Not only that, the rain is getting heavier and heavier.
The three of them hurriedly retreated under the eaves of the back house, looking at the rain with worried expressions.
Cuizhu gritted her teeth, found a coir raincoat in the house, put it on, and rushed to the outer house.
Zhao Yiniang hurriedly grabbed her and asked: "The rain is so heavy, are you not afraid of getting sick?"
"No, I'm going to chase Xiao Langjun." Cuizhu said while tying up the raincoat with her hands and looking at the heavy rain.
Zhao Yiniang and Zhao Erniang hurriedly hugged her tightly together. How could this happen?
Zhao Yiniang said to Cuizhu: "This won't work. You are a little lady. What will you do if you encounter bandits?"
Cuizhu was a little hesitant, Zhao Yiniang winked at Zhao Erniang.
The two of them worked together to lift the green bamboo back to the rest hall on the right side of the back house.
Cuizhu struggled and cried loudly, shouting "Little Master, Little Master."
Seeing Cuizhu crying sadly, she seemed to have become an abandoned woman.
Did Zhao Ping abandon her? Not at all.
Zhao Ping originally wanted to take her with him, but she kept her temper and stayed in her room and refused to come out.
If Zhao Ping wants to strictly enforce military law, Cuizhu will inevitably use dozens of sticks.
But Zhao Ping asked Cuizhu to decide when to come to Xixian on the grounds that Cuizhu had something to do.
When Zhao Ping left, he took with him a thousand personal military battalions and a ten thousand logistics battalion, as well as some urgently needed materials such as thunder iron weapons and other materials for the front.
Of course Zhao Long and Wang Guo'er, the captains of Zhao Ping's two personal formations, were also together. They were Zhao Ping's friends and students.
The road to Shu is indeed as difficult as climbing to the sky.
Except for the mountain road in front, most of the rest are plank roads.
It is extremely difficult to build a plank road and it must be built in the middle of the mountain.
It is to dig a stone hole in the cliff and insert the wooden board into the stone hole.
How long does it take to build a cave? Maybe you would never think of it.
In ancient times, hammers, chisels and chisels were used. Moreover, this had to take a month to complete.
As for how many holes the Shu Road must have, there must be more than 200,000 in total!
It is not on flat ground. How do craftsmen construct it?
No matter how difficult the Great Wall is, it is not built on cliffs.
Not only is it being constructed on top of the cliff, but below it is the surging river.
It must tie a rope around the person and slowly come down from the top of the mountain.
This requires extraordinary courage and the determination to fight with death.
If you encounter a flash flood, there is only one way to die.
Don't be busy, the problems are still to come.
These rocks are so hard that even with a chisel it is difficult to break them open.
what to do? The ancients were full of wisdom.
It means using fire to pour water, first burning the rocks with fire, and then pouring cold water on the hot rocks.
After rapid heating and cooling at high and low temperatures, rocks lose their original hardness.
After the rock becomes pulverized, it is slowly pounded with a chisel and hammer.
After a month or so, the hole finally formed and was able to support the board.
Simply inserting a wooden board into a stone hole is obviously not enough. It cannot support the weight of people and horses.
It was also necessary to add a piece of wood underneath the plank to support it, in order to bear the weight of people and horses.
The planks are only horizontal, but there is a span of one foot between the planks.
It needs to be covered with wooden boards to make it flat and without gaps.
But the problem came again. The wooden plank had no railings and it was very easy to fall off the plank road.
Therefore, a railing must be added outside the plank road.
This railing is more difficult, and the railing must be solid to be safe.
Two more holes must be drilled under the plank road, and a wooden board must be added to the two holes.
These two wooden boards are connected to a piece of wood, and the wood is connected to the plank road as the railing.
With the blessing of the two holes on the plank road, the railings and plank road are strong.
But this is not enough, individual railings can easily loosen, and they must be connected with ropes or wooden boards.
Even then, it's not completely safe.
Wood is not as good as stone. It will decay at some point and must be painted with tung oil.
Even with tung oil, these plank roads still have a service life and must be maintained and replaced with expired or damaged wood.
