The Three Kingdoms of Farming and War began with the incorporation of the Baiyue

Chang'an City connected the entire northwest highway all the way to Dunhuang County.

Therefore, land transportation is not much worse than water transportation, except for one more tricky problem.

maintain!

Especially the section from Chang'an City to Wuwei County, which has not undergone large-scale maintenance for five years, and many sections of the horse tracks are damaged to varying degrees.

Although the overall impact is not significant, it is very dangerous for high-speed transportation.

After Jin Zhe learned the news, he summoned the nobles in the Sanfu area to discuss the matter.

"Jin Zhe looked at the nobles present with a solemn expression, and slowly spoke, "The road from Chang'an to Wuwei County is the lifeline of our dynasty connecting the northwest, and its importance is self-evident. In recent years, due to various reasons, the maintenance of this road has been slack, resulting in damage to the road surface, posing a serious threat to passing merchants and military transportation. If it is not repaired in time, it will not only affect the circulation of materials, but may also endanger the tranquility of the border."

"I know that maintaining the highway requires a lot of manpower and resources, but it is a matter of national importance and should not be underestimated. I have called you all together today to pool our wisdom and discuss an efficient and feasible maintenance plan. Can we divide the road into sections and have each family take charge of one? This will not only reflect our loyalty to the country, but also ensure the efficient execution of the maintenance work?"

The nobles looked at each other in bewilderment. After a moment of silence, an old man with white hair and beard slowly spoke: "Master Jin is right. It will be of great benefit to us if the highway is unobstructed. However, the maintenance cost is not cheap. Although each family is willing to contribute, they must also do so within their means."

Jin Zhe nodded to show his understanding and continued, "In terms of expenses, the court will naturally provide certain subsidies, and according to the actual contributions of each family, give corresponding preferential policies in taxation, trade, etc. At the same time, I propose to set up a supervisory committee composed of court officials and representatives of each family to ensure the quality and progress of the maintenance work."

When these words came out, many nobles' eyes lit up, and they were obviously quite satisfied with this arrangement. Seeing this, Jin Zhe felt relieved. He knew that only by unity can we overcome the difficulties in front of us and ensure that this vital highway will be revitalized.

"Everyone, the rise and fall of a country is the responsibility of every citizen. Let us work together to share the worries of the court, benefit the people, and jointly protect this artery connecting Chang'an and the northwest." Jin Zhe's words were sonorous and powerful, which resonated with the nobles present. The prelude to a cooperation on the maintenance of the Chidao Road was thus opened.

In the following days, Jinzhe organized a large team of skilled craftsmen, experienced artisans and young and strong laborers provided by various families. They had clear division of labor, some were responsible for clearing the gravel and weeds on the road, and the other part was responsible for repairing the damaged sections due to disrepair. At the same time, Jinzhe also specially invited several experts with considerable attainments in water conservancy to solve the problem of unstable foundations along the Chidao Road caused by rain erosion.

To ensure the quality of the project materials, Jin Zhe personally supervised the procurement, striving for excellence in every step, from the selection of stone materials to the mixing of sand and soil. He also advocated the use of environmentally friendly maintenance methods, such as using local vegetation to stabilize the slopes, which not only protected the environment but also enhanced the disaster resistance of the road.

At the same time, Jin Zhe knew that the power of people's hearts could not be ignored, so he regularly organized meetings with representatives of each family to listen to their opinions and suggestions and solve problems encountered during construction in a timely manner. This open and transparent communication mechanism greatly increased the enthusiasm of each family to participate and made the entire maintenance project progress exceptionally smoothly.

As the project progressed, the Chidao gradually regained its former grandeur and smoothness, which not only improved transportation efficiency, but also promoted economic and cultural exchanges between Chang'an and the northwest region, allowing people in border areas to feel unprecedented prosperity and stability. Jin Zhe's move not only won the court's praise, but also established a good reputation among the people and became a good story.

After solving the problem of Chang'an to Wuwei section, Jin Zhe became more confident and wanted to make further plans. He arbitrarily summoned the nobles from several nearby counties to gather everyone and repair the highway.

As Jinzhe's chief clerk, Hua Xin was worried about this: "Sir, the previous success was due to the right time, right place, and right people. Although the court has commended us, summoning the nobles without authorization may be considered as exceeding authority. If not handled properly, something unexpected may happen." Hua Xin frowned, and said with some caution, "Moreover, the nobles in each county have different thoughts and may not be able to work together as before. If someone is dissatisfied and secretly obstructs, the project may be abandoned halfway, and it may even affect your reputation and future."

