They were cutting down trees, both by order and by their own volition.

Of course, it is still possible to make money now.

These people's eyes were full of excitement and joy, they were happy, happy that some people didn't steal this business from them.

Yes, in the eyes of these people, this conscription is actually more like a business, and it is a business that is sure to make money without losing money.

The cut trees can be burned as firewood, so you don't have to buy firewood in the winter.

The price of firewood in this era was very expensive.

The rest of the firewood can be stored or sold.

When they were requisitioned before, the imperial court had already said that these trees and firewood did not restrict them from cutting down.

.........

Somewhere in a mountain col.

Wang Jian looked at the artillery in front of him, with a little dazed on his face, he subconsciously touched his waist, but there was nothing on his waist at this time.

He touched his forehead again, and it took him a long time to come to his senses, and he looked at the thing in front of him and said, "This thing, those guys who are waiting for them really got it?" ”

Yes.

Wang Jian knew that Lu Sheng and the waiters, and those "alchemists", who can now be called "chemists", were studying this thing, or this rule.

This is the secret that Baijiagong puts on the bright side.

It's just that Wang Jian didn't expect that the first generation of firearms had already been manufactured.

His first reaction was so confused, almost instantly, he reacted, looked at Lu Sheng and Yang Tianyi not far away, and said, "How far is the power of this thing from what the chemists preset?" ”

Lu Sheng understood what Wang Jian meant, and he didn't hide it, and said directly: "It seems to be very close to the power that the teacher guessed at the beginning. ”

After finishing speaking, he and Yang Tianyi looked at Wang Qian's expression and reaction with some concern.

This should not be good news for Wang Qian.

Because the greater the power of firearms, the faster the attack on Baiyue, the less dangerous it is, and the smaller Wang Qian's purpose of wanting to die on the battlefield.

However, Wang Qian's expression did not change in the slightest, no, or there was a change, but his face was full of smiles and excitement.

He said excitedly: "In this way, the speed of this attack on Baiyue will probably be very fast?" ”

Yang Tianyi had already reacted a little, and before he could speak, Lu Sheng beside him asked, "Old General Wang, why are you so excited?" If you're uncomfortable, you can say it. ”

Wang Jian was also at a loss, as if he was even more confused: "Why is the old man unhappy?" Under the weather? ”

At this time, Yang Tianyi sighed faintly and said, "It's our villain's heart." ”

His eyes looked at Wang Jian with a very sincere expression: "General Wang's attack on Baiyue this time will be very fast, but the war will not end so quickly. ”

Yang Tianyi explained to Wang Qian: "Because we need to stretch the battle line, so that we can get more benefits. ”

"We need to build a city within a certain period of time, and Tianhai City will occupy a stronghold in the south."

"There is still some land in the south, and there is land where rice is ripe, and there is a climate that we envy, desire, and that is suitable for rice growth."

"War is not about crippling them and we can leave, but about turning them into our enemies and friends, which is the ultimate purpose of war."

There was a coldness in his voice: "This is true of today's wars and tomorrow's wars. ”

"We have to break the spinal bones of other people in the world, and only by breaking their spinal bones can we get more benefits, more land, and more supporters."

Yang Tianyi was obviously a main battle faction, his voice was cold and ruthless, even if Great Qin had not launched a war against the future now, he already had the rudiments of war in his heart.

This is a famous, crazy main battle faction who was the mainstay and pillar of the state during the period of the second and even the third emperors.

It is also a war maniac who has left a strong mark on the history of the world.

In later generations, there are many books, movies, TV series, and even secondary creations about Yang Tianyi, all of which highlight one point, war and madness.

Even if the Great Qin royal family has not been broken, it is the same that Great Qin has been continuing.

Few people know that this famous war maniac was in fact a typical civilian official.

Maybe it's because Great Qin hasn't made the distinction between civil and military so clear at this time?

Wang Jian looked at Yang Tianyi, as if he saw his young and proud self from him, and his face couldn't help but bring a little satisfaction: "Not bad, not bad." ”

"Young people, you should be so ambitious!"

