Zhou Chong pointed to the map and said, "Please look, starting from Jicheng, you can enter Liaodong when you go east, Hetao when you go west, and you can enter the grassland when you go north. Jicheng is actually the number one important town in the north of our Great Qin Dynasty, and you have to strengthen your defense."

All of us are strategists with strategic vision. Zhou Chong's words are not so clever, they can only be considered common sense. Zhou Chong's next statement is what interested them. Zhou Chong said: "It's just that there are mountains in the south of Jicheng, and these mountains are barriers to the Central Plains. With these mountains, the Central Plains will be much safer.

However, these mountains separate Jicheng from the Central Plains, making Jicheng a strategic isolated island for the Qin Dynasty in the north, and it is not easy to get support from the Central Plains and even the whole country. This has to be considered."

The Taihang Mountains mainly separated Beijing from the Central Plains. Qin Shihuang fought against the Huns, and the grain supply mainly came from the Shandong Peninsula. The grain transport team had to cross the Taihang Mountains twice, and took a tortuous road, which consumed a lot, causing serious disasters to the people and even complained.

"This is a question. If Mr. Zhou hadn't mentioned it, I would have ignored this question." The King of Qin patted his forehead and asked for advice: "Mr. Zhou's plan is coming out?"

Zhou Chong pressed his finger on the map and said, "King, Zhou Chong thought that a wharf could be built here so that the southern fleet could be equipped with a royal power. In this way, Jicheng could obtain supplies from here, so that the entire north would be much more stable.

"Just let friends see how important Tianjin is to Beijing now.

"Yes, this is a really good idea!" Everyone praised the high-high.

The King of Qin kept paced back and forth and said, "With this pier, ships from all over the country can arrive soon.

Of course, the ships in Guanzhong can also go downstream and reach through the sea channel; the ships in Shuzhong can also go downstream along the Yangtze River and reach through the sea route. This port can suddenly increase the power of the north. But, you must build a suitable cargo ship.

”

"Please rest assured, this is not difficult." Zhou Chong said confidently: "Please only needs to run a few more shipyards."

The King of Qin agreed: "Yes, with a ship, everything is easy to do. No, I must connect the Yangtze River and the Yellow River, otherwise the ships in Shu would only take a big circle, which would take too much time.

Why didn’t I invite Zheng State? He is a genius in this area, and he has planned it for me. It won’t take much time for the Yangtze River and the Yellow River to be connected."

In history, the Yangtze River and the Yellow River were indeed connected together, which is of great significance to China's development. The Qin King made such a grand plan that people had to convince.

Zhou Chong continued: "With this alone, Jicheng is not enough to become an important town in the north. Zhou Chong thought that roads could be built and connected north and south. In this way, the north and south are integrated, and the king can concentrate all his forces to attack one direction."

Everyone knows that Qin Shihuang has built straight roads, but I believe that there are not too many people who have built straight roads in Mingxiao. In fact, the reason is very simple. At that time, there was no traffic road connecting the north and south. The power could not be used in a concentrated manner.

Especially the war against the Huns, due to the lack of convenient transportation, the grain transport team suffered a lot, according to historians' estimates.

If the Qin people wanted to transport food to the northern war zone, they would consume 99.5% on the way alone, which was too much.

When this problem was prominent, Qin Shihuang realized that this was a big problem and had to be solved, so he built the straight road. Zhou Chong knew history well and decided to build it first, so that military mobilization would not be a problem.

The difference is that taking less detours can save a lot of manpower and material resources, and the tragedy of waste of money and waste money will not be repeated.

"Yes, this is really a good idea." The King of Qin was so excited that he hit each other with his hands and said, "The road needs not only to be repaired, but also to be repaired. We cannot only practice straight roads in the north and south. We also need to practice the key roads in the east and west directions. I believe that the north and south are connected, and the east and west are connected.

The power of the whole country can be squeezed into a powerful fist, and I can hit the point I need.

In this way, whether it is the Huns or the Chu State, they are facing the power of the Qin State, rather than the power of a certain area. No one can stop me. The Chu State cannot, nor can the Huns!”

Li Si was a little scared and said, "I think the king's idea is very grand, but it is time-consuming and labor-intensive to build roads. The Qin Dynasty currently regards winning the world as its top priority. Will it push forward?"

He was talking about a big problem, and the King of Qin rejected it without thinking, saying, "Of course I know that the top priority should be to unify the world.

Li Si, you have to remember that there is no thing in the world that you can only do the next thing when you finish one thing. All that is is that you have to do several things at the same time.

I have not destroyed Chu and pacified the south. The issue of the Huns in the north has been put on the table. I have to worry about it. This is a clear proof.

This is a pragmatic remark, and Li Si was not good at talking about it, so he could only say: "Your Majesty, I think you should pick up the important roads to repair first, and concentrate your efforts to repair a few of the most urgent roads first. It is not too late to repair the rest of the land if you have the spare energy."

The King of Qin praised: "This is a good idea. I will immediately send someone to survey and find the best road construction plan." After later research, I had high geographical survey technology in the Qin Dynasty, otherwise Qin Shihuang would not have been able to make a straight road.

Han Fei thought, "Your Majesty, it is a good thing to build roads, but it is of great benefit to the Qin Dynasty. It's just that there are so many roads that need to be built at once. Where can I find the money? " He was stuttering, and he felt anxious, and he even stuttering even more.

The King of Qin said indifferently: "Don't ask me about this, go and ask Mr. Zhou. Mr. Zhou did not pay a tael of silver in Daqin. Didn't he carry the road from Xianyang to Xinzheng? I believe that Mr. Zhou has a way."

He obviously gave up his promise, and Zhou Chong said confidently: "Your Majesty, Zhou Chong thought that the road construction matter could still be modeled as before and asked the people to pay for it.

However, this route is mainly for the convenience of military mobilization. If the military mobilization is not paid as before, I am afraid that the old people in the civilian land are not willing to pay for money.

"Oh, what do you think you should do?" The King of Qin also knew that the current road was different from the road from Xianyang to Xinzheng. It was a panacea. There was not so much oil and water on the road now, so it was not that easy to deal with.

Zhou Chong said bluntly: "Your Majesty, Zhou Chong wants the army to pass, but he still doesn't have to pay, but he can provide certain subsidies. In this way, he can compensate the old wealthy to a certain extent, and it will be much easier to ask them to pay."
