"Isn't there anyone willing to go to Qinfeng Road to preside over the road construction project? It is basically within the strength of the Great Song Empire, and there are no dangerous and uncontrollable factors.

Fifteen of us must have someone to go to Qinfeng Road to supervise the construction of the highway from Lanzhou to Xining, relying on those students and the bureaucrats of the Great Song Dynasty is unreliable, originally this project should be the dean of the School of Architecture Yang Wenhui personally responsible, but unfortunately he has no time to go, and now he is tackling the fast-hardening Portland cement used to build the Lanxi Highway. How about we just draw lots? "Li Ji didn't expect that there was no one who took the initiative.

A highway of more than 200 kilometers costs 1 million yuan, equivalent to 11.5 million yuan, this investment is equivalent to one-eighth of the assets of Chenji Group, which is of great significance and cannot be underestimated. Although the plan was made to get Tubo as a gift in exchange for the support of the Empress Dowager, no one has been to pick up the Liang to preside over the entire project.

This highway was the core of the Tibetan strategy, and it was the decisive weapon of Li Ji's plan to push the entire Amdo region to be under the central jurisdiction of the Song Empire. This has to talk about the history and geography of Tibetan areas.

Traditionally, Tibetan areas can be divided into three parts: Weizang, Kham, and Amdo according to dialects. Most of the plateau radiating westward from Lhasa is called "Weizang". This region is the political, religious, economic, and cultural center of Tibet (not only Tibetan Province, but also the Tibetan Autonomous Regions of Qinghai, Sichuan, and Yunnan); Nianqing Tanggula Mountain - the grasslands of northern Tibet, Qinghai, Gannan and northwest Sichuan north of Hengduan Mountain are called "Amdo". The Amdo area is a vast grassland with thousands of miles, so the Amdo Tibetan area is famous for producing good horses and advocating horses; The "Kham" Tibetan region is located in the Hengduan Mountains between the mountains and rivers, specifically the two Tibetan autonomous prefectures of Ganzi and Aba in western Sichuan, the Qamdo region of Tibetan Province, the Diqing region of Yunnan Province, and Yushu in Qinghai. The most famous Kham is the Kham people: the women of Danba, the man of Kangding, have clear grievances, are fierce and brave, advocating horizontal swords, and the women of Kham are indescribably charming. There are classics in Tibetan areas: the legal domain "Weizang", the horse domain "Amdo", and the human domain "Kham".

In order to solve once and for all the problems of the lack of strategic resources of the Song army, the strategic situation of the Western Xia containing a large amount of national strength, the economic situation of the poor and difficult livelihood in the Northwest, and the reconstruction of the bridgehead for the expansion of the Northwest to lay the foundation for the future elimination of the Western Xia, Li Ji adhered to the strategy of building roads first if he wanted to get rich, instead of following the 'slander' of Wang Xinyu, the head of the armed forces, to expand the military factory that was still in the stage of secret accumulation.

"The good horses raised by the people are well-known in China, and they are the main breeds of trade with the Song Dynasty and the tribute to the Song Dynasty. The society is relatively stable, agriculture has developed considerably, and the "tribes are prosperous", and the Xining area has a population of about 180,000 after 15 years of history. The handicraft industry based on the processing of folk traditional animal products has also developed to a certain extent, such as tanning skins, spinning wool, weaving felting, rolling felt, weaving blankets, making tents, brewing fine wine, smelting ironware, carving silverware, etc., especially good at making bows and crossbows and swords, and the armor made by them, "strong crossbows cannot enter", as tribute. The Silk South Road Qinghai Ancient Road is thriving again, and the successors of Dong Yu and Ali Gu protect the past envoys and merchants, and the Qingtang East City is Xining, where there are often "hundreds of people who come and go from Khotan and Hui to and fro." "The History of the Song Dynasty: The Biography of Tubo" said: "The Song Dynasty lives in Shanzhou, and there is Lingu City in the west leading to Qinghai, and the countries of Gaochang are all tending to trade in Shanzhou, so they are rich and strong. ’

He inherited the traditional culture of Tibet and developed, advocating Buddhism and building Buddhist temples, and Buddhist monks were respected. Zhao Shouzhong quoted the scriptures again

What does this mean? That's what we're going to do when we've built the road. The development of construction, animal husbandry, wool textiles, handicrafts, mining, Qinghai Lake's potash industry, Buddhist cultural industry, logistics industry, foreign trade wholesale industry, and so on. If we get that done, we'll be able to buy off everybody in the area. If you can't get the whole of Tibet, you can at least get the Amdo area of Qinghai. Li Ji patted his chest and reassured.

"If you have not experienced peaceful evolution, you will not know what kind of strength and determination humanity will have in pursuit of a better standard of living and environment. My family and I experienced that after my father was laid off, in order to save an extra dollar, he rode a bicycle for his family's small restaurant and traveled 30 miles to the countryside to buy groceries. As long as there is a little hope and a good environment, both the Tibetan herdsmen and the poor peasants in the northwest will fight for it desperately. There is no need for us to use force and waste resources to build hatred, and they themselves will obediently submit to our management and service. A highway is the hope of realizing everything, which can greatly reduce their resource exchange costs and logistics costs, and can definitely achieve the goal of changing the land and returning it to the river within a year. Li Ji confidently made a guarantee at the Tibetan strategic meeting. But no one responded to his plan and took the initiative to manage this important project, which made him very disappointed and helpless.

"Since you all have important things to do, it's not convenient to travel. Then I will send a few experienced teaching assistants and top students to Xining to establish a base! You're not going to object to it anymore, are you? As soon as they heard that they didn't have to go to Qinghai, everyone immediately agreed with silence.

"Now that the plan has been set, I hope that the relevant departments will do a good job of cooperating, in addition to Lao Yang of the School of Architecture, Gao Jing of the School of Design will get the drawings, Wu Qi of the School of Medicine will prepare the labor insurance plan, accounting, supervision, auditing, materials, canteens and other departments must ensure that the relevant work can not be hindered, otherwise I will deduct his shares. This is the power of me, the chairman, as stipulated in the articles of association. Don't slander you," Li Ji announced the adjournment of the meeting after the success of the plan, and slipped away before everyone could realize that this was a tactic of retreating.
