Chapter 648

"Mother, these feet are dirty." Emperor Yongtai said in a low voice.

"I'm your mother, so I'm still afraid of getting dirty?" The queen mother looked at him with deep eyes and said.

Emperor Yongtai stretched out his foot, even though the Empress Dowager carefully unfastened the straw sandals for him, he still grinned from the pain.

After taking off the straw sandals, the Queen Mother raised his feet and looked at them, "It's red, but luckily it's not broken, otherwise you'll suffer from it." She took out the medicine from the medicine box and said, "I'll apply it to you to relieve the pain. Swollen."

"I'll do it myself, I'll do it myself." Emperor Yongtai said quickly upon seeing this.

"Okay, this carriage is cramped, so don't move around." The queen mother poured the viscous medicinal liquid on her hands and touched both of his feet.

The cold liquid makes the hot feet feel much more comfortable.

"I thought you would continue to walk bravely?" The queen mother raised her eyebrows and looked at him in surprise.

"I have nothing to hide from my mother. My mother has prepared so well, she must have expected it." Yongtai Emperor looked at her with a light smile and said, "Why should I suffer so badly!"

"How do you feel now?" The Queen Mother looked at him amusedly and said, "You have learned a lot!"

"It's grown, it's grown! What green bamboo hats, green coir raincoats, slanting wind and drizzle, don't have to return, when the fisherman is drunk and forgets to return. Gentle wind and drizzle, cooking smoke curling up, the beauty is so enchanting, the beauty of the countryside is deceiving." Yongtai Di looked at his feet and said, "My feet hurt so much."

"Hehe..." The queen mother smiled unkindly, "It really makes those pampered people experience the real countryside, and they can't stay for a day."

"Agriculture is the foundation of the country, and they really have to understand it." Emperor Yongtai looked at her with dark eyes and said seriously.

The queen mother smiled and shook her head looking at the innocence, "How do you feel? Let the princes dress up like you, and go to the fields with hoes on their shoulders!" Looking at the bright sun, she said, "Don't fall down one by one. "

"If you don't go to the field, you have to be stuck on the ridge of the field." Emperor Yongtai said with a soft snort.

"I'm used to wearing silk and satin, but I'm not used to wearing coarse linen clothes." The queen mother looked at the coarse and short brown clothes on his body and said, "Is it comfortable?"

"Uncomfortable, prickly! It's even more uncomfortable when you're sweating." Emperor Yongtai said honestly, twisting and saying, "I don't think it's okay for the common people to wear it?" Looking at Shen Zhouheng, he said, "Is Master Shen comfortable to wear?" ?”

"I'm used to it. I'm not afraid of rough skin and thick flesh." Shen Zhouheng, who was named, turned his head to look at Emperor Yongtai and replied seriously.

"Where's uncle!" Emperor Yongtai looked at Fang Beichen curiously and asked.

"Chen?" Fang Beichen was taken aback when he heard the words, and then said, "After I practiced, this coarse linen clothes are nothing compared to those who are crawling and rolling in the mud."

"In the mud?" Emperor Yongtai looked at him in surprise and said, suddenly raised his voice, "Practice in the mud."

"Yes! You have to adapt to all the harsh environments." Fang Beichen said while driving the carriage.

"Does uncle want to practice too?" Emperor Yongtai asked curiously.

"Practice! Even more ruthless than soldiers." Fang Beichen said calmly.

"Why? You are my uncle!" Emperor Yongtai looked at him with raised brows and said, "With my big backer, I walked sideways in the army."

"Yes! With the emperor here, no one in the army would dare to mess with you." Fang Beichen admitted frankly.

Surprise flashed in Shen Zhouheng's eyes, and he actually admitted that he relied on his background.

"Your Majesty, the army relies more on strength to speak, and the soldiers have to be convinced. Just because the Emperor is here, I can't embarrass the Emperor." Fang Beichen looked at the road ahead with clear eyes, "Be careful, we have to go through the pit gone."

"Oh!" Even Emperor Yongtai was caught off guard even though he was prepared. He was tall and tall, and his head hit the roof of the car with a bang.

"Son, are you alright!" The Queen Mother looked at Emperor Yongtai worriedly.

Fang Beichen hurriedly pulled the reins to slow down the speed of the car, and looked back, "It's the minister who neglected his duty and didn't drive the car well."

"Don't care about uncle." Emperor Yongtai patted his head and said, "It's not bagged, the roof is soft." Looking at the Queen Mother, he said, "I'm fine. My head is too high." Pointing to the roof of the car, he said , "See if you sit up straight and your body almost hits you." Looking at the queen mother with concern, she said, "Mother, you didn't bump into it, did you?"

"No, I'm short." The queen mother joked to herself.

"Hehe..." Emperor Yongtai smiled, looked at the Huangtu Road and restrained his smile, "This road is too bad! It's not as good as the bluestone slabs in the city." Said with a serious face, "This road It has to be fixed."

"Where did you get so many bluestone slabs!" The queen mother looked at him and asked directly, "It costs money to build roads."

"Uh..." Emperor Yongtai, who was shy in his pocket, was blocked for a long time and said, "It can be flattened!" He scratched his head and said, "I remembered that it was said in the book that this city wall needs to be rammed and flattened." of."

"It's impossible." Shen Zhouheng said after hearing the words.

"Why?" Emperor Yongtai looked at him puzzled and asked.

"How many people climbed this city wall, and this road was stepped on by tens of millions of people." Shen Zhouheng said simply, "Not only people, but also horses, carriages, and trucks. The weight is different, and it is difficult for the road to bear. If the difference is different, it will cause potholes." Then he said, "It's even worse when it rains, it's muddy."

"Then how to repair this road?" Emperor Yongtai frowned and thought hard.

"At present, there is no good solution? Only the bluestone slabs paved in the city are the best." Shen Zhou said, looking directly at him.

Emperor Yongtai slapped his thigh, looked at them with bright eyes and said, "The bluestone must be enough, you think the Great Wall can afford bluestone!"

"Hehe..." The Queen Mother looked at her silly son with a smile and said, "How long is the Great Wall? How far is the official road from south to north? Besides, the Great Wall is not crowded with people every day."

"Master, some parts of the Great Wall are made of bluestone, and more are made of earth rammed walls." Fang Beichen said with a smile in his eyes.

"Ah!" Emperor Yongtai's happy face suddenly collapsed.

"What's going on in your little head?" The Queen Mother looked at him amusedly and said, "Why do you want to build roads!"

"After the road is repaired, we don't have to rely on the canal to transport grain from the south." Emperor Yongtai said simply, looking at them with black and white eyes.

The empress dowager's dark eyes flickered lightly when she heard the words, that time the disaster victims surrounded the capital was truly unforgettable for him.

"Silly boy, where is the money for road construction?" The Queen Mother looked at him tenderly and said, "If you really encounter difficulties in transporting food, then ship it by sea."

"I don't know why it's so difficult to ship by sea! It's like digging their ancestral graves, and everyone wrote a letter against it." Emperor Yongtai blew his beard and stared angrily.
