Chapter 448: Inspect the West

Kurban meant that he came over suddenly and disturbed Ang Lee's good deeds, so after saying this, he had the intention of leaving the room. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

"The official is fine now, you came at the right time, sit down!"

Li Ang didn't feel disturbed, let Kurban sit down, and continued to hug Mei'er, caressing the soft and smooth skin, completely ignoring Kurban's location, showing off his enjoyment in front of others, it was an indescribable great enjoyment.

Kurban seemed a little uncomfortable, but he was just a small person in front of Li An, and Li An asked him to sit down, and he could only sit down obediently, not daring to disobey in the slightest.

"Kurban, say it! What's the matter with finding this officer? ”

Ang Lee took Mei'er into his arms and stroked Mei'er's little face, with a very enjoyable expression.

Kurban smiled and said: "Li Shilang, there is nothing important in Xia, I am just idle and bored, I want to talk to Li Shilang about the railway, if Li Shilang is not interested now, I will come back in a while." ”

After saying that, I want to leave again.

"It's okay, the official is also bored now, I was trying to talk to you, so you came over, it's good to talk about the railway, let's talk about it! What do you want to talk about. ”

Ang Lee didn't plan to drive Kurban away, chatting with people while being intimate with a beautiful woman, this feeling was the coolest.

Of course, Li An is cool enough, but Kurban on the other side is bitter, there is no beauty in his arms after all, watching Li An caress Mei'er in his arms, he is quite uncomfortable, and he can't wait to find a crack in the ground to get into, but Li An has already spoken, so he can only stay and chat with Li An.

"Li Shilang, I don't know how long it will take for this railway to be repaired to Talas City? The last time the king sent a letter to inquire about the matter, and the tone was so concerned that he did not know how to answer. ”

Kurban said with a smile.

When Li An heard this, he thought for a while, and said: "When the railway can be repaired to Talas, even the official can't be sure, because there are too many uncertain factors, and there is really no way to say the exact time, however, Datang only has 150,000 craftsmen, and if the railway is to be built as soon as possible, Shi Guo must provide enough manpower." ”

The meaning of this statement is very clear, if Shiguo wants to open the railway as soon as possible, it must provide enough manpower, otherwise, the opening of the railway will be delayed.

"Li Shilang, if Shi Guo doesn't provide manpower, how long will it take to repair it? There must be an approximate time! ”

Kurban opened his mouth and asked, after all, the railway system is completely owned by Datang, and the more help Shi Guo provides, the more he feels that he will suffer, although, according to the agreement, Shi Guo must help, but the more help is provided, the higher the cost will be.

"This, whatever, it will take three or five years! The terrain leading to the west is more complicated, and it will definitely take a lot of time to build. ”

Li An opened his mouth and said nonsense.

In fact, with Datang's advanced mechanized team, even without the assistance of Shiguo's manpower, it only takes a maximum of two years to build the railway, Li An said so, it is entirely in order to let Shiguo provide enough human resources to assist Datang's engineering team to build the railway as soon as possible, so that Datang can control the western countries faster and better, and further strengthen itself, of course, Shiguo's businessmen can also do better business, so as to earn more wealth.

"Three or five years, how can it take so long, the construction of the railway in Datang is very fast, how can it take three or five years as soon as you arrive in the west."

Kurban asked suspiciously.

"Kurban, this official has just said that there are only 150,000 craftsmen sent by the Tang Dynasty to Shiguo to repair the railway, and when they are in China, there are millions of people along the way, and they all have to help, so that it can be built quickly, if you Shiguo does not provide enough manpower, the speed of building the railway will definitely be much slower."

Li An said seriously.

"Li Shilang, the national strength of our Shi country cannot be compared with that of the Tang Dynasty, and at most 300,000 people can be transferred, I don't know if the railway can be repaired within a year."

Kurban asked.

