……

South Den.

"Father! The son-in-law has already written the preparation for the war against Hungary, and I invite my father to look at it!" Fusu handed over four bundles of bamboo slips to the First Emperor.

The First Emperor nodded, and looked at them one by one, which saw the excitement, not only nodded frequently, but after half an hour, the First Emperor finally finished reading, and smiled with satisfaction: "The writing is very detailed, and it is feasible!" Wang'er, you recommended Li Xin to train cavalry, Meng Tian to build the Great Wall, and Xiao He Renzhi Li Neishi to raise money and food is also very much in line with my heart, but who is in charge of the road? The path you are talking about, including straight and galloping, is more rigorous and expansive than I had previously envisioned, but if you don't choose anyone, I'm afraid it will be difficult to implement!"

Fusu also frowned and said: "The candidates in other aspects are easy to handle, but the person in charge of road construction is more difficult to handle, because Erchen does not understand the science of road construction, and he has not been involved in this before, so he can't think of a suitable candidate!" It's better for Father Wang Xuan to come as Lord Shi Teng of Shaofu, maybe there are good candidates!"

The First Emperor nodded and said, "It's okay, come here, Xuan will be the Shaofu Shi Teng!" Whoa!"

……

Shi Teng got the order, hurried over, and when he saw that the first emperor's father and son were there, he hurriedly bowed respectfully: "Minister Shi Teng greets Your Majesty, Wu Anjun!"

"Get up!" The First Emperor smiled and raised his hand and motioned for him to sit down.

Stong sat down cautiously. He asked, "Your Majesty is in a hurry to summon your ministers, what is the matter?"

The First Emperor smiled and said, "I have discussed with Wu Anjun that I plan to build nine high-speed highways connecting the whole country across the country, but there are no suitable talents, so Shi Qing can have a suitable candidate?"

Shi Teng thought for a while and said, "There are two ministers who can take on this important task, but I don't know whether to say it or not!" The First Emperor was a little displeased and said: "Someone chooses to say, how can you swallow like a woman." Say it!"

Shi Teng hurriedly said: "The first candidate, Zhou Wang, this person is the best at engineering, and has followed Zheng Guoxiu Zheng Guoqu for many years. Later, he was imprisoned for some reason, and he has not yet come out! He is the most suitable person for such a nationwide project!"

The First Emperor thought for a moment and said in a deep voice: "I still remember this person, it is not a big deal that Zheng Guo was implicated and imprisoned because he was Han Jian!" At this time, it is the country's plan to employ people. If everything is lenient, he will be forgiven for his innocence, and let him serve as the general of the Shaofu Zuo Shi, responsible for building straight roads and galloping roads!"

The first emperor is also really courageous, and he erased Zhou Wang's suspicions in one sentence.

"Your Majesty Shengming!" Stern hurriedly patted the ass.

"What about the other one?"

"The second person, surnamed Shilu, is a genius proficient in civil engineering like Zhou Wang, and he is especially good at water conservancy. But this person is the nephew of Wei Chen, so the minister is a little hesitant!" Stong said carefully!

The First Emperor smiled and said: "As the saying goes: If you don't avoid relatives in your internal moves, Shi Qing doesn't have to be so panicked!"

Fusu suddenly remembered: "Isn't Shi Lu the person in charge of the famous Lingqu project in history!" Hurriedly said: "Father, Shi Lu's son has also heard of it, he is a genius in engineering, and he should be able to reuse!"

The First Emperor was stunned and said with a smile: "Wang Er also thinks that this person is useful, so it seems that it is right, so let him be the right history of Shaofu." Also in charge of road construction!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Steng commanded!

"Wang'er, all the above things are from your ideas, you are most familiar with them, let you take care of them, and often go to various properties to see the progress of the project!" The First Emperor entrusted the heavy responsibility to Fusu.

"Yes, Father!" Fusu received the order.

Since then, the state of Qin has suddenly moved: Xiao He Ren ruled the internal history of Li and vigorously reformed the industry, agriculture and commerce of the Qin state. Hesitant to adapt the new deal to the people's will and adapt to the times. It has attracted a lot of praise in China; Li trusted the cavalry general, trained cavalry on a large scale near Xianyang, and introduced horse breeds from the Western Regions from the Hexi Corridor on a large scale to increase the cavalry strength of the Qin State; Meng Tiantong was in charge of surveying the geography near the Great Wall for the time being, drawing maps, and preparing for the large-scale construction of the Great Wall after the completion of the straight road and the galloping road; Zhou Wang and Shi Lu began to divide labor and cooperate, with Shi Lu in charge of the most important straight, and Zhou Wang in charge of the construction of the world's galloping roads!

For a time, the entire Qin State showed a thriving atmosphere!

……

In the drizzle, the fluttering rain gently drifted in the breeze and sprinkled on the somewhat dry earth. The spring rain is as precious as oil, moisturizing things silently, and the vast land begins to recover from the desolation of winter!

At this time, north of Ganquan Palace, in the Yunling Mountains, the originally lonely and desolate valley was boiling like boiling water at this time: countless Qin people were busy in the valley, and huge rocks were chiseled and transported away by the people. The whole valley is full of heroic voices of people shouting trumpets!

Fusu stood on the top of a mountain, looking at the straight road construction site at his feet, and couldn't help but feel a little enthusiastic for a while.

Behind him was a young man in his twenties, thin and straight, handsome, holding a heavy scroll in his forehand to accompany him.

The straight road, starting from Lishan Hot Spring Palace in the south and reaching Jiuyuan County in the north, is designed to be straight south and north, and the total length reaches 1,500 miles. Moreover, the southern half is the Yunling Mountains, where mountains overlap, and the northern half is a desert area where no grass grows, so the difficulty of construction will be very great. However, once it is completed, the cavalry of the Qin State can reach the front line of the Northern Plains in only three days and three nights from Xianyang, the grain and grass can be transported to the front line in seven days, and the infantry can arrive at the reinforcements in ten days, and the military value will be extremely huge! Among the various high-speed roads currently built by the Qin State, the importance of the straight road ranks first, so Fusu focuses on this!

Fu Su suddenly asked, "Shi Lu, it's quite difficult to dig a straight road, right?" Shi Lu said respectfully: "Back to the king, according to the king's concept, the minister has designed and calculated: the whole straight road is about 1,500 miles. Everywhere you pass, the terrain is treacherous, inaccessible, and many places have to split mountains and fill valleys. Especially according to the idea of going straight north on the straight road and the nearest distance, it is even more difficult to pass through the towering clouds and almost 800 zhang of the Meridian Ridge of the highlands! It can even be said that this is the biggest challenge to nature by manpower since the beginning of the world! The difficulty of its construction is far greater than that of the galloping road, and even the plank road that runs through Bashu is not as treacherous and difficult!"

Fusu said with some concern: "How about it, such a difficult land." Do you have the confidence to accomplish this great cause?"

The young Shi Lu said proudly: "Your Excellency, rest assured, with Shi Lu, the straight road is guaranteed to be completed within three years!" No matter how high the mountains are, they can't block the way of my Qin people!"

Fusu said in high spirits: "Yes, my Qin State dominates the world and creates a new atmosphere that has never been seen in the ages!" What kind of miracle can't be created under such feats!" The crowd laughed.

Fusu waved his hand. smiled and said, "Let's go, go down with Benjun to have a look!" Whoa!" The people took the command.

……

The people descended the hill and walked all the way, and countless people were busy sweating along the way: some were picking up gravel on the roadside, some were pulling heavy floor trucks and trudging through the rugged new road, and most of them were ramming the earth with stout wooden stakes...... Many people were able to do it, so they simply took off their shirts and went into battle shirtless. Strong muscles protrude in labor, showing a strong physique!

The Qin people are strong, and they really live up to their reputation!

Seeing the people of Fusu coming, all the migrant workers hurriedly put down their work and bowed down, "The villain sees the king!" Fusu hurriedly smiled and said: "Get up, get up, everyone is working, so there is no need to be formal!" You have been busy for nearly a month, and you have all worked hard, and this monarch expresses the gratitude of the Qin State to you!"

The people were stunned. Obviously, he was a little flattered by Fusu's politeness, in a country like Qin, such an amiable magnate as Fusu was indeed a rare animal!

