"Bo Yan, the kind of mountain road you are talking about, but the plank road?"

"Exactly!"

Bo Yan replied with an admiring look on his face, "My lord, this kind of mountain road is a narrow road made of holes and trees carved into the cliff face."

"In Lingnan, it is also known as the Pavilion Road and the Compound Road, which may be difficult for cars and horses to pass, but walking is not a problem."

"The minister thinks that for the five mountains, the king may be able to build a plank road."

Bo Biao's idea coincides with Qingji.

The plank road is a great invention in the history of ancient transportation.

In order to pass the road in the deep mountains and valleys, people dig some prismatic holes with utensils in the cliffs isolated by the river, and insert stone or wooden stakes into the holes.

The wooden or stone slabs are laid horizontally on it, which can be used for pedestrians and traffic, which is called a plank road.

In order to prevent these wooden piles and planks from decaying and rotting by the rain, a pavilion (also known as a gallery pavilion) was built at the top of the plank road, which is the pavilion, also known as the pavilion.

The name of the connection is called the road of the pavilion, which is referred to as the plank road.

The construction of the plank road began in the Qin State during the Warring States Period.

Historically, in the third century B.C., the Qin State built a plank road in order to develop the land of Bashu.

As Cai Ze said: The plank road is thousands of miles, leading to Shu Han, so that the world is afraid of Qin.

"Good."

Qingji bowed his head slightly and agreed.

The southern mountains are all over the place, the roads are difficult to travel, and the terrain is almost as complex as Bashu, so it is very suitable to use the plank road as a new official road.

Qingji has the intention to vigorously develop the six counties of Lingnan, so it is necessary to strengthen transportation.

As the saying goes, if you want to get rich, you must first build roads.

How can an economically developed region be without convenient transportation conditions?

……

After inspecting Yuechengling, Qingji's patrol team took a big boat and went south from Lingqu all the way to Panyu.

The Ling Canal flows from east to west, connecting the Haiyang River (the source of the Xiang River, flowing from south to north) in the east of Xing'an County and the Darong River (the source of the Li River, flowing from north to south) in the west of Xing'an County.

There is no doubt that the importance of the Ling Canal is to connect the north and south, and it has played an important role in the grain transshipment of Wu.

After conquering the six counties of Lingnan that year, Qingji ordered the digging of the Ling Canal.

After several years, the huge project of Lingqu was finally completed.

This ancient canal is not the first of its kind in Qingji, but it is also very unique.

After passing through the Lingqu, Qingji's patrol team arrived in Panyu County, Nanhai County.

Panyu County is the place where the county administration of Nanhai County is located, and it is named "Panyu City" because of the Panshan Mountain and Yushan Mountain.

Panyu, that is, modern Guangzhou, has actually had a good foundation since ancient times.

"Historical Records: The Biography of the Goods and Colonies" cloud: "Panyu is also a metropolis", which was one of the nine metropolises in the country at that time.

However, the current Panyu may be too inferior, but it also has the opportunity and qualification to develop and become another first-class city and one of the economic metropolises of Wu.

After arriving in Panyu County, Qingji landed on the bank of the Pearl River.

As the county guard of Nanhai County, Gou Jian hurriedly led the officials of all sizes in the county to the ferry to greet him.

Qingji then boarded his own six-royal carriage and asked Gou Jian to go up and ride in the same carriage with him.

The huge patrol team went all the way to Panyu City.

At this time, in the spacious carriage, Qingji held his chin with one hand and squinted at Gou Jian.

Gou Jian, who was kneeling on the opposite side, was looked at by Qingji's eyes, and couldn't help but break out in cold sweat on his forehead, like sitting on pins and needles.

"Gou Jian, the widow heard that you have only been in Nanhai County for a few months, and you have wiped out dozens of tribes in Baiyue, and you have made great achievements for my Wu country."

Qingji said meaningfully: "You have done a good job, and it can be seen that it is a wise move for you to serve as the warden of Nanhai County."

Hearing this, Gou Jian replied very humbly: "This is all the blessing of the king."

"Many of the tribes of Baiyue are all young, and they are not enough to worry about."

"If there is a chance, the minister will definitely purge all the Baiyue tribes in the territory for the king."

Qingji chuckled and said, "Gou Jian, I heard that some of the Baiyue tribes or small countries that were originally safe and guarded were destroyed by you, I don't know if it is or not?"

"Great King, ...... Minister"

Gou Jian lowered his head, and sweat as big as a bean grain couldn't help but ooze from his forehead.

"You don't have to be nervous."

Qingji said lightly: "If this is put in the past, the widow will have to punish you in order to appease the hearts of Baiyue."

"However, this time is different from the past, and it is already the general trend for my Wu Kingdom to directly rule the six counties of Lingnan."

「……」

Gou Jian didn't speak.

Obviously, after a beating of the right talent to celebrate the jealousy, Gou Jian couldn't help but feel a big alarm bell in his heart, and he was a little jealous.

"Gou Jian, the widow wants to mix the hundred Yue tribes and small countries, so that Wu Yue can be integrated into one family, why do you teach the widow?"

Qingji would actually ask Gou Jian?

This made Gou Jian a little unbelievable.

However, this does not mean that Gou Jian will really dare to teach Qingji to do things and give advice for it.

"The king, the ministers are sparse and shallow, and they dare not discuss such national policies."

"Really?"

Qingji said slowly: "Gou Jian, the widow is very optimistic about you."

"Nanhai County is a place where the people are fierce and have a certain ability to be self-sufficient."

"Over the years, my country of Wu has sent a large number of talents to Nanhai County. Among the six counties in Lingnan, Nanhai County is the leader."

"Nanhai County can be the land of Longxing."

"In recent days, some people have told the widow that you have won the hearts of the people in Nanhai County and have a very high popularity, so they impeached the widow, saying that you have a heart of disobedience and misdeeds."

"I don't know if it's or not?"

As soon as he heard this, Gou Jian was immediately frightened, and hurriedly snorted in front of Qingji, exclaiming, "King, the minister is wronged!"

"The minister's loyalty to the king can be proved by heaven and earth, and by the sun and the moon!"

"Please don't listen to the slanderous words of the villain, so that the ministers will suffer unjustified injustice!"

「……」

Hearing Gou Jian say such words, Qing Ji just shook his head and said lightly, "Gou Jian, whether you are loyal or a woman, the widow himself knows."

"The ability you have shown in Nanhai County, as well as your political achievements, are in the eyes and in the heart."

"You don't have to worry about the gossip. After all, not being envied is mediocrity......

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your trust."

Gou Jian breathed a sigh of relief.

Dealing with Qingji, Gou Jian will inevitably be beating the drum in his heart, and he will be a little uneasy.

Just sitting here, Gou Jian didn't dare to show any disobedience.

In fact, Gou Jian, as the county guard of Nanhai County, did not have the ability to rebel.

It's just that due to the huge garrison of Wu in the six counties of Lingnan, and the main general is Qingji's concubine Sun Li, where does Gou Jian dare to really rebel?

Although Nanhai County is far away from the mainland of Wu and Jinling City, it cannot really make Gou Jian divide one side and claim the king's hegemony.

Unless, Qingji suddenly died, and then the six counties of Lingnan themselves fell into chaos.
