Chapter 120: Exploration (1)

This time, except for those ghosts and ghosts lurking on the mountain, it is to clear the internal troubles, but the cost is also quite large, at least the ten years of accumulation of the disciples going down the mountain are empty.

Fulongting is so dangerous, the Dao vein has been passed down to this day, and there is not much experience gained, after all, the dynasty is only two generations of Qin and Han.

The death of Qin II directly destroyed the Yin and Yang family, and affected the Huang Lao school, and finally several families converged to achieve Taoism.

Hundreds of years of savings, the Taoist Zhang Daojun, want to establish the Huangtian Dao Court, and then accumulate for decades, Jiazi started to do things, taking advantage of the great luck, one door and three Daojun appeared, if it were not for Zhang Daojun's intention in the Huangtian Dao Court, I am afraid that at that time, I am afraid that I can directly use the great luck to achieve the land fairy realm.

Then the Huangtian Dao Court's plan failed, and under the counterattack, so that today's Dao Vein is still suffering from the cause and effect of the year, you must know that the Dao Vein should have preached in all directions, and it also has this ability, but at this time, most of the power is hidden in the Cave Heaven, and the cause and effect are too heavy.

I'm afraid that it will be a few decades before I can walk the world, but now that the general trend has changed, I can't allow the Dao veins to continue to hide in the cave.

Hanzhong County, but it is becoming more and more prosperous, one is the main road, with the official road unblocked, and constantly expanding, this originally dangerous Shudi mountain road, finally has a road that can be driven.

Of course, this is also related to the application of lime, which can be mixed with gravel to pave the road, making it easier to build the mountain road, and extending to Hanzhong County, and from Hanzhong County to the east and west of the two avenues.

The mountain road to the north has not been built in a big way, this is the offensive route, but at this time this is the defensive route, this dangerous mountain road, after the construction, then the Wei army can attack along the mountain road.

Or gradually build the stronghold first, and then build the stronghold after the mountain road, the stronghold is put with grain, grass, ordnance, the Wei army small force attack, the stronghold can be swallowed, large force attack, but it is difficult to break the stronghold, can wait for reinforcements to arrive.

The mountain roads repaired in the rear allowed reinforcements to arrive quickly, while the unbuilt mountain roads in front could delay the Wei army's attack.

If you wait for the future attack, these strongholds can also guard the grain road, transport grain and grass, each stronghold is a hundred people to town, now in Hanzhong to the various places of several mountain roads (Qishan Road, Chencang Road, Bao Slope Road, Fu Luo Road, Meridian Road, etc.), are building strongholds, basically more than a month, the front is constantly moving forward.

The construction of hundreds of thousands of miles of passages in a mountain range that stretches for more than 3,000 miles, is definitely a major project of this era.

The Qinling Mountains are the majestic mountains that have a profound impact on today, and they are the "great obstacles in the world" in Sima Qian's mouth, and the barriers of the Qinling Mountains will naturally be opened up by the "super project", so these open roads will inevitably be controlled.

Although the Yan and Han dynasties inherited the heritage of the two Han Dynasty for hundreds of years, but the technical level of the craftsmen to build large projects has been very high, but it is still far from the same as the infrastructure level of later generations.

Nowadays, we can only rely on the natural mountain roads opened up by the great power of heaven and earth, and then strive to open up more convenient passages.

In the Qinling Mountains that stretch for more than 3,000 miles, from west to east, the Qinling mountain roads built in different periods now include Qishan Road, Lianyun Road, Chencang Road (Ancient Road, Sanguan Road), Bao Slope Road, Fu Luo Road (Luogu Road), Meridian Road, Yugu Road (Kugu Road), Lanwu Road (Wuguan Road, Shangyu Mountain Road), these mountain roads are the channels that communicate Guanlong and Hanzhong, Guanzhong and Jingxiang.

Affected by the topography and construction level, the Qinling Mountain Road is all along the river valley, the terrain is relatively gentle, the river bank width is large, and the road is a gentle flat road; Steep terrain, watershed sections, steep slopes, or artificially lime masonry, stretch along the mountain.

When there are not enough banks on either side of the valley and the cliffs are encountered, square stone caves are dug into the rock mass of the cliffs, and a spine made of stainless steel is inserted, and the other end of the beam is made of lime and bricks to build pillars from the bottom as supports, and the top is covered with wooden planks.

The construction of the mountain road from the beginning is the first major project of the Ministry of Industry, even more than the construction projects in various places, with the distribution of livestock, more and more leisure time, the civilians in the states and counties have nothing to do, and there are many people who can not go to the barracks, these people come to do engineering work, the wages issued by the Ministry of Industry at this time are not high, but for the people who served for free in the past, it is already a great gift.

This mountain road is very important in Yang Yi's vision, the current strength of the Han family, if it is after next year, then within two or three years, it can almost lay down Guanzhong, and then, it is natural to move the capital here, so the contact with Shu is to rely on these mountain roads.

