On July 29, 889, the most important day of the Tiance Mansion, almost the high-level officials of the Tiance Mansion in Chang'an put down everything they were doing after receiving the news and rushed to a building on the eastern outskirts of Chang'an that was closely protected by the Xuanying Guard and the Patrol Department.

This strange building is the railway station built by the logistics department, imitating the shape and design of later generations, but the main body of the building is also decent, and there is nothing beyond the times.

By the time Li Xuanqing and Qiaoxi arrived with a few palace maids, the heads of the three major military, political and legal departments led by Cen Tianshi, Du Rangneng and Xu Tianxiang were waiting at the door in Chang'an.

Cen Tianshi was stunned when he saw that Li Xuanqing was still with the palace maid, but then he reacted and said with a smile: "The lord seems to be full of confidence, and he actually brings his entourage, this is to invite me to go to Huaqing Palace for summer vacation." ”

Li Xuanqing smiled slightly and said, "This is for ladies, we don't have this benefit." Okay, without further ado, let's go inside. Honglin and his younger brother Hongfeng are probably also ready. After speaking, he walked towards the guard at the entrance of the train station with Qiaoxi, and the first checkpoint was Hu Xiaosi's Xuan Yingwei, and he himself guarded it.

"Little Four, there's no need to be so strict, right?" Xu Tianxiang was baffled by Hu Xiaosi's actions, today's guards were directly ordered by Li Xuanqing to Xuan Yingwei, and they did not pass the General Staff, so even he, the chief of the General Staff, did not know that today's security level was so high.

Hu Xiaosi grinned, but his subordinates' ability to inspect was not relaxed at all, and he even found a few female subordinates to check on the women who followed, which made others not very accustomed to it, Murong Feixue and Yang Fuyao saw that their faces changed slightly, and they were about to speak, but they saw Qiaoxi walking over generously and walking into an independent closed hut with the Xuanying Guard female warrior for inspection, for her, this kind of examination is much better than the kind of full-body scan in later generations, and naturally there is no psychological burden. The others didn't dare to say anything when they saw Qiaoxi taking the initiative to cooperate with the inspection, and obediently stepped forward one by one.

"Lord, it seems that in the future, we will have to let Qiaoxi drive the weather vane of our women's column." The reactions of these girls were naturally seen by Cen Tianshi and others, who were pardoned and exempted, and suddenly Cen Tianshi's meaningful words came to Li Xuanqing's ears.

"In many cases, the cultivation of social atmosphere needs to be driven, and over time, everyone will develop conventional habits. And the initial weather vane is the top of the society, they can often drive the direction of the social atmosphere. Therefore, when educating the people, the Ministry of Civil Affairs must strictly control this weather vane and cultivate the public morality of the whole society, so that it can promote social harmony while industry and commerce are increasingly prosperous and pursue interests. Li Xuanqing knew what Cen Tianshi was thinking, nodded and said: "So foolish politics is not a good way, the people are the source of the continuous continuation of Tiance Mansion, and we also need to continue to absorb talents from the people in the future, so the foolish people's words are still stupid in the end." ”

Li Xuanqing's words made everyone slightly stunned, and understood what he meant, this is to remind everyone present to make up their minds about their words and deeds in public, and always remember that the impression left by their actions in the hearts of the people has led to the people to follow suit.

"Okay, let's not talk about this today, we are here today to witness a great miracle, a miracle that can change the course of history." While a few people were talking, Xuan Yingwei's inspection had also been completed, and everyone gathered to follow Hu Xiaosi to the station platform, and after a few turns, a strange-looking iron car that Cen Tianshi and others had never seen before and dragged a long body appeared in front of them.

"My lord, this is what you said about the burning train?? Why is there a long iron rod underneath? Cen Tianshi was stunned by the monster in front of him, and asked with a sigh in his mouth.

