I bring the system to tease Shihuang to engage in infrastructure construction

Chapter 194 Dinner
Nearly a week of eating and sleeping in the wind made everyone exhausted.

Zhao Jun even slept until evening. If the maid here hadn't come to wake her up, I'm afraid she would have missed the agreed dinner party.

"My lord, how are you resting?"

As soon as she came out, Xiao He and Su Junqiang were already waiting in the yard.

"is acceptable."

She nodded.

"Is it almost time for dinner?"

"Yes, just now Boss Shi has sent someone to send a message."

Su Jun replied strongly.

"Hey Liu Ji didn't wake up?"

She glanced around, and her questioning eyes stopped on Xiao He.

"He's still sleeping. He won't eat dinner. It doesn't matter if he goes or not. It's better not to follow us."

That guy has already fallen asleep, so don't try to wake him up now.

"Okay, it's really not appropriate to take him, so let's go three."

Zhao Jun washed his face and awakened his spirit from sleep, finally he was much more awake.

The three walked out of the gate, and the street at this point was still full of voices.

Not far away, it seems that many people are talking, and there are many pedestrians walking on the street.

It's completely dark now, and there are so many people outside, which Jun Zhao didn't expect.

"Master Su, it's getting dark already, are the people here hanging around outside without going back to their houses?"

She couldn't help asking.

"Lord Zhao doesn't know, because the Shi family's prickly ash purchase business in Linjiao County, many people from Lin County will come here, and there are workers busy in the prickly ash sorting place, so it is popular even at night. "

Su Junqiang explained.

Zhao Jun nodded slightly. This is an example of a big company driving the development of a place.

The few people hadn't chatted a few words yet, they had already reached the gate of Shi's house.

Shi Hong was right, the Shi family's house was indeed very close to where they lived.

As soon as they arrived at the door, they saw Shi Hong and another younger man standing there.

"Master Zhao, you are finally here, welcome quickly."

Shi Hong smiled and tugged at the sleeve of the man next to him, and they both applauded enthusiastically.

Shi Hong smiled happily, but the expression of the man next to him was not so bright.

A look is forced.

"Boss Shi is really too polite."

Zhao Jun also felt a little embarrassed, she had never seen such a welcoming formation before.

"My lords, please come in quickly."

Shi Hong led several people towards the house, chatting with them continuously while walking.

When we arrived at the dining room, several tables were already filled with food, and there was a girl standing at the door to greet him.

After everyone went in and took their seats, Shi Hong began to introduce.

"Master Zhao, this quiet person is my younger brother Shi Gan, and this beautiful girl is my younger sister."

Zhao Jun smiled and greeted the two of them.

These two had heard Zhu Lin talk about it before.

When I saw them today, I have to say that these three people look like brothers and sisters, and they look like they were carved out of the same mold, with thick eyebrows and big eyes.

Especially that girl, she looks even more beautiful.

"It's the first time Mr. Zhao comes to Berkshire, you must try our Berkshire specialties. I personally select the dishes for today's banquet and let the kitchen cook them."

Shi Hong continued to introduce enthusiastically.

Xiao He looked at more than half of the spicy dishes in front of him, and his heart skipped a beat.

The two brothers and sisters, Shi Gan, Shi Yu, who were sitting next to each other, looked at each other and showed the same helpless smile.

In the beginning, several people chatted in different directions, and when the banquet was halfway through, and Zhao Jun felt that it was almost the same, he began to talk about the main topic.

She didn't come to this dinner just to eat.

"I have long heard that the Shi family is the largest pepper merchant in Berkshire. Now that I have come to Linjiao County, it is indeed well-deserved."

"Where is it, it is not worthy of adults' praise."

Shi Hong laughed.

"We have really felt the hardships of the journey. The Shi family has to walk a mountain road in a few months, and it is really hard to even bring a lot of goods."

"No matter where it is, it's not particularly hard."

Shi Hong laughed.

"Boss Shi is so enthusiastic about helping the people, and it is so difficult to produce and sell peppercorns. I fully agree with the high price of peppercorns, and I really admire Boss Shi's character."

"Everywhere, it's all praised by the folks."

Shi Hong laughed.

Zhao Jun gritted his teeth, adding another impression of Shi Hong in his heart, silly!
When I've said this, he just smirks, whether he really doesn't understand or just pretending.

In the end, Shi Yu, who was still sitting next to him, couldn't bear to listen and interrupted.

"Master Zhao has also worked really hard. It's a long way from Xianyang to Berkshire. I don't know if Mr. Zhao's trip is for inspection or if he has other orders."

Shi Yu smiled and spoke very directly.

Someone finally asked, Zhao Jun heaved a sigh of relief, it seems that there are still smart people in this Shi family.

"Berg County is indeed a long way from Xianyang. The Shi family is in business. I don't know if they pay attention to the outside world."

"I don't know if you know about Qin's paving of concrete roads between Xianyang and several counties."

Zhao Jun looked at Shi Yu with a smile.

The first and most important thing she did when she came to Berkshire was to build roads.

However, building roads, especially in places with mountains like Berkshire, takes a lot of time, money, manpower and material resources, and is extremely difficult.

She only has one year, and the roads she can pave are limited.

At the same time, she also needs manpower, and there must be a local big family to support and assist her in this matter.

So the Shi family is of course the best choice.

"Concrete pavement, I'm not very clear about this, but my brother seems to know something about it."

Shi Yu glanced at Shi Hong, and seemed to have heard his elder brother mention it before.

Shi Hong immediately became excited when he heard this, he knew about it.

He raised his head and glanced at the proud reply of his younger siblings.

"I have indeed heard of this. Last year, I met a few businessmen in Berkshire who have been cooperating with them. They came from Xianyang and told me about the construction of cement roads there."

"I heard from them that the cement road is hard and smooth, and it is comfortable for walking or riding in a carriage without wobbling."

"Anyway, I heard those people say a lot of things that praised the concrete pavement, but I haven't seen it in Berkshire. I don't know if it is as good as they say."

Shi Hong talked about the news he had heard before.

"That's true. The benefits of cement pavement are endless. I estimate that the pavement will be repaired in Berkshire this year."

"Yeah, after that we'll be able to see for ourselves."

Shi Hong was pleasantly surprised.

"However, this road can only be built to the prefecture and county. It is still not very useful for our transportation route in the mountains."

Shi Yu said regretfully.

She was right. Of course, the cement road laid in Xianyang can only be repaired to the prefecture and county.

However, Zhao Jun lowered his head and smiled.

Thanks Shi Yu for asking this question.

"Indeed, but of course when I came to Berkshire, I also wanted to make some changes for the roads in the mountains."
