Chapter 337: Prospecting

Of course, the happiest ones still belong to Li Chang and Wei San, as long as they follow Wan Qianyang's side, they know how happy and lucky they are to be able to work with Wan Qiyang. Not only can you learn knowledge and common sense that you never knew before, but you can also have surprises often. Because the purpose of this trip is something that even Wan Qiyang is looking forward to, which shows how much Wan Qianyang has expectations for this trip. It also creates greater expectations for their impact, and I wonder if there will be something that they haven't seen after going out this time!

..........................

Wan Qianyang's route is naturally a high-speed route searched on the mobile phone, Chengdu - Ya'an - Yingjing - Hanyuan - asbestos - Mianning - Lugu - Xichang - Panzhihua. And this trip Wan Qiyang and all the soldiers are equipped with horses and marching bags, without horses is not good, of course, the main problem is to save time.

And Wan Qiyang's trip has made all the calendars he made in the mansion used, and bluntly said that this calendar is a unified time overseas, just for comparison. Otherwise, some people will say that you want to rebel in this calendar alone, because only the emperor can have his own era name.

And at this time on the march, it must be a few months before you can come back, this Spring Festival will naturally not be spent at home, so everyone is also very reluctant, but Wan Qiyang is also the same, an order is an order, there is no room for bargaining.

Wan Qiyang took the team to Ya'an direction, set off early in the morning, to Ya'an more than 300 miles Wan Qiyang calculated the time and road, and could camp in Ya'an at night. In the Ming Dynasty, Ya'an was called 'Yazhou', Ya'an was the starting point of the ancient tea and tea horse road on the roadside in southern China, and Mengding mountain tea was imported into Tibet through the ancient tea horse road, which was a special commodity for the tea and horse trade between the central government and Tibet, Qiang and other ethnic minorities in the past dynasties, and became an important link for the Han people to enhance political, economic and cultural exchanges with the people of Tibet, Qiang and other ethnic groups. Ya'an Bian Tea was introduced to Tibet from the Tang Dynasty and has a history of more than 1,300 years, and has always been a favorite drink for the Tibetan people. Ya'an borders with Tibet, and it is easy to communicate and exchange between the two places, from the initial simple barter, to later it gradually developed into a large-scale "tea for horses" and "tea and soil exchanges", so that from Ya'an, Sichuan to Lhasa, Tibet, a very important ancient trade route has gradually formed, because the materials transported on this ancient road are mainly the tea on the south roadside of Ya'an, so it is also known as the Sichuan-Tibet Tea Horse Ancient Road.

Therefore, this road is still very easy to walk, so Wan Qiyang first let everyone get used to this kind of marching speed, and it is also a kind of training for war horses, and there is also a purpose of this trip, which is to trade some horses in ethnic minority areas to bring back. Ya'an is located at the western edge of the Sichuan Basin, which is a natural transition zone of topography, ecology and climate from the Chengdu Plain to the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau and a cultural transition zone from the Han nationality to the Tibetan, Qiang and Yi ethnic groups.

Wan Qiyang marched all the way, at first the whole team was neat and unified, and later due to the long march, people were sleepy and tired, and the team gradually became untidy. And Wan Qiyang is at this time it is time for him to exercise everyone's will, he took the lead in dismounting, and ordered everyone to get off the horse and take the horse and the person to move forward, so that the horse is naturally much easier because there is no load of people, and it is equivalent to rest. But people also have to march, so Wan Qiyang specifically proposed that this is the time to surpass himself, everyone's limit is different, so everyone must supervise and help each other, until after their own limit, everyone feels that they feel that they have never had the spirit, and at the same time, it is for their own chief has always been in front and never saw a little difference in him from before the departure, has always been so spiritual, the admiration in his heart is completely Wan Qiyang as a spiritual leader, All take him as the goal of struggle, and after having this goal, everyone's momentum is called sufficient.

