In ancient times, road construction was extremely slow. However, with the advent of steam engines, steam engines were used to transport materials such as stones, clay, and even meals on the construction sites every day. This greatly saved manpower and material resources, and all it cost was some coal. In coal mines,

The most indispensable thing is coal. With small-scale mining like theirs, which is inferior to small workshops, it is really enough to mine for decades.

The total length of this road is 8,876 meters, more than ten miles, and the width is only 2.8 meters. This is really incomparable with the Qin Dynasty straight road, which is more than 700 kilometers long and 30 meters wide.

At that time, the Qin Dynasty could easily get 10,000 people to build roads. This old man was incomparable. They adopted a short-term labor system. No matter who you are, you can sign up if you are a man of fifteen or above and a man of forty-five or below.

Road construction costs 20 cents for big workers and 10 cents for small workers. Food and accommodation are provided at the construction site. Two meals a day are not allowed, and wages are calculated in a ten-day cycle.

In the later period, there were probably about a thousand people, and the road was completed in more than three months. This speed was blinding at the time.

However, this road was paid for by Lao Jiu himself from beginning to end, and no one else had a problem with it. After a cost accounting, Jiu Age found that this road cost a total of nine thousand taels, and there was no compulsion on the people at all.

It has provided thousands of employment opportunities to the people and attracted praises from people.

Lao Jiu felt really sad when he thought about the tens of thousands and hundreds of thousands of taels of silver that Huang Ama often spent on building roads and other things.

You must know that those people, even if they call people here, there is absolutely no one who is so willing to give money for food and drink.

No one else was allowed to use this road, and its name eventually became King Dunjun Road.

Originally, Lao Shi was not planning to fight for the naming rights with Brother Ninth, but after thinking about it, Brother Jiu was too cowardly. It would be better to wait until the credit comes in and invite a county king.

After all, he didn't intend to stop building this road once it was built.

Lao Jiu felt inexplicably that since he followed Lao Ten, he felt that the king of the county was no longer a dream, and that the prince dared to compete. He was not a fool. What did he get after spending so much money with Lao Ba, but Lao Ten was more real.

Lao Shi also thought it was a good thing that Brother Ninth had pursuits and ideals, so he agreed. Anyway, he felt that he and Brother Ninth were brothers and there was no need to argue too much.

After a road was built, the transportation of coal became more convenient, and Lao Jiu Lao Shi devoted his energy to designing the industrial park.

The first is the textile industry.

Nowadays, it is normal for people not to wear warm clothes. A winter coat costs several hundred dollars, which is sometimes enough for a middle-aged person to live for a year. Therefore, some people only buy two winter coats each when they get married and die. The rest are

Another year of mending.

With mechanization, the speed of weaving could not be compared at the same time, and Lao Shi would not compete with traditional weaving for the time being, but produced the first towel machine driven by a steam engine.

Towels are fabrics with a terry structure made up of three system yarns intertwined with each other. At this time, people mostly used long towels sewn from thick cotton cloth to wash their faces. However, towels have been introduced to our country from Japan, and our country has independently developed them.

Some varieties are "full color velvet", "sea goose velvet" and "Zhang velvet".

But these things all have one characteristic, that is, they are expensive, extremely expensive, costing only one tael of silver each.
