After Tang Meng and Zhu Duotong negotiated, they returned to Chang'an to report to Liu Che. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw.

info Liu Che immediately approved the start of construction and opened the mountain to build the road.

But the work of building roads is really not easy to do!

Qin Shi Huang built the Great Wall and highways, using imperial troops.

But now?

Most of the army of the Han Dynasty, Liu Che was ready to use it against the Xiongnu.

Therefore, if Tang Meng wants to open mountains and build roads, there is only one way: to requisition and mobilize people's forces.

The recruitment of people's strength, of course, is more reliable for local migrant workers in Bashu.

So, Tang Meng took his more than 1,000 soldiers, requisitioned tens of thousands of Sichuan migrant workers, and started work.

This road starts from the county of Qianwei County, and is built for nearly 300 kilometers to the south, until the side of the Ke River... But soon, there was a big problem with the road construction.

The problem lies in Tang Meng's management system.

There were no large machines at that time.

Opening mountains, moving stones, and building roads all rely on the efforts of migrant workers.

But the difficulty of Shu Road is difficult to go to the blue sky, which is known to everyone on the earth.

Tang Meng only cares about building roads, but he doesn't care about the lives of migrant workers.

As a result, the national highway is expanding little by little, but the migrant workers in Shu are falling into the cliff one after another in front.

How many people unfortunately died, it is estimated that Tang Meng should not have counted.

When someone died in front, he pulled him from behind.

So groups of people died on the front line, and Tang Meng pulled them to the front line from the rear in batches.

Life is impermanent, Tang Meng is ruthless.

The hard-working migrant workers were really scared.

So they began to flee for their lives.

The bold are ready for revolution.

Of course, they only want to reform the Tang Dynasty and not the life of the Han Dynasty.

However, if you want to change Tang Meng's life, of course Tang Meng will not sit still.

So Tang Meng grabbed a group of migrant workers and killed them.

and threatened the remaining migrant workers, "If you don't build the road well, you will all end up like this"

Tang Meng's trick of killing chickens and monkeys made the Bashu migrant workers completely chilled!

Building roads is death, rebellion is death.

It's better to die happily and make a big revolution.

Tang Meng: If you can do the first year of junior high school, we can do the fifteenth!

I think: the Bashu people at that time must have thought so in their hearts.

And they are ready to do the same.

But before the migrant workers had time to rebel, a man suddenly came from Chang'an.

When the news of the boiling grievances of the people of Bashu came back to Chang'an, Liu Che's mood couldn't help but feel heavy.

The construction of the great southwest is a great project that will benefit the present generation and the future generations.

The road must be repaired, but now the migrant workers are boiling in mood, so they can only send people to appease them first and do their ideological work: Sima Xiangru, a Shu person, is very famous in the southwest region, and his words should work.

Let him do the ideological work of the fellow countrymen, which should be the first choice.

As soon as Sima Xiangru arrived in Sichuan, he first investigated the cause of the incident and comforted the migrant workers.

Then he publicly condemned Tang Meng's improper management methods, and he should not treat our Bashu brothers only as cattle envoys, and not treat us as human beings.

In the end, it is to relieve the emperor.

Sima Xiangru stutters, and of course cannot speak in public.

He used his expertise to write a long and stinky essay.

To put it simply, it can be summed up in a few sentences: the migrant workers have worked hard.

The abuse of migrant workers is not an act of the government, let alone the emperor's will, it is completely the personal behavior of Zhonglang General Tang Meng!

Now, on behalf of the Central Committee, I would like to extend my deep apologies and greetings to you.

Please rest assured that the Central Committee has ordered Comrade Tang Meng to reflect on his work attitude and improve his work methods.

After Sima Xiangru sent out the text, he went back to Chang'an to report to work.

Sima Xiangru left the river with his front foot, and Tang Meng continued to build the road.

So, did Tang Meng reflect?

Have the working methods been improved?

Tang Meng did reflect on it, and he also improved his working methods.

He thought of requisitioning troops to build roads.

Of course, don't count on the army in the center.

Tang Meng could only hit the abacus on the heads of Bashu and other garrisons.

The decision was made, the army was requisitioned, and the road was continued.

In the end, Tang Meng exerted his entrepreneurial spirit of not being afraid of hardship, resentment, and spending money, and built a highway full of blood and sweat to the door of Yelang Kingdom.

When the people of Yelang looked at the national highway that was like a giant python, they couldn't tell whether they were sad or happy.

It's finally finished, and now I can finally breathe a sigh of relief?

But Tang Meng told the soldiers: You can breathe a sigh of relief, but now is not the time to go home.

Everyone was stunned.

What does this Tang Meng want to do?

