In the Later Han Dynasty, Yu Xu, who had strongly opposed the general Deng Qiu's abandonment of Liangzhou's claim, served as the Taishou of Wudu to resist the Qiang people.

He personally presided over the excavation of the Qishan Road water transportation project.

This project, starting from Fu County, to the end of the next argument, burning stone and wood for dozens of miles, opening the boat road, and finally the water transportation is profitable, saving more than 40 million yuan.

The entire Wudu also benefited from this, from about 10,000 households to 40,000 households in two or three years.

When the prime minister of the Han Dynasty led the Northern Expedition to Longyou, he personally surveyed a circle of places that Yu Xu had governed.

Then he wrote a letter to the big man and the little fat man:

Qishan went to Fu County for 500 miles, there are thousands of households, pay attention to its mounds and ruins, and believe that it is Yin.

It means that in the five hundred miles from Qishan to Fu County, there are thousands of people, and I just look at the graves along the way, and I know how rich they were back then.

After the Han Dynasty obtained Longyou, the Han Dynasty wanted to strengthen the connection between Longyou and Hanzhong, and the Xinghan Society wanted to increase the transportation volume of Longyou.

The two hit it off, Xinghan will provide technology, food and money, and Dahan will send people, vigorously develop and maintain Qishan Road, and at the same time re-widen the waterway to dredge the blockage.

Because of the professional team of Nanxiang Engineering Team, the quality and speed of construction have improved much compared with Yu Xu's time.

Over the years, the Qishan road has not only been much wider, but also much smoother, and the boats coming and going along the waterway have become busier and busier.

In the entire Qishan Road, not only have enough post posts been built, but there are even many guest houses to provide food and accommodation for business travelers.

According to the practice of previous years, the Qishan Road from Hanzhong to Longyou will not start to be busy until March.

But this year there are some exceptions, and it is only in February, and the transport horse fleet on the Qishan Road has begun to increase.

The bell on the neck of the Yunnan horse tinkled non-stop, echoing melodiously on the Qishan Road.

At the end of Qishan Road, there is Qishan.

Qishan Mountain Range is located on the north side of the West Han River, overlooking the West Han River, stretching for more than 60 miles, even the mountains are beautiful, Luo Feng is conscientious, and the right throat of Shu and Longyou is controlled.

There are dangerous places such as the city and the wooden doorway.

The waters of the Western Han Dynasty pass through the Qinling Mountains of Wudu County, where they leave the mountains and enter the plains.

This location, later generations had a name, called Kawaguchi, that is, the exit of the Sichuan people.

At this pass, there is a mountain of earth standing abruptly, as if flying in mid-air, it is particularly eye-catching, this is Qishan Fort.

On the top of the mountain directly opposite the Qishan Fort, there are various dock forts built by using the Qishan Mountain Range, and the Qishan Fort is a horn.

Out of the Kawaguchi, it is Nishixian.

It can be said that if the army comes from Hanzhong, Qishan Fort not only has a favorable location, but also has its back to the people of Xixian County.

If it weren't for the surprise of the first Northern Expedition, and at the same time the support of the engineering battalion under the command of King Feng Guiwang, it would not be a problem for Qishan Fort to hold on.

This is also one of the reasons why during the Battle of Longyou, Zhuge Old Demon has been wandering in Xixian.

Xixian can not only support the army going north, but also turn back through Qishan Fort at any time to respond to Wudu, so as to prevent the Wei army from taking the old road from Sanguan to enter Wudu and cut off the back road of the Northern Expedition army.

In February, although the amount of water in the Western Han Dynasty is not too large, it is enough for boats.

Li Ming stood on the bow of the ship, looking at Qishan Fort two hundred steps away, like a squatting tiger, staring at the Western Han River and Qishan Road.

Although he knew that the people on Qishan Fort were looking at this side of the Han soldiers, Li Ming still felt a heavy sense of depression in his heart.

Another person walked out of the cabin, it was Ma Tian, whom he met in Hanzhong.

He stood behind Li Ming and said with emotion: "Dangerous place! ”

Li Ming, who looked at the hill opposite Qishan Fort, did not look back, and said:

"Such a dangerous place, when the prime minister went to Long, I don't know how to fight it?"

"I heard that at that time, the Wei thief never imagined that the prime minister would lead the army north, and Feng Tingshi had already prepared, so he captured it."

Feng Thorn History?

Li Ming was silent.

Along the way, I have heard too much news about Feng Tingshi.

More than I've heard in previous years.

Because as the bottom floor of the Li family's big house, he didn't need to worry so much about it before.

