Power and Empire Chapter 3177: Toggle

Golden leaves covered the ground and window sills overnight, and the atmosphere of winter became clearer and clearer. Early in the morning, Fatty immediately stood on a high slope. Below the slope, a long belt-like road went from far away. Stretching from everywhere, the fat man raised his head and saw a group of geese heading south passing through the vast wilderness and rolling mountains and hills. The river was vast and rushed to the far horizon.

"If your Majesty follows this road, you can really reach the Imperial Capital Dahaicheng within two months?" An official from the Imperial Academy of Engineering pointed to the road ahead and reported to the emperor with satisfaction, the emperor's brow It's not easy to be noticed. How can you say such a secret thing casually?

But it’s too late, Yelu Qiye, who is next to you, covered her mouth with a surprised look. She had been to the Western Continent. At the beginning, she went to Lisbon Too because she was not familiar with the road. It took more than three months on the road. Arrived, so I have a better understanding of what this road means. As the empire expands to a considerable extent in the Central Bialand area, this road is completely under the control of the empire, and the caravans from the empire will be far away unimpeded. Continually flooding into the Central and Bahia region,

"In other words, the time for the caravan from the Imperial Capital area to reach the mainland of the empire should be compressed to about one and a half months, and a round trip is three months, does that mean?" The black straight hair down like a waterfall That little face is lovely, and Yelu Qiyeguang’s tall eyebrows are tightly frowned

"His Royal Highness Qi Yeguang is right. If everything goes well, it will indeed take a month and a half for the caravan from the mainland to arrive in the Imperial Capital area." The Imperial Academy of Engineering officials replied, hearing the affirmation of the Imperial Engineering officials, Yelu Qi Luminous eyes brightened, and his pretty face was amazed. "My God, for a month and a half, it is the caravan's speed. If it is riding a horse, isn't it faster?" The caravan's speed is definitely not as fast as riding a horse. If the caravan is two months. , Then riding a horse should be a month and a half, and Yelu Qiyeguang is a prairie, so he is more interested in the time when riding a horse.

"This, it should be so!"

Sweat has been shown on the foreheads of the officials of the Imperial Academy of Engineering. As an imperial engineering official, he has a deeper understanding of the meaning of the road in the empire. He also noticed that he had missed his mouth. He subconsciously glanced at the emperor and found that the emperor’s expression was cold, the official The secret call is over, why I forgot that roads in the empire are not only used for business, to a certain extent, the rule of the empire is connected by these roads

These are not roads, but the rule of the empire. Just like the road in front of us, the journey from Dahai City, the core of the empire to the Imperial Capital of Central Biya, is compressed to two months, that is, the cavalry cluster of the empire goes from Dahai City. Starting from the aspect, it can traverse a range of two thousand miles in one and a half months, and drive from the Western Continent to Central Bialand. Although the speed of the infantry is slower, the Empire has plenty of horses to transport, and even caravans are rented for transport during the war. According to the convention of the convoy, it can be said that the connection of this road is what truly allows the Dijing West Road area to be included in the empire’s rule area. Once there is war on the Dijing West Road, the empire can simultaneously mobilize troops from the north of Onna Co and the north of Gangfei. It is not a joke to mobilize 300,000 empire forces within two months to match the original garrison on the Dijing West Road. The road of the empire is the most important strategic layout. The strategic layout of the chess game is based on the earth. Such important secrets have been taken by oneself. Just said it casually. . . . . . .

Fortunately, Yelu Qiyeguang didn’t notice this. She was still in shock at this road. She curiously looked at the road in front of her, which was entirely composed of large stones, and there was a layer of black on it. The clean surface looks flat and spacious. It is wide enough for eight carriages to come and go in parallel. It is like a long belt lying on the ground. It looks like the most suitable road for carriages.

On such a road, the caravan should be able to move smoothly! Yelu Qiyeguang is slightly stunned. This road is more than 2,000 miles long and extends to the core of the imperial rule. Even Yelu Qiyeguang feels the hugeness of it. It is really an amazing project and I dare not think about it. Looking at the whole world, I am afraid that the empire has such human and financial resources

The empire’s enthusiasm for prisoners of war to build roads has been regarded as a joke by other forces. Some people even call the emperor of the Falcon Empire a road-building madman. The role of roads is not valued by all monarchs in this era. Road construction not only requires a large investment of human and financial resources, but also cannot see the effect in the short term.

"Rather than having the financial resources to build roads, it would be more cost-effective to use that financial resources to buy weapons and weapons." This point, Yelu Qiyeguang also agrees, but now it is a little shaken, how huge it means to build such a road How many manpower and horses are involved in the investment of financial resources, the imperial emperor has put so much effort, is it only for the sake of goodness?

