Even if the construction is started in multiple sections, the difficulty of road construction lies here. It is almost a daydream to complete the construction in a few months.

For example, the road from Pukou to Lu'an can be completed within a few months because the terrain is flat and the construction is not difficult.

Su Yun smiled when he heard this, he naturally hoped that the sooner the better, but how difficult this road was, he could already see it when he inspected it just now, and workers in many places needed to dig a little bit by themselves.

While the two were chatting, more than 20 young people wearing coarse clothes and holding torches came back talking and laughing.

Su Yun looked at the location of the fire with a little curiosity, and Chen Mingshu said at this time: "These should be road construction workers, and many workers are recruited locally. This road has three shifts." Build, don't stop."

Some projects can only be done in three shifts. Although he doesn't want to, but building roads on this cliff is not something that can be stopped just by stopping.

What's more, if you want to open to traffic as soon as possible, you can only choose to work in three shifts and fight at night with lights on.

"I see!"

Hearing this, Su Yun nodded his head to express his understanding. It is normal to want to rush the construction period. After all, Chen Mingshu originally planned to take a few years, ten years. If he wants to fix it as soon as possible, this arrangement is also normal.

And it would be reasonable to work in three shifts.

Old Li's son Li Shuanzhu froze in place when he saw Su Yun and Chen Mingshu at his home.

He was a little at a loss. He saw these two people watching them work in a boat on the river this afternoon. At that time, he thought that it might be some two big figures who came to inspect.

Afterwards, someone told him the identities of Su Yun and Chen Mingshu, and he was stunned on the spot. Now when he saw the two big men in his home, he was even more nervous and didn't know what to do.

"That...I..."

Li Shuanzhu stuttered watching them speak, he had never seen such a scene before.

Su Yun looked at the young man in front of him and said with a light smile: "Relax, don't be nervous, we are human, and we won't eat you, and don't reveal our identities."

He could see that Li Shuanzhu in front of him should know their identities, but in order not to cause unnecessary trouble, he reminded him.

Li Shuanzhu nodded upon hearing this.

At this time, Su Yun, Li Shuanzhu, and Chen Mingshu entered the house. At this time, the meal was not ready yet, so Su Yun sat down.

"Come over and talk?"

Su Yun looked at Li Shuanzhu and said with a smile.

Seeing Su Yun's easy-going appearance, Li Shuanzhu couldn't help but relax a lot. He said with a naive smile, "Mr. Su, please wait a moment, I'll change my clothes and come over!"

He had just come back from work, and his body was also very dirty, so it was not good to just come in front of Su Yun. He hurried over and changed into clean clothes, and then came out and sat at the table.

"Mr. Su, I kept you waiting, just ask me to tie you up."

Li Shuanzhu introduced himself. He was still a little excited to be able to talk to such a big man.

Su Yun nodded with a smile when he heard the words, and then asked, "How does it feel to build roads?"

"This road is too difficult to build. For someone like me, after working hard for four hours, he can dig down six or seven inches of rock formation. Especially, the further you go into the mountain, the harder the rock formation. I have been digging all the way for about a month." Use three iron chisels."

Li Shuanzhu said helplessly that those rock formations were a bit too difficult to dig. He worked eight hours a day, but he didn't dig too deep.

Su Yun nodded when he heard the words. If this road was so easy to build, the ancients would have built it long ago, and they would not have waited for him to come.

And there is also the reason Li Shuanzhu said, the rock formation is too thick and hard, it is difficult for them to excavate, which seriously affects the progress.

Su Yun looked at Li Shuanzhu and asked, "Are all the young people in the village going to build roads?"

He saw those people holding torches just now, and they seemed to be quite large in number, in groups.

Li Shuanzhu felt that Su Yun and Chen Mingshu were more talkative, so he relaxed a little.

He looked at Su Yun and said, "Not to mention our Xiatang Village, but most of the young people from the above villages like Zengjiaping and Datang Village have come to build roads. After all, the wages for road construction are generous."

Su Yun shrugged, noncommittal about wages, and then he asked: "' ‖Everyone has built roads, what about the land?"

Young people go to build roads, and there are only some old people left in the village. It is impossible to give all the cultivated land to the old people in the village, right?He just saw that the old people in the village were quite old, and it might be difficult to do farm work.

Li Shuanzhu smiled wryly upon hearing this.

