Chen Ying wanted to make Chidao the transportation artery of the Tang Dynasty, but he definitely never thought of building such an important road by himself. Chen Ying knew himself very well, and let him point his fingers and give some opinions, but he was really not mentally prepared to let him preside over the construction of such an important project.

Chen Ying didn't expect that Li Yuan would hit him with the idea, such an important project must be done with the strength of the country and all his might, otherwise it will be easy to become a tofu scum project.

After Liu Bangdi settled the world, at a banquet, he took his father's hand and pointed to the great country outside the window and said: "Ye Ye said back then that I was not as good as my second brother to buy a family business, I don't know how the child is buying this family business now?" ”

Mrs. Liu said again and again: "Incomparable, incomparable!" Just when Liu Bang said these words, his courtiers such as Xiao He and Zhang Liang congratulated Liu Bang together, and they didn't feel that there was anything wrong with the emperor saying that the world was his family's property. The legend of the family world in a broad sense began from here......

Li Yuan asked Chen to use 500,000 guan to build such a galloping road from Chang'an to Hangu Pass, there is no need to have it first, at least in Li Yuan's heart, this is the most normal thing.

Even if everyone obviously knew that Li Yuan was cheating Chen Ying, they would not stand up to Li Yuan.

Chen Ying looked at You Ziying's mournful face, and said puzzledly: "Brother You, don't be sad, 500,000 Guan Xiu is such a galloping road, in fact, it can still be done." ”

You Ziying said: "Brother Chen, don't lie to me, the people in Chang'an City have said, His Majesty the Emperor is trying to force you to death, or, Brother Chen, this official of the Tang Kingdom, let's not do it, I will be on duty tonight, and I will be alone in the second half of the night, you clean up, tonight, leave Chang'an from Tongyang Gate, enter Qinling, or flee to Hedong, with Brother Chen's ability, whether it is to Dou Jiande or Wang Shichong, it is indispensable to have a rich and noble ......"

Chen Ying thought to himself. It's really hard to see the truth in adversity, You Ziying has hardly had any contact with herself for most of the past half a year, but when it comes to the end, she is a person who is willing to risk killing her head to help herself.

Chen Ying thought of this and felt a little ridiculous.

Conscription for national projects is a must, and all the craftsmen used are free labor, and all the timber can be cut down without money, and the charcoal is not required for money, at most it can be dug up. If Chen Ying is really allowed to control the cost, although no matter how the cost is controlled, it is naturally not enough to repair this road with 500,000 yuan, but Chen Ying is sure that this road can be built without a penny from the state treasury.

No one is a fool, the transportation advantage of Chidao is not comparable with ordinary land transportation, even if the transportation cost is lower, but the water transportation in Guanzhong has a season, and the water transportation can only be temporarily stopped in the dry season and winter, and the Yellow River is in the Sanmenxia section, it is also very easy to have accidents, and the cost is not low.

However, the use of gallop to transport goods is not only low-cost, safe, but also fast. The kind of convertible that Chen Ying experimented with, which could carry more than 50 tons, was an alternative, and if the cargo capacity of the convertible was reduced by one-third to 40 tons, then it would not be difficult for eight horses to run at a speed of 30 kilometers per hour.

If there are enough horses to change along the way, it is really not difficult to run 800 miles in one day and one night, and at the same time, this kind of gallop can also break the curse formed for thousands of years: "100 miles do not sell wood, 1000 miles do not sell millet." "Destined to be history.

Thinking of this, Chen Ying patted You Ziying on the shoulder and said, "You go to rest first, and I'll go to the palace." ”

……

Hou Mo Chen Qianhui originally thought that Chen Ying would return to Qinglin as soon as he returned to Chang'an, but he didn't expect to wait for Chen Ying after waiting for two days, but waited for an inexplicable and wonderful news.

"Is the news true?" Hou Mo Chen Qianhui's eyes still didn't move away, and he felt a little puzzled about Chen Ying's manor outside the city.

Dig a ditch on the flat ground for irrigation. However, on the 3,000 acres of land that Chen Ying bought, there are small ponds, mass graves, forests, and saline-alkali land.

