Amid the creaking sound, the sand table in the Sanmenxia area was pushed away by the officials in a small cart. What followed was another large sand table. The scene simulated by this sand table was a panoramic view of the plank road in Zhenyang Gorge on Lingbing.

The Zhenyang Gorge Plank Road, which lasted for more than three years, was finally completed this spring. Yang Ji, the general manager of Guangzhou, then sent an envoy to Chang'an to make a sand table using the "Xiyang Sand Table Technique", and displayed the panoramic view of the Zhenyang Gorge Plank Road to the court.

Of course, this sand table was created by the envoy after he arrived in Chang'an and followed the sketches and a large amount of information. Although it was just a "panoramic miniature sand table", after everyone saw it, they were amazed by this magnificent project.

What made them even more amazed was that the Xianyangxia Plank Road was built by the Guangzhou General Administration Office, and it was a major project completed by the Guangzhou General Administration Office shortly after the imperial court pacified Dinglingbiao and the following year when war broke out again.

The outstanding ability of Guangzhou General Manager Yang Ji was fully demonstrated, and the "Opening the Chinese Law" adopted by the other party when preparing to build the plank road in the Zhenyang Gorge also made people, including the Prime Minister and the Qi Wangyu civilization, very interested.

The so-called "Kaizhong Law" is simply to make salt profits, allowing merchants to transport designated materials from the government to a designated location, and then rely on the salt tickets issued by the local government to attract salt to the salt field to support salt.

The Guangzhou General Administration has a seaside salt field under its jurisdiction, and the "salt drying method" is adopted, which has caused the sea salt production to soar, and the huge salt benefits make the Guangzhou General Administration's "opening" attractiveness.

Many merchants raised supplies and transported them to the construction site at the Wuyang Xiakou construction site for handover. Then they received salt tickets and salt guides. They went south to Fanyu to buy a large amount of overseas incense medicines that had arrived on the shore and white sugar produced on the Lingbei area.

After they returned the same route, even if they sold goods such as sea salt in Hongzhou and Tanzhou, their profits can still be described as "huge profits".

It is precisely because of this that the Guangzhou General Administration Office has independently completed the construction of the Zhenyangxia Plank Road with the help of "Kaizhongfa". According to Yang Ji, the general administrator, the cargo transportation capacity of this plank road from south to north has increased by several times.

At the same time, the expanded Dayu Ling Road also greatly increased the number of caravans traveling to Lingnan.

That means that more Lingbei specialties and overseas incense medicines will be transported to the Central Plains this year, and the establishment of the Guangzhou Maritime Administration of the Maritime Administration of the Maritime Administration also brought huge taxes (in-kind tax) to the court.

At the same time, the tax revenue of the Hongzhou General Administration this year will not be less than 30%.

The good news is more than that, because the "Northern Bing Sales" project organized by the Maritime Bureau was successfully carried out, which strengthened the connection between Jiaozhou and Zhongyuan.

The supply of large amounts of ice has enabled the Central Plains soldiers in the Jiaozhou garrison to survive the hot summer and the morale of the army has become much more stable. A large number of local tyrants finally felt the practical benefits given to them by the Central Plains court.

Looking at the sand table of the plank road in the Zhenyang Gorge and the memorial of the Guangzhou General Manager and the Hongzhou General Manager, Yu Wenming was very happy because it meant that the imperial court's control over Lingbiao was strengthening.

The ridges are wide and are thousands of miles away from the Central Plains. They are also a smoky place that everyone hears. After the imperial court pacified the ridge, there was no hope that the various places in the ridge could bring too many positive benefits to the arch.

Unexpectedly, in addition to overseas fragrant medicines, a large amount of white sugar (sucrose) is produced, and sea salt in Lingbiao Guangzhou and other places has become an indispensable material for the Hongzhou General Administration and the Tanzhou General Administration.

The waterway connecting the Central Plains and Guangzhou, the waterway, now has the Zhenyang Gorge Plank Road, and the transportation capacity from north to south has been strengthened. It can be foreseen that the materials going to and from Dayuling will increase significantly.