What's more, in this piece of the Shu Plain, King Feng Ghost didn't toss too much at all.

What he tossed was Hanzhong, Nanzhong, Yueshan, Longyou, and Liangzhou......

Li Ming, who had been staying in the rural manor of Guanghan County, was naturally filtered layer after layer when he got the information of Feng Ghost King.

It wasn't until he came out of the Li family's manor that he understood what the title "Feng Thorn History" meant.

Maybe it was when he reached the pass, but he only began to slow down, and when he looked ahead, he saw that it was full of ships.

Even the land route of Qishan Road next to it, people neighed and screamed, and it was very lively.

"Boatman, how long will it be before this passes?"

Martin was a man who could put his body down, and on several occasions along the way, he crouched on the bow of the boat and chatted with the boatmen.

The boatman was a wrinkled man from Padang County, and he heard that the first emperor had transported grain to the army in the year when he attacked Wu.

Later, the first emperor was defeated, and the shipwrights had no work, and the whole family almost couldn't survive.

Fortunately, there was another relationship between the Han and the Wu State, and in the end, he did not sell his whole family to the manor of the big family.

Later, Wu Guo transported raw sugar to Dahan, and Dahan transported wool to Wu Guo, and there were more and more exchanges, and the life of the shipwrights also improved.

Originally, he wanted to give the boat to his son to take charge, but after Xinghan learned that he had good boat skills, he offered a big price that he couldn't refuse, and let him come out to operate the boat again.

But this time, he didn't operate his own boat, but the ship of the Xinghan Society.

And it is no longer from Badong County to Jingzhou, but to and from the Western Han River.

Over the past few years, he has not only worked with others to explore the waterways of the Western Han River, but also sometimes to test new ships.

I heard that this new ship was made by the prime minister himself, and it was called a flowing horse, but I don't know if it's true.

As for what I do the most on weekdays, I want to take some novices and teach them how to sail in the rapids.

Tired is a little tired, but at the end of the year, the money and food in hand can be compared to the sum of his previous six or seven years in a year.

The most important thing is that as long as he has worked for three years, the family can send a child to Longyou, or go to Yueshan, where there is a school to let the child read and write.

When the days are hopeful, my waist is unconsciously straightened, and my voice is loud:

"This gentleman, this year is not as good as in previous years! The little one has never seen so many ships in February since he sailed here. ”

"At most, they are in a hurry to travel between Longshang and Hanzhong, which is like now? Not to mention the horse teams on the road. ”

"Last year, when there were the most horse teams on the road, they were not as good as half of the current ......"

Among the apprentices brought by the boatman, two of them are literate Xiao Langjun, and I heard that they have studied in the school.

At that time, he often asked him how the Dajiang waterway from Shu to Jingzhou was different from the Western Han Dynasty.

Then at the end of last year, the two little Langjun said that they were going to Patong County to learn how to sail in the river from others.

As for why they came to learn to sail after entering the academy, the boatmen were also very strange.

Later, I learned that it was said that this was the arrangement of the head of the school.

As long as they learn to sail in the river, they will have the opportunity to become a captain in the army in the future.

This is the envy of the boatmen in particular.

It's not the same life!

They are all boaters, and they can only be shouted at by others.

Others have the opportunity to become generals.

The boatman thought, if his grandson can really enter the school, I don't know if there is such an opportunity?

With such a thought, the boatman was close to the two little Langjun.

He didn't know what the mountain chief was, but because of the relationship between the two little langjun, he also knew how to call those who were learned Mr.

With this title alone, he felt that he was also tainted with the breath of learning.

Hearing the boatman babbling, Ma Tian and Li Ming glanced at each other, and both of them had some worry in their eyes.

It stands to reason that compared with land transportation, Cao Yun not only has a large volume, but also a few times or even nearly ten times the loss.

However, the time to start the Cao Yun is not only earlier than last year, but even the number of horse teams has skyrocketed, which can only explain one problem:

The food problem in Liangzhou is probably far more simple than it is rumored.

I just don't know if the rumored Feng Ghost King, who has accumulated unparalleled wealth, has the ability to solve the food problem in Liangzhou?

With such a thought, I waited under Qishan Fort for a day, and finally crossed the Qishan Pass and came to Xixian.

From the mountains to the plains, the vision suddenly opens up.

But without the obstruction of the Qinling Mountains, there is still a lot of chill in Longyou in February.

Although the white disaster in last winter was not as serious as that of Liangzhou, Longyou was also affected.

