Chapter 4399: next stage
Chen Xi looked Li You up and down, and said after a while, "Do you think there are not enough things recently?"
Li You was almost choked to death by Chen Xi's words, but he had to admit that it seemed that after Rome notified the major countries of the world that it was preparing to celebrate its centenary, world-class disasters never stopped.
"I don't know about Guishuang, but our side has already sent a letter to 'please' Rome to stop the centennial celebration." Although Chen Xi doesn't believe in metaphysics, he doesn't want metaphysics to continue to deteriorate because of an already bad situation. down.
Just like the atheist Chinese government in the later generations, when they are engaged in large-scale construction and large-scale activities, they will choose a good day and auspicious day. one time.
Chen Xi didn't think it was because of Rome's centenary that caused this series of incidents, even if there was indeed a certain connection, but realistically speaking, these incidents were more accidents, but based on the fact that there are too many recent broken facts, Chen Xi I think it is better to let Rome calm down.
"Under such circumstances, there should be no hope for the centennial celebration." Chen Xi said with a smile, "Even because of this incident, there might be no centennial celebrations in Rome in the future, even if someone like me who doesn't believe in metaphysics Guys, this time it’s a bit of a bummer.”
"It's okay to stop. If I really want to say, I'm also afraid that Rome will continue to mess around." Li You nodded after thinking for a while. With so much fun before, it would be more appropriate to stop.
"I don't know what's going on in Northern Europe now, and Rome's aristocratic families in Central Asia and the caravans staying in Rome should pay more attention. Zijing's medicine can only solve the parasitized ones. The problem, we now need anti-epidemic drugs against parasitism, and the latter is the real solution to the problem." Chen Xi told Li You.
"Speaking of which, are you sure you're going to go to Xinzhou from Yongliang, and then go to Sichuan?" Li You heard that he understood, and then naturally changed the question.
The previous east tour tour was a new wave of industrial layout, which solved many problems and made the second five-year plan have enough support. After the chaos in Jizhou, Chen Xi went through it again in detail. Jizhou, the whole world, Youzhou, Liangzhou, Sichuan and Xinzhou were the only places that Chen Xi didn't inspect carefully.
Putting Youzhou aside for now, Chen Xi probably won't have the chance to go to Youzhou in a short time, but the three big states of Liangzhou, Sichuan and Xinzhou, after returning from the east tour, Chen Xi has carried out relevant inspection plans.
Different from the industrial layout of the eastern tour, the three states of the western tour basically involved the logistics arrangement problems of the later period of national development, that is, roads, transportation and other issues.
Liangzhou and Xinzhou on the northwest line have now completed roads. At least the north-south county roads in Xinzhou have been connected, reaching Congling. It can be regarded as really repaired. This road is the basis for Han culture to maintain the regional advantages in Central Asia.
Although if it is to be maintained all year round, and to ensure that government orders can be effectively transmitted to all parts of Central Asia, then the main road extending from Congling to the core area of Central Asia also needs to be built, but this is not something that can be done overnight. Millennium plan.
For Chen Xi, being able to repair the Northwest Corridor and complete the two north-south lines of Xinzhou has already achieved his early plan, because after this road is repaired, as long as Xinzhou can maintain the existing grain output, the country will be guaranteed. Based on the existing station system and the rotation of garrisons, the mainland can maintain its deterrent capability against Central Asia for a long time.
Because the food supply along the Liangzhou line to the Xinzhou line is no problem, the Han Dynasty sent troops from Chang'an, and with the current method of carriage transport, it would take only a little over a month to reach Congling. The chamber has the power to beat Central Asia at any time.
In this way, even if other forces appear in Central Asia, and then repeat, relying on the local deterrence, the Han civilization can take root tenaciously, even if the times turn and the Han Dynasty falls apart, such troop transfer capabilities can also guarantee Successors can continue to maintain such a huge cultural circle, and this is the direction Chen Xi has been working towards.