Could it be that he is crazy about building roads, and he wants to build other roads?

Tang Meng smiled: You're right.

We're going to continue building roads.

While we are still motivated, we will open up all the roads in Southwest Yi.

This, of course, is also a national planning project.

Sure enough, it's a road building maniac!

Everyone was dumbfounded.

Migrant workers are used as cattle messengers, and they can cry and shout.

When a soldier is used as a cattle messenger, what right do they have to shout?

If you enter the military industry, you have to suffer the hardships of the military industry.

There is no way, gritting your teeth and having to follow the leader to repair the road.

In fact, the soldier gritted his teeth, and Tang Meng was also gritting his teeth.

On the road to repair Yelang, he didn't taste the sweetness, but he suffered a lot.

Now he really wants to do something big and endure all this hardship.

Even if he folds Tang Meng, he can open a road to the outside world for the southwest, and he can be regarded as having no regrets.

But to open up the entire southwest, we must spend more money and requisition more troops.

Of course, this matter has to be nodded by the emperor.

The report was sent to Chang'an, and Liu Che agreed.

This is a national project for the benefit of future generations, and it is also a tool to create a generation of imperial ambitions, and Liu Che certainly cannot refuse.

So it was agreed to allocate funds and agree to Tang Meng's requisition of the army.

The scope of the requisitioned army was limited to the southwestern garrisons of Bashu and Guanghan.

With Liu Che's words, Tang Meng was relieved.

He led the soldiers on a journey to build roads.

This time, Tang and Mongolia requisitioned tens of thousands of troops, and the scale was huge.

They worked day and night, one after the other, for two years in one breath.

Summing up Tang Meng in the past two or three years, the road has not been repaired, and many soldiers have died.

The money spent is calculated in billions.

Originally, it was a good thing to build roads, but as soon as everyone calculated the cost, some people were immediately unhappy.

From the people of Bashu to the senior officials of the central government, they all unanimously called on the emperor to stop building roads.

That's a lot of money to spend.

But the batches of lovely soldiers fell off the cliff and grieved.

I believe that Liu Che has the money allocated in his heart; How many soldiers have died, I believe Liu Che also has a bottom in his heart.

But a lot of money was spent, and a lot of people died.

Want to stop work now?

Isn't that a waste of time?

Isn't the money spent in vain?

Didn't the dead soldiers also die in vain?

Liu Che decided: No matter what, grit your teeth and persevere!

Build the road!

At the same time, there is another thing that also strengthened Liu Che's determination to build roads.

Here's what happened: The two kings of Qiongdu and Yudu in the southwest also sent people to Chang'an and took the initiative to express their willingness to be courtiers of the Han Dynasty.

The premise is: they must enjoy the same treatment as the Yelang Kingdom of Nanyi, and they must also enjoy the generous gifts of the Han Dynasty.

Qiongdu and Yudu are the two largest countries in the southwest, but compared with the princes of Nanyi such as Yelang, they are not a grade.

However, it is much better for them to take the initiative to invite Hanchen than to send the army out to fight.

Now the question is: are they worth Liu Che's generosity and treat them as the same as Zhuduo?

For this reason, Liu Che summoned Sima Xiangru and asked him what he thought of the petition of the two emirates of Nanxiyi.

Sima Xiangru replied like this: "Qiongdu, Yudu, and Ranlu are all quite close to Shu County, and it is relatively easy to open up these roads. At that time, the Qin State also incorporated them into the national territory and set up counties. When the Han Dynasty arose, it was a pity that they were abandoned. Now, if the southwest Yi is opened up and the counties are re-established, its value will definitely exceed that of the Nanyi."

Southwest Yi or Nanyi, who is more valuable?

That's not something that can be said in a word.

But Sima Xiangru's first half of the sentence piqued Liu Che's interest.

Qin Shi Huang can set the southwest Yi as a county, why can't Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty set up a county?

If you want to set up a county, then Tang Meng has to build the road.

So, Liu Che nodded and passed Sima Xiangru's plan.

and immediately assigned Sima Xiangru an assignment: Tang Meng will do the road construction.

And the task of getting the southwest Yi is up to you!

The homework assigned by Liu Che was in the heart of Sima Xiangru.

Because Liu Che gave him the task, he had to be given an official position accordingly.

Returning to his hometown and honoring his ancestors is not exactly what he Sima Xiangru dreamed of?

In the summer, Sima Xiangru set off.

Sure enough, Liu Che gave him an official title: a Zhonglang general like Tang Meng.

On behalf of the Central Committee, he is an envoy with a festival.

Behind the buttocks, there were also four deputy envoys, Wang Ran, Yu Hu, Chong Guo, and Lu Yueren.

