Zhao Lin still did not agree to let her family follow Chen Mu to Jinan.
Something to be expected.
Zhao Lin is the talent that Chen Mu wants to recruit when he plans to establish an intelligence department, but these are just ideas at the moment and can never be put forward now.
So it's just a game planned within five years. There is plenty of time, and the world will change in the future.
On the second day, a carriage drove out of Luoyang City. Dian Wei led more than 20 soldiers to escort him and drove slowly toward the outside of the east city.
Along the way, the Su Market in Dongshi seemed to have become more lively several times overnight. The floor heating facilities have revitalized Luoyang's economy. A large number of disaster victims have jobs and money in their hands, which will also stimulate other industries.
Buy new clothes, buy food, and improve the living environment. Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty deliberately increased the cost to subsidize labor, so as to give the victims more money to support their families.
The good thing about this policy is that Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty did not just leave the craftsmen and personnel to the officials and ignore them, but everyone who wants to install floor heating in their home must find Bi Lan and Song Dian, and then Bi Lan and Song Dian will be installed.
Song Dian is responsible for coordinating manufacturing.
In this way, the project was in the hands of Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty. He had the final say on the cost and how much it would cost. He also hired the personnel. This eliminated the middle layer of exploitation and the money could go directly to the victims.
in hand.
After wealthy people and officials have installed floor heating in their homes, the only thing they need is to hire people to light fires and buy coal, charcoal, firewood, etc.
However, in the manorial economy of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the aristocratic family bureaucracy had countless slaves and servants in the house. Therefore, apart from purchasing people, there were very few people who actually hired people to do work, and it could not produce much effect.
But even so, hundreds of thousands of homes in Luoyang have installed floor heating, which will require as many as 100,000 young workers. Some families even take this opportunity to renovate their houses and carry out large-scale construction projects to drive more economic development.
The blacksmiths in the city were coordinated by the Shaofu and the officials who would be the master craftsmen, and they worked overtime to make iron pipes. Since Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty controlled the production of iron ore, the raw material output of iron was still in his hands, and large-scale use of iron was
Under such circumstances, Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty himself also made a lot of money, and coins in the West Garden piled up like mountains.
It is conservatively estimated that the cost of floor heating for a house of 100 square meters is probably more than tens of thousands of dollars. A house of thousands of square meters like the Jade Hall of Han Ling Emperor will cost millions to tens of millions of dollars, and the material and labor costs are huge.
, the money that directly flows through Bi Lan and Song Dian’s hands amounts to hundreds of millions.
Don't think this is impossible. Due to the backward mining technology, iron in the Eastern Han Dynasty is not that cheap. A three-foot-four-inch wrought iron sword costs 600 yuan. An iron pipe requires more materials than a piece of wrought iron.
Swords can be many times more numerous, weigh dozens of kilograms, and cost at least a thousand yuan. To cover a house requires dozens to hundreds of iron pipes.
The Jade Hall of Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty was thousands of square meters, but it only covered the outer hall. If the entire Jade Hall was covered, thousands of iron pipes would be needed. The material cost of bare iron would be very high, not to mention other costs.
Labor, wood, and house renovation all cost money.
But for the bureaucratic family group, tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands of dollars is nothing more than small sums. Which of the top families in the court does not have assets worth billions? The Cao family is just a second-rate family. They spend 100 million to buy a prince without blinking an eye.
.
Moreover, Luoyang is also home to countless wealthy people. Zhuo County tycoons like Zhang Fei, who has assets worth tens of millions of dollars, can't even be ranked in Luoyang. They are at most middle class. You can know the spending power of Luoyang's tycoons.
In this way, through the laying of floor heating, the direct economy can reach hundreds of millions, and the indirect economy can reach billions, making the whole of Luoyang seem to be full of vitality.
The carriage slowly passed through the crowd, and noisy sounds continued to come from around it.
