Chapter 154: Building Roads
Cao Cao wanted to organize the Han clan to inherit the unification, and sent people to envoy and merge the state, which made Yuan Shao feel a little uncomfortable, Jizhou and the state did not deal with each other, and now it is known to the whole world, the contradiction between the two parties is irreconcilable, and the envoy and the state is to despise Jizhou.
As the former leader of the princes' alliance, Yuan Shao decided to show his attitude, such a good thing, he can't give the benefits to Cao Cao, he wants Cao Cao to understand that he Yuan Shao is the leader of the princes' alliance.
Knowing that Cao Cao had the idea of supporting Liu Yu as the emperor, Yuan Shao was relieved a lot, he had a deep friendship with Liu Yu, which Cao Cao could compare, since Cao Cao supported Liu Yu, he didn't mind pushing the boat down the river, if Liu Yu inherited the throne as the emperor, he could get more benefits.
As for the attitude of the state, it is not important to Yuan Shao, unlike him who was born in a family, Lu Bu is just a martial artist, although he pacified the Xiongnu, and even broke Xianbei on the grassland, without a deep background, it will not work in the Han Dynasty.
And the influence of the Yuan family in the Han Dynasty is not comparable to Cao Cao.
The position of the Ninth Five-Year Honor, how many people dream of it, knowing that Liu Yu supported by Yuan Shao, Liu Biao was indeed very discouraged, but this does not mean that he does not have this mind.
The officials of Jingzhou are also more active at this time, if Liu Biao inherits Datong and ascends the throne as the emperor, he must be a person who has attained the Tao and ascended to heaven, and the officials of Jingzhou have become ministers of the dragon, and suddenly from the officials of the state and county to the pillars, it is definitely an unexpected awakening.
Sitting in the governor's mansion, Lu Bu frowned, through the war, he found a very important problem, that is, the transportation of logistics, the road is difficult, which increases the difficulty of transporting grain and grass, if it is raining, it is even more difficult, it is difficult to ensure that the grain and grass in the army can be delivered on time, how to solve this problem.
As long as the baggage can be transported on time, it can provide a greater chance for victory, as the so-called three armies have not moved, the grain and grass go first, if the speed of the grain and grass can not keep up, the army wants to win, how easy it is to say.
It is impossible to pave all the roads with stones, and the state does not have the financial resources for this.
Suddenly, Lu Bu thought of cement, this cement is a good thing, the material is easy to find, and it can make the road smooth, if the entire state is used cement road, the speed of transportation is absolutely second to none in the whole world, a carriage can transport twice as much grain and grass as usual, and the speed of transportation must also be greatly increased.
Just do it, Lu Bu searched his stomach and thought about how the cement was made.
For two days in a row, the officials of the state governor's office felt that Lu Bu had become melancholy, and he often muttered something alone, and the number of times he went in and out of the craftsman's workshop also increased.
Under the guidance of Lu Bu, the workers of the craftsman's workshop quickly developed cement that was not very difficult, but it was only a little inferior in quality, but the carriage used to transport materials in ancient times was not too heavy, so it was not a problem at all, and the next thing was the problem of construction.
The rapid development of Jinyang, although the road is wide, still seems a little crowded, Jinyang is close to the grassland, the state pastoral government won a complete victory, there are tens of thousands of war horses, many businessmen poured to Jinyang after hearing the news, the war horse is absolutely in demand in the eyes of the princes of the Central Plains, a good war horse is sometimes difficult to buy for money, and the cavalry of the state is in an absolute leading position in the Han Dynasty, and the importance of the cavalry is also valued by the princes of all walks of life, who does not want to conflict in the future, All of them are infantry and there are cavalry in the opposing camp.
As a big killer on the battlefield, the consumption of cavalry is undoubtedly huge, war horses are expensive, and having one cavalry means occupying the resources of at least five soldiers.
The stimulation of the cavalry of the state to the princes of all walks of life is obvious, which also led to the price of war horses soaring, Mi Zhu made a lot of money in the middle, and the strength of the state was strong, the state pastoral government had all kinds of preferential treatment for merchants, Mi Zhu's mind was also alive, and he transported books from Chang'an, so that he and Lu Bu established a friendship, and after seeing the strength of the state, he decided to continue this friendship.
The first road, Lu Bu's decision was to build the road from Jinyang to Huguan first, Huguan is a very important checkpoint in Bingzhou, and if the Bingzhou army wants to get out of Jinyang and enter the Central Plains, Huguan is a place that must be passed.
In order to determine the quality of the cement, Lu Bu first built a road in the craftsman's workshop, and after the cement solidified, a carriage full of grain and grass drove smoothly.
Cement is definitely a rarity, and the role of cement is also huge, repairing city walls, building houses, efficiency and quality can be greatly improved.
More than 5,000 Xianbei captives came in handy, aren't you warriors, just give me a good road, if you play any tricks, the soldiers who supervise have a way to rectify you, the scale of more than 5,000 people is still relatively large, these people are just responsible for building roads, and the cement workshop is placed in the mountains outside the city, day and night.
A wide road, with the concerted efforts of more than 5,000 people, is being built rapidly, and the craftsmen in the city who have experience in building houses are carefully smoothing the ground using tools made by craftsmen's workshops.
Xianbei people are responsible for the most tiring work, Xianbei warriors, in the state embodies a role, that is, to build roads, often tired all day, get only a full stomach of food, on the other hand, the craftsmen of the state, not only eat well, but also have money to take, this is a very unbalanced thing, but under the supervision of the soldiers in bright armor, they dare not play tricks, especially when the troublesome Xianbei people are ruthlessly killed, they seem to accept their fate, maybe it is good to be able to fill their stomachs, the tribesmen, Maybe they are still living a life without food.
Such a smooth road aroused the curiosity of the people in the city and the merchants who passed by, and after seeing that the carriage could travel on it, many merchants were dazzled and began to think carefully, it was obvious that such a road was of great use, and they even thought about how to learn how to build the road from the governor's office.
It was hard for them to understand how the pile of unsightly things could make the appearance smooth and solid.
The officials of the state pastoral government were no stranger to Lu Bu for having such a wonderful idea, even paper could be made, not to mention others, anyway, in the eyes of Jia Xu and others, Lu Bu was different.
Lu Bu naturally didn't know the merchants' thoughts, and if these merchants were willing to build cement roads in the territory of Bingzhou, he would naturally support them.
The second watch is here, brothers who have recommended votes in their hands, move, today is PK is very important for this book, and I hope you will support it a lot!
