The train went all the way east, and Li Chengguang kept asking all kinds of questions.

For him, although he knows a lot, he still doesn't know enough about the entire railway line.

At this moment, Li Chengguang is like a dry sponge, constantly absorbing all the water that can be absorbed around him, making himself more flesh and blood.

But that's not enough.

The train arrived in Luozhou, and Li Chengguang lived directly in the governor's mansion.

Duan Yan has grown up, and he doesn't know what he is busy with all day, anyway, he is blindly busy, and he doesn't care about studying, as the son of the governor of Luozhou, he can't even enter Luozhou Academy, which makes Duan Lun's face very dull.

Duan Jianbi's age is not young, she is still struggling, the time of a year has come, her in-laws are still undecided, sweetheart? Not really.

Her family, her status, is not allowed to have a sweetheart.

Born gave her prosperity and wealth, and also limited her personal freedom, but in this era, it is basically the same, the whole world is like this, and no one thinks there is anything wrong with doing this.

"Princess, Your Majesty's ministers came to inquire about the marriage of the county monarch?" For Duan Lun's family, Ma Wu is not a person, if it weren't for their position, the two couldn't get too close, then they might have become good friends.

Princess Gaomi smiled slightly, there are some things, do you still need to ask?

Although she is a princess, although the emperor gave Duan Jianbi a year to choose freely, but what can she do when those words come out? Is it possible to really find an in-law for Jian Bi within a year?

For them, as long as the emperor speaks, it means that there is this meaning, no matter whether the emperor will remember this matter in the end, they have to wait, waiting for the emperor to find Duan Jianbi's in-law, or personally say that they will find it themselves.

They won't do anything until they have an absolute reply.

"No eyebrows!" Princess Gaomi replied with four words gently, and looked at Ma Wu with a pair of eyes, as if to remind him, just say it, don't be so polite.

Of course, the title of county monarch has come out, can't it explain the problem?

The title system is not just a title, and every title has extremely strict review and access conditions.

The daughter of the crown prince is named the county lord, the prince's daughter is named the county lord, the daughter of the clan and the mother of the third or fourth rank of the wife can be named the county king, and the mother of the fifth rank civil official can also be named the county king.

Although it is not as good as the county lord and the county lord, for Duan Jianbi, this is obviously placed according to the treatment of the clan girl, this treatment is absolutely unthinkable, and it is also a violation of the rules.

"Your Majesty has taken a fancy to a person before, this person has excellent character and ability, and is deeply loved by His Majesty, although the family is down, but the background is not bad, but because of the reason of studying in the military academy, he temporarily delayed his marriage, and now he is just twenty. If the princess and the county monarch are no different, the minister will go back to restore his life, and His Majesty will go to inquire in detail. Ma Wu said directly.

There is nothing to hide about this matter, His Majesty likes Duan Jianbi very much, and he also likes Xue Rengui very much, and wants to match this marriage.

Of course, his own daughter is not impossible to marry Xue Rengui, but in this way, Xue Rengui's family status will inevitably be affected to a certain extent, will it affect his future? This is unknown.

And marrying a princess in the Tang Dynasty really takes a lot of courage.

Li Yuanji was afraid of scaring Xue Rengui, so he didn't rush to mention this matter.

Princess Gaomi frowned, slightly puzzled in her heart.

What does Ma Wu do? With Ma Wu's ability and the power of his subordinates, do you still need to go back and investigate this matter in detail?

I'm afraid that after they took a fancy to this person, they had already started a detailed investigation, right?

Now saying this, the only problem may be that the other party has a fiancée, and the other party refuses to repent of the marriage, or has not told the other party this idea for the time being, and does not know the other party's reaction.

"If the other party can treat Bi'er sincerely, this princess will naturally be no different." Even though she knew that things were not that simple, Princess Gaomi nodded in agreement.

Twenty years old, unmarried, this older unmarried young man, in this era, is indeed strange enough, this kind of person is either a dragon and a phoenix among people, or a turtle.

What Li Yuanji can take a fancy to is naturally not a turtle, and what Ma Wu said is that because he entered the military academy, he delayed the time to get married.

But is this really the main reason? Not necessarily, right?

Ma Wu nodded, but he was a little speechless.

He felt that Li Yuanji's idea of marrying Duan Jianbi to Xue Rengui seemed a little unlikely to come true.

Ma Wu did not conduct an in-depth investigation of Xue Rengui before, but after this matter was confirmed, he also learned that Xue Rengui was at least a person who was concerned.

