In the afternoon of the same day, Li Yunlong, who came back with everyone to collect herbs, carried several baskets of herbs back to the station.

"Monkey, help me pull my boots!" Xu Hu shouted at the monk with a twisted face, and the others were all like this.

Li Yunlong barefoot and suddenly knocked his rain boots on the threshold, and large pieces of soil fell down.

If it were placed in later generations, such a scene would never be visible. Unless you go far to the deep mountains and rural areas, you would never have been covered with so much soil on your shoes.

"I picked two kilograms of herbs, and my shoes were covered with two kilograms of mud. If I had to carry 50 kilograms on one rainy day, I'm afraid we would have to have 60 or 70 kilograms when we came back!"

The monk complained while helping Xu Hu pull the rain boots.

Liu San, who was standing beside him, shook the soil in his hand and echoed: "Not!"

"It's fine if it's covered with soil. If we encounter such a situation while performing a mission, our feet will slip, and the speed of the march will definitely be greatly reduced."

Zhou Weiguo nodded and said, "Forget it, I'll bear it. There's less rain here. It's a few rains occasionally, which is a good thing for the people."

"Can we go against the Japanese or against God?"

Listening to everyone's complaints, Li Yunlong couldn't help but think.

The failure to support Huangcun in time is actually largely related to the rugged roads. If the roads in this era are flat, the tragedy may have been avoided with the speed of the war horses.

And the old saying goes, if you want to be rich, you should have fewer children and build more roads.

Only when transportation develops can talents from all over the world come to northwest Shanxi to support the great cause of anti-Japanese war.

As for the current situation in Ping'an County, whether it is living conditions or development, I actually have the shadow of some big cities.

But the current problem is that transportation is inconvenient, and the fleet of wealthy businessmen has to calculate the day every time.

Once there is a heavy rain or heavy rain, the wheels of the carriage will fall into the mud, and the goods will be heavy, so it will not be able to be pushed out without the help of three or five big men.

All the things transported here are supported by shoulders, completely relying on the passion of the people and patriots.

In this case, not only is it inefficient and labor costs high, but more importantly, once an emergency occurs, the chance of escaping will be greatly reduced.

Thinking of this, Li Yunlong immediately had the idea of ​​building a road.

But if you want to build a road, you will face various problems in any era.

Due to different times, the specific problems faced by road construction are also different.

Take decades later, the land is contracted to households. Once the road is built, it will inevitably occupy the land that has been allocated to the people, so there will be problems such as land occupation compensation and green melon compensation.

In addition to these things, the final issue involved in road construction, labor, consumables costs and other related issues.

However, in this era, land occupation compensation and labor costs are negligible.

After all, the people's enthusiasm for supporting the work of the Eighth Route Army is very high, and Li Yunlong has so many people in his hands, so it is basically not a big problem to build a road.

But the problem is where the construction scope is from? And once the road is repaired, if the Japanese attacks in, the road will greatly facilitate the transportation of Japanese tanks and armored troops, and will pose a huge threat to the security of northwestern Shanxi.

Therefore, although this road must be repaired, the route choice of the road is extremely important.

"You go and send these herbs to the medical unit. In addition, when you ask the commander and political commissar to come to the command center, you will say that I have something to discuss with them!"

Everyone was stunned. Before they could react, they saw that Li Yunlong had already changed into shoes and walked out of the house.

Everyone looked at each other, not daring to delay any delay.

After a while, Zhao Gang and Kong Jie and others arrived in the regiment command headquarters.

After Li Yunlong told Zhao Gang and others about his thoughts, everyone had different opinions.

Most people agreed, but Kong Jie and Ding Wei said it was completely unnecessary. There are more places to build now, so there is no need to spend money on it.

However, Li Yunlong said with a firm attitude: "I asked you to come here to discuss with you whether the road should be built, but I asked you to help me think about how the road should be built."

Faced with Li Yunlong's domineering attitude, Kong Jie and Ding Wei could only shake their heads helplessly.

"Brother Yunlong, what Captain Kong and Captain Ding said is not unreasonable. There are too many places that require money to develop. Therefore, Chu believes that in the construction of roads, we should try our best to avoid shortcomings and save as much as possible."

Zhao Gang immediately echoed: "In addition to what Captain Chu said, we have to consider other issues."

"First of all, we cannot cover everything. The construction of this road can only be a few fixed cities, and these cities must save their journey while still having dangers to guard."

"While the road construction starts, dangerous areas along the way must also be built fortifications, send militias or small units to garrison along the way, control the road, and form a long-term defense mechanism!"

Soon, everyone came to the conclusion through fierce quarrels and discussions. For this conclusion, they even made detailed plans on the sand table map.

The time lasted for more than four hours, from noon to evening.

Li Yunlong stood up and said, "That's all, with Ping'an County as the center, connecting Taicheng, Yuncheng, Daqing Town, Qinghe County, and Xiaohuangshan."

"The Taicheng leads to Ping'an County, Ping'an County leads to Yuncheng, Ping'an County leads to Xiaohuangshan, and Yuncheng leads to Xiaohuangshan to build fortifications along the way to maintain the safety of major traffic arteries."

Everyone nodded, and this time there was no comment.

In fact, if Ping'an County is the center, there are not many places to spend money on the small desert mountains in Yuncheng, and it is not always built. It is mainly enough to connect some roads.

But it is indeed a considerable expense to lead to Taicheng, and even if you use the method of connecting the road, you may not save much money.

Therefore, after a moment of silence, Li Yunlong made the decision not to use the method of building all the way to the end, but instead chose to build the road at intervals.

"Since we have agreed, let's stop talking nonsense. We will set the construction date with the hospital and the arsenal at the same time. This time, we will be vigorously working hard to build it!"

"Okay!" Everyone responded and left to do the preparations.

Just as Li Yunlong was about to leave, Zhao Gang, who was in charge of finance, suddenly pulled him aside, and his face looked extremely ugly.

Li Yunlong was stunned and said in surprise: "Old Zhao, why did this expression? What happened?"
Chapter completed!
