Chapter 50: The Grain and Grass Are Heavy

It's chicken feathers in one place!

Fang Xiaoru is here to resign!

If Fang Xiaoru doesn't leave, he will keep the position of Wangfu Wenxiang, but it's a pity.

If reprimanding and correcting Fang Xiaoru's deep-rooted ideas is the beginning of contradictions, then his way of treating the Ma family has become an explosion of contradictions.

What does the Ma family have to do with Fang Xiaoru.

Eight poles can't play a dime.

But the Ma family and the Fang family have a common name.

Famous family!

Like Cheng Lishi and Liu Gang, these people are not qualified to be officials, if it weren't for the fact that Lao Zhu didn't see a single child from a poor family when he resumed the imperial examination for the first time, and he did it twice in the same year, these people would not even have the qualifications to read and write.

But even so, except for the generation of Gaomen who is transforming into a 'wang clan' with Lao Zhu to fight the world, there is no one in the world who was born poor and became an official like Cheng Lishi.

This is the contradiction caused by the signal he released to Fang Xiaoru.

It's like a small sapling under a big tree, if the little saplings can't get enough nutrients to grow when the big tree becomes a towering tree, it will die, so the little sapling will go under other big trees that can make them grow.

It can both provide them with shelter from the wind and rain, and also develop their own roots to thrive.

Moreover, the saplings have to distinguish between shrubs, grasses, weeds, and ants.

Weighing the pros and cons, Fang Xiaoru walked very neatly, which is understandable.

More than 1,400 people suffer from snow blindness, all of them migrators, and the incidence is likely to continue to rise in the future.

Not a big problem.

There was still snow on the ground, and the sun was still warm in the sky.

What can I do, cold salad!

As already said, even if you have a knife in the sky, you have to work, let alone snow blindness.

Seven people died.

What is outrageous is that a person who pulls soil went to pee, slipped under his feet, rolled more than ten meters on the snow, and hung up.

Two people pulling the cart lost their strength on Majiapo, and the fully loaded car rolled down and killed the two people who pulled the car behind, and then the people behind ran fast without causing major casualties.

There is no way, Majiayao has the largest brick kiln factory in the entire Lan County, and it is just below Majiapo.

The two of them fought because of the soil and the mud, and it became a group fight, and seven were injured and two died.

What's even more annoying is that the team carrying grain and grass to the north stopped at Jinzhoukou, the slope is too big, and it can't come up, and the grain general executed the twelve people who took the lead, but still didn't come up, so he sent people to ask for help.

There's no way to judge.

The two people who died in Lan County were beheaded by his order because of sabotage, and their heads were hung on both sides of the Zhenyuan Bridge.

The only good news, I'm afraid that I have not seen the second time that Yuan Qi went south, fortunately!

After Guo Ying finished arranging the relevant construction requirements of the military town, he went to Liangzhou, which is expected to take three days, and accidents cannot be ruled out.

Zhu Di led the government soldiers to the south to meet the grain transport team.

Hard days will pass.

Zhu Di looked at the Jinzhou Plain, which was covered with white snow, and seemed to see the dawn.

The water network is dense, and it has been effective, and it can be completed with a little project.

In winter, the river dries up, and several rivers freeze and are impassable.

In the past, when Jinzhou was flooded, no one took care of the river, and the flood was chaotic, but after correction and dredging, several large rivers have been unblocked and the embankment has been raised to cope with the flood.

Small tributaries are cut into large and small canals.

In addition to this, there are neatly planned fields all over the place.

Especially for road construction, there are three roads in Jinzhou, two of which winds along the foot of the mountain, and one that crosses Jinzhou along the high terrain of Jinzhou.

It seems that you can already smell the aroma of the rice fields from the snow.

A golden piece.

"The last general, Zhang Yulong, the grain and grass superintendent, visited His Highness!"

There was no Jinzhoukou yet, and the generals in charge of the grain and grass escort traveled ten miles to meet them.

In the distance, you can also see a camp full of cars and horses.

The grain and grass escort route is Qingyang and Pingliang Road, crossing the Lihe River, and it is essential to cross the mountain knot of Huining.

And in Jinzhoukou, he was stopped by a big mountain.

This is no way, in this group of mountains, you can only meet the mountains and open the mountains and rivers to build bridges.

"General Zhang, please hurry up, what's the situation now?" Zhu Di was straight to the point, every day of delay in Jinzhoukou would give Lan County one more day of embarrassment.

If the grain and grass are not delivered, Lan County will run out of food.

Can you not be in a hurry, after hearing the news, he came in a hurry.

"Hey, what's the matter, Your Highness should go and take a look!" Zhang Yulong sighed, feeling that Zhu Di would go crazy if he didn't come again.

"Okay!" Zhu Di gave Yu Yan a few words, and then quickly followed Zhang Yulong.

There are already thousands of carriages going uphill, but looking at Zhang Yulong's anxious appearance, I'm afraid there are more.

In fact, this is also the experience of transporting grain.

In fact, each grain cart does not contain much grain, almost 134 stones, 1,500 catties, instead of a full cart, loaded with more than 20 stones.

It's the cost of people, but it's easier and faster to transport.

For Saibei, which vigorously develops war horses, there is no shortage of mules for the combination of horses and donkeys.

The pocket for transporting grain is a pocket made of silk and linen, a bag of grain with one stone, and a super large pocket.

The grain trucks on the slope were all placed, no one, all the people were at the bottom of the slope, but when he stood at the mouth of Jinzhou, Zhu Di was still stunned.

"I'll go!"

Zhu Di couldn't help but burst into foul language.

