In less than a few breaths, Zhu Yuanzhang had already finished the breakfast prepared by Liu Ji.

This is a habit left over from the war.

During the war, no one knows what will happen after a meal.

After all, many sneak attacks are done while the enemy is eating.

So before I knew it, I developed the habit of eating quickly.

Lao Zhu has also maintained this habit until now.

It's okay when you're in the palace, after all, there are all kinds of rules.

Even if Zhu Yuanzhang is the emperor, for the sake of the entire Ming Dynasty, he has to abide by many rules.

After all, if even the emperor takes the lead in disobeying the rules, who in this world will honestly abide by the rules?

However, after leaving the palace, Zhu Yuanzhang's old habits also came back soon.

It's just that when eating, it's not as fierce as before.

Queen Ma helplessly persuaded beside her: "Chongba, you eat slowly, how many times have the imperial doctors said it, your stomach is not good, you have to chew slowly when eating."

Lao Zhu put down his chopsticks with a snap, and said indifferently: "Sister, you don't know, it's been a habit for many years, and I can't change it."

After speaking, he left the room impatiently and went to find Liu Ji.

Lao Zhu now, he doesn't want to delay at all.

I only hope that I can see as soon as possible how the city of Yanjing is running now.

By the time he found Liu Ji, Liu Ji had just eaten a few bites.

After all, it is a traditional Wenchen, no matter what he does, he will be in an orderly manner, and Mount Tai will collapse in front of him without changing his face.

Seeing Zhu Yuanzhang pushing the door in, where should Liu Ji continue to eat, Huang Mang stood up and saluted.

Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand impatiently: "How are you eating, if you finish eating, let's go and order it immediately."

Liu Ji subconsciously looked at the food on the table that had barely moved, and wanted to cry without tears.

It is impossible for Zhu Yuanzhang not to see such an obvious thing. However, His Majesty the Emperor still kept urging.

Obviously, this is a small warning to him.

Although the matter has been explained clearly, Lao Zhu obviously still has a lot of dissatisfaction with him.

Now that he knows the meaning of the big leader, Liu Ji naturally won't go against the biggest leader of the whole Ming Dynasty.

He replied in a very simple whisper, "Your Majesty, the minister has finished eating."

"The coachman has also prepared the carriage, please lead the way in front of Rong Chen."

When he got out of the house and just got into Liu Ji's carriage, Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help but be stunned.

Good fellow, this carriage is completely different from the one he used to make.

Even the seats are soft, giving people the urge to sit down and not want to get up.

When the carriage started, Zhu Yuanzhang could feel more and more that this carriage was different from the previous carriage.

Walking on the road, I didn't feel too many bumps.

"What's going on with this carriage?" The reason why Zhu Yuanzhang asked this was because he could feel that the reason why the carriage was not so bumpy was not because of the soft sofa.

Liu Ji hurriedly explained: "Back to Your Majesty, there are three main reasons why the four-wheeled carriage made by His Royal Highness is so stable."

"Say." Lao Zhu was very interested in what Zhu Han had come up with.

Because no matter what it produces, it is something that will be of great benefit to the country and the people.

Liu Ji secretly rejoiced in his heart, fortunately, when the king of England made the four-wheeled carriage, he was also interested, so he asked in advance.

Otherwise, he doesn't know what the emperor asks......

That's really going to affect your career.

Ahem.

Liu Ji cleared his throat and explained unhurriedly: "Your Majesty, the most important reason why this carriage can be so stable is that His Royal Highness has installed a shock absorption system on the carriage."

Of course, Zhu Yuanzhang knows this thing.

After all, there are similar things on the train.

Lao Zhu's reaction was also expected by Liu Ji. He first said that the most important shock absorption for the carriage itself is naturally because this thing is not a rare thing.

"Two." Liu Ji stretched out two fingers: "According to His Royal Highness, the four-wheeled carriage can be added with a shock absorption system to make the carriage more stable, and it will not be like a two-wheeled carriage, the road surface is a little uneven, which will affect the carriage as a whole."

In fact, Liu Ji only half-understands these things.

However, she is a well-read person and has the ability to never forget.

After hearing these words from Zhu Han once, whether he understands them or not, he can write them down word for word.

