"Did you hear about it, there was a monster over there in the fifth district, what is it called, and many people went to see the excitement."

"Well, I heard from my mother-in-law last night that she happened to be working in District 5, and she saw the city lord get off the train."

When the people around heard about the city lord, they gathered around to inquire about the situation, and in the second district where they were located, they hadn't seen any trains in the past. It's all a little rumor from others.

The man saw the people around him coming and said triumphantly, "I heard that that train can transport more than 10,000 catties of goods at a time, more than a hundred oxen can pull and transport, and there is no need to feed." ”

"You just brag, how can you have such a strong force."

I heard that the train can transport tens of thousands of catties of goods at a time, and I was frightened by the huge transportation power of the train, and I never thought about such a thing.

"I didn't talk nonsense, I heard that the locomotive walks around by burning coal, it's not some fairy means."

As a leader, especially a thief in the imperial court, Chen Zijian doesn't need to worry about someone hindering him if he has any decisions, and someone will complete it for him if he orders it.

Later, when the train entered China, it was resisted, and the reaction of the imperial court at that time was that the construction of the railway would "lose my danger, harm my field, and hinder my feng shui"

Not to mention the future generations, it is the deceased son of heaven who hanged himself on the crooked neck not long ago, and it is not a big official constraint to do something, and it is simply impossible to do something.

Chen Zijian is different, no one dares to have any objection to his resolution, although this is a little more independent, but it can complete things as quickly as possible.

In the government building, Chen Zijian was sitting, and Zhang Youde knocked on the door and came in.

"Chief, a notice has been issued explaining the matter of the train."

Chen Zijian made something like a train silently, if Chen Zijian was not on the train at the time, and there were volunteers riding horses to follow him along the way, the barracks might have pulled out artillery to bombard the monsters.

The train that appeared coldly really scared the top of Zhangjiacheng.

"Hehe, your reaction is a little bigger, and the train can't eat people, as for it!"

Zhang Youde is not the only one in the office, Zhang San, the police chief of Zhangjiacheng, Li Shi, and Li Hu are also present, and they have the style of asking for guilt.

Everyone looked at Chen Zijian with resentment in their eyes, complaining in their hearts, of course, they were still smiling on the surface.

Li Xi was the most depressed present, when Li Xi was doing that little thing with his little wife at home, a group of his guards ran into the room, protected Li Xi and left, leaving the little wife messy in the room, and later explained the matter clearly.

Li Shi's ugliness was ruined among several military commanders, although everyone played with their wives less, but when they were doing that, they were interrupted by a group of people, knowing that it was the kindness of the guards, and Li Shi had no way to find a reason to be angry afterwards.

The guards are reckless, but they have good intentions, and it means that to trouble them, Li Shi is a reasonable person, so naturally he will not anger them, Chen Zijian, who caused the incident, can't do it anymore, nonsense, Chen Zijian is the top boss, and asking him for trouble is not looking for death.

Now a group of people are here waiting for compensation.

Chen Zijian coughed twice, "Everyone is almost open, so let's talk about it." ”

"Everyone has seen the train, I asked the people of the China Construction Bureau to build the railway, using horses as carriages, you should have seen it."

Zhang Youde nodded, others don't know, he is the most situational, after all, he managed a lot of things in Zhangjiacheng, and just started to build a railway. Although he was depressed about Chen Zijian's extravagance and waste of steel, making two iron bars on the ground that did not have much effect.

Later, the horse-drawn train finally understood what Chen Zijian was doing, and the transportation capacity after that was also affirmed by Zhang Youde.

The horse-drawn train can sit on two thousand catties at a time, which is one ton of goods, which is much more efficient than manual carts.

You know, no matter how manpower is transported, the carrying capacity of horsepower trains is still much worse than that of horsepower trains.

Now Chen Zijian has made a steam train again, because of the first delivery, this time he will carry twenty tons of steel back at one time in Shayuan Town.

This is the reason why Zhang Youde is stammering.

Chen Zijian: "Lao Zhang, the completion of the current railway verification shows that the train is effective, and the railway transportation from Zhangjiacheng to Dianbai County is handed over to you." ”

Zhang Youde cried, he had enough things to do, and now Chen Zijian has done another thing for him, fortunately, he can supervise the construction of the railway, and there are good materials for the China Construction Road Construction Bureau that built the railway, he is just the director of the project.

"Understood, chief, the subordinates will arrange it."

In the past, Zhang Youde still claimed to be a certain person in front of Chen Zijian, and the longer he followed Chen Zijian, the more he admired Chen Zijian, and he was used to being a subordinate.

