As farewell to Yizhou and the people nearby, Wang and Wang raised their banners and started to follow the winding road towards the capital. From here to the capital, the distance of nearly two thousand miles is enough to catch up to a certain period of time.
It’s relatively fast to walk twenty or thirty miles a day. When the road is difficult, you can’t move a step for a long time. In addition, this year’s large-scale snowfall has caused light snowfall even in Yizhou and Chengdu. Don’t Not to mention the place.
Five days later, Zhang Zhong found his son and daughter-in-law while watching the team carefully guarding the animals while they were rubbing on the road. The road to the capital really needs to be repaired."
Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan glanced at each other stubbornly, and their expressions changed. From Zhang Zhong’s mouth, Birang Zhang Xiaobao used 50,000 to fight the economic war against each other’s 400,000, and Birang Wang Juan led a thousand. Both people are frightened in terms of contending with the Tubo army.
Zhang Xiaobao doubled his mouth, and asked with concern: "Father, are you tired? Why don't you let someone carry you away, and you will be able to get a little faster when you pass the corner in front of you."
"I’m not tired. It’s okay if I’m tired. There are so many people helping each other, walking and resting, but the people are tired. Don’t we have dynamite or cement? Just use dynamite to explode the mountain and use cement to reinforce it. The state has been repaired, and it is still being repaired there, and it happens to be connected."
Zhang Zhong frowned, and said with the people in his heart. Zhang Xiaobao estimated the price and repaired it from Yizhou to Chengdu City, and then repaired several major roads around it together. Only the cost would cost six hundred thousand. How far is that? Unless it's a blind deal, it's cheaper to use the road that was scrapped in the last two years.
Obviously, my father didn't mean to build a road that is only for political achievements and does not really consider the people's livelihood. How much does it cost? Change the properties of Zhang Wang's family to money, and let Li Xun make some money. It is estimated that one-third of it can be repaired. It shouldn't be too wide. When encountering mountains, detour.
It has to be maintained. When it is cold and hot, there is no such kind of foundation technology. The sand and soil are easily damaged. If there is a bit of water, how much money do you need to invest in it every year
Zhang Xiaobao thinks this task is too difficult, it is difficult to go to the blue sky, the sky is so good, you can go up in a big hot air balloon, so just a little more money
Seeing that his son was silent, Zhang Zhong suggested: "Or build a canal, you two have to think of a way."
"Father, it's better to build the road. We have to wait until we occupy two more islands overseas. By then, there should be enough money in the family. How can we get other businessmen in? Everyone should work hard together. It's repaired, and it can be maintained by merchants who are struggling to break the circuit."
Zhang Xiaobao first drew a pie for his father, agreed and said later.
Zhang Zhong thought that it would be easy to build a road with a son and a daughter-in-law, but when his son agreed, he nodded with a smile, and looked elsewhere.
Wang Juan touched Zhang Xiaobao "Are you really planning to build a road from Xi'an to Chengdu?"
"It depends on whether the benefits that can be obtained from this road are enough, if the benefits are enough, repair, and if the benefits are not enough, then delay." Zhang Xiaobao did not deny or confirm.
"What benefits can this road have? Just to make the transportation between the two places convenient?" Wang Juan felt that it was worthless. At least it can't be repaired now. What is paid is not proportional to the gain. It is only for the convenience of a small group of people. It is better to invest money in it. elsewhere.
If it's because of the military, it's pretty much the same, but it's not my own business, Li Longji's business.
Zhang Xiaobao looked around and saw that the three of them were not nearby, and he whispered to Wang Juan, "This road does not have much benefit, but the Silk Road and the Tea Horse Road have it. When the domestic demand gradually increases, When the contradiction is more concentrated, it won't work if you don't want to expand abroad.
When the time comes, you will lead the soldiers out and beat all of them down there. Why don't I believe in Datang, oh my name is Daqin, I can't beat Da Shi? Invasion, annexation, and plunder are the essence of animal existence. If someone accuses us, we say that it promotes integration. "
"No one talks about us. People nowadays are not like we were boring to say this or that. Raising a pig in a cage should also be opposed. You mean you are not going to invest money to build roads right away?" Wang Juan thinks that people in this era are really wonderful.
"Without repairs, I will first make the prosperous places more prosperous, and then drive the surrounding areas to become more prosperous. Chengdu is actually pretty good here, but the surrounding places are poor. This will make many people in remote places maintain a certain level. Time has insufficient material access, but on the whole, it is more cost-effective than investing money directly in remote places."
Zhang Xiaobao already has a plan in his mind. From an individual point of view, everyone in every place needs to be taken care of. From a general perspective, even if a remote place is lost, it can still be supported by the material of the prosperous place. When the more prosperous money in the prosperous places is invested in remote places, the efficiency of the use of that money will be greatly reduced before the prosperous places continue to develop to a certain extent.
