Since entering the territory of Dai Kingdom, the eldest princess has been very curious looking at the stones pulled on the carriages one after another.
"Someone, go ask them personally where they are going?"
Liu Heng was actually no stranger to those white stones. These were just limestones, which actually did not have much hardness.
It's usually used to make quicklime, but it's fine for plastering walls, and doesn't seem to be of much use for anything else.
Could it be that a wealthy family nearby is planning to build a house?
Or should we talk about the large-scale construction of a new city? Since they entered the territory of Dai Kingdom, all the people coming and going on the official road are these things.
Can Daiguo consume so many things in one day? Even the emperor Liu Heng feels a little curious now.
"promise!"
The emperor specially appointed him for this trip, and Cheng Bushi was accompanying him. Seeing the emperor speak, Cheng Bushi quickly sent a soldier to the side and brought over a more honest-looking farmer.
"Young man salutes some nobles!"
Seeing the way Liu Heng and his group dressed and behaved, even though this guy didn't know Long Qi, he knew that he was a rare nobleman, so he said with some trepidation.
"Bold! This is today..."
"shut up!"
Seeing that the guy didn't know how to speak, Wang Deyi immediately scolded him, but Liu Heng stopped him before he could finish his words.
"Don't be nervous. I'm just curious. What are you doing with so much limestone? Where are you transporting this stuff?"
Liu Heng was as friendly as an uncle next door. Maybe he felt his kindness, and the man suddenly became less nervous.
"Your Majesty, I am sending this thing to the nearby official kiln. It can be exchanged for a lot of money!"
When he talked about money, the man actually had a smile on his face.
"Can this thing be exchanged for money? This is really a good business without capital. There are not many of them in this mountain! But this is a laborious job. I wonder how much money you can make in a day's work?"
Liu Heng suddenly said cheerfully.
"For a strong laborer like me, although I went out to fight with the king last year and was injured and walked a little lamely, this family has also been assigned a cow. Now I have one cow for each person. In addition to eating and drinking every day, I could earn more than a hundred cash here, and now I can earn three cash a month!"
When he said this, the man slapped his chest and said proudly.
"Can you make three guan of money in a month? That's really a good living! I just don't know, what does this official family need so much lime for?"
"You have really asked the right person about this. Last time I was in the dining hall of the official family, I heard the steward of the kiln say that our king is currently building a college, and it needs to be made in the kiln. Cement, so more than a dozen cement kilns have been built across the country!”
Hearing what he said, not only Liu Heng was stunned, but also the eldest princess next to him was stunned.
They have never heard of what cement is, but with more than a dozen cement kilns built across the country, they understand this sentence!
"Then according to what you said, wouldn't the entire Dai Kingdom be busy with this matter? Does he need so many people to build a broken academy?"
Liu Heng's face suddenly became a little unnatural, and he asked tentatively.
After all, this is a matter that wastes people and money. Spring plowing is about to begin at this time. If he does this, will there be anyone farming in his country?
"I know what you want to say. The land at home has been planted long ago! In order to make more money, hundreds of families in our village have discussed it, and the men have gone to work on the construction site. , women gather together to farm, without delaying either end!"
As the man spoke, a hint of cunning flashed through his eyes, which only made Liu Heng stunned.
I always felt like something wasn't quite right, but when I asked him to speak, he couldn't tell.
As for the rest, if you continue to ask, you probably won't be able to find out what happened. It seems that we can only meet with Liu Deng first and then talk about it.
"Come here, reward him with five thousand coins! Let's go!"
"Thank you, noble man, for the reward, thank you, noble man, for the reward!"
After just saying a few words, he could actually get five pieces of money for free. This made the man immediately overjoyed. This was a great thing that fell from the sky.
After this experience, Liu Heng slowly began to think about it. It would be great if Liu Deng could continue this business for a long time. An ordinary farmer could earn three guan of money a month, and one year. There are dozens of strings down.
As long as this deal can last for a few years, wouldn't the people's lives be much better...
But what on earth is this guy Liu Deng fussing over? To create such a big fuss when building a broken academy, is this guy trying to cause trouble again?
The farther the carriage went towards Jinyang, the stranger Liu Heng's expression became.
There were suddenly more carriages on both sides of the official road. In just one morning, he had actually seen hundreds of carriages!
And these horses pulling carts are almost ready to meet the standards of war horses!
Moreover, in the fields on both sides of the road, there are still many people driving horses to cultivate. This damn thing is really too violent!
But the emperor didn't know that in order to feed these war horses, Liu Deng was really scratching his head and came up with all the ideas he could think of.
Seeing that the spring plowing of Dai State was approaching, people were needed everywhere, but the people could not stop plowing the land, so Liu Deng simply slapped his head and brought a shared war horse.
Simply allocate horses to each village according to the population, and everyone will provide for them collectively, and in return, these war horses can help them with spring plowing!
Although this is also an impossible solution, it has to be said that this policy has greatly facilitated the lives of the people of Daiguo.
Although the children, after eating early in the morning, were driven to the mountains by their families to collect hay.
However, compared to the work done by these war horses, the work of these children is of course insignificant!
The closer we get to Jinyang, the more strange things happen. The official road is lined with carriages, and the bulging bags on the carriages are actually filled with sand!
Even the emperor Liu Heng can't figure out what the country is doing now!
"Your Majesty, His Majesty the Acting King is greeting His Majesty three miles ahead, do you see?"
Just when Liu Heng was confused, Cheng didn't know why he came to report back.
"Let's go, let's go meet His Highness the King. I'm really curious as to why this country is carrying out large-scale construction projects from above. Do they really have money and no place to spend it now?"
Liu Heng had a faint smile on his lips and said something meaningful.
