The husband is the future chief [infrastructure]

Because the cement road of the official road built in the first phase of the project is already in trial operation, several officials from the Ministry of Industry came to observe the construction process of the cement road, and rushed from Beijing to Lin'an.Lin Zhao personally received them.

There is no way, the emperor now appreciates this concrete road, and ordered the people in the Ministry of Industry to study hard so that they can build roads near the capital.

How could these officials dare to slack off, and the emperor almost pointed out their names and said that they had done nothing. After arriving at the workshop where the cement road was located after Lin'an, they only had a simple meal, and went straight to the road where the cement was being built. road place.

They haven't walked on the newly built concrete road, and this is the first time they have seen such a flat concrete road.

This square road has just been repaired, and the cement is faintly white and extremely hard.A few officials went up and stepped on it out of curiosity, and it was really smooth and firm.

"Master Lin, this road is really stable. It's the same as walking from the green bricks in the city, and it's even smoother."

This blue brick will also loosen one day. If any brick is loose, and it rains again, and water accumulates in the cracks of the bricks, whoever steps on it without eyes, the mud and water stains from the cracks of the bricks will splash on the clothes , that's a very annoying thing.

It's just that they looked at the many small cement blocks next to them, and they placed a column beside them.Some have dried up, and some are still dripping with water.

"Master Lin, why do you need so many stones? It's not necessary to put them aside, isn't it a waste?"

"My lords, if you want to make this cement road stable and solid, the more cement you use, the better."

Several officials were eager to learn, and they all looked at Lin Zhao and waited for him to explain.

In fact, Lin Zhao didn't understand it at first, but after Jiang Ziyan gave him a popular science, he finally understood.

Now, he explained again what Jiang Ziyan had explained to him.

He said: "This cement is mixed with sand and water, and the ratio is specific. If you use more cement, the corresponding cost will be higher. If you use too little, the cement block will be easy to produce." Dry and cracked. Lin’an has four distinct seasons throughout the year, and the temperature difference between day and night is large. Once the ratio is not suitable, cracks are very easy to appear. These small test blocks are all used for testing.”

"I see." Several officials nodded, this was the first time they had heard of this.

"These small test blocks with cracks are unusable, so the ratio of the test blocks without cracks can be used to make a flat and crack-free cement road."

Nowadays, the construction of Lin'an City is very prosperous, which makes others jealous.One of the officials from the Ministry of Industry said sourly: "Since Mr. Lin has a great talent in this field, why don't you come to our Ministry of Industry and live in this small Lin'an County? You are really overqualified."

"Lord Feng's words are wrong. The emperor has the final say on where the subordinates will serve. Are you questioning the emperor's decision by saying this now?"

These words immediately blocked Master Feng's mouth, and then he said with a look of panic: "Master Lin, don't talk nonsense, I naturally dare not question the decision of the Holy Majesty."

One of the officials came out to smooth things over, "Thunderstorms and rain are all due to the grace of the emperor. No matter where Mr. Lin holds office, it is the emperor's great love, and we are absolutely incomparable."

Lin Zhao was too lazy to argue with them, and excused that there was something important to do when he went back, and asked them to watch here, so he took a step back.

After returning, Lin Zhao did not return to the county office, but went back to the Lin Mansion.

The deaf-mute old man he met a few days ago when he was building the road was brought back by him, but this man seemed to have been abused and his condition was very bad.

Only two days after I came back, I fell into a coma several times.

The doctor said that because he is often hungry, he can only eat one meal in a few days, and now he can only eat some liquid food, and he can't eat too much, and he will spit out a little bit.

Carefully raise it for a few days, and recently it looks better.

Jiang Ziyan stood in the room and looked at the old man beside the bed. His face was covered with scars, and he was so thin that only his skin and bones remained. He looked terrifying.

He said to Lin Zhao, who was also standing beside him, "Where did you pick him up? This is too miserable, and you have to suffer these things at such an old age. Have you found out who he is?"

Lin Zhao shook his head, and the person sent to check the news came back and said that although some people had seen the old man, because he looked hideous, no one dared to approach him to provoke him.

And it is said that he wandered here a month ago, begging all the way along the way, probably because he also knew that he was ugly, so he kept covering his face all the time, so that he could get some food and survive until today.

"Have you noticed, the scars on his face are not like ordinary tree branches."

Lin Zhao had already noticed it when he first saw the old man on the side of the road that day.Because he was deaf and dumb, I thought he had been tortured.

But his gesticulation faintly made Lin Zhao feel that this was not like ordinary torture, so he was brought back.

When he came back, the man fell into a coma.When the doctor came to see him, they realized that the man had many scars, which were exactly the same as the scars on his face, except that the scars on his body were longer and uglier.

"Could it be a sword? It's like a sharp weapon." Jiang Ziyan guessed.

Speaking of sharp weapons, Lin Zhao looked at the width of the scar on his body, and told him directly that it was not a sword, but a bit like...a spear.

"It's not like a sword, wait for him to wake up and ask. How is he doing these two days?"

"It's not very good. He can't hear me when I talk to him, and he doesn't respond to me when I gesture with him. Maybe it's because I was too tired a while ago. I have been sleeping most of the time these days. Even when I wake up, I still sit there Don't say anything."

