Three Kingdoms: Unlimited Premium Gift Pack

Of course, among them, there are three eunuchs whose ideas are different from other eunuchs.

The first eunuch, Cao Jie.

At this time, his heart was full of sneers: For more than ten years, the champion Hou has been sitting in Liangzhou steadily, and he hasn't shown his power for a long time. Do you really think he is a sick cat?

I'm afraid this time, both His Majesty and the eunuch who went to extort money are... bringing shame on themselves!

The other two eunuchs were named Feng Qiao and Xu Feng.

The main purpose of their invitation to Liangzhou was not to blackmail Liu Yan's money, but to spy on Liangzhou's intelligence.

That's right, to spy on Liangzhou's intelligence!

Because, on the surface, these two people are eunuchs of the Great Han Palace, but in fact they are good teachers of the Taiping Dao.

There is a saying in the "Taiping Jing": "There are billions of stars? It's not as bright as a day. The words of Zhutian group branch are not as good as a country!"

Therefore, in the Tao of Taiping, virtuousness is the most noble title for a person.

Zhang Jiao called himself a great virtuous teacher.

Feng Xuan and Xu Feng are virtuous teachers, and their status in the Taiping Dao is only lower than that of Zhang Jiao.

A few days ago, when Zhang Jiao came to Luoyang, what he said to them still lingered in his ears: I, the Taiping Dao, is about to start an incident, and I know the situation in all parts of the world like the palm of my hand.Except for one place, that is Liangzhou.

Liu Yan can't pour the water in Liangzhou's business, and the needle can't penetrate it. I am too peaceful to say that if I go to Liangzhou to develop forces, even if I send spies, they will be wiped out by Liu Yan's Dongchang, and even the slightest news will not come back. .You must find a way to find out what is true in Liangzhou.

Now, there is an opportunity to be the envoy of Emperor Liu Hong, to go to Liangzhou, how can the two of them miss it?

However, with so many eunuchs vying for this job, can it be our turn?

Feng Xuan and Xu Feng were really worried.

Finally, Liu Hong made a decision and said: "Okay! Dear friends, you are really loyal. How about this, this time, Han Kui will be the chief envoy, Xu Feng will be the deputy envoy, and the trip to Liangzhou is superficially a condolence The hard work of the champion Hou Liu Yan guarding the border is actually a huge sum of 500 billion for me!

In addition, in order to make things easier for you, I sent Chun Yuqiong, the captain of the Yueqi school, to lead the escort of five hundred soldiers from the Yueqi battalion.I don't know the two lovers, what do you think? "

In Liu Hong's view, sending two of the ten permanent attendants as envoys is enough to express the importance he attaches to Liu Yan.

As long as Liu Yan is not stupid, he will obediently donate 500 billion money to protect himself.

Chunyu Qiong is even more complicated!

This person is a general who was single-handedly selected by himself, shrewd and capable, resolute and decisive, proficient in everything from culture to martial arts.

The soldiers under his command were also trained strictly by the imperial court with a lot of money. Both the equipment and combat power are quite impressive, representing the current strength of the imperial court.

After Liu Yan saw the strength of Chunyu Qiong and the five hundred soldiers, he would definitely be shocked by the strength of the imperial court and submit obediently!

This arrangement is perfect!

"My servant thanked Your Majesty Long En! This servant complied!"

Han Kui and Xu Feng bowed to thank them.

What Han Kui thought was: this time he went to Xiliang, he must make a big deal, not only to make great contributions to His Majesty, but also to make a windfall for himself.

What Xu Feng thought was: this time he went to Xiliang, he must carefully observe the strength of Xiliang, and report to the leader.Of course, it would be better to make a windfall and help the Taiping Dao with military funds!

All in all, the two eunuchs had their own thoughts, and under the escort of five hundred soldiers led by Chun Yuqiong, they came towards Liangzhou.

Half a month later, they had left Longguan and entered Liangzhou.

"Oh my God, what... what is that? This... how is this possible?"

After walking for less than ten miles, Xu Feng was riding on a tall horse, looking at the scene in front of him, and exclaimed.

Because, he suddenly discovered that the official road, which was originally only four or five feet wide, suddenly became more than two feet wide!

It can almost accommodate four large vehicles on the wrong road!

And most importantly, the whole road is not paved with loess, but with a strange stone.

