Chapter 751

From Baisha Village to Anping Town, it took only a quarter of an hour, and Liu Hongjian saw no less than twenty copies of the slogans along the way.

In fact, this can be regarded as Zhang Guoxing's psychological warfare. Although these people are not very literate, as long as the village officials in each village teach them repeatedly tomorrow, even if these people have a lot of forgetfulness, as long as they see these slogans while walking, they will immediately remember them. It is true that forcibly indoctrinates ideas and forcibly downplays the imperial court and Confucianism.

Before arriving in Anping, the Quanzhou magistrate came to greet him in person, chatting endlessly along the way.

Now the main official road in Quanzhou has been built into a cement road under the auspices of the Qin brothers, which made Liu Hongjian very satisfied. He also asked about the progress of the Beijing-Guangzhou line.

"Reporting to the lord, the southern line has basically been completed now, but many people have reported that the new official road will break the horse's hoof." Meng Liangchen, the prefect of Quanzhou, dared not hide it and bowed his head.

Official roads were originally not allowed to be used by common people and merchants, but the imperial court issued a special notice that anyone can use the new official roads, provided that they pay money.

The toll fee is not much, ten cents per [-] miles can basically be paid by the common people as long as they don’t travel long distances, and the new official road is extremely smooth, the carriage no longer needs to be bumpy, and it is very popular among the common people. Yes merchants are welcome.

But it didn't take long for someone to discover that the new official road was particularly harmful to horses. First of all, the horseshoes. The ground of the new official road was so hard that the horseshoes lost their buffer, and the horseshoes would make it easy to slip.

The general speed is not bad, and the slow one is very comfortable, but if someone in a hurry wants to speed up the horse, basically the horse will not run for long before the horse has to be replaced because the knee cannot bear it.

"Well...that's a problem." Liu Hongjian frowned.

Still a tricky question!

Because at the beginning, no one thought that it was the first time for the people from the Ministry of Industry to build this kind of road, and Liu Hongjian simply took the idea of ​​future generations too much for granted.

After all, later generations use rubber tires, wait a minute... rubber?
"Chang Yu, is there any news about rubber trees from Xishan Shanghe?" Liu Hongjian turned his head and asked Chang Yu who was behind him.

At the beginning of the year, Liu Hongjian greeted the British public Zhang Weixian and the others, and sent people to South America on a special trip to search for rubber trees in the Amazon jungle.

This thing is of great help to Daming, whose industry has already started. If rubber can be successfully planted in Guangdong, Guangxi, Yunnan, and Hainan, at least it can solve the current problem of the new official road.

The wooden wheels of the carriage no longer have to touch the ground head-on, and even the horseshoes can be replaced with rubber products, which can prevent slipping and also play a certain role in shock absorption.

"My lord, not yet, we have been floating in the sea, maybe it's because the news hasn't come through."

Chang Yu has always been in charge of the news contact, including Jin Yiwei and Xishan Shanghe, and any urgent matters are passed on through him.

Liu Hongjian thought about it too, so he had no choice but to return to the capital to ask questions, and then the group went straight back to Anping.

Seeing Liu Hongjian coming back, the two daughters Li Xiangjun and Dong Xiaowan who were in a daze in the yard hurried up to meet him. Seeing that Liu Hongjian was still following Zheng Sen, the two daughters put away their doubts and gave a salute.

"Brother, these two are..." Zheng Sen couldn't help being stunned when he saw the two beautiful women welcoming him, and then turned his head away feeling a little rude.

"These are your two sisters-in-law. Xiaowan, hurry up and cook some specialty dishes. I have been traveling for a long time for my husband, but I haven't tasted your cooking for some days." Liu Hongjian handed the eyes to the second daughter and said in the evening.

Of course Zheng Sen recognized these two women. After all, he was a well-known son and rich second generation in Nanjing back then. He was just surprised why these two talented women who once dominated Nanjing appeared here.

Revisiting the old place is also very complicated for Zheng Sen. This used to be his home, but now his father has passed away. In almost a year, the Zheng family was beaten to the door by the Europa people.

