Chapter 1487
The convoy was faster this time, but the road was not bumpy.

Li Xiang opened the window and looked outside.

Green pines are planted on both sides at intervals of three feet, and the road is extremely wide, about fifty paces wide.The road surface is rammed firmly with iron vertebrae, and it is turtle-shaped above the ground, which is good for drainage.Stretching intervals, spectacular and beautiful.

The driveway is extremely flat, with deep ruts like railroad tracks.The two wheels of the carriage just got stuck in the rut, so just run along the rut.

This is the big project that Li Xiang said he would be busy with now, Chidao!

They are now driving in the middle, which is a special lane for officials and troops.The left and right sides are sidewalks, which can be used by ordinary people.

If you want to get rich, you must first build roads, which will not be easy for future generations.

Now, with the influx of gold and silver in batches from Japan, Li Xiang said that he finally has the confidence to do some big projects!
In the process of Bai Qi's continuous attack on the Japanese country, the gold and silver mines that have been occupied have been working overtime and mining day and night. Up to now, several batches have been continuously shipped.

On the contrary, the people who were transported were mainly Japanese women, and there were not many male laborers.After all, labor is also needed in various places on the Wa country.

For example, take those gold and silver mines, if there is no large amount of labor input, how can Bai Qi maintain such an efficient mining progress and ship back a batch every once in a while!
However, fortunately, the group of people robbed from Yuzhou earlier happened to be used in this place.Those populations were originally going to use them to develop Liangzhou and Xizhou to be established, but since building Chidao requires a lot of labor, Liangzhou and Xizhou can only be temporarily suppressed.

Although these people were forcibly relocated by Li Xiang, they can also be regarded as a different kind of refugees who lost their land and houses.It's just that the original arrangement of distributing land to them and letting them build the Great Northwest has now become a work-for-relief arrangement, giving them a job to build Chidao.

For the ancients, it was good to be able to manage food.What's more, Li Xiang not only ensured that they were full, but also paid them a certain amount of wages.Not to mention these people, even the labor force under Li Xiang's original rule also signed up to participate.

"The Chi Road still needs to be repaired, and it's just the beginning."

Li Xiang stroked his beard proudly. This is a big project, and he is confident that he will finish it in his lifetime.At that point, a complete runway can save a lot of time.

Time flies by, so precious.He could never get enough of this magnificent mountain and river.Of course, there is something more important. In this way, he can better control the county towns and county towns below.

Besides, what if he can't finish it in his lifetime?His generation can't complete it, and there will be a next generation.Li Xiang will not force, use one generation's time to complete the work of two or three generations, countless experiences in history have told him that blindly pursuing progress and making too many strides will cause trouble!
Some actions benefit the future, but they harm the present!At that time, the Qin Emperor Yingzheng, Yang Emperor Yang Guangyi built Chidao, and the Grand Canal was built to benefit future generations. However, for this reason, the Qin, Sui and Sui dynasties spent a hundred years of national fortune, and the powerful Qin and Sui dynasties I can't help being so exhausted, not to mention that Li Xiang's subordinates are not even united with the big men.

Thanks to Wo Guo for making it possible for him to complete this big project!
This is the past few years. After Li Xiang agrees to the Han, he can conquer the Nanman, Grassland, Western Regions, Li Tang and other places, use their population, use their labor, plus the gold and silver of the Japanese country, to come Instead of the labor force of the country to complete this big project!

However, this is destined to be a major project that may take decades.At this stage, Li Xiang is not greedy for progress, nor will he think about reaching the sky in one step.It is enough to build the rough prototype first, and connect the more important places. As for the remaining counties and counties, after he dominates the world, there will be plenty of time to proceed slowly.

At present, he only needs Chi Dao to connect the main points, so that his troops can reach the designated point as quickly as possible.

Li Xiang's territory is not small now, and there are enemies everywhere, every state needs to deploy troops to defend.Therefore, it is very important that the forces between the states can maintain strong mobility and be able to reach the destination in the fastest time.

After all, with roads, business travel will develop, exchanges between places will become frequent, and during times of war, troops from various places can be assembled more quickly.

"Yiwu! Pass down the order to order the local governments to build post stations every fifty miles, and at the same time send soldiers to patrol and wipe out the bandits along the way!" Li Xiang said to Guan Zhong in the carriage.

Today's world, no matter how you put it, is a chaotic world, thieves everywhere in the world are inevitable, no matter which prince's subordinates are the same!Don't say it's a troubled world, even if it's a prosperous world, can there be no bandits and robbers?

Therefore, in the process of inspecting the construction of the channel near Luoyang, Li Xiang added such an order after realizing this problem.

"My lord, don't worry!" Guan Zhong promised with a wry smile.

Build a post station every fifty miles, and send soldiers to patrol at the same time. After Chidao is fully built, this is really a huge investment!
However, although it is a huge investment, the benefits are considerable after all!

Originally, Guan Zhong, Wang Meng, Di Renjie, Fang Xuanling and other ministers basically took the side of Li Xiang's objection to the large-scale construction of Chidao.

It's not that they can't see the benefits of building Chidao, moreover, the benefits of such a huge project are not enough, they can also see the hidden dangers behind it!
The Qin Emperor swept across the six kingdoms, unified the written weights and measures, and built the Great Wall. Aren’t these actions a political move that will benefit future generations for hundreds of years?But in the end, they all ended up dying.Of course, Hu Hai is a trap, is it true that Qin II's death is really just a problem of Hu Hai alone!

Today's Jin army has not yet unified the entire Han Dynasty!Besides, don't other people know that those people don't know how much military expenditure they have to pay every year?

With such a big project being carried out at this time, Guan Zhong and the others were almost scared out of their wits?It is precisely because these people's political attributes are high enough that they can see all kinds of effects!

Fortunately, Li Xiang was not in such a hurry to complete the project as Guan Zhong and the others imagined, but planned to complete this project in decades, or even more than one generation.

Coupled with the gold and silver of the Japanese country, the method of using work as relief, and the idea of ​​plundering foreign labor in the future, Guan Zhong and the others began to let go!
However, if there is a real problem in the operation of this project, I am afraid that Guan Zhong and the others will report to stop it as soon as possible!
