Three Kingdoms Simulator: This Ma Su is too stable

Chapter 122 I, Ma Di, have never relied on cheating in my life (ask for a monthly ticket!)

……

Since Zhuge Liang was responsible for all other matters, Ma Su only needed to fix the road.

For this reason, Zhuge Liang specially named him a "Sinong Zhongcheng", giving him the right to mobilize local officials and people to cooperate in road construction.

But Ma Di felt that he did not need local officials to hold him back.

So, after sending away the envoy of Qiemo, Ma Di got busy.

First of all, he issued a transfer order, and the two generals Huang Xi and Li Sheng selected [-] young and strong from the three Qiang tribes of the Southern Qiang, Dongqiang, and Xianling Qiang, and immediately rushed to Chengdu to start a vigorous road construction project.

Fast forward to the end of March.

After a fierce loan, the total debt also came to 36800 points.

After Ma Di had a long and laborious farewell ceremony with his first wife.He took the Qiang girl, the eldest son Ma Wen, the three major generals and [-] Qiang people, picked up the planing shovel, and rushed to the four counties of Nanzhong in a fierce manner.

To be honest, Ma Di actually didn't know where the four counties of Nanzhong were, and where he wanted to start building roads.

Fortunately, Zhuge Liang, a caring and all-knowing prime minister, knew that his head fell on the snow mountain and had selective amnesia.

Therefore, before departure, timely inform each other of the maps of the four counties of Nanzhong and the intricate situation in the area.

The four counties in Nanzhong are Zangke, Yuexi, Yizhou and Yongchang.After Zhuge Liang pacified Nanzhong, he divided the four counties of Nanzhong into seven counties of Nanzhong, namely Zangke, Yuexi, Zhuti, Jianning, Yongchang, Yunnan, and Xinggu.

Since Jianning County is located in the center of Nanzhong Seven Counties, Zhuge Liang appointed Li Hui, who is capable of governing, as the prefect of Jianning, and General Jia Anhan, who moved to govern Wei County and took charge of Nanzhong Seven Counties; Lu Kai was appointed as Yunnan County. The prefect; take Ma Zhong as the prefect of Zangke.

Therefore, the best road construction plan in theory is to first build a road from Chengdu to Jianning County, and then build roads from Jianning to the other six counties to create a "meter"-shaped traffic network. , Build Jianning into the core hub of Nanqi County.Together with Hanzhong and Chengdu, it has become the three core areas distributed in the north, middle and south of Shuhan.

"This, isn't this the Three Kingdoms version of the Southwest Development..."

Baili in the southern suburbs of Chengdu, in the large tent of the engineering team, Ma Di gasped, and then his scalp became numb.

A similar scenario comes to mind.

The Qiang girl knelt on the mat, leaning on her chin with her hands, tilting her head, staring at Ma Di in a daze.

She felt that Ma Di, who was thinking seriously, had a very explosive temperament and was very penetrating. Even through a thick mass of fat, he still accurately hit the softness deep in her heart.

Ma Di fixed his gaze on the distorted map of Nanzhong, pointed at the location of Jianning County, and drew five routes in sequence to form a "meter" character.

The first one, Jianning to the north - Zhuti - Chengdu, the distance is about 1000 miles.

The second, Jianning to the east - Xinggu (400 miles), and then east - Zangke (600 miles), the total distance is about 1000 miles.

Article 1000, Jianning to the northwest - Yuexi, the distance is about [-] miles.

Article 1000, Jianning to the southwest - Yongchang, a distance of [-] miles.

Article 1000, Jianning to the southeast - Yunnan, a distance of [-] miles.

"There are hundreds of thousands or even millions of barbarians in Nanzhong. Once the [-]-mile road is completed, the Nanzhong area will be firmly integrated with Yizhou. If this is the case, the Shu Han will take off!"

"However, five thousand miles of roads need to be built here alone... Hiss!"

Ma Di's heart beat wildly: "It's really fatal."

"Although there is a ready-made road, the amount of work to widen, reinforce, and pave the road is not small. Moreover, what should be used to pave the road? Dirt road or stone road? How is the progress of the project? I don't have any experience at all?"

