Chapter 853 The scenery on the mountain

Looking at the mud along the way, Emperor Chongzhen turned to look at Liu Xingzuo and asked, "Where is Liu Mao?"

Daming Road and Bridge Company is headed by Liu Mao. Last year, the road from the capital to Tongzhou was repaired with cement, and then went south to the south of the Yangtze River to investigate which road sections most needed cement, and raised shares in the local area for road construction.From the final report, Liu Mao should be in the Suzhou area and is still choosing a route.

"If you go back to the master, it should be in Nanxun Town. It seems that they are still negotiating." Liu Xingzuo immediately replied according to Jin Yiwei's news, "There are many rivers in the south of the Yangtze River, and the transportation in many places is by boat."

So, this time in the past, we should be able to meet.Emperor Chongzhen was thinking about it, and he was going to see how Daming Road and Bridge Company was doing.

Speaking of which, the application of cement, logically speaking, should be more practical in the south.But in the past year, it has flourished in the north, but it has not been popular in the south.As far as the reason is concerned, it is because the cement was invented and demonstrated in the capital by himself, and he used administrative orders to build houses on a large scale in Guihua City for the winter. Therefore, the focus of cement construction is actually in the north.

In this era, whether it is the transmission of information or the speed of transportation, it is incomparable with later generations.A new thing, no matter whether it is practical or not, still needs time to be passed on.

Thinking this way, Emperor Chongzhen and others drove their horses forward, and not long after, they saw a hill in front of them.The official road winds up the mountain, and there are buildings on the top of the mountain.

Fang Zhenghua was a martial artist with sharper eyes than others, so he immediately said to Emperor Chongzhen, "My lord, there is a tea shop on the mountain ahead."

We have already traveled for a while, and everyone is concerned about the emperor's body, and they dare not let the emperor be too tired, so after hearing Fang Zhenghua's words, Concubine Tian Gui immediately asked Emperor Chongzhen: "My lord, I am a little tired, let's go Then rest your feet?"

Emperor Chongzhen saw Concubine Tian Gui's energetic appearance, she didn't seem to be half tired, and he knew their kindness very well, so he couldn't help but smiled and said: "Forget it, let's go to the meeting."

Riding a horse is fast, and it doesn't take long for a group of twenty to ride to the top of the hill.

There are many hills and waterways in the south of the Yangtze River. Compared with the north, there are few endless plains. They are two completely different landscapes.But this hill might be relatively high. Standing on the top of the hill, there is a boundless scenery, only far away is blocked by the mountains.Within sight, there are farmland and water villages, horses and boats, and several villages and cities looming in sight.The characteristics of the scenery in the south of the Yangtze River are undoubtedly revealed here.

Emperor Chongzhen saw it, and couldn't help but smiled and said: "The people here really know how to do business, and they set up a tea shop in such a good place. Look, this way, you have to go up the mountain. Ordinary people just feel a little tired. There is a higher probability of stopping here for a drink of tea."

While talking, he pointed to the large-scale tea shop in front of him and said, "Look, this tea shop has different treatments. Under this long shop, it is a place for ordinary people to rest. As long as there is a seat, they can A big pot of tea is enough for shelter from the wind and rain. But on the side with the best view, the grade is obviously higher..."

Everyone listened to the emperor's introduction with great interest, and they all showed great interest. They turned their eyes and nodded in response to the emperor's instructions.It has to be said that the Jiangnan family really knows how to do business. If the emperor hadn't reminded them one by one, many of them would not have discovered the truth.

When he got off his horse, a man came out from inside with a smile.A group of more than 20 riders is definitely a distinguished guest, and I dare not neglect in the slightest.

Emperor Chongzhen and his party, of course, would not rest at Changpu, and were led to the location with the best view.At this time, it was almost noon, the sun was shining brightly, the line of sight was just right, and there were already many people here.Looking at them, they seem to be scholars around, but they seem a little special.

After a little more observation, Emperor Chongzhen understood that these young people were wearing silk and satin clothes with various patterns on them, shining like women's clothes.Looking at the group of people like me, even if Concubine Tian Gui was wearing it, it was just plain and unpretentious clothes.

The tables with the best views have already been occupied by previous visitors.Seeing them talking about sex one by one, it seems that they know each other.When they saw Emperor Chongzhen and his party passing by, they paid more or less attention to it.But they didn't speak, and there was even a little disdain in someone's eyes.

This made Fang Zhenghua very annoyed, so he wanted to go forward and chase people away.However, Emperor Chongzhen noticed it, shook his head secretly, walked over first, and chose a slightly better seat to sit.Except for a dozen plainclothes guards in Jin Yi who stayed in front and did not come, Liu Xingzuo and Fang Zhenghua followed closely beside the emperor with the rest.However, they didn't dare to sit at the same table with the emperor, and the other Jinyi guards sat at the table by themselves, while Liu Xingzuo and Fang Zhenghua stood beside the emperor and the imperial concubine to wait on them, and only the imperial doctor who accompanied him sat down.

Xiaoer stepped forward and announced the price of the tea, which surprised Emperor Chongzhen slightly.Regarding the concept of consumption power, he used to go on tour in micro-services in the capital, and he also had a lot of meals, so he probably knows something about it.Unexpectedly, the price of tea on this mountain is divided into many grades. The highest grades are almost comparable to the most expensive tea shops in the capital.

Of course, Emperor Chongzhen would not be able to afford it, so he naturally ordered Xiaoer's favorite Longjing and some pastries.In terms of safety, Jin Yiwei is in charge, and someone over there is secretly monitoring the whole process.After the tea and cakes were served, the imperial doctor immediately ate some to make sure that they were correct before the emperor and imperial concubine ate them.

Emperor Chongzhen and Concubine Tian Gui didn't care about eating, they were more looking at the scenery outside, after all, this kind of scenery can't be seen in the north.

Or if they got close, the Emperor Chongzhen heard that those people were not talking about poetry and Ci, but comparing others.

For example, one was boasting about where the material of his clothes came from, and the embroidery on the clothes was done by a famous teacher. These workmanship and so on are simply amazing.

The other one was introducing the tea set he brought himself, saying that it was fired by a ceramic master himself, and the pattern on the tea set was the work of another master.

……

Others are introducing the tea he brought, how many processes involved, from picking to baking, and even boasting that his tea has a frankincense flavor, which is the result of a young girl with yellow flowers after the tea has just emerged. At that time, I picked it up and put it in my chest to store the income...

The remarks of these people made Emperor Chongzhen frowned.
