Chapter 288: Grandpa, why is it winter, my father and mother are still fighting mosquitoes in the room.

"Brothers!"

"Hey!"

"Work hard!"

"Hey young!"

"Let's eat after pulling this car!"

"Hey!"

"What's for lunch!"

"Canned meat!"

"And the big steamed buns for nothing!"

“…………”

Next to the Jinan Fu Railway Station, tens of thousands of people are working.

The workers shouted the trumpet, and under the command of the craftsmen, they pulled the stones loaded on the sleigh to the designated position.

The weather was very cold, dripping into ice, but the workers were in full swing.

Especially not far away, the smoke from the kitchen and the smell of the stove stimulated their enthusiasm.

This year's snow in Shandong is a little later than in previous years.

On the eighteenth day of the lunar month, heavy snow fell, and the territory of Shandong was clothed in silver overnight.

In the past, when the mountains were covered by heavy snow, the people would stay at home, relying on firewood for warmth, and the family would huddle together, covered with shabby quilts, and struggle to survive the harsh winter.

But this year is different.

There was no food or drink left at home, and if they did not participate in the work organized by the imperial court, the whole family would starve.

Although the imperial court has basic relief food, it is distributed according to the population, and it can only guarantee that it will not starve to death, and if you want to feed the old family, you can only work in the cold winter.

And more importantly, participating in the work of the imperial court, the imperial court manages three meals a day, not only does it take care of the full, but also has a meat meal at noon.

In this way, the young and strong construction site can eat and save a lot of food at home.

The main work of this cash-for-work project is to level the land of Shandong, and the future railway trunk lines and transportation arteries.

Now that the imperial cement factory has been officially put into production, there is a lot of output from the factory in addition to the train to it.

After Zhu Zhangui's planning, the construction of cement roads began in Shandong, and at the same time, the train tracks should run through the entire Shandong.

In Zhu Zhangui's plan, the future train track of Daming will have a tic-tac-toe trunk line.

Vertically to the south of Guangdong Chaozhou Mansion, north to the bank of the Yinma River, if you want to build north in the future, you can continue to lengthen.

The main purpose of this railway route is to allow the imperial court's troops to quickly invest in the north and south to deal with all kinds of accidents.

As long as this railway line continues, the transportation and logistical supply of the army will be greatly strengthened in the future.

Moreover, due to the short transportation time, a large amount of logistics and food will not be consumed on the road, which greatly saves the expenses of the imperial court.

The tic-tac-toe vertical line on the other side starts from the Wolf Juxu Mountain, and repairs horizontally to the south, as for how far it can be repaired, it depends on the ability of the Ming craftsman battalion.

The reason why I say this is because most of this horizontal railway is in a mountainous and forested area, and the difficulty of building it is increased exponentially.

The tic-tac-toe-shaped upward horizontal route starts from Turpan, passes through the land of Shanxi in Shaanxi, and then reaches Shandong, leading directly to Weihaiwei by the sea.

The reason why this road needs to be built is that a large amount of coal is needed after the train is opened, and there is coal in Shanxi, and there is a train track, which can facilitate the transportation of coal to all parts of Daming.

And this road is the last support line of the Ming Dynasty, the north is a Great Wall checkpoint, once the grassland can not be held, this will be the last resistance position of the Ming Dynasty.

If a train track is built here, it will be much more convenient for the Ming army to enter combat in the future.

The following is from Fujian, horizontally leading to the plateau, completely connecting the east and west of the Ming Dynasty.

With this tic-tac-toe route, the entire Ming Dynasty will be completely under the control of the imperial court.

If there is chaos in any place, and the imperial court wants to send troops to suppress it, it can be reached in a few days.

This tic-tac-toe route will be the foundation of Daming's town in the future.

With this route, no matter where there is an accident in the north, south, west and east, the imperial court can quickly grasp and control it.

In addition to railways, cement, asphalt roads, and even highways are also in Zhu Zhangui's plans.

