Chapter 585

"Showing ugly!" After the song, Chen Xu quickly jumped back to his chair and sat down, and the eyes of the people in the room fell on Chen Xu.

"Papapapapapapapapapapa~" Yu Wuya walked in with a clapping applause, stood around the center of the living room and bowed slightly, then pulled out the sharp sword with a choke.

A scream of horror from the palace maids suddenly rang in the room, and the situation was a little panicked.

Chen Xu looked at Yu Wuya with a dark face.

"Forgive me for forgiveness, I just couldn't help but want to sing and dance to cheer everyone up!" Yu Wuya quickly apologized and comforted the two little princesses.

"Brother Yu, do you have to draw your sword when singing?" Chen Xu said with a twitching face.

"Hehe, Wuya is used to it. Don't worry, benefactor, you won't hurt anyone!" After Yu Wuya said that, his face slowly became solemn, and his aura suddenly became sharp. After a moment, his wrist trembled and his body also spread out. The long sword started singing as he danced with his body.

"The sword light and sword shadow are not my sect. The sky is wide and the sea is my own style. When you push your hands, you are neither black nor white. It is neither good nor bad. If you don't win, how can you lose..."

Yu Wuya's performance is unique. The long sword dances like a dragon. The flipped and moved the sword light whistled like the cold wind, sometimes fast and sometimes slow, as if the virgin is moving like a rabbit. The singing is also unique, completely different from the gentle and gentle style performed by Chen Xu and others just now. It is full of a sense of indifferent but natural and heroic momentum, which has sublimated a lot of this originally feminine family singing and dancing banquet.

"Okay! Mr. Yu performed so well!" After Yu Wuya's performance, countless maids and guards applauded enthusiastically, and it was obvious that Yu Wuya's popularity in the mansion was very high.

He is handsome, has a strong martial arts skills, and can sing and dance swords. He is simply a handsome variety. Some little maids and servants feel that they are almost breathless when they see Yu Wuya's chic look. The cheeks are red and the spring water is rippling in their eyes.

However, Yu Wuya is known as a straight man. He ignored these flirtatious seductions. He inserted the sword into the scabbard with a choke, bowed to the surroundings with pride, then walked to Chen Xu and sat down on a chair and said with a smile: "My benefactor, I'm doing a good job, right?"

"Well, it's not bad. I was beaten twice by Xia Zijin. It seems that my martial arts are much more refined!" Chen Xu praised without hesitation.

Yu Wuya:...

"Next, I will also sing a song from Qingrou for everyone!" Shui Qingrou also stood up at this time, holding a bamboo flute in her hand and walked to the center of the living room.

In this era when they don’t hide their own personality, both men and women use the most simple and direct way to express their preferences, and it is not popular to hide their weaknesses.

This era emphasizes the immediate view of the end of the situation, and emphasizes very proactive and offensive self-expression such as self-recommendation, rather than the moderation and conservative approach advocated by later Confucianism.

Although Yu Wuya and Shui Qingrou, who are disciples of Liezi, live indifferent and peaceful life on weekdays, it does not mean that they will not express their joys, angers, sorrows, and happiness. On the contrary, their ideas are simpler, and loves, hates, and joys are expressed very clearly.

"When will the bright moon come? I asked the blue sky with wine. I don't know what palace in the sky is, and what year is it tonight..."

This song that only appeared once in the Qinghe Theater in Wancheng. Because Shui Qingrou likes it very much, Chen Xu stopped performing it. This song that really has fairy spirit became a masterpiece. At this time, Shui Qingrou held a bamboo flute and sang and danced. Her black dress swayed with her delicate body, and she was really like a fairy who was about to fly on the wind. She only saw it intoxicatingly, and even Chen Xu couldn't bear to take her eyes away.

Just as Chen Xu and a large group of beautiful ladies were singing and dancing in Qinghe Villa and enjoying the comfort of life.

Under the scorching sun, outside the south gate of Xianyang City, a group of craftsmen with the Academy of Sciences hanging on their chests were directing many craftsmen holding measuring ropes and observation benchmarks to plan a cement road from the city gate to the Weihe Wharf.

After two days of measurement, the road was basically planned. The width of the roadbed was drawn with lime along the measuring rope. Some soldiers had already taken some prisoners to clean and level the roadbed. In addition, some labor slaves and prisoners carried wooden boards, wheelbarrows, and bamboo baskets to transport river sand and stones back and forth.

Although it was the hottest time of the day, the action of the Academy of Sciences still attracted many people entering and leaving the city. After many cargo merchants inquired, they also knew that the Academy of Sciences was preparing to build a new road between the city gate and the horse head. Therefore, many people were also curious. There was a road at present, so why did they need to rebuild it? However, after asking, the construction workers did not disclose the reason at all, which aroused more people's curiosity and speculation, gathered around to watch the construction of this new road.

The planning of this new road was completed in just two days. Because it was only two miles long, one hundred prisoners and one hundred labor slaves were recruited. It is estimated that the roadbed would be leveled in half a day, and the concrete laying would be completed in a full day.

As the head of the Academy of Sciences, Zhao Qing was arranged in an overall manner in almost all the matters of the Academy of Sciences, and he had been dealing with them in an orderly manner. He naturally knew that cement and concrete had begun to be burned, but the Marquis asked him to keep it confidential for the time being, so he did not inform the emperor. However, the incident today was quite disturbing and could not be kept secret because he was standing in the Zichen Hall of the Palace.