Why did Chen Zijian always emphasize the matter of transportation, and recruited a large number of people as the main force of transportation when there were not enough ox carts and horse-drawn carts?

In addition to the poor transportation in this era, Zhangjiacheng circulated all kinds of materials very frequently and in large quantities. For example, the canned fish and meat in Dianbai County supplies the needs of nearly one million people in Zhangjiacheng, which is a huge workload.

Zhang Youde left, Zhang San followed, he originally came to inquire about the news and belonged to the soy sauce party, and he would not stay for a long time without him.

"What are you guys doing, you don't have to supervise your brother's training."

Hearing Chen Zijian's unkind tone, he immediately frightened several army commanders to leave, Chen Zijian obviously wanted to catch up with people, who would have the courage to stay.

When the train appeared, it startled everyone, and Li Xian made an oolong, which was just a few other jokes.

A special document was placed in front of Chen Zijian, and Chen Zijian went to Shayuan Town yesterday and did not receive it immediately.

The documents related to Li Si are confidential, except for Chen Zijian, others are not qualified to watch it, even if Zhang Youde, the deputy city lord, is also not qualified to understand.

What Chen Zijian asked Li Si to do was a bit appalling, and the less people knew about that kind of thing, the better.

After reading the documents, he tore them up and threw them in the trash can by the way, Li Si's progress was not satisfied, and the second batch of warships transporting the "sinners" in the past brought back what Li Si had done in these days.

Li Si had already gained a firm foothold in Luzon, because it was far from the Spanish stronghold in Luzon, there was no chance yet, and the volunteers and "sinners" sent over were not ready.

At present, according to Chen Zijian's instructions, there is only one choice for cleaning up the indigenous people on the island, except for the young and pleasing indigenous women, and the indigenous men over the age of ten are all within the scope of the cleanup.

The task of bloody killing will set off earth-shattering killings, but fortunately, the current Luzon does not have a population of more than 100 million in later generations, between 200 and 500,000, and if you kill it, you will be killed.

Chen Zijian would not grasp the idea of Luzon natives as slaves, for the simple reason that he did not have any trust in foreign races. Those who are not of my race will have different hearts.

Chen Zijian arrested the people around Maoming County and then gave them good benefits, because they were all Chinese people, and foreigners did not have such preferential treatment.

Li Si's actions on Luzon Island yielded a lot of things, such as gold.

Under the influence of Chinese culture, although Luzon was regarded as a barbarian land by the imperial court, many merchants used to trade, and the natives had a certain understanding of gold and precious metals.

In addition, Luzon is rich in gold, and the natives can find golden sand, dog's head gold and the like in the river.

The indigenous villages cleaned up by Li Si found more than 50,000 taels of gold.

"Someone!"

Chen Zijian gave the warrant to the guards: "Send this to the prison warden of the iron mining area, let him do what he is ordered, and let a regimental volunteer army go over to supervise the prisoners." ”

In Chen Zijian's eyes, the prisoners need to die of exhaustion in the iron mine before they can be thrown into the pit, but these prisoners now have a new way out, and they all go to Luzon to clean up the natives in the past and serve as a pathfinder for the volunteers.

With merit comes freedom, the Volunteers follow behind to reduce casualties.

If the prisoner dies, he dies, Chen Zijian does not need a coin to pay, if the volunteers are killed or injured, there will be a lot of follow-up compensation, Chen Zijian expects more prisoners to appear.

The steam train completed its initial operation, the speed was a little slower, but the carrying capacity was gratifying, with the first steam engine appeared, according to Chen Zijian's character, it must be a mass production.

The steam engine was produced in large quantities, of course, not for all kinds of production activities, and then there were new problems.

Steam engines require large quantities of coal.

The provinces around Zhangjiacheng are not large coal-producing provinces, and the coal resources are less than iron ore.

There is not enough coal, and it is useless for the steam engine to come out, and now a steam train can make do, and if there are more steam engines, it will be unbearable, and the search for coal, iron ore has become the focus.

Fortunately, there is high-quality iron ore on Hainan Island, and the government on the island is even more casual.

The resources of later generations have been ascertained, and there are coal mines in Luzon and the surrounding islands, and the island of Taiwan also has coal, gold, and sulfur resources.

Zhangjiacheng's current development has reached the limit, and a larger source of resources is needed, and Luzon and Taiwan have the resources they need, and they are not unlucky.

The war against the three islands can be said to be driven by the demand of Zhangjiacheng, and if Zhangjiacheng wants to develop, it needs sufficient resources.
