Apu and the others took a wooden carriage all the way to the foot of Yanzhi Mountain.
Some of the gentle roads down and down the mountain were covered with wooden tracks, leaving only some steep and difficult places where you had to get off the car and walk.
To the east of Yanzhi Mountain, all the way to Liangzhou City, there are wooden tracks.
Further east from Liangzhou City, there are no tracks.
There are wooden tracks along the way, making transportation very convenient from the east and west ends of Yanzhi Mountain.
However, reaching Yanzhi Mountain requires a lot of manual labor to move goods.
As time goes by, many porters gradually come to Yanzhi Mountain to make a living.
When Apu and others went up the mountain, they were accompanied by many pedestrians, merchants, and porters who were constantly going up and down the mountain.
Most of them carried heavy loads and carried wooden sticks.
If they were really tired from walking, they would put up wooden sticks to support them.
The shoulder poles and baskets on both ends of the load are placed on the slope with one end and hung in the air, so that one can rest for a while and carry the load up the slope.
This is generally the case.
There are more and more people coming and going on Yanzhi Mountain, and there are fewer and fewer wild beasts on the mountain.
Occasionally, I hear wild beasts coming and going, and they will be beaten soon.
Therefore, this road is relatively safe.
When walking on the gentle slope, you can often see stalls selling hot water and meals.
Some people also built thatched mud houses on the mountain to live in.
After descending Yanzhi Mountain, passing Liangzhou City, and heading towards Chang'an, there is only a cement road.
When this road was built in the early years, the cement used was not the improved cement variety today, and the quality was slightly inferior.
Once this road was repaired, after so many years of use, the road surface will inevitably become potholes and cracked, and some sections of the road are really unbearable.
OK, some sections of the road are in slightly better condition.
This team coming from Changle County found the journey very difficult since they got on this cement road.
Here in Chang'an City, there have been discussions about road construction recently.
The railway track on Henan Road is about to be completed.
As early as November last year, someone proposed to build Lingnan Road.
Later, people from Chang'an transported a lot of goods back from Lingnan Road by sea.
After that, many merchants sailed Going to Lingnan, in this way, the land route seems not so important.
Some people also proposed to build the road to Hexi, mainly led by Changsun Wuji.
Changsun Wuji is not only the elder brother of the deceased Empress Changsun, he is also an important figure in the Guanlong Group.
In this group, he also has a strong voice.
In addition, after running the business over the years, he also has a strong voice in the court.
There is power.
This is also the reason why Changsun Wuji became a powerful minister after the new emperor ascended the throne.
He relied on more than just his status as the emperor's uncle.
In this court, there are many people who are wary of Changsun Wuji and even regard him as a scourge.
At this time, Changsun Wuji said that Hexi Road would be built.
At that time, some people stood up to oppose it, saying that they still believed that Lingnan Road should be built first.
Changsun Wuji argued with them, and they said that the Guanlong Group was bullying the Lingnan people.
They also said that the road to Lingnan was difficult and dangerous.
It was often heard that pedestrians and porters were killed by wild animals, so it was better to build the Lingnan Road first.
Changsun Wuji was furious.
What kind of bullying is this?
Lingnan Road should be built, but Hexi Road should not be built.
Longyou Road has developed so fast in recent years.
It makes sense that there is not even a good road from Chang'an City to Longyou Road.

Furthermore, if we talk about wild beasts, there are no wild beasts anywhere in the Tang Dynasty.
There are still occasional reports of wild beasts in Chang'an City.
With this back and forth, people on both sides gradually became red-faced, almost pointing at each other's noses and scolding each other.
In the end, the saint came out to rescue the siege, so that everyone could stop fighting and let the two sides end their lives together.
Although he acted as a peacemaker, for some reason, many people in the court felt that the saint was actually protecting Changsun Wuji.
Changsun Wuji may have thought so in his heart.
After all, the struggle in the court was extremely dangerous, and the saint's health had been getting worse every year.
In the future, when the new emperor ascends the throne, if he wants to secure the throne, he will have to count on his relatives.
Uncle's support.
As for what the emperor was thinking, no one would know unless he said it himself.
When Luo Yong was looking through the information earlier, something caught his attention, and he couldn't help but think about it more.
According to the book, when he was about to die soon, the saint had a detailed discussion with Changsun Wuji and asked him what it would be like to make Wu King Li Ke the emperor instead.
The King of Wu, Li Ke, was the son of the noble concubine Yang, who was the biological daughter of Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty.
Since he was not the son of Empress Changsun, he was naturally not the nephew of Changsun Wuji.
In addition, Li Ke This person is also more independent-minded than Li Zhi, and is obviously difficult to control.
Changsun Wuji is naturally very opposed to this matter.
Since he objected, Li Shimin gave up.
When Li Zhi ascended the throne, Changsun Wuji held great power.
Later, while the court was investigating Fang Yiai's rebellion case, he framed Li Ke and executed him.
Historically, because Changsun Wuji did this, his evaluation was often negative.
However, Luo Yong has recently been thinking about why Li Shimin mentioned this matter to Changsun Wuji.
Is it because he is in poor health and his mind is confused, or because he originally had the intention to get rid of Li Ke through Changsun Wuji's hand.
Li Ke has a special status.
Both his parents are members of the royal family.
In addition, he behaves well and has a good reputation among the courtiers.
If he wants to cause trouble, he will definitely be able to gather many supporters.
There is another possibility, that is, Li Shimin was plotting against Changsun Wuji from the beginning and making longer-term plans for his heir.
He not only asked Changsun Wuji to get rid of Li Ke and eliminated this potential threat for Li Zhi, but also made Changsun Wuji lose his reputation.
Later, even if Li Zhi used the hands of Wu to eradicate Changsun Wuji, He didn't get much infamy for this, even though this person was his uncle, and he had done a lot for him when he first came to the throne.
Regarding the matter of being stigmatized, I am afraid no one has a deeper feeling than Li Shimin.
In this age where filial piety is emphasized, he has been infamy for most of his life because of the Xuanwu Sect incident.
Even if Li Shimin had the intention to eradicate Li Ke, he would definitely not act rashly.
To put it bluntly, Changsun Wuji is stupid.
Regardless of whether Li Shimin deliberately calculated it or not, the actual result was that in the transition between old and new royal power, Changsun Wuji sacrificed his own life and power and became a stepping stone for his father and son.
Looking back at this time, in the court, the person who has the closest relationship with the saint is Changsun Wuji, who often shows great trust.
If there was a conspiracy behind such closeness and trust, it would be hard for Luo Yong to imagine how terrifying Li Shimin was and how lonely his life was.
Real loneliness is not loneliness when you are alone, but being in a noisy world without friends, being close to people but not being able to communicate with each other.
Most emperors are lonely.
Yang Guang, Li Yuan, Li Shimin, Li Zhi, and Wu Zetian are all lonely.
Especially when life is about to come to an end, they are often extremely lonely. gd1806102:
