Chapter 680 Jinshan, Yinshan, Gushan

The journey from Yizhou to Chang'an is about 1,500 miles, and the most difficult part is the high mountains and ridges between the Qinling Mountains and Daba Mountains. In order to be able to pass through, people even spared no effort to build plank roads.

But even so, it will take about three months to traffic in Chang'an, and the most time-consuming part of this mountain road is this section of the mountain road.

It may take less than a few hours for people in later generations.

The poor Prime Minister Zhuge died of exhaustion in Wuzhangyuan even though he had not reached Chang'an for a lifetime... The time was long and short. After the Shu Road of the Great Zhou Dynasty was built, it took about a month to transport one stone of grain to Chang'an, and the consumption in the middle was about 20%. It was not very fast, but it was within the acceptance range.

And transporting from Chang'an to the Western Regions requires 20% of the food, which can generally be transported to the battlefield.

This result has made Chai Rong and Ye Hua overjoyed.

Chai Rong said excitedly: "Ye Qing, this Zhang Wei is a talent and can be used!"

With this comment, Zhang Wei's future is bright. To put it in the word, it is called Jian in the heart of the emperor, and the saint's family is in full swing. Promotion and wealth are just around the corner!

Unfortunately, Ye Hua is here, and he doesn't want Zhang Wei to live too comfortable.

"Your Majesty, since this person is a talent, you might as well let him continue to supervise the road to Liangzhou, and at the same time let him recruit military rations and supply military supplies!"

Chai Rong was stunned for a second. This was not an attitude towards talents. Ye Hua used Zhang Li as a cattle, horse and animal. It was all hard to build roads and collect military rations. Do you hate him for not being dead?

By the way!

When Zhang Wei impeached Queen Fu, this kid was not a good thing anyway, so it was useless... Chai Rong's unreasonable spirit also came and said with a smile: "Ye Qing's intention is exactly what I mean, just do that!"

...

"This is roughly the case. Lord Zhang, you must continue to work hard!" Ye Hua crossed his legs and smiled.

Zhang Wei kept his head down, and he knew very well that he was not working hard, but his life was suffering!

The surname Ye, you promised me that the Minister of Works will come. Now that Shu Road is open, we should not be too unreasonable in life. Ye Hua shrugged and smiled and said, "The deadline I give you is one year and ten months. It took you about one year and nine and a half months, half a month earlier than the reservation."

"That's right!" Zhang Wei straightened his back and said aloud: "I have credit, do what I say!"

What I mean is that Ye Hua is not trustworthy.

"That's right. Once the road is repaired, you must check whether it meets the standards, right!" Ye Hua said: "I think it needs to be trial operation, which is to transport a batch of grain from Yizhou to Chang'an. If there is no problem, even if the road is repaired, what?"

Zhang Wei was so angry that he didn't bully people like this!

In half a month, even if you use flying people, you will never be able to deliver the food. When the food is delivered, the agreed deadline will be exceeded... Everyone says Ye Hua is cunning, and it turns out that's true!

Zhang Qi reached out and pointed at Ye Hua, trembling all over and couldn't speak.

Ye Hua sneered slightly, and suddenly pulled out some of the documents at hand and threw them to Zhang Qi, "You can read it yourself!"

Zhang Wei opened it and had just read a few pages, and the cold sweat fell on his forehead.

When he saw one-third of the time, he trembled all over, not knowing whether he was afraid or angry!

"Marty, they are talking nonsense, they are wronged me! I am innocent, I deserve the mission of the court!" Zhang Shi was of course afraid. There were no less than a few hundred letters of memorials for impeachment alone. How many people could not make so many impeachment memorials in their lifetime? He alone, after more than a year of use, set an unprecedented record.

Ye Hua snorted, "I have been living in this for ten years and are not as good as you. I really admire you, I admire you!"

"Mr. Marquis!" Zhang Qi shook his head vigorously and said with aggrieved: "Mr. Marquis, look, those are all officials in Bashu who falsely accused the officials. I built roads in Bashu and gave land to the civilians who built the roads. These gentry and officials hated the officials, so they fabricated facts and framed the officials with fictitious things. Marquis, you must be aware of it! If you believe them, you really don't know who else is willing to do things for the court!"

Zhang Shi said, and whipped twice, and cried. It seemed that he was really aggrieved.

Ye Hua still smiled. He leaned over and whispered in Zhang Feng's ear: "Mr. Zhang, over the past year, your cousin's family has two thousand looms and 30,000 mulberry fields. It's really good to make money!"

"ah!"

Zhang Wei's face turned pale in an instant, and he hurriedly said, "Marty, I don't know about this, I really don't know about it! You have to believe me!"

Ye Hua waved his hand and said coldly: "Zhang Yu, if I don't believe you, I will send you to the yamen or the embroidered ward. Why bother to waste spit with you?"

Zhang Wei quickly bowed and said gratefully: "The Marquis really feels sorry for the Lord, and the Lord thanks the Lord."

Ye Hua didn't want to listen to New Year's greetings, "Zhang Wei, we are all people who have done things, and if we want to do things, we will inevitably offend people. Some people will exhaust all means to take revenge. It is not enough to just keep themselves clean, and family members and relatives must also be restrained. After all, those people are omnipresent. Do you understand what I said?"