"Zhao Qing, I heard from the Academy of Sciences that the Ministry of Works requested the Ministry of Works to recruit prisoners and labor slaves to build a road from the south gate of the city to the wharf. Why? Is it because of the major arrangements of the Academy of Sciences?"

Qin Shihuang sat behind the desk, not paying much attention to Zhao Qing who was summoned, and continued to look at the memorial in his hand and asked lightly.

"Yes, Your Majesty! The cement that turned into stone in the factory outside the city has been successfully developed. Qinghehou plans to build a three-meter-wide concrete bridge across the river on the Wei River..."

"What? The immortal art of turning mud into stones by Hou Qinghe was successfully developed? When did it happen?" Qin Shihuang stood up suddenly.

"It has been more than a month since the development was successfully developed, but because it was necessary to verify the efficacy of cement, the Marquis told him not to notify His Majesty first, so as not to disappoint His Majesty if the failure of the experiment failed. Therefore, I did not report it. However, after a period of verification, the efficacy of cement was relatively perfect. Yesterday, the Marquis commissioned Zhang Cang to raise people at the Academy of Sciences to build a bridge on the Wei River to replace the current wooden bridge. The new road outside the south of the city also continued to verify the expansion characteristics of cement in summer, thinking that the bridge was built and collected data..."

"Come here, prepare for the car. I'm going to see the newly built road!"

Before Zhao Qing could finish his words, Qin Shihuang threw the memorial in his hand and gave a loud command.

So the Weiwei Imperial Guard and the Shaofu people moved when they heard the news. After the car was ready, the order was heard from the palace. The Weiwei Imperial Guard quickly dispatched to close the martial law to the streets leading to the south of the city.

Half an hour later, under the escort of hundreds of Xuanwu Guards and three thousand imperial guards, the emperor drove out of the palace and flags flickered and out of the city.

The emperor's actions not only made the people of Xianyang feel puzzled, but even the civil and military ministers and princes and princes who received the news could not understand. They did not know why the emperor suddenly left the city on such a hot noon. Therefore, Li Sifeng went to Ji Mengyi and other officials from the three provinces and six ministries quickly prepared to leave the city.

The south gate of the city has been taken over by the imperial guards, and the road leading to the outside of the city has also been defended by the black armored imperial guards holding long crossbows and long spears. The black Qinlong flag is swept with the hot river wind, and the air temperature seems to suddenly drop several degrees under the sharp momentum.

The emperor's carriage suddenly arrived, and there was a panic near the south of the city. The labor slaves and prisoners were kneeling down on the ground. All the people and merchants who entered and left the city gate retreated thirty feet away and did not dare to leave.

Zhang Cang led a group of craftsmen on the construction site to visit the emperor by palace officials.

"My dear Zhang Cang to see Your Majesty!"

"I'm here to pay homage to Your Majesty!"

"No gift!"

Qin Shihuang, wearing a black dragon robe and a crown, sat upright on the emperor's carriage, but the small carport could not cover up the strong sunlight, and half of his body fell under the strong sunlight.

"I heard that the immortal art of turning mud into stone by the Hou of Qinghe has been successfully developed. Do you want to use this kind of thing to build a new road?"

"Yes, Your Majesty, this thing is called cement. After several months of development, it has been successful. Therefore, the Marquis instructed us to build a road here to verify and collect more data, and then prepare to build a river-crossing bridge as strong as rocks on the Wei River." Zhang Cang replied.

"Okay, I came here just to see how this cement turned into mud and stone, and quickly put it on!" Qin Shihuang stood up excitedly and ordered.

Zhang Cang turned around and asked several craftsmen. After getting the answer, he bowed and said, "Your Majesty, the roadbed from the city gate to the river bank has been partially leveled, and concrete can be started. Your Majesty wants to see me, so I will arrange to start paving the road. I also asked Your Majesty to ask the imperial guards to allow the worker slaves to transport sand, gravel, cement and other things over. I will start from the road in front of me."

"Passing it on, let the craftsmen and labor slaves of the Academy of Sciences!" Qin Shihuang waved his sleeves, and suddenly several imperial guards passed on loudly, and soon the strict defense of the imperial guards spread out.

Zhang Cang also quickly directed a group of craftsmen from the Academy of Sciences to arrange for craftsmen to bring work slaves to transport cement river sand and stone boards, etc., and some craftsmen directed the helpers to use wooden boards to set up molds on the already leveled roadbed. Another craftsmen began to direct the craftsmen to weigh sand and pebbles in bamboo baskets, and then weighed the cement from the sack woven linen woven with wooden buckets and poured it on the sand and gravel. Then the craftsmen used a shovel to stir the sand and gravel together, and dug a large hole in the middle. A craftsman poured several buckets of water according to the proportion and then ordered to start stirring.

A group of worker slaves holding rakes and shovels immediately began to accumulate sand, gravel and cement into the middle of the puddle, and the shovels were raised and raked, and soon a pile of concrete was mixed.

"Start the road construction, with a thickness of one foot, level with the wooden mold top, two meters apart, leaving five minutes of gap, the supervisor prepares a leveling ruler to monitor at any time..."

With Zhang Cang's loud shout, everyone suddenly became nervous and busy. Under the command of the craftsman, baskets of made concrete were loaded into vine baskets and carried by the worker slaves to the roadbed, poured out according to the position designated by the craftsman. Then the helper used a rake to rake the concrete evenly on the roadbed to be just flush with the top of the wooden mold, filling the insufficient places and digging the high places. At the same time, he had to use a wooden pestle to be next to the dense pestle, and then the craftsman used an iron mud knife to smooth the surface.
