Sun Quan actually knew in his heart that if he wanted to strengthen the control of Jiaozhou, the best way was to build roads, but in the current society, there was no gunpowder or cement, so it was difficult to repair. When he used to take a train, there were many tunnels, and the difficulty of building roads was probably very high, but it should be possible to go around, at least it was better than Yizhou.

So Sun Quan began to carefully recall his memory and finally found some memories of cement. I remember not knowing whether it was a history class or a physics class. The teacher said that the earliest cement was made of limestone and clay, but I didn't know the proportion. To put it bluntly, it was burned by stones and mud. So he found some craftsmen who could burn it and then arranged them to study the cement. He still remembered the formula of earth gunpowder, so he asked Zhang Jin to do it. Zhang Jin now made a Taoist temple for his elderly care so that he would not waste anything. Sun Quan himself did not dare to do it anyway, which was very dangerous.

Sun Quan asked someone to watch Zhang Jin get gunpowder. Anyway, the ratio was only a few, so it was still easy. After the experiment was successful, he would write down the ratio, and then Zhang Jin could only make gunpowder for Sun Quan forever.

Sun Quan himself took Pang Tong to the suburbs every day, guarding the kiln for burning cement. After all, these craftsmen didn't know what cement was. Fortunately, when they were on the third day, a craftsman finally got the right proportion and got what Sun Quan needed. Sun Quan made some water and sand together, and it didn't take long to become a solid piece of cement. Then he rewarded the craftsman and asked them to continue to study and improve. Then he asked how much charcoal or firewood was needed to burn this. After all, the technology of digging underground coal mines was not enough at this time, and Sun Quan could not find it.

However, Sun Quan soon stopped caring about this issue. He did not dig the coal and did not dig it out. He just produced less cement by himself. Then he asked Zhuge Jin to mobilize some people to help craftsmen produce cement and build a large cement workshop. Then he asked the army to help build roads during the rest period, and spent money on the remaining sections of the road to repair the people, so he arranged the road construction matter.

Sun Quan felt that he was not sorry for Zhuge Jin. He asked him to do everything, and he seemed to have been tired and lost a lot of weight. However, Zhuge Jin is very hardworking to him now, and he has to reduce the burden on him. Fortunately, Liu Ba is now, which is a little easier. So Sun Quan gave Zhuge Jin a dozen people led by Xu Jing, and Xu Jing asked him to be the county magistrate of Zhuya and Dan'er at that time.

Half a month later, a section of a cement road from Guangzhou County was repaired. It started from the county magistrate's office (formerly the governor's office) of the county town to about ten miles outside the city. Thousands of soldiers built the road very fast, but the cement output could not keep up and production was still slowly accelerating. After all, too many people would affect the production of grain.

Sun Quan led Pang Tong, Lu Meng, Lu Xun, Zhuge Jin, and Xu Jing to take office in Yulin County. He walked on this concrete road. Everyone felt that this road was indeed much better than the previous road, but the foundation of this road is not strong, and the road surface is not steel bars, but it is smooth and easy to walk, without the mud and pits, but the solidity is limited. However, when seeing this road, Sun Quan at least felt that it would not be worse than the straight roads in the Qin and Han Dynasties.

Liu Ba took the people away, and everyone walked back on the concrete road, but they didn't ride horses. It felt like this road was like a stone road, and several people felt a little addicted to walking.

"Lord, when the old minister went south from the north, there was an eunuch named Xiaowu following him. He met when he was an official in Luoyang. Later, after Dong Zhuo burned Luoyang, Xiaowu escaped. By chance, I met Xiaowu who was begging. Seeing that he was so miserable, I kept taking him with me. When the lord came to find us, Xiaowu was not in the team because he went to find food for us, so I wanted to ask the lord to find him back for me and give him a bite of food." Xu Jing suddenly stood up and asked Sun Quan.

"This is a small matter." Sun Quan smiled, then called Chen Nian over and ordered: "A Nian, you ask the guards to look for this man named Xiao Wu everywhere. Since Wen Xiu went south, he will naturally come to Wen Xiu, and he should be nearby."
