The huge amount of work will require the Qin court to invest more manpower and material resources, and even this Xianyang Dawan Road will be as protracted as the Lishan Mausoleum.

Decades of excavation will not only deplete the vitality of the Qin State, but also lead to the boiling of public resentment, and make the contradictions between the Qin court and the people at the bottom more abrupt.

Qin Gong Yingfei is not a scheming person, he knows in his heart that Xianyang Dawan Dao is like a double-edged sword, with disadvantages and advantages.

It's just that walking on a tightrope is too dangerous, carrying the hope of the entire Qin State, and Qin Gong Yingfei must not dance on the tip of a knife.

……

"Xianyang Dawan Road, it must be completed within ten years, otherwise even if it is completed, it will have no effect on yourself."

The thought flickered in his heart, Qin Gong Yingfei's eyes never left the map, and the excavation of Xianyang Dawan Road could be said to be the most important link in his entire hegemony territory.

Only after the completion of the repair of the five major roads of the old Qin, coupled with the excavation of the Xianyang Dawan Road, the influence of the Nuo Empire will radiate to the surrounding areas with Xianyang as the center.

At the same time, the Emperor of Qin could take Xianyang as the center and firmly control these places along the Chi Road.

Qin Gong Yingfei knew in his heart the benefits of digging the Chi Road, once there was a disturbance in Hanzhou and other places, in addition to the Yancheng battalion could respond quickly, the Lantian battalion could also send troops along the Xianyang Dawan Road as quickly as possible.

It can be said that the construction of Chidao is a tentacle of a state controlling all places, simple and effective.

It's just that the benefits are obvious, and the disadvantages are equally conspicuous, and the excavation of Xianyang Dawan Road is just like the digging of the Grand Canal by Emperor Yang of Sui in later generations, and the slightest carelessness will drag down the whole country.

Qin Gong Yingfei is a bold person, but he still has fears in his heart, digging Xianyang Dawan Road, just like standing on the edge of a cliff to make a choice.

Life and death are just a gamble.

……

The thought flickered in his heart, Qin Gong Yingfei looked at the map and was silent for a while, then took a pen and wrote down three questions on the paper. The corners of his mouth smiled slightly, and he walked in the direction of the harem.

……

Early the next morning, thousands of craftsmen came to the house prepared by the Prime Minister's Mansion.

This time, Prime Minister Jiang Wan came in person and organized people to send the exam questions sent by the Weiyang Palace. Because of the importance of this matter, the military advisor Guo Jia is also among them.

……

"Prime Minister, do you think any of these people can satisfy you?"

A gleam flashed in the eyes of the military advisor Guo Jia, but he looked at the exam papers just now, and naturally knew how tricky the three questions of Qin Gongyingfei were.

Except for the former Han officials who are really in charge of road traffic, I am afraid that ordinary people will not be able to get the data in them, let alone these people.

Guo Jia knew in his heart that some of them might not even be able to write their own names, let alone answer such tricky topics.

"The king has his own opinions, which cannot be predicted by our courtiers, but these three questions of the king are indeed tricky and strange, and they are not available to ordinary people."

……

Prime Minister Jiang Wan agreed with the statement of the military adviser Guo Jia, but he knew in his heart that all this was not a thing, and only by washing the sand could he get real gold.

Among these thousands of people, there is always one that will satisfy Qin Gong Yingfei, this time they are not holding a national examination, and there is no need to seek talents on a large scale.

In this contest of thousands of people, only one qualified person needs to appear.

Because of this, Prime Minister Jiang Wan was full of expectations for this assessment, because he knew in his heart that only in this way could Qin Gongyingfei be satisfied.

……

"If you are the master craftsman, how can you use the millions of people to complete the repair of the straight road at the time of spring ploughing next year?"

"If you want to dig a new gallop road, from Xianyang to Dawan, what advice do you have?"

"If you are responsible for digging Xianyang Dawan Road, how many years will it take and how much effort will it take?"

……

As soon as they thought of the three exam questions made Qin Gong Yingfei, Jiang Wan and the others were surprised, they didn't expect Qin Gong Yingfei to actually do the opposite.

I didn't ask about the specific way to repair the straight, but in a general way, I wanted to see what they thought and whether they were a generation of masters.

……

Prime Minister Jiang Wan personally presided over the examination, and organized the officials of the Prime Minister's Mansion to be ready to select the reasonable examination papers after the examination for Qin Gong Yingfei to decide.

Four thousand five hundred and thirty-six people participated in the assessment, which is a huge number, and it is impossible to pick it out in a short period of time without going through the layers of screening by the Prime Minister's Mansion.

As the king of a country, Qin Gong Yingfei naturally won't do these heavy jobs, all he needs to do is to decide the most suitable person among the top three or top ten.

……

"Your Majesty, the top ten are out."

Glancing at Prime Minister Jiang Wan, Qin Gong Yingfei smiled slightly and said, "Prime Minister has worked hard."

Qin Gong Yingfei knew in her heart that since she made the decision yesterday, the hardest thing belonged to Prime Minister Jiang Wan, because whether it was the place where the assessment was arranged or the top ten were selected from more than 4,000 people, it was also a hard job.

"The king's words are serious, for the rise of the Qin State, the ministers will never give up."

Everyone can say anything about the scene, especially a literati like Prime Minister Jiang Wan, whose kung fu can be described as the pinnacle, but others can't find the fault.

"Haha, the prime minister likes this, Wei Haoran takes it."

"No."

……

Looking at the examination papers of ten people, Qin Gong Yingfei's eyes flickered slightly, and he agreed with these people's remarks, but they were different.

Qin Gong Yingfei looked at it very seriously, and it took a quarter of an hour to finish the examination papers of the ten people.

"Prime Minister, Yuwen Tuo is tentatively at the top of the list, and Yuwen Tuo, Li Shuang, and Wang Ziqiao are brought in, and they are alone to ask."

"No."

Nodding in agreement, Prime Minister Jiang Wan turned around and left, with Jiang Wan's step, it meant that the selection of master craftsmen officially came to an end, and Qin Gong Yingfei had a decision in his heart.

"It is worthy of being an elite selected among more than 4,000 people, and his views on the straight road are really much better than others."

Qin Gong Yingfei's eyes flickered, he knew in his heart that it was not Yuwen Tuo who was superior, and the reason why he chose Yuwen Tuo as the top of the list was that the reason for recruiting the world's famous craftsmen this time was to repair the straight.

And Yuwen Tuo has extraordinary knowledge on the straight, far surpassing Li Shuang and Wang Ziqiao, so it is not inappropriate to tentatively appoint Yuwen Tuo as the top of the list.

And Li Shuang and Wang Ziqiao have their own views on Xianyang Dawan Dao, and some of their ideas are even more amazing to Qin Gong Yingfei.

He knew in his heart that with Li Shuang and Wang Ziqiao, maybe Xianyang Dawan Dao could really be excavated. Thinking of this, Qin Gong Yingfei's heart was full of expectations for the upcoming three.

Because these three people will be the figures who will affect the situation in the Qin State and even the Central Plains, Qin Gong Yingfei attaches great importance to such a great talent.
