Daming: I asked you to supervise the country, Daming is all crazy?

Chapter 121 Zhu Gaochi: This son is cheating and can't be dealt with [Add more updates for the first leader, Tianzui Taoist! 】

Zhu Gaochi was dumbfounded.

Looking at Zhu Zhanji with a puzzled face, he said:

"Zhanji, what does this mean?"

When Zhu Zhanji heard his silly father ask, he smiled and said:

"Father, let me ask you a few questions."

Before Zhu Gaochi could reply, Zhu Zhanji asked:

"This cement can condense sand into stone, and the stone will not rot for a thousand years, right?"

Zhu Gaochi nodded: "You said so!"

Zhu Zhanji continued to ask: "Then the cement road in front of you is the first cement road since ancient times, right? It will be passed down to future generations, right?"

"This has never appeared before. If it is true that it will not rot for a thousand years, it is not impossible to pass it on!"

Zhu Gaochi nodded first, and then said in confusion: "But does this have anything to do with fingerprints and footprints?"

"Of course there is!"

Zhu Zhanji raised his chin, and then said: "The prince and grandson left a footprint and two handprints on the first cement road in history. Do you think it will be very commemorative after this kind of thing is passed down? Future generations When people pass by this road, don't they also think of this unconsciously?"

"This………"

Zhu Gaochi froze when he heard Zhu Zhanji's explanation.

Then his pair of small eyes, squeezed a little by the chubby face, immediately lit up.

Subconsciously, he looked at the two handprints and footprints on the ground, not only a little eagerness flashed in his eyes.

Zhou Chen and Gu Zuo on the side were also stunned when they heard Zhu Zhanji's explanation.

Then, almost at the same time, there were regretful expressions on the faces of the two of them.

Leaving a mark on a very commemorative place like the first concrete road in history, and if the cement road is condensed into stone, if it does not rot for a thousand years, what is the difference between this kind of thing and a celebrity through the ages?
The two of them can almost imagine that once this story is passed on, everyone who sets foot on this road in the future will definitely think of Yongle 12 years. Two handprints and footprints were left on the concrete road, right?

And if His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and His Highness the Grandson both ascend the throne and become emperors in the future.

Then these two handprints and footprints...

When the two of them thought of this, they almost felt remorseful.

What made the two of them regret even more was why they hadn't thought of this in advance. If they had thought of this earlier, wouldn't it be easy to leave a mark if they just found a reason?

Wouldn't he leave his name with the two future emperors by then?

In other words, simply write a poem, so that not only the name but also the lines can be passed down.

No matter how bad it is, as the person in charge of the cement road, it's okay to leave a few words, right?

But now His Majesty the grandson in front of him has already explained what he said, and it is obvious that it will not work if he continues to do it. They are still very self-aware. Since the prince and grandson have left handprints and footprints, without the consent of the two, they will naturally disappear here. The position, unless it is another prince or the emperor, is almost the same.

Thinking of this, the two looked at each other with some inexplicable expressions in their eyes.

After all, what is being built now is only the first cement road, and there will be a second and third road in the future. If it is not good enough, don’t we have to rebuild the dilapidated houses in the civilian areas?

Although it is impossible to leave a name with the two future emperors like now, at least there is a place to leave a name.

Zhu Zhanji didn't know that his sudden rise would directly lead to a strange phenomenon in Daming. Every time a new cement building appeared, someone would immediately leave some names or other poems on the corners.

Seeing the handprints and footprints on the road at this time, Zhu Zhanji couldn't help but feel a little evil in his heart.

I don't know that these two handprints and footprints were passed down to later generations, when they were discovered by later generations.

I don't know if this place will be regarded as a check-in place for Internet celebrities?

At that time, a bunch of people will be holding their mobile phones while gesticulating on the fingerprints left by themselves.

Thinking of these, these pictures will pop up in his mind inexplicably.

Zhu Gaochi didn't know what his son was thinking, he thought the same as Zhou Chen and Gu Zuo, wondering if he wanted to leave a few words or poems on the cement road?

But in the same way, after being pointed out by Zhu Zhanji, he was too embarrassed to take the initiative to speak, otherwise it would appear a little deliberate.

