The next day...

The First Emperor continued to set out to tour the world accompanied by Zhao Gao.

Zhao Si and his group were led by Meng Yi to set off towards Xianyang.

"Brother! What a wide road!" Jing exclaimed in the carriage.

You can't blame Jing for shouting, even if Zhao Si, a modern person, sees such a wide road, will feel an unimaginable feeling.

The road is fifty steps wide, and a tree is planted three feet apart!

Converting to modern units of measurement, the road is about 69 meters wide.

Even modern people, Zhao Si, could hardly imagine that the Qin Dynasty had such a broad and smooth road.

Zhao Si subconsciously looked at Chidao two thousand years ago with a modern perspective, and finally felt the ingenious work of the ancients.

The 69-meter-wide road is not just a 69-meter-wide road, but is similar to a duplex road.

In the center is the road with track sleepers, and on both sides are straight and wide roads.

The carriage can drive into or out of the road.

And it is worth mentioning that the chariots of this era are a tool of war.

Even just looking at the Chidao that was several dozen meters wide in front of him, Zhao Si had already subconsciously thought of its function.

The chasing road in the center is used to transport materials, grasses, weapons, and weapons at high speed, including combat vehicles, and can also be directly transported on the chasing road.

The wide roads on both sides are for infantry, cavalry and sergeants to follow and surround.

Once you encounter an enemy attack, you have plenty of time to react, and the chariots can even drive out of the road to fight the enemy.

The tracks greatly increase the transportation volume and transportation speed.

The roads are spread all over the major main roads of Qin State, and even though they have never stopped construction so far, they have complete rail road construction facilities, which means that Qin State has extremely high-speed troop aggregation ability and precise strike capabilities.

"Is there no way to the Nanyang?" Zhao Si asked.

Zhao Si, a foreigner, lamented that the greatness and broadness of the Qin Dynasty were understandable. Jing was a local, but he seemed to be a local.

"Of course there is one in Nanyang. At that time, I was young, and ordinary people would go on official roads even if they served. If there were no king's orders, entering the road would be a serious crime. How could I have seen it? I just heard of it when I was a child that there were soldiers who attacked Chu in the village. At that time, soldiers who transported food and grass were on the roads." Jing Kaishou explained.

Zhao Si knew it.

From the perspective of a modern person, the first thing that comes to mind is business, such a vast, flat and extremely strong transportation capacity.

If civilians can be used, the business roads will be open and there is no need to save much manpower and animal power. With the completeness of Qin's road, as long as you open the door, the Qin's commodity economy will flourish in an instant.

However, the Qin Dynasty was a country with a farming and war system, and everything served the farming and war.

Although Zhao Si is a modern person, to be honest, he dare not say whether the role of freeing the control of the road in business will bring good changes to the Qin Dynasty.

The business of the Song Dynasty was prosperous, and the business atmosphere was even stronger during the Southern Song Dynasty, but what was the outcome of the Song Dynasty?

Although Zhao Si did not understand the reasons, he could also know that over-development of business was not a good thing in ancient times.

After all, Zhao Si is a foreigner, and having a certain degree of self-knowledge is one of Zhao Si's advantages.

Even though he had been traveling through the Qin Dynasty for eight years, he had not actually lived in this era. Without experience, he had no say.

The road is indeed faster to travel. Of course, no matter how you ride a car, you can't compare to riding a horse. The road has the advantage of transportation.

Zhao Si didn't know how to ride a horse, so he could only ride the frame honestly.

Fortunately, the frame is not bumpy and very stable when driving on the track.

After walking for a long time along the way, Zhao Si looked at the customs and customs of Daqin.

It was not until it was getting late before the frame stopped at the station under Meng Yi's leadership.

Like Chidao, the station on Chidao also refreshed Zhao Si's cognition.

Nothing else, too big...

It is so inappropriate that it is called a military supply office.

Next to the inn are horse farms, a vast school grounds, and even townhouses.

The difference between it and the military camp is not very big.

"Two and three sons, let's rest here!" Meng Yi spoke with a smile.

This time when he returned to Xianyang, Meng Yi also traveled lightly and only brought two hundred accompanying soldiers.

As the actual person in charge of the First Emperor's grand tour of the world, Meng Yi has to be busy with a lot of things. After sending Zhao Si and others to Xianyang, he must rush back to accompany the First Emperor as soon as possible.

"Yi!" Everyone responded and entered the station under Meng Yi's leadership.

It is worth mentioning that all the inns and guest houses in the Qin Dynasty were official.

And such super-large stations on the road have real administrative levels.

During wartime, as a must-pass place for transporting troops, they have to perform many tasks. In special circumstances, if the king's order is sudden and urgent, the post stations along the way also need to prepare food and grass before the logistics troops fully keep up.

During the non-war period, their main tasks were to raise horses and inspect the road.

Ordinary Chidao and also provide mail delivery services, which are affordable and cheap.

The stations on the road, except for the king's orders and military orders, can be ignored.

In addition, the stations above the Chidao have the power to enforce the law and inspect the power to a certain extent. The most important thing is that the opening of the Chidao must have the order of the First Emperor.

Well, it must be the Wang Ling. The official documents issued by the government do not count, and even the prime minister is not qualified to use Chidao without permission.

To put it bluntly, although they are stations, they are not of high level on their own acre of three-point land, but they have great power.

Of course, compared with Meng Yi, the Shangqing, it is completely ineligible.

After checking Wang Ling and Meng Yi's identities, the staff at the station became more enthusiastic with the naked eye.

This enthusiasm is not only for Meng Yi, but also for everyone.

Although it did not destroy the rules, it also made Zhao Si and others feel more comfortable within their ability.

Zhao Si and others were just small officials, and they were not a good person at the inn, which was really not up to the list.

According to the rules, they even only have free hot water and have to bring their own dry food. They can only sleep in the worst townhouses when they sleep.

Although the basic conditions have not changed now, it is obvious that the bed in the house has been cleaned up by the other party, and even thoughtfully informed that you can use hot water at any time.

No matter how strict the legal system is, it is impossible to forbidden to stick to the favor.

This is human nature.

In the dark room, Zhao Si listened to his companions' whispers and reviewed his own experience.

He didn't know what he should do when he came to this era. When he brought sweet potatoes, potatoes, corn, and even peppers from the sea, he fell into an extremely empty state.

It seems that he has done it perfectly. After doing this, even if he just needs to lie down, he can be remembered in history.

Zhao Si was a little confused about what else he should do, and should lie down straight, but he knew that he was not qualified to express his opinions now.

He needs to listen and watch more!
