When Ji Han and his men traveled to the Three Kingdoms crew

Chapter 587 Let the Indian King know what the Han Dynasty’s kingly army is!
As the war against India was finalized, the entire Han Dynasty began to move at full speed like a precision machine.

Food and supplies from all over the country quickly gathered in Chang'an via horse-drawn carriages running on wooden tracks.

These wooden tracks are not rare.

It appeared as early as the Qin Dynasty, and it is very likely that the Qin Emperor built this road for logistical supplies.

The wood used to make the tracks is hard and has been treated with anti-corrosion treatment, so it is in very good condition.

If we put it in today's Han Dynasty, we can still find the track of the Qin Dynasty.

The wooden track bed is rammed very solidly, and the sleepers are laid on the bed. The sleepers are not as hard as the wood used to lay the track, but are softer.

Firstly, it can reduce the workload. Secondly, the relatively soft sleepers can be closely combined with the very hard roadbed, so that the track is stable and the car can run quickly and smoothly on it.

The distance between two sleepers is very particular. According to the investigation and research by the craftsmen of Shangfang Mansion, the distance between the sleepers must be in sync with the horse's steps.

In this way, once the horse pulls the cart onto the track, it will involuntarily undergo self-excited oscillation, and not only can it run very fast, but it will also be almost impossible for it to stop.

So, how to stop the horse became a problem.

Fortunately, this problem did not bother the chief craftsman. They set up a special station with wood filling between the sleepers. The horses were well fed and rested here. Once needed, they could be harnessed to the cart and gallop without stopping.

At the next station, the space between the sleepers is filled and leveled, so the horse can gradually slow down and stop. Another well-fed and well-rested horse is replaced and the horse continues to gallop. This way, it can reach a very high speed. Because the rails are used, the friction is greatly reduced, so the horse can also pull a lot of goods at a time.

In this way, a lot of food and supplies could be mobilized in a short period of time. Since the horses galloped on the wooden tracks, Liu Xie also called this road "Chidao".

Liu Xie has never been a stingy person, and he rewarded all the craftsmen who worked on the problem of the highway.

He waved his hand and conferred titles upon them all.

After conferring the title, Liu Xie felt a little regretful and couldn't help but get nervous. Oh no, will the emperor's uncle scold me?

Liu Xie found Liu Bei with a nervous mood.

What he didn't expect was that Liu Bei was not angry at all, but was smiling.

Liu Xie couldn't help but ask, "Uncle, are you suffering from hysteria?"

Liu Bei's smile immediately fell and the corners of his mouth twitched.

Liu Xie was startled, and a phantom pain in his buttocks arose in his heart. He immediately added: "I was just joking."

Liu Bei knew that Liu Xie did not do it on purpose, and of course he could see that Liu Xie was afraid. He just thought it was funny, Liu Xie was already an adult and the emperor, so there was no way he would take off his shoes to hit the emperor, right?

Shaking his head, Liu Bei didn't care about what Liu Xie just said, but explained the whole story, "Your Majesty, I think Your Majesty should reward the craftsmen, and not just the craftsmen who solved the problem of the road, but also other craftsmen. Without the craftsmen studying and working on the equipment, how could the carriages be so stable? How could the grains be shelled so quickly? Farmland irrigation, cement roads, coal for heating in winter, printing for making books, etc., without the craftsmen, how could these skills appear in the Han Dynasty, and how could the Han Dynasty be as prosperous as it is today?"

"Yes, yes! The uncle is right!" The more Liu Xie thought about it, the more he felt that Liu Bei was right. His thoughts were uncontrollably scattered. If there were no craftsmen, how could I have strong armor and sharp weapons? Confer a title! They all must be conferred a title of nobility!

Liu Xie said excitedly: "Listening to the words of the emperor's uncle is better than reading ten years of books! I will ask the Shangshutai to draw up a list of rewards for titles according to the size of the merits."

Hey, Pu Yuan is definitely on the list, should we rank him first? No, no, if we rank Pu Yuan first it will be too conspicuous.
Liu Xie suddenly changed the subject, "Uncle, the war is imminent. We have to confer the title of marquis on the craftsman, but... it's better not to make it public, right? Uncle, what do you think?" "I think your majesty is right." Liu Bei naturally saw through Liu Xie's thoughts, but there was no big problem with Liu Xie's considerations.

"Haha, since the emperor's uncle thinks it's okay, then let's do it!"

Liu Xie was instantly filled with confidence. He shouted to the eunuch, "Go, call Kong Ming to me!"

"promise."

As soon as the eunuch uttered a "yes", Liu Xie immediately changed his mind, "Forget it, forget it, I'll go there myself. Do you want to go with me, uncle?"

"it is good."

After Liu Xie and Liu Bei arrived at the Secretariat, Fa Zheng warmly welcomed them.

Liu Bei was a little puzzled, "Why is Kong Ming not here?"

This question also aroused Liu Xie's curiosity, and Liu Xie stared at Fa Zheng with burning eyes.

Fa Zheng smiled bitterly, "Your Majesty, General. To be honest, we have been preparing to attack India these days. Kong Ming likes to do everything by himself. He is overworked, so I sent him back home."

"Uncle Zhuge, no, Kong Ming is confused, so confused! Kong Ming is not only talented in writing, but also proficient in boxing. But in terms of boxing, can he compare with me, General Shenwei Tian, ​​and General Shenwei Di? How can he imitate the emperor's uncle?" Liu Xie said with great sorrow, but as he was speaking, why did the emperor's uncle stop talking?
Little did he know that Liu Bei was really reminded of his past by Liu Xie's words. Thinking of that hard-working time, he was shocked. Oh no, did I really set a bad precedent for Kong Ming? No, I must change it!

"Your Majesty, Xiaozhi. I'll go see Kongming!"

After saying this, he clasped his fists and left in a hurry, leaving Fa Zheng and Liu Xie staring at each other.

"Your Majesty, you are here this time."

"Hey, it's just a small matter. Sorry to bother you, Shang Shu Ling, to sort out the merits of the Shangfang Mansion's craftsmen, and select the craftsmen who are qualified to be granted the title of nobility according to the size of their merits." As he spoke, Liu Xie coughed a few times and gave a look that said you know what I mean. "Ahem, of course, that Pu Yuan, I think he is also worthy of being granted the title of nobility."

Fa Zheng looked at Liu Xie in surprise. No, when did being conferred a title of nobility become a trivial matter? Why did he want to confer a title of nobility on Pu Yuan, who had just been appointed as the chief architect?
Isn’t this too biased?

But he likes it.

"Don't worry, Your Majesty. I'll take care of this matter!"

After walking out of Zhuge Liang's house, Liu Bei breathed a sigh of relief. After a lot of persuasion, he finally calmed Zhuge Liang down and let him rest at home.

Liu Bei always felt that this was only a temporary solution and not a fundamental solution, but he couldn't care less about it now.

Liu Bei rushed back to the general's mansion. Although he had a general, he did not have much real power. Instead, as the general, he was in charge of the military and political affairs of the country.

Under Liu Xie's instructions, the General's Office quickly selected the generals for this battle.

The general Guan Yu was in charge of commanding the three armies. Zhang Fei was the vanguard general, Dian Wei, Xu Zhu and others were officers, Ma Chao and Ma Dai were military supervisors, and Pang Tong and Xun You were military advisors.

Liu Xie clenched his fist and smashed it hard on the map of Tianzhu. "Good, good, good! Let the king of Tianzhu know what the Han Dynasty's kingly army is!"