In order to advance northward, Yelu Qiyeguang also proposed to restore the two major commercial roads that were built by the Chinese and Biya people to the north of the imperial capital. Both of them required too much financial and human investment, so that the interior of the palace was covered. The voices of opposition did not give up in the end, and now that the empire has built such a road, I am afraid that I dare not think about it.

Yelü Qiyeguang gently stirred the ruby-inlaid riding whip with her fingers, and asked with a grim look, "This lord, it is unimaginable that the empire has spent so much to build this road. I don’t know if I can tell you something."

"This road..."The Imperial Academy of Engineering officials have noticed their own omissions and looked at a loss. The fat man smiled on his lips and answered on behalf of the official." This road started with the imperial conquest of the imperial wilderness. The construction, as the empire's power in the Central and Biya area extended, and finally completed the connection with the northern part of the empire. The steppe and wilderness people in the wilderness area and the northwest region were used before and after, a total of more than 600,000 people, and the construction took a long time. It took four months to mobilize and transport nearly one million horses, costing 21 million of the imperial capital. With this road, the commercial trade between the imperial and China and Bahia should be increased by at least 10%."

"Twenty million... Are you sure!" Yelu Qiyeguang took a breath of air, her tongue curled up with fright

"Only more and a lot!" The fat man had a deep gaze, and the corner of his mouth showed a smirk that made Yelu Qiyeguang mad, decisively expressing that this woman's attention must be attracted,

"Building a road with 20 million gold!" Yelu Qiyeguang's heart has exploded. She doesn't know how much the empire has gained from Sino-Byanian commerce, but think about the past few years, only the Yelu family has been expanding its army wildly. In the Southern and Northern Wars, at least 200,000 weapons and weapons purchased from the Empire, and a large number of incalculable materials, cost ten million, not to mention the Southwest Dragon Family and the Southern Song Clan. , Zhongbia Court, the various parts of the northern grassland. . . . . . The percentage in the mouth of the dead fat man, I am afraid that it will cost more than two million. Where is the road, it is simply the golden avenue. Thinking about my embarrassment, Yelu Qiyeguang feels like I want to cry, and my fingers are clenched violently

This time, the northward advance has exhausted the Yelü family’s inventory for several years, and finally took the leash of the belt. It was regarded as a loan of 1.5 million gold from the Imperial Bank with 80% of the Dongbo royal family’s wealth and half of the gold mine. , I immediately found out that it was really not worth mentioning the financial resources that the emperor had at his disposal. To build a road, the emperor dropped 20 million gold at will. The emperor’s so-called 10% was enough to make his little Yelu family cry dizzy. In the latrine

Today’s winter is afraid it will be very cold, and even the time will be greatly extended. Last night, the warning given by the emperor made it difficult for her to calm down. The cold winter made the battle of Dongbo more difficult. If the emperor's words come true, the battle of Dongbo The difficulty will be greatly increased. Dongbo’s winter cruelty is not under the northern grassland. Now, with the number of 20 million echoing in her mind, the beauty of Yelu is entangled with the emperor without thinking, and she has a distressed face and she proposes to return. Emperor "Your Majesty, the army has just returned, and winter is approaching, the royal court still needs to prepare for the winter season. This is the first year that the Yelv family has established the royal court. Whether it can be handled well is related to whether the Yelu royal court can be recognized by the various ministries." /

"Whether you go back, take me to say hello to Yelu Hongtai"

The fat man nodded his head, Yelu Qiyeguang turned around and rode his horse with the twenty King Yelu behind him. When the beautiful shadow of Yelu Qiyeguang disappeared on the road in the distance, the fat man turned around and looked. Glancing at the pale-faced official of the Academy of Engineering, he said coldly, "For the sake of your four consecutive months of supervising the work, you go to the Supervision Department to collect your punishment, and you can arrive in Dahaicheng within two months. Don't say it again. From now on, I keep saying that it will take four months, do you understand?"

"Yes, I understand!" If an official of the Academy of Engineering received an amnesty, he would go to the Supervision Department to receive punishment. After the investigation was no suspicion, he would often be released. It is better than being taken away by the Military Ministry

The fat man returned to the mansion on Dijing West Road. Before he reached the door, he saw Li Yuehua waiting at the door, with a surprised look on his face stopping the horse,

"Your Majesty!"

