From a freeloader to a world leader

"Miss, we are almost at the Shili Pavilion!"

Jinju knocked on the door of the carriage and excitedly informed the Queen and Princess Kewei, who had hardly been out of the carriage during the entire journey.

After a while, two little heads that looked more and more alike, with disheveled hair, poked their heads out of the car window.

"Wow! Where is this? It doesn't look like a long pavilion?"

Yang Kewei looked in front of her, and saw two- or three-story buildings made of red and green bricks standing everywhere. The scene was more crowded than the imperial capital, and she was a little bit unbelievable.

Has this become a long pavilion in a big city just over half a year after I left?

But, with Hengzhou’s unique red brick building materials and black asphalt pavement, where else could it be but Hengzhou?

"It's the pavilion. Miss, look at that big willow tree in front of you on the left? It's the place where the master sang a farewell song for you when he sent us away last time."

At this time, Qian Ruyu also realized that this was the place where she first saw Sun Shan.

Because on that day, Sun Shan rose into the air and performed a move to break the formation under the big willow tree. He accomplished something that helped the king and won him fame during his lifetime and after his death.

Moreover, he beat drums and sang wildly, and was conferred the title of Baron Zhongshan by Emperor Yuanfeng in person.

But there have been too many changes here.

Half a year ago, it was just like a prosperous town. Now, it is probably not much worse than Hengzhou City.

"Yes, I see."

Yang Kewei also found the feeling, and happily smiled at Qian Ruyu, with whom she had become close all the way, and said, "Mother, have you noticed? This Ten-Li Pavilion has changed a lot."

"Well, I've noticed that the situation in and around Hengzhou City is really different every year."

Qian Ruyu urged, "Jinju, tell them to hurry up. I want to go back and take a shower early."

"Good."

Jinju responded crisply, she was also equally excited.

I am also extremely nostalgic for this city, which is full of the flavor of life, where I have stayed for more than half a year.

Because Qian Ruyu was traveling privately this time, in order to reduce unnecessary trouble, there was no official reception along the way.

In addition, the mother and daughter are now of one mind and can stay together 24 hours a day, studying each other's bodies every day, so as to find a happier way to create more intense sparks in the next game with Sun Shan.

For this reason, a few days ago, Yang Kewei even tried to use Mr. Horn to make Qian Ruyu's chrysanthemums bloom.

So that she can adapt in advance, Sun Shan may also explore and dig into her anus.

The closer you get to Hengzhou City, the more prosperous it becomes, and the houses gradually transition from red brick and tile houses to more majestic and taller blue brick and tile houses.

Along the way, there are brand new and grand new buildings. On both sides of the asphalt road, which is wide enough for eight horse-drawn carriages to pass through, two- or three-story buildings are densely packed to form a long passage.

It seems like a pair of giant arms are welcoming travelers to Hengzhou.

Moreover, the shops along the way were doing very good business, and there were even long queues in front of many shops.

Compared to the dilapidated scenes seen along the way, it was like coming to a brand new world.

After entering Hengzhou City, Qian Ruyu was shocked again.

Because many tall buildings were being built in the city, she actually saw a huge building under construction that was five stories high and covered an area of ​​half a mile long.

I couldn't help but ask out of curiosity: "Jinju, why do you ask what this is for? I remember this area didn't seem to be like this before."

Jinju was naturally much more familiar with Hengzhou than the Queen. As a bodyguard and spy, she knew everything about the forces and corners of Hengzhou.

"This land used to belong to the Wang family. I remember they said they wanted to build a hotel there."

As she spoke, Jinju called a passerby and chatted with him for a while.

Then, he reported excitedly: "Master, this land is indeed owned by the Wang family. I heard that a hotel has been built there, and we can eat, stay and relax there in the future."

"Isn't that the same as the Red Mansion? Isn't that stealing our own business?"

Yang Kewei was a little confused and asked back out of curiosity.

"It should be different. I just heard that person say that this hotel will be more professional and higher-end than the Red Mansion."

"Higher than the Red Mansion?"

Qian Ruyu looked at the huge building that was almost disappearing in disbelief: "How much money would it cost to invest in this? Does the Wang family have the financial resources to do so?"

"I heard that there are several shareholders, and Prince Zhongshan also invested. He was the one who proposed this suggestion."

When they heard Sun Shan's name and that it was Sun Shan who suggested it, Qian Ruyu and her daughter looked at each other.

I saw that a spring passion instantly ignited in each other's eyes.

At this time, Sun Shan was accompanying Prince Heng and high-ranking officials of Hengzhou Prefecture on a final comprehensive inspection of the Hengzhou Bridge, which was about to be fully opened to traffic.

"Master Zhang, what do you think of the bridge?"

"Hahahaha, let me try it first------"

The prefect Zhang Ping'an laughed heartily and pushed hard the one-meter-high granite guardrail.

I saw that there was no movement at all.

"Master Zhang, how can you test it? Just kick it with your feet. If you kick it wrong, I will write the ink character upside down!"

When Mr. Mo saw that Zhang Zhizhou just pushed with his hand, he couldn't help but raise his voice as loud as a loud and domineering reminder.

Over the past year, he felt that these were the happiest and most comfortable days of his life.

His own talents and those of the Mohist school were fully displayed and put into practice in the great development of Hengzhou, and even further improved and achieved breakthroughs.

In the past, many ideas and technologies only remained in the oral and book records of our ancestors.

Now, after more than a year of large-scale construction, the Mohist School is far better than before.

As for Ding Susu, she took her son and daughter to live with Sun Shan in his home.

Even when he heard about him and Changmei serving Sun Shan together, he pretended not to hear anything.

For this reason, family members are repeatedly warned at family meetings not to talk too much, or they will be punished severely according to family rules.

"Then let me try kicking!"

As he said that, Zhang Pingan kicked up his feet and hit several guardrails in a row.

I found that it was indeed motionless.

"Okay! Very good! Master Mo, you guys are really taking a lot of trouble. I think this bridge will be safe and sound even after another three to five hundred years!"

"Humph! Three to five hundred years?"

Mo Jiayuan snorted somewhat unhappily: "We in the Mo family guarantee that this bridge will last for a thousand years. If you weren't in a hurry, I would like to use more good methods."

"The Millennium Bridge! Congratulations to Mr. Mo!"

Zhang Pingan was delighted to hear Mo Jiayuan's assurance that the Hengzhou Bridge would last for a thousand years, and he flattered him: "A thousand years later, our Hengzhou and our Chinese land will still have the legend of you, Master Mo. This will be a thousand-year celebration!"

Everyone likes to hear this.

Because the people who came with King Heng to conduct the final inspection had put in a lot of effort for this first large bridge over the Xiangjiang River.

In particular, the two investors, Prince Heng Yang Yuanqing and Yue Yunfei, who had already written their names on the monuments at both ends of the bridge, were grinning from ear to ear.

Imagine that a thousand years later, this bridge will still stand.

Whenever people pass by this bridge, they will stop and look at the monuments at both ends of the bridge, and see what they have done for the world.

I suddenly felt that the 20000 taels of silver were well worth it!
