The ancient Baoxie Road, exit on the Guanzhong side, in front of the Xiegu Pass in Mei County.

A huge convoy carrying heavy supplies came from afar.

At this point in time, most of the ancient plank road is still flat and spacious, and can be used for the army to march.

Records of the Grand Historian: The plank road is thousands of miles away, and everything is open, but only the slanting of the hub is connected to the mouth, and the "business and travel joints are spread out faintly, the crowns and belts are intertwined, and the square shaft is connected to the pegs.

The reason for this situation is that thirty years ago, in order to strengthen the control and operation of the southwest region, the Han Dynasty rebuilt the plank road and widened the road surface and roads of the plank road.

Zhang Tang even had a lot of ideas and planned to dig a canal between Baogu and Xigu, and use water conservancy to transfer food and the army.

However, it is obvious that this idea is like a certain Hedong County Magistrate who had been thinking about taming the Yellow River. It is a plan that exceeds the capabilities and technical limits of the times.

Although Zhang Tang's imagination failed, to a certain extent, it greatly improved the traffic environment of this road.

In addition, in the upper reaches of the ancient Han River, the damming lake formed after the Wudu earthquake is still expanding northward.

Therefore, now, although the earthquake has destroyed the once prosperous Chencang Ancient Road, the older Baoxi Road has been rejuvenated.

In addition to the Baoxi Road connecting Guanzhong and Hanzhong, the entire plank road requires more than 200 miles of rugged mountain road, the traffic in other areas is still smooth.

At least it can meet the needs of large-scale military operations and material transportation.

It is often heard that riding on a yak, humming a mountain song, wearing a silk dress, and two servants with their hair combed, leading the yak in front of them to open the way.

He turned slightly and looked at the huge transport team composed of pack horses and yaks behind him, feeling very happy.

"I'm about to win the first prize this time!" He thought in his mind: "You can make ten times more profits at least!"

He is from Dian Kingdom, and even has some relatives with the Dian Kingdom royal family.

However, in today's era, all the King of Dian Yelang are slacks!

The greatest master in the world is only one Han emperor.

During the Yuanding period, Nanyue Prime Minister Lu Jia was rebellious, attacked and killed angels, assassinated the king, and resisted the heavenly soldiers.

The King of Han went south to suppress the rebellion, and the aftermath of aoe swept to the southwest Yi region.

The result was that King Qilan, who dared to rebel against the emperor, was kicked as a ball on the ground, and seven or eight kings, including Zhujun and Toulan, who were trying to disobey the emperor, fell to the ground.

The heavenly soldiers were as powerful as bamboo, and the southwest barbarians were trembling with fear, and could only shout that the emperor was wise and became a vassal of the Han Dynasty.

His relative, Chang's family in Dian Kingdom, felt at first that the sky was high and the emperor was far away, and no matter how awesome the Han Dynasty was, it would be impossible to defeat him.

He deliberately asked the envoy of the Han Dynasty: "Oh, you think, which one is bigger than that of the Dian Kingdom?"

This malicious and cute behavior soon stopped automatically and consciously.

Because the Lao Kingdom and Mi Mo next to the Dian Kingdom (the two kingdoms and Dian Kingdom were actually from the same source and were both founded by descendants of the conquerors of the Chu Kingdom), they were quickly destroyed by the Han army.

The people of Dian Kingdom immediately adjusted their attitude.

The King of Dian not only took the initiative to go to Chang'an to pay homage, but also asked the emperor to send officials to guide the internal affairs of Dian Kingdom. After going to Chang'an, he even thought about being intimate every day.

But the Han people are not very interested.

Although the Han emperor ordered the Dian Kingdom to be changed to Yizhou County because of the obedience and obedience of the Dian King, he still gave the Dian King seal and ordered him to continue to rule his homeland.

The most exciting thing is the Yelang people who are also as malicious and cute as the Dian people, who once told the Han envoy, "Which is the biggest, Han or Yelang?"

The emperor of the Han family is very doting on this small country.

Not only did he send ministers and officials to guide his internal affairs and grant him the seal of the Yelang king, he also established a county near the territory of Yelang Kingdom, as a fortress and administrative center of the Han Dynasty in the southwest Yi region.

Since the Han Dynasty established a county near the Yelang territory, and established Wudu County on the territory of the Baima Di people.

These places have become more developed.

Not only did the people's lives improve, but the living standards of the nobles also ran into feudal society overnight.

It is still the most advanced and developed feudal society!

The kings and nobles of the southwestern countries were envious, jealous and hated these places.

I dreamed all day long when the Han people would come to set up counties on their own territory.

There is no way, before the Han people came, the social productivity of the countries in the southwest was equivalent to that of primitive society. Even if they were kings, they would not be as free as a small landlord in the Han Dynasty.

Unfortunately, the countries in the southwestern countries have missed the best opportunity.

