Of course, as a part-time farmer, Chen Xi also needs to be in charge of grain storage, national economy and other aspects. In short, Chen Xi's current situation is that he is involved in everything and can do everything. He can also share everything with others and name it, but Liu Zhang does Chen Xi is very interested in this matter.
After all, Chen Xi had previously thought about building a Western Han high road and then a Han Cheng high road to connect Sichuan and Shu with the central government. You must know that the significance of the Grand Canal built before was not only for water transportation, but also to connect the central and northeastern areas. , the south and the central part are all connected.
It can be said that after the construction of the Grand Canal, the entire Central Plains was basically brought under rule except for Sichuan and Shu in the northwest and southwest, where the country's governance was weak.
In the northwest, Chen Xi and Cao Cao have already agreed on a direct road to the Western Regions, the Twelve National Highways. After it is completed, Liangzhou, and even the farther Western Regions, Congling will basically be included in the notification scope. In other words, only Sichuan and Shu are left.
In fact, Sichuan and Shu are not far away. The biggest problem there is that the road is difficult to walk. The road to Shu is not an empty talk. The difficulty of walking on the plank road simply makes the difficulty of entering sky-high. This is why Chen Xi must build a road directly to the hinterland of Sichuan and Shu. Without this road, Sichuan and Shu would basically be the easiest states to separate.
But now Chen Xi inexplicably discovered that Liu Zhang had exactly the same idea as him. If the top of the mountain is cut off, we need to go through it in a straight line without turning around. We can build it in a straight line.
It’s hard to say how long the road from Hanzhong to Chengdu, Sichuan is, but that road is very difficult to walk because it is a plank road, which is extremely tricky, so it usually takes dozens of times more than normal walking, so this road The road must be built, even if it is for political significance!
In addition, among the elders, Sun Qian, who specializes in construction, and Kanyu who were sent out, Feng Shui practitioners have returned with some new conditions, which is the so-called natural warming.
As the essence of heaven and earth continues to rise, the strength of mountains and rocks in nature has also been naturally strengthened to a certain extent. Except that it is not as strong, fast, and has a clear goal as human warming, the difference in other aspects is not big, that is to say There can be no further delay in building roads and rivers.
Once the strength of the mountains and rivers rises to a certain level with the recovery of the essence of heaven and earth, the difficulty of some of the roads that were originally built will increase significantly. Although it is not possible that the army attack will not be able to chop down the mountains, it will definitely It will have a great impact on the project period.
Sun Qian's people who knew Kanyu Feng Shui also deliberately conducted experiments, and some of them had made gunpowder.
That person also regarded it as a divine object and thought it could become a strategic weapon, so he studied it vigorously. Anyway, as far as the results Chen Xi saw, he had almost created black powder, and the level was already superior. It is the Tang and Song Dynasties. After all, this era has internal energy, and the difficulty of research has obviously dropped.
However, after reaching this point, the other party gave up. As far as Chen Xi understood the results, there was no problem in giving up. After all, more than a hundred kilograms of black gunpowder accidentally exploded, killing the person in the middle who was studying, and the result was just that People and clothes were blackened...
After that, I mainly used this thing to research materials. As for using this to intimidate the war horses, come on, even the legion's attacks can't intimidate them. They emit black smoke and fire. There is Zhang Fei in the former, and there are a lot of the latter, and there is no Xiliang iron cavalry. Bingzhou Langqi dare not attack you.
In addition, the difficulty of obtaining this thing is too high. Although it was still made in the end, it was no longer used for combat, but as an auxiliary study of the strength of materials. The current situation is that 20 kilograms of this thing are sealed in rocks. In the cave, the rocks cannot be broken by blasting now.
In short, the meaning of this thing has become even more meaningless, and it has completely turned into a toy. You must know that rocks are only naturally warmed things. This is basically the same as Chen Xi originally estimated. In this era, warmed cold weapons , one knife can probably cut through the deck of a battleship...
And the artillery shells at the end of World War II may not be able to shatter the deck of a battleship. In the same way, if the current seventh-generation ships of the six companies were placed in World War II, probably except for nuclear weapons that can break the defense, other frontal hits may not even be able to penetrate the deck. , Sure enough, without the suppression of clouds, the material properties of matter in this era are simply unreasonable.
Thinking of this, Chen Xi also knew that he could not waste any more time. Those roads with complex terrain must be built as soon as possible, otherwise, any further delay would cause trouble.
"What do you three think?" Chen Xi asked directly.
"We feel that this road cannot be built by Liu Yizhou alone. We also need to contribute money and efforts. It is best if we contribute more money and efforts." The three of them looked at each other, and Zhen Mi took a step forward to look at Chen Xi. said.
"Do you want to borrow money from me, or do you raise money internally, and then transfer it to Yizhou in my name, or do you directly fund it from me in the name of the Han Dynasty?" Chen Xi nodded to show that he knew, and then gave three suggestions. .
"We will contribute capital in the name of the Han Dynasty, but we will borrow part of it from you, and then we will raise part of it ourselves and merge it with the Yizhou part." It was obvious that this group of people had already thought about it when they came, and they just came to Chen Xi to report Prepare.
The name of the Han Dynasty cannot be omitted. Even if you want to make money, you cannot bypass the Han Dynasty in this aspect. Likewise, Chen Xi cannot bypass the bank. Even if there is no shortage of money, he must be involved as a backstage. The Yizhou side cannot be less, even if the other party does not pay, and uses the proceeds after the road is repaired as advance mortgage, the people in the chamber of commerce are willing to repair it!
If this road is built, it will really be a golden road. Therefore, after receiving the news from Yizhou, the major chambers of commerce expressed their willingness to support Yizhou in building this road. Together, these people will definitely be enough. Even if it’s not enough, it’s enough to repair and recycle at the same time.
In fact, they wanted Yizhou Mu not to pay, but how can I put it, in the current situation, Liu Zhang did not pay, but just gave this plan. They were willing to pay for it themselves, and Liu Zhang was even happy for them to do it, but The price of doing this will definitely make Liu Zhang hateful when Liu Zhang understands it in the future.
The so-called harmony brings wealth, although these people have large and small backstages behind them, they are a bit far behind Liu Zhang. Besides, Liu Zhang is a big boss himself, and they also have a huge backstage called the Han Dynasty.
Since there is no way around it, she will take Liu Zhang with her. Wu Yuan is going to go back to Yizhou to talk to Liu Zhang and try to get Liu Zhang to pay less and instead let the other party use his income in the next few years as collateral.