Li An thought about it for a while, and said: "The pressure is still too great within a year, if Shiguo can provide 300,000 reliable manpower, within two years, the railway will definitely be able to repair Talas, if you are lucky, you may be able to repair Tuozhi City, however, in addition to helping me Datang in manpower, you must also help in terms of material resources, in addition to the rails, the railway also needs sleepers, solid wood and cement columns, you have to provide a lot, Datang has already taught you the technology of cement and concrete for free, Of course, you have to give something in return. ”

Regarding cement and concrete, because the technical difficulty is too low, and it is very cumbersome, even if the technology is blocked, it does not make much sense, so the Tang Empire very politely gave this low-end technology to Shiguo and Kangguo and other countries in the river for free, of course, this is also because these small countries have made huge concessions to Datang, and all the places where the railway passes are divided into Datang territory, so Datang also has to give them some benefits.

In addition, although the railway line is the land of Datang, but the local people still have the right to step in, especially the people along the railway, of course, you can climb over the tracks, otherwise, how do you let the family live, in addition, for the sake of safety, many densely populated areas have built viaducts, so that the local people can cross the rails through the viaducts, which can not only ensure safety, but also reduce the interference to the railway operation.

"We have to provide so much help to build a railway for Datang, but the final benefits are all Datang's, which seems to be a bit ......"

Kurban's mood is a little unhappy, this is also normal, it is Shiguo who contributes, but in the end all the rights and interests are from the Tang Empire, they have lost huge rights and interests, of course they will be very unhappy, but considering that after the railway is built, they will get huge benefits in commerce and trade, which makes their hearts a little more balanced.

Of course, Li An knows that Kurban's heart is unbalanced, but Shi Guo is only a small country, except for being manipulated by the Tang Dynasty, there is no better way, if the Tang Empire is angry and builds the railway to the southern line, in the future, the merchants of the East and the West will definitely abandon the land in the river, after all, the transportation cost of the railway is far lower than that of camels, so of course, the merchants have to choose the railway, and in this way, the countries in the river that were originally used as trade transit stations will completely lose their commercial status, and the people of these small countries will not only do business, Other aspects are really not very good, so for the countries in the river, they must not lose the trade transit station, that is to say, they must not let the Tang Empire build the railway to the southern line, so they can only sacrifice huge rights and interests in exchange.

"Kurban, my friend, it's not right for you to think like this, have you ever thought about what status your Shiguo will get once the railway is built, in terms of security, the soldiers and horses of the Tang Dynasty can quickly enter the Shiguo through the railway, in order to protect your safety, in trade, you have the railway, and the merchants of the East and the West have to pass through here, so it is impossible for you not to prosper, am I right? Mei'er girl. ”

Li An said and suddenly kissed Mei'er's small mouth, feeling the refreshing feeling brought by Mei'er's small mouth.

Mei'er is the little lady of Shiguo after all, and when she heard this, she didn't nod, but pouted, looking a little displeased, but she didn't get angry.

"What's the matter, dare to pout at Ah Lang, you should be beaten."

Li Anwan smiled and pinched Mei'er's little buttocks hard.

"Ahh

Mei'er was taken aback, and then immediately spoke: "Ah Lang is right, once the railway is built, Shiguo will be very prosperous." ”

"Kurban, have you heard it, even Mei'er can understand this truth, how can you not understand? You have to learn from Mei'er. ”

Ang Lee said with a smile.

"Yes, yes, what Li Shilang taught is that this is indeed the truth, if there is no Tang Dynasty, there will be no today in our Shi Kingdom, the kings and people of our Shi Kingdom are very grateful to the Tang Dynasty, after the railway is opened, the life of the people of our Shi Country will be better."

Kurban licked his face and laughed.

In front of Li An, he really didn't dare to be tough, he could only follow Li An's wishes, otherwise, Li An would definitely be very angry, and in this way, the consequences would be more serious, although Li An is not the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, but sometimes it is more feared than the emperor, all the advanced machinery in the Tang Dynasty was invented by Li An, this is the strength.

After talking for a while, Li Ang felt a little tired, so he made a casual move, asked Kurban to go down, and lay on the sofa, stretched out a leg and put it on Mei'er's leg, and let Mei'er massage and relieve his fatigue.

Lying on the soft sofa, looking sideways at the moving scenery outside the window, feeling Mei'er's massage, this feeling is so refreshing, Li Ang really hopes that this train will never reach the end, so that you can always enjoy this comfortable feeling.

"Ah Lang, Mei'er is tired, Ah Lang should also press Mei'er!"

