Chapter 200 Express Regulations
"Except for the fiefs of the Holy Capital and other princes, the streets in the city are flat.
Most of the streets in other cities are loess roads.
Should I ask the people to donate money when building roads? Or should I ask the court to pay for money?”
While slapping Su Manrong's legs regularly, Xiao Chengxian pressed the soles of her feet with his bent index finger from time to time, chatting with her: "My wife doesn't know. I heard that a town official has invested outside the city gate to build a bluestone road leading to the mountain temple.
When the road was opened, the people of the whole city were grateful to each other and surrounded the city gate. After a night, the bluestone slab was stolen, and the remaining roads were bumpy and harder than before."
"Ah?" Su Manrong raised her eyebrows with a gossip, changed into a comfortable position, and looked at her younger brother with one hand with her head squinted.
"Even the bluestone road outside the city gate is remembered, let alone these wilderness ridges." Xiao Chengxian rarely saw that her facial expression was so rich, and she also raised the corners of her lips.
"Is it because I am choking and giving up. Is it just because the people in a certain area like to steal things, so they don't develop?" Su Manrong held his forehead and smiled slightly, remembering the iron manhole cover of a sewer pipe in a city in modern times...
Iron manhole covers can indeed be sold for money. If they are frequently stolen, it can be greatly alleviated by changing to cement manhole covers...
You can’t just not set up sewer pipes just because you are worried about being stolen? Once it’s rainy season, it will bring devastating disaster to the city.
"It's not the reason. It's just that the court's funds are insufficient, and the county lords of various cities don't want to do these thankless things.
That's why it's been put on hold."
Xiao Chengxian listened to Su Manrong being able to point out the shortcomings of this country at will, and his ideas coincided with him.
He had also thought about the proposal of building a road, and had originally thought that he could make a war, and he could come to the palace to meet the saint, so he could have a chat with the old emperor himself.
Unexpectedly, he was robbed of military achievements and was exiled now... Since Shengkang Kingdom is about to encounter natural disasters, why bother to mention the road construction?
Let’s talk about it when the turmoil in the court is over and the new emperor ascends the throne.
"It seems that so many officials in the court are eating, carrying one head on both shoulders, and they can't even think of a plan to benefit the country." Su Manrong thought to himself, didn't they say that the ancients were very smart?
Modern people can study high technology to replace human power, but the ancients rely entirely on their intelligence.
But now it seems that not all people from any dynasty are smart.
"Shengkang Kingdom has been on a downward path since the emperor ascended the throne, and it is useless to say more." Xiao Chengxian shook his head and smiled: "If a wife has a plan that is beneficial to the country, write it down first. When you have the opportunity in the future, you can offer this plan to the monarch of the wise. Maybe you can still be the city lord, county lord..."
Du Xin and his two concubines listened to the two of them talking about rebellious words, and they all stared at the door with their breath. If the official officer heard it and reached the emperor's ears, it would be more than just a confiscation of the house and exiled.
"Ahem, Xian'er, Manrong Zheng'er and Yuan'er should go to the toilet, right?" Aunt Du plucked up the courage to interrupt the communication between the two and suggested stopping and resting.
"Okay." Xiao Chengxian said, then opened the curtain and said to Sansan: "Find a dry place and stop and rest."
For a moment, everyone got out of the car and went to the grass beside them to make it easier. Du Xin and his two aunts accompanied the two children to the toilet, while Su Manrong walked a little further and placed the plastic bags in batches in the space on the thorns and the trunks.
So far, she has put in dozens of supplies, and the supplies contained in them are different, but they are all necessities for survival in the wild.
The group sat in the carriage for three hours, which was six hours long. The internal organs were shaking and all the internal organs were in a wrong position. After getting off the bus and resting, they were not in a hurry to get on the bus.
It just so happened that the horse also needed to drink water and eat grass, so everyone was moving freely on the dry ground.
Originally, she hiked dozens of miles a day, but now she lives in a carriage and cannot stretch her limbs. Su Manrong, who is extremely self-disciplined, must not let her muscles slack off.
"Xiao Chengxian, do you know how to use light skills? It's the kind of light skills that fly and escape from the earth." Su Manrong carried his legs on the carriage one by one, stretching his legs, and laying his waist from time to time.
"Madam, I am a human being. If I can fly, what else can I do with those birds?"
Xiao Chengxian shook his head helplessly: "The so-called light skills are just flexible body and stronger jumping power. Climbing a high-strength building will not be a problem.
If I say I will take off while standing, then I will not be a monster?"
"I thought you, people from the world, could all fly over the eaves and walk around the walls, and go to the sky and the earth." Su Manrong curled her lips, thinking that if she could travel thousands of years, she might have met those fairy tale people, dual cultivation and so on.
"That's all the nonsense of the storytellers. If the script is not written in an exaggerated way, who would still like to listen to it?"
Xiao Chengxian said, then stood behind Su Manrong and held her waist with his hands: "But do more training in daily life, and react faster when encountering dangers. Learning to protect yourself is also a skill. Come on, you can try it."
"Do you lower your waist?" Su Manrong didn't see Xiao Chengxian. Both of them had already had skin kisses, so why both of them cared about this intimate behavior?
She raised her head and flipped her body down without any concern about falling.
After taking a break for a stick of incense, Su Manrong, under the guidance of Xiao Chengxian, has mastered the necessary moves for masters to take action. Although she cannot master the strength of the move, she has learned how to dodge.
You just need to review and practice the dodge from time to time and achieve superb performance.
Not only that, the relationship between the two became closer at a speed visible to the naked eye...
Then the group continued to ride their horses. At this time, it was already drizzling like hair in the sky. They could only close the windows of the carriage so that the rain would not slant in.
The two children were shaking by the carriage, and the adults were bored and sat in their own positions, closing their eyes and taking a nap.
Su Manrong's feet were still placed on Xiao Chengxian's legs. She leaned against her luggage, closing her eyes and pondering.
There were dozens of cities I saw after coming to this dynasty, and the wealth of the Holy Capital was visible to the naked eye.
But the entire country is really only prosperous in the capital... The cities I passed by before, from a distance, just buildings make people feel that the economy is not good.
The fief of King Cheng is as rich as that of the sage capital, but you should know that the fief of the prince is not under the jurisdiction of the court.
It is equivalent to this country having several systems, and the economy of fiefdom will not directly affect the economy of the entire country.
I have to say that she is the king of intra-conversion in the company in modern times. After coming to ancient times, she also wanted to rectify the imperfect management system.
However, the current emperor Laogou is obviously not a wise ruler. If he gives advice, he will be prepared for the final plan...
