168.Chapter 168
The enthusiasm for the development of the Great Northern Wilderness and the development of Jinshan are completely different. The former relies on a burning faith, the latter on the thirst for money!
After Ruan Bai returned to Shunyang, he went to visit a friend's house, only to know that King Yue Ze was idle and had nothing to do, so he improved the cement again. The cost has not been reduced much, but the finished product is stronger.
"No, I'll have to put the yard up one more level. There were so many Huns living next door to my house that I couldn't even sleep. King Yue Ze was very worried, and was very depressed that there was still a Hun pregnant woman in his family.
In fact, they didn't live in their house, but allocated a small courtyard in Yueze alone, and sent a special person to guard/monitor.
Not to mention how legitimate people's reasons are. Although the two countries are now on good terms with the Hungarians, the border people have been slaughtered by the Huns for generations, and if the two of them go out and meet a more radical mind, it is easy to have not very good consequences. So for safety reasons, it's better to stay inside.
So one winter, the Huns, pregnant women and maidservants, were stunned and did not even step out of the door, as if they were in prison.
Ruan Bai appeased his friends, and as soon as the spring ploughing was over, he took his own man and a new cement formula to develop and open up Lingnan.
Don't look at his verbal saying that Lingnan is like a golden mountain, in fact, how many years has Lingnan been a place of exile for criminal officials by the imperial court, will it really be a good place with beautiful mountains and rivers?
It's a bit frustrating for him to go alone.
Chu Hao didn't worry about him going alone. Fortunately, he didn't do it in vain in Shunyang last year, and he also trained a few deputies with good abilities to ensure that he would not have problems when he left for a while. Even if there is something that can't be decided, isn't there still General Cao?
There was almost no pause, and the two of them took Ye Dong, who was in the fun, and they started. Xue Xue and Xiao Fat followed, and as for the remaining fat men, they said that they were soaked in the hot spring Zhuangzi and got the grassland and horse farm slowly. Fat Ball wanted to follow, but his parents said they were going to start hunting with him.
After a long journey, Ruan Bai was holding the map for comparison, while making all kinds of records that only he could understand, and from time to time he would get out of the car to buy some local products.
Chu Hao found that there was nothing that Ruan Bai would not do, even if he had never seen it.
Xue Xue and Xiao Pang followed the delicious food and drink, all of them gained a circle, and they were driven out of the car by Ruan Bai during the day to run. The fat people are full of stamina, and they don't take running for a day in a row to heart at all, and they can hunt from time to time.
When the convoy arrived in Zhong'an, Pan Jun still looked like a merchant, and jumped into the carriage where Ye Dong was after greeting him.
Ruan Bai was amazed: "The thickness of this person's skin is simply amazing!" I don't ask if we agree to let him get in the car. ”
Chu Hao was a little sleepy, pillowed on Ruan Bai's legs, and said lazily: "What do you want to do when you chase your daughter-in-law?" He didn't believe that Ruan Bai didn't see Pan Jun's various ill intentions towards Ye Dong. Well, Ye Dong is not indifferent to Pan Jun. He just didn't like his second dog paying attention to others.
Zhong'an is almost next door to Lingnan. This place, which used to be a little unattainable, has recently gathered a large number of outsiders.
If it is an ordinary person, there is no place to spend the night in Zhong'an at this time, even if it is an official, the Zhong'an post is already full.
At this time, the benefits of carrying a land snake are reflected.
Pan Jun took them directly to his house. The front and back houses are not much elegant, and even because they are built directly on the mountain, the layout of some houses is not so square.
Ye Dong is familiar with the road: "The last time I came to Zhong'an, I lived here~"
Pan Jun walked over, scooped up Ye Dong's burden and walked to the other side: "There are so many people here, the room is not enough to live." Adong, you're going to stay with me, right? ”
Ye Dong hesitated for a moment, and the tips of his ears turned red: "Ah...... All right. ”
Ruan Bai watched as the agricultural technicians he had cultivated followed the others. However, he frowned and looked at the backs of Pan Jun and Ye Dong, rubbed his chin and thought about it, revealing a malicious smile, and was immediately pressed into his arms by Chu Hao, struggling dissatisfiedly: "What are you doing?" ”
Chu Hao lowered his head and said to his wife: "Do you want to take you hunting?" ”
"Go!" The whole way was bumped in the carriage, and his whole body was about to fail. If you don't go out now, when the construction officially starts tomorrow, you won't have time to really go out and let the wind out.
So, in the evening of Pan's house, everyone watched Chu Hao come back with a python more than three meters long, and they had a deeper understanding of the various horror legends in Lingnan.
The road repair team is very well prepared with all kinds of medicines, and there are even three doctors with the team, all of whom are famous local doctors, who are particularly good at dealing with various traumatic injuries and poisonous snake bites.
The direction of the Lingnan road has long been decided.
Everyone got up early in the morning, and after integrating the team, they did not go directly into the mountains and forests, but worshiped the ancestral gods.
The solemn and elaborate ceremony took a whole day.