Yu Qing bowed down and said: "Now that the major families already know, it shouldn't be fake!" ”

"Oh!" Although Hou Mo Chen Qianhui was born in a family of Jiangmen, he is not a layman for farming, he knows that wheat grows on dry land, and rice grows on paddy fields, which has high requirements for irrigation and drainage conditions in the fields; In addition, planting two crops in one land every year also consumes a lot of soil fertility, and the fertilization work must keep up.

For example, there are countless weeds growing in the ground that Chen Ying bought, and after burning, piling them in the ground is a good fertilizer. It's just that what makes Hou Mo Chen Qian strange is that Chen Ying's outer courtyard steward Ryazan actually asked people to pile the cut weeds in a low-lying pond, although it was already late autumn, in just a few days, the weeds that had been soaked in water already emitted a pungent smell.

After observing for a long time, Hou Mo Chen Qian realized that the source of the smell was not actually due to being soaked in water, but the feces and urine of thousands of people on the construction site who had pulled and poured on the weeds.

Actually, Ryazan didn't know about manure either. However, Chen Ying knew that it would take two years to build Chenjiawu Fort, and in these two years, the people of more than 1,000 years would eat nearly 20,000 stone of grain. If this land can be utilized, even if only one or two stones can be built per acre, Chen Ying can also save a lot of costs.

Hou Mo Chen Qian was very surprised to find that there were many small traders gathered here, some selling needlework and thread, some selling clothes, some selling raw meat, and some built a straw hut to sell some loose wine and cooked meat. There are even a few half-covered doors, and straw mats are also used here, and a straw hut is enclosed, and the door is opened to sit on business.

In the near future, it will slowly turn into a grass market, and this grass market will allow Chen Jiabao to buy what he wants without leaving home.

Seeing that Hou Mo and Chen Qian would be indifferent to Chen Ying being pitted by Li Yuan, Yu Qing asked very suspiciously: "Ah Lang, Wulang has encountered a hurdle this time, if you don't help ......?"

"No need to help, Your Majesty's ambition is not here!"

"Isn't it here?" When Yu Qing heard this, he was even more puzzled: "What do you mean!" ”

"Your Majesty is emulating the old wisdom of the Marquis!"

Liuhou naturally refers to Zhang Liang, who is one of the three heroes of the early Han Dynasty, and Yu Qing suddenly realized when he heard this.

Xiang Yu has no scruples about ordinary generals, but he is very uneasy about Liu Gang, he knows that the most difficult opponent to deal with is Liu Bang. Earlier, it had been agreed that whoever captured Xianyang first, who would be the king in Guanzhong, as a result, the first to enter Xianyang was Liu Bang, Guanzhong, is Qin's homeland, due to Qin's vigorous management, Guanzhong is not only rich in products, but also has a strong foundation for military engineering, Xiang Yu is unwilling to let Liu Bang be the king of Guanzhong, and is not willing to let him go home to Zhangpei County, so he deliberately divided the three counties of Bashu and Hanzhong to Liu Bang, named the king of Han, and took Nanzheng in Hanzhong as the capital. wants to lock Liu Bang in the remote mountains like this.

Liu Bang adopted Zhang Liang's strategy, first burned all the plank roads from Guanzhong to Hanzhong, and then sent hundreds of soldiers to repair them, sent troops to repair the plank roads, pretending to attack from the plank roads, but in fact, he and Liu Bang led the main force and secretly attacked Chen Cang. Taking advantage of Zhang Han's unpreparedness, he won the victory, which is called "Ming Xiu plank road, secret crossing Chen Cang".

Yu Qing asked: "Could it be that Ming Xiu Chi Dao secretly crossed the Yellow River......

Hou Mo Chen Qian shook his head and said, "It's not Wang Shichong of the Central Plains!" ”

"That's ......"

Hou Mo Chen Qian said: "Hedong Liu Wuzhou is newly defeated, Hexi Li Rail is a Turkic minister, and at the same time marries Tuyuhun and Tubo, if it is allowed to become a momentum, there will be repeated repetitions in the land of Hexi, so at this time, it must be Ming Xiu Chidao, the sword is pointed at the new king, and Li Rail will die." ”