The whole road is extremely hard and flat, and it is many times stronger than the official roads in other places in Dahan.

Although Xu Feng has not been to Liangzhou, he is familiar with the palace!

The imperial palace is the most magnificent place for a big man.However, Xu Feng can be sure that even in the imperial palace, the roads in most places are useless, comparable to the official roads in front of him!

What happened to Liu Yan?

What happened to Liangzhou?

Isn't building such an official road equivalent to throwing money directly on the official road?What's the point?

And most importantly, this road has no end in sight, how long is it?

How much did Liu Yan spend on this road?

Chapter 137 Building the Road to the Empire with the Bones of Foreign Races

Dare I ask Mr. Yan, where does this road lead to, and how long is it? "Xu Feng asked a middle-aged man beside him.

This middle-aged man was none other than Yan Zhong, a civil official from Liangzhou sent by Liu Yan to welcome the imperial envoy.

Although Yan Zhong's reputation is not well known in later generations, he is an extremely remarkable figure in this era.

He is not only Jia Xu's fellow villager, but also Jia Xu's teacher.

When Jia Xu was unknown in his youth, only Yan Zhong believed that Jia Xu had the talents of Zhang Liang and Chen Ping, and taught him carefully.

According to historical records, after Huangfu Song put down the Yellow Turban Rebellion, Yan Zhong immediately persuaded him to launch a coup and establish a new king.Huangfusong refused, and Yan Zhong fled back to Liangzhou without hesitation.

Four years later, the fourth Qiang rebellion broke out in Liangzhou. The rebels admired Yan Zhong's talent and ability, and unanimously agreed to force Yan Zhong to be the leader of the rebel army.Yan Zhong refused to help the tyrant, so he died angrily!

Possesses an amazing talent, is not foolish and loyal to the emperor, and does not compromise with other races.In a sense, Yan Zhong is a sunny version of Jia Xu.

Jia Xu only wants to use his talents to seek wealth and honor for himself, but what Yan Zhong wants is to govern the country and stabilize the country.

It's a pity that the sky is jealous of talents, Yan Zhong's luck is bad, and he died young.

For such a character, Liu Yan, who has a masterpiece of Chinese people, of course has to be recruited.

As the life of the people in Liangzhou prospered, Yan Zhong also willingly became Liu Yan's loyal dog, and he dedicated himself to Liu Yan until he died.

Now, Yan Zhong smiled slightly, and said proudly: "This road is quite not short, from here, from here to the city of Malacanda. It's a full... eight thousand miles away."

"What? Eight...eight thousand miles?" Xu Feng couldn't believe his ears.

Han Kui, who was making this trip, was also shocked, and exclaimed, "What? Eight thousand miles, how much does it cost? Can the people of Liangzhou afford it?"

Han Kui thought that he was good enough at squeezing people.

However, he was thinking about it, but he couldn't figure out how to squeeze the people of Liangzhou to build this [-]-mile-long road!It is not enough to force the people of Liangzhou to be displaced and sell their children and daughters!

"The people of Liangzhou?" Yan Zhong rolled his eyes and said, "What's the matter with the people of Liangzhou?"

"Why don't you care about the people of Liangzhou?" Han Kui said, "Don't think that I don't know anything because I'm an eunuch. To build this kind of road, you need to dig huge stones from the mountains and transport them to a suitable location.

A road of eight thousand miles consumes a lot of manpower and material resources.With the strength of Liangzhou, how could it be possible to afford it? "

"Hey, this is why the imperial envoy doesn't understand?"

Yan Zhong stretched out two fingers, and said: "First, who told the imperial envoy that this kind of road needs to transport huge boulders? Second, who told the imperial envoy that this kind of road needs the people of Liangzhou, so they did it themselves?"

Next, Yan Zhong's words shocked Han Kui and Xu Feng's jaws.

First, the road in front of them is called a cement road.It is not paved with strange stones at all, but made of a special powder.

This kind of powder was invented by Liu Yan, Mu Liu of Liangzhou, and its name is cement.

As long as you add water to the cement, mix it into mud, and spread it on the already leveled land, you can build a good road.The required manpower and material resources are much less than they expected.

Secondly, the people who built this excellent road were not the people of Liangzhou, but slaves.

Yes, slaves.

14 years ago, Liu Yan forced Guishuang to cede the city of Malakanda and its surrounding areas.Can Guishuang people be convinced?

