"Glutinous rice? I have glutinous rice! Although you don't plant much, you can still eat a few meals. ”

In Huang Wudie's eyes, eating is a big deal, how can she let go so easily.

I know you're a rich woman, so you don't have to show off like that.

"But there is no one here in Nanxiang, how about talking about this matter when the grain is transported next time?"

It seems that I have to pick a few more servants, and it is always a little difficult for Amei to prepare food for such a large group of people by herself.

Feng Yong thought secretly in his heart.

"Speaking of transporting grain, the concubine came to Nanxiang this time precisely for this matter." With Feng Yong's assurance, Huang Wudie did not continue to entangle.

"This year's summer grain is almost finished, so Feng Langjun can prepare to transport grain from Nanzheng again, that is not a trivial matter, the concubine came this time to discuss this matter with Feng Langjun."

Huang Wudie is considered her partner, and Feng Yong naturally can't let her carry her own food like others.

"Manpower is a trivial matter, but this cart transporting grain ......"

Feng Yong was a little big when he heard that the grain was transported, and the amount of transportation was too small in these years.

Not only that, but the roads are all dirt roads this year, and the road conditions are not good.

If you use Han water transportation, it will be even more troublesome.

You have to transport it from Nanzheng to the Han River, then go all the way down the Han River, and finally you have to travel a waterway back to Nanxiang.

How much of a circle does this have to take?

The point is that there is no ship of its own.

If only there were a train, but also a car.

There is no way, textile workshops and pastures are places where food is not produced, and food must not be broken.

Therefore, no matter how high the cost is, it is necessary to maintain sufficient food.

At this time, Feng Yongcai deeply felt the helplessness of Zhuge Old Demon who had no food halfway through the Northern Expedition.

From Nanzheng to Nanxiang, all the way can be regarded as plains, and grain can be transported by ox carts and horse-drawn carts, Feng Yongdu feels that it is really a waste of too much manpower and animal power.

From Hanzhong out of Guanzhong or Liangzhou, many sections of mountain roads and plank roads are difficult for even cars to pass, and I don't know how Zhuge Old Demon maintains the rations of tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of people.

"In this way, I will send a message to the Hanzhong Metallurgical Huo Supervisor over there in Nanzheng, and ask him to ask the people of Hanzhong Metallurgical to build some more cars, and a few days ago I got some cattle and horses from Fu County, and they were also placed in Nanzheng's pasture."

"When the car is built, I'll send some more people here. The summer grain has come down, and it is the right thing to transport it as soon as possible. ”

There are many serfs who are willing to turn over and sing, so if it is just to transport grain, Feng Tujiao does not have to worry about the shortage of manpower.

Although the problem raised by Huang Wudie was temporarily solved, this incident also gave Feng Yong a wake-up call, making him finally realize that with the explosive growth of Nanxiang's population, the food problem will become more and more prominent in the future.

If this problem is solved, grain will inevitably become one of the bottlenecks restricting the population growth of Nanxiang in the near future.

Agriculture is the primary industry, and this really makes sense.

It is not impossible to rely on external transportation, but Nanxiang must be attractive enough, so it is necessary to speed up the pace of exchanging grain for cloth.

This matter was registered in Feng Yong's heart, and he couldn't let go of it in his heart, so he stood at the intersection in a daze inexplicably early the next morning.

"Brother, what are you doing?"

Li Qiu was a leisurely one, and when he saw Feng Yong everywhere, he immediately walked over and asked.

"Railway!"

Feng Yong said unconsciously and pointed to the road in front of him, "This road is not good, I want to repair it." ”

Li Qiu nodded in agreement, "Hanzhong has been war-torn for a long time, and it is reasonable that the road is deserted, but this official road can still be driven now, which is considered good." ”

What a fart! When it rains, it's so muddy, not to mention a car, even people can't walk, what's good?

"How far is it from Nanxiang to Nanzheng?"

