This is probably the reason why reform was difficult in ancient times, and only the monarch and the reformers could see the benefits. As for everyone else, they feel that their cake is passive, so it will naturally be hindered in every way. But Liu Zhang fed the people at the bottom, the middle-level officials drank the soup, the upper-level officials gnawed the bones, and finally the meat was eaten by himself. Naturally, there are more and more people who are willing to follow Liu Zhang, and the two hands of emotion and interest are played together, and the result is bound to be beautiful.

The changes in Shanghai are changing day by day, and the most prominent is the emergence of buildings. This kind of reinforced concrete building is simply not too exaggerated. This is obviously more popular than the previous wooden houses. Secondly, this kind of building can be built very high, and it makes people feel very atmospheric when they look at it.

"Gongjin, you go back to rest for a day and then prepare to go to Chang'an, you can also take your family to Chang'an to have a look, or you can not take you at will. Of course, Chang'an is very prosperous, you can bring more money when you go, so as not to have no money to buy things when you get it. Liu Zhang said a few words casually, and then prepared to go back to rest. At last, they can return to the familiar north, and the war in the south seems to be over.

The next day, Liu Zhang had already finished preparing and knew that Liu Zhang was leaving, so many local people sent him off. Liu Zhang has received a lot of gifts, although they are all worthless food, but Liu Zhang has a good bite. Seeing Zhen Mi and Zou Fu filling the few boats behind them, Liu Zhang felt as if he had brought a group of talented women.

It is really a day to get on the ship, and it is almost to Chaisang in the evening after a day's sailing. Huang Zu seems to be quite satisfied with this place, you must know that Jiangxia has not changed much, and Chaisang is quite comfortable to build here. At the beginning, Liu Zhang felt that the south would not move within ten years, so he vigorously built it. But it seems that the war in the north was stiff for a while, and only then did it move against the south.

The south is just bigger and the environment is worse. If it is really calculated according to combat effectiveness, it is not half a star worse than the north. Chai Sang rested for one night, and Liu Zhang directly prepared to go back to Chang'an. As for the goods here, naturally someone transported them to Chang'an.

The next day, Liu Zhang arrived in Xiangyang, where Huang Chengyan was already waiting for Liu Zhang. There was nothing wrong with the success of the steam engine, but what bothered them was that the machine was a bit loud when it was running. The feeling of banging is very collapsed, but Huang Chengyan, Jia Xu and others are still excited and speechless.

This thing is really a cross-era thing, and when he drove the gears to clatter, the scene was unusually lively. Then they installed it on the car that the model had prepared for a long time, and drove a simple tricycle more than five feet long. Watching the car move slowly, the person in front only needs to control the handlebars, and the car can move. With no human labor at all, it's definitely a great piece. Although it was a bit of a knife, it moved after all. It felt like the horses of the original carriage had been removed, leaving the cart behind......

But then the problem is speed, that is, noise, stability and stopping, and so on. If you want to stop, you can only slow down in advance and release the steam inside. Secondly, there is really no way to make that kind of noise, and the manual run-in equipment is still a little less lubricated. There is no better lubricant in this day and age, and of course they don't know about it......

When Liu Zhang arrived, Jia Xu and the others were already waiting. Zhou Yu, Lu Su, and Lu Xun looked at the steel monster in front of them with a blank face, no matter what this thing was doing, it was very threatening to look at. The shock of this kind of steel is too strong. In an era when weapons of wood and bronze were common, the sudden appearance of such a steel monster was only shocking.

The three of them were speechless for a long time, and the veterans of Cheng Pu, who followed behind, widened their eyes even more. I don't know what it is, but it looks very lethal. After arriving in Jingzhou, these people were speechless for a long time, and the ground in Jingzhou was all that kind of flat cement road. The trees planted here look like they were transplanted by hand, and the greenery in the city is quite good. There's a new twist to everything......

"Too much noise? Put some vegetable oil, and you can also polish the connected parts smoother. Liu Zhang looked at such a large steam engine and felt much bigger than expected. However, the relative power will be stronger, of course, the utilization rate is still the same poor. However, there is no problem in driving such a car, and the train can be driven.

Liu Zhang motioned for them to start igniting, and with the addition of coals, the steam engine in the car began to run. Soon the car began to run slowly, and this scene made the people on the street amazed for a while. They don't have the fear that Liu Zhang imagined, except for a little incredible feeling, everything else seems to be normal?

The car ran around the square and slowly came to a stop as the steam was released. Overall it was good and the noise was acceptable. The vibration is still relatively small, of course, the most critical problem is speed, but it is also good as a civilian use. The road was repaired, and it could be used even at night. At most, there is a row of lanterns hanging in front of you, and it is still very safe on a fixed road.

Except for Liu Zhang, who didn't feel anything, everyone else was shocked and incomprehensible. Liu Zhang went around and said: "It's okay to prepare more wheels, and the scale of Eucommia ulmoides gum will increase." This one was transported to Chang'an in a car, and the speed did not need to be too fast, so find a soldier to practice here for a few days. "This thing can be mass-produced in the future, and it is a good means of transportation for both materials and people.

"Fujun Jingzhou has been planted in many places, but the current consumption is still a bit large. Raincoats and galoshes in the south, and even soles of shoes need to be glued with eucommia, and we have opened several new workshops. "Cai Yu never thought that this kind of unknown tree in the past would have such a function? This kind of wealth makes Cai Yu feel unreal, in the past, their Cai family was also a big family, but now it seems that it is really not enough.

Liu Zhang nodded and said: "Contracting out, you always have to give others some way to live, Eucommia ulmoides gum is handed over to others to plant, and you can be in charge of the workshop." After saying that, Liu Zhang thought about one more thing, and looked at the beautiful woman who was Zou Fu on the side, and then Liu Zhang said: "There are a lot of rape flowers here, and I will find someone to open up a few pieces of land for you, and this will be given to you." "Liu Zhang planted a little bit before, and this thing plays a vital role in the next development.

Zou Fu was stunned for a moment but nodded and stood behind, she had been in contact with Liu Zhang for a long time, but Liu Zhang had never thought about giving her any industry. Although women are weak, they always feel forgotten. The newcomer Cao Hua and her sisters all have their favorite industries, but she is the only one who doesn't. But today, all of a sudden, there is a ......

"Don't underestimate this thing, everyone in the future will need this thing. It's rarer than salt......" Liu Zhang glanced at her, he himself was a sloppy person, and he said there when he thought of it. Sometimes you can't forget......

After explaining these things, Liu Zhang said to Huang Chengyan on the side: "This steam engine produces more, and then it is improving little by little. Go back and open a mechanical class in Jingzhou, and select some good students to teach these skills. The cost of research and development will be allocated to you by filial piety, and if there is a good one among the apprentices, you can give a special case. "Liu Zhang has never been stingy with his own technology, and the craftsmen have always encouraged innovation, and Liu Zhang is not afraid that Cao Cao will get all the technology except gunpowder. If Cao Cao wanted it, Liu Zhang didn't mind giving it to them. Maybe Cao Cao can find better talents, only weapons are fundamental.

After resting for two days, Liu Zhang's convoy had a lot of supplies in the back. I feel that I can go back after the robbery, and I have brought this simple version of the bus with me. The layout in the car is still good, and the most important thing is that the seats are very soft. After a few days of experiments, they have also figured out some tricks.

If the speed is too fast, you can release some steam a little, or add some water. It is enough to maintain a constant speed, in short, the wisdom of the ancients is not bad at all. Watching the car move slowly, the team behind slowly followed, and a group of generals came up, this kind of stable car that was different from the carriage made them full of curiosity.

When this road started, many people or caravans couldn't help but stop and take a look. Fortunately, there is a huge flag on the top of the car, otherwise I am afraid that this journey will be a bit troublesome. This is obviously much more comfortable than the carriage, and the two drivers take turns to swap. Liu Zhang doesn't want to drive tiredly, what if he drives into a ditch?

The hearts of Zhou Yu and the others are simply indescribable, as if they have entered a science fiction world: "Can this thing be loaded into a ship?" Is the ship of steel going to be powered by this? Zhou Yu thought of what Liu Zhang once said that the giant ship of steel is the foundation.

Liu Zhang nodded and said, "That's right, in the future, I will build a big steel ship, and this is the driving force." At sea we can accelerate unscrupulously, and now this speed is only a preliminary use. "It's not really fast, because there's so much to take care of on land. But if it is at sea, Liu Zhang can run unscrupulously.

Zhou Yu said bitterly: "I used to think that my lord was laughing, but now it seems that Zhou Yu is really short-sighted." ”

Liu Zhang smiled: "Why should Gong Jin be like this? When you arrive in Chang'an, you will understand that development can make us live more comfortably than before, and we have many incredible things. Back then, Dong Zhuo set fire to Luoyang, and hundreds of years of hard work were gone. They are the ones who really deserve to die, and you can only be the people who are struggling in the times. Liu Zhang didn't have any hatred for Cao Cao, but he was very disgusted with people like Dong Zhuo. You win and you win, but burning these things is unforgivable. For example, when the Old Summer Palace was burned, that shame can never be forgotten.
