Ten days passed by quickly. When people used all their enthusiasm to work, the power burst out was beyond imagination. For the first time, Huo Gang could understand why there were so many amazing construction achievements in the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China.

The power of human beings is really endless. Each person counts the workload of cleaning floating soil and tamping the road. A person can roughly organize a two-meter-long road surface on average in a day, and 27,000 people. If it is not for insufficient tools, he can push the tamping of more than 40 kilometers of road surface in one day.

However, because the tools and large rocks used to compact them were not enough, Annuo and the others immediately made adjustments and divided a considerable number of people to start planting trees directly.

With the spiritual spring water, there is almost no need to consider whether the saplings can survive. Three rows of maple trees are planted on each side about 5 meters away from both sides of the road, and each row of trees is spaced about 5 meters apart. The three rows are staggered. In this way, if these trees survive, they can continue to extend on both sides in the future to form windbreaks on both sides of the road, and these trees can also be used as wood in the future.

Of course, their most important function is to stabilize the water and soil. People of this era do not understand it, but Huo Gang understood very well that if all the trees in these rows of trees survived, and if all the places in the Tianshan Mountains and Qilian Mountains became green areas, then even without the spirit of the Yumen, the precipitation here would not be reduced much every year.

The environment here will never become like that of later generations.

Although the amount of concrete was not large and could not keep up, five thousand people were left among these people to continue to consolidate the road surface, while the remaining people began to transport sand and gravel materials and plant trees along with the road.

In addition to the approximately 40 kilometers of road between Yangguan and Industrial City, the 70-kilometer road between Yangguan and Yumenguan is almost always moving along the stream, so the half-planting of trees behind is much simpler.

In just ten days, the road between Yangguan and Industrial City has been directly cleaned and consolidated. When Huo Gang went to Yumen Pass, he had already seen these flat roads. Even in the section close to Industrial City, the cushion formed by slag, gravel and some mixture of fired cement waste has been paved for several thousand meters.

Huo Gang felt the power of the people for the first time.

When I arrived at Yumen Pass, it was relatively quiet, but the surrounding area of ​​Yumen Pass had completely changed. In addition to the still dilapidated walls of Yumen Pass, the surrounding area was covered with green.

All the places outside Yumen Pass are changing, but there is not much change inside the pass. There are still neat felt tents arranged there. All the craftsmen have already gone to the Industrial City to work. A considerable number of the people left here have joined the sowing ranks, but Huo Gang, the family of these craftsmen, did not allocate land to them.

It’s not that Huo Gang did not treat everyone equally, but that as these thousand craftsmen quickly began to devote themselves to Huo Gang’s territory construction. When they adapt to these jobs, their salaries would inevitably rise, and their families allocated land and did not have time to farm.

So now they join the ranks of farming, and they are more like those laborers, Huo Gang is in charge of food and they work.

When Li Yi rushed over, he saw this scene. On both sides of the river I saw before, the fields had been neatly divided. Judging from the flat land inside, part of the sowing had been completed.

And these have not started when they last came.

The appearance here is really changing every time. There is not much change except for the Yumen Pass in front of you. Every time you come here, Li Yi feels like a trance, because he feels that it seems that at Yumen Pass, all these changes are too fast.

It always feels like their time is moving faster. In fact, it has been almost a month since he and Huo Gang last negotiated books, and their Longxi Li family has not even sent the first printed book.

Because they had just completed negotiations with the entire Li Family Ninth House of Longxi and had not yet begun to contact other prominent families.

Li Yi originally felt that he was busy enough, but for some reason, after coming here, he always felt that his efficiency was too slow.

However, as this batch of war horses traded between the two families ended, there were already 1,000! The pack horses sent by Li from Longxi were 1,55 white, and the remaining 500 war horses have been turned into food and other supplies and sent here.

The goods they received were only 35,000 guan, but even if the goods sent here by the Li family in Longxi were not counted as 1,000 guan, and their families, the other supplies alone had already reached nearly 100,000 guan!

Huo Gang naturally knew this, and even Huo Gang was a little impressed. The Li family in Longxi was really brave, and An Xinggui didn't make any noise. You should know that the Li family in Longxi now has carriages that leave Dunhuang County in the Tang Dynasty almost every day, and then drive towards Huo Gang's Yumen Pass, and then there are also carriages that drive into Dunhuang County every day.

