Jiang Yutong nodded, "This is a good thing, you will know later."
Jiang Yutong clapped his hands towards everyone and said, "Dear ministers, today I am here to show you something new."
The ministers murmured and dusted themselves off, "What good things can there be in a place like this? Is this the place for ministers like us to come?"
Xiao Yifeng glanced at the minister who was speaking, and the minister shut up in shame.
Jiang Yutong didn't care what others said and ordered the manager at the back, "Let's get started."
The steward quickly led the people to pay their respects to the emperor, and then began to work, pushing mud and sand out of the cave. "Everyone, follow me."
The manager led everyone for a while and saw many people working. Some were mixing sand, some were laying stones, and then they spread the sand on the stones, using scrapers to smooth the ground, all in an orderly manner.
"What is this doing?"
"It's road construction, but this road is very flat."
Someone scoffed, "It's all mud. Even if it's flat, it will be washed away by rain and collapsed by heavy objects. It will definitely return to its original state in two days."
Jiang Yutong led people forward to the repaired area.
A flat and smooth road appeared before everyone. "You can go up and walk on it."
When Xiao Yifeng saw the scene in front of him, his eyes lit up. He took Jiang Yutong's hand and was the first to stand up.
Hard and solid, flat and dust-free.
"My dear ministers, please come up and feel it."
Everyone stood on it, and some even jumped on it.
No one expected that the soil would be so strong and firm after it dried. The ministers who had been pessimistic before shut up all of a sudden. Only now did they realize how powerful this thing was, especially the assistant ministers of the Ministry of Works and the Ministry of Revenue. Their eyes were already shining, as if they saw piles of silver waving at them.
"This thing is really good. If this road is paved in Da Qi, our travel speed will be much faster."
Everyone praised it.
Jiang Yutong smiled and continued to lead people forward. When they came to a blocked house, Jiang Yutong clapped his hands, and the cloth blocking the house was immediately lowered, and a simple house appeared in front of everyone.
It can be seen that this house is made of the same material as the road surface just now.
Everyone exclaimed again, "This...this is really an amazing creation."
"It's a good thing. It can also be used to build a house."
The Minister of Revenue took the lead and knelt down, "Long live the Emperor, long live the Emperor, and a thousand years and a thousand years and a thousand years of the Empress."
Xiao Yifeng squeezed Jiang Yutong's hand, and the two smiled at each other, "My dear ministers, please stand up."
Jiang Yutong said loudly, "The material used to build this road and house is called cement. If you have any questions, you can ask the steward one by one."
The steward clasped his fists towards everyone.
Soon, the steward was surrounded by these ministers.
Xiao Yifeng took Jiang Yutong back a step. Looking at the scene before them, Xiao Yifeng bowed to Jiang Yutong and said, "The Queen is truly a noble lady of the Great Qi. It is a blessing for me, Xiao Yifeng, to marry you."
Jiang Yutong leaned to the side and said angrily, "The ministers are watching. They'll say you're too accommodating to me."
Xiao Yifeng stood up straight, "Why not?"
Xiao Yifeng took Jiang Yutong back to the palace first. After a while, many ministers submitted memorials, all of which were about how to use the cement, how to use it, and where to use it. Everyone was vying to get a piece of the pie.
Xiao Yifeng showed Jiang Yutong some good suggestions, and Jiang Yutong gave some advice.
Soon, Da Qi became busy. The construction of roads started from the palace because a large number of workers were needed. Because of this, the entire economy of Da Qi was revitalized, and Da Qi became unprecedentedly prosperous.
There are fewer beggars wandering the streets. Some of them have gone to build roads, and some have opened small stalls selling noodles and buns, and they do quite a bit of business.
Since others were busy, Jiang Yutong had nothing to do. There was no more minister advising Xiao Yifeng to take a concubine. As for the matter of the prince, no one talked about it openly.
In addition to this incident, in the first year of Jingzheng, Xiao Yifeng was preparing to hold an imperial examination, and Yu Xueyi was about to take the exam.
At that time, the imperial examination lasted for nine days, with one session every three days. Students had to stay in the examination hall for three full days. This was not only a test of their knowledge, but also a test of their physical and mental health.
Jiang Yutong left the palace specifically to cheer Yu Xueyi up because he was about to take an exam.
After checking the things he brought one last time, he asked, "Did you bring everything?"
Jiang Yutong muttered.
Yu Xueyi nodded, "I've brought everything."
Jiang Yutong flipped through it and said, "This dried meat can be stored, take some more."
During these three days, the examinee will have to eat, sleep, defecate and urinate in the small examination room, so Jiang Yutong brought him some dried meat to keep him full. The dried meat is also quite nutritious. If he doesn't eat well during the exam, let alone take the exam, it would be a good thing if he doesn't fall ill.
Yu Xueyi smiled and said, "I've brought them all."
Jiang Yutong sent the person to the door, arranged for the servant to wait in front of the examination hall, and then returned to the palace.
These days, Jiang Yutong has been like a parent of a student taking the college entrance exam. He is so worried that he can't even enjoy his meals.
Xiao Yifeng smiled and said, "Fortunately, our children won't have to take the imperial examinations in the future, otherwise I don't know how worried you would be."
Jiang Yutong also felt relieved, as the imperial examination was indeed not an easy road.
After enduring nine days of exams, Yu Xueyi lost a lot of weight and slept for a whole day at home before he recovered.
Then it’s time to wait for the results to be announced.
Jiang Yutong paid more attention to the test results because of Yu Xueyi, and would ask Xiao Yifeng from time to time, "How is the test paper grading going?"
Xiao Yifeng shook his head. "The provincial examination papers are graded by each locality. They haven't been submitted yet, but they will be soon."
As a result, Xiao Yifeng checked to see if Yu Xueyi's name was on the list as soon as the report was submitted. Seeing Yu Xueyi's name on the list, Xiao Yifeng breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, if he was not on the list, Jiang Yutong would definitely be disappointed.
At night, returning to the palace, Xiao Yifeng smiled at Jiang Yutong and said, "I have good news for you."
Jiang Yutong thought about the time and immediately jumped up, "Are the test results out?"
"Did you pass the Yixue exam?"
Xiao Yifeng nodded, "Now you are happy."
Jiang Yutong pulled Xiao Yifeng's arm and jumped a little, "I'll tell Xueyi right away."
Xiao Yifeng held her hand and said, "Of course, it's more fulfilling to look at the leaderboard for this kind of thing. You shouldn't go."
Jiang Yutong thought about it and agreed. "Then I'll go see if there's anything suitable for Xueyi to give. He's definitely going to celebrate his high school graduation."
After saying that, he was about to get up and go to the warehouse, but Xiao Yifeng stopped him and said, "Don't worry, we'll talk about it tomorrow."
Jiang Yutong was pulled to sit in Xiao Yifeng's arms, "My birthday is in a few days, what gift are you going to give me?"