At this time, Chen Mingshu said: "This is a mountainous area with very little land. The people here mainly make a living by hunting and gathering herbs."

There is still relatively little arable land here, and farming is naturally not very good, but those in the deep mountains and wild forests can hunt, and there are many medicinal materials on the mountains for them to pick.

"Pick medicine?"

Su Yun was a little puzzled when he heard this.He did not expect this.

Li Shuanzhu said with a wry smile: "In fact, collecting herbs can only be used to make ends meet. The medicinal material merchants from outside try their best to lower the prices every time, so we don't collect many medicinal materials every year. If there are more medicinal materials, the merchants will lower the prices even harder."

They can only support their families by collecting herbs, so instead of relying on collecting herbs and hunting to make a living, it is better to come here to build roads, and the wages for road repairs are also high. money.

Su Yun nodded when he heard the words. He knew about it. After all, these domestic businessmen are very skilled at lowering prices.

Squeeze the remaining benefits from these ordinary people, and then make a lot of fat by yourself.

After a while, dinner will be ready, and Su Yun (Qian Lizhao) will fall asleep after dinner. He is really tired after staying on the boat all day.

The next morning, Su Yun, Chen Mingshu and his party set off again.

At noon, the boat finally arrived at Feixian Pass, which has been the gateway to Shu since ancient times.

In the Tang Dynasty, it was called Feixian Pavilion, and the poem title of "Feixian Pavilion" said: "Xu Zuoqing transformed the crane (Feixian) here, hence the name.

There are hundreds of pavilions and roads on it, and the general name is Lianyunzhan.

There is also a book that says: Forty miles north of the county, there is Feixian Pavilion, which is immersed in a deep pool, like a flying fairy.

The literati of past dynasties passed through the Shu Road, and there were many inscriptions, lamenting the difficulty of the Shu Road.

And it is rumored that the two sides of Feixianguan are so dangerous that only gods can fly over it.

After the boat entered Feixian Pass, it felt that the two banks became narrower, and the river became turbulent. The boat swayed and moved forward under the impact of the current.

Looking around, Su Yun saw that the left and right banks were mostly cliffs, which were continuous. There were no mountains here, and it was clear that the Jialing River was trapped by two gable walls.

It is rumored that there is another dangerous place in Feixianguan that there are frequent rockfalls and mudslides.

Su Yun looked at the two gable walls and found that there were many broken rocks, as if they would fall down at any time, coupled with the mountain drop of hundreds of meters, it made people feel a little breathless or depressed.

Workers work on these nearly vertical mountain surfaces, digging the mountain with chisels.

Chapter 204: The Zhao Family Difficulty

A group of people came to the middle of Feixianguan, and the turbulent water hit the mountain in front of them.

The boat began to turn, and the field of vision became wider.The water flow has also become slightly slower, and there is a big bend in the distance ahead.

Su Yun knew that the middle part of Feixianguan was surrounded by Jialing River, forming a shape of a few characters, and Su Yun looked to the right, this is the entrance of the mouth of a few characters.

And the workers need to dig a tunnel in this lonely mountain to connect it. At this time, many workers have already gathered here.

Although this tunnel is not long, it is the most important.

The boat finally passed Feixian Pass, and after passing it was Shahe Town.

Shahe Town is a scouring plain. Although the area is not large, the terrain here is relatively gentle.

Su Yun and the others stayed in Shahe Town that night, and Shahe Town still found a temporary place to stay, so there was no need to bother to stay overnight.

After a night's rest, he continued to go north the next day. Along the way, Su Yun saw many workers digging.

In the afternoon, Su Yun and the others arrived at Mingyue Gorge.

Mingyue Gorge is one of the main throats entering Sichuan, and it is also one of the sources of Li Bai's difficult road to Shu.

The terrain here is more steep than Feixianguan.

As far as the eye can see, there are thousands of walls standing on both sides of the galloping Jialing River, the terrain is steep, and mountains lie in front of you.

The difference between the Jialing River and the peak is more than 2000 meters.

The depth of the valley is 2000 meters, one can imagine how steep it is.

The road cannot be built along the river, because it is too steep, and even the ancient plank road can only go along the ridge.

For this section of road several kilometers long, the choice of the Ministry of Communications is to dig tunnels.

Starting from Chaotianguan and ending at Chaotianshuiyi, the entire tunnel is nearly four kilometers long.

In the evening, arrive at Chaotianshuiyi.