Although there is no cement in this era, road construction technology is still very developed, and roads are generally attributed to three types.

One is the cooked dirt road.Cooked soil is to fry the soil with fire, and then roll it evenly with huge rolling stones several times, which not only ensures the hardness and durability of the road, but also does not have insects or weeds.When Qin destroyed the Six Kingdoms, most of the roads built in the world were of this type, allowing millions of troops to pass without hindrance.

The advantage of mellow soil road construction is that it is convenient and quick. If there are many people, it can build forty or fifty miles a day; the disadvantage is that the service life is relatively short and the resistance to rain erosion is poor.Basically it collapsed after a few heavy rains.

The second is the floor brick road. In the Western Han Dynasty, there were large floor bricks fired with loess, which were very hard and rough.Just level the ground and lay it on it. There are no heavy vehicles or overloaded vehicles in this era, and it can fully meet daily use.

The advantage of the floor tiles is that they are beautiful, generous and durable, and the laying speed is also very fast. As long as the floor tiles are supplied, it will be easy for twenty or thirty miles a day.The disadvantage is that it consumes labor and money.

The third is that stones, palaces and other large buildings are mostly paved with marble, granite and other materials, which are very durable. Even after 2000, many ancient alleys still have well-preserved stone roads.

The advantage of the stone road is that it is cheap, durable, and can be obtained locally; the disadvantage is that it is too heavy, polished into a board, and the amount of transportation is huge, and the laying speed is very slow. exhausting.

You know, with continuous high-intensity labor, no matter how tough a man is, it will be as fragile as a piece of paper.

"Which one should I use?"

"The clay road is not durable, the brick road is expensive, and the stone road is laborious and expensive."

Ma Di frowned, hesitating for a moment.

It stands to reason that among these three roads, the best choice must be the brick road.

But the problem is, with a construction team of 2 people, it is a problem to eat and drink. How can there be money to hire people to make floor tiles?
"Then how should this road be repaired?"

After a while, Ma Di gave the answer himself.

"If only there was cement."

"Yes, cement!"

Although there was no cement in this era, things similar to concrete have appeared in stone buildings, that is, clay, sand, white plaster mud, glutinous rice juice, etc. are mixed and stirred, and after they are solidified, they form a strong adhesive force and can hold Sand, stone and other materials are firmly cemented together.

"It still doesn't work! There's not enough food, so where can I get glutinous rice juice!"

Ma Di quickly rejected this idea, and sighed instead: "It would be great if there were volcanic ash."

Using volcanic ash instead of clay and glutinous rice juice can also create the cement road of the Three Kingdoms era.

The mixture emitted by volcanic ash is very similar to cement in nature. Concrete made of sand and gravel bonded with it not only has high strength after hardening, but also can resist the erosion of fresh water or salt water.In later generations, as an important cementing material, it is widely used in civil construction, road, water conservancy and other projects.

"But where to find volcanic ash?"

Ma Di's heart moved, he turned around and grabbed Qiang girl's wrists with lightning speed, dragged her to him, and asked with wide eyes, "Great wizard, do you know where there is a volcano?"

"Yes, I am willing..." The Qiang girl who was in a daze suddenly found that Ma Di's big face was close at hand, as if she was about to come over, she was shocked immediately, she responded in a panic, lowered her head and said: "Qiang Earth has volcanoes”

"Nearby? Isn't there?" Ma Di stared at the two swirls above her head and asked, but unfortunately there was no answer this time.

Two hair swirls, according to folk proverbs, are the life of many children and many blessings, and they are very fertile...

The Qiang girl lowered her head and shook her head like a rattle drum, her hair fluttered with a faint fragrance; her beauty was charming.

Ma Di angrily let go of her.

Since he had been communicating with his first wife for a long time when he came here, he felt more sage in his heart at the moment, so Ma Di chose to let her go and continue thinking about road construction.

Have to check it out nearby.

Thinking to himself, Ma Su called Zhang Xiu and asked him to look around for an extinct volcano.

He vaguely remembered a rumor about an extinct volcano around Chengdu... In 240 A.D., when General Xiang Chong of the Shu Han led an army to conquer the Han and Jia barbarians in the south, a volcano erupted on Longping Mountain on the way, and the blood stained the river.

