Moreover, most of the paper produced in large quantities was shipped to Luoyang, or Chang'an, the eastern capital, and then distributed, and a large number of chickens, ducks and pigs were also caught on ships at the wharf, and then transported to these two places, or after crossing the river, transported to Jinyang.

In addition, there are bowls and dishes made of ceramics, which are also sold in large quantities to various places, as for other building materials such as coal, lime, cement, bricks and tiles, the public use is not enough, so there has been no export.

"This is the road made of concrete, right?" Queen Dou rode a horse, looking at the concrete road under her that was about two feet wide and stretched from the dock to these factory areas, and her face was shocked.

"Yes, but unfortunately the current cement production is still insufficient, and now, in Hancheng County, there are only 75 miles of such roads." Ben Gongzi said with a very modest expression.

Well, from the coal mine to the factory to the yard, this road is a total of twenty-five miles, and from Hancheng County to the wharf is seven miles, and then from Hancheng County to the factory area is ten miles, and there are more than twenty miles of road directly to the valley where Ben Gongzi is herding horses and the wasteland purchased by Ben Gongzi, just in that area, the reason why I bought the wasteland there is to hide the secret in that valley.

As for the other roads, they are still being designed, and a road that extends directly to the east has been identified, but it is difficult to carve out a wide and easy road in that area, but when the gunpowder thing is made, everything will be much easier.

Because I have now purchased a large number of saltpeter and sulfur, and stockpiled it, well, saltpeter is used by alchemists in this era, and it is also a medicinal thing, and in this era, there are three places that produce nitrate, one is Shudi, that is, Sichuan, called Shu nitrate, one is produced in Shanxi called salt nitrate, and there is also a place in Shandong that is also produced, called soil nitrate.

Now, Ben Gongzi is ready to make gunpowder at the right time, of course, it will only be used in the civil aspect, and as for weapons, I think it is not yet time to use gunpowder, because Ben Gongzi has not rebelled, and there is no suitable tool to make gunpowder a terrible weapon of destruction.

I hope this thing will be used on people of different races in the future, not on the heads of the Chinese nation.

"I can't imagine that it's only been a few months, and it's almost unrecognizable here, the buildings here, it seems that there was only one repaired building at that time, and now it seems that there are really a lot, and this large area seems to be full of such buildings." Li Yaoguang looked at those low-rent houses and said excitedly. "You are really powerful, the world's capable officials, I'm afraid no one can match you."

Her eyes were full of excitement, and the clenched fists expressed her inner excitement, she was very proud of me, from her expression, her eyes, and even her words, she could see that she was extremely proud and proud of her fiancé to have such a ability to surpass her predecessors.

"Virtuous nephew, virtuous nephew, what kind of person are you?" After seeing all this, the exhausted mother went to rest with excitement and exhaustion, but everyone else stayed in my study, admiring the five ship models placed there, four of which were designed by Ben Gongzi himself, and now there is one more model of the car and ship presented by the old boatman.

Queen Dou admired the model of a flying clipper ship with a length of about one meter and two and a width of nearly twenty centimeters on the desk. He sighed softly. "In the past, the old body felt that you were a person who could be literate and martial, both knowledgeable and strategic, and knew the general trend of the world, and then, your business methods made the old body and your uncle dumbfounded, and now, your branch of the Quanjude Hotel has opened to the north and south of the river, up and down the Yellow River."

"Now, you have only been in Hancheng County for more than half a year, but you have achieved such achievements that others are afraid of ten years, no, even if it is a hundred years of work, it is difficult to achieve, all because of you." Queen Dou's eyes stared at Ben Gongzi with burning eyes.

Everyone else looked at me as a matter of course, and even Li Yuanji and the fifth child of my family looked at me with admiration.

"One by one, one by one, let the old body see it in his eyes and be shocked in his heart, hehe, let's go, don't think that the old body is praising you, the old body is just telling the truth. And today's chaos, a few days ago, there were chaotic troops plundered to the suburbs of Luoyang, the eastern capital, and in the end, although they were defeated by the imperial army, everyone knows that there is no peaceful place in the world. Queen Dou sighed lightly.

"Even in a rich place like Guanzhong, isn't it the same as the smoke everywhere? It's just that compared to other places, Guanzhong is relatively quiet. Tang Jian interjected, stroked his long beard, and his eyes narrowed. If there is no peace today, it is really as expected when the virtuous brother and our brothers drank and talked happily that day, the Son of Heaven marched north to Goguryeo, the Great Sui Dynasty, and there was no more peace. ”

"What happened again?" My son's heart couldn't help jumping, could it really be that something had happened?

