After leaving Taipingfang, Li Yuanji went directly to the outside of Luozhou.

There are still many places in the city that I haven't visited, but that's not a must-visit either.

No matter when, no matter where, there will always be some unsatisfactory situations, maybe you can see it, you can find a way to change it, but what about those you can't see?

What is not seen is the majority.

Li Yuanji doesn't want to deliberately find those shortcomings, but it doesn't mean that he doesn't want to understand those shortcomings.

In Li Yuanji's view, it is better to look at the overall situation and start from the whole to change a certain area alone.

It's like he sees the people in a certain area who are struggling with their lives, or some other problems, and orders them to solve them.

This can change here, but it can only change here.

And now it is to leave nothing else aside for the time being, as long as the whole is upward, it is okay, other aspects can be taken slowly, when the overall level reaches a certain level, these problems can naturally be solved.

It is not the kind of solution that is a headache and a headache, but a thorough and fundamental solution.

Outside the city, a small, but not small, building is parked there, at least on the outside, with no signs of construction in progress.

But inside, there are a lot of busy figures.

Although the problem of the train has not yet been solved, the problem of the station has already begun to be solved.

Why did you choose to have the station outside the city?

The reason is simple, there is a need for railroad tracks here, and both Luozhou and Chang'an are now fully enclosed cities.

If you want to have the station in the city, you have to demolish part of it, then lay the railroad tracks, and open a gap in the city wall to allow trains to enter and exit.

Although this is more convenient, it is very inconvenient at the military level, and even directly weakens the defense ability of a city.

In fact, the station is just a few hundred steps outside the city, which is very close.

And in the future planning, there will be another urn city here, which is connected with the city wall not far away, so as to facilitate the overall defense, and at the same time will not affect the city's own defense ability.

"In the design, Nakju Station is a large station, and now it is only used as a terminal station in the east, but in the future, it will continue to go east, or south to north." Officials from the Ministry of Works stood on the platform and pointed to the station to explain its functions in detail.

As for the station, there are some things that Li Yuanji knows, and some people don't, and these are designed and formulated by the Ministry of Industry.

According to the future positioning of this station, in order to avoid frequent demolition and construction, so at the beginning of the design, the station was left with enough space for future development. For example, the vacant land to the north can be built at least three platforms in the future, and the largest design is designed to supply eight trains in and out of the station at the same time. But now, in order to save money and not need so many platforms, only this one was built, which can accommodate two trains. ”

"And where we are now, we are mainly passengers, that is, the passenger train that Your Majesty once mentioned. There is a track left in the middle of the station, which is not usually used, but if there is a train that does not need to stop, you can pass directly through this station through this track. ”

Officials from the Ministry of Industry kept introducing that the design was basically similar to that of later stations, but compared to later generations, the scale and function were much less.

For example, the station under construction is actually a concrete brick house, and there is only one hall in it, which is actually not large and cannot accommodate many people waiting for trains at the same time.

The main purpose of this hall is actually only to control the flow of people, and if you want to wait in advance, you can only wait outside the station or near the city wall to wait for notice.

Electronic screen, intelligent broadcast or something, just think about it, and say anything more, it's a dream.

Because it was the first time, because there was no experience, many places seemed a little unreasonable, which also indicates that these craftsmen and officials of the Ministry of Industry have not really understood these things.

Of course, Li Yuanji didn't point it out, let alone tell them what they should do.

There is a process after all, and it is impossible to do everything in one step, otherwise once they get used to this way, what will they do when they get used to a completely new field in the future?

In terms of guidance on some details, Li Yuanji has now gradually let go, leaving these officials and craftsmen to develop their own brains to imagine.

Whether it's right or wrong, the accumulated experience is the most important thing, and what Datang needs to do now is to continue to accumulate and accumulate all kinds of experience.

And then one day, do the real accumulation, soar to the sky.

Subsequently, the official of the Ministry of Industry continued to introduce.

Unlike later stations, this one had a separate platform through which the trains were refueled with coal and water.

However, this platform is not needed at the moment, this is already the terminal station, and after the passengers leave, they will naturally drive to the back stop for replenishment, which is designed for the future when the train continues to travel east, and the vehicles along the way will be used.

In addition to this passenger station, not far to the north of the station, there is another station that has been suspended and is covered by a white snowfall.

The station was relatively simple, with a few concrete platforms, a few tall warehouses not far away, and a row of houses, which was all that the northern station had.