When he was thinking about what kind of reason to use, he seemed to have seen his thoughts, and Zhou Chen on the side suggested:

"His Royal Highness, His Royal Highness, today is the day when the first cement road in history was built. Why don't your two Highnesses leave a few words here at this opportunity, as a warning to those who come later?"

"this………"

When Zhu Gaochi heard Zhou Chen's words, his eyes flashed a little bit, but he couldn't agree directly, and he was not only a little entangled for a while.

Zhu Zhanji, who was on the side, couldn't help rolling his eyes when he saw the silly father's expression of refusal and welcome.

Then after thinking about it, the corners of his mouth raised slightly, he walked to the side and found a branch, picked it up and started writing.

Since being despised by Xia Yuanji and silly father last time, Zhu Zhanji has been practicing calligraphy frequently recently. Although he is not a master of Chinese characters, he has a bit of rhyme and looks full of aura.

This is also the reason why Zhu Zhanji dared to start writing directly. After all, this kind of place can be called a celebrity through the ages if it is well written, and it will be a car rollover scene if it is not well written.

Zhu Gaochi, who was on the side, saw that his son had already written it, and while he was a little envious, he also subconsciously read what Zhu Zhanji wrote:
"There are tens of thousands of roads, safety is the first, the driving is not standardized, and the loved ones are crying!"

Zhu Gaochi: "..."

Seeing what his son wrote, Zhu Gaochi blinked, and couldn't help but said: "You child, if you tell you to write, you can write it. What is this writing? It's not in words, it's not in vain, what is driving irregularly? Tears from relatives Two lines! This cement road has just been built, so write such unlucky words, wipe it off quickly."

Zhu Zhanji glanced at the silly father, smiled and said: "I just saw that you didn't understand this. I am warning the future generations, okay?"

"You can't write like that if you warn me!"

Zhu Gaochi said unhappily, and as he spoke, he was about to take the branch in Zhu Zhanji's hand and cross out the words on the ground.

Zhu Zhanji curled his lips, thought for a while, and then recruited a craftsman to smooth out the words on the ground.

Seeing the satisfied smile on Zhu Gaochi's face, Zhu Zhanji slammed down another two lines of characters:

"Double splitting cuts a dead end, and cutting is the root."

After finishing writing, Zhu Zhanji showed a bit of complacency on his face, then looked at Zhu Gaochi with a smile and said, "How about it, dad, should this sentence work?"

Zhu Gaochi: "..."

"You child, why do you still want to cheat your father?"

Zhu Gaochi stared at the words written by Zhu Zhanji. If he hadn't followed the Emperor Taizu since he was a child, he might have followed Zhu Zhanji's way.

"Didn't you know that your grandfather is very optimistic about you? You also know your grandfather very well, so you are asking?"

Zhu Zhanji smiled and didn't care.

This sentence is not a poem, to be precise, it is actually a couplet, written by my great-grandfather for a butcher himself.

Originally, I just saw that the butcher did not post Spring Festival couplets for the New Year, and felt that it was not festive, so I wrote such a couplet with my own hands.

But I have to say that although the great ancestor emperor of Ming Dynasty didn't read any books when he was a child, his talent and acquired hard work are worthy of recognition.

This couplet not only reads in one go, but also is very majestic.

When I first read this couplet and write about the background of a butcher, I feel as if I saw a lifelike butcher slaughtering livestock with a knife in both hands.

But combined with Zhu Yuanzhang's experience, it is actually not difficult to see that this is not a portrayal of Zhu Yuanzhang himself.

Relying on a pair of hands and a knife, he forcibly laid down the Great Ming Dynasty. These words are both proud and emotional.

So Zhu Zhanji wrote this sentence here, but it is not nonsense.

What he's doing now, in fact, isn't he using his hands to split a road to life and death in the future of Ming Dynasty in another sense?Cut off the right and wrong of future generations.

Zhu Gaochi didn't know the deep meaning of Zhu Zhanji's writing, he just thought that his son wanted to deceive him, and he felt that the probability of this was not small, and it was not the first time that he was deceived by his son.

I feel that this cheating son can't deal with it.

He glanced at Zhu Zhanji sullenly, but didn't speak.

It was mainly the words written by Zhu Zhanji, and he couldn't find suitable words to juxtapose them for a while.

After all, his son used the words of Emperor Taizu, so it is impossible for him to use other people's words, right?

