"What should you do if you bring so many ordinary people not only consume a lot of energy on them, but also keep the soldiers' appetites awkward?"

"If you lose your combat effectiveness because of this, it will be even more unfavorable to our great man."

The main purpose is not to raise the soldiers too well.

If everyone is addicted to food and cannot extricate themselves, how can they go to the battlefield then?

I have to say that Tang Qi's worries are quite reasonable.

Even Gongsun Hong, who initially made the suggestion, now shut up obediently.

The other civil and military officials looked at each other and couldn't say anything.

Obviously, they were all convinced by Tang Qi in a few words.

The army, after all, goes to war.

Year-round training, in addition to training their combat power, is to exercise a strong body in order to adapt to various cruel environments.

But if they are just keeping comfortable, it is not a good thing for the army.

It's like they're obsessed with the food in front of them now.

If those soldiers are also obsessed with food, thus waive their combat power and lose the sense of urgency on the battlefield.

How can such an army exert the momentum that the tiger and wolf army should have when facing the enemy?

After all, military rations are not just about pursuing good quality. As long as the soldiers can fill their stomachs and neutralize the taste, it will be fine.

As for the others, we cannot ask for too much.

Not to mention unreliable things like carrying a chef with you.

Although Liu Che didn't say anything, he said again: "Sir, I look at the earth under my feet, it seems very strange."

Yes, Emperor Wu of Han also seemed to have agreed and directly changed the topic.

Tang Qi smiled and continued, "Report to Your Majesty, this is a cement road."

"Cement road?"

"Uh-huh……"

In the past, Tangjiazhuang was quite backward. There were also gravel roads inside the village, with pits and potholes everywhere. When it rained, the mud mixed with water, which made it even more muddy everywhere and there was no way to walk.

When Tang Qi was renovating, he transformed the place into a cement pavement.

However, since cement is very troublesome to make, there will be no such many things in a while.

Therefore, the coverage area of ​​cement roads is only Tangjiazhuang.

After leaving Tangjiazhuang, it was still the same kind of gravel road.

Wei Qing's eyes lit up and said, "Cement roads are indeed good things. The ground is smooth and flat. If the world is covered with cement roads, then the speed is definitely much faster than now."

“The requirements for horses will be much lower.”

"With that being said, this kind of cement road goes straight forward. If one side comes from the east and the other side comes from the west, then will it be a collision after encounter? None of the two sides can move forward?"

An official came forward to find out the loopholes.

Others also feel it makes sense.

Although cement roads have been paved in Tangjiazhuang, it is difficult for horses to come in.

This is the flaw!

However, Wei Qing said with a look of contempt: "Since I dare to raise this matter, I will naturally have some plans."

"Isn't it just a cement road? We can design two, one to the east and the other to the west."

this……

It's one of the solutions to the problem.

Many people nodded secretly, feeling reasonable.

Even Liu Che thought it was very feasible.

The benefits of cement roads naturally do not need to be explained too much. There are too many benefits for horses to walk on here.

In the past, I could only travel a thousand miles a day, but now I might be able to travel two thousand miles a day or three thousand miles a day. I don’t have to worry about crossing mountains and ridges, just walking through those bumpy mud and stone paths.

"Sir, what do you think? Do you think it's feasible?"

Of course, Liu Che still solicited Tang Qi's opinions.

However, Tang Qi looked at Wei Qing in surprise.

"I didn't expect you to be so smart?"

"ah?"

Suddenly being praised by Tang Qi, Wei Qing didn't know why, so he seemed a little confused and surprised.

But he didn't know that his ideas were actually very advanced.

Even Tang Qi had to give him a thumbs up and praise him for his talent!

In later generations, roads were usually designed in this way.

The corresponding directions are separated.

Even highways and roads in the city are designed in this way.

Especially at those three-way intersections, red street lights are also installed.

Various traffic laws are also accompanied by.

If Wei Qing could even imagine these things, then he would be really amazing.

I am worthy of living with me on a deserted island for so long.

This idea is much more powerful than that of ordinary ancients!

However, this matter may be simple, but it is extremely difficult to operate.

Not to mention anything else, the people present probably haven't calculated how much manpower and material resources are needed to build a cement road that is scattered all over the Han Dynasty...

Moreover, how much time it takes is also an unmeasurable number.

In order to build a highway, even if it uses various modern technologies, it took a year or two, and it took decades or hundreds of years to promote it to the whole country.

If the great man started to build it from now on, it would be basically unrealistic.

"If it's to transport supplies, it's actually better to have waterways."

Sima Qian's father Sima Tan suggested: "The best thing now is water transportation, which is much more convenient than building cement roads, and the transportation capacity is not much different."

"Of course, digging out a river is also an extremely waste of money."

"The time required is not easy to calculate."

"I just want to dig a river."

Tang Qi interrupted.

Then he pointed to the river in the distance and said, "I have dug one in Tangjiazhuang long ago to transport supplies."

"I also saw the river, so I had this statement."

Sima Tan said modestly: "Hao Anding seems to have thought of everything."

Tang Qi smiled.

Judging from the current situation of the Han Dynasty, it is indeed one of the good ways to open up a large number of rivers to strengthen transportation capacity.

It can be carried out simultaneously with the construction of cement roads.

For example, water transportation can be used in places with water, but if there is no water, land transportation can be used instead. These things are also possible.

Moreover, digging rivers is much simpler than building cement roads.

Although it also requires a lot of manpower and material resources, it also requires a lot of time to lose.

However, this matter is simple and crude. As long as you draw a large number of migrant workers and send them a shovel, you can do it directly.

As we chatted, it was late at night.

Some people feel tired and go back to rest early.

There are many private houses, enough for these officials to use. As for the people who came to visit Tangjiazhuang, Tang Qi tried his best to make arrangements.