Because it's just a freight station, the design is simpler.

On the whole, the function of this station is relatively comprehensive, and it is tall enough in the current era.

The unfinished part, in fact, is only a small part, and it is basically finishing work.

The rails do not need to be adjusted, and even if they do not match, it is the train itself that needs to be adjusted, and it can even be said that the station is now ready for use as long as the locomotive is in place.

Li Yuanji said that he was very satisfied with the work here, everything was so formulaic, like a catwalk.

But the encouragement that should be given is still given.

But just as Li Yuanji was about to leave, he was very surprised to see an old acquaintance.

A familiar back, with a little cement powder glued to his body, stood in front of a carriage, directing the workers to move the newly arrived materials into the station.

Although the man was just standing there directing and didn't move it himself, this scene was still a little sad in Li Yuanji's eyes.

"That person is Qu Tuquan?" Li Yuanji pointed to the familiar back and asked the Ministry of Industry official.

"Back to Your Majesty, it is Qu Tuquan." The official of the Ministry of Industry took a look, and determined the identity of the other party, and naturally knew the reason why the emperor asked, and continued to answer: "Since the death of Jiang Guogong in the second year of Zhenguan, the life of Jiang Guogong's family has not been as good as before. But there were some mistakes in the middle, the cost of the construction of the station, some exceeded his budget, if it was done in strict accordance with the requirements, he was likely to lose money on this project, but the station was a court project, sloppy, as a last resort, only some personnel could be laid off, and the second son could only bring some family members to personally participate in making up for the vacancy.

Regarding this matter, the minister also considered applying to the imperial court to increase the budget to make up for the loss of the second son, but the second son refused, so there was no follow-up to this matter. ”

Through the explanation of the Ministry of Industry officials, Li Yuanji understood why Qu Tuquan appeared here in the same image as he is now.

The construction of the station, there is no precedent at all, everything, can only be estimated, coupled with the situation of the previous imperial court, all the budget is not allowed to be overestimated, can only be prepared with the lowest standard, if the next situation is good, but can add some budget.

The overall budget will also be adjusted after the first day of each year, but this adjustment is only a small-scale adjustment, and it is impossible to adjust it significantly.

In addition to the fact that no one knows how deep the water is, what makes Li Yuanji feel the most bitter is that Qu Tuquan would come to do this kind of work.

In fact, with his identity, it was easy to open a shop, build a caravan or something, but he didn't do it, but chose to make money, but it was also possible to lose money.

Qu Tutong's title of Duke of Jiang was inherited by his eldest son, Qu Tuquan's elder brother Qu Tushou, according to the system.

And Qu Tushou, who inherited the title of Duke of Jiang Guo, because he does not have an official position, so now he is just an ordinary commoner with a noble title, living a leisurely landlord life.

With those inheritances, they can make their family have food and clothing for the rest of their lives, but if they want to continue to develop, it is no longer possible.

As the second son, Qu Tuquan has no qualifications to inherit, so at the moment of Qu Tutong's death, he also became a real ordinary person, although his identity has never changed, before this he was also the identity of the people, but Qu Tutong's presence or absence has a huge impact on the entire family.

However, there are also many nobles in history who have fallen in this way, and the Qu Tutong family can only be regarded as one of them.

Li Yuanji didn't have much contact with Qu Tutong, but he was also impressed by Qu Tutong's loyalty.

And Qu Tutong's integrity has also affected the descendants of the entire family, and Li Yuanji's feelings about it are also not bad.

It's just that the distance is too far, and there are many affairs in the imperial court, if it weren't for the chance encounter here this time, Li Yuanji wouldn't even know if he would have remembered that there was such a number one person in this world?

"You should have heard the name of Jiang Guogong, your father came to Luozhou, it was to take over the position of Jiang Guogong who had just died, in just a few years, even the descendants of Jiang Guogong can only live like this, now, do you still think that everything you have is deserved?" Li Yuanji pointed at Qu Tuquan and admonished Duan Yan, "He is loyal and righteous, but now he still has to work a hundred times harder, although your identity is higher than him, but after all, you are half a relative, if one day, your parents are gone, I am no more, your cousins don't care about you anymore, what should you do?" Today I only tell you six words, you have to remember it firmly, the end of the line! I do it right! ”

Dropping a sentence, Li Yuanji asked Song Zhong to summon Qu Tuquan over, since he had met, he couldn't pretend not to know like this.