The scale of its project is no less than that of Qin Shihuang's Great Wall.
Zhao Ping set foot on the plank road for the first time and found that the plank road was not wide.
It is only three feet wide and can only accommodate two people passing through.
If there are three people, the innermost person must stick to the cliff.
But this is only one-way traffic. What should I do if I encounter face-to-face traffic?
If you encounter someone coming from the other party, you must wait in a small pavilion between the plank roads.
With a small number of people, it is just fine, but with a large number of people, it will naturally cause intestinal infarction.
Its weak transportation capacity is the reason why the Hu people dared to attack Xi County with confidence.
From now on, Zhao Ping will be based in Xixian County, and the road to Shu must be opened.
For this reason, Zhao Ping decided to build a Shu Road version of Chi Road in Jintang and Xixian.
This Chi Road is of course two one-way streets, and is twice as wide as the current plank road.
This is not a plan, but is already under construction.
The construction personnel were the pseudo-Hu people who were captured in the two wars between Jiading and Xixian.
Zhao Ping demanded not only quality, but also progress, because he couldn't afford to wait.
what to do? Zhao Ping has many ideas.
First, the method of using explosives to explode instead of burning water and pouring water is not only more powerful, but also increases the progress by almost twenty times.
In the past, it usually took a month to get a hole drilled, but now it usually takes one day, or at most two days.
Second, using prefabricated cement boards instead of wooden boards is not only stronger than wooden boards, but also makes the plank road wider.
Third, implement a performance system to improve efficiency.
Most of these pseudo-Hu people are older Han people, and they basically have no salary in the Hu army.
The young pseudo-Hu people have been retrained to fight against the real Hu people in Xi County.
These older pseudo-Hu people initially thought they were going to be killed, but did not expect that the road would be built.
Building roads is equivalent to performing labor service, which is normal in Hu people's territory.
However, not only did they not receive a salary when working in the Hu, they also had to live far away from their hometown.
Serving in the territory of the Hu people was very miserable. Not only did they not have enough to eat, but they were often beaten with whips by the Hu people.
If you don't have a good physique, you are very likely to die in labor.
When these pseudo-barbarians saw the cliffs, their faces turned pale and their legs trembled.
If you are building here, you could fall down and die if you are not careful.
But if the road is not built, the security team will not give good things to eat.
I didn’t see that these security groups have weapons to kill gods, what should I do?
In an empty dam, tens of thousands of pseudo-Hu people and Hu people stood together, with anxious looks on their faces.
Surrounding them were several thousand security guards, holding ragged knives in their hands and staring eagerly.
Wang Zidao looked at these tens of thousands of pseudo-Hu people and took in their expressions.
He stood on a high platform, picked up a tin microphone, and began to speak.
These fake barbarians couldn't help but be shocked. What kind of microphone was this? So many people clearly heard it.
The security team is really powerful, and they can make such a powerful sound transmission weapon.
These fake barbarians looked at each other to see what the shopkeeper was going to say.
"You are also Han people, and we are also Han people. The Han people will not treat Han people badly." Wang Zidao followed Zhao Ping's request and got close to the distance in the hearts of these northern Han people.
Sure enough, when these fake Hu people heard this, they looked at each other and their expressions became more relaxed.
But this is building a road on a cliff. Oh my god, this is going to kill people, these barbarians thought.
Wang Zidao continued: "You must be tied with ropes. These hemp ropes are very strong and absolutely guaranteed to be safe."
Does the hemp rope really guarantee safety? It is in mid-air, and if it falls, it will kill you. There is worry in the Hu Ren's eyes.
"We and the craftsmen will lead you here to build the road together. They are also tied with the same ropes." The prince said this, which reassured these pseudo-Hu people.
Will we starve to death? Some pseudo-Hu people thought again.
Wang Zidao looked at them and knew what they were thinking.
He continued: "Three meals a day, every meal is enough."
These pseudo-Hu people breathed a sigh of relief, but they also thought: "What should I do with my family?"
Although they had no salary, they still had property from robbery.
