Prosperous Tang Blood Blade

Chapter 345 Resolving Worry and Confused Yuan Tiangang

Chapter 47 Solve worries and doubts Yuan Tiangang
Li Daozhen looked at her hanging girl in the bronze mirror, Fen Xiaoji (the hair style of a virgin in the Tang Dynasty), and sighed long. She messed up her hair and combed it into a Lingyun bun.

Xiaotao looked at Li Daozhen's hairstyle, pouted her lips and said, "My lady, this is a woman..."

Before Xiaotao could finish speaking, Li Daozhen raised her eyebrows and said in displeasure, "I want you to talk more!"

Xiaotao backed away embarrassingly.

Although Li Daozhen's makeup was impeccable and beautiful beyond words, Li Daozhen did not give the order to stop, and the two maids with braids did not dare to stop.In the room, more than a dozen large boxes had been locked, and the whole room seemed extremely empty.Several servants carefully carried the locked box back and forth and walked out.

Li Daozhen looked outside the house from time to time.Suddenly, Xiaotao saw that the two men were carrying a sandalwood box tilted, and hurriedly yelled: "Be careful, this is a lady's favorite vase, it broke your legs..."

With the sound of light footsteps, Li Daozhen quickly adjusted his mentality and sat upright.Li Daozhen's gaze instantly fell on the knife in Li Daoxing's hand.

Li Daozhen asked knowingly: "This is..."

"Sister, don't you know?" Li Daoxing handed the horizontal knife to Li Daozhen.There is nothing unusual about Chen Ying's horizontal saber, it's just that the sabers above the level of General Zhongwu are slightly different from the Tang Dynasty's standard horizontal sabers. Hengdao belonged to Bailian, of course, Bailian and Qishigang could not be distinguished in appearance.In order to reflect the difference between the two, this Zhongwu General's saber has a scabbard decorated with Jiaowen, and the handle is gilded, just a little bit.

Li Daozhen took the horizontal knife and slowly pulled out the scabbard, and looked at it carefully.After watching for a long time, Li Daozhen was stunned for a moment, put the knife back into its sheath, and stretched out his hand in front of Li Daoxing: "Bring it!"

"what?"

"letter!"

"What letter!"

Li Daozhen didn't talk nonsense, and raised the horizontal knife to hit Li Daoxing's head. Although the horizontal knife was not out of its sheath, if the knife hit the ground, Li Daoxing would definitely not be able to get out of bed for half a month.

"Don't!" Li Daoxing quickly took out the letter written by Chen Ying from his arms.

Li Daozhen opened the envelope, and there were only 28 words on it: "I once thought that being too sentimental would damage the holy life, and I was afraid that I would not fall into the city if I went to the mountains. The world is safe with both laws, and I will not fail the Tathagata and not fail the Qing."

Originally, Li Daoxing really didn't understand what this meant, but at this moment he murmured: "Not to the Tathagata and not to the Qing...Hey, this bastard thinks beautifully..."

Li Daozhen showed murderous eyes, Li Daoxing felt the chill behind him, and quickly changed his words: "Sister, can you not go? Eldest brother has gone to Lingzhou, and you should go too. It doesn't make much sense for me to stay here in Chang'an."

Li Daozhen's tears flowed down.

Li Daoxing said: "Aren't you worried... those gossips? Who dares to talk too much, I tore his mouth."

Li Daozhen handed the letter to Xiaotao: "Lock it up!"

"Lock it up?" Xiaotao became confused, and murmured, "Isn't that just a few words?"

"This is gold!" Li Daozhen picked up Chen Ying's horizontal knife and raised it forward: "Let's go to Lingzhou."

……

Entering the early winter, the first snow in Chang'an City has not fallen for a long time.Although the weather was getting colder, the Chidao project couldn't be dragged on, so Chen Ying had no choice but to bite the bullet and take up the post.

The court of the Tang Dynasty was very efficient at this time. Following the issuance of Li Yuan's edict, civilian husbands recruited from the Jingzhao area began to arrive one after another.

The drawings from the Ministry of Industry Surveying and Mapping were also placed in front of Chen Ying.Chen Ying had no choice but to separate the folk husbands according to the skilled folk husbands and ordinary folk husbands, and then organized the ordinary folk husbands into several teams based on the clan as the unit of the village, township, and city.Firstly, digging canals and filling soil on the side of the official road to level the road surface, while the craftsmen began to build the track according to the prescribed standard size.

At this time, a huge construction site was formed on the official road more than [-] miles from Chang'an to Huazhou.As many as [-] to [-] civilians are working in full swing at the same time.

