"This is a ramp." Sun Qing is well-read and knowledgeable, known as a prodigy, and has read many unique ancient books treasured by the Zhaowang Palace for three years in the Taishi Bureau. ”

Yin Ji knew a little about the geography at this time, so she thought for a while and asked: "The name of Bao Valley and Slope Valley comes from Bao Shui and Slope Valley?" ”

"Exactly."

Yin Cheng was thoughtful.

Baoshui is a tributary of Bashui, which is the largest river in the world and the largest tributary of the Lan River.

In the same way, Xishui is a tributary of Yushui, and Yushui is the largest river in the world and the largest tributary of Cangjiang.

That is to say, the Baochuan Road is not only a traffic artery, opening up the western Yongzhou in Kyushu, and the southwest border Rongzhou that is not included in Kyushu, but also the closest place to the Lan River and the Cangjiang River, close to the two river valleys The distance is less than five miles, and there is only a gentle slope separating each other.

From both a geographical and a military point of view, there is no doubt that it is strategic.

Why is the "qi" different here? Could it be because the Lan River and the Cangjiang River are adjacent to each other?

Yin Ji pondered for a moment, and then asked: "I remember that when Father Zeng was there, he ordered Wuxin Hou to destroy Min, and then ordered Ying Hou to repair the slope, which lasted for more than 40 years. This is a river valley, and the terrain is still flat, why did it take so long to build? ”

Marquis Wuxin was originally the ancestor of Sun Boji and Sun Qing, and he was familiar with this family history of glory.

"The princess doesn't know that this part of the road is quite smooth. But further on, there are high cliffs and cliffs. Decades ago, the only way to cross that cliff was to climb like an ape. Ying Hou to the cave mountain as a hole, insert wood as a beam, pave the wooden board for the pavilion, full 40 years, the party to connect the passage road, so that the slope road becomes a post road. ”

As soon as these words came out, Biao Wanzi and Sun Boji, as well as several palace people who were accompanying them in the car, were all colorless.

Sun Qing's implication is that there is a section of the slope road built on the cliff? They're going to walk on the edge of a cliff!

What if the boardwalk collapses? The cliff is deep, once you fall, people will become flesh, and there is no possibility of survival!

Yin Ji read the blood.

With the productivity of this era, if you want to accomplish such a great cause, you can only rely on human life to fill it.

The problem is that she remembers that Zhao Ke built more than one road from Yongzhou to Rongzhou, collectively referred to as "plank road". It is as famous as the "Chi Road" all over the country, the "Straight Road" in the north, and the "Ping Road" in the southeast.

Among them, the most famous are the Twelve, known as the "Twelve Paths", which have been used for thousands of years.

Therefore, she paused for a moment before asking, "Is this the only way to enter Minjun?" ”

"Back to the princess, there are also Jialing Dao, Meridian Dao and Stone Snake Dao." Sun Qing replied, "But the slope is the shortest, best and safest way to go. ”

Four boardwalks.

Yin Ji knew that King Zhao of all dynasties had a very serious obsessive-compulsive disorder, but it was particularly obvious in Yin Changying.

They believe that "twelve" is the holy number of Zhao, so all the plans of Zhaoguo, from the number of counties to the number of staircases, are all multiples of "twelve".

If you can't make up twelve, then four or six.

Since there are already four plank roads, which are barely enough, then according to the practice of Zhaoguo, even after dominating the world, the plank road should be mainly repaired?

But tinkering doesn't mean you're not dead!

It seems that the cultivation of "witches" is indeed imminent, otherwise, according to the habits of Zhao Kingdom, it is necessary to build a road in the next place in order to transport military rations, how many people will die in the process?

It's like entering Minjun this time, if Yin Ji doesn't come, just relying on the 100,000 criminals Chengdan, I'm afraid that hundreds or thousands of people will die on the road, and this is because of the laws of Zhaoguo, if the people die more than a certain percentage, the officials in charge of escorting will be unlucky.

