Chapter 128: Heavenly Road Connected, Cloud Dragon
Ying Zheng: "Teacher, how wide the world is. ”
"In the past, I thought that the Kanto countries were the whole world, but now the Kanto countries are dead, but this world is still a drop in the ocean in the eyes of the teacher, and the empire is still a remote place."
"I can't imagine what the whole world looks like at the moment when the whole world is plugged into the Great Treasure of the Qin State, and what the scenery is like."
Yan Yan: "If you want to know this, you will definitely not be able to see it clearly when you sit in Xianyang." ”
Yan Yan sat up, turned his head to look at Ying Zheng and said, "Go ahead." ”
"Take a good look at what this world that belongs to you is like, what gorgeous scenery is presented by the scenery of various places, and how brilliant the scenery is."
"Don't stay in Xianyang, and don't trap yourself in this palace, since the world is all yours, the ministers listen to you, and all the people trust and respect you."
"Then you can go and see for yourself and listen to what the world is reflecting on you."
Ying Zheng: "Won't the teacher go with you?" ”
Yan Yan: "No. ”
"Don't come back so quickly this time, stay in each county for a while, see the local people more, and walk more in the fields."
"Xianyang, these political affairs will be handed over to our gang."
Ying Zheng nodded and hummed, looking at the starry sky with a look of longing in his eyes.
The servant Yin He received a decree from the emperor that night, telling him to prepare the carriage and horses and plan the route along the way, which lasted for three years.
This time the emperor had to travel through the entire territory of the Great Qin Empire, first west, then south, then east, and then north, to the farthest county in the northeast, then northeast, and finally to Xianyang from outside the Hangu Pass.
Yin He didn't sleep that night after seeing the order, got up and rushed in the direction of the official office, since this trip would take three years, then the accompanying officials, the palace along the way, the army guarding, and the supplies along the way must begin to calculate and make preparations.
The horizon gradually turned blue, and the red sun was about to break, bringing light to this heaven and earth.
Ying Zheng and Yan Yan left from the tall building, the two of them who chatted all night did not have any fatigue on their faces, enjoyed the warm water sent by the maid, washed up and went to the apse to eat, and then Yan Yan left Zhangtai Palace.
The promulgation of the new policy lifted many secrets and restrictions, so that the people of the former Chu State, Qi State, Yan State, Baiyue State and other places could also grow a large amount of grain, wear swords and swords, and enjoy the same treatment as the Qin, Han, and Wei people.
The Imperial Servant's Mansion has been busy for two months, and the preparation for the tour is ready, and His Majesty the Emperor is ready to start touring the whole country in the summer season, stepping on this land.
On the Zhangtai Palace Square in Xianyang City.
According to the arrangement of the Yin and Yang family, the bronze swords, axes, clubs, and copper hammers that the Taishi ordered to be exchanged from the world were all recast and forged into twelve bronze figures standing on the school grounds, looking at Xianyang City.
In the open ground, five huge carriages lined up, which were the carriages of the emperor, empress, crown prince, princess, princess and others.
This time, the emperor went out on patrol and brought the entire harem and many children, including the children of Yan Yan, the court captain Li Si, the guard captain Wei Wei, the Shaofu Zhang Qin, the imperial servant Yin He, the Lang Zhongling Feng Zai, the general of the forbidden army and the 30,000 forbidden army, as well as the subordinate officials of each province.
Those who stayed in Xianyang included Taishi Yanyan, the right prime minister Wang Xuan, the left prime minister Feng Quji, Shi Shiyi, Feng Chang Kui, the pawn Ran Wen, Zong Zheng Yingluo and the officials left behind in various prefectures.
Ying Zheng and Yan Yan stood and spoke, watching Concubine Yan on the altar carry out the sacrificial ceremony step by step, burning the green smoke sacrifice words, and seeking the protection of the heavens.
Yan Yan looked at Yan Xue, Yan Yan, Yan Zhao, Yan Li, Yan Li, Yan Yan? , Yan Xu, Yan Yu, Yan Xi and others, asking who will take care of whom along the way, don't cause trouble and mess around, and let them behave well.
The oldest child in this period is twelve years old, and the youngest is four years old, which is not much different from Yingzheng's child.
Prince Fusu, eldest princess Hehua, Gongzi Yinglu, Yingji, Ying'an, Princess Yin Man, Yingyu, Prince Fusu is thirteen years old, Gongzi Ying'an, Princess Yingyu is two years old.
This time, they will all accompany the whole country.
At the end of the sacrificial ceremony, the convoy began to set off under the arrangement of the officials of the Imperial Servant's Mansion, with Yingzheng alone in the front carriage, followed by the queen Xiong Dan and the imperial concubine Wei Mei, and then the side concubine Fuqing and Ju Lan, and then the beauty Weng Nina, Wang Ying, Feng Wanyu, and finally the crown prince.