Mei'er pouted, put her full chest on Ang Lee's arm, and kept shaking, making Ang Lee more refreshing.

"Okay, Mei'er lie down and let Ah Lang massage you."

Ang Lee smiled evilly, turned over and pressed Mei'er Xiaoniang under him, and really massaged, but Ang Lee's massage was accurately said to be stroking, enjoyment, not labor.

After massaging Mei'er for less than a moment, Li Ang couldn't bear it, and directly revealed his most primitive nature, on the long-distance train, he pampered Mei'er, and the sound of beauty floated all the way along the railway line, leaving the best memories on this newly created line.

A few days later, the train arrived at the Diao Cheng Railway Station, although this is not the end point, the westernmost terminal station is Shule Town, but the next step to the west of the railroad starting point, is the Diao Cheng City, so, Li An must come to the Diao Cheng to inspect to see how the construction of the railway station in the Diao Cheng City is, in addition, but also to the western Bodaling area to investigate, to see if the railway line formulated by the craftsmen is reasonable, whether there is anything that needs to be improved.

Due to the location of the western hub of the Datang Railway, for this reason, the imperial court attaches great importance to the transfer of the city railway station, and has given a lot of support, whether it is the scale of the railway station or various configurations, it is very high-end, compared with the Chang'an City West Railway Station is not weak at all, it is the railway station that Datang can say.

"Welcome Li Shilang to Anxi for inspection."

A tower-like man, standing at the door of the car, respectfully welcomed Ang Lee.

Li An recognized this person, it was the Tang Dynasty's Anxi Du Gao Xianzhi, a person from Goguryeo, brave in battle, courageous, is a rare general, a few years ago led an elite army to attack Xiao Bolu, fighting Tubo all over the ground to find teeth, and then, it didn't take long for Tubo to be wiped out, of course, the destruction of Tubo did not have Gao Xianzhi anything, but the attack on Xiao Bolu was very beautiful, it is a very successful example, if it is placed in later generations, it can be written into the textbook, of course, Gao Xianzhi's classic battle example, has been written into the textbooks of later generations, As an important example of military academies for students to discuss and analyze.

"Gao Duhu, it seems that we haven't seen each other for many years, how are we doing?"

Li An walked off the train with a smile and said hello to Gao Xianzhi, I haven't seen you for many years, Gao Xianzhi is still so tough, and her expression is still cold, but when she saw Li An, she opened her mouth and smiled.

"Thank you Li Shilang for your concern, although the conditions in Anxi are a little more difficult, there is no shortage of food and drink, especially after the railway is repaired, everything is sufficient, and the life of our Anxi soldiers is good?"

Gao Xianzhi's complexion is very good, obviously very satisfied with the current standard of living, after the railway is built, the supply of the Anxi army has been greatly improved, and the life of the soldiers is indeed much better than before.

"It's good to have a good life, only when the soldiers have a good life, the Tang Dynasty can be more stable, the battle of Gaoduhu's Xiaobolu is very good, and a surprise attack will win a big victory."

Li An opened his mouth and praised.

"This is not thanks to Li Shilang's artillery, during the expedition, the last general only brought two cannons, and easily broke through the vine bridge reinforced by Xiao Bolu and Tubo, and blew him up with one shot, not to mention how refreshing it was, hahaha!"

Gao Xianzhi is a rough person, and he looks very hearty when he laughs, without the slightest concealment.

"No matter how powerful the artillery is, it is just a tool, and it is the courage of the high capital to protect people, so that it can easily achieve victory."

Li An continued to praise Gao Xianzhi, and changed the topic: "By the way, Gao Duhu, in the future, the railway will lead to the land in the river, and at that time, the responsibility of the Anxi Army will be greater, the area of responsibility will be expanded several times, and the courage of Duhu will be heavier." ”

Gao Xianzhi looked disappreciative, and said: "Li Shilang, this cannon is available, what pressure is not pressure, if anyone is not satisfied, transfer a few cannons over, and directly hit him, looking at the entire surrounding area of Anxi, there is no one who can be called an opponent." ”

"Haha! This is also true, the Anxi Army is equipped with two artillery brigades, and there is really no country capable of competing with Gaoduhu. ”