The mountains are covered with wild snow, which has not yet completely melted, and this snow will not melt for a while and a half.

But on this Jinzhoukou road, it was muddy, and there was water on the road, and it was sticky when people stepped on it.

Looking at the slope of the mountain, which is more than 100 zhang long, the head of the mountain, the halfway up the mountain, the foot of the mountain, and the back, are densely packed with grain trucks.

Some of the grain trucks were stuck in the mud and could not be dragged.

So he unloaded the grain and grass, pulled the cart out of the mud and threw it halfway up the mountain, and the people carried it to the top of the mountain.

Some of the grain trucks could still struggle, and a group of people pulled desperately.

There are 30,000 horse-drawn wagons in total, and there are not even a fraction of them pulled up the mountain.

Looking at the spectacular grain transportation team, Zhu Di couldn't help but think of the scene of escorting grain and grass in the TV series.

100,000 stones, 1,500,000 catties of grain!

400,000 stone is 6 million catties of grain!

"Stop, stop, when will this be pulled, oh my God, this king is going crazy!"

Zhu Di was about to go berserk and screamed on the spot.

The weather was cold, and the snow melted due to the rampant carriage of cars and horses, and even the frozen soil on the ground also melted, creating a muddy ground, and tens of thousands of people tossed on it, going crazy.

These grains and grasses were sent to Jinzhoukou, and the grains and grasses were handed over to Zhu Di, and Zhang Yulong's task was completed.

is just the last step away, and Zhang Yulong's head is also very big.

Hearing Zhu Di's words, Zhang Yulong hurriedly ordered: "Let everyone stop and listen to His Highness's orders!" ”

Suddenly, the sound of shouting to stop began all over the mountain.

The 100,000-strong grain transport team, with 1,000 cavalry and 6,000 foot soldiers, is not weak.

"All the grain trucks are pulled down!" Zhu Di ordered.

"What, pull it down, Your Highness, we finally pulled it up!" Zhang Yulong exclaimed.

"Hurry up, go and prepare the torches, and get ready to fight all night!" Zhu Di ordered again.

"The last general, obey!" Zhang Yulong nodded in embarrassment, and scolded angrily with the guard next to him: "Don't go and give the order yet!" ”

Tossing up the mountain, going down the mountain is much easier.

Soon.

The slope of the hill, which was more than 100 feet, was empty.

Seeing that the road was cleared, Zhu Di ordered: "General Zhang, you lead people to start cleaning the mud from below, until the soil is dry." ”

"This king will lead people to clear the mud from above, and then interrupt the confluence!"

"In addition, while the soil is wet, the road surface is widened by one foot each, and the road side is dug about one foot deep to use as a drainage ditch."

"Clear the road first, my General Zhang, if you transport it like this, you won't be able to transport it until next year, and it will freeze again after dark, what will you do!"

"This!" Zhang Yulong looked at Zhu Di, who was still immature, and his head flashed with inspiration, and he suddenly amazed and admired: "Your Highness is wise, the last general, the last general is really stupid, the last general is simply admiring His Highness!" ”

It can be seen that Zhang Yulong is really grateful from the bottom of his heart.

Grain and grass escort is not an easy job, if you can't send it to the top of the hill today, you will be held accountable, and the focus of the punishment will have to lose your head, and you will be swept to the end at the slightest point.

Zhang Yulong, who couldn't help but look at Zhu Di seriously, couldn't help but admire it in his heart.

As a prince, Zhu Di is so easy to wear in battle armor, which is simply too rare.

How to look at Zhu Di, how pleasing to the eye.

"Hurry up and get moving!" Zhu Di shook his head.

Yu Yan also hurried over with 10,000 soldiers, each with a shovel in hand, and had already prepared.

Originally, I was going to clear the snow, but now the mud is about the same.

The road is too slippery and sprinkled with dirt and gravel on the pavement.

The road has puddles, filled with soil and repaired ditches.

The road is muddy and clears the muddy road.

There are no asphalt roads, these are perfectly normal things.

Cement is made by crushing and calcining limestone, clay, gypsum, etc.

And the sand rivers in the north are everywhere, and it is not difficult to get sand.

If you want to get rich, you must first build roads, and you still have to look at this problem correctly.

"Whoever is that, just you, throw the mud away!"

"Then who, just you, what are you doing grinding and chirping, if you don't work anymore, the king will whip you!"

"This king wants you to be at war, and you run faster than anyone else in battle, and you are not active in your work, so what's the use of asking you."

Zhu Di stood tall 'scolding Fang Xuan', although he did not hold a whip, but he was full of deterrence.

Several of the people named were reprimanded for working in a proper manner.

As for the fate of the person himself, it is impossible.

The people who can go up from the bottom to the top are not so lucky, Zhu Di saw Zhang Yulong personally supervising with a whip from a distance, and he had beaten people several times.

He also has no idea of dissuading this kind of thing.

Twenty or thirty thousand people put into a hillside of less than 400 meters, even a stone mountain can dig a clean road, not to mention that this is a loess mountain.

Before dark, the road was open.

Without the obstruction of snow, ice, and mud, it only takes more than ten minutes to walk 400 meters normally.

After fighting all night, Jinzhoukou was brightly lit, and in less than half of the night, all the grain transportation teams went to Jinzhoukou.

"Finally, it's up!"

Zhang Yulong breathed a long sigh of relief, and said to Zhu Di gratefully again: "The last general, thank Your Highness for saving your life!" ”

Zhu Di smiled, and when he was about to rest by the fire, Shen Hongtai was stopped outside by the soldiers transporting grain and grass from a distance and shouted: "Your Highness, Your Highness, it's the grass people, Shen Hongtai!" ”