The rest of the princesses and princesses had separate carriages to follow, and a long dragon spread out like this.
He Hua took Yin Man and Yan Xue to the second carriage, and stayed with the queen and the princess. was also called into the carriage by Ying Zheng and chatted together.
The rest of the princesses also gathered in groups on a carriage, chatting and talking, playing together with the young, and gathering together with the old.
Aren't they like Fusu and Yan? The two of them have a heavy burden on them, so time will be a little looser than the two.
The convoy came all the way from the main street to the West City Gate, and the people along the way watched the ministers who saw them off bid farewell to the patrol team ten miles outside the city, and then returned to Xianyang.
The eight straight roads in Xianyang's original Qin territory have all been repaired, with the widest part reaching ten zhang and the narrowest point also having three zhang, which can fully meet the requirements of the rapid march of the army.
According to the requirements, there is a small post station, a medium-sized post station of 100 miles, and a large post station of 300 miles for every 50 miles.
The post station is equipped with three good horses and five post guards at a minimum, and usually relies on delivering letters and receiving merchants and people along the way to maintain balance.
This patrol is also to inspect various policies and the situation of the local people, and the nets and shadow guards have already set off secretly, and it is difficult for the local government to fake them.
Xianyang City.
The political affairs of the Great Qin Empire were maintained by the two prime ministers, and Yan Yan led the public to leave Xianyang and go to the site of the construction of the Heavenly Road.
After half a month's journey, the two of them went all the way to a valley two hundred miles away from Xianyang, where the construction site was in full swing, and the cooperation of workers and agency workers leveled the land piece by piece, and then the large machine beast paved a section of railroad tracks, and then the workers stepped forward to connect them.
Yan Yan looked at the construction site of the assembly line operation, and the road at such a speed has not been connected for seven years, which shows the hardships of the process.
Gong Defeat Qiu walked into the construction site with Yan Yan, introduced him to the role of each machine beast and under what circumstances it was manufactured, and then took him to the person in charge of the construction site.
The person in charge here is the Shaofu and the Machine Academy, and the officials are very large.
Each section of the Heavenly Road is responsible for a small team of officials, exploration, design, collection, transportation, relocation, etc., all belong to different officials, and only after the completion will it gather in the hands of the highest officials, and the project will begin.
The arrival of the two flattered the officials in charge of this section, after all, it had been six or seven years since they left Xianyang, and the rules of Xianyang's officialdom had long been forgotten.
Yan Yan looked at their helpless appearance, wanting to say something but afraid of saying the wrong thing, and felt an inexplicable good feeling.
Yan Yan had no choice but to ask questions first, to understand the things and difficulties encountered along the way, and only after half an hour had passed that he officially entered the topic.
According to their estimates, it will take at least one year to connect the Tianlu from Bashu to Xianyang, and it will take half a year for Beidi County and Xianyang.
After that, Yan Yan went around the construction site for three days with the public enemy, asked some questions about the treatment of workers, food and housing, and only returned to Xianyang with the public revenge after there were no problems.
Ying Zheng's convoy had arrived at the junction of Neishi and Longxi County, and the speed had begun to slow down.
The decrees in Xianyang City were carried out in an orderly manner without any hindrance.
In the blink of an eye, when it was harvest time, on the Guanzhong Plain, the wheat was golden, and the head of the wheat harvester was walking back and forth in the wheat field, and the beetle-like appearance hid a sharp blade, cutting the wheat stalks neatly, and then piling them aside, and the farmers who followed behind took off the wheat neatly, and the joy of harvest was overflowing on the dark face.
The fiery sun could not stop them from enjoying a happy time, and the scorching sun scorched the sweat, but no one said a word of happiness.
In Xianyang City, Shi Shiyi came to Yanyan's mansion and asked about this year's taxes.
After a day of discussion, the two decided to continue to exchange for surplus grain for storage, and also decided to buy more on top of some by-products, which were used to go to the Western Regions to exchange for gold and silver and other goods.
A large number of soldiers in the army in various places have also chosen to leave the army and turn to their respective hometowns to serve as officials, and at the same time, the guards in various places have also started the new year's military training and military exercises, and everything in the Qin State is proceeding steadily.
In the Mid-Autumn Festival, Yan Yan and his wife watched the lanterns and admired the moon in Xianyang City, and merchants and tourists from various dynasties in the Western Regions, Baiyue tribes, people from the Kanto region, and Mobei wolf tribes all gathered in Xianyang to enjoy the prosperous scene.
