Chapter 851 A Miracle that Can only Be Dreamed of with the Help of Gods, Demons and Ghosts! The Foundation of the County!

Zhao Cheng forced himself to calm down and asked instead of answering: "May I ask your Majesty, do you need to carve mountains, valleys, and valleys on this road?"

If the road is built using the method of carving mountains and cutting into valleys, it will be like the original Qinzhi Road in history. Mountains are cut and valleys are filled, and people are spared no effort to build a road as straight as possible to shorten the distance to the maximum extent.

But thinking about the people's power used to open mountains and fill valleys all the way from Xianyang City to Helu City, Ying Zheng waved his hand without hesitation and said: "Just build according to the terrain."

Zhao Cheng calculated carefully in his mind and said while calculating: "The nearest road from Xianyang City to Helu City is still more than 3,500 miles away."

"But today, the entire route from Xianyang City to Helu City is the territory of our Great Qin. Our Great Qin does not need to follow the old path. I make a rough estimate and believe that the total distance can be reduced to about 2,800 miles."

"Today, Lord Chang'an, with the effort of five hundred people, can pave thirty feet of cement road in one day. After it is paved, it will take several people to maintain it for half a month."

"If the road of 2,800 miles is paved with the strategy of Chang'an Lord paving the road today, 340,000 manpower will need to be mobilized!"

“In addition to the manpower required to level hills and valleys and build bridges to avoid water...”

A large amount of data was quickly processed by Zhao Cheng's brain, and he finally came up with a figure that surprised Zhao Cheng: "Fifty thousand people!"

"Without considering the materials, this road can be built with only 500,000 manpower!"

Ying Chengxuan added: "I will make some more redundancies and calculate the cement required to build this road based on the number of three thousand miles."

"Based on the current cement production capacity of Lam Tin Workshop, 600,000 manpower needs to be mobilized."

"But if I really want to build roads with cement, I can spend some time improving the cement furnace, refine the production process, and then choose a location with suitable water potential to build a water mill. The manpower used should be about 300,000."

"When I master my steel-making skills, I am confident that the manpower required will be reduced to about 150,000!"

"As for the manpower required for transportation, it needs to be determined based on the distance between the cement workshop and the road section to be built."

"The Lantian County workshop is close to the Bahe River. If you go upstream to Chang'an Township, you can enter the Weishui River and flow downstream into Guanzhong. As long as the road you build is not far away from the river, it will not require too much manpower."

Zhao Cheng understood, and then even he himself said with some disbelief: "If this is the case, I am confident that I can build this road with 1.2 million people!"

"And if we, the Qin Dynasty, build this road using the method we are currently building, I will need to mobilize at least 13 million manpower!"

Compared with the speed of road construction and the use of manpower in Da Qin today.

The speed and manpower used to build cement roads is simply a miracle!

A miracle that only the gods, gods, demons and ghosts can help to dream of!

A miracle that Zhao Cheng couldn't completely believe even if the facts were placed in front of him!

Ying Zheng's eyes were particularly bright, and his breathing was a little rapid and he whispered softly: "One million and two hundred thousand people?"

"Only 1.2 million people?!"

The so-called 1.2 million manpower only refers to 1.2 million for one month.

If instead of using corvees and instead using convicts to build this road all year round, Da Qin would only need to use 100,000 corvees to complete the road in one year!

For Da Qin, is this a big deal?

Wei Liao said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, if the road from Xianyang City to Helu City can be as smooth as the road from Lantian Workshop to Lantian Ferry, and there are post pavilions along the way like a galloping road, our elite Qin army will only It will take more than sixty days to reach Helu City!"

Ying Chengyu shook his head and said, "What the captain said is too conservative."

"This cement road not only makes it easier for the soldiers to walk, but also makes it easier for the baggage to move."

“The speed at which a strong man can push a Changan on a cement road and the distance it can travel every day are beyond the comparison of a car.”

"I believe that when the cement road runs through Xianyang City and Helu City, ordinary generals and ordinary soldiers will be able to reach Helu City around the forty-fifth day."

"If a general leads an attack with elite troops, we can attack Helu City within forty days!"

Ying Zheng's breathing became increasingly rapid, and he asked in a fiery voice: "Brother Wang, is it true?"

Ying Cheng said solemnly: "It's true!"

"I know what big brother is worried about."

"Once this concrete road is done, if there is really chaos in Helu City, I will arrive at Helu City within forty days!"

Wei Liao also nodded slowly and said, "What Lord Chang'an said makes sense."

"Chang'an Jun has more experience in long-distance marches, and his thoughts and considerations are indeed more appropriate than mine!"

When it comes to long-distance marches, no one in the world today is qualified to compare with Ying Chengyu.

When it comes to understanding cement roads, no one in the world today is qualified to compare with Ying Chengxuan.

The data revealed by Ying Chengxuan certainly surprised Wei Liao, but after careful consideration, Wei Liao realized that what Ying Chengxuan said was not impossible to achieve!

Ying Zheng turned to look at Lu Buwei, smiled and asked: "With the power of our great Qin, is it difficult to conquer 1.2 million people?"

After Lu Buwei counted his breaths in silence, he sighed softly: "This is really easy."

Ying Zheng's smile became more obvious: "Will the local chaos become uncontrollable in the forty-five days?"

Lu Buwei shook his head slightly and said: "Even if the local magistrates are incompetent, as long as the local magistrates do not take the initiative to surrender to the thieves, the rebel army will only be able to break through a dozen county towns at most, and will not be able to fight against our elite Qin army."

