When the spring was cold, Lan Caier and Bai Peony received a task from the head of the family to build a "high-speed road" through small-scale fundraising. Updates are fast and ad-free.

The starting point is Tianjin Weihai Port, and the end point is Jingshi Guangqumen, with a total mileage of about 350 miles, and the Huang family engineers made a budget after exploration, with a total cost of 1.5 million silver coins.

The highway is fully enclosed, and the width of the design is large enough for six four-wheeled carriages to run side by side.

There is a post station every thirty miles, similar to a highway service area, which has enough horses to pull horses for passing carriages to change horses, and it is necessary to always keep the carriages moving at the fastest speed.

There are fierce oil street lamps along the highway, and the four-wheeled carriage can travel day and night, changing horses every 30 miles, so that the speed of passenger and freight can catch up with 600 miles of expeditious.

That means twelve hours is enough to reach a speed of nearly six hundred miles.

The successful construction of this road will greatly increase the efficiency of troop projection and will cause the cost of grain transportation to plummet.

The soldiers of the Huang family landed from the port of Tianjin and could reach the Beijing division within a day. In the future, it will be easy to pick up officials from Beijing or go ashore from Tianjin Wei to reinforce them, and it will also lead to a sharp reduction in the loss of grain transportation, making it more convenient and faster.

Huang Sheng is trying to build toll roads this time, and raise funds by raising shares, and once successful, he will have experience in issuing "Huaxia Road and Bridge" shares on a large scale in the future.

Cai'er took the white peony into the palace for public relations, and soon Empress Zhang Yan and Empress Zhou learned that the white peony was going to raise shares to build bridges and pave the way.

Building roads is a great thing for the benefit of the country and the people, and the two kind beauties were attracted, and took a group of women to listen carefully to the ins and outs.

It's just that they don't understand, because this time the road repair behavior is completely different, the road built can't be walked by cars and horses, and you need to pay for this road, and pedestrians can't walk on this road.

Cai'er and Bai Peony explained the benefits and operation process of the "high-speed road" to the two queens and several concubines, which of course Huang Sheng copied the operation mode of the toll highway in later generations.

Emperor Chongzhen was blown by Empress Zhou and Tian Guifei, and knew that the king of Qiongya County had another moth, so he was whimsical and let everyone work together to build roads with money in the mode of selling stocks.

Everyone was happy to build bridges and roads, and they all thought that this was a good deed and a good thing, and there was no need for the court to take money, and the emperor certainly hoped to be able to promote such a good deed.

Chongzhen couldn't cry or laugh a little, and the king of Qiongya County was whimsical.

After saying all the good things yourself, let the officials and nobles take out the silver to share the country's worries and solve problems, but they can't get the silver, will these people be willing to spend money to build roads?

Emperor Chongzhen was very curious about how the king of Qiongya County would empty the white wolf and set up a big road.

He summoned Lan Cai'er and White Peony, agreed to their plan, and gave the Holy Decree.

In order to facilitate the work, the emperor made a high-profile canonization of the white peony Zhengliupin Shangyi female official who was responsible for road repair.

Who knew that the next development surprised the emperor, and he agreed to build the "Beijing-Tianjin Expressway" just three days later, and the project was launched vigorously.

The rapid development of the Huang family system is to pay attention to efficiency, China's speed is not so simple to say, vigorous and resolute is the Huang family workers must be style, of course, do what they say.

Huang Sheng had long been preparing to build this big road, and the materials had been arranged in advance, and the emperor's support of course started construction immediately, and the sea ships continued to send cement and steel bars to Tianjin Port.

Yellow sand and gravel are taken from local materials, there are countless laborers in Beizhili, this time all recruit strong laborers to work, on the construction site, the huge stone mill cooperates with steel manpower to compaction the foundation of the triple soil mixture, and then pours three inches of reinforced concrete on it.

Because there is no comparison between the "Beijing-Tianjin Expressway" under construction and the "Beijing-Tianjin Expressway" in later generations, the highway driving speed of later generations is 100 kilometers per hour, and the requirements for the road surface are of course high.

As the name suggests, this road is just a horse and a carriage, and the speed is more than 20 kilometers per hour is the limit, which is actually similar to riding a bicycle at full speed, and the requirements for the road surface can be imagined.

The stock of the "Beijing-Tianjin Expressway" sold out 10 silver coins, which were sold out in less than half a month, and all the construction funds of 1.5 million silver coins were in place.

This is because the stock sales of "Huaxia Development" have stimulated many wealthy businessmen, and many people cannot understand the operation of the "Beijing-Tianjin Expressway".

But they are extremely blind to the king of Qiongya, and they don't care about thirty-seven twenty-one, they just rush to buy it, because this stock is cheap, and they spend one or two thousand silver to buy it and then talk about it.

That's it, he looks at you, and 150,000 shares are sold.

Under the command of the Huang family's engineering and technical personnel, the construction site is full of flowers, and 50,000 strong laborers are divided into 18 road sections at the same time, and the project is progressing rapidly, and the road is extending every day.

In the eighth year of Chongzhen, "Nanhua Island" increased its population by a lot, many of them were from Fengyang Mansion in Nanzhili, among which there were 40,000 or 50,000 brightly dressed people who were not from the Ming Dynasty who had no food and clothing, they were investors sent by the shareholders of "Huaxia Development" to buy real estate.

The shareholders really responded to the chairman's call to introduce talents, and too many skilled craftsmen and well-educated people came to work in the Huang family system, and there were too many people to introduce them one by one.

Huang Sheng is very concerned about the introduction of talents, and every month he will listen to Concubine Hexiang introduce the specialties and corresponding positions of these talents according to the roster.

One day in April, Huang Sheng, who was leaning on the soft couch with his eyes closed and listening to Hexiang's introduction of talents, suddenly stood up and stroked his palms and laughed: "Sun Chuanting? Is it Sun Chuanting of Wuwei in Daizhou Town? How did he get to 'Nanhua Island'? “

Seeing that the prince was happy, Hexiang also said happily: "The concubine knows that Sun Chuanting used to be the chief of the imperial court, and she has already sent the military intelligence department to investigate this person, and the intelligence confirms that he has been idle in the township for ten years, and coming to 'Nanhua Island' is completely a personal act and not assigned by the imperial court." ”

"Hahaha, what should Sun Chuanting do after he comes to the emperor of 'Nanhua Island'?"

Hexiang was confused and didn't know why.

Chongzhen in the seventh year of the Jiannu soldier Xuanda, close to Sun Chuanting's hometown, after the Jiannu retreated, Sun Chuanting heard that his former friend Li Zhongzheng served as the Datong soldier Beidao, and went to visit.

Sun Chuanting studied the art of war and learned that Li Zhongzheng had won the first merit of the "Great Victory in Zhubokou", so he specially talked to him about arranging troops.

Li Zhongzheng insisted on fighting Liukou in Yiyang, and he won a great victory in the battle against Jiannu in Zhubokou, and Sun Chuanting was extremely impressed.

Sun Chuanting and Li Zhongzheng have a temper, they are both rare iron-clad ministers with integrity in the late Ming Dynasty, and the two naturally have a thousand words when they meet.

Li Zhong is a moral gentleman, he does not take credit at all, talks about how the "God of War" loves the people, how his subordinates are good at fighting, and solemnly introduces General Zuo Shouquan.