Li Xuanqing and Qiaoxi looked at each other and smiled, and took the lead to walk forward, Yin Honglin and his younger brother Yin Hongfeng came over to salute everyone, and were pulled by Cen Tianshi on the side, who smiled: "Honglin, this seems to be a mechanical manufacturing, right?" It doesn't have much to do with your bank, why are you here? This is your brother? ”

Yin Honglin didn't wait to answer, Li Xuanqing said with a smile: "Sir, don't ask first, let's get in the car first, and then say on the road, this thing has been tested in advance in the factory, but the vibration problem has not been solved, and it can only be improvised for the time being." ”

The big guys got on the car one after another from the various doors, and began to have a large number of various facilities in the carriage, this kind of double-row seats also have backrests, and the chairs covered with felt blankets quickly attracted everyone's attention, and the number on the seats in the row also made the people who saw it for the first time confused, but fortunately, Yin Hongfeng stood next to introduce the origin and use of these things.

Because the steel pipe is too difficult to build, even if there is a machine tool in hand, Li Xuanqing and Qiaoxi still can't afford to make such a difficult material, so in addition to the necessary structure in the carriage is made of steel, other decorations or small objects are basically made of wood, because this one is a test car, and the time is relatively abundant, so there is even a little decoration inside.

"Red Maple, tell me to go down and get ready to drive." Li Xuanqing saw that the time was almost up, and said to Yin Hongfeng.

Yin Hongfeng nodded to the entourage on the side, who quickly walked to the control room on the side and pulled up a very strange cable, and suddenly there was a long whistle, and at the same time, the train where everyone was located began to vibrate gradually.

"Let's find a place to sit down, today Hongfeng is responsible for solving everyone's doubts, you can ask if you want to ask." Li Xuanqing grabbed Qiaoxi beside him, found a place to sit down, and said with a smile.

As soon as he sat down, the others also sat down, and suddenly the carriage was basically full, and Baixin and the rest of Xuan Yingwei were in the back carriage. Yin Honglin motioned to his younger brother, who saw that the train under his feet began to move slowly, and said: "Lord, Mr. Cen, the director, I am Yin Honglin, the general manager of the train manufacturing plant of the industrial group, and I will introduce to you the Tengfei train under our feet." ”

Yin Hongfeng and his brother's elegant and chic appearance is completely different, the whole person is a sloppy image, unkempt, but the explanation of the train is the head of the road, from the manufacture of the train to the introduction of the main indicators, all aspects of the train are basically comprehensive, because everyone except for a few people is the first time to contact the train, so Yin Honglin has to answer the questions raised by the people present from time to time, this explanation takes a lot of time. However, the start speed of the steam locomotive was too slow, and half an hour had passed, and the monster with three carriages spewing black and gray smoke was still in Chang'an County.

After finally finishing the introduction, Cen Tianshi said with a hint of shock: "The lord means that the train will be open to the people when necessary?" ”

"It's not for the private sector, the train must be for the folk exploitation, otherwise such an expensive cost will not be affordable for any dynasty. Moreover, trains were built to solve transportation problems, and if they are not open to the people, they will lose their value. Li Xuanqing knew Cen Tianshi's thoughts, so he continued: "Let the Department of Transportation set up a special agency, called the Department of Railways, to build and manage this emerging mode of transportation, and let the Department of Patrol and Arrest set up a special railway patrol according to the railway line. This test route is the place where you train your troops, and it is necessary not only to have a management organization, but also to train special service personnel, such as ticket sales personnel, station personnel, train crews, and a series of facilities construction. By the way, Honglin, how is the bond management department of your money bank? At that time, bonds will be issued in the name of the Department of Transportation and the Ministry of Railways to raise funds for railway construction, and later try to build a full-fledged railway by repaying the railway operating income. ”

Cen Tianshi saw that Li Xuanqing's arrangements were in good order, and even thought about the way to get the construction funds, and immediately smiled bitterly: "Isn't it a day or two for the lord to plan this?" Tianshi felt that since the lord started industrial construction, Tianshi was almost unable to keep up with the pace of the lord. ”

Li Xuanqing knew what Cen Tianshi was thinking, thought for a while and explained: "There is actually a problem with the way that Mr. and you are governed. The reason for this is that Mr. Wang's method is to govern the people. That's not the way I'm doing. ”

"Oh, what's the lord's solution? Is it right to govern the people? Cen Tianshi was a little puzzled and asked. To tell the truth, this is the voice of most of the civil affairs officials present. Since the advent of Qian Zhuang, there have been too many new things of all kinds, and they don't know how to govern this society that makes them confused.

