The day after Zhu Yuanzhang and Liu Bowen finished talking, five large truckloads of quicklime and iron ore, and more than 20 craftsmen were taken to Yangzhou by Tu Zhe.

Four days later, Empress Ma and Zhu Yan got the documents for opening the palace and the approval of the Royal Cement Factory.

However, due to the lack of cement and red bricks, logging and sand mining are too laborious......

Therefore, the construction of Xiaowu Wangfu can only be temporarily stranded, but the cement plant is immediately started.

Zhu Yan chose the site of the factory on Shugang Ling, four or five miles west of the city, where the natural clay layer is abundant......

Not only is it enough for the cement plant, but it can also be supplied to the brick kiln to prevent over-exploitation of the river.

Finally, in addition to farmland and city streets, Yangzhou's official roads are also on the right track, and the progress is so fast that the first two are left behind in the blink of an eye.

A month goes by in the blink of an eye.

With the full cooperation of Zhu Yan, Yang Xian, Lu Mingyi, Xu Zhixian and other large and small officials and people, after molding, stone paving, grouting, ground leveling, and curing and air drying......

Outside the south gate of Yangzhou City, to Guangling Station, down to Yizhen Station, this section of eighty miles of official road, has been a new look, not only has the surface of the smooth gray cement road, but also transplanted a lot of poplars on both sides.

On March 25, the sky was clear.

Before the hour, from the south gate of Yangzhou City to Guanglingyi and other places, there were many local and foreign people, officials, and soldiers gathered before and after, and everyone was talking about it and waiting eagerly.

The south gate is also on the tall and brilliant city gate building that was repaired at the same time not long ago, Tu Zhe is protecting Queen Ma and Chang Qingxue, looking at the official road.

At their feet, a long line of cannons hung on each side of the gatehouse, which hung down to the root of the gate, and trembled like red fruit.

At the city gate, Zhu Yan and Yang Xian, as well as the subordinate county officials, were surrounded in the crowd, and these two minds were making speeches one after another.

——Qingguan Road is completed!

In fact, the 80-mile official road was completed six days ago.

But it is not until today that the so-called auspicious day of the zodiac can be counted as a ribbon-cutting pass.

Zhu Yan and Yang Xian finished talking about the future of Yangzhou, especially the prospect of the prosperity of this official road.

Empress Ma also took the position on behalf of His Majesty the Emperor and expressed her blessings to the entire Yangzhou.

The applause was thunderous, and the cheers became a sea.

The ribbon-cutting ceremony officially began.

Zhu Yan and Yang Xian used the incense in their hands to light the artillery next to them.

The sound of "crackling", accompanied by the noise of gongs and drums, a mule and horse with a big red flower made of colored satin on his head and two big bells in front of him made Lu Mingyi lead out of the city gate.

Although he had never been exposed to such a scene, he had undergone a lot of training in the past few days, and although the mule and horse were still shaking their heads a little uneasily, they were not too frightened to walk.

Mules and horses pass through the goods, and the ribbon-cutting ceremony is used to carry the goods on the back to take the official road to open the light, symbolizing the economy and taxes of Yangzhou City, and will embark on a smooth road and thriving.

This was proposed by Lu Mingyi and some merchants in Yangzhou.

The mule and horse were led to Zhu Yan, Yang Xian and other princely officials, and after being rubbed by them one by one, they had to be personally led by the first and second leaders of Yangzhou, and walked to the head of Yizhenyi, and then turned back the same way.

At this juncture, the problem arises.

Seeing that the mule and horse were still a little restless, Yang Xian swallowed his saliva, subconsciously shrank back, and didn't dare to take the reins: "This!" Rajah. Or do you come first? This house, this house is really a little frightened......"

"Look at you!" Zhu Yan pursed his lips at the moment and said in disgust. "Who is Yangzhou's official parent? There are so many pairs of eyes looking at it, and there are a lot of foreigners in it. What do you make them think of you? ”

Lu Mingyi and Xu Zhixian were also busy with your persuasion: "That's it!" Fuzun. This mule and horse are very tame, you can rest assured that you can lead it boldly, and there will be no problems! ”

Tame? Yang Xian squinted at Xu Zhixian's slightly swollen left shoulder, and secretly hated, "I believe you are a ghost."

Didn't you say the same thing when Lao Xu brought the mules and horses?

As a result, what about helping it train not to be frightened by artillery battles......

It's not that I was kicked in the shoulder, and I couldn't get out of bed for two or three days.

Sensing Lord Fuzun's gaze, Xu Zhixian covered his face and left shoulder with his right sleeve, and coughed a few times in embarrassment.

Seeing this, Zhu Yan said angrily: "Hey! Lao Yang. Do you think this king doesn't exist? It was tamed by the king before. Could it be that this king can let it harm people again? ”

"Yes, yes! Fuzun and the prince walked together. When you go, you lead, and when you return, the prince pulls! With the prince here, nothing will happen. Lu Mingyi persuaded bitterly.

Yang Xian was stunned, finally suppressed his fear, reached out to take the reins, he tried to take a few steps, realized that the mule and horse were really not dangerous, and then strode forward.

So, Zhu Yan and Yang Xian left the crowd together in a whisper around them and walked slowly on the cement official road.

This is the first time in Yang Xian's life that he has stepped on such a smooth and thick road. He felt that only the white marble steps of the imperial city could override this road.

Ordinary bluestone pavement, the unevenness of potholes, there is no comparison......

Such a road, not to mention pulling the goods, is naturally much smoother!

Xiao Wu Wang is so talented, it is really admirable and terrifying?

Zhu Yan doesn't need to see it clearly, this cement official road has caused many feelings of Yang Xian beside him.

He didn't have much thought at this time, he was a human being in two lives, and he didn't walk much in his previous life?

However.

He really couldn't help but scold his old man and Liu Bowen in his heart......

Do you think too much and your heart is too dark?

actually ate old vinegar and refused to look at Kun and Wanguo Tu. One only suggests that the authority to approve cement repairs to the official road.

NND? It seems that this king has to study how to make steel in ancient times as soon as possible......

You can even make high-strength steel bars to hit you ancients in the face!

As for building a big ship, Zhu Yan didn't dare to think about it.

In his limited cognition, he really didn't think that the iron pimple giant ships in later generations could be more powerful than today's wooden warships.

Zhu Yan witnessed the Battle of Poyang Lake with his own eyes, and the scene that shook the world felt that it was really not inferior to any sea battle in the last generation of Manchukuo in later generations.

Just as Zhu Yan was about to walk to Yizhen Station with Yang Xian, they just had such an association, and they saw an unusually handsome monk in a black robe coming to them.

The monk looked to be no more than thirty-five years old, with a leisurely gait and a muttering phrase in his mouth.

"There is no vulgar rhyme, and sex loves hills and mountains.

fell into the dust net by mistake and went for thirty years.

The birds love the old forest, and the pond fish thinks about the old place.

Open up the wilderness in the south and return to the garden......"

The monk sang Tao Yuanming's poems like this, and stood in front of Zhu Yan: "Amitabha! The little monk Dao Yan has seen His Royal Highness King Xiao Wu......"

PS: Ask for some recommendation votes, dear! Didn't change it last night, well, the blood pick-up went!
