A slip of the tongue made the two extremely embarrassed, and Jiang Xingchen said "It's not that way" again, which made Xian Ning even more ashamed, stomped his feet angrily, turned his head and ran away.

Jiang Xingchen raised his hand and put it down again. In this case, I really can't eat, how awkward!

In the evening, Mei'er came back and was very surprised to see a large table of dishes, what is the matter, my brother hasn't cooked for a long time! It's only the beginning of June, and it's not yet my birthday.

Mei'er asked puzzled, only then did she understand that it was a major breakthrough in the research of steam locomotives, and she asked happily: "Why don't you call Sister Xianning!"

Jiang Xingchen was speechless, and could only say an excuse that Xian Ning was still busy to fool the past......

Early the next morning, as soon as Jiang Xingchen got up, Grandpa Fu came over and told him the news that the 10,000-mile highway that had been built for more than three years and connected more than a dozen territories and three countries had finally been fully connected.

"Great!" Following yesterday's heavy breakthrough of the steam locomotive, this was another exciting piece of good news, and Jiang Xingchen couldn't hold back the excitement in his heart and cheered. With this road, transportation from the Star Leader to the Cursed Lands will be shortened to less than twenty days. Moreover, in the future, the supply speed of the material supply of the star collar will be greatly accelerated, and the scope will be wider.

Grandpa Fu couldn't stop laughing next to him, and he was even happier in his heart, and he finally didn't have to throw money into it in the future. Carefully calculated, in the past three years, Xingchen Ling has invested at least 400 million citrine coins, which is six percent of the underground construction of the new city.

"Grandpa Fu, did the news say when the road will be officially opened?" Jiang Xingchen asked.

"The letter said that it had been passed yesterday, and Emperor Qiankun also went to Heluo Ling. That's where the last two sections meet!" replied Grandpa Fu.

"The Great Emperor went to Qi Yue to lead?" Jiang Xingchen was a little surprised, he had been in this world for nearly seven years. I have never seen the Emperor travel. However, it can also be seen how much importance the emperor attaches to this path. What a joy at the moment.

It is true that witnessing the completion of the last two road sections, the emperor couldn't stop smiling. The road took more than three years, and the total investment reached a staggering 2.6 billion citrine coins, which was 600 million more than the original budget. In total, more than 2 million laborers were employed in the various territories and the two kingdoms, which played a huge role in stimulating the relevant economies. The fact that the economies of the territories were able to recover so quickly after the Empire's floods was a great contribution.

After the road was opened, the excited Emperor let the carriage pull him around the new road, becoming the first person to use the road. And personally named this road Qiankun Road.

The emperors of the other two kingdoms also sent congratulatory letters. Congratulations on the official opening of this road.......

After Jiang Xingchen's excitement passed, he carefully read the letter sent and couldn't help pursing his lips. Qiankun Road, from this name, you can see how domineering the current emperor is, this road connects three countries.

"It's better to call it the Xinghai Highway, from the Xingchen Collar to the seaside, how meaningful is this!" Jiang Xingchen muttered with some dissatisfaction. After thinking for a moment, he picked up a pen and paper and wrote a letter to the emperor.

The letter demanded simply, the construction of both sides of the road. and the issue of fees.

Jiang Xingchen himself spent nearly one-sixth of the 2.6 billion yuan spent on building this road, and of course this money must be recovered! Moreover, this road is the main artery running through the west and east, and now it is being built on a large scale in various places. The economy is growing rapidly. I can imagine how busy this road will be. The fundamental purpose of his construction of this road is to make transportation fast and convenient, not to get stuck in traffic.

Jiang Xingchen didn't think about these issues when the road was being built at that time, but now. Naturally, it was taken into account. So, one of the ways he came up with this was to charge a fee! That would limit a large part of the firms. Another way to do this is to plan roads. There is a separation zone in the middle, and the traffic on both sides is one-way. Closed on both sides of the road...... It is planned in full accordance with the model of the expressway. In addition, a special road patrol unit will be established.

The Emperor has not yet returned to the imperial capital from Heluo. I received a letter from Jiang Xingchen. After reading it, he was a little surprised, he really didn't expect that there would be so many words on one road. But he had to admit that Jiang Xingchen was indeed right. Even though the road is thirty meters wide, the end result is definitely congestion due to the influx of horse-drawn carriages.

Then the Emperor forwarded the letter to the major lords who built the road, as well as to the Great Chen and Dali Kingdoms.

Of course, those lords and the emperors of the two kingdoms raised their hands to welcome, who would not be happy to collect money! They did not expect that this road could still be used to make money. Even if he thought of it, he didn't dare to say it, for fear that the emperor would blame him.

After receiving feedback from all parties, the emperor immediately ordered to continue to build the road according to Jiang Xingchen's plan. And just like that, a new round of construction began.

Of course, there were also those who were not satisfied! Those who had enjoyed the new road for two days were so angry that they cursed when they learned that they would have to charge a fee! Some turned to other roads or in the wilderness, and some spent money on the road after calculating the price.