According to Wu Ping's report, carpenters who can build carriages in Liangzhou have been building carriages crazily for more than two months, and even so, there is a shortage of supply.

It can only be said that these wealthy families really dare to gamble when they see the benefits.

Of course, maybe it can only be said that 100,000 guan is nothing to the entire Li family in Longxi. After all, they also received 35,000 guan of goods, right?

"Chief, don't be fine." When he saw Huo Gang, Li Yi bowed to Huo Gang and said with a smile.

"Li Lang is fine, right?" Huo Gang also bowed with a smile, "Please sit down. This time I invite Li Lang to come, there is still a new business to negotiate."

"Oh? I don't know what new business the leader has?" Li Yi immediately sat upright.

He was used to Huo Gang's conversation, and went straight to the point, without much greetings and politeness. Maybe this is why they developed so quickly here, because no one did anything useless from top to bottom.

Huo Gang didn't say anything, but smiled and took out two pieces of cloth from the side and handed it over, a piece of linen and a piece of ordinary silk. Even these two pieces were not produced by Huo Gang, but were fabrics sent by Li's family in Longxi before.

"Does the general want to buy more fabric?" Li Yi took the two pieces of cloth and asked in confusion.

If he just needed fabric, he would just tell Zheng Ning directly. There was no need to invite him to come, because Zheng Ning could make the decision on this business.

"No, I want to sell it." Huo Gang said lightly.

"Puff..." Li Yi almost choked by his saliva. He raised his head and looked at Huo Gang in a daze: "Chief, aren't you kidding?"

"Of course not." Huo Gang said with a smile.

Li Yi was a little amused and laughed. If Huo Gang was not the leader of the entire Han Dynasty, had thousands of elite troops under his command and had a population of more than hundreds of thousands, Li Yi would like to say, "Stop making trouble, let's not talk about anything else, just talk about your place... Do you have enough silk and hemp?"

Not to mention silk, you don’t even have mulberry trees for raising silkworms. You said you want to sell cloth and silk? Aren’t you teasing me?

But he looked at Huo Gang a few times and found that although Huo Gang had a smile on his face, he didn't look like he was joking.

"Chief, you're not kidding, then, I want to hear the leader's opinions." Li Yi calmed down his emotions and asked curiously.

"It's very simple. As long as you can send enough silk and hemp, I can sell it to your Li family for 100 yuan per piece of silk. As for how much you sell, I don't care." Huo Gang said with a smile.

"How many?" Li Yi's eyes suddenly widened, and even his breathing became heavy.

In the entire Tang Dynasty, silk and cloth business was definitely a very important business, with food, clothing, housing and transportation, ranking first.

"100 text per piece!" Huo Gang stretched out a finger.

"Really?!" Li Yi repeated.

"Really! More real than real gold." Huo Gang said firmly.

"This... leader, have you counted the shipping costs for us to transport silk and hemp here? Shipping silk from Guanzhong, even more distant places such as Jiangsu and Zhejiang, will be at least doubled or even doubled."

"Well, 100 liters per piece." Huo Gang said lightly.

At this moment, Li Yi could not guarantee calmness! The cost of silk doubled, and he could even sell it at a price of 100 yuan per piece?! So how much is their cost? Wouldn't it be terrible? Li Yi naturally wouldn't think that Huo Gang had no profit at this price! The other party must have profit! This means the other party's cost... Li Yi dare not think about this number.

"This business can be done, but it makes the leader know that at present... our transportation capacity is basically about to reach its limit." Li Yi quickly calmed down and pondered for a while before Li Yi spoke seriously.

"There is no limit in this world, just expand it. You, the Li family in Longxi, cannot do it. You can give this business to other five surnames and Qiwang, and even other families in Liangzhou. In addition to the An family, as long as there is profit, the transportation convoy will be as much as possible?" Huo Gang said calmly.

In fact, is there any benefit to the Tang Dynasty in the crazy increase in transportation volume here in Huo Gang? Of course there is! If more and more materials are transported between Guanzhong and Liangzhou, and if the carriages on the road are as continuous as trucks from later generations, how much economy can be driven on both sides of the official road?

You should know that these people need to eat and drink water, and once these people continue to go back and forth, the economy they drive alone is enough for Li Er to support tens of thousands of soldiers here, and these tens of thousands of soldiers can immediately stabilize the situation in Liangzhou. Business can never be unilaterally, and one-sided business cannot last long.
