Chapter Eighty-Seven: Chicken Ribs?

A long picture scroll, displayed in front of Yu Wenwen, is painted with dense line diagrams, the main stem is a straight line, and the boxes are equally spaced on the straight line, and then branches are derived from the boxes. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

The name of the station is written in the box, and the branch derived from the box is a note, indicating the situation of the corresponding station.

Some of these stations already existed, some of them were newly built, some of them needed to be changed because their addresses were not suitable, and some of them were new stations added in some rough sections of the road in order to shorten the distance between the two stations so that passers-by could stay overnight.

From Jiangzhou Nanchang to the northern foot of the Great Yuling, there are Ganshui and its tributaries can be borrowed, but from the north to the south is to go upstream, if you want to sail, in some dangerous river sections need to be pulled by the slender boat, and some sections of the river are too low in the dry season, and also need the slender boat to help cross the shallows.

Therefore, in some sections of the river, it is necessary to set up water posts, so that slender men have a place to live, so that ships have a place to repair, and there is also a place for passing merchants and officials to stay.

In the same way, starting from Panyu in Guangzhou to the north, even if you don't take the waterway at the beginning, but when you get to the Zhenyang Gorge area, because there are thousands of walls on both sides of the Qinshui River, you have to take the waterway to trace the water and go up to Zhenyang to Qujiang.

This section of the waterway is abundant even during the dry season, and a large number of boatmen are needed to row boats without the need for slender men, so it is necessary to set up water stations appropriately to facilitate the solution of various problems.

Jiangzhou and Lingbiao originally belonged to Chen Guo's rule, and there were post roads between the north and south of the Dayu Mountains, but for various reasons, they could only ensure the needs of the government's post envoys, materials, and troops, and it was not convenient for the common people.

Since Yu Wenwen led the troops into Jiangzhou, he has been paying attention to the situation of this post road, first of all, to ensure military security, to have an understanding of the terrain along the way, and secondly, to ensure the grain road, so that the grain, grass, and baggage gathered in Nanchang City can be transported to the ridge unimpeded to support the official army.

Finally, with an eye on the establishment of the government's jurisdiction over the Lingbiao area after the war, a well-developed post road that could ensure the circulation of mail and goods was one of the signs that a government could effectively exercise jurisdiction over the area.

At the same time, it is also a necessary means to control the areas along the way, which is a great achievement for Yu Wenwen, who supervised the military of Lingnan.

"This kind of political achievement, it's useless to have too many outnumbered people, so... Just add your names. ”

"King, what do you think about this matter?"

"Cui Changshi must be signed, what about you, what do you want to do? Pretentious? What does this leave for others? It's not for nothing, there are so many power assassins and county guards along the line, and it took a lot of effort to renovate this post road, don't you consider their feelings? ”

Facing Yu Wenwen's criticism, Yang Ji smiled bitterly and shook his head, of course he didn't mean that, after all, what the other party said was the truth, but the actual repair of the post road was completed in a few months, and Yu Wenwen had the greatest credit.

Since the other party wants to let the names of the relevant officials appear on the recital, it is certainly a good thing for everyone to be happy.

"This picture is still a little scribbled, and the widow has asked people to redraw a delicate schematic diagram in the same way, and play it with the music chapter to the court, so that the court can see the results of everyone's efforts, and save someone muttering."

"Your Majesty, is there any news from the court? Something about Lin Yi Kingdom. ”

"How can it be so fast, the previous nursery rhyme, to our hands so fast is because there are flying pigeons to pass the book, and that day to now is only a few days, the court really has news coming, the post envoy all the way to the south, at this time I am afraid that it has not yet arrived at the mouth, what are you anxious about?"

Yu Wenwen slowly put away the scroll and put it aside, and then ate the lychees on the plate, which is the ripening season of lychees, so the people in the ridge can feast on them.

It is said that eating too many lychees will cause fire, but Yuwenwen is not afraid, because there is herbal tea with a good effect on fire, so he is as fearless as many people, after all, once he leaves Lingbiao, it is unknown when he will be able to eat lychees again in the future.

"Eat 300 lychees a day, and be a Lingnan person, but Lingnan is a miasma in the eyes of many people, and there are very few people who are willing to move their families south to settle in Lingbiao, and the population is insufficient to develop slowly, and the miasma is difficult to eliminate, and it is still a place of exile."

