Chapter 473: Dismissing the Troops and Truce, Two Years Later(1/2)

In Shaoyang County, Yunguo, next to an official road, dust is flying at this time.

Tens of thousands of local civil servants gathered under the recruitment of the government and broadened the official road under the guidance of officials from the Ministry of Works and disciples of the Mohist family.

The official road, which was originally less than two meters long, was directly widened into a wide road about three or four meters wide with the efforts of this construction team.

The ones used to build this road are fried yellow sand and dust. They are laid on the ground and are firmly compacted with heavy objects to prevent collapse.

After the road below is built, there are still craftsmen, using hardwood as the track, paving the middle of the road.

A green pine is planted on both sides of the widened road, and every three feet apart. This is not only used to prevent the collapse of both sides of the road, but also to prevent the trees from growing in the future to block the sunlight.

Looking behind this construction team, it was vast and tidy, stretching to the end of the sight, like a special official road where a giant dragon crawled on the ground!

Such a special road is naturally not an ordinary official road, but a "straight road" ordered by Emperor Dayun today!

[Golden Emperor Card, Qin Shihuang wins politics]

The upper limit of the emperor's power is 20.4. A special building "Afang Palace" can be built. The upper limit of the emperor's power is 20]

【.



This is the special building brought by Xiao Cheng’s skill above the imperial card [Qin Shihuang] that he is equipped with today, "Qin Zhidao"!

An official from the Ministry of Works, looking at the straight path that was going smoothly, looked at the drawings in his hand, and couldn't help but feel good. He couldn't help but speak to his colleagues around him:

"This place is the junction of Shaoyang County and Jiangzhou County. The road that is only 300 miles away from Jiangdu is only 300 miles away. According to this process, it will finally be completed before the summer of this year!"

The Jiangdu he mentioned is Jiangling City, the current Yun Kingdom accompanying the capital!

Because they were designated as the capital, there were differences in political sense, and the government and the people were called "Jiangdu".

The officials of the Ministry of Works on the side nodded happily when they heard the words of their colleagues:

"After calculating, I will not miss the day the court moved to Jiangdu. This errand is really tiring! Fortunately, I did not delay the errand after all."

It takes more than two thousand miles from Zhongqing City to Jiangling City!

Building such a straight road, even if there are help from Mohist disciples who are proficient in construction and construction, it is a massive project. Update without error @

After the Yun Emperor ordered the Ministry of Works to implement the implementation, the officials of the Ministry of Works worked day and night, and the total number of civil servants and servants in various places along the way was nearly one million, spending seven or eight million taels of silver.

It took more than a year to complete the construction. Just look at the price, it shows how amazing the scale of this straight road is!

Perhaps it was aroused by Tan Xing, or perhaps it was to get bored, an official from the Ministry of Works interjected:

"Actually, I don't understand why His Majesty wants to build such a straight road now. Even if he is moved to the capital for the sake of the court, then the original official road can be used, why does it take such a lot of trouble?"

Hearing this person say this, a Mo family disciple who presided over the construction of the straight road came over and answered:

"You all know how to create, maybe you haven't seen the straight path being activated!"

The workers' officials here are only responsible for the construction, and the next one is to be inspected and accepted, and they have never seen the straight road be activated with their own eyes.

Hearing what the Mo family disciple said, he couldn't help but ask curiously:

"Is there anything special about this straight road besides a wider and a track for His Majesty's frame to drive through?"

These officials of the Ministry of Works are often exposed to construction affairs and naturally know the role of the track paved in the center of the road, which is for the fast passage of carriages equipped with special wheels of the accompanying track.

The road is not muddy and defective, and it is also a straight road with few bends. Without such bumps, the travel speed will naturally be much faster.

Chapter 14: Stop the army and quit, two years later

But this official of the Ministry of Works has never seen the actual use with his own eyes, so he just has a rough impression that he does not have a clear understanding of the effect of the straight path.

But this Mo family disciple said:

"It took more than 20 days to get from the capital to Jiangdu, but after this straight road is completed, it will be shortened to fifteen days."

"It's just a few days to shorten the journey. It's not a short time for the imperial court to move to the capital!" The official of the Ministry of Works continued.

Perhaps some officials from the Ministry of Works couldn't stand their colleagues so stupid and didn't understand, so they couldn't help but pull him and whisper:

"Your Majesty and the adults of the court are not short of this time. But if a war is in progress, the front-line army of the court will need it!"

As soon as this was said, the official of the Ministry of Works, who was deeply involved, suddenly realized.

It is naturally not necessary for the imperial court to move to the capital.

But when the war starts, the heavy team can arrive a few days in advance, so the logistics pressure on the front line will be reduced too much. The army dispatches and the troops support these things, relying on this road, it will naturally be much faster and faster!

"So, this straight road is nominally for the convenience of moving the capital, but in fact, it is for the mobilization of the army and the logistics supply are smooth?" Someone lowered his voice.

