Chapter 741: The Silver in My Pocket Suffers

The popularity of the telegraph machine lasted for a long time, and even after a month, the door of the telegraph office was still blocked.

It's nothing to the people, and they don't have to go through it every day.

But it was hard to catch up with the ministers of the early dynasty.

The location chosen by the newspaper office is the most prosperous part of the city, and it is also the only way for the ministers to pass through the early dynasty!

In this way, they will have to take a detour, which is very troublesome!

When they arrived at the top of the main hall, while Yingzheng had not yet come, the ministers complained one after another.

"We're going to go to court early, and we're going to wait here as soon as the time comes, but now that the road is blocked, we have to get up two quarters of an hour early, and I don't even have time to eat breakfast! When you get up, you have to change your clothes early! ”

"Who's to say it isn't! What business His Royal Highness the Crown Prince does, whatever business is very popular! The people lined up outside the telegraph office before dawn, and it was not too cold? ”

"What! They didn't go home at all, they waited at the door of the telegraph office, otherwise they wouldn't be able to line up at all! ”

"Tsk...... It's horrible! ”

No one expected that just sending a message would become so popular.

When the train was first opened, although it was also extremely popular, it was difficult to find a ticket.

But a month later, the heat gradually subsided!

And this time, after a month, the heat has no intention of subsiding, but is getting more and more popular!

"His Royal Highness the Prince, you have to think of a way, you can't let the people always line up on the street like this, it's inconvenient for us to go up and down!"

Seeing Ying Feiyu coming, the old minister Feng went to illness and said with a bitter face.

"Hey, Feng Shangshu is just embarrassing me, where the people are waiting, it's not something I can manage!"

Before entering the court, Xiao Zhengtai vaguely heard the conversation of the ministers, so he shrugged his shoulders in embarrassment.

"Besides, Feng Shangshu is driving a steam car back and forth, even if it is a little detour, it shouldn't be okay, right?"

"Uh...... That's true, but it's just a pain for your colleagues! ”

Feng Qu quickly turned his head and glanced at everyone, and everyone nodded again and again very cooperatively.

"That's no way, the road in Xianyang City is so wide, and this prince can't influence the whereabouts of the people, why don't Feng Shangshu fund the road in the city to widen it?"

Ying Feiyu asked with a wicked smile.

"Huh? This...... This...... Forehead ......"

As soon as he heard this, Feng Qujian immediately wilted, and he couldn't say why he came for a long time.

Since he followed the prince into a shareholding business, he has indeed saved a lot of money, but he must be unwilling to let him pay for his own money to build roads!

"Your Majesty has arrived at ......"

Just when he was embarrassed and didn't know what to say, a sharp voice came.

Immediately afterwards, Ying Zheng appeared in everyone's sight with a big belly!

"What are you talking about?"

Ying Zheng was smiling and seemed to be in a good mood.

But the two big dark circles on the face are very abrupt!

"Poof......

Xiao Zhengtai covered his mouth and snickered.

Since this old guy got the game console, he has been playing day and night, and he refuses to return it to Xiao Zhengtai.

At the same time, he refused to pay such a high price, and only promised to give 2,000 gold a day.

Anyway, it needs to pay for some batteries, and Ying Feiyu agreed!

It is estimated that this old guy has been holding the game console all night and has been playing until the morning!

"Your Majesty, you ...... What are you? ”

When an imperial historian saw Yingzheng's appearance, he immediately showed a worried look.

"Ahh It's okay, there were a lot of twists and turns yesterday, I watched it for a while, and I slept a little late! ”

When changing clothes, Ying Zheng also looked in the mirror, and that look startled him.

So as soon as the minister opened his mouth, he knew what he was referring to, and he had already thought of an excuse!

"Your Majesty should take care of the dragon body!"

Unwitting ministers surrendered their hands.

A few old guys also gave their hands together, but they snickered when they bowed!

Your Majesty's face is tired, why did you sleep a little late? You haven't slept at all, have you?

"By the way, what were the Aiqing talking about just now, so energetic?"

In order to divert the topic, Ying Zheng went around again.

If he heard it correctly, it seems that Feng Quji, that old guy was deflated?

"Uh...... It's nothing......! ”

"Father, Feng Shangshu feels that the road in Xianyang City is a little narrow, and he wants to fund the reconstruction!"

However, Feng Qujian had just waved his hand when he was interrupted by Ying Feiyu and pushed up.

After saying that, don't forget to raise your eyebrows at him!

"Oh? Feng Aiqing, is there such a thing? ”

As soon as he heard this, Ying Zheng's eyes lit up.

Several other veterans covered their mouths and snickered!

Feng Quji, this guy is a monkey spirit, and he wants to be a good person, so that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince can find a way to dredge people, don't block the road, and affect the ministers up and down the court!

Now it's okay, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince just said a word, and immediately let the silver in his pocket suffer!

"Uh...... Be! ”

There's no way, it's already here, if you don't agree to come down, won't it disappoint Your Majesty?

But he is not a fool, and as soon as he rolled his eyes, he immediately thought of a way to minimize the loss!

"Your Majesty, the telegraph agency has provided a lot of convenience for the people, so the people will come like a tide! But this also affected the traffic in the city, so the minister was willing to fund the widening of the road near the telegraph office, which would not affect the people to send telegrams at the same time, and would not affect the normal travel of other people in the city! ”

Feng Quji's words are simply killing three birds with one stone.

At first, he praised the telegraph office, and then stated that he would only repair the section of the road near the telegraph office to minimize the damage.

In the end, he said that this move was to facilitate the travel of other people in the city and win a good reputation!

Even Ying Feiyu couldn't help but give him a thumbs up.

"Haha! Good! All of you Aiqing must learn from Feng Aiqing! ”

Ying Zheng smiled and praised.

If everyone takes the initiative to build roads, then the imperial court will save a lot of money in a year!

"Your Majesty, rest assured, the minister will find someone to go to the outside of the city tomorrow to pull sand stones!"

was praised by Yingzheng, Feng Qujian felt a lot better, if he lost some money, he would lose some money, who would make himself cheap.

"Feng Shangshu, who still uses sand and gravel to build roads now, they all have to use cement! It is durable, it won't break for decades, it won't get muddy even when it rains, the road is smooth, and the wagon can run a lot faster! ”

At this moment, Ying Feiyu spoke indifferently.

It has not been a year or two since cement was invented by him, and before that the production was not high, it was only used to renovate houses, repair city walls, and rarely to build roads.

Now the production is getting higher and higher, and it is enough to build roads!

"Well, Fei Yu is right, if you want to repair it, you can build a cement road!"

Ying Zheng agreed.

"What? Cement? ”

Hearing this, Feng Quji almost fainted.

He was in charge of the Ministry of Engineering and knew the prices of wood, bricks and cement best.

If the road is built with cement, how much will it cost?

The street in front of the telegraph office, although it is a secondary road, is also six zhang wide.

If you widen it again, I'm afraid it's going to be eight zhang!

Even if it's not manual, it's tens of thousands of gold!