Jin Zhe's expression changed slightly when he heard this, but he was still unwilling to stop there: "We are dedicated to the country and the benefit of the people, so what do we have to fear? Besides, if the court knows about our ambitions, it may grant us formal powers and responsibilities. Who knows."

Hua Xin sighed and continued to advise: "Your Excellency is noble and righteous, and naturally impeccable. However, the world is complicated and people's hearts are hard to predict. Why not report to the court first and ask for a formal decree before doing it? This way, you can be justified and avoid many unnecessary troubles. In addition, you can take this opportunity to observe the court's attitude towards this matter, so as not to act rashly and cause suspicion."

Jin Zhe was silent for a moment, a hint of hesitation flashed in his eyes, and finally nodded slowly: "You are right, I was too anxious. Then I will follow your plan, report it to the court first, and then make plans after getting permission."

Therefore, Jin Zhe wrote a letter, detailing the importance and plan of the restoration of the Chidao, and attached the results of the previous project, and presented it to the capital. For a time, the discussion about the restoration of the Chidao revived in Chang'an City, and the actions of Jin Zhe and Hua Xin also quietly caused new waves in the court and the public. The ministers in the court had different reactions to this matter. Some supporters believed that the Chidao was the lifeblood of the country, and its unimpeded operation was crucial to strengthening centralization and promoting local exchanges. Jin Zhe's move was timely; some opponents were worried that proposing a large-scale restoration project at this time might increase the burden on the people, and that the treasury was not sufficient and might be unsustainable. Some onlookers even speculated that there might be a deeper political intention behind this move, trying to use this opportunity to test the bottom line of the imperial power's tolerance for local forces.

After reading the memorial, the emperor did not immediately express his opinion, but summoned several trusted ministers to discuss in the imperial study. After weighing the pros and cons, the emperor decided to consider both the people's livelihood and the country's long-term development. He ordered the Ministry of Revenue to check the treasury situation first, and sent a commissioner to inspect the results of Jin Zhe's previous project. At the same time, he asked Jin Zhe and Hua Xin to further refine the restoration plan to ensure that the project can be completed efficiently and the burden on the people can be reduced to the greatest extent.

When the news came out, there was an uproar inside and outside the court. Although Jin Zhe and Hua Xin were secretly glad that the plan could be carried out, they also knew that there were still many bumps on the road ahead and they needed to act more cautiously. The two immediately began to adjust the plan, striving to meet the requirements of the court and take into account the local reality, while strengthening communication and coordination with all parties in order to gain more support and understanding.

This turmoil over the restoration of the Chidao not only tested the wisdom and determination of Jin Zhe and Hua Xin, but also quietly became a stage for the struggle between various forces inside and outside the court. Every subtle move could trigger a chain reaction and affect the future direction of the country.

In this context, Jin Zhe and Hua Xin decided to adopt a more flexible strategy. They knew that it would be difficult for them to cope with all the challenges alone, so they began to look for and win over upright and influential ministers in the court as allies to jointly promote the restoration of the Chidao. Through many secret meetings, they successfully persuaded several key figures, who not only spoke for them in the court, but also helped to solve financial and technical problems in private.

At the same time, in order to enhance the local people's recognition of the restoration project, Jin Zhe and Hua Xin organized a series of publicity activities to show the importance of smooth roads in promoting local economy and strengthening national defense security. They also set up a suggestion box to encourage the public to put forward reasonable suggestions to ensure that the implementation of the project can truly benefit people's livelihood and reduce unnecessary public complaints.

However, as the project progressed, some hidden obstacles gradually surfaced. Some local tyrants whose interests were damaged began to secretly obstruct and even used public opinion to create chaos in an attempt to force the project to stagnate. Faced with this challenge, Jin Zhe and Hua Xin did not back down, but took legal measures to crack down on illegal activities, while strengthening intelligence collection to resolve potential crises in a timely manner.

In this complex and ever-changing game, the tacit cooperation and firm belief of Jin Zhe and Hua Xin have become their most precious wealth. They understand that the restoration of the Chi Road is not only an engineering task, but also a major event related to the long-term stability of the country and the well-being of the people. Therefore, no matter how difficult the road ahead is, they will remain committed, prove their loyalty and wisdom with practical actions, and lead the country to a more prosperous future.