Those who walk through the mountain road and step on the plank road are not only soldiers and horses, but also merchants, dart teams, ordinary people, and literati who may linger here; The transportation of the Qinling Mountains must rush up, and in addition to the war, it is also the main route for the exchange and communication of personnel, materials and culture.

The mountain road that connects the north and south of the Qinling Mountains is more than 1,000 miles long, and the length of the mountain road is about 500 miles and above, and the construction of these mountain roads will consume a lot of manpower, financial and material resources, so they are undoubtedly a large-scale civil engineering.

Connecting Longdi and Hanzhong is the Qishan Road, which starts from Tianshui and ends at Hanzhong through Qishan, with a total length of more than 1,000 miles, and some of the routes coincide with Chencang Road.

There are five mountain roads connecting Guanzhong and Hanzhong, and if you count the Lianyun Road connecting Chencang Road and Baochuan Road, it is six.

The first is Chencang Road, which is the mountain road from Hanzhong to Chencang, with a total length of more than 1,000 miles; The second is the Baochuan Road, the mountain road from Hanzhong to Meixian, with a total length of 500 miles.

To the east, it is the third mountain road, which is the Fu Luo Road, which starts from Hanzhong to the main road of Wugong County in the heart of Guanzhong, with a total length of nearly 500 miles; The fourth is the famous Meridian Road, which has been opened as a post road for a short time, but its traffic function is continuous.

During the Qin and Han dynasties, materials were transported from Hanzhong to Xianyang or Chang'an, Kyoto, and the ramp road and the old road were mostly taken, and the meridian road was not taken.

Gaozu Liu Bang went to Hanzhong and sent Zhang Liang to burn the meridian plank road, and in the first five years of Emperor Ping, Wang Mang ordered to repair the meridian road and set up the meridian pass.

To the east of the meridian road, it is the Yugu Road, which is still only a drawing, because this is a mountain road from the three eastern counties, and the conditions for building it are not sufficient.

As for the Blue Martial Dao, it is actually where the Wuguan is located, and now it is still held by the Wei people.

In fact, most of these mountain roads have already been opened up, and now they are only built on the basis of their predecessors.

The process of Chinese people moving towards civilization is not the process of isolation, but the process of communicating with each other, in which the passage plays an important role, so no matter how high the mountain and the water are, the passage can also appear, and the Qinling Mountains can not stop the ancestors from communicating with each other, these passages are often the routes of tribal migration, military conquest, and business travel.

Since the Western Zhou Dynasty was divided into scattered countries on the south bank of Weishui, the "Zhou Road" was opened up at that time, that is, the Chencang Road; The appearance of the Qinling Mountains may have been before the establishment of the Western Zhou Dynasty, and it is said that when the Zhou destroyed the Shang, there were ethnic groups from Bashu who participated in the war.

In this way, the later King of Zhou You took the praise slope to attack the country and got a beautiful woman for Bao.

Historically, the Qinling Mountains have always been a barrier "self-esteem", the mountain road that crosses the north-south barrier must be the most important, so the Qinling Mountain Road yesterday was a lot of war, and the turbulent period of the mountain road was mostly for the people who fled. 127

Since the Qin State seized the Hanzhong of the Chu State, four years later, Sima Cuo led the Qin army to cross the Qinling Mountains from the Bao Slope Road, and used Hanzhong as a springboard to attack the Shu land, and the Qin people on the cliff of the Bao Slope Road "the cave mountain is a hole, the wood is inserted into the beam, and the wooden plank is connected to the trestle pavilion", so that the Bao Slope Road "is a thousand miles of plank road, leading to the Shu Han Dynasty", and there is a "so that the world is afraid of Qin", which has accumulated sufficient material foundation for the Qin State to unify the world.

In the "Ode to the Stone Gate" of the Zhong Han Dynasty, it was said that "Gaozu was ordered, Xingzhong in Hanzhong, and the road was made by the meridian", but it was said that when Gaozu and King Xiang competed for hegemony, the frustrated Gaozu led his people to take the meridian road into Hanzhong, destroyed the road, and then burned the Baochuan Road, which not only confused Xiang Yu, but also cut off the passage of Guanzhong to attack Hanzhong in the south.

In the face of the towering Qinling Mountains, the prime minister took great painstaking efforts, from sending troops to Qishan to the starry Wuzhang Plain, the way witnessed the struggle of the Yan and Han armies in front of the Qinling Mountains, even if the prime minister had the talent of jealousy, on the rugged Qinling mountain road, because of the poor transportation of grain and grass, he also had to face the reality of the failure of the Northern Expedition.

Forty years ago, Ma Tan lost the street pavilion, the Yan and Han armies retreated, and burned the plank road on the Bao ramp road on the retreat road; And six years later, Zhuge Liang died of illness in Wuzhangyuan, Cao Shuang had "a big death of 60,000 or 70,000 people, from Luogu into" started the battle of Shu, but also found nothing, to the year before last Zhonghui from the slope valley, Luogu respectively, but also in the end fell short.

