Section 847 Conversation on the train

The special train slowly left the platform of Shendu West Station, and Princess Taiping withdrew her gaze from the outside, and her eyes returned to clear. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

The prosperity is gone from her, and the intrigues and tricks can no longer involve her, and she is the master of the world outside the gate!

She said to Zhou Ju, the former imperial historian who was sitting on the opposite side: "Duke Zhou, if you go to the Western Regions, you may regret it for a while, but if you don't go to the Western Regions, you will regret it for the rest of your life!" ”

Zhou Ju's impeachment of the great monk Wei Huaiyi was the culprit who caused him to fall off, and he fled to the Western Regions so as not to obstruct Wu Zetian's eyes.

Hearing Princess Taiping's words, Zhou Ju nodded and said: "Her Royal Highness the Princess's words must be reasonable, and the minister must take root in the frontier and dedicate every bit of his strength!" ”

"Rooted in the frontier" is what he thinks from a propaganda material, but in his mind, he doesn't think so.

It's a good thing to say, how can there be such a dedication, according to his thoughts, at most two or three years later, after the reputation of the court weakens, he wants to return to the court.

Princess Taiping smiled slightly: "Go there, you will understand what it means to dedicate yourself continuously and struggle endlessly!" ”

"It sounds like it does!" A Su Gui Road next to Zhou Ju.

This person was instigated by Princess Taiping to serve in the Western Regions, is a great talent, born a very prominent background, is the great-great-grandson of Su Sui, the prime minister of the Western Wei Dynasty, the great-grandson of Su Wei, the left servant of the Sui Dynasty, and the great-grandson of Su Wei, when he was twenty years old, he was a high school jinshi, and successively served as a member of the army in Hengzhou, and the post of assassin in Langzhou, and he was a practical official.

Because of the chaos in the court, she simply went west, and Princess Taiping said that if it was good, she would stay, and if it was bad, she would return to the court and come and go freely.

The train roared, all the way away, leaving the gods behind.

Zhou Ju has also taken a train before, and was amazed by the magic of the train, in fact, not only him, many people even thought it was an artifact and a fairy thing when they took the train for the first time!

Now he had the opportunity to sit next to the inventor's wife, and asked curiously: "The train is the creation of the prince (Wei Xi), ingenious workmanship, I heard that it comes from the Heavenly Palace?" ”

Princess Taiping responded to him: "It is the divine object of the Heavenly Palace!" ”

She didn't say "my husband said it", she answered as a matter of course, Zhou Ju did not doubt him, and Princess Taiping was slightly weak-hearted.

advertised that she was the reincarnation of Guanyin, she didn't think about the past at all, and she didn't know what the Heavenly Palace was like.

However, Wei Xi once talked about the appearance of the Heavenly Palace, told her about the actions of Guanyin Bodhisattva and asked her to learn, and told her that she was blocked by supernatural powers, and she would naturally unravel them in the future.

Over time, Princess Taiping was hypnotized by him and thought that she was also a bodhisattva.

Zhou Ju and Su Gui were amazed by the train, the train they took was a special train for Princess Taiping, she used a bedroom, a bathroom, a reception room, a conference room, an activity room, a retinue room, a luggage compartment, etc., and brought enough maids to serve her, as well as three hundred warriors to guard her safety, and brought horses.

The facilities are complete, and Zhou Ju and Su Gui have a private room in the entourage car, which is used by the two of them.

Because of the precious status of Princess Taiping, for the sake of safety, every time she goes on patrol, three special trains drive out at the same time, all of which are equipped with the same equipment and troop configuration, and theoretically the special train in the middle is where she sits, but in fact, until the last moment of departure, no one knows which train she is on.

In this way, the strategy for safety did not move the people so much in the past, but with the increase in the career handicap, everyone was very afraid that anything would happen to Wei Xi and Princess Taiping, and they spared no effort to protect them.

Since he went to the west, the topic was inseparable from Guanwai, and it happened that the train was idle, so Princess Taiping chatted with Zhou Ju.

"The prince once said that if you want to get rich, you must first build roads, and outside the customs, you will build railways!" Princess Taiping told the story.

Zhou Ju is not an uninformed person, and said: "Yes, if there is no railway, if we transport grain for thousands of miles, there will be no one out of ten, and the logistical pressure is very great, which is like now, the prince is hundreds of thousands of soldiers dispatched at the same time, even in the Han Wu Dynasty (strong period)!" ”

"The help of the railways is decisive!" Speaking of railways, Princess Taiping is like a little girl talking about her beloved toys, and she can't finish talking about three days and three nights, because she is the mother of China's railways!

She sensitively knows the benefits of the railway, and spends a huge amount of manpower, material and financial resources to build a railway that connects the east and west, and now it is placed on the map for Zhou Ju and Su Gui to see the railway line, which is full of pride!

"The double-track railway has been built for tens of thousands of miles!" Both officials couldn't help but be shocked!

Princess Taiping calculated an account in front of them, how many people and property are needed for each mile of railway, tens of thousands of miles of railway, that is an astronomical amount!

"So, we set up the Railroad Soldiers!" (This way, you don't have to hire too many migrant workers)

"Wherever we build the railway, the train will go!"

"Try to find a place with abundant materials to pass by, and find a flat place to repair!"

……

Princess Taiping said her way of saving money and calculations, sometimes in order to save a copper plate will go to such an extreme point, she skillfully abacus, by no means a delicate girl who does not touch the spring water with ten fingers, so that Su Gui and Zhou Ju are amazed.

She told that she had traveled thousands of miles to find a good route for the construction of the railway, that was to climb mountains and wade through water, wind and food, thirst for food, and the most dangerous time, thousands of sand thieves came to surround her, but fortunately, the accompanying troops were powerful, and three hundred people had no arrows, and shot more than half of the other party, and the other party retreated.

He said with deep feeling: "When you see the railway stretching forward mile by mile, you feel that all the efforts are worth it!" ”

"You went to Kanwai, that's the place to do things!" Princess Taiping said passionately, and her words touched the two officials.

Yes, the railway is real, there is no illusion, and it is easy to see the results!

"When you go to the gates, you have to go through training, and all people have to be trained, without exception!" Princess Taiping said, calling the maid to bring the training materials to the two officials on the car.

The first is the survival manual!

They must learn swords and bows and arrows, and at least be able to fire crossbows!

The crossbow doesn't take too much time to learn, as long as you aim at it, you have a chance to hit, which is much easier to use than a bow.

You must learn to ride and raise horses, because in the Western Regions, the area is vast, and it is difficult to walk an inch without riding a horse.

When it comes to raising horses, because the situation is unpredictable, if a person gets lost in the wild, there is only one horse by his side, and he doesn't care about the horse, it will bring trouble, and even lose the horse, which will bring disaster.

Then there are the wilderness survival skills: discerning directions, traversing difficult terrain, collecting food, obtaining drinking water, finding a place to sleep, first aid in the wild, starting a fire, and more.

The items in the manual are very complete, and the two officials know from it that it is really not easy to mix outside the customs!

For example, milking livestock in the harvested food, oh oh, for the officials who have "gentlemen and cooks", there is a feeling of dizziness in the head.

Seeing their solemn faces, Princess Taiping didn't want to scare them too much and said, "We're just using it just in case, it's likely that you won't use these things at all." ”