However, now that Daming has not exploited oil, and the asphalt is not there for the time being, Zhu Zhangui decided to lay a cement road first, and the first pilot he chose was Shandong.

Shandong has been a battleground for soldiers since ancient times, and with a very convenient road, the imperial court will control it more strictly.

Moreover, in the future, the central force of the imperial court will move northward, and if the land of Shandong can be developed, it will also be of great benefit to the imperial court.

After all, isn't there a saying that is good, if you want to get rich, you must first build roads, you have no roads, things can't be transported, and you can't get rich if you want to be rich.

In addition, Shandong is close to the sea, and many seafood products that could not be transported to the inland can also be quickly put into the mainland market.

In this way, Shandong can also rely on the seafood economy to slowly recover from natural disasters.

There are also various agricultural product industries, and Zhu Zhangui will also send agricultural experts from the craftsman battalion to various parts of Shandong next year to sign contracts and guide the local people in planting.

With the two-way development of seafood agriculture, Zhu Zhangui does not believe that within 10 years, Shandong will not be able to recover.

However, Zhu Zhangui regretted that because it was winter and it was the time when heavy snow closed the mountains, it was not the best choice to build the road now.

But it is not a matter for so many victims to just let them have enough to eat, and not to do anything.

Once people are full, they will think about some messy things in their minds, and at the same time, people's hearts are also the most empty time.

If at this time, the White Lotus Sect, which had just been suppressed a little, would do things again, then it would be a big trouble.

Therefore, for the sake of the imperial court and the victims, Zhu Zhangui asked the victims to level the roads first, transport stones, sand and other necessary items to various places, and wait for the spring of next year to start planting, and then officially start the road construction.

Zhu Zhangui's plan is to build a connected cement road between several prefectures and cities in Shandong next year to ensure that the imperial court will control several large cities first.

Then the counties below are connected together according to the main roads of the prefecture and city.

When the road is smooth, all aspects of business will slowly develop, and even if Shandong encounters difficulties in the future, it can rely on itself and slowly get through.

"Woooooo

The sound of the train's whistle woke Zhu Zhangui's train of thought, and he took back the busy construction site looking at the distance, wrapped his cloak, and boarded the southbound train.

Since the opening of the train, the old man has accelerated the process of moving the capital.

Before there was no train, the relocation of various departments of the imperial court had to be carried by horse-drawn people, and more importantly, the road was not easy to walk, and it was better on sunny days.

But now it's different, with the train, it's very convenient in every way.

Zhu Zhangui heard that all departments almost did it in order to grab a place on the train and load things from their own departments.

Xia Yuanji, an old goods, used finance as a threat and forcibly occupied 1/3 of the carriage.

In this regard, although everyone is a little unhappy, they can also understand it in their hearts, after all, the household department is the most important of all departments.

After half a month, the train has been running day and night, and the various departments of the imperial court have almost moved, and the Beiping side has begun to slowly take over the command of the Jinling side.

However, in order to prevent the turmoil caused by the relocation of the capital, the old man still let Zhu Fatpang stay in Jinling temporarily, and gave Zhu Fatpang the right to the emperor.

In order to let his fat son not think about it and take over the command with peace of mind, the old man also spoke very intimately.

He will retire after one year next year, and you will be the year after tomorrow to be the throne, anyway, it's all yours, just one name away, and you should adapt to it if you take over early.

Poor Zhu Chubby, who was so painful and happy, was left in Jinling by the old man, accompanied by a group of old guys, and took over the rest of the matter.

But fortunately, there is a big festival this year, the old man didn't plan to celebrate the New Year in the north, he set off from Beiping yesterday, and the ministers who had just moved in the past returned to Jinling with their buttocks and not yet sat hot.

"His Royal Highness!"

Zhu Zhangui had just boarded the train, and the little snot waiting at the door hurriedly greeted him.

"Grandpa didn't rest!"

Zhu Zhangui greeted him with a smile, and asked the old man if he had time now.

"The emperor has just woken up from a sleep, and he is waiting for you inside!"

"The princesses are also inside."

