Shen Yu shook his head and broke free from the man's grip, "Your Majesty, do you know what I'm talking about?"
"Every time... A Yu is unwilling," Shang Junlin lifted his eyelids and looked at him, "You don't want to care about me after you're satisfied."
"I'm not," Shen Yu's face turned red, "It's because Your Majesty doesn't want to end it."
"If the imperial physician didn't say that A Yu needs more rest, A Yu would have fulfilled his duty." Shang Junlin's eyes lit up and he reached out to touch Shen Yu's neck, "A Yu, don't you think so?"
"Your Majesty, you have to follow the physician's advice," Shen Yu had the imperial physician's words as a shield, so he was quite unscrupulous, "You also have to restrain yourself."
"I'm already restraining myself," Shang Junlin's eyes were deep, "Otherwise, do you think that I would let you go so easily?"
Because of Shen Yu's body, they didn't do it many times and didn't really get to the point. Occasionally, they would use their hands or legs.
Shen Yu didn't want to continue talking about this dangerous topic, so he talked about another matter, "Your Majesty, I made a new thing in the farmstead. I want to give it to Your Majesty."
"What is it?" Seeing that Shen Yu was changing the topic, Shang Junlin didn't expose him, but his hands didn't stop moving.
Shen Yu's neck was very sensitive, especially around a small mole. Shang Junlin loved this place very much and liked to bite it when they were intimate.
"Your Majesty, let go of me first." Shen Yu felt a numbing sensation spreading from the side of her neck.
Shang Junlin stopped moving his hands, but he didn't want to move away. The man's body temperature soaked into her body through her skin. Shen Yu couldn't do anything but sit up slightly.
"If Your Majesty doesn't want to let me go, I'll go get it myself. It's in the compartment on the left." Shen Yu pointed to the compartment beside Shang Junlin.
Following Shen Yu's guidance, Shang Junlin opened the lattice and took out a small wooden box without any decorative patterns.
"This?"
"Yes, Your Majesty, open it and take a look."
Shang Junlin opened the wooden box with one hand and saw what was inside. He had no choice but to let go of Shen Yu and unfolded the letter.
In the beginning, Shang Junlin's attitude was a little careless. He always felt more relaxed when he was with Shen Yu. As time passed, Shang Junlin's expression gradually became serious.
After reading it, Shang Junlin closed the letter and reached out to pull Shen Yu into his arms. His lips were close to Shen Yu's ear. "Did A Yu also learn this from the journal?"
There was an item called "cement" written on the paper. In addition to how to make it, there was also a detailed description of its use. Shang Junlin was a qualified ruler. He immediately thought of the importance of "cement" when he saw it.
For the country and the people, this thing could play a great role.
"Your Majesty, it's fine if you think so." Shen Yu didn't want to hide the truth or tell the truth. He could only answer ambiguously. "It's also called concrete."
Shang Junlin gently bit Shen Yu's earlobe. "A Yu really surprises me all the time."
He saw that Shen Yu didn't want to say anything, so he didn't force him. Shen Yu was willing to give him this thing, which was enough to show how important he was to him. Otherwise, Shen Yu could have not taken it out in order not to arouse his suspicion.
Last time, when Shen Yu gave him the flood-control manual, after the official in charge of this area finished reading it, he told him that it was a very complete system. It couldn't be pieced together from various books. He directly asked him to find an expert, but Shang Junlin casually brushed him off.
"The people in my village have developed some products. Your Majesty, do you want to take a look?" Seeing that Shang Junlin didn't intend to ask further, Shen Yu was relieved. "I'm afraid it's not easy to move it into the palace."
"Just go directly to your village and take a look." Shang Junlin hugged Shen Yu tightly. "I'm very happy that A Yu gave me something."
No matter what Shen Yu gave him, Shang Junlin's joy was the same. What he valued was Shen Yu's heart for giving him something, not the gift itself.
After the two tidied up, they left the palace.
The people in the village received the news that Shen Yu and Shang Junlin were coming and made preparations in advance, especially regarding the cement. The person in charge carefully watched every place and didn't allow any mistakes to be made.
While everyone in the village was looking forward to it, the carriage carrying Shen Yu and Shang Junlin arrived late.
The person in charge stood at the front, followed by the people who worked in the village. These people were Shen Yu's own people. They already knew about the relationship between Shen Yu and Shang Junlin from Mu Xi. Shen Yu told Mu Xi to let these people treat Shang Junlin as half of their own people.
As usual, Shang Junlin got off the carriage first. After he got off, he reached out to help Shen Yu down. Shen Yu could get off the carriage by himself, but Shang Junlin didn't let him. At first, he wanted to carry Shen Yu down, but Shen Yu firmly refused. So, he took a step back and helped Shen Yu down.
Shen Yu also didn't understand what Shang Junlin was thinking. How could the dignified emperor fall in love with helping people get off the carriage? However, Shang Junlin insisted, so Shen Yu could only let him do as he pleased.
Today, the two of them were wearing clothes of similar colors. Standing together, it was very pleasing to the eye.
The person in charge came up to them and said, "Your Majesty, Your Highness, everything is ready. Tea and snacks are also prepared …"
"Take us directly to see the fruit." Shen Yu interrupted the person in charge's long-winded speech.
The person in charge brought the two of them over and roughly explained the process. Soon, they arrived at the destination.
