Chapter 211 Mount Tai

In early March of the ninth year of the empire, the capital of the capital officially began, and this was the second part of the capital migration plan. As early as the seventh year of the empire, the administrative office of Nanjing had begun to move to Shenjing, and it was coming to an end. The nobles had already assigned their own houses from the East Palace, moved in early, and were waiting to take over the royal family.

The capital relocation team in Beijing is also divided into two parts, one is the big head, mainly the government office. This part takes a boat directly to Tianjin and arrives at Shenjing. It is expected to be completed in three months. Instead, the royal family headed south by land according to the scheduled plan, but did not choose the canal waterway, but chose the newly built Jingshen Avenue on the bank of the canal.

It took half a month for the imperial chariot to go from the capital to Tianjin alone, mainly because there were too many activities arranged along the way. Although the theme was to say goodbye, various inscriptions, farewells, willows, and poems were not liked by Li Mingxun, nor was he good at it, but considering that the province of the capital contributed more than 1.5 million taels of "God of the Driving Gold", Li Mingxun also felt that the red flags outside were waving and crowded.

Since Tianjin, it has not been so troublesome. It was not until the city of Fuzhi that there must be a celebration that the emperor had to publicly show up, and the speed of traveling was much faster.

Jingshen Avenue was prepared for construction in the third year of the empire, mainly to make up for the lack of the slow speed of the canal to connect north and south. Because of the rise of sea transportation, the role of the Jinghang Canal is no longer so obvious. However, because the two sides of the straits it passes also require cheap water transportation, it was dredged at the beginning of the founding of the country. However, even after dredging, due to the width, water flow and sluice, the competitiveness in transportation costs is far less than that of sea transportation. There is a problem with sea transportation and canals, that is, the speed is too slow. The cabinet first proposed to prepare the official roads in north and south, and gradually expanded on this plan, and finally formed Jingshen Avenue.

"The official roads left by Zhu Ming's era are mostly rammed earth. I remember that when Liangyang Avenue was built in Nanhua, it turned into a gravel road, and the drainage performance was greatly improved. I didn't expect that asphalt roads had appeared in just a few years." While resting in Tianjin, Li Mingxun looked at the blue-black road and couldn't help but sigh.

As the person in charge of the northbound pick-up, Ma Donglai had already done his homework on this. He was the one who was the one who was working hard to practice Jingshen Avenue. When the emperor mentioned this, he smiled and said, "Emperor, the asphalt road is not long, and it changed only thirty miles away from Tianjin. When Weichen was working hard to practice Jingshen Avenue, he had also conducted many investigations and demonstrations, and sent someone to the Liangyang Avenue that the emperor was responsible for building.

Liangyang Avenue is also asphalt pavement. It is mainly transported from Borneo. Although the asphalt pavement is flat, it is not enough to be overcooled or overheated. After Liangyang Avenue is built, it requires a team of thousands of people to maintain it. When Jingshen Avenue was built, it was also prepared to use asphalt, but the only provinces in the country can produce asphalt is Yan'an Prefecture. The transportation cost is too high. What you see is the asphalt road from here to Beijing. A few years ago, when you implemented the honeycomb coal furnace in the north, the moral policy was extended. Because of the implementation of honeycomb coal, northern provinces mostly use coal, while Liaoning, Jingji and Shandong all produce coal, and use coal green to pave the road, solving the dregs problem. It is better..."

Li Mingxun listened and smiled and said nothing. Ma Donglai's words were not true. At least coal green has nothing to do with promoting honeycomb coal. The dregs produced by honeycomb coal are carbon ash, and coal green should be the product of coal smelting. Tar is used to make ink, which accelerates the popularization of the imperial printing industry. The dregs produced by filtering tar are coal green, which can be used to pave the way. Promoting the smelting of northern coal to tar output and then to asphalt is the top priority of the northern revitalization plan promoted by Prime Minister Li Hai of the Cabinet in the third year of the empire.

"............ Although coal green is relatively cheap, it is not good. It is easy to crack in winter and will melt in summer. It is too toxic and not suitable for the large-scale popularization of Jingshen Avenue. However, if you use all cement, the cost is too high. Plan it from multiple sources. Finally, it is determined. Use coal green, cement and gravel to mix and lay it, and then use a stone mill or iron mill to roll it over. The road surface is very flat and it is not easy to crack or melt......"

"If Donglai is intent, you have always done your work properly. I feel at ease." Li Mingxun praised.

Li Junhua asked: "Sir, why is the east side of the road a hundred meters away from the canal, with grass growing in the middle, and the west side of the road is full of farmland?"

