...

The highway mileage is 5,198,100 kilometers.

The highway mileage is 161,000 kilometers.

The railway mileage is 141,400 kilometers.

The high-speed rail mileage is 36,000 kilometers.

The four sets of numbers have grown rapidly in just a few decades, but the number is still growing.

It is one of the indispensable and even crucial elements and key factors that promote the rapid development of society in that era.

If you want to be rich, build roads first!

It took several generations from martyrs to the entire people to confirm this.

Zhu Zhanji could not build a steam engine, nor could he develop the entire industry like a fantasy.

This will take decades and be achieved through the joint efforts of several generations.

Even the nation that has been tortured and stood up from the ruins has only stood at the peak of the world after decades of struggle by generations.

It doesn't make sense that Zhu Zhanji can accomplish it with his so-called status as a royal noble, or the so-called aura of kings or the so-called protagonist.

This is reality, not a novel.

So, from the beginning, he chose this famous saying, "If you want to be rich, you must first build a road."

The convenience of the road will greatly promote the circulation of social materials. The speed of material circulation will actively promote and stimulate producers to accelerate output and expand production capacity.

Convenient transportation will also bring huge wealth accumulation to producers in a shorter time.

In this way, the total wealth value of the overall society will increase at a faster rate.

When the overall wealth of society continues to accumulate and reaches a certain critical point, the innovation of society and the development of industrial science and technology will change from passive to active.

Human beings are a species full of wisdom but always lazy.

Therefore, they ate raw meat and drank blood from the primitive races, and through the slash-and-burn and fire-like era, and finally reached the information age.

What I do is to make your own life more convenient and comfortable.

The cement road in front of me, which is only one meter wide, half a foot thick, and only one mile long, was the first real gift that Zhu Zhanji had devoted himself to the people of this era.

Song Li, the Minister of Works, who was walking in the front, seemed more energetic than before, and his legs were rubbed with force, and in the blink of an eye, he was already on the cement road.

flat!

solid!

Standing on the concrete road, Song Li stepped on the road with his feet heavily, and the strong shock made him smile, with his mouth wide open, and smiled like a child.

Gradually, Song Li became a little moved, his eyes gradually became rosy and tears were visible to the naked eye.

"I remember that back then, the old minister was still young and had just started school. My husband's house was far away from my house. In addition to doing housework, my mother had to make more new shoes for me whenever she had free time.

It is because the country roads are muddy, bumpy and difficult to walk. If you don’t have shoes, you will definitely hurt your feet.

My mother's eyes gradually became unable to see things clearly from then on..."

In the end, Song Li couldn't help but close his eyes.

Everyone following him quietly calmed down.

Xia Yuanji was a little infected, and his throat choked several times, and finally laughed out loud: "Big Boss! Today's Ming Dynasty is stronger than the next generation. If this road continues to be implemented, the poor scholars in the world will never be blocked by the road. This is the real road to the sky!"

Song Li listened.

The old man focused his attention, then turned around, faced everyone, and looked at the prince present.

The old man clasped his fists and bowed deeply: "Crown Prince, the old minister is now more than fifty years old. After careful calculation, he can still be in the court for more than ten years. The old minister didn't ask for much. In the future, he just wanted to build a path with peace of mind and promote this cement road to the world! In this way, the old minister can rest in peace in his life!"

Zhu Gaochi has now lost a lot of weight and his body is stronger. He hurried forward and dragged Song Li out, held the other party's arms, and responded solemnly.

"My elder, ten years are too short! You should live a hundred years old. When you reach one hundred years old, you must also pay attention to the Ministry of Works for my family! Then you and I will take this cement road, go to the nine borders, to the Western Regions, and to the southern Xinjiang to see my country and country in the Ming Dynasty!"

Song Li was stunned for a moment. I don’t know if he could do it if he lived a long life, but the cement roads were all over the Ming Dynasty, and he believed that it was possible.

Surely!

Zhu Zhanji was on the side, pursing his lips, and the corners of his lips raised slightly. Looking at the scene of harmony between the king and the minister in front of him, he felt that he was born at the right time and that this trip was not in vain for the first time.

"Sir, next, it's time to verify the load-bearing capacity of this cement road." Zhu Zhanji reminded softly.

Song Li quickly woke up and nodded repeatedly: "What the grandson said is that the old minister was excited and abrupt. Hurry up, I think the grandson has made arrangements."

As he said that, Song Li had already retreated to the side of the road and seemed very excited.

Undoubtedly, the function of roads is to communicate with places, but more importantly, it is used to carry goods.

If a road is built extremely flat, but if a small carriage can press out two grooves, it is useless.

Everyone also understood and retreated to the side of the road at the same time.

In that case, Zhu Mo and other young men in Riyue Hall were prepared.

At this time, at one end of the road, there were already several carriages, trucks, and a team of war horses, ready.

The first one to play was the war horse team.

There is no doubt that war horses represent the army's ability to pass through and how they will behave on cement roads.

On the moment of the war, there were the teenagers of Sun and Moon Hall, with a firmness and youthful vitality on their young cheeks.

Zhu Xiu acted as the flag bearer on the side.

A flag in his hand waved violently.

In an instant, the horse team was like a thunderous explosion, and like a lightning bolt. When it started, it was like an arrow leaving the string, and in the blink of an eye it passed by everyone's eyes.

A gust of wind blew the people on the roadside, their clothes fluttering constantly.

But everyone's faces were filled with excitement and disbelief.

I saw that there were no horse hoof marks that would appear on the official road where the war horses trampled over. There were only a few simple white marks on the entire cement road.

Before everyone can calm down.

Several carriages have also started to move there.

There are carriages carrying people and carriages that pull goods, and the things loaded are different.

The carriage that walked at the end, although it used four horses, still walked the slowest, showing the heavy load of goods in the rear carriage.

The carriage in front has already walked past his eyes, while the carriage behind is still moving slowly.

"What are the things installed in this car?" Song Li asked with concern.

Zhu Zhanji smiled slightly and replied faintly: "It's filled with iron ingots."

Iron ingots!

Song Li's heart moved and asked quickly: "Do you know how heavy it is?"

"Fifty thousand taels?" Zhu Zhanji was a little unsure: "It was all done by Zhu Mo and the others, but I think it would not be lower than this number..."

Fifty thousand taels!

Song Li was shocked all over, already very surprised, and now he was particularly stunned.

He had already started to convert in his mind.

How many kilograms is 50,000 taels?

How many stones are there?

Before he could figure it out, he had tiptoed, poked his head, and looked at the place where the wheels of the carriage had touched the ground.

There are still no indentation!

Song Li's hands began to tremble.

If so, how many unnecessary transportation expenses can be reduced by the taxes, money and grain collected by the court from various places!

Just this account is no longer something he can calculate clearly.

Around them, whether it is the Minister of Revenue Xia Yuanji, the Crown Prince, the Crown Prince, the Crown Princess, or the Hongyi. Wen Xiang and Sun Ruowei, they obviously knew the powerful relationship.

Everyone was waiting, watching the last carriage slowly passing by.

Until the carriage stopped steadily at the other end of the road, everyone had not yet woken up.

After a long time, Zhu Zhanji only listened to the surroundings, and a breath of breath sounded.

Xia Yuanji was the first to react and immediately spoke: "Taisun, how much does this road cost? How much does this road cost?"

The cost of this road?

Of course not low...

Because it uses the manpower of the Ming Dynasty, it pays a lot of money and food...
