Chapter 328 Cement Pavement

Chongzhen got off the horse and stood on the concrete floor, feeling this solid touch, and he was in a good mood.

"This has the flavor of the 21st century, and when I can refine oil in the future, I will definitely build a few more asphalt roads!" Chongzhen's belly.

He saw that the road was three meters wide and stretched all the way to the north, and said loudly, "It seems that it was repaired all the way from Jingshi, why only to Bazhou, according to the output of the cement factory, in the past five months, this road should not only be repaired!" And the road is so narrow, it seems that this is not the main road to the south!"

Huang Zongxi and the others were shocked when they heard this, "What, this road was built in five months? Still narrow? Isn't it the main way yet?"

Chongzhen saw their fuss, frowned and looked over, "What? You think it's slow, right?"

"Your Majesty." Huang Zongxi was helpless, "It's too fast! You know, Jingshi is nearly 200 miles away from Bazhou!"

"Yes, to build roads, it takes ramming earth, transporting stones, recruiting a large number of soldiers and people, and consuming immeasurable manpower, money, and animal power. If there is a war going on today, it is really unbelievable that Jingshi can still cultivate such a neat official road." Gu Jishen was also surprised.

Chongzhen smiled, "Still ramming earth and transporting stones? That's the original! Not anymore."

Seeing that the three of them were puzzled, Mo Dacheng stepped forward to explain, "The emperor invented cement, and has built two cement factories, according to previous estimates, 10 miles of land can be repaired in one day, and the distance from Bazhou to Jingshi is 20 days at most!"

Huang Zongxi and the three of them looked at Chongzhen and Mo Dacheng in disbelief, and almost wrote their disbelief on their faces.

Chongzhen is reluctant to explain, facts speak louder than words, and when he returns to Jingshi, he should be able to see the cement road leading to the nine gates in all directions.

With a flat cement road, the speed of a group is significantly improved.

The 200-mile road took 3 days to arrive.

Jin Yiwei has sent the news back in advance, and ordered the prince to welcome him, and the ceremony was simple.

Only a small number of officials from the Cabinet, the Military Aircraft Department, and the Ninth Ministry participated.

Chongzhen was in a hurry, and after hastily coping with the triumphal ceremony, he was going to the palace.

A group of ministers were still following, as if there were many things to report.

Chongzhen was upset, and said in his belly, Lao Tzu has been running around for months, and now he is only focused on seeing his daughter-in-law, how can he pay attention to you bearded people.

"If you have something to do with the prison country, you must ask me, and I'll talk about it tomorrow!" Chongzhen put down a sentence and left in a hurry.

The crown prince could see that his father was like an arrow, so he stopped the ministers: "My father has been on the road for a month, and he must be extremely tired, so you gentlemen should go back."

When everyone heard this, they immediately felt ashamed, and secretly blamed themselves for not knowing that they felt sorry for their father, and went back to the government office with their heads bowed with red faces and bowed their heads.

Huang Zongxi, Gu Jishen, and Tang Zhen saw that the ceremony was dispersed, looked at each other, couldn't take a break, and went directly to the gates of the capital division.

They can't forget the cement official road.

It is impossible to satisfy curiosity and curiosity without finding out.

They worked tirelessly, divided into three roads, went out of the city gate from three directions, galloped on the newly built official road, and went away without looking back.

Huang Zongxi walked eastward, looking at the endless cement road, his heart was like a stormy wave.

"The road that is nearly two feet wide was really built in five months?"

He galloped out for an hour, and when the horse was tired and could not move, he stopped, dismounted and rested on the side of the road.

It happened that a caravan was coming, Huang Zongxi stepped forward to ask, and after several exchanges, he learned that the cement road had been repaired to Shanhaiguan.

It is said that it has extended to Liaodong, and this caravan cannot leave the customs, so I don't know where it is.

Huang Zongxi was stunned, "Shanhaiguan? It's 600 miles away from Kyoto! It is a miracle that the five-meter-wide road was built in five months, and it is still so solid and smooth!"

Before sunset, the three of them rushed back to Jingshi, and after meeting at the post house, they had a conversation, which was even more shocking.

The official road repaired by the Jingshi not only went east to Shanhaiguan, but also repaired to Tianjin, Jizhou, Miyun, Xifengkou, Xuanfu and Baoding.

The three of them were stunned, and went to Yicheng again, and after some conversation, they couldn't close their mouths anymore.

It turned out that Yi Cheng told them that the official road of the imperial court would be able to reach Jinzhou in the east, Datong in the west, and Kaifeng in the south before this winter!

In the future, it will be together with every city of Daming! The official document in the court said that it is called building an official network!

Huang Zongxi swallowed his saliva vigorously, feeling that he couldn't sleep for the past three days.

……

Palace.

Chongzhen had been sitting in the study of Kunning Palace for several hours.

He was waiting for Zhou Yingluo to wake up.

It turned out that Zhou Yingluo had morning sickness for a few days and vomited for three whole months, and then finally stopped vomiting, and as a result, she began to be sleepy.

No, I wanted to go out to meet her today, but the imperial doctor didn't agree to it, and then the prince also came, so she was persuaded to stop.

Zhou Ying was in a hurry to wait in the palace, couldn't do anything, and fell asleep again when she was bored and anxious.

This sleep is more than 2 hours.

Therefore, Chongzhen waited dryly for more than 2 hours.

When the sun set, Zhou Yingluo finally woke up faintly.

Hearing the whisper of the palace maid, she sat up from the bed at once, stepped on her shoes, and ran out.

Chongzhen saw Zhou Yingluo running towards him in a panic with her skirt, and hurriedly put down the "Rootless Tree" in her hand and stopped, "You are pregnant with a child, run slowly, I won't leave!"

Listening to this familiar voice, Zhou Yingluo's tears fell unconsciously.

Walked a few steps slowly and threw himself into Chongzhen's arms.

"This girl ......" Chongzhen hugged his daughter-in-law, and his heart was warm.

Some of the palace maids looked at the ceiling, some looked at the ground, and they looked at each other one by one, and no one dared to make a sound.

After hugging him for a while, Chongzhen said, "Okay, I'm not coming back, come, let me see if you're thin or fat."

Zhou Yingluo let go of her arm when she heard this, and looked at Chongzhen faintly: "I'm not fat or thin, I'm hungry!"

……

On the other side, Zhu Cihong had a stomach full of words waiting to talk to Chongzhen, but when he heard that his father had returned to the palace, he went straight to Kunning Palace and never came out.

I couldn't help but smile bitterly.

"Daddy, the child is tired, come out quickly, my son is going to resign!"

……

Zhou Yingluo slept all afternoon, in good spirits, after dinner, she pulled Chongzhen to chat, as if she had endless words.

When Chongzhen said that Azig's 100,000 army surrounded him, Zhou Yingluo's heart tightened, and his face froze, "So many people!"

"yes!" Seeing that she cared so much about herself, Chongzhen was moved.

"We're going to have to waste a lot of bullets!"

Chongzhen's eyes darkened, "I'll go, you're distressed bullets......

"The Arms Bureau spends money like running water, don't I feel distressed!"

Chongzhen touched Zhou Yingluo's head speechlessly and dotingly, "It's okay, now our family is very rich, you may have forgotten that the Arms Bureau uses the money from the treasury, not our internal money!"