Ma Donglai said: "This is what the Ministry of Transportation did. In the early years, the emperor taught me that the benefit of railways will last forever, and that the country will prosper. I have always kept this in my mind. When Jingshen Avenue began to acquire land, although many methods such as land replacement, tax exemption, and redemption were adopted, it still caused a lot of trouble. I thought, today, the construction of highways will be connected to the north and south, and in a few years, the railway will be built. When the expropriation of railways is repeated, it will cause a change. Why not let me do evil people to the end, and simply expand the expropriation along the way, and leave it to the future construction of railways."

"Donglai is really far-sighted, not bad. Now Beijing-Tianjin Road is being built, and it is considered an engineering test. As long as it is verified appropriately, the railway will be laid out in the future. If you communicate with the north and south, this Beijing-Shenzhen Road is the top priority. If you plan ahead, you will lose a lot of trouble in the future." Li Mingxun sincerely praised.

The imperial lord started from Tianjin and headed south, and only stopped in Cangzhou and Dongguang along the way, and then entered Shandong. Because Shandong was the hometown of the royal family, there were more stops and stopped. He did not go south along the canal. He entered Jinan Prefecture from Dezhou. After lingering for half a month, he went south to Tai'an and went to Taishan to worship.

Originally, someone proposed that the emperor Taishan Fengshan be the emperor. After all, "A king received the order and changed his surname and would have to be promoted to Taishan. Why? When he was instructed to the righteous, he would be reorganized to the heaven, and the world would be peaceful, and things would become Fengshan to report peace.'. But after thinking about it, Li Mingxun chose to give up. When he was ordered to be emperor, he worshipped the ancestor of China at the Huangdi Mausoleum in Shaanxi. Naturally, there was no need to be Fengshan for the sake of receiving the order. As for the peace of the world, things would become Fengshan, it would not be of great significance. As for the time being, today, it was not the time of prosperity. If Fengshan is settled, it would be better to hand it over to the successor. Of course, Li Mingxun still did not want to engage in such feudal superstitious activities. Just thinking of the title of the Taishan God was a big deal, but through this place, necessary sacrificial activities were still indispensable. The reason why the emperor rejected this proposal was that since Emperor Zhenzong of the Song Dynasty, Fengshan had never been carried out in all dynasties.

While the emperor was huddling up to Mount Tai for sacrifice, the third prince Li Junwei sneaked out. He was obese and had no interest in climbing mountains. The prince was just with the King of Ying to accompany him. The prince led some ceremonial guards to go south to Qufu to worship Confucius. The unhappiness that occurred during the Confucius sacrifice made Li Junwei not follow him. Fortunately, it was already spring when he arrived in Mount Tai, and Li Junwei took a few guards to play on a donkey, so he was very uncomfortable.

When I happened to pass a nunnery next to the mountain road, I saw Pei Yuanqi and several noble children coming out. The nuns in the nun followed him to say goodbye, and his behavior was quite slutty. Li Junwei didn't see it carefully, so he rode a donkey and asked, "Yunqi, what are you doing in the nunnery?"

"Haha, I have been scolded a lot these days. I'm here to be pure and pure in Buddhism. Hehe..." Pei Yuanqi said with a smile.

Everyone knows what he was scolded, because he was the one who sold the car tickets along the way to move the capital. He was the reputation of making money for him, and no one could tell the difference between the prince and the third prince.

"Just just make a fool of yourself. Are those nuns? Look at your neck!" Li Junwei unceremoniously exposed Pei Yuanqi's lies, and there was a lip mark on his neck.

Pei Yuanqi was not afraid that Li Junwei would see through it. It was because of his deep brotherhood. He said, "I was so bored that I was so bored, so I was just a pastime."

It turned out that the monastery he had just entered was a nunnery on the surface, but it was actually a place of fireworks. The Taishan Guzi has been famous in recent years. Like Datong Po, Yangzhou Skin Horse and West Lake Boat Girl, it is a local brothel with local characteristics, but the Taishan Guzi has only emerged in recent years.

"Third Prince, if you are interested, we can arrange it for you..." a noble child said with a compliment.

Before he finished speaking, he slapped Pei Yuanqi: "Bastard, do you dare to take the third prince to that kind of place?"

Although Pei Yuanqi is a mess, he still has a bottom line. He always looks like a playboy on weekdays, but he is not so meant. He has done something like taking the prince to a brothel in the capital, but he is going to do business and never dare to arrange prostitution.

"Forget it, I won't mess with you. I have money in my hands? I'm in a hurry and forgot to bring it." Li Junwei waved his hand. He was young and could not be obsessed with women.