Whether this rumor is true or not, it means that there is an extinct volcano here.

While waiting for the news, Ma Di began to carefully study the route.

Several other roads can be laid later, but the Chengdu-Jianning, Jianning-Yongchang and Jianning-Yunnan three roads are the most important.

In this day and age, roads mean tentacles.The place that the main road can reach is the place that the Shu Han can actually control.

Ma Su thought about it in his mind, looked at the map carefully, and finally marked the route from Chengdu to Jianning.

Shu Han takes off, starting from this 1000-mile journey!
Zhang Xiu quickly turned around and brought back an honest man in his 30s. The honest man stammered and described for a long time, but his words were vague and unclear.

Ma Su condensed it for him, and summed it up in eight words: "There is a volcano, and the chicken is ashesy!"

"Hahaha!"

"God help me too!"

Ma Di jumped out of the tent, opened his arms to the sky and laughed wildly, a heroic spirit that seemed to control the universe emerged spontaneously.

"Miracle is calling me!"

"I, Ma Di, have never relied on cheating in my life!"

After all, I bent down and picked up the Qiang girl
Look at a handful of digging at your feet.

With a big wave of his hand: "Boys! With a shovel in hand, follow me; dig mountain ash and build a road to heaven!"

Although the generals and the Qiang people didn't know why Ma Di was happy, they were undoubtedly bewitched by his inflammatory words.

They picked up the planing shovel and the wooden frame one after another, and strode to keep up with the pace.

A huge infrastructure project is coming.

…………

Chengdu, Prime Minister's Mansion, Study Room.

Zhuge Liang was reading the reports from various places, and at the same time listening to the report of the chief bookkeeper Yang Yi on Ma Su's latest developments.

Judging from the information I heard, the road construction is progressing smoothly, and the [-] Qiang laborers are high-spirited. Although all the work is not ready, as long as Ma Di contacts the local officials, the project can start.

Zhuge Liang is an old minister of the Shu Han Dynasty. He has been in the prime minister's position for 20 years, and he has seen all kinds of subordinates, some are fishing, some are incompetent, and some are down-to-earth and willing to work.

To be honest, he has never seen such a passionate subordinate like Ma Di, who loves whatever he does.The whole person is like a little sun, infecting everyone who is close to him, and he treats the prosperity of Shu Han as his lifelong belief.

He is even more dedicated than the prime minister!

If all the subordinates have the character of Ma Su, why worry about the Shu Han being unhappy?He didn't need to spend so much mind and energy to support the overall situation of Shu Han.

Therefore, even though the construction of the road was delayed for a month, Zhuge Liang still showed the utmost patience to Ma Di.

Youchang is not a braggart, if he says yes, he will do it.

Although in his heart, Zhuge Liang also felt that it was a fantasy to build a road of five thousand miles in one year, but he was still willing to trust Ma Su again.

There is no other reason for this, all the bullshit that Xiao Chang boasted about... has come true.

When he came back to his senses, seeing that Yang Yi hadn't finished talking nonsense, and was still talking about "how Ma Di took the girl out of business", "how to waste the money from the treasury all day long", Zhuge Liang suddenly didn't want to listen to him anymore Long-winded, he waved his hand and said:
"Grand Wei, have the cubs' crazy growth bags been put in every lake?"

In fact, what Zhuge Liang wants to say is: Duke Wei, you don’t need to see Ma Di every day, because he no longer has you in his eyes.

You two are no longer on the same level.

Yang Yi was stunned, and replied: "It's released, all the lakes around Chengdu have been released..."

"What about the counties in Central Sichuan?"

Sweat suddenly broke out on Yang Yi's forehead: "This, this is being released, it is being released..."

"Have the potatoes been delivered to every household?"

"It's sending, it's sending..."

"Where is the hardworking fertility water? Does every young man have it?"

"Uh, this..."

"How about the total population statistics of the Shu Han? Have you finished it yet?"

"Uh...Prime Minister, why don't Yi go back and urge the people in the household department?"

"Well, hurry up." Zhuge nodded.

Yang Yi, who was sweating profusely, breathed a sigh of relief, and walked away as if fleeing.
