Just when the envoys of the governors arrived in Luoyang, Qin Shaoyou had already led his army to Hangu Pass.

Hangu Pass is still the same, the tall city wall, the arrow towers, in this lofty mountains, particularly eye-catching.

Attacking Hangu Pass, obviously not in a hurry, Ye Chunqiu has already ordered people to set up camp, obviously, he has no intention of setting up a temporary camp, but simply let people build a large camp, planning to set up a long-term camp here. Since this is the case, then it is not as simple as a few tents, and for a while, the dust outside Hangu Pass is raised for more than ten miles, and it is very happy.

Qin Shaoyou's line is newly decorated, since he plans to live here for a long time, although he is not greedy for any enjoyment, but always have a certain degree of comfort, at this time this has become a communication center, many envoys in Luoyang from the king did not get any accurate answer, so they simply came directly to Hangu Pass.

Bargaining is essential, Qin Shaoyou doesn't seem to attach much importance to these governors, expecting them to bring troops to help in the war? Just kidding, even if they are willing to come, Qin Shaoyou still doesn't dare to ask for it, he has always known the truth that soldiers are not expensive, the more people, sometimes it adds to the chaos, Hangu Pass is not suitable for arranging a large number of military horses to fight, and the competition for the pass is not useful by relying on a large number of people. What's more, once these people come, they will inevitably ask for a sky-high price when they break through the customs in the future, and even a group of people will be a headache when they fish in troubled waters in the customs.

Therefore, Qin Shaoyou refused all the requests to help in the war, and now Qin Shaoyou, to be precise, just wants legitimacy and momentum.

To deal with the Wei family's court, legitimacy is the most important, the reason why the court is the court is because everyone recognizes, the same reason, if everyone recognizes the second prince, then why is this Longmen Palace not the court?

As for the momentum, it's just for scaring people. The Wei family retreated to Guanzhong, and now the world is begging for Wei, are you afraid, do you still dare to follow the Wei family to do more injustice, and do you dare to act for the tiger? Do you still have the confidence to shout in Chang'an City to exterminate Qin Shaoyou and kill the rest of the party?

To be a man, you always have to leave a line, everyone will understand, no matter how close you are to the Wei family. Regardless of whether your today is because of the Wei family's support, but the more fierce you shout today, the more you leave no room for improvement, and when Qin Shaoyou enters the pass, there will be no room for maneuver, then Qin Shaoyou pardoned the governor of the Wei family, and is even willing to surrender and rebel, but this does not mean that you are welcome to continue to die.

Essentially. The two sides of the war do not necessarily rely on the number of troops, nor on who has more money and food, to some extent. What you compare is faith, and faith is more precious than gold. When Luoyang is full of confidence, more people are willing to work for Qin Shaoyou, because everyone knows. Serving Qin Shaoyou may be greatly rewarded, and shedding blood for His Royal Highness King Wei today will be worry-free in this life.

The same thing. Guanzhong lost confidence there, even if there are more Wei family soldiers and horses in Hangu Pass than the rebels outside the city, but there are still many people who have begun to leave a way back for themselves, such as some people who are indignantly shouting to exterminate the Qin thieves, and now there is suddenly no sound, some people who still want to rely on the Wei family to get glory and wealth, at this time they can't help but weigh it, after all, the risk of this wealth is too big, who can guarantee that what you get today is wealth, but what you get tomorrow is the destruction of the family?

Even the many soldiers on the wall of Hangu Pass, I'm afraid it's not much better, they are willing to work the one hand, it is due to some kind of inertia, after all, they are soldiers, they eat salary, and naturally they should work hard. And another layer of thought, I am afraid that it is to kill the enemy and make meritorious service, but when the rebel bullet cannot be suppressed, and even it is only a matter of time before it enters the Guanzhong, then what is the meaning of the so-called killing the enemy and making meritorious service?