"After Chaotianshuiyi, Highway 857 will part ways with Jialing River, and there is still a section of about six or seven kilometers that will be the most difficult.

After this section, it will temporarily enter a section of relatively flat terrain, and further north is Qipanguan.

The entire Qipanguan Pass needs to be dug through a tunnel, and the length of the entire tunnel exceeds seven kilometers. "

Chen Mingshu looked into the distance and said.Thinking that the next section is the most difficult of this section.

He couldn't help but sweat for these people from the Ministry of Communications.But there is no way, the road still needs to be built.

Su Yun nodded in response when he heard the words, he knew the chessboard was closed.

As for the waterway to Qipanguan, he is also clear.

The water flow along the way was faster than what they encountered before, and there were many cliffs around. The workers had to work in these places, and the amount of work was quite large.

Of course, the flat areas mentioned by Chen Mingshu, the surrounding mountains and cliffs!These are all the same.

The mountains stretched up and down all the way to the north, and once you got out of this gate, you would encounter the chessboard gate that Chen Mingshu said.

Qipanguan is located on Qipanling, the continuous Daba mountain range.

This is the only road hub in Sichuan connecting North China, Central Plains and Northwest China.

Together with Baishuiguan, Jiamengguan and Jianmenguan, it is called the four famous passes in northern Sichuan.

He is even more aware of the dangers of the chessboard.

It has been recorded in history that when the Sichuan-Shaanxi Highway was built in 36, even the highway designers in the United States were helpless and could only plan to take a detour.

In the end, it took a lot of effort to bypass this famous dangerous pass, and found another path from the side of the mountainside of Qipanling, winding several times, and winding down.

It is conceivable how strong the sense of oppression brought by the danger (ajec) of the chessboard level is.

And Qipanguan is only the lower area of ​​Daba Mountain.

The towering Daba Mountain is surrounded by cliff-like gables. It is said in "The Difficult Road to Shu" that the Daba Mountains were built by Wu Ding.

No wonder it is said that the road to Shu is difficult. Under such an environment, it may not be so easy to get through.

After running around for several days, Chen Mingshu looked at Su Yun with a smile and said, "Ziwen, do you still want to see it?"

This road has not come to an end yet. They have spent these days in the water, and they basically boarded the boat and went upstream without touching the ground for a long time.

"no need!"

Hearing this, Su Yun shook his head. After watching for a few days, he also had a clearer understanding of this section of the road, and he didn't need to look at the rest.

The next morning, Su Yun and Chen Mingshu went back by boat. The speed of the boat on the return journey became very fast. Because it went down the current, it saved a lot of time compared to the previous trip.

They returned to Guangyuan smoothly that night, and Chen Mingshu and others came to stay at the temporary residence.

Su Yun began to meditate at the place where he was staying, and he remembered the conversation a person had with him before.

That is Li Shuanzhu.

The medicinal materials he mentioned awakened him, and it was also mentioned in the 100 method of losing money before that traditional Chinese medicine is quite a loss of money.

He didn't plan to develop Chinese medicine so soon before, but now he thinks Chinese medicine can be used as a money-losing plan.

In the case of Li Shuanzhu and the others, there is not much arable land at home, and they really need to find a way out from other places, such as collecting medicines. When he becomes a Chinese medicine doctor, he can also take care of the price of medicines. This plan is really feasible.

And at this moment, Chen Mingshu came in, and after he sat down, he looked at Su Yun and said, "Ziwen, are you going back tomorrow or when?"

Looking at Su Yun's posture, he might have to go back soon, but he has other plans.

"I'm flying back tomorrow."

Su Yun said with a smile, he has been delayed here for a few days, and it is time to go back, and there are some things that must be dealt with.

Chen Mingshu nodded and said: "Okay, then I won't go back with you, I will stay here for a few more days."

He still has some things to deal with here, so he won't go back with Su Yun.

The next morning, Su Yun got in a car and went to the airport, while Chen Mingshu went with Su Yun. He came to see Su Yun off, and then came to the airport. Su Yun left Guangyuan by plane.

At noon, Su Yun arrived at Jinling Airport. After getting off the plane, Su Yun didn't rush back to the company headquarters immediately. Instead, he took the car he had prepared earlier and headed to the school town.

The car drove all the way to the office, and when Su Yun got out of the car, a figure trotted out, and he stood in front of Su Yun to greet him.
