Verse 719 The princess walked eight thousand miles
Two thin railroads stretch out into the distant wilderness, and there seems to be no end in sight. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
In the heat rising, the railroad seemed to be twisting.
People watched intently, and they looked so attentive, as if they were looking at a peerless beauty.
They have paid a lot of hard work for it, fighting the scorching heat and cold wind, all of them are tanned and their faces are as black as Kunlun slaves, and everyone is thin and there is no fat man.
It's finally done!
A whistle sounded in the distance, and the earth trembled incessantly.
Then the image of the heat cracked, and a steel behemoth roared, dragging its long tail.
The crowd applauded, and everyone's eyes were filled with joyful smiles.
It worked!
Kung Fu does not pay for the heart, to Shijiazhuang (the former Shiguo capital, located in the Tashkent region of Uzbekistan, now renamed Shijiazhuang) railway opened!
The Tang people are infrastructure madmen, they opened Yumen----- Hami---- Turpan------ Urumqi---- Dushanzi ---- Abby Lake outside the Guan, almost a copy of the Lanxin railway line, and the wisdom of the ancients and the present has this.
Then turn around from Lake Abbey and head southeast to the Ili River---- Lake Issyk-Kul, west, west! Until Shijiazhuang!
There is a section of railway in the middle from Turpan to Bosten Lake and Qiuzi, and the total length of the railway is more than 3,000 kilometers!
This railway has both the Great Lake area with abundant water and grass, and the boundless Gobi Desert, which is far enough. The terrain is complex, most of the area passes through the Gobi desert area, a large number of bridges and tunnels need to be built, to prevent the settlement of the foundation (such as sand), border protection (next to the mountain, may landslide, debris flow, etc., must protect the slope), etc., the difficulty of the project is unimaginable, and the construction and transportation are extremely difficult.
After all, it was built, and it was a double line!
After the completion and opening to traffic, we will be able to communicate with each other, develop industry, agriculture, animal husbandry, and mine mining in various regions, and the regional economy will certainly make a leap forward, and the construction of railways will definitely not lose money.
Besides, the man of the Western Regions once said: Where the railway goes, the territory of the empire will reach!
Every conqueror and builder of the Western Regions will not waste their blood and sweat, which makes them more motivated.
……
The train gasped and came to a slow stop by the platform.
The military band played a welcome song, the door of the train box opened, a beautiful woman walked down slowly, and all the people present knelt down and said: "See Her Royal Highness the Princess!" His Royal Highness Chitose Chitose Chitose! ”
When he shouted, he had a lot of energy, and his voice was loud, obviously convinced.
It was the respected Princess Taiping, the mistress of the Western Regions, who greeted her!
A woman with the great wisdom of her mother, she is well organized, the economy is developed, the people live a prosperous life, and the happiness of the people under the governance is high.
Take this railway as an example, it was a project beyond the times in that era, and there were many difficulties, but she overcame them one by one and finally completed it!
Such a big project, everyone likes it, everyone has benefited, strong support for the railway, and is full of love for her.
Princess Taiping looked around, saw everyone prostrate, her face showed a slight look of disappointment, and raised her hand and said, "All the ministers are flat!" ”
She agreed with her husband that everyone would cut the ribbon of the newly opened site here, but Wei Xi missed the appointment.
"Your Royal Highness Princess Xie!" Everyone stood up, and the leading figures who arrived first, such as Liu Xianli, Zhang Renyuan, and Lou Shide, all stepped forward to welcome her arrival.
Then there was an operation, an open-air meeting, Princess Taiping led a group of senior officials and advanced elements to sit on the rostrum, and below were other advanced elements, engineering team personnel, military, immigrants, etc.
First the leader spoke, the worker representative spoke, and then the reward was announced!
Compared with the previous projects, the projects in the Western Regions made more use of monetary rewards rather than coercion, such as a labor competition, in which various engineering teams competed to see who could complete the work task quickly and well, and the pioneers were rewarded.
Selection of advanced engineering teams, advanced individuals, hard work to get rich, labor glory!
The social atmosphere is changing, and the engineering efficiency in the Western Regions is much higher than that in the mainland, and everyone is working hard in exchange for legal remuneration, which is also the ardent expectation of the princess and Princess Taiping.
On the same day, a total of 16 engineering teams and more than 300 advanced individuals were awarded by Princess Taiping and a number of senior officials, giving them certificates, pennants, bonuses, etc.
is very familiar with the characteristics of the Heaven/Dynasty Dynasty, Wei Xi copied it, and the results from Princess Taiping and below, all of them were shocked!