Seeing that everyone was a little restrained, Fusu smiled and said, "How is it, how long do you do on weekdays?" Can you still eat enough?" A foreman hurriedly replied: "Back to the king, we work for six hours a day, and we have enough rice and noodles to eat!"

"Six hours!!" Fusu looked at the people who were tired and covered in dust, and couldn't help but feel that his eyes were a little moist. Said earnestly: "Everyone has worked hard, I thank you on behalf of my father and all the people of the Qin State!" You should know. This straight road is built to protect the border pass, I hope everyone can be serious, only by beating away the Huns, we can have a good life! If you have any requirements, please report to Master Shi or come directly to this gentleman, and we will definitely try our best to help you solve it! Please!"

The people were very moved, and hurriedly said: "Your Excellency, rest assured, we will definitely build the road seriously and strive to get rid of the murderous woman as soon as possible!" That's right, with the king here, you will definitely be able to beat the Huns all over the ground looking for teeth!" …… The morale of the people was high.

Fusu smiled with satisfaction and stomped on the Shin-Tsukiji Road with his foot, and found that it was very strong. "Cangchang" pulled out the Hao Cao sword under his waist, drank it, and slashed down violently, "touching" a muffled sound suddenly appeared, Hao Cao Jian was shocked and jumped up, and only a small shallow pit more than an inch deep was cut out on the ground!

Fusu was taken aback and said: "My Haocao sword sharpens iron like clay, it is a stone, and this cut is probably more than an inch of slash marks, isn't your road harder than a stone?"

Shi Lu said with a smile: "You don't know, all the roadbeds of this straight road are stacked with loess layer by layer, which is about four inches in a layer, a total of ten layers, and each inch of each layer of pavement will have at least fifty times of downward heavy blowing, so although it is a loess pavement, it is stronger than iron stone!" I can conclude that even after a thousand years, the trees will not survive, even the weeds will not be able to grow, because they will not be able to survive through the solid pavement!" Shi Lu couldn't help but say very proudly!

Fusu praised: "It seems that this monarch and my father have used the right person, then I am also relieved, this road will definitely shoulder the heavy responsibility of protecting the family and defending the country!" Then he smiled at the people: "Okay, let's work!" Benjun will take a look at the front!" Fusu said goodbye to everyone and continued to walk.

Along the way, there are many cliffs on the side of the road that are several or even ten zhang high, and these cliffs are about 70 or 80 degrees inclined from the ground to the heights. Standing in the middle of this cliff, I can't help but feel a strong sense of oppression, lest it will collapse!

Fusu asked Shi Lu: "The cliffs on both sides are built like this. Is it to prevent landslides?" Shi Lu nodded and said: "Yes, Junshang, this design can ensure the stability of the mountains on both sides to the greatest extent, and the lack of rain along the straight road will not worry about large-scale mudslides and floods, so as long as there is no strong earthquake, the straight road should be very safe!"

Fusu nodded in admiration, and as far as the eye could see, the straight road due south and north was densely packed with restless human heads, and he couldn't see the edge. Fusu asked Shi Lu again: "Master Shi, how many migrant workers have been requisitioned for the Straight Road?" Shi Lu replied: "100,000 people, with half a year as a period, shifts!"

Fusu nodded and said: "The people are very hard, try to take care of their lives, and don't be too harsh on the overseers!" Shi Lu smiled and said, "Your Excellency, rest assured. I don't know how the others are, anyway, under my Shi Mou, I won't be harsh on the people!"

Fusu smiled: "That's good!" Then Benjun will be relieved!" The group continued on their way, and soon came to a hill. This is the front line of the construction of the 100,000 road construction army of the Qin State, as many as thousands of migrant workers are digging the mountain with giant hammers and iron hammers, and the ears are filled with the sound of "clanging" for a while.

Almost no one is lazy among the busy people, everyone is sweating like rain, and many shirtless men are dirty chests and backs washed into black and white ditches by sweat!

Fusu was a little stunned and said, "Shi Lu." What are you going to do with this hill in front of you? Look at your posture, are you going to chisel through the whole mountain? This project is too big, how about building a plank road or a winding mountain road on this road?"

Shi Lu shook his head and said: "Go back to the king, this will not work, according to the king's assumption: the straight road requires ten zhang wide, and ten carriages can be paralleled, and the plank road and the winding mountain road cannot meet such requirements, it will become a bottleneck of the straight road, and the only way to pass it is to drive a road from the foot of the mountain!"

