It is more than 100 miles from Puban to Fenyin, and 60 or 70 miles from Fenyin to Pishi. Fenyin and Pi Shi are places that Zhang Lu has not been to during this inspection, but Pi Wan has already reported the relevant situation. After agreeing on the relevant matters, he asked Pu Ling to send a post guard to send a fatwa: "Fenyin should prepare more boats, cross the county and 10,000 strong people, and camp outside the city." Fenyin Ling somehow, thinking that he was going to use troops on the right place, did not dare to slack off, and immediately prepared ferries, grain and straw, and set up a camp fence outside the city. When Zhang Lu and the others arrived two days later, they found that Fenyin had been prepared, and Zhang Lu praised it greatly!

After inspecting the grain stocks in Fenyin, Zhang Lu had further confidence in the development of Hedong.

Fenyin was an obvious border town, and in the hands of the Wei state, both Fenyin and Pi were the logistics bases that supported the Shaoliang City in Hexi on the opposite bank; In the hands of the Qin State, they only provided cover for the Xiayang ferry on the opposite bank. However, due to the construction of the Wei State, the granaries here are abundant, with about twenty hoards; Counting the new grain and old grain, there are 100,000 stones of grain stored in Fenyin alone. Pishi is an ancient feudal country where Pi is located, and the economic conditions are better than those of Fenyinlai, not only with a larger population, but also with a richer industry, and even the ability to make iron. It's almost a capital-level city. With these two cities, plus Wu and Wei in Hebei, there is a foundation for development; As long as there are people, there will be no problem in developing Hedong. Thinking of this, Zhang Lu became more and more determined to keep this group of people from Shangjun in Anyi. Thinking about it together, Zhang Lu was looking forward to the people from Shangjun coming sooner.

The administration of the Qin State was as punctual as a machine, saying that it was ten days, and the people of Shangjun arrived on time ten days later, along with the craftsmen of the Xianyang Shoshofu. Zhang Lu explained his thoughts to Pi Juan, Fen Yin Ling and others, and tried his best to win over the people from Shangjun to stay in Hedong. Therefore, Fenyin ordered the mobilization of relevant personnel, dug stove pits in the camp early, and collected firewood and grass. When the Zhuangding of Shangjun arrived, a boatload came over; The county guards were led to the camps according to the establishment; Immediately, there were trucks bringing food, and people bringing tinder. Take water from Fenshui and raise the fire to eat.

The aroma of the food cooked by the first arrivers attracts the last. It took almost a day for 10,000 people to cross the river completely. But when the last group crossed the river, those who crossed the river first had already begun to prepare dinner.

Zhang Lu did not discriminate, but transported two times of grain to each camp without discrimination; Those who come early will have to eat two meals, and those who come late will be hungry for a day, and they will already be hungry and full.

Zhang Lu led the officials to inspect the camps and went down to the fires to talk with the soldiers. Most of the people who were found to be knighted, at least they were also dukes, and there were almost no white bodies. After inquiring about it euphemistically, it turned out that Shangjun was almost out of grain production this year, and the people in Shangjun were almost only left in the same place as a way to starve to death. Due to the large number of people, and the number of selected places is only 10,000, only priority can be given to those with knighthoods to participate; And those white bodies are also the elders who are willing to give up their titles and let their children and grandchildren come up. Zhang Lu encouraged them to work hard, and if they made meritorious contributions, they could bring their families out. Just experienced hunger and ate a full meal, the psychology of the people of Shangjun was in extreme joy, and when they heard Zhang Lu's words, they all responded again and again, saying that they would never dare to slack off.

That night, officials above the county doctor gathered in the city, and Zhang Lu explained to them the contents of the project: the first step was to build the road from Fenyin to Pishi; The second step is to build the road from Pishi and Fenyin to Anyi; The third step is to build the road from Anyi to Wucheng; The fourth step is to build the road between Wu, Wei and Puban; The fifth step is to build a road from Kasaka to Angeup. The construction period is estimated to take half a year.

