The mountain is not difficult to climb, but it is rare to build roads while climbing. The army cooperates and the craftsmen work very hard.
With a team of 30,000 people, 20,000 people were used to build the road, and by the way, they built two huts two miles away.
This mountain, from one side up to the other side, is a total of more than thirty miles.
It's almost 16 kilometers, 20,000 people, two days is enough to build the road, using local materials.
If there are no small stones available, just blow them up. During the explosion, the children from Xiaqiu Village go there and put the explosives in person.
With a bang, a lot of broken stones appeared, and the craftsmen used stones to build houses. Bamboo was obviously not good.
"It took us two and a half days to repair such a broken road?"
At night, Zhu Ping looked back, looking dissatisfied.
Zhu Biao said: "On such a mountain, no one has built this road for thousands of years, because in some places it feels like you can walk directly without building roads.
In fact, it is difficult to crush and transport when it is large, and it is expected to use this mountain to block the enemy.
We use the most elite army and the best team of craftsmen, plus handy tools and blasting.
Without the means of blasting, one can only burn rocks or chisel rocks. Burning requires firewood and pouring water. Where can there be water on the mountain?
If you want to chisel, then go ahead. How long does it take to chisel a stone? "
Zhu Biao frowned when he thought about the difficulty. He was right. Cao Lian Ridge was fifteen kilometers in total, with a climbing height of more than one thousand one hundred meters.
If you don't bring any goods, just for fun, more than 30,000 steps, travel friends prefer it, but most people won't play like that.
What's more, building a good road from above will facilitate the people on both sides to climb the mountain and transport goods smoothly.
When the team saw the big stone, there was a loud bang, shattering everything around it.
What? Maintain topography? There is no need. What future generations will see is what it is now, or how it will continue to be maintained.
"It's really not easy." Zhu Xi looked at the gauze on his right index finger, feeling depressed.
His finger was scratched. After judgment, it was not necessary to sew or bandage it. It would take more than ten days to heal. Otherwise, it would be sutured and the stitches would be removed after five days. It would be almost healed in three days, but it would be very painful and not cost-effective.
That is to say, the wound is not deep and does not need it. Now the dressing needs to be changed every day, and due to the secretion of body fluids, the pus and blood need to be squeezed out.
The team set up camp at the foot of the mountain, which belonged to Lantian County. The magistrate of Lantian County and others came over.
The county magistrate's surname is Qi and his given name is Wu, the county magistrate's surname is Deng and his given name is Liyi, the chief bookkeeper is called Zhou Zhong, and the official official is Guan Chao.
Other petty officials do not need to sign up, and no one pays attention to them.
They were very surprised. The prince's team suddenly turned over from the other side of the mountain. Is this the way it went?
They had received news in advance that the Crown Prince was going to pass by this place on his northern inspection tour, and His Highness the King of Qin was coming with him.
We were passing through Chang'an County, and no matter how we calculated, we should not go through Lantian County.
Who would have thought that mountain...
Moreover, they not only climbed over the mountain, but also built the mountain road, telling the people that they can go up from here. There is a house every two miles. Remember to go to the house on the left. The one on the right is from Luonan County. Of course, you can also live there.
"Qizhi County! This mountain road is not easy to walk on! You need to be careful." Zhu Xi looked at his injured finger and said.
County Magistrate Qi Wu: "..."
"My hand is injured, alas!" Zhu Xi sighed.
'Poof! 'Qi Wu, who had just knelt down, knelt down again: "The crime of lowering yourself to an official position deserves death!"
The other three officials knelt down and shouted that they deserved death.
Zhu Xi: "..."
"Get up for us, what? Do you think I want to blackmail you? Let me tell you, I have countless money, get up! Do you really want to die?"
Zhu Feng was angry. Let's just say that the road is not easy to walk. Later, we will say that it is almost repaired!
The four officials got up and looked downcast.
"The road is well built, and the house is equipped with a stove, an iron pot, spears, knives, salt, rice, and oil, just like a hunter's cabin.
When people passed by, they were not allowed to steal. They had to return it after using it. There were also shovels, pickaxes, and hammers for repairing things.
What I am telling you here is that there are sand and stones on the roadside in Xuancheng County, as well as sheds, and there are shovels and other tools under the sheds.
In the 22 villages in Xuancheng County, no matter which villager he is, if he sees that the road is in bad condition, he will use tools from the shed to repair the road.
Nothing was ever lost, and some people even built a clay stove next to it and put pots and firewood there.
Luonan is my fiefdom, and so is Lantian. I don't want to see anyone stealing things from the house and going home.
I treat the people of my fiefdom with kindness. If anyone responds with ill will, don't blame me for being ruthless when I return to the vassal. "
Zhu Ping threatened that he would leave a lot of things behind, fearing that the people in his fiefdom would not be able to deal with wild beasts, or that the roads would be broken and difficult to repair.
No one steals from the villages in Xuancheng County. If I do it here...
"Don't worry, Your Highness, no one going up from Lantian County will have any problems."
Qi Wu, the magistrate, responded that he understood that if anyone dared to steal, they would definitely lose not only those things, but also His Highness King Qin's...
He has decided to tell everyone that this place can be reached over the mountain, and then let everyone gather a team of people in the name of safety.
Then he asked the yamen to follow him. He said it was for protection, but in fact it was just to watch people and not take things they shouldn't take.
"Okay! What are the local specialties? How many disasters have there been in the past?" Zhu Chong was satisfied and asked simply.
"Your Highness, I arrived last autumn and don't know much about it. Oh! It rained very hard last year, and some houses on the roadside were washed away.
Remember autumn! It stopped raining, and then hailstones fell, hailstones as big as soybean grains, crackling and falling down.
oops! Many crops were knocked down, especially wheat, ugh! Soybeans, not wheat, were smashed.
There are chestnuts. We have chestnuts here. Have you ever eaten roasted chestnuts, Your Highness? This year, a businessman came to collect chestnuts and sell them fried with sugar.
It is said to be an exclusive secret recipe that is passed down from one person to another, and is passed down from male to female. Everyone buys it, but it is a bit expensive, more than twice as expensive as chestnuts! "
Qi Wu was nervous. He came last year, so he didn't know the specific situation. In one year, he hadn't had time to visit each village!
The key point is that the north is Beiyuan. Everyone's thoughts are on the war. Only recently did they get the news that the Ming Dynasty sent troops and won the battle.
"Bring some chestnuts here, have they closed the stall? Tomorrow! We want to see if sugar-roasted chestnuts are passed down from male to female?"
When Zhu Xi heard about roasting chestnuts with sugar, he first looked at his brother and the head of the village. This was originally a way to increase income for the convenience office.
This year I guess the convenience store to the north of the library and the convenience store in Xiaqiu Village will sell more candied chestnuts!
"No, no, no, he collected a lot and lit torches to sell them. Everyone couldn't sleep at night, especially after two meals, they felt a little hungry. Just in time to eat some chestnuts."
Deng Liyi, the county magistrate next to him, interjected, looking eager to buy chestnuts.