Without this rule, more than half of the people would have died on the road.

But even if you are lucky enough not to die on the road, when you go to repair the river embankment, few will survive.

Yin Ji's heart is very heavy.

Soon, another thing came to her mind.

She remembered that their team didn't have much food.

Of course, she and the palace people had enough food, and there were a lot of sauces, salted meat, salted fish, etc. Make sure she is treated like a princess even when she's on the road.

This is Yin Changying's personal order, and the Shaofu is ready, so naturally there will be no difference.

But there are not many grain trucks left!

She didn't think of this problem before, because they would stop in the county on the road, and the local merchants and wealthy families would supply them with food in a similar way of half-selling and half-giving.

Can ...... now She immediately asked, "How long will it take?" ”

Sun Qing couldn't answer.

Yin Cheng thought about it for a while, too, it is estimated that there are few people in this team who have actually walked this road, so she decided to ask a different way: "How long is the slope of the slope?" ”

Sun Qing thought for a moment, and said uncertainly: "It should be less than a thousand miles." ”

Then it is calculated in thousands of miles, and at this time, one mile is almost four hundred meters, thousands of miles...... With such a huge team, it is no wonder that Yin Changying stipulated that the time limit from Lulong City to Minjun County is eighty days!

This ramp alone can consume more than half a month!

Yin Ji couldn't help frowning: "Is there enough food?" ”

As soon as Sun Qing heard this, he knew that the princess didn't know about these trivial matters at all, so he explained: "The ministers have brought enough dry food for eighty days. ”

What the?

Yin Ji was shocked.

Do you want to go on a business trip this year, or do you bring your own dry food?

She immediately asked, "Soldiers also bring their own food?" ”

Sun Qing felt strange, otherwise? Do you expect the government to send it? So he nodded and replied, "Naturally." ”

Yin Ji only felt incredulous: "What about wartime? ”

Sun Qing bowed his head and was silent.

As a member of the Taishi Bureau, he is also a "scholar", and he still knows what he can and can't say.

The laws of Zhaoguo are there, and the common people say a few words about the affairs of the court, at most, they will be fined, or punished for several months of hard work. However, if the nobles and ministers dare to make a big statement and discuss the government in vain, it is likely that they will "commit suicide" or even be punished.

What he can't say, Biao Wanzi can say, she is the queen of the gate, knows all about these things, and has the responsibility of teaching the princess: "According to the Zhao law, in wartime, military rations are levied from all counties, and weapons are distributed by the Shaofu, but clothes must be equipped by themselves." ”

Yin Ji didn't know what to say.

After a while, she asked, "What about the conscription?" Do you also bring your own dry food and clothing? ”

All three people in the room nodded.

Conscripting people to do hard labor that may die at any time, even if the clothes and shoes are not distributed, they don't even care about food? What kind of world is this!

No wonder the people are bitter; Death, the people suffer.

Even in times of peace and prosperity, heavy forced labor was inevitable, and landlords desperately engaged in land annexation, trying by all means to turn the people into slaves.

For the common people of this era, the days are only bad and worse, and they are very different from the future generations!

The moment the anger surged into her heart, Yin Ji was extremely calm.

She knows that how to persuade Yin Changying to change this system is of course very important. But whatever means she uses, there must be a premise, that is, food must not be as precious as it is now.

Only when the output of grain goes up, the price is so low that anyone can afford it, and there is even a surplus, can Yin Changying nod his head.

Because at that time, people will be more important than food.

After understanding the seriousness of the matter, Yin Ji immediately dispelled the desire to stay for a few more days, probed the heart of the Praise Slope, and just wrote down the strangeness of this place.

All her thoughts have flown to Minjun.

Yin Ji has decided to use the fastest speed to completely turn Minjun, which is thousands of miles away in Zeguo, into a "country of abundance".
