The autumn wind blew. The tenth month of the lunar calendar was the ninth month of the lunar calendar. The day was still extremely hot, but sooner or later, it no longer felt as hot as before!

Along the Both banks of the Qing River, two paths that were parallel to the river broadened. Countless ragged factory servants were digging and pushing the roads, smashing the rocks and tamping the foundations, building the most basic infrastructure for the future of Capital's Iron Works, the road!

The demand for Infrastructure in the industrial production base was very high. Although it was not at the level of laying cement road surface, sooner or later, all of the steel works in Capital would have to be paved with cement!

In the future, the Capital Iron Factory would be the incubating ground for the Industrial Revolution, and this place would become the industrial core of the Empire. Many large scale components would be built here, and thousands upon thousands of tons of ores and Coal would be transported over.

To swallow such a large amount of goods, he needed a firmer path!

According to the design provided by the Chinese, this road had to be ten meters wide and have six layers of foundation!

Relying completely on manpower, he had to dig more than two meters deep into the foundation layer. Then, he would build a solid, big stone, then lay small stone, then build a solid, sand layer, earth layer, coal layer … Layer after layer, a total of six levels were filled in!

Not only that, but they also needed to use bricks to build a good drainage system. There definitely wasn't any concrete drainpipe, but there was no problem in using bricks to build a secret tunnel!

Only when all these were done would they be able to lay the cement hardened in the future. Only with such a sturdy and accessible road would they be able to lead the factories into the Both banks of the Qing River!

There were more than a hundred of them divided into dozens of different working groups in the Both banks of the Qing River, exploration data, drawing blueprints, pointers to the worker, acceptance check and accept quality!

In the future, he would have to start clearing the riverbed of silt, deepen the river channels, build a dam to prevent the rainy season, and then build wharf s of all sizes to carry the goods!

Before the railways were built into the network, water transportation was still the most important means of transportation. In the future, the Great Qing Kingdom would even build a large number of railway network, so it would still be the most economical and practical way to transport them!

According to the calculations of the people of the work department and the Technology, just the construction of the road and the cleaning of the river channels would have to be done until March next year!

How could Zai Chun not be anxious? He had let those Baby not see that, and insisted on going to the desolate construction site to conduct the foundation laying ceremony.

The Capital was the start of Zai Chun's dream. In order to push his plan forward, he had truly lost his mind and became a loner!

If forty thousand factory slaves were not enough, he would allow the work department to recruit even more of them. Even if it was a hundred thousand capacity factory slaves, it would still take two years for the Capital Iron Works to go into production!

The war horse rolled across the ground like dragons, and Emperor Tongzhi, who was being escorted by the Yuelin New Army, led a group of mandarin seed s towards the first furnace's foundation!

The scene of tens of thousands of people busily working along the way made little Kaiser extremely excited. In his eyes, this kind of dusty construction site was the battlefield where he broke away from the old traditions!

But in the eyes of Weng Tonghe and the others, this scene was extremely painful to them!

The farmland was destroyed, the trees were cut down, and the original emerald green was replaced by patches of yellow. It was as ugly as a bald man with a scar on his head!

As the water level in the river continued to drop, he could already see the sludge that was emitting a deep stench. Countless fish were struggling in the puddles, looking exactly like the factory slaves who were desperately fighting on the construction site!

Yi Xuan, who was accompanying them, could not help but open his eyes. He looked at the factory slaves that were kneeling and shivering on the ground, they were all Baji.

Yet today, they were living in an incomparably humble manner. As their feet stepped on the mud, their backs were covered in blood from the hemp rope. Each and every one of them was as thin as a skeleton!

What was even more distressing was that these people no longer had their usual vigor. They had already been scared out of their wits by the oppressive force of the recent period of time. They were all lying prostrate on the ground, shivering!

In the minds of the literati of the Ancient China, all these super large project s were the product of great achievements of the Kaiser. The elites of the Ancient China were all disgusted with the large project that was being pushed by the Government!

Emperor Qin Shi Huang cultivated the Great Wall, Emperor Sui Yang fished the canals, and even Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty had been travelling on the Mo Bei for decades … In the eyes of the ancient literati, these were representatives of great achievements. They could even link this kind of behavior with that of a fallen nation!

Why would there be such a thought? Or was it because the ancient productivity was too low? It was basically human and animal. Nothing else could be used!

Moreover, animal power could only be used in limited ways, because a lot of meticulous work could only be done by humans!

Once people gathered on a large scale, all sorts of problems would arise. Hunger, injury, pressure, death … It would happen. In such an organization, it was inevitable that there would be means of violence!

For the sake of duration and quality, and even for the sake of embezzlement, conflicts between officials and citizens were unavoidable!

Tens of thousands of people were gathered in a narrow area to undergo hard labour. This was the most dangerous sign of rebellion in the eyes of the ancient Official.

Right now, the little Kaiser had forcibly recruited 40,000 factory slaves, it was not enough for him to continue recruiting additional guards and servants. If there really were 10 universal population workers working here, there would be a bomb hanging above Capital's head, and no one would be able to sleep soundly!

But no one dared to dissuade Zai Chun. The little Kaiser had already revealed his determination to the court through a series of cruel means.

Divine block the Deicide, Buddha block the Buddha kill the Buddha! Tongzhi had already completely fallen under the spell of hell for his industrial revolution!

"Your Majesty... The flagpole up ahead was the location of the No.1 blast furnace! "This official will wait until last night to place the completed monolith …"

"Furthermore, I even specially invited the Daoist Priest and Lama to do it. After Your Majesty goes, we can just fill the soil!"

The work department s of the work department offered their hospitality to the little Kaiser, and Zai Chun smiled in satisfaction as he activated his war horse and continued to speed up!

However, they never expected that right after the team of horse riders crossed a wooden bridge, a sudden change occurred. From the two sides of the road, three figures who were kneeling and kowtowing suddenly appeared!

"Dumb Monarch! To pay back the lives of my family... " With that said, the three black figures flew straight towards Tongzhi who was on horseback!

Ah!" Not good... There's an assassin, protect the emperor …

"Be careful of the bombs …" "Pile Arhat, protect for ten thousand years!"

The human war had already completely entered into the hot weapon epoch, so assassinations naturally levelled up as well.

Ever since Nuo Beier invented the new type of explosive medicine, the chemical explosive drugs started to replace the old Black Flame # medicine. The explosion was getting stronger and stronger, and if there was a need to stab, these things were better than hidden weapons and handgun s.

Xiao Letian, Zai Chun and the others had all experienced assassination and their guards had also acted in various ways. Just by looking at these three black figures today, they subconsciously thought that they were exploding bullets!
