    Li Shimin laughed loudly: "Okay."

    The people around him also stood aside, looking at Li Shimin with awe, respect, and curiosity on their faces. After all, ordinary people did not have many opportunities to see the emperor.

    After Li Shimin finished asking, he continued to walk forward.

    A group of officials followed directly, as did the accompanying Forbidden Army.

    The light rain was still pouring, and Li Shimin stamped the ground with his feet as he walked. It was indeed extremely hard.

    "Mr. Zhao, this cement road is really great!"

    Li Shimin was full of surprises: "Compared with the blue brick road, it is flatter, and there will be no yellow mud splashing on rainy days, making it cleaner and more hygienic."

    "Yes, Your Majesty, in addition to building roads, you can also pave cement in the city to improve the roads."

    "Mr. Zhao, will this kind of road be damaged?"

    Zhao Chen smiled: "Your Majesty, the cement road can last for decades at least, so there is no need to worry about damage. And when the asphalt is extracted and a layer of asphalt is paved, it will not be a problem for this road to last for a hundred years."

    "A hundred years?"

    Li Shimin was shocked.

    The courtiers next to him were also in an uproar. Xiao Yu said, "How can you, my consort, use something that has been used for a hundred years?"

    Zhao Chen glanced at Xiao Yu, he didn¡¯t have much interaction with the Duke of Song.

    Li Shimin looked forward again: "Let's go, follow me to the places where roads are being built."

    The light rain was not heavy, just drizzle. The weather was still cold. The carriage drove on the cement road and soon reached the end of the road construction not far away.

    At this glance, you can see the craftsmen working hard. Several workers manually turn the shaft of the mixer to fully mix the cement and stones in the mixer.

    ¡°After all, electricity has not been invented yet, and the things invented by Zhao Manor require human power for the time being.

    Someone in the front is pushing a funnel truck forward, and someone in the back is holding an ink line to measure the straightness. In the back, the mixed stones are spread on the road, and then cement is poured.

    After a large amount of cement was poured, the uneven surface was leveled by the craftsmen for the first time using leveling boards. The two people behind them stepped on a bicycle-like roller and drove it with a pedal reel. The roller then slowly pressed forward.  , compact the pavement after leveling.

    Li Shimin got off the carriage, and the foreman in charge of supervising the work came over quickly.

    "See, see Your Majesty."

    The soldiers in front had already told him that the foreman was very frightened at the moment. He really didn't expect that His Majesty would come to pay a private visit incognito.

    "It's okay, let me see the progress of road construction."

    Li Shimin watched with his hands behind his hands. The court officials next to him also marveled at the road construction process.

    After watching the entire road construction, Li Shimin looked at the hard-working craftsmen and said with emotion: "Thank you for your hard work. I leave the roads of the Tang Dynasty to you, I can rest assured."

    "It's not hard, it's not hard."

    The foreman said quickly.

    Li Shimin smiled, walked to a craftsman again, and started chatting with him casually.

    The craftsman was very nervous, but after chatting for a while, Li Shimin became less nervous and answered several questions as he was approachable.

    "I think this road construction work is very good, but sometimes I have to live on the roadside in the barren mountains and mountains, and I can't go back."

    The craftsman scratched his head: "It also depends on the weather. If it is a heavy rainy day, there will be no construction at all. It is best to be in the sun, so that the cement can dry faster."

    Li Shimin smiled and said: "How much can you get every month?"

    The craftsman's eyes lit up: "It's more than before. Now I can get two taels of silver every month, including food and accommodation. I can buy some books for my son next year. I hope he can also be a scholar."  .¡±

    Li Shimin smiled and patted his shoulder, then asked the foreman next to him: "How are their salaries distributed?"

    "Your Majesty, it is all calculated and paid by the government. It is based on the amount of work done every day. Once a job is completed, a worker's salary will be paid. I am only responsible for recording. When this section of the project is completed, everyone can go back and submit the work order.  Now that I have received my salary, I will have one copy of this work order, and these craftsmen will have one copy, and we will check it when the time comes.¡±

    Li Shimin worked at the grassroots level here to understand the people's sentiments, and he decided to have lunch with these craftsmen.

    Soon, when it was time for lunch, the foreman asked the accompanying chef to come out.I set up a tent and got a big pot, and put all the steamed buns I brought in to steam.

    In addition to steamed buns, there are also dried sweet potatoes and the like, and the most important thing is broth, so lunch is not too bad.

    Seeing Li Shimin sitting in the tent, all the craftsmen gathered together and had lunch together.

    Li Shimin didn¡¯t even care. Like a craftsman, he held the steamed bun in his hand and a bowl of broth, took a bite, and then laughed: ¡°It¡¯s extremely delicious.¡±

    "This situation reminds me of the time when I conquered the world. It was even more difficult than this."

    Some of the courtiers also started to flatter me, and one courtier even said with a smile: "Your Majesty, this broth tastes really great. I have never tasted such delicious broth."

    "Yes, Your Majesty, this steamed bun is also extremely delicious, especially in this weather, it has a special taste."

    "Your Majesty, given this situation, I would like to compose a poem. I am so inspired that I would like to ask your Majesty to allow me to write a poem."

    Pei Xingjian took a bite of the steamed bun, with some doubts in his eyes. The steamed bun tasted the same as what he had eaten before, nothing special.

    Li Shimin was in a good mood, so he naturally smiled and said: "Okay, let's play a song."

    The minister recited a poem, which was naturally nothing more than praising Li Shimin in a different way.

    The other officials of the aristocratic family also took the opportunity to say: "Master Liang, this poem is really well written."

    Zhao Chen only saw that most of the courtiers who agreed were from aristocratic families, and one of them even squeezed in. Originally, the tent was not big, but Li Shimin asked the craftsmen to gather around and have a meal together. As a result, the courtiers squeezed in.  , those craftsmen all arrived outside the tent or near the outside of the tent without knowing it.

    At this time, an official smiled and said: "Your Majesty, I happen to be the Poet of the Tang Dynasty here, why don't you let him write a poem too."

    "Yes, let the prince consort compose a poem to add to the fun."

    Zhao Chen looked outside and saw only those craftsmen nibbling steamed buns in the rain. Some craftsmen looked into the tent, because the best vegetable stew here was still steaming here. They wanted to  Have another bowl.

    But in this situation, who dares to come in and disturb this group of ministers who are all blocking the entrance of the tent?

    Moreover, this stew is for His Majesty and His Majesty to drink. Ordinary craftsmen like them can take a sip when the Minister and Your Majesty look down on them. In this situation, naturally they cannot spoil the fun, otherwise even if they drink it at that time,  You will also be scolded and made difficult by the foreman behind your back. The most serious thing is that you will be told to get out and lose your job.

    On one side are the craftsmen who are soaking in the rain outside the tent, and on the other side are the courtiers sitting around the steaming boiler inside the tent.

    "Consort, write a poem."

    Those ministers still smiled and urged.

    Zhao Chen raised his head and half-smiled: "You really want me to compose poetry? My poetry has never been very good." (Remember this website address: www.hlnovel.com
