After visiting three breeding farms, the Marquis of Jiangyin touched his slightly bulging belly and sighed deeply.

It has to be said that the food in the manor is really good. His Royal Highness the Prince of Qi, I don't know where he got so many different dishes, and the dishes he eats every day are not the same.

These days, the Marquis of Jiangyin has been living in luxury in his estate and has gained weight from eating.

And away from the court, my mood seems to have improved a lot, and my body is much healthier than before.

Zhu Cha knew that his cheap father-in-law, according to the original historical trajectory, would pass away in about five or six years.

But since the Marquis of Jiangyin has become his father-in-law and the Wu family has become one of his supporters, he naturally will not let the Marquis of Jiangyin die easily.

This place is far away from the court, with good food, drink, sleep, and mood. As long as you pay attention to maintenance, it's not a problem to live a few more years.

As for the construction of the Qi Wang Mansion, he also had some calculations in his heart. Now the silver in his hands is pouring in, and it won't be long before he accumulates a lot of wealth in his hands.

Take out a portion first and let the old man build a house. There's no problem at all. He earns while the old man spends, which is more than enough.

Moreover, it won't delay his own road construction. Anyway, at the beginning, he didn't plan to spread it all over the Qi region. He first built the Qingzhou area and made a sample before proceeding.

Before His Majesty's reply arrived, Zhu Cha had already started building the road.

A large amount of asphalt, after being exchanged from the system, is stored in the newly built workshop.

The soldiers exchanged by Zhu Cha from the system loaded asphalt onto trucks and transported them out, which were then taken over by people from the Qi Wang Mansion and finally transported to designated locations for road construction.

All tools, compared to later generations, are very rudimentary, but the entire process of building roads, simplifying complexity, is actually not that complicated. Especially Zhu Zhan has exchanged all the necessary items from the system, and some materials can be purchased directly from the market with money.

As for people, there is no shortage.

He hired a large number of long-term and short-term workers, gathered at the construction site, busy and enthusiastic.

On both sides of the construction section, wooden fences are used to block traffic temporarily. Pedestrians can cautiously pass through from both sides, while carriages can only take detours.

Road construction has been a major undertaking throughout history, requiring significant human, material, and financial resources.

As long as it is a construction site, there will inevitably be a large number of laborers gathering here.

Some of those who participate in such large-scale projects have mandatory requirements and are recruited, which is equivalent to serving in the military. Many times, there is no salary or wages, just managing meals, which is a voluntary labor.

But this time it's different. Everyone is participating in this big project under the name of Qi Wangfu's long-term or short-term workers. In addition to ensuring their daily meals, everyone also receives their wages!

This has made the people increasingly fond of His Royal Highness the Prince of Qi, and their reputation has gradually accumulated.

In the eyes of some high-ranking officials and nobles, Zhu Cha was expelled from the capital and was the least valued prince. Nowadays, in the capital and in the circles of the upper class, he has even become a joke.

I arrived in Qingzhou in a panic, but I didn't even have a place to live. I still live in a rundown estate to this day.

What kind of people usually live in this level of estate? It's usually a place where only wealthy landlords live. How can it match the identity of a prince?

This is also the reason why the governor Tiexuan did not take Zhu Cha seriously at the beginning.

But in the eyes of ordinary people, Prince Qi is the best prince!

What kind of Crown Prince Zhu Biao, Yan King Zhu Di? No one cares and hasn't heard much about them.

But His Royal Highness the King of Qi, upon arriving in Qi, has already brought tangible benefits to many people.

The salt sold by His Royal Highness the King of Qi has a very high cost performance ratio, and it has forced the price of salt to drop significantly.

His Royal Highness the Prince of Qi has brought two high-yield crops to Qi. Many landlords and wealthy households have received free seeds from His Royal Highness the Prince of Qi, without spending a penny. After harvesting, they only need to give 30% to His Royal Highness the Prince of Qi. It is said that the yield per mu is 100 stones!

This year, due to time constraints, ordinary farmers are not divided. Only those with more land can receive potatoes and sweet potatoes as crops. But it is said that starting next year, anyone who has land in Qi will soon register and receive free potatoes and sweet potatoes from the Qi Wang Mansion for grain cultivation.

These are all tangible benefits.

As for working as a long-term or short-term worker in the Qi Wang Mansion, it is even more evident of the character of His Royal Highness the Qi Prince.

No matter long or short term workers, they can feed themselves with rice every day. This is dry food, not rice porridge that fools people.

Moreover, each meal can be allocated a certain amount of stir fried dishes. That's called a fragrant aroma, even potatoes that have never been seen before have been made into vegetables.

Oh my god, many high-ranking officials and nobles have never tasted this dish before. They have tasted the taste first, thanks to the glory of Prince Qi!

And the most admirable thing for the people is that as long as they work under the hands of His Royal Highness the King of Qi, they can get two pieces of pickled vegetables every day. Be good, the salty ones are so salty that even the salt particles can be seen with the naked eye!

Many hired workers cannot eat so much on their own, so they collect it and take it home, which can replace salt!

This is equivalent to earning a large sum of money in addition to the wages!

Moreover, salt is often not something that can be bought just by wanting to buy it.

It's better now, as long as I work at the Qi Wang Mansion, I won't have to worry about salt anymore in the future!

On the construction site, the workers shouted slogans and compacted the exposed surface. On both sides of the road, stone blocks were used as edges, making it look very neat.

Subsequently, trucks of asphalt were transported over and poured onto the ground.

The onlookers around were all discussing and exchanging ideas.

Asphalt is not particularly rare and was quickly recognized, but with so much asphalt, most people are seeing it for the first time.

And using asphalt to build roads is even more eye opening!