Fusu swallowed a mouthful of saliva in his mouth, shocked in his heart: "Isn't this cutting mountains and valleys!" It's amazing. What an amazing challenge it is to carve out mountains with flesh and blood, and even to carve a path through the Meridian Ridge, which is 1,800 meters high in front of it! What a price the Qin people should have paid for completing this miraculous project in history!"

Shocked, Fusu sighed in his heart: "Although the people's power is important, but national defense and security are even more important, I finally understand now, why the Qin Dynasty has just been established in the original history, and the first emperor will also devote the whole country to build large-scale roads and the Great Wall, which is really to protect national security." It's just that Daddy is a little too anxious, so that he consumes the national power too quickly! Fortunately, I have it now. If we can vigorously develop industry and commerce while carrying out these national defense projects in a rhythmic manner, we should not cause too much harm to the country!"

Fusu suddenly remembered a very important question, and asked Shi Lu: "By the way, Shi Lu, in Benjun's conception, the straight road is a high-speed road that is straight due south and north, I also saw it just now, the straight road is indeed very straight, how did you do it?"

Shi Lu smiled a little proudly: "Your Excellency may not know much about this engineering knowledge, my Qin State currently has quite perfect geodetic surveying and mapping technology, and the map drawn is also very accurate, Your Majesty, please look at the map in my hand."

Shi Lu opened the long scroll in his hand, which was only a small part of the vast Straight Road that was being built. pointed out to the people of Fusu and said: "Your Excellency, please see, on this map, the ups and downs of the terrain, the straightness of the river, the distance and the direction of the distance, etc., are accurately depicted; Moreover, Weichen heard that the king had pioneered the sand table combat style in the army, and he was very interested, and after careful research, he learned the concept of 'scale', which made the land surveying and mapping technology of my Qin country more perfect! According to common sense such as astrological signs, it is not difficult to complete the design of the road in the north and south!"

Fusu swallowed his saliva when he heard this, and said secretly in his heart: "Cow! These techniques of the Qin people are very advanced, but they were lost after Qin, what a pity! I have been in Qin for almost twenty years, but I still keep discovering the great secrets hidden in it! Qin, how many secrets have drowned in history?"

Fu Su suddenly smiled and said, "Isn't Master Shi not difficult at all?" I can't come here in vain, I have to help solve a few problems!" The crowd burst into laughter.

Shi Lu, who was a young man, also smiled, blinked his eyes, and said, "Do you want to say that this is difficult?" In addition to the fact that the people are working hard to build roads, there are still some problems with bridge technology! Like some small rivers along the way, there is naturally no technical problem, and some bridge holes can be solved by opening some bridge holes with arch bridges, but Jingshui and Luoshui are large rivers with a width of dozens of zhang, and it is quite difficult to build a bridge on such a wide and flowing river! The minister is also thinking about it, but there is not enough time, so he is a little embarrassed!"

Fusu smiled: "Benjun thought that Master Shi had no difficulties at all, but fortunately, there was finally a little difficulty that Benjun needed to help!" Let's talk about it. What are your plans now for building bridges in Jingshui and Luoshui?"

Shi Lu frowned and said: "It stands to reason that the safest way to build a bridge is to build a stone arch bridge, but this arch bridge is probably more than a hundred zhang from south to north." In this way, the technical difficulty is too great, and it has exceeded the unimaginable level of the minister; In addition, the river is fast, and the giant piers required are also very difficult to build. It can even be said that there is no way to send it to the river at all! If you want to build a wooden bridge, the length will be shorter, about sixty or seventy zhang long. However, the wooden bridge is not resistant to the impact of the river, so it is impossible to build the piers in the river, so it is necessary to let the bridge deck withstand the downward recoil on its own, which is difficult to do at the current level of technology. The minister is restless and helpless now!"

Fusu couldn't help but be embarrassed when he heard this: "The straight road was built in history, which shows that the ancients still have the means to accomplish this feat." It's just that the specific builders have long been lost to history. I don't know who it is, and I can't even ask if I want to. At present, it is built by Shi Lu, but it is stuck in the bridge building, it seems that we have to think of a way!"

