Zhu Di also saw it, and on the way back, he breathed a sigh of relief, "Dad wanted to come out and see it a few times, but he was very afraid, but now that he sees this, he can finally feel at ease, at least, when Dad sits in this country, the people are not clothed and hungry." ”

Zhu Gaoxian said disapprenously, "Dad, you can rest assured, now there are more textile factories and more garment factories, whether it is cloth or clothing, the price is much cheaper, how can it be that you can't be clothed?" Everywhere is being cleared, tractors are also being produced and sold in large quantities, and those rich people have sold a lot of land in order to open workshops, and a lot of land has been distributed to the hands of the common people, so they don't have to worry about filling their stomachs. “

Cotton was introduced into China from the period of the Northern and Southern Dynasties, the Song and Yuan dynasties began to spread the seeds, in the early Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang forced a large number of planting, in the past two years, the textile industry has risen, cotton planting is more extensive, cotton and sweet potato interplanting in some places, the results are good.

Zhu Di nodded when he heard it.

After a short stop in Puzikou, Zhu Di went all the way north, and the car traveled hundreds of miles a day on the gallop road, and after two or three days of hard work, he arrived at the end of the gallop road.

The concrete road was covered with grass and washed on the road with rubber pipes connected to the water.

Zhu Di was puzzled, and stepped forward to talk to the middle-aged man in charge of sprinkling, "Fellow, what are you doing with sprinkling?" ”

The middle-aged man was wearing a straw hat, short clothes and trousers, holding a water pipe in his hand, sprinkling water while saying, "When this cement first began to solidify, if it was too dry and did not solidify well, the road surface would be easy to crack." ”

He looked up, tanned, and smiled, revealing a mouthful of big white teeth, "Where are you from?" No wonder you haven't seen us on this road, so it's easy to walk, right? ”

"Let's go!" Zhu Di nodded and praised, "Your road is really well built, I came from over there, and I saw this road you built all the way, it's really easy to walk." ”

The man smiled, "It's also being repaired ahead, you go over, and you can walk on the concrete road again after walking a short distance on the dirt road." ”

The man pointed to the front, and then walked forward, and went to water the road ahead, and it was evident that the man was very enthusiastic about doing things.

This is not the same as serving in the conscription before, Zhu Di followed a few steps forward and asked, "How much salary can you get this day?" ”

"Three meals a day, the salary is calculated separately, fifty yuan a day." The man saw that Zhu Di was very interested, so he said happily, "I can't do much on this day, and I can still earn fifty Wen, the family has divided two acres of land at the beginning of the old year, and I have been helping others to plant in the past, and this year I finally have my own land, and my mother-in-law is leading the baby at home, even if I don't farm, the money I earn is enough to eat." ”

Zhu Di liked to listen to this, followed along, and asked, "How many babies does my brother have?" ”

"Three, a small one was added to this spring, a son on the top, a girl, this is another child, whatever, such a hard day has come, and now the days are getting more and more prosperous, and I am not afraid to add two more."

"How big is it?"

"The eldest is a son, he is six years old this year, the baby and his mother said that he would send him to school, I said go on, go on, don't learn a few words, no, now I go to school, I can still earn a few dollars this day, and the baby can go to school if he wants." He smiled embarrassedly and said, "The baby said that he wanted to drive a tractor for the public in the future." ”

It's like a proud thing to say.

Zhu Di also felt very proud, nodded and praised, "In the future, if there are more tractors, they will definitely have to be driven, how much money does it cost to go to school?" ”

"We are ordinary people, not official gentry, what kind of money do we spend?" The man smiled contentedly, "Brother, look at you dressed as an official gentleman, right?" Your baby needs money to study, but we don't want it. It is said that our emperor is the same as Emperor Taizu, and he is the emperor of our people. “

Zhu Di was stunned for a moment, and said with a smile, "No, this is not fair, my baby goes to school, and it is not enough to spend money, so I have to donate land." ”

"Hehe, then there's no way, what's unfair? Fair enough! ”

It seems that the Tao is out of sync, as soon as this person heard Zhu Di's words, he didn't want to talk to Zhu Di anymore, turned his back, and watered wholeheartedly.

"Green Sword Fairy"

When Xu saw this scene, he covered his mouth and smiled. Zhu Di smiled, shook his head, walked over here, and saw that although Zhu Gaoxian didn't dare to laugh, his eyes were full of banter, and he couldn't help but slap him on the head, "You kid, dare to laugh at your father!" ”

"Dad, who told you to speak ill of the emperor today? Doesn't my father know that after the court took the land, it was all distributed to the common people? It's not fair to you to be in front of them! ”

When the man heard this, he turned his head and glared at Zhu Di fiercely, with the meaning of 'If you dare to say bad things about the emperor again, I will not be polite to you'.

Zhu Di hurriedly admitted his mistake, "It's Daddy's wrong, Dad won't say it." ”

Xu Shi couldn't help it, hid her face and smiled, she was really happy, she stepped forward to help Zhu Di with a handkerchief to wipe the sweat on his sideburns, and said, "Master, let's go!" ”

The person in charge of the project here is Liu Jun, the waiter of the Ministry of Engineering, and the person who provides technical support is Chao Mianzhi, the two heard that Zhu Di is coming, and they are busy coming to salute, Zhu Di waved his hand to stop, stepped forward, and the two of them saluted the elders.

"Just call my dad Master Xu!" Zhu Gaoxian said in a low voice.

"Master Xu, please come here!" Chao Mianzhi was a little brighter, and hurriedly invited Zhu Di to go to the side where they lived temporarily, and introduced all the way, "Ding Xi is also building a road in front, and it will be connected to this side soon." “

Dingxi is a salt field under the Lianghuai Salt Transportation Division, and many salt merchants donate a lot of money to build roads here, one is to buy an admission qualification to enter the Ming Imperial Academy in the future, and then the fourth highness is about to go to sea, buy a qualification to go to sea.

Waiting into Dingxi, sure enough, on the gallop road again, not far away, it is a dirt road that has been widened, along the road you can see the people doing things, as well as a variety of special machines out of the main force, the construction site is in full swing.

At that time, Zhu Di walked for three years from the Jingnan Uprising in Beijing to Yingtianfu, this time, from Yingtianfu to Beijing, he only walked less than a month, all the way, Zhu Di was in a complicated mood, when he went out of Dezhou and arrived in Wuyi, it was a dark asphalt road.

The car is much more comfortable on asphalt than on a concrete road.

Zhu Di couldn't help asking, "Why is the road over Tianfu not like this?" ”

Zhu Gaoxian said, "Dad, I said, it's still a problem of resources, there is no coal over there, and the oil reserves are pitiful." The asphalt is the residue of petroleum refining and is processed to pave roads. There are very few of these industrial resources in the south, which is why my son can't develop there at the moment. ”