Chen Mu was supposed to kill millions of people with one move and make the world more chaotic, but in the end he saved millions of people with one move. He didn’t know what impact this would have on the future, and he didn’t know if it was right or wrong.
.
But he doesn't regret doing this, because regret is the most meaningless emotion in this world championship.
You’ve done it all, what else is there to regret?
Disaster victims were coming and going around him. Some of them were in ragged clothes, and some were sallow and thin, but everyone had a smile on their face, and they were either carrying rice bags or cloth.
The New Year is here, don’t leave empty-handed.
The Han people are a nation that has always been extremely resilient in the face of adversity. For thousands of years, no matter what experiences they have suffered, they will never give up hope as long as there is still a glimmer of hope.
For generations, they have multiplied and thrived, and no adversity can defeat them. They are like unyielding weeds. No matter how many times they are trampled, when spring comes, they will tenaciously emerge from the soil, looking up at the rising sun in spring, and looking forward to the future.
glorious future.
The new year is coming, have a good year.
……．
……．
As the carriage left Luoyang, no one knew that the person in the carriage was the one who saved them from fire and water.
The distance from Luoyang to Jinan is not very close, more than 500 kilometers, which is about 1,200 miles when converted into Han Dynasty miles, which is not a particularly short distance.
The driving speed of vehicles is about four or five kilometers per hour, which is actually slightly faster than walking. The daily journey takes more than 10 hours, and the daily distance is almost 40 to 50 kilometers. It takes about 11 or 2 days to reach Jinan.
But this is just a theoretical time. After all, the roads in the Han Dynasty were not easy to travel, and the years were uneven. It was easy to encounter delays on the way, so in fact it should be possible to arrive within fifteen days. When we arrived in Jinan, we
It's almost Chinese New Year time.
In fact, this time is not impossible to speed up.
Chen Mu can ride a horse. Puyin is in the Zhongshan Kingdom, which is close to the northern grassland. If you choose to use a war horse to gallop at full speed, it will only take three or four days, but the cost will be relatively high. You will have to change horses midway. If there is no need to be in such a hurry
Next, just walk slowly and honestly.
Liu Bei sent Dian Wei over as a guard. The reason why he decided to go to Jinan to celebrate the New Year this time was because at the end of the year, all states and counties had to send documents to the central government and do some finishing work.
This is an inspection system at the end of the year to see if Liu Bei, the prefect, is doing his job well.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Liu Bei would write letters every time he came, and Chen Mu would also reply. In this way, the exchanges became very frequent.
Chen Mu also gave Liu Bei his route back.
After leaving Sili, pass through Wei County and Yangping County, arrive at Pingyuan County, and continue walking eastward, you will reach Licheng County in Jinan County, which is later Jinan City, where Liu Bei will be waiting for him.
The public security in Wei County and Yangping County has actually been much better. After all, Jizhou has been pacified by Huangfu Song, and what is left is stability and management of people's livelihood.
The counties along the way are in the stage of cultivation, but it is winter after all, and there is heavy snowfall in the north. Every household along the way has very little smoke, and many villages have dilapidated houses and sparsely populated areas.
After a major disaster, people's livelihood has been greatly reduced, and it may take a long time to slowly recover.
On the sixth day, the convoy passed through Wei County and arrived at Yuancheng in Yangping County.
Chen Mu was reading a book in the carriage.
This time I went out and borrowed a lot of books from Hongdu Library to read on the road. I had nothing to do anyway, just to kill time.
The carriage had been modified by him, and while he was able to command Song Dian Bilan, he asked craftsmen to help make a large number of springs and install them on the carriage as shock absorbers.
In fact, there were shock absorbers in ancient times, called "Futu", but they were not as effective as springs. A wooden board was installed on the carriage, a large number of springs were fixed on the wooden board, and then the carriage and the wooden board were connected. It was somewhat similar to a mattress, and the shock absorbing effect was better than that of a spring.
