Chang'an City is as calm and prosperous as ever, early in the morning, after the early dynasty, Liu Xie began to practice martial arts, although Guo Jia arrived in the early dynasty, but from beginning to end it was a lethargic look, so that Liu Xie was very suspicious that this thing would die young earlier than in history because of overindulgence. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Xiliang's matter has set a strategy, but can not be in a hurry, to wait for the fermentation of things, at the same time, in terms of intelligence, but also to step up, Liu Xie has sent someone to Jingzhou, ask Liu Biao to help him find some people who can domesticate flying pigeons to come back, in this era of communication basically rely on roaring, if the communication method of flying pigeons can be popularized, the transmission of intelligence can definitely play a qualitative change.

It was gradually approaching the late autumn season, the coolness in the air was a little refreshing, Liu Xie was wearing a strong suit, but his clothes were already soaked with sweat, Liu Ye hurriedly came in from outside the hall, but was stopped by the guards outside the door.

"Go and call Wei Zhong over, I have something important to tell Your Majesty." Liu Ye is a royal family after all, although he also has to follow the rules, but it is probably because he is too excited, and there is a rare bit of sternness in his slightly wheezing voice at this moment.

The guard hesitated, but nodded, leaving one person to guard, and the other went over to call Wei Zhong over.

"Slave and maid see Uncle Huang." Seeing Liu Ye, Wei Zhong didn't dare to put on a score, trotted outside the courtyard, and bowed to Liu Ye.

"I want to see Your Majesty, and I'm tired of spreading the word." Liu Ye said in a deep voice.

"This ......" hesitantly glanced at Liu Xie's sword-wielding figure in the garden, Wei Zhong looked at Liu Ye and said, "Is Uncle Huang in a hurry?" ”

"Big deal." Liu Ye shook his head: "But it's not too urgent, it's just when will Your Majesty rest?" ”

"It should take a quarter of an hour to swing the sword a thousand times, if it is not a matter of military urgency, Uncle Huang might as well wait." Wei Zhongdao.

Listening, they all have a toothache, the readers of this era don't just read dead books, most of them also know some skills, Liu Ye naturally knows how painful it is to swing the sword a thousand times, and he can only sigh at the moment: "Then just wait." ”

A quarter of an hour, not very long, his business is quite big, but not in a hurry.

Time passed bit by bit in a boring waiting, and it wasn't until Liu Xie finished the practice of swinging the sword that he met Liu Ye.

"Uncle Huang came to me in such a hurry, but what's the matter?" took Liu Ye into the palace, and asked Yuxiu and Wan'er to help him remove his sweaty clothes and wipe his body, while looking at Liu Ye suspiciously, it seems that Liu Ye has been working in the Ministry of Industry recently, what can be a big deal? Technological breakthroughs, even if there is a direction, take time to accumulate, and after verification again and again, it can finally take shape.

"But someone found something in the ancient tomb of the Qin Emperor, and the minister thought it was useful to my Han, so he came here and asked His Majesty to take a look." Liu Ye smiled.

"Uh......" Liu Xie looked at Liu Ye strangely: "Uncle Huang is going to dig a grave...... Archaeology? ”

Have the people in the Ministry of Industry been idle lately? No, and the pre-Qin tombs, even if they are modern with advanced technology, can only be explored to the surface.

Archaeology?

Liu Ye looked at Liu Xie blankly, but he still understood the first two words, and shook his head with a wry smile: "It's just that someone accidentally strayed into the tomb of Emperor Qin and found something in it, so I came to consult with Your Majesty." ”

"What can make Uncle Huang so happy?" Liu Xie said with a little curiosity, although four hundred years have passed, but that period, for Huaxia, is a great era, many processes may be more than twice as advanced as today, but unfortunately, they are all lost, if you can make some advanced technology templates in this Qin Emperor's tomb, it is definitely more useful than giving Liu Xie the design drawings of a space shuttle, after all, that thing is given to Liu Xie, and he can't understand it.

"Your Majesty, does you know that Qin Shi Huang unified the six countries, and there was a saying that the book is the same as the text, and the car is on the same track?"

"Of course I know." Liu Xie nodded.

"Then Your Majesty, do you know what this track is?" Liu Ye said with a smile.

"Axles, huh?" Liu Xie thought for a while and said, it can't be a track, right?

"Definitely!" Liu Ye shook his head, shook a blank space to Wei Zhong, sketched two parallel lines on it, and drew a car on it.

"This is the minister personally to the Qin Emperor's tomb to explore, the Qin Emperor's tomb, there have been similar traces, with straight wood paving, but unfortunately the age, those wood has decayed, the minister in the Ministry of Industry and Pu Yuan and others did the same thing, and then the car on it, the speed is extremely fast, with manpower to push the frame full of goods, it is estimated that it can travel three hundred miles a day!"

Really!?

