Because I arrived early, the other seats were almost empty. After talking to the shopkeeper, Montenegro immediately jumped on the stage in the middle and said to his subordinates: "Let's sing a few songs first!" It's up to you to save money on wine today! ”

"Good!" All the subordinates immediately became excited! Montenegro led everyone to sing "Men Should Be Self-Reliant", and the loud chorus immediately floated out of the window.

The people nearby heard the long-lost song and immediately rushed into the salted fish house, for fear that there would be no place if they were too late!

When the shopkeeper heard this, he was immediately excited, he had already heard that every time a group of people came here to sing, the hotel would be popular for a while! It's just that after I put it down, I never touched it again! Knowing that it was the God of Wealth who came to the door today, he immediately ordered the maids to receive him warmly, and ran into the kitchen in person, instructing the cooks to hurry up and prepare enough meals!

Just sang two songs, and Salted Fish was full except for a small number of positions that had been set a long time ago! Those who came from behind had to add seats in the corridor aisle! Montenegro asked his subordinates to take turns on stage to lead the singing! These songs were popular in Xianyang as early as before, and diners also joined in the chorus! Soon the atmosphere reached its climax!

The singing continued until the third watch, and the shopkeeper came to tell Montenegro: "A thousand servings of fine dishes have been sold, medium dishes have been sold out, more than 900 jars of wine have been sold, and the turnover has reached 700 gold!" ”

"Looks like we'll need to prepare a little more tomorrow night! We'll settle together in three days! Montenegro said to the shopkeeper, walked up to the stage, and told everyone, saying: "Tonight, we will withdraw first, and we will come back tomorrow night, and we will book a place to find the shopkeeper!" ”

While the diners were looking for the shopkeeper to reserve a place, Montenegro took everyone out of the salted fish house and went back! As soon as I walked not far, I found that someone was following behind, and Montenegro didn't want outsiders to know about singing and drinking in Salted Fish House, so he asked everyone to go separately! Seeing that there were still people following him, he was thinking about how to shake it off, and when he saw a group of lieutenant soldiers patrolling, he met him and whispered to the commander who led the team: "You pretend to check us first, and then check the tail behind us, don't let him follow us, remember to ask who sent us to follow us!" ”

The soldiers understood, pretended to check, and let a few Montenegro go, stopping the people behind to ask seriously!

Flick off your tail and just get back to the house! The patrol chief came to report: "The person who is following is a guy from Salted Fish House, because he can't tell the purpose of going to the street in the middle of the night, and he has brought it back to the lieutenant's mansion for inquiry." What's next? ”

"Got it, let him go!" Montenegro said.

In the evening of the next day, Montenegro and others came to Salted Fish House early. As soon as he sat down, the shopkeeper greeted him with a smile on his face!

"Shopkeeper Huai, you dare to send someone to follow me? What's the purpose? Say! Black Mountain's face was not good-looking, and he asked coldly.

"Guest officer, I'm really sorry! I have no ill will! The shopkeeper wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and said: "A year ago, there was a guest who claimed to admire you very much and wanted to learn to sing with you, and sent someone to inquire about your news every day, I was really moved by his patience, so I promised him that as long as you came again, I would tell him." It's been almost two years, and you've only come, so I want to inquire and tell him! But his wish, there is no malice! Wrath of sin! ”

"In that case! I don't care about it, but there can't be a next time, remember that we are just ordinary customers of Salted Fish House! You tell him that if you want to learn songs, fate is hard to find! Montenegro said.

"Got it! There will be no next time! The shopkeeper let out a long sigh of relief.

The second night was even hotter than the first, and when I went back, there was no one to follow!

On the third night, Montenegro personally took the stage to teach the diners to sing a new song "Song of a Good Man", which pushed the atmosphere to a new climax!

When the third watch was approaching, the shopkeeper brought a bag of gold and said to Montenegro: "Here are three hundred and fifty gold, which is the profit that can be obtained after deducting the wine money of four hundred and fifty gold for three days!" I hope that we can cooperate for a long time in the future, you can come often, and the wine is fully encouraged! ”

"In the past three days, the guys and maids in the store are tired enough! You can divide the more than 300 gold equally! If we have fate, we will come back! Montenegro did not take the gold, and said: "We have been eating and drinking for nothing for three days, but we don't want to take money for nothing!" Farewell! ”

A few days later, Montenegro sent off more than 20 of his men who had been transferred. They are all men who shed blood and do not shed tears on the battlefield, but they all burst into tears on this day!

