"How long will it take to go three thousand miles?"

This question is difficult to answer because there is uncertainty, not to mention ancient times, but modern times, such as different means of transportation and different ways of travel, the same distance may be very different for several days, and there is a natural difference between riding a horse and riding a car.

However, if you determine the travel method, you can roughly calculate the time to travel.

"How long will it take to go three thousand miles?"

Li Yun asked everyone again.

Recently, the weather has warmed up and the snow on the ground has melted. The construction of Bohai City has been restarted again. Looking around, there are scenes of people working hard, and women are eating pots of pulp. Children have also joined in to help adults do something within their ability.

Li Yun has been staying on the construction site these days and is always paying attention to the progress of the project. He is not worried that the project will be too slow, but is afraid that there will be dangers when the people work.

The city wall has been built one meter high, and wooden shelves need to be built up further up. There were no good protective measures in ancient times to build a city, and people would easily die if they were accidentally killed. However, the people were too enthusiastic about working, and they often regarded Li Yun's strict orders as a warning.

You're asking me to be careful?

OK, let's listen!

You asked us to tie a rope?

OK, isn't this tied up...

But when Li Yun walked away a little, the people threw away the safety rope in a blink of an eye, then climbed up and down without any protection, carrying wood to build shelves.

This may be the so-called habit of Chinese people. There are policies from the top and countermeasures from the bottom. Regardless of whether the policies are good or bad, the people like to do it in their own way.

So Li Yun had to take a lot of time to patrol back and forth on the construction site every day. As a prince, he had to work hard and run around, so naturally no one else could sit there. So whenever Li Yun inspected the project, he always followed a large group of people.

It is said that it is a large group of people, but they are all officials, and they are not young, so they started out as Duke.

For example, Yuchi Jingde.

For example, Qin Qiong.

Previously, the Goguryeo soldiers attacked. The two dukes rushed to help thousands of miles and cooperated with Li Yun's plan to fight to support Goguryeo. Originally, the two dukes should have returned to the court, but unexpectedly they received a letter from Chang'an.

The emperor wanted to bring civil and military officials to Bohai to watch the ceremony. Yuchi Jingde and Qin Qiong didn't have to go back to the court, otherwise they would have to come back again when the army returned. The army would consume twice as much food as it would.

So they chose to stay in Bohai and wait for the arrival of Li Shimin and the ministers of the Tang Dynasty.

In addition to Yuchi Jingde and Qin Qiong, there were other people who followed Li Yun, such as Cheng Yaojin and Liu Hongji. Behind them is the younger generation's echelon, among which Changsun Chong and Cheng Chumo are the best.

So many people patrolled the construction site, which was very magnificent, but they did not go through the motions, but were really looking for problems.

During inspections, he often helped with work, and even forgot to do the important things when doing work. For example, a wooden shelf was built too high just now, and the people were unable to carry the wood. As a result, Yuchi Laohei laughed and carried a huge tree and rubbed it up. In a blink of an eye, he climbed up the elevated road, standing three meters high and looking at himself.

The people below praised each other, and Yuchi Laohei became more and more arrogant, which made Cheng Yaojin and others jealous. Several older generations climbed up with a giant tree.

In a blink of an eye, there were three or four dukes and two or three princes on the wooden frame. The people working were full of excitement and built the wooden frame like a bunker.

Li Yun was so amused that he could only stand under the airs and remind him to be careful. He only led everyone to continue the inspection after the Dukes finished this work.

Their people were either princes or titles, or founding dukes granted by the Tang Dynasty. When they were inspecting, they talked about various government affairs, which gradually led to Li Shimin's out of seclusion.

"How long will it take to go three thousand miles?"

This is why Li Yun asked this.

His words were a little worried and his tone was a little anxious. Everyone present was so smart, how could he not hear what he meant?

But when Qin Qiong pondered for a while, he said, "Your Majesty is here to watch the ceremony, so he did not ride a horse. Your Majesty was riding the emperor's chasing and led all civil and military officials. Military generals could ride horses, but most civil officials were on cars. It is said that the convoy was extremely large, and countless merchants followed behind them. In addition, many people wanted to take the opportunity to migrate, and they had formed a huge team of tens of thousands of people..."

Cheng Yaojin next to him took over the conversation and said, "A huge team must not be calculated according to common sense. If it is just a military general riding a horse, he can gallop for four or five hundred miles a day. If it is to take care of civil officials, he can only walk at most two hundred miles a day, but the convoy also needs to take care of those caravans and the people. It is estimated that he can only travel more than a hundred miles a day."

Li Yun nodded and pondered: "Three thousand miles, one hundred miles a day, and Your Majesty has set off for twenty-one days, which means they have walked about two thousand one hundred miles."

Several dukes calculated and nodded, saying, "If nothing unexpected happens, this should be the case."

"What I'm afraid of is accident!"

Li Yun suddenly took a deep breath and said, "From Chang'an to the outside of the pass, it is difficult to travel all the way smoothly. There must be a lot of things on the road, and I feel very anxious..."

"Don't worry about this!"

