I Want To Be Qin II

It is imperative to go to Jiaming.

Although asphalt and gravel paving is very good, Ying Gao also wants to witness it with his own eyes. Even if he doesn't know much about asphalt and gravel paving, he knows more than Gong Shuqing and others.

Although it is not necessary to control the whole process, it is also necessary to control the key points in the process so that Gong Shuqing and others can avoid detours.

Time is money, and that applies at all times.

Looking at the young man who seemed to have light in his eyes, Meng Tian was silent for a while. He was naturally aware of Ying Gao's current status. As long as he deceived the public loser, he would only lose Ying Gao's prestige instead of gaining any benefits.

For Ying Gao, there are only disadvantages and no benefits to cheating the public and losing the minister.

At Yinggao's position, there is no need to tell lies. The current Yinggao no longer needs to attract anyone's attention.

Thoughts flickered for a moment, Meng Tian turned to Ying Gao and said, "My lord, where do you know these things?"

For Ying Gao, until today, Meng Tian has been curious in his heart, this young man seems to be able to know him from birth.

He knew in his heart that there were no answers to some questions, but there were answers in Ying Gao's place. In Meng Tian's eyes, Ying Gao was powerful and mysterious.

Taking a look at Meng Tian, ​​Ying Gao chuckled and said, "General, spying on other people's secrets is not a good habit!"

In Ying Gao's view, even if he explained it to Meng Tian, ​​Meng Tian would not understand much. In this case, it is better not to explain, because explaining will often bring out other problems.

Rather than waiting for the future to explain clearly, it is better to cut off from the beginning.

"Uh, hahaha..."

Laughing awkwardly, Meng Tian cupped his hands towards Ying Gao, and said in a solemn tone, "Master, Meng Tian is rude."

For Meng Tian, ​​exploring other people's secrets in private is something that shouldn't happen. The reason why he can't help himself is that Ying Gao is too evil.

"General, I will go ahead with Wang Jiaming first, and then I will talk about other things. Once this matter is over, I can go south to the extreme south and praise my great Qin Tianwei!"

Ying Gao just warned Meng Tian in the process of joking, and he never took this matter to heart.

From the very beginning, his performance was too outstanding and different from ordinary people. It is the most normal thing to be alerted by others, and it would be strange if people in the world take it for granted.

"good!"

Seeing that Ying Gao did not pursue it, Meng Tian was also relieved. After all, Ying Gao is not an ordinary person, and his power is useless to Ying Gao. Once he is investigated, it will not end.

What's more, the matter of going north to Jiaming is closely related to him.

Although Ying Gao proposed the construction of the Chi Road, he was ultimately responsible for the implementation, and if it could not be completed as scheduled, it would be his responsibility.

Ying Gao's going north this time is helping him, so naturally it cannot be the case that Ying Gao is willing to go, but he is not.

.........

Under the guard of Iron Eagle Ruishi, the four of them,

Heading towards Jiaming, both Gong Shuqing and Meng Tian were extremely concerned about the matter of Bitumen.

If the asphalt and gravel really have the effect that Ying Gao said, no matter the Bashu Road in Xianyang will be completed as soon as possible, the same method can be used on all major roads in Daqin in the future.

Yes, they are full of eagerness.

"drive........."

As he galloped out of the horse, the dust on the official road was flying, forming a long dragon, and at a glance, the momentum was extraordinary.

Three days later, Ying Gao and his party arrived at Longmen Mountain in the north of Jiaming.

He remembers very clearly that later generations will call it the No. 1 black mine in China, with a reserve of about 10 million tons. As long as this vein is found, let alone a small Xianyang Bashu Road, it will be one of the five great gallops of the Great Qin Empire in the future. Dao didn't say anything more.

"Hoo!"

Reining in the reins, the horse's front hooves rose due to the force, and it lasted for a while before it fell heavily on the ground. Tie Ying rode forward, and said to Ying Gao.

"General Ying, three miles ahead is the land that the locals call Longmen Mountain. The same people as us, Jing Yesi's people have found out that there is indeed the kind of 'asphalt' that General Ying described."

"Order the army to speed up, and we will set up camp near Longmen Mountain!"

"promise."

Nodding his head in agreement, Tie Ying turned his horse's head and shouted at the army: "Soldiers, General Ying ordered the army to advance faster and set up camp at the boundary of Longmen Mountain!"

"drive........"

With one order, the army ran rampant, and the speed increased all of a sudden. After only an hour, they had already set up camp at the bottom of Longmen Mountain.

Here, there are towering ancient trees and thousands of miles of vegetation.

"General Ying, there is only one village here, and on top of Longmen Mountain, there is an ancestral hall..."

Glancing at Tie Ying, Ying Gao waved his hand and said, "Contact with the people from Jing Yesi, and then go to the mining area they have excavated."

"promise."

Nodding in agreement, Tie Ying turned and left. A moment later, Jing Yesi, a commander in chief, came in a hurry, bowed solemnly to Ying Gao, and said.

"Subordinate, Niu Lang, the commander-in-chief of Jing Yesi, has seen General Win!"

"Um!"

Nodding his head slightly, Ying Gao smiled lightly at Niu Lang, and said, "Tie Ying has something to say, Jing Yesi's people found a vein of asphalt here, I wonder if there is such a thing?"

"Reporting to General Ying, it is true!"

Niu Lang cupped his hands at Ying Gao, and said, "This place is in Caojiagou not far from Longmen Mountain. It has already been mined, but the people in Jingyesi are not professionals, they just confirmed the authenticity."

"The specific situation has not been determined..."

Hearing this, Ying Gao breathed a sigh of relief, as long as he found it, even if the reserve is not much, as long as it meets the Xianyang South Road, it is enough, not to mention, the next Daqin will naturally practice coke.

In this way, even if there are not many asphalt reserves here, it will not have much impact on Daqin.

The most important thing at the moment is the South Xianyang Road.

Thinking of this, Ying Gao smiled at Niu Lang, and said, "Take this to pass, Gong Shuqing is a master craftsman of Shang Workshop, and Ying Gao has a way to deal with it!"

"promise."

Following Niu Lang, Ying Gao also had a certain understanding of the topography of Longmen Mountain. The road here is okay, which is good news for Gong Shuqing and others.

The terrain is open, which means that it is easy to transport after mining, which will save a lot of time.

.........

Half an hour later, Ying Gao and his party arrived at the so-called Caojiagou. Looking at the abandoned ground and the sticky asphalt in the deep pit, Ying Gao couldn't help but smile.

"Master Gongshu, this is asphalt, you can study it a little bit!" Having said that, Ying Gao warned Gongshuqing and the others, "This thing is flammable. Once it is ignited, it is difficult to extinguish. Let the soldiers be careful." , don't let open flames get close!"
