On the opening day of the restaurant, early in the morning, many people from the capital came to the hot spring villa.

Because some situations that may arise in the hot spring villa have long been planned, even if there are many cars and horses coming from the capital, Huo Junyao also has a special place to park.

It doesn't seem crowded at all, and many people who come to the hot spring resort for the first time feel that their eyes are bright when they see such an arrangement.

Especially when I got off the carriage and looked at the clean and smooth concrete floor around me, it was even more strange.

And some people who have already been here have the opportunity to show their faces, and they are vigorously pointing out all kinds of novelties and companions in the hot spring villa.

There was no court meeting today, and because he knew that Huo Junyao's restaurant was opening today, Emperor Zhaowu began to prepare yesterday.

No, he directly brought the queen with Huo Jingzhi's father and son, as well as Yongning Hou and his wife, and a little radish head.

"Speaking of which, it's the first time I've come here after the renovation of the Hot Spring Villa, not to mention that this girl is doing pretty well here."

After coming down from the official road, the road was smooth and wide, and the carriage was not bumpy at all, which made Emperor Zhaowu very satisfied with the cement road.

"Respectfully, this cement road is a good thing, see if it can be promoted nationwide?"

Hearing this, Huo Jingzhi shook his head and said; "The cement road is naturally good, but if you want to promote it nationwide, I'm afraid it won't work."

He had seen cement or something for a long time, and he was also very optimistic about this thing.

Once he also wanted to write to Emperor Zhaowu, but then he thought about it, with the poor strength of the Yu Dynasty, even if this thing is good, I am afraid that it will not be able to be promoted.

At least not yet.

Just kidding, how vast is the territory of a country? As far as the roads they use now in the Yu Dynasty are still left by the previous dynasty and the imperial dynasty a long time ago, they have long been rotten.

Don't talk about it far away, let's just say that the capital, in addition to the road to the main gate, the imperial court will also take care of the face to repair it, and several other places have not been repaired at all, especially in Wannian County, when it rains, it is called a muddy.

He had calculated earlier that just repairing the roads around the capital and using cement would cost more than 100,000 yuan.

This is just the capital, although other places do not have to be all repaired, but it is definitely not a small project, just the most preliminary budget, then it will cost six or seven million yuan.

With such a huge amount of money, how can the Yu Dynasty afford it?

Don't look at the tax revenue of the Yu Dynasty in recent years, but as soon as the money arrives in the treasury, it will immediately be applied for by the ministries to be transferred.

After all, there are too many places to spend money, and in ordinary times, if there is two or three million yuan of money in the treasury, it is considered rich, and often only about one million yuan is left.

And this is still the emergency funds kept by the household department, and they will not be used when they are idle, especially when some natural disasters are common, if you want to get money from the household department, Chen Hua, the head of the household department, can work hard with you.

"Why not?"

Emperor Zhaowu frowned, and Empress Shen and the others on the side also looked at Huo Jingzhi with some curiosity.

This cement road is a good thing, if it is promoted, there are many benefits in it, especially in the imperial court in terms of marching, supply, and disaster relief, the speed will be much faster.

"The minister has calculated according to the market price of cement and the consumption required for a section of the road."

"Don't talk about it, let's just say that this part of the capital, if it is all replaced with cement roads, it will have to be hundreds of thousands, and it will be promoted nationwide, I am afraid that there is no way to do it without six or seven million runs, which is still the most basic."

Hearing this number, Emperor Zhaowu and the others were a little smacked, and Emperor Zhaowu touched his nose with some embarrassment.

Obediently, six or seven million times, this is really unaffordable.

"So much?"

Empress Shen was also surprised by this number.

"Is the price of this cement very high?"

"It's not a high price, it's even cheap, but it's too much."

Then Huo Jingzhi said what he understood.

"And, Your Majesty, do you think this cement road is hard?"

The two people who were named all nodded their heads again and again, just a short moment ago, there were a lot of carriages coming and going around them, and there were basically no traces left on the cement road.

"It's hard, it's not much better than a stone."

"Yes, Your Majesty, Niangniang, look at the walls around this hot spring villa."

At this sight, both of them were shocked, the color of the city wall was almost no different from the color of the cement road.

Emperor Zhaowu immediately understood, and asked with his eyes shining; "Can this cement be used to make walls?"

"Yes, after this cement is mixed with water, after the plasticity is solidified, the hardness is the same as that of some stones, and this is free plasticity, which means that whatever shape you want, you only need to have a mold to make what shape."

"The texture is still very hard, and it is very durable, the road under our feet has been done for more than two years, and there is no big repair halfway, Your Majesty, look at how much damage there is to this road?"

A few people looked at it again, and there was really not much damage, you must know that this is still the road, there are people coming and going every day in the hot spring mountain resort, and it can be used so often and for so long.

If this is used to build the city wall, doesn't that mean that the staying power will be longer?

After all, most of the city walls are there quietly, and if there is no war, there are basically not too many problems.

"So, this cement road has been repaired, and then the major cities, especially the city walls of the border towns, don't you have to get it, once you get down, the minister feels that there is no tens of millions, and it won't work at all."

At this point, a few people were speechless, and it is true that this thing is very useful, but the amount required is also very large.

"Having money is only one thing, and whether the output can keep up is another thing, so this matter is in a hurry, and if you want to promote it comprehensively, it is estimated that there will be no ten years to go up, and it will not work at all."

"There's no money to make trouble, I really want to knock Fusang down quickly."

Emperor Zhaowu sighed silently in his heart.

While speaking, the group entered the Hot Spring Villa, passed through the tall city gate, and entered it, but at first sight, Emperor Zhaowu and Empress Shen were shocked again.

They walked through the gate of the commercial district, so this time they entered the commercial street, a cement road of water, spacious and flat, with neat shops on both sides.

Most of them are two-story shops, only some individual shops will be three-storey, and the most eye-catching is naturally the restaurant in Huo Junyao Lane, which is five stories high and covers a very wide area.

On the side of the street alone, it is 50 meters wide, and the gate in the middle is 20 meters wide, and it is still a five-story building.

This was built by Huo Junyao using the concrete method of later generations, which is much stronger than the wooden building.