In order to promote the project more effectively, Jin Zhe and Hua Xin also actively sought support and cooperation from all sectors of society. They organized public hearings, patiently answered people's questions, demonstrated the transparency and necessity of the project, and gradually won the trust and understanding of the people. At the same time, they invited top experts from home and abroad to participate in project consultation to ensure that the restoration technology was advanced and feasible, preserving the historical features while adapting to modern transportation needs.

In terms of team building, Jinzhe and Huaxin focus on cultivating the sense of responsibility and mission of team members, and enhance team cohesion and stress resistance through regular training and psychological counseling. Faced with high-intensity work pressure and various temptations from the outside world, team members always maintain high morale and pure professional ethics, becoming a solid backing for the smooth progress of the project.

In addition, they also innovatively introduced digital management methods, using big data analysis and intelligent monitoring systems to monitor project progress, quality control and safety conditions in real time, greatly improving management efficiency and scientific decision-making. This series of measures not only accelerated the progress of the project, but also significantly improved the social and economic benefits of the project.

As time goes by, the restoration project of the Chidao Road has gradually shown its far-reaching significance. It has not only promoted the integrated development of the regional economy, but also become a bridge connecting the past and the present and inheriting culture. The names of Jin Zhe and Hua Xin have been remembered as a model of courage to take responsibility and move forward wisely in the eyes of later generations. Their stories have inspired more people to stick to their original aspirations and have the courage to explore when facing difficulties and challenges, and jointly write a new chapter in the development of the country.

Driven by the restoration project of the Chidao, the tourism resources in the surrounding areas have been fully developed. The ancient cultural relics and the modern urban landscape complement each other, attracting a large number of tourists to visit and create considerable tourism income and employment opportunities for the local area. At the same time, this project has also promoted cultural exchanges and integration, allowing the ancient cultural heritage to glow with new vitality in the new era and enhancing the people's cultural confidence and sense of belonging.

In addition, the successful case of the restoration of the Chidao Road has also provided valuable experience for other cultural relics protection and utilization projects. Relevant departments have taken this opportunity to further increase the protection of historical and cultural heritage, promote the implementation of a series of similar projects, and form a good demonstration effect. The scientific management and cultural inheritance concepts advocated by Jin Zhe and Hua Xin have gradually been promoted and practiced nationwide, injecting new impetus into the prosperity and development of my country's cultural undertakings.

On a broader level, the restoration of the Chidao has also promoted the shaping and dissemination of the country's image. As one of the symbols of ancient Chinese civilization, the restoration of the Chidao not only showcases China's long history and culture, but also reflects the Chinese government and people's emphasis on and efforts to protect cultural heritage, and has made positive contributions to enhancing the country's cultural soft power and promoting international cultural exchanges and cooperation.

In short, the Chidao restoration project is not only a specific engineering practice, but also a comprehensive project that integrates cultural heritage, economic development, and social progress. Its far-reaching impact will continue to have an impact in the future and will become an indispensable force in promoting the comprehensive development of the country.

In addition, the successful implementation of the Chidao restoration project has also stimulated the public's interest and pride in traditional culture and promoted the enthusiasm of all people to participate in the protection of cultural heritage. By holding various cultural festivals, hiking, historical education and other activities, the Chidao has become a bridge connecting the past and the present and communicating people's hearts, deepening the public's understanding and recognition of the excellent traditional culture of the Chinese nation. At the same time, the ecological restoration and landscape improvement along the Chidao not only improved the regional environment, but also created new employment opportunities for local residents, promoted the vigorous development of rural tourism, and achieved a win-win situation of economic and ecological benefits.

More importantly, the restoration project of the Chidao Road, as a microcosm of the inheritance and innovation of Chinese civilization, has demonstrated to the world China's advanced concepts and practical achievements in the field of cultural heritage protection, and enhanced the international community's understanding and respect for Chinese culture. The success of this project has provided valuable experience for other countries and regions, promoted the deepening of cultural heritage protection cooperation on a global scale, and jointly protected the diversity and uniqueness of human civilization.

In summary, the restoration project of the Chidao Road is not only the restoration of ancient transportation relics, but also the reconstruction of the spiritual home of the Chinese nation. With its unique charm and far-reaching influence, it has injected strong positive energy into the country's cultural prosperity, economic development and social harmony. (End of this chapter)
