Everyone is waiting to see whether Zhao Hanzhang and Gou Xi will turn against each other and enter the next reincarnation that they are already familiar with.
Even the emperor was waiting anxiously.
Of course, some people were unwilling to resign themselves to fate, so some went to Yuncheng to persuade Gou Xi, while others went to Luoyang to find Zhao Hanzhang.
Zhao Hanzhang has not returned to Luoyang yet. Some people choose to wait for her in Luoyang, while others are anxious and turn around directly to continue north, hoping to find her in the Pingyang City area.
Just after I ran out of Luoyang, I saw the banner in front of me. I took a closer look and saw a big word "Zhao" on it.
The eyes of the man sitting on the bullock cart lit up, and he immediately asked his servants to drive the bullock cart forward.
Zhao Hanzhang had just received a batch of official documents. He was sitting in the carriage and swaying from side to side while reviewing the official documents.
Fu Tinghan was in a daze on the side, pointing his fingers little by little, not knowing what he was thinking.
The wheel slid into the pit with a clang, and Zhao Hanzhang sat down hard on his butt. Fu Tinghan was unprepared and suddenly fell forward. Zhao Hanzhang reached out to hold his shoulders and pushed him back to his seat.
Zhao Hanzhang frowned and opened the curtain with a swipe. Just as he was about to teach the coachman a lesson, he saw that the road outside was full of potholes, one after another, and there was no smooth surface for more than ten meters.
The guards riding horses next to them also slowed down their horses and let them pass carefully.
She suppressed the words she was about to scold the coachman and turned to the guards on the left and right: "The rear team will pause and have someone dig some soil from nearby to fill all the holes!"
She said: "How did the scouts explore the road? There is such an obvious pit. What if we have to march in a hurry?"
The personal guards immediately took the order and left, and at the same time they went to educate the scouts.
Zhao Hanzhang quickly lowered the car curtain and frowned, "The road is too difficult. Do we have to build a cement road?"
Fu Tinghan shook his head and said: "Forget it in the city. Now the hydraulic press has improved. We can use water power to make cement, but it can barely be supplied to the city. It is impossible to use cement to build official roads. I still suggest using it. Soil, compacted, mixed with mellow soil and calcined, is actually no worse than cement roads."
"The easiest way to pave the city is with cement. If you want it to look good, be hard and durable, use stones and bricks," Fu Tinghan is now the minister of the Ministry of Industry. Road construction is one of his important responsibilities. Naturally, he has thought about it. He said: "Actually, in terms of subsequent maintenance and usage time, bluestone is the best, and the damage rate of cement roads is also quite high."
"However, using cement to build roads will be much more efficient. Now we don't have enough manpower and manpower is valuable. We can temporarily use cement. When the national strength increases in the future, we can consider replacing it when it is damaged again."
Zhao Hanzhang nodded, "Can you make cement?"
Fu Tinghan smiled and said: "This is not difficult. The formula of cement is not a secret. It was just that the power was not enough before and the cost was too high. It was not worth it. Now with water power, it is not difficult to crush limestone and iron ore."
Moreover, they have iron ore.
Iron ore and waste residues that are not used highly are most suitable for making cement.
"We still need to find limestone mines." He sent people out to search before leaving Luoyang, but there was no news yet.
After finding the limestone mine, calculate the distance to the iron mine, and choose the most suitable place between the mine and Luoshui to build a cement workshop. Then you can use hydraulic power to make cement.
Zhao Hanzhang: "Is there a limestone mine in Luoyang?"
Fu Tinghan affirmed: "There must be one, but we can't find it yet."
Unfortunately, he didn't pay much attention to this aspect before, so he didn't know where to look for it.
The carriage suddenly stopped, causing Zhao Hanzhang to sway a little. Now she was no longer angry. She calmly opened the curtain and asked calmly: "What's wrong?"
Just as the guards were about to mount their horses and ask, a soldier had already run down and reported: "Your Majesty, there is an ox cart in front of you in the middle of the road. It refuses to move. The master is sitting on the ground. He must see the governor."