A very unfair practice, but I have to do it this way.
Wang Juan didn’t know what Zhang Xiaobao was thinking. She considered what she had been fighting and said, “It’s not easy to fight. It’s mainly because of religion and ethnic habits. Another is the adaptability of the army. The sky over there is very blue. , Because the air pressure is not enough, if you send soldiers from the south, it is estimated that more than half of them will not be able to persist.
The soldiers sent to Jiannan Road should be stronger. I mean people living in the Jiannan Plateau. Then you must keep up with your follow-up operations. I can’t have my forefoot occupied and there is nothing to respond, including supplies. In terms of culture, I really fight down, I don't need to come back, I'll be there to fight against the rebellion. "
"Naturally, it's not in a hurry now. Why have to wait for a long time. There is land. The main reason is that we go back to rest and give me enough time to carry out the big economic layout. If there is a corresponding team, then Okay, the inner courtyard is not good enough. I am going to revise the rules of Monopoly's top game again.
Find out the eight generations of ancestors who are eligible to join the study and research. Such talents must not be drained. Let’s go. The past half of the team is now ahead. Let’s take a closer look at the local environment and make small investments. Arrange first. "
Zhang Xiaobao talked about his vision for the future and set his sights before him. He wanted to give some people a chance to live in a bad place, and invest some money to let the locals try their own development. If they can’t develop it, in summary, it’s easy to do it on their own. Adjust and plan in a targeted manner.
Zhang Zhong strolled for a while, found the old man Bi and the three of them, and talked to the three of them about the idea of building a road, which meant that the court would also help.
The three of Old Man Bi were taken aback. The goal was too big. Although the emperor's imperial decree said so, it was fake, and everyone knew it was fake.
Seeing Zhang Zhong's determined look, the three had no choice but to ask Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan.
"Yes, it is to build a road. Wait twenty years. If the money is enough, then repair it, or else repair it here. If you save enough money, repair a section. After repairing a few sections, the previous repairs will have to be rebuilt."
Zhang Xiaobao gave a long time, but he didn't want people to stare at the road.
The three old men heard that it would take twenty years, so there is still a wait, maybe he can't wait, shook his head regretfully, and went busy again.
The team continued to move forward, and the worrying thing finally happened. A heavy snow fell gently, slowly, without strong wind, and even gave a feeling of falling vertically.
At noon, it was dark and the same as the evening, and it was hard to see from a little farther away.
"It's over, it's finally down. How many years does it happen?" Zhang Xiaobao raised his head to look at the sky, and reached out to take two pieces of snow. He couldn't see that it was six petals anymore, it was like a small pile of cotton in the palm of his hand. It melts quietly.
"Don’t just say that you don’t meet once in a few years. Who cares about how many years you are, think of a way. The strong don’t give themselves such excuses to push responsibility. Even if it’s not once in 10,000 years, it’s just that you can solve the difficulties. Success, failure to solve is failure. Depending on the snow situation, it will be warm today and tomorrow. If you continue to go down, it will be warmer for two days without worrying about muddy.
But the longer the driving time, the worse the road conditions will be. When the time comes, whether it is warm or cold, it will be difficult to hurry. I don't want to analyze the difficulties, I want the final result. "
Wang Juan pushed the trouble to Zhang Xiaobao’s body. Zhang Xiaobao blinked a few times. "Why is it my business? Don’t be afraid, it’s nothing to snow. Our team is powerful, well-organized and disciplined. We exercise well and have good nutrition. Keep up, even skating through the mud.
My solution is to unite, help each other, and rush. "
"That can be the case too, I'll issue a mobilization order." Wang Juan approved Zhang Xiaobao's plan, but could only stand firm, relying on the overall quality of the team, regardless of his heavy snowfall.
At this time, the road is wide enough, but it’s a low-lying area. Usually a little precipitation will flow early. This place is soaked and bumpy. When it’s not snowing, you can hide when you walk. The snow will last for a long time. The place is blocked and it is difficult to judge.
Fortunately, the snow is so heavy that it doesn't melt away immediately, so it's not too muddy for the time being.
Wang Juan's mobilization order was just one sentence, "rush over, push your shoulders and rush over."
The members of Wang Wang's family did not hesitate at all, and quickly assigned a position, and the animals that helped pull the cart started moving in the direction ahead with difficulty.
After an hour and a half, there was no difference between dark and night. I lighted a torch prepared in advance, and the people in the inner courtyard took off their coats, put a pad under the wheel, and the team continued to move forward.
