Jiang Guangqi's work efficiency was still very high. In less than half a day, he found a place outside the city that fully met Ran Fang's requirements.
When he came to Ran Fang with the land deed, he thoughtfully asked someone to draw a picture, showing the specific conditions of the land and the main locations of the surrounding mountains and rivers.
"My lord, please take a look."
“Thinking that those sheep were in urgent need of finding a place to stay, I worked hard to get it done.”
"If you feel dissatisfied, my subordinates will continue to look for you."
Looking at the map on the table, Ran Fang couldn't help but sigh that Jiang Guangqi was still very careful in his work.
He took a closer look at the surrounding environment and found that it was indeed suitable for raising sheep.
"Yes, this place is backed by mountains and the terrain is high. It is very suitable for a breeding farm."
“I can also buy some goats in the future, and it would be perfect to raise them on this mountain.”
Ran Fang now plans not only to keep the sheep in the backyard, but also to buy some more sheep so that he can always supply the mutton to the restaurant.
Jiang Guangqi felt relieved after hearing Ran Fang's praise, and at the same time, he also made a note in his mind about buying the goat.
"Here."
"My subordinate is still in the village today and has found a farmer who is willing to raise sheep for us. The price has been negotiated."
"Yeah," Ran Fang nodded, very satisfied with Jiang Guangqi's handling of things so appropriately.
"Okay, it's up to you to do this."
"When the fence is ready, bring all the sheep over, otherwise people in the mansion will think we have returned."
"Here," Jiang Guangqi's face was a little excited. After all, he had been following Zhang Liang and there wasn't much he could do on his own.
Now that he has this opportunity, he must cherish it.
"It's just that this place is a bit far from our house. It rained a few days ago and the road is still a little muddy. I'm afraid it won't be easy to bring sheep there."
"Now that the stake has been erected, I'm afraid we have to wait until the soil on the road dries before we can pass the sheep."
Ran Fang took another look at the hand-drawn map. Although he couldn't see the distance, he could still vaguely see that the place was surrounded by mountains and grassland. There was really no road.
Since coming here, he has never been outside the city, but the roads in the city can indeed be traveled.
Now that many businesses have begun to set foot outside the city, the roads outside the city should also be built.
“If you want to be rich, build roads first.”
"Let's do this. Let others take care of the breeding farm. You can start preparing for the road construction first."
"Building a spacious road from the city to the breeding farm will make it easier to do things in the future."
"If this is repaired, roads can also be built between those factories and Xianyang City to make it easier for people to work."
Jiang Guangqi did not have the concept of building roads. After all, in his opinion, most roads would naturally form a road after people walked a lot.
It's a bit surprising that a road has to be built to get out.
"Sir... I have heard about this matter of road construction. How wide should it be built?"
"Does the soil for road construction have to be dug from the mountain?"
Since the road needs to be built, it must be done in one go. How can it be possible to use soil?
Ran Fang made some cement because he was going to Sishui County for disaster relief. Later, after he was released from Xianyang Prison, he had people make cement all the time, just waiting for it to be useful.
Now this is no, the opportunity has come.
"Instead of building dirt roads, we need to build cement brick roads."
Originally, Ran Fang wanted to talk about a cement road, but the cement road is a bit complicated to sit on. There are other things to be paved under the cement, and there are too many tools for flattening.
It would be better to just make a brick road, which would allow water to seep down, making it much more convenient to sit on.
"Concrete brick road?"
This touches on Jiang Guangqi's knowledge blind spot again.
He knew Brick, and Cement had heard about it because of Ran Fang.
This was indeed the first time he had heard of this cement brick road.
"This... subordinate has never seen it before and doesn't know what to do."
"Please punish me, sir."
As he spoke, he knelt on the ground, still lamenting his ignorance.
"Get up. It's natural that you haven't heard of this. Why should I punish you?"
"Thank you, sir."
When he stood up, Ran Fang explained: "This brick is not a rare thing, you have seen it before."
"But generally the bricks are put together with soil or themselves. This is okay, but it is easy to break when used outside."
"But if you use cement to connect the bricks to each other, it is equivalent to connecting them firmly together. Even if they are placed on the road, they will not fall apart unless there is something squeezing them next to them."
"Bricks made of cement are harder than ordinary bricks."
"You first go to the cement factory and ask workers to mix cement, sand and water in proportion, then pour them into brick molds and start making cement bricks."
"Find more craftsmen who can build walls and let them learn how to build roads. Find more. This must be done as soon as possible."
Because the cement plant was not profitable and Ran Fang had always done it himself, he had no intention of auctioning the cement plant at the time of the auction. His people were still managing it.
However, because he was not taken seriously by Ran Fang, this person from the cement factory was laughed at by others.
After what happened at the auction, the people in the cement factory straightened up their backs instantly. After all, they no longer belonged to the commander, but the cement factory still followed the commander and never left.
Therefore, when Jiang Guangqi came to pass on Ran Fang's instructions, Wu Lecheng, who was in charge of managing the cement plant, immediately smiled.
"Shiwei Jiang, go back and report to the Lord. We will handle this matter properly."
“I just don’t know when will these cement bricks be used?”
Jiang Guangqi didn't even think about it and said directly: "The sooner the better."
"When making bricks, we also need to find some people who can lay bricks. They will also do the road construction."
Wu Lecheng nodded immediately and said there was no problem, "It is our honor to work for the commander."
"For such a long time, the commander has paid us monthly wages. We don't know what to say when we can do things for the commander."
"Leave this matter to me!"
Jiang Guangqi was also a human spirit. He knew that although Wu Lecheng said so, he wanted to ask these people who built the roads, did they also get money?
After all, the road construction in Daqin was calculated as corvee in the past. Not only was there no money to be paid, but if the work could not be completed on time, there was even a risk of losing one's life.
If this is the case, I'm afraid it will be difficult to find this witch successfully.
"Don't worry, how you get paid is the same for them."
"As long as you do your best, adults won't be so pressed for time."
"Besides, news will soon spread in this city. I am afraid that corvee service will be abolished in the future. Your good days are coming. Don't think so much."
After saying that, perhaps because he felt that he had said too much, Jiang Guangqi quickly told him: "Don't make this matter public. I only heard about it."
"If anyone hears about this, I'm afraid their lives will be in danger!"