"clear!"

Zhang Qi nodded vigorously and said, "Marty, the aristocratic families in Shu are mixed. They are called Jiang Qing, arrogant and domineering. There are also officials from Bashu. Although they surrendered to the Great Zhou, they are lazy and stupid. They know how to shirk away when they encounter problems and are greedy for ink. These are all chronic diseases of Shu. The officials thought they must be severely punished and not borrowed!"

"Hahaha!"

Ye Hua laughed, "That's right. I've suppressed the matter. I won't ask about the gossiping villains... As long as the food is transported to the northwest and the road leading to Liangzhou is renovated, you will do things beautifully, and the saint will naturally know it!"

...

After coming out of Ye Hua, Zhang Wei was surprised, happy and annoyed!

He was able to control himself and did not take any money that he shouldn't have to take, but he still got a mess. His cousin should be killed! Those aristocratic families are really hateful, and they actually put their ideas on him. If you have the ability, you come to me, why do you start with your relatives? You are really not a gentleman!

As the saying goes, you are unkind and I am unrighteous!

Don’t blame me for being ruthless, you found it yourself.

If you dare to impeach me, you will have to pay the price!

Zhang Wei was even more amazed. If Ye Hua knew, the emperor would definitely know.

I can’t hide my cousin’s affairs, can the actions of those aristocratic families be hidden?

It would be natural for me to do them.

Look, Butcher Zhang is here!

Zhang Shi was furious, and the officials of the aristocratic families in Shu were considered unlucky. After meeting evil stars, more than 40 officials were impeached in less than a month, and five were confiscated for obstructing equal land, hiding land, and raising slaves. Two of them were even charged with collusion with Tubo.

For a time, Bashu was in a panic, and everyone in the officialdom was in danger...

"Ye Qing, why haven't I heard that Mr. Zhang Qi is greedy for so much land? Could it be that the Embroidered Uniform Guard dares to hide it from me?" Chai Rong asked casually, holding the chubby Ye San in his arms, as if insignificant.

But anyone who knows the creatures like the emperor knows that the more he doesn't care, the more he is!

Okay, Ye Hua, I don’t know anything. You know, your power is greater than that of me? The embroidered envoy listens to you, but not me. Who is the emperor of the Great Zhou?

Ye Hua leaned over and said, "Your Majesty, I don't know if the embroidered envoy hides it."

"Oh? So, didn't you get the news from the embroidered messenger?" Chai Rong became even more angry, "Ye Qing, Ye Qing, you are so smart!"

Ye Hua hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, this matter does not require you to be well-informed, and I don't have that great ability."

"What's going on?" Chai Rong raised his tone, and even Xiao Ye San's eyes widened.

"Your Majesty, this matter is very simple, because then, I sent someone to send someone to cousin Zhang Shi!" Ye Hua said embarrassedly: "I have told you truthfully. Will Your Majesty punish me for framing the ministers?"

Chai Rong was stunned. Ye Hua, Ye Hua, you kid are too bad!

Zhang Wei was born and died and built a road for me, and his fingers and toes were worn out. Even if he had any problems, I would protect such a solid official.

You're fine, let's put a trap on him!

I am so unfair to Zhang!

However, in this way, Zhang Wei and the aristocratic families in Shu will definitely lead to a result.

"Your Majesty, I think that although Shu Road is built and the equalization of fields has been done, it is not a matter of one or two days for the people to recover their vitality. The large army is in urgent need of food, grass and military supplies, and cannot rely solely on the people..."

"So you have to rely on the aristocratic family!" Chai Rong turned into the Roaring Emperor in anger and roared: "You are called killing the rich and helping the poor. I am the Emperor of the Great Zhou, not the King of the Mountain! No!"

Ye Hua nodded quickly, "How could Your Majesty be the King of Mountain? This crime is taken on His Majesty's charge. When Zhang Wei finishes his work, he will recommend his official position. Even if he has resentment, he will spread it on me and has nothing to do with Your Majesty!"

"snort!"

Chai Rong said disdainfully: "I am not the one who shirks responsibility yet. Let's see how much food and military pay can Zhang Wei get? If he fails to fulfill his mission, I will do both of you!"

...

Well, Ye Hua's fate was actually tied to Zhang Wei's thoughts. The two became grasshoppers on the same line. Ye Hua could only pray that Zhang Wei would perform very well, so let's have some surprises!

It’s true that just one month after the Shu Road was built, the first batch of 50,000 stones of grain arrived in Chang'an.

Then all kinds of supplies were like they didn't need money... In fact, they didn't need much money, just paying for the travel expenses... First of all, the most famous well salt in Bashu, Zhang Wei sent 100,000 stones in one breath. This thing is not food, so why are you doing so much?

Ye Hua could only use excess salt to exchange cattle, sheep, livestock, and even buy slaves.

Then there were Shu brocade, tung oil, and even pig bristles... all kinds of supplies arrived in Chang'an.

Chai Rong had to set a ten-mile-long piece of open land to serve as a warehouse to hoard supplies.

Almost at the same time, the weapons and food transported from Kaifeng were also in place. Chang'an has gold, silver and valley mountains!

With strong soldiers and strong horses, everything is ready!