"Then, after the construction of the straight road is completed, does it mean that the front line is about to fight?"

"That's right. Since His Majesty issued an order and the imperial divisions were preparing to move to Jiangdu, there have been rumors that they would launch an army to fight in the northern expedition."

"Also, it is said that the reason why His Majesty chose a escort was because the capital was too far from the front line, which was inconvenient."

Previously, the two countries had a war between Yun and Xia, and the Yun Kingdom had all obtained seven counties in the southwest. The Xia Kingdom's vitality was severely damaged, and this result ended.

Within nearly two years, wars in the world were halted, and there was no sound of golden swords on the borders of the two countries. In a daze, it seemed like I had returned to the peaceful years of that year.

But the people in the world, whether they are the nobles of various countries or the people, know very well that the Yun State has the ambition to continue to rush troops north and unify the world, and the Xia State has the intention to conquer the territory south and wash away the national humiliation.

The reason why there has been no war in the past two years is that Yun Kingdom wants to recuperate and digest the results of the war. Xia Kingdom wants to lick the wounds, accumulate vitality and strength, and wash away the previous shame.

The military affairs of the two countries were temporarily settled.

But the scene of peace and well-being between the two countries is actually just superficial!

Yun and Xia, in the past two years, they have accumulated food, grass, and weapons, forged armor and weapons, and strengthened military training. @美\/Shuge* First update~~Outside, they have increased troops on the border, sent each other to spies to spy on military information.

Two years have passed, and the Yun Kingdom has now won the hearts of the local people because of its generous support in the seven counties in the southwest. It has absorbed all the people's and materials in the seven counties into the national strength of the Yun Kingdom. Now even this straight road leading to Jiangzhou County on the front line has been completed!

As for the Xia Kingdom, the new policy is implemented in China, and the imperial taxes have increased. Coupled with the strong national strength and deep foundation of Xia Kingdom, we finally took a breath. Although the bandits in the southeast have not yet completely subsided, the situation is already over and cannot become a climate!

Both countries have dealt with their own problems and have begun to bet their eyes on the border.

The war is obviously imminent and is about to break out!—

Perhaps the climate was getting warmer, Xiao Cheng just wore a single dress and sat on the dragon throne, lowering his head to review the memorials.

According to the etiquette system, he is now twenty-two years old and can start to grow his beard.

If it is an ordinary young emperor, it is.

Chapter 14: Stop the army and quit, two years later

To show your own maturity and consolidate your prestige, you naturally have to grow a beard early.

But although Xiao Cheng was young, he had no more prestige between the government and the country since he ascended the throne. Naturally, he did not need to have any beards to deepen his prestige, so his chin was still naked. Compared with two years ago, his appearance had not changed much.

At this time, Lu Bing, who had been promoted to the Duyiwei Envoy of Shangyu Preparatory Office for his merits and officially took charge of the power of the sticking office, and Wang Zhi, the governor of the East Factory, actually walked into the hall together, leaned over and bowed to Xiao Cheng, and said respectfully:

"My minister Lu Bing, pay homage to Your Majesty!"

"I, Wang Zhi, pay homage to Your Majesty!"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Cheng looked up slightly and said in a deep voice:

"Get up! You two suddenly entered the palace to meet, why?"

When he heard Xiao Cheng’s inquiry, Lu Bing and Wang Zhi heard this, he just lowered his head and did not report immediately.

Seeing this, Feng Bao, who was standing aside, knew that the two of them were going to report to each other very much, so he quickly winked at the palace servants who were serving in the hall.

The palace people serving in the hall were very clever. At this time, they received Feng Bao's instructions and quickly bowed and quickly retreated from the Yangxin Inner Palace.

After only a few loyal eunuchs were left in the hall, Lu Bing took out a scroll from his arms, raised his hands high, and spoke first:

"Your Majesty, two months ago, the front-line army discovered that the army was mobilized in various parts of the Xia Kingdom. Your Majesty issued an order to order Shangyu Preparation Office and Dongchang to send people to investigate thoroughly!"

"The guard envoy Zhong Ziguan was ordered to investigate and it has been found that the army on the front line of Xia Kingdom has been mobilized to deploy defense maps!"

The ace of Zhong Ziguan is the sticky rod, and the ability to develop its power through the embroidered leather is naturally the result of Dongchang's spy power in Xia Kingdom, which is not as good as the sticky rod.

But the Dongchang is naturally not a vegetarian!

Wang Zhi, the supervisor of the East Factory, immediately took out a list from his arms and said respectfully:

"Our Dongchang was ordered to launch the Yin family disciples who were in the homes of the court officials of Xia Kingdom to investigate the news and sort out the list of Xia Kingdom's generals who were suddenly transferred to the front line in the past few months. In addition, our Dongchang also found that the Xia army's supplies were stored on the front line. Please check the information!"

Xiao Cheng heard this, but said in a deep voice:
