Because of Chen Longzheng's request, Xiao Ruxun decided to take Chen Longzheng and Yuan Yan to see Yuan Huang who is organizing the construction of the Dachi Road in Tongzhou.

Yuan Huang roughly classified the task of building the Dachi Road from the capital to Chenyang into two major stages. The first stage is the internal stage, which is the construction of the distance between Tongzhou and Shanhaiguan. It is underway. The stage outside the pass will not be considered for the time being. The pass is still in the handover of power and is still unstable.

Yuan Huang was very efficient in his work. Under this state, the Dachi Road had been built for more than 100 miles. He studied the historical materials of Qin Shihuang's construction of the Dachi Road and referred to the opinions of craftsmen from all walks of life before he made his own plan.

The Great Rail built by Qin Shihuang for fast-moving cars and horses was not simply flattened the ground, but laid with sleepers to set the strict width, forming a road similar to modern railways, but not iron but wood.

The distance between the sleepers was exactly the same as the horse's steps. Once the horse pulled the cart on the track, it involuntarily "self-incidence" occurred, and it had to run quickly and could hardly stop. This was exactly what Xiao Ruxun asked to build the Dachi Road.

Moreover, the road is not just a road. Within a specified distance, there will be a special "station". The station is managed by special personnel, responsible for providing accommodation and food to the team carrying materials, feed to the horses transported, and responsible for planting trees on both sides of the road.

More importantly, these stations are responsible for the maintenance of relevant roads and provide replacement horses, so that the materials transported are transported day and night in extreme cases, as long as possible in that era.

Due to the use of tracks, the friction force is greatly reduced, so horses can also pull a lot of goods at a time and even transport people.

Modern experts believe that this is the most efficient method of using horsepower, or it is an extremely efficient method. It is recognized that the speed should be at least 600 kilometers a day and overnight, while some people think that 700 kilometers.

This speed is faster than the legendary 800 miles of speed. No wonder Qin Shihuang could mobilize 500,000 Qin troops to Lingnan in that era and immigrate to one million to fill Lingnan, so that the land can be truly in his hands.

How can you do such a thing without being able to achieve great transportation capabilities?

The transportation of food and grass from a 500,000 army is unimaginable even if it is placed in the current Ming Dynasty.

In the Battle of Korea, the transportation of more than 40,000 Ming troops almost dragged down the logistics of the Ming government, which shows the vast difference between the Ming government's logistics capabilities and the Qin government.

Whenever he thought of this, Xiao Ruxun hated the incompetence of those dynasties and the Qin Dynasty could do, but it could not be done later. This is also the reason why Xiao Ruxun insisted on centralization and did not allow local governments to challenge the authority of the central government.

Only when the national government is strong can we have enough mobilization to accomplish major tasks. On the basis of clear goals, centralization is the best system.

Under such a system, Xiao Ruxun tried his best to promote various policies, no one dared to object, and everyone was doing things honestly. He did not dare to object to Xiao Ruxun's order to rebuild Chidao. He made every effort to run administrative machines, unified local disaster victims, and worked hard for a goal.

Yuan Huang is fighting for everyone, and his success can provide experience and confidence to other Dachidaoes.

That's right now. While building roads, planting trees, and setting up rules for setting up a station every 100 miles. Then, ordering the construction of straight roads next to the road, which is exclusively for large troops to walk. The army and the baggage team can move forward together during the march.

In this era when trains and railways cannot be produced, the roads and straight roads are already the limit they can achieve. Xiao Ruxun needs roads and straight roads, and needs faster and more convenient modes of transportation. Only in this way can many things be accomplished.

Yuan Huang also considered this. This matter was not only done by Xiao Ruxun to consolidate his rule, but more importantly, it was more beneficial to the country. Yuan Huang agreed with this concept, so he was willing to do his last part of his energy to complete the Great Road.

He didn't want to see Xiao Ruxun again, but Xiao Ruxun took Chen Longzheng and Yuan Yan to inspect the construction of Dachi Road, so he had to see him.

But he will definitely not do this when he meets such a thing.

All those who came to welcome Yuan Huang's deputy and a group of responsible persons, but even Yuan Huang did not come, Xiao Ruxun didn't find it strange. He inspected the construction site under the leadership of these people, looked at the construction process and the construction situation of the Chi Dao and the Straight Road, and felt very satisfied.

Xiao Ruxun could not find anything missing about Yuan Huang's work skills.

Perhaps Yuan Huang is also expressing his regrets in this way.

"Your Majesty, my father...he must have done it on purpose."

But Yuan Yan was worried about his father's behavior and was afraid that Xiao Ruxun would be unhappy.

Xiao Ruxun smiled bitterly and shook her head.

"Ruosi, don't worry, it's not that Mr. Yuan gave me a promise, Mr. Yuan didn't give me a promise."

After saying that, Xiao Ruxun didn't say much.

The group went to Chidao Office. Whether Yuan Huang came or not, they would always see each other.

Yuan Huang was working alone in his office and turned a blind eye to Xiao Ruxun's arrival. He refused to greet Xiao Ruxun when he arrived at the door of the office. Until Xiao Ruxun took Yuan Yan and Chen Long into his office, Yuan Huang was still writing quickly.

Yuan Yan and Chen Longzheng looked at each other, gave each other a wink, and then stepped forward and bowed together.

"My son (student) pays homage to his father (teacher)."

Yuan Huang paused the pen in his hand, and he moved again, never raising his head.

"If you don't do your own things well, why do you come to me to do? My father is normal, safe and stable. You don't need to put down your own things to visit me. Go back and do your own things well."

It sounds like Yuan Huang is educating his son and disciples, but to Xiao Ruxun, this may not be said to him.

He still never forgives himself.

Xiao Ruxun felt sad.

"After the father and son separated from him, he had been thinking about his father in his heart, so he came to visit him."

Yuan Yan said this, and Chen Longzheng also hurriedly said: "Yes, teacher, the students are busy with other things. Now they have time, so they come to visit the teacher."

"You are in a dilemma of loyalty and filial piety. You are all talented people. This talent should be focused on doing things for the country, rather than wasting on me, the old man, to do what you should do!"

Yuan Huang took a deep breath and slowly exhaled.

He knew that Xiao Ruxun had not left yet, and he also knew that Xiao Ruxun had something to say to him, but he did not want to have any contact with Xiao Ruxun.

In his opinion, this seemed to be completely unnecessary.

Since Xiao Ruxun decided to do something like that, he has become out of line with Yuan Huang's ideal.