Li Yuehua came to face her in a Zhongbia palace costume, showing a majestic elegance. The slender waist is a narrow silver-white girdle, and from the waist down is a long skirt of mulberry silk, which is as smooth as flowing water. The hem of the skirt extends all the way to the ankle. With her light and graceful steps, the hem of the lower body is like a bay of spring water moving,

The demeanor of the high gate family in China and Biya is fully demonstrated

After a whole night of bloodbath, he has cleared away the Central and Bianist forces that blocked him at the beginning. Li Yuehua is now fully integrating the remaining Central and Bianlian forces. Therefore, such a traditional family dress can gain the favor of those remaining families. In fact, this is also true. After seeing Li Yuehua’s dressing up as a woman from the family’s family, the rest of the restless families who were anxious, all quieted down invisibly,

The Murder King Lu Yangyu was sent to the south, and now Li Yuehua is in charge of the Dijing West Road. Since even Li Yuehua is dressed like this, it is enough to explain Li Yuehua’s good intentions towards the family. It stands to reason that Li Yuehua should be busy at this moment. I don’t know how many Chinese families are waiting to see each other. In just a few days, those people still have something to do with Li Yuehua. Aristocratic families of Weizhi have fallen to Li Yuehua’s camp. The families of the Dijing West Road area are already Li Yuehua’s followers. Li Yuehua has also begun to carry out drastic reforms on the Dijing West Road, lifting most of the family’s privileges, and beginning to fully implement the imperial decree. /

"The south sent a message urgently. Lu Yangyu may be trapped. According to the news from the south, Luzhou was lost, causing the Luzhou army to complain. The main counterattack was immediately lost, and other armies did not dare to continue to approach Luzhou. It seems that China and Bahia are in close talks with the Adenites, suggesting that as long as the Adenites do not attack Xinjing, they will not prevent the Adenites from attacking our Imperial West Road to the north. They even said that in order to show their sincerity, they can send the imperial envoy Lu Yangyu. To the Kingdom of Aden"

Following the emperor and walking into the office, he took out a secret letter from his arms and handed it to the emperor, saying, under the emperor’s surprised and slightly hot gaze, Li Yuehua blushed rarely. It’s really **** it. I forgot to change my clothes because of the urgency. I don’t know how many years the family’s clothes have not been worn. If it is not for showing kindness to the family, I’m afraid they won’t wear it.

The clothing of the Zhongbian family has always been clear and elegant, and women’s skirts are even more so. Under the white sand skirt, two slender and smooth long legs are faintly visible in the long skirt. This long skirt holds the body The package is tightly packed, but it embodies the beauty of female curves everywhere. With her elegant and dignified behavior, the slender figure is taller, and the pair of girls wrapped in long skirts is visually more long. ~IndoMTL.com~ This pair of ** is so beautiful that Fatty couldn't help but swallowed his saliva. Fatty took a look at the secret letter. The handwriting was scribbled. It seems that it was written hastily. Lu Yangyu was trapped and received the news. The main reason was that the Chinese and Biya court officials had been arguing whether to seek refuge in the Imperial Bank or to look at the situation. In order to avoid private discussions among some ministers, the Chinese and Biya court minister, Yu Fenglong, put Lu Yangyu under house arrest altogether, but It’s the first time I heard that China and Bahrain had a close conversation with the Aden people

"The subordinates believe that the secret talks between the Zhongbia court and the Aden people are very important, and they must find a way to verify it." Li Yuehua said with a cold face, "I want to confirm that the Zhongbia court and the Aden people The fastest and easiest way to make the secret talk is true or false is to recall Lu Yangyu. If the Zhongbia court releases the secret talk, it proves that the secret talk is false. If the secret talk is forcibly detained, it proves that the secret talk is true."

The fat man swept over with sharp eyes and took a deep glance at Li Yuehua. "Your suggestion is good, but it does not affect the overall situation. Lu Yangyu has a heavy responsibility, so it is a pity to retreat, in fact, regardless of the Zhongbia court. Is it because the people of Aden talk in secret, we only need to let the people of Aden move toward the new capital of China, Biya, and Beijing

"What does your majesty mean?" Hearing the emperor's words, Li Yuehua didn't know why he felt cold. Did the emperor take the initiative?

"The order went on, and the army drove into the river again. This time not only the troops on the west road of Emperor Jing, but also the 80,000 iron cavalry of the Empire." There was a sneer at the corner of the fat man's mouth. Entering the trash basket, he said in a cold voice, "There are two diverging streams in front of a boat. I don’t know if the boat will go left or right, but if you want the boat to flow according to your own wishes, the best way is to stretch out. A hand touched it, and the Chinese and Biya court wanted to please the people of Aden, and first thought about whether it could withstand the empire’s 80,000 iron horses"rw
