In the past few days, a group of special travelers have appeared in Shang State. They are wearing unique clothes and walking around with special temporary certificates.
Their temporary certificate is very special - it has 90% of the citizenship rights of Shangguo. This is a certificate that has never been issued by Shangguo. In the past, it was either a temporary certificate or a formal citizenship certificate; this temporary certificate with 90% citizenship rights is really very special.
Basically, they have all the rights and interests of Shang citizens, but some "key" rights are missing, such as not being able to enter the library casually, and the right to purchase some precious items is restricted - in short, they can feel all the benefits of Shang citizens, but the key points are decisively cut off.
Liu Jie has been walking on the land of Shang Kingdom with his three little followers (Han Chang, Li Ji, and Zi Ling'er). This has been the third day.
During these three days, Liu Jie saw a different world. He never thought that there could be such a country in the world.
There are no nobles or emperors here, but there are elections here; in addition, there are industry and commerce, scientific research, capitalism, the rule of law, and compulsory education for all...
At first, when Liu Jie heard that Li Xian did not meet him and others and let him and others play for a month, Liu Jie was a little dissatisfied and felt that this Xian Wang seemed a little arrogant. However, after two days, Liu Jie changed his mind and felt that Xian Wang was a far-sighted person.
The more they met, the more Liu Jie admired Li Xian. He couldn't help but want to pull Li Xian over for a candlelight chat - how did this wise king build such a country
After spending three days in Beidou City, Liu Jie decided to leave Beidou City and go somewhere else.
Where to go? Liu Jie opened a map, a colorful map with clear markings. In Liu Jie's opinion, such a map should be kept as a military secret, but in Shangguo, there are maps everywhere.
Liu Jie's eyes wandered along the route on the map, thinking about the "news" in Shang State. Suddenly, Liu Jie had a goal - the Wuyue Cross-sea Bridge Project.
This is a huge project recently announced by the Shang State. It is called the Wuyue Cross-sea Bridge, but in fact it is a major artery connecting Anyang to the ancient capital of Yue State. This major artery stretches 40,000 kilometers, starting from Anyang and heading south along the coast, crossing thousands of large and small rivers, tens of thousands of small ditches and gullies along the way.
The main artery starts from Anyang and goes south, passing Beidou City, passing through the former territory of Jin State, Liu State, Bian State, Sima Empire, and then passes through other small countries and finally connects to the former territory of Wu State, including Qingcheng, and then goes all the way to the former capital of Yue State, Kuaiji.
Compared with the Shang-Zhao artery, this artery is more complex and the project is more extensive. Especially the southernmost section of the project, which is built in the former land of Wu and Yue, is almost entirely made of viaducts.
There was no other way. The former territory of Wu and Yue was crisscrossed with rivers and even scattered islands, so the only option was to build viaducts.
In addition, this major artery passes through many large rivers, which are also suitable for ships to pass through, which requires the construction of the viaduct to be very high.
In addition, these major arteries are actually divided into two layers, the upper layer is the highway and the lower layer is the railway.