Pei Yuanqi gave Li Junwei the money bag. Li Junwei rode a donkey away. Because the emperor passed by, there was a temple fair at the foot of Mount Tai. Li Junwei was originally a person who liked to join in the fun. There were many delicious foods at the temple fair, which naturally won his favor.

"Young Master, there's a fun time to watch it." The guard suddenly ran over and said happily.

When Li Junwei heard this, his eyes lit up and asked, "What's the excitement?"

"A scammer cheated a female student for money, and she was going to hit the wall." The guard said.

Li Junwei patted the dessert in his hand and went happily. From a distance, he saw hundreds of people huddled under a big locust tree and rushed in. He saw four people dressed in students confronting a guy. The doctor was not like a doctor, and the warlock was not like a warlock. His robe was white, his beard was raised upward, there was a date pit mark between his eyebrows, and there was a banner beside him, with a hanging pot on the front and saving the world, and the back wrote, guiding the lost gentleman,

The four students are two men and two women, and they should be locals. Li Junwei seemed to remember that there were student representatives who participated in the emperor's sacrifice to Mount Tai. The four people were sixteen or seventeen years old. One of the female students had a wound on the forehead, and blood was still emitting. It was her who committed suicide by hitting the wall.

"Go and get the Jinchuang medicine to give it to this sister." Li Junwei ordered the guards and said.

"It's used, so don't bother this little brother." After the crowd, a young man got into the crowd, looked pretty, took out a bottle of medicine and handed it over to another uninjured student. After waiting for the medicine, he took the initiative to take the pulse of the injured student, and then said, "It's okay, I'm just a little shocked, I'll just have a rest."

"What do you call this big brother?" Li Junwei saw that he spoke very well and gave him a medical treatment. He liked it very much and asked.

"In the summer of Suri'an."

"Let's go down to Li Wei." Li Junwei also clasped his fists and said.

And the charlatan secretly wanted to run away under this situation, but was blocked by the onlookers. Li Junwei said, "I want to run away without saying it clearly?"

The male student who was indignant told the truth. It turned out that the parents of the four people were all fortunate to go to Mount Tai to worship. They did not have the qualifications and just wandered down the mountain. The charlatan claimed to have a heavenly eye. He knew five hundred years ago and five hundred years later. Several students did not believe it, so the charlatan made a bet with him, saying that they could write the secret on paper and put it in an envelope, so that the charlatan could see through it at a glance.

The female student didn't believe it the most, so she wrote it out. Unexpectedly, the charlatan really saw through it and said it directly. It was the female student who was honest and wrote the truth, saying that she liked a male teacher in the school. She was so openly told, she was so embarrassed and angry that she almost died of a wall.

"A scammer who pretends to be a ghost, only if you believe in you will have ghosts!" Li Junwei naturally didn't believe in these things, and said with a laugh.

The charlatan said: "My husband's pair of sky eyes..."

Seeing the evil spirit on his body radiating all over his body, Li Junwei said, "Stop bragging. Since you have this ability, let me come and have fun too."

The charlatan sneered: "Okay, you can try it."

Li Junwei picked up the paper and pen on the table and took a good look. After finding that there was nothing special, he let the guard block everyone's sight and wrote the five words "I want to fart". After writing, he put it in the envelope and handed it to the charlatan. The charlatan took the envelope and folded his hands together, held it in his hands, and sang it. He quickly looked left and right, then threw the envelope into the brazier beside him, and said to Li Junwei: "Brother, what should I not eat today? Why do you want to fart?"

"This..." Li Junwei was shocked. Seeing everyone's suspicious eyes, he felt a little embarrassed. Fortunately, he was thick-skinned and said, "I want to fart when I eat badly, what's wrong?"

Even so, he admitted that the charlatan said was true. When he was hesitating, Su Ri'an said: "Sir, let me give it a try."

The charlatan took the new paper and signaled him to try it. Su Ri'an smiled and said, "I dare not use your paper."

After saying that, he walked to the injured girl and said, "Borrow a girl's handkerchief for you."

The girl didn't know why, so she lent it to him. Su Ri'an took it in her palm, picked up the pen and wrote a few words, folded it, stuffed it into the envelope, and said, "Sir, please see with the eyes of heaven."

The charlatan suddenly became nervous. He picked up the envelope, held it with his hands, muttered something, and then began to do it, picked up the wooden sword and waved it, screaming. People watching the fun were afraid of being hurt by him, so they retreated one after another. The charlatan suddenly threw a bag into the brazier and exploded. There were firecrackers inside, and the crowd was in chaos, and the charlatan quickly ran away.
