() Three days passed quickly. Yu Liao entered the palace early with Ou Yeqing, Meng Ao and others, and prepared to go with Ying Zheng to open the post road. Ying Zheng had already packed up and put on all the clothes.

The mysterious dark clothes made it appear that the cold and solemn aura was stronger than usual. After Yu Liao and others said hello, they were afraid of missing the auspicious moment of opening the road, so they did not delay, but stayed in the palace for less than half a day.

At that time, the group of people came out of the palace in a mighty manner. The carriage had already been prepared. Ying Zheng came to the city gate in person today, so he did not need to hide among the crowd. Wang Jian led a group of imperial guards to personally escort and clear the way.

Wang Ben, whom I haven't seen for a long time, is also in the army. Judging from his expression, I am afraid that he has been taught a lesson by Wang Jian these days, but that flying momentum is still there...

A large number of civilians had gathered at the city gate, and the crowds were surging. From time to time, there were shouts from the crowd to stop crowding. The soldiers of the Yulin Army were struggling to maintain a road for Ying Zheng and others to pass.

The common people were squeezed to both sides of the street, and the roofs were also covered with dense crowds of people. From a distance, it looked like a dark patch of head. Such a grand occasion was rarely seen a few times a year. It seemed that almost all the residents near Xianyang of Qin State were

There was a crowd of people here, the city gate was wide open, and a road about five or six feet wide outside the city led straight into the distance, and finally divided into several branch roads due to different directions. Ying Zheng had already tried one by car before.

Now that the road has been completed and the wooden planks blocking the road ahead have been removed, and there are no soldiers standing guard to prevent people from passing through, the road looks much wider than before.

Ying Zheng led Yu Liao and others up to the city wall first, looking down at the scene below. The noisy crowd began to quiet down as the shadow of the wooden stick inserted on the high platform gradually tilted. When the shadow of the stick faced west,

Many people couldn't bear it anymore, with joy and expectation on their faces. Wang Ben directed the soldiers to line up, dividing the common people and merchants who were about to leave the city into two lines to wait. The young man commanded in an orderly manner, with much in his eyes.

A little calm, maybe they knew that this was the only way to get out of the city quickly. Although many people were unwilling to accept it, they started to line up obediently when they saw someone. Those who were unwilling were also afraid of being pushed to the back of the line, so they quickly squeezed through...

The scene was in chaos again. Fortunately, many troops were dispatched today. After about half an hour, calm was finally restored. Two long queues stretched straight to the end of the street. They were so densely packed that you could clearly see the end.

There, there was no sign of impatience on Ying Zheng's face. The sun gradually climbed into the sky. There was no shelter on the city tower, so it sprinkled a layer of golden light on everyone, casting long shadows.

, as the gong sounded, marking the opening of the road, everyone gradually became quiet. The soldiers who were originally blocking the city gate wearing dark iron armor and holding bows, crossbows, swords and spears gradually rushed to both sides.

Come out of the middle position.

The first commoner to cross the city showed his identification card, Lu Yin. After letting the soldier guarding the city watch, he waved his hand and let him out. This man was so excited that even Lu Yin could not accept it.

He fell to the ground several times, causing the people behind him who were anxious to cross the city to laugh and scold him. The man didn't take it seriously. He happily picked up something again and then jumped to the middle of the post road outside the city. After jumping a few times, he was very happy.

shouted:

"This road is very good. Even if there are cars and horses passing by, it will not be crowded!" The voice came from far away, which made the people queuing inside feel itchy and wanted to rush out of the city immediately.

Ying Zheng and others stood on the high platform and looked down. They saw a figure standing there in the middle of the gray and calm road, dancing and making noise. The wide post road made the figure standing in the road look like a black shadow.

It was so small that gradually more and more people came out of the city, and more and more people stood on the road. Until later, merchants drove through, and the six-foot-wide avenue at the city gate was inconspicuous even if it was full of people.

It was crowded, and those carriages were traveling side by side, with many empty seats. When the road was first built, it was built according to the number of Shang Liu in the Qin Dynasty. According to modern calculations, this width is twenty meters, many

People were lingering at the gate of the city, but there were also people who were gradually driving their cars toward the distance.

Various places in the Qin State have received notifications that today is the day to open the road. However, it is difficult to calculate the fixed time at this time. Except for some post roads closest to Xianyang that have received news and know that today is the day, distances slightly further away can be determined.

There will be a difference of one or two days from today's time. This is one of the reasons why Ying Zheng feels that it is not convenient to use the current timekeeping method. If he uses the notation of year, month and day, the orders he gives in the future can be specific.

One day, it will never happen again. Obviously he has given the order, but the people below have their own rules for calculating time. Although the difference will not be as big as five days, it is not as convenient as having years, months, and days.

Han Fei looked at the Qin people who were still leaving the city one after another, and couldn't help but said excitedly: "The king has done this for thousands of years. Once this road is completed, the benefits will be endless." This road also has his sweat in it, Han Fei's joy

Naturally more than others, not to mention that such large-scale road construction had never happened before. He had already seen the Taishi on the side taking bamboo slips and carving them. Obviously, he wanted to record today's events in history, even for thousands of years.

After that, future generations will know his name as Han Fei just by looking at the annals of history. Such honor is far better than receiving some gold and silk rewards for a while. Most people with lofty ideals only want to develop their own ambitions and achieve their goals.

It's just that it can be remembered in history. Now that it is achieved, not only Han Fei is happy, but also Wei Zhe and Li Si have smiles on their faces. They know that even if they have no achievements in the future, they can rely on this road construction alone.

It’s enough to make their names memorable to future generations!

After hearing Han Fei's words, everyone quickly bowed and saluted. Everyone's tone was excited and their faces couldn't help themselves. Although Ying Zheng knew that building the road would ultimately be beneficial to the Qin people and not harmful at all, but

Seeing everyone so excited at this time was a bit unexpected. In his previous life, all kinds of highways were built to numb people. Although he knew that it was rare and strange to build serious roads for people to pass at this time.

It was a great event worthy of praise, but when he saw that everyone's reaction was more enthusiastic than he imagined, he still showed a hint of joy in his eyes. He stretched out his hand to support Yu Liao beside him, then spread his hand out and made a gesture:

"Everyone, please wake up. Although the construction of the road is beneficial, it is not the power of the government alone. It is the contribution shared by you and the government. The post road was built today only because of the efforts of all of you. Manpower is sometimes limited.

Even if the government has three heads and six arms, it will not be possible without the help of all the beloved ministers!" Ying Zheng smiled, he was not like ordinary kings who were overjoyed with great achievements and wished they could take all the glory on themselves. He is a king.

His magnanimity shouldn't have gone down to this level in the first place, not to mention that no one in the world is more noble and in a higher position than him. To compete with his ministers for credit, first of all, he has lowered himself to the level of a minister, and only then can he compare himself with his ministers.

The more capable the minister is, the more things he can share his worries with. In the past few years, Yingzheng has gradually become more stable in his career as king. When he often talks and chats with Yu Liao, he always listens to some of his words. In addition, Han

Although Ying Zheng has a completely different personality from Li Si and others, Ying Zheng is eager to learn, but it can be said that his heart is much clearer than before at this time. If he spreads the credit so generously, everyone will only be more grateful to him.

Be loyal to him and do things for him in the future. His achievements cannot be taken away by others, and they will be recorded in the annals of history. Competing with others for these will not only make people think that he is intolerant, but will also be of no benefit to future generations.

He has long been aware of false reputations. Even if everyone praises them, there will always be some people who can find fault with them. Compared with those false names and let future generations discuss and argue at will, it is better to use them and not care about them.

His reputation was exchanged for his subordinates’ more loyal will.

As soon as Ying Zheng finished speaking, Wei Zhe and others' expressions became more excited as expected, but before they spoke, Ying Zheng had already listed everyone's contribution one by one. Even Li Mu, who was far away in Handan, had

Everyone was really excited about the contribution of transporting corn and financial support. If the character and practice of the princes at this time were followed, if this post road was built by a king from another country, no matter how hard the ministers worked, it would be for the king.

When doing things, all the final credit should go to the prince, but Ying Zheng did the opposite and gave all the credit to everyone. Doesn't it prove that he is extremely humble, treats fame and wealth like dirt, and is also considerate of his subordinates and gives everyone's hard work full credit?

Remember it in your heart? Wei Zhe and others were tired, but now they felt so tired that they were willing to do so. Han Fei recalled the scene when he was ignored by the three generations of Korean kings in Korea, and he was even more moved when he compared it.

Speechless.

Yu Liao couldn't help but feel a little moved. Ying Zheng was neither arrogant nor arrogant at this time, and he had such a big heart. In his opinion, he already met the most basic conditions for a founding emperor. I am afraid that even the first emperor who founded the Zhou royal family

Ji Fa may not necessarily have the self-cultivation and magnanimity he has now. He is still young now. It is conceivable that if this continues in the future, even if he no longer makes any progress, as long as he does not become dull and do whatever he wants in his old age, this

The Qin State has been able to stabilize the world. Even if future generations fail to live up to expectations, if the ancestors have laid down the foundation, it will still be enough for people to squander it for hundreds of years.

A grand road construction event came to an end. Everyone had seen the grand scene that day. Many people were still shocked several days later. It was not until four or five days later that the number of common people lining up early every day to go out and have a look was reduced. After that,

By the seventh or eighth day, after everyone's novelty had faded a bit, the number of people entering and exiting the city every day began to decrease. At this time, various post roads had received the first batch of toll taxes paid by merchants using the post roads, and almost everyone

I chose to pay it once a year. Although each merchant only had to pay two thousand yuan a year, some merchants who even donated more than one hundred thousand yuan even had to pay only one thousand five hundred yuan a year. This first batch of gifts was

There were as many as 150,000 coins in the treasury, which shows how many merchants chose to come to Qin. And through these routes to attract money, Ying Zheng also roughly grasped the number of Qin merchants. Regardless of the size of the merchants, almost all of them were already here with him.
