"Well, please stop my carriage for a while and feed me some juice."
"promise!"
After a while, he saw a young man running towards him quickly, and Yang Gan's face gradually filled with a smile.
"Tao Si, long time no see."
Tao Si, who had just arrived in front of Yang Qian, suddenly froze, his eyes immediately turned red, and he said excitedly, "See, see Mr. Wu An."
"No gift."
Tao Si said excitedly, "Your Majesty, do you still recognize me?"
Yang Gan smiled and nodded, "Tao Si, Wenhui recruited soldiers in the 41st year. Because of his height, he did not join the Xuanjia Army. He went to the Polu Army and experienced military exploits in the battle. Later, due to family reasons, he chose to work in the rear. Now he is transferred The station at the terminal station of the track."
After saying that, Yang Qian said gently, "How is the injury from last time doing now?"
Tao Si's nose felt sore and he almost shed tears. He choked and said, "What a noble person your Majesty is. He is so busy with official duties on weekdays, but he still recognizes a small pawn in the end."
Yang Gan smiled and said, "You are a soldier I personally recruited, so naturally you will remember it."
"Your Majesty, I, I, I am actually~~~!"
Yang Gan waved his hands and said, "Everyone has his own ambitions. You must have a reason to choose the rear, but you have to remember that even if you come to the rear, you are still serving the country. Without the support of transportation, food, and ordnance from the rear, the army in the front may be We don’t even have enough to eat, let alone fight.”
Tao Si nodded vigorously and said calmly, "Your Majesty, when I joined the army, my father and mother were still in good health. I have a wife and children at home, so I can feel at ease while fighting abroad."
"Later, my parents became seriously ill, my son was naughty, and I had only my wife as my wife, who couldn't even take care of the household chores, so..."
"You have a good sense of filial piety. By the way, I heard that you seem to have two children. Are they the ones you gave birth to recently?"
Tao Si scratched his head in embarrassment and said with a naive smile, "I married another one. The daughter was born to a concubine."
Yang Gan's eyes suddenly lit up, he patted his shoulder and said jokingly, "Young man, you have a bright future and your family is quite wealthy."
Yang Qian was very satisfied. His subordinates had a good family background, so he felt relieved. If someone working under him did not even have enough to eat, it would be a dereliction of duty on his part, and he would eventually become disloyal.
Ordinary people can use up a whole family just to get a wife, let alone a wife and concubines.
I have no intention of doing so, but financial conditions do not allow it.
Moreover, monogamy is more conducive to family stability and maintaining the stability of small-scale peasant society.
Government policy also protects monogamy, and polygamists pay more in poll tax.
So if you don’t have hundreds of acres of wealth, don’t think about having a little wife. Don’t think about love. Who would be willing to be a little wife if you don’t have money? As for what it really is about love? That can only be called survivorship bias.
"Thank you for your gift!!!"
"Don't take me for a walk~~~!" Yang Gan glanced at the inn and said.
Tao Si patted his head, smiled and gestured with his hands and said, "Your Majesty, please come with me."
As Yang Gan walked, a group of people followed him, for fear that he would not be well served.
"Your Majesty, this is the terminus of tracks and straight roads. Its biggest function is to provide food, fodder and ordnance. It is specially used for war horses. It is used for preservation and maintenance. It also serves to convey military information."
In fact, Tao Si is also very embarrassed so far. He said that he was passing on military information. So far, he has never even met Mao about military information or anything like that.
This was also the most puzzling thing about him on weekdays. To do this, he had to understand something about it. This was a trick he learned in the army.
In other vassal states, military information and general information are often sent to inns, not to say too much, not too little, but here, haha, what the hell is military information, I have never seen it.
When everyone came to the other side of the track, they saw a construction site covering a huge area.
There are still a few craftsmen busy inside.
Yang Gan raised his eyebrows, "What is this place?"
Tao Si cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, because we need too many special goods here, there are
At that time, more than a dozen warehouses could be filled with the grain and grass delivered in one day. "
"So we can only apply to Shonai to build a connected warehouse and accommodation."
"Unexpectedly, the reply we got was to let us build the city in place. After I submitted the craftsman's design, the superiors agreed."
Looking at the sparse craftsmen in the distance, Yang Qian was full of surprise. The handiwork did not look like Mu Qing's, but looked like Xiao Yu's.
She has been by his side all year round, and her handwriting has become more and more like her.
Yang Qianqi said, "Since the approval has been passed, why are there so few craftsmen? Our Yuntong has very rich experience in building cities. An ordinary small city can be completed in almost a few months. With supporting facilities, it will not take more than 10 years at most." One year."
Tao Si smiled bitterly and said, "Your Majesty, the five counties of Liaodong are now in ruins. These craftsmen were left behind because of my shame. Otherwise, we wouldn't even have these craftsmen."
Yang Gan nodded. No one knew the situation of the five counties in Liaodong better than him. It was indeed a waste of resources waiting to be renovated. This was just a ruined city. If he had to repaint them all, the money he would earn would not be enough for repairs. .
