Cai Ji told Cao Shu about the construction of the three roads.

Cao Shu asked: "How long does it take to complete all three roads?"

"There are not enough people." Cai Ji said: "I have used women from nearby villages, and I have only built so much."

"How many people do you have now?" Cao Shuo asked.

"Just count soldiers or civilians and women?" Cai Ji did not answer directly, but asked back.

"How many soldiers are there?" Cao Shuo asked.

"Three thousand people." Cai Ji said: "They were all those who had followed the vanguard in the army at the time. Although these people have withdrawn from the standing army, they are really good at building bridges and paving roads."

"How many people and wives have each?" Cao Shuo asked again.

"There are more than 10,000 civilians, but the women cannot calculate it." Cai Ji said: "Sometimes they come, sometimes they don't come. When they come, they will receive a copper coin. Of course, they will have no money to give it to them if they don't come."

"More than 10,000 people." Cao Shuo said: "It's quite a lot, why are the roads so slow?"

"There are many people, but the procedures for building roads are too complicated." Cai Ji said: "It would be fine if it was just paved with bluestone. The young master asked the bluestone to be polished and smoothed, and there should not be too big gaps in the splicing. In this way, the roads will be difficult to repair."

"Just lay the rough bluestone on the road. If you want to walk on a big car in the future, the vehicle will definitely be very bumpy." Cao Shuo said: "We build roads not only for the sake of good looks, but also for practicality."

"I understand what the young master said." Cai Ji said: "It is precisely because of this that I asked the soldiers and the civilians to pay attention to polishing."

"Where has the nearest road been built?" Cao Shuo asked.

"It's not far outside Shouchun City." Cai Ji said: "I haven't paved the road to the gate of Shouchun City before the road has been completed."

"Go and have a look with me." Cao Shu stood up and walked towards the door of the study.

"Young Master is going now?" Cai Ji followed him and asked him in surprise.

"Of course, go now." Cao Shuo said: "Can you wait until you are away?"

Cai Ji didn't ask any more questions and accompanied Cao Shu out of the study.

Seeing Cao Shu come out, Deng Zhan and Zhu Ao quickly met.

Cao Shu instructed them: "Bring some guards and go with me to see General Cai build the road!"

Deng Zhan greeted some guards and followed Cao Shu to the outer courtyard.

When we arrived at the gate, some guards had already prepared the horses.

Cao Shu and others got on the horse, and Cai Ji said, "Young Master, the nearest road is at the North Gate of Shouchun."

"Then go to the north gate." Cao Shu shook the reins and headed towards the north gate.

Several gates in Shouchun City are different.

The south gate faces the main road, the city wall is thin and the surrounding area is empty.

The north gate is close to the mountain, and when building the city wall, it is also turning around. The city gate is just like a long alley, and you have to walk around for a long distance.

After passing through the city gate, Cao Shu and others came outside the city.

Looking at the mountains not far away, Cao Shu asked, "How did you build the road under such terrain?"

"It's very simple." Cai Ji said: "With the help of gentle slopes, although the roads are high and low, as long as the bluestone is well polished, the roads will be flat when they are built."

"Where does the bluestone for building the road come from?" Cao Shuo asked again.

"There are stones everywhere on Bagong Mountain." Cai Ji said: "If the stones here are just used to build roads, they may not be used up for a thousand years."

"There are so many?" Cao Shuo said in surprise: "I see that most of the soil on Bagong Mountain."

"The young master only saw a part of it." Cai Ji said: "Bagong Mountain is a very strange place."

"What's weird? You're talking to me." It's been two or three years since Shouchun occupied. Although Cao Shuo had visited Bagong Mountain, he had never carefully studied the landforms here.

Cai Ji has recently built a road, and what he knows must be very detailed.

Cao Shu immediately became interested in what he said.

"Bagong Mountain is divided into many hills." Cai Ji said: "Some hills are mostly stones, while some hills are mostly soil. The herbs and fairy grasses are everywhere on the mountain. A few days ago, mountain people found a Ganoderma lucidum that was bigger than a carriage."

"Gingeria lucidum bigger than a carriage?" Cao Shuo smiled and said, "That's worth a lot of money..."

"It's not worth it." Cai Ji said: "It's just a wooden Ganoderma lucidum. If it's blood Ganoderma lucidum, as long as it's the size of a pottery, you can buy three wooden Ganoderma lucidum the size of a carriage."

"You know a lot now, and you still know what wooden Ganoderma lucidum is and what blood Ganoderma lucidum is." Cao Shuo asked: "Is there any blood Ganoderma lucidum on Bagong Mountain?"

"Of course there is." Cai Ji said: "Someone has dug it up, but it just wants to dig a grave. Most people don't do such unethical things..."

Speaking of this, Cai Ji suddenly realized that something was wrong.

He was a bad thing to dig a grave with his hands. In order to dig a grave, he specially set up General Faqiu and Cao Shuo, who was the chief lieutenant of the gold, was probably the ancestor who did a bad thing...

"I'm not talking about young master..." Cai Ji said embarrassedly: "I'm talking about the people digging graves..."

"No need to explain." Cao Shu waved his hand: "It's okay if you don't explain. With this explanation, I feel like I've done a lot of bad things."

He smiled and Cai Ji said, "How could it be... the young master asked someone to dig a grave, that was to borrow money from the dead to save the people. It was different from tomb robbers digging graves."

"I won't talk about this." Cao Shuo asked, "What else is on the mountain?"

"I've gone too much," Cai Ji said: "Only the young master could not imagine, and there is no place to be found on the mountain."

"No wonder several warlocks chose to refine alchemy for the Martial Emperor here." Cao Shuo said: "It seems that Bagong Mountain is really a handsome and beautiful place."

"Not only herbs, but even scorpions and centipedes have their own hills." Cai Ji said: "There are scorpions on the hills in the south. The Jiazi Mountain in the north are all centipedes. There are no scorpions in the places where there are centipedes, and there are no centipedes in the places where there are scorpions. It is really strange."

"As you say, there are no stones where there are soil, and there are no soil where there are stones?" Cao Shuo asked.

"No." Cai Ji said: "There are soil in places with stones, but not many. There are also stones in places with soil, and not many. We found several hills full of stones, and the stones mined there were hard texture. Although it took time to polish them, wind and rain can ensure that they will not melt for a thousand years."

"After you say this, there are treasures on the mountain." Cao Shuo said.

"Of course," Cai Ji said: "It's just that the place where we built the road is far away from the mountain where we were collecting stones, so I would take the young master over and take a look."

"You can see the hill at the doorstep at any time," Cao Shu said: "The key now is to see how much difference the road you built is from what I want."
