Chapter 288
When the decree comes down, the next day will be New Year's Eve.

And the day before New Year's Eve, the hard-surfaced road that should have been called the cement road was repaired for some reason.

No one to correct it.

Even those literati think it's very appropriate to call it that.

This is the first hard-surfaced road in Taikang Dynasty that can replace the bluestone road.

It was built all the way to the capital.

There is an imperial city in the capital, where the emperors of the Taikang Dynasty lived.

So it's okay to call it that.

So Tianlu called it so.

Once many things are implemented, there will definitely be opposition voices of one kind or another.

This is the case in the court.

Whichever decree is pushed down, there will be support and there will be opposition.

There will even be censors who will remonstrate to death, hoping that the emperor will take back his orders.

But there are exceptions.

There is no discordant sound in the construction of this heavenly road.

Especially those who have seen the road to heaven.

There were many iron mines in the Taikang Dynasty, and the abandoned iron ore slag not only polluted the local land but also polluted the water source.

Where there is iron slag, there is naturally no grass.

The water source is polluted, and people get sick. Some people are better off being far away from people, but some are very close to the villages and towns.

But now, the iron slag that everyone hates can actually pave a beautiful road to heaven.

Who would have thought?
No one can think of it!

No money?
It doesn't matter, Ye Feng gave the sixth prince an idea, that is to raise donations.

Don’t let you solicit donations in vain, how long the money you donate can be repaired, then erect a stone tablet on the cut-off road section, engrave your name on it, write how long the road you donated with the silver can be repaired, or even the entire road section is okay You name it.

Since ancient times, building bridges and paving roads has been a great thing to accumulate merit and virtue, and it can last forever.

You can be an official, or a businessman.

Some classes are not afraid, they can be separated.

For example, the official roads passing through the county and state capitals belong to high-ranking officials.

Those in the barren mountains and mountains will be given to businessmen.

Businessmen are not picky and are even ecstatic about it.

They can also engrave their names, and mention their property and even where they live, which is simply a living signboard.

Moreover, not only can you become famous, but you can also accumulate virtue, which is simply a huge profit.

Officials are naturally divided into corrupt officials and honest officials. Corrupt officials naturally have a lot of money in their hands, but they dare not take it out blatantly.As for upright officials, even though they have little money, they still want to leave their names on this heavenly road that will be famous throughout the ages.

This is even simpler.

Officials of similar rank can be joined together.

For example, ten officials each get 100 taels, that is 1000 taels.

How long 1000 taels of silver can be repaired has detailed regulations and instructions from the sixth prince.

Therefore, the construction of this seemingly extravagant celestial road did not burden the court at all, and the Minister of the Household Department smiled and squinted his eyes happily every day.

At the beginning, when the emperor said that he wanted to build roads, Shangshu Hubu's heart skipped a beat.

I don't know how much money it will cost to build the road.

And this road does not mean that it will not be repaired if it is built for one hundred miles or two hundred miles.

The purpose is to build all the official roads in the important prefectures and counties of Taikang into such heavenly roads.

That is a bottomless pit.

The Ministry of Finance managed to save some money, more than half of which was stolen from the house.

Among them, there must be enough money left for all kinds of money, including military pay, which cannot be short. The Taikang Dynasty, which is a large country, needs money in too many places.

Can he not worry?
Sorrow's hair has turned white a lot.

But now I don't worry at all.

The court doesn't need to spend much money, this road can be built bit by bit.

This is still near the capital, not counting the area around Jiangnan and Lingnan.

Speaking of which pockets of the aristocratic families and officials over there are not full?

fair enough.

This is truly taking from the people and using it for the people!

Could he be unhappy?

Ye Feng was confident about these two things, and he guessed that promotion was unlikely.

This is already the speed of the rocket.

He can upgrade to three levels in a row, but his foundation is too shallow. The emperor's consideration is thorough and it is also for Ye Feng's benefit.

Ye Feng also thinks this is very good, he doesn't want to be set on fire.

Then he was waiting for the emperor's reward to arrive.

Then, this reward surprised and shocked both him and Sun Cuizhi.

Because the two of them never thought of this in private.

It is really a reward to my heart.

After giving this reward, Ye Feng finally recognized the young emperor and belonged to this dynasty.

The township lord is one level lower than the county lord.

But to Ye Luoyin, the meaning is different.

Let's put it this way.

There are two horses in the carriage that the Lord of the Township rides.There is also a special Xiangjun crown dress. When the queen holds a silkworm ceremony, she is eligible to participate and accompany her around.

This is a title.

It's not just titles either.

Ordinary people would kneel down and kowtow when they saw her.

Besides, there are clear regulations on marriage.

For example, how much dowry is required for the dowry, and what specifications are required. Of course, there must be a dowry.

The last point can be ignored by Ye Feng and Sun Cuizhi.They are delighted that their precious daughter finally has a layer of security.

As long as there is no rebellion or ransacking, this title will always exist.

This really makes Ye Feng happier than giving Ye Feng a reward.

Is Ye Luoyin happy?

I am also very happy, because she still has 60 acres of land and [-] taels of silver per year, and her land is near Dasongzhuang.

Oops, this reward is really distracting.

This New Year's Eve is more joyful than previous years.

On New Year's Eve, the emperor entertained his ministers not in the palace, but in front of the city gate.

Many people gathered in front of the city gate.

The Royal Forest Army is maintaining order, the innermost ones are the emperor, empress dowager and dignitaries, the outermost ones are the officials and family members below the third rank, and the outermost ones are the common people outside the north of the city.

It is said that in villages near official roads, people spend money to buy dilapidated thatched houses.

Some people know about the construction of official roads, so they plan to buy land and houses in nearby towns, or build other courtyards, restaurants, teahouses or inns.

There is no need for Ye Feng to mention this, the emperor and ministers all know about it.

Naturally, there are also related responses.

This is also normal. For example, if you want Youzhou to prosper, you deliberately say that you want to move the capital, and the housing prices in Youzhou have tripled.

In fact, the capital must be moved.

but not now.

No matter how you have to regain the lost land.

Now the official road has become a heavenly road, which is said to be smoother than the bed at home. Thousands of miles have been built, and the speed of carriages and horses has more than doubled all of a sudden.

It used to take three days to return to my parents' home, but now it only takes a little more than one day.

Others say that sitting in a carriage, the water in the teacup is even and stable.

This is a bit exaggerated, but it shows that Tianlu has become a hot topic.

Today is even better.

The people in the innermost layer witnessed with their own eyes that the grass curtains on the Tianlu and the stone road were lifted, and the two roads were connected seamlessly.

Then, the chariots and horses of Emperor Xuanhui took the lead towards the heavenly road...