By collecting commercial taxes and daily necessities brought by the caravans, garrisons in important places such as Qujiang along the coast of Qinshui can support themselves and maintain a certain scale.

Once there is something wrong with the Lingbiao, the army of the Guangzhou General Administration can suppress the rebellion. There is no need for the imperial court to travel thousands of miles from the Central Plains, which greatly reduces the burden on the imperial court.

Yu Wenming was wondering whether the "Kaizhong Law" trialed by the Guangzhou General Administration Office could be tried in the Central Plains, and "a stone from another mountain can be used to attack jade", while the officials on the side looked at the sand table of the plank road in the Zhenyang Gorge and made up their minds: they must not remind the Prime Minister of himself.

Go to the Lingbing Office to become an official and achieve some political achievements? That is absolutely not possible!

It is said that it takes two months to go to Fanyu from Chang'an. If you go to Guangzhou to be an official, even if you become a general manager, it means you will stay away from the center of power from then on. You don't know that you can only come back in the year of the Monkey and Horse Month. When you come back, the position of Tai Sui has nothing to do with you.

Not to mention, what is the difference between being an official in a smoky place in Lingbiao and being exiled?

Therefore, everyone made a choice: even if you are an official in Guangzhou, you will never go, let alone go to Jiaozhou!

Murong Sanzang, the general manager of Jiaozhou, was a native of the northern country and had been in the hot land of Jiaozhou for several years. He finally survived and was replaced by the new general manager of Jiaozhou sent by the court. Before the summer arrived this year, he left Lingbiao and returned to the Central Plains.

Yang Ji, the chief manager of Guangzhou, has been in the works for two consecutive years. Since Chen had limited ability and married the Xian daughter as his wife. It is not suitable for a long time to serve as the chief manager of Guangzhou, and asked the court to send another talent to the post.

The court had surprisingly consistent opinions:

Manager Yang is the most suitable candidate, so why don’t you change it? Lingbei is in a mess. It is just that General Manager Yang is in charge of the overall situation. If someone else goes, it will ruin the great situation that Lingbei finally opened up, that would be a bad thing.

The officials were silenced, fearing that the Prime Minister would "light up a flash of inspiration", so they sent him to Lingbiao to replace Yang Ji to take charge of the overall situation. Yuwen Kai looked at the sand table of the plank road in the Zhenyang Gorge, a little excited.

He was born interested in large-scale projects. Although the scale of the Zhenyangxia plank road cannot be said to be the best in the world, it is not small. It is difficult to build a sturdy and durable plank road that can ensure one-way carriages.

Yuwen Kai thought of the Shu Road. If he could follow the construction experience of the Zhenyang Gorge Plank Road and "stones from other mountains can be used to broaden the Shu Road, then the amount of grain imported from Shu will increase, and the cost will also decrease.

In the long run, this will be very helpful in alleviating the food tension in Guanzhong.

What Yuwen Kai is even more concerned about is another large-scale project, that is, the Guanghuang Railway crossing the Dabie Mountains. This is an unprecedented transportation project, but Yuwen Kai cannot participate in it because he has not mastered the "Xiyang Engineering Technology".

Now, looking at the mountains of "engineering materials" piled up next to the sand table, Yu Wen Kai felt full of fighting spirit.

I don’t know how long it took, but the sand table on the plank road of Zhenyang Gorge was removed, but what was pushed in was the sand table of an island, and there were wooden models of several buildings, placed next to it.

Yuwen Kai looked carefully and found that this was the sand table and model offered by the Maritime Department. This island is the Danluo Island on the East China Sea. The model is the new royal palace built by the Maritime Department for the Danluo Kingdom and the architectural model of the "concession" on the island.

The new royal palace is in the style of Central Plains, but although it is called the royal palace, its scale is actually similar to that of ordinary state offices in the Central Plains.

The reason why the Maritime Bureau made these sand tables and architectural models was to report to the Prime Minister the Maritime Bureau's "performance" on Danluo Island. The simple words are not as intuitive as the sand tables and models.