Yu Wenwen sighed, now is not a formal occasion, so Yang Ji is also eating lychees, the two chatted while eating, and there was no taboo in the use of words, after all, the poems that the two sometimes said did not exist in this era.

The development of Lingnan (Lingbiao) was completed after the Tang and Song dynasties, since the Anshi Rebellion, the situation in the Central Plains gradually became chaotic, to the five dynasties and ten countries, many people took their families to Fujian or entered Lingnan for refuge, with more and more people settling down, the two places ushered in a new wave of development at this time.

But even so, Lingnan is still a place of smoke miasma, so in the Song Dynasty, Lingnan was still the first choice for exiled officials, after the Jingkang disaster, the Song court favored Jiangnan, and promoted the re-development of Jiangnan, and at this time more people entered Lingbiao.

From the Sui and Tang dynasties to the fall of the Southern Song Dynasty, more than 600 years of continuous development, Lingbiao gradually got rid of the notoriety of the land of smoke and exile, to the Ming Dynasty, Guangdong Chengxuan political envoy under the jurisdiction of Guangzhou Mansion, Zhaoqing Mansion, Shaozhou Mansion and other places, is already densely populated, economically developed place.

Even if Yu Wenwen had ideas, it was impossible to develop Lingnan to the extent of the late Southern Song Dynasty in his lifetime, let alone the development of the Ming Dynasty, but he had his own plan, that is, at least to ensure that the road between Lingnan and the Central Plains was smooth.

In addition, at least the land post roads must be kept unobstructed to ensure the effective jurisdiction of the Central Plains Imperial Court over the Lingnan region, and in the event of a large-scale rebellion, the official army can immediately move south into Lingnan to quell the rebellion.

And the act of dredging the post road is also a public and private convenience, because this post road will be a new lifeline for merchants in Huangzhou, Jiangzhou and Shannan.

Yu Wenwen captured Jiangzhou and Lingnan, and as the commander of the expedition, he had the power to appoint acting magistrates to maintain local order, not to mention that he already had the title of "Governor of Lingnan Military", so the act of appointing acting magistrates was justified.

However, these power assassin histories and power county guards have to be recognized by the imperial court, and if they have political achievements or outstanding performance when acting for state affairs and county affairs, the probability of becoming a regular is very great.

This is also one of the reasons why Yuwenwen mobilized manpower and material resources to repair the post road while using troops to fight, that is, to give everyone the opportunity to make political achievements to facilitate the "regularization".

In addition to restoring order, organizing agricultural affairs, and protecting the territory and the people, they also organized people to repair post roads and post stations during the agricultural slack, and under the unified dispatch, progress was very fast.

So now, the post road from Nanchang, Jiangzhou to Panyu, Guangzhou has been renewed, and the Da Yuling Road has been rebuilt, which is convenient for large-scale material transfer, which is the result of the concerted efforts of the officials and people along the line, and the role of businessmen is also indispensable.

The merchants of Huangzhou followed the official army all the way south, and as the war progressed smoothly, the caravan also began to be active, and the trade route between Xiyang and Panyu, the caravan composed of darts has been back and forth several times, for the establishment of the post station, from the perspective of cost, summed up an extremely reliable opinion.

After being shocked by the head of people outside Nanchang, whether they were convinced or not, they had already surrendered to the new imperial court, and their strength was borrowed by Yuwenwen, providing a lot of manpower and material resources for the repair of the post road.

This kind of support is now about to be richly rewarded, and the big clans from all over Jiangzhou participate in the trading of sea salt, rare treasures and other treasures from Lingnan, which can be regarded as a thank you gift from Yuwenwen, of course, this depends on the size of each family's contribution before.

For various reasons, Yuwenwen's territory has been limited to Huangzhou, a place that is not up or down, and was later regarded as an obstacle and arranged to attack Lingnan, but this is an excellent opportunity for Yuwenwen.

What is a miasma in the eyes of others is a golden treasure land for Yuwen Wen to open up the situation.

"Sooner or later, the widow will have to be a teacher, and the imperial court should recognize you as the governor of Guangzhou, if that is the case, complete the dredging of the Xijing Ancient Road before leaving office, and then the traffic between northern Guangdong and southern Hunan will be improved as well as the traffic between northern Guangdong and southern Jiangnan."

Yu Wenwen wiped his hands and drank the herbal tea: "It won't take many years, and the widow will let everyone know that Lingnan is not a chicken rib!" ”