There are also people who occasionally pass by on the road. They are all shocked by the scene in front of them. With such a large team and the road so difficult to walk, there is not the slightest mess, except for the ups and downs of shouting and the sound of stepping on the snow. There is no other movement, the speed of marching is so fast, even the fighting army can't reach this level, right
After waiting for a gust of wind to blow away the drooping flag, the people who saw the pattern on it finally knew what team it was, the Yizhou Logistics Camp, no wonder it was so capable.
That's right, in addition to the Yizhou Logistics Camp, I don't believe that other teams can do it to this extent. It really is not a vain name.
Everyone who knew which team looked at the team changed their gazes, making Old Man Bi and all three of them feel proud. The three of them had to admit that the members of King Zhang’s family were really strong, snow-free and digging. , The clothes pad, and the match, can only be described in two words, tacit understanding.
"This is the team spirit mentioned by Xiaobao and Juanjuan. It has its own cultural connotations. If you want to defeat such a team, you can only impact their culture first."
Old Man Bi said while looking at the two cooks who were in charge of boiling soup for the people in front of him while pushing the car.
Old man Yao and Old man Zhang also nodded in agreement. They usually live together. There is not much difference between the servants of Old Man Yao and Old Man Bi and those of Wang Wang's family. Now they have encountered an emergency. The comparison shows that the subordinates in the two old men's homes have worked very hard, but they can't cooperate with them.
Needless to say, Li Xun's team is a real army. Li Xun also asked for a training plan from Wang Juan. He always trains and his actions are not bad.
Old man Yao looked at it for a while and said, "After a while, I have to let the people in my family practice well, the gap is too big."
The snow was still falling, and the team was still advancing. The people around who had been watching for a while suddenly dispersed. They didn't know where they went, anyway, the people disappeared in a blink of an eye.
When it was really night, when the team stopped to rest and eat, a lot of people appeared from both sides of the road. They wanted to let the seedling guards find out. After stopping and asking, they turned out to be local people with dry hands. The useful tools gathered here, said hello, and ran to the front of the team to give the road.
The people in the team were stunned, wondering why the people were so kind.
Zhang Zhong personally went to the person who came to the leader to ask, this is an old village, the whole village has a surname, the surname Hao, who came to build the road.
Old man Hao was simple, and said to Zhang Zhong: "We have heard about you here. The old grains are exchanged for new grains and you have benefited. There are still 22 animals that you exchanged for you did not collect. You will go when the snow stops. If you get it back, it will be convenient to cultivate the land next year.
When the army passed by, your logistics battalion was on the road from Yizhou to Pengzhou. You didn't let any of the fighting soldiers freeze to the point of starvation, and didn't let them suffer any delay on the road, and helped us defeat Tubo.
Today, when you go home, we also want to follow your example and level the road for you. When you are on the road tomorrow morning, the road ahead is twenty miles ahead. "
Hearing the old man's words, Zhang Zhong's eyes blushed, pursed his lips and nodded, without saying any more, turning back, repeating the old man's words to Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan, then bowed his head and ate dinner boredly.
At this time, on the road ahead, someone ran over with a torch and yelled "Hao Cunzheng, my village is also moving. Twenty li, I have marked the place, and will continue to work. Tomorrow morning, I will definitely be able to After repairing, more people are rushing forward, and some people have already ran to tell the village ahead.
When the time comes, let the people in our logistics camp take a smooth road, and I will say, don't worry, let's go, there is still a shortage of manpower there, I have to run back. "
After the man shouted, he turned around and ran back, as he did when he came.
Zhang Xiaobao stood up, turned to the busy figures in front, and said to the maid beside him: "Bring the money box."
The maid turned around and went back to find Zhang Wang, and then came over and handed it to Zhang Xiaobao.
Zhang Xiaobao opened the money box and took out a thousand coins of flying money, and said: "When the snow is heavy, the local people will have a hard time. It is estimated that the snow will not stop for a while. People will come to repair the road. The house is in danger, and the animals are also easy to freeze to death. In addition, their tools are already old and are going to be damaged a lot. It will not be easy to work tomorrow in spring ploughing."
Having said this, Zhang Xiaobao gave the flying money in his hand to his father, and said: "Father, you can send it. One village has 500 guan, one for two villages, let them go to Yizhou to buy tools and More animals.
They can’t finish spending the remaining money. Let them stop the work they need to do and compensate them, so that they can use the free time to saw wood, plane stones, build a good animal fence, and raise more animals. Pave the road too. "
Zhang Zhong also felt that the money should be spent, so he went to Old Man Hao when he took it.
At this moment, Li Xun next to him asked puzzledly: "Since they can build the road for us today, why didn't they do it before?"
