Two years, more than 2,000 miles of railway, this is really a bit exaggerated, you know, on average, you have to build three or four miles a day, how many people, and how much money!

Fortunately, the railway at this time was relatively simple to repair, that is, to dig a foundation, pave stones, and then pave sleepers and rails, and there was no need to lay any auxiliary facilities such as electrical wiring.

Moreover, at this time, labor is also relatively easy to find, free, and a lot of people who serve in labor can be found, and if you pay for it, you can find a lot of it.

However, there is a premise for the conscription of free labor, and the premise is that you have the right to command the state officials along the railway, otherwise it is impossible for people to call you free labor.

Although Yang Cong has a lot of money, he doesn't have enough money to the extent of a fever, and if he can recruit free labor, it is naturally better to be free, and when building the railway, there is still the problem of occupying arable land and relocating ordinary people, which also requires a certain amount of power.

Therefore, after he boasted about Haikou, he immediately pretended to be embarrassed: "Your Majesty, there is a saying, Weichen doesn't know whether to say it or not." ”

This means that he wants something, Jiajing has long been familiar with the routine of the courtiers below, and he said without hesitation: "If there is anything that should not be said, you can come and hear it." ”

When Yang Cong heard this, he explained in detail: "Your Majesty, the railway from the capital to Chengtianfu will be repaired within two years, and the state capitals along the way must cooperate vigorously, such as recruiting laborers, and such as expropriating arable land along the way, etc., there are a lot of troubles, if the state governments along the way do not cooperate, then this railway, let alone two years, I am afraid that it will not be repaired in twenty years." ”

This means that you want power, Jiajing understood as soon as he heard this, he also intended to let Yang Cong come back, this kid is very capable, so he retired like this, it's a pity.

He thought so, but Yan Song and Xia Yan on the side didn't think so.

When Yan Song heard this, he was about to deal with Xia Yan and pull Xia Yan off the horse, but Yang Cong suddenly gave him such a play, if Yang Cong really came back, would it be good for him to clean up Xia Yan?

When Xia Yan heard this, he also chuckled in his heart, Yang Cong is a fierce rival, this guy was finally rectified by them, and he wanted to make a comeback in the name of repairing the railway, which was really a little annoying.

Of course he didn't want Yang Cong to come back, because once Yang Cong came back, he would definitely be able to take away the position of the first assistant to his cabinet in time, which he never doubted, because Yang Cong was really powerful.

As for Yan Song, he hadn't found out that Yan Song was plotting behind his back, and he was ready to clean him up.

At this moment, in his eyes, Yan Song is still his right-hand man.

As everyone knows, Yan Song is the one who wants his life the most, and Yang Cong's comeback can save his life!

This Yan Song and Xia Yan were thinking about how to prevent Yang Cong from coming back, just right, at this time, the whistle sounded again, and the fire dragon car drove over again, Jiajing did not stop at this time, Yang Cong naturally would not let Wang Xuan stop the fire dragon car.

Yan Song squinted his eyes, looked at the roaring fire dragon car, and suddenly came up with a way in his heart, and when the fire dragon car disappeared again, he gave his hand to Jiajing, who was still unfinished: "Your Majesty, there is a saying, Weichen doesn't know whether to say it or not." ”

What does this guy mean?

Jiajing looked at Yang Cong, and suddenly understood in his heart, this guy probably wanted to say bad things about Yang Cong.

The infighting between the ministers is his favorite thing to see, it's good to fight, I'm here to be a referee for you!

He said without hesitation: "Weizhong, what's wrong, you say." ”

Yan Song also looked at Yang Cong, and then said cautiously: "Your Majesty, Weichen feels that there is a big problem with the fire dragon car made by Lord Yang, and it is not suitable for sitting on patrol." ”

Yes!

Big problem with the dragon car?

In these years, what is the emperor most afraid of, that is, of course, he is afraid of death, and he doesn't dare to do the problematic dragon car.

When Jiajing heard this, he couldn't help but ask with a solemn face: "Oh, what's the problem?" ”

Yan Song said solemnly: "This problem is actually obvious, Weichen looks at this fire dragon car, the big is big, but there are not many people who can sit down, even if it is tightly crowded, at most two or three hundred people can sit down, if the emperor sits on it, it naturally can't be squeezed, so the emperor can bring one or twenty attendants at most to sit up, and the others, I'm afraid they have to follow on both sides of the car." And the speed of this dragon car must be galloped to keep up, and according to Lord Yang's words, this dragon car is tireless, and there is no need to stop at all. This problem is big, the war horse has to stop and repair after running for hundreds of miles, if the fire dragon car rides away from the dust, how can the emperor's safety be guaranteed? ”

Jiajing really didn't expect this question, you know, every time he goes on patrol, the guards accompanying him are at least more than 5,000, usually tens of thousands or even tens of thousands, and this fire dragon car can sit two or three hundred people at most, two or three hundred people, can protect his holy car?

He expressed serious doubts, you know, the average anti-thief can gather at least a thousand people, if they are intercepted by the anti-thief at that time, it is not a dead death!

Thinking of this, he said with a little displeasure: "Qingfeng, what Weizhong said is very reasonable, this fire dragon car is driving so fast, how can I ensure my safety?" ”

When Yang Cong heard this, he couldn't help but smile bitterly, what is this.

He couldn't help but glance at Yan Song with contempt, and then explained unhurriedly: "Your Majesty, what Weichen is asking you to see at this time is just a sample of the fire dragon car, and it is just a dragon head. ”

When Jiajing heard this, his face returned to excitement, and he asked with interest, "Oh, how many more can you add." ”

Yang Cong estimated: "According to the current strength, it should not be a problem to add ten sections, if the strength is doubled, it will not be a problem to add twenty sections, that is to say, a complete fire dragon car can carry four or five thousand people." ”

Four or five thousand guards, but barely made do, Jiajing heard this, nodded slightly, and was about to open his mouth to answer the matter of repairing the railway, by the way, Yang Cong was the governor of the three provinces or something, Xia Yan on the side suddenly spoke again: "Lord Yang, the emperor didn't have tens of thousands of followers when he went out on patrol, I'm afraid that your four or five thousand people are far from enough, what about those palace maids and eunuchs, doesn't the emperor need people to serve?" Moreover, Chengtian Mansion is more than 2,000 miles away from the capital, if someone has a heart to intercept the holy car halfway, can only four or five thousand people resist it? ”

There is also a certain truth in this, if people can't get together enough four or five thousand people, how dare they come to intercept the holy driver?

I'm not afraid of 10,000, I'm afraid of what if, Jiajing's face showed hesitation again.

Nima, you two are just being mischievous, aren't you?

These guys are just opposing for the sake of opposition, they don't care about the right or wrong of the matter, and no matter how much benefit this thing can bring, in their eyes, right and wrong have no power at all!

Yang Cong looked at Jiajing and explained helplessly: "The emperor can rest assured, this fire dragon car can not only be made out of one, if the emperor feels unsafe, Weichen can make ten or even twenty or thirty cars out, and when the time comes, even if the emperor wants to take 100,000 troops to Chengtian Mansion with him, it will not be a problem." ”
