Although there are many and busy working people, they are not very chaotic. Under the command of the foreman, they perform their own duties and do their own work.

There were shouts of scolding, but there were fewer beatings and scoldings, and there were no whips, beats of sticks, and screams and howlings of the civilians.

Li Sipang kept amazement along the way. Such an orderly construction scene and such a large scene of thousands of people were not as chaotic as he thought.

"Qi Lin is such a good method." Li Sipang exclaimed sincerely, "As such a large project is organized so well and orderly, it is probably difficult for anyone to do the ministers and workers in the court to do it, right?"

Helan Chushi also had to admire him. He is really capable, no wonder he has a bad temper and a tough attitude. He is absolutely inferior to him, and no wonder he can call him around.

With this little ability, I still want to seize power in Dayingku. It’s ridiculous. I am ridiculous, and the prince and Du He are also ridiculous.

A long sloped mountain road is covered with mud mixed with gravel, and a wide step road was built on both sides of the road. It is obvious that it is for the convenience of walking, and it is very convenient for pulling horses and pulling carts uphill.

After walking through this uphill road, I turned and continued to move upwards, and I had already climbed halfway up the mountain. This land route that bypassed the dangerous pillars extends forward along the hillside, with trees along the road, like two green walls.

The gravel dirt road is still there, and it has basically been completed, leaving only the support beside the road and some drainage ditches that have not been dug. What comes and goes is a unicycle, carrying wood stones on it.

A flat and wide area appeared next to the road ahead, with two or three wooden huts. In front of the house were working people, sawing wood and repairing stones, and the sound of jingling echoed in the mountains.

"Road maintenance place." Li Sipang looked up at the sign on the cottage and smiled: "Qi Lin's handwriting, it's really a pity to hang it here--a pity, it's a pity."

Helan Chushi echoed a few words and guessed: "Maintenance of roads means maintaining roads, right?"

Li Sipang nodded and said, "It should be so. Qi Lin thought carefully and maintained frequently. The road will not be disrepaired or in ruins or ragged."

After pausing, Li Sipang said thoughtfully again: "Wouldn't it be better if there are such personnel who specialize in maintenance on other roads?"

Helan Chushi agreed, but thought in his heart: Is it necessary to set up an institution and add full-time staff? Is the court willing to pay this money? Is it still cost me all year round?

Boom, boom, boom... The continuous explosion sounded, because it was not far away, Li Sipang and others felt even more amazing.

The deafening sound echoed in the mountains, and the feet were trembling. The horse was a little frightened and neighed. Several guards rushed over and took a lot of effort to soothe the horse.

Li Sipang's face turned so scared that he changed his color. He accepted the guard's suggestion and got off the horse. The accompanying official hurriedly found a wheelbarrow and asked Li Sipang to ride forward.

After a while, everyone had arrived at another wide open space, with wooden houses and signs, but it said "Freight Loading Point".

"After these steps, you will be the lifting platform." The young official pointed and said, "The official will send someone to notify Xu Cheng to see if it is convenient for him to come down and talk to the prince."

Li Sipang didn't care and said with a smile: "That's right. If Xu Cheng is too busy, it's okay to wait for a while."

Helan Chushi grinned secretly, looking at the relationship between them and what the little official said. If it were someone else, he would have come to accompany him happily.

On the platform, Xu Qilin directed the civilians to clean up the gravel and soil. Seeing that it was basically in line with his own ideas, there was only a small place that needed to be chiseled and repaired, and no longer had gunpowder to be blasted.

After the lifting platform is completed, the gantry crane that can move forward and backward is in place, so the materials needed can be transported directly from here, saving much effort.

As for the conveying device for transporting to the loading point below, it is also very simple. A row of sliding log wheels are installed on a rack of dozens of meters. The grain can be thrown up and can slide to the bottom with the action of gravity.

Well, a row of closed or semi-enclosed sheds should be built above the conveyor belt to avoid getting wet; the hoisting platform should also be built in this way, making it more convenient to work.

Xu Qilin carried his hands behind his back and walked around a messy platform, and then he wanted to go downstairs to rest. The civilians were working, and the supervisors pretended to behave were not required. They all thought they were in the way.

At this moment, the little official ran up to inform him that His Highness King of Wei had already gone up the mountain and was waiting in the loading area below.

Four fat guys, how did he climb up? Xu Qilin then thought, what is his identity? It is not uncommon to carry it up in a sedan chair!