Xiao Snot glanced at it, and Hu Yu, who officially commanded the escort battalion to carry a stack of files, replied with a smile, and at the same time reached out and opened the door behind him.

As soon as the carriage door opened, the joyful sound of the little ones and the hearty laughter of the old man came from inside.

"Daddy!"

As soon as Zhu Zhangui walked into the carriage, Zhu Miaoyan, who was reading a book under the supervision of his mother, rushed up with a cheer, threw away the book in her hand that made her sleepy, and threw herself into Zhu Zhangui's arms.

"Haha, my little padded jacket, do you miss Daddy?"

Picking up his daughter, whom he hadn't seen for a long time, Zhu Zhangui laughed and kissed his hot red little face.

"Mm-hmm, it's conceivable!"

The little guy was also very excited, hugging Zhu Zhangui's neck tightly and nodding his little head hard.

"Daddy!"

Before Zhu Zhangui stepped up, a little guy with a tiger head and a tiger brain, when he saw Zhu Zhangui walking in, the little tiger's eyes glared excitedly, rushed up with a roar, hugged Zhu Zhangui's thigh, and howled.

At the same time, Xiaopang pointed to his mother Hu Shanxiang, who was staring at him, as if complaining to Zhu Zhangui.

"Dad, my mother makes me study every day, it's annoying to me, I don't want to study, I want to learn to ride a horse and fight like you, and I want to be a general when I grow up."

Zhu Zhangui, who was stumbled by the little tiger head and almost fell, reluctantly put his eldest daughter down and reached out to lift the little tiger head.

"You bastard, you dare to sue your mother, I haven't asked you to beat Qi Zhen yet!"

The little tiger head was not afraid, and snorted: "If he doesn't listen to me, I'm going to beat him, I'm his brother, he has to do whatever I tell him to do, and if he doesn't listen, I'll beat him." ”

Zhu Zhangui was angry and funny, and slapped the little tiger head buttocks hard.

Then he stepped forward and picked up Zhu Qizhen, who was hiding behind his mother and was secretly watching him.

"In the future, if your brother bullies you again, you will beat him, and you are not allowed to cry anymore, you know, you are a man, you must have the blood of a man, and our Zhu family can't have lazy fortunes."

When the little guy heard his father's words, he nodded vigorously, and rushed at Zhu Qiyu, who was behind Zhu Zhangui, grinning at him, and waved his small fist, looking like I am not afraid that if you dare to bully me again, I will beat you.

"Hahaha..."

The old man, who was watching the father and son fighting on the side, couldn't help but think of his three sons when they were young, and laughed happily.

"Grandpa, these little guys didn't disturb your rest!"

Letting go of the third boy, Zhu Zhangui picked up the second and third daughters, who were a little shy, and said hello to the old man.

"No, no, I'm not tired, I'm very happy to have these little guys with me!"

The old man smiled and took the two little great-granddaughters, picked up the snacks on the table, and handed one by one.

The grandfather and grandson didn't talk about Shandong, but talked about family life and the future education of several children.

Shandong's affairs, the old man handed over to Zhu Zhangui, and he didn't think about it anymore.

He is old and has been sheltering the children from the wind and rain all his life, and it is time for the children to break through on their own.

"Okay, I heard that you didn't sleep all night last night, and you've been busy, you don't have to accompany me anymore, just have these little guys by my side, you go to the carriage to rest."

The grandfather and grandson chatted for a while, and the old man saw the tiredness between Zhu Zhangui's eyebrows, and waved his hand a little distressed, so he asked Zhu Zhangui to rest first.

Zhu Zhangui was indeed a little sleepy, and after explaining that a few little guys were not allowed to be naughty, he gave his wife Zhao Linger a look, and walked to the rest room next door with a slightly red face.

Zhao Ling'er glanced at it secretly, as if the old man who didn't see the small movements of the two, gave the other sisters a look, and a few people quietly went to the next room.

"Grandpa, my mother and they are all gone, are they going to steal something delicious!"

