Jicheng Avenue is definitely a big landscape of Jicheng now, originally this road extends from the east city gate to Jicheng Palace, several miles of long streets are built straight, as soon as you enter the city gate, you can see the majestic Han Palace in the distance, and since the beginning of the Jicheng reconstruction and expansion project, the first to start construction is this avenue, due to the expansion of the city, this road is now extended by nearly half, and the width is also doubled than the original. In the middle was a wide main road, large enough for four carriages to go side by side, but at the suggestion of the king, the main road was split in two with yellow paint, and only on the right side of the road. At first, the people of Jicheng were puzzled by this regulation, and they only said in their hearts that our king was too lenient, and he actually had to stipulate it when he walked by that side, but after the regulations were implemented for several months, people suddenly realized that such a small change actually made the passage of this avenue much smoother.

This road, which was named Han Road from a distance, was originally one of the busiest roads in Jicheng, and it was often crowded with traffic in Pingsuli, but now, this kind of scene is basically not visible.

On both sides of the main road, rows of evergreen trees several meters high are luxuriant, the crown is like a cloud, in the brick flower beds, some early flowering varieties have bloomed in the morning sun, between the patches of grass, dotted with dotted flowers, behind the flower beds, there are rows of merchants.

At the beginning of the reconstruction, Handao was regarded as the key redevelopment object, and all the houses were demolished and rebuilt to a uniform specification, and the three-story buildings stood on both sides of Handao like two neat armies. These two rows of houses are the same as the Han Road in the middle, which is also the application of the latest technology in the construction of the Han Dynasty, abandoning the previous wood and stone structure, and all of them have been replaced with reinforced concrete structures.

In the process of building the east-west traffic artery, Guo Quan invented the application of cement, the invention of the product of hardened pavement. So that he built the hardening of the road on the cost of greatly reduced, before want to build the road surface solid not afraid of rain and snow, the high cost is the most headache for Guo Quan, cement successfully solved this problem, and when building the bridge, a master craftsman proposed to combine steel and cement as the backbone of the bridge, bridge piers and so on have also been proved in practice, which makes the Han in the history of construction a big step forward, and the speed is greatly accelerated.

Gao Yuan was pleasantly surprised by the invention and application of this technology. These two things have nothing to do with him at all, but are things that the craftsmen invent or experiment with themselves in practice.

The development of people's wisdom has always been what Gao Yuan wants.

These two techniques were immediately ordered by Gao Yuan to be applied to the Han Road and the buildings on both sides.

Gao Yuan's order, of course, is not only to show off his majesty and show his magnanimity, you must know that Han Dao, as a landmark building of the Han Dynasty, will play an important role in promoting these two technologies in the future, in fact, it is also true. After the completion of the Han Road, cement and cement frame structure houses were rapidly promoted in Jicheng, so that the construction of new cities on the outskirts of the old city basically adopted these two new achievements.

The cement hardened pavement of Jicheng has been constantly expanding. Gao Yuan estimates that by the end of this year, the pavement of the new and old cities of Jicheng will complete the hardening of the pavement, and from then on it will bid farewell to the gray on sunny days and mud on rainy days. A clean and tidy Han capital will be presented to the world.

For the merchants on both sides of the Han Road, today is a special day. Because they were notified three days ago that today, all businesses on both sides of the Han Road will be suspended. When they woke up early in the morning, the merchants were surprised to find that on both sides of the road, heavily armed Young Guards soldiers were already standing on both sides of the road like javelins, and what surprised them even more was that all the soldiers had a plain white flower pinned to their helmets.

Since the beginning of the palace has been extended to the distance, all have been under martial law, the former lively Han Road, today is empty, slowly, the front of the merchant began to gather crowds, the Han Road is not allowed to go, but the passage in front of the merchant can not help but walk, gradually, everyone finally knows what day it is.

The corpse of Guo Quan, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry of the Han Dynasty, returned to Beijing today.

Guo Quanzhi's sense of existence in Jicheng is too weak, but a few days ago, the nest case of the Ministry of Industry made the Jicheng people fresh, since the founding of the Han Dynasty, this is the first public trial, the execution of a high-ranking official, an unprecedented thing, naturally let the people of Jicheng remember this Ministry of Industry Zuo Lang.

However, the Ministry of Industry has just had a big case, how can the death of this Ministry of Industry Shangshu still get such a high standard of treatment? In surprise and incomprehension, everyone asked each other and inquired, and Guo Quan's deeds were passed on by word of mouth little by little, and began to spread on both sides of the Han Road.

"Oh, I see!"

"The two avenues were cultivated by this Guo Shangshu!"

"He has always been at the forefront of the construction site, and rarely sits in the yamen!"