Sima Xiangru's carriage was galloping all the way, and the officials of Shu County and the tribes of Southwest Yi all held him as a star.

For Sima Xiangru, it is not a problem at all to deal with the southwest Yi.

After receiving the gift from Sima Xiangru, these mountain chiefs all nodded happily, as if they had picked up a big bargain.

Therefore, Sima Xiangru's task was completed extremely easily.

Sima Xiangru decided: Take the opportunity of a business trip to visit his father-in-law's old man's house!

Of course, a visit is a fake, but showing off is the real thing.

I wanted to go to Linqiong City, open a bar, be a little second, and my father-in-law didn't go out of the door and cut off my relatives.

The scene is still vivid.

Today, Sima Xiangru wants to tell the world: the stocks that fell below the issue price have soared!

The news that Sima Xiangru was going to return to Linqiong County to show off spread throughout the city overnight.

Linqiong was busy.

Too guarded by the suburbs, the county order bent over the back of the arrow, and opened the way in front.

Father-in-law Zhuo Wangsun and the well-known people in Linqiongcheng had already set up a banquet and lined up to welcome them, all of them with smiles on their faces.

Especially that Zhuo Wangsun, as if aiming at a cat to catch a dead mouse and winning the 5 million grand prize, he was so proud that his beard was about to fly... In the past, Su Qin traveled in a difficult way, but after that, he hung the seal of the six countries and returned to his hometown.

Relatives and friends all bowed their knees at his feet, Su Qin raised his head and sighed, "In the world, people are warm and cold, but that's it."

Truly.

As soon as you are broad, there will naturally be someone to put gold for you.

Zhuo Wangsun also gave a sum of money to his developed son-in-law.

He took Sima Xiangru's hand and said, "I really hate to marry my daughter to you late." Now, as a token of my remorse for you, I have decided to be equal between men and women. Wen Jun's eldest brother got how much property I have, and naturally you are indispensable as a son-in-law."

As a result, Sima Xiangru unexpectedly received a share of Zhuo Wangsun's property.

In one sentence to describe Sima Xiang's trip, three words: make a lot of money.

The official position is enough for him, the face is called his heart, and the financial gifts are enough for the face.

So Sima Xiang came proudly like a spring breeze, and returned to Chang'an proudly in the spring breeze, and reported to Liu Che about his work: Qiongdu, Yudu, Ran Su, Siyu and other kings of Southwest Yi were all invited to be ministers.

They all agreed to dismantle the checkpoints and open the border gates.

West to the Fen, Ruo Ershui, south to the Ke River, chisel zero pass road, build a bridge to Sun Shui, straight to Qiongdu.

There is a total of one Duwei and more than ten counties, all of which are under the jurisdiction of Shu County.

But Sima Xiangru didn't expect it: there is a big black cauldron in Chang'an, waiting for him to come back and carry it!

This big black cauldron is bribery!

Someone impeached Sima Xiangru for enjoying abnormal treatment along the way and accepting bribes from many local officials!

Liu Che's expression was still empty just now, and suddenly dark clouds were thick.

This Sima Xiangru is just about to take bribes as soon as he is promoted, is it really in the eyes of money?

Liu Che sent someone to investigate.

This investigation found a confused account.

The so-called abnormal treatment, Sima Xiangru enjoyed.

Shu County is too guarded by the suburbs, the county order is to ride horses to open the way, and the fathers and villagers are lined up to welcome, which are all evidence.

But the so-called bribery is indeed a bit unjust.

The money was given to his son-in-law by his father-in-law, what does this have to do with others?

In this case, how could the charge of accepting bribes from others be put on Sima Xiangru's head?

There is no record in the history books of the details of Sima Xiangru's bribery, and the official has not announced the facts.

Thinking about it, there is only one possibility: someone is jealous of Sima Xiangru!

Jealous of Sima Xiangru's gang, he was probably the minister who opposed Tang Meng's crazy road construction before.

Their logic should be as follows: Is there any benefit to the Han Dynasty in opening up the Southwest Yi?

So many people died, so much money was spent, and as a result, the road was repaired, and so many generous gifts were given to Nanyi.

What did the Han Dynasty get?

Oh, but a guy who is called "the boss"

The title.

For a "world boss"

Is it worth losing so much taxpayers and money?

It's not worth it, why does Sima Xiangru insist on saying that it is good to get rid of Southwest Yi?

There is only one possibility: Sima Xiangru wants to take the opportunity to get a handful!

I believe that, based on the above logic, they must have placed spies in the team sent by Sima Xiangru.

As a result, Sima Xiangru was ruthlessly plotted!
