Chang'an Wharf.

"I... We have... So much grain? ”

Zhang Daxiang looked at the endless boats and the mule carts that kept coming back and forth, and was shocked.

An official beside him said: "Zhang Shilang, in fact, this is still a small scene, our river in Chang'an is so wide, the scale of Luoyang and Liangzhou is several times that of here, and now the river is full of boats, and the front of the warehouse is full of mule carts, horse-drawn carts, and donkey carts." ”

Zhang Daxiang said: "Where did this grain come from? ”

The official replied: "It comes from warehouses in various places, because our household department only has data on government warehouses, and many warehouses are owned by merchants and farmers, so our household department does not count them." ”

Zhang Elephant swallowed.

......

How powerful is the Tang Empire today?

Seriously, even the people of Datang don't know, they are just working hard, trying to make money, and striving for a better life, they are already very satisfied with this, you must know that before, they wanted to fight for no platform for them to fight, guarding a few acres to live a life, as long as they are not annexed by the landlord, it is a successful life.

However, the fact is that the Tang Empire is far more powerful than everyone thinks, it's just a good horse that walks leisurely, no matter how fast it is, it's so fast, but you can't rely on this speed to judge the merits of this horse, you have to whip it to know how many pieces it can run.

At this moment, Datang is in this state of being beaten.

You must know that Datang is going through the process of moving from a manual workshop to industrial production.

But the process can be fast or slow.

In normal times, you have to consider costs, market demand, risks, cooperation, and so on.

This progress is actually very slow.

Because everyone's wealth is increasing, they are not willing to take too many risks and stride forward, what if there is an abyss ahead?

But now the situation is completely different, there is no need to think about those problems anymore, you just need to move forward bravely, there is no way back, and you just come to die.

The arrival of this war seems to have given Datang a catalyst.

Originally, according to everyone's ideas, it would take at least two or three years for this steam engine to be popularized in Chang'an, but now, everyone knows that the steam engine must be popularized immediately, because there are wars everywhere, this manpower is definitely not enough, and the materials consumed are huge, so this consumption must be met.

As for iron, coal and other minerals, no one thinks about these issues.

Because now all the imperial court pays for it, and it doesn't matter if the cost is higher, they are now taking their own money and materials to buy high-interest treasury bonds, and then the imperial court will take the money in exchange for treasury bonds to buy his goods, in which the profits are superimposed, there are great profits, and it doesn't matter if the cost is high, anyway, the more they produce, the more they earn.

In addition, the palace released a lot of manpower, and everyone was crazy about mining, including the coal mines of the imperial court, all of which were used for steam engines, and the people were not allowed to use coal for heating.

There are also a large number of coal mines and iron ores from Lelang Prefecture, which were originally for Shandong, and all of them were shipped to Chang'an.

Coal production was exploding, and there were enough resources to run the steam engine.

The Zhang family was the first to use a steam engine to run the factory.

Because the lathe is difficult to push by manpower, it has to rely on the steam engine without hydraulic power, and the steam engine is obviously better than the unstable hydraulic power, and the components produced are more precise, so the steam engine is more perfect.

Subsequently, the smelters of the Yuan family began to install steam engines.

Almost all of the Jiupin academicians of the Sixth Academy of the Sage were dispatched and worked tirelessly to help them produce steam engines, install steam engines, and modify steam engines.

The iron ore and coal mines of the Yuan family have even begun to try to use rail transportation, if this is a peaceful and prosperous era, this thing does not know how many years to consider, but now, do not consider these, what is required now is efficiency and output, it doesn't matter if there is no steam car, it is always much faster to use mules, horses, and even manpower to push it away, in short, it is necessary to quickly transport the coal to the workshop.

And all this in front of Zhang Daxiang, in fact, is thanks to the Caoyun restructuring, Caoyun restructuring a very important reform, that is, the warehouse reform, after ten years of development, the maturity of commercialization, now no one wants to put the goods in their own backyard, are directly placed in the warehouse after production, including grain, get the order, the warehouse will be shipped directly, pay attention to efficiency, and now the only big buyer in the Central Plains is the imperial court.

In other words, the goods in the warehouse were immediately purchased by the imperial court.

Although there are wars everywhere, there are warehouses everywhere, and the entire transportation system has burst out with huge energy at this moment, and logistics have begun to pour to the front line in a steady stream, especially the grain in the south of the Yangtze River, this huge granary, which has been developed for so many years, is finally about to break out.

But the most terrifying thing is Liangzhou.

As the trade center of the Central Plains and the northwest, Liangzhou itself has a strong transportation capacity, as well as very rich material reserves, because Liangzhou is a transit station, horses, mules, camels, donkeys must be the most, there is no river there, all are land transportation, especially when the Yang family began to operate forage, and earn huge profits, resulting in more businessmen to invest in this industry, this forage began to optimize, which further provided capital for the concentration of animal power, the warehouse is always full, and now all piled up to the front line, as the first wave of supplies, at the same time, Chang'an's goods are continuously transported to Liangzhou, because that is the main battlefield, and seventy percent of the materials are transported there.

Now walking on the road from Chang'an to Liangzhou, as far as the eye can see, all are horse-drawn carriages, donkey carts, and camels, back and forth, day and night.

However, with such a large-scale scheduling, everything is in order, there are very few accidents, and the teams that meet back and forth talk to each other have a few words, and they are having fun in the bitterness.

This is thanks to Confucian education, which has nothing to do with Han Yi, if it has anything to do with Han Yi, it may be chaotic, because Han Yi is the most unruly person.

