Which of the uncles, cousins, and cousins ​​who can be the head of the Shen family now besides him is innocent? They or their parents were all part of the people who forced their mother to death and persecuted themselves back then!

What could be more satisfying than watching the Shen family collapse with his own eyes? He only had one life.

How could King Rui know that the familiar Shen Hai in front of him was never what he seemed, and that the money that seemed to him to be a heavy burden was not Shen Hai's burden?

Besides, once the land route is opened, the road to the southwest is no longer the emergency nature of the past, but a real smooth road.

Qin Feng studied the history of the current dynasty and found that there was a lot of thought in building official roads here. There were not only ordinary flat roads, but also the sprouts of future generations of elevated roads, which were called complex roads and pavilion roads.

This kind of road is built on the cliffs and can pass at the same time as the road on the ground, so it is called a compound road. Because it is erected, contemporary people think it looks like a pavilion, so it is also called a pavilion road.

This kind of pavilion road looks like a closed road, with only small windows on both sides of the road to see the outside scenery.

People outside the pavilion road can't see clearly what's going on inside. It's very private. Although no such pavilion road was built this time to build the road to the southwest, and Qin Feng didn't have time to use asphalt and cement, but he used Sanhe soil. .

This kind of triple soil is made of soil, slaked lime, sand, etc. mixed together and tamped and leveled. It has high strength and good water resistance. It is the most suitable material among the available materials at present.

The weather in the southwest is pleasant, but it can be scary when it gets wet. Waterproofing is a top priority. After discussion, the Ministry of Industry finally decided to use Sanhe soil. The results are good, and now there is no problem carrying heavy objects.

The carriage pulled the heavy artillery and weapons to the southwest, and the road remained as new after carrying it.

The officials from the Ministry of Works who went to supervise the work inspected and returned to the palace to report back. The Ministry of Works felt relieved, and so did Qin Feng.

Their navy is now stationed in the southwest sea, and a black flag has been planted. The main part of the maritime fortification project originally undertaken by East Vietnam has been completed, and they will take over next, using the money that Shen Zhantian invited back!

On the sea side, Han Ming was guarding the formation, Yuan Niang was assisting, and Lou Mingyue and Qin Qi were watching the equipment. Qin Feng was almost relieved, but now the focus was on the land side.

Looking at the military report sent by Lin Guogong, with the blessing of machines, the city wall has been built, and the artillery and weapons being escorted are about to be deployed.

As for the southwest and adjacent area, it is called Wu'an. There are eleven counties under Wu'an. The area is not as large as the southwest, but the economy is better than the southwest. Many people who go out to work either go to Wu'an or go directly to the capital or the capital. Jiangbei, Jiangnan.

People from Wu'an have the most contacts with the southwest, whether to visit relatives or do business. There are also many people from the southwest who go out.

The news about this wall has long been spread to Wu'an. The prefect of Wu'an is named Lou Yi. He and Lin Ruzhi had never known each other before. Lou Yi had never been an official in the capital. After he won the Jinshi, he was sent abroad. It was transferred to the prefect of Wu'an and never moved again.

Because it is adjacent to the southwest, Lou Yi saw that the prefects of the southwest changed one term after another, and the people in the southwest became more and more miserable. Many people in the southwest were thinking of ways to naturalize Wu'an, so many women married out to the area.

Lou Yi could not be said to be dissatisfied. It was only after Li Shanzhao's defeat and the court appointed a new prefect that he felt a sense of crisis.

As a neighbor, Wu'an has developed better than the Southwest. This fact is enough for him to have a long-lasting advantage. It is a surprise that someone is at the bottom of his political performance. After Lin Ruzhi came, the Southwest has indeed improved, which is enough to make him feel a sense of crisis.

.

The dynamics of the southwest in the past year or two have left him confused. First, there are fewer women marrying to Wu'an. Second, there are fewer people from the southwest coming to seek work. Not only that, the lives of the people in the southwest seem to be much easier.

?

Hearing that there was no shortage of food and salt, Lou Yi's doubts had not yet been solved. He heard the people below talking about it, saying that a wall had been built in the southwest, and it was not a city wall, but it spanned the official road!

Lou Yi was not happy at that moment. What was this official road used for? Transporting food, marching, and delivering documents were the most important uses. The second place was for civilian use. The people actually used private roads more often.

Private roads are roads built by the local government. They are actually used to pave the way for local people. Due to limited economy and technology, materials such as Sanhe soil are not really available. Most of them are stone slabs. Some are not particular about the dirt roads that have been trampled by humans.

When Lou Yi heard his subordinates mention this, he blurted out: "This Lin Ruzhi is crazy. Who allowed him to do this? Build a city wall across official roads. This is extremely outrageous!"

The master next to him said: "But there is no rule against building on the official road. There is no law that states it. This Magistrate Lin just stole a loophole. The key is that we can't see what the purpose is."

Lou Yi couldn't explain what he felt in his heart. As the saying goes, there must be a monster if something goes wrong. He was on the same level as Lin Ruzhi, so there was no reason to blame him. Since there was no rule that didn't allow it, he couldn't report it to anyone.

After thinking about it, Lou Yi still felt weird and asked the master to find some people to take a look around and report back if anything was wrong.

He is not a gentleman. If Lin Ruzhi is as dishonest as Li Shanzhao, he will be regarded as a whistleblower.

When Lin Guogong and others found someone staring at the city wall, they didn't spend much effort. The other person was not a very smart person and his methods were average.

The first person to discover it was Guo Shitong. He had caught many of these Xiaoxiao people in the past, and it was easy to catch these people. After discovering the abnormality, he did not take action, but went back to report it to Xiao Zhiqing and Lin Guogong.

Lin Guogong is becoming more and more fond of this boy. Who said he has hands but no brains? Isn't this quite calm?

After finding out where this group of people came from, Lin Guogong laughed so hard that he almost spit out his saliva: "This is really a raft that was delivered to our door. We don't use it in vain. Don't they want to stare at it? Let them stare at it. Don't use it."

People were scared away."

Guo Shitong said: "Master Guo, we have done pretty much what we should do. What should we do next?"

"We have to wait." Lin Guogong stroked his beard. He never dreamed that one day he would be able to do whatever he wanted on the territory of East Vietnam, even though it was only a corner of the southwest, and the anger in his heart had dissipated a lot.

Recently, Marquis Wu'an also led troops to come to the rescue. The real father and daughter came to the battle, and Mrs. Marquis Wu'an also came together. Guo Shitong had a strange feeling when he met them occasionally, but Mrs. Marquis Wu'an heard that he had made meritorious deeds before, and she was very interested in him.

His attitude has improved a lot.
