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 for it 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 Chang'an City renovation plan. Chang'an City was still under construction. The viaduct has just been put on the road. The viaduct 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 seems that manpower is really tight. The result of construction everywhere is that there are no manpower everywhere. This is indeed a huge trouble.
"Forget it, you can build your viaduct and report 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 River, we don't have to worry about food issues at all."
"Okay." Sun Qian replied simply.
Sun Qian's task is also very heavy. If we try to steal more people from him, the construction of the southern Yizhou viaduct will basically come to an end. Back then, it took almost two years to build a Yellow River bridge, but now it is even at a higher level. Sun Qian reckons 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's the plan submitted by the chief water conservancy designer. Let him recruit people from the engineering team. I've tried my best." Chen Xi said helplessly, "The construction period of Chang'an City can be Just take it slow and complete it within two years, but the viaduct is really going to involve generations to come, so it won’t work if we don’t do it.”
"This does not fall within the scope of my functions. I have resigned." Sun Qian said without sincerity. For him, he already had enough things to do, and he had to travel back and forth. He just had to do his job well. That's enough, nothing else has to do with him.
"Yeah, don't worry, I will never have anything to do with you. I won't bother 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 when he heard this, and then he probably thought 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 the south of Yizhou. It was now convenient to leave 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 communicate with him." Chen Xi said with a confused look, "Why are you running so fast!"
"Maybe he is afraid that you will transfer people from him. After all, there is a shortage of people for construction now, which is very helpless." Fazheng said with a smile, "But looking at your posture, 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 it turned out that he ran faster than a rabbit." Chen Xi's eyes twitched involuntarily. After two times, I always felt that Sun Qian's danger prediction was a bit shocking. He didn't even have time to speak in the morning, and the other party ran away at noon.
"What's the problem?" Xun Yu sat up straight, stretched his waist, and looked at Chen Xi and asked.
"Didn't we sell the cement formula to Rome a year 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 some trouble." Chen Xi sighed and said, "The westbound road has been built for so long, and you haven't even reached one-fifth of it!"
"The manpower we needed before was only to build the road to the Western Region. But now you tell us that we need to build it to Media. 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 a 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 found out 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, 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 didn't tell you that we would only build as far as Yumen Pass. You must know that I gave you about 100,000 young and strong Hu captives to do this siege!" Chen Xi was also confused! He said with an unhappy face, "It turns out you haven't even completed the Yumen Pass yet, and it's been three years!"
"Is this how you calculate three years?" In two years, don't they do other things here, professionally build roads?
"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. Whoever builds the road will travel more than ten thousand miles. 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 together. However, even so, Qin Shihuang also spent a lot of time to complete it, and Now Chen Xi wants to build roads...
In fact, based on the current situation, Chen Xi's difficulty in building roads is basically the same as that of building the Great Wall, because the Western Regions are either deserts or Gobis, making road construction very difficult.
"Okay, I'll calm down." Chen Xi took a deep breath and calmed down as much as possible. Fire.
Chen Xi felt that he had basically never made a mistake in so many years, but in the end he was trapped by this road. If this road was repaired, what would happen to Rome? .
As for Xun Yu, 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 if it is the industrial age, such a high level of difficulty
The road cannot 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 on the Congling side will also be extended to the country. The construction on the Media side can be postponed, but a road from Chang'an to Congling will be built first."
Chen Xi said as calmly as possible, "I have asked the officials to communicate with the thirty-six countries in the Western Regions to 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, roughly knowing how Chen Xi built the main road.
"Well, one way is after leaving Yumen Pass, taking Cheshi, Weixu, Qimi, Wusun, leading to Yili, and then going north to connect with Sizhao City. The other way is going to Shanshan, Qiemo, Jingjue, and Khotan
, Yarkand, and finally to Congling." Chen Xi sighed and said, "Let's go forward in two ways. I hope there won't be any mistakes. I hope the Thirty-Six Kingdoms can give more strength."
"Have you given up on the countries of Yanqi, Qiuci, and Shule?" Chen Qun asked in confusion. This is not in line with Chen Xi's style.
"No, it's just that we don't need to support these countries in building roads now. After the other two are connected, we can then connect these roads as well. Now we don't have that much manpower. By the way, the craftsman has made a good project.
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."
"Master Craftsman?" Jia Xu thought for a moment, "Oh, I've also heard that they have made certain breakthroughs in the power machine, and they 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 of the track does not have much impact." Chen Xi clicked.
He nodded and said, "Without the power machine, it is more suitable to use the track. Build the northwest passage first, and then go directly to the track along the edge after repairing it!"
"Track?" Cheng Yu raised his eyebrows. The Han Dynasty was actually familiar with this thing. After all, Qin State had been on the track train. Although horses were used as power, he had to admit that the speed was indeed much faster, but
Also in exchange for efficiency, burning money is a must.
"Let's get on the track. The wooden track will be insect-proof, anti-corrosion, moth-proof, and hardened for me. Are there any professionals?" Chen Xi turned to Liu Yan and asked directly.
"Isn't it too expensive? If you really want to say that back then, the First Emperor only built five, and you built one that was tens of thousands of miles long. I'm afraid..." Xun Yu said a little big-headed.
"If you don't repair it, the transportation of materials will be 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.