After the Yuan Dynasty, the Han Dynasty began to adjust its strategies, shrink its sphere of influence, concentrate on managing the Western Regions, and compete for hegemony with the Huns.

Interest in the mountains of the southwestern Yi dropped rapidly.

Especially when the Han people could not find a shortcut to the body poisoning, the southwest region became useless.

If Yelang people and the Baima Di in Wudu were not for their desperate attempts to be cute, they would have been cancelled even if they were the county and Wudu county.

Against this background, no matter how cute the countries in the southwestern Yi are, they cannot change their minds.

It was also true that when the Han emperor's decree spread, almost the entire southwest mountains caused a sensation.

From Yelang to Dian Kingdom, from Baima to Zhu, Wu.

Whether it was the grazing nomads or the people with their hair living on the mountain, whether it was the state or the tribe, they were all mobilized.

The head and the squat have become a scarce resource.

As a businessman, Chang Wen responded immediately.

He was the first to prepare manpower and purchase related materials, and the first to prepare pack horses and yaks to transport these materials.

This allowed him to acquire the most heads and squats at the lowest cost.

His transportation team only spent more than 30,000 yuan in total, carrying five thousand stone horns and two thousand stone squat trunks!

On the banks of Baoshui in Hanzhong, there are more than 30,000 stones of heads, squatting thorns, and they are piled up on the shore, waiting for him to return to luck!

At this moment, looking at the sparse Han family barriers ahead, I often heard that I had made a lot of money!

There is an allusion from the Han people, called "Qianjinshi Horse Bone". The first person to respond to the call of the Han emperor will definitely make a fortune!

The yak soon walked to the gate of Hanjia City at the foot of the mountain.

A Han army officer came forward with his people and asked, "Who are you?"

Chang Wen saw it and immediately came down from the yak, went forward, bowed and bowed, "When the Emperor of Yi Shang, I heard that the Emperor of Han issued an edict, I asked for a squat and squat to lose to Guanzhong, and I specially brought 5,000 stones of squat to squat and 2,000 stones of squat to offer to the Emperor!"

Hearing this, the officer immediately bowed and said, "Please come in!"

Xigusai has already received orders for all those who are squatting and squatting and heading into the pass, and will be released!

So, the convoy of Changwen continued to move forward and was escorted by the Han army, reaching the side of the road more than ten miles outside the Xigu Pass.

This place has been requisitioned by the army and has been built into a huge warehouse.

As soon as the convoy entered, an official who had been waiting here for a long time immediately came to greet him with a smile.

After inspecting the goods and confirming Chang Wen's identity.

The official mysteriously pulled Chang Wen to a remote place and asked, "Can you resell this batch of goods to me? I am willing to buy them all at a price of 40 yuan per stone..."

"If you are willing, I am willing to acquire it in gold!"

When I heard it, my breathing suddenly became short.

Forty coins per stone?

In other words, isn’t his transaction worth millions?

Will he make dozens of times profit?

The nature of a businessman made him almost agree.

Fortunately, he suppressed his inner impulse, shook his head firmly, and said, "Although I am a barbarian from outside, I have also received the kindness of the Han people. The villain's father and grandfather have served the Han envoys. My ancestor Changsheng was once the guide of Tang Weng, and my father Changman was the general of Han Zhonglang, and the clerk commander of the clerks and horses were gone!"

When I talked about this, Chang Wen couldn't help but raise his head and was extremely proud.

Tang Weng was the Tang Meng, who was the Han envoy in Yuanding, and was sent to the southwest to the barbarian countries. He once represented the Han emperor's sovereignty over the barbarian countries in the southwest.

In the southwestern Yi countries, Tang Meng was very popular.

Especially Yelang and Dian Kingdom, they are all called "Tang Weng".

Some people even worship this envoy who brought the blessings of the Han emperor Yu Luo to the mountains in the southwest.

The General of the Central Army and the Chief Secretary were the late Han Dynasty writer Sima Xiangru.

Although in Chang'an, the image of this literary master is linked to a weak scholar and an ungrateful and lucky man.

However, in the southwest countries, the status of this great writer is comparable to that of Confucius, which the Han Dynasty advocates.

When Sima Xiangru walked on the roads he had walked in the southwest and the pavilions he had rested, they are still local sacred relics.

It is because it was this great writer who allowed the nobles of the southwest countries to appreciate the first time what the "Han style" and what the "gentleman style" meant, and everyone felt ashamed in front of him.

Chang Wen has always been proud of his ancestors being able to serve these two great men!

As he said this, he always heard the righteous and righteous words: "Therefore, even though the villain is despised, he knows the great righteousness! He is loyal to the emperor, fulfills his responsibilities and dedicates himself. It is a blessing for the villain. Don't talk about gold. Even all the wealth in the world is placed in front of the villain, and the villain will never accept it!"

When the official heard this, he sighed and regretted, and said, "It's my official Meng Lang!"

I feel so regretful!
