Outside Kaifeng Mansion, northeast.

With the establishment of the Yellow River Water Affairs Governor's Office and the major changes in the two offices in Henan, Pan Deshan, a passionate river management minister, finally gradually began to display his ambitions.

The weather is very nice today.

Early in the morning, there was a thunderous movement of troops and horses in Kaifeng Mansion.

Numerous officers and soldiers escorted the emperor's grandson, as well as the newly-renovated officials of the Sansi Yamen of Henan Province and the Yamen of Kaifeng Prefecture, as they headed outside the city.

All the way to the river, Pan Deshan, the governor of the Yellow River Water Affairs Bureau, had been waiting for a long time with officials from the governor's office.

On the levee, a lot of people have been recruited and preparatory work is being done for the subsequent repair of the Yellow River levee.

With the arrival of the emperor's grandson, there were countless red robes on the entire embankment, and the ground was green.

Pan Deshan was very excited at the moment.

Although he has become the governor of the Yellow River Water Affairs and has been in charge of the safety of the thousands-mile Yellow River for many days, seeing the Emperor Taisun arriving in person today with officials from the Sansi Yamen of Henan Province still made his heart surge.

Although he is already a third-grade governor, Pan Deshan is still only wearing a close-fitting uniform today, and his boots and trousers have long been covered with mud and water.

Pan Deshan, with a rosy face, walked in front leading Zhu Yunxi and other people.

He waved his hand and pointed at the surging Yellow River, and said loudly: "Your Highness, this is Liuyuankou, one of the many ferry crossings on the Yellow River."

Zhu Yunxi looked at the river ahead.

Behind him, Zhu Gaochi, Zhu Shangbing, as well as Pei Benzhi, now the chief official of the Sansi Yamen of Henan Province, Gao Guang, Yu Ma, and a large number of officials all followed Pan Deshan's direction and looked over.

Pei Benzhi served as an official in Henan Province for eight years and is now the chief envoy of Henan Province. He can be said to be the undisputed number one official in Henan Province at that time.

He began to explain to everyone with a soft smile: "After Liuyuankou, you can go to Weihui Mansion to Fengqiucheng, and further north you can enter Beiping Dusi. In the past, most of the supplies of Jiubian in Henan were produced by

Crossing the river at Liuyuankou.

Speaking of which, you may have rarely heard of it, but there are two stories circulating in Liuyuankou, which are touching and can make people cry."

The newly appointed chief envoy of Henan Province seems to be a very interesting person, and he has not become unruly because of the sudden rise in official rank.

During these days of getting along, the new officials at the top and bottom showed signs of being friendly to Pei Benzhi, the newly rising political envoy of Henan Province.

Gao Gaoguang raised his eyebrows and echoed: "Oh? I wonder if Uncle Pei Fang can speak for us?"

Zhu Yunxi also listened attentively, but his eyes were looking towards the endless plain behind the embankment.

The rest of the people looked at Pei Benzhi curiously, waiting for the chief envoy to tell everyone the story.

Pei Benzhi didn't see anyone else. He coughed lightly and said, "One story is too long. I'll cook a few things myself and have a drink with you next time. I'll just talk about another story today. The one named Liuyuan

Girl."

Story, there is a girl.

That must be a tear-jerking love story.

Even though the people present are all dressed as beasts during the Ming Dynasty, who doesn’t like to hear such stories?

….

Yu Ma, who was the commander of the Henan Capital Commander's Department, did not show the calm demeanor of a general. Instead, he urged: "Uncle Pei Fang, don't try to whet our appetites again. Tell us quickly and let us know."<

/p>

On the river embankment, there was a burst of laughter.

Pei Benzhi rolled his eyes at Yu Ma and continued: "Let's talk about this girl named Liuyuan a long time ago. It is said that this girl was extremely beautiful. When she was in her hometown, she was praised and envied by people.

His beauty and appearance.

At that time, there was a court talent show. The Liuyuan girl was recommended as a beauty because her appearance was the best in the place since she was a child. She left her hometown and came here with the intention of crossing the river and entering the capital to serve."

Before Pei Benzhi could continue, Zhu Gaochi coughed heavily: "Uncle Pei Fang, why don't you tell me that other story first?

”

While talking, Zhu Gaochi did not forget to raise his eyebrows at Pei Benzhi.

Everyone present also silently restrained some of their original laughter.

Zhu Yunxi silently looked at the ordinary plain for a while. When he heard the sound of stories around him suddenly stopped, he couldn't help but frown and slap the little fat man on the shoulder.

Then he said to Pei Benzhi: "There has been a draft since ancient times. Since it is a story a long time ago, it doesn't matter."

Zhu Gaochi snorted twice, saying that he was just talking too much.

Pei Benzhi cupped his hands and then continued: "At that time, everyone praised the beauty of the Liuyuan girl. Even her parents and family felt that it was a blessing for the family that their daughter was chosen to be with the emperor. But no one knew it.