In doing so, he advocated that labor can change life, that labor can gain honor, money, and even social status, so that the laborers can willingly come to work hard, and receive extremely good results, and the difficult and difficult railway can be successfully completed, which can be seen.
Finally, there was the ribbon-cutting ceremony, Princess Taiping cut the ribbon with golden scissors, announcing the official opening of Shijiazhuang Station!
In the midst of the noise of gongs and drums, all the people applauded and cheered enthusiastically!
The train connects to the conquered places, which means that the blood of the front-line soldiers and the sweat of the builders are not in vain, and everything that has been done has paid off.
As Princess Taiping pointed out in her speech: "The soldiers in front have laid down the country, and the builders in the rear have consolidated the country, and the contributions are big and small, but they have all contributed to the empire!"
After that, it was a special dinner of the Celestial Dynasty, where everyone ate and drank!
The car that came with Princess Taiping was carrying ingredients, all kinds of delicacies from the mountains and seas, including dried scallops, dried shrimp, dried oysters, dried fish, dried vegetables, dried mushrooms, etc., plus slaughtered pigs, cattle, sheep and horses, and even chickens and ducks!
It's a hearty meal, and what makes everyone happy is that there is still wine!
Of course, the wine brought by the princess was not too bad, it was all the Dongshen wine and Xihai wine made in her house, which were world-class famous wines (no country can compare), and they were served freely, and almost everyone drank high.
But the princess didn't drink much, toasted everyone three times, and left. (It's not that she's arrogant, her position is there, others don't dare to let go of drinking, and she is not happy enough)
……
The adults accompanied her into her camp and sat down, and Princess Taiping asked impatiently, "Where did the horse go?" ”
Lou Shide, who was in charge of logistics for Wei Xi, unfolded the map and showed her the nine kingdoms of Zhaowu, Khorasan, Persia, and finally the two river valleys.
Although the map is not very accurate (but it is already proud of other countries), it can also be measured that Shijiazhuang is more than 5,000 miles away from the two river basins in a straight line!
"The palace and the horse are thousands of miles apart!"
Princess Taiping is a person who eats porridge overnight (describing her as having two strokes and being a sharp sister), and she was a little stunned when she saw such a long distance.
She hadn't seen the colt for a long time, and she missed it very much, and rushed here, not wanting the pony to play in which mountain!
So Zhang Renyuan comforted her and said: "Your Royal Highness Princess, this distance is really nothing, haven't you also traveled eight thousand miles!" ”
"Perhaps, I am the one who has gone the farthest among the princesses of the Tang Dynasty!" Princess Taiping woke up and muttered.
Yes, there is also a journey of 8,000 miles from the Shendu in the Central Plains of the Tang Dynasty to Shijiazhuang outside the Western Regions!
"What about eight thousand miles, our train is fifty miles and one hour (weights and measures have been invented by Wei Xi), and it will arrive in seven days!" Liu Xianli said proudly.
"Thousands of miles to the plane, Guan Shan is like flying!" Lou Shide shook his head and groaned, and said to Liu Xianli: "Old Liu, your task is quite heavy, you have to build the railway to the two river valleys!" ”
Liu Xianli snorted and said, "I have to go back to my senses!" ”
The latest news, Liu Xianli also learned from the female official of Princess Taiping.
He didn't want to go back at all!
Doing business here, everyone is comrades, no matter how tired and hard, they are very happy, and now go back to the chaotic Shendu, say insincere words, and waste time!
"You go back to Shendu, is it the proposal of the palace, or to build the railway, Uncle Wei (Wei Zhiwei) is not as familiar with the business as you, the progress is not good, go back and you help him repair the railway, it will not have much to do with God, so as not to change the old Uncle Wei!" Princess Taiping told the reason.
I see!
The struggle in the officialdom was all the time, and Wei Zhiwei presided over the construction of the railway in the Guannei, but the level was not as good as Liu Xianli, which led to the dissatisfaction of the imperial court.
As for the construction of the railway here, don't worry, there are talents in the Taiping Princess shogunate.
It is even more impossible for the imperial court to send someone to grab this position, if it is not as good as Princess Taiping's intentions, she is not a good man and a woman, she is a princess who can kill!
"However, there is one more thing, to discuss with all the gentlemen, Wu Chengsi is coming, patrol the border!" Princess Taiping said slowly.
"Wu Chengji is coming?" Everyone can't believe that the empress's own nephew, who was named the king of Wei and the left minister of Wenchang (the first person in Wenchen), is expected to become the crown prince to come to patrol the border?
"No, Wu Chengji has been removed from his position!" Princess Taiping is surprisingly authentic.
He was deposed! Who did this to you? Everyone let out bursts of exclamations, admiring the person who shot it.
