Rushing to Gaochun at night, Zheng He didn't agree at first, for fear that the child would be upside down on the road. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 info How did he know that Tang Ming had already paved the cement road to Nanjing, although this distance was continuous, it also cost Tang Ming a lot. But it's not completely without benefits for him, at least it's much easier to transport the vegetable seedlings out.

Tang Ming only remembered this thing when he mentioned the cement road, since he came back yesterday, he found that the road from the wharf to Nanjing was paved with a layer of plaster-like things, this thing looked like plaster but was very hard, and the carriage walked on it not only flat but also much faster, and did not have to eat dust as before.

After asking his subordinates, he knew that this was something Tang Ming made called 'cement', if it weren't for the fact that he had been busy in the past two days, he would have found Tang Ming to ask clearly.

Several people took two carriages, and soon went out of the city gate, along the cement road clearly visible in the white moonlight, the carriage moved smoothly in the direction of Gaochun.

Zheng He looked at the cement road from the car window for a long time, then suddenly turned his head and asked Tang Ming: "Can your cement be used in the water of the dock, will this thing be softened or broken by the water?" ”

What are you kidding, this is cement, if it is like Zheng He said, then future generations will dare to use it to build docks, dams and bridges. Such worries are completely superfluous, Tang Ming pursed his lips and boasted proudly: "This cement is not only resistant to high temperatures but also not afraid of water, my father-in-law wants to use this thing to expand the wharf, there is no problem at all." Even if it is used to build stones, it is no problem at all, but the current production of this thing is very limited, and it can be said that it is in short supply, so if the father-in-law wants it, he has to queue up, and the kid has no way to give you a convenient door! ”

"Why?"

Zhu Di was stunned and couldn't figure out why Tang Ming said this, Tang Ming shook his head with a wry smile and replied: "Father-in-law doesn't know, this cement is almost covered by the emperor now, and he will take as much as I produce here." At present, the cement of this road is deducted by me, so that I have the opportunity to pave the road from Nanjing to Gaochun with cement. ”

Zheng He nodded suddenly, this thing is used to pave the road so well, the emperor will naturally be worried about it. At this moment, Zheng He didn't care about the dock at all, so he was not in a hurry to get these cements. The two of them in the carriage suddenly fell silent, Zheng He closed his eyes slightly, he was sorting out all the information he had collected in his mind in the past two days.

The changes in the Ming Dynasty in a year are not small, the cement road is heard to be paved to Suzhou City, and now the emperor is transporting the cement to Beiping, and it is used in the newly built imperial city. The cost of this cement is much lower than that of stone and wood, so it also saves the emperor a lot of silver taels.

And the most intuitive is the treasure shipyard, Zheng He has personally inspected it, and Zheng He used to use the assembly line operation, but it was not as meticulous as Tang Ming's arrangement. However, the benefits of this more detailed division of labor are obvious, and the previous assembly line operation was to complete a ship in batches.

But Tang Ming disassembled a whole ship into countless parts, and then divided it according to different parts, and when all the parts were built, let a professional person be responsible for assembling it. This not only saves a large number of craftsmen, but also increases efficiency by more than three times.

When you are not busy like this, you can build more parts of the ship that are more likely to be damaged, or those parts that are more difficult to build can be made in advance, and when it is time to use them, you can pull them out and use them. Just like now, if he wanted to build 100 warships, it used to take nearly a month, and 20,000 craftsmen had to work day and night to barely complete it.

In the current mode, a hundred warships can be easily completed in a month, and nearly 10,000 craftsmen in the current treasure shipyard can do it.

Tang Ming didn't know what Zheng He was thinking at the moment, but judging from the smile that appeared on the corner of his mouth from time to time, he must have thought of something happy. In this way, Tang Ming couldn't disturb him, at this time there was still half an hour away from Gao Chun, Tang Ming simply leaned on the car board, closed his eyes and fell asleep.

The white moonlight shining on the gray-white concrete road gave the coachman a good view of the road, and it was no different from rushing in the daytime. Chasing the carriage on such a flat road, the coachman's mood was not to mention how comfortable, and even the two strong horses that had been running did not seem to feel any fatigue, and kept running steadily and quickly all the way.

Tang Ming only felt that he had just taken a nap, and the carriage stopped, and then the coachman's voice sounded outside: "Master, young master, we have arrived!" ”

At this moment, the coachman's face was obviously still unfinished, and it was the first time in his life to drive the carriage like this.

Tang Ming and Zheng He got out of the carriage, they didn't feel the slightest tiredness, if they had been sitting in the carriage for an hour before, let alone resting, they would have snickered if they didn't have their bones tossed apart by the carriage. Tang Ming fell asleep directly just now, although he didn't sleep for too long, he already felt refreshed.

Hearing the movement outside the door, Tang Ming's little brother quickly opened the door to check, and when he saw that Tang Ming and Zheng He had arrived together, he smiled and brought the two in. And Xiao Ding and Chen Jialan didn't stay here, and went back to Gaochunzhuang directly, the two families were less than a mile apart, and Tang Ming was also very relieved to let them go back first.

The whole Buddhist hall is dark at the moment, such a big house, Yao Guangxiao is stunned that he doesn't even have a few more lights, and there are many dark trees. Tang Ming in the middle of the night felt an eerie aura, if he didn't know that this was a Buddhist hall, he would definitely not choose to come here at such a time.

The little senior brother led the way with a lantern in front of him, and when he came to the back hall, Tang Ming saw that there was a bright light in the small Buddha hall, and he felt a little bright, and his popularity was no longer gloomy.

Yao Guangxiao did not sleep, but meditated, the old monk seemed to be very engrossed, Tang Ming and Zheng He waited at the door for a while, but Yao Guangxiao did not react. The little brother only showed the way for the two and did not make any stay, and threw the two at the door, and he turned around and left.

Zheng He didn't seem surprised by Yao Guangxiao's appearance, and waited at the door with peace of mind. And Tang Mingke didn't have the patience anymore, listening to Yao Guangxiao's mouth muttering about some Buddhist scriptures, it seemed that he would not be able to finish reciting for a while. He didn't want to come in the middle of the night to listen to the old monk chanting some scriptures, and he wanted to knock on the door to remind Yao Guangxiao.

Unexpectedly, Yao Guangxiao suddenly stopped chanting at this time, and shouted in a low voice with his back to the door: "Come in!" (To be continued.) )