However, because Feng Tingshi has been operating Longyou for many years, Longyou's foundation is much thicker than that of Liangzhou.

At least as far as Qianghu is concerned, their food source is no longer just cattle and sheep in the pasture.

In addition, the improvement of the carrying capacity of livestock in the pasture, as well as the standardization of breeding, and the construction of green storage towers.

So in this cold winter, the life of the Hu people in Longyou is many times better than that of Liangzhou.

In the past, the Qiang Guardian Captain's Mansion led by King Feng Ghost was a gold-swallowing monster.

Pingxiang now has no blood sucking from this monster, and can even support some food for Liangzhou emergency.

It's just that whether it is the wealthy family of Liangzhou or Pingxiang, the food that can be provided is not unlimited after all.

These grains are only given to help the Liangzhou Thorn Mansion through the most urgent time.

The remaining food shortfall still has to be solved elsewhere.

That's why Qishan Road became busy a month in advance.

After disembarking in Xixian, Li Ming Ma Tian connected with Feng Huwei, and at the same time gathered with other horse teams that were all heading to Liangzhou, and began to set off for Pingxiang.

There were also many companions from the Hu team on Pingxiang's side.

From Tianshui to Liangzhou, there are three roads.

But whether it is to pass through the south road of Dadou Bagu or to cross the middle road of Hongchi Ridge, it is difficult to pass through the mountains with heavy snow at this time.

There is only the north road, although it is necessary to detour and the supply is not easy, but at least there is no need to climb the mountain.

A few years ago, there was a lesson, the Yunnan horses from Shu land, because they couldn't stand the water, soil and climate of Longyou, there were a lot of losses.

Therefore, Feng Huwei was very careful along the way, and every time he arrived at the ground, he immediately ordered his subordinates to pay attention to wiping the sweat of the horses, rubbing their backs, and then putting on blankets.

So after crossing the great river, some horses still fell.

"Boss, this won't work! No matter how much we pay attention, this horse is from Shu after all, and it can't stand the water and soil of Liangzhou. ”

"If we really want to go on like this, even if we can get to Guzang, I'm afraid that more than half of the horses will be lost......"

For the people of the horse team, the horses that get along day and night are their partners.

I know how many partners will fall, but I can't grit my teeth and move forward.

It's a feeling of extreme anxiety.

"I don't know! Don't I know? ”

Guard Feng watched the fallen horses being carried away, and his face was already extremely ugly.

When I heard this at this time, I turned my head and scolded:

"You all know things, don't you know the prince! But why did you still have to give a death order to transport grain to Liangzhou? ”

What does this mean? It can only show that the prince's side has reached the point where grain must be transported at any cost! ”

"Is it the princes or these horses that are important? Mind clouded with lard? Can't you tell the difference between the important and the important? ”

"It's better to have this time to nag here, and if you don't make more preparations, you can let one more horse survive, it's better than you standing and talking! Get out, get out! ”

He grunted as he flew over with great force, kicking his mouthy men to the ground.

Ma Tian, who saw this scene from afar, said with some emotion:

"The soldier brought out by Feng Junhou still has such knowledge, it's really not simple!"

Although he was a little reluctant to admit it, Li Ming still had to nod:

"So in my mind, this is the confidence of the official who dares to take the exam to choose Liangzhou."

Whether you want to admit it or not, even if you take the exam and select talents, it is still a big family that takes the lead and is cheap.

Because the heritage of the family is far from being comparable to the Hanmen Shu clan.

Not to mention those who are so grateful.

Although that Feng Tingshi proposed the limitation of arithmetic, don't forget that the number in the six arts of the gentleman "etiquette, music, archery, royalty, calligraphy, and number" is actually the art of arithmetic.

Therefore, the arithmetic foundation of the children of the family is better than others.

As long as someone teaches the children of the family to learn the art of Nanxiang arithmetic, it will be much easier than others.

If the one who is not prepared at all, he will take the examination and select talents, but I am afraid that the entire Liangzhou government officials will be controlled by the children of the family.

But what about now?

I actually want to learn the art of Nanxiang arithmetic from a martial artist who retired from the army.

In the past, if the children of the poor family wanted to learn, they were either extremely lucky to meet the great Confucian public lecture.

Either you put down your dignity and beg the family to read books.

What now?

On the Nanxiang side, the classics sorted out by the imperial court were printed all over the street.

You can borrow it for free if you don't have any money, and it's the kind of book that is beautifully made of paper.

As for the texts annotated by the great families...... You don't let me see it, you just annotate it as a flower, so what's the matter with me?

