su Sheng received news from the yamen runners that His Highness Dai Wang had left the city to patrol, so he hurried over.

"Mr. Su was coming just in time and immediately sent someone to pull all the red bricks of the Xu family over." Yang You ordered when he saw Su Sheng coming.

"Yes, Your Highness, King Dai."

Su Sheng immediately responded, turned around and ordered a yamen runner to follow Xu Duo to pull bricks.

"I wonder what Your Highness Dai King is for?" County Magistrate Su remembered to ask.

"Build the road." Yang You said with a smile.

"But we have repaired these roads!" Su Sheng became more and more confused.

Due to the extremely sufficient labor force this year, the official road built this time is also of the highest specification, and the entire road surface has been pressed with stones many times. It can be said that even Qin Shihuang built the Chi Road.

"What we want to build is a brick road." Yang Jier said proudly, "just like under my feet, like the road inside the city."

"Brick road!" Su Sheng was stunned.

He looked down at the bricks paved under Yang Jier's feet, and looked at the end of the road that extended to the distance.

"How many bricks do you need!" Su Sheng murmured to himself.

"Don't worry, we all use waste bricks! It's this kind of red brick." Yang Ji'er walked around proudly on her small territory.

"How many waste bricks are there!" Su Sheng lamented,

In his opinion, these two little ancestors were so whimsical. In a brick kiln, the scrap bricks pulled out every day are only a few, what is the use of?

In this era, blue bricks were still very expensive. Ordinary families still used adobe bricks to build houses, so they were reluctant to use bricks at all.

These two people are so good that they are fantastic about paving the way with bricks that ordinary people are reluctant to use.

Su Sheng could foresee that after today, His Highness Dai's reputation was completely destroyed, and the title of King Ren that he had finally accumulated would soon be drowned in the scolding of the people.

The Xu family was unwilling to leave here, so Su Sheng sent a lot of young and strong laborers. After a while, several trucks of red bricks had already been pulled over.

More people flocked to the brick truck and quickly unloaded the bricks. A steady stream of red bricks came over.

Under Yang You's command, a brick was erected, and in an instant another brick was next to it. The bricks gathered together, and soon formed a five-meter-wide brick surface and spread out rapidly.

The power of a single brick is very meager. Even when people perform themselves, they will cut bricks to show their strength.

Thousands of bricks are tightly clamped together, and the power formed is endless. In the Sui Dynasty, where there is no overload, the lifespan of these brick roads can be said to be long and long.

In just a quarter of an hour, a brick road of 100 meters has been taken.

Holding down his excitement, Yang You gently stepped on the epoch-making brick road he created.

Feeling the hard road under my feet, a familiar feeling arises naturally, as if I returned to the first time I built a brick road in my hometown. I was so happy at that time.

As he thought about it, a feeling of happiness appeared on his face. For Yang You, this was not just a brick road, but a longing for his hometown, and a mark of his reminiscence of life in later generations.

"this……."

Su Sheng looked at the dense bricks under his feet, and his heart was bleeding. After seeing the pain of the refugees, Su Sheng wanted to exchange anything valuable for the refugees' food.

But when he saw the happy expression on Yang You's face, he couldn't say anything he advised.

In his opinion, it is good for a thirteen-year-old boy to do this, so why should I force him? Besides, this is made of use of waste bricks.

"Your Highness the King of Dai, the scrap bricks have been used up." Xu Duo stepped forward with guilt.

“It’s already used up?”

Yang You looked at the brick road less than a mile in front of him and fell into deep thought.

"If there was only this brick road less than 500 meters, it would be of no value at all. I guess tomorrow, I would be advised by the minister, saying that I was ignorant and ignorant." Yang You said in his heart.

Whether the road construction is good or not is not a controversial question. If you want to get rich, build roads first. Such a slogan of bad streets has long been deeply rooted in Yang You's bones.

Since it's good, why don't you persist?

"Yang You, these brick roads are really great. If there are such roads in the whole country, we can go wherever we want and don't have to make our feet dirty." Yang Jier said with a giggle.

"Okay, let's practice more." Yang You made up his mind in an instant. Since he had done it, he would be a big one and shock the whole country.

"Xu Duo."

"The grass is here"

"Immediately pull all the blue bricks in your house and continue paving the way." Yang You ordered.

"yes."

Xu Duo responded and immediately went back to continue pulling bricks.

"Dong Yue"

"I am in a humble position."

"Send someone to buy all the bricks in Daxing City immediately and transport them here." Yang You gave Dong Yue another order.

Dong Yue responded and ordered a few guards to ride horses to Daxing.

He continued to stay by Yang You's side to guard Yang You's safety. Now there are many refugees, and the chances of trouble have increased greatly, so he will be more careful.