After the spring ploughing ceremony, the plank road from Guanzhong to Ba and Shu presided over by Zheng Guo has been repaired! The king of Qin was overjoyed and ordered to take the plank road south to patrol the two counties of Ba and Shu half a month later. Two years ago, when the King of Qin decided to destroy the Zhao State, he planned to recruit 200,000 people from Shu Han to transport the grain of Shu Han to Sanchuan County, and later used Montenegro's suggestion to find merchants to transport the rice of Shu Han to Chu by ship, and exchanged grain for grain to save 200,000 people's strength, so the King of Qin recruited 200,000 people from Shu Han and dug this plank road in two years. King Qin's escort task on the patrol road fell to Montenegro again! Montenegro first sent 10,000 lieutenant troops, led by Brother Ahei and Mi Long, to inspect and be on guard along the patrol route!

The day of the southern tour is approaching, and I am ready to accompany myself! Mother knew that Montenegro was going to travel far away, so she prepared a lot of things for Zhang Jin to take with her! He also told Montenegro thousands of times: "Take care of yourself, I asked someone to get a prescription from the imperial doctor to grab the medicine, and explain to Zhang Jin, you remember to take the medicine on time!" After speaking, he asked the maid to bring a bowl of medicine and asked Montenegro to drink it in person!

Montenegro was confused and asked his mother: "Grandma, your son and I are not sick or sick, his body is great, what kind of medicine do you take?" ”

"You stinky boy, you have to hide it from your mother? Zhang Jin told me early, remember to take medicine on time! Otherwise, Grandma won't be able to spare you! The mother was distressed and angry, and scolded.

"Good! I drink it, and I will definitely drink the medicine on time in the future! You can rest assured! Black Mountain perfunctory his mother in his mouth, scolded Zhang Jin several times in his heart, tilted his neck, and drank a large bowl of bitter and smelly Chinese medicine.

After his mother left, Montenegro called Zhang Jin, twisted his ears, and asked, "What did you kid talk about me nonsense in front of my mother?" Tell me honestly, otherwise the big board will reward you, believe it? ”

"Oops! Let go, it hurts! Zhang Jin screamed in pain and said: "You told me to say it, you let go first, according to the generation, I am still your uncle!" Uncle is about to tell you! ”

"Say!" Montenegro said fiercely: "Dare to talk nonsense, watch me clean you up!" ”

"A few days ago, your mother suddenly called me and asked me if you have a sweetheart? Why don't you marry a daughter-in-law at the age of nineteen? Zhang Jin stroked his ears and replied: "I suddenly remembered the task you gave me, and as soon as I had an idea, I lied to your mother and said that you don't have a sweetheart now, and you don't look for a daughter-in-law because you were injured a little during the war in that place, but the military doctor said that the problem is not big, and you can recover after two or three years of recuperation!" I didn't expect that there were a few outsiders in your mother's house! They heard it, too. But it worked well, and no one has come to your mother in the last few days! Your mother won't force you anymore! You haven't thanked me yet! ”

"You can also spread such a panic, I will hit you with a hundred boards first, thank you!" Montenegro was so angry that he screwed Zhang Jin's ears again!

"If you let go, if you don't let go, I'll tell your mother the truth right away!" Zhang Jin shouted.

Montenegro thought about it and had already lied. Besides, he had to face his mother's annoying forced marriage, so he let Zhang Jin go and said, "I let you go today, those medicines, and you will drink them for me in the future!" ”

On February 15, the 19th year of the reign of King Qin, King Qin's southern tour route started from Xianyang, entered the Qinling Mountains through Wugong County (now Zhouzhi County), and went south along the newly repaired Shimen Plank Road, and went directly to Hanzhong Gu County (now Yangxian County). The total plank road is about 500 miles long.

