Chapter 510: The train crosses the river by boat

The development of rumors was a bit out of Zhang Xiaobao's expectations, and he was going to take some measures to take back his thoughts.

While waiting for the legendary train to appear, the onlookers' remarks changed, from questioning the fairness of Qiu Yu at first to demanding that Zhang Xiaobao must participate in the imperial examination and take down the champion.

The people who don't know the details have found a good way very smartly, since it is said that the ranking of Qiu Yu has already been arranged, then as long as Zhang Xiaobao is pushed up, this 'conspiracy' can be destroyed.

If you don't give Zhang Xiaobao the title, you can't do it.

In addition to the ordinary people who follow the cooperation, it is the businessmen who prefer to contribute to the troubles behind the scenes, and the businessmen do not care who is the first and who is the second in the autumn festival, they only care about their own status.

Nowadays, the status of businessmen has improved slightly, one is the support of several business actions organized by Zhang Xiaobao, and the other is the materials and money paid in the Chaoyang action, which has changed the image of the businessmen.

When they heard the method discussed by the people, the only thing they thought of was that if Zhang Xiaobao really participated in this year's autumn festival and didn't get the champion, would the status of his own 'class' people decline.

In the eyes of the 'literati', Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan are a pair of people who attach importance to 'education', and they first proposed the Sunrise Action in Baoxin County and worked hard for it.

In the eyes of the people, Zhang Xiaobao and the others are a pair of good officials who are very capable and care about the people's welfare, but wherever two people go to become officials, the people's lives are very good.

In the eyes of businessmen, Wang Juan was automatically ignored, and Zhang Xiaobao became the 'god of war' in the shopping mall, as long as it was what he said, as long as it was the action he commanded, there was no need to doubt, let alone hesitate, and it would never be wrong to rush forward.

If he can't pass the top prize, doesn't that mean that the skills of Datang's businessmen are even lower? The little prestige that was finally built up will be in vain, and it is unknown when it will be restored, so this flag cannot be fell, even if it is piled with money, Zhang Xiaobao must be piled up to the position of champion.

With this idea, the businessmen did not only talk like the common people, afraid of long nights and dreams, and could not care about the train, so they squeezed out of the crowd one after another, found a place where they could send telegrams, and sent telegrams to their partners one by one, discussing how to push Zhang Xiaobao to the position of champion when he participated in the autumn festival.

In this way, it was supposed to be a lively scene to watch the train, but the atmosphere changed.

Li Longji, who was watching the excitement in the sky in a hot air balloon, also kept an eye on the situation below, and from time to time someone sent information up.

But what happened today was a bit unexpected by Li Longji, at the beginning, everyone was talking about trains, and later it became this year's autumn ranking.

When Li Longji heard the news at the beginning, his eyes glared at the other hot air balloons accompanying him, and there were people from the clan, especially those from the clan who had been at odds with the Zhang and Wang families.

If Li Longji didn't know that they were behind the trouble, he wouldn't have to be the emperor, and he didn't know how to suppress the matter, and the direction of the discussion below had changed.

Listening to what the person who reported after receiving the telegram, Li Longji exhaled, picked up a glass of wine with ice cubes, took a sip comfortably, and asked Gao Lishi: "Does Lux have anything to say?" ”

Gao Lishi was happy, listened to the emperor's question, groaned slightly, and replied: "The minister found that the people have become smarter and bolder, and they have begun to care about the affairs of the court. ”

"Really?" Li Longji asked again.

"Uh~! This is not easy for the minister to judge for a while, if it is not appropriate, it is indeed inappropriate, how can the people know that it is difficult to do the affairs of the court? But if it is said that there are benefits, at least the local officials want to deceive the people and do something bad, even if the people don't say it, they know in their hearts that it will not be the same as before, and the people can only follow what the officials do and say.

During the spring flood this year, many officials who did not manage the local area properly were reported, and with the publicity of the newspapers, the people in the affected areas evacuated very quickly, and there was no situation where people would rather die in the middle of their homes than leave when they encountered disasters as in the past, because they knew that leaving was temporary, and when the flood passed, there would be people to help with construction.

The people who have not been affected by the disaster around are also willing to temporarily accept the people who fled the disaster, which is the increase in cohesion, and the minister estimates that His Majesty will start a war, and write the enemy's disrespect to my Tang Dynasty in the newspaper, even if the number of regular troops is not enough, the temporary increase in troops can increase to tens of millions of warriors to kill for the country. ”

At this moment, Gao Lishi was not happy that his godson had won the support of the people, nor did he simply comment on whether the people should become smarter, and analyzed the gains and losses from the perspective of the country.

