Chapter 839: Please, Lord Chang'an, Stop Wanting to Build Roads! What a Sin! What a Sin!

In the rear convoy, Han Cang had no time to think about those weird questions.

The data reported by each county passed by Han Cang like flowing water.

With a glance and a calculation, Han Cang had completed the calculation, verification, refinement and summary of the data of a county.

Picking up the pen and writing the important data on another piece of paper, Han Cang sighed lightly: "It's difficult!"

"This is just the account of most of the world."

"If my Great Qin can really unify the whole world as the master said, I'm afraid I will be exhausted to death in this government office!"

Closing his eyes, gently rubbing the throbbing blood vessels at his temples, Han Cang called out: "Wang Zhubu!"

"Send someone to get some hot soup."

Through the curtain, Wang Yi's serious and steady voice came into the carriage: "We are on the way, it's really hard to find hot soup."

"Please wait for a moment, Han Shangqing, I will send someone to the Lantian workshop first, and ask them to prepare it first."

Han Cang was slightly stunned: "On the way?"

Opening his eyes, Han Cang looked at the carriage in front of him and the piles of memorials, and a flash of realization and nine points of surprise flashed in his eyes.

Yes, the king hurried to find Chang'an Jun must be a big thing.

In order to avoid the king having to wait for me when he asks about money and grain, I am following the king to Lantian County by car.

But how could I forget that I was on the road? !

Perhaps it was because the New Year was approaching and there were many government affairs. I put too much energy into handling government affairs and had no time to care about other things.

But I think it was because although there was a tremor in the car now, it was very small compared to the tremor when it was moving in the past!

Han Cang's eyes suddenly became very serious, and he suddenly lifted the curtain and looked at the ground.

Then Han Cang's eyes suddenly shrank, and he ordered in a deep voice: "Stop!"

The driver hurriedly stopped the carriage and prepared to turn around and put the footstool.

However, before the driver got off the carriage, Han Cang had already jumped off the carriage.

Feeling the touch under his feet, Han Cang was stunned.

He stomped his feet hard, drew his sword out of its sheath, and stabbed it into the ground fiercely.

"Dang~~~"

The tip of the sword collided with the ground, and there was a sound of metal clashing!

The ground broke into several pieces, but Han Cang took a look with the sword and found that the tip of his sword was slightly curled!

Ignoring his sore and numb right hand, Han Cang cried out: "How can it be so hard!"

Although Han Cang was not good at military martial arts, as one of the Nine Ministers of the Qin Dynasty, his sword was naturally far superior to the fine swords used by ordinary soldiers.

Even if this sword was used to pierce the city wall, it could penetrate a little, and the tip of the sword would basically not be damaged.

As a result, Han Cang only stabbed the ground with his sword, and the tip of the sword was curled!

This is just the road surface!

This is just the road surface!

It's actually harder than the city wall!

Han Cang looked at Wang Yi and asked solemnly: "Where did this road start to become like this?"

Before Wang Yi could speak, Li Si's words reached Han Cang's ears: "After crossing the middle section of Lantian County, it already looked like this."

"I sent my subordinates to walk along this road and found that this road starts from the workshop area of ​​Lantian County and goes all the way to the ferry of Lantian County."

Han Cang was dumbfounded: "From the workshop area of ​​Lantian County all the way to the ferry of Lantian County?!"

This is a journey of more than ten miles!

More than ten miles of road, all of which are such hard roads.

Is the master crazy!

Li Si walked to Han Cang's side, looked at Han Cang with envy and said: "Chang'an Jun, you are so rich! So generous!"

"You can build such a solid road by yourself without asking for help from the court."

"I just don't know what kind of stone Chang'an Jun used to make this road so hard."

"And what method did you use to make it so that I can't even see the connection between the stone slabs!"

Li Si never hesitated to admit his pursuit of power and wealth, and Li Si never denied his yearning to follow the thigh.

Now Li Si really envied Han Cang.

Ying Chengjiao was so rich that he could even build such a road by himself in a place that was not Ying Chengjiao's core fiefdom.

As a subordinate of Ying Chengjiao, Han Cang must have received a lot of money from Ying Chengjiao!

Facing Li Si's questions, Han Cang had more questions in his mind than Li Si.

Covering his forehead, Han Cang shook his head and said, "I heard that Lord Chang'an built a road in Lantian County, and I also heard others say that this road is unprecedented."

"Of course, the craftsmen in Lord Chang'an's mansion will not take the initiative to inform me of the work. I didn't worry about it before, thinking that the Lord just built a road."

"I really didn't expect that the road built by the Lord would look like this!"

Li Si was slightly stunned: "Han Shangqing also knows nothing about this road?"

Are you still a subject of Lord Chang'an?

Such a big thing, you don't know anything at all?

Han Cang said sadly: "If I had known this earlier, I would have advised Chang'an Jun to stop building the road even if I had to anger him!"

"I don't know how this road was built, but the cost must have been very high, and a lot of manpower must have been mobilized!"

"With such a solid amount of money and manpower to build this road, it would be better to build it longer."

"And the road should be firm, not hard. If it is too hard, it will break!"

"What's the point of building such a hard road?!"

"More importantly, where are the wheel tracks?"

"Where are the wheel tracks?!"

"If there are no wheel tracks, the carriages and horses will definitely move around freely."

"It won't be long before this road will be crushed and dented by the messy wheels, and it will no longer be usable!"

The more Han Cang said, the more distressed he felt.

It cost a huge price, but in the end it was just a road that would not be used for long.

What a sin!

What a sin!