As soon as he stepped on the brand-new plank road built in the lofty mountains, Montenegro was deeply shocked by the danger, strangeness and majesty of the plank road. The plank road makes a row of one-foot-diameter stone holes between the cliffs, inserts one-foot-thick wood, erects a wooden bridge on the horizontal wood, and supplements it with two-inch thick wooden planks, and the roadside is made of bowl-thick wood railings, and the road is more than three steps wide (about 4.2 meters), and there are pavilions built every twenty miles, which can be used by pedestrians to rest and avoid the rain. The winding plank road, sometimes the foot is the abyss, sometimes it hangs on the bank of the rushing river, and the foot is the roaring river, which is deafening! Sometimes it spirals upwards in a zigzag pattern. The timid ones trembled when they walked on it. Sometimes you hear tigers howling and wolves howling, and sometimes monkeys running through the trees, it is simply a museum of nature.

Xiaoxing overnight, two days later to the zigzag winding mountain road, here can only abandon the car to ride a horse, the horse on horseback, the whole person is higher than the railing on the side of the plank road, you can directly see the abbot cliff below, if you accidentally fall down is broken bones, there are many places where the slope is steeper, you can only lead the horse to walk. After six days, I finally walked the plank road and came to the boundary of Guxian County, Hanzhong County. At the end of the plank road is the Han River, which is only 30 steps wide and has a very strong current, and there is a large bamboo forest on the opposite side of the Han River.

"Look, everyone, there are a lot of black and white bears on the other side." I don't know who shouted.

When Montenegro heard this, he also looked to the other side, and saw the two giant pandas on the opposite side were chubby, round, very cute, and eating bamboo shoots as if nothing had happened. The two red pandas look even more cute, and the stuffy ones are wrestling together!

Qin has a very strict wildlife protection law, you can't hunt in spring, and black and white bears are strictly forbidden to hunt animals! The main reason is that black and white bears never take the initiative to attack humans and do not destroy crops! And since ancient times, it has been regarded as a mythical beast, and has always been regarded as an auspicious animal! King Qin was also in a happy mood when he saw the black and white bear! Let the accompanying painter paint on the cloth on the spot!

A group of people and horses, after seeing the black and white bears, followed the mountain road to a dangerous place, a tall stone mountain, as if using a sword to split a crack from top to bottom, the narrowest place can only allow one horse to move forward, people walk in it, look up, people feel overwhelmed by the mountains on both sides! In the middle of the crack, only a little light leaked in broad daylight, and the cry of a beast could be heard in the distance, which was really eerie.

Fortunately, the crack is not very far, and it came out in half an hour! King Qin was full of interest, and when he was resting, he wrote down the word "Jianmen" and said: "In the future, this place will be called Jianmen, and I will engrave these two words on the stones at both ends when I turn around!" Build a pavilion here for people to rest! ”

Everyone praised the word Jianmen for doing well! Out of the Sword Gate is a mile-long downhill staircase made entirely of stone.

The scout came to report, five miles down the slope is the avenue, and the civil and military officials of the two counties of Ba and Shu have already greeted Wang Jia on the main road! Everyone finally breathed a sigh of relief!

King Qin inspected water conservancy, roads, and the large-scale planting of corn that had just come in this year in Ba and Shu! Due to the huge wealth brought to Qin last year and countless military rations, this year's corn planting has been fully promoted in 20 counties of Qin State, except for a few southern counties. The application of waterwheels is also fully popularized in Qin! A workshop of more than 3,000 people was built on the side of Dujiangyan to produce waterwheels for the two counties of Bashu! It not only irrigates countless farmlands, but also builds waterwheels in various townships to grind rice and noodles for the people. Ba and Shu counties are vibrant!

In mid-March, King Qin inspected Dujiangyan, accompanied by Li Erlang, the second son of Li Bing, and visited the three major parts of the Yuzui Diversion Embankment, the Feishayan Spillway, the Baohuakou Water Inlet, and the Baizhang Embankment and the Herringbone Embankment. Li Erlang introduced in detail how to scientifically solve the automatic diversion of river water (46 water separation of Yuzui dike water), automatic sand discharge (28 separation of sand of Yuzui dike dike), control of water inflow (Baohuakou and Feisha weir), and eliminate flood hazards. In the 21 years since the construction of Dujiangyan, the irrigation area has reached 9 million mu of fertile land in more than 30 counties, and there is no drought or flood disaster in Shu County, and there is a bumper harvest every year. King Qin was greatly moved, and immediately ordered the expansion of Li Bing Temple, which was sacrificed by the government every year! Li Erlang was also promoted to a third-level knight!