The officials of Shangjun listened and said gratefully: "Zhang Qing pitied the hardships of our people, worked with them more, and did not dare to quit their work. However, there is a shortage of food in Shangjun, and more than 10,000 people have been affected. May it be replaced. The food given by Hedong, I didn't dare to ask for more, I dared to ask for half of it, and the rest were sent back to the county in a hurry to save it! ”

Zhang Lu said: "Qin Law, the officials don't help the disaster, and the people save themselves." Life and death are frozen, and a safe destiny. Why is Shangjun alone? ”

A public doctor at the head said: "Don't dare to violate the Qin law." Today's people serve Hedong, and what Hedong gives, they dare not ask for more, dare to divide their families, and do their best to help each other. ”

Pi Wan said: "Colleagues help each other, righteousness, and cannot be broken." However, everyone can do their part. Hedong to build a road, its labor is too often, if only half of the food, the stomach is often hungry, the strength is exhausted, will miss the construction period! ”

The doctor said: "If you miss the construction period, please behead the ministers to thank you!" ”

Zhang Lu said: "Qin Law, the city is a daily eclipse, and today it is only five liters, which is illegal." If it is investigated by the law of the country, it will be harmful! ”

Doctor Gong said: "The ministers please take the solar eclipse as the rate, but smuggle it into Shangjun." If it is investigated by the law, it is all in the minister! “

After a night's rest, the morning drum roll call, and then dinner, the management of migrant workers is like that of the army. According to his handprint, the doctor accepted the Fenyin Thousand Stone Grain, and immediately shipped 500 stone to Shangjun, and only gave 500 stone to the migrant workers. Zhang Lu observed that this group of migrant workers also seemed to have a tacit understanding, although they were only half-eaten, no one complained.

According to the calculation in advance, the migrant workers are organized according to the process of digging, sieving and ramming the earth. In order to avoid causing trouble to Hedong, even the people of Shangjun took on the work of transporting grain: they received grain from the warehouse, loaded half of it directly onto the ship, and transported it to Shangjun. Only then did Zhang Lu believe that the whole county was of one heart and one mind.

After a short period of adaptation for the first day or two, the project quickly went into orbit. The road from Fenyin to Pishi was completed in less than ten days. The road is five steps wide and runs along the Fenshui River, with wooden bridges built in some narrow places. Zhang Lu inspected the quality of the project along the way and was very satisfied.

After arriving at Pi's, Dr. Gong asked to see Zhang Lu again and said, "It's urgent! If you don't dare to disturb Zhang Qing, the county is really in trouble, and I am willing to regain 10,000 people! ”

Zhang Lu said: "Fenyin, Pi's, but the county ear, still accumulate 100,000 grains, why go to the county and several counties, and starve and discourage due to the disaster of one year old?" ”

Doctor Gong said: "Shangjun is close to quicksand, and the only river that depends on it is not enough to accumulate grain. Qin Fa, the victims of the disaster, the official could not be saved, so although there was little accumulated grain, it could not be helped. Servitude is live! There are 50,000 households in the upper county, all of whom are waiting to be fed, and the officials are not enough to serve. I have to invite you to the east of the river! ”

Zhang Lu said: "What is the service in Shangjun? ”

Doctor Gong said: "Each county guard has a thousand people; For the city, there are also thousands of people. For the licking, for the work, for the weaving, but also limited. After consulting Huayang, the prince thought that there was a big battle in Hedong and had a lot of manpower. I hope that Zhang Qing will succeed! ”

Zhang Lu said: "Hedong served 10,000 people, and there were a number of them, and they couldn't be added for no reason." How? ”

Doctor Gong said: "What is the people! ”

Zhang Lu said: "The minister ordered it, but those who have merit will be allowed to restore the family." Today's road returns to the Pi family, and the battle is also successful. Ministers ask for reinstatement of meritorious people, or thousands. ”

