Daming: I, Yang Xian, really govern Yang!

Chapter 143
On the official road leading to Yangzhou.

A small, inconspicuous-looking caravan was moving forward slowly.

There were three people sitting in the carriage.

The leader was an old man who was holding a scroll of ancient slips and looking at them. There was a faint authoritative majesty about him. Even under the fatigue of traveling and traveling, he still looked energetic.

It can be seen that the old man must have often traveled across mountains and rivers when he was young, and he has long been accustomed to these things.

In contrast, the little boy in the carriage couldn't sit still.

"grandfather!"

"Why do we come to Yangzhou?"

"I don't know about this. Of course our trip to Yangzhou is for the glassware. Idiot Xiaocheng, can you keep some serious things in your head? You just don't do your job all day long."

Shen Xia glanced at her brother, gave him a chestnut on the head, and said angrily.

Shen Cheng's head hurt. He originally planned to look at his sister, but when he raised his head and saw his sister's eyes, his neck immediately shrank back.

The old man on the side looked at the siblings in front of him and laughed dumbly.

The aura of a superior person also disappeared, and he turned into an ordinary old man.

This old man is none other than Shen Wansan, who is known as the richest businessman in the Ming Dynasty.

Although Shen Wansan was not satisfied with his unfulfilling sons, he liked his two grandsons and granddaughters very much.

Shen Xia has been smart since she was a child and can learn everything at once. Shen Xia is like a little adult. Although Shen Xia is often bullied by her sister and often said to be useless by Shen Xia, Shen Cheng has a pure mind and has great wisdom in Shen Wansan's opinion. It's just that the children themselves don't know clearly.

Much better than his sons who only care about money.

"Master, we are about to enter Rugao County in Yangzhou."

Hearing the voice of the servants in front of the carriage, before Shen Wansan could speak, Shen Cheng excitedly opened the carriage curtain and looked outside.

"Sister, black ground, black ground!" Shen Cheng suddenly discovered something and shouted loudly.

"What a black ground, idiot Xiaocheng, can you have some common sense? Official roads are all yellow soil, black soil, do you think it is in the northeast?" Shen Xia said.

"It's really black ground, not black soil." Shen Cheng stuck his head out of the car window, retracted half of it, looked at Shen Xia and said.

"Xiaocheng, you are not young anymore. Can you stop being so childish?"

Shen Xia thought Shen Cheng was lying to her, and said she was going to teach her unsatisfactory brother a lesson with chestnuts again.

At this moment, the carriage suddenly shook.

Shen Xia, who had just stood up halfway, immediately lost her balance and fell back to the original position.

what happened?

Without waiting for Shen Wansan to speak.

The servant outside the carriage said: "Master, the young master is right, there is indeed a black road outside. The bump just now was when our carriage entered this new black road from the original official road. It’s caused by the height difference in the road.”

"Let me just say I didn't lie." Shen Cheng said.

After hearing what the servant said, Shen Xia immediately stood up and opened the curtain on the other side of the car, stuck out her little head and looked out, her little eyes widened.

Idiot Xiao Cheng, he didn’t lie this time.

It is indeed a black road!

Shen Xia had never seen this kind of road surface before.

From a distance, it looks very smooth and smooth.

Looking into the distance, with no end in sight, she looked for a while and discovered a fact that shocked her even more.

That means no dust!
The moving carriage did not raise a trace of dust.

This, how on earth is this done? !After a while, Shen Wansan, who was sitting in the carriage reading a book, finally noticed something strange.

Because he found that since the carriage entered this black road, it drove more smoothly, without any bumps at all.

Shen Wansan is able to achieve such achievements because of his uniqueness. He is very sensitive to many details.

Originally, on the official road, although his men had good driving skills, they were still inevitably bumpy.

But from entering the black path to now, Shen Wansan has not felt this at all.

What's going on with this road?

Even Shen Wansan couldn't help but look outside the carriage.

Then he saw the asphalt road in its entirety.

The road was smooth and flat, with no potholes in sight.

From the Yuan Dynasty to the present Ming Dynasty, Shen Wansan traveled all over the country when he was young, almost all over the territory of the Ming Dynasty.

Its business also covers all walks of life.

I have seen all kinds of novel things from all over the world.

But this strange black road in front of him was the first time he had seen it.

In the past few years, he has gradually begun to retreat behind the scenes. Some time ago, he and his two grandchildren had been recuperating at his villa.

It was also some time ago that I came out again after hearing the news about Wujin Liuli.

Not only was it smooth, but after the carriage entered the black road, it obviously became faster.

This trip to Yangzhou is worth it.

The old man looked away, originally he just wanted to see the legendary Wugou Liuli.

soon.

The carriage has entered Rugao County.

Gradually, various shouts could be heard coming from outside the carriage.

I have been traveling all the way from Zhejiang. Although I haven’t reached Yangzhou City yet, I have finally arrived in Yangzhou.

The fatigue of traveling and traveling was not just something to talk about in ancient times. Just sitting in the carriage and doing nothing would make you very tired at the end of the day.

Before high-speed rail was developed, anyone who had taken a green train would have this experience.

What's more, ancient carriages had to endure bumps along the way.

Although Shen Wansan has long been used to this kind of life, now that he is getting older after all, his spirit can handle it, but his body may not be able to bear it.

Shen Wansan was not in a hurry to go to Yangzhou City and simply ordered someone to stop the carriage.

"Ah Qi, go find out what's going on on this road." Shen Wansan said.

"Yes, boss." A man immediately took the order and left.

The people in the carriage simply came down to get some fresh air and waited for the servant named Ah Qi to come back and reply.

Shen Wansan stepped off the carriage, stepped on the dark road with his feet, and felt the indescribable touch coming from the soles of his feet. He quietly exerted force on his right foot.

The road surface is very solid, not an ordinary dirt road at all.

Shen Cheng jumped happily on the spot.

Shen Xia on the side squatted on the ground and began to study what the black road was made of.

"The entire road is connected as a whole. It is obviously not paved with slates or bricks. There are no such big slates in the world." The girl stretched out her small hand and poked the black road with a confused look on her face. "This level of solidity is not soil."
