Winter is also the season when demand is the strongest. Even for the objective profit, Zhu Yan will not allow any problems with the production of honeycomb coal! ...

Yingtianfu, the Imperial Palace.

Zhu Yuanzhang sat in the pavilion of the Imperial Garden, fiddling with the tea set Zhu Yan gave him, drinking tea! At his feet, there was a bucket of honeycomb coal burning. Even though it was winter, with the heat of the honeycomb coal, he would not feel cold sitting here in "July 17"! Zhu Yuanzhang rarely drinks tea!

After all, Zhu Yuanzhang, a rough man, could not understand the taste of tea. For him, all teas basically tasted the same! Recently, he has become fascinated by the art of tea tasting. It's not that he suddenly became interested in tea drinking, but he simply wanted to tinker with these strange tea sets!

"Biao'er, this honeycomb coal is a good thing!"

"Is the inventory in Yingtian Prefecture enough? Don't let the people freeze to death this winter!".

Zhu Yuanzhang asked Zhu Biao beside him while drinking tea.

"A month ago, because of the worry about the shortage of honeycomb coal inventory, Ganzhou was asked to send hundreds of cars of honeycomb coal to Yingtian Prefecture. At least there should be no problem in supplying Yingtian Prefecture!"

Zhu Biao explained with a smile.

"That's good!"

"That means the cement road from Ganzhou to Yingtian is already 70% to 80% open. Otherwise, it would not be easy to transport so many honeycomb coals!"

"The transportation cost alone can save the Ministry of Revenue a lot of money!"

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded and smiled with satisfaction.

This is also talking about the benefits of building cement roads!

"That's true, but the fourth son of Beiping Prefecture also sent a memorial, saying that he wanted to discuss with the Ministry of Revenue to build a cement road to Yingtian Prefecture!"

Zhu Biao nodded in agreement, and also mentioned Zhu Di's desire to build a road.

"The fourth son is jealous of the road built by the fourteenth son!"

Zhu Yuanzhang laughed disapprovingly when he heard this.

He naturally knew what Zhu Di was thinking when he suddenly proposed to build a road, but it was actually normal to have such a thought...

"I think this is a good thing. If the Ministry of Revenue has money, it is not impossible to agree!"

Zhu Biao directly expressed his opinion.

Zhu Yuanzhang glanced at Zhu Biao with some surprise when he heard this, and then chuckled.

He naturally understood what Zhu Biao meant. In fact, building cement roads is a good thing that benefits the country and the people. Not only the cement road from Ganzhou to Yingtian Prefecture needs to be built, but also the cement road to Beiping Prefecture!

To be precise, all the roads in the Ming Dynasty will be gradually replaced by cement roads in the future! At least all official roads must be paved with cement!

First, cement roads can improve the cargo transportation.The efficiency of transportation drives the circulation of goods and makes business more prosperous!

Secondly, it greatly shortens the travel distance and is also more conducive to military needs. Whether it is transporting food and supplies or the imperial army, the efficiency will be at least two or three times higher than before! For example, it takes at least more than a month to escort food and supplies from Yingtianfu to Beiping!

But with cement roads and rubber tires, this time can even be shortened to about ten days! .