, Liuyuan girl’s thoughts and thoughts about her family and hometown.

That day, the girl from Liuyuan was riding a boat on the river. Looking at the gradually hazy villages on the shore, she couldn't help crying. The cry was so sad and sad that it moved He Bo.

In an instant, the Yellow River set off huge waves, overturning the dragon boat, and borrowed the girl from Liuyuan to become a water goddess, guarding her hometown forever. And the name of Liuyuankou was passed down from this."

After saying that, Pei Benzhi couldn't help but want to slap himself twice.

Everyone was silent.

Zhu Yunxi looked at the silent crowd, but smiled, and clapped his hands to make a noise.

He looked at everyone and said softly: "It seems that most stories about the Yellow River are like this."

Pan Deshan immediately bowed to the side and said: "His Royal Highness has worked hard to govern. Now, the Yellow River Water Affairs Governor's Office has been established. I am the Governor of the Yellow River Water Affairs. It will be called Yellow River Anlan. The incident of Liuyuan Girl overturning the Yellow River will not happen again."

Zhu Yunxi waved his hands and said indifferently: "Even if it is a story, it cannot be counted. This is also a fable. It is like a warning bell that always rings above our heads, warning us that the vitality of all living beings and the common people is the most important thing."

Pei Benzhi and Gao Guangguang quickly led the officials to bow and respond.

Zhu Yunxi suddenly laughed, and under the puzzled gaze of everyone, he added: "Speaking of which, you all know about the cement road that is being built from Yingtian City to Hangzhou Prefecture."

[In view of the general environment,

Everyone nodded.

The construction of cement roads in Yinghang has been a hot topic in the DPRK and Central Government this year. Originally, Hanlin scholar Xie Jin wanted to start construction of three cement roads at the same time. In the end, after a competition, one was built temporarily.<

/p>

….

Zhu Yunxi then said: "You may not know that the cement method was also used on countless ditches and rivers in the south of the Yangtze River. The newly built bridges can carry tens of thousands of heavy objects, just like smooth roads."

The emperor's grandson was on the Yellow River, but he talked about the cement roads in the south of the Yangtze River, and the topic changed a bit quickly.

But everyone still understood the true meaning from these last words.

Gao Guangguang quietly raised his head and looked at the hundreds of feet wide Yellow River behind Zhu Yunxi, feeling doubtful in his heart.

Can the method of cement make the Yellow River a smooth road?

Pei Benzhi felt that if the cement method was really useful, it would be a good idea to try it.

If this comes true, wouldn’t the Ming Dynasty be able to turn the Yellow River chasm into a smooth road?

If this thing is really done, the Ming Dynasty will be famous forever. And more importantly, the Yellow River will no longer be an obstacle blocking the north and south of the Ming Dynasty, and the nine sides will also receive stronger support.

Exchanges between the North and the South will become more relaxed.

Zhu Yunxi smiled. He couldn't explain the complexity and difficulty of the bridge project clearly, nor could he accomplish it if he wanted to.

That is to build a bridge across the natural chasm, not to lay a cement road on the land.

The two are completely different things.

But you always have to have hope and imagination, right?

If you don’t even dare to think about it, how can everything in the world come true?

Zhu Yunxi smiled and said: "I hope you all can work together in one place. Maybe one day, this big river and natural chasm in front of us will really become a smooth road."

After speaking

A picture immediately appeared in Zhu Yunxi's mind.

A bridge made of countless huge cement piers spans this river that has been flowing for thousands of years and countless Chinese people can only cross it by boat.

The huge steel structure is like a keel, standing on the bridge. The tough steel rails connect the north and south directions.

Suddenly, a buzzing sound of steam resounded across the vast land.

On the horizon is a line of pure white water vapor, rising from the ground, floating into the sky, and turning into pieces of clouds.

A powerful steam train pulled dozens of huge carriages, clanging and clanging on the rails. In the smoke, behind the carriage window, a Ming Dynasty officer and soldier wearing armor and stomach were revealed, as well as those traveling from south to north.

People looking for relatives and friends.

In the second half of the train, there are new artillery pieces with huge calibers, as well as countless Wugang vehicles and military formation ordnance.

At the end, there are carriages of grain and supplies, merchants’ goods.

All night long, the entire Ming Dynasty became like a whole because of these existences. The blood of the empire was flowing vigorously, bringing sufficient power to the empire at all times.

The whole world knows it!

Sunset is bright, sunrise is bright.

"Your Highness, I and the Governor's Yamen are currently making some superficial attempts at the cement method. Please take the time to give me some advice."

Pan Deshan's shout brought Zhu Yunxi, who had imagined the Ming Dynasty countless years later, back to reality.

Zhu Yunxi's eyes suddenly turned to look at the real Ming Dynasty.
