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

Chapter 49 49: Zhu Yuanzhang wants to personally patrol the West?

After the New Year, the happy events in the Han Palace came one after another!
  First, the concubine Li came to the family, and now the second son of the King of Han was born. It is foreseeable that from now on until the day when the child is one month old, there will definitely be an endless stream of guests coming to congratulate him!
  For Zhu Yue, the more happy events like this, the better, and the more guests who come to give gifts, the better!
  Time flies!

In the blink of an eye, it was the eighth day of March in the twenty-fourth year of Hongwu!

Inside Yingtianfu Palace.

"Dad, look, the second child of Laojiu's family has been born, and he's still a fat boy weighing six pounds!"

Zhu Biaoxing hurriedly looked at the memorial sent back by the Chief of the Han Palace, and handed it to Zhu Yuanzhang!
  "Oh? Lao Jiu has another son? What's his name?"

Zhu Yuanzhang was also overjoyed when he heard this. He took the memorial directly and saw Zhu Xiaqiang's name!
  After the vassal prince has an heir, he will definitely report it to the court. To be precise, it should be reported to the clan government!

The purpose is also to be able to record the newly born descendants of the Zhu family into the family tree Jade Butterfly!

"Zhu Xiaheng, that's a pretty good name!"

After Zhu Yuanzhang saw the name Zhu Xiaqiang, he nodded slowly.

"By the way, Dad, Concubine Zhou is still in Hanzhong Mansion!"

"Aren't you going to call her back to the palace?"

At this time, Zhu Biao thought about the fact that Concubine Zhou was still in Hanzhong. He looked at Zhu Yuanzhang with some surprise and asked.

"It's rare for mother and son to meet each other, so there's no harm in letting her stay in Hanzhong for a while!"

"Didn't the second child, Lao Jiu, just give birth? It just so happens that the grandmother can be there to help take care of the child!"

Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand, obviously unwilling to explain more on this matter.

He hasn't figured out how to tell Zhu Biao about the auspicious national destiny yet.

He was also thinking about when he could meet Lao Jiu Zhu Yue in person so that the father and son could have a good talk. Naturally, he would not be in a hurry to call Concubine Zhou back!

After the matter of the longevity pill can be perfectly resolved, it will be too late to bring Concubine Zhou back from Hanzhong Mansion!

Zhu Biao was speechless when he heard this.

What kind of reason is this?
  But he could still tell that the old man didn't seem to have any intention of calling Concubine Zhou back. Just as Zhu Yuanzhang said, Concubine Zhou and Lao Jiu, mother and son, had finally met each other. Naturally, he, the eldest brother, would not do it. This evil man!

Although Zhu Biao feels a little strange that the old man doesn't call people back, he definitely won't have any objections!
  "Don't worry about this matter, we already know it!"

"By the way, Biao'er, what do you think about the lifting of the curfew in Hanzhong?"

"And that cement road? Where did Lao Jiu come up with this kind of thing?"

Zhu Yuanzhang asked with a change of subject.

Concubine Zhou had also specially brought back some letters, which were nothing more than about what she had seen and heard in Hanzhong.

Of course, the Jin Yiwei responsible for accompanying Concubine Zhou to Hanzhong should report back in more detail!
  In fact, Zhu Yuanzhang had already seen the lifting of the curfew in his dreams, so he was not particularly surprised by it!

The only thing that Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't figure out was how on earth the cement oak was made?

"This... we don't know either!"

"How about you ask Lao Jiu directly?" Zhu Biao smiled bitterly and shook his head.

He only saw this information from Jin Yiwei's book, and he had no idea about cement roads at all!

"I heard that this kind of cement road is very smooth and very convenient to build. Hanzhong Prefecture has all been converted into cement roads. Our Yingtian Prefecture is also an important place in the capital. Shouldn't we also build a few cement roads? ?”

Zhu Yuanzhang said slowly.

It seems to be a question, but in fact it is a deliberate attempt to lead the topic in the direction of the cement road!
  Zhu Yuanzhang wants to go to Hanzhong to find Zhu Yue, but that doesn't mean he can go there. After all, he is the king of a country. Even if he goes on a patrol, there must be a suitable opportunity and reason!
  To put it bluntly, Zhu Yuanzhang must find as many reasons for himself to go to the northwest as possible now!
  "Is this cement road really that good?"

When Zhu Biao heard this, he asked doubtfully.

"The book Jin Yiwei sent back can't be fake, right?"

"It is said that this kind of cement road can save both cars and horses at least half the time!"

"On this cement road, the distance that originally took two days to cover can be covered in one day!"

Zhu Yuanzhang continued to tell Zhu Biao about the general benefits of this cement road. In fact, it had already exceeded some of the scope reported by Jin Yiwei!

However, Zhu Biao did not notice this.

"If this cement road is really that good, then it should be built as much as possible. But I don't know how much it will cost to build a cement road?"

Zhu Biao pondered for a moment and then directly turned the topic to money.

The Ming Dynasty is not rich now. Who doesn’t want good things?

But come to think of it, you have to be able to spend so much money to build roads!
  Lao Jiu had the financial resources to build cement roads in Hanzhong Mansion. This was because the fine salt business allowed him to make a lot of money. However, the expenses of the court were not generally large. Although fine salt was highly profitable, in the short term It is also unrealistic to want to fill the treasury so much that there is a lot of money to spend arbitrarily!
  This always requires a time period and process accumulation!
  "You can discuss the cost with Lao Jiu!"

"Building cement roads is something that benefits the country and the people. Lao Jiu is not just building cement roads in the northwest just to make money, right?"

Zhu Yuanzhang said with a smile.

He knew that building a cement road would not cost much more than the imperial court used to spend to build an official road!

At most, it’s only [-] to [-]% higher!

But the official roads of the imperial court are not only full of potholes but also muddy and difficult to navigate on rainy days, which greatly affects the speed and efficiency of travel!
  Although the cost of the cement road is higher, in terms of cost performance, it is definitely much higher than the previous official road!
  The father and son talked for a while about the cement road. Zhu Yuanzhang planted a seed in Zhu Biao's heart, but he still did not bring up the idea of ​​​​wanting to tour the west. He had to wait for a suitable time.

At least after telling Zhu Biao about the auspicious national fortune and waiting for him to completely believe it!

At night, Zhu Yuanzhang lay on the dragon bed in his palace, opened the National Luck Xiangrui, and checked the current national luck value.

At present, Zhu Yuanzhang has accumulated 2300 points of national fortune through daily check-ins!

"Yes, I have accumulated 300 more points of national luck. Even if I upgrade to version 3.0, I can still get 300 more points of national luck. Activating an emulator should be enough, right?"

Seeing the current national fortune, Zhu Yuanzhang smiled with satisfaction!
