The public road outside the Imperial Capital city might just be the best-constructed road in the Great Han Empire. Even when it was pouring, the road wasn't muddy and there weren't any water puddles. The rain washed the road's surface clean before it eventually flowed into the ditches at the side...
The Imperial Capital's public road wasn't paved with stone slabs, but large and sturdy paving bricks baked from the kilns. When Yan Liqiang visited the Forbidden City in his previous life, he was told by the tour guide that many places in the Forbidden City were paved with baked paving bricks. They were also known as the golden bricks, which were specially made for the royal palace, instead of stone slabs. The paving bricks on the Imperial Capital's public road were quite similar to the golden bricks in the Forbidden City.
The heavy rain rinsed the paving bricks on the road, revealing their original ash green colors which gave them a touch of antiquity.
