Chapter 239: Toil

"Princess, are you looking for me?" Pang Tong picks up the curtain and enters the handsome tent. He is seeing Liu Bei and Jian Yong eating gudging soup.
The situation has been good for Liu Beijun recently. Although Shangyong, Xixian, and Fangling did not clearly indicate that they wanted to turn to Liu Bei, they did not refuse it. They were also very polite to Liu Bei ’s messengers. .
"Well, Wen Chang has successfully occupied Yangpingguan with the help of Yang Song." Liu Bei nodded.
"In this way, Shangyong, Fangling, and Xixian are also available!" Pang Tongwen said with a smile, which is a good thing. Yangpingguan is the throat of Hanzhong, which is now easily obtained by Liu Beijun, which is equivalent to breaking off Zhang Lu's Foreign aid, even if it is impossible to persuade Yang Ang to surrender, as long as Yang Pingguan is in his own hands, Yang Ang will not be easy to attack. Yangping Guan is not Mianyang.
"Well, Wen Chang sent a letter and wanted Bo Yuan to go to Yangpingguan to help him consolidate the city defense." Liu Bei smiled and said: "Bo Yuan is still building the plank road recently?"
"Well, the three hundred miles of plank road, but Bo Yuan has invested a lot of money this time, and hired three thousand people to dig a mountain road with him. I went to see it yesterday, and the plank road is quite spacious and can accommodate two cars. In parallel, if it can be repaired, it will only take ten days to transport the grain and grass to and from Hanzhong this road! "Pang Tong nodded and exclaimed a little.
Liu Yi came back from Guan Ping and spent a day in the military barracks, and asked Liu Bei to resign to repair the plank road. In fact, Wei Yan hadn't been able to win the Yangping customs at the time. Liu Yi repaired the plank road at this time. , It was equivalent to making free for Zhang Lu, but Liu Yi still insisted on repairing the road between Han Mengguan and Hanzhong, apparently already treating Hanzhong as his own site.
"But it costs a lot!" Liu Bei said with a bitter smile. Liu Yi directly took him 10 million yuan to repair the road. If he knew Liu Yi's ability and supernatural powers, Liu Bei really suspected that Liu Yi took this The money was embezzled. The money that Liu Zhang had just sent over was not taken over by him, but was taken away by Liu Yi. Even Liu Bei, Liu Yi's spending money on him made him feel bad.
What's more, Liu Bei had a long talk with Liu Yi before, in order to be able to send troops from Shuzhong to Guanzhong in the future, Liu Yi also planned to repair two more plank roads to ensure that the army march unimpeded, and to build two checkpoints, conservatively estimated, it will also be 5,000 Ten thousand money. In addition, Hanzhong has water and water, which can vigorously develop water conservancy. Liu Yi is planning to raise the livelihood of Hanzhong when Liu Bei attacks Yizhou.
The money in Zhang Lu's treasury, Liu Yi has almost arranged now, except for the award of the soldiers, all other things in Liu Yi's plan are to be used for construction, as for Liu Bei ... inexplicably gave birth to a share Unspeakable sadness, even if he won Hanzhong, it is estimated to be the poorest monarch in the world.
"In Bo Yuan's words, this is called investment. The road is clear. Why don't you worry about wealth? The people's livelihood is up. Why don't you worry about money? The protagonist, these money, can't save, Bo Yuan is so eager, but also hopes that the hero can enhance his memory "Pang Tong shook his head and smiled:" Previously in Jingzhou, it was quite restrictive, and Bo Yuan was not good at flexing his fists. Now in Hanzhong, I can wait for him to take full control, so Yi Boyuan will be so active. "
Liu Bei nodded bitterly. He didn't know the truth. It was just that Liu Yi spent too much money. When he was in the police, someone secretly posted to Liu Bei.
Not counting the money for the construction of Yueyang City, the cost of constructing temples in various counties alone is more than 30 million. As for Yueyang City, although Liu Bei ’s investment was only 15 million yuan in the initial period, Changsha ’s Taxes plus the income from fishing villages have exceeded 100 million.
Of course, that person was talking about Liu Yi ’s bad words, only the wear and tear, not the gain. In fact, when Liu Bei entered Yizhou, the statistics show that the statistics of the four counties in Jingnan plus generals within a year An increase of nearly one hundred thousand, and the fact that Changsha ’s taxation has proved to be not in vain, after the restoration of taxation, the tax collected by Changsha is almost equal to the sum of the three counties of Guiyang, Lingling and Wuling.
This kind of long-term benefits is difficult to see results in the short term, and it is precisely because of the long-term benefits that Liu Bei has never refused Liu Yi ’s requests for money. Of course, Liu Yi will not say Liu Bei Requirements beyond affordability.
In short, unlike Pang Tong and Zhuge Liang, who focus on the world, Liu Yi always considers how to continuously consolidate existing resources and foundations, and improve the overall strength and foundation of Liu Bei from the economic and people's livelihood. The mainstream of the world is different, but in fact, regardless of Cao Cao, Sun Quan or Liu Bei, they have been aware of the decay of all industries in the world because of the war, and they have begun to pay more or less attention to the issue of people's livelihood. At that time, although he did not listen to the false accusations and removed Liu Yi, he still had to make some compromises with Jingzhou scholars on many interests.
