The Prodigal Son's Happy Life - Chapter 853

[Chapter 853 Who is building the road for?]

New wheels?

King Kang and Gong Lao looked at each other, and they both saw confusion in each other’s eyes.

They really don’t know what new wheels are.

Could it be that the reason why the carriage ran so fast just now was not because of the newly built road, but because of the so-called new wheels?

Seeing Kang and Wang’s confused expressions, the passerby couldn’t help but feel proud, and said: “You two, you don’t know this.

This new wheel was jointly developed by the Materials Research Institute and the Engineering School of Xin’an Houfu.

This new type of wheel is made of a new type of material.

The passerby paused and then said suddenly: “It’s called rubber. It was shipped from Nanyang

.

, Walking on this newly built road is like flying.” When

King Kang and Gong Lao heard this, they were stunned again.

In the past, no matter how fantastic this person’s words were, they would not believe it.

However, now, the facts are before our eyes.

They had seen the carriage just now with their own eyes, and it disappeared from sight with a swish.

The Institute of Materials Research, the School of Engineering

, and what other construction schools are really so powerful?

For a moment, both King Kang and Gong Lao were confused.

They had often heard these three names before.

However, no matter how much I heard about them, I just regarded them as a rabble, a group of roosters and dog robbers.

It’s nothing more than relying on flattery and getting some benefits.

However, what happened in the Sixth Department and what they saw today.

It seems that there are many differences from what I know!

These guys seem to have some real skills!

Both Kang Wang and Gong Lao thought so.

I had a casual chat with the passerby.

Both Kang Wang and Gong Lao continued to move forward.

Both of them remained silent, silently digesting the information they had just received.

After a while, King Kang finally said, “Why haven’t you heard of these craftsmen before, let alone many new materials?” In

just a few days, they saw three new materials.

One is called cement, and the other is the material for building roads. In addition, there is rubber.

They are all new materials, and they are all extremely useful.

Why haven’t I heard of it before?

What does this Materials Research Institute founded by Fang Xiu do?

After listening to Prince Kang’s question, Mr. Gong shook his head and said helplessly: “Your Highness, this is actually the first time I know that this Materials Research Institute is so powerful.”

For a moment, he couldn’t find a good adjective. .

When King Kang heard Gong Lao’s words, he couldn’t help but sigh, and said silently in his heart: “Fang Xiu, Fang Xiu, what kind of person are you!”

At this moment, in addition to being a little afraid of Fang Xiu, King Kang felt more Some admiration.

Although Fang Xiu is his enemy.

But

he still couldn’t help but feel admiration.

Without Fang Xiu, the people of Chu State, the imperial court of Chu, and even the royal family would probably not be able to live as they do now.

Just one sweet potato is enough to make Fang Xiu famous in history.

However, what he did was not just one sweet potato, but many, many more.

There were so many hours and a half that he lost count.

To borrow a sentence.

This is not so scary.

“Your Highness, it looks like the road is still being built ahead.”

King Kang was thinking wildly when the respectful voice came from beside him again.

After hearing this, King Kang looked up and saw many people busy in front of him.

The busy work is of course road construction.

Thousands of laborers worked hard against the sun.

He looked like he didn’t know how heavy the sack was, so he picked it up and walked forward.

Just by looking at it, you can tell how hard it is.

When King Kang saw this scene, he frowned at first, and then relaxed.

He originally thought Fang Xiu was really so kind.

Now it seems that is not the case.

These labors did not go through the Ministry of Household Affairs, which meant that it was very likely that the work they did was not worth the corvée.

Moreover, the work they did seemed to be much harder than the corvee.

In such a scorching sun, no one could take a break.

Obviously, they are afraid of Fang Xiu’s power, so they don’t dare to show any slightness!

King Kang thought so and already had a plan in his heart.

He took a few steps forward and walked up to the laborers who were working. He looked at them with a smile on his face and said, “What are you doing?”

The laborers were all working, and no one heard him. if.

There was only one person who saw King Kang dressed in luxurious clothes and thought he was from the Xin’an Marquis Mansion, so he paid attention.

heard his question.

The laborer was confused. After being confused, he replied angrily: “What do you think you are doing? Building roads!”

When King Kang heard this, he still had the same calm smile, and asked again: “Of course I know what you are doing?”

The road is being built, but do you know who this road is being built for?”

As he spoke, several more laborers noticed King Kang.

King Kang continued with a smile: “If I guessed correctly, you must think that this road was built for the people of Kyoto Prefecture, for your parents and children.

But, let me tell you, Actually no, this road was built for the shopkeepers of these shops in the south of the city. After the road was built, they.”

King Kang had already thought about what to say.

It was nothing more than provoking a conflict between these laborers and the Xin’an Houfu through the matter of road construction.

His main argument was that the Xin’an Marquis Mansion exploited them by building roads.

If the road is built, the people who benefit will be the Xin’an Houfu. They will get no benefit at all and it will be a waste of effort.

In order to anger these laborers.

Then, tell these laborers your identity and tell them that you are His Royal Highness Prince Kang and can help them.

If there is anything wrong with you, just tell yourself.

Then, through this matter and all this hard work, they made a big fuss so that the people in the entire Kyoto Prefecture and even the entire Chu Kingdom knew what kind of person their revered Marquis Xin’an was!

However, as soon as he opened his mouth, before he got to the point, a laborer interrupted him.

“What you said is incomprehensible. Marquis Xin’an asked us to build this road. Naturally, we built it for Marquis Xin’an. For the people of Kyoto Prefecture, parents and children, we built the road for Marquis Xin’an!”

These words As soon as it came out, King Kang’s face froze.

What embarrassed him the most was that after the man finished speaking, there was a huge response.

“Yes, the road was not built for Xin’an Hou, or for whom?”

“Why are you so strange? Where did you come from? Do you want to use us to slander Xin’an Hou?”