Li Longji didn't speak immediately, squinted his eyes, leaned back on the back of the chair, thought for a while, and then smiled, and said: "I think that as long as no one deliberately plays right and wrong, the people are still good, and the more knowledge the people learn, the more difficult it will be for others to incite the people."

Unless, unless I am really mediocre to the point where I should go down, the people will still support me, but the people who go to the local government are not good at doing things, and they have done the wrong thing, and the people are difficult to fool, so they can't stare at me and tell nonsense, right?

You can learn locally, Luzhou, Baoxin County, Shuzhou, and Changning County, make the income money, what you want to do and the money you want to spend public, there is no ghost in your heart, what are you afraid of? Lux are you right? ”

"What His Majesty said is extreme, such as Praise County, the minister paid attention to it, the new county order has always been Xiao Gui Cao Sui, according to the original method to do, this year the new Yamen was repaired, and his own line was also repaired, and the money in the Yamen was still used.

This is not what he wants to repair, it is the people who see that the yamen in the county is too dilapidated, and feel that it affects the image of the county, and take the initiative to jointly ask the county to repair it, unlike before, which official wants to repair the yamen, the people dare not say it on the surface, and they will scold behind their backs, Xiaobao and Juan Juan once said, the people of my Datang are the best people, the most reasonable, as long as they are not forced to have no way to live, they will be very obedient, so ....... ”

"So as long as I know which local officials are forcing the people to die, I will raid his house and let him die a good death." Without waiting for Gao Lishi to finish speaking, Li Longji took over the words with an angry face.

After saying this, Li Longji smiled again, glanced at the other hot air balloons, and said: "Xiaobao and Juan Juan's participation in the Autumn Festival this year is decided, even if the two of them want to find a reason to escape, this is the will of the people, let the bad people behind the scenes know that the will of the people cannot be violated, and be honest with me." ”

The other people on the hot air balloon were really honest, they also received the news from below, they first wanted to make the momentum bigger, and the students who were waiting for the autumn test were unwilling, and the people were unhappy, and when they objected together, they said Zhang Xiaobao's name, so that Zhang Xiaobao could not get the champion.

What I didn't expect was that I pushed a hand behind my back and got different results, and before I could achieve the goal of my own side, I said Zhang Xiaobao's name, and the people themselves thought of Zhang Xiaobao and took the initiative to push it out.

The person who sent the message did not add any processing, but one bite of our Xiaobao, our Juanjuan, this kind of words made people feel frightened, and the title without a sense of distance did not mean that Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan had lost their official status in the hearts of the people, not only would it not hinder them from issuing administrative orders, but it would make every word they say get the support of the people.

'The mantis arm is a car', some of the people of the clan who are hostile to the Zhang and Wang families have this word in their hearts at the same time.

Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan, who were crowded in the crowd, finally came to the railway, that is, there was a place where the train was connected, and the train was not here, but on the boat.

At the beginning, it was said that Luoyang would pass Chang'an, and after arriving at the Yellow River, passengers got off the train, walked over the bridge, and then took the train over there to continue walking.

Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan discussed this matter for several days, and finally decided to load the train by ship and go back and forth between the two sides of the strait.

Wang Juan waited for a while for the train to come, so that he and Zhang Xiaobao stood up to announce the matter, his eyes scanned back and forth on the river, and said to Zhang Xiaobao: "When will there be an electric locomotive, the current steam engine can't pull things that are too heavy, it can only pull fifteen carriages at a time, and each one can only carry twenty tons of goods, and the speed is only more than 30 kilometers per hour, which is really slow." ”

"The speed of the train is slower, the pull is less, but the development of science and technology in my Datang is fast, I can build a train today, tomorrow I dare to build an airplane, look at this railroad, not to mention not to give Japan and other countries steam engine technology, even if they give it to them, they can't build the railway."

Zhang Xiaobao is still very satisfied with this train, this is not just a problem of a train, other aspects of technology must meet the corresponding requirements in order for the train to appear.

"Yes, it's all your credit, remember to send someone to guard the rails, I'm afraid that someone is worried about us, send someone to dig the railroad tracks, and you can transport three hundred tons of things at a time, if it is repaired to **, I will transfer troops at that time, and you organize logistics, so ...... Too far, huh? You can't fix it. ”

Wang Juan fantasized about the transportation capacity of the train during the war, and when he thought of Longyou Road, he laughed first, and now he wants to build the railway there, which is tantamount to a fool's dream.

"Yes, there will be a day, but I estimate that one day the railway can be repaired to India, you really want to fight, you use large transport planes, who participated in the development of the train, remember to write down their names when the time comes, so that the whole world knows about their existence, I don't dare to take credit."

Zhang Xiaobao gently hugged Wang Juan's waist, looked in the northwest direction with her at the same time, and said to him with emotion.