Pan Jun still did not leave the team, but turned from a merchant to a guide: "The lower official has ordered someone to carry out a preliminary cleanup of the road, and now there are still people in front of him who are rushing to work day and night. ”
As a Great Zhou official, Pan Jun is no different from others, and they all want to have a relationship with this God of Wealth of the Great Zhou. Zhong'an is so close to Lingnan that it can almost be called the gateway to Lingnan. He didn't know what the God of Wealth had to do to build the road, but that didn't prevent him from having almost blind confidence in Ruan Bai. After all, once the road in Lingnan is repaired, Zhong'an will benefit greatly.
"Hmm. You're doing a good job. "When Ruan Bai and Chu Hao entered the mountains and forests on the day they first arrived, they had already noticed it. Most of the plants in the area designated as a road have been cleared, which has brought great convenience to the work of the road repair team. For some other supporting supplies, Pan Jun has also done some work.
When Pan Jun heard Ruan Bai's praise, he was not arrogant, but just bowed down and said, "I hope that Lord Ruan can stay with you to study during this time." "His background is ordinary, and he doesn't have any background backing in the court, and being able to be an official is like a blessing. Ren Di is in such a remote place as Zhong'an, which is a good thing for him. After all, remoteness means less profit, and it also means that no one will come to stare at such a small place as him. He was also able to steadily develop his power.
But what about once the road in Lingnan is built directly to Zhong'an? Not to mention that the road has just begun to be repaired now, he bets that if it weren't for the delay for the New Year, his current county order in Zhong'an would have been transferred to an unknown place.
However, as a family member (?) He was still a little upset about his future daughter-in-law being obedient to Ruan Baiyan.
Ruan Bai squinted his eyes and smiled kindly, and he was not polite: "Well, then you can keep it." "Most of the time, it's not a bad thing to have a local pass, especially if this local pass still treats him as an old man to curry favor with him, which feels a little subtle.
In just a few words, the road repair team composed of nearly 1,000 auxiliary troops had all entered the deep mountains and forests. The originally huge number of people disappeared in an instant.
The expression on Pan Jun's face was very complicated for a moment. A thousand people, just at the time of the sacrifice, is a very large number. But to rely on these 1,000 people to conquer the complex mountainous terrain of Lingnan, intellectually he still can't believe it. Which time in history has the project not been mournful? Even if the wisdom of the original decision was proved in the future, at the time, and even for generations to come, it caused wounds that would be difficult to heal.
In comparison, a team of 1,000 people, are they all strong men, can they open mountains and crack rocks?
That's right, the difficulty of this road from Lingnan to Zhong'an has never been to pave the road, but to open the road.
As a result, they really cracked the rocks.
Ruan Bai is not an expert in explosives, but he has learned it systematically. He didn't feel at ease with who he handed over the explosives, which was the main reason why he had to come with him in person this time.
The road construction team is still doing preliminary work, and thanks to the addition of various advanced tools and materials, the speed of the project is simply a rapid progress.
They continued to work methodically that day, when they heard a dry landmine. A sensitive auditory person pointed out: "It doesn't sound like one sound, it's several sounds in a row." ”
"It's a strange thing to have a dry landmine."
"Huh? Isn't that the direction where Lord Ruan and Lord Chu go? ”
"Oops! Come on, come and see a few brothers with me! ”
"Doctor! Bring the doctor! ”
The construction site is not close to the place of the incident, especially since the surrounding area is still a rugged mountain even if it has been cleaned. Although the auxiliary army from Shunyang is not very proficient in running in the mountains, it is enough to run in the bottom body. But the doctor who was arrested was bitter, and finally found Ruan Bai and Chu Hao, and smeared gold sore medicine on a little abrasion on the back of Chu Hao's hand with a stern face, indicating that he did not come in vain.
It wasn't the first time Chu Hao had seen explosives, but he was also a little confused at this moment. When Ruan Bai gave him those bombs, he could almost hear a sound. The current explosives, well, are a hundred times larger than the small black projectiles he had at the beginning, but he understands that even if there are thousands of such projectiles, they will definitely not be able to blow up a mountain.
After the explosion of the explosives, various debris was splashed. He was so shocked that he almost forgot to dodge, which caused a slight bruise on the back of his hand. Originally, with his skills, he could have been completely unscathed; Not to mention that Ruan Bai had prepared protective measures early.
Ruan Bai was a little disgraced, but he was not injured, and even because he had prepared cotton to plug his ears early, he didn't even have tinnitus.
At this point, the doctor finally realized that something was wrong. He frowned at first, then his eyes widened suddenly, and he opened his mouth and pointed vigorously to the place where the original hill was, and he was speechless excitedly: "Ah! Ahh ”
The auxiliaries were confused and didn't understand what was going on. All they had to do was make sure their two adults were safe. The road repair team hasn't cleared this section yet, and they don't know how much has changed.
Only a doctor who was born locally and often goes into the mountains to collect medicine, and is so familiar with this mountain forest that it is like a doctor in his own back garden, can easily struggle to come up with a few words: "No! Mountain, gone! ”
