"Yes…"
Lee Shan Chang wanted to curse. Was there anyone who was a Duke like him?
They had worked so hard to accumulate some family property, but in the end, they were even poorer than ordinary landowners.
Why should I be a Duke?
Forget about giving the family property to Zhu Xiongying, but now, he actually had to borrow money to pay the fine?
What was going on?
The ministers all had ugly expressions on their faces. Under Zhu Yuanzhang, who strictly investigated corruption, would it be easy for them to accumulate some property?
In the end, he gave it away just like that?
Was there any justice left!
Zhu Yuanzhang looked at them and laughed coldly. He did not care about the resentment in their hearts.
Perhaps some people would say that as an emperor, he was too petty to confiscate his subordinates 'property at every turn.
However, Zhu Yuanzhang did not care about this.
Who asked this group of people to offend his eldest grandson?
If he didn't stand up for his eldest grandson, would he still be considered a grandfather?
Just as he was about to reprimand the civil officials, his eyes suddenly lit up."Hmm? Is that our eldest grandson?"
Everyone turned their heads and saw that Zhu Xiongying's carriage had finally arrived…
After Zhu Xiong Ying alighted from the carriage, he walked over and bowed,"Greetings, Imperial Grandfather."
"No need for formalities." The moment Zhu Yuanzhang saw Zhu Xiongying, the cold smile on his face instantly disappeared.
As if his face had changed, he said with a benevolent expression,
"Why are you here so early? Did you sleep enough? Go to Imperial Grandfather's car and sleep for a while. Why are you in such a hurry to work?”
"Thank you for your concern, Imperial Grandfather. The project is still more important.”
Zhu Xiong Ying smiled.
Hearing this, Zhu Yuanzhang looked gratified. He looked at everyone and said proudly,
"Did you see that? Our eldest grandson always puts the country first. You guys should learn from him.”
The ministers looked at each other with strange expressions.
Wasn't it Zhu Xiongying's job to repair the road? He was late, and he had to learn from him just because he said something nice?
Was he so unprincipled when spoiling his grandson?
However, everyone was used to Zhu Yuanzhang's attitude and could only agree helplessly.
When it came to repairing roads, Zhu Yuanzhang became even more interested."Speaking of which, how did you repair this road?”
"It's actually as hard as metal. I've never seen such a road before.”
The moment these words were spoken, the ministers also pricked up their ears. This road was personally built by them yesterday.
What they laid on the floor yesterday was clearly just mud…How did it change so much overnight?
This was simply beyond their understanding!
Zhu Xiongying just smiled and said,""I just used a new material, which I call cement.”
"The cement?" Zhu Yuanzhang was stunned. He had never heard of this thing before. Then, he said in surprise,"Is this your new invention again?”
"I guess so." Zhu Xiongying smiled faintly and didn't intend to say anything. He was very low-key.
However, Zhu Di took the initiative to take credit for Zhu Xiongying.
"Father, this cement is extraordinary. Xiong Ying said that this thing will not rot for at least a hundred years.”
"With this thing, our Great Ming's transportation efficiency can directly increase by more than three times!”
"Is that so?"
Zhu Yuanzhang was shocked. A path that would not rot for a hundred years?
This was simply frightening.
Road construction had always been a major event in the past dynasties. After all, roads were the veins of an empire. Only when the veins were clear could the central command command be given to all parts.
The roads were basically the embodiment of the empire's strength.
For example, the relaxation path of the Qin Dynasty was famous all over the world. Only people like Qin Shihuang could cultivate it.
And now, the quality of this path had already far surpassed Qin Chidao…
In other words, his eldest grandson had already surpassed Qin Shihuang in terms of road construction?
Thinking of this, he patted Zhu Xiongying's shoulder excitedly and said,""Good grandson, I knew that a small matter like repairing the road wouldn't be a problem for you!”
Originally, he also knew that it was not difficult for Zhu Xiongying to repair the road, but he did not expect Zhu Xiongying to repair it so well.
This was a huge surprise.
Zhu Xiongying just smiled and said,"It's just a small matter."
"Yes, yes, it's a small matter. It's indeed a small matter!”
Zhu Yuanzhang was stunned for a moment before he laughed out loud. This might sound arrogant to others, but who was his eldest grandson?
That was the reincarnation of an immortal. In the future, he would bring him to cultivate.
Compared to cultivation, what was the point of building a road?
Seeing Zhu Yuanzhang's agitated expression, Li Shanchang and the other civil officials pouted in their hearts.
What was he pretending for…
If it was repaired, so be it. Was there a need to pretend?
At this moment, Zhu Yuanzhang said directly,""Men, reward each of the commoners here with 30 catties of wine and 30 catties of meat!”
"In addition, we're going to set up a banquet here. All the officials and commoners, come!”
"Let's show everyone our eldest grandson's great achievements!”
Such a generous reward immediately caused the commoners beside him to cheer in joy.
Zhu Yuanzhang smiled and said,"You don't have to thank me. If you want to thank someone, thank our eldest grandson. Our eldest grandson's great achievements!"”
As soon as he said this, the commoners looked at Zhu Xiongying with admiration.
They were the ones who had built this road, so they naturally knew how incredible it was.
They had only used a puddle of mud to pave the road, but after only one night, it was as hard as metal.
This was simply a miracle.
At this moment, they were all convinced of the miraculous rumors about Zhu Xiongying.
When Lee Shan Chang saw this, he could not help but remind him with jealousy,
"Your Majesty, the road has only just been built. Shouldn't we wait until the banquet is completed?”
"What completion? Open it now. You people will be the hosts and entertain our eldest grandson's guests!”Zhu Yuanzhang glared at them impatiently.
Everyone was in tears. They hated Li Shan for saying that.
This was another f * cking emcee job. Wasn't he supposed to stand there and wait on the guests?
Following Li Shan Chang, he was either a laborer carrying bricks or a receptionist serving people. Couldn't he do some serious work?
