Li An was waiting for Nan Jiyun and the officials sent by the imperial court, and took out the topographic map of Xijiao that his subordinates had just drawn some time ago, and carefully observed it. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

This topographic map of Xijiao was manually changed by Li An in many places, and the location of the change is the place that needs to be built.

Although he is about to leave Xijiao, the development here seems to have nothing to do with him, but Li An is a very responsible person, since he has a plan for the development of Xijiao in his heart, he must say it, so that the officials who stay here can seriously implement it.

In Li An's planning, the most important first step of the work, of course, is to build the road, Xijiao is located in the rugged terrain of the mountain, many mountains and water, the road is rugged and difficult to travel is the terrain characteristics here, from Luzhou to Nanning Road, many sections of the road can only lead the horse on foot, the vehicle can not pass normally at all, can only temporarily unload, and use manpower to push the car over, and then carry the goods over, reload the car for transportation, so, it is bound to greatly reduce the efficiency of transportation, increase the cost of transportation.

In order for a region to develop, smooth roads are indispensable, and only when roads are clear can all kinds of goods and people be able to flow frequently, thereby promoting economic development, and making this indeed more and more prosperous.

To put it simply, transportation is the basis of prosperity, if a large number of fruits are harvested in a certain place, but the road is not passable, then these fruits can only rot in the ground, because they cannot be effectively transported out, and even if they are effectively transported out, but because the transportation process is too difficult, the cost will inevitably increase greatly, so that the original very cheap fruit, to the place where it is needed, it will become sky-high, and the price is too high, how can ordinary people eat.

In short, the traffic is not smooth, all parties are at a loss, there is no enthusiasm for farming, only enough to eat for themselves, because more can only rot in the ground, or sold to hawkers at a very low price, hawkers are also very painful, although, they can earn the difference, but the process of transportation is too difficult, in case the road is washed down by heavy rain, then the goods they buy may be rotten because of the delay in time, so it will not be a loss, the goods have finally arrived in the hands of the buyer, but because of the hardships of the transportation process and the price is extremely high, Buyers also have to spend a lot of money to get these goods.

Once the road becomes a smooth road, it can be effectively opened to traffic throughout the whole process, and all these problems can be easily solved.

The whole road is open to traffic, which means more transportation volume and shorter transportation time, so that the transportation cost of hawkers will be greatly reduced, the freshness of the goods is more guaranteed, and the people who buy goods can also buy cheaper goods, and the demand for goods will inevitably increase greatly.

In this way, businessmen will be more active in purchasing goods, and the people who farm the land, seeing that someone pays money to buy products at their doorstep, no longer have to worry about a variety of products will rot in the ground, they will be more active in planting, so as to expand production capacity and make themselves earn more wealth.

Although all wealth is created by working people, the way to stimulate working people to create wealth is indeed commerce and trade, and only the prosperity of commerce and trade can stimulate the common people to create more actively.

The better the traffic, the more convenient the circulation and the lower the transportation cost, so the repair of roads is very important to the prosperity of the West.

Repairing roads is the premise of everything, and only by repairing the roads first, so that goods can circulate more conveniently and quickly, can we take the next step, that is, to develop the characteristic industries of land planning.

Due to the special climate and soil conditions, there are many cash crops that can only be produced here, and in this way, these products have great competitiveness, and after the transportation problem is solved, large-scale planting can be carried out to expand production capacity.

Li An believes that as long as the people here can expand the scale of planting special products and use the newly repaired roads to transport them, it will inevitably bring great wealth and income to the people here, and once the people have money, they will definitely be able to buy products from other places and use the newly built roads.

In this way, the land will form a new commercial center, and connect with Yizhou, Jiaozhou, Jiangnan, and Central Plains, these commercial centers, promote each other, prosper each other, and then provide new economic growth points for the Tang Dynasty, so that the Tang Empire will become more prosperous and powerful.

Of course, with the smooth flow of roads, the vigorous development of characteristic agriculture, and the gradual rise of the mining industry, the land will inevitably stimulate a large number of tertiary industries, and when the time comes, high-end restaurants, inns, and high-grade green buildings will appear in the original land of Xijiao, improve the quality of life of the people here, promote employment, and then make this a more prosperous place, and completely get rid of the hat of barbarian land.

And one day, if Xijiao is really as prosperous as Ang Lee's plan, it will inevitably make the southern barbarians have a feeling of 'hating for the Tang people' and try to smuggle them to Xijiao, so as to provide a steady stream of productivity for Xijiao and further promote prosperity, and even, because of the exchanges between the southern barbarians and the Tang Dynasty, they admire the culture and prosperity of the Tang Dynasty and consciously join the big family of Datang, so that the land of Datang will unconsciously expand in a farther direction, and let Chinese civilization expand to a more distant land.

The return of the world to Tang is Ang Lee's highest goal, and he will continue to work hard for this goal.

"General, you're looking for us."

Just when Li An fell into the future prosperity of the land, Nan Jiyun walked in gently with several officials sent by the imperial court.

These officials sent by the imperial court, all of whom were powerless and powerless, were demoted to Xijiao, and some of them were doing well near the capital, and suddenly received an order from the imperial court to immediately go to Xijiao as officials, and their original official positions were taken over by backup officials, and most of these successor officials were closely related to Li Linfu.

It is precisely because they are not reused by the imperial court that these officials are more or less frustrated and frustrated in their hearts, they are not here with the construction of the West, they are with the mood of being assigned, and with such a mentality, how can they do a good job?

And what Li An has to do now is to cheer up these officials and make them understand that letting them come to Xijiao is not to dethrone them, because Xijiao is about to carry out a large-scale construction, and with the construction, Xijiao will inevitably become more and more prosperous and rich. With their political achievements, are these officials still afraid that they will not be promoted?

