The train route from Chang'an to Yizhou has smoothed the transportation route from Chang'an to the southwest.

If the train from Chang'an to Hangzhou can be opened up again, then the transportation from Chang'an to Jiangnan will also be revitalized.

Jiangnan is the land of fish and rice, in fact, what Li Shimin wants to open up the most is actually the transportation line from Chang'an to Hangzhou.

Although the transportation route from Hangzhou to Chang'an is not as difficult as that from Chang'an to Yizhou.

However, once it can be passed, the transportation time is greatly shortened, and the control of Jiangnan is also strengthened.

As for the connection from Yizhou to Hangzhou, it is nothing more than incidental.

Of course, Li Shimin also knows that if the train route from Yizhou to Hangzhou is not increased, he is afraid that Li Su will not take out the train at all.

In the next step, Li Shimin is preparing to open a railway line from Chang'an to Youzhou.

As soon as these three railway lines are opened, the transportation of the entire Datang will almost be revitalized.

Regarding Li Shimin's request, Li Su did not have much resistance.

If the railway line from Hangzhou to Yizhou can be opened, it will also have great benefits for the development of the entire Jiannan Road.

It is not only for Yizhou, for Jiannan Province, but also for the development of the entire Datang, it has a positive role in promoting.

Of course, the opening of these two train routes is a huge project.

There is still a later management in the construction of the railway, and Li Su will never get his hands dirty.

Therefore, Li Su agreed to Li Shimin's request, but the construction of the railway and the management of the later period were all pushed to the imperial court.

Li Shimin also happily agreed.

However, when Li Shimin took out this bill in the court, there were still many objections.

Well, of course, the naysayers are against it.

Their reason is not that they feel that the opening of train routes is useless, nor that they feel that it is too laborious and costly.

It's that they don't quite agree with the choice of this route.

Some people feel that they should continue south, preferably to Chaozhou.

There are also those who feel that the northwest route should be opened.

There are also people who feel that the western route should be opened.

These opponents only felt that the route was bad, not against the opening of the train track itself.

However, Suzhou and Hangzhou are prosperous places in the south of the Yangtze River.

Li Shimin wanted to open up the route to Hangzhou, and naturally he had his political needs.

In the end, the agenda item was adopted.

And Li Shimin directly handed over this matter to the eldest grandson Wuji to be responsible.

This can also be seen that Li Shimin's grace to the eldest grandson Wuji is prosperous.

For this time, the construction of the railway is mainly local.

The main railway lines between the two states are basically funded by the local government.

Of course, after the construction of the railway, there are a series of other profits from the ticket money sold, and the local government can also share fifty percent.

In areas that are really poor, you can go to Datang Qianzhuang for a loan.

Of course, the imperial court will also give a certain amount of subsidies financially.

As for this suggestion of the imperial court, there were hardly too many complaints from the local government, and they happily agreed.

Because there is a precedent for this.

On the main line from Chang'an to Yizhou, the regions passed through are now more economically prosperous than the surrounding prefectures and counties.

A railway line directly revitalizes the economy of all states and counties along the way.

Where to find such a good thing?

What they're afraid of is that the train line doesn't pass through their state or county.

And to build a railway, naturally there is no need for the help of Yizhou.

In particular, Su Pengcheng, Minister of Railways of Jiannan Province, helped him greatly.

Even, after the railway line from Yizhou to Hangzhou and from Hangzhou to Chang'an was opened, Li Shimin was ready to continue to let Su Pengcheng serve as the minister of the Ministry of Railways.

Building a railway is not an overnight effort.

Take the exploration of railway lines as an example, if you want to find a perfect route, I am afraid that it will not take three or two years, or even more.

Of course, Li Su didn't want to delay for so long.

With the system, Li Su's development ideas are naturally not achieved in order to develop slowly.

In fact, now the development process of Datang is to take the lead in development, and then the level of science and technology has begun to improve rapidly.

Therefore, the railway route, Li Su directly exchanged it from the system, and then handed it over to Su Pengcheng.

With the railroad route, the rest is much easier.

First of all, Su Pengcheng took ten points from Yizhou to Hangzhou, and these ten points are bound to pass by the railway.

After determining these ten points, the middle route is slowly divided.

Once the railway route is divided equally, work can begin.

Of course, when the construction starts, it is natural to have someone familiar with railway construction to guide you.

Therefore, those workers who participated in the construction of the railway for the first time were very popular.

Their wages are at least twice as much as those of new workers.

Those technical personnel are even more paid.

With the participation of these people, the construction of the main railway line from Yizhou to Hangzhou began in just a few months.

Next, Su Pengcheng continued to plan the railway route from Hangzhou to Chang'an.

It is believed that within this year, the construction of the two railways will be able to start at the same time.

The construction of these two railway routes will require at least a few million labors, if not more.

The construction of these two railways has driven almost half of the Tang Dynasty and countless people of the Tang Dynasty to participate.

Of course, because of Li Su's suggestion, these people are all paid.

And this time the construction of the railway is not only government investment.

There are also families with five surnames and seven hopes, so they naturally also see the business opportunities inside.

They have made investments, of course, their investments will not be in vain, and they will definitely be able to obtain certain benefits after the train is opened.

This is also indirectly equivalent to the fact that the family and the imperial court paid money, so that countless people in Datang benefited from it.

……

Time flies by like a white horse, fleeting.

Before you know it, it's the end of the year again.

Because of the cold weather and the approaching Chinese New Year, the construction of the railway has also stopped.

The research of the steam plow has encountered one problem after another, and of course, they have also overcome one problem after another.

But compared to under the leadership of the King of Shu, their speed can be said to be countless times slower.

Compared with the problem of bicycles and steam engines, the steam plow is much less difficult.

Even so, their research is so slow, which is enough to show that they are still extremely immature.

However, these five people are all holding back their strength.

Almost all of the food and accommodation are in the laboratory, and research is carried out in no black and white.

None of them were going to go home during the Chinese New Year, so they had to rest after overcoming the subject.

I have to say, scientists are crazy!

Li Su shook his head, not ready to care about them.

The end of the year is approaching, and naturally, the annual winter fishing conference is about to start again.

The Winter Fishing Conference has now been affixed to the label of Yizhou.

Because in the entire Tang Dynasty, only Yizhou has a winter fishing conference.

Well, in fact, in other places, it's not that they haven't tried to hold a winter fishing conference.

Last year, and earlier this year, people from the family such as the five surnames and Qiwang did it.

In the past two years, they have sent people to observe the whole process from the beginning of the winter fishing conference.

Then all the process of winter fishing is recorded in detail.

Then, they also began to winter fish.

First of all, they chose a large lake in Jizhou and other places in the north.

Then, the process of making fishing nets, drilling holes, nets, and so on is exactly the same as Yizhou winter fishing.

And after their publicity, they also attracted countless people to come and watch.

If they can succeed, they will definitely make a lot of money.

At that time, they all saw the crazy energy of Yizhou's winter fishing.

Even Cui Zhiji spent a lot of money to buy a head fish.

But the results of their winter fishing were very disappointing.

Because it took a lot of manpower, material and financial resources, when I went online, I didn't even have a single fish online.

Why is it that people in Yizhou, one net can make hundreds of thousands of catties of fish online.

And when it comes to them, not a single fish will be netted?

Why is that?

At this time, they realized that the most important thing in winter fishing was not fishing nets, not eye-drilling, and not pulling nets.

Instead, choose where to go online.

It turned out that not the whole lake was full of fish.

This location needs to be carefully chosen.

It's just a pity that they found out too late!

Their winter fishing campaign ended in failure.

And their behavior was also ridiculed by countless onlookers.

This is the standard Dong Shi Xiao Feng!

This year's winter fishing in Yizhou is more lively than last year's.

With the beginning of the net, the surrounding onlookers began to get excited.

"The fish are coming!"

"What a big fish!"

"Haha, this head fish, it's mine!"

"Go, can you afford it?"

"Tsk, this year's head fish, I don't know what sky-high price to sell!"

As the fish jumped out of the water one by one, the surrounding tourists suddenly began to scramble.

In the end, those tourists who are slow to start will naturally not be able to grab the fish.

However, with the winter fishing for several consecutive years, this year's catch is less than in the previous two years.

Naturally, there are many tourists who can't grab fish, which also makes these tourists quite unhappy.

Seeing this scene, Li Su also felt that when he waited for next year, he was afraid that Winter Fishing would have to change places.

Continuous fishing will reduce the number of fish.

And this year's head fish was once again fired at a sky-high price.

A million will be auctioned off!

……

After the winter fishing, the New Year's Pass is about one day at a time.

This is also the third New Year that Li Su will spend in Yizhou.

Here in Yizhou New Town, Yu Jia is lively.

There are even bad tourists who come here to celebrate the New Year.

The conditions here in Yizhou cannot be compared with other places, even if it is a rich family, it cannot be compared with Yizhou in many places.

Therefore, if there are not rich people, they simply bring their families to Yizhou to celebrate the New Year.

And now there is good news, that is, Yizhou New City will continue to expand.

Here is ready to build some residential areas for sale.

After getting the news, the surrounding rich people were all excited and ready to buy a house here.

Even those rich people of the Chang'an generation are ready to buy houses here.

It's also good to buy a house and live where to stay when you come to Yizhou for a vacation.

Now the railway from Yizhou to Hangzhou is being built, and after the line is opened, the housing prices in Yizhou will definitely rise.

In short, buying a house here in Yizhou will definitely not suffer a loss.

Of course, this is only a rumor at the moment.

Now I haven't even laid the foundation, and I haven't even scratched the eight characters, and I can't find a place to buy it.

However, those who have a heart are already staring at this piece.

Many rich people even sent people to wait in Yizhou.

As soon as there is definite news, they will act quickly.

They believe that if Yizhou really wants to sell houses, it will definitely be in short supply.

This year's Chinese New Year, the happiest are Liu Zhi and Princess Qin Mengxin.

They pasted Spring Festival couplets in the house early and cut the window paper.

Even the flowers and trees in the yard are draped in red and hung with colors, and as soon as you enter the yard, you feel very festive.

During the Chinese New Year, Wu Meiniang also rushed over.

Now Wu Meiniang's revenge has been avenged, and the Wu brothers have gone completely bankrupt.

Even their ancestral home, which was forcibly repossessed by the government, has now become the assets of the China Commercial Bank.

Originally, the Wu brothers still relied on their father's Yu Yin and relied on the ancestral house not to return.

They thought that as long as they didn't leave, even if it was a Chinese trading house, they wouldn't dare to forcibly kick them out.

Unexpectedly, the Chinese Commercial Bank did not make a move at all.

Instead, Datang Qianzhuang directly sued the Wu brothers to the government, and the government directly executed it.

The Wu brothers still wanted to play tricks, and almost broke their legs.

Datang Qianzhuang, although it is also an industry of the Chinese Commercial Bank, has the support of the emperor behind it.

The Wu brothers still can't pay the arrears, but they still dare to repay the debts, isn't this against the emperor?

The end is naturally self-explanatory.

lost his ancestral home, and most of his property was sold, leaving only a few thousand yuan in his hand.

With the virtue of these two brothers' lazy work, the family property will be lost by them sooner or later.

Therefore, Wu Meiniang was very happy at this time.

Only Xu Hui, because of his father's death, has not yet recovered.

However, she was infected by the emotions of several women, and she also had a faint joy in her heart.

At this time, Xiao Liuzi came to report that Xue Rengui's wife gave birth to a big fat boy.

After learning the news, Li Su was also very happy.

Hurriedly took a few girls and rushed to Xue's mansion.

Because Mrs. Xue was about to give birth, Li Su had already sent Wang Fangyi to Tuyuhun and replaced Xue Rengui.

A few people walked into the mansion quickly, and Li Su saw from afar that Xue Rengui was grinning, accepting compliments from everyone around him.

Li Su said from afar: "Rengui, happy to add a noble son, congratulations!" ”

Xue Rengui greeted him and said happily: "Your Highness, rejoice and rejoice!" ”

The corners of Li Su's mouth twitched when he said a word.

Today is your happy son, and I don't, I'm happy!

However, Li Su also knew about Xue Rengui, so he didn't think he was angry.

"Where's the little one? Let's see! ”

Xue Rengui hurriedly said, "In the back room, I'll let the maid take it out." ”

After a while, a little maid brought out a little child.

The little guy is quite strong, but the little face is wrinkled, and the skin is as transparent as ever, and the cyan blood vessels can be clearly seen.

Liu Zhi looked at it and couldn't help but say, "It's so ugly!" ”

At this time, Xue Xiaoxiao, who was an aunt, was suddenly unhappy.

couldn't help but say to Liu Zhi: "Children are like this, when you were a child, you were uglier than this!" ”

Liu Zhi Gege smiled and said: "Nonsense, I won't be so ugly!" ”

Li Su glanced at it a few times, and couldn't help but say: "This kid is blessed with a good look, a wide forehead and wide eyebrows, a mountain of gold in one hand and a mountain of silver in the other, he must be extraordinary when he grows up!" ”

Xue Rengui hurriedly said: "Your Highness, borrow your auspicious words!" This kid will follow His Highness in the future, and presumably blessings will be indispensable. ”

At this time, Li Su took out a piece of beautiful jade and handed it to Xue Rengui and said, "Rengui, this is my gift to the little guy." ”

Xue Rengui took the jade and found that this piece of jade was warm and flawless, and the color was deep, but I was afraid that it was a priceless jade.

Xue Rengui suddenly hesitated and said, "Your Highness, this-"

Li Su waved his hand and said, "Hey, this is for the little guy, you can take it if you give it to you." By the way, what's the name of this little guy? ”

Xue Rengui couldn't help but say: "I gave him a milk name Stone, and the name hasn't been named yet!" ”

In ancient times, people liked to give their newborn babies a cheap name, thinking that it was easy to feed.

The name stone is actually quite good.

