…
Since Zhuge Liang was responsible for everything else, Ma Su only needed to repair the road.
For this reason, Zhuge Liang specially gave him the title of "Sinong Zhongcheng", giving him the power to mobilize local officials and people to cooperate in building roads.
But Ma Su felt that he did not need local officials to hold him back.
Therefore, after sending away the envoys from Qiemo Kingdom, Ma Di got busy.
First, he issued an order to lead the Yellow Raid. Li Sheng'er would select 20,000 young Qiang people from the three tribes of Southern Qiang, Eastern Qiang, and Xianling Qiang, and immediately rush to Chengdu to start a vigorous road construction project.
It's the end of March in the blink of an eye.
After a massive loan, the total debt reached 36,800 points.
After Ma Su had a long and laborious farewell ceremony with his first wife, he took the Qiang girl, his eldest son Ma Wen, three major generals and 20,000 Qiang people, shouldered the spade, and rushed to Nanzhong with great momentum.
Four counties.
To be honest, Ma Su didn't actually know where the four Nanzhong counties were and where he wanted to start building roads.
Fortunately, Zhuge Liang, a considerate and all-knowing prime minister, knew that his head had suffered selective amnesia after being smashed in the snowy mountains.
Therefore, before setting off, the map of the four counties in Nanzhong and the complicated local situation should be taught to each other in time.
The four counties in Nanzhong are Zangke, Yuexi, Yizhou and Yongchang. After Zhuge Liang pacified Nanzhong, he divided the four counties in Nanzhong into seven counties in Nanzhong, namely Zangke, Yuexi, Zhuti, Jianning,
Yongchang, Yunnan, Xinggu.
Since Jianning County is located in the center of the seven counties in Nanzhong, Zhuge Liang appointed Li Hui, who was talented in governance, as the prefect of Jianning. He added General Anhan and moved him to Wei County to take charge of the seven counties in Nanzhong. He made Lu Kai the Yunnan County.
Prefect; take Ma Zhong as the prefect of Zangke.
Therefore, the theoretically best road construction plan is to first build a major road from Chengdu to Jianning County, and then build roads from Jianning to the other six counties, creating a "meter" shaped transportation network.
, building Jianning into the core hub of the seven southern counties. Together with Hanzhong and Chengdu, it has become the three core areas distributed in the north, middle and south of Shuhan.
"This, isn't this the Three Kingdoms version of the Southwest Development..."
Hundreds of miles south of Chengdu, in the large tent of the engineering team, Ma Di took a breath of cold air, and then his scalp became numb.
A similar scenario comes to mind.
The Qiang girl knelt on the mat, holding her chin with her hands, tilting her head, and looked at Ma Su in trance.
She felt that Ma Su's serious-thinking temperament was very explosive and penetrating. Even though he was separated by a thick mass of fat, he still accurately hit the softness deep in her heart.
Ma Su fixed his gaze on the distorted map of Nanzhong, pointed at the location of Jianning County, and drew five routes in sequence to form the character "meter".
The first one, from Jianning to the north - Zhuti - Chengdu, the distance is about 1,000 miles.
Article 2: Go east from Jianning to Xinggu (400 miles), then east to Zangke (600 miles), the total distance is about 1,000 miles.
Article 3: From Jianning to the northwest - Yuexi, the distance is about 1,000 miles.
Article 4: From Jianning to Yongchang in the southwest, the distance is 1,000 miles.
Article 5: From Jianning to the southeast - Yunnan, the distance is 1,000 miles.
"There are hundreds of thousands or even millions of barbarians in Nanzhong. Once these five thousand miles of road are built, the Nanzhong area will be firmly integrated with Yizhou. In this way, won't the Shu Han be about to take off!"
"However, we have to build 5,000 miles of roads here alone...hiss!"
Ma Su's heart beat wildly: "It's really going to kill me."
"Although there are ready-made roads, the amount of work required to widen, reinforce, and pave the road is not small. Moreover, what should be used to pave the road? Dirt road or stone road? How is the progress of the project? I don't have any experience at all?"
Although there was no cement in this era, road construction technology was still very advanced. Generally speaking, there are three types of roads.
