Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.
The so-called Maxima, a thousand miles a day, eight hundred at night, according to modern terms, about forty miles, is the level of electric vehicles. Chen Xu and Sai Huatuo rode high-headed horses, and their degree and endurance were not as good as the legendary sweat-and-blood horses, and they were thirty miles into the sky; The red sandalwood fairy rode a docile mare and ran a little slower.
Chen Xu planned the route, from Jinling to the north through Xuyi County, and rushed to Xuzhou at noon.
The plan can never catch up with the changes, people are sleepy and tired, especially the mount of red sandalwood, foaming at the mouth, snorting and panting as if it hurts asthma, walking and resting, the sun has passed noon, and the three of them can rush to Lingbi County.
said that it was a county seat, but in Chen Xu's opinion, it was just a bigger town.
The three of them found the most decent inn to fight. Because he missed the meal, there were not many guests, and the store saw that Chen Xu and the three of them were brightly dressed and talked extraordinary, and said that they must be the young masters and ladies of the rich and noble families.
Steamed noodles, thin-skinned dumplings, baked cakes baked with chopped green onions, salt, and minced meat, and soup made of batter and eggs, and of course the finale is the secret roast chicken made by the shop.
Chen Xu only felt that his tongue was full of relish, he was purely hungry, although he ate breakfast very well, but after a bumpy morning, he had already put his chest against his back.
"Man, let's have a pot of hot tea, it's getting colder and colder."
"Come on!"
The guy was enthusiastic and trotted to bring the tea to the table. Uncle Saihuatuo went to that one like an uncle, Chen Xu obediently poured tea, although he didn't say it, he was really grateful in his heart, it wasn't Saihuatuo, Xiaoyi had already died; Look at the red sandalwood, he also filled her up.
From south to north. The weather is getting colder and colder, especially when I am riding a horse, and the cold wind blows on my face. Chen Xu wears a leather robe with the illusion of running naked; Rosewood's cheeks were red from the cold, and she took Chen Xu and poured her hot tea. Tremblingly, he took a sip of it to his lips.
Chen Xu was stunned and touched her little hand, which was as cold as an ice cube; He grabbed her sleeve and pinched it, and she was wearing only a jacket.
"Are you crazy?! Why don't you wear more clothes? Chen Xu couldn't help but say, "You have just recovered from a serious illness, and your vitality has not recovered, and you have contracted the wind and cold again." If you don't get it right, you'll die. ”
Zi Sandalwood seemed to be a child who had done something wrong, she just lowered her head and said cowardly, "I'm in a hurry to go out today." Forget... Forgot about ......."
"Man, get a bowl of ginger soup to ward off the cold."
Chen Xu said, he took a cotton robe from his baggage and handed it to Rosewood, "The further north you go, the colder the weather becomes." Put it on. ”
Sai Huatuo smiled, "I can't see that your kid knows how to hurt people." ”
"," Chen Xu said angrily, "If she is really cold, people will have to put the basin that abuses the fairy on my head." ”
Rosewood's shallow smile froze on her face. Silently put on the cotton robe, she lowered her head and said nothing. Neither of them cared, Sai Huatuo just said dissatisfiedly, "Stinky boy, the old man has been crisscrossing the rivers and lakes for decades, and the dignitaries and dignitaries he has seen have gone to the sea, who is not polite?" Dare to be so big and not small with the old man, you are the first one. ”
"Take, take." Chen Xu said......
The meal was quickly served on the table, and Chen Xu ate the steaming xiaolongbao one by one; Saihuatuo is not bad, holding a chicken leg in his hand, and eating with a mouth full of oil; Only the red sandalwood fairy lowered her head and chewed slowly, she still picked vegetarians.
"Here you go, hurry up and eat!" Chen Xu tore off another chicken leg and stuffed it into Zi Sandalwood's hand, "There is no vegetarian food here, the baked cakes are meat buns, even if there are eggs in the soup." ”
Zi Sandalwood looked embarrassed, and she said to Chen Xu what to abide by the rules and precepts.
Chen Xu stood up as a "King Kong angry eye", and he said with words, "Clear rules and precepts? If the monk doesn't eat meat and doesn't marry a wife, where does the little Bodhisattva in the temple come from? ”
Saihuatuo seemed to hear the truth, and he suddenly realized, "Gao Jian, I said why there are big Buddhas in the temple, and small Bodhisattvas of several feet, it turns out that this is the case." ”
Qingtan's face changed, and she said, "Qiuxia Temple is just an exception, not all monks are like that......"
"Actually, I don't think there's anything wrong with monks looking for women, didn't Confucius say it, and it's sexual. Qiuxia Temple's mistake is that it shouldn't do such a dirty thing, the income of a monk is not low, and there is nothing bad about Ming Media marrying. ”
Zi Tan couldn't say anything about Chen Xu, she simply kept silent.
"Chicken should be eaten while it is hot, it can't be digested when it's cold." Chen Xu also threatened Zi Tan that if she didn't eat it, then she would part ways.
With tears in her eyes, she stared at Chen Xu while gnawing on the thighs of the chicken, her expression was very relieved.
"That's right."
……
After the meal, the three of them took a short rest.
"I'm going to build a road," Chen Xu suddenly brought up the topic, "from the capital to Jinling." ”
"Build roads? It's not that there is no official road from the capital to Jinling, so why do you bother to do this? Sai Hua Tuo said strangely, and Zi Sandalwood also looked at him puzzled.
"That's also called a road? Potholes, horseback riding is okay, drive the convoy past, run a little faster, the car can be torn apart. I'm going to make the road as smooth as a mirror. ”
"How is this possible? The dirt road may be smooth for a short time, but it will definitely be potholed after the rain; Unless you can polish every stone smoothly and stitch it together with skillful craftsmen, it may be possible to pave a street, but it is absolutely impossible to span two thousand miles. ”
Sewartuo questioned.
"If you want to use the power of the imperial court, I am the first to disagree. Such a huge project not only wastes money, but also wastes manpower, which must be done by hundreds of thousands of people. The people are already miserable, can you bear to toss them again? ”
Rosewood also objected.
"It's said that the chest is big and brainless, and the red sandalwood fairy is just that, brother, are you so short-sighted?"
Sai Huatuo was angry, "Boy Chen, if you can't say that you are ugly today, the old man is not finished with you, even if you don't pick up a layer of skin, I have to let you pour some laxatives." ”
Chen Xu heard a tingling of his spine, and he didn't believe it, Saihuatuo was an expert in medicine, and if he really gave him some laxatives, he might not be able to detect it.
"I'll answer your first question first, I can tell you very responsibly, there is a thing called cement."
Water and mud? Sai Huatuo and the two of them don't understand that such a road ghost will walk.
"Cement is a kind of powdery soil ash, add an appropriate amount of water to become a slurry, mixed with sand and gravel can be made into concrete, hardened with you to shape any shape, once condensed, even if the hardness is not as good as stone, I am afraid it is almost the same."
Saihuatuo and Zi Sandalwood looked at each other, and the former said, "Why hasn't the old man heard of this magical thing?" ”
"Because I haven't made it yet, it's Lao Tzu's patent."
Chen Xu didn't wait for the two of them to come back to their senses, he continued, "As for the so-called extravagant money, it is even more ridiculous. What is Money? When gold and silver were in circulation, it was money, and it was hidden in the treasury, and it was only precious metal. Wealth is not water in a basin, use some will be less, the key depends on how you make the money circulate. ”