It doesn't matter if he doesn't understand, Liu Ji is sure, and Zhu Yuanzhang definitely doesn't understand.

Sure enough, after hearing these things, Zhu Yuanzhang's brows suddenly wrinkled.

However, Lao Zhu didn't ask too much, and he never cared too much about detailed technical issues.

The most important reason why Lao Zhu was able to win the world was that he did not drill the horns.

There are some things that he doesn't understand, and there is no need to understand them, he just needs to know how to use them and what effect they can have.

As for the rest, it's just a minutia.

"What's the other thing?" Zhu Yuanzhang asked.

Liu Ji's expression gradually became serious.

Compared with those technical things, Liu Ji believes that Zhu Yuanzhang will pay more attention to this.

In fact, not only Zhu Yuanzhang, but even he and even Liu Song have now understood the benefits of this.

"Road!" Liu Ji slowly spit out a word.

Although he said this, it seemed to be the same as not saying it, but Liu Ji believed that Zhu Yuanzhang must have understood what he meant.

Pleasing leaders is sometimes a science.

Neither can act too smart and make the leader feel stupid.

This will only make the leader hate himself more and more.

At the same time, you can't act too stupid, if the leader thinks a person is too stupid, of course, he will not give this person anything important to do.

If you don't have results, how can you get promoted and climb up.

So the best thing to do, of course, is to let the leader know that he is a capable person.

But at the same time, in some places, it is just right to make the leader feel that he is a smart person, and in many places he is even inferior to him.

As the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, and ruled for so many years.

Liu Ji believes that it is impossible for Zhu Yuanzhang not to know the importance of the road.

Even a short-lived dynasty like the Sui Dynasty worked hard to build a Grand Canal.

It's just that the path that Zhu Han has made now is very different from the previous road.

Sure enough, Zhu Yuanzhang immediately became stunned.

Slammed his thigh: "I see, road!" It's the reason for the road. ”

"This kind of carriage is good, but it is also quite demanding on the road."

"If you're going to run that kind of potholed dirt road, no matter how good the shock absorption of this carriage is, it's useless."

"Besides, this kind of carriage is too wide, and it will be very difficult to drive on some side roads, let's be right."

Liu Ji immediately put on a look of surprise: "Your Majesty is wise, and you can see the key at once."

"Chen and Liu Song, but it took more than ten days to see the relationship between busy Baixin Road and the four-wheeled carriage."

"In the past, although the ministers also used the cement of His Royal Highness to build roads."

"However, at that time, the cultivation was basically an official road, mainly used to allocate materials from all over the world."

"Although I also think that this kind of cement road is very easy to use, I never thought that the use of this road in people's livelihood would have such an excellent effect."

Hearing Liu Ji say this, Lao Zhu's mood really became much more comfortable: "You shouldn't be deliberately praising these new roads in front of us, right?"

Liu Ji hurriedly shook his head: "Your Majesty, this is definitely not the case."

"For example, for businessmen, if you take a new road in the past, it only takes half a day."

"In other words, goods that could only be delivered once a day can now be delivered twice."

Speaking of this, Liu Ji's face was suddenly full of admiration: "Your Majesty, this is still just ordinary people taking this road." What if it is replaced by the army that transports grain and grass in our imperial court? ”

"I didn't say it, just this Datong disaster relief."

"The teams that use concrete roads and food are all faster than the other teams."

"His Royal Highness often hangs on the very edge of the sentence, if you want to get rich, build roads first."

"The minister didn't really understand it before, but now the minister has completely understood."

"If, all the major cities of our Ming Dynasty use this kind of ...... It is called by His Royal Highness the King, and the road connection of the highway. I will inevitably enter a new era. ”

The corners of Zhu Yuanzhang's mouth couldn't help twitching.

Why does he think that Liu Ji, this guy, is floating so much now?

With that so-called highway, to connect the whole country together?

It's easy to say, the upper lip touches the lower lip, just say it.

But didn't this guy calculate, if he really wants to do it to this extent, how much will the court cost?

This is not to build one or two roads, but to connect all the major cities of the entire Ming Dynasty.

Even if the current Ming Dynasty has the Iwami Silver Mountain on the side of Dongying, there are countless amounts of silver dug up every day, I'm afraid it won't be enough, right?