When Zhao Hanzhang heard this, he bent down and walked out of the carriage, stood on the carriage shaft and looked forward, and saw a scribe sitting on the ground not far away.
The other party saw Zhao Hanzhang standing on the shaft of the car at a glance. His mouth dropped and he immediately burst into tears. Tears burst out of his eyes, "Mr. Zhao——"
Zhao Hanzhang's eyes widened.
Although he cried until tears flowed down his face, his speech was very clear and his voice was loud. Even though he was separated by hundreds of people, Zhao Hanzhang could clearly hear what he was crying about.
, is also devoted to planning for the imperial court, but now your granddaughter wants to divide the country and do what only sycophants would do——"
Zhao Hanzhang:......
Fu Tinghan came out from behind her, frowned and asked, "Who is he?"
Zhao Hanzhang said depressedly: "I don't know him."
Her soldiers were furious, holding down the hilts of their swords and saying, "Processor, please let me chop him."
Zhao Hanzhang glared at him and said, "What are you cutting? Didn't he just scold me? This is all a misunderstanding. Just explain it clearly. It doesn't violate the law."
She jumped off the carriage and went to help the person herself.
When she came up to her, the other party looked at her with his eyes open for a while and continued to cry. By now, he had already cried for Zhao Changyu and started to cry for her great-grandfather.
Zhao Hanzhang sighed, lifted up his robe and sat cross-legged across from him, looking at him with his face propped up, "Sir, please stop crying. I have taken everything you said to heart. This is all a misunderstanding."
Seeing her unusual reaction, the scribe neither chopped him down nor helped him up politely to comfort him. He gradually stopped crying, took out his sleeves to wipe away his tears, looked at her steadily and asked: "Prince Zhao
If it’s a misunderstanding, how do you explain the incident in Qingzhou?”
Zhao Hanzhang said: "I came back from Pingyang just to explain. I sent envoys to Jizhou to prevent Governor Wang and Governor Liu from continuing to attack each other. I don't know why they suddenly joined forces to attack Qingzhou."
The scribe saw that Zhao Hanzhang's face was sincere and a little angry. It seemed that she was really innocent, but the scribe did not dare to believe her.
These officials have very dirty hearts and are good at acting. Who knows if they are true or false?
The scribe looked at her with big eyes, "Will Governor Zhao send troops to Yanzhou?"
Zhao Hanzhang said categorically: "No!"
"Will Governor Zhao welcome His Majesty back to Luoyang?"
Zhao Hanzhang said: "As long as your Majesty is willing, General Gou is also willing to escort your Majesty back!"
The scribe felt that what she said was true, and his heart was slightly relaxed, but he still asked: "How does Governor Zhao plan to solve the Qingzhou Incident?"
Zhao Hanzhang said: "I would like to ask your Majesty to issue an order to ask the Governor Wang and the Governor Liu. We are all ministers of the Jin Dynasty. If there are conflicts, we can sit down and talk first. If we can't reach an agreement, there are still Your Majesty and the court. Can we ask for His Majesty's Holy Judgment?"
It is really strange that a powerful official said that he wanted to ask for His Majesty's Holy Judgment. The scribe looked at her carefully and was not sure whether she was sincere or fake, but he still nodded and said: "That's right, I want to ask for Your Majesty's Holy Judgment."
Seeing that his attitude had softened, Zhao Hanzhang stood up, reached out to help him up from the ground, and patted the dust on his clothes thoughtfully. He said with a smile: "We will discuss the details later. I don't know what to call you sir yet."
."
The scribe then said: "I am at Chu Kang, Jiangxia."
"It turns out he is from Jingzhou," Zhao Hanzhang's eyes widened, he held his hand and said enthusiastically: "Sir, please come in quickly, oh, I'm still marching, how about we ride together? Please don't dislike the carriage, sir.
Simple."
The Chu family of Jiangxia County was a wealthy family in Jingzhou. If she remembered correctly, they had copper mines.
