However, at present, the more important thing is how to increase the power of the steam locomotive, use the least fuel, and play a greater role. I don't know exactly what the maximum power is, but I think that at least a steam locomotive should be able to tow a thousand tons of cargo to be considered standard.

However, if it is possible to tow 12 cars for more than two days in a row, then it will be directly put into mass production. Contribute to the transportation of the future Chinese Empire.

Since last year, preparations have been made for the industrialization of steam locomotives, and the No. 6 locomotive can be manufactured around the end of autumn, if the trial is good, then in terms of the plant, staff and machinery that have been prepared, it is expected to produce ten steam locomotives in three months from the beginning of next year.

In the year after tomorrow, it is expected that the annual output will reach 80 units, and three years later, the annual output will reach 300 steam locomotives. In three years, it is expected that more than 20,000 miles of double lines will be laid in Guanzhong and the surrounding areas.

Today's achievements have filled everyone with confidence, so everyone raised their hands in agreement for another increase in steel production capacity. The thought of being able to travel thousands of miles in just a few hours.

In the future, if there is any turmoil or war on the border of a certain territory of the Chinese Empire, then it only takes three days to transport tens of thousands of elite divisions that have been prepared to their destination.

The development of the Chinese Empire is really jaw-dropping, and in a few years, it has gone from the era of manpower to the age of animal power and to the age of steam.

And just this month, when my uncle came to visit his mother, he finally talked about his hope that the fifth child would come out to do a big job.

"Gorou is getting older now, and in a few months, he will also be a father, so it's time to do something serious." The mother nodded quite naturally.

"Since you agree, sister, then my brother will recommend Gorou to the court to go to Luzon to serve as governor." The old uncle was relieved and stroked his long beard and said.

"Well, that's it...... Well? What are you talking about, brother?! The mother came back to her senses halfway through the conversation, and couldn't help but look at her uncle with wide-eyed eyes.

My uncle remained calm. "Sister, for my brother, let Gorou go to Luzon to be the governor."

"Luzon, the island that you have to cross the ocean to get there?" My mother's eyes widened again, and then she suddenly turned back to look at me, and my son showed a shocked expression as quickly as he could, as if he had heard about it for the first time today.

Well, for the sake of my personal safety, it's hard to fight, uncle, it's good for you to be the first bird, and it's better for a weak young man like my nephew to retreat behind the scenes and give advice.

My mother glanced at me, and after finding nothing broken, she aimed at my uncle. "No, this can't be done, so far away, at least nearly 10,000 miles away from us. Da Lang passed away early, and this Erlang and San Lang are not angry, and now, there are only two children around my sister, and I can't stand anyone without them. ”

"Mother, you forgot about jì, and your sister is innocent." Ben Gongzi cautiously stepped forward and interjected, in exchange for the fierce eyes of his mother. "Shut up, old man talk to your uncle, and go."

Ben Gongzi could only flash to the other end of the living room in the snickering laughter of the two mothers-in-law, and after secretly cleaning up the two mothers-in-law who did not talk like him, he leaned on the sofa and continued to listen to the answer between his mother and uncle with his ears stunned.

The two mothers-in-law covered their buttocks and pouted their mouths, but they still obediently did not squeak.

The old man smiled and shook his head. "Sister, doing this for my brother is not only for the court, but also for him, as well as the royal prestige."

"Royal majesty, with Shiro here, who dares to say that he is not doing well?" The mother didn't like to hear this, and immediately retorted. "Besides, so far away, why should I let my son go, and the others can't?"

I need to criticize my mother's attitude of only caring about herself and ignoring the country, but I don't dare, and I believe that my uncle doesn't dare, after all, my mother is now the queen mother.

"Wuji is the Son of Heaven, and what he does is known to the whole world and praised by everyone...... However, if the Chinese Empire wants to develop the islands beyond the ocean, if no heavyweight dares to be the first, then the people will be hesitant. Now, taking advantage of the war and the difficulty of the displaced people to return to their hometowns, they just happened to migrate the people to the islands, and when they took root in the islands, then these resource-rich islands belonged to the empire. ”

"Gorou is the younger brother of the Son of Heaven, if he is an example, then when the Son of Heaven promulgates an edict to persuade the people to move in the future, who else in the world dares to say that His Majesty has harmed the interests of others? not only appeased the people, but also set an example for the people of the world, so that it was easier to win the trust of the world. ”

The uncle persuaded him for a long time, drank two cups of tea, and foamed at the mouth, and his mother did not let go even if she gritted her teeth and beat her to death.