Suddenly, Fusu thought about the appearance of the modern Sola Bridge, and couldn't help laughing: "Benjun has a solution, do you want to listen to it?" Shi Luqi said: "The king is not familiar with engineering, how can he come up with a way?" The minister is willing to listen to the king's opinion!"

Fusu said with a smile: "The method is this: build a sturdy high pier in Henan and Hebei, about a few zhang or ten zhang high. Two large wooden piles were erected on the high piers, and the solid wooden piles were connected to the bridge body with strong iron chains, so that the downward recoil of the wooden bridge was offset by the iron chains transmitted to the wooden piles. A group of co-directional cables can also be laid at the bottom of the bridge to further support and consolidate the wooden bridge. Wouldn't it be easy to build the bridge that way!?"

Shi Lu was stunned when he heard this, suddenly jumped up, and shouted: "Good way, good way!" I didn't think of it, I didn't think of it! Oh, the timber bridge. What a whimsy!" Shi Lu was so excited that he danced like crazy!

Fusu smiled: "Okay, okay." Don't be happy! With the genius of Master Shi, I think this gentleman is thorough at one point, and there is no need to explain further! By the way, the newly built military buildings in my Qin State have already begun to produce iron weapons, and the iron chains you use can allow them to produce them!"

Shi Lu bowed to the ground with great joy and said: "Chen has always been conceited, and no one in the world can surpass me in terms of engineering, but I didn't expect to be taught by the king today!" It's really a little strange now, Jun is proficient in all kinds of martial arts, and even has such attainments in engineering, could it be that he is really a heavenly immortal?" The crowd burst into laughter.

Fusu also smiled and waved his hand and said: "Master Shi is too famous, and this gentleman is just an occasional inspiration, if you really talk about the skills of engineering and water conservancy, ten Benjun tied together is not as good as one of Lord Shi!" Shi Lu hurriedly said: "Ashamed, ashamed!"

The crowd burst into laughter again. It's just that Fusu has some regrets in his heart: "What kind of miracle is the Jingshui and Luoshui Bridge in the original history?" It's a shame that now this can only become an eternal mystery!"

……

Soon, Shi Lu sent a letter to Xianyang, inviting Fusu to Jingshui, the closest to Xianyang, to admire the completion of the Jinghe Bridge! Fusu was overjoyed when he heard this, and he rushed to Jingshui with his people.

The straight road that has been repaired is very easy to walk, the war horse gallops like flying, the speed is extremely fast, the straight road of more than 100 miles is finished in most of the day, the sun is just a little golden in the twilight, Fusu and others came to the side of the Jingshui Bridge!

At this time, Shi Lu had already led a large number of officials to wait by the bridge, and when he saw Fusu coming, he hurriedly greeted him.

Fu Su jumped off his horse and laughed: "How is it, Lord Shi, the bridge has been built?" Shi Lu was also so excited that he blushed and said: "Live up to the mission and successfully complete it!" It is very strong and durable, and during the test this morning, sixteen carriages were parked on the bridge, and the bridge was not unstable at all!"

"Great!" Fusu rushed to the Jingshui Bridge.

Everyone climbed a gentle slope to the south of the bridge to the tall pier, this pier is estimated to be ten zhang high from the top of the river road! And a huge wooden bridge nearly 60 zhang long flew over the mighty Jingshui water, and stood proudly as stable as Mount Tai under the maintenance of iron cables connected to thick wooden piles!

"A bridge flies north and south, and the moat will be opened!" Fusu laughed loudly and stepped heavily on the bridge deck, and the feeling was two words: 'stable' and 'cool': you must know that this is the first time that the Chinese have successfully built a successful bridge on a big river like Jingshui!

"A bridge flies north and south, and the moat will be passed! Good, good, well said!" Shi Lu said excitedly: "Your Majesty, please write down this sentence, and the minister will erect a monument by the bridge, so that the world can see the achievements of my Qin people!"

At the moment, there was a well-behaved person who immediately presented pen and ink, and Fusu waved his pen and left an ink treasure on a piece of white silk! This witty phrase, which originally belonged to **, was stolen by Fusu, and together with the Jinghe Bridge and the straight road, it was permanently recorded in history!