Today's Xianyang is three times larger than it was at the beginning, and the previous city wall divided Xianyang into two worlds, the old and the new, and the houses within the city walls could not be higher than the stargazing towers in the palace of the Qin king. And outside the city wall of the new Xianyang, the highest building has nine zhang high, the lowest part is thirty zhang wide, huge.
That building was built by Qing, the richest widow in Xianyang, and Ying Zheng personally came here when it was completed, casting a veil of mystery over the building.
The caravan under the widow Qing involved the top and bottom of the Qin State, and many of the goods of the Qin State were handed over to her caravan for transportation and sales, making her the richest merchant in the Great Qin Empire in one fell swoop.
At the same time, he is also the most mysterious businessman, His Majesty the Emperor personally appeared, giving her a big face, and she was valued by His Majesty the Emperor more than the Zhao family caravan.
Yan Yan took everyone into this high-rise building called the Imperial Tower, it is said that the construction of this building cost a mountain of wood, the vice president of the Institute of Machinery personally designed and built, there are a variety of mortise and tenon structures and borrowing structures, in order to be able to build it layer by layer to the height of nine zhang.
There are five floors in the building, the first floor is three feet high, grand and magnificent, which is full of all kinds of commodities and by-products of the agricultural yard of the machine yard, including some rare things, dazzling, everything.
The second floor is a restaurant restaurant, the third floor is a dance hall, the fourth floor is a music hall, and the fifth floor is only for people with special status, such as Yan Yan.
After the widow Qing poured tea for Yan Yan, Xue Ji, Qing Ling, Zhao Li, Startling Salamander, Flame Lingji, Lang Yu, Madame Hu, Hu Meiren, and Li Ji, she sat next to Yan Yan.
The widow Qing was forty-five years old, with a dignified and steady countenance, took over the caravan from her husband, and then joined Xuehua by accident to become a spy of the Qin State, relying on the caravan to provide a lot of information in the destruction of Zhao, Yan, Qi, and Chu.
This is the fundamental reason why she was able to build a high-rise building of such a scale in Xianyang, and Ying Zheng came to congratulate her in person.
Widow Qing is also an important supporter of the finances of the Qin State Machinery Academy, and the research expenses of the entire machine academy can basically be said to be supported by her caravan.
Widow Qing: "My lord, do you need to arrange dance and music to help you have fun?" ”
Yan Yan shook his head, "No need, it's better to be quiet." ”
The widow nodded, not continuing to say anything, from the first time she saw Yan Yan, and then through continuous choice, she grew to such a point, she always knew one thing, what he could give her could be easily taken.
Just like the Zhao family's caravan, such a big advantage was actually wasted by Zhao Song's choice, and now he has completely bid farewell to the political stage of the Qin State and has become a real businessman.
Yan Yan: "The construction of the Heavenly Road is about to be completed, I have already asked the public to create a cloud dragon for you, when the time comes, remember to go to the public to take the revenge." ”
The widow Qing raised her head, her eyes showed a bright light, and she looked at Yan Yan and said, "Really? My lord. ”
Yan Yan nodded and smiled, "Don't worry, Yunlong is just the first step, there are many advantages behind you like you to dump, you just catch it." ”
Widow Kiyoshi: "Thank you, sir." ”
On the other side, all the women sat around and chatted, drinking tea and watching the bright moon in the sky, Concubine Yan needed to preside over the sacrificial ceremony in the palace and did not accompany her.
The weather is in winter, Yingzheng patrol convoy came to the two counties of Bashu, the team saw the road that has been built, encountered the high mountains directly from the mountains to dig holes, encountered the river stream directly tower bridge crossed.
Everyone watched as the various trap beasts traveling on the Heavenly Road transported the railroad tracks and various materials to the direction of Xianyang, and continued to build the rest of the road.
Ying Zheng led the ministers to experience the feeling of galloping on a trap beast, and the speed of the trap beast was faster and more stable than that of a carriage.
After experiencing a section of the Heavenly Road, the team continues towards Dian County, and then will turn to Nanjun and other places.
Outside Xianyang City, there were a number of ministers of Xianyang standing on the cloud platform that had already been built, and they were all waiting for the arrival of Yunlong in the distance.
The heavenly road from Beidi County to Xianyang has been connected, and Yunlong also set off from Beidi County last night and is expected to arrive in Xianyang at dusk.
Gong Yi looked at the sky and said to Yan Yan, "Taishi, there are about two quarters of an hour left, and Yunlong will arrive." ”
Yan Yan nodded and continued to wait.
Two quarters of an hour later, a white steel beast rushed in front of me, and the roar of the huge team rang out in everyone's ears.
The ministers present all looked at the dragon-headed beast, and as they watched its body spread out behind it, it erupted into a fierce roar.
Since then, the state of Qin has officially taken a huge step towards industry.
