Chapter 596 The emperor is here

At the end of the Chen hour, a team of more than a thousand black armored soldiers in the east gate of Xianyang City suddenly came out one after another, dispersing the crowds entering and leaving the city gate, and then arranged them for several miles. Then, more than a thousand mighty guards, the imperial guards, were gushing out with swords and black dragon flags, and their steps were neat and majestic. Then, under the escort of hundreds of Xuanwu Guards, six tall horses led the emperor's car slowly out. Qin Shihuang was wearing casual clothes and black jade crowns, sitting upright in the car, looking at the factory and cement factory that were emitting smoke more than ten miles away from the northeast direction, with a trace of indescribable emotion on his face.

"The emperor is traveling, and the pedestrians retreat!"

With the loud scolding of the lieutenant's imperial guards, the emperor slowly drove out of the city.

Behind Qin Shihuang's imperial carriage, there were seven horse-drawn carriages one after another. In addition to Ying Shiman and the five little princesses, the eldest prince Fusu and Ziying followed. The whole family was escorted by thousands of imperial guards and Xuanwu Guards and headed northeast along the road. The black imperial guards were in a strict manner, and the flags were roaring and flipping in the wind, and their majesty made all passers-by look puzzled.

The emperor seems to have traveled too frequently these days.

I just left the south gate yesterday to watch the newly built cement road of the Academy of Sciences. Today, I went out to the east gate to the direction of the factory.

Could it be that I was going to inspect the factory, the legendary fairy-made cement that could produce mud into stone?

Because yesterday the emperor inspected the cement road at the South Gate, this road built by legend using immortal magic has become a hot topic in Xianyang.

There are millions of people in Xianyang City and countless palaces and towns on both sides of the Wei River. Almost everyone who hears the news wants to go and watch it. Therefore, all day yesterday, the entire south of the city was crowded with people, and tens of thousands of people shining against the sun to watch the magical road that turned into stone.

No one who has seen it was disappointed. Almost overnight, a flat and hard stone road two miles long appeared from the Weihe Wharf.

If this is not a fairy art, then there will be no so-called fairy art in the world.

Therefore, after seeing this road, many people knelt on the ground and kowtowed to the road. Some people bought incense and candles to burn incense and worship by the Wei River. The incense in Taiyi Temple became even more popular because the magic technique of turning mud into stone was developed by Qinghe Hou, who was a disciple of Taiyi Immortal Lord.

Starting early this morning, the south gate of the city was also crowded, with only a large number of people watching the cement road. There were even a large number of people arriving in cars and horses to watch the stone road built by the immortal magic. The rich people were offering incense and candles. Therefore, the incense in the south of the city was filled with smoke, which made the people of the Academy of Sciences nervous because many people thought that walking on the stone road built with immortal arts was contaminated with fairy spirit. If there were few people, it would be fine, but now hundreds of thousands of people are coming in a constant stream. Once you are allowed to walk up in advance, the road will probably be broken. Therefore, the Academy of Sciences had to ask the Lieutenant's Mansion to arrange 500 soldiers to protect the road. You can only see, touch, but you must not go up.

So hundreds of thousands of crowded audience could only watch some work slaves carrying buckets to sprinkle water on the road. Many people wished they were these work slaves now, and some even kowtowed to these work slaves and worshiped them. These are not ordinary slaves. They are slaves infected with the atmosphere of immortals and will definitely become immortal slaves in the future...

While these Xianyang people worshipped this cement road, Zhang Cang was already looking for the address for building a bridge according to Chen Xu's plan.

Dozens of craftsmen and craftsmen, as well as many officials from the Ministry of Works, Neishifu, and Shaofu were accompanied. Boatmen were carrying boats to and from both sides of the Wei River. Bundles of measuring ropes were pulled at different locations on the river surface, and observation benchmarks painted with red paint were also inserted everywhere. A large amount of data was collected based on the terrain, water potential, and the situation on the river bank.

This bridge cannot be too long, as it will consume too much cement and steel. Moreover, since there is no experience in erecting such a cross-river bridge, safety cannot be guaranteed.

But at the same time, it cannot be too short. The narrowest part on the Wei River is less than 30 meters, but the narrowest part is often the most turbulent place in the water. If you want to build a bridge pier in the center of the river, it will definitely be very difficult and the danger will also increase. The stronger the water, the higher the strength of the bridge pier. If you cannot resist it in summer, the damage will be greater.

So this is also something that Chen Xu repeatedly explained and advised at the Academy of Sciences.

Chen Xu rarely said about the preparation of the national highway network yesterday. In the past hour, he has been using graphics and data to explain the construction problems of the bridge.

The highway is very simple, just cement, sand and gravel. Even if the quality of the repair is not good, it will not affect anything. At most, it will be repaired in a few years. However, the bridge is different. If an accident occurs, it will be a big deal and it will not be too late to rescue it.

Almost all the craftsmen and craftsmen of the Academy of Sciences regard Chen Xu's words as imperial edict, and with the already strict craftsmanship laws, no one dares to be careless.

The emperor's travel was too loud, only twenty miles apart, but the outposted imperial guards had already reached ten miles apart, and all the villagers along the way kowtowed to greet each other on both sides of the road.

