After the explanation, Chen Zhengtai stretched his waist, and the third uncle also looked at Chen Zhengtai expectantly, as if he realized that Chen Zhengtai was about to do a glorious thing, he patted Chen Zhengtai on the shoulder: "The old man ...... as a person who came over."

Chen Zhengtai slipped away and fled.

The construction team has already begun, and countless craftsmen and labourers have begun to build the foundations, paving the roadbed with gravel, tamping it, and then starting to lay out the sunken timber.

Huge wooden nails, nailed between the cracks in the stones, at first, the progress was not fast, but the speed of the follow-up ...... But it began to grow faster.

In this world, it has always been a process of starting from nothing.

Soon, it was noticed that if the roadbed was built at one end, the progress would be slow.

Thereupon...... Some technicians began to try to use the method of sectional construction.

Of course, this kind of construction tests the technical personnel's mapping of the terrain, because once the surveying and mapping fails, the consequences are unimaginable.

A group of people hid together every day, tried various methods, and after a few experiments, finally got something to look like, so some special instruments were developed.

The craftsmen laid the foundation section by piece, had sleepers, and began to lay the tracks.

At the same time, the car-making workshop has sent personnel, and they have tried to design and match the wheels of the rails, and try again and again on the existing rails.

Increasingly, it was discovered that the only way to get a carriage to run on the tracks was to make the wheels and rails extremely detailed, and only by standardizing this could be done.

Chen Zhengye has to take care of construction, supplies, and a lot of trivial things almost every day.

However, he found a gratifying thing, that the efficiency of such a large project, after the training of these craftsmen and laborers, was greatly improved compared to when they were organized to do the work.

After all, because of the exercises, everyone is more peaceful and self-disciplined than before, and they are more disciplined, and the cooperation between them is very harmonious.

This does the engineering...... It's the same as marching and fighting.

Chen Zhengye was like a treasure, and he actually cultivated his own experience overnight, and then asked people to send it to Chen Zhengtai with a fast horse.

When Chen Zhengtai got the letter, he couldn't help but be surprised, he hadn't heard of it...... After the exercise, it can also be beneficial to production.

Could this be the legendary militarized management?

But to be honest, Chen Zhengtai doesn't quite agree with this kind of thing, even if it can improve work efficiency.

In Chen Zhengtai's view, these people are recruited laborers, not animals that are randomly called, and militarization means that people must sacrifice and give up a large amount of their work and rest, if it is fine in special circumstances, but if it is like this in ordinary times, then it is like a madness.

It's just that...... For laborers outside the border......

After pondering for a long time, Chen Zhengtai finally made a choice, because Chen Zhengtai knew very well that Guanzhong was not as good as Guanzhong, and Guanzhong was a peaceful and comfortable place. However, there are a lot of risks lurking outside the gates, and countless tigers and wolves are waiting there, and if they are not militarized, once they encounter danger, then it will not be sweat, but blood.

Therefore, Chen Zhengtai deliberated again and again, and decided that all the laborers outside the Guan, except for those who built the rails, that is, the people who built Shuofang City, all carried out a short military drill, and the three days of training were all in the morning, and of course, the salary was paid as usual.

The order reached Qi He Li, and Qi He Li couldn't help but rub his hands excitedly.

He had been looking forward to this day for a long time.

There is a lack of manpower here, and it is impossible to effectively build a sizable military horse, which used to rely on the protection of the Turks, but now, this layer of protection has become less and less reliable, and the original sheepdog has become a wild wolf, with fierce eyes and fangs.

He Li immediately began to set about it, and there was no shortage of weapons here, because the steel workshops here were working almost non-stop, and the output was amazing.

Qi He Li couldn't help drooling, this is the desert, in the desert, what people lack most is pig iron, but the Han people came here, excavated minerals, built kilns, and continuously produced steel that was tougher than pig iron, and made all kinds of blades through molds or forging.

Immediately, he divided all the craftsmen and laborers into ten large battalions, and carried out different exercises according to different types of work.

For example, this shepherd mostly practiced horsemanship and fighting with horses, and like ordinary craftsmen, most of them were used as foot soldiers or to defend the city.

All of a sudden, the entire Shuofang had a little more murderous aura.

…………

In the city of Chang'an, in a quiet house.

A scribe cautiously entered the house, he bowed over, and now the sky was already dark, and the man bowed down, and did not dare to come out, and bowed his head, not daring to look at the person sitting behind the bookcase in the depths of the hall.

There was only a small oil lamp lit in the hall, and the faces of people could no longer be seen clearly, but the people sitting there were like old monks, not moving at all.

