Chapter 298: The World is a Village
June, South.
This south is particularly southern, the southern hemisphere.
As early as 40,000 years ago, Aboriginal people lived and multiplied on the land of Australia, and the original meaning of the word Australia was "Southern Continent".
Further south on the southernmost island in Southeast Asia is the southern continent.
The climate of the southern continent is just the opposite of that of the Eurasian continent, Yang Xi is in summer here, and winter is there.
The topography of the southern continent is distinctive. Mountains in the east, plains in the middle, plateaus in the west. The coastal area is full of wide sandy beaches and lush greenery.
It is an arid or semi-arid zone, and most of the central part is uninhabitable, with eleven large deserts, which occupy about half of the entire continent's area. This is the flattest and driest continent in the world, with only more than 200,000 square kilometers of land that can be used for animal husbandry and cultivation, mainly distributed in the southeast coastal zone.
It is also a miracle that such a large continent and such a small area suitable for human habitation are also miraculous. But this is not the most peculiar, what is even more peculiar is that for more than 20 years, the primitive tribes here have suddenly begun to slowly begin to civilize.
In 196, Sydney, a native of the southern continent, established the first city, named Sydney City, with a population of 20,000, and began a journey to conquer the surrounding primitive tribes.
Twenty years later, the population of this city reached 500,000, and six cities were built along the coast, without walls, each city had a population of 40,000 or 50,000, and all the primitive tribes came out of the caves.
Sydney has changed from a young tribal boy to an uncle who is now almost forty, and he expressed his helplessness. What makes Sydney puzzled is that his body function has reached 95 for more than ten years, and there has been no progress since then, and the intermediate level of the technology tree has not been activated so far, I don't know why.
"I don't know what happened to the others, now more than 20 years have passed, according to normal speaking, 20 years is a reincarnation, 20 years can turn war into peace, can make the world look new, can make a baby waiting to be fed into a young adult, I have turned a primitive tribe into a country with a population of almost one million today, what about you?"
"If you don't come to see me, when the ship is launched at the end of the year, let me go and see you!"
Sydney was thinking wildly as he faced the sea, and behind him walked a middle-aged woman named Rita.

The war elephant battalion became famous in the first battle, and the invincible deeds of the war elephant battalion are now spread everywhere in Daxianbei City, and the war elephant soldiers have naturally become the pride of the army.
At the same time, there are also famous soldiers.
According to the rules for the advancement of the military rank of the Chenhe Chamber of Commerce, the raised soldiers belong to the Tuntian soldiers, and the recruits are inferior soldiers, and they can only be advanced to medium soldiers after one year. However, if the tuntian soldiers can participate in a battle, they will be directly converted into a standing army, and the lowest rank is corporal.
In this battle, the war elephant battalion performed outstandingly, resisting the early attack of Budugen together with the heavy cavalry, and successfully pinning down its soldiers and horses. A small number of brave people who kill more than three enemies with their own hands will be promoted to sergeant, and if they kill more than six enemies with their own hands, they will be promoted to sergeant.
This kills with your own hands, including crossbow shots.
In each battalion and each squad, there is a special field recorder who is responsible for recording the situation on the battlefield.
Five people in a class, among the five people, one person is responsible for recording, and this person is naturally the squad leader.
Yang Xi personally went to the War Elephant Camp today to commend his merits, and he unexpectedly found that Qin Qing had been promoted to the rank of lieutenant.
This represents the battle, in which he killed nine people with his own hands.
"You're not afraid?" After the commendation, Yang Xi chatted with Qin Qing alone, Yang Xi didn't know that Qin Qing's father was the dead man who assassinated Sun Ce, and he had crazy DNA on his body.
"Isn't it scary? I just felt excited! Qin Qing raised his delicate little black face as he spoke, and Yang Xi couldn't help but feel moved when he looked at it.
"Yes, yes, according to your heroic performance and current military rank, in other branches of the military, you can be a platoon commander, but in the war elephant battalion, you can only be a squad leader, in charge of the three-headed war elephant, how do you choose?"
"Of course stay in the War Elephant Camp, I don't want to leave Amon!" Qin Qing didn't think about it at all, maybe he had already thought about it.