The characteristics of the forbidden army are different from those of other military horses, such as the former government soldiers, the government soldiers were often recruited locally, so once the battlefield is local, everyone still knows to defend their villagers, after all, their families and clansmen are behind them, and escaping from the battle is equivalent to abandoning their wives and children.

However, the forbidden army is drawn from soldiers and horses from all over the world, although they are all elite, but they are defending other people's hometowns in Hangu Pass, which has a completely different meaning.

In Hangu Pass, the morale of the army has fluctuated, and even a lot of deserters have begun to appear, and for a while, many military attaches have nothing to do, because everyone is human, and the feelings of those soldiers, how can they not empathize, in just a few days, it is said that hundreds of thousands of Wei family troops were killed without leaving a piece of armor, and even those Wei family governors have turned against each other in order to survive, do they want to stay here for no reason to die?

Not to mention, now that all the governors of the world have raised the banner of anti-Wei, except for this pass, the imperial court can no longer restrain any place, isolated and helpless, although there are many passes in this pass, but how long can it hold on behind closed doors? If it goes on like this, it will be over sooner or later, so wouldn't it be in vain to shed blood and sweat here, and maybe even the rebels will have to retaliate when they enter the pass, and at that time, how will they deal with themselves?

The military attachés have no mind, and there are more and more rumors among the soldiers, which is nothing less than a catastrophe for Wei Xuanzhen, since the Wei family has been in power, Wei Xuanzhen has not slept well, and now, he is becoming more and more uneasy.

There are too many people to complain about in his heart, he complains about his daughter, why does he have so many ambitions, and what is wrong with An Ansheng being a queen? He complained that most of the children in the clan were unproductive, and there were still some people who were drunk and dreaming of death, and he complained that Wei Chenliang and these people dared to turn their backs on the family.

However, these complaints do not seem to be of much use, because no matter how many complaints there are, they will not help the matter at hand.

On the contrary, at this time, the instability in the army made him even more worried, although at this time, the imperial court began to make wishes again, and many dukes and marquis also gave it, and even an unknown partial general actually became a marquis, but this is just drinking to quench thirst.

Zhang Jin has been non-stop recently, and he will worry about the affairs of the army every day, Wei Xuanzhen is satisfied with this son-in-law, but at the same time, he began to defend again.

Now people's hearts are separated from their stomachs, and no one can tell.

Even Wei Chenliang and others voted for Qin Shaoyou, what does this mean? This not only means that even the people of the Wei family are not reliable, but the most important thing is that Wei Chenliang and these people can get Qin Shaoyou's understanding, so what will other people think?

The Wei family is at ease with Zhang Jin because Zhang Jin is also the son-in-law of the Wei family anyway, and he shares weal and woe with the Wei family. In the future, Qin Shaoyou led his troops to kill the pass, and Zhang Jin's good days will come to an end, so he has to fight hard for the Wei family, but now it seems that the situation is completely different, at least for Zhang Jin, he has every reason to rebel, since Qin Shaoyou bought his daughter, it is obvious that many of the Wei family's protégés and former officials are no longer so reliable.

It seems that this time. Everyone is suspicious of others, even the closest ones, and everyone seems to be worried, worried about their future fate.

In today's situation, even Wei Xuanzhen is faintly guessing in his heart that if at this time, if the Shence Army and the Fifth Army Battalion under the city attack Hangu Pass. How long Hanguguan can hold out, he doesn't have the slightest confidence.

But...... It seems that the only thing that makes him happy is that Qin Shaoyou under the city has not made any movement, which is good. There was no movement at all, they built a high city debt outside the Guan, and they had a posture of confrontation for ten or eight years, which seemed to be for Guanzhong. It has nothing to do with Qin Shaoyou.

What is Qin Shaoyou's idea, and what does he want to do?

Wei Xuanzhen didn't know, and he didn't know even more. At this moment, Qin Shaoyou was in his camp, and in addition to arguing with those governors, he seemed to be more interested in building waterways and opening up canals.