This is also a fundamental reason why Pang Tong said that Liu Yi could not let go of his hands and feet. Every time Liu Yi made some achievements, there were always people who wanted to be deprived. Some people even suggested that Liu Bei detain Liu Yi's family.
After all, Liu Yi still has not been fully accepted by the gentry class, and now he is in Shu. It is also a great opportunity for Liu Yi. Liu Bei sent Liu Yi to the army several times, and also hoped that Liu Yi could make more merits and promote Liu in the future. The prince Yi can also change his name.
In fact, from several past experiences, Liu Yi's own strategy of war may not be outstanding, but as long as he is equipped with enough talents around him, Liu Yi does have a unique ability. The most important thing is that Liu Yi Never greedy for power, often after the battle is over, then hand over the military power, and impatiently discuss with Liu Bei how to use the results together.
He puts more emphasis on construction than rights, but because of this, Liu Bei is quite at the same time trusted by Liu Bei, and even gave birth to the idea of ​​marrying A Dou and Liu Yi's daughter, but both have the surname Liu, the same surname Not marrying was a taboo in the Han Dynasty, and this idea was only thought about in the end.
"Look ... can Bo Yuan be firm on both sides?" Liu Bei asked.
Although building roads is important, it is equally important to strengthen the defense of Yangping Pass. Even now, Yangping Pass is more important than road building.
"I'm afraid not." Pang Tong shook his head and said: "I've seen Bo Yuan's design. The structure of the plank road is quite complicated, including the position of the corner bracket, how to place it, not only the craftsmanship, but also the attainments of the mathematical skills Quite high, Bo Yuan has been intensively studying mathematics in recent years, and has been commended by Kong Ming and Zhou Ping. He is also quite talented in this regard, only to have the attainments today, if others, it is difficult to carry out. "
Aside from the side, Jian Yong suddenly said, "Why not invite someone who is proficient in math to command Bo Yuan for the visit of Yang Pingguan? The repair of the plank road requires a lot of mathematics, but if the defense of Yangping Pass is strengthened, It wo n’t take long?

After all, Liu Yi had not been on the construction site for a month or two when he was in Yueyang, but there is a precedent for building a city as slowly as possible, as long as there is money.
"Who can replace Bo Yuan?" Liu Beixiao asked, saying so, but looking at Pang Tong.
Jian Yong looked at Pang Tong with a smile.
Uh……
Faced with the eyes of the two, Pang Tong was speechless, as if he had given himself to the pit, but Liu Yi ’s new digital symbols and many measurement methods were quite novel. Pang Tong also wanted to see in depth, but nodded: "Since this is the case, it will go on for a few days."
This meal is not easy.
After the three men had enough food and drink, Pang Tong got up and went to Liu Yi to discuss the matter with Liu Yi. As for Nanzheng, in the short term, it was mainly to restrict Nanzheng ’s military strength. I will go to Zhang Lu ’s troubles, but Zhang Lu if he dares to send troops and fight in the field. Liu Beike is not at all awkward. The eight thousand people Liu Zhang added to Liu Bei have now arrived at the Jiameng Pass, and they can arrive soon. The strength will grow again.
...
"Yangpingguan?" Liu Yi frowned and said to Pang Tong: "This is not something you can do as long as you have money."
The stability of the plank road can not only require attributes. If there is not enough foundation, the attributes are added in vain. Besides, there are places where bridges need to be built to save a lot of roads. This is even more technical and requires him to sit in the town.
"It only takes a few days to go to Yangpingguan. You only need to design the drawings and let the craftsmen do it. There is no need for you to stay and press. The drawings of Yangpingguan have been brought to you. As for the things here, I will come Help you for a few days. "Pang Tong looked at Liu Bei and smiled.
"How much money did the protagonist prepare to strengthen the Yangping Pass? Can the materials be prepared?" Liu Yi asked ~ EbookFREE.me ~ Bo Yuan is assured that Yangping Pass is originally a strong city, and only needs to build a military camp for him The soldiers can be restored and some fortification equipment can be rebuilt. Pang Tong smiled.
In Pang Tong ’s words, Liu Yi was at ease. His attainments in mathematics, even if he had been studying hard for the past two years, Liu Yi could not compare himself to people like Pang Tong.
As for Yangping Guancheng defense, it is basically a routine, and it is not difficult. Not to mention designing and paying money, even if you do it yourself, it will not take much time.
"Since that is the case, then start now!" Liu Yi nodded.
"So fast?" Pang Tong looked at Liu Yi unexpectedly.
"Well, I can't wait to see that the boardwalk is completed." Liu Yi nodded. This was the first time he seriously designed and repaired a road. Liu Yi was very looking forward to the properties after the completion. If feasible, wait for Liu Bei to take the entire Sichuan-Shu land and engage in road repair projects in the future, even if it cannot be as smooth as the Central Plains, but at least it can make the Shu Road not as difficult as it will be. Will become their shortcomings.