"And if it was the Goulian Rebellion, our Great Qin Dynasty should have been warned in advance and sent troops early, and would not have given the rebels so much time."

Ying Zheng's smile could not be concealed at all: "If the local rebels know that I, Lord Chang'an of Great Qin, can lead my elite elites of Great Qin to kill them within forty days."

"Thief, do you dare to cause trouble?!"

Lu Buwei looked at Ying Chengyu with extremely complicated eyes: "There will still be thieves who dare to cause trouble, but there will definitely not be many."

"If Lord Chang'an is willing to obey the king's orders in the future, he will not go to war without orders."

"Your Majesty can even order Lord Chang'an to lead his own troops to sit in Daliang City and attack the entire Guandong within twenty days!"

"In this way, the number of thieves who dare to cause trouble must be very small!"

If Ying Zheng is stationed in Xianyang City and guards Guanxi, and Ying Chengxuan is stationed in Daliang City and guards Guandong, and the world builds cement roads with Xianyang City and Daliang City as the center, Ying Chengxuan and Yingzheng brothers will Enough to suppress the entire Great Qin!

Here they had just raised the flag of a certain subjugated country and elected a descendant of a certain subjugated royal family as the anti-king. Over there, Ying Chengyu, who personally crushed the country, had already arrived with an army that had cut down the world.

Who dares to cause trouble? !

Anyone with any brains will understand that this move is not about reviving the motherland at all, but simply seeking death!

Lu Buwei was filled with emotions, but Ying Chengyu pointed at himself, looked at Lu Buwei with round eyes and said, "Why have I never listened to the king's orders?"

"How can Prime Minister frame me with false accusations?"

Unfortunately, no one paid attention to Ying Chengqiao.

Ying Zheng faced Lu Buwei directly and asked in a voice full of oppression: "Prime Minister, do you still insist on today's advice?"

Lu Buwei really didn't want to answer this time.

In Lu Buwei's view, the enfeoffment system is definitely the best choice for Da Qin to control border areas!

But, how does Lu Buwei refute Ying Zheng?

The emergence of cement roads has made it possible for Ying Zheng to realize his idea of ​​establishing a border town in Xianyang!

Ying Chengxuan's military strength and his fiefdom in Daliang City allow Ying Chengxuan to single-handedly control the entire Kanto region and help Yingzheng correct his shortcomings!

After being silent for more than ten breaths, Lu Buwei finally sighed with regret, bowed his hands and said, "My lord, I take back today's advice."

None of the ministers knew what Lu Buwei had advised today.

They just saw Ying Zheng's unabashed laughter: "Good! Good! Very good!"

"It is a great achievement for Lord Chang'an to make the Prime Minister withdraw this advice!"

"The prime minister has no worries here, and I have no worries here either!"

Taking two steps forward unconsciously, Ying Zheng looked at the unsolidified cement road in front of him and the bright morning sun shining on the cement road, feeling filled with emotion.

Lu Buwei, Wang Wan and other officials had been admonishing him for an unknown amount of time regarding the disputes over enfeoffment and prefectures and counties.

Ying Zheng himself has been entangled in the feudal and prefecture-county disputes for several years.

Today, although Ying Chengyu did not remonstrate, he provided Ying Zheng with the key to solving this entanglement from another angle.

This place is not only the starting point of Changlan Avenue, but also the starting point for Yingzheng to govern the four directions with Xianyang and fully implement the county system!

Suddenly turning around, Ying Zheng shouted in a deep voice: "Order!"

As soon as Ying Zheng said a word, Ying Chengyu ignored Ying Zheng's arrogant mood and kicked Zhang Han in front of Ying Zheng.

Zhang Han:! ! !

Zhang Han never expected that Ying Chengyu, whom he trusted, would suddenly kick him.

Staggering, Zhang Han almost knelt in front of Ying Zheng.

Looking back in panic, Zhang Han saw Ying Chengyu pointing his finger at him and saying with a serious face: "Brother, I recommend Dr. Zhang to build a cement road in Daqin!"

Zhang Han said repeatedly: "I have lost my decency, please forgive me, Your Majesty Wanwang!"

"I also shoulder many important responsibilities such as building blast furnaces and supervising papermaking workshops. I really can't..."

Ying Chengyu took two steps forward, patted Zhang Han's shoulder, and said seriously: "I believe in you!"

"I have always thought that Doctor Zhang is quite capable in military strategy."

"Mobilizing hundreds of thousands of people to build cement roads this time is the best experience for Dr. Zhang!"

"When Dr. Zhang has achieved great results, I will recommend Dr. Zhang as a general!"

"I believe that Doctor Zhang will live up to my expectations, right?"

Looking down at Ying Chengyu, Zhang Han's eyes were a little dazed.

Lord Chang'an actually trusts me so much, values ​​me so much, has high hopes for me, and even arranges training for me!

How lucky I am!

In a daze, Zhang Han raised his hands and shouted: "I will live up to the expectations of Lord Chang'an!"

Ying Chengyu nodded with satisfaction, then looked at Ying Zheng expectantly and said, "Brother, I will recommend Dr. Zhang to take on the responsibility of building roads!"

Seeing Ying Cheng's anxious and expectant look, Ying Zheng said amusedly, "Brother Nai has no intention of entrusting this position to me."

"The task of building cement roads is certainly arduous, but the art of calcining cement is something that only my brother can take on!"

Ying Chengqiu: Huh? ? ?