The first is the cooked earth road. The cooked earth is to stir-fry the earth with fire, and then roll it evenly several times with huge rolling stones, which ensures the hardness and durability of the road, and there will be no insects or grass. When the Qin Dynasty destroyed the Six Kingdoms,
Most of the roads built in the world are of this type, allowing an army of millions to pass without hindrance.
The advantage of building roads with mature soil is that it is convenient and fast. If there are many people, it can build 40 to 50 miles of road in a day. The disadvantage is that the service life is relatively short and the resistance to rain erosion is poor. Basically, it will collapse after a few heavy rains.
The second is the floor tile road. In the Western Han Dynasty, there were large floor tiles fired from loess, which are very hard and resistant to roughness. Just lay them on the ground after leveling them. There were no heavy-duty vehicles or overloaded vehicles in this era, so they were completely sufficient for daily use.
.
The advantage of floor tiles is that they are beautiful and durable, and they can be laid very quickly. As long as the floor tiles are supplied, it can easily be done twenty or thirty miles a day. The disadvantage is that it consumes time and money.
Third, the floors of large buildings such as stone and palaces are mostly paved with marble, granite and other materials, which are very durable. Even in later generations two thousand years later, many ancient alleys still have well-preserved stone roads.
The advantages of stone roads are that they are cheap, durable, and can be made from local materials; the disadvantages are that they are too heavy, are polished into slabs, require a huge amount of transportation work, and are very slow to lay. They can only be laid several miles a day. They are also very labor-intensive and will not work for long.
Tired to death.
You know, with continuous and high-intensity labor, no matter how hardy a man is, he will become as fragile as a piece of paper.
"Which one should I use?"
"Curved dirt roads are not durable, brick roads are expensive, and stone slab roads are laborious and expensive."
Ma Su frowned and hesitated for a moment.
It stands to reason that among these three roads, the best choice must be the brick road.
But the problem is, the engineering team of 20,000 people has problems eating and drinking. How can they still have money to hire people to make floor tiles?
"Then how should this road be repaired?"
After a while, Ma Su himself gave the answer.
"It would be nice if there was cement."
"Yes, cement!"
Although there was no cement in this era, something similar to concrete has appeared in stone buildings. That is, clay, sand, white plaster mud, glutinous rice juice, etc. are mixed and stirred. After solidification, they form a strong adhesive force and can
Sand, stone and other materials are firmly cemented together.
"It still doesn't work! There's not enough food to eat, where's the glutinous rice juice coming from?"
Ma Su quickly rejected this idea and sighed: "It would be great if there were volcanic ash."
Using volcanic ash instead of clay and glutinous rice juice can also create the cement road of the Three Kingdoms era.
The mixture erupted from volcanic ash has properties very similar to cement. Concrete made of cement with sand and gravel not only has higher strength after hardening, but also can resist the erosion of fresh water or salt water. In later generations, it served as an important cementing material.
, widely used in civil construction, roads, water conservancy and other projects.
"But where to find volcanic ash?"
Ma Su's heart was moved, he turned around and grabbed the Qiang girl's wrists with lightning speed, pulled her to him, widened his eyes and asked: "Great wizard, do you know where there is a volcano?"
"Yes, I am willing..." The Qiang girl who was in a daze suddenly noticed that Ma Su's big face was close at hand, and seemed to be about to attack her. She was frightened immediately, and responded in a panic, lowered her head and said: "Qiang girl
There are volcanoes on the ground”
"Is it nearby? Not there?" Ma Su stared at the two hair swirls on her head and asked, but unfortunately there was no answer this time.
Two hair swirls, according to folk proverbs, means many children and good fortune. They are very likely to have children...
The Qiang girl lowered her head and shook her head like a rattle, with her hair flying and the fragrance floating in the air; her beauty was charming.
Ma Su let her go angrily.
Since he had been communicating with his first wife for a long time when he arrived, he felt more sage in his heart at the moment, so Ma Su chose to let her go and continue to think about the problem of road construction.
Have to check around.
Ma Su thought to himself, so he called Zhang Xiu and asked him to look around to see where there was an extinct volcano.
He vaguely remembered a rumor about an extinct volcano around Chengdu... In 240 AD, when the Shu Han general Xiang Chong led his army to conquer the Han and Jia barbarians in the south, the Longping Mountain volcano erupted suddenly on the way, staining the streams red with blood, and he died in silence.