Whenever I felt that I couldn't hold on anymore, I heard Wan Qiyang's voice ringing in my ears, "Think about how you persevered and came here!" ”

Later, Wan Qiyang also taught everyone a song that was often heard in the army in later generations, so that he not only got more physical exercise, but also got a different harvest mentally. In the afternoon of the same day, according to the twenty-four hours, he arrived in Yazhou at about 17 o'clock in the afternoon, and because Wan Qiyang had the military orders and government orders of Lord Cheng in his hands, he was able to order the local local officials locally.

In fact, Wan Qianyang is also to let the construction of the entire Sichuan start from the foundation of the solid construction, directly let the officials of Yazhou start from the construction of the road, and order the local army and the people to participate in the construction, of course, Wan Qianyang told the time limit, when the time must be accepted, the completion of the task will be rewarded, otherwise it will be punished, and it is also stipulated that it cannot be forcibly apportioned to the people, and the reward will be issued at the same time as the acceptance, which is equivalent to the usual employment treatment. He also instructed the officials in charge of agriculture to vigorously develop the cultivation of local peppercorns, and to pay for the first harvest in advance.

Therefore, Wan Qiyang's walk over really made the local yamen frightened and happy. What I was afraid of was that the envoy with the order of the supreme administrator of Sichuan caught his braids, and I was happy that I had completed the order brought by the envoy and there was a reward. Anyway, Wan Qiyang has cleared a lot of resident insects for Master Cheng along the way, and has also solved a lot of problems with ethnic minorities.

Ya'an's Shangli Ancient Town, Wangyu Ancient Town, etc. are important post stations on the Southern Silk Road, important towns on the Ancient Tea Horse Road, when Wan Qiyang arrived at these two ancient towns, what he didn't expect was that there was actually a Zhengyang Chamber of Commerce set up a site here, which is to purchase the goods of ethnic minorities, including horses and livestock and some peripheral products.

In this way, Wan Qiyang only delayed for less than a day to deal with some disputes for the local people, and then on the third day, he arrived in Shimian County, rested here and prepared to drag Wushan the next day, and after going over the mountain, he arrived at Mianning and Lugu in Daliang Mountain. This section of the road is not easy to walk, and in some places, Wan Qiyang needs to find a better way to walk.

Wan Qiyang has traveled all the way, and at the same time, he has also marked the actual situation of the contemporary era on the map, and according to Wan Qiyang's habit of going to university before, the actual situation of each place has been investigated and recorded. On the twentieth day of this trip, Wan Qiyang has arrived in the Panzhihua area, where it has been proved that Panzhihua is an area where human activities were earlier according to archaeological discoveries in later generations; In addition to the remains of "Yuanmou Man" and "Butterfly Man" that have been found in neighboring areas, in recent years, the ancient human ruins of Huilongdong Temple about 18,000 ~ 12,000 years ago have been found in Panzhihua City. And this place is still under the jurisdiction of Xichang, and most of it belongs to the place of Miyi County.

When Wan Qiyang arrived here, he also saw that the mountains everywhere have unique shapes, and they also belong to the earthquake zone, not only the rift terrain of the fault zone, but also the rich various minerals. The red stones that appear on the riverbed and the rocks exposed by the mountains around also indicate that there is a large amount of iron ore in the area.

Wan Qiyang first communicated with the local yamen, first issued an announcement, needed to recruit a large number of labor, and proposed remuneration. There are also a large number of ethnic minorities living on this barren soil, and the life of the people in these places is quite primitive, and the quality of life is naturally very poor, so after this notice post came out, in the next few days, people have been rushing over.

First of all, Wan Qiyang collected a batch of ores in the four mountains, mainly including hematite and magnetite. And stationed a camp at the location of the Pangang Mill in the later generations, and then sent people back to Chengdu Fucheng to transfer troops to Lord Cheng, this return of troops is to build an iron-making plant, and the other is a coal washing plant, which requires a lot of manpower, and also mines coal mines, mainly the open-pit coal mine in Renhe Village.

All this Wan Qiyang is also planning information, and at the same time teaching Zhao Long's reliable own people, and at the same time asking them to keep secrets. At the same time, Wan Qiyang also needs to build a small iron-making and steel-making place, and then needs to teach the technology to Zhao Long and the people around him, and let the skills they master must not be passed on to others, loyalty is particularly important at this time.