Tang Jian stroked his long beard, shook his head and said: "Just four days ago, Liu Jia, the thief marshal of Yan'an County, claimed to be the emperor, and the founding year was called the Great World, and the surrounding counties and hundreds of thousands of people responded together. ”

"More than 100,000 people? Four days ago? Why did Chang'an receive the news first and I didn't? "My son was indeed greatly surprised, grandma's, Yan'an, that place is definitely not more than two hundred kilometers away from my Hancheng County, and there is such a large group of bandits in such a close place, damn

"Hancheng County has many mountains and few places, and the transportation is inconvenient, and from Yan'an to Chang'an, there is a straight road for galloping horses, so when this happens over there, Chang'an will naturally be able to know at the first time. This is also the reason why the court will give you such a weapon armor battle for nothing. "Yang Shidao told me the reason why the court was so generous to get more than 1,000 sets of armor and 2,000 spears to this son.

"Brother Xian, you are relieved, now Chang'an has sent 20,000 elites, and they are rushing to Yan'an, at most three or five days, when there is news, with this strong army, then Liu Jia will definitely not have the heart to find your trouble." Yang Shidao said with a smile.

The problem is that his settlement has no effect on this son's fart. Although there are 400 miles of land, the problem is that this prince doesn't know whether the emperor has attacked Hancheng County in the history of Ludao, not to mention, in the past half a year, the reputation of Hancheng County has gradually spread.

Everyone knows that it is easy to find a job here, there is a job, and there is food, so that many displaced people around take the initiative to come over the mountains and mountains, since even those ordinary people know the road, I believe that the emperor Liu Jia is no longer a second, and it is absolutely impossible to let go of this piece of fat in Hancheng County.

In other words, the 20,000 elites in Chang'an can be cleaned up by Liu Jia, but if they can't be cleaned up, I'm afraid that this buddy will come to me for trouble. Being able to accommodate the homeless people proves that Hancheng County has food, and with food, it can recruit troops and buy horses.

Hearing Ben Gongzi's analysis, everyone's faces couldn't help but become solemn. Queen Dou nodded suddenly, frowned deeply, and said in a deep voice: "Indeed, now Hancheng County is also famous, and those homeless people are running here, which shows that Hancheng County at least has food and population." Moreover, because Hancheng County was located on the bank of the Yellow River in the past, it was difficult to travel by land, so in this area, the court did not pay much attention to it, and there was not even a post station, let alone soldiers and horses? With these points alone, it will definitely make Liu Jia's heart move. ”

"So what's going on now? Or, Brother Xian, you go to the court and ask the court to send troops to help? For the military, Yang Shidao, who couldn't even count half a bottle of water, hurriedly said a bad idea.

"Brother Tai, compared with Hancheng County, is Chang'an important, or is Hancheng County important, even if it is not compared with Chang'an, compared with Yan'an County, Yan'an County, which has more than 38,000 households, is important? Or is it important to have a household of only 6,000 in Hancheng County? Li Yaoguang blinked his eyes and explained to Yang Shidao how bad his idea was.

Yang Shidao suddenly patted his forehead and smiled self-deprecatingly. "That is the case, Hancheng County, I'm afraid there will be real danger."

"The militia recruited now is only more than 1,200 young and strong, which is still connected to my family's 300 parts, and now, I still have 300 parts in my hand, even if I add these 300, it is only 1,500 people." This son stroked his forehead with his hand, and his sister's actually had such an incident.

"Yuan Fang, bring the map." Let's go, it's impossible for my son to give up this piece of land that has been run with great difficulty, just don't come to mess with me, if you come to provoke, this son is by no means a fuel-efficient lamp.

Soon, a huge map about five feet long and four feet wide was placed in the study, well, this is a topographic map of Hancheng County with about the height, whether it is the county seat, the village, or the road, or even those unknown mountain slopes, all drawn on the map.

It is obvious that there is a winding road, stretching from Hanxian County to Yichuan County, and Yichuan County is nearly 300 miles away from Yan'an, and from Hancheng County to Yichuan County, it is only more than 170 miles.

"There are few soldiers, you can't fight, you can only defend, fortunately, Hancheng County is mountainous, and there are only two roads in and out, one in the northwest leads to Yichuan, and the other leads to Gaoyang in the southwest. Although the Yellow River was able to pass through boats, it was separated by the Longmen Gate, and they wanted to invade Hancheng County by water, unless they were able to bypass the Longmen. Queen Dou quickly understood the value of this map, and after studying the map, Queen Dou took the lead in expressing her opinion.

"The road out of Hancheng County is not smooth, if it is here, between the two mountains, put a city plug, it must be a husband, and it will not be opened." Queen Dou nodded to a place on the map with a great general's demeanor.