Although the Tang Dynasty was open, the Confucian etiquette was also very strict, and these people were divided into three, six, nine, and so on. The Tang Dynasty managed a huge country, there must be a very strict system management, which led to the people are usually very well-behaved, what stops, overtaking, impossible, in case you overtake is a nobleman's car, regardless of whether you have touched it, you may have big trouble, just go slower, the people have developed this habit, everything has to follow the rules.

At the same time, after the driver's license came out, it helped Datang train a large number of drivers, not to mention craftsmen, with the emergence of patents, craftsmen are showing a trend of skyrocketing, which shows that the talent reserve in all aspects of the Tang Dynasty is also very sufficient.

There is a saying that the soldiers and horses have not moved, and the grain and grass go first.

But the Tang Empire was already able to do the grain and grass later, and strike later.

This led to a very interesting phenomenon, that is, the Tang army on the front line was very sloppy everywhere, but the food was very spicy, a large number of cooks in Chang'an and Luoyang rushed to the front line, and now few people go to the restaurant, and the chefs have nothing to do, so the businessmen directly send them to the front line to cook for the soldiers.

Yuanjia Iron and Steel Plant.

"It's moving! It's moving! ”

After hundreds of craftsmen, day and night, the first forging equipment driven by the steam engine finally began to operate, which is really amazing, which is absolutely like a tiger for the production of large machinery and equipment.

Yuan Peony is also excited tears flashing.

Han Yi gently wrapped his arms around her waist and nodded with a smile.

This is the biggest benefit of Han Yi's plan, because his reform is from the bottom up, the bottom is always more important than the top, what helps the queen to take power, as well as the design of Li Zhi and Li Hong, that is secondary, his main thing is to hope to accelerate the development of industrialization, he knows that only in this case, everyone will come together, develop industrialization at any cost, go all out, and accelerate production.

Nowadays, Confucian scholars have come to engage in industrial design, although the effect is not so good, but you must know that geniuses are in Confucianism, throughout the ages, many inventions are casually played by those officials, it can be seen that there is a genius in this area, but people are not interested, even if one out of a thousand, it may provide very great help.

When everyone's wisdom is put into the industry, and the foundation has been laid before, now all that remains is for everyone to work together to build a building, which is simply ...... You must know that the Tang Empire is not the empire on which the sun never sets, the empire that the sun never sets is so vast at the beginning, and the people are just a little bit, the Tang Empire is a big land, outstanding people, the Great Wall, and canals are not a problem, once the catalysis begins, this speed is really terrifying.

At this moment, a man dressed in a forbidden army walked in and said, "Qi Shang Shu Ling, the queen has ordered you to come to the political hall to discuss matters immediately." ”

Han Yi nodded slightly.

When she came to the political affairs hall, Wu Meiniang handed a letter to Han Yi and said, "Is this also in your plan?" ”

Han Yi took it and saw that it was Li Ji who had sent an urgent letter, asking the imperial court to appoint Han Yi as the commander of the three armies, because his body could not support it for long, and said with a smile: "I want to know what the queen means?" ”

Wu Meiniang rolled her eyes and said, "Do I still have a choice?" I just want to know, how long are you going to wait? ”

Han Yi smiled and said: "Okay, okay, Queen, don't be too anxious, I'll solve all this, Queen, just wait at home with peace of mind." ”

Wu Meiniang said: "But why didn't you go earlier, if Tuyuhun is lost, have you thought about the consequences?" ”

I'm going to make a move sooner, will I be able to get so much benefit? Han Yi said: "If you lose it, you will lose it, in fact, it's not a big deal, I dare to start this war, I haven't worried about this, don't forget, that Qinling is just a chess piece in my hand, I only have the way to treat him." ”

Now what Han Yi says, it is anything, Wu Meiniang does not dare to doubt him, this guy is really a bad idea, he must have prepared a whole set of conspiracies and tricks to deal with Tubo, and said: "Okay, now I will appoint you as the commander of the three armies." ”

Han Yi smiled: "Obey." Now I thought to myself, all that was left was to squeeze the last little profit from this war.

That's... Cut your hair.

The first thing Han Yi did was to cut his ambition.

The location chosen was the Military Academy.

"Shang Shuling, cut it!" A female barber said apprehensively.

"Thank you!"

Han Yi stood up, just looked at the bronze mirror a little, pretending not to care, but secretly happy in his heart, not bad, not bad, and a lot more handsome! In the end, this short hair is still comfortable! But his expression was very solemn, even tragic.

Because there are a lot of people standing around him, Wu Meiniang, Cui Jijian, Wang Xuandao and other ministers are there, including his wife and children, because Han Yi is in charge today.

Han Yi exhaled lightly, raised his right arm, faced everyone, and said with a strong man's broken wrist: "If Datang survives this difficulty this time, I will never grow my hair." ”

How precious is this hair, the body hair and skin, the parents who receive it, never grow hair, this... This oath is a little more vicious.

Han Rui and Han Xuanyu's eyes were red with emotion, their father was really great.

As everyone knows, his father has long wanted to cut his hair, but he was forced by those worlds to have no choice, just waiting for today, if this war is won, then everyone will definitely be full of respect for Han Yi's short hair, this is the hairstyle of victory!

He can always keep his hair short, so he won't miss that bun, and he has to worry about not getting his hair wet when he fights at night, which is really fatal.

But Wu Meiniang, they are speechless, you are still in the mood to do this.

When I got out of the lobby and came to the middle of the playground, I saw that the playground was full of people, neatly arranged, these were all the students of the two military training academies, a total of 2,000 people.

Han Yilang said: "There is a way to raise soldiers for a thousand days, and use soldiers for a while. Now, it's our turn! ”

There was a chorus.

All the students gave a military salute to Han Yi in unison.