"How do you know that people haven't repaired it? The terrain here is low, and the dirt road will be broken as soon as it is repaired. How much time does it take to build a stone road? If you have that time to do some work and make money to subsidize your family, you can live on. They only lack one. Opportunity, or a start-up capital, with this money, as long as they are not too stupid, their lives will gradually get better."
Zhang Xiaobao understands the inner things of such a poor village very well. As long as others help, they can make changes. But in many cases, because the pay is not proportional to the income, or the return of funds takes too long, they will be surprised that there is no one. Willing to spend money.
If the villagers hadn't come to help their team build roads, they wouldn't have used money to help. After all, they had already given part of the livestock they exchanged, and the exchange of old grains for new grains also benefited the locals.
Li Xun's eyes lit up when he heard Zhang Xiaobao's words, and he said, "After waiting for these two villages, I will pay for the next two villages. As long as I help build the road, I will give you five hundred sticks for one village. How many villages can you meet on the road?"
"I didn’t see it. There should be on the military map. I think there are quite a few. If they help to build roads until they reach the capital, I don’t think our money is enough. The village is not only on the roadside, but also in depth. For example, Hao Family village, they are on the south side of the road, are there villages further south, and are there any villages on the north side
Now they are building roads from the bottom of their hearts, and they don’t expect us to give them anything in return. After giving money all the way, many people may come from farther places for money. No, I have to say to my father, let The old village is keeping the secret first, and waits ten days after we leave before using the money. "
Zhang Xiaobao explained a few more words to Li Xun, and suddenly reacted and hurried to find his father.
Li Xun thought for a while, and then said to Wang Juan, "Is it true that the intention is good, although the good is not rewarded, the unintentional is evil, and the evil is not punished?"
"No, absolutely not. Xiaobao is worried that the money given may not be able to achieve good results. First, the economic conditions of the villages who are willing to build roads for us are changed. It is a pilot. If it succeeds, it will be promoted later, if it fails. It has to be analyzed in detail."
Wang Juan started to worry about money when he thought of this development model. If he only used his own money to do this, he would not even have enough money for the pilot project.
When Zhang Zhong gave the money to Hao Cunzheng, Hao Cunzheng said nothing. They came to work voluntarily, not for money, and said to Zhang Zhong:
"You are a good official. Everyone knows that your family led the soldiers out in Yizhou. You made a lot of money because of economic warfare. But your family didn’t leave any money. It was all used by us. In this way, the surrounding people used their own money to open business.
If you can't help yourself, we can't build roads just for your own benefit. "
When Zhang Xiaobao came, the two were still persuading each other. In the end, Zhang Xiaobao said that they should use this as a place to try and see if they can lead more villages to live a good life. When the village becomes richer, the family of King Zhang If you come to collect livestock, or to collect grain, the village can give it to King Zhang's family first for the same price.
This time Hao Cunzheng collected the money and promised to distribute half of the money to the nearby villages in ten days. He also said that there will be more livestock and poultry in the future. He will plant and cut while cutting, and the sawed wood will be too much, as long as King Zhang People from two families come to collect it, even if it's cheaper, they won't sell it to others.
With the support of money, Old Man Hao immediately had other thoughts, greeted people to come, let the people in the village look at the time, if there is enough time, make the road wider, the specific reason is not explained now, so as not to leak the money. Things.
Old man Hao thought clearly that since he had the money to help, he would take advantage of the opportunity to repair the road at a stretch, saving him the trouble of doing it a second time.
Early the next morning, when the team was on the road, there was still snow on the road. It fell at night and the sky was still not clear. The women left in the village came over with their children or old people. More than a dozen houses were crushed. Now, come here and wait for my own labor to go back and fix it.
The chefs of Zhang Wang's family made more meals for some people, and left in a hurry after serving the people in the village. The road was really different when it was repaired. The snow-sweepers opened the way in front and no longer had to rely on manpower to fill the hole.
The speed also got up quickly, and it took only an hour to rush to the road repaired in another village. It was also covered with snow, and the road was also the same level. Say hello and move on.
Another hour passed, and a team of road repairs appeared again. At this time, the road was still not repaired. The news came late, and the people were working hard.
"This is the power of the human heart. Just because it's your Zhang family logistics camp who came here, it made a difficult road unblocked. This banner of your Zhang family is easy to use."
Old Man Bi followed Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan and said to Zhang Xiaobao.
"Withdrawal, withdraw immediately, my family does not want to reach the level of winning the hearts of the people in the world." Zhang Xiaobao pouted his mouth and replied.
"Don't, don't withdraw. The logistics battalion is also set by the court, not by your own family. Just let other people see what the court will say, build a place, and lead the troops to victory."
Old Man Bi blocked.
