After the imperial examination, the circle of Chinese scholars in Guangzhou was a little confused, and the robe and meaning were cut off frequently.

The reason why the robe and meaning of cutting off the robe is very simple. Some literati and scholars criticized the People's Army in the same circle, and turned around and signed up to participate in the People's Army's imperial examinations. Now they are directly exposed.

If the Tao is different and does not plan for each other, it is normal to cut off the robe and make the meaning of the robe.

The imperial examination is the main topic of discussion among Chinese scholars in Guangzhou City. Soon, a matter about "road" became a new topic.

Recently, on the north side of Guangzhou City, the People's Military Government closed a section of the road and did not allow others to pass, saying that it was necessary to build a road.

It is normal to build roads, but the People's Army's road construction made many people wonder.

Under normal circumstances, there are only a few ways to build a road:

The simplest thing is to have a dirt road, and then flatten the dirt road. As people step on it, the road will become bumpy, and puddles will appear on rainy days. If you step on it, your shoes and clothes will be dirty by mud. Most roads in the city, ordinary roads outside the city and some official roads are like this.

The second type of road is to lay a layer of small stones on the first type of contact. Such a gravel road can withstand some rain, but if there is too much rain, the road will be buried, and the gravel road will be useless. Some official roads are such gravel roads, and some families with less wealth will pave gravel roads;

The third type is brick and stone roads, either burned bricks or mined stones after a certain treatment. Paving bricks and stones on the ground becomes brick and stone roads. There is no need to worry about mud and water when walking on brick and stone roads. The roads in the mansions of wealthy families, some city gate areas, imperial cities and other places are brick and stone roads.

Obviously, dirt roads are the easiest to build, and brick roads are the most labor-intensive and material resources. The newly built roads of the People's Army are very different from dirt roads, gravel roads, and brick roads. The roads built by the People's Army are called cement roads.

Cement plants outside Guangzhou City have begun to produce cement on a large scale. Currently, there are three main uses of cement: one is to build hydraulic facilities, one is to build houses, and the other is to build roads.

A cement factory has been established in Guangzhou City. Fang Nan has ordered the construction of cement factories in various cities. The technicians of the Ministry of Industry have taken action. Cement factories are more suitable for providing cement nearby. It is more troublesome to transport cement from a long distance. After all, whether it is to build roads or build water conservancy facilities, a large amount of cement is required.

The original official roads in Guangdong were dirt roads and gravel roads. Just as the cement factory had already produced cement on a large scale, Fang Nan ordered the dispatch of manpower and material resources to start the construction of cement roads to replace dirt roads and gravel roads.

Cement roads are not just about cement. They need to mix cement, sand and small stones before they can be used for paving.

In fact, you can also not add small pebbles, but the cement road built with only cement and sand may be a little smooth. If some water is on the cement road, it is easy to fall. Adding small pebbles increases the friction of the cement road, and it also reduces the cost of road construction and stabilizes the road.

In addition, when building cement roads, they will be low on both sides and slightly higher in the middle. In this way, rainwater will flow to both sides on rainy days and will not leave water on the road surface.

Because of the uniqueness of cement roads, some people are concerned about it. They do not know what the cement roads built by the People's Army are different from other roads. They will have to wait until the first cement road is completed before they can know it.

Compared with the official road, although Guangzhou City is a big city, most of the roads in the city are dirt roads. Logically speaking, cement roads should be built in Guangzhou City first. However, Fang Nan thought about it carefully and gave up, because Fang Nan thought of the future Guangzhou City.

As the current location of the People's Army's central government, the People's Army will definitely focus on developing the Guangzhou City. With the emergence of cement, there will even be more than four-story high-rise buildings in Guangzhou City in the future, and finally Guangzhou City becomes a modern and modern city.

Many places in Guangzhou City are now very unreasonable in planning. Some roads are relatively spacious, some roads are relatively narrow, and the most important ones are facilities such as sewage channels. It will be more troublesome in the reconstruction of cities from old times to modern times.

Compared to renovating the current Guangzhou City, Fang Nan wants to build a new Guangzhou City next to Guangzhou City. The old Guangzhou City will become part of the new Guangzhou City. In the future, decide whether to renovate the old Guangzhou City, and maybe stay and treat it as a scenic spot.

Under such circumstances, Fang Nan temporarily suspended the construction of cement roads in Guangzhou City.

The new Guangzhou City is already in the design, and Fang Nan personally participated in it, and even the design drawings include many facilities that the Ministry of Works Designers cannot understand.

Fang Nan just smiled and said, "You will know in the future."

The proportion of the new Guangzhou City (not counting as the old city) is twice the size of the current Guangzhou City, and there is still a future expansion direction.

Even if the new city is as large as the old city, with more high-rise buildings emerging, the new city can accommodate much more people than the old city. However, many factories will be built in the new city, and factories will use up many places in the new city.

Guangzhou City is not suitable as an industrial city, and Foshan is more suitable as an industrial city. However, in the era when industry was just beginning, factories could only be established in densely populated cities.

There are also a large number of illiterate groups in Guangzhou City, who are illiterate and can only do some hard work. When work in factories becomes the best choice, the situation will only change when basic education is popularized. At that time, the factory will move from Guangzhou City, either to the suburbs, or to other industrial cities.

Western countries started the industrial revolution in modern times, and the wealth of the country was increasing, capitalists were increasing, but workers were increasing very little, and because factories sucked clouds and mist, the urban environment deteriorated rapidly.

Workers work in factories, and their safety is not guaranteed, and they are very likely to be injured by machinery and become disabled.

"Learning from history", Fang Nan never thought that the people's army would become a modern Western country like the people's army. For money, those capitalists squeezed the workers too seriously.

A strong government is the most important thing. What is more important is that the current development under the rule of the People's Army is led by the People's Army and rules are formulated. The People's Army is willing to take some merchants to play with them. These merchants must obey the orders of the People's Army and punish all those who dare to violate the rules set by the People's Army.

Developing industry is important, but people's lives are also important, and the environment is equally important. Fangnan will lead the people's military government to work hard to find a balance point.

It should be noted that the development of industry does not necessarily mean that the steam engine appears to develop industries, steel plants, cement plants, glass plants, shipyards and other factories, which are all part of industrial development.
