Marquis Jiangyin was one of the first to know that King Qi wanted to build a road, but he had never imagined that this kid would actually be serious!
He thought that Zhu Rong was just talking, but he didn't expect that he would really build roads in Qingzhou!
Because of this matter, Zhu Xi was kicked to Qi by the Emperor and was forced to leave the vassal state in advance. Good fellow, not only did he not learn a lesson, but he actually started to build roads with great fanfare. Was he deliberately trying to get angry with the Emperor?
Marquis Jiangyin's thoughts couldn't help but return to those of the struggles in the Imperial Court. He first tried to figure out what the Emperor would think if he found out about this matter.
Then, he was shocked by the strangeness of this asphalt road. Such a road had never appeared in the Darming Dynasty.
Not to mention the Great Ming Dynasty, even in the past dynasties, it had never appeared before.
Even if King Qi had spared no expense and paved the entire city with green brick or limestone, he wouldn't have been so surprised. What the hell was this asphalt road?
Zhu Rong was still young. Although he was already an adult, he had always stayed in the capital and had never experienced any storms. What did he know about repairing roads?
As a result, Marquis Jiangyin had never thought much of it. King Qi had just arrived in Qingzhou and had no place to stay, so he had recruited a large number of long-term and short-term workers in the manor. They were all busy inside and outside, and he had only thought that it was arranged by Consort Da Ding or the Emperor.
After all, he was the Seventh Prince. Although he was temporarily living in the manor, his living conditions must be improved quickly.
Especially when he had just arrived in Qingzhou, the first period of time was naturally the busiest. Not to mention that the construction of the Imperial Residence had not yet begun, even if there was an Imperial Residence that could be moved in, after moving in, it was inevitable that there would be a lot of work!
However, only now did Marquis Jiangyin shockingly discover that he seemed to have underestimated this son-in-law.
Our Seventh Prince is not as simple as everyone thinks!
Not to mention the three huge farms in the manor, just this asphalt road alone was a unique road. It could be said to be the first asphalt road in the Darming Dynasty!
Putting aside the convenience of using such a novel road, the frequency of renovations, the high maintenance costs, and other issues, the fact that King Qi had completed such a large project in such a short period of time was something that no ordinary person could compare to.
Even if the Crown Prince Zhu Biao and the Fourth Prince Zhu Di were brought over, they might not be able to complete the work in such a short time.
Building roads sounded simple, but there were many things involved.
And the Seventh Prince had actually repaired this asphalt road without a sound!
The last time he came, the construction had not started at all. Even the original road surface had not been removed, so he did not know about this.
Marquis Jiangyin was both shocked and gratified. On one hand, he was shocked by the Seventh Prince's methods, but on the other hand, he was gratified by his abilities.
As expected of his son-in-law!
"His Highness King Qi is at the east gate?" Marquis Jiangyin asked.
The guard at the west gate quickly replied,"Marquis Jiangyin, His Highness King Qi, the Qingzhou Prefecture Magistrate, and many other squires are at the eastern gate!”
"Quickly make way! I want to go to the east gate to meet His Highness King Qi!”
The guards at the gates hesitated, as King Qi had ordered that no one was allowed to pass before the auspicious hour.
However, Marquis Jiangyin was not an ordinary person. How could the city gate guards dare to stop him?
Moreover, he was King Qi's father-in-law.
Moreover, they weren't sealing the sect in response to the war, they were just trying to get a good chance.
Under Marquis Jiangyin's threats, everyone obediently made way.
Marquis Jiangyin was even happier after gaining face. Thus, under the gazes of everyone, he became the first person to step onto the asphalt road.
Marquis Jiangyin tried to step out, stepping on the pitch-black road. He felt that it was quite solid, and did not leave a footprint as he had imagined.
His left foot followed closely behind. Both his feet stood on the asphalt road, feeling the indescribable touch under his feet. The old man even jumped up and down and nodded in satisfaction. Hmm, it seemed very sturdy.
The commoners on both sides were discussing animatedly, all of them extremely curious. However, their statuses were low, so how could they dare to casually step onto the asphalt road like Marquis Jiangyin? They could only watch with incomparable envy as the old man walked towards the city gate step by step.
He turned around and saw that his coachman's carriage was still waiting outside, not daring to set off.
Marquis Jiang Yin called out to the guards before letting the attendants in.
It couldn't be helped. Qingzhou City wasn't too small. It would be very tiring for the old man to walk all the way to the east gate.
Marquis Jiangyin's nose twitched as he sniffed the unique smell emitted by the asphalt road. It was rather novel and when he raised his gaze, in front of him was a straight East-West road that seemed to have no end.
There were not many people on both sides of the street. Most of the commoners had run to the east gate or the west gate to watch the commotion.
The entire city of Qingzhou seemed extremely empty for a moment, making this asphalt road seem especially spacious.
This asphalt road had four lanes. The so-called four lanes meant that four carriages could travel side by side at the same time.
Of course, there was still a certain margin on both sides.
The two sides of the asphalt road were made of limestone inserted into the ground. The edges looked neat and full of strange beauty.
