Zhu Houzhao had only heard how powerful the cement was, and had never seen it with his own eyes, so he was really curious when he saw it today, and asked, "Is your cement really so powerful?" ”

Zhu Houzhao didn't believe it very much, and Xie Zhi didn't explain much, the so-called seeing is believing, it is better to see it with your own eyes.

Xie Zhi pulled up a smile and said with a smile: "The realm in the clouds will be here soon, Your Highness can see it with your own eyes, the rapid development of the clouds will definitely make Your Highness look new." ”

When Xie Zhi was still in Renzhi County in the clouds, he had already instructed him to start strengthening the houses for the people in the clouds first.

Food and housing is the foundation of a person's life, food can be worse, but the problem of the house must be solved, only by solving the problem of the house, can people have a sense of belonging.

Later, with the construction of various workshops, Yunzhong also really needed manpower, and when solving the house, not only did it take into account the people in Yunzhong, but also fell on these displaced people who came to find a living.

Anyone who intends to be stable for a long time in the cloud will first be helped by the county to build the house, and as for the silver taels spent, they can be slowly made up by working in the cloud.

To put it bluntly, this is equivalent to a form of loan, and the purpose of this arrangement is also to prevent those who are lazy and lazy from taking advantage of this loophole.

After walking for more than half an hour, I gradually approached the boundary in the clouds.

As early as when Xie Zhi left Yunzhong, the cement pavement on Yunzhongguan Road had been paved, and only a few village roads were left unconnected.

Now that Xie Zhidu has done the Metropolitan Procuratorate of the Five Armies, some of the final finishing touches have already been completed.

Stepping on the boundary of the clouds in the ground, he went directly to the cement road, and walking on the cement road, the sound of horseshoe ruts was a lot clearer.

The most important thing is that a group of ministers who were bumped and quickly fell apart felt the stability of the cement pavement for the first time.

The ministers, who were originally grateful to the indignant in their hearts, drilled their heads out of the window in anger after feeling the stability of the cement pavement.

Look at the rolling wheels, the hard, dust-free pavement, and the sparkling new concrete pavement in front of you in the sun.

Xiao Jing, who was sitting in the same carriage with Emperor Hongzhi, sighed: "Your Majesty, this cement road surface is really stable, and there are no bumps at all. ”

Emperor Hongji had already felt this feeling, and now he was peeking out of the car window.

He didn't respond to Xiao Jing's exclamation, and asked for a long time: "If you walk on this road, whether you are transporting grain and grass, or marching, it can be much faster, right?" ”

Needless to say, this is all for sure, at least this kind of road surface is not uneven, there will be no wheels sinking when transporting grain and grass, and there is no need to march while padging the road as usual.

Xiao Jing replied affirmatively: "This should be so." ”

After walking for a while, Emperor Hongzhi gave Xiao Jing an edict: "Go and ask Xie Zhi how to arrange next?" ”

Since Xie Zhi came out of Miyagi, he ordered He Liang to rush to the clouds in advance to prepare.

Xie Zhi is very relieved in all aspects of Yunzhong security, but at least he has to arrange a meal.

Xie Zhi planned to take Emperor Hongzhi and them to the clouds first, and then take them to dinner first.

These ministers knelt in front of the Fengtian Temple for more than an hour, and before they could take a breath, they were pulled into the clouds, and if they didn't even give anyone a meal to eat, these people would probably hate him to death.

However, the most important thing is that these people are not young, and they have to pay attention to it, if these people have three long and two short on this part of the road, Xie Zhi is really difficult to explain.

After Xiao Jing received the will of Emperor Hongzhi, he stopped the convoy.

After the convoy stopped, Xiao Jing got out of the carriage and walked under Xie Zhi's horse and asked, "Yunzhong Hou, Your Majesty asks what the next arrangements are?" ”

Since it was Emperor Hongzhi who asked, Xie Zhi was not ambiguous, and directly replied to his own arrangement, saying: "A certain arranged a meal in Xuezhuang, and it was tiring all the way, so I ate there first, and in the evening, you can see something prepared, and after reading it, I will sleep all night directly in Xuezhuang, tomorrow, if Your Majesty wants to go to the various workshops in the clouds to see, then I will go on a trip, if it is not as good, wait until tomorrow morning, and go back directly." ”

Xie Zhi's arrangement is just one thing, and in the end, it is up to Emperor Hongzhi to make the decision.

