In December of the third year of Han Yuande, Liu Che's Tianzi car appeared in Wugong County in Weinan.
Liu Che came here to inspect the progress of the project on the Guanzhong side of the Baochuan Road.
Since the start of construction three years ago.
With the injection of funds from Cheng Zheng and Zhuo, the construction of the Bao Chuan Road project started at the same time from Wugong in Weinan and Nanzheng in Hanzhong respectively.
So far, this project has swallowed up nearly 10,000 yuan of money.
On the Wugong County side alone, more than 5,000 migrant workers have been employed, and for three years, the construction has been carried out day and night.
The difficulty of this project is undoubtedly quite high in terms of the technical level at this time.
Because, the whole Bao slope road project, will pass through the mountains and mountains, follow the direction of the river and the mountains, the Bao water and the inclined water together, but in fact, it is the two major water systems of Weishui and Hanshui.
Basically, this project, at this time, is no less than the Sui and Tang Grand Canals.
Once all the projects are completed, at that time, the traffic between Shu County and Guanzhong will become very convenient, and Guanzhong and Shu County will no longer be divided by the Qinling Mountains.
More importantly, this super project will also change the stubborn disease of water shortage in the Weinan area for many years, and only the preliminary estimate of the big farmers and the internal history yamen is that on the side of Guanzhong, the Baochuan Road project can irrigate nearly 100,000 mu of land and benefit tens of thousands of people.
Not to mention, once the Bao ramp road is through, then, the grain from the Kanto region can go up the river through Nanyang, through the Han River, into Nanzheng, and then transfer from Nanzheng to Guanzhong.
This alone can transport at least millions of more grains to Guanzhong every year, save more than one million stones of waste, and reduce the number of people forced into labor by hundreds of thousands.
It can really be said to benefit the country and the people.
No matter how much the Han court attaches importance to it, it cannot be overstated.
Liu Che, accompanied by Liu She, the commander of Shaofu, climbed a mountain on Taiyi Mountain, and overlooked the whole picture of the project on the sloped side of the water that had been preliminarily formed.
The geography of Wugong County.
In the whole pass, it is relatively special.
The highest point is the main peak of Taiyi Mountain, which is close to four thousand meters above sea level, but the lowest point.
At the confluence of Xishui and Weishui, the altitude is only a few hundred meters.
Therefore, the drop is significant.
That's why the slope project is so difficult.
The construction crew will not only have to face the challenges of steep mountains and rushing rivers along the way, but also face them.
The terrain is high and low.
And the Caoyun channel is not like the plank road, as long as it can pass people.
If you want the channel to pass through the mountains smoothly, you have to dig through the mountains and open the channel.
In this era when there was no gunpowder, you could only rely on a hammer and chisel with both hands little by little, and the difficulty can be imagined, even if gunpowder was invented, it would not help much, and gunpowder was not explosive.
The engineering role is not as great as imagined.
The wisdom of working people, however, is endless.
Especially after the number of construction workers reaches an order of magnitude.
The first construction method to be invented was called fire and water stimulation.
This is the simplest method of using the principle of thermal expansion and cold contraction to open mountains and drill stones.
Using this method, within three years, the construction team dug four mountains on the sloped water side alone, and built the largest artificial tunnel group in human history so far.
One of the largest tunnels.
The total length is close to 20 zhang and the width is 3 zhang, which can accommodate a large ship of thousands of materials to pass through.
In addition, there are roads in the tunnel for horse-drawn carriages and pedestrians to pass through.
And then.
In some dangerous areas, the hammer stone method was invented to remove reefs and boulders in certain sections of the river where the water is turbulent and there are boulders in the river.
This is also a stupid way, relying on brute force and sweat to pull out those nails on the road little by little.
Furthermore.
On the road to the project, there are still some places where construction is simply impossible, for example, there are some places where the mountains go directly into the river, let alone digging tunnels, and even people are difficult to walk on their banks.
There was no choice but to carve a concave channel on its bank to divert water from the river into the channel and avoid the place.
Even if I came up with so many stupid ways and spent countless sweat and resources.
However, in some areas, with current engineering technology, there is no way to construct because the river channel is too narrow and cannot be widened at all, or the water flow is too rapid, or even a waterfall at all.
Therefore, there is no choice but to abandon the excavation of these sections, let the boats dock in these places, and then, change to the plank road, and then transfer to water transportation after passing through these sections.