But even if he didn't move, he had already scared the little scribe a lot, and he stumbled and said, "Lang Jun, the Hu people have lowered the price a lot...... Recent...... Many merchants who went out of the customs lowered the price very low, and most of these Hu people had already raised Diao, and they didn't even pay attention to the goods that had been shipped out with all their hard work......

"Hmm......" Under the oil lamp, the person in the hall seemed to have lifted the lid of the tea cup and knocked it a few times.

The scribe said tremblingly: "Speaking of which, it is still because of those merchants who are flocking out of the customs, they have no rules at all, and when they arrive in Shuofang, they are even more lawless...... Dare to sell any goods......"

"Got it."

He said three words softly, and the people in the depths of the hall did not respond, and the oil lamp was so dim that the shadow covered his face, and only a pair of eyes, which shone brightly because of the light.

"Lang Jun, if you continue like this, I'm afraid that you will lose a lot, and there are ...... Goguryeo there ......"

"Got it."

With these three words, the tone began to become heavier, as if he seemed impatient, and his voice was cold, as if he came from hell.

The scribe was so frightened that his face was miserable, but only these three words, as if he had lost his soul, snapped, and fell to the ground: "Ten thousand deaths." ”

There was a deathly silence in the hall.

No one responded to the scribe, and the scribe had to keep kowtowing tremblingly, and the old man with his hips arched high kept his kneeling posture like this, not daring to move.

After a long time, when the scribe felt that his legs and feet no longer belonged to him, he grinned, but still did not dare to move.

Suddenly, the people in the depths of the hall sighed: "It is said that the gentleman's Ze will decline in the third generation, and he will be beheaded in the fifth generation." The twenty-seventh generation of my family calendar, generations of glory, I can't imagine that today, as it is, how can it still be ranked in the high gate if it continues like this for a long time? ”

As he spoke, he let out a long sigh, "Go down." ”

The scribe seemed to have received amnesty, and thanked him for his kindness: "Xie Langjun." ”

He barely stood up, his legs were numb and he could barely stand steadily, and he was about to leave...... A voice suddenly came from behind him: "Wait." ”

The scribe's face changed suddenly: "Lang Jun ......"

"There is a letter on the case, you take it, Pegasus passes the book out of the customs, remember: be cautious and careful."

"......"

………………

Autumn goes to winter, Xiao Suo in Guanzhong can't help but have a little more, and the weather becomes cold, especially in the early morning, when the wind blows like a knife.

But at this time, the sound of Lang Lang's reading has been heard in the Erpigou University Hall, and the people who are about to prepare for the exam, as well as the new students, among their respective teachers, even if it is only the middle time at this time, the morning reading still does not fall.

In such a cold and freezing weather, the third uncle still got up very early, every time he passed by the school, there was a sense of satisfaction in his heart, the court has a will, the spring of the coming year, the upcoming test, this spring test is determined by the next candidate for the world's jinshi, the stakes are significant, it is reported that the teaching and research group, has reached the point of madness, it is rumored that as long as you get to the teaching and research group's public room, you can always hear a few sneers, these people, it seems that they only toss people for fun, two hours of the exam, they began to shorten to one and a half hours, and the exam questions, It is also said to have reached the point of inhumanity.

There are even rumors in this Erpigou, saying that it is not possible to marry a girl to marry the teaching and research group, not because the salary of the people in the teaching and research group is low, on the contrary, their salary is extremely high, and their life is good, but I heard that they only take pleasure in torturing people all day long, and they are very sick, and when they eat and sleep from time to time, they will inevitably show a hideous or obscene appearance, if they do not see the sad faces of the students, they will be depressed for several days, until they see a wail in the school, and then they show a smile of satisfaction and relief.

Originally, when the third uncle passed by the university hall on the road, he would stay for a while to listen to the sound of reading, or to listen to the slogans of the students when they ran in the morning, but today, he hurried by, and then returned to the Chen family's mansion in Erpigou, found a female official, and muttered a few words in a low voice.

The female official had a very good impression of the third uncle, who always stared at them with a strange smile, and took out money at every turn to let them buy new clothes.

Of course, most of the eunuchs who were praised by the prince and the marquis of Wandai had to twitch their faces, and they were not elated until the third uncle took out the money.

The female officer hurriedly entered the bedroom, and immediately saw Chen Zhengtai and his clothes coming out.

The third uncle said: "On such a cold day, I don't wear one more shirt, Zhengtai ......" He had a straight face and looked serious: "There is something strange about Fuyu ginseng." ”

"What's weird?" Chen Zhengtai looked at the third uncle strangely.

The third uncle looked at Chen Zhengtai and said, "These Buyeo ginseng are all real, and they are still purchased in large quantities, of course...... And that's not all. ”

………………

The second watch is too late, and I'm guilty.
