Fei Qian walked a few steps forward and arrived in front of the sand table in Hanzhong.

In Guanzhong and Hanzhong, there are several feasible roads now, including Ziwu, Tangluo, and Baoxie. Chen Cangfei lurked on the sand table and pointed out that Chencang is old, and Tangluo and Baoxie are gradually opening up. Is there a Ziwu Road?

Fei Qian couldn't help but glance at Wei Yan.

Wei Yan thought it was Fei Qian who was asking about the situation on Ziwu Road, so he simply said: Ziwu Road is relatively steep, and if you use elite soldiers to climb up, it will be possible, but if you want to use vehicles, it will be difficult.

Fei Qian nodded, it is indeed the case. Therefore, if the current road is used for business, it is enough, but if you want to use troops, it is not enough. Therefore, when you expand the road, it is just to open the road, and the wealth used is not cheap.

The way to use the army is to maintain peace internally and defend the enemy externally. The land of Sichuan, Sichuan and Hanzhong is important for the rapid development of troops. It is at the strategic point of transportation between the north and the south. It also needs to connect the east and west, trade routes, and military.

Roads, warehouses, and military villages all have their own uses, so they should be planned carefully.

Fei Qian turned his head and looked at Xu Huang and Wei Yan. Now that Hanzhong, Sichuan and Shu have been initially settled, the Qiang people, the Ba people, and the Di people have all suffered heavy setbacks. They are unable to repeat themselves. This is an excellent opportunity.

War is only one of the means used to break some rules and is used when friendly consultations cannot be reached. It is not the whole range of means.

Now, from Guanzhong to Longyou, from Hanzhong to Sichuan and Shu, as well as the descendants of the gentry, basically all are attracted by the Qinglong Temple's lectures. In other words, whether they are from local powerful people or barbarians in the mountains and forests, from gentry descendants to lower Liba people

, are not likely to jump out and mess with Fei Qian for the time being, isn't it the best period of time?

If you want to be rich, build roads first.

This phrase, which is almost familiar to later generations, is more than just a slogan. Without the title of Big Infrastructure Madman, China's resistance in the face of natural and man-made disasters would have been weakened by at least three points!

Gongming Feiqian continued to ask, what do you think about the way Tongguan uses the plateau as a boundary and divides the upper and lower internal and external transportation?

Xu Huang nodded and said: It is indeed a good method.

It is well known that Tongguan has a dangerous terrain. On such a dangerous terrain, whether it is walking the five-mile long slope or climbing to the Linzhi Plateau, it is a very difficult task. If the carriages, horses, people, and all kinds of goods are

It was a single transport queue. It was delayed for a while at Wuli Changban, and then got stuck on the one-way road on the mountain road in Linzhiyuan. It was a disaster.

Basically, it's like it was originally a four-lane road and then turned into a one-way road at Tongguan. You can imagine how the traffic will get stuck here. If instead of using the method of internal and external transfer and using machinery to lift goods, instead

If we continue to use the old method, the speed and frequency of transportation will be seriously hindered.

Once the bottleneck is solved, circulation can naturally be accelerated.

The way of thinking determines the direction of technological improvement, and technological improvement provides more benefits.

Fei Qian pointed at the edge of the sand table. The high bulge represents the mountain path. Can the Tongguan method be used in Ziwu, Tangluo, Baoxie, Chencang and other paths? Where can it be used? Where is the best place?

The two generals discussed with each other and made a decision. Later, it became clear that they could conduct an on-the-spot inspection and report it to someone, who would send craftsmen to repair it. This would save the trouble of traveling and make it accessible to the east, west, north, and south.

Wei Yan and Xu Huang looked at each other, and then each thought for a while.

Regarding the current transportation in the Han Dynasty, there are indeed problems in some places. One is that the commercial roads are basically diffuse roads, which are difficult to build into a network. The other problem is that there are few or even no transfer points.

It can be done from beginning to end.

Because merchants basically collect raw materials from the countryside and then return to sell finished products, if Fei Qian makes a sand table like this, it is easy to see that towns and other trade centers radiate to the surrounding areas.

This makes the main passages stuck along the limits of the towns. Some are clearly separated by only a mountain, but they have to go around in a big circle.

Because there is no benefit to businessmen in opening roads into the mountains, there is naturally no motivation to build roads. For the military, the value system is completely different.

And where does this visual perspective, which is completely different from the commercial system, come from?

Of course, it is impossible for Fei Qian to sit in the Guanzhong Huqi Mansion Office and pat his head to build a road here and dig a trench there.

As Wei Yan, he had stayed in Sichuan, Shu and Han, and had fought in battles. He was very clear about which roads were important and what key points and difficulties there were. Based on his opinions, he would make some main frameworks for improving the roads, and of course he would be able to compare them.

Be realistic. At the same time, Xu Huang, who has watched the development of commerce step by step in Guanzhong and personally went to Tongguan to supervise the construction of the new city, has made full use of technology to solve some of the height differences and difficulties in water and land transportation. He will also use his own experience

He improved Wei Yan's framework with his ideas, and finally built a path that was in line with the current productivity of the Han Dynasty and could promote local and central economic development.

If the goods in peripheral areas such as Jiaozhi and snow areas are transported back and forth, according to the current means of transportation in the Han Dynasty, it may not be possible to travel back and forth once a year. But what if the transportation is divided into stages?
