Chapter 174 Construction of Cement Road
Chapter 174 Construction of Cement Road
Xia Qingqing eavesdropped outside the door for a long time, then pushed the door open and went in. She was still worried about her own business.
“Daddy, Daddy!!”
Xia Qingqing's voice rang out, Xia Xuan's eyes turned, and he saw Xia Qingqing running towards him.
Seeing this, Xia Xuan immediately threw the dog aside and hugged Xia Qingqing.
The puppy seemed very aggrieved, and rubbed against Xia Xuan with a whine, but Xia Xuan didn't see it. He looked at Xia Qingqing who looked very anxious and asked.
"What's wrong with Nannan? Why are you so anxious?"
Xia Qingqing nodded, caressed the aggrieved puppy tenderly, and handed Xia Xuan the plan for the cement road she had written in her arms.
"Dad, please take a look at this."
Seeing Xia Qingqing so mysterious, Xia Xuan opened the paper suspiciously and saw the words inside.
I didn't think much of it at first, but I was more and more shocked later on. Is there really such a road? So clean?
"Nannan, who gave you this paper?"
Xia Qingqing was petting the dog on the dragon throne and said calmly.
"It just popped into my mind all of a sudden, so I wrote it down right away, thinking it might be useful to my dad."
After saying this, he blinked his big eyes and looked at Xia Xuan.
"Daddy, is there really such a road surface? My daughter wants one too. Every time it rains, my shoes get dirty. It's really uncomfortable!!"
After saying this, she frowned, which made Xia Xuan realize deeply that Xia Qingqing really hated these things.
Xia Xuan knew that Xia Qingqing hated the rain because she had nowhere to go when it rained and she would be unhappy because she felt depressed.
But Xia Qingqing reminded him that if he built the road in this way.
Then he will be truly loved by the people.
At that time, building roads and bridges could be regarded as a great saint, not to mention that this person was an emperor.
Xia Qingqing also thought of this level, so she wrote down this method, wanting him to build the road.
This will not only win the love of the people, but also make the country better.
As the saying goes, if you want a good economy, you must first build roads.
Road construction is definitely an urgent matter.
"Dad, if you are repairing the road, can you repair the one near Nannan first? This way Nannan can go out every day!!"
Xia Qingqing's face was filled with smiles, which made Xia Xuan feel warm in his heart, and he hugged her tightly.
"Nannan, you are really daddy's lucky star!!"
Xia Xuan knew Xia Qingqing's secret and knew that this thing definitely could not appear out of thin air.
Maybe Xia Qingqing also knew what effect this would have, so she gave this to him because she wanted him to be an emperor loved by the people.
He thought that with Nannan's help, this might really be possible.
"Good girl, then daddy will repair the road in your palace first, okay?"
Xia Qingqing was immediately happy when she thought that she would have a mud-free road in the future.
"Okay, thank you Daddy!!"
Xia Xuan made up his mind and started to get this thing done. If Xia Qingqing's road surface was done well, it meant that he could still continue to implement it.
In this way, people will have more convenience in the future.
With a better road surface, the speed of the carriage will become faster, which can save a lot of time.
He wrote down the plan and asked Eunuch Li to call the people from the Ministry of Internal Affairs to tell them about this matter.
They were all shocked. Why were they suddenly going to start building the road?
They can't get these materials in a short time and have to wait for a few days. Xia Xuan can understand that although he is anxious now, this matter cannot be rushed.
After waiting for a few days, the materials had begun to arrive, and the people from the Ministry of Internal Affairs found a few master craftsmen from outside.
After all, it wouldn't be very professional to just let these eunuchs do it, so it would be safer to call on professionals.
The sun has been out for several days in a row, and the road surface has already become dry, so it is very convenient for them to carry out construction in this way.
Xia Qingqing was supervising nearby to prevent them from removing all the flowers and plants they had planted.
It was the first time for those master craftsmen to enter the palace, and they were a little nervous. Although the people in the Ministry of Internal Affairs had heard what Xia Xuan said, they had almost forgotten it.
They could only give orders to the master craftsmen based on their memory, and they were ashamed because they couldn't understand anything at all.
Seeing that they were confused, Xia Qingqing felt that she should step forward.
"First, move all the stones away, then dig a few trenches, mix all the materials together to make cement, and then you can pour it in.
Let's make a few thicker flat wooden boards outside and fix them on both sides, so that the roads can be raised a little bit, and there will be no mud on the road surface when it rains in the future."
After saying this, he saw that they all had dazed looks on their faces, and said.
"Do you understand what I mean?"
The master craftsmen understood instantly that what the princess said was much simpler and easier to understand than what the eunuch said.
If you put it this way, they will know what to do.
"We understand, we understand, so let's start now."
Although this is the first time I have seen this method, it seems to make sense. If this can really be done, won’t there be a lot of orders from outside in the future?
They all think that this order is very important. It is conceivable that if it is successful, it will also be an experience for them.
To the people in the Ministry of Internal Affairs, it seemed that what the princess said was not much different from what the emperor said.
Well, if the princess is here, there shouldn't be any big problems.
The master craftsmen began to work, and several of them skillfully began to dig out and remove the original stones.
These stones are quite large and it takes some time to move them out, but it would be impossible to complete the task without a few days.
Then just don't go out during this period of time. She doesn't have anything to do, but Dabai whines every day and says he feels aggrieved for not going out.
"Dabai, can you please wait a few days before going out? I'll take you to a bigger place to play after a while, okay?"
Hearing that they were going to the heart's place, Dabai finally behaved a little better, but he still lay at Xia Qingqing's feet with a listless look.
It took three days to move all these stones out. We didn't build the roads here, only the road at the entrance.
This makes it very convenient for you to go out. After the road out is completed, you can then build other roads, so that you won’t be delayed in going out.