Several dukes smiled and said with confidence: "The emperor's trip is a big deal. Your Majesty came here to watch the ceremony this time. There will inevitably be a large army to guide the way. Now that the Tang Dynasty has peace, you don't have to worry about what happens to Your Majesty."

This does make sense.

When the emperor traveled, there were army leading the way and he was still walking in his own country. If he could encounter danger, what a peaceful time would it be.

But Li Yun still frowned, as if the explanations of several dukes could not reassure him.

Lao Cheng and others looked at each other secretly, and couldn't help but ask curiously: "The king is full of worry. Could it be that there are other concerns?"

"right!"

Li Yun took a deep breath again and said in a deep voice: "What I am afraid of is not that someone dares to stop the convoy, what I am worried about is that there are problems with the convoy itself..."

These words made everyone stunned and said, "Why is this?"

Li Yun glanced at everyone and explained: "Your Majesty came out of the customs and tens of thousands of people followed. Some of the people wanted to sell goods, while others wanted to migrate. What kind of people would migrate? Only those who could not survive in poverty will be like this. The so-called migration is actually a beautification word. The real essence is that they cannot survive in poverty. It is not an exaggeration to say that they are leaving home to escape famine. Basically, it is a desolate poverty with no overnight food at home."

Everyone fell into silence and everyone heard the meaning of his last sentence clearly.

No overnight food at home!

Extremely poor!

In ancient times, people were relocated to the land and would not leave their hometown unless they had to. If they were not poor and destitute, who would have been displaced? From inside and outside the pass, this kind of migration itself was like fleeing famine.

What is the most lacking in famine escape?

food!

This is why Li Yun is worried.

When several dukes mentioned it, they immediately frowned. Instead, Changsun rushed over and said carefully: "The emperor inspected all directions, followed him without food. No matter where he went, he would have to provide for him. This time his Majesty came to the northeast from Chang'an. His journey was all the territory of our Tang Dynasty. The government offices in various places must supply supplies, so we don't need to worry about this."

"You were wrong!"

Li Yun shook his head and said in a deep voice: "The localities do have the responsibility to provide, but they can only provide His Majesty and the court officials. If they are allowed to provide tens of thousands of people, many places will probably have the will but not the strength."

“Yes, yes!”

At this time, Cheng Chumo hurriedly squeezed over and nodded, saying, "For example, if Your Majesty and the others arrived in Hebei, there would inevitably be big problems in the local supply. Although Hebei Road has been working hard to develop in the past two years, unfortunately the foundation of that place is too weak, and it can only guarantee that the local people will not starve to death, but they have no surplus grain to supply to migrant people."

"It's just that now is the time to stop the green and yellow!"

Li Yun let out a long sigh.

Everyone was infected by his emotions and gradually became worried.

Li Yun suddenly spoke again and asked in a deep voice: "Is there enough food here?"

Everyone was stunned by this. Changsun Chong hurriedly replied: "The food in the Bohai Sea is transported from abroad, and it can only last for three or four months. After three months, we have to transport grain, otherwise there will be problems here."

Li Yun frowned and said, "In other words, we can't draw out food."

Changsun Chong was speechless, but just nodded carefully.

Li Yun suddenly walked and said in a deep voice: "You go and tell Linglong and Cheng Chuxue, and let them prepare the chariots and horses for transporting grain. At the latest, we must set off to enter the pass..."

Everyone was stunned again and said, "Those cars and horses are empty."

"What I want is an empty car!"

At this time, Li Yun had already walked out more than ten steps. Hearing this, he turned to look at everyone, and said in a deep voice: "The empty car sets off, enter the pass directly, and then go to Fanyang City to purchase grain, and then go to pick up His Majesty after loading it."

As he said that, he stopped and said again: "At the latest it will be the evening, the convoy must set off."

Seeing him lifting his foot and leaving, Cheng Chumo couldn't help asking, "Master, where are you going?"

Li Yun walked in big strides, gradually getting faster and faster. Suddenly he ran south, and heard a gentle roar from afar, and told everyone: "I'll set out in advance and go to meet Your Majesty first. You don't have to chase after me, we are not on the same road."

Not the same road?

Is there any other way to get into the pass?

Everyone looked at each other!

Only Cheng Chumo's eyes lit up and he blurted out: "Master likes to walk on the water!"

After hearing what he said, everyone suddenly realized.

Li Yun has the giant turtle that can be called a double killer on water. Wherever he goes from the Northeast to the Central Plains, it is naturally the shortest way to pass through water.

The giant turtle has the ability to ride the wind and waves, and can swim for hundreds of miles in one day. If Li Yun rides the giant turtle across the strait, it only takes half a day to enter the Central Plains.

You can choose to land in Shandong or in Hebei or even go upstream directly from the mouth of the Yellow River. The waterway can be said to be unobstructed.

"Ride a turtle, cross the sea..."

Several dukes suddenly sighed softly, and said with emotion: "Ride the wind and waves and walk on the sea. At that time, I'm afraid he was the only one who could do this."

It sounds like a deed of a god.