Amid the sound of the horse hooves of the imperial guards, the carriage was slightly bumpy on the newly repaired road. Qin Shihuang was sitting upright on the carriage with a newspaper in his hand. Looking at the road that was obviously renovated, he couldn't help but show a serious look on his face, and then slowly showed a look of pride.

Half an hour later, thousands of troops arrived at Qinghe Villa.

The lieutenant and the imperial guards quickly dispersed and even the flies surrounded by hundreds of acres of Qinghe Villa could not fly in.

Chen Xu had long led everyone in the Marquis' Mansion to greet him. In addition to his family, the servants in the Marquis' Mansion knelt all over the floor.

Seeing the long string of carriages behind the emperor, Chen Xu couldn't help but twitch his face a few times before strode forward and bowed to salute.

"Your Majesty comes from afar, I am missing the opportunity to welcome you!"

"I'm not giving a gift!" After the carriage stopped, Qin Shihuang got out of the car with the help of his servant, then stepped forward and took Chen Xu's arm and said with a smile, "I'm here uninvited today. I should have guessed that I'm very curious about the newly built swimming pool in my house. Let's take a look!"

"The weather is hot, and the swimming pool and swimsuit have been prepared for Your Majesty. Please ask in your Majesty's house!"

Chen Xu was prepared for the emperor's curiosity.

Yesterday, not only did he arrange for people to build roads overnight, but he also replaced the water from the swimming pool, but also asked the Weaver Girl in the mansion to make two pairs of boxer pants for the emperor.

Although these boxers have been spread from the Qinghe Hou Mansion, what if the emperor doesn't like to wear shorts, Chen Xu still made preparations in advance.

"Haha, okay, I'll accompany me to see how luxurious the swimming pool where my daughters are reluctant to part with it!" Qin Shihuang smiled happily and led Chen Xu into the Qinghe Villa. Then a group of Xuanwu Guards rushed in and soon monitored the various parts of the courtyard.

Behind him, a group of little princesses and Fusu Ziying followed him out of the car and entered the mansion.

"Your Majesty, Young Master, please ask for it in the inner courtyard!"

Chen Xu led the way in person, Qin Shihuang followed his son and daughter with his son and daughter. Dozens of Xuanwu Guards were on guard left and right. A group of people quickly came to the small door of the swimming pool. Chen Xu pointed inside and smiled, "Your Majesty, this is the swimming pool~"

"Your Majesty, I will go in and check it out first!" Just as Qin Shihuang was about to enter, a leader of the Xuanwu Guard with a dragon pattern embroidered on his chest stopped at the door.

"Don't use it, you are all guarding outside. You are not allowed to enter without my permission!" The emperor said calmly.

"Your Majesty, don't be anxious. Let the Xuanwu Guard go in and inspect it. I am too casual at home and don't know where there are hidden dangers. If you cause damage to Your Majesty, I will not redeem it for a hundred deaths!" Chen Xu bowed his hands seriously and said.

Qin Shihuang was slightly silent and nodded: "Go in and investigate quickly, and if there are no hidden dangers, you will come out!"

"Here~" A group of black-clothed Xuanwu Guards rushed into the swimming pool, and then... the group of people were stunned on the spot.

A pool made of thousands of snow-white tiles, a pool of clear blue pool water, and a beach pavilion next to it. There are also a few bamboo lounge chairs under the pavilion. Under the bright and warm sunshine, this pool water looks full of endless temptation. Even the emperor guards who have lived in the palace for a long time and have extremely luxurious food and clothing, have experienced and seen the most luxurious and luxurious place in the royal family, but compared with the pool in front of him, the things in the palace seem to be much worse.

After staying for nearly a minute, several leaders came to their senses and directed the Xuanwu Guard to check the grass and trees around the swimming pool. Outside the courtyard wall, you could see the black dragon flag swaying in the wind. It was the lieutenant and the guards guarding outside the Qinghe Villa. After several Xuanwu Guards jumped onto the wall more than meter high to communicate with the imperial guards outside, the group of talents reluctantly swallowed the clear and clear swimming pool and then left the swimming pool.

"Your Majesty, it's safe inside!" said the leader of the Xuanwu Guard clasped his fists.

"Okay, guard the outside world carefully!" Qin Shihuang took Chen Xu's hand and stepped into the small door, then was stunned, and his hand unconsciously released!

When Ziying followed Fusu, he and the princesses did not react much, especially Ziying, who had been thinking about the swimming pool for a long time after he came to play. Before Qin Shihuang could come back to his senses, he took off all kinds of things and then jumped into the shallow pool with a thud. The palace maids who accompanied him were so scared that their faces were pale and they hurriedly surrounded them.

"It's true like a Yaochi, I always thought it was an exaggeration!" Ziying's action of jumping into the water finally woke Qin Shihuang, who was dull, and then his skin twitched slightly and stroked his hands to praise him.

The emperor's reaction was not much different from all those who saw this pool for the first time.

Although Qin Shihuang was the emperor and had seen almost all the most luxurious things in the world, this swimming pool was not something that this era should have. It spanned two thousand years of time and space, just like a mountain village no man who had never seen the world suddenly walked into a luxurious five-star hotel. The shock and luxury would make the soul unable to calm for a long time.
