Although he was a little hesitant, after thinking about it, Chen Xi still felt that this thing was necessary. After all, the Roman city of the Roman Empire had some unique things. How could the Chang'an City of the Han Dynasty not have some characteristics? This thing should be regarded as a feature. . ¡°I don¡¯t have enough engineering team here, so you can make up the work yourself.¡± Sun Qian obviously heard Chen Xi¡¯s voiceover and immediately objected. Sun Qian didn't want to lend engineering teams to others at all. Repairs were being done everywhere. The underground pipelines in each city were not yet completed, so he started the renovation plan of Chang'an City. Chang'an City was still under construction. The viaduct is on the road, but it has not been repaired yet, and now the dam needs to be built. Whoever has more people will build it. I have no one in Sungan. "" Chen Xi looked around and counted the number of people. It seemed that manpower was really tight. The result of construction everywhere was that there were no manpower everywhere. This was indeed a huge trouble. "Forget it, you can build your viaduct and report it to the eldest princess later. You can take your people to the south of Yizhou. After all, compared to the construction and siege in China, the viaduct is still more important. " Chen Xi sighed and said, "After all, it is related to our strategic development. Once we get the Ganges, we don't have to worry about the food problem at all." "Okay." Sun Qian answered simply. Sun Qian's task is also very heavy. If we try to steal people from him, the construction of the southern Yizhou viaduct will basically come to an end. It took almost two years to build a Yellow River bridge, but now it is even at a higher level. Sun Qian estimates that his If it can be done within five years, it is considered fast. "Just use the people who built Chang'an New City. Anyway, it is the plan submitted by the chief water conservancy designer. Let him recruit people from the engineering team. I tried my best." Chen Xi said helplessly, "The construction period of Chang'an City can be Just wait a little and complete it within two years, but the viaduct is really related to the ages, so I can't do it if I don't do it. " "This is no longer within the scope of my duties. I have resigned," Sun Qian said without sincerity. For him, he already has enough things to do, and he still has to travel back and forth. It is enough to do his own job well. The rest has nothing to do with him. "Yeah, don't worry, I will never have anything to do with you. I won't trouble you after I leave office." Chen Xi nodded repeatedly and said that Sun Qian can rest assured that there is no need to worry about these messy things and just do his own thing. That's it. Sun Qian nodded repeatedly after hearing this, and then he probably thought that something might happen if he stayed here any longer, so he went to report to the princess at noon, and took a car that day to go to the south of Yizhou. Now it is convenient to get out of Sichuan. a lot of. "Uh, are you leaving?" Chen Xi came back from dinner in the afternoon and found that Sun Qian's seat in the Government Affairs Department was empty. He couldn't help but asked a little confused. The others nodded silently to indicate that they had indeed left. "There are some other things I want to talk to him about." Chen Xi said with a tangled look on his face, "Why are you running so fast!" "I'm probably afraid that you will transfer people from him. After all, there is a shortage of people for construction now. "This is very helpless." Fazheng said with a smile, "But looking at your attitude, it seems that you really want to ask him for some people?" "Well, some of the things discussed during the meeting can now be implemented. , so I planned to recruit some skilled workers and leading craftsmen from Gongyou, but he ran faster than a rabbit." Chen Xi couldn't help but twitched at the corner of his eyes. He always felt that Sun Qian's danger prediction was a bit surprising. He said this in the morning. Before he even had time to speak, the other party ran away at noon. "What's the problem?" Xun Yu sat up straight, stretched his lumbar spine, and looked at Chen Xi and asked. "Didn't we sell the cement formula to Rome a few years ago? After that, we asked some official businessmen who were doing business in the Western Regions to bake cement in various countries in the Western Regions and prepare to build roads country by country. On the one hand, it was to speed up; on the other hand, It can also save trouble." Chen Xi sighed and said, "It took so long to build the westbound road, but you haven't even arrived at one-fifth of it!" "The manpower we wanted before was only expected to build the road to the Western Region, but you didn't. Now tell us that we need to repair it to Midea, and it¡¯s useless for us to work overtime. You have stretched the mileage by more than five times!