If this sentence is changed to ancient China, why is it called? It should be called 800 Li express. Where is the earliest expressway in human history? It's in China. It was built by Qin Shihuang 2200 years ago. The name is straightforward, called the way of Qin. You know, the highways in ancient Rome have been abandoned, but after thousands of years, Qin Zhi Road can still be used normally.
Speaking of Qin Shihuang, it is estimated that everyone knows it. As the first emperor to unify the six countries, Qin Shihuang was a very confident man. He calls himself the first emperor. After Qin Shihuang, all rulers began to call themselves emperors. After Qin Huang unified the whole country, he had a hobby, that is, visiting his own territory and seeing his own Great Qin State.
Qin Huang patrolled many places. At that time, the son of heaven had absolute sovereignty. The emperor's inspection can be said to be a national effort. In order to make your trip to Qin Huang more comfortable, you can show your Emperor an army. Qin Shihuang ordered General Meng Tian to build Qin Zhi Road. Convenient for the emperor to go on patrol.
Qin Zhidao, built by Qin Shihuang, runs through Gansu, Shaanxi, Mongolia and other places, with a total length of more than 700 kilometers. This is by far the best-preserved traffic trunk road. The existence of this world that cannot be replicated. Although there is no specific data to prove the completion time of Qin Zhi Road, what we can know at present is that it was still under construction during the period of Qin Ershi.
It is obvious that Qin Zhi Road has been built for thousands of years. At present, there is no reinforced cement asphalt used for pavement. This is completely muddy ground. Now we will find a strange phenomenon when we look at Qinzhi Road. Qin's straight road actually doesn't grow grass. You know, the vitality of grass is very strong. Why didn't Qin Daozhi plant grass for thousands of years and maintain it specially?
Some geologists brought back a mound on Qin Zhi Road for research. I was shocked after the research. The soil used to build Qin Zhi Road is not ordinary soil. These soils are all cooked by fire, which means there is no nutrition. Without nutrients, no plant can grow naturally. This is the secret of the way of Qin dynasty.
On the other hand, under the conditions at that time, let alone admire the ancients, you can think of this method. Just think about it, the 700-kilometer road is paved with cooked soil without any modern facilities, and the thickness is definitely not low, so you will know how much the sweat of the working people has earned.