………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………

The map drawn with Shu brocade was spread out like this, and Qin Shaoyou looked very satisfied with this map that had been drawn by many people with countless thoughts and efforts.

Although he didn't have much idea of the accurate map of later generations, at least he knew very well that this map was very close to his geographical understanding of later generations.

This should be the most accurate map of our time, and there is no one.

Every administrative boundary is almost separated by a white line, so all towns, states, and counties appear very intuitively in front of Qin Shaoyou.

Huainan Huaibei and Jingxiang Seven Towns, under the jurisdiction of forty-two states, one hundred and thirty counties, now all in the pocket, obviously, this is only the first step, although a group of officials have been stationed, but Qin Shaoyou knows very well that his ruling foundation there is still very weak, although those governors are willing to work for Qin Shaoyou, but this does not mean that these people can completely die down.

If you want absolute control, the first problem is traffic, when it doesn't take more than half a month to go back and forth from Luoyang, when the news there can be delivered in three or four days, and Luoyang can quickly respond and counteract, these are really Qin Shaoyou's things.

The original Qin Shi Huang connected the disintegrating world with a gallop, which laid the pattern of great unification, and now it ...... Qin Shaoyou needs to use the canal to connect the towns, and use faster facilities to completely control the seven towns in his own hands, and even, if there is an accident in a certain county, it does not take a month for the imperial court to know about it, and a few months later, to completely calm down the situation, which is obviously completely intolerable for Qin Shaoyou.

The basis of the sub-feudal system comes from the inconvenience of transportation, and the looser county system relies on galloping roads, so Qin Shaoyou needs more convenient tools to invade the counties and pavilions and townships with his ruling power.

Therefore, the canal not only facilitates exchange and commerce, but above all changes in political form.

It is imperative to build the canal on a large scale, which is almost the consensus of the Shence Mansion and even the Council Hall, but how to repair it, to what extent, how much money it is going to spend, and how much manpower it is going to recruit are the key points of everyone's debate.

Obviously, this kind of game has begun, the first to cry poor is naturally the Shence Mansion, the meaning of the king is very obvious, he is very poor now, at most this year will squeeze out 25 million yuan, obviously the council is extremely dissatisfied with this, especially those businessmen who are covered in chicken blood, obviously think that this is far from enough, there are more than 2 million people in the seven towns, which means that once they are accommodated, there will be a broader market, more abundant labor, new business opportunities, and more land and mountains to provide raw materials.

It's just that if the canal can't be built there, or if the canal is progressing slowly, it won't be easy to use these things.

Therefore, almost everyone in the council hall is a crazy canal pioneer, of course...... The most important thing is that it is not their money to build the canal, but they are the ones who can get convenience and benefits, which is one of the biggest reasons.

There is a solution in the council hall, the Shence Mansion can issue bonds for this, use the money village, to build the canal, and some people even put forward a bold proposal, simply issue a debt of 100 million, and the canals in each county will be built at the same time, the councillor who put forward this suggestion is said to be engaged in iron trading, and the intention can be imagined, once the canal is opened everywhere, the tools required are astronomical, think about it, how many people need to recruit this Shence Mansion, and how many iron tools need to be prepared.

This person is not a thing.

Qin Shaoyou was frightened, daring to love this benevolent brother who had gone crazy in order to do his business.

100 million, plus all kinds of interest, God knows how many numbers, Shence Mansion is obviously to prepare for the rhythm of bankruptcy in the future.

Of course, Qin Shaoyou would not dare to do this kind of rash thing, his psychological figure was roughly maintained at about 50 million guan, plus the more than 20 million guan that the Shence Mansion could embezzle, it was almost possible to connect the main population gathering places of the seven towns at the fastest speed, but this matter could not be delayed, and Yang Wulian, the foreman of the big contract, must be allowed to explore the counties first.

After so many canals have been built, Yang Wulian has become more comfortable with the construction of canals, presumably this is not a problem.