¡± Xun Yu said with a dark face. They have worked hard enough here, but what's the use? They agreed to build the road out of the Western Regions. Cao Cao wanted to build it as far as Yumen Pass. He originally thought that this was crazy, but he discovered it later. Yumen Pass is nothing, Chen Xi¡¯s goal is to reach Media. You must know that it is more than a thousand kilometers from Chang'an to Yumen Pass, and from Yumen Pass to Media, bypassing those places where it is not easy to build roads, I am afraid it will take 5,000 kilometers to go up. Xun Yu said that I want to I'll beat you to death, Chen Xi. Is this the road you planned to build back then? ? ??What I said back then was to build westward, but I never told you that we would only build as far as Yumen Pass. You must know that I specifically gave you about 100,000 young and strong Hu captives to do this siege! Chen Xi also said with a look of displeasure, "As a result, you haven't even reached Yumen Pass now, and it's been three years!" " "Is this how you calculated three years? "Xun Yu also felt that he was furious. Although it was true that this road was built since the first year of Yuanfeng, and it is indeed the third year of Yuanfeng, but it actually took two years to build it. Don't they do other things here? What about professional road construction? "Okay, okay, stop arguing, everyone calm down. "Lu Su came out to be the peacemaker, and then Zhang Zhao, Zhang Hong, Zhuge Jin and others also stood up to persuade. To be honest, everyone still feels that Chen Xi's plan for this road is very unclear. Who will build the road? It¡¯s more than ten thousand miles away. Isn¡¯t this fatal? Even the Great Wall took hundreds of years to build from generation to generation during the Spring and Autumn and Warring States periods. In the end, Qin Shihuang only connected these Great Walls. However, even so, Qin Shihuang It also took a lot of time to complete, and now Chen Xi wants to build the road In fact, based on the current situation, the difficulty of building the road for Chen Xi is basically the same as the difficulty of building the Great Wall, because the Western Region is either a desert or a Gobi. Road construction is very difficult. ¡°Okay, I¡¯ll calm down. "Chen Xi took a deep breath and calmed down as much as possible. Xun Yu also calmed down his mood. In fact, Chen Xi and Xun Yu did not have any conflicts. The two guys felt angry because of this road. Chen Xi felt that he was so I haven't missed a beat for many years, but I ended up getting trapped by this road. If this road is repaired, Rome will not be able to defeat you, and it will not be able to hold you back. At least the material transportation problem will not be a problem for Xun Yu. For example, I have never seen anyone design a road that is tens of thousands of miles long and require several years to complete it. I really thought it was the industrial age. Well, even in the industrial age, such a difficult road It can¡¯t be completed in a short time, please be reasonable. ¡°In short, the current situation is that I plan to let the thirty-six countries in the Western Region also start building roads. The roads in Congling will also be extended to the country, and the construction in Media can be postponed. , but first build a road from Chang'an to Congling. "Chen Xi said as calmly as possible, "I have asked the officials to communicate with the thirty-six countries in the Western Regions, and build two roads on the big frame. " "Two? "Jia Xu raised his eyebrows, then thought about the distribution of the countries in the Western Region, and then nodded slowly. He roughly already knew how Chen Xi built the main road. "Well, one is after leaving Yumen Pass, the driver, Weixu, Qiemi, Wusun, leading to Yili, and then going north to connect with Sizhao City. The other route takes Shanshan, Qiemo, Jingjue, Khotan, Shache, and finally Congling. Chen Xi sighed and said, "Let's go forward in two ways. I hope there will be no mistakes. I hope the Thirty-six Kingdoms can be more powerful." " "Have you given up on the countries of Yanqi, Qiuci, and Shule? "Chen Qun asked puzzledly. This is not in line with Chen Xi's style. "No, it's just that we don't need to provide strong support for road construction in these countries. After the other two are connected, then these roads will be connected. Now we don¡¯t have that much manpower. By the way, the craftsman has some good news. "When Chen Xi said this, a smile suddenly appeared on his face, "Although the speed may not be much faster, the transportation capacity will be improved. " "The craftsman is the supervisor? "Jia Xu thought for a moment, "Oh, I've also heard that they have made certain breakthroughs in the power machine and have been able to reduce the difficulty of copying the power machine. Are you planning to get on track? " "Well, if horses are used to pull the cart, the track can indeed solve a big problem, but it doesn't mean much to us now. After all, when the road is straight enough, the presence or absence of the track does not have much impact. "Chen Xi nodded and said, "Without the power machine, it is more suitable to use the track. First build the northwest passage, and then go directly to the track along the edge! " " Orbital? "Cheng Yu raised his eyebrows. The Han Dynasty was actually no stranger to this thing. After all, the Qin State had been on the rail train. Although it used horses as power, he had to admit that the speed was indeed much faster, but it was also efficient. Exchange and burning money is a must. "Let's get on the track. I'll do the wooden rails for insect-proofing, anti-corrosion, moth-proofing and hardening. Do you have any professionals?" "Chen Xi turned to Liu Yan and asked directly. "Isn't it too expensive? If you really want to say it back then, the First Emperor only built five, and you built one that is tens of thousands of miles long. I'm afraid" Xun Yu was a little bit The big-headed one said, ¡°If we don¡¯t repair it, the transportation of materials will be even more expensive. "Chen Xi said with a dark face. If it is not far away, there is basically no need to calculate these things. But once it involves thousands of miles, it is more reliable to use industrial products.