Although Chen Ying presided over the construction of Chidao, in fact he didn't have to do it himself at all. Under him, there was a doctor from the Ministry of Industry, a doctor from the Ministry of Water, four staff members from the department, and [-] other officials to assist, including six principals. Eleven assistant officials should be assigned to share a share of the affairs.

The doctor from the Ministry of Industry is responsible for the quality control of the road, the doctor from the Ministry of Water is responsible for digging ditches, filling soil and leveling the road surface, and the other four Yuanwailang and six chiefs are responsible for section control.

At the same time, Chen Ying also had dozens of junior officials led by Xu Jingzong, former disciples of the Hou Mo Chen family, who existed exclusively as inspectors and followed up the quality throughout the process.

Although Li Yuan only needed Chen Ying to put on a show to confuse Wang Shichong and Li Gui, but Chen Ying didn't want to deal with obstacles like this, but he really wanted to cultivate such a path.For a long time, Chen Ying only noticed the strategic position of Guanzhong, but forgot another benefit brought by the strategic position of Guanzhong.

Guanzhong extends in all directions, because there are four defenses, it is easy to defend and difficult to attack. In times of war, people fleeing from Hedong, Hexi, Luoyang, and Shandong often choose Guanzhong as the first choice. This is a place where talents gather.

However, since the demise of the Tang Dynasty, Guanzhong lost its foundation as the capital of the country, and Xi'an was not even ranked in the forefront of the second-tier cities in later generations.

The reason, to put it bluntly, is that Guanzhong has been over-developed and destroyed the ecological balance.With the passage of time, the population of Guanzhong is increasing, and the land in Guanzhong is not enough to feed the population of more than [-] million people in Guanzhong. resources are wasted on road transport.

If Chen Yingcheng builds the Chi Road, he can take advantage of Chang'an's geographical advantages and make Chang'an a commodity distribution center. As the starting point of the Silk Road, Chang'an's supplies have not been able to support Hexi, which makes the food prices and living costs in Guanzhong inflated.Once the road is completed, such a Chang'an can last for a long time.

However, there is another very serious problem before Chen Ying. If the rails of the road are all made of wood, I am afraid that the trees in the pass will not be enough. The key is that the wear and tear of the wood is really amazing. .

However, it seems impossible to use steel rails in this day and age.The key is that the steel output of the Tang Dynasty was too low at this time.After much deliberation, Chen Yingsi decided to restart Lingzhou's blast furnace steelmaking plan.

However, at this time, he was no longer the governor of Lingzhou.He can't control Lingzhou's affairs.Suddenly, an idea flashed in Chen Ying's head, and he decided to go to the East Palace to ask Li Jiancheng to find a solution.

When Chen Ying came to the East Palace, at the gate of the East Palace, he bumped into Li Jiancheng who was about to go out.Just as Li Jiancheng raised his leg and was about to get into the carriage, Li Jiancheng saw Chen Ying.

Li Jiancheng waved his hand at Chen Ying and said, "Chen Lang, it just so happens that I'm taking you to meet a great sage."

Chen Ying smiled slightly and said, "Where is a great sage worthy of His Highness the Crown Prince's condescension?"

Li Jiancheng whispered: "Yuan Tiangang!"

At the beginning of Yuan Tiangang's official career at the end of the Sui Dynasty, he was a salt official, and when he was free from government affairs, he used physiognomy as an elegant talk.He once made friends with Du Yan, Wang Wei, and Wei Ting, and showed them one by one.He said that Du Yan "Lantai and Xuetang are complete and erudite, and will be displayed in articles" (Lantai, also known as Jinkui, a "Xianku", refers to the left nasal cell. That is, the wing of the nose, Xuetang, refers to the front of the ear door location, the main ingenuity), said that Wang Si "the decree is made, the heaven and the earth are close, and the five ranks of the official will not be ten years" (the decree, the vertical lines from both sides of the nose to the mouth), and Wei Ting "the face is like a tiger. You should use military force to deal with officials ".All three of them seemed to be high-ranking officials, but Tiangang warned: "But the three monarchs will all be condemned for a long time, and I will see it."

Later, Du Yan became a bachelor, Wang Lian became the prince Zhongyun, and Wei Ting became the left guard.This Yuan Tiangang's prophecy has all been fulfilled.

Occasionally, when Wei Ting said that Yuan Tiangang had the skill of making faces, Li Jiancheng was greatly impressed and wanted to go to Yuan Tiangang to solve his worries.

Li Jiancheng's kindness could not be rejected, so Chen Ying had no choice but to follow Li Jiancheng into his carriage.