Compared with Liu Ji's plan to repair the highway across the country.

The Grand Canal of the Sui Dynasty was just a child's home.

Liu Ji used to be quite calm, how could he become such a lavish courtier in just a few days under Zhu Han?

Just looking at Zhu Yuanzhang's face, Liu Ji had already guessed what Zhu Yuanzhang was thinking, and hurriedly explained: "Your Majesty didn't say that he wanted to start doing this with all his strength like the Sui Dynasty."

"This highway is indeed very important to my Ming Dynasty, but we don't need to build all the roads at one time."

"First of all, let's connect the major cities and build a new Daming official road."

"And then take these official roads as the core, and slowly radiate to the surrounding city arrays."

"Moreover, this kind of road, His Royal Highness has also built a lot of roads before, we can use those roads as a basis and expand them outward."

Seeing that Liu Ji was not open-mouthed, but carefully analyzed the pros and cons.

Zhu Yuanzhang's frowning brows stretched out.

It was not because of the question raised by Liu Ji that made Zhu Yuanzhang unhappy.

But Zhu Yuanzhang was secretly glad in his heart that Liu Ji was not directly taken away by Zhu Han.

"I'll have to think about that."

Liu Ji hurriedly nodded: "Your Majesty, although this matter is important, this is a long-term plan."

"Chen thinks that as long as we can do the first step within fifty years, it will already be quite good."

Zhu Yuanzhang was speechless, just now he felt that Liu Ji was calm and dared to look at it, which was very useful.

As a result, I now found that this little one seems to have been a little too cautious.

Outside the carriage window, the streets on both sides were rapidly receding.

Along the way, Zhu Yuanzhang really saw a lot of carriages.

Those carriages are big and small, but none of them can compare to Liu Ji's carriage.

In the past, Zhu Yuanzhang also had to reprimand Liu Ji.

As a courtier of the Ming Dynasty, he was so extravagant and wasteful.

But now, Lao Zhu also knows the reason why Liu Ji and them did this.

Suddenly, a huge carriage flashed in front of Lao Zhu's eyes.

This carriage is even bigger than the one Liu Ji is riding.

It was almost twice as long as Liu Ji's carriage.

It's just that the carriage looks very simple, and you can see the clearly visible wood grain on the wooden planks of the carriage from afar.

In front of the carriage, four horses were pulling the cart.

Even though they are horses, they are all tall and majestic, with shiny hair, and you can tell at a glance that the usual food is absolutely good.

The speed of the carriage was much slower than Liu Ji's carriage, and it was quickly overtaken.

When overtaking, Zhu Yuanzhang could see through the car window that it was densely packed with people.

Even because there were so many people, many had to stand.

When they had overtaken the carriage completely, it came to a halt under a blue iron sign against the side of the road.

Zhu Yuanzhang vaguely heard that the coachman shouted something to the back, and soon many people got out of the car.

But at the same time, there are still many people under the iron plate, who are squeezing into the car.

Zhu Yuanzhang could faintly hear the sound of cursing.

"Bastard, don't squeeze, don't you know?"

"Damn, are you in a hurry to be reincarnated?"

"Bastard, who stepped on my foot!"

Liu Ji's carriage continued to move forward, getting farther and farther away from the huge carriage, and finally no sound could be heard.

"What's that?" Zhu Yuanzhang turned around and asked Liu Jidao.

"Back to Your Majesty, His Royal Highness calls that thing a public carriage."

"Seventy-five again? Does it mean that anyone can sit in a public carriage? ”

Liu Ji immediately said: "Back to Your Majesty, according to the original meaning of His Royal Highness the King, this public carriage can indeed be used by anyone."

"But now, the number of public carriages in Yanjing is still relatively small, and there are only a few routes that can run, so most people can't sit on them."

"But when there are more and more carriages, more and more people will sit on them."

"Lines?" Zhu Yuanzhang was puzzled.

"Yes, Your Majesty, these public carriages, they can only run in fixed places."

"The blue sign Your Majesty just saw is called the station."

"Those who ride the bus must wait here for the arrival of the public carriage, and those who get off the bus can only get off here."