Feng Yong suddenly asked again.

"Less than 200 miles, you can reach it in two hours on horseback, and if you are an ordinary person walking, you can reach it in two days."

That is, less than a hundred kilometers?

It doesn't seem that far away.

Feng Yong slapped his thigh and said, "Repaired!" ”

"What does my brother want to fix?"

"Build roads."

"Here?"

Li Qiu looked at Feng Yong in surprise and pointed to the road in front of him.

"That's right, repair to Nanzheng."

Feng Yong nodded.

"How much does that cost?"

Li Qiu asked in disbelief.

"It doesn't cost much." Feng Yong shook his head, "It's not to open the road, it's just to repair this road and spread some slag on it to make the road smoother." ”

The cement that Feng Yong made was specially used for the tofu slag project, and that kind of cement was a joke at all.

Except for the advantage of building speed, it is useless, at most it is for temporary emergency use.

If you use this kind of cement to build concrete, it will collapse in a few years.

But no matter how slag concrete work is, it is better than dirt roads, right?

And he also guards a coal mine.

Although this coal mine is certainly pitifully small compared to the large coal mines in later generations that have reserves of hundreds of millions of tons at every turn.

But Feng Yong doesn't use coal to generate electricity, and there is no industrial application, if it only supplies a few thousand people to heat the fire, it is enough to use it until the world is old.

What's more, Nanxiang has the largest gypsum mine in Asia, as well as hundreds of millions of tons of limestone reserves.

"If you are cultivating the official road in Nanxiang County, it is indispensable, but if you go out of Nanxiang County, it is not appropriate, right?"

Li Qiu hesitated.

"What's wrong?" Feng Yong glanced at Li Qiu, "It's a big deal, I'll say it to the prime minister." ”

If you have something to find Zhuge Old Demon, who dare to force it?

You don't have to think about the reason, just tell the truth.

Now that Nanxiang is the second largest county in Hanzhong, how could Zhuge Old Demon not agree?

Only the more convenient the traffic, the better the control of the place.

"If you want to get rich, you must first build roads."

Feng Yong waved his hand, "That's it." ”

The key is that although the materials on the construction site should be sufficient, the manpower will never be enough, so Feng Tugui will definitely not be brain-dead and take care of the old demon Zhuge .

The ultimate purpose of building roads is for oneself, but objectivity is beneficial to the imperial court.

Therefore, Feng Tujiao decided to enter a seal to the prime minister of the Han Empire, called "Nanxiang to Nanzheng Xiu Road Test".

It will focus on the application of the latest materials (tofu slag engineering cement), and it is also a pilot for the large-scale application of new technological materials in the Han Empire.

Cheng Feng Yong, the captain of the Hanzhong Dian Agricultural School, took the initiative to apply for a cameo appearance as a contractor to undertake the national highway construction project.

Feng Tujiao believed that for the sake of cement application, Zhuge Old Demon would properly agree to his request.

"By the way, I still have to go to Guan Ji for this matter."

Feng Yong's words couldn't be handled, so of course he had to ask Guan Ji for help.

Hearing Feng Yong's words, Li Qiu's face was a little strange, and he coughed dryly at the moment, "Brother don't be in a hurry, the younger brother saw Guan Niangzi and Huang Niangzi going out together this morning, so he should be looking for a place to learn martial arts." ”

Sure enough, it still can't be avoided?

Feng Yong's face was a little dull, and he asked Li Qiu, "You know?" ”

Li Qiu didn't laugh or cry, and he didn't know what to look like, "The matter of the daughter-in-law of the Guan family and the daughter-in-law of the Huang family, who knows a little bit of news in Jincheng, who doesn't know?" After all, he was a character who fought at night back then. ”

"In my generation, even if they are brave, no one dares to speak lightly in front of the second daughter."

So, you and Huang Chong didn't see me sandwiched between the two yesterday?

Is there a bit of righteousness? Yes!
