Chapter 89 The First Daughter Is Not Vicious30

Chapter 89 The legitimate daughter is not vicious 30

Zhebu took the emperor to his own village located at the foot of the mountains outside Kyoto.

Duozhe was a country founded by nomadic people. Although it followed the example of Daerong, it built cities on the grasslands and reclaimed land to grow crops.

But they still retain their nomadic nature, doing more grazing than planting.

Just change the nomadic habit to store enough forage in winter, sow grass seeds in spring, and no longer wander around to survive.

Therefore, the style of Zhebu's village is a group of tents, raising a large number of cattle, horses and sheep.

It is not the same as Zhuangzi in the true sense of Da Rong.

It was not convenient to travel by car on the grassland, so the emperor and Zhebu decided to ride horses as soon as they left the capital.

The emperor was riding on horseback, and he saw a tent in the distance, and there was an exquisite building that was obviously in the Dayong style.

This is a loft-style building with carved beams and painted columns throughout the loft, which was the favorite style of Emperor Duzhe.

It's a pity that there are few trees in the grassland. Building such a palace is not an easy task even if he is an emperor.

The emperor looked at Zhebu and said, "This is the surprise you prepared for me. It is indeed very good."

Zhebu said with a smile: "Your Majesty, if you come closer, you will find more surprises than this."

The emperor had long wanted to take a closer look at the attic. Upon hearing this, he immediately spurred the horses to run.

When he was about to reach the attic, the emperor found a wide square under his feet.

The floor is smoother than blue bricks. I don’t know what it was made of.

However, the emperor's thoughts were all on the attic, and he continued to move forward on his horse without looking further.

The loft is built in the middle of this square. You can't tell it from a distance, but when you look up close, you can see that the loft is very grand.

The vermilion walls are very thick, the cornices are hanging on stilts, and the yellow-green glazed tiles make up the roof. The whole building is extremely gorgeous.

The emperor was overjoyed and walked around the attic several times. Then he stood at the railing on the second floor of the attic and looked into the distance.

Zhebu kept following the emperor. When he saw that the emperor was no longer moving, he smiled and said, "Your Majesty, do you like this attic?"

The emperor nodded with satisfaction: "I like it. Such a loft must be worth a lot of money to build. Is it difficult for you, my beloved, to spend so much money?"

Zhebu bent down and said, "I'm ashamed, I don't have much money in this attic."

This attic was built with something called cement as a gift from the eldest son Bao Busha and Bao Qianying, the eldest son of the big businessman Bao Yingying.

This cement is cheap, and when dried with water and mud, it is as hard as stone. Red bricks made from clay are also much cheaper than blue bricks.

A house built with cement and red bricks does not need to use a lot of wood. It only needs to be made of wood for the roof, which saves a lot of wood.

With so many savings, the price of such an exquisite building is less than one-tenth of what it was previously built, which is very low."

There was no need for Zhebu to say the rest, Emperor Duozhe thought of it himself.

With these cements, the palace he has always wanted to build can be started.

There is no need to continue to listen to those nagging ministers shouting that he has no money and is not allowed to be extravagant.

Emperor Duozhe said impatiently: "Where are Bao Bushu and Bao Qianying? I will summon them immediately."

Zhebu bent down and said: "Your Majesty, these two people are now in my village. Your Majesty wants to summon them. I will call these two people to see you immediately."

Wushuang and Qinglu had been waiting outside for a long time. Before meeting Emperor Duozhe, Wushuang put on makeup for himself and Qinglu.

Qinglu's face was darker, his eyebrows were stained with eyebrows, and he had a beard.

There was also a large birthmark on her cheek, which suddenly reduced her beauty to just three points.

At this moment, Qinglu was face to face with his master, Cao Zhong, and Cao Zhong might not be able to recognize him.

Wushuang also had some miscellaneous eyebrows, darkened her skin tone, and added some small freckles.

The reason why he was dressed up like this was for no other reason than that the Duozhe Emperor was a bit lustful, and he was not afraid of both men and women.

Wushuang himself is relatively safe, Qinglu's face must not be seen by Emperor Duozhe.

Sure enough, seeing Qinglu's birthmark and beard, and Wushuang's ordinary face, there was no fluctuation in Emperor Duozhe's eyes.

After Wushuang and Qinglu saluted, Emperor Duozhe went straight to the point.

"The cement you two presented is very useful. I like it very much. Tell me, what reward do you want?"

Wushuang said: "Back to the emperor, Minnu's father wants to build a trade road in Duozhe.

Although the daughter's father was good at business and had a lot of wealth, it was still difficult to build trade roads on such a large scale.

The daughter of the common people hoped that the emperor would allow the people to build trade roads during their military service, so that the father of the common daughter could save some labor costs.

Then he issued an order to ask the local governments not to block the construction of trade roads, so that the fathers of civilian girls would not be embarrassed by the government.

Moreover, the successful construction of the trade road will also have immeasurable benefits for Duozhe, and I also ask for more support from the emperor."

Even a foolish king knows that building roads is something that is good for his country.

Emperor Duozhe naturally would not refuse, and he even went a step further and said: "I can issue a decree to let the people build roads while they are serving.

But I want you to first donate enough cement to build a palace for me, and then build all the roads in the country, so that I can open the door to convenience for you."

This was simply what Wushuang couldn't ask for, but she still pretended to be embarrassed and said: "Your Majesty, it's not that the daughter of the people is unwilling to agree.

In fact, the daughter's father is prepared to subsidize half of the money spent on road construction if he wants to build roads across the country for His Majesty.

This money is definitely not enough, and even the cement is not enough. What's more, if we want to build a palace for His Majesty, all the cement must be given priority to His Majesty.

As a result, the construction of trade roads in various places must be suspended. The most important thing is that the father of the common people really cannot afford the subsidies for so many roads.

Moreover, firing cement and transporting labor cost a lot of money, so the father of the common people is really overwhelmed. I hope the emperor will show his sympathy."

Emperor Duozhe frowned and looked at Wushuang and Qinglu very unhappily. His palace must be built, and he couldn't give up the benefits of building roads.

But he also knew not to push too hard. No matter whether the Bao family really couldn't afford so much money or they didn't want to pay more, he couldn't force it.

Bao Yingying was very cunning. If he didn't come, he would send a pair of children.

And it seems that this son is still useless, and it is all up to his daughter to make a difference.

Even if he was angry and arrested Bao Yingying's children, Bao Yingying could just run away on his own.

When the time comes, he will do his best to help Ye Zhen and Da Rong build roads. When their roads are built, Duozhe will be left behind and beaten.

It is impossible to make him bow his head even though he is a majestic emperor.

Fortunately, as the emperor's confidant, Zhebu spoke up thoughtfully.
