Chapter 551: This Great River and Mountain

"Chen Shu, how many students are enrolled in medical school? How many students can be useful?"

Qingji asked with squinted eyes.

Hearing this, Bian Que thought for a moment, then bowed down and replied, "Wang, there are about 1,262 students enrolled in the medical school so far."

"As for how many people can be used, this ...... It's hard to say."

"The main thing is to see what the king needs them for."

Qingji held the guardrail with one hand, looked at the sky in the distance, and said with a faint smile: "As a doctor, it is our responsibility to save the dead and help the wounded."

"Chen Shu, the widow won't tell you. The original intention of the widow to set up this medical school in the Jixia Academy did not make it necessary for all students to help the world in the future."

"Now, the world is in great contention, the nations are fighting frequently, and there is almost no happy land in Kyushu in the world!"

After a pause, Qing Ji said meaningfully: "The wars are becoming more frequent and more tragic, and the widows want to use the students of the medical school as the backbone to serve as military doctors and relieve the wounded when they go out with the army."

Qingji had already talked openly and honestly about this matter with Bian Que.

He never thought of himself as a great man.

As the saying goes, if you are poor, you will be good to yourself, and if you are good, you will help the world.

Qingji can declare his benevolence and righteousness to all the people of the world and make generous gestures.

However, the premise must not harm one's own interests!

Bian Que also seemed to have guessed this, and his face remained unchanged.

"If the king is to help the wounded, it is estimated that he can recruit at least a thousand students from the medical school to serve as military doctors."

"Good."

Qingji nodded in approval.

"Chen Zhuan, how much do you know about epidemics?"

"Back to the king, plagues have existed throughout the ages. There are many kinds of plagues, such as plague, insect plague, water plague, and so on."

After pondering for a moment, Bian Que replied, "The minister has some knowledge of some plagues, but he does not dare to guarantee that he will be able to prescribe the right medicine to solve the epidemic......

Bian Que's reply has already satisfied Qingji.

After all, Bian Que is a miracle doctor, but not an immortal.

When the army marched south, Qingji would choose to bring Bian Que with him, so as to deal with all kinds of complex environments and sudden epidemics.

……

In the thirteenth year of King Qingji of Wu, that is, in 501 B.C., the spring began.

Qingji officially set off from Jinling, under the banner of inspecting the six counties of Lingnan, all the way south, passed through Huiji County, and came to Wuling.

The five mountains are soaring and the waves are thin, and the Wumeng is majestic and walks the mud pills......

The five ridges are: Yuecheng Ridge, Du Pang Ridge, Mengzhu Ridge, Qitian Ridge, and Da Yu Ridge.

The location of the five mountains is above the first line of the Nanling mountain system, and there are countless large and small mountains during it.

Those five mountains are particularly famous because the Wu army has already built passes and new roads there.

After the spring ploughing, the state of Wu will officially move south with a large army to crusade against the rebels in Lingnan.

However, Qingji is not in a hurry.

Because he didn't want to delay the spring ploughing and farming.

At this time, the place where Qingji is located is Yuecheng Ridge among the five mountains.

Accompanied by a group of generals, Qingji climbed to the highest point of the pass and overlooked the surroundings.

Within a radius of dozens of miles, almost all of them were in Qingji's unobstructed income.

The umbrella-like towering trees are lush and green, with strange rocks, and rivers and streams crisscrossing the country, outlining a majestic picture.

Qingji lay on the battlement of the city pass with one hand, and under the look around, he couldn't help but feel a heroic spirit.

"How can this great river and mountain not make people nostalgic?"

Qingji said with emotion.

Bo Yan, who was following on the side, hurriedly stepped forward, with a flattering smile on his face, and said, "King, this is the king's rivers and mountains, the rivers and mountains of Wu Kingdom!"

"Yes, this is the inherent territory of my Great Wu."

Qingji slightly bowed

First course.

Xiong Zidan, Xu Menchao and other Wu generals standing behind him couldn't help but feel disdain when they heard Bo Biao's flattery and jealousy.

Very disdainful!

In their opinion, although Bo Yan is capable, he is a talent, talented but not virtuous!

With such a female cadre who is good at sycophants by the king's side, they are always uneasy.

Previously, because of the competition with Gou Jian for Yayu, Bo Ji was demoted to Guilin County as a county guard.

In the past few months in office, Bo Biao's political performance is quite decent.

He did not have any outstanding political achievements, nor did he commit any crimes.

To deal with the Baiyue tribes who occasionally rebelled and had a heart of disobedience, Bo Yan could also pursue the Huairou policy set before Qingji and subdue them one by one.

On the other hand, Gou Jian, who served as the county guard of Nanhai County, as soon as he took office, carried out some reforms vigorously and resolutely, and then swept away the rebellious Baiyue tribes one by one.

Even, those Baiyue tribes who did not rebel have been framed by Gou Jian and forced them to rebel......

Bo Ji and Gou Jian, one is Huairou and the other is iron-blooded.

Comparatively speaking, Qingji is more inclined to iron-blooded means.

It's just that Gou Jian is so forgetful about using his authority as a county guard, and he shows such a strong ability, how can he not make Qingji feel jealous?

Sharp?

Look for death!

"Bo Yu, how is the construction of this new road in Yuecheng Ridge progressing?"

Qingji asked with squinted eyes.

"Returning to the king, the new road of Yuechengling leads directly to Jiujiang County, and it has been connected to the official road of Jiujiang County, but it is just ......."

Bo Yan was a little speechless and stopped.

"Just what?"

"Your Majesty, I beg your pardon."

Bo Yan lowered his head and said, "There are only two official roads leading from my Wu country to the six counties of Lingnan, which are in Yuechengling and Dupangling."

"Yuecheng Ling leads to Jiujiang County, and Dupang Ling leads to Huiji County. The official road stretches for thousands of miles, over the mountains and mountains, and the mountains and rivers are unobstructed."

"However, the mountain road is blocked, and there are not many baggage trucks that can accommodate parallels......

Bo Biao pointed out a more realistic problem.

In fact, Qingji had already discovered this problem when he entered Yuechengling.

Since the conquest of Lingnan and the establishment of six counties, namely Minzhong County, Lujiang County, Cangwu County, Nanhai County, Xiang County and Guilin County, Wu has been building official roads, building bridges and paving roads.

Even opened a huge spiritual canal, so that Wu could quickly reach the land of Lingnan from the mainland.

But, how easy is that to say?

There were no decent explosives in this era, and the explosives used to dig roads did not exist.

Therefore, the official road in the southern part of the Wu Kingdom did not dig a tunnel, but only built an official road that winded the mountain.

Not to mention the time-consuming and laborious process, it will also slow down the marching time of the army, and the baggage troops of logistics supply may not be able to keep up.

"Bo, do you have a solution to this situation?"

Qingji asked suspiciously.

Hearing this, Bo Yu couldn't help but feel happy on his face, and bowed to Qingji and said, "King, digging a tunnel or digging through the mountains will not work."

"Soon after his arrival, the minister inspected the place and found that there was a kind of mountain road built on the edge of a cliff in the middle of nowhere, which could be used as a new official road, and it was eclectic."

"Yuecheng Ridge, Du Pang Ridge, Mengzhu Ridge, Qitian Ridge, Da Yu Ridge, these five ridges, the king can build that kind of mountain road, in order to be prepared!"