In short, after Jiang Xingchen's idea was implemented, the road was maintained in a relatively smooth environment, and his goal was achieved......

On June 8, the Wang family's fleet arrived at the port of Linhai City. The next day, thousands of wagons loaded with sorghum headed for the star collar. The road was newly built. They don't need to take a detour along the road from Dali to Dachen, they can go to Nanjiangling first, and from there board the Qiankun Road, so that they can arrive within 20 days. Of course, the team led by the stars is privileged, and there is no toll for taking this road.

Jiang Xingchen was very happy after receiving the news, and it was almost all good news during this period of time, which made him feel very good.

What he didn't expect was that the good news would not come or not, and it would be a little unstoppable as soon as it came. Just after he instructed the brewer to prepare in advance, Sun Sanqiang from Hongyuan City wrote again, the manganese refinery has been completed, and it will be officially produced in a few days. The progress of the steel plant is also much faster than expected, and it is estimated that it will be completed by the end of July.

Jiang Xingchen smiled, the faster the progress of the steel plant, the better it would be for the territory. The increase in productivity and output can just solve the problem of labor waste on the side of the light rail highway.

After that, Luo Yu and Ling'er came. They are going to sign a big contract with Shuntong here.

Due to the development of light rail roads, there is a greater demand for horse-drawn carriages in Shuntong Train. In terms of funds, they asked Jufu Qian Zhuang for loans, and the horses contacted the Orc Alliance.

Although the Orc Alliance has liberalized the technology of beast breeding, there is no force in the unique conditions of millions of square kilometers of boundless grassland. Their horses, both in quantity and quality, are far behind other forces. Cattle and sheep are the same, and now the materials used in Xingchenling's big restaurant are either raised by Xingchenling themselves, or they are transported from the grassland, and they are not used in other places at all.

The negotiations went on very quickly, Shuntong Automobile Company urgently needed horses to transport, Luo Yu looked at Jiang Xingchen's face, and the price was relatively real, and the two sides quickly signed an agreement on a batch of 100,000 horses, with a total price of 20 million citrine coins.

A large part of these horses were prepared for the kind of containers that Jiang Xingchen said in the future. The other part is the replacement of the old, weak, sick and disabled horses.

After facilitating this deal, neither Luo Yu nor Ling'er left. During the winter hot pot festival, he didn't come because he was about to take over as the patriarch of the golden lion and was busy with affairs, and he kept thinking about it in his heart.

Jiang Xingchen was in a very good mood at this time, thinking that Luo Yu, a big foodie, had never eaten hot pot yet, so he nodded and agreed to cook it himself.

Luo Yu stayed in the lord's mansion to watch Jiang Xingchen prepare the hot pot, but Ling'er couldn't stay still and went to the little cat girl. Now she still remembers the time when Jiang Xingchen dragged herself to sing the little apple last summer.

At dinner, there was a big table in the room, and Luo Yu, the old man, and Zhao Danqing, the three major foodies, gathered. Jiang Xingchen was fortunate to see another snatching battle.

After dinner, Jiang Xingchen was shocked, he cut a total of fifteen catties of beef, and there was nothing left. These three goods are too edible, if you add Haksu...... Jiang Xingchen couldn't help but mutter: "This is a group of pigs......"

After a hot pot, Jiang Xingchen originally thought that Luo Yu had to go back. Unexpectedly, this product said that after reading the advertisement of Xingchen Monthly, he decided to wait until the new wine came out before leaving.

"......" Jiang Xingchen was completely speechless, aren't you about to take over, how can you still have time to wait for new wine here......

On June 20th, the good news continued to follow, and the base of the Arctic Ice Sheet was almost complete.

He sent a team at the beginning of May and arrived at the end of May, but the amount of work was not very large, as it only required the construction of simple houses and warm ondols.

Originally, he thought about taking the tofu and them again, but then he gave up considering that the weather was too hot and it was not easy to transport combustible ice! Now he has nearly 10 million combustible ice, enough to support the use of the steel plant. On the side of Minggang City, due to the southerly location and warm climate, it is not easy to build an ice cellar and cold storage, so Jiang Xingchen had to let charcoal be used there.

On June 27th, the sorghum transported from Linhai City finally arrived, and the brewing of fragrant liquor officially began.

At this point, Jiang Xingchen asked Grandpa Fu to publish the time of the launch of the new liquor in the Xingchen Monthly, July 35th, the time is relatively late, but this is also a helpless thing, the brewing cycle of strong fragrant liquor is here, and the shortest time is more than 40 days.

On June 30th, Jiang Xingchen's twenty-fourth birthday, on this day, he just had a meal of lo noodles with Mei'er. Both of them are very busy right now, summer is approaching, the number of tourists in the territory is gradually increasing, and Mei'er is very busy every day...... Jiang Xingchen is the same, he needs to use a temperature-controlled pressure array to control the temperature and humidity of sorghum fermentation every day, and he can't spare time at all.

At the end of June, Jiang Xingchen had just come back from the brewing workshop, and he saw Zhao Danqing grinning and running to him with a smile on his face: "Brother Jiang, I have good news for you!" (to be continued......
