Back to the Three Kingdoms and become a python

After asking, Huang Chengyan was completely stunned. Now each family in Wanghai has at least three books, and they are all made of paper. Paper, which is more expensive than gold in the Central Plains, is a street commodity in Wanghai City. Even children I can take it out casually.

"What is this Lord Dragon God going to do? In this way, wouldn't everyone in Wanghai City be able to read and write?" Huang Chengyan nodded after thinking about it: "It is extremely difficult for Wanghai City to be located in the territory of the Han Dynasty, far away from the Central Plains. Please, so this lord probably wants to cultivate talents by himself, and his ambition is really not small."

Capable, ambitious, and with his special identity, Huang Chengyan was really satisfied at this time, and recognized Lin Bei's potential.

Once approved, Huang Chengyan made a decision. At that moment, he took Huang San out of the west gate, but he didn't see Lin Bei, so he casually asked the sergeant guarding the city: "Where is Lord Dragon God now?"

"Is the old man Cheng Yangong?" the sergeant asked.

"It's the old man."

"Mr. Chengyan, you are polite. Now my Nanshan Road is being built, and my lord is going to the side of Nanshan Road. Please wait a moment, Mr. Chengyan. There will be a steam car dealership going there later, and Mr. Chengyan can go together. "

Huang Chengyan nodded, looked around, saw the cement road, and said in surprise: "Is that the road? Why is it so wide?"

"This is a cement road with a width of five feet, and it is planned to be built to be more than four hundred miles."

Huang Chengyan's heart sank, and he suddenly felt a little bad, thinking that this Lord Dragon God is really a waste of money.

ps: ps: The second update has arrived.

Chapter 252 Sikong Position

Since Huang Chengyan recognized Lin Bei and Wang Haicheng, he had to think from the standpoint of his in-laws, that's why he thought Lin Bei was a prodigal.

Wanghai City was located in the extreme south of the Han Dynasty. Except for Wanghai people, there were no barbarians. Is it necessary to build such a wide road?A road of one or two feet can be walked, but now it has been built to five feet. How much manpower, material resources and money will be wasted?And this road actually needs to be repaired for four hundred miles.

"This road is so wide, but not many people walk it. So much manpower and material resources are wasted, and it takes a long time. Don't your adults feel sad?" Huang Chengyan asked the sergeant. He didn't know if Lin Bei was heartbroken. , he only knows that his heart is hurting now.

The sergeant looked at him very strangely: "What's your heartache? I hope that there are not many people who contributed to this cement road in Haicheng, and it was all built by local slaves. In addition, this road has already been built nearly ten months ago. Two hundred miles, how can it take a long time?"

Although Huang Chengyan was heartbroken, he grasped the key words in the sergeant's words very sensitively: native slaves, ten-month life.

Xu Shu didn't know that there were native slaves in Wanghai City, so he didn't tell Huang Chengyan, so Huang Chengyan asked suspiciously, "What are native slaves?"

"It's the indigenous people behind the Changshan Mountains. They seem to be from the Pufeng tribe, right? Now I Wanghai City has broken through the two tribes of the Pufeng tribe, and captured nearly [-] indigenous people to mine and build roads. This road It was they who repaired it, and I hope the people of the sea don’t need to do it.”

Capture natives as slaves?Huang Chengyan was a little surprised again, because this is very contrary to the orthodox Confucianism of the Han Dynasty today.

Confucianism has been carried forward since Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty abolished Confucianism, and it is also the orthodox thought of the Han Dynasty today.This is only on the bright side, and there are countless dark things in the dark, but even if everyone knows that there is a dark side, many people dare not go against what is on the bright side.

In dealing with foreigners, Confucianism believes that peace with relatives is the best policy, so the Han Dynasty had the famous Zhaojun go out of the fortress.There are many women like Wang Zhaojun in the Eastern and Western Han Dynasties. This is also a commonly accepted practice today. Catching foreigners as slaves?This is contrary to the way of Confucius, and it may happen secretly, but it dare not happen on the surface.

"Your lord really captured the natives and brought them back as slaves?" Huang Chengyan confirmed again.

"Of course, there are more than [-] natives." The sergeant replied affirmatively.

Huang Chengyan didn't know what to say immediately, Lin Bei's actions obviously violated the words of the sage, but what is Lin Bei's identity, this is the Dragon God.And a saint is just a human being, who is right and who is wrong anyway, Huang Chengyan dare not comment, is the saint right?Dragon God is wrong?That would be a thunderbolt, if it is said that the sage is wrong, wouldn't everything he has learned have to be overthrown?

So Huang Chengyan could only refrain from commenting, and act as if he had never heard of this matter, which is also the smartest way.

"By the way, brother, just now you said that it only took ten months to build a road of nearly two hundred miles?"

"That's right. It really only took ten months."

Huang Chengyan's heart doesn't hurt anymore, and he built two hundred miles of roads in just one month.The people who used it were native slaves, which seems to be acceptable. It seems that the Lord Dragon God is not a waste of money, or even though he is a laborer, the one who works is not Wanghai people.

A steam car came from a distance, and the city guard beckoned.The steam car stopped, and the guarding sergeant said to the sergeant driving: "This Cheng Yangong is an honored guest of your lord, brother, let's take a ride."

The driving sergeant nodded: "Please get in the car, but please cover your mouth and nose, the cement is a bit choking."

Huang Chengyan and Huang San got into the car.Immediately felt a pungent smell, Huang Chengyan coughed a few times: "What is this?"