Nowadays, the irrigation project of the entire inclined road is basically nearing completion.
Liu Che looked at this great project that winds and straightens all the way through the mountains and mountains, and said to Liu She, the young government commander next to him, with emotion: "I heard that Wu Zixu, the one in the past, said: The people will be able to win the sky, and this is the case."
Nowadays, no one is determined to win the day.
It is said that only men can overcome the heavens, and the heavens will also be able to overcome the people.
The reverence for God is still deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, even the emperor, and he can't shout nonsense that people will win the sky.
That's going to be complained about However, as an emperor who has been proven to be a monarch and is ordered by heaven, he sighed that everyone will be able to win the sky, but it is Liu Che's power.
"This is all Your Majesty's divine might, so that the ghosts and gods borrow power, and the ministers use their lives, it is the ancient moat, and now it has become a thoroughfare" Liu She immediately patted the horse.
The saying that the people will be able to conquer the heavens is not something that a courtier can say.
It's like Qin Shi Huang asked his ministers back then, ah, I think I'm very awesome, the three emperors and the five emperors are no longer comparable to me, what title should I use?
Of course, the ministers did not dare to take this conversation, so they could only pat their horses and give him the honorific title of emperor.
Now the same is true, as the Son of Heaven and the emperor who is ordered by the sky, Liu Che can naturally say how the sky is, but the courtiers cannot.
The only one who can talk to heaven is the Son of Heaven Liu Che was naturally very happy when he heard it.
The ramp is indeed a problem for the ages Since the beginning of the Three Emperors and Five Emperors, the ancestors of Zhuxia have discovered that they can praise themselves, enter Hanzhong, and arrive in Shu County.
The first excavation of the plank road recorded in the history of the Ming Dynasty was built in order to transfer logistics grain and grass to the Sima Co army of Shu when Fan Sui was in the Qin Dynasty.
In the following hundred years, successive Qin kings and famous ministers all wanted to turn the plank road into a trough road.
However, the steep mountains and turbulent water of the slope road made all of its plans and ideas stillborn.
And three hundred years after Fan Sui, this idea finally saw the dawn of realization in Liu Che's hands.
Once the road is fully completed, the Han Dynasty will open up a highway to the southwest.
The connection between Hanshui and Weishui can not only play an important role in the economy and people's livelihood.
More importantly, from now on, as long as the Baochuan Road exists, it will be impossible for Shu County and the Great Southwest to be separated.
All kinds of Shu regimes have since lost the foundation of their existence.
Now, of course, the ramp road cannot be regarded as having been successfully chiseled.
It is only a preliminary completion of the construction on the sloped water side.
On the other side of Nanzheng, there are nearly 100 miles of steep rivers that need to be conquered.
"Shaofu, after I go back, pass on my order, Linqiong Cheng Zheng and Zhuo, as relatives, rich but not delicate, honest and commendable, his Feng Cheng Zheng Ying is Cheng Xinjun, and Zhuo Wang Sun is Jia Xinjun" Liu Che instructed lightly.
The two old fathers-in-law, in fact, should have been given the status of a feudal monarch a long time ago.
In the Han family, among the feudal monarchs, the biggest source is relatives.
Even, there are many relatives who are directly sealed.
However, at present, the old Liu family is still very hypocritical on the issue of relatives.
Generally speaking, on the issue of rewarding relatives, there is a tangled appearance of wanting to set up a memorial arch.
I think that at the beginning, Emperor Taizong could be said to have dragged on the issue of the feudal lords of his two brothers-in-law.
Empress Dowager Dou's elder brother Dou Changjun didn't even wait for himself to be crowned marquis.
Shaojun Dou Guangguo also stayed up for many years, until Liu Che's father came to power, and was named Zhang Wuhou.
It is Liu Che's turn to be the emperor, as the emperor who claims to be the heir of Taizong, he is naturally on par with Emperor Taizong on the issue of relatives.
So far, only Yizong has been sealed as Dongcheng Hou, and because of the need to win over the Empress Dowager Dou, Chen Chan has been named the Marquis of Longxi.
In addition, the relatives of other concubines are only rewarded with money.
This time, it is the first time since Liu Che ascended the throne that he rewarded his relatives.
However, no one else has any way to talk about it.
If you have the ability, donate a super channel like a ramp.
Don't talk about being a king, you can be a marquis S: I just went home today, take a break, and resume normal tomorrow Update S: Taiyi Mountain is the current Taibai Mountain t1706231537:
