The large convoy passed by quickly before his eyes. Zhao Shu looked at the jars of wine and ordered: "Go and see the drinks."

Yes.

Chen An said that a jar costs 200 kilograms, but did he make a falsification?

Everyone is a veteran in politics and knows the importance of fakery, so they all laugh.

Chen Zhongheng went there in person. He stopped a carriage and immediately asked the coachman to open six jars.

He reached in and tried one by one.

When my hands came out again, they were already wet.

“So cold!”

That's alcohol!

People in later generations have experience. After their hands are stained with alcohol, the volatility of alcohol will take away the temperature.

That's why some people use alcohol to physically cool patients with high fever.

But Chen Zhongheng didn't understand. He tried all six jars of wine one by one, and even his sleeves were mostly wet.

"The official family is full of wine!"

Chen Zhongheng raised his eyebrows at Chen An, thinking that his good friend was really good, and he even made roads so well.

He walked over slowly, feeling more and more chills in his arms.

"It's cold!"

He called cold when he came back, and Zhao Shu frowned and said, "It's just that the sleeves were wet by the wine. It's so delicate, which shows that I have indulged you in the past."

Emperors should not indulge eunuchs. This is an experience passed down from the Han and Tang Dynasties. Otherwise, eunuchs will stare at you, kill you with the last glass of poison, and then manipulate the government.

Therefore, the emperors of the Central Plains are very miserable. They sat in the deep palace, but there were several major threats that made them unable to sleep or eat.

The first disaster is natural disaster. If the natural disaster comes, they will issue an edict to blame themselves, admit their mistakes to the world, and admit their mistakes to God's father. The second is **, among which the relatives of the foreign countries are the first. From the perspective of the Han and Tang Dynasties, if the relatives of the foreign countries are not controlled, they will become a fatal disaster, and it is no problem to overthrow the country.

Then there is the harem.

There are two major harms in the harem, the first is the queen.

Don't laugh!

This is true.

Not to mention the distance, just talk about the Han Dynasty. As soon as Liu Bang left, Empress Lü almost subverted the Han Dynasty. Is this awesome?

Not awesome? In the former Tang Dynasty, Wu Zhao changed his dynasty directly, and his country was named Dazhou.

Therefore, beingware of the people around you is also a political task for the emperor.

Think about it, even my wife had to be on guard. When I was in Dunlun, I had to wonder if this woman would be thinking about how to kill herself and then usurp the throne...

Tsk tsk!

This is really impossible to live!

The second is the eunuch.

The ten regular attendants of the former Han Dynasty were famous.

But they are not as good as the juniors of the former Tang Dynasty.

The eunuch of the former Tang Dynasty directly killed the emperor, then pushed a puppet to the stage, and controlled the world by himself, making a mess.

But these are not as good as foreign enemies.

The foreign enemies of the Central Plains dynasty are in the north. No matter how you fight, new opponents will always emerge on the grassland, just like cutting leeks.

Such days are really hard to endure.

No matter how difficult it is, you have to live it!

So how to guard against enemies outside the border became the first issue.

What is defense?

Weapons are never short of this, and there are more bull pens than those grassland people who play wolf-tooth arrows.

What is lacking is money and food.

And the biggest obstacle here is transportation.

Zhao Shu thought of the food and grass loss of this Northern Expedition, and Han Jiang looked dead and felt my mother's pain when she reported.

But Han Jiang said that the biggest loss occurred during transportation, that is, people eat horses and chew.

Why!

At that time, he sighed at this and felt that the price was too high.

But what if the roads from the Song Dynasty to the north were all such concrete roads?

Zhao Shu was excited.

"Han Qing, what if there is such a road from here to Yanshan Road?"

Han Qi said firmly: "Who dares to assert that it will be even more difficult for foreign races outside the Great Song Dynasty to invade the Song Dynasty. No, it will never be possible again!

As long as the Song Dynasty has excellent weapons, good training, and good generals can stand invincible. In addition, with such a road, both the money, grain and weapons from Bianliang and the south can be quickly sent to the northern army. By then, the enemy had not yet attacked, and our army was ready to wait for the battle, with sufficient soldiers and enough food, so if we cannot win, the commander of the army should kill him!"

Zeng Gongliang made up the knife: "It was originally going to the north for a month. With this road, it would take half a month. If you can't win, it would be a wine bag and you should kill it!"

"Yes! It's time to kill!" Zhao Shu was very happy. "I didn't think it was because Chen An said that there were such good things in the academy. I always felt that the young man had just been granted the title of Duke and was full of confidence and wanted to be innovative. Who would have thought that he really gave me a great joy!"

Zhao Shu was really happy. Looking at Chen An, he suddenly felt that this guy was so handsome.

He thought of his eldest son again and thought it was pretty good.

Young people are better than me!

He was a little depressed, but then he was excited.

Chen An was praised and just smiled slightly, looking at the very calm and gentle wind, no, he was indifferent to fame and fortune.

At this time, the yamen runners and military patrolmen in Kaifeng Prefecture came and stopped the people on both sides of the street.

When the people looked at Chen An's appearance, a woman praised him: "Duke Chen is very kind."

When Chen An saw this, he saw a charming woman smiling at her and with a stern face.

Then silently recite: Form is emptiness, emptiness is form...

Seeing Chen An so calm, Zhao Shu was even more satisfied. "I gave you the Duke of your country. What I worry most is that you are satisfied with it, and then you eat, drink, have fun, and are not enterprising. But today I am so happy to see this road."

He was really happy and felt that there was a successor to the Political Affairs Hall.

Chen An said: "The official family is born with spirituality. How lucky is this? But after decades of life, we will leave the world and return..."

Han Qi and others who were about to praise him froze and felt a little melancholy.

After decades of life, most of our lives have passed, and the loess has been buried in our necks. But seeing whether Chen An is still in his prime, how can we feel when we wait for the old man!

The key is that Chen An made so many achievements at a young age, which made Han Qi and the others feel that their first half of their lives were really in vain.

Chen An ordered that he did not see the resentment of the prime ministers, and continued: "Eating and drinking are just a temporary joy, but afterwards they are lonely and empty. I feel that only by adhering to righteousness is the right way. I have lived for decades, and when I grow old, I will think about today and what I have done in the past few decades...

Before my death, if I could say that I worked tirelessly for the prosperity of the Song Dynasty in this life, then I would die without regrets.”

Chen An stood there with a righteous look on his face, and Zhao Shu and the prime minister were both stunned by these words.

"Recalling this life before death, well said!"

Zhao Shu's eyes were brilliant, "How many people have been living a lifelong life? Let these people come to see Chen Qing and listen to what Chen Qing said, will they be ashamed? Will they wake up?"

Han Qi praised: "I feel familiar with these words when I hear them. Yes, when I dreamed of them at midnight, I also thought about this life. This life is hard work for the Song Dynasty..."

This shameless guy!

Chen An felt that Han Qi's face was thicker than Zhao Yunrang's.

Bao Zheng felt that Han Qi was a shame to the Political Affairs Hall. He couldn't bear to listen, so he interrupted Han Qi's bragging, "Officials, this road is not worth the cost. I wonder if Chen An is rich, but after this road is built, he may have a great energy damage, right?"

This is asking for money for Chen An.

Tsk tsk!

Han Qi was interrupted and bragging was very unhappy, and looked at Bao Zheng and shook his head and sighed.

Zhao Shu thought about it, "I just thought about happiness, but I forgot the price of this road. If it is too expensive, I am afraid I can't afford to repair it."

Everyone looked at Chen An.

Chen An smiled and said, "That's right, the cost of this road is mainly cement."

"How much does cement cost?"

"This minister hasn't calculated yet, but I'll just list it." Chen An said: "First it is limestone and clay, and then some slag is enough. These things are ground into powder and calcined. After calcination, they have to be ground. The last thing that comes out is cement."

“It’s that simple?”

Han Qi felt that Chen An was cherishing her own shoes.