Isn't this slandering Emperor Taizu?
Zhu Zhanji didn't think of this at first. Seeing that the silly father didn't write for a long time, he was taken aback for a while before reacting, and then he tentatively said with some embarrassment: "Well, dad, you are old, how about I change it again?"

Zhu Gao gave Zhu Zhanji a white look, and changed the hammer. If it gets out, maybe others will arrange him.

Let the attendant on the side fetch water and wash off the cement on his hands.

Seeing this, Zhu Zhanji also washed it. Cement is a strong alkaline substance. Although a little contact has no effect, long-term contact will still cause some damage to the skin, and it is easy to cause peeling. .

After washing his hands, Zhu Gaochi asked, "How long will it take for this concrete road to solidify into stone?"

Although Zhu Zhanji knew a little about cement, he didn't know much about the large-scale application of cement in road construction, so he looked at Zhou Chen who was on the side.

Although he never arranged for Zhou Chen to test such things, but based on his understanding, he estimated that Zhou Chen would definitely not miss these things.

Seeing Zhu Zhanji looking over, Zhou Chen paused for a moment, then cupped his hands and said: "His Royal Highness, the craftsmen have experimented with cement, such as the use of cement on such a large scale, it can condense after a day, but it is not strong. , if it is crushed with heavy objects, it is very easy to break, and after two days, pedestrians can pass through it without leaving marks, and after three days, even some horses without horseshoes can slowly step on it."

"However, to achieve the best results, we still need to wait for more than half a month. During this period, we need to protect the road surface regularly to prevent the temperature from dropping suddenly or being exposed to the sun. After half a month, the cement surface will be as hard as a stone, even if it is hit with a heavy hammer. It is also extremely difficult to destroy.”

Hearing Zhou Chen's explanation, Zhu Gaochi felt a little unbelievable again. He had seen this so-called cement just now.

It's just some sand and gravel, and burnt cement, with so much water added, it will take dozens of days to dry it, right?
But hearing Zhou Chen's meaning that it can be solidified in just one day, he always feels a little unreliable. After all, even if the weather is bad, it is extremely difficult to dry clothes in one day.

But he also knew that Zhou Chen would definitely not deceive himself about this kind of thing, after all, this kind of thing would not be of any benefit to Zhou Chen.

At the same time, it took only a day or two to verify the results, and it was impossible to use them to deceive him.

So the question arises, how did such a damp thing solidify in a day or two?

And if these are true, then if this kind of thing is used to build an official road?

For example, build an official road that is in harmony with the sky!
The matter of the old man's moving the capital to Shuntian was decided long ago, but it has been delayed until now because the construction of Shuntian has not been completed.

In fact, he didn't support moving the capital in his heart, but his arms couldn't twist his thighs. To Zhu Di, his opposition was like a monk chanting scriptures. Zhu Di probably couldn't listen to a word.

So the matter of moving the capital is already a foregone conclusion, but what if a cement road is built to meet the sky?
Isn't the biggest reason why the old man moved his capital to Shuntian to consolidate his rule?

Shuncheon is his hometown, and being in Shuncheon is like being at home, and it is very convenient to go to the Northern Expedition.

But what about building a concrete road between the two places?

The distance between the two places is only more than 2000 miles. Although they were connected by official roads in the past, the weather is fine, and it only takes two or three days to travel quickly.

Rain is a problem, the road is difficult, but the cement road does not have this difficulty, not only that, the cement road is even smoother.

No matter what the weather is, if it is a fast horse, it will definitely not take two or three days to reach the two places.

Even if it is a large army, even if it is an infantry, it is estimated that it will take six or seven days to arrive. If it is a cavalry, it may only take three or four days!
In this way, the connection between the two places must be close. Whether it is Dingdu Shuntian or Dingdu Yingtian, it is an excellent thing.

The more Zhu Gaochi thought about it, the more he felt that this matter was feasible, and he just forgot it.

Yifengmen is only four miles away from the wharf. According to what Zhu Zhanji told him, it will take two days. In addition to leveling the road in advance, it will take five or six days at most.

It took five or six days to build a four-mile road, which was still a seven-foot-wide cement road, and Ying Tianshuntian was only more than 2000 miles away. Even if some places needed to be opened to build bridges, he calculated that it would take about a year at most. Build this road.

And if more craftsmen can be summoned, this road may be built faster.