Thinking of this, Ma Wu immediately summoned his subordinates and gave them some orders, and then stopped to rest.

And after that person left the Governor's Mansion, he immediately set off to Longmen County, Jiangzhou, Hedong, Xue Rengui's hometown, and went there to learn detailed information.

At this time, Li Chengguang was fighting with the lamp, the brush in his hand was constantly waving, and rows of neat and generous fonts appeared on the paper one after another.

It's just a draft, some of his thoughts on what he's seen and heard these days, and suggestions for whimsical ideas.

This draft is not the final version, it is a habit of Lee Seung-kwang, or rather a continuation of Lee Won-gil's.

Write it down in advance, and then complete a whole plan according to these one-sided records, and at the same time complete the plan, think about it, run in, and remove all kinds of problems as much as possible.

In the next few days, Li Chengguang walked around the city of Luozhou for a few days, almost turning the streets and alleys of Luozhou, like a little adult.

After that, Li Chengguang proposed to leave Luozhou, what should be seen, I have already seen it here, the railway has been repaired to Xingyang, Li Chengguang plans to go there to have a look, and then go to the construction site of the railway to see how the railway was built.

Of course, on the return trip, Lee Chengguang planned to stay in the middle counties for a while to observe the situation in these intermediate areas.

The railway is still the same section, except that this section of the railway does not seem to be as busy as the previous one, which can be seen by the number of trains coming from the opposite side.

Xingyang's geographical location is extremely important, but that's all.

After Luozhou and further east, even Xingyang, which is the most famous, is not as good as Luozhou in terms of population and economy.

Coupled with the development of these years, Luozhou has made more and more progress, and Xingyang, only after the imperial court decided to continue to build the railway, the Zheng family moved a large number of industries back to the base camp, and the economy barely looked better.

But it's just good-looking, there is still a gap, a large number of people, goods, or moving towards Luozhou.

The only benefit of building a railway for Xingyang is that the transportation is more convenient, and to a certain extent, Xingyang has replaced part of Luozhou.

In the past, all the goods from the eastern, northern and southern areas of Luozhou were transported to Luozhou for loading and transportation, but now a large part of them are transported to Xingyang for transit.

This kind of busyness is only a temporary busyness, and it seems that the cargo throughput is increasing, but there is not much that these goods can really leave.

And how to say this place in Xingyang, the scale is not large, only slightly larger than the general county seat, there are a lot of people in the city, but most of them are just the flow of people, most of them still stay here for a short time, and then go directly west to Luozhou or Chang'an.

"Fifth uncle, what do you say is the significance of the extension of the railway?" Looking at the scenes in Xingyang, Li Chengguang asked with some puzzlement.

"What do you see?" Ma Wu didn't answer him in a fart, but a rhetorical question.

has been with Li Yuanji for a long time, and the whole person has also been subconsciously affected, besides, why this extension line was built, Ma Wu knew the reason, because when Ma Zhou was discussing with His Majesty, Ma Wu was listening by the side.

"What I see is that it is vain, and the railway has not brought much change to Xingyang, and it has changed internally." Li Chengguang said directly.

The reason for this is that there is no entry tax or transit tax, and if you transit here and do not sell, you do not have to pay taxes, which is very beneficial to merchants, but it is a disaster for transit places.

What are they going to bring to the table by building a huge site that can handle transit demand?

It's just that the additional consumption of these transit cargo personnel in this place, this consumption is pitiful, and the investment in the entire site is almost negligible.

And Xingyang's consumption power is not as strong as imagined, which has led to a sluggish market, even the Zheng family, but only Xingyang as a cheap production base, the goods produced, will eventually be transported out by rail, to Luozhou, to Chang'an to sell.

In the end, all Xingyang was able to get was a pitiful amount of income tax.

"What if the railway only goes from Chang'an to Huazhou?" Ma Wu smiled slightly.

Li Chengguang fell into deep thought, if the railway only goes from Chang'an to Huazhou, then the final result will inevitably be the same as what he sees now.

And why is the railway line from Chang'an to Luozhou so prosperous? Is that because this railway connects two large cities?

But further east, what are the big cities?

Xuzhou? The scale is acceptable, but it is still not as good as Chang'an Luozhou, if it is built there, over time, it should barely be able to achieve the expected purpose, but what is the purpose of building it in Haizhou?

Li Chengguang only knew that Haizhou was close to the sea, and many seafood products were set off from Haizhou, and the shipyard of Datang was also there, and the expeditionary force also set off from there.

Vaguely, Li Chengguang seemed to have realized something......