If you don't have a dog, a dog, and a dog, you can have fun.

At this time, I heard Liu Ruyu say weakly in the house: "Xianggong, Your Highness is here, why don't you let Your Highness help Stone get a big name?" ”

Hearing his wife's words, Xue Rengui suddenly realized: "By the way, look at me, I almost forgot about business." Your Highness, you are very knowledgeable, so please give the stone a great name, right? ”

Li Yu still remembered that Xue Rengui's son seemed to be called Xue Ne, and he was cautious.

It means wooden, less talking.

But if the child is just born and he gives it such a name, I guess they will be unhappy, right?

Another name?

Or is it just the name?

After thinking for a while, Li Su couldn't help asking: "Rengui, then tell me first, what are your expectations for the future of the stone?" ”

Xue Rengui smiled and said: "Your Highness, I just think, when the stone grows up, he will do more things, less calligraphy and painting, and be down-to-earth." ”

Get!

Now Li Su somewhat understands why Xue Ne is this name.

So, Li Su couldn't help but say: "In this case, then it's called Xue Ne, and this king gave him the ligature, so it's called Shen Yan!" ”

Hearing this name, Xue Rengui couldn't help but be overjoyed, and hurriedly said: "Thank you, Your Highness, thank you, Your Highness!" ”

After staying for a while, Li Su found that more and more people came to congratulate him.

They're here, but they can't let go.

So, Li Su took the girls back home.

Of course, Xue Xiaoxiao still stayed here to take care of her sister-in-law.

I probably had to wait for the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner before going back.

After returning to the Jiedu Embassy's Mansion, Li Su suddenly felt that something was missing in the originally festive mansion.

After thinking about it for a while, I remembered, well, it seems that there are a few children missing.

If there are a few children in the house, this New Year will definitely be much more lively.

He has been married for three years now, and every time he returns to Chang'an, his mother Concubine Yang will hold his hand and ask.

even wanted the imperial doctor to treat Li Su's illness, which made Li Su very annoyed.

It's just that after the New Year, I was just fourteen years old.

The daughters were about the same age.

At this age, I'm still too young.

Alas, let's wait another two years!

……

New Year's is always short-lived, slipping away before you know it.

In a flash, the fifteenth day of the first lunar month passed, and the work of the entire Yizhou was restarted.

Di Renjie's steam plow, after their hard work, was finally manufactured.

Of course, just manufacturing it is not enough to put it on the market.

Experiments are also needed to identify defects and deficiencies, and to make corrections on an ongoing basis.

It can only be put on the market until there are no problems at all.

Now, Di Renjie and the others are constantly experimenting and correcting.

It is hoped that it will be able to take shape as soon as possible, and let the steam plough be put on the market before spring ploughing.

On the side of the student college, three or four hundred girls have been sent over.

Qiao Qiqi served as the principal, and the princess of the fifteen countries served as the teacher.

Although the princesses of these fifteen countries have only studied with Qiao Qiqi for half a year, they have not yet graduated.

But now it is more than enough to just act as an enlightenment teacher.

And they themselves are still learning, and they are also worried that if their learning progress cannot keep up with the teaching process, they will be eliminated at that time.

The most rare thing is that they find a kind of joy and dignity in teaching.

Before they knew it, they had fallen in love with the job of teaching and educating people.

And after the New Year, there is a steady stream of girls being sent over.

Originally, according to common sense, there is a certain time limit for recruiting students, and after the time, you can only wait for another year.

However, because the women's college has just opened, it is now much more lenient and can continue to enroll students until February.

The construction of the railway track is also in full swing.

The construction of these two lanes has benefited the people of half of Datang.

Everything seems to be moving in a good direction.

Countless people have seen a bright future and infinite hope.

Of course, not everyone is like this.

There are two sides to things, some people think it's good, and some people think it's bad.

Some people see hope, others see only horror and anxiety.

At this time, the five surnames and Qiwang and other families felt bad, and all they saw was panic.

They felt that the train was too fast, and now it was changing too fast and it was difficult for them to adapt.

It's still better than before, in the past, the carriages and horses were slow.

Isn't it good for everyone to do things slowly?

What to do so quickly?

So, in the new year, the five surnames and Qiwang and other families began to gather again.

Now they are terrified.

The world is always moving too fast, so to speak, with each passing day.

They felt as if it would not be long before they would be left far behind.

"Now we are going to open the train route from Hangzhou to Yizhou, and from Hangzhou to Chang'an. The current situation is extremely unfavorable to our family! ”

"Yes, the King of Shu continues to grow, and there is not much time left for us!"

"What do you have to do?"

At this time, Lu Yong stood up and said: "I have a plan, maybe I can deal a heavy blow to the China Commercial Bank." ”