They didn't dare to fight Liu Yan head-on, so they resorted to two poisonous tricks.

One is to instigate people in Malacanda and its surrounding areas to launch a rebellion.

The customs and habits of the people here are completely different from those of the big man, and they have no loyalty to the big man.They were instigated by the Guishuang people, and they really continued to rebel against the big man.

Second, there are a large number of barbarian tribes north of Malacanda.The Guishan people told about the prosperity of Malacanda, provided them with weapons and armor, and encouraged them to harass Malacanda.

At first, Liu Yan ordered Ma Ping to guard the place.Guishuang's two poisonous tricks really made Ma Ping feel a little bit burnt out.

However, ten years ago, the guard here became a man named Duan Weiming (Duan Jiong).

Next, it's amazing!

Although Duan Weiming is over [-] years old and has gray hair, he is hardworking and extremely decisive in killing.He fought almost the whole year after he arrived in Malacanda.

Attacking from the front, sneaking from behind, chasing and killing thousands of miles away, divine soldiers descending from the sky, splitting up and wooing... Duan Weiming must eliminate all those who are enemies of the big man by any means.

Originally, according to Duan Weiming's temper, all the prisoners of war were executed.However, soon, Liu Yan sent a letter that slaves were needed to build roads for Liangzhou.

Ever since, Duan Weiming degraded all the prisoners of war, even all the young and middle-aged men from the barbarian tribes who had attacked Malakanda, as slaves and sent them to Liangzhou to build roads.

Within a year, the number of slaves sent to Liangzhou reached [-]!

Within a year, let Malacanda completely stabilize, no one dares to have the slightest thought.Those surviving barbarian tribes are simply more obedient than little sheep!

Nine years later, less than [-] of the [-] slaves remained, and this [-]-mile road was finally completed.

"so……"

Yan Zhong looked at Han Kui and Xu Feng with a smile, and said, "Do you know how this road came about? On the one hand, it was my family, Zhou Mu, who invented cement. On the other hand, it was a hundred thousand foreign slaves. blood and tears and bones!"

He introduced the origin of the eight thousand li road in great detail.

Isn't the main purpose to answer Han Kui's question, but to warn the two eunuchs——

Don't think that the champion Hou An has become a good man and a faithful woman after guarding Liangzhou for more than ten years.In fact, even one of his generals is enough to set off a bloody storm!

However, the purpose of his words was only half achieved.

When Xu Feng heard this, he couldn't help but secretly startled: one of Liu Yan's generals can lead a partial division to capture [-] prisoners of war within a year.It is indeed terrifying to let the plans of the Guishuang Empire come to nothing.

What about Liu Yan himself?

What about the main force in Liangzhou led by Liu Yan?

To what extent can the combat power reach?

We Taipingdao, can we really be the opponent of such a character?

Han Kui's focus was not on Liangzhou's strength at all.He only cared about how much benefit he could extort when he came to Liangzhou this time.

Listening to Yan Zhong's explanation of the construction of the [-]-mile road is reasonable, his eyes can really shine.

Han Kui asked: "Even if the [-]-mile road uses the cement that Champion Hou said. Even if [-] slaves are used, this cement cannot be obtained out of thin air.

These slaves always have to eat and dress, right?Tools are always damaged, right?I don't know, how much did Liangzhou spend on the [-]-mile cement road? "

Chapter 138 Liangzhou is rich and number one in the world

Yan Zhongman said nonchalantly: "Not much, not much, 40 billion yuan a year, but only 360 billion yuan in nine years. I can afford it in Liangzhou!"

what?

360 million?

Liu Yan actually spent 360 billion yuan on the land of Liangzhou for nothing.

Moreover, according to what Yan Zhong meant, this little money is nothing to Liangzhou?

How rich is Liangzhou itself?

Your Majesty wants 500 billion, isn't it a little less?

Hearing this, Han Kui's eyes were filled with passion and greed!

……

Han Kui and Xu Feng continued to move forward.

The more they walked, the more they understood the power and wealth of Xiliang.

Look at those pedestrians walking on the cement road. Although many of them are wearing coarse clothes, they are tall and straight, full of spirit, never lacking smiles on their faces, and full of hope for life.

This is in stark contrast to the people in other parts of the Han Dynasty.