"Speaking of which, this is a good officer!"

A buzz began to erupt on both sides of the quiet streets.

At the moment when the morning sun rises, the direction of the palace sounded the melodious horn and the sound of bells and drums, a group of people slowly came out from the direction of the palace, with the march of this group of people, the people on both sides of the Han Road were quiet, because the one who walked in the front, dressed in a royal robe, wearing a crown, although they did not recognize it, but naturally knew that this was the lord of the Han Dynasty, the king of Han was lofty.

Gao Yuan was holding a five-year-old child in his hand, the child looked a little timid, pursed his lips tightly, and looked up at the tall man who was holding him tightly from time to time. Behind them, there was the discussion of the political affairs hall, and then there were the ministers and officials in Beijing, and finally, there was a team of hundreds of people, among these people, except for Gao Yuan, all of them had a plain white silk flower pinned to the official hat.

Everyone guessed his identity from the little boy wearing filial piety clothes, he should be the son of Guo Quan, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, I heard that this master of the Ministry of Industry was fifty-five years old before marrying a wife under the king's wife.

Gao Yuan personally took hundreds of civil and military officials and infantry out of the city for more than ten miles to greet Guo Quan's corpse to show his gratitude to this old minister.

Zheng Jun led the spirit sending team stopped on the outskirts of the city, it was only a year after the last time he entered Jicheng to meet the king, but the changes in Jicheng made him feel dizzying, the original majestic city wall has been reduced to nothing, replaced by a piece of square generally built neatly built houses, the avenue under the feet extends to the end of the field of vision, faintly you can see the faint shadow of the palace in the distance, Jicheng has almost doubled, standing at the east gate before, you can clearly see the palace building. Beside him was the carriage carrying Guo Quan's Lingshu, and he had already received a notice that General Wang would lead hundreds of civil and military officials out of the city to receive the spirit.

"Old Guo, it's really worth it for people to live to your job!" Zheng Jun was very envious of this honor, thinking that if he died, it would be absolutely impossible to get this glory, but thinking about Guo Quan's achievements in the past ten years, he was not jealous, this persistence, not everyone can do it, at least he can't.

When walking on the road, Zheng Jun received the shocking news of personnel changes in the imperial court, Li Can resigned, Wu Kai and Cao Tianci were reprimanded by the king, and what was even more shocking was that the left waiter of the Ministry of Industry lost his head, and the right waiter fell off his official hat, in Zheng Jun's memory, this is the first time that the Han Dynasty has punished high-ranking officials so harshly since the beginning of the Eastern Army.

Wu Kui is unfavorable years, if it weren't for Guo Quan's sudden death, or the king would not be so angry, or because the king was sad that Guo Quan was so desperate, and the other members of the Ministry of Industry who stayed behind did such an unbearable thing, compared with the two, the king's anger can be imagined, if it is changed to normal time, or Wu Kui will not lose his head. Of course, this is just Zheng Jun's conjecture, he thinks more about why Wu Kui was executed so quickly, as an old politician, he also smelled some other meanings from it, I am afraid that there are still some hidden secrets that no one knows.

He shook his head, tossing the thought behind him.

A battalion of young guards had already put this place on guard, and the people who entered the city were going to make a detour today, but this scene attracted people who entered the city, and they stopped and watched in groups, one by one, looking curiously at Zheng Jun and his party.

Gao Yuan and his party appeared in his field of vision, and Zheng Jun retracted his mind and strode forward to meet him.

"Your Majesty, Liaoxi County guards Zheng Jun, send Guo Shangshu back to Beijing!" Zheng Jun paid a big salute.

Gao Yuan nodded, his eyes fixed on the corpse in the carriage: "Lord Guo is still calm?" ”

"Back to the king, Lord Guo walked very calmly, and when he left, he still had a smile on his face." Zheng Jun smiled at the face that was leaning on the recliner and smiling as if he was asleep. He raised a box with both hands, "This is the box that Lord Guo threw in his arms when he was leaving, and it contains the hard work of Lord Guo for more than ten years." ”

Gao Yuan took the box, slowly pulled out the thick booklet nailed with thread from the inside, and slowly turned over the pages, this booklet, condensed Guo Quan's experience in building countless cities, roads, and water conservancy in the past ten years, as well as the specific information of various inventions. Looking at the chicken-like handwriting, Gao Yuan's eyes moistened.

Striding in front of the corpse, Gao Yuan clasped his fists with both hands and slammed it to the ground: "Guo Quan, I'm here to take you home!" ”

Gao Yuan stood up, turned around and picked up the five-year-old doll beside him, put him on the wheel of the carriage, took the reins of the horse with his own hands, and walked forward slowly. (To be continued......)