Liu Xie looked at the picture on the bamboo paper, his eyes widened in astonishment, didn't things like trains and tracks only appear in modern times? Could it be that two thousand years ago, there was already such a concept?

Even if you can only travel 300 miles a day, if you have this thing, you can greatly save manpower and material resources when you fight.

The question is, given the limitations of this era, can it be popularized even if something like this exists?

Not to mention anything else, this thing is easy to be used as firewood!

"The minister thinks that this thing can be arranged on some strategic roads first, such as several large military camps, and some important cities, and lay special post roads." Liu Ye pondered: "And if this thing is pulled by enough horses, it can increase the speed to five hundred miles a day." ”

"Specializing in post roads?" Liu Xie suddenly felt that his head was hurting again, and looked at Liu Ye with a wry smile and said, "Uncle Huang knows the cost and manpower?" ”

"Your Majesty need not worry." Liu Ye shook his head and said: "This matter is not a day's work, and now it is not necessary, there is no need to mobilize a large number of manpower as before, but the minister suggested that it can be like the assembly line initiated by His Majesty to the Ministry of Industry, organize a group of personnel who specialize in the study of this thing, if this thing is to be promoted, not only to lay tracks, but also to have important links such as geographical exploration and construction, although it is time-consuming and laborious, but once it can be completed, my Han national strength will definitely be able to complete a transformation!" ”

Liu Xie couldn't help but nod in agreement when he heard this, if you want to get rich, build roads first, there is nothing wrong with this concept, once this thing can be laid into a huge transportation network, the speed of material circulation in Dahan will be increased by an astonishing level, and the response speed to the war will be several steps higher than now.

"Since Uncle Huang has come to me, he already has an idea?" Liu Xie looked at Liu Ye and said with a wry smile.

Although it is indeed beneficial to the people, in terms of the current finances of the imperial court, there is not much money on this road, so after Liu Xie said this sentence, he added: "Now the imperial court does not have too much money to do this, and it is not suitable to use the method of work for relief." ”

If it is a general construction of a city or something, it is a good way to work for relief, but this rail thing seems to be just a matter of two wooden sticks, but a series of things such as specifications and load-bearing need to be considered, even Liu Xie, a layman, feels that this kind of thing, ordinary people really can't do it.

"Your Majesty, rest assured, the minister has already made a deduction." Liu Ye shook his head: "The minister needs a group of carpentry apprentices to help the minister polish the qualified wooden rails, and then needs a team of craftsmen who are specifically responsible for laying the tracks. ”

It doesn't sound like much, but just because the Tingwei Mansion popularized this rule of law, and then made people form a natural mentality, a lot of resources need to be used, and in addition, it is necessary to grasp examples and punish in various places, and it is difficult to promote this alone.

However, it is still within the scope of Liu Xie's bearing, and once it is completed, the profits that can be brought are not small, no matter how difficult things in this world are, as long as there is a direction, there will always be a solution, this road, it is considered to test the waters, if it succeeds, after the imperial court economy rises some, it can be vigorously carried out, at least in Guanzhong, the cities should be popularized, and the speed of material circulation and the loss in the process should be accelerated.

"And then?" Looking at Liu Ye, Liu Xie thought for a while and said, "Where is Uncle Huang going to start?" ”

"The minister thinks that when a passage is laid out between Chang'an and Hangu Pass, and when it is completed, the craftsmen we have trained have enough experience to do it separately, divided into more than a dozen small teams, and go to the counties to recruit manpower, which can be laid between the counties, so that it is also convenient for the imperial court to govern the counties under its rule."

Liu Ye is not just a craftsman, his strategy and internal affairs are all temporary choices, he has been thinking about this for a long time, and he already has a set of plans, rather than an ideal state of imagination.

Liu Xie nodded, sat on the chair, and after thinking about the pros and cons, he nodded: "I will be wise to Berning in this matter, and the relevant laws will be newly drafted, but how to grasp the scale, but Uncle Huang needs to communicate with Berning, after all, I am not good at this matter, Uncle Huang has ever budgeted for the construction of the road from Chang'an to Hanguguan, how long will it take?" ”

"Three years...... bar. Liu Ye is a little uncertain, after all, this kind of thing, even if it is him, is only recently learned, although the wooden rail is relatively easy to make, from Chang'an to Hanguguan, although the road is relatively open and flat, but there is also a distance, and once the paving, according to Liu Ye's research, the wheels also have to make some changes to adapt to the track without going off the track in the Mercedes-Benz, and many things have to be tested.

In other words, you won't need it for a short time.

Liu Xie patted his forehead, but thinking about it, even in modern times, it takes a lot of time to build a railway, not to mention that now, although the materials are relatively light, it is not easy to build a track of several hundred miles from scratch.

"Then Uncle Lao Huang is worried." After thinking about it, I finally agreed, after all, at present, the budget is not too high, but it requires a lot of court resources, and it takes a long time, but after all, it is a kind of progress.

"Obey the order!"