"Although it is a small city, how many specific functions does it have?"
Tao Si smiled and said, "According to the original design, there were two hundred rooms and ten upper rooms. The stables can store a thousand war horses in total. There are twenty granaries, each of which can store 5,000 stones of grain. There are also blacksmith shops and other oddities. Scattered things.”
Seeing Yang Gan frown slightly, Tao Si's heart immediately tightened.
"Can weapons be forged here?"
"Don't worry, Your Majesty. The blacksmith shop here can only repair equipment. Whenever a large amount of food and grass is transported, some parts of the baggage train will be damaged quickly and need to be repaired."
"Yeah~!"
Yang Gan turned to look at Tao Si and said, "Recently, there are rumors that the number of people who migrated from the four counties of Yuntong is less than 5,000. Later I inquired about it and found out that it was due to inconvenient transportation."
"Tao Si, whose problem do you think this is?"
Yang Gan took a step forward, and Tao Si suddenly started to sweat profusely. Your Majesty's momentum was too strong.
"Sir, Your Majesty, this, this, I, our track was originally designed for transportation purposes. It is still very unsafe to carry people, and it is very bumpy..."
Yang Gan shook his head and said with a smile, "Tao Si, how come you have become such a mother-in-law after not seeing each other for several years..."
He was stunned for a moment, then woke up and said after thinking for a while.
"Your Majesty, I will solve it~~~!"
Yang Gan nodded and said, "The foundry in Zhuangzi has a batch of steel, which is very elastic. Wherever the bumpy point is, you can start studying it at that point. You can consider it from this aspect."
In the past, when Yang Qian couldn't do something at work or couldn't meet KPIs, he would make all kinds of excuses in front of his leaders.
Fortunately, the boss has a good relationship with him. If he were an ordinary person, he would have been scolded long ago.
After he became the person in power, he didn't like his subordinates to explain the tasks he assigned. What I want is to complete. If you can't complete it, it's easy. If it's one of his confidants, then find someone else to complete the task.
If he is not his confidant, then just replace the person, the capable one will be promoted and the mediocre one will be demoted.
Tao Si has been in the rear for some time. In the frontier army, subordinates can always say yes, but not no.
"Your Majesty, it is actually possible to make some adjustments. Many craftsmen, officials, and masters come from the tracks. We just consider that the people are migrating and bringing their families with them. Children and adults are fine, but they are afraid of the elderly. One of them is not good. , maybe..."
Yang Gan was shocked, but he didn't expect this.
"You should study first and see if you can make the transport carriage more comfortable. If not, we will find other ways. People can't be suffocated by urine."
"promise!"
At this time, a baggage train came slowly from a distance, and from afar, the horse could be seen running out of breath.
As the distance between sleepers becomes wider and wider, the speed of the horse
Slower and slower, until finally it stopped.
The horse's body was filled with smoke, and it was obvious that it was very hard. Under the guidance of the postman, it walked off the track. The baggage truck was placed in the reserved warehouse under the crane and began to disassemble the materials.
Yang Gan nodded with satisfaction. The equipment and processes here have been programmed.
Good programming means increased efficiency and reduced accident rates.
"If you arrange it, I'm going to take a ride and experience it~~~!"
Tao Si was taken aback and immediately persuaded him, "Your Majesty, after taking the baggage train, many people were so miserable that they almost arrived at the terminal. Some older masters even had to recover for several days before they could stand up. "
"Your Majesty is so respected that you should ride in a carriage. How can you ride in a baggage carriage?"
Yang Gan snorted coldly and said, "After receiving the order from the five counties of Yuntong, they rushed here at night. The oldest ones are already fifty, don't they feel uncomfortable? They are all serving the country, so there is no difference between them."
Tao Si opened his mouth, feeling shocked in his heart. He cupped his hands and bowed deeply to Yang Qian, "No!"
The baggage truck that was just delivered was disassembled in just a few minutes. The classification here is also very interesting. All staple foods are packed in bags, and the weights are almost the same. This is the benefit of unified specifications.
There is a special place for cans to accumulate. Generally, cans are packed in large barrels. Occasionally, they are packed in small boxes, almost all of which are made of wooden boxes. They are of the same size and specification, making them easy to stack and easy to count.
The baggage car was hoisted again at the other end. After a horse was replaced, it was already in standard starting condition. As long as the goods were loaded, it could set off.
Yang Gan pointed at the baggage truck and asked, "What is this loaded with?"
"Your Majesty, these are cans and alcohol!"
Yang Gan nodded, "Okay, I'll use this one."
Tao Si immediately smiled bitterly and said, "It's not like we haven't made progress here. We have special carriages for people to ride on. They were also modified to transport the officials back and forth."
Yang Gan looked at Tao Si in surprise and couldn't help but nodded with satisfaction, "Okay, no matter who came up with it, this person must have some skills. If he is really capable, he will definitely know who it is in the future."