The open space was divided into two parts. The left side was a flat cement floor, and the right side was the place where the cement was mixed. There were piles of various raw materials, and more than ten men in short clothes were busy.
"This is the road that Your Highness said was paved."
Shen Yu walked closer with Shang Junlin. He had seen the finished product in his previous life, so he wasn't surprised. Instead, it was Shang Junlin who saw such a flat road for the first time. He couldn't hide the shock in his eyes.
Shen Yu saw that there were gaps in the road at intervals. He nodded with satisfaction and said, "Well done."
The person in charge brought the two of them to the other side and said, "This place is solidified. You can walk on it. Even if it rains, it won't affect the road."
The person in charge had received Shen Yu's letter in advance, so he knew what to show. First, he let Shen Yu and Shang Junlin walk on it to feel it. Then, he ordered people to bring a bucket of water and pour it on the ground.
Shang Junlin held Shen Yu's hand and walked slowly on the cement road. He could clearly feel that this road was different from the previous one.
"If a carriage were to drive on it, it would be much less bumpy."
After walking one round, Shang Junlin held Shen Yu's hand tightly. The feeling of seeing it with his own eyes was completely different. The shock of the former was less than one-tenth of the latter.
Although it was only a short section of the road, Shang Junlin could already imagine what it would be like when the official roads of the capital were paved with such roads. Not only the capital, but the entire Da Huan also needed to be paved with such roads.
With a smooth road, communication would be faster. This would be of great help to Shang Junlin in managing the entire Da Huan.
Shen Yu could feel Shang Junlin's excitement. He smiled and said, "Your Majesty, I don't have many people in my village. This is already the limit. I have already given the formula for the cement to Your Majesty. Your Majesty, you can order people to build a road to see the effect."
"To be treated like this by A Yu, I am really …" Shang Junlin pressed his forehead against Shen Yu's and said in a low voice, "How should I thank A Yu?"
"Your Majesty, you don't have to thank me. I didn't think of this in the first place. To be useful to Your Majesty, it is Your Majesty's fate. Your Majesty, you don't have to think too much." Shen Yu didn't take out these things to take credit for himself. These things were useful to Da Huan and Shang Junlin.
Under the guidance of the steward, the two went to see the process of making the cement.
It wasn't difficult to make the cement. The raw materials weren't expensive either. It wouldn't be difficult to popularize it. After looking around, Shang Junlin made a decision.
The two didn't stay in the village for long. After returning to the palace, Shang Junlin immediately summoned the Minister of Works and told him the method of making the cement.
After reading it, the Minister of Works couldn't hide his excitement, "This, this thing is really useful. What is it called?"
"Cement, also known as concrete."
"It's mixed with solidified sand and stone. Other than paving roads, it should have many other uses." The Minister of Works' eyes lit up. Ever since Shang Junlin ascended the throne, their Ministry of Works hadn't had any great achievements. Now that they finally had a great opportunity, they had to seize it.
"I'll leave it to you. It's up to you to develop what you want. The road from the palace to the secret prison is broken. You can use it to practice."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
The Minister of Works took the formula back and immediately arranged for people to start working. The current Emperor valued people who could do practical things. It wasn't easy for the Ministry of Works to show off their skills. They couldn't let it go.
The road that Shang Junlin circled out wasn't used by many people. For the sake of convenience, the Minister of Works ordered people to surround the road and tell the public that it was being repaired.
That road was broken to begin with. It was normal that it needed to be repaired. The people who received the news didn't think much about it. It was just that people who occasionally wanted to use that road had to take a detour.
Yan Zheng also heard the news. He turned and said to the servant, "It's because of our road that it's broken. We can't let the Ministry of Works repair it for us for free. Go and ask around. If they lack anything, send it to them."
The servant, who knew his master's personality, acknowledged and went to do the task.
He put the fan under his chin and curled his lips in a good mood. If he was lucky, he might be able to get the Ministry of Works to help him. If those people knew that they gave him such a good opportunity for free, he wondered if they would die from anger.
The Ministry of Works was in full swing. The people of the Ministry of Works had a great change in attitude in the imperial court and attracted the attention of many officials. Those who were close to the Minister of Works went up to ask for the reason. They all received the same answer: "They're repairing the road."
"It's just repairing the road. Do you need to be so excited?" This person didn't understand.
"You don't understand." The Minister of Works' eyes were full of passion. "You'll know when we're done. Our Ministry of Works is finally going to rise!"
This time, the person who asked the question really didn't understand. He shook his head and left.
After giving the item away, Shen Yu didn't spend much time on it. In the previous life, the King of Yue relied on this to make huge profits and saved up some capital. This time, Shen Yu gave the item to Shang Junlin in advance. With the imperial court stepping in, they directly blocked the King of Yue's source of income and also cut off Shen Qingran's path to fame.
Thinking of this, Shen Yu was in a good mood.
"What's A Yu thinking about? Why are you so happy?" Shang Junlin pinched Shen Yu's chin and turned Shen Yu's head to face him.
"I'm thinking that Dahuan will become better and better under Your Majesty's governance. If that's the case, I'll be able to follow Your Majesty and enjoy happiness." Shen Yu's smile didn't disappear. His dark eyes seemed to contain thousands of stars.
Shang Junlin was mesmerized by those smiling eyes and couldn't help but move closer. "I won't disappoint A Yu."
