Almighty Nongmen Phoenix

Chapter 712;
Lu Yaoyao didn't know how many times he had heard this kind of praise.

I've gotten used to it a long time ago, but the one in front of me is the emperor. Although he praised him so much, Lu Yaoyao couldn't follow suit.

"The emperor was joking. It's just a small building in the mountains. I dare not compare it with the palace."

"If the emperor hadn't given this hill to my courtiers, my courtiers wouldn't be able to have this shelter."

Emperor Hongwen came here out of nowhere today, and Lu Yaoyao was full of doubts in his heart.

I'm afraid he has other thoughts, so let's be humble.

"This place is great. It would be great if I could live in such a place in my old age."

Seemingly seeing Lu Yaoyao's carelessness, Emperor Hongwen just glanced at her and said this as if joking.

However, Lu Yaoyao was a little dazed in his heart, so he didn't answer, and directly invited Emperor Hongwen to enter the villa in the middle of the mountain.

Coming to the balcony on the second floor, Emperor Hongwen stood in front of the huge floor-to-ceiling windows, looking into the distance, and remained silent for a long time.

He didn't speak, neither did Lu Yaoyao, Cheng Lixue and Wen Miaomiao beside him didn't dare to speak.

"By the way, I remember asking you to help me build a small building like this. What is it like now?"

"The construction has been started for some time, and it is estimated that it should be completed by the end of next year."

Now the engineering team of the villa has been fully expanded by many people, and thousands of people are busy on the construction site every day.

Because it was building a house for the emperor, there was no shortage of money and materials, so the progress was much faster than Lu Yaoyao's initial estimate.

And the engineering team still plans to continue recruiting people. After all, they want to be bigger and stronger, and 2000 people are far from enough.

Now Lu Kang is in charge of the engineering team. With the blueprint planned by Lu Yaoyao, he also found that this is a very promising thing, so he plans to speed up and grow.

For this reason, he also suggested to Lu Yaoyao to build more brick kilns, porcelain kilns, and workshops for firing cement and lime.

After all, these are all things that are required for engineering.

Naturally, Lu Yaoyao would not object to this, not only did he not object, he even suggested that they go to some relatively large cities in other places to establish such workshops.

It can also be regarded as paving the way for the development of the engineering team in advance. After all, it is impossible for all the materials to go out from the capital, and the transportation along the way also requires a lot of expenses. Get a workshop.

Even if they are temporarily unavailable, can't they be sold to some local people in need?

"Thanks for your hard work."

"By the way, on the way up the mountain just now, I saw that your road was well built. It was very smooth and hard. Did you use cement?"

Lu Yaoyao nodded with a smile.

The matter of cement and blue bricks is no secret. After all, many people from around the capital will come to her to buy these materials.

"When I left the palace today, I walked all the way and found that the roads in many places are not easy to walk."

"This cement is so easy to use. I want the Ministry of Industry to buy a batch and use it to build the capital and surrounding roads. What do you think?"

Hearing this, Lu Yaoyao was startled, does she still need to read this thing?

She is a businessman, you can use it if you want, as long as you give me money.

However, it is naturally impossible to say such words directly.

"Of course it's great. Isn't that the old saying? If you want to get rich, build roads first."

"The courtier feels that not only the capital needs to be cultivated, but even some official roads need to be cultivated. If the road is easy to walk, it will be more convenient for caravans and common people to appear, and it will be more convenient for many goods to be transported."

Emperor Hongwen nodded when he heard the words, but he also asked in confusion; "Is there such an old saying? Why haven't I heard it before?"

"Find someone, I don't remember when I heard someone say it."

"It's a very reasonable sentence, but it still needs to be taken slowly. After I go back today, I will ask the Minister of the Ministry of Industry to come over to discuss this matter with you."

Dongzhou's finances are not bad now, especially since there have been no natural disasters in the past two years, and the treasury has some surplus.

Emperor Hongwen stayed in the villa for more than an hour, but he didn't say anything special, just chatting and walking around the villa.

After sending Emperor Hongwen away, Cheng Lixue let out a deep breath.

"Why did the emperor come running over suddenly? I was so scared that I didn't dare to speak just now."

After all, she is a native of Dongzhou, and has had a deep awe of imperial power since she was a child, so when facing Emperor Hongwen, Cheng Lixue's jumpy temperament also restrained a lot.

"I don't know, maybe I just came out to take a look after being bored in the palace, or maybe I came out to relax because I have too many troubles."

"It should be out to relax."

Wen Miaomiao spoke with some certainty.

After all, it has been widely known that Prince Li is occupying the Northland to rebel. As the king of a country, Emperor Hongwen, I am afraid that he has spent a lot of energy in the recent period.

It's okay to relax.

"Let's not think about these things, the sky will fall and there will be a tall man supporting it."

"However, the emperor's willingness to come out to relax also shows that he is confident about Prince Li's affairs, as long as Dongzhou is not in chaos."

Both Wen Miaomiao and Cheng Lixue nodded repeatedly.

The next day, Minister of the Ministry of Industry came to visit the villa, and because of Emperor Hongwen's instructions in advance, Lu Yaoyao directly invited him to the living room of the villa in the middle of the mountain.

After more than an hour of communication, the cooperation was finalized. The Ministry of Industry first ordered 50 bags of cement, and it will be used first. If it is not enough, it will increase later. At the same time, because the Ministry of Industry is not very familiar with the use of this cement, Lu Yaoyao also made a special trip Arranged a master guide for them.

"really?"

King Zhao's mansion, since the last incident, King Zhao has been confined in the mansion and dare not go out.

But he didn't just let it go. Although many people under his sect had left him, there were still some left behind.

And among these people, there are many people who understand, knowing that King Zhao's punishment is only temporary, after all, if there is no King Zhao, then King Ning's family will dominate.

In the past seven or eight days, King Ning's voice in the court has been much higher than before.

It is impossible for the emperor to allow King Ning to develop like this, and he will definitely arrange someone to balance it out.

Although Zhao Wang was grounded, he did not deal with it more. In the eyes of these staff, Zhao Wang still has a chance.

So although Zhao Wang was grounded, he was very clear about what happened to the outside world.

"Of course it is true. The Ministry of Industry has already started to take action."

"Your Highness, I think this is a very good opportunity, why don't you write a letter requesting that your meritorious deeds be redeemed and be responsible for the maintenance of the capital's roads."

"In this way, His Highness can not only get rid of the current situation, but also accumulate a lot of fame among the people because of road construction."

Zhao Wang nodded again and again, and he knew very well that this was indeed an opportunity, but he was still a little worried.

"What's happening over there, Prince Ning?"

"I heard that King Ning has already submitted a letter, but the emperor didn't say anything. The officials feel that the emperor is waiting for your highness to write a letter."
