Chapter 159 To get rich, build the road first
Half a month later, Zhang Hengyu and his team had already produced the cement.
The moment the cement took shape, the researchers involved in the research were so shocked that they happily turned around in circles.
Zhang Hengyu immediately ran to the palace to find Ye Yanxing to report the good news.
"Master! Prince!" Zhang Hengyu called out as soon as he entered the door.
"Uncle Yang, where is the prince?" Zhang Hengyu met Uncle Yang on the road and pulled him aside to ask.
"Master Zhang, the prince and the young master are in the garden. What's the hurry? Why are you in such a hurry?"
"Thank you, Uncle Yang! I'm going to find the prince! It's not an urgent matter, it's a good thing!" Zhang Hengyu said as he ran towards the garden.
"What good news makes you so happy?" Uncle Yang looked at his back, shaking his head and talking to himself.
When he arrived at the garden, Zhang Hengyu saw Ye Yanxing and Fu Qianrun in the pavilion at a glance.
"Master!" Zhang Hengyu walked over quickly, stood up and saluted Fu Qianrun, "Greetings, Master."
"What's the matter? You look so anxious." Ye Yanxing glanced at him, looking impatient and not steady at all.
"Master, cement has been developed!"
"Oh?" Ye Yanxing put down the teacup in his hand, "Where is it?"
"Reporting to the master, it's at the glass factory." Most of the people involved in cement research were the same people who previously developed glass products.
"Madam, shall we go over and take a look together?" Ye Yanxing asked Fu Qianrun.
"it is good."
He wanted to ask this question when Zhang Hengyu was reporting just now.
He had never been involved in the affairs of the glass factory, but he did not expect that Ye Yanxing had quietly developed cement.
Thinking of this, Fu Qianrun was also extremely excited, as this would allow their construction equipment to be upgraded.
The glass factory was far away from the city, and the three of them rode there on horseback.
Fortunately, Da Wang and Xiao Hei are not at home, otherwise I would have to go with them.
The three of them came to the glass factory, and Zhang Hengyu took Ye Yanxing and Fu Qianrun to the laboratory.
Ye Yanxing hasn't been to the glass factory for a long time. There have been some changes here, and things that didn't exist before have gradually been improved.
The production lines are also divided into categories, and they are no longer all produced in a unified manner like in the beginning, which was very mixed.
The management scale is also very mature, which shows that Zhang Hengyu is very good at business management.
He is bolder and more creative than Cheng Yu, and has stronger execution ability.
Cheng Yu mostly followed orders and did things.
He did whatever Fu Qianrun asked him to do.
As for Zhang Hengyu, Ye Yanxing basically only gave an idea, and he was responsible for the rest.
In the laboratory, the cement on the ground has solidified.
"Master, Young Master, look, this is cement." Zhang Hengyu pointed at the small lump of cement and turned to ask Ye Yanxing, "Master, can this kind of cement be used?"
Ye Yanxing touched it and found it was not as good as modern ones, but it was good enough for the standards here. "It's OK. It can be used."
When the other people in the laboratory heard that Ye Yanxing and Fu Qianrun had arrived, they hurried over and said, "Greetings, Your Majesty! Greetings, Young Master!"
"No need for the gift." Ye Yanxing said, "These are the fruits of everyone's hard work, give them all away!"
"Thank you, Your Highness!" Several people hurriedly saluted.
They lived up to expectations and developed cement, which not only gave Ye Yanxing a very good explanation, but also made a major contribution to the development of Qingli.
These rewards were what they deserved, so they naturally would not refuse.
Even if there is no reward, they will still be happy.
"Okay, go ahead and do your work. We'll just take a look around."
"promise."
Everyone else left and Zhang Hengyu went to do his own thing.
Only Ye Yanxing and Fu Qianrun were left in the laboratory.
"Your Highness." Fu Qianrun took Ye Yanxing's hand and leaned into his arms, "Thank you."
"Isn't it our duty to build a home? Now this is my home too." Ye Yanxing placed a kiss on his brow.
"Yeah." Fu Qianrun leaned on Ye Yanxing and felt that he was really lucky.
Ye Yanxing is a person with a real sense of responsibility.
"Where will you build first, Your Majesty?"
"Let's build the road first. Once transportation is convenient, everything will be convenient."
"Don't we build a defensive wall first?" Fu Qianrun raised his head and blinked.
Ye Yanxing rubbed his head, messing up his hair, and then gently smoothed it down, "Now our city walls are still strong enough to resist foreign enemies."
"Madam, have you ever heard the saying that if you want to get rich, you must first build roads?"
"Hear it." He saw it when he was watching TV in the space.
“So we have to build the road first, but if we have enough manpower, we can do both at the same time.”
"it is good."
Fu Qianrun calculated the manpower situation in his mind and found that it might not be enough. He was already thinking about how to recruit people.
"Your Highness, please leave the construction of the city wall to me. I will arrange the manpower." Fu Qianrun took the initiative to take on this task.
"Okay!" Ye Yanxing smiled. It was rare for Fu Qianrun to take the initiative to do something. "Then I'll leave Fufeng City to Madam."
Fu Qianrun took on this task because he had a group of soldiers who had retired from the battlefield.
Some of them injured their hands, some injured their feet, which did not affect their lives, but after returning home they did not receive any care and attention from their families, but were instead despised.
These people are not very old.
After Fu Qianrun learned about this situation, he took the initiative to ask his men to gather them together.
They are all people who have made contributions to the country. It would have been fine if he didn't know about it, but now that he knows, he will definitely give them a meal.
Fu Qianrun wanted to take on the task of road construction, but the project took too long and it was not suitable for him to stay away from home for a long time.
"Oh, by the way, after the city wall is built, Madam can also build houses on the open space in the north of the city. One side can be used as a residential area, and the other side can be used as a commercial area..."
Ye Yanxing provided him with ideas.
After listening to it, Fu Qianrun also thought it was feasible. He had seen modern commercial streets, and as soon as Ye Yanxing mentioned it, he had an idea in his mind.
"Okay." He was eager to try. "I'll get started when I get back. Is there enough cement?"
"Don't worry, there will definitely be enough!" Zhang Hengyu said that the raw materials are easy to find.
"That's great." Fu Qianrun had never really looked at the glass factory. "Your Highness, I want to take a look around."
"Okay, I'll take my wife to have a look."
The glass factory has expanded in scale. At the beginning, it only had one factory building, but now it has expanded to five.
When the two finished the tour, it was already afternoon.
"Your Highness, Young Master, would you like to stay for dinner?" When they passed by the cafeteria, the lady working there warmly invited them to stay.
"No, let's go home and eat." Ye Yanxing declined the old lady's kindness.
The glass factory not only provides accommodation, but also food, providing three meals a day for free.
Most of the workers here live in the factory dormitories, and only a few live back home in Floating Wind City.
Just as Ye Yanxing and Fu Qianrun reached the factory gate, Zhang Hengyu also came out.
"My Lord, my Lord."
"Well, are you done?"
"Busy working."
"Then let's go back together."
"okay!"
The three of them came together and went back together. When they were almost at the palace, Zhang Hengyu separated from them and walked towards the county magistrate's mansion alone.