Following the steps to the loading area, Xu Qilin saw Li Sipang resting on a chair next to the wooden house.

After not seeing each other for nearly a month, Li Sifa seemed to have lost weight. Xu Qilin was not sure, and he was guessing in his heart, could this guy listen to his tactful weight loss advice?

"Your Highness, the emperor is polite." Xu Qilin was not too slow when he came down, but now he still had to pretend to behave, take a few steps quickly, and greet him.

"Forget it, for free." Li Sipang smiled and waved his hand, pointed to the chair next to him, and said, "Thank you for your hard work, sit and rest."

Helan Chu Shi stepped forward and greeted Xu Qilin again, but he stepped aside tactfully and chatted with several guards.

After thanking Xu Qilin, he sat down to drink tea and started chatting with Li Sipang.

"Following the progress, the completion will be almost completed in ten days and half a month." Li Sipang said: "This is much earlier than planned."

Xu Qilin smiled and said, "By relying on the strong help of Your Highness, the supply of personnel and materials must be completed in time."

Li Sipang smiled and said, "Don't say these empirical words, Qi Lin always planned well, he just did his best."

After pausing, Li Sipang lowered his voice and asked, "Qi Lin made such a loud noise, deafening, and the stones were flying and smoke were flying. I don't know how to use it-" Some people didn't know how to speak, Li Sipang's hand slashed in the air a few times.

Xu Qilin also lowered his voice and said, "This is the secret recipe for stone-fried by his master. It is composed of sulfur, saltpeter, and charcoal, and it is very powerful."

Li Sipang blinked and said, "So that's it. There are many rumors outside. Some say that they are summoning Thunder God to help, and some say that they are using the Five Thunder Dao Method. I believe that there are rumors in Chang'an that will send people to ask."

Xu Qilin nodded and said, "This one has already expected, it is not a big deal, just explain it clearly."

Li Sipang loosened and said with a smile: "That's good. Qi Lin must have known that the court has banned the third-level sect. Now the "Minsheng Daily" is famous and everyone knows it."

Although Li Sipang said it a bit exaggeratedly, the ban on the third-level religion did make the reputation of "Minshengbao" soar.

There is nothing else. The articles of anti-Buddhist are published, and they are the first to attack monks, and then the court will issue a ban. Anyone who is interested will guess that the court behind the "Minist Voice" is His Majesty, His Majesty and the mouthpiece of the court, reflecting their will.

In this way, if you read the newspaper carefully and figure out the policy direction of Your Majesty and the court, will you make fewer mistakes and less detours?

Political correctness is the most important thing for officials. Your Majesty thinks that way, but you say the opposite, do it the opposite, would you think you would be slow to die?

The literati and scholars must also think about the articles they write should not go against His Majesty’s intentions and should not sing opposites to the court.

In ancient times when information was underdeveloped, a newspaper that could serve as a weather vane suddenly appeared. From it, you can understand the trends of the court and the guidance of policies, which is of course worthy of careful study.

For literati who have not yet had an official position, if they can develop articles in newspapers, not only can powerful officials see them, but even His Majesty read them. This is more convenient and effective than throwing papers with a shy face. Maybe they will have the luck of jumping into the dragon gate and joining the king and his subjects!

Xu Qilin pursed his lips and smiled faintly: "Your Majesty should send someone to supervise and manage the "People's Voice". How can it be published and mislead the people if it is contrary to the court's policies and regulations?"

Li Sipang nodded and said, "This is true. At least the genuine article needs to be reviewed. The secondary version of the advertisement and story serialization is irrelevant."

Xu Qilin picked up the teacup and drank two sips, and asked casually: "Your Highness, how is the compilation of "Kuotuzhi"? Your Highness Guan's reputation should be completed quickly and well."

Li Sipang said with a slight look on his head, "I have sent people to various places to learn from the classics and spread the geography, and ask for old stories, so I must compile a masterpiece."

Xu Qilin asked again: "How can the court deal with the third-level religion be prohibited?"

Li Sipang said: "The Huadu Temple in Chang'an was taken over to the court, and the ceremonial field, the elderly care home, the sick care workshop, property, land and house, the six animals, etc., and the money was sold and academies were established to provide food and accommodation for the children in Beijing. The Fuxian Temple in Luoyang was set up, and the father asked someone to deal with it by himself."

After pausing, Li Sipang said, "I also want to deal with it according to Chang'an's method. What do Qi Lin think?"