Zhu Qiyu, who was biting his fingers and frowning to learn to play chess with the old man, left his father and mother gone, suspecting that his father had brought something delicious to his mother, and asked the old man angrily if it was true.

"Ahem..."

The old man, who dealt with a few chessboards alone, coughed a few times when he heard this, glanced at the door of the closed rest room next door, and spoke seriously to a few curious little guys.

"There are mosquitoes in that room, your father is very tired these days and needs to rest, but there are mosquitoes noisy, and your father can't sleep, so your mother will go to help fight mosquitoes."

A few of the little ones nodded abruptly when they heard this.

Zhu Qizhen thought of the scene where his mother helped him catch mosquitoes in the summer, and said very seriously.

"Grandpa is right, I used to have a lot of mosquitoes when I was sleeping, and my mother used a fan to help me catch them."

"But grandpa, but I also heard my mother say that there will be no mosquitoes when it snows, you said that when it is cold, mosquitoes go back to the nest to sleep, and they will only come out when spring comes! Then why did Daddy let them go to catch mosquitoes? ”

"This..."

The old man opened his mouth, not knowing how to explain the question.

"It's really mosquito fighting, I hear a popping sound over there!"

Just when the old man was thinking about how to explain, Zhu Miaoyan, who has always had very sensitive ears, suddenly turned her ear sideways and excitedly told a few people about the voice she heard.

When the little ones heard this, they jumped up one after another, shouting that they would also go over to help his father catch mosquitoes.

The old man still wanted to hug a few more great-grandchildren, but he couldn't let these little guys disturb him, so he hurriedly stood up and stopped a few little guys.

"Ahem... What kind of little cubs, let's leave them alone, continue to play chess, grandpa has pondered a novel routine in the past two days, I will teach you, go back to you and play with your grandfather, and let your grandfather lose hard when the time comes! ”

After the coaxing of the old man and the little snot, a few little guys sat back on the chessboard, frowning and playing chess with the old man.

In order to prevent the little guy from hearing things that he shouldn't hear, the old man also asked the musicians accompanying him to play soft music to cover up some inappropriate sounds for children.

After more than half a month of running-in, the speed can already be driven to the maximum.

After a day and a night of travel, the train arrived at Jinling safely.

The old man didn't let people greet him, and returned to the palace in a low-key manner.

When he was at the gate of the palace, Zhu Zhangui first asked several daughters-in-law to take the children back, and he accompanied the old man to the study.

"The day after tomorrow will be held, are you planning to make trouble at that time?"

On the way to Shang Shufang, the old man looked at the scenery of the palace around him who didn't know how many times he had seen, and asked Zhu Zhangui, who was helping him to walk forward.

Zhu Zhangui, who was helping the old man to walk forward, nodded and replied: "The big festival will be held in a few days, I don't think grandpa Tai wants to see those dirty crumbs, it's better to clean them up as soon as possible, everyone can have a peaceful New Year." ”

"Hehe, Ansheng Year, since the day I became the emperor, our family has not had an Ansheng Year!"

The old man chuckled lightly and said nothing more about it.

Since Sun Tzu has made a decision, it means that there is absolute evidence that those people deserve to die.

He had already made a decision in his heart, no matter who it was tomorrow, as long as the evidence was conclusive, he would immediately deal with it seriously.

The old man now deeply understands Lao Zhu's determination to pave the way for Zhu Yunwen back then.

Now, like his father, he is silently paving the way for his grandson.

As for the son, well, that little fat man is too kind-hearted to do such a thing, if it is not solved as soon as possible, it will be difficult to end until the time when the grandson drags on.

So it's still the same sentence, his Zhu Di's children and grandchildren are all good people, and the notoriety of this murderous tyrant should be borne by him, an old man.

ps: I'm already a little uncomfortable, and now I've just gotten off work, and I'm going to go back to test it, but I hope I won't win the bid?

I'm really a little uneasy, and I don't have any ideas, so I'll only write so much for the time being, if I win the bid at home, and when my health is better, write a little more to compensate everyone.
