Chapter 1319: What His Royal Highness saw and heard

Since Cao Yun entered the Ming realm, he has not felt better. All the things he had seen were very different from his cognition. This is still in the border area of ​​the Ming Kingdom, and in the heart of the Ming people, will there be greater surprises waiting for him? No, that is not a surprise, but I am afraid that it is more frightened.

Chen Ye and Ben Kuan are two completely different people, but they have a common ambition, that is, to make the people under their jurisdiction live a better life. If Ben Kuan saw someone's car stuck in the mud on the road and couldn't push it out, he would roll up his sleeves and go forward to help himself. After the matter, he would brush away his clothes. In the same situation, Chen Ye would smile and take out a banknote and put it on the car, then applauded loudly next to him, claiming that as long as the banknote was pushed out, it would be theirs. After the matter, he would indeed leave the banknote with satisfaction, but he would never reach out to help.

These two people with different personalities and completely different ways of acting have all managed their territories very well, which makes it difficult for Cao Yun to understand. He likes people like Ben Kuan and hates people like Chen Ye, but he has to admit that Chen Ye's method is also effective.

After spending several days with Chen Ye, Cao Yun himself fell into trouble.

Two different people have two different ways of governance, but the final result is the same. Doesn’t this mean that to do one thing well, there is not only one way or one method? There are only one end point, but in fact there are thousands of roads. Everyone walks differently, but in the end, they can achieve the same goal in the same way?

The reforms that Daqi is currently carrying out are, after all, imitating the practices of Ming people, but is there really only one way? Is there another way that can avoid the turmoil and chaos in front of you and achieve ideal results?

He fell into deep confusion.

No one told me about it in the entourage, so he asked Chen Ye very simply and directly that sometimes the enemy's views would hit the nail on the head than the opinions of his own people who were trapped in the situation.

Chen Ye smiled and said nothing, just shook his head.

Cao Yun asked repeatedly, and then Chen Ye said, "Your Highness, I don't understand the great principles, but it's like doing business. You can't always think that your family will win alone. If you make a fortune together, that's the serious principle. If you do things alone, you may be able to take advantage of the situation, but over time, who will still play with you? A lonely person can only wait for bankruptcy."

Cao Yun smiled bitterly and shook his head: "The conflict of interest is too big, and the chickens talk to each other, so I can't even say that I can go together!"

Chen Yesan said: "That's because you haven't found common ground for interests. Even if you are enemies, you can find a place where each other's interests are consistent. Just like you, Daqi and our Daming, you stab me secretly, and I secretly stifle you. Maybe you will fight openly, but now you have also found common ground for interests? Otherwise, how could His Royal Highness come to our Daming?"

Cao Yun was stunned.

"You mean, we, Daqi and those aristocratic families, can find common ground?"

"There must be common interests, but I don't know how to find him and balance him! Of course, this is also the time to test your emperor's great wisdom." Chen also smiled and said, "But in my opinion, the emperor of your country prefers to cut the mess quickly. He believes that with his own strength, he can definitely wipe out all opposition voices."

Cao Yun was silent for a while, and Chen said it was right. The reform of Daqi has reached the last moment, and of course it is also the most dangerous moment. At this time, the emperor was thinking in his mind that he was just using a heavy hammer to smash all the footstones on the road. Didn’t he think so before? Compromise is not the style of the Emperor of Daqi, nor his own habits.

In order to achieve the goal of the reform of the Daqi Dynasty, Qi State began to work many years ago. For this goal, Daqi has paid enough. The people have also paid a huge price for it. How could it be easy to change courses? Repeating it again at this time is probably going to make the court even more chaotic.

He suddenly woke up. Why did he change his course? Is it because he was in Ming Dynasty? What were the Ming people hinting to him?

His eyes suddenly became clear, and his eyes suddenly became sharper when he looked at Chen Ye.

Chen Ye suddenly realized that he waved the whip and said with a smile: "In our Ming Dynasty, there are many wealthy families, but they are now all loyal dogs of my Ming Dynasty. For example, the earliest five great masters of Shayang, such as the Xun family in Zhengyang and the Cheng family in Yongping, hahaha, these princes must have heard of these families, so the contradictions can be reconciled and the interests can be found. Of course, this is just a side statement of an official who has been a businessman. Just listen to it as a joke."

