The distance from Lantian County to Chang'an is not far, starting from the morning, even if the road is a little slower, you can get to the place in the afternoon.

There are pedestrians on the road, there are boats carrying passengers on the water, and the specialties on the mountains of Lantian County need to be transported to Chang'an to sell.

When I went downstream, I just used a boat to transport it, and when I came back, I also spent some money to take a boat, saving myself the hard work of walking.

It is not cost-effective to carry the burden from the county to Chang'an, go in the morning, arrive in the evening, be tired and sore, and have to eat some cakes or something at noon.

Carry the burden to the river, spend a few pennies, float down with the water, arrive before noon, and save a meal.

At night, the countercurrent will also arrive home before dark, or walk back with an empty load, which is fast.

If someone goes to buy something, empty-handed, he is reluctant to spend that few pennies, he brings his own dry cakes, some pickles in the cake, and goes to Chang'an before dawn.

Sixty miles of road, arrived at the place only noon, eat what you brought, buy some things, see if it sinks, if it sinks, take a boat, and continue to go back if it does not sink.

Zhu Wentian saw someone hurriedly passing by the team, obviously trying to walk with his feet.

Some of the people in the team walked on their feet, and they had to be on the ground for safety, while the others rode in cars and took turns to go down.

Zhu Biao took a look at the binoculars: "The road is good, flat, I think I have been paying attention to Lantian County since before, and the road from Chang'an to Lantian County is repaired."

By now, the people have become accustomed to walking this road, the stars are brighter at night, they get up early, and walk back and forth once a day.

Second brother, if you just pull fewer goods and people, the iron-clad wood track is okay, and the small train in the village with children can pull a lot of people at a time, and the speed is very fast. ”

Zhu Zhang, who also used a telescope to look at the people of his fiefdom, was suddenly stunned, and turned his head to look at the inside.

"His Royal Highness the King of Qin only Chang'an to Lantian road? It's better to use a steam engine ship, why lay a track?

Look at the surrounding places, around Chang'an, there are basically rivers, as long as you use a boat, you can run back and forth.

His Royal Highness wants to build a road to Lantian County, and then borrow the mountain road behind to transport things to Luonan and Luoshui.

Or do goods from other places come and go that way, and not go through other passes? ”

The chief guessed Zhu Zhang's thoughts, to open a good road for his fiefdom to the outside, instead of having to wait for the Yellow River to take the waterway.

Zhu Fan nodded vigorously: "That's right!" Is this mountain okay? ”

"Your Highness, can't we cultivate along the mountain? There is a drop in the mountain, about 340 zhang, and the people have no problem walking by themselves, and a large number of transported goods can exhaust people to death.

Along the mountain, you can just connect to the head of Luoshui, choose a good location over there, and the road to the past can be paved with tracks.

Use a boat to go to Bashui, transport the goods to the end of Bashui in Lantian County, turn into a small train, and go around a long way. ”

The lieutenant helped to find a way, not to take the goods over the mountains and mountains, the drop was too high.

"Then isn't this road built in vain?" Zhu Fan felt that the road that had been repaired for two and a half days was a waste.

"At least until the other road is finished, this road is the best road, we have worked hard for two and a half days, and the people have benefited.

And if you want to build a iron-clad wooden track around the past, how many people can Your Highness produce?

It will take about 80 miles, in which the mountain will be blown up, and then the roadbed will be paved, and the small train will also have to be reinforced.

What's more, the train made is not the kind of toy in the village, so it has to be bigger, and it can only be pulled by three or five hundred people at a time. ”

The lieutenant didn't think that the mountain road had been built in vain, at least the people would be able to walk before the other roads were repaired.

Otherwise, you can't get out, and Lantian County can only go around a long distance, from Qianyou Pass, a few hundred miles.

Either it is a lot of people walking the mountain road together, and the road they walked before, everyone emboldens each other and climbs slowly.

People in Luonan County can't get in, so they have to go around, or find a path from the valley to cross, which is very dangerous, easy to fall, and may also be bitten by poisonous snakes and eaten by wild beasts.

"Huh?" Zhu Fan heard the distance and raised his eyebrows: "How long is the Rouge River?" ”

"Thirty miles." Zhu Biao gave the answer.

"Do you need to blow up a lot?" Zhu Fan asked again.

"It's not as good as the Rouge River, which is full of stones. Let's go around the road to repair, and we have to blow it up like that, it's better to go over the mountain! The lieutenant replied.

Zhu Fan scratched his head: "We don't lack wood, huh?" Iron-clad iron, iron can also support it, right? When we come back, the Qin Palace will not be repaired first.

Assign people to build roads for us, and the palace can be repaired slowly, giving us a place to live, and other palaces coming little by little.

The palace in the imperial city is like this, and we can't do things without saying anything, let's live in a big tent first.

After the road is repaired, the people of our fiefdom can continue to exchange goods with the outside.

Many local products no longer have to rot in the mountains, give us steam engine ships, and we can get rich even if we sell coal.

There are also oil candles, which are more convenient for everyone to use than oil lamps, and we can also let the people make all kinds of sauces, and there are more local beans......"

Zhu Fan muttered about calculating how many resources the fief had to use, what jobs to find for the people to make money, and bringing in goods from outside for the people to increase their non-staple food.

The soap technique could not be used in the fiefdom, so he took the oil to his father to change it, and brought it back to clean the people and make them less sick.

Zhu Wentian listened with a smile next to him, and Zhu Fan at this moment is like an official who wants to build the local economy well, the kind that really serves the people.

Because he doesn't need to be greedy, the land and taxes of the fief are his, and he can seize the power of the fiefdom officials.

He said that he would develop how he wanted, and that others did not dare to disobey him, and he was more skilled than officials.

As he spoke, Zhu Fan patted his thigh: "It's decided, after we come back, we will come out again, and make special arrangements, we are old and can do things well." ”

After speaking, he looked at his brother: "Brother, resources should be given to us first, just treat us as a pilot here, if it happens, change it to other places." ”

"Good! To the second brother. Zhu Biao agreed, he really wanted to see how well the ship of the steam engine could cooperate with the train.

Give part of the resources, and the other part must be used on the Yangtze River, the Daming Naval Division is currently okay and can support it, mainly because of the problem of shipbuilding.

As the team moved forward, they met people who were tired from walking in front of them from time to time, invited them to get in the car, and took them to Chang'an together.

Some women carry their children on their backs, and in order to save a few pennies, there is no one at home to take care of the children, so they can only go out with them.

Children are dirty and not cute at all, but when they wipe their faces and apply some skin care rouge, they will immediately change their appearance.

The sun slowly turned to the right space, the team did not stop, there were still ten miles left from Chang'an, and they would rest again when they arrived at the place.

The prefect of Xi'an Prefecture and others hurriedly arrived and followed the team and walked back.

At the end of the third quarter, everyone finally arrived at the place, entered the unrepaired palace in the city, and set up tents here.

The craftsmen who worked didn't eat, and they were going to eat, but some people said that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and His Royal Highness the King of Qin came down to cook again and add more dishes.

The original dish is too shabby, and it will feel good to add a dish.
