Guo Peng walked around Hanzhong for several days and ran to three counties in Hanzhong. Each county went deep into the countryside to observe the situation of the military farmlands.

Only when the lowest level of this country changes can the country change.

If you only change the upper level and not the lower level, there will be no changes in this country.

Fortunately, the changes in Hanzhong are visible to the naked eye.

So Guo Peng is quite satisfied.

Of course, there are some unsatisfactory things.

"It's indeed good development. You have made achievements over the years. It's not easy for Hanzhong to develop from a vain war to this day... However, you should not migrate people to reclaim land at will. It's not easy to reclaim land. After finally working hard to reclaim land, you have to let others start from scratch, at least for three years."

Deng Zhi smiled helplessly.

"This is not something that officials strongly advocated. It is mainly because the residents of Hanzhong have been losing money since Zhang Lu and Liu Zhang during the reign of the period. After several chaos, six out of ten were left. People had to migrate from Guandong and Shuzhong to cultivate farmland, but the migrant people came from different places.

Their living habits are very different, their local accents are different, and even those who do not recognize words cannot communicate with each other. There are many conflicts. At first, the imperial court broke up them by military farming and lived together again. Under military control, disputes can be suppressed.

After the war ended, there was a great conflict between them. When I first took over as the county magistrate of Hanzhong, I had to deal with three to five group disputes every month. Later, I went directly to the countryside to investigate and found out the cause of the problem.

So I changed the earliest extensive division method, reorganized townships and villages, and took this opportunity to move some people to sparsely populated places to live and reclaim wasteland, and some people even took the initiative to move."

Guo Peng nodded slowly after hearing this.

"Look at the specific situation, you have done a good job."

Guo Peng reached out and patted Deng Zhi on the shoulder, making Deng Zhi very happy.

But the happiest thing is Guo Peng himself.

He is most looking forward to seeing that he can truly improve the daily lives of the lowest-level people and benefit them.

Although I don’t know how long this situation can last, it’s good even if it can be more than one day.

You can't just not do it just because you can't change it substantially. Even if you just move forward one inch, it's better to move forward one inch at a time. You're always moving forward and not going backward.

Without taking a short walk, you can't reach a thousand miles. Isn't it just like this that the road moves forward inch by inch?

So even if it is just a person who can improve his life, it is just a trivial improvement, Guo Peng is willing to do it.

Just treat it as a kind of compensation, a trivial compensation.

Out of the compensation for guilt that deep down in Guo Peng's heart, he could not really change their situation.

With such complex emotions, Guo Peng left Hanzhong County, left Yangping Pass, followed the original Jinniu Road and the newly built Dashu Road, heading south all the way to Chengdu.

Guo Peng stopped the conquest at Yangping Pass and did not continue to move south. At that time, the expansion ability of the Guo Wei regime had reached its limit and was not enough to support him in continuing the conquest.

So this time he came to Yizhou was his real first time to come to Yizhou.

After leaving Yangping Pass, it is the real [unexplored area].

Following the road that the Wei army took when they conquered Liu Zhang, Guo Peng went south, exploring the scenery in Shu, and feeling the difficulty of walking on the Shu road.

The Jinniu Road that the Wei army walked south when they went south was also passed by when the Qin army conquered Shu and Ba countries, and it was even more difficult to get from scratch.

The Xichuan area is full of mountains and rivers, so it is very difficult to dig a road. It is no less difficult to walk from the Hanzhong Basin to Shuzhong than to reach the Hanzhong Basin from the Guanzhong Plain.

Now being able to walk on a relatively spacious and flat road is also due to the years of investment and the death of a large number of road construction coolies in the Wei Empire.

It can be said that every inch of the road is buried with the flesh and blood of road builders, how difficult it is.

Despite this, the road has been repaired. The road is winding and winding along the steep mountains and rivers and lakes, but it still points forward.

There were many people coming and going on the Shu Road, basically local businessmen who were doing business. They sent Shuzhong specialties north to Guanzhong for money and other goods and then brought them back to Shuzhong for sale, connecting Guanzhong and Shuzhong to prosper in order to prosper the economy.

As a result, Shu brocade was able to go north on a large scale faster and faster basis, not only sold to the whole country, but also to Rome, Anxi and Kushan. It was not only the fist products of Shuzhong, but also the fist products of the Wei Empire.

Yizhou made great contributions to the Wei Empire's foreign trade and foreign exchange creation. Guo Peng also cared about Yizhou more and put the officials he thought were very capable in Yizhou for several years, bringing Yizhou back to peace from the war.

Walking on Yizhou Avenue, Guo Peng always involuntarily had some associations.

He thought about what determination and execution ability of the Shu Han regime in power in another time and space, with Zhuge Liang's power, mobilized war in Shu, who was almost trapped to death, and took such a difficult path, and took the initiative to attack the northern powerful Wei five times with such a low material delivery rate.