Along the way, especially what he saw and heard in Nanxiang, Li Ming had a sense of fear for the legendary character.

This sense of fear comes from his status as a child of the family.

Li Ming doesn't understand what a dimensionality reduction strike is.

But he understands that in the face of all kinds of new things in Nanxiang, the family's long-standing methods are as naïve as children, and they have no power to resist at all.

In other words, because of the relationship between Nanxiang, the gap between the children of the family and the children of the poor family is constantly getting smaller.

Even behind the children of the poor family, there are still people chasing after them.

If the family doesn't take advantage of its own advantages, go to the exam to gain a foothold.

Then in time, those who catch up will become the children of the family.

When the school was established in Nanxiang, saying that it was to educate the Cangtou Qianshou and the Hu barbarians, who would have thought today?

What is foresight, this can be described as a thing!

"Hello! Hello! ”

Feng Tingshi, who was far away in Guzang, sneezed twice in a row, he rubbed his nose and muttered, "Obviously the sun is so big, how can you get cold?" ”

Wuwei Valley water, flowing through Guzang, is the largest water flow in Wuwei County except for the big river, and it is also one of the best irrigation water sources in Wuwei County.

Seeing that it is about to enter spring, and when it is spring, it is necessary to spring ploughing, and spring ploughing is the most important thing in the year.

Therefore, Feng Tingshi wanted to go out of the city to inspect the flow of water in the valley.

Not far away, Shuangshuang and Ah Worm had already taken off their thick coats, but their whole bodies were still tightly wrapped and they were chasing Laifu.

Laifu is a text dog, when Feng Thorn Shi went to Nanzhong, one person and one dog also sang to each other along the way.

It's just that Wen Dog met a bear child, and it was impossible to reason, so he could only run away with his tail and run around.

"Shuangshuang worm, your grandmother called you back to the house for dinner!"

A voice came from afar, and Secretary Zhang sat on the mule with his legs together, shouting to this side.

Father and son went unanswered.

Seeing this, Secretary Zhang was immediately furious, turned over and got off the mule, walked over, and picked up a bear child in one hand.

Then he walked to the water's edge and said loudly to Feng Tingshi, who was squatting at the water's edge:

"Brother-in-law, it's time to go back to the city."

Feng Tingshi waved his hand and replied:

"Don't be noisy, I'm checking the hydrological situation!"

As he spoke, the goose feathers on the water suddenly sank downward, and Feng Tingshi hurriedly picked up the fishing rod and lifted it!

A fish three fingers wide was pulled out of the sparkling water and thrown onto the shore.

With a "wow", they hurriedly pointed to the bouncing fish and shouted, "Fish! Fish! ”

As he spoke, he twisted his little body, trying to escape from Aunt Zhang's clutches and go fishing.

"Don't go! Fishy! ”

Secretary Zhang shouted, "If I make trouble again, I'll tell your mother when I go back, saying that you are disobedient!" ”

General Guan Da is the only existence in the mansion that can suppress the little witch, and when he heard this, he immediately behaved.

"Brother-in-law, let's go, there is an official document coming over from Hanzhong this morning, I have something to tell you."

"Good, good!"

Feng Tingshi had no choice but to get up, take Shuangshuang from Zhang Xingyi's hand, and the two of them turned back with a child in their arms.

The rest of the stuff has its own entourage to pick up.

"What Liangzhou needs most now is food, and Hanzhong doesn't send more food over, so what's the use of sending more official documents?"

Don't look at Feng Tingshi's mood to come out fishing, in fact, he has nothing else to do now except wait for the food to come.

At least going out to fish can also give the people below a sense of calmness.

Zhang Xingyi ignored his complaints, walked silently for a while, and suddenly said:

"The imperial court is ready to appoint a long history to the Assassin's Mansion."

"Huh?!"

When Feng Yong heard this, he suddenly turned his head to look at Zhang Xingyi, and his head almost hit Shuangshuang, "What?" ”

The elder historian is in charge of the soldiers and horses, and also assists the assassin in charge of the army, and when necessary, he can even replace the assassin in charge of state affairs.

To put it bluntly, it is an official who checks and balances the history of assassination.

"What are you looking at me for? I didn't know beforehand. ”

Zhang Xingyi glared at Feng Tingshi angrily.

"Who?"

Zhang Xingyi sighed: "Look at your appearance!" Isn't it normal for the Assassin Mansion to have a long history? ”

Feng Tingshi sneered.

Zhang Xingyi also sneered at this person: "Since Feng Tingshi doesn't want a long history, it seems that he doesn't want a fake festival either......"

"it!"