The reason why Liu Hongjian arranged Zheng Sen in Anping's mansion was that he didn't treat Zheng Sen as an outsider, and that he was going back to Beijing with his two daughters in the next two days. Returned to its original owner.

But who knows that Zheng Sen tried his best to refuse, maybe because he saw things and thought about others, and he refused to accept anything.

And if the trip to the capital goes smoothly, he will probably live in Taiwan in the future. Liu Hongjian is also a happy person. After all, they are both brothers. His home is Zheng Sen's home, and there is no estrangement between the two of them.

Liu Hongjian was eager to return home, so he arranged for someone to pack his bags that night, and left Anping with Li Xiangjun the next day.

He did not take the water route with the Beiyang Navy, but chose the land route. He had to personally check whether the quality of the new official road passed the test, and the land route was not slower than the water route.

All the way without talking, on August [-]th, Liu Hongjian, who had been away from the capital for three months, came to the door of his house again.

The second daughter stood at the gate of the mansion, hesitating, they knew their identities, and Liu Hongjian was the current prince, and now they wanted to go in to see the real mistress, how could the second daughter let go.

Even though Li Xiangjun has a free and easy temper, the current situation makes her unable to move forward, let alone Dong Xiaowan.

"Go in, this will be your home from now on." Seeing the second daughter hesitate, Liu Hongjian squeezed the second daughter's hand and said.

Before Liu Hongjian finished speaking, Sun Xiuxiu and his daughters who had learned of Liu Hongjian's return had already come out to greet him, and the one who ran in the front was Liu Aotian, the heir of the palace, at least he thought so.

"Daddy!" Liu Aotian, who was already three years old, shouted while running.

But before he ran to Liu Hongjian, he saw a black shadow go ahead of him, and rushed towards Liu Hongjian with a whoosh.

Whether it's Fat Tiger or someone else, don't look at this guy who is lazy every day, but he is very clever and knows who is its real owner.

Liu Hongjian stroked Pang Hu's head a few times to show comfort, and Pang Hu rubbed Liu Hongjian's ankle for a while before squatting again at the door of the house.

Liu Hongjian picked up Liu Aotian and looked at Sun Xiuxiu and the others with a smile.

"The concubine has met the three sisters." Li Xiangjun tugged Dong Xiaowan's sleeve, stepped forward and saluted.

"You two sisters are so polite, come in quickly, this place will be our home from now on." Sun Xiuxiu hurriedly pulled up the second daughter and said with a smile.

The two daughters Li Xiangjun and Dong Xiaowan breathed a sigh of relief. As Ling people, they had seen many arrogant and unreasonable ladies, but seeing Sun Xiuxiu being so amiable, they were slightly taken aback for a while.

"Great, Xiao Jiu is not the youngest at last." Kun Xing was pregnant, but still remained innocent, and took a step forward to hold Dong Xiaowan's hand before entering the door.

"Hmph! You are so naughty even when you are pregnant, you are the youngest, just be your youngest!" Liu Hongjian pinched Kunxing's pretty face and said affectionately.

A man's mouth is a deceitful ghost. Liu Hongjian always thought it was pure nonsense. He always thought that he was a single-minded person.

But before he knew it, he was already a man with five wives, which surprised even himself.

It doesn't matter if you say it is forced by the times, or you say it is wrong, but you will become a deceiving ghost after all.

"Husband, why do you say that? You are a person who does great things. You have me in your heart, and I am already very content." Sun Xiuxiu seemed to know what Liu Hongjian was thinking, and rubbed her face against Liu Hongjian's hand.

She didn't ask for much, and she didn't feel owed. On the contrary, it was Liu Hongjian's self-criticism that warmed her heart.

With a wife like this, what more can a husband ask for? Liu Hongjian sighed, and vowed that in the future, he would keep his life clean and keep his body clean.

"By the way, sir, do you know that His Majesty has added three princes and two princesses in the past three months." Sun Xiuxiu changed the subject.

"what?"