If it's not just these, they are very likely to slack off in their work.
"Because you are Han people, the little sage stipulated that you can pay fifty cents for installing a stake and digging a hole." The prince said this, which brought a smile to the barbarian's face.
However, the smiles of some fake Hu people did not last long and disappeared immediately, and they would not let Huizi, that one be worthless.
"Don't underestimate fifty cents. This is a serious copper coin, not the worthless money of the imperial court." They heard Wang Zidao calculate and say, "Every month, there are one or two taels of silver to support a family." There’s absolutely nothing wrong with people.”
These fake barbarians were finally relieved. This was much better than before. In the past, when fighting, people turned into piles of bones.
Now not only is there money to be gained, but life is also guaranteed.
Some pseudo-Hu people suddenly thought, it’s all piecework anyway, so I’ll make progress so I can earn more money.
"This plank road is first of all safe. Not only does it require safety for you, but also the plank road must be safe." Wang Zidao emphasized.
How to check these security, which one can see it? Some fake Hu people thought.
They were shocked by the prince's words: "After the plank road is repaired, you will walk it twice first. Only if there are no problems can you accept it."
Now it seems that cheating and cheating are not possible. The security team has already taken these into consideration, and some barbarians are lost in thought.
"After the plank road is built, not only will you use it, but the descendants of Yin and Yang will also use it. I believe you will not let your descendants fall down." Wang Zidao finally said.
It seems that my descendants must also walk on this plank road and cannot be careless.
Shudao Chidao naturally has a management department, with a total of three sets of people.
One set is the construction workshop, and the other set is the protection department and supervision agency.
The construction manager is Wang Jiuniang's brother Wang Zidao, and the chief clerk is Yu Mohua's uncle Yu Qiyan.
The construction party cannot guarantee the quality, and there must be a supervisor.
The supervisor and shopkeeper is Xi Lingzhu's uncle, Xi Lu, and the bookkeeper is Jiang Ying's uncle, Jiang Shan.
There are tens of thousands of pseudo-Hu people here, and they must be prevented from breaking out. This naturally falls on the security team.
The leader of the security group is Li Hanjing, Li Hanmei's cousin, and the chief clerk is Zhang Jiuniang's cousin Zhang Shan.
These are all the tribesmen or relatives of Zhao Ping's concubine. Zhao Ping uses them not only to reassure his concubine, but also to reassure his own.
This is a characteristic of Zhaojiazhuang. The workshops, soldiers and horses below all have master registers to prevent one person from becoming dominant.
The shopkeeper and camp leader can make decisions, but they must discuss them with the chief registrar, and the policy can only be implemented with the chief registrar's signature and approval.
There are many camps on the top of the mountain. There are not only those of these pseudo-Hu people, but also those of supervisors and construction workers.
Not only can the tent be used for military purposes, but it can also be used for civilian purposes.
The teapot on the fairy stove is boiling water, and six people are sitting on the coffee table drinking tea.
Looking at the security guard holding a ragged sword in his hand, Wang Zidao shook his head.
Xi Lu was puzzled. He looked at Li Hanjing and asked Wang Zidao, "Are the security officers not serious enough?"
Li Hanjing and Zhang Shan couldn't help but be furious. They just came out of the inspection and sat down to rest when they heard this sentence.
Zhao Ping emphasized that safety comes first. The first safety is to prevent the pseudo-Hu people from rioting, and the second is to prevent construction safety.
The two of them were conscientious and meticulous in their work, and were afraid of anything going wrong.
The security regiment's military regulations are extremely strict, and in the event of a homicide, the commander must be held accountable.
Unexpectedly, they heard this when they sat down to drink tea?
Li Hanjing and Zhang Shan looked at each other and were about to speak.
Wang Zidao stood up quickly and bowed to Li Hanjing and Zhang Shan.
"Li Yingling, Master Zhang, you have misunderstood me." Wang Zidao said hastily.
He had to quickly eliminate the anger between the two of them, and their safety also needed their guarantee.
Li Hanjing and Zhang Shan looked at Wang Zidao, waiting for his explanation.
