Unexpectedly, when they were tested on draft horses later in the week, they found that these horses were not only stronger but also much more durable than ordinary draft horses when used as draft horses.

This aroused Feng Yong's interest: that is to say, the horses in Xiping and Xihai are actually used for both pulling and riding.

It's even better in terms of handling than in terms of riding.

In order to further test this kind of horse, Feng Yong transferred these horses to Dongfeng Express in the form of paying the freight.

"Brother, that Hequ horse is really useful. The Yunnan horse is useful on mountain roads, but on the highway, you still have to rely on such a big horse to pull more and go farther."

Mentioning this matter, Xu Xun couldn't help but get excited.

Nowadays, Dongfeng Express’s logistics network is very mature.

Starting from Yuexun, the highway leads directly to Jincheng.

The road from Jincheng to Hanzhong is the Jinniu Road, which is rugged.

From Jincheng to Hanzhong, and from Hanzhong to Qishanbao, there are mostly mountain roads, so the Yunnan horses have the advantage.

Qishan Fort is now the largest warehouse in Longyou. From there, you can go east to west to Jicheng, Pingxiang and other places. The horses produced by Longyou are more useful than the Yunnan horses.

In addition to the reason that the road conditions are relatively good and the cart can be pulled directly, there is also another reason why Yunnan horses cannot leave Qishan in winter.

Dongfeng Express has built huge warehouses in every key city.

Just like Qishan Fort, the grain transported from Hanzhong to Longyou was first transported to Qishan Fort by Yunnan horses, and then transferred to horse-drawn carriages and ox-carts.

Of course, part of the transportation during this period can be used as a reward for the tribes that perform well in Longyou.

After all, helping Dongfeng Express transport things is a good thing for various barbarian tribes to steal their heads.

Hearing Xu Xun's praise, Feng Yong said "Oh", "So, those horses are really useful?"

"It's really easy to use. If the official road wasn't paved with artificial stones like Shuangnan Avenue and four-wheeled carts could be used, my one trip would be worth the three trips it takes now."

Xu Xun said excitedly.

"Don't think about it. It took more than three years to build this Jinniu Road. We don't know when it will be finished. There is also a shortage of people in the engineering camp. How can anyone build the artificial stone road for you?"

Feng Yong said angrily.

"Brother, I don't know. I've almost finished cultivating the Golden Bull Way."

It's okay that Feng Yongyong mentioned this. As soon as he mentioned this, Xu Xun came over and said, "I came here this time with a letter from Sister-in-law Mu."

As he spoke, he took out a greased paper bag, carefully unfolded the greased paper, and handed the letter inside to Feng Yong.

"I heard from Sister-in-law Mu that half of the engineering team building the Jinniu Road has been transferred back to Hanzhong."

"When I was passing through Nanzheng, I saw that there seemed to be some big work there, and the formation was quite large."

Xu Xun also mentioned what he saw when he was in Nanzheng.

Feng Yong took out the letter and read it over. One of the things mentioned above was related to the Nanxiang Engineering Team.

When Zhuge Laoyao stationed in Hanzhong, he took part of the Nanxiang engineering team to build roads.

This cultivation lasted more than three years.

In the past three years or so, the workers of the engineering team, like the migrant workers of later generations, basically returned to Nanxiang to reunite with their families at the end of the year.

The only exception was when the Battle of Longyou was at its most tense, and construction was forced to stop for three months.

But Feng Yong is not at a loss. In the past few years, the engineering team has grown very quickly.

He soon had a large number of skilled civil engineering workers on hand.

At the same time, the engineering team’s organizational personnel, earthwork calculation personnel, designers, etc., were exercised.

It's simply not that exciting.

The civilian laborers who were temporarily recruited to serve as corvees were compared with the professional engineering team, and their level was immediately revealed.

After the Northern Expedition, Zhuge Lao Yao simply exempted Nanxiang from all kinds of corvee services, and only asked Nanxiang to send out engineering teams to help him with civil engineering projects, such as plank roads, city gates, etc.

The Xiegu plank road that was burned down by Mr. Zhao the year before last was rebuilt with the help of the engineering team.

What Li Muxin mentioned was that after the construction of the Golden Bull Road was completed, the Prime Minister's Office planned to let the engineering team build a palace in Nanzheng.

The time was very tight and it had to be completed within three months.

Seeing this, Feng Yong's eyelids couldn't help but jump several times.

It's not because of time constraints.

With Zhuge Lao Yao's picky temper, how big of a yard can he build?

It is not the kind of cement and steel building of later generations.

With the professionalism of the engineering team and sufficient manpower, as long as Party A can come up with the requirements, Party B's engineering team can build it in two months.

Feng Yong's eyelids were twitching uncontrollably because of the name of the house.

Because something like a palace is not an ordinary courtyard.

Most others call it a palace, and only the emperor's courtyard has the right to be called a palace.

Old Demon Zhuge...it's impossible to build a palace for him to live in, right?

Feng Yong folded the letter, and a thought flashed through his mind: Historically... this has never happened, right?

Xu Xun saw Feng Yong sitting there steadily after reading the letter, deep in thought. He didn't dare to disturb him at the moment, and he didn't dare to go away without authorization, so he could only sit there and accompany him.

I don't know how long it took, but Feng Yong suddenly asked: "The most difficult section from Jincheng to Hanzhong is from Jiange to Yang'an Pass. How is it now?"

The Big and Small Sword Mountains were the first place Zhuge Lao Yao asked the engineering team to build. Passes and pavilion roads have been built there, and now everyone has begun to call it Sword Pavilion.

The road from Jincheng to Jiange is not difficult, and cars can merge onto the tracks.

However, the mountain road from Jiange to Yang'an Pass is so rugged that except for wheelbarrows, even the lightest vehicles cannot pass it.

In the past three years or so, the engineering team has mainly repaired this section.

Feng Yong led the army from Yuexun to Hanzhong. He saw a section of road being repaired and a pavilion road for carriages was built.

It would be much easier if this section of the road were all pavilion roads like this.

"Brother, all the difficult parts of this road are Feiliang Pavilion Road. It is easier to travel than before."

Xu Xun quickly replied.

Feng Yong nodded and asked something that puzzled Xu Xun, "I heard that the Prime Minister moved the imperial camp out of Nanzheng in December last year and placed it on the plains?"

"Exactly."

"That's right."
Chapter completed!