"This is cement. I will use this for road construction." The sergeant started the car again.

"Is this road built with cement?"

"Naturally." The sergeant was not good at words, so he didn't explain much.

Huang Chengyan has heard of using stone slabs and clay to build roads, but he has never heard of using cement to build roads. Of course, this is the first time he has even heard the word cement. He wanted to ask again, but the car The smell was very unpleasant, and some dust entered his mouth when he opened his mouth. Huang Chengyan could only keep the problem in his heart.

The speed of the steam car is not slow. To Huang Chengyan, it is as fast as lightning. Gradually, Huang Chengyan discovered the benefits of the road. This road is really well repaired. The road surface is extremely smooth, and he can't feel any bumps at all. Huang Chengyan thought for a while, even Luoyang City didn't have such a good road, then Huang Chengyan became curious, using indigenous people to build the road, and it only took ten months to build such a good road?Are the native craftsmen so powerful?Pufeng family?It seems to be an uncivilized nation.

Although the road surface is smooth and the speed of the steam car is fast, it still took almost two hours to reach the end, and there is a narrow valley ahead.

There are mountains on both sides of this narrow valley, but this place is the lowest. In the past, there were not many people in Rinan County, so this place was not found until An Zhongzhi sent soldiers to find it. After passing here, there is a forest.

Now the road is being built here, and there are already many steam cars parked here, and some people are removing the cement from the cars. It is hoped that the Haicheng sergeant will be watching.

"So these are the indigenous people." Huang Chengyan thought to himself.

The appearance of the aborigines and the Han people is really different, they are thinner and darker, just like ink. Afterwards, Huang Chengyan felt that something was wrong, and carefully looked at the faces of these aborigines.

"These natives seem to be very happy? Aren't they slaves? Why do they look like this?"

"Dinner is ready!!" When Huang Chengyan was wondering, he heard someone beating the gong and yelling that the meal was ready. The aborigines grinned and showed their big yellow teeth. They really smiled happily. Under the watchful eyes of everyone, they lined up in a long line and moved forward slowly.

Lin Bei's figure came from the front, Huang Chengyan yelled, Lin Bei followed his reputation, and said with a smile: "Mr. Chengyan is here already? Have you eaten?" Lin Bei asked with his mouth.

Huang Chengyan really didn't eat in the morning. Hearing Lin Bei's question, he felt really hungry, so he nodded and smiled, "It's true that he didn't eat."

"Then let's eat together."

Lin Bei crawled over, and Huang Chengyan saw a few workers following behind, and these workers were carrying a cauldron.The pot looked extremely heavy, and there was a big spoon in the pot. The spoon alone was bigger than Huang Chengyan. Huang Chengyan swallowed his saliva: "Is this for adults?"

Lin Bei laughed and said: "Yeah, are you scared? I have a big appetite, come here. Sit down and bring Cheng Yangong some food."

A helper brought Huang Chengyan bowls and chopsticks, including meat, fish, and vegetables. This kind of food is already considered good, but what Huang Chengyan was more curious about was what Lin Bei ate.

Lin Bei rolled up the big spoon with his tail, and scooped it into the cauldron a few times. The movements were extremely skillful. Huang Chengyan could only vaguely see that the spoon was full of meat, but he didn't see any meat.Anyway, it was quite fragrant, and then I poured the meat from the spoon into my mouth. This spoonful alone was probably enough for more than ten people to eat, and it looked extremely scary.

"Eat, the road needs to be built after eating." Lin Bei said after swallowing the meat.

Huang Chengyan smiled wryly, lowered his head and started eating too, but then, Huang Chengyan looked in the direction of the natives.The people living in this land have two bowls, and the bowls are also very big.Dozens of people sat around together, eating happily and chattering, and they talked while eating, but the sergeant didn't care, if he didn't know that they were slaves.Huang Chengyan really couldn't tell.

"My lord, why are these natives so happy? Aren't they captured?" Huang Chengyan was puzzled.

"There is food to eat, so I'm happy." Lin Bei said lightly, "Mr. Cheng Yan should know that the Central Plains is in chaos now. There is even such a thing among the refugees that Yi Zi cannibalize each other. In order not to starve to death, although these natives are slaves, Wanghai City does not strictly limit their diet, they only need to work non-stop every day to get enough food, so how can we not be happy?"

Huang Chengyan didn't expect Lin Bei to say a big deal, but thinking about it, Huang Chengyan also had to nod. The land of Jingxiang can be regarded as a rich area, but even in Jingzhou, many refugees starved to death, let alone those who were ravaged by yellow scarves. Now that he is in the state, Huang Chengyan has also seen a lot of things about selling his sons and daughters in order to have enough to eat. If he can get enough to eat just by working, that is indeed something to be happy about.

"My lord's words are really thought-provoking. I have been educated, and I still have some misunderstandings. Now I realize that although my lord has captured these natives back, I have the grace of life. I am ashamed."

Lin Bei smiled and said: "Don't be ashamed, I'm not as great as you think. I really only wanted to capture them back as labor, and I never thought they would become like this. It was just an accident."

"Whether it's accidental or intentional, such a result shows the benevolence of your lord. No wonder Yuan Zhi is so critical of you."

Capable, ambitious, coupled with a great identity, and now he still has a heart of kindness, Huang Chengyan finally understands why Xu Shuzhi is so devoted to this Lord Dragon God. It is really worth following this Lord.