"The philosophy of the gentleman is to hold on to the defects, and the method of the big brother is to keep up with the times." Qiaoxi pursed his lips and said: "Originally, this society is constantly developing and progressing, and new things are naturally constantly emerging, and any way and method needs to keep up with the needs of the times, and cannot maintain a certain model." For example, the train in front of me was actually made by my eldest brother and me, but after the operation, Mr. and you thought about what impact it would have after it appeared, and what we needed to explain to the people. The big brother thinks about what kind of benefits it can bring, and what useful benefits it will have for the development of society. Another example is the matter of the bank, since the opening of the bank, everyone's concept of the bank is still stuck in the basic impression of receiving money, loans, and repayment. But in the eyes of my eldest brother and me, Qianzhuang is the most important weapon to regulate economic development, and the use of Qianzhuang can directly control all the economic trends in the entire Tiance Prefecture. Qiaoxi's words can be said to be directly stabbing the heart of everyone.

"For the above, we need to see the advantages and disadvantages of new things, and the formulation of policies also needs to start from the benefits, so that the people can understand how to get benefits, which places are forbidden, and what kind of punishment the disobedient need to receive, rather than blindly leaving the people in a state where they do not understand and dare not do. And the most important point is that the idea of governing the country must be changed, and the essence of the previous sages governing the country is that the small country and the widowed people have enough food and clothing. What we need to do now is to be proactive and keep innovating. In this way, we can not only restore the ancestral industry of the Han and Tang Dynasties, but also let my Huaxia always stand at the peak and achieve the cornerstone of the thousand-year-old prosperity. Li Xuanqing sighed, and then continued with his words: "Before, you were resistant to industrial development, in fact, I also understood that it was too much pressure to rashly bet the achievements accumulated by so many soldiers of Tiance Mansion in bloody battles and the hopes of the people of the world on the newly emerged industry that did not know what the consequences were. So Qiao Xi and I have decided to change the way, and set up a special industrial manufacturing group in my name to drive the prelude to the industrialization of the empire, if it fails, it is only a problem for me and Qiao Xi, and it is a big deal to use the salary of this life to repay the loan. ”

"My lord, it was the fault of the heavens before, please punish the lord." The words of Li Xuanqing and his wife made everyone silent for a long time, compared to the Ministry of Civil Affairs led by Cen Tianshi, who was from the military department, the pressure of these words increased dramatically, and Cen Tianshi was silent for a long time before he spoke: "Tianshi did think that industry was all strange and ingenious, and it was not worth emulating, but the reality is that strange and ingenious things can bring unexpected benefits. Please rest assured that after you go back, you will study the lord's ideas of governing the country with all my colleagues to ensure that you will not drag the lord back. ”

Li Xuanqing also knew that Cen Tianshi was already a very person who could keep up with his pace, so he didn't intend to blame them, but at this time Qiaoxi said: "Actually, what Mr. said is right, most of the industry is a trick and a trick, so how to save time, effort and money, at most add a premise of quality and quantity." So, what Mr. said is right, the policy formulated by the Department of Industry and Commerce is to crack down on illegal businessmen and save money, time and effort, and then opportunistically, so Brother Murong will raise his noble hand in the future and let go of the clever horse. ”

This sentence made everyone laugh, but they also heard a hint of real meaning from the witty words. In the distance, the towering palaces on top of Lishan Mountain are already vivid, and the rumbling sound of the train at their feet makes everyone start to change the topic and start thinking about the upcoming rare rest time.
