After being bound to the learning system in my mother's womb, I became the empress

Chapter 171 The emperor is like a treasure

Lin Wushang stood up and walked to the Bogu shelf, turning a porcelain bottle placed on it.

The Bogu shelf actually split in the middle, like a door, revealing a dark room hidden behind it.

"Come with me."

Lin Xi entered the darkroom with him.

The dark room was not dark. There was a luminous pearl embedded in it, illuminating the room with light.

Of course, this luminous pearl was not as big as the Ruyi Pearl that Lin Wushang had given to Lin Xi before, so she took one look and looked away.

On the wall on the right is a huge map.

Lin Xi: "Is this Dayong's map?" She saw Peizhou on it.

Lin Wushang's eyes fell on the map, "Well, I drew it based on the memory of my previous life."

Lin Xi: "I remember that it was illegal to hide maps privately in ancient times, right?"

After Yuan Ye, she purchased a course called "Ancient Common Sense" and learned a lot about various ancient common sense.

It mentioned that in ancient times, ordinary people were not allowed to hide maps privately.

This kind of map, which is so detailed that it covers the entire Dayong, is something that only the emperor is entitled to enjoy.

Lin Wushang: "Yes, once someone discovers that I hold such a map in my hand, I will be charged with conspiracy, so I hid it in the secret room."

Lin Xi: "Aren't you afraid that I will tell others?"

Lin Wushang turned to look at her: "Can you do it?"

Lin Xi: "Of course not. You and I are just grasshoppers on the same rope. If I report you, what will I gain? When you are caught, where can I find someone like you? Such a useful collaborator?”

Lin Wushang was not surprised that she said this. In her eyes, people were probably divided into two categories: useful and useless.

Isn't it because he is alive to this day that he is useful to her?
But he knew it was the same thing, but he still felt a little disappointed when he heard her say that.

Lin Xi didn't notice his slight change in mood, and was only concerned: "Did you bring me here just to see the map?"

Lin Wushang shook his head, walked to the map, and traced the line between Beijing and Yuezhou with his finger.

"Yuezhou is located on the border of Beiland. Beyond Yuezhou, you will reach Beirong.

"The Beirong people live a nomadic life, living in pursuit of water and grass. They are naturally fierce and brave. Compared with the people of Dayong, they have more of a wolf-like animal nature.

"In the eyes of the Beirong people, the Dayong people are docile and weak two-legged sheep, and they are mobile wealth. Therefore, every winter when the weather is freezing and materials are scarce, the Beirong will lead their troops to attack and plunder the borders. , Yuezhou often bears the brunt.

Lin Xi also stepped forward and tapped his finger on the line of defense between Yuezhou and Beirong.

"The Fenglang Pass here is to defend against Beirong, right?"

Lin Wushang: "Yes, but it's a pity that the border is long and Fenglang Pass cannot completely resist the Beirong. Besides, the Beirong people are good at riding and shooting. Their cavalry comes and goes like the wind. After the robbery, Dayong's soldiers are often not there yet." When they arrived, they ran away.

"The people on the northern border have been suffering from Beirong for a long time."

Lin Xi didn't have as many emotions as him: "It's just the jungle of the jungle. If you don't want to be robbed, then you have to work hard to become stronger. Then you can rob them in turn if you want."

Lin Wushang looked at her, a little surprised by her reaction, but felt it was reasonable.

Lin Xi: "Why are you looking at me like this? Do you think I should sympathize with the people on the border and feel angry towards Beirong?"

Lin Wushang: "You are right to think so." But he seemed a little cold.

I don’t know if it’s good or bad for her to do this.

His eyes fell on the map again, and he began to think deeply.

“If the emperor wants to build a post road, he must get funding from the Ministry of Revenue, supervision from the Ministry of Works, and assistance from the Ministry of War... Such a big project cannot be started without the support of the courtiers.

"However, those courtiers did not agree."

Lin Xi: "Have you thought of any solution?"

Lin Wushang: "...No."

Others were reborn, but the powers of the previous life were not reborn along with them.

Now that the aristocratic family is still in power in the court, what can he do if the aristocratic family objects?
Lin Xi: "No, you do."

Lin Wushang turned his head, his eyes showing confusion.Lin Xi: "You forgot, we have already made cement. Didn't you ask me what cement is before? I will tell you now.

“In later generations, cement was an indispensable building material for building bridges, paving roads, and building houses. It was impervious to water and fire and as hard as rock.

"If we provide the emperor with a large amount of cement, he will still need the approval of the ministers to build the post road——"

Before she finished speaking, Lin Wushang suddenly stepped forward and held her shoulders tightly, "Are you telling the truth?"

Lin Xi frowned: "Let go, you're hurting me."

Lin Wushang hurriedly let go of her, but still stared at her closely, for fear of missing her words.

Lin Xi: "Of course it's true. Why did I lie to you?"

Lin Wushang: "Great!"

Because he was so happy and excited, his brain was even a little dizzy, and he put one hand on the wall.

But the light in his eyes was still amazingly bright.

"Hahaha, great, Xibao..."

Lin Wushang couldn't help but laugh loudly. A wave of depression that had been accumulated for two lifetimes poured out with the laughter, making his whole person feel indescribably happy.

He couldn't remember the last time he laughed like this.

But he had a hunch that he would probably have many opportunities to laugh in this life.

*
The night is cold as water.

The sky is blue.

A waxing moon hangs in the sky, like a clear and shining flower.

The emperor stood in front of the window with his hands behind his hands, looking at the moon. His back looked quite melancholy and deep.

A dark cloud drifted over and blocked the moon.

The emperor sighed and felt that Dayong's path forward was just like the blocked moon. Who could push away the dark clouds for him?
At this moment, Jiang Hai came to report: "Your Majesty, the secret agent is back."

Emperor: "Xuan."

An San entered the palace, bowed to the emperor, and presented a letter with both hands.

"Your Majesty, this is a reply from Prince Lin to you. There is also a bag of cement. Prince Lin has asked his subordinates to deliver it to you personally."

The emperor received the letter and asked: "Cement? What is that?"

An San took out a bag of cement hidden in his arms, "Prince Lin said, you will understand after reading the letter."

The emperor did not have any extravagant hopes before reading the letter.

The reason why he wrote to Lin Xiaojiu was just to express his feelings to him, a friend he had forgotten about for many years.

When you are an emperor, you are sometimes very depressed, and you cannot talk freely.

Although the queen was considerate, he didn't want to always pour out his bitterness on her.

But when it comes to Lin Xiaojiu, he doesn't have so many scruples.

First of all, Lin Xiaojiu is not a member of the DPRK and cannot affect the situation in the DPRK.

Secondly, Lin Xiaojiu is still a child, a child who is almost as intelligent as a demon but has not yet acquired the sophistication of an adult.

In front of him, I can temporarily put aside the burden of being an emperor and speak freely to a certain extent.

but!He didn't expect that Lin Wushang actually came up with a perfect solution!

After reading the letter, the emperor couldn't help but be overjoyed, and the hand holding the letter trembled.

He couldn't wait to pick up the bag of cement, as if he had found a treasure.

This is cement, a building material that, when mixed with water, can pave roads, build bridges and build houses!
With it, there is no need to spend a lot of manpower and material resources to mine ore and cut wood in the mountains.

Just mix the cement with water right on the spot!
Once the cement dries and takes shape, the road is paved!

How easy and convenient this is!