Whether this rumor is true or false, it means that there is an extinct volcano here.
While waiting for the news, Ma Su began to study the route carefully.
Several other roads can be laid later, but the Chengdu-Jianning, Jianning-Yongchang and Jianning-Yunnan roads are the top priority.
In this era, roads mean tentacles. The places that can be reached by roads are the places that Shu Han can actually control.
Ma Su thought about it in his mind, looked at the map carefully, and finally marked the route from Chengdu to Jianning.
Shu Han's take-off starts from these 1,000 miles!
Zhang Xiu quickly turned around and brought back an honest man in his thirties. The honest man stammered and described for a long time, only saying something vague and unclear.
Ma Su helped him condense it and summarized it in eight words: "There are volcanoes, but good chickens are dusty!"
"Hahaha!"
"God is really helping me!"
Ma Su jumped out of the tent, spread his arms and looked up to the sky, laughing wildly, a heroic spirit that seemed to control the world well up in him.
"Miracles are calling me!"
"I, Ma Su, have never relied on cheats in my life!"
After saying that, he bent down and picked up the Qiang girl.
A dig at your feet.
With a big wave of his hand, he said: "My sons! With the spade in your hand, follow me; dig up mountain ashes and build a road to heaven!"
Although the generals and Qiang people did not know why Ma Su was happy, there was no doubt that they were all deceived by his highly inflammatory words.
One after another, they picked up their spades and wooden frames and strode to keep up with the pace.
A huge infrastructure project is coming soon.
…………
Chengdu, Prime Minister's Mansion, Study Room.
Zhuge Liang was reading the reports reported from various places, and at the same time listening to the chief clerk Yang Yi's report on Ma Su's latest developments.
Judging from the information only heard, the road construction situation is progressing smoothly, and the 20,000 Qiang workers are very motivated. Although all the work is not ready, as long as Ma Su contacts local officials, the project can start.
Zhuge Liang is a veteran of the Shu Han Dynasty. He has been in the position of prime minister for twenty years and has seen all kinds of subordinates, including those who fish, some who are incompetent, and some who are down-to-earth and willing to work.
To be honest, he has never seen such a passionate subordinate as Ma Su, who loves everything he does. His whole person is like a little sun, infecting everyone who is close to him, and he almost treats the prosperity of Shu Han as a lifelong belief.
He is actually more dedicated than the Prime Minister!
If all his subordinates had a character like Ma Su, why worry about the Shu Han not being prosperous? He would not need to spend so much thought and energy to support the overall situation of the Shu Han.
Therefore, even though the road construction had been delayed for a month and had not started yet, Zhuge Liang still showed the greatest patience to Ma Di.
Youchang is not a person who likes to brag. If he says it can be done, it will be done.
Although in his heart, Zhuge Liang also felt that building a road of five thousand miles of arterial level within one year was a fantasy, but he was still willing to believe in Ma Su again.
There is no other reason for this. All the things I often boasted about when I was young have come true.
When he came back to his senses, he saw that Yang Yi hadn't finished talking nonsense, and was still talking about "how Ma Su took the girl away from serious business" and "how he wasted the money of the treasury on entertainment all day long". Zhuge Liang suddenly didn't want to listen to him anymore.
After being long-winded, he waved his hand and said:
"Mr. Wei, have the cubs been put into every lake?"
In fact, what Zhuge Liang wanted to say is: Wei Gong, you don't have to look at Ma Su every day, because he no longer sees you.
You two are no longer on the same level.
Yang Yi was startled and replied: "Let it go, it has been released into all the lakes around Chengdu..."
"Where are the counties in central Sichuan?"
Sweat suddenly broke out on Yang Yi's forehead: "This, this is being put in, is being put in..."
"Have potatoes been distributed to every household?"
"It's going on, it's going..."
"Where's the Fertility Water for Hardworking? Can every young and strong person get it?"
"Uh, this..."
"What about the total population statistics of Shu Han? Have they been completed?"
"Uh... Prime Minister, why don't you go back and urge the people in the Ministry of Revenue now?"
"Well, we have to hurry up." Zhuge Liang nodded.
Yang Yi, who was sweating profusely, secretly breathed a sigh of relief and resigned as if fleeing.
