Chapter 175 You will be members of the royal family from now on
It only took one day to lay the cement, but then we had to wait for it to solidify and be compacted, which was all hard work.
It will take about 5 days to complete all of this. This is the first time they have built a road surface like this, so they are a little confused and it is normal to work slowly.
After the road surface has completely dried, the entire road surface is very flat and hard to walk on.
It is a little higher than the ground, so you can avoid mud on your shoes on rainy days.
When the master craftsmen saw the results of their work, they were a little shocked. They didn't expect that they had actually made it.
They jumped on it in surprise and found that it was hard and did not become soft.
And it is also very convenient to clean this way, and there will be no more dust on the ground.
They were so shocked as if they had discovered a new world, they couldn't believe that they had made this.
Chuntao and the others also went up and stepped on the road. They had never seen such a clean road before.
When Xia Xuan arrived, he saw them stepping back and forth on the cement road, with very happy looks on their faces.
Xia Xuan was shocked when he saw the brand new road surface, but he didn't show it on his face.
When I stepped on it and felt the solid road surface, I was even more shocked.
This one really worked!!
When they found Xia Xuan, he was planning his future. They knelt on the ground and saluted in panic. Only Xia Qingqing happily ran to Xia Xuan's side.
"Dad, look, it really worked!!"
Xia Xuan looked at Xia Qingqing lovingly, nodded and said.
"Yeah, Daddy saw it."
Seeing the master craftsmen kneeling on the ground, he said.
“You guys built this road?”
They had never seen the emperor before, and they were terrified and kept their heads down, not daring to raise them.
"Yes, we did it."
Their voices began to tremble, and Xia Qingqing said with a smile.
"Don't be nervous, Daddy wants to reward you."
Seeing that they were about to faint from fright, I said this to prevent them from actually fainting from fright.
After hearing Xia Qingqing's words, they became even more frightened.
"I dare not. This is what I should do."
Xia Qingqing shook her head. She could understand it. After all, her father's aura surprised her even when she first saw him.
Xia Xuan's tone became better. "It's okay. You have completed this road surface. This is a big deal for Longxia Country. I will reward you well."
After hearing what the emperor said, they lowered their heads, looked at each other, and finally expressed their gratitude.
"I will reward you with a thousand taels of silver and make you my imperial craftsmen!"
Xia Xuan's voice kept repeating in their minds. Imperial craftsman?!
So they will be members of the royal family from now on?
"You will be members of the royal family from now on!"
Xia Qingqing confirmed their thoughts, and they did not have time to doubt why Xia Qingqing knew what they were thinking.
They were all shocked by this surprise, and now they have become members of the royal family!!!
The joy on their faces was beyond words, and they were at a loss as to what to do.
Only at last did they remember to thank En. Xia Xuan did not blame them for this. These things were just trivial matters.
"You can't tell anyone about this road construction method. If I find out, you know the consequences!"
This is a combination of kindness and severity. I gave them some benefits at first, and now I tell them my plans.
It’s actually not easy to be a royal craftsman.
After hearing this, the pros and cons of this matter immediately came to their minds.
Although I won't be able to make a lot of money from this in the future, the thousand taels of silver I gave them will be enough to last them a lifetime.
Besides, they are now royal craftsmen and will definitely receive salaries in the future, so this amount of money is nothing.
"Yes, we will definitely keep it in mind!!"
At this time, Xia Xuan's mouth corners were raised, and he seemed to be in a good mood. Looking at the newly built road surface, he felt very happy.
"Okay, now that we know how to do it, let's renovate the inside of the palace."
"I'll leave the details to the princess."
Xia Qingqing was stunned when she saw Xia Xuan moving away quickly. What did he mean by leaving everything to her?
Just now she was mocking them for not being able to take private jobs after becoming royal craftsmen, but she didn't expect that it would be her turn the next second?
I really have become a clown.
He had no choice but to accept his fate and looked at the craftsmen.
"Then let's finish the pavement inside my palace first, and then slowly work on the outside."
After doing it once, they already know how to do it, and it will be much easier for them to do it afterwards.
The interior of Xia Qingqing's palace was completed within two weeks and began to slowly extend outside.
Since there are many women in the harem, and they are all outsiders, they thought about it.
The palace was used as a road surface, and the concubines inside would go to other palaces to live for a few days. This way, the problem would be solved.
After all, a woman's reputation is still very important.
It took two months to renovate the roads in the palace. In two months, the palace looked brand new.
Everyone thinks that the current road surface is very good and much cleaner. In the past, we were always covered in dust when we went out.
Now when I go out, I see clean and tidy roads, which makes me feel much better.
The happiest ones were the palace maids who were responsible for sweeping the floor. It would be much more convenient for them to sweep the floor from now on. On normal days, dust would appear after a short while of sweeping, which made them very tired.
Now that the new road has been built, they no longer have to worry so much.
In order to build the road, Xia Xuan even stopped the ministers' morning court sessions for a few days.
When they started attending the morning court again, they discovered that the palace was different.
The road surface when they came in was clean and tidy, very flat, without the slightest bump.
This made them very curious. What happened in the palace in the past few days? Why did it become like this?
You know what, this is a pretty good idea. They even want to tidy up the roads in their own house.
I don't know who made these.
They all had ulterior motives and wanted to recruit the people who built this road under their command, so the first thing they thought of was building the road.
If this reputation falls on them, then...
But Xia Xuan would not let them succeed, and he started to speak it out in the court.
"My dear ministers, you should have noticed something different on the way here, right?"
