Chapter 257: Daming's Highway
In this way, the Xu family also began to pack up, Zhu Gaoxian said that this time, they traveled lightly and simply, and the Xu family became more and more happy.
Within two days, the household department and the military department sent the proposed list of candidates, Zhu Di did not discuss with Zhu Gaochi, but discussed with Zhu Gaoxian to determine Zhang Bendu to transport grain and grass, if the work is done well, after the war, Zhang Bendu Annan.
Zhang Ben, the word to the middle, Dong'a people. Historically, Zhang Ben was an honest and honest official, and he was well known to Zhu Di, the ancestor of the Ming Dynasty, and the crown prince Zhu Gaochi was also good friends with him.
The reason why Zhu Gaoxian chose this person was because when Zhu Di went north, Zhang Ben supervised the transportation of grain and grass many times, which shows his ability and trust.
Although Zhu Di did not discuss Zhu Gaochi, he was already very happy, he was able to stay in Beijing as a prisoner, in the eyes of many people, he was the prince, the established prince, in the past two days, Zhu Gaochi felt that many people looked at him differently.
This made Zhu Gaochi very happy, and he only felt that he didn't need to care about the fourth brother, even now, what was the use of the fourth brother stammering his father and mother like this?
Since he has received a lot of benefits, he must show his brother's bearing in front of his father and mother, and be generous to his younger brothers.
At the end of February, everything should be ready, Zhu Gaoxian personally drove, carrying his father and mother, and the front and rear fully armed military vehicles opened the road, walking in the front is a simplified version of the infantry fighting vehicle, like a light tank, followed by an armored personnel carrier, in the middle is Zhu Di's car, behind is Xu's car, which is empty at the moment, and behind is an armored personnel carrier, as well as a transport vehicle.
Just protect Zhu Di's team, as long as the ammunition is sufficient, it is enough to conquer any country in the world right now, Zhu Di sits in the back row, looks at the front, and occasionally looks behind from the rearview mirror, very satisfied, proud, and will shake Xu's hand.
Xu was afraid that his son would see it, so he looked forward with a red face, secretly pulled out his hand, and glared at Zhu Di with disgust, making Zhu Di laugh.
The road from Yingtianfu to the north was built into a cement road, out of the capital, seeing the straight road, Zhu Di hurriedly stopped, Zhu Gaoxian knew that his father wanted to see the road, and parked the car on the side of the road.
Zhu Di got out of the car and looked at the road in front of him, he was particularly shocked, he had always heard that the cement road was repaired, and the streets in Yingtianfu were also repaired with cement roads, but he didn't expect that the cement roads outside the capital would be like this.
On both sides of the road, there are various dwarf thorn vegetation, in the middle is a flower bed made of cement, and the road on both sides is divided into two lanes, with yellow dotted lines drawn in the middle, and arrows facing forward at intervals.
On the left side of the flower bed, there are also two lanes, but the arrows are drawn backwards, from the arrows, it can be seen that the lanes on both sides of the flower bed have different functions, the right side is facing forward, and the left side is reverse.
This is the same as the distribution of lanes on the streets of Yingtianfu today, each going its own way, reducing traffic accidents.
The road from north to south has not been completely repaired, but the general road surface has been paved, at least for now, Zhu Di stood at the beginning of this road, and saw the galloping road winding forward, and he saw a prosperous and peaceful Ming Dynasty.
There is no bridge on the river, the temporary transfer of the big boat will be the car fainting, the downstream of the river, the bridge piers on both sides, an abandoned boat across the river, the two ends are fixed on the bridge piers, and the shore is connected with wooden planks, the merchants from the south to the north and the people on both sides of the river walk on it, it is very satisfied.
"Dad, in the future, let's build a Yangtze River bridge on this river where trains and cars are connected, and a bridge will fly north and south, and the moat will become a thoroughfare."
Zhu Di leaned on the side of the boat and nodded with satisfaction, "This day will come soon!" ”
In the past, the common people could only wait for the ferry, but now they can cross the river on a smooth road, except for the armored vehicles that cannot pass through this temporary pontoon bridge, his car can drive, not to mention the common people's carriage, which is much better than before.
The setting sun shone on Xu's body, dyeing her cloak gold, the wind lifted her sideburns hair, and Xu's heart was like the wind and sunshine in this twilight spring, quiet and warm.
"Your Majesty, the concubines remember that they used to follow their mother out of the house, and when they were waiting for the boat at this ferry, where was there such a lively day today, it was really changing with each passing day!"
Zhu Di laughed, "What a 'changing day'!" I am the son of heaven, I will not leave the palace gate for a few days, and I will not know my Daming! ”
After crossing the river, it was Puzikou, the armored car did not enter the county seat, but circled around the periphery of the city, Jinyiwei dressed up in civilian clothes, maintained Zhu Di's family of three, and entered the gate of the county seat in a carriage.
Huang Yan stayed in the palace, serving Jiang Bao and the dog, while the Xu family was serving Mama Tang and two personal palace maids, and there were not many entourage, Jiang Bao went first and chartered the best Fucheng Inn in the county.
After a day's journey, although they were a little tired, after freshening up, having a meal, and taking a break, Zhu Di still decided to look around, and Xu and Zhu Gaoxian naturally wanted to accompany him.
After the three of them dressed up, Zhu Di led his wife and children out of the door of the inn, and the brocade guard walked beside him, protecting the three of them tightly.
It's already night, and the county town is still very lively, and many migrant workers from the workshop stop on the side of the road, buy a bowl of wontons or a piece of roasted sweet potato, and then go home after eating.
Because the coal is not easy to transport here, there is no coal stove in Beijing, but what are the flexible brains, borrowed from the structure of the coal stove, made into a charcoal stove, it is very convenient to use.
A group of children ran through the street, and a young man on a bicycle crossed the street with the envy of the crowd.
The streets of the county town are not long, you can see the end at a glance, on the side of the north gate, a teahouse is still open, Zhu Di and the three of them sat down around the table, asked for a pot of tea, and listened to an old man commenting on the book.
"Anyway, at this moment, I saw that the nine golden dragons suddenly formed a circle, protecting the current emperor, above the nine heavens, a voice said, 'Si'er, you have great ambitions, you want my Ming people to eat well, wear good clothes, my father used to be coaxed by those traitors of the Lu family, and paid the country by mistake, and now my father uses nine golden dragons to protect your body, and entrusts this Ming to you, don't live up to your father's hopes!' Guess who this voice is? Who entrusted my Ming dynasty to the current emperor? ”
Zhu Gaoxian took a sip of tea and almost squirted out, but seeing that his father and mother listened very attentively, and there were even tears in his eyes, he hurriedly held back.
When the old storyteller came over with a plate to ask for a reward, Zhu Gaoxian hurriedly put a piece of silver on the tray, and the old man left with a thousand thanks.
