"What if you bring so many ordinary people, not only do you have to consume a lot of energy on them, but at the same time you raise the appetite of the soldiers?"

"If I lose my combat effectiveness because of this, it will be even more disadvantageous to my big man."

The main purpose is not to raise soldiers too well.

In case everyone is addicted to food and can't extricate themselves, then how can they go to the battlefield at that time?

I have to say that Tang Qi's worries are also quite reasonable.

Even Gongsun Hong, who initially made the suggestion, is now obediently shut.

The other civil and military officials looked at each other, and it was difficult to say anything.

Obviously, they were all persuaded by Tang Qi's words.

The army, after all, is there to fight.

Perennial training, in addition to training their combat strength, is to exercise a strong physique, in order to be able to adapt to all kinds of cruel environments.

But if you blindly let them be comfortable, it is not a good thing for the army.

It's as if they're obsessed with the food in front of them right now.

In case those soldiers are also obsessed with food, so they waste their combat power and lose the sense of urgency on the battlefield.

How can such an army, when facing the enemy, exert the momentum that a tiger and wolf army should have?

Military food, after all, is not a blind pursuit of good and good, as long as it can fill the soldiers' stomachs and neutralize the taste, it is fine.

As for the rest, you can't ask for much.

Not to mention the unreliable thing as carrying a cook with you.

Although Liu Che didn't say anything, he said: "Sir, I look at the land under my feet, it seems to be very strange." ”

Yes, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty seemed to have acquiesced and directly changed the topic.

Tang Qi smiled, and also took the opportunity to answer: "Your Majesty, this is a cement road." ”

"Concrete road?"

"Uh-huh......"

In the past, Tangjiazhuang was quite backward, and there were stone roads in the village, with potholes everywhere, and whenever it rained, the silt was mixed with stagnant water, which made it muddy everywhere, and there was no way to walk at all.

When Tang Qi carried out the renovation, he transformed it into a cement pavement by the way.

However, because cement is very troublesome to manufacture, it will not be possible to get so much for a while.

Therefore, the coverage area of the cement road is only Tangjiazhuang.

Out of Tangjiazhuang, it's still that kind of stone road.

Wei Qing's eyes lit up and said: "The cement road is indeed a good thing, the ground is smooth and flat, if the world is paved with cement roads, then if it is used to transport materials, the speed is definitely much faster than now." ”

"The requirements for horses will also be much lower."

"Having said that, but this kind of cement road goes straight ahead, if one side is from the east and the other side is from the west, then after the encounter, won't it collide? Neither side can move forward? ”

One officer stepped forward to find the loophole.

Others also feel justified.

In Tangjiazhuang, although the cement road has been paved, it is difficult for horses to enter.

That's a flaw!

However, Wei Qing said with a look of disdain: "Since I dare to bring up this matter, I naturally have a plan." ”

"Isn't it just a concrete road, we can design two, one to the east and one to the west."

This......

It's one of the ways to solve the problem.

Many people nodded secretly, feeling justified.

Even Liu Che thinks it is very feasible.

The benefits of the cement road naturally do not need to be explained too much, and the benefits of horses walking on it are too many.

In the past, I could only travel thousands of miles a day, but now I may be able to travel 2,000 miles a day, 3,000 miles a day, and I don't have to worry about crossing mountains and mountains and walking those potholed dirt and stone roads.

"What do you think, sir? Think it's feasible? ”

Of course, Liu Che still asked Tang Qi's opinion.

However, Tang Qi looked at Wei Qing with some surprise.

"I didn't expect you to be so smart?"

"Huh?"

was suddenly praised by Tang Qi, Wei Qing didn't know why, so he looked a little dazed and surprised.

He didn't know that in fact, his concept was very advanced.

Even if it's Tang Qi, you have to give him a thumbs up and praise his talent!

In later generations, roads were generally designed this way.

The corresponding directions, separated by each other.

Even the highways, and the roads in the city, are designed this way.

Especially at those three-way intersections, red street lights are also installed.

Along with it are various traffic laws.

If Wei Qing can even imagine this, then he is really powerful.

It's worth living on a desert island with yourself for so long.

This idea is much more powerful than the average ancient!

However, this is easy to say, but it is extremely difficult to operate.

Not to mention anything else, I am afraid that none of the people present have calculated how much manpower and material resources are needed to build cement roads all over the Han Dynasty......

And, exactly how much time it will take, this is also an incalculable number.

In order to build a highway in later generations, even if various modern technologies were used, it would take up to a year and a half, and it would take decades or hundreds of years to spread it to the whole country.

If the Han Dynasty starts to build it from now, it is basically unrealistic.

"If it's about transporting supplies, it's actually better to use waterways."

Sima Qian's father, Sima Tan, suggested: "The best thing now is water transportation, which is much more convenient than building cement roads, and in terms of transportation capacity, it will not be too bad." ”

"Of course, digging up a river is also an extremely costly thing."

"It's hard to calculate the amount of time it takes."

"It's just to dig the river."

Donch interjected.

Then he pointed to the river in the distance and said: "I have already dug one in Tangjiazhuang, which is used to transport supplies." ”

"That's why I said it because I saw the river."

Sima Tan said modestly: "An Dinghou seems to have thought of everything. ”

Tang Qi smiled.

Judging from the current situation of Dahan, it is indeed one of the best ways to open up a large number of rivers to strengthen transportation capacity.

It can be carried out simultaneously with the construction of cement roads.

For example, where there is water, you can use water transportation, but if there is no water, you can use land transportation, and these things are also possible.

Moreover, digging a river is much easier than building a concrete road.

Although it also consumes a lot of manpower and material resources, it also has to lose a lot of time.

However, this matter is simple and crude, as long as a large number of migrant workers are dispatched and a shovel is issued to them, they can start directly.

Chatting and chatting, it was late at night.

Some people feel tired and go back early to rest.

There are many private houses, which are enough for these officials, and as for the people who come to visit Tangjiazhuang, Tang Qi also tries to arrange them all properly.

As for those who don't want to go to bed yet, then they can continue to participate in the next bonfire.