He said with a smile: "I have promised Chen Xiaozi this time, then I will listen to you!" ”

"Let's talk about it, how did Chen Boy arrange it?"

Yang Tianyi looked at Wang Qian, and the arrogance on Fang Cai's face disappeared completely, leaving only a little modesty and caution.

"Old General Wang, what Prime Minister Chen Cheng said is two fast and one slow."

"Siege fast, build city fast; Slow transformation. ”

"Let some of the people in Dongyue who can accept Great Qin gradually accept Great Qin, become the people of Great Qin, and respect our emperor as a god."

"This is the best solution for barbarians."

He said softly: "Prime Minister Chen also said that at this time, he will break the mountain and build a temple. ”

"If you are unified today, but some parts of the south are still worshipping some gods of the old land."

"If the worship of these gods is good and can bring positive results, Your Majesty and the court don't care, but what they worship is just the evil demons."

"So Prime Minister Chen Cheng wants to break the mountain and build a temple."

"Completely shatter those evil and obscene rituals, so that all the gods and spirits worshiped by the Great Qin world are pardoned by His Majesty and Great Qin!"

Hearing such rebellious words, Wang Qian's expression was a little surprised.

He didn't expect Chen Ke to be so bold, but he still happily stroked his palms and laughed: "Hahahahahahahaha ”

Wang Jian stood up reluctantly: "Leave this matter to the old man!" ”

He turned his head and looked at Yang Tianyi: "You just have to say, when will the war start!" ”

"The old man will use the shortest time to take the land of Dongyue!"

Yang Tianyi was also standing there, with a little thought in his expression, and he was constantly calculating something in his mind.

After a while, he spoke: "Old General Wang, at the current rate, ten days later, before winter, you will be able to start a war!" ”

"If the old general can take the land of Dongyue in half a month, then we will be able to complete the first and most important step of planning before the cold winter comes!"

Wang Jian didn't ask anything, just nodded and said, "Okay!" ”

He turned his head and got on the horse, sat on the horse's back and looked leisurely: "The old man is outside the city, waiting for your news!" ”

After saying that, he clamped his legs between the horse's backs and led the horse to a swift walk into the distance!

Yang Tianyi, who stayed in place, wiped his face, and said with a mocking tone: "Our Wu Chenghou has the youthful demeanor of the year. ”

Lu Sheng shrugged his shoulders: "You two are doing these things, and it has nothing to do with me anyway." ”

He stretched: "I'm just here so that there won't be any problems when transporting this firearm, and it's enough to rest for a few days, and I'm going to start a retreat tomorrow." ”

"It's okay, don't look for me."

After speaking, Lu Sheng also turned his head and walked towards the cave, which had already been transformed into a suitable place to live, and it was no longer damp.

This time, Yang Tianyi was really the only one left.

He touched his nose: "This official is so unpopular? ”

After sighing, he also walked into the distance.

...........

Xianyang City, Manufacturing Department

A large number of limes set off from Xianyang City and headed towards Sanchuan County, which is not far away, not Sanchuan County to be precise, but Zhongmu County.

All those who saw this scene were excited and excited.

What is this trying to do?

Among them, especially Shentu Awakening and Zhai Xi were the most excited.

At the beginning, the group went to different industries and different places, and only the two of them believed in their judgment and came to Zhongmu County without any doubt.

Originally, after waiting for another four months, they even had some vague doubts about whether they were too confident and misjudged, and were about to wait a little longer, but when they couldn't wait to evacuate, they received the news.

Zhai Xi was drunk that night, full of excitement.

His sources were still relatively accurate, and he knew that the continuous transportation from Xianyang City was a thing called "lime", which would become a new material when mixed with water and sediment.

This material is used in road construction.

At this time, why did Daqin, who was about to be in a state of war, transport so much lime to Sanchuan County, that is, Zhongmu?

The purpose, of course, is to build roads!

His previous preparations have already shown signs and are even about to bear fruit!

How can this make Zhai Xi not excited?