"Good! I respect your choice! That's right! Three days later, Daxianbei City organized a delegation to send an envoy to Fuyu Kingdom, I went in person, you led your class, go with me, and support the scene. Don't worry, you don't have to fight this time, even if you fight, you won't be afraid, there are three thousand heavy cavalry escorts, plus me and Ugin, anywhere in the world, I can take you there! ”
"Why me?" Qin Qing felt his heart beat faster.
"Do you want me to answer because I like it's you?"
"Not really!" It's really hot now.
"Alright, just get ready!"
Yang Xi muttered in his heart as he walked back.
"The physical function of being only 82 in February, and now it is 87, is this girl training herself as a beast?"
However, Yang Xi really likes the strong little muscles and healthy slightly black skin, which is called real sexy.
On June 25, hundreds of graduates of Donglai University transferred from Donglai County by the Chenhe Chamber of Commerce, as well as some experienced management personnel, arrived in Daxianbei City.
After a day's rest, on June 27, the Chenhe Chamber of Commerce delegation officially set off.
This time, Yang Xi personally led the team, and the deputy leader was Que Ji. Considering that Que Ji is now the deputy governor of Daxianbei County, and he is a Xianbei person, he knows more about the habits and etiquette of the Buyeo people, so Yang Xi thinks that it is the most suitable.
The mission is not only as simple as sending an envoy, but also shoulders the complicated issues of negotiating the construction of railroad tracks with Buyeo and the construction of its own Chenhe Chamber of Commerce branch.
These problems are naturally arranged by Que Ji.
As for the escort army, Yang Xi transferred a battalion of heavy cavalry, plus Tian Han's 500-strong escort team, a total of 3,500 people. Yang Xi also deliberately transferred Ling Tong to his side to take care of Wujin BMW for himself.
A team of more than 5,000 people marched westward.
Yang Xi sat upright on the war elephant, so uncomfortable, Qin Qing seemed to be in a good mood recently.

At the end of June, Cao Cao finally built the railway track from Yecheng to Yanglecheng in Liaoxi County, stretching for hundreds of miles. This railway track passes through Zhuo County, Youbeiping County to Liaoxi County, which made Cao Cao breathe a sigh of relief.
Cao Cao and the civil and military forces, personally test the train, the manpower rail car from Yecheng across the Zhangshui Bridge, around a number of mountains, into the plain, through the Liaoning West Corridor to Yangle.
The straight-line distance is almost more than 500 kilometers, and the length is estimated to have increased to 1,000 kilometers after the railroad tracks are built, which is almost 3,000 miles according to the calculation at this time.
The whole journey took two days, and although Cao Cao and Zhong Wenwu rested for the night on the way, when they arrived at Yangle City on the second day, they were still so excited that Cao Cao was very excited.
Cao Cao sighed with emotion: "This rail car, it can really be described as a god car, in the past, from Yecheng to Yangle, the march was unhindered, and it took more than ten days, I don't want to arrive in one or two days today, why did Yang Xi say?" Yeah! It's called Social Efficiency! That's it, it can really be improved by I don't know how many times! This matter is a great contribution to Wenhe and Fengxiao! ”
Jia Xu and Guo Jiaxi smiled, and hurriedly excused themselves, Guo Jia said: "This car is used for the military, but the actual use is not much. But if it is used for business, it is a great profit! The lord can know that 500 sheep are transported from the border to Yecheng, and it takes how many hours of labor, at least 20 days, and more than 50 laborers. However, if there is this rail car, with a capacity of 50 or 60 people, and 5 or 600 sheep in a car, it only takes one or two days, but the cost will be reduced by an unknown amount. In this way, what is the difference between the pastures outside the Saiwai and the farms in Yecheng Linxian! ”
Cao Cao said thoughtfully: "Could it be that this is the four-character truth of "the world is a village" as Yang Chenhe said? ”
Hearing the words "the world is a village", the audience was moved.
If you can really spread the railroad tracks all over the world, not to mention the village, the world can at least be the county.
Now Cao Cao and others really feel that from Yecheng, which is not far from the Yellow River, to Yangle, which is not far from the grasslands of western Liaoning, it is like a dream in more than one day.
This railway track is more than 2,000 miles long, passing through dozens of large and small counties, and it is still unknown how the business of these counties will develop.
In short, one railroad track is better than an army of 100,000.
