Cement......

Today's Da Ming, except for Zhu Yan, no one understands. And there is no physical object, and he can only give a brief explanation.

"Cement is a mixture of soil, which has a convenient and durable effect on building bridges, paving roads, and even building houses!"

But seeing that the three of them were still confused, Zhu Yan couldn't help but smile bitterly: "Actually, I can do a small experiment to let you see a more intuitive effect......

"I have all three ingredients for this thing. It's just that I haven't had the right utensils to do it! Now, mother, you are here, you should be able to help me. He looked at his mother expectantly.

Queen Ma raised her eyebrows and expressed her support with interest: "You say! How can you help you? ”

"I need a cookware with no impurities and good sealing for stir-frying raw ingredients, not too big for the time being."

"You've been eyeing the copper cup that your mother used to make soup." Queen Ma smiled slyly.

Zhu Yan said solemnly: "How dare you? I really hadn't thought about it. ”

"That's it! Just send it to you. Queen Ma glanced at Chang Qingxue at the same time, and called Tu Zhe in.

She told him to go outside and dig out the brass cup from the box of cooking utensils in the carriage.

After a while, Tu Zhe nervously came to report: "Go back to Niangniang!" There was no brass cup in box No. 2, and when I checked the list, I found it not listed. ”

"Hmm. How is this? Queen Ma frowned, only then did she remember, and said apologetically. Oooh! Hongu remembered. Before leaving, Chang's mother mentioned an ear ......"

"Speaking of brass cups, I'm afraid I can't accompany them this time. It must have been your daddy who took it! He likes to get some duck blood soup to eat in private, and he is afraid that the ministers will say that he will not be able to improve the grade. ”

"Maybe it's the boss or the sixth? They love to play with your cup, too. Anyway, the Shangshi Bureau has no defense against our Zhu family! Zhu Yan chuckled lightly, excusing his father.

Queen Ma immediately pouted at him, meaning obviously that she didn't even believe what your kid said. If it was really the eldest and the sixth who took it, it would be strange if Chang's mother dared not to pay over their things.

Without saying a word, Zhu Yan smiled and quickly filled two freshly baked cakes, blowing and holding them in front of his mother.

"Silly boy! Beware of hot ......"

Queen Ma was both moved and distressed.

Chang Qingxue hurriedly ran forward and took over. Although she has been a practitioner since she was a child and has not learned much etiquette, she knows how to grasp the balance very well.

She knew that Zhu Yan wanted to show filial piety, and she must not rush it, but she couldn't really ask a man to hold a plate of hot baked cakes all the time.

Queen Ma also took pity on her daughter-in-law: "Let it go first." Girl! Go and let Chang's mother bring a bowl of soup for her mother first......"

Chang Qingxue turned around and walked out, and soon, there was a cordial whisper outside the tent.

Zhu Yan knew that Chang's mother was a lonely old man taken in by her daughter-in-law's house, and because she was neat, exquisite, and few words, she was given to her mother by the Lan family, and she served her all year round.

Strictly speaking, the first four brothers of his Zhu family and Chang Qingxue were all delivered by Chang's mother.

After a while, after eating the cake and soup, Queen Ma said leisurely: "That's fine." Tu Zhe! This palace writes a letter, and you take it to Your Majesty. I took the copper cup and the opening documents and came back......"

"Do the Holy Commandment!"

"But you have to go and get back quickly. Is five days enough? ”

"Don't dare to make a mistake!" Tu Zhe bowed down again and responded sonorously.

Zhu Yan and he both understood that Yangzhou and Yingtianfu were more than 200 miles apart, but they were not far away.

If you are a solo fast horse, you can have a round trip in one day and one night!

The reason why the emperor's northern tour and Liu Bowen's visit took five or six days at every turn......

Because they had to take a detour by land when they came, and there were many people with them, they couldn't go fast at all. The second is to rely on walking, and there is also the heart to investigate the people's conditions along the way.

Queen Ma gave five days, although it was in advance that Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhongshu Province would approve the opening documents of King Xiao Wu, but it was really sufficient.

This can be regarded as a kind of sympathetic approach to subordinates.

Unless someone in the Chinese Book Province deliberately made it difficult and pressed the documents to protest.

However, it didn't take long for Zhu Yan to understand in the exchange with Queen Ma......

Why did my mother pay for the opening of a house for herself at this time?

First of all, of course, he wants to compensate him, and secondly, he has seen this bone eye, even if the officials have opinions, they don't dare to let it go.

It turns out that the old man just killed a speech official for me!

I was also worried about traveling to Guazhou and losing my life, so I drew a map of the world in the Ming Dynasty in advance......

Kunyu Wanguo Map!

There are also two reasons why Zhu Yan drew this map and tried to hand it over to Liu Bowen.

First, he was able to save his and Liu Bowen's lives at a critical moment. The second is to give his old man a bombshell.

…… Let him break the idea of forbidden sea!

Let the old man know that there are not only small countries in the Western Regions and the East in the world, but also the Americas, Europe, and the five oceans.

Expanding the territory is irresistible to every king!

Tu Zhe properly collected the letter from the queen, and left Yangzhou City on a fast horse.

Next, Zhu Yan still took Queen Ma to walk around, and by the way, he also took a look around Shao Bo Lake, where the palace was located.

Although there is no wonder of the mountains here, the lake is vast and endless, and the willows are still beautiful.

Overlooking the lake, the smoke and waves are rippling, the scales are racing, and the fish and sails are racing. From time to time, wild ducks swim by, which is even more leisurely.

Boating on the water, in this secluded place, how many worries Ren Er has, will be scattered with the wind, and people will suddenly feel relaxed and happy.

It is no wonder that in the later Chenghua years, Lin Guang would make poems and praises......

The wind pressure clouds and sails are slanted, and the stars are scattered by the lake.

The smoke contains willow eyes, and the spring is still shallow, and the gull bathes in the water is not credited.

When the crab is returned, the crow is seen in the low sunset.

The poem wants to be recited by no one, and a few flowers are picked off the boat lamp.

Pity.

Queen Ma and Zhu Yan, the mother and son who have reunited after a long absence, even if they swim in the lake together, they don't have much to say.

On the contrary, Chang Qingxue and her future mother-in-law, as if they had endless words, always bit their ears from time to time and let out a crisp laugh of pearls and jade.

After a night, Tu Zhe unexpectedly appeared in front of everyone again. He even brought a message from His Majesty that made people laugh and cry for Zhu Yan and the others.

Your Majesty said. Queen, you mother-in-law will come to you as soon as you pass! Take the copper cup, and we'll wash it for you. As for the second child to open a mansion......"

"Didn't he say that he was going to do some kind of experiment, to get cement to build bridges and pave roads, fast and durable? You guys come out, let us take a look, everything is easy to say! ”

Zhu Yan looked at his mother, and then at Chang Qingxue, couldn't help grinning, and said helplessly: "It seems that about people's livelihood and construction, it is absolutely impossible to hide it from His Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty!" ”