Hearing Han Cang's cry of regret, even the eloquent Li Si didn't know how to help Ying Chengjiao to make peace, and could only say sincerely: "Chang'an Jun has never been wrong."

"I think Chang'an Jun must have his own ideas!"

Han Cang also has the most basic trust in Ying Chengjiao.

But Han Cang can't be sure that there are no villains around Ying Chengjiao, who fooled Ying Chengjiao.

After stamping the ground hard, Han Cang dragged his numb legs and climbed onto the carriage, shouting in a dry voice: "Quick!"

"Speed ​​up to find Chang'an Jun!"

Li Si looked around the smooth road again, shook his head and got on the carriage, and ordered in a deep voice: "Follow!"

The kings and ministers of the Qin Dynasty had different ideas, but they all increased their speed in action, unexpectedly maintaining the overall rhythm of the convoy.

Before dusk, the convoy finally arrived at the workshop area of ​​Lantian County.

Stepping out of the car, looking at the adjacent houses and towering furnaces in front of him, Lv Buwei's eyes were complicated.

This was once Lv Buwei's fiefdom and the residence of Lv Buwei before he returned to the court.

Lv Buwei had been stationed here for a long time and personally planned the Lantian jade speculation case, making the Lantian jade mine the main source of income for Lantian County.

So Lv Buwei knew very well that just a year ago this was just a desolate riverside.

But now, there is a workshop group that can accommodate thousands of craftsmen!

The same fiefdom has taken completely different paths in the hands of two princes.

Lü Buwei took a half step forward, and Ying Zheng was also looking ahead, but his eyes did not fall on the workshop group, but on the black smoke columns!

Being far away, Ying Zheng was able to see the whole picture.

Being at the end, Ying Zheng was shocked!

After a few breaths, Ying Zheng sighed: "No wonder my brother can be favored by heaven and earth."

"This is a sacrifice!"

Compared with the dozens of smoke columns that rushed straight to the sky, even the La Festival of the Qin Dynasty was just a child's play!

Han Cang didn't want to sigh with Ying Zheng and Lü Buwei.

As soon as the carriage stopped, Han Cang jumped off the carriage and asked the brave man who was guarding the gate of the workshop area loudly: "Where is the master?!"

The brave man bowed and replied: "The master is now in the blast furnace area."

Looking at Ying Zheng again, the brave man said in a deep voice: "I will report to the master of the family now!"

Ying Zheng came back to his senses and shook his head and said: "No need to report."

"Take me to see my brother."

The brave man's previous words were just polite. Hearing Ying Zheng's words, he immediately raised his right hand and said: "Your Majesty, please!"

Under the guidance of the brave man, the king and ministers of the Qin Dynasty all stepped into the workshop gate.

What came to them was the endless forging sound and the heat wave that made people breathless!

As everyone went deeper into the workshop area, the atmosphere was also rising rapidly.

Even though it was already autumn, it still took only a short moment to make all the kings and ministers of the Qin Dynasty sweat.

After walking a few dozen steps, the brave man pushed open a courtyard door.

The first thing that caught my eye was a blast furnace about four feet (9.24 meters) high.

Under the blast furnace, dozens of people wearing plain linen clothes, wearing white five-layer silk masks, and their hair wrapped in black cloth gathered together, pointing at the molten iron flowing out of the blast furnace, and dozens of people holding various tools were busy around.

Everyone had a strong physique, and everyone's exposed skin was covered with black dust, and their faces could not be seen at all.

Lu Buwei knew that Ying Chengjiao must be in this courtyard, but Lu Buwei could not recognize who was Ying Chengjiao.

However, Ying Zheng habitually walked towards the man with the dirtiest clothes and the most dust, and called out in a gentle voice: "Brother!"

Ying Chengjiao turned his head, his eyes looked particularly bright and energetic against his dark skin, and then he smiled and called out happily: "Brother!"

Around Ying Chengjiao, a group of black-faced warriors were very nervous, and they all bowed and called out: "Greetings, Your Majesty!"

Ying Zheng first smiled and nodded to the craftsman: "No need to be polite."

Then Ying Zheng walked in front of Ying Chengjiao, looked at Ying Chengjiao's dirty appearance, and sighed in his heart.

Holding his sleeves, Ying Zheng wiped the black smoke around Ying Chengjiao's eyes with the sleeves of his crown robe, and said in a gentle voice full of heartache: "Brother, you have suffered."

Ying Chengjiao said happily: "It's okay, this is all normal."

Ying Zheng felt even more regretful.

He is clearly one of the most distinguished people in the Qin Dynasty, and he has made great contributions to the Qin Dynasty. He owns many fiefs and should enjoy wealth and glory.

But now he is covered in dust and dressed like a commoner, but he still smiles and is accustomed to such a situation!

Without my knowledge, I don’t know how much effort and price my brother has paid for offering sacrifices to the gods!

Ying Zheng scolded in a deep voice: "You are just a child!"

"Don't always take everything on your shoulders, even if you don't tell me."

"No matter what difficulties you face, I can overcome them with you!"

Ying Chengjiao spread his hands and said: "When have I ever been polite to you?"

"Just this matter, I really can't help you."

Ying Zheng said in a deep voice: "But at least, you can stand side by side with me and face difficulties together!"

I may not be able to help.

But I can't let my brother suffer for the country, and I don't know anything about it!

Ying Chengjiao looked at Ying Zheng with some confusion.

But seeing Ying Zheng's firm attitude, Ying Chengjiao still hesitated and said: "Okay~"

Ying Zheng smiled, waved his sleeves, and asked in a warm voice: "What do we need to do next?"

"Your brother and I will go together!"