The uncle was speechless, and after a while, the uncle took a deep breath. "Sister, in fact, I won't tell you anything, my brother has already written a memora and is ready to submit it to the court at the court meeting the day after tomorrow."

The uncle took out a notebook from his arms and put it in front of his mother, who looked at his uncle with a stunned face, and after seeing his uncle's eyes, he picked up the notebook and opened it. "Brother, you are ......"

"If you can't convince your sister, then the old man can only ask the Son of Heaven for this position." Uncle's words made my son jump up all of a sudden, walked closer in three or five steps, and took the book from his mother's hand.

Sure enough, my uncle volunteered to go to the Governor of Luzon for military administration. Contribute to the future of the Chinese Empire.

I put the book together, and I was about to refuse directly, but I saw my uncle wink at me strangely. The refusal that I almost blurted out was suffocated back into my belly.

"Uncle, you ...... Alas, this is called how I am good. My son turned around, and after seeing his mother's shocked expression, he quickly put on a heavy and sad expression.

"Brother, you have just returned from Cochin, how can you leave? You're gone, what will happen to your mother? Sure enough, my mother was in a hurry, got up and came to my uncle's side and said anxiously.

"If you don't go for my brother, who can go? Who can leave the court and the people speechless? The uncle spread his hands and looked impassioned.

This really stumped my mother, and after a long struggle, my mother sighed. "Brother, what a ...... Alas, Gorou has not been married for a long time, and the children have not yet been born, how can he go? At least he has to wait until his child is born, no, until the end of this year, right? ”

"My sister can understand the righteousness so deeply, and I am very relieved for my brother." Hearing his mother's answer, my uncle let out a long breath, and then said. "Sister rest assured, a certain person will naturally not let Gorou go alone. When the time comes, the true line will also go with him. ”

Zhenxing is Gao Zhenxing, the fourth son of his uncle, now twenty-five years old, is now serving in the army, quite brave and wise, and is currently the division commander of the Chang'an Garrison Army, and he can be regarded as a general in the younger generation.

In the end, the mother did not object, and agreed to wait until the end of this year, let the old five Wuyi go to Luzon, of course, there are also a lot of credits of this son, for example, I sued the mother, at most five years later, from Chang'an to Cochin, it only takes one day to take the train.

And from Luzon to Cochin, if the wind is downwind, it takes three days to take the flying shear boat, that is, it is faster than the previous time from Chang'an to Yan'an. My mother had seen trains, and she had already known about the convenience of trains when Ben Gongzi boasted at home.

Since it seems that it is not far away, and there will be a holiday every year to go back to Chang'an, my mother didn't say anything else.

I personally sent my uncle outside the house. "Uncle, today is really hard for you, I can't imagine that you can even do such a ruthless trick as volunteering." Standing outside the gate of the mansion, waiting for my uncle's guards to drive the carriage over, I said with a smile in my heart.

"To be honest, if your brother doesn't go, the old man will have to go out in person." The old man said with a stern face. "After all, if you need to set an example in this matter, only the old man and your brother can do it. Other people, after all, are different from each other. ”

Uncle's words made me speechless, indeed, if the fifth child does not come forward, then my uncle is really the most suitable choice, the Son of Heaven's own uncle can go, who dares to be crooked?

However, my uncle had just returned from Cochin, and he was finally reunited, so he should not have let him cross the ocean again. The development of Luzon is a necessary national strategy, and someone needs to stand up after all. Fortunately, my mother also understood this, otherwise, I would have had to persuade my mother myself.

My uncle is already in his early fifties, and although his body is tough, he is not a young man after all. If something happens, do you want to let grandma send a white-haired person to a black-haired person?

At least the fifth child is young and strong, and his body is on the rise in all aspects, far stronger than his uncle, well, this sentence is a bit of a suspicion of boasting, but I have decided that from now on, I will require the fifth child to insist on exercising every day, increase immunity, and save the weak and can't help but go to Luzon, and a mosquito will make him uh.

Seeing my uncle leave, I felt a lot of emotion in my heart, my uncle is not only for the country, but also for my nephew, who will do this, otherwise, who wants to travel thousands of miles across the ocean?

"Daddy, is my uncle gone?" The big girl came to my side with big black eyes, looked up at me and said.

"Well, my uncle has gone back. Little guy, how did you get out? I asked with a smile as I hugged the big girl in my arms.

"I woke up, my sister and brother were still sleeping, I didn't make any noise with them, so I came out to play first." The big girl's milky words in the night are warm to listen to, and what a sensible child.