These officials who did not have a backstage all bowed their heads and saluted Li An respectfully, without the slightest arrogance, after all, they still admired and respected this young man very much.

Li An was not in a hurry to tell his huge plan, first looked at these officials who were not in good spirits, and said straightforwardly: "Everyone, I know that you don't have a good impression of the planing land, and I feel that if I enter the planing land as an official, I have been deposed by the imperial court, and I will not have any future in the future, I am right!" ”

Several officials bowed their heads, which could be regarded as acquiescence.

Li An smiled and said: "I know you think so, of course, all the officials who were sent by the imperial court to the land may feel that they have been degraded, and they all have a resentment in their hearts, but I want to tell you that coming to the land is not degraded, but a good opportunity, because the court already knows the importance of this place, and promised the large-scale construction plan that will be proposed, that is to say, in a few years, the environment here will be turned upside down, and in the future, the land will not be worse than the Central Plains. It's even better than the Central Plains, as long as you work hard, you will definitely be able to. ”

"Dare to ask General Li, how to build the planing land? Does the imperial court have a specific plan? ”

An officer asked cautiously.

Li An pointed to the map in front of him, and said: "The imperial court's understanding of the land is far less than that of the general, this plan was formulated by the general, not the imperial court, but the general has won enough financial resources for the land, within three years, all the output of a big gold mine in Luzhou will be transported to the land of the west, as long as the pillars of the Tang Dynasty are willing to go all out to implement this plan, you can be foolproof." ”

"Shall I listen to the general's plan? Please give me the general's instructions. ”

All the officials believed in Ang Lee, and couldn't wait to know Ang Lee's specific plan.

Li An pointed to the map and said: "This is Nanning, this is Queensland, and there are also beneficial states, Jiaozhou, and Luzhou, the roads between these cities are a big problem, there are no good roads, people outside are not good to come in, people inside are not easy to go out, business can not develop, this is also the fundamental reason for the poverty and backwardness of the land, therefore, the first step of the plan is to build roads, starting from Nanning Prefecture, build five roads, the first one leads to Queensland in the west, this road is the shortest, and it is best to repair, the second is to Luzhou in the northeast, The third is to the northwest of Yizhou, the fourth is to the southeast of Jiaozhou, the fifth is to the east of the east, of course, these five roads originally existed, but too rugged and difficult, some of the road conditions are better road sections naturally do not need to ask, and those road sections are very treacherous, it must be repaired and expanded, to ensure that these treacherous road sections are built into a good road that can pass carriages, this is the minimum requirement, must be completed, otherwise the prosperity of the land will not be able to talk about. ”

"General, these five roads, we know the most is the one from Yizhou to Nanning Prefecture, only this road, there are dozens of impassable sections of the road for carriages and horses, and the distance is not short, if you want to repair enough to pass the carriage, it must take a lot of labor, the situation of the other four roads, presumably not better there, the demand for labor is huge, only rely on the people of the land of the West, I am afraid that it will take many years to complete, and there is no way to build roads, and there are not people who can be proficient in road repair, these land planing, I'm afraid that building roads is not as easy as I thought. ”

An official said cautiously.

Li An nodded and said: "Of course it's not easy, if it can be done easily, the land is not what it is now, don't worry if you don't have enough labor, Ben Jiang has already written to the imperial court, asking all the exiled sinners to be sent to the land in the past few years to increase labor, in addition, the talents who build the road can be recruited with high salaries, no matter how difficult it is, these five main roads must be repaired with all their might, without these roads, the land will always be backward and poor, and you will always be here, there is no possibility of promotion." ”

"Since the general has thought so thoroughly, we are willing to follow the general's plan, but after this road is completed, what will we do next?"

After all, building roads can only improve transportation, and improving transportation itself does not produce any wealth, but must have a physical industry to generate wealth, so that the land can become more and more rich and prosperous.

Li An pointed to the map in front of him, introduced all the characteristics of each place in the planing area, and told these officials which places are suitable for planting what, which places are suitable for breeding, and which places have mineral resources and are suitable for mining.

After listening to Ang Lee's visionary plan, all the officials were very recognized, they originally thought that they had come to the planing land to be a mess, but after listening to Ang Lee's overall plan, they were all full of energy, feeling that they were still valuable, and that they still had a future, rather than being abandoned by the imperial court.

Looking at the passionate officials, Li An smiled with satisfaction, if you want to realize your huge plan, it is very important to convince the officials in the plan, and Li An's huge plan does not harm these frustrated officials, but makes these officials full of pride, so how can these officials not support Li An? How can you not do your best to realize the huge plan that could lead to your promotion?

"Nan Jiyun, although this matter seems to have nothing to do with you on the surface, and you don't need to do anything, but the premise of this huge plan is that the land must be safe and stable, there can be no internal turmoil, and there can be no foreign invasion and destruction of the construction here, safety and security is your greatest responsibility, you have to do your best to maintain the safety of the land, so that they can plan and build the land without distractions, understand?"

Li An looked at Nan Jiyun and spoke.

Nan Jiyun patted his chest and said: "With me Nan Jiyun here, there will be no chaos in the plan, the general can just rest assured." ”

"Okay, with you, let the elite of the Tang Empire be in charge of the land planing, I'm very relieved, okay, you go back as soon as possible, think about the plan proposed by Ben Jiang, if there is anything you don't understand and feel unreasonable, get in touch with Ben as soon as possible, Ben will solve your doubts."

Ang Lee said.

"Yes, General."

Nan Jiyun left with all the officials in turn.

From the backs of these officials leaving, Li An could judge that these people were in a very good mood when they left, much better than when they came, after all, they were finally useful, and they could finally show their strength. (To be continued.) )