He felt that Zhuge Liang and Liu Chan, the great ruler and minister, had actually had the wrong age. They should not have appeared in the Shu Han who was trapped in the Sichuan Basin, but in the Southern Song Dynasty.

The Shu Han was too weak and the national strength was too weak, which was not enough for Zhuge Liang and Liu Chan to play the role of the king and ministers.

It was not difficult for the Southern Song Dynasty to defeat Wanyan Gou and Liu Chan to regain the former land of the Northern Song Dynasty with Liu Chan's big heart and Zhuge Liang's mobilization and execution.

Or it is almost certain to win - with Zhuge Liang's execution ability, of course, Liu Chan's big heart is also indispensable.

It is said that the upper limit of the emperor determines the upper limit of the country. Since ancient times, those who are willing to let the ministers who have made great contributions have all the power of the country and rarely make trouble. Liu Chan is simply a model.

He is indeed not capable, just a middle-aged man, but he is not very slander. Apart from the one he instigated Li Yan, he did not drag Zhuge Liang down much.

The truth is that the comprehensive national strength and war potential of the Southern Song Dynasty were handed over to the monarch and ministers, and the Han and the thieves were not in harmony with each other's kings and thieves.

Although Kong Ming got his master, he was not at the right time.

Guo Peng didn't know whether Sima Shuijing said this, but if it were him, he would have looked at it this way.

Shu Han was too small and did not have enough national strength to create a stage for Zhuge Liang to display his talents. He could only use the pitiful national strength of Shu Han carefully, although he did hold all the power and was the supreme ruler.

Time? Destiny?

Who can tell it clearly?

But fortunately, under Mr. Guo, Zhuge Liang already had a stage that was enough for him to display his talents.

And he is about to go to the Central Committee to become a senior official of the Central Committee.

In fact, Guo Peng is still looking forward to how much Zhuge Liang can shine in the center.

Although Zhuge Liang was like him, he could not escape the limitations of history, but in a sense, Zhuge Liang was also a fierce man who fought against the will of heaven, just like him.

Kongming, history owes you what he owes you, I will help you return it to you and show your abilities to the fullest.

While in Shu, Guo Peng sincerely hopes that the Wuhou Temple will never appear in this world and will never shed heroic tears again.

During the second year of Xingyuan, Guo Peng and Cao Lan and other women spent the New Year in Yunzhou.

Guo Peng stayed in Chengdu for half a month, saw Jinguan City, and saw how the beautiful Shu brocade was woven bit by bit and then sold to the north.

Women liked such beautiful Shu Jin, so Guo Peng paid for them to enjoy themselves.

Although Chengdu is located in Xichuan, the transportation is relatively inconvenient, but the population is not large enough to give the giant city of Zhongyuan. Walking on the streets and alleys of Chengdu, you can even feel the smell of walking on the Luoyang market.

However, Guo Peng's plan was to rush to Yunzhou before the New Year to meet Tian Feng, the governor of Yunzhou, and then meet with the army that was carrying out daily tasks in Yunzhou. He celebrated the New Year with the soldiers in the military camp. So he stayed in Chengdu for only half a month before getting up and running to Yunzhou.

I don’t have more experience of the ancient charm of Chengdu.

The northern and middle sections of the Shu Road artery have been completed long ago, and the Yunzhou section in the south is the most difficult to repair and the latest one. The number of coolies lost is second only to the number of dead in the deep mountains of the Qinling Mountains.

When the army went south to fight against Yong Kai and others, they had already burned a road with tinder oil, which guided the direction for the engineering team that built the road later, but the difficulty of walking with their feet and building roads with their hands is different.

If we really could find a way out, there would be no more trouble than the road construction team.

Now, the southern section of the major artery has basically been completed, leaving the last section of the road connecting from Yunzhou to Jiaozhi County, Jiaozhi County, Jiaozhou.

The Wei government intends to officially connect the avenues between Jiaozhou and Yunzhou to achieve true commonality between the two states.

In this way, the Shu Road artery will be officially completed.

This unprecedented arterial channel that runs through the entire Sichuan region and the Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau will be officially opened, which is of immeasurable significance to the political, economic and military of the Wei Empire.

Of course, cultural aspects are the same.

Almost the estimate given to the court by the responsible agency of Shu Road was that it would be officially completed in the middle of the third year of Xingyuan. If it were earlier, it might be completed in March and April, ending the history of the Wei Empire's repair of Shu Road.

If we really want to say that the Wei Empire repaired the Shu Road, it would have to start from when Guo Peng attacked Hanzhong and occupied Hanzhong. That was the sixth year of Xingping, the former Han Dynasty.

At that time, the Wei Empire began to build roads in the Qinling Mountains, clearing the road from Guanzhong to Hanzhong, repairing the northern section of the Shu Road artery, and facilitating the war to destroy Shu later.
