The abandoned wife married into a wealthy family, and the scumbag father wailed every night

Workers in the paper mill have already started working at their posts according to the procedures for which they had been trained long ago.

The first step in making paper is to turn trees into sawdust and then beat it into pulp.

Workers first put the trees into the wood chipper, and then a row of workers above the wood chipper start stepping on the wheels under their feet, and the wood will move down the vertical shaft.

The bark of the tree trunk will fall off due to the mutual collision of the rollers. The barked logs will enter the cleaning area, and after being cleaned, they will enter the roller with blades again and be cut into fine wood chips.

The wood fibers are then soaked in hot water and steamed to make them finer and softer, thus making paper pulp.

Finally, the pulp is mixed according to a certain proportion, the remaining water is drained, and then after drying and flattening, the paper is made!

Xie Yiyao looked at the well-trained employees and saw them carrying out their tasks in an orderly manner, and expressed her satisfaction.

.........

On the bumpy official road.

In a fairly luxurious carriage, Emperor Wende, dressed in casual clothes, looked pale.

He had been pampered for so many years that he could no longer stand the bumps and fatigue of the journey. Several days of continuous travel made him a little exhausted.

However, Emperor Wende only looked a little pale, and his back was still straight. After all, he would take one pill given by Xie Yiyao every day.

Although I am tired now, I am still in good spirits.

Along the way, Emperor Wende felt a little depressed.

This was the Deng Xiaoping under his rule, a place of poverty and destitution, without even a decent road.

He really has no face to face his ancestors!

Jiang Debao saw that Emperor Wende was depressed. As the emperor's personal eunuch, he naturally had the responsibility to comfort the emperor, so he hurriedly said casually:

"Alas, it's because the production of stone slabs is too time-consuming and laborious. The emperor loves the common people and can't bear to see them bear too heavy corvée, so he has never ordered the construction of the road."

"It's just that Your Majesty has been thinking about the people, but in the end you suffered. Your Majesty has had too much hardship along the way."

After hearing what Jiang Debao said, Emperor Wende felt relieved instantly.

Yes!

Building roads was too costly and labor-intensive, so he did not impose additional labor service on the common people and did not ask them to build roads for the sake of the common people. He loved the people like his own children and could not bear to see them suffer, so in the end he could only suffer himself.

However, the further north he went, the poorer he became, which really didn't make him happy at all!

He even no longer had any hope for Yanjing under Feng Junyi's governance.

In such a barren place, even if his son had supernatural powers, he would be powerless!

In addition to Jiang Debao, there were Lord Zhou and the Minister of Revenue in the carriage. The two looked at each other and were not surprised by Jiang Debao's nonsense.

But now they have something important to think about, which is to persuade the prince not to set up an academy where common people can study.

Reading is a privilege reserved for saints and wise men, and it is the exclusive privilege of the noble class. Common people are of low status, and if everyone reads, there will be no way to control the common people.

Then the interests of these nobles would definitely be greatly damaged.

"Da Deng is the largest of the four countries, but it is also the poorest because a lot of land is uncultivated. The people are so lazy that they would rather starve to death than cultivate the land."

Emperor Wende looked at the large tracts of abandoned fields along the way and said with some regret.

As soon as he finished speaking, the Minister of Revenue looked at Emperor Wende with an indescribable look, then quickly lowered his head.

It’s not that the people are lazy; it’s because the taxes are too heavy, the land is too barren, and the grain yield per mu is too low.

After a year of hard work on land reclamation, it's still not enough to pay the taxes!

In this situation, even the nobles who owned the most land did not have the ability to reclaim the wasteland, let alone the common people.

The officials accompanying him obviously understood this, but they would not remind Emperor Wende.

If the emperor knew about this kind of thing, he would definitely be furious, and might even vent his anger on others. No one is willing to do such a thankless task.

Suddenly, the carriage stopped abruptly!

The sudden emergency brake caused everyone in the carriage to rush forward by inertia. Only because Wende was a martial artist and had been nourished by Xie Yiyao's elixir during this period, he was able to stabilize his body.

Jiang Debao looked at Emperor Wende with a pale face, then he lifted the carriage curtain with gritted teeth, and the aura of the chief eunuch suddenly emerged!

He looked at the driver with cold eyes:

"How do you drive?"

However, before Jiang Debao could finish his words, he stared ahead in amazement, his body remaining motionless.

Emperor Wende had never seen Jiang Debao lose his composure like this, so he looked up.

Under the sun.

Emperor Wende, Lord Zhou, the Minister of Revenue, and officials in the other two carriages following closely behind theirs.

At this moment, they all got off the carriage with dull eyes, staring at everything in front of them with wide eyes!

In front of them was a wide and flat road. They didn't know what it was paved with, but it looked very smooth!

The entire road unfolds like a scroll, with no steep slopes and no bends!

Feng Junqi also looked at the road in front of him with an expression of disbelief. He glanced at Su Yunyi beside him with a complicated look.

Could this be made of the cement she mentioned?

Didn’t she say that making cement is extremely difficult and that one has to slowly experiment to succeed?

Why Feng Junyi not only succeeded but also paved the way!

Thank you Yiyao!

It must be her!

She is also a time-traveling woman!

Su Yunyi confessed everything to Feng Junqi, including the fact that she and Xie Yiyao were both time-travelers.

She even took him to that amazing mall, where he was overwhelmed by the things in it.

But even though Su Yunyi had so many magical things, she didn't know how cement was made. How did Xie Yiyao know that?

Isn't she just good at medicine?

Feng Junyi suddenly felt a little regretful. In order to make fun of Feng Junyi, he heard that his father was going to Yanjing, so he rushed back to the capital without stopping, thinking of following his father to Yanjing first, and then taking his father to Gucheng.

Under the sharp contrast between Yanjing and Gucheng, my father will definitely be able to see who is the one who can inherit the throne!

He originally thought that with the help of Su Yunyi, he had built Gucheng very well.

He even felt that in some places, Gucheng was better built than the capital.

But now looking at the road in front of him, Feng Junqi suddenly felt a little unsure.

Su Yunyi also looked at the road in front of him in amazement. Xie Yiyao actually knew how to make cement!

Of course, a road alone would not be enough to make these important officials lose their composure. What made them feel incredible was the farmlands on both sides of the wide road!

Neat farmland!

Lush green farmland!

There are actually rape flowers in full bloom!

The green farmland and the yellow flowers, the scene was too beautiful and too shocking. They had never seen such a beautiful scene even in paintings.