It can be said that the road to the northwest has not been completed. As long as those Han families in Central Asia or even in Africa are weak, they may be reversely absorbed and assimilated and conquered. For the Han Dynasty, Asia, which is now Nanyue, is far away, but it will never be lost.
Chen Xi didn't want to work hard for so long, and finally, under various accidents, the heyday cultural circle he had established was conquered by foreigners, so while trying to expand the cultural circle, Chen Xi was also constantly checking for omissions and making up for gaps, trying his best to Close all loopholes.
Therefore, when the Northwest Corridor is completed, Chen Xi will definitely go to Xinzhou to conduct inspections.
To be honest, although Sima Lang is Chen Xi's distant cousin, and he is really capable, Chen Xi is really not at ease when he did those things last time. Need to see what's going on over there.
There are various reasons for whether a nation can be rooted in one land, but the core point is actually one, whether it can live on this land, and whether it can live well!
The former decides whether there are people, and the latter decides whether to work hard for this land.
On the local side of the Han Dynasty, Chen Xi has seen everything he can see, and adjusted everything that needs to be adjusted. Even though Chen Xi is indeed a little arrogant in some aspects, Chen Xi is indeed trying to make the people have a better year as much as possible. , so even if the foreign war is fought non-stop, the country as a whole does not have any emotions such as war weariness.
But Xinzhou is different. Chen Xi doesn't know what's going on there. Chen Xi has also read the official document submitted by Sima Lang, and it's really okay. The problem is that the official document is far from the reality. The gap between the words on the paper and the reality Actually very large.
The simplest one is that, according to the records in the bamboo slips of Sleeping Tiger Land, the completeness of the laws of the Great Qin Dynasty has completely exploded for later generations, involving almost all aspects, and there are laws to follow in almost all situations. all know.
No matter what kind of legal system it is, when it comes to reality, it still depends on the executor. All legal systems, when it comes to reality, are actually the rule of man.
Similarly, no matter how well written a law is, if the executor misreads it for you, there is no way to express it in law, only in examples.
There is a saying called "When you commit a crime, use the light to show the light, and when you commit the crime, use the light to show the weight." This thing is not even an unspoken rule, but a rule that is still in use today.
What is the rule of man, this is the rule of man.
Under such circumstances, Chen Xi can only trust Sima Lang's official documents to seven points, and the rest has to be investigated by himself. It is true that he can send people to investigate and collect information, but there are also various ways to deceive the superiors. Chen Xi never believed that it was all about honest officials.
Even Yanzhou and Jizhou's troubles are so big, to Chen Xi, it's nothing more than ordinary, and the bureaucratic troubles are not so outrageous, it is not normal.
There are all kinds of talents in this circle, and there are also all kinds of darkness that make people look traumatized. There are also some heroes who really work hard with their lives, and there are everyone.
In fact, this is the normal situation. It is unrealistic to have all good people or all bad people. Most people are just ordinary people.
So the best way to solve the problem is to go there by yourself, just like the recent animal disaster in the Han Dynasty, even if Chen Xi didn't go down, he would know that there must be some false reports of losses in the official documents reported, but as long as It's not too much, Chen Xi can turn a blind eye and close his eyes, but if he crosses a certain line, or even artificially creates losses, he has to strike hard.
Liu Bei was also aware of this, so he went to the place to verify it himself.
In short, the scope of management is now larger, which is different from the situation in the past when every bureaucrat was invited to a meal by Liu Bei and sent to Fenggao City before he took office.
What's more, even that kind of people are corrupted. At most, after Liu Bei appeared in front of him, these people can confess everything calmly, and then cut themselves off with their swords. After all, people's hearts are very complicated, pure white and pure black guys are very few.
"Yes, from Yongliang to Xinzhou, you must go through the northwest passage to Congling, and have a field assessment of Brother Boda's political achievements." Chen Xi nodded calmly.
Li You expressed his understanding when he heard the words. Although Chen Xi asked Li You to point out Sima Lang at the grand court meeting in the sixth year of Yuanfeng, and said that the account was evened, let the past be let bygones be bygones, but Li You knew very well that Sima Lang's account was evened out. Very ordinary, it can only be said that there is barely an explanation.
Under such circumstances, Chen Xi's visit this time can be regarded as the final inspection. If Sima Lang can't reach a level that Chen Xi can see this time, if he is lucky, he will be dismissed for the people.
After all, there are not a few people who want the position of governor of Xinzhou. No matter how bad it is, Zhang Ji, who is in Tibet, is also a good choice. Swapping their positions will solve everything.
Even from Li You's standpoint, Chen Xi delayed going to Xinzhou until now, which is already enough time for Sima Lang. If he still fails to meet the standard, then no matter how much affection the Sima family has, it will not be enough to consume. Sima died. Jun used it to ward off disasters, and it has already consumed a large wave, and it will be consumed later...
"Go to the northwest first, and then go to the southwest?" Li You didn't specifically mention Sima Lang, but naturally turned to Chen Xi's itinerary.
"Well, when the time comes, the road to the southwest will be repaired." Chen Xi said slowly.
"The road to the southwest is going to be repaired?" Li You gasped. Although he didn't pay too much attention to Sun Qian's side, it shouldn't be so fast.
"It's not that the road to the Ganges River has been repaired, but that all the viaducts in the Hengduan Mountains have been repaired. There is basically no need to consider the construction of the viaducts in the future. The difficulty of construction is basically not difficult for Gongyou." Chen Xi explained. road.
There is actually no technical difficulty in building roads in the plains, and planning and design are not a problem. At least Yuan Shu and Liu Zhang are already mature construction teams who can build county roads.
The road on the southwest side has been delayed for so long, more because Chen Xi took a straight line in the southwest mountainous area out of convenience.
Difficult projects such as viaducts and tunnels have ensured that the roads from Chang'an to Hanzhong, Hanzhong to Chengdu, and Chengdu to Kunmi are almost as straight as possible. Such a road is almost the overall optimal construction plan.
The only shortcoming is probably that the installation is too difficult. The advantage is that after repairing, it can be guaranteed to go abroad from Chang'an within a month, and it also ensures that the follow-up materials can be distributed on a large scale within two to three months. Transfer to Chang'an.
Of course, at that time, Chengdu, as an important node, will inevitably assume the military strength in the southwest region, so that the efficiency of sending troops will be further improved.
As for Chang'an, as long as it maintains a military force sufficient to suppress the important nodes of the Southwest military equipment, the stability of the entire Southwest theater can be maintained.
It can be said that the southwest line is the basis for the Han Dynasty to rule the entire west line and maintain the stability of Liangzhou and Xinzhou caused by subsequent possible climate problems.
Conversely, such a structure also ensures that the power of Liangzhou and Xinzhou will be used by Chang'an, and can continue to carry out military suppression on the Southwest Front at a very low cost.
Therefore, the completion of the Northwest and Southwest routes means that Chen Xi’s planning was carried out in the middle and later stages by strategy. As for the foreign part of the Southwest Route, it will be built in stages, and the Ganges can be built in about two to three years. The docking of the main road on the other side of the Ganges can basically complete the extended rule of the Han Dynasty.
"In this case, wouldn't it be over to connect directly with the road on the Indochina Peninsula?" Li You asked a little puzzled.
"You don't think that the road you walked back then is still there?" Chen Xi said, rolling his eyes.
The road that Li You went south was built by Yuan Shu and Liu Zhang jointly. To put it bluntly, it was a road that could be passed quickly by forcibly paving it with concrete.
But let alone the tropical rainforest after the strengthening of the essence of heaven and earth, even if you build a road in the tropical rainforest in reality, if you don’t lay the roadbed, dig out the wet soil, backfill gravel, and don’t compact the filler, the road repair It's over, it won't last a year...
Therefore, the road was destroyed by the roots of plants in the past, and this time it needs to be rebuilt, and it must be done according to the regulations.
