Although asphalt gravel paving is very good, Ying Gao also wants to witness it with his own eyes. Even if he doesn't know much about asphalt gravel paving, he still knows more than Gongshu Qing and others.
Although it is not necessary to control the whole process, it is necessary to grasp the key points in the process so that Gongshu Qing and others can avoid detours.
Time is money, and this applies at all times.
Looking at the young man who seemed to have light in his eyes, Meng Tian was silent for a moment. He naturally knew that Ying Gao's status at the moment, as long as he deceived Gongshu Qing, he would only lose Ying Gao's prestige instead of gaining anything.
To Ying Gao, cheating the public and losing the minister has only disadvantages but no advantages.
When you reach Ying Gao's position, there is no need to tell lies. Now Ying Gao no longer needs to attract anyone's attention.
Thoughts flickered for a moment, Meng Tian turned towards Ying Gao and said, "Sir, how do you know these things?"
To this day, Meng Tian is curious about Ying Gao. This young man seems to know it from birth.
He knew in his heart that some questions had no answers at all, but there were answers in Ying Gao. In Meng Tian's eyes, Ying Gao was powerful and mysterious.
Glancing at Meng Tian, Ying Gao chuckled and said, "General, spying on other people's secrets is not a good habit!"
In Ying Gao's view, even if he explained it to Meng Tian, Meng Tian would not understand much. In this case, it is better not to explain, because explanation often brings up other problems.
Instead of waiting for the future to be unclear, it is better to cut it off from the beginning.
"Uh, hahaha..."
Smiling awkwardly, Meng Tian cupped his hands towards Ying Gao and said in a solemn tone: "Master, Meng Tian is rude."
For Meng Tian, exploring other people's secrets privately is something that shouldn't happen. The reason why he can't help himself is mainly because Ying Gaotai is too evil.
"General, we will go ahead with King Jia Ming first, and then we will talk about the rest. Once this matter is over, I can go south to the extreme south to show off the power of the Qin Dynasty!"
Ying Gao just warned Meng Tian in the process of joking, but he never paid attention to this matter.
From the beginning, his performance was too outstanding and different from ordinary people. It is the most normal thing for others to be vigilant. It would be weird if the world took it for granted.
"good!"
Seeing that Ying Gao was not pursued, Meng Tian was relieved. After all, Ying Gao was not an ordinary person. His power was of no use to Ying Gao. Once he was investigated, there would be no end.
What's more, the matter of going north to Jia Ming is closely related to him.
Although Ying Gao proposed the construction of Chidao, he was ultimately responsible for the implementation. If it could not be completed as scheduled, it would be his responsibility.
Ying Gao went north this time to help him. Naturally, it was impossible for Ying Gao to go north but he didn't want to.
.........
The four of them, escorted by the Iron Eagle warriors, headed towards Jia Ming. Both Gongshu Qing and Meng Tian were extremely concerned about the bitumen matter.
If this asphalt and gravel really have the great effect that Ying Gao said, the Bashu Road in Xianyang will be completed as soon as possible, and the same method can be used on all major roads in Daqin in the future.
Therefore, they are full of enthusiasm.
"drive........."
As the horse rode out, the dust on the official road was flying, forming a long dragon. At first glance, it looked extraordinary.
Three days later, Ying Gao and his party arrived at the Longmen Mountain area north of Jia Ming.
He remembered clearly that later generations would be called China's No. 1 black mine, with reserves up to about 10 million tons. As long as this mineral vein is found, let alone a small Xianyang Bashu Road, even the five major cities of the Great Qin Empire in the future
There is no need to talk about Tao anymore.
"Hush!"
He reined in the horse's reins, and the war horse's front hooves rose up due to the force. It lasted for a while before it landed heavily on the ground. Tie Ying rode forward, towards Ying Gao, and said.
"General Ying, three miles ahead is the boundary of what the locals call Longmen Mountain. Our people, Jingyesi's people have also detected it, and there is indeed the kind of 'asphalt' described by General Ying."
"Order the army to speed up, we will set up camp near Longmen Mountain!"
"promise."
Nodding in agreement, Tie Ying turned his horse and shouted at the army: "Soldiers, General Ying has ordered the army to speed up and set up camp on the boundary of Longmen Mountain!"
"drive........"
With an order, the army marched rampant, its speed suddenly increased, and in just an hour, they had already set up camp at the foot of Longmen Mountain.
Here, there are towering ancient trees and thousands of miles of vegetation.
"General Ying, there is only one village here, and on top of Longmen Mountain, there is an ancestral hall..."
After glancing at Tie Ying, Ying Gao waved his hand and said, "Contact Jing Yesi's people, and then go to the mining area they have excavated."
"promise."
With a nod of agreement, Tie Ying turned around and left. A moment later, a captain from Jingyesi came in a hurry, bowed solemnly to Ying Gao, and said.
"Subordinate, Niu Lang, the commander of thousands of soldiers under Jingyesi, has met General Ying!"
"Um!"
Nodding slightly, Ying Gao chuckled at Niu Lang and said, "Tie Ying said that Jing Yesi's people found asphalt veins here. I wonder if this is the case?"
"General Ying, it's true!"
Niu Lang raised his hand towards Ying Gao and said: "This place is in Caojiagou not far from Longmen Mountain. It has been mined. However, the people in Jingyesi are not professionals. They just confirmed the authenticity."
"The specific situation has not been determined..."
Hearing this, Ying Gao breathed a sigh of relief. It's good that he found it. Even if the reserve is not large, it is enough to satisfy the Xianyang Pole South Road. What's more, the Great Qin will naturally also practice Jiao.
In this way, even if there are not many asphalt reserves here, it will not have much impact on Daqin.
The most important one right now is the South Hamyang Road.
After thinking this, Ying Gao smiled at Niu Lang and said: "Take me over there, Gongshu Qing is the master craftsman of Shang Workshop, Ying Gao has a way to deal with them!"
"promise."
Following Niu Lang, Ying Gao also had a certain understanding of the terrain of Longmen Mountain. The roads here were OK, which was good news for Gongshu Qing and others.
The open terrain means that it is easy to transport after mining, which will save a lot of time.
.........
Half an hour later, Ying Gao and his party had arrived at the so-called Caojia Valley. Looking at the abandoned ground and the sticky asphalt in the deep pit, Ying Gao couldn't help but smile.
"Master Gongshu, this is asphalt, you can study it a bit!" Having said this, Ying Gao warned Gongshu Qing and others, "This thing is flammable. Once it is ignited, it is difficult to put it out. Let the soldiers be careful.
