Daming: Refining zombies at the beginning, Lao Zhu was shocked

Lao Jiu became popular in Han Dynasty, and while the vassal kings rushed to imitate him, there were bound to be many vassal kings who were jealous!

Just like the fourth child Zhu Di, Zhu Yuanzhang knew with his toes that Zhu Di must be unconvinced!

But if you are not convinced, you are not convinced, but the Hanzhong model is really good. If you are not convinced, you still have to learn it, which is very irritating!

But Zhu Yuanzhang can also see that the fifth brother Zhu Ru really admires the ninth brother, which is good!

"Dad, why don't you stay in Kaifeng Mansion for a few more days?"

“It’s been hard traveling during this time!”

Zhu Xi suggested to Zhu Yuanzhang at this time.

The old man finally got out of Yingtian. This time he passed by Kaifeng Mansion. Naturally, he hoped that the old man could stay in Kaifeng for a longer time!

"No, let's have a night's rest. We have to continue our journey tomorrow morning!"

"Finish the business as soon as possible, and let's return to the capital early. Your eldest brother is in charge of Ruoda's court alone, and we're afraid he won't be able to handle it!"

Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand directly, he would not really stay in Kaifeng Mansion for long.

It was getting dark when we arrived in Kaifeng today, so there was nothing wrong with resting for one night at Lao Wu.

If it were broad daylight, he would at most just have a few words with Zhu Zhu and continue on his way!

After hearing this, Zhu Xi also knew that he could not change what the old man had decided, so he did not try to persuade him to stay.

Early the next morning, Zhu Yuanzhang and his team set out again. Zhu Yu just sent Zhu Yuanzhang out, but was ordered to stop by Zhu Yuanzhang.

He naturally also saw that Zhu Xi definitely wanted to go to Hanzhong with him, but currently he was not allowed to take any of his sons to Hanzhong. He did not take Zhu Biao with him, let alone his other sons!

When the showdown with Lao Jiu comes back and all the things that need to be discussed are settled, there will finally be a chance to call all these sons back!

Starting from Kaifeng Mansion, the team went directly onto the cement road, all the way to Hanzhong, and no longer had to endure the bumpy ride before!

Zhu Yuanzhang was naturally very satisfied with this.

"This is why cement roads are so comfortable. All the bumpy official roads in Ming Dynasty should really be repaired!"

“But we need these rubber tires to maximize the benefits of the cement road!”

“It’s a pity that it will be several years before those rubber trees can be harvested!”

Zhu Yuanzhang felt the smoothness of the luxury carriage driving on the cement road, and couldn't help but sigh again.

In addition, the horseshoes covered with rubber will basically not make a very noticeable sound of the horseshoes, and the movement will be much smaller. Even if you want to lie down and sleep on the carriage, you will not be unable to sleep due to too much noise. !

Zhu Yuanzhang's mood, which was originally in a bad mood due to the bumpy journey, began to improve!

What's more important is that we will arrive in Hanzhong soon, and then we can meet Lao Jiu's family!

In addition to Lao Jiu, there is also the prairie genius Yegorut... No, his name should be Zhu Xifeng now!

There are also Zhu Xiaqiang, the most handsome man in the Ming Dynasty, and Zhu Xiaye, the tyrant who was criticized by later generations as the most murderous tyrant in the Ming Dynasty!

In Lao Jiu's life, he had a total of four sons and two daughters!

In addition to Cao's two sons, Li and Saijia Sutushan both gave birth to two daughters respectively for Lao Jiu!

And among the four sons of Lao Jiu, it can be said that each one is extremely talented!

It's a pity that Zhu Xiaqiu was the first to die among the four brothers!

Zhu Xiayan and Zhu Xiaye both lived for more than a hundred years!

Even the boss Zhu Xifeng, although he did not live to be a hundred years old, still lived to be over ninety years old!

However, with Lao Jiu's ability, even if Zhu Xiaqiu dies, his Emperor Soul will still be put into the Emperor Soul Tower by Lao Jiu, which is another form of living!

It seems that after the death of these four sons, Lao Jiu, the Emperor Soul will wake up again in the Emperor Soul Tower!

But Zhu Yuanzhang has nothing to envy!

Needless to say, he himself will definitely be sent to the Emperor Soul Tower by Lao Jiu after his death!

Just ask Lao Jiu to put Zhu Biao's soul into the Emperor Soul Tower!

Thinking like this, Zhu Yuanzhang felt even more relaxed!

Going west, it seems that because of the construction of cement roads, Zhu Yuanzhang also discovered that the flow of people on these cement roads began to increase!

These have been repaired cement roads, and there will be a toll station every hundred miles!

Ordinary people, of course, there is no charge!

But those who ride horses are charged according to the number of horses, and the carriages of passing caravans are charged according to the weight of the goods!

It is said that there are floor scales specially used for weighing in these toll stations, which were also invented by Lao Jiu. As long as the carriage goes up, the weight can be weighed!

Each section of the journey will be charged a fee, so you don’t have to worry about someone falsely reporting the distance!

Of course, the emperor Zhu Yuanzhang's team was free of charge. According to the rules, court vehicles and horses could use the cement road for free, not to mention the emperor!

The charges are mainly targeted at merchants!

Cement roads have brought them convenience. While they can earn more, they should also pay some tolls. After all, building roads also costs money!

If the road was built with money from the imperial court, then the tolls would naturally be handed over to the imperial court!

When Zhu Yuanzhang saw the merchants obediently paying money at the toll station, he couldn't help but smile!

This is all free money!

After tomorrow, all cement roads will be built, and the toll collected every day will probably be a huge amount!

The auspicious words of the National Destiny are indeed correct. If you want to get rich, build roads first!

Zhu Yuanzhang even discovered that many local people seemed to have discovered business opportunities, and many vendors started to set up shop on both sides of the cement road!

For example, there are tea and wine shops, and some sell all kinds of food and gadgets in baskets!

This can be regarded as a scenic spot along the cement road!

Local yamen will also plan specific areas to set up stalls for these people, but they will be charged!

Because the yamen still have to hire people to maintain law and order. After all, these cement roads are all built outside the city. There may be some robbers and the like. There are people from the official family who can protect these ordinary people from being harassed by bandits!

In fact, Zhu Yuanzhang believed that it would not take long, as long as all the cement roads in various parts of the Ming Dynasty were built, there would definitely be fewer and fewer bandits in various parts of the Ming Dynasty!

After all, you can get a bite of food by setting up a stall on the roadside, so why bother robbing families and homes with your head in your belt?

As the economy develops, there will definitely be fewer petty thefts, robbers, and gangsters!

Passing on the cement road, the entire team's speed also accelerated a lot.

After Zhu Yuanzhang drove for two days, he heard from Jiang Wei that he was about to enter the border of Shaanxi!

We can reach Xi'an in two days at most!

If we travel quickly from Xi'an to Hanzhong, it will only take less than a day. For such a large team, it will only take two days at most!
