Da Wei Chun

Chapter 620

Climbing high and looking far, the sky and the earth are wide, and you can be at ease vertically and horizontally!
But Zhang Jingzhi and Daxi, who stood on the nearly eight-foot-high tower, felt so insignificant.

It is true that Zhenyi City is too big, if it is compared to a sesame seed, Guancheng is at most a sesame seed, and the two of them can be ignored.

The four avenues extend in all directions with Guancheng as the center, from near to far. On both sides of the avenue are the government offices of various ministries, followed by commercial inns and tourists.

After that are countless dwelling houses, although most of them are felt tents, but they are as numerous as ants, dense and dense.After that, it is fertile land.I saw the rice fields criss-crossing, as if reaching the sky.

From a distance, I can't see it clearly, only know that there are many thick chimneys standing along the banks of the river, like countless giant dragons breathing out smoke and fog.

And who would have thought that three years ago, this place was still a deserted and barren land?

So the two of them are like villagers who have just come out of the mountains. They find everything new and ask questions everywhere.

Daxi stretched his neck, put his head out of the wall, stared at the road below the city and muttered to himself: "There are ruts in the road, so it is not hard stone, it should be paved with mud and sand. But why is the texture so solid, so fast horses run fast?" However, there is no smoke and dust?"

Seeing his curious appearance, Li Shiliang replied calmly: "This is the residue (slag) left after the charcoal is burned out, combined with gravel. Mix it with coarse sand, roll it repeatedly, and it will harden after it dries out." Like stone."

In fact, there is still one main ingredient missing, that is, lime, which is combined to form Sanhe soil.Not only can it pave roads, but if it is used to build a city, it is several times stronger than clay poured with glutinous rice juice.

It's just because Li Shiliang didn't know the details, and he wasn't sure whether Li Chengzhi would let Daxi go, so he didn't dare to tell the truth...

As soon as he heard the charcoal residue, he knew it was from Li Chengzhi's hand, and Da Xi secretly thought that it was so.

In fact, he has already seen that the avenue under the city cannot be done without Li Chengzhi: the street is not wide, only seven or eight feet.Compared with Luojing Yudao, which is twenty or thirty feet long, it is not worth mentioning.However, there are many cars, horses and pedestrians, which can be called a busy and continuous flow.

But the strange thing is that there is no congestion at all, but orderly and undisturbed.

Take a closer look: the road is nearly eight feet wide, with a row of stone piles planted in the middle, and the piles are connected by ropes.Then use this as a boundary to divide into two lanes, among which carriages, horses, and pedestrians all travel on the right, one coming and one going, one entering and one exiting, very neat.

And it's not just that: among the left and right paths, there will be a white line every ten feet or so, dividing the two paths into three.Two of them are slightly wider, and are designed for vehicles, pack horses, and those riding horses, mules and other livestock.There is another small path on the far right side, which is only half a foot long, and is exclusively for pedestrians.

In this way, the turbid and clear Wei can be distinguished, and the left and right can be clearly distinguished.

In fact, Daxi had already met him when he was in Jingzhou three years ago.This was the case in the Baijia barracks at that time: people have their own roads, and vehicles have their own roads, each keeps to the right, and has nothing to do with each other.

What surprised him was that Li Chengzhi managed the people so thoroughly by using the method of generals to govern the army?

I was secretly admiring, and then I heard Zhang Jingzhi ask: "Please ask Mr. Huairen, there are lacquer characters printed on both sides of the wall of the chariot, and in the necks of horses and mules, which seem to be heavenly stems, earthly branches, and numbers. I don't know what it means ?”

"What Biejia said, it's called a road sign. Every car on the road, or horse and mule riding on it has this thing. It is issued by the Road and Bridge Department of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, and they are all registered in the book: the heavenly stem is the county, the earthly branch is the county, and the numbers after it are For the township, the party, the ri, the neighbors..."

Da Xi was very puzzled: "Why is it necessary?"

Li Shiliang paused, and only told half of the truth: "If there is a conscript, the Ministry of Civil Affairs will know which household has served in the register and which household has its turn this time, so we will call again. , it is clear at a glance..."

Daxi suddenly realized: Isn't this nameplate just like a person's biography (ancient ID card), and even specific to every car, every horse and mule in the territory?
This Li Huairen is also funny, wanting to fool him?

No matter how clumsy he is, he also knows that this is designed for the recruitment of civilian husbands during wartime.

If there is a war, there is no need for the county and county officials to rack their brains with Xiangjue, and there is no need to force them with strong orders. They only need to investigate and investigate according to the book and order to be recruited.

Anyway, he was already numb with admiration, and Daxi didn't bother to marvel, he just wanted to clarify his doubts.So he pointed to the place where the smoke was coming out and asked, "Where is that?"

"Factories... oh, that is, larger workshops, such as grain and oil factories, vegetable factories, agricultural tool factories, car factories, timber factories, brick and tile factories, ceramic factories, textile factories, clothing factories, shoe factories, paper factories, book factories, Pen and ink factory, etc."

Li Shiliang explained patiently, "Because of the need for water power, most factories are built by the river..."

"In this way, all Xihai's people's livelihood needs to build factories?"

"What Zhonglang said is true!" Li Shiliang responded, "This is also true for military supplies..."

"Can I take a closer look?"

"Nothing is impossible!"

Li Shiliang warmly invited, "Please, both of you!"

They wanted to drive there, but the two declined Li Shiliang's kindness and chose to ride a horse instead.

It was also because he came in such a hurry that he didn't bother to take a second look.But after climbing the tower just now, I realized how big Zhenyi City is.

They even want to know what kind of means Li Chengzhi used to turn stones into gold.

As soon as he left the gate, Daxi's eyelids twitched uncontrollably when he saw the plaque of the Ministry of Civil Affairs.

Rather concise and to the point: Hexi Ministry of Civil Affairs.

And just looking at the two words in front, you can know that Li Chengzhi's wolfish ambitions, and his intention to seek Jiuquan, Dunhuang, Zhangye, and Wuwei's four counties are clearly revealed, and he is even more impatient, and he doesn't even want to cover up.

But the general of Dunhuang and the governor of Xiliang Prefecture, Yuan Zhi, has an army of [-]. Li Chengzhi won, and it is estimated to be a miserable victory. Why did he need to be so urgent?

With a thought in his heart, Da Xi asked suspiciously: "Dare to ask Mr. Huai Ren, what is the current strength of the West Sea?"

Li Shiliang froze when he heard the words, his expression was extremely strange.

Now that you are not a friend but an enemy, are you really welcome?
Knowing why he was scrupulous, Zhang Jingzhi smiled slightly: "He was ordered by Xi to guard, and he only came to help Chengzhi, so even if you drive him away, he will never leave, so Mr. Huairen said bluntly... "

Even if Li Shiliang's city mansion was deep enough, his body flickered in shock, and his face flushed like blood, as if he was drunk.

That's Xi Kangsheng?

If Zhang Jingzhi hadn't said it himself, he wouldn't believe it even if he was killed.

But the strength of the military is a secret among secrets, so how could Li Shiliang reveal it easily.He was thinking in his mind whether it was appropriate to say only half of it, or [-] percent, when he suddenly heard a loud laugh:
"Now I have [-] soldiers in the West Sea, and none of them are inferior to the white armor of the past. I don't know if I can fall into the eyes of Xi Zhonglang?"

The three of them were shocked, and when they raised their heads together, it was Li Chengzhi who did not know when he came to the side.

Daxi's eyes popped, he couldn't even care about Li Chengzhi's sudden embarrassment and embarrassment, he just asked anxiously: "Could it be that you forced it, otherwise why are there so many?"
