Chapter 356 Daao(2/2)

I really need to take a break, relax, and eat something.

Coincidentally, Zhao Xu has not been to Qionglin Garden since he woke up in Qingning Palace.

Taking advantage of this opportunity to take the ministers to Qionglin Garden for fun is also a normal operation for the Zhao officials.

So, all the ministers worshiped one after another: "I will obey your will!"



Exiting from Jiuzheng Gate is Bianjing New Town.

After leaving the city gate, Zhao Xu saw a spacious ring road that was also walled.

This is the second ring road of Bianjing... No, the third ring road!

Because, the first ring is at the foot of the imperial city!

However, Zhao Xu ignored it and just let the driver continue to move forward.

A good drum doesn’t need a heavy hammer!

After today's incident, Zhao Xu believes that the street encroachment situation on the ring road should be improved in a few months?

Of course, to cure the root cause, we still need to adopt policies.

People invaded the streets because the inner city of Bianjing was crowded and narrow, and every inch of land was at a premium.

If you grab it, you'll earn it.

"Take your time..." Zhao Xu looked at the scenery outside the car.

On the section from Old Zhengmen to Xinzhengmen, the streets along the way are also full of illegal construction.

The emperor can use force to demolish it by force.

But it can only be taken care of for a while. Three to five months will be considered as the young and old men of Bianjing, giving face to the Zhao Guan family.

Demolishing it today and building it tomorrow is what the people of Bianjing will do.

And it is impossible for Zhao Xu to go against the entire Bianjing city.

What's more, Zhao Xu knew that the real main force invading the street was the powerful.

The courage of ordinary people is very small.

They finally invaded the street, but they only dared to do it quietly in the corner.

Only those merchants supported by powerful people dare to blatantly invade the main streets of the city and other places in broad daylight.

Because they know that the government can't control it, and they don't dare to.

So, the whole journey was silent until we reached Qionglin Garden.

On this day, spring is bright and flowers are blooming.

The Jinming Pool opposite Qionglin Garden is already crowded with tourists: since the beginning of the Zhen Temple, from the first day of March to the eighth day of April every year, the Zhao officials will open the Jinming Pool to allow people from Bianjing and other places to come to the capital for industrial and commercial visits.

This is called having fun with the people.

This year, because it is the first year of the new monarch's accession to the throne and the change of Yuan Dynasty, the two palaces, at the request of the ministers, specially advanced the opening date of Jinmingchi to the first day of February and postponed its closing date to the eighth day of May.

Because there is a leap month in February this year, this actually adds three more months of opening time.

When Zhao Xu's car passed by Jinmingchi, he suddenly remembered something.

So he called Cai Jing to the car and asked, "Cai Qing, how is Da'ao in Jinmingchi doing now?"

Cai Jing was stunned for a moment before replying: "Your Majesty, Jin Mingchi Da'ao should still be there... I will send someone to have a look?"

Zhao Xu nodded: "Yes!"

Da'ao is a technology that Zhao Xu used as casually as gunpowder during his father's reign.

Like gunpowder, it went in the wrong direction.

The so-called Daao is the dry dock.

The Daao in Jinmingchi is the world's first large-scale dry dock.

It was built in Jinmingchi with only one purpose - to repair the dragon boat that Wu Yue paid tribute to.

This dragon boat is more than twenty feet long, with a dragon head and a dragon tail. There are several pavilions on it, so it is also called a tower boat.

During the reign of Xining, this grandfather ship was no longer suitable for use.

And because of its huge size, repairs cannot be completed in the water.

Therefore, a minister named Huang Huaixin proposed the construction of Da'ao, which solved the problem of being unable to repair dragon boats in the water.

At the same time, the people of Bianjing can still see the large dragon boat more than 20 feet long galloping on the waves of Jinming Pool at the annual Jinming Pool Dragon Boat Race.

Therefore, this thing is used in the wrong place!

It should be placed in Dengzhou, Quanzhou, and Mingzhou to become a booster for the Song Dynasty’s navigation industry!

If it is used in Bianjing, it is only used to repair the dragon boat that entertains the people of Bianjing. It is really a waste of natural resources!

Thinking of this, Zhao Xu called Feng Jing in front of him again and asked: "Feng Jing, where is the minister who gave great advice in the past?"

"Back to everyone, I don't know... maybe you can ask Song Douzhi, Liu Yaban, Shi Douzhi, etc..."
