Although the laying of wooden rails on the road does solve the problem of rutting, but after all, the wooden track is placed on the roadbed of the soil, the quality of the construction varies from good to bad plus the erosion of rain and snow, some of the road is broken soon after repair, and the wooden rail and sleepers are wet wood, plus buried in the soil, it is very easy to deform and rot, even if it is not washed away by water for three or five years, it will rot and cannot be used.

After the emperor ascended the throne, he has traveled twice, one is to worship the ancestors of Daqin in Longxi County, and the other is to tour the southeast last year, the southeast rains a lot, and many of the roads that have just been repaired have begun to be damaged, especially along the river, where the flood swept away, it is not said that it is a wooden track, and even the roadbed has been washed without the slightest trace.

Because of this, passing by Bolangsha on the way back, he could only use people to push the carriage slowly in the mud and sand, which also gave Zhang Liang a chance to assassinate and almost killed Qin Shi Huang.

If all roads across the country were built with concrete, everyone would feel that it would be a one-and-done project, and that the rock-solid roads would only be destroyed by a catastrophe that would collapse the sky.

Therefore, when the emperor spoke, he was a little fluttering, and all the civil and military officials who followed to observe this cement road were also a little fluttering, and their eyes were excited, as if they saw a straight and hard highway network connecting all the counties of Daqin.

But Chen Xu couldn't float with a wry smile in his heart, to build a cement road connecting counties and counties across the country, it was almost an impossible task for Daqin to be placed at the moment, but according to Lao Qin's character and temper that he likes to work hard, forcibly getting on the horse is estimated to put Daqin out of business in advance.

"Your Majesty, the construction of cement roads connecting the whole country still needs to be considered in the long run, the minister suggested that the Academy of Sciences should take the lead, and the three provinces and six ministries should coordinate the establishment of a special agency to undertake this matter, because the matters involved are too complicated, and the minister and Vice President Zhang will convene some craftsmen who are proficient in road and bridge construction to study and then reply to Your Majesty, you can't eat hot tofu in a hurry, so please don't be too hasty!" After countless thoughts flashed in Chen Xu's mind, he hurriedly put forward his own suggestion.

"Well, Aiqing is reasonable, Zhang Cang also said that the development of cement is time-consuming and laborious, and a large number of river sand and pebbles that meet the regulations are needed to be used, so please ask Aiqing to prepare for the agency as soon as possible, and the officials of the three provinces and six ministries will be deployed by Aiqing, and the construction of the Chidao will begin immediately after the preparation is completed!" Qin Shi Huang wiped the beads of sweat from his forehead to confirm this matter.

"Yes, the ministers will definitely cooperate with the Marquis of Qinghe to prepare for the road construction department as soon as possible!" Li Sifeng, Ji Jimeng Yi and other officials from the three provinces and six ministries who accompanied him all hurriedly surrendered their orders.

Chen Xu breathed a sigh of relief, and then accompanied Qin Shihuang to walk the two-mile-long cement road back and forth, and at the same time explained in detail the process of developing cement in the factory, and praised Zhang Wenhe and others, who had made great contributions to the development of cement.

Dozens of merchant ships were docked at the wharf by the river, and a large number of goods were piled up on the bank, such as grain, cloth, pottery, medicinal herbs, and other northern and southern products, but at this time, everyone on the wharf was cleared, and what was seen in front of me was an empty cargo wharf without a person.

Several of the pier's crossings are wooden bridges made of giant logs, and the ground is all mud and grass, which looks quite out of place with the newly built concrete road.

A group of people walked along the cement steps to the ferry by the river, under the wind of the river, the heat in the air also weakened a lot, the river flowed in a hurry, the reed flowers on both sides of the bank bloomed, the vines were overgrown with thorns, and there were snakes, insects and wild birds in the grass from time to time to fly and swim.

Under the cloudless blue sky, the largest capital of the Great Qin Empire, although there are many palaces outside the city outline, it still can't hide this primitive atmosphere.

"I heard that Aiqing is planning to build a cement bridge over the Wei River?" Standing under a big tree by the river to rest, Qin Shi Huang turned his head and asked.

"Yes, Your Majesty, Xianyang is in the north of the Wei River, but the Central Plains is in the south of the Wei River, there are countless business trips and communication documents between Xianyang and the Central Plains every day, a large number of goods need to be transported to and from both sides of the Wei River, although the wooden bridge is strong, but it is narrow and shaky, and the load is not enough, resulting in a large number of trucks and goods accumulated on both sides of the river to pass slowly, and many goods have to be transferred through the ferry, which not only greatly increases the cost of goods, but also reduces the speed of the circulation of goods, if there is a rainstorm weather, Some of the transported grain, cloth and other goods were rained, resulting in many merchants running out of money, but also let the living materials of millions of people in Xianyang not be replenished in time, and I heard that the ferry often has ships capsized, not only the goods will be lost, but also will cause casualties, if this cement bridge is built, the two sides of the Wei River will be turned into a thoroughfare, and the goods of the cart will pass back and forth on both sides of the Wei River as if they were on the ground, and there will be no backlog of goods and loss of personnel......"

"Aiqing is not only reasonable, but also far-sighted, the matter of repairing the bridge is accurate, and the six ministries of the three provinces will vigorously cooperate and coordinate, the sooner this cement bridge is repaired, the better!" Qin Shi Huang nodded.

"Thank Your Majesty for your support, the minister will definitely complete this task as soon as possible!" Chen Xu gave up.