"Futu" is much stronger.
The vehicle was walking and stopped unconsciously.
Chen Mu thought it was time to rest and find a place to eat at meal time, so he opened the car curtain and asked Dian Wei, "Liangbi, have you arrived at the county seat?"
Dian Wei smiled and said: "We're here, Yilang, get out of the car quickly."
Chen Mu looked outside through the car window. It was on a hillside and obviously not a county town.
What is Dian Wei doing?
Chen Mu closed the curtains and had random thoughts in his mind.
This guy can't be Zhang Kai.
No, "Three Kingdoms" records that Dian Wei was loyal and loyal, not a villain like Zhang Kai.
But this place is not a county town, but a wilderness with no villages or shops in front of it.
What on earth did Dian Wei want to do by bringing him here?
The more Chen Mu thought about it, the more unbelievable this move became. He couldn't help but hold the sword given by the emperor tightly around his waist, and tried to keep a calm tone and said: "Liangbi, I'm not hungry yet, you go and eat first."
"Yi Lang, this is not up to you."
Dian Wei opened the car curtain, grinned, and stretched out his big furry hand.
Chen Mu was extremely shocked. Dian Wei, the thick-browed man with big eyes, had really rebelled?
He wanted to draw the sword in his hand, but the car was too narrow and he had placed too many books. For a while, he couldn't stretch out and couldn't draw the sword.
Dian Wei couldn't suppress the excited smile on his face, and grabbed Chen Mu's shoulders with his big hands like iron pliers.
Chen Mu shouted: "Dianwei, what do you want to do? Come, come!"
But Dian Wei was unmoved and hugged him directly out of the car, as if he had caught a little chicken.
A big hand covered his eyes, and Chen Mu was extremely frightened at this moment.
But he knew that he had to be calm and forced himself to say in a calm tone: "Dian Wei, what do you want? I didn't bring any money out, so there is no point in doing this. If you want money, I can help you get it."
"
Dian Wei said nothing, and he could faintly hear the chuckles of the soldiers around him.
Chen Mu only felt that he was being held by Dian Wei on his shoulders, and his eyes were covered with cloth. He didn't know where he would be taken, and he didn't know who would catch him.
He was very scared, his heart was trembling with fear, his teeth were trembling, and at this moment Chen Mu even lost the ability to think.
"Dian Wei! What do you want, and who instigated you!"
Chen Mu's voice became increasingly uncontrollable.
He cared so much about his own life that he should have been more rational, but now he was faintly hysterical.
Dian Wei still didn't speak, as if he was carrying him up the mountain. Chen Mu wanted to struggle, but his strength was too weak. Dian Wei only used one hand to carry him, and he didn't even need to use the other hand.
He was easily subdued.
"Dianwei, please put me down and we can talk about anything."
"Listen to me, can you answer me?"
"You have to think carefully...my brother will not let you go."
Chen Mu was already desperate. Could it be that Dian Wei wanted to throw him off the mountain and destroy his body?
Why, why did you end up here?
He is obviously so careful and cares so much about his own life.
Sure enough, no one around me can be trusted.
The history books cannot be believed because Dian Wei is a traitor and not a loyal minister.
Big brother, second brother and third brother, where are you? I miss you so much and wish you were by my side.
At this moment, Chen Mu missed the sense of security next to the three brothers.
A few minutes later, Dian Wei stood where he was.
Chen Mu became more and more panicked. Was he really going to be thrown down the mountain to his death?
You are still so young and you still have countless things to do in the future.
I really don’t want to die.
At this moment, he was desperate and hoped that someone would save him. While struggling desperately, he shouted: "Brother, save me!"
"Don't be afraid."
A gentle voice sounded beside Chen Mu.
The blindfold was taken off, and Chen Mu saw Liu Bei, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei holding their horses on the top of the hillside, standing on the edge of the cliff, looking at him with a smile.