After Xie Zhi roughly stated his thoughts, Xiao Jing quickly went back to tell Emperor Hongzhi.

After a while, Xiao Jing returned and said: "Your Majesty said, just do it according to the arrangement of the Marquis of Yunzhong, Your Majesty said, enter the clouds to say that the businessman, remember to expose your identity, and your Majesty will go around the clouds tomorrow." ”

Yunzhong is used as a pilot to enrich the people and strengthen the country, and since it is in the cloud, it will definitely not miss the opportunity to visit and inspect the microservice in the cloud.

Yunzhong's development to this point is the best Xie Zhi can think of, and he also hopes that Emperor Hongzhi can come and take a look.

After Xiao Jing passed on the will, Xie Zhi replied without saying a word: "The minister obeys the order." ”

After agreeing, Xie Zhi took the group into the clouds with a familiar car.

The closer he got to the clouds, the more surprised Zhu Houzhao became, and asked curiously: "The palace has only been gone for a few days, and the clouds are a lot more prosperous than before, right?" There's a lot more to this house, right? Are there people living in so many houses? ”

Zhu Houzhao is really, if you are curious, is it not good to find out with your own eyes? If you have to ask, it seems that he is a little mentally retarded.

Xie Zhi gave Zhu Houzhao a roll of his eyes, and said angrily: "Of course there are people who live, if there is no one, why do you have to get so much, it is all built with cement, it is very strong, how can ordinary people have the ability to build such a good house, although those displaced people are not from the clouds, and they only came to the clouds to find a job, after having these houses, they will never go easily, the more people who settle in the clouds, the more prosperous the clouds can be." ”

Since he wants to explain, then Xie Zhi simply explained it clearly.

Immediately afterwards, Xie Zhi said: "When the prosperity in the cloud has reached its peak, you can arrange workshops in other states and counties, and then arrange these displaced people, so as to point and face, and it will truly realize a county and a rich country, of course, the wealth of the Ming Dynasty is limited, but also a certain amount, if you want to be stronger, you can only look to overseas development, so that the development can stagnate at a certain time." ”

With the development of the cloud, a county and a rich country can save a lot of effort.

After Xie Zhi explained, Zhu Houzhao smiled and replied: "Your method is obviously very good, and you have slowly achieved a rich people and a strong country, why did you offend the courtiers so badly, now it is estimated that many people are dissatisfied with you." ”

What Zhu Houzhao said is also true, he worked hard to change his image, and finally reversed his stubbornness, but now he is infamous as a slanderer, and among the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty, it is estimated that not many people are willing to talk to him.

Actually, Xie Zhi really didn't want to do this, he originally thought that changing all the drawbacks of Daming from the bottom up would also be too powerful for those civil and military generals in the province.

But who would have thought that many things forced him to take action.

Take the recent invasion of Taozhu Village by the Japanese invaders, they have all been bullied to the doorstep, will the Yun Zhongwei he cultivated single-handedly still want to be taoguang and obscure?

However, once you go on an expedition, you need money and food, and the imperial court lacks these things, so what can you do? It is difficult to impose additional taxes.

The water of taxation is too deep, and those who are really rich have evaded taxes because of a fame.

And those ordinary people have no bricks, but they still have to pay this tax, and those who pay that tax have increased with these people, and they can only force more people to leave their homes and become homeless.

The most important thing is that these people really don't have it, and they may not be able to collect the additional income, and the most important thing is that they waste time.

The enemy is showing off his might at home, how can he be hindered by the problem of money and food.

There is no way, this bad guy can only be done by Xie Zhi, and he can only open his mouth to those rich courtiers.

These people don't just rely on taxes to survive, they mostly have side jobs, and there are countless good fields and shops at home, so there is no problem with getting some money and food.

It is not enough to have money and food, the soldiers in the clouds are originally prepared to deal with the Tatars, they are not accustomed to water, and if they want to fight with the Japanese at sea, they must rely on the cooperation of the naval guards.