Jiang Ziyan said, "On weekdays, when you come back at night, he is asleep. Today you just came back in the daytime. When he wakes up later, you can ask him. I heard that she was very excited to call you that day. Gestures, maybe he is willing to tell you, but not necessarily."

Lin Zhao frowned slightly, and he didn't quite understand why the old man was only willing to communicate with him.Could it be that the other party knew him before?

This is even more impossible.Not to mention that he came to the capital not long ago, even Lin'an was not long ago. He had been in Linzhou before, and when he thought about it, he didn't know this person.

If you want to know the answer, you can only wait for the old man to wake up and say it himself.

Here the old man didn't wake up until after lunch, Jiang Ziyan faintly felt that something was wrong, he should wake up at this time.

He glanced at Lin Zhao, and tentatively put his finger on the artery in his neck. Fortunately, the pulse was still beating, but very weak.

Jiang Ziyan felt bad all of a sudden, and quickly said, "Xiao Zhong, hurry up and invite Dr. Xu over here, hurry up."

Lin Zhao saw the anxiety on his face, and asked, "What's wrong?"

"His breath is so weak that it may be dangerous."

"Is there anything different in the past few days?"

"No, it's been fine for the past few days. I've been recuperating according to the doctor's instructions. I just showed signs of improvement in the past two days, but it suddenly happened like this."

"Suddenly? Are you suspecting...someone attacked him?"

"This possibility is not ruled out. However, this person's physical condition is not very good. When he was rescued, he was in a haggard state. It is also possible that his physical condition suddenly deteriorated."

"If someone attacked him, it would mean that there is a big secret hidden in him."

"Wait until the doctor comes to have a look."

Doctor Xu is a doctor in charge of the Rejuvenation Hall in Lin'an City. He has always had a reputation as a master of rejuvenation. Jiang Ziyan trusts his medical skills very much.

After half an hour, Dr. Xu finally came over.

It was the first time Lin Zhao saw the rumored Dr. Xu, but he did not expect to be a middle-aged man in his 30s.

After he came in, he went to the old man's bedside very skillfully, and it seemed that he often came to see the doctor.

Dr. Xu was quietly sounding his pulse, while Jiang Ziyan stood a little further away, muttering softly, "How old do you think he looks?"

Lin Zhao said, "35?"

"No, he's almost fifty, can you believe it?"

Even Lin Zhao was surprised at this time, a man who was almost fifty, his face looked like he was in his 30s.If it wasn't that he was really good at keeping his appearance, it would be that he had fiddled with the age on his household registration.

Jiang Ziyan said again: "This Dr. Xu has a good reputation in this city. It is said that he is rejuvenated and has excellent medical skills. That's why I invited him here."

"However, he really has a few tricks. On the first day you sent this man here, he suddenly became unconscious, his breath was weak, and he seemed to be unable to hold on. As a result, Doctor Xu gave him a few needles, and this man died. Made it through."

Lin Zhao always felt that something was wrong, and he asked, "Is this Dr. Xu always visiting for the past few days?"

"Yes."

"Doctor Xu sounds like a miracle doctor, and his reputation is so good, there must be a lot of people who come to see the doctor every day, right?"

"Yes, there are indeed quite a few. So Dr. Xu probably comes here every time because of your face."

"is it?"

Jiang Ziyan didn't know what Lin Zhao meant and was about to say something when he saw the old man woke up.

Jiang Ziyan walked over and said to Dr. Xu: "Doctor Xu is really a genius doctor with superb medical skills. You have worked hard."

Lin Zhao stood by the bed and looked at the old man on the bed.

The old man's eyes were cloudy, but when he saw Lin Zhao, he suddenly became excited and stretched out his hands, babbling and wanting to say something.

Lin Zhaodao: "Ziyan, you can take Dr. Xu out first, I will take care of you here."

Jiang Ziyan nodded and looked at Doctor Xu, "Doctor Xu, this way please."

After the two of them went out, Lin Zhao stretched out his hand to hold the hand that the old man stretched out in the air, and he suddenly became much quieter.

Lin Zhaodao: "Do you have anything to tell me?"

The old man's eyes suddenly cleared up a lot, and the next moment, something moist passed by the corner of his eyes.

He cried.

But it doesn't look sad, but...happy?

Lin Zhao was a little surprised. This man shed tears because he was happy. Could it be that he felt that his health was much better, so he cried happily?

Lin Zhao knew that he couldn't speak or hear, and just when he was about to gesture with him, the hand he was holding suddenly moved, and then a finger was as light as a feather across his palm, trembling. Weiwei wrote a word.

injustice--

Lin Zhao was puzzled, did the word "injustice" tell him that he was wronged?

Lin Zhao couldn't help but asked, "But what's the grievance?"

It was only after he finished speaking that he realized that he couldn't hear, so he quickly explained to him with gestures with his hands.

Unexpectedly, he hadn't finished making gestures yet, the old man nodded.

This action made Lin Zhao suddenly react, "Can you hear me?"

The old man didn't move this time, but looked at him, his eyes suddenly became cloudy again, and he looked at him numbly.