On the same night, it was not only Zhai Xi who was drunk, but also Shentu Awakening, and even Sanchuan County Shoushi Xuanni.

His face was full of tears, and his heart was filled with endless joy.

Because he has finally waited for this day!

Prime Minister Chen is going to save Zhongmu, and as soon as he makes a move, it will be a big move!

He looked at the map in his hand, and kept delaying it in his heart, what big moves will Chen Ke have?

At this time, Chen Ke, who had created all this turmoil, was sitting in his mansion, lying in a rocking chair, blowing the late autumn wind, constantly sketching his own thoughts in his mind.

Zhongmu is his hometown, this is an undeniable fact.

Therefore, he must transform Zhongmu into a magnificent place, and this place must be able to survive thousands of years of turmoil without changing.

Chen Ke half-squinted his eyes and thought carefully.

Xianyang City is the political center, and in the future, Tianhai City will be the economic center, and several coastal cities will be the economic center.

Zhongmu is located in the Central Plains, and it is very simple for him to develop, but if he wants to stand tall in the turmoil of the next thousand years, then he must develop something that is tailored to local conditions.

Chen Ke's eyes were half-squinted.

He already had a clue in his mind.

Since there is no way to develop it alone, why not develop a Big Mac-like four-like?

Zhongmu, located in the Central Plains, is the Central Plains of the Central Plains, so it can develop into half a political center, half an economic center, and a transportation center and cultural center as a whole.

Especially half of the political center.

Chen Ke knew very clearly in his heart that politics determines the economy and culture.

As long as there are enough political reasons, let alone Zhongmu, even some barren places can become economic and cultural centers.

How?

It's so easy!

Chen Ke chuckled.

Now that it is on the cusp of the storm, the structure of Baijiagong needs to be further divided, and the pattern of the manufacturing department also needs to be divided.

Separate part of the functions of the Baijia Palace from part of the functions of the Manufacturing Agency, and then merge them into the "Great Qin Research Institute", and the rank of the institution is tied with the rank of Jiuqing.

"Xianyang University" and "Xianyang Research Institute" were established in Xianyang City, "Zhongzhou University" and "Zhongzhou Research Institute" were established in Zhongmu, "Penglai University" and "Penglai Research Institute" were established in Penglaizhou, and "Tianhai University" and "Tianhai Research Institute" were established in Tianhai.

Use all political power to build these four universities into the four most important colleges in Daqin! Set up four research institutes as the four most important research institutes!

After that, we continued to set up universities in Xianyang, Zhongmu, Penglaizhou, and Tianhai, and began to radiate around with them as the center!

These are the four circles of culture, education, research, and invention!

And it just so happens that one is in the Central Plains, one is in the East, one is in the West, and one is in the South.

When the development of Beihai and Tianshan is on the agenda, new universities and research institutes can be established in Jicheng.

In this way, the east, west, north, south, and middle schools each have their own cultural and educational centers, but at this time, the growing circle of influence will cause a problem, and they all need to communicate.

At this time, the "Zhongmu", which has been built in all directions and leads to every place in Daqin, has become the center of these five circles!

The transportation center ensures the strategic position of the place as a cultural, research, research, and cultural center, and together these make Zhongmu a semi-political center.

Of course, this is not insurance.

After all, in the original history, Bianjing, Shendu, and often served as capitals, but in the end they also fell into a sigh.

Chen Ke smiled slightly, and a gorgeous smile bloomed at the corner of his mouth.

The smile was aggressive, unlike what he'd been doing these days.

If Chen Ke is dead now, of course, these are not necessarily insurance.

But the problem is that Chen Ke is still alive, and he may be able to go through the dynasties of one or two emperors in the future and become a veteran of three or even four dynasties, which is enough for him to continue to do some things.

There is no shortage of policies, no shortage of people, no shortage of transportation, no lack of culture, and no lack of research.

If such a place can still decline, then Chen Ke really has no choice.

September 15th, late autumn

Huiji County

Wang Jian sat in the county guard's mansion, with an anxious expression: "I said Yang boy, when are we going to war?" ”