"Su Fu Decree Draft!" Qin Shi Huang turned to look at the civil and military officials gathered around him, and the CRRC Mansion ordered Su Yue to quickly let a few of the confessors who came with him take out the pen, ink, paper, and inkstone that he carried with him, and the two confessors pulled out a piece of cloth, and Su Yue spread out the hemp pulp paper on the cloth, lifted the brush and waited.

"Decree, the manager of the cement workshop of the Academy of Sciences, Zhang Wenshang, is responsible for the national cement firing matters, a house in the city, a real estate in ten acres of grain fields outside the city, fifty slaves, twenty good horses, 100,000 yuan, and the official position is temporarily listed as five products, which is equivalent to the stone room order of the Ministry of Industry, because cement is a new thing, the official department redrafts the name of the official position and reports it to the province for signing, and other rewards follow the old practice!"

"Decree, Doctor Zhang Cangzhong, vice president of the Feng Academy of Sciences, reward a house in the city, a hundred acres of land, thirty slaves, a reward of 50,000 yuan, and the others should be rewarded with the old example!"

"The decree is that all craftsmen and craftsmen who participate in the development and testing of cement will be rewarded with a reward of 10,000 yuan, and other rewards will follow the old practice!"

"Decree, seal the ...... of the Marquis of Qinghe"

"Your Majesty, slow ......down" As soon as he heard that he was going to give himself a reward, Chen Xu hurriedly stood up.

"What do you have to say?" Qin Shi Huang asked with a smile.

"Your Majesty has given enough rewards to the ministers, and the ministers dare not accept it!"

"Hehe, Aiqing began to refuse before I heard what the reward was, but Aiqing had already agreed to this reward, and this time I can't shirk it!" Qin Shi Huang laughed a little chicken thief.

Chen Xu was inexplicable when he heard it, and a group of officials around him were also confused.

"Aiqing entered the palace a few days ago to ask to marry my beloved daughter, the fifth princess Shiyan, could it be that Aiqing has changed her hexagram?" Qin Shi Huang looked at Chen Xu's expression and became a little serious.

"Ah...... No, no, no! Chen Xu hurriedly shook his head like a rattle.

He has clearly promised Ying Shiyan to marry her this time, and he will definitely not break his promise again, and in the past few days, Ying Shiyan has also brought a group of sisters to play happily at his own house, if he shirks it again, I don't know how sad and painful Ying Shiyan will be after he knows, not to mention that the emperor said it in front of so many princes and princes by the river that is not in front of the village and behind the shop, he definitely can't refuse, otherwise the emperor will not look good, and in a fit of anger, let a group of Xuanwu guards press themselves into the river and drown half to death.

Between marrying the emperor's daughter and his own life, Chen Xu readily chose to marry a princess, an answer that the emperor and everyone liked.

"That's good, the Su Mansion decree drafted the decree, sealed the Qinghe Marquis as the Marquis of Jingyang, 3,000 households, moved the Huayu Palace to Jingyang County, and the Inner History Mansion, Shaofu and the Ministry of Industry arranged to build a new palace as soon as possible, and when the construction is completed, the Qinghe Marquis ...... Well, the Marquis of Jingyang, please prepare three books and six ceremonies to marry my daughter Shiyan! ”

Chen Xu: ......

Minister of Civil and Military Affairs: ......

"Your Majesty...... Your Majesty, you changed the title of Marquis of Qinghe to Marquis of Jingyang, so whether the original title and food should be withdrawn, there has been no law on this matter before, and please ask Your Majesty to show your subordinates how to deal with it? The Ministry of Household ordered Gao Teng to stand up and stammered.

Many officials also looked at the emperor with disdain.

The fact that Qinghehou wants to marry the fifth princess is almost known to the entire Great Qin world, if it weren't for the incident of Princess Qingning, it is estimated that Qinghehou would have taken the fifth princess back to play now.

Although I don't know why the Marquis of Qinghe insisted on marrying the dead Princess Qingning, after all, Princess Qingning died before she got married, and in fact it was not officially married.

Although the marriage system of the Qin Dynasty was clearly stipulated in the law, in fact, because of the collapse of the Zhou Dynasty and the abandonment of traditional etiquette and morality by the Legalist rule, there were no restrictions on widows and widows to marry and remarry, and because of the principle of putting national interests first, in response to the country's population growth and food demand after the war, the status of men and women in the family was recognized by each other in the Qin law, that is, men and women were almost equal in many aspects, such as the husband abusing his wife and the wife abusing her husband for the same crime. A wife can kill a husband who commits adultery with another woman, etc., and there is no law and etiquette after being widowed, and how long does it take to marry and remarry after being widowed, so although Princess Qingning has only died recently, Chen Xu can remarry at any time.

Therefore, the emperor suddenly married his second daughter to Chen Xu, and the civil and military officials did not feel that there was anything wrong, but the matter of changing the title of Chen Xu to the Marquis of Jingyang was too sudden, because there was almost no need, what is the difference between the Marquis of Qinghe and the Marquis of Jingyang, it is just a name.

But the strange thing is that the emperor doesn't seem to plan to take back the name and fiefdom of the Marquis of Qinghe, because he didn't mention it when he drafted the edict.

"The original name and food of the Marquis of Qinghe are all retained, if I get a grandson, I will inherit the Marquis of Qinghe!" Qin Shi Huang said indifferently.

"Wow~" The civil and military officials were in an uproar, and they all looked at Chen Xu dumbfounded.