Looking at Chen Ye, who was leisurely, Cao Yun's eyes slowly softened. Yes, it was just a matter of listening. The biggest ideal of this businessman and official who was determined to make a fortune with the people was probably to leave his reputation in history with the spring breeze of the Ming Dynasty. At least, he could also leave a rich score on the county aristocratic period in Wuling. This may be the idea of ​​this guy who has made enough money. How powerful can he plan in politics?

I was really thinking too much! Cao Yun smiled and was so excited when he arrived in Ming Dynasty. He was really a little bit like a slight archer and a tree was full of soldiers.

"Your Highness, look, Wuling County City is ahead!" Chen Ye waved his horse whip and pointed to the majestic pass that appeared in everyone's sight in front of him, and said with a smile.

The so-called Wuling County City actually has another well-known name, that is Zhaoguan, which was once the headquarters of Luo Yishui and is now also the headquarters of the central army of Wuling, the general of the Ming Dynasty. When the Qi people retreated, a fire burned Zhaoguan. Now, a brand new towering city wall has once again appeared on this land.

There were gradually more people on the road. Going forward, there were levels set up, and a walkway turned from the road.

"Your Highness, the road is being built in front of us. We need to take a detour. This time, we cannot welcome you from the main gate of Wuling County. I will forgive you for your sins. This is not our rudeness, but because there is a reason for it." Chen also immediately clasped his fists and apologized.

"Building the road? This road is good, why do you need to rebuild it again?" Cao Yun asked, looking at the road beneath his feet.

"Hardening, hardening!" Chen Ye said: "This road looks good and there is no problem when it walks, but the problem arises when it rains. The plum rain season is even more unsightly, so we are planning to use cement to build a road that leads directly to Taoyuan from Wuling. Hasn't it just started construction?"

"Cement!" Cao Yun said softly. He naturally knew this kind of thing. In the Ming Dynasty, this kind of thing was listed as strategic materials and was not allowed to be sold outside. Daqi had obtained some cement samples through some private channels. The characteristics of this thing and his military application were immediately recognized by people like Cao Yun. But like smelting of iron and steel, the method of making this thing was also strictly protected by the Ming people. Qi people could not get in touch with it at all, so it was even more difficult to get these things.

All the cement workshops in the Ming Dynasty were official, and each package of cement sent out was some numbered. When transported there, everything was strictly supervised. It was impossible for Qi State to get these things on a large scale.

But in the Ming Dynasty, they were so luxurious that they used him to build roads.

"Can you take a look?"

"Of course, it's just a road construction, it's not a secret. There's nothing you can't see, but it's just gray and dirty." Chen also looked disgusted.

"It's okay!"

Everyone walked along the way and stopped before stopping. Here they could clearly see the people working on the road.

At the front, several people were operating a strange large iron tube crushing the road. It could be seen that the iron tube was extremely heavy. Wherever they passed, the original road was compacted downwards and crushed flat. But to Cao Yun's surprise, this guy who looked extremely heavy was only two people shaking a handle that looked like a wheel that was lifting water in, which was driven forward.

"What is this?" he asked, pointing at the iron tube.

"Oh, this is specially used for road-blocking." Chen also explained: "Build a cylinder with iron and fill it with cement. After solidification, it will be very heavy. Using him to press the road can save a lot of labor. He will press down on all the uneven ditches and bumps, and all the temple will be flat."

"How can two people operate such a heavy thing?"

"A mechanism!" Chen Ye looked at Cao Yun with a look of the local bun, "The things outside this iron tube are some information about the mechanism. Some people in the Ming Dynasty specialize in researching this. His Highness the Prince must have seen our rushing car on the battlefield, and the truth is similar."

Cao Yun endured the other party's sarcastic expression in silence. As the saying goes, the lineage is blocked and the whole body is unsatisfactory. This is what Da Qi looks like now.

The people who built the road used some wooden boards to separate the paths, and then some people pushed the carts and poured the mud-like things inside into the place where the wooden boards were surrounded. Cao Yun could see clearly that the mud-like things were probably cement, and there were also some big and small stones mixed in it. After the cart left, some men carried hoes and shovels and so on to smooth and compact the mud. Finally, some people carried small shovels to smooth the top flat, which was just enough to see people. After doing these, these people no longer cared about this section of the road, but set out towards the next module.

"That's good?" he pointed to the road.