It was also the fact that the construction of this mountain road was not completed, and the Wei army crossed the mountain road, and it was too late to transport grain and grass.

This is why Yan Han is now accumulating time, so as to prepare for the Northern Expedition next year, but this is the consensus of Shu Land, just like forty years ago, everyone knew that the Northern Expedition!

Now that the people of Yan and Han are recovering, this Hanzhong County is naturally becoming more and more prosperous, and no one is afraid of the Wei people who may call, so it will gradually recover.

Today, the widened streets are still full of people, and new shops are opening one after another.

No, a new restaurant was opened, originally because of the lack of grain and the ban on alcohol, but now it has been released, the grain of Shu, has been several seasons of bumper harvest, plus the official grain at a high price, from Wei and Wu continue to have merchants to sell grain.

There is no shortage of grain in the Han Kingdom, and the government does not prohibit buying and selling, and the grain is collected at a high price, and naturally it is sold at a high price, because free forced labor is prohibited, and with wages, even if the grain is sold at a high price, food and clothing can be basically guaranteed.

If there are two people working in a family, then there is still money to spare, in this case, the restaurant will not be banned, but it is a place for wealthy people to spend more money.

A newly opened restaurant, famous for its dishes, I don't know where to invite the chef, the service is exquisite.

In particular, the three-storey building was built, which was already a high-rise building at this time, because in the city, a five-storey building was built in the middle of the line, and the governor's yamen was four-storey, and the three floors were already considered high.

Every day, there are a lot of guests on this floor.

It was noon, and there were two people sitting at a table.

The two of them sat opposite each other, their faces not obvious, but they both had things in their hearts.

"Senior brother, after this period of time, what do you think of the situation, Your Majesty? It has been explored here, but there are no cultivators, and you and I will not be known to outsiders when we speak, and you will tell the truth. ”

Because they came late and had left after dinner, there were empty seats on both sides, and some of the guests were far away from them, and it was not a crowded place like the post house, so there was no need to worry about the conversation being known.

The person who spoke was a disciple sent by the Qingcheng Dao Vein to Yan Han to recultivate, and it was Chong'an who was sitting opposite the recultivation.

The two of them had nothing to do today, so they came out for a turn and happened to walk to the newly opened restaurant, where they had already heard that the food here was very good, so they came up to taste it.

Different from the senior brother's recultivation indifferent, Chong'an, although he is a cultivator, is more fierce in temperament, but his temperament is still straightforward, and what he has seen and heard everywhere during this period of time has made him understand that assisting the new master of Yanhan this time is indeed a correct choice.

This new lord of the Yan Han Dynasty, all kinds of whimsical ideas, and wanton reform, but failed to make the upper and lower opposition, this means is very remarkable, in terms of martial arts, it is even more defeated in several battles to strengthen Wei, and now expand the territory and boost the people's hearts, it is even more amazing.

Therefore, seeing that the senior brother asked, he told his feelings truthfully: "Your Majesty is the Holy Lord, according to the trend of today, Yan Han has a great chance to recover." ”

"If only you could think so." Rebuild said happily.

Chong'an suddenly stopped his chopsticks and said hesitantly: "There is something, I don't know if you noticed it, senior brother?" The atmosphere in the inn has been a bit weird lately. ”

"You mean, the potter in the backyard?" This is something that I know about reconstruction.

"It's the little boy of the Tao family, who was mostly angry before, or made a lot of nonsense, but now he is calm, I don't know if it's because I'm too careful, I always feel that something is going to happen, or it has happened."

Chong'an's feelings, Chong Xiu agreed: "It's a pity that we can't know the secret, think about it, this is because the top and bottom have not trusted you and me, these things, you and I don't know, it's better to get some news from other channels, and prepare early." ”

That's exactly what I wanted...... Hey, senior brother, look, the one who passed just now, is it the little son of the Tao family? Chong'an suddenly pointed to the man who had just passed downstairs.

As he spoke, his hand was raised, and a point of light flew down.

Chong Xiu looked down and nodded: "Although it is a change of appearance, the breath is exactly this person." ”

looked up at the junior brother opposite: "Senior brother, your listening worm has been attached?" ”

"Senior brother, rest assured, it has been attached, although this Gu worm is very rare, it should have some value when it is used at this time."

"That's good, but this thing can't be used at will, it can't be used by people who are favored by the dragon qi of the dynasty, and it can't be used on cultivators and atmospheric people, it's a pity for ordinary people to use it, but it's rare to use it." Chong Xiu said with a sigh.

"The Gu worm has followed, the son of the Tao family, he has gone to the Qinglou alone, is it just a pastime?" Then the news came back, which surprised the two.

Things soon took a new turn.
