After leaving the palace, Bai Linglong and Nangong Yan did not return to the palace, but went to the military camp.

The soldiers saw him and saluted in unison.

"No need to be polite."

Bai Linglong said, "Everyone has worked hard this time, take a good rest for a few days, but don't relax, be ready to deal with danger at any time."

At this time, General Zhang stepped forward and said worriedly: "Princess, Prince Zhennan, although we have won this time, the Canglang Kingdom will surely give up. We must make plans early.

In my opinion, they may secretly gather their forces and wait for an opportunity to retaliate. We must strengthen our reconnaissance and keep an eye on their movements. ”

Nangong Yan nodded slightly, his expression solemn: "General Zhang is right. Pass the order down to strengthen the patrol of the border posts and pay close attention to the movements of the Canglang Country. If there is any disturbance, report it immediately."

After arranging the military camp affairs, Bai Linglong and Nangong Yan began to prepare for road construction.

They gathered together officials from various ministries and skilled craftsmen.

Bai Linglong was very knowledgeable and explained in detail the properties, production methods and usage of cement. Everyone listened attentively and were full of curiosity and expectations about this magical material.

Thanks to Bai Linglong, the space was well stocked, and the materials for making cement were quickly taken out. People were sent to the mountains to replenish some, and everything went smoothly.

At the same time, in the streets and alleys of the capital, people were discussing the victory and the upcoming road construction project.

At the market, Aunt Wang, who sells cloth, is chatting with Aunt Li, who sells vegetables next door.

Aunt Wang was sorting the fabrics on the stall while she said with great excitement: "Did you hear about it?

The princess and the Prince of Zhennan are going to build a road!

It will be more convenient for us to go out from now on! ”

Aunt Li curled her lips, not believing it: "Is it really that good?

What kind of road can be repaired?

I heard that the cement is black and looks like stone. How can it be easy to walk on? ”

Aunt Wang glared at her and said, "What do you know?

My husband said that this cement road is very flat, even a horse-drawn carriage would bump along it, and it would be hard to avoid stepping into mud on rainy days.

From now on, when we go outside the city to sell vegetables, we can sell more and make the round trip faster! ”

Aunt Li was still a little skeptical: "I hope so. If that really works out, it will be thanks to the princess and the Prince of Zhennan."

On the other side, the teahouse was very lively.

Several strong young men were sitting together drinking tea and talking about road construction.

"Hey, you guys are talking about this road repair, can we go and help?

Maybe you can even make some money! ”

A young man named Aqiang put down his teacup and said excitedly.

"You?

What can I do?

Road construction is really hard work. I heard that you need to know some technical skills! ”

Ah Fu next to him said jokingly.

"What can I do?

I have strength!

It should be okay to move some stones and carry some soil, right?

Besides, I can learn! ”

Ah Qiang refuted in a convinced manner.

At this time, Master Zhao, an old craftsman who had been sitting next to him and drinking tea silently, said: "If you really want to help, you can go and try when we recruit people. You may learn a skill."

Aqiang's eyes lit up: "Really?

Master Zhao, you have to teach us more.

If I could learn the skill of road construction, I wouldn't have to worry about having no food to eat in the future. ”

Master Zhao smiled and nodded: "Okay, as long as you are willing to learn, I will definitely keep my secrets.

This road construction, there is a lot of knowledge to learn..."

The preparations were completed and the workers needed for road construction were quickly recruited.

Bai Linglong and Nangong Yan personally selected people and divided them into groups. They were trained by ministry officials and skilled craftsmen on how to use cement, road construction techniques and safety precautions.

The training process went very smoothly and people got started quickly.

Soon, the road construction project officially started.

Bai Linglong and Nangong Yan were present at the charity event to boost everyone's morale.

“My fellow villagers, this road is not only a passage for us to travel, but also a road of hope for the prosperity of our country.

If we all work together, we can definitely fix it! ”

Bai Linglong stood on a high place and spoke loudly to the crowd.

Everyone cheered in unison: "We are willing to serve the princess and the King of Zhennan and repair this road!"

During the implementation process, the people participated in it spontaneously.

Some brought water and food to the people, and some helped to carry some light tools. Everyone looked forward to the construction of the new road with a warm heart.

Although Uncle Liu from the village is very old, he still comes to the construction site every day to tell people some interesting stories.

It made everyone laugh and reduced their fatigue.

He often said: "Although I do heavy work, I can relieve people's boredom and make them work more energetically."

The construction progress is rapid and the road is gradually taking shape.

Looking at the flat and wide concrete road, the people's joy is beyond words.

“This road is really well built!

From now on, when I go to the city to sell goods, I can make two trips a day! ”

A peddler said excitedly.

"Yeah, I used to go to the city and come back covered in mud, but now it's nice and clean."

A peasant woman nearby echoed.

The children, more so, laughed and played on the new road. They were full of curiosity and love for this magical road.

"Mom, this road is so slippery, it's even smoother than the ground at our house!"

A little boy held his mother's hand and said happily.

Mother smiled and said: "This is all thanks to the princess and the King of Zhennan. You can learn more in the future, but don't forget their kindness."

After several months of orderly construction, the road was finally fully connected.

On the day of completion, a grand celebration ceremony was held in the capital.

People came from all directions and gathered at the new road, cheering and rejoicing.

Bai Linglong and Nangong Yan stood at the starting point of the road, looking at the lively scene before them, feeling filled with emotion.

"This road is the result of the hard work and sweat of so many people. If it is finally completed, it will be a disappointment to everyone."

Bai Linglong said with relief.

Nangong Yan gently held her hand: "This is all thanks to you. If it were your wonderful idea, it would have produced amazing results."

The emperor personally visited the scene and spoke highly of the road construction project: "Bai Linglong, King Zhennan, your road construction this time will benefit the people and will be a great contribution for generations to come.

I will definitely reward you handsomely. ”

Bai Linglong and Nangong Yan quickly knelt down to express their gratitude: "This is all due to your Majesty's wise leadership and the concerted efforts of all the soldiers and the people. We dare not take credit for this."

During the celebration ceremony, the people presented their gifts to express their gratitude to the princess and the King of Zhennan.

Some presented their own handmade cakes, some presented exquisite handicrafts, and some presented their home collection of fine wines.

A white-haired old man came forward and said tremblingly: "Princess, King of Zhennan, this is a couplet I wrote myself. Thank you for the peace and happiness you have brought us."

Bai Linglong took the couplet, which read: "A brilliant strategy builds roads connecting the eight directions, and a wise king protects the country and the people."

She was touched and said, "Old man, you are so polite.

This is what we should do, as long as everyone can live a good life, we will be satisfied. ”

After the celebration ceremony, Bai Linglong and Nangong Yan did not stop.
