Chapter 1630

The geography of the Divine Province has always followed the Yellow River. In the early days, the estuary of the Yellow River was in the north of the Shandong Peninsula. In the current period, due to the capture of the Huaihe River by the Yellow River in the Song Dynasty, the downstream route was diverted and merged with the Huaihe River, and the estuary was directly changed to the south of the Shandong Peninsula.

Longjia Grand Dao goes south from Liaoyang and passes through Shandong to this area. It goes along the canal. It exists as another major artery connecting north and south in the eastern part of Divine Province beyond the canal.

Zongyi Grand Dao also passes through the capital, but the starting point at the northern end is Guangwufu, the seat of the Eastern Province of Monan Grassland. Guangwufu was originally Guangwu Town, an important town in the northern part of the former Tatar Horqin Duoyan Department, and now it is the administrative office of the Eastern Province.

From Guangwu, go straight south through the eastern grasslands, pass the Great Wall pass, enter Miyun, meet with the Grand Dao of Zongjia here at the capital, then go southwest, pass Baoding and go south along Taihang Road and enter Henan Yizhou , at the intersection of Yangwu and Hengyi Grand Dao. Then, like Hengyi Grand Dao, it continues to extend from Kaifeng on the other side of the Yellow River. Hengyi goes westward to Luoyang and Guanzhong, and Zongyi continues south, passing through Nanyang, and entering Hanyang, which is close to the Yangtze River in Huguang, as the middle one and third way. Later, Jiangxia on the opposite bank of Hanyang meets with Grand Dao in Hengbing, looking south through the lake and Guangdong, entering the western part of Jiangxi, and finally reaching Panyu in Guangdong.

The last main road in the vertical direction and its starting point at the northern end is Juyanfu, the government seat of the Central Plains. Juyan House got its name from Juyan Sea, and it was called Yiji Nai during the Tatar period. Hengjia Grand Dao Donglai also passed by and intersected with it.

Zong Bing Grand Dao starts from Juyanfu, goes south out of the grassland, runs through mountains and Shaanxi, crosses the Yellow River to Chang'an where it meets Hengyi Grand Dao, then passes through Hanzhong into Sichuan, travels through Yungui, and finally reaches Yunnan Lin'an Prefecture was built with water and stopped.

Three verticals, three horizontals and six Grand Dao run through east and west, connect north and south, and intersect with each other, forming the backbone of the Great Xia Empire road traffic system. The shortest of the six Grand Dao is more than 6,000 miles, the longest is more than 10,000 miles, and the total mileage is sixty thousand li away.

This kind of huge national project has never been thought of by all the dynasties before it. Some people may have thought about it, but the productivity level does not meet the requirements, and it can only be put down in a circle in the mind, which is impossible to achieve.

But Ying Yi dared.

The backbone of Sixty Thousand Li, with three horizontal and three verticals, should be constructed within a year, even if it is a few hundred years later, it is mostly a delusion of infatuation. However, Ying Yi has a certain degree of confidence—one is that there are tens of millions of slaves that have grown in Yuanyuan, the other is that there is no shortage of food, and the third is that the Origin Qi scheme provides convenience.

It is precisely with these conditions that Ying Yi has a bolder follow-up plan - the construction of secondary roads and final roads.

The so-called secondary road is the road connecting the county government, which can be called the official road in the past. The nodes are the administrative offices of county, prefecture and state level 1. In the large frame constructed by the main road, a road traffic network connecting the counties, capitals and states in the northern part of the Great Xia and the Southern Sea is formed.

The mileage of the secondary roads is even more terrifying than the main roads. But secondary roads have their foundations—the official roads established by the previous dynasties and dynasties are the foundation. On the basis of the official way, it should be improved and rested.

The last is the final road, which is actually a road to every village. The ultimate goal of road traffic is to achieve barrier-free talisman tablet between villages and towns. Just like the country before Ying Yi crossed over hundreds of years later.

The tens of millions of slave labor that will continue to grow is one of the foundations for establishing this magnificent transportation system. , is the Great Xia government agency with one heart and one mind.

The Ministry of Industry, which is in charge of transportation construction, has already come up with a general strategy, which has been approved by Ying Yi. This strategy was formally perfected and promulgated in the form of an imperial edict in the spring of the second year of the Chinese era.

The specific strategy is to divide the road system according to the prefecture and county Level 1. Then contract it to a willing contractor. Imperial officials only need to supervise, and then come up with a sum of money and a batch of food.

Contractors do not need to recruit many workers, and slave labor camps are the main force. The contractor is actually just a factor in sharing the chores of the imperial government, saving the government a certain amount of energy. And they can get huge profits from it - the road builders don't own part of the right to use the road, they will only get the money from the empire - anyway, the empire needs to prepare and issue a lot of new coins at the beginning of its establishment, which is also the reason a distribution channel.

Divided according to the prefecture and county level 1, there are a large number of businessmen who can afford it due to the complexity of the project. If it is divided according to the state Level 1 or even larger amount of work, I am afraid that there will be not many projects that can be built.

Actually, this is also a macro strategy for the empire to mobilize the human, material and financial resources of the commoners, and through this strategy, speed up the popularization of new currency and promote the circulation of commerce. Therefore, this strategy, the outline of Ying Yi, also participated in the improvement of the Ministry of Commerce.

Once the road traffic system is built - it doesn't need to be all built, as long as the main roads are built, the significance to this new empire is predictable. Whether it is civilian talisman tablet, commercial circulation, or military use, it is immeasurable.

The cattle and sheep on the northern grasslands can reach the southernmost tip of the empire within a day through the three main roads, which will be carried by Origin Item transport vehicles that will gradually be used for civilian use in the future. The herbs produced in Liaodong can reach the westernmost point of the empire within a day through the three main roads.

When there is a war on the frontier, whether it is the deployment of materials or the deployment of troops, they can reach their predetermined positions before the situation deteriorates and changes.

Strategic and incomparable.

So even if half of the tens of millions of slaves die or even all of them die, Ying Yi will establish this system.

Of course, this is impossible. If the productivity of the previous dynasty were to build such a system, 10 million people would have to die. Grasslands, deserts, plateaus, and mountains are all huge obstacles to building roads.

However, the Origin Qi scheme can provide protection for this.

The newly released deduction function, on the day of the founding of the country, Ying Yi spent tens of millions of Human Dao Fate to deduce three scenarios. One of them is about road construction.

He needs an Origin Item, an Origin Item that can cut mountains and roads efficiently.

And this plan, in the spring of China's second year, was perfected after nearly half a year of deduction. At present, the Origin Qi Temple is in the implementation of the program.

This new Origin Item, in the deduced scheme, is completely in line with Ying Yi's purpose. It has two efficient functions, one is to cut mountains and the other is to build roads.

There is no need to say more about digging mountains, such as entering Sichuan and Shu, westward to the Tibetan plateau, desert grasslands in Mobei, barren mountains and unruly rivers. According to the old way of thinking, use gunpowder, hammer, chisel, and take human life to fill. And with this Origin Item, you can start a mountain with no difficulty.

Secondly, building roads - Ying Yi upholds the genes of infrastructure madness. When he was in Henan, he was building roads. When they arrived at the capital, they were also building roads, and they are still building roads to this day. But the roads built before are old-fashioned. Not to mention time-consuming and labor-intensive, the gravel road can't stand wind and rain. Unless the Ancestral Dragon builds gallops and the Great Wall as strict as the requirements, it cannot meet the standard of Ying Yi in mind. Therefore, a class of engineering Origin Item with corresponding functions is deduced to solve this problem.