At the same time, he also knows that the current court is not short of money, and the cost of cement is not high, so this matter is even more feasible.

Thinking of this, Zhu Gaochi couldn't help being a little excited, and then looked at Zhou Chen and asked directly:

"Let me ask you, if a concrete road is built from Yingtian to Shuntian, is it feasible?"

"this………"

Zhou Chen was taken aback by Zhu Gaochi's question. He had also suggested to Zhu Zhanji about building official roads earlier in the morning.

It's just that Zhu Zhanji asked to build Yingtian first, so he kept this matter in his heart.

Hearing Zhu Gaochi mention this matter, Zhou Chen couldn't help but feel his heart move, and then subconsciously glanced at Zhu Zhanji.

After all, he didn't dare to make the decision on this matter. Zhu Zhanji temporarily suppressed this matter before. Now even if the prince in front of him asks, he still needs Zhu Zhanji's consent.

"My father asked you something, what do you see me doing?"

Seeing Zhou Chen looking at him, Zhu Zhanji rolled his eyes and said.

My stupid father asked, could he still keep Zhou Chen from talking?

What's more, road construction is something that will happen sooner or later. If my stupid father takes the initiative to bring it up, he will naturally get more support at that time!
It's just that he didn't expect that the first thing his stupid father would think of was to build a concrete road from Yingtian to Shuntian.

The distance between the two capitals is not far, and it is definitely not close if it is said to be close.

If a cement road is really built, it will become a highway connecting the two places in this era.

Whether it is for Shuntian or for the sky, it is actually very valuable.

But the only problem is that Zhu Zhanji actually hopes that the construction company will train more craftsmen who are more familiar with cement and road repair before building these roads.

Firstly, the skills of experienced craftsmen will be more reliable, and secondly, more craftsmen also mean more efficient speed.

After all, the increase in the distance of the cement road means more problems.

Not only the choice of route, but also the construction technology of cement bridges, and even tunnel excavation technology.

These are not simply using cement to build a short cement road from Yifengmen to the Yangtze River Wharf.

Of course, this matter is not impossible. After all, this nation has grown up in the face of various problems and difficulties since ancient times.

Seeing Zhu Zhanji nodding, Zhou Chen heaved a sigh of relief, and immediately cupped his hands to Zhu Gaochi:

"Back to His Royal Highness, I have thought about this matter in private. In theory, it is feasible to build a cement road that is in harmony with the sky. However, the problem now is that cement is different from the previous road construction. method, although this object is stronger than soil, masonry, and stone slabs, it also takes more time to condense."

"Besides, Yingtian and Shuntian also need to cross many rivers. There is no precedent for the Ministry of Industry to build bridges with cement, so the problem is still huge."

"If you can do it!"

Zhu Gaochi couldn't help but nodded when he heard the words.

He is not afraid of difficulties. After all, the imperial court has raised so many people, and his own son even promoted Zhou Chen. Isn't it just to solve the difficulties of their old Zhu family?
If these people can't solve the problem, then why keep these people?
Might as well send it all away.

And since cement can build roads, building bridges is naturally not a problem.

Thinking of this, Zhu Gaochi couldn't wait to get up, asked some questions about cement, and went back home, planning to find someone to discuss the construction of the cement road from Yingtian to Shuntian.

Fortunately, Zhou Chen didn't know what Zhu Gaochi was thinking. If he knew, he would have to ask Zhu Zhanji to arrange himself back to Huangzhuang.

Although he also wants to use cement to build roads everywhere, he actually understands in his heart that Zhu Zhanji, the grandson, is definitely the one who understands some things the most.

It's like building roads with cement. It seems simple, but in fact, he has organized hundreds of craftsmen. Under Zhu Zhanji's prompting, he has been researching cement day and night for more than a month.

Then it was only then that the cement road from Yifengmen to the Yangtze River Wharf was surveyed and mapped, which was a short four miles long.

Just like this, he almost scratched his scalp.

After all, as Zhu Zhanji said, although the current craftsmen are very experienced in many aspects.

But cement, a new thing, has just appeared after all. It is absolutely impossible to use cement skillfully without some craftsmen who have thoroughly studied cement.

And things like building bridges with cement are not just theoretically possible or feasible.

Although many things are easy to think of, it is definitely not so easy to do.