Xu Qilin nodded and said, "In Luoyang, the academy can be changed into a library, and the rest of Xiao Guicao can be as good as possible."

Li Sipang thought about it, and Jawshou agreed. It is better to give him a son a favor, but he should not bear the suspicion of being a prince.

"Love Buddha but not the world, hehe." Xu Qilin sneered a few times and said, "The other monks should have awakened, right?"

Li Sipang shrugged and said, "Forbidden the third-level sect is a wake-up call for them. If you are still obsessed with it, it is not uncommon to repeat the two martial arts to destroy Buddhism."

"Your Highness doesn't like monks either?" Xu Qilin asked with a smile, the meaning of ridicule was obvious.

Li Sipang smiled and said, "Who is a real monk everywhere? This is the eight-character mantra that Qi Lin said!"

Xu Qilin and Li Sipang looked at each other and burst into laughter.

Did Li Sipang come out and want to stay for a night before returning to Luoyang? Although it is a remote mountain, there are always places to live, and he would not be too wrong with His Royal Highness, the prince.

Xu Qilin accompanied Li Sipang to visit the lifting platform, then went down the mountain together, staying in a newly built house in Longyan Village.

This house will be the office location of Dayingku. Xu Qilin will use the roads built to organize a transportation team. Road construction fees are not allowed, so it is always okay to transport goods and make some money.

Xu Qilin was able to foresee the busyness on this road, with north-south merchants and goods transported from north to south, and the exchange of goods in Jianghuai, Guanzhong, will be the main channel.

It was almost dusk, and Wu Song, Li Wuzhong and others who went out to hunt came back exhausted.

There were a few wild animals, some flying from the sky and running from the ground, but Li Wuzhong complained unwillingly, mainly because Xu Qilin made too loud noise, which scared the birds and beasts away.

"Haha, this is indeed a fault." Xu Qilin didn't care and asked Wu Song and others to wash and peel wild animals and make a decent meal to entertain Li Sipang. He led Li Wuzhong and introduced it to Li Sipang.

Although Li Simo was a prince, Li Sipang didn't like his son, but seeing Xu Qilin had a good relationship with this kid, he gave him some face.

Li Wuzhong is young and has a simple mind. He does not have such strict concepts of hierarchy and rank, and is not restricted and afraid. After chatting for a few casual words, he ran to barbecue and ate it.

Li Sipang thought about something again, which was the road maintenance department and asked how Xu Qilin operated and whether it could be promoted and implemented in other places.

Xu Qilin felt that Li Sipang had really changed a lot and could notice such things, so he explained: "This road maintenance site is divided into two parts, which means that this section of the road is divided into two sections equally, and the people are assigned to Cangxia Village and Longyan Village respectively."

After pausing, Xu Qilin continued: "As for the remuneration, I am going to request the court to exempt some rent and transfer instead. If the court does not allow it, I will withdraw it from the income from the transporter's goods. Of course, the court may have other considerations and choices, but it is definitely not possible to not maintain the road."

Li Sipang praised Xu Qilin's method and said, "It's just that some rent reduction and exemption will save money and effort, which is not better than another transfer? I think the court will definitely allow it, and I also want to implement it in Luozhou according to this. What do Qi Lin think?"

Xu Qilin pondered for a moment and said, "This method is very good. The roads can be maintained without increasing the burden on the villages and towns along the road. Your Highness can submit a report to the court and add the ones here together, which can be called a pilot."

Li Sipang was stunned for a moment, then understood what Xu Qilin meant, and bowed with embarrassment, "I'll thank you first."

Xu Qilin's words were very clear. This method of maintaining the road may be a contribution. If it is generalized, the road situation across the country will improve. He gave this contribution to Li Sipang, and the court considered it through his report.

Xu Qilin smiled and waved his hand, saying, "Your Highness, you don't need to be so polite. This project will be a great contribution to the recruitment of labor and materials."

After blinking, Xu Qilin continued, "I heard that the Endless Treasure of the Third Level Sect also lends money, because the interest rate is low and can be returned from time to time, which is very popular among the people."

Li Sipang obviously didn't know very well. After all, when public opinion attacked the third-level sect, Xu Qilin learned a lot.

"Qi Lin has any ideas about this?" Li Sipang asked in confusion.

Xu Qilin scratched his head and said, "I haven't thought it thoroughly yet. When I think about it carefully, I will talk to Your Highness. Perhaps, this is another good thing that will benefit the world and the people."