The doctor said: "This is all about the virtue of good life!" ”

Zhang Lu said: "When Hedong was first built, the king decreed, anyone who moved to Hedong Anyi was given a knight, and sinners were spared." The doctor went to the county to collect it, if he was relocated, wouldn't it be two good! ”

Doctor Gong said: "Everyone is relocated to the land." Although there was an order, no one answered. ”

Zhang Lu said: "There are lords in the front, and there are famine in the back, or there are those who respond." ”

Doctor Gong said: "The people in Shangjun are widowed, and I am afraid it will be difficult to respond." ”

Zhang Lu said: "May the doctor be blessed with the virtue of good life, and be good at persuasion, if he is relocated, his merit is not small." ”

The doctor hesitated and could not answer.

Zhang Lu said: "The doctor is in the county and persuades him to move; Ministers are invited to make contributions to the servants and restore their families; If you are persuaded to serve the husband, or if you wish, you will go out with your family. In this way, there are 10,000 people! ”

Doctor Gong said: "Although the upper county is evil, so is the border county of Qin." Zhurong in the north, Taiyuan in the east, the relationship is not light. All moved to Anyi, what is Shangjun? ”

Zhang Lu said: "Died of hunger, what do you have to lose? The east of the river is close to Shangjun, and the land is fertile, with grain and soldiers. There is something going on in Shangjun, but it is okay to transfer troops from Hedong? ”

The doctor shook his head.

Zhang Lu said: "Qin law, the case does not provide disaster relief. The ministers had a service in the east of the river, and they recruited 10,000 people in your county, and they benefited a lot. The meaning of a good life in the body is to plan. The one who decides, but in the ear! ”

Doctor Gong said: "The minister is willing to report to us and discuss it." ”

So Zhang Lu sent down to each battalion and reported the merits; Whoever has achieved merit will be restored to the family. A few days later, the merits of each battalion were reported, and more than 3,400 people were meritorious. Zhang Lu handed over the list to Dr. Gong and instructed him to arrange for the families of meritorious personnel to serve in Hedong as soon as possible.

Since the list of meritorious personnel was reported by each battalion, and the doctors in charge of each battalion received a hint from the public doctor to report as much as possible. Doctor Gong knew that these more than 3,400 people were already the upper limit of what could be achieved by conscription. If you want to increase the number of people, unless you submit a separate budget, it will be approved.

He had no choice but to cross the river in person and go to Fushi, five hundred miles away, to consult with the Shangjun Shou. Shangjun is an important border county of Qin, and the county guards of all dynasties are the cronies of the king of Qin, such as Xiang Shou, Sima Cuo and other famous ministers, all of whom have served as Shangjun guards, and only Shangjun has always taken advantage. Now when the Shangjun Shou heard that Hedong was going to poach people from him, he couldn't help but be furious. Doctor Gong said: "Shangjun was flooded, and this is heaven. It's not what people can do. If you are hungry and look at each other, you will lose it. It is better to move thousands of weak people to them, so that there are few people who seek food, and there are many people who eat raw. ”

The Shangjun Shou was silent for a moment and said, "But Lifu is also a child!" "Decree to all counties, those who are willing to go to the east of the river to eat, go to it.

The upper county has a vast area and many counties. Once the order is handed down, the border county often does not reach it for several days. He also sent a list of meritorious personnel to all counties, and ordered one person from each family to go to Hedong to assist in military service.

Since Anyi could not afford the food cost of building the road, Zhang Lu could only divide his troops into two routes, from Fenyin and Pishi to Anyi to build roads. After exploration, they chose to ram from Pishi and Fenyin to Gushan, and after meeting at the foot of Gushan, they went straight to Anyi. When he returned to Pi, the road from Pi Shi and Fenyin to Anyi was also half completed, and he was about to reach the foot of the lonely mountain.
