Chapter 748: The Steam Engine Truck Crew Operation Begins
Listening to the analysis of these ministers, Ben Gongzi's brows became more and more wrinkled, but it was Yaoguang Sister and Li Xuanba who were quietly exchanging something on the side, but there was no big reaction, which made Ben Gongzi a little worried, for fear that the sister and brother were angry and overwhelmed, and they were wondering whether to bring troops over to help their father privately.
I leaned over and coughed lightly. "Lady, what are you discussing?"
"Husband? It's nothing, just discuss with Xuanba, what kind of strategy can be used to take Jinyang in the fastest time. After the Yaoguang girl turned around and smiled at me, she pointed her finger at the position of Jinyang on the sand table and said.
Ben Gongzi couldn't help but be stunned, and he didn't understand what Yaoguang meant at all.
When Sister Yaoguang saw my expression, she couldn't help but smile, and then said confidently. "Husband, in this situation, my father is afraid that he will not be able to stand it, when the time comes, if my husband wants to dominate the world, then the land of Shanxi must be necessary. With the land of Shanxi, Li Mi, Liang Shidu and Liu Wuzhou can be attacked in the north, Wang Shichong can be conquered in the south, and Dou Jiande can be rejected in the east according to the trend of the Taihang Mountains......"
“…… Wife. "I looked at the Yaoguang girl, I was both moved and distressed, for fear that this girl would suppress the sadness in her heart and think about me here.
"Husband, isn't there already a perfect plan for the arrangement around my father?" Sister Yaoguang winked cutely at me and whispered.
"Uh...... How do you know? Ben Gongzi couldn't help but roll his eyes, and his eyes fell on Du Ruhui's body, and Du Ruhui squeezed his eyebrows at Ben Gongzi and then shrunk his neck and shrank into the crowd.
"Husband, you've done so much, and you're still hiding it from your concubine." The Yaoguang girl's red lips were pursed high, looking very cute. "Two days ago, when you were discussing things with Du Shangshu, the concubine overheard a few words, so she forced Du Shangshu to ask, husband won't blame me, right?"
"This ...... Do you blame you? In fact, it is for the husband to surprise you. I scratched my hair and said with some embarrassment. Not only did it surprise Yaoguang's sister, but at the same time, there was also a fear that too many people would know and leak the news, so I never told Yaoguang.
After thinking about it, I told again: "By the way, you sisters and brothers must not say anything outside, my trick will only be used when I am really forced to do so, if you let your father know in advance, no one knows what will happen." ”
"Don't worry, husband, I didn't even sue this kid." The Yaoguang girl leaned into my ear and whispered, and raised her eyebrows proudly, that arrogant and bright appearance made people want to take a bite.
"Then why is Xuanba so calm?" I glanced at Li Xuanba, who was still dumbfounded, and whispered in Yaoguang's ear.
"Because I sue him, just listen to me, and nothing will happen to my father and brothers." Yaoguang's sister's answer made me deeply touched, just one sentence here, which can make Li Xuanba calm down so much, can only show that this guy's brain capacity is really pitiful.
Well, as early as a few years ago, Ben Gongzi sent some secret sentinels and internal responses to sneak into Tang Guogong's subordinates on errands, you must know that these people who were picked out were all top, so now, even among the guards around Li Yuan, there are five of them sent by Ben Gongzi.
As for the other brothers of the Li family, there are also internal responses of this son, and in addition, in the land of Shanxi, there are really a lot of detailed works sent by this son in the past. So small that there is an intelligence station in every county.
Because, Ben Gongzi has already regarded the land of Shanxi as a thing in his pocket, so he naturally will not be indifferent to watching the land of Shanxi being invaded by those Central Plains heroes after Li Yuan falls.
And these arrangements are all under the instruction of this son, presided over by Du Ruhui himself, but I didn't expect that Yaoguang sister actually listened to it, it is really embarrassing, it seems that Du Ruhui is not to blame, but this son lacks a sense of confidentiality, well, next time you must pay attention.
However, with Li Yuanfang's guards, those who can overhear my son talking about business are my mother-in-law, at most my daughter-in-law and mother-in-law.
"Your Majesty, the Xue brothers don't want to come to Chang'an, but hope to be able to go ashore directly on the Wei River and join the army to atonement their crimes. I don't know what you mean...... At this time, after Du Ruhui saw that Ben Gongzi's face had turned peaceful, he hurriedly came over and asked.
"What sin? The land of Youyan is not up to the two of them, if they lose it, they will lose it, and they will still be able to get it back in the future. I touched my chin and said. However, since the two of them wanted to stay there, they could do so. I have already ordered the Jianghuai Army to be reorganized and reorganized, and three armies will be reorganized at that time, so let them serve under the account of General Qu Tu. Their platoons are also at the discretion of General Qu Tu. ”
"This is a good idea, with the Xue brothers here, General Qu Tu will be able to make it easier." Wei Yunqi nodded and said with satisfaction. "But Your Majesty, the most important thing now is to send officials over."
After thinking about it, I nodded and said: "For the time being, we only appoint personnel from the court, procuratorate, and the Independent Commission Against Corruption to the past, as for the local officials, there is no need to move for the time being, after all, the land of Jianghuai and Lingnan generally take the initiative to submit, so there is no need to make them too nervous for the time being." ”
"What is the situation in Lingnan now?" I asked Du Ruhui.
"The situation is quite good, Feng Guogong is very cooperative, and now, a large number of officials have been retrained and then taken to work, plus the three systems of police, procuratorate, and law are in our hands, and the people of Lingnan are relatively peaceful. In addition, the soldiers and horses in the Lingnan region have been almost trained, and in addition to one army being sent to Jiaozhi, another army will be dispatched to Shu to be stationed in Shu to ensure that the standard of garrisoning troops in other places ......"
"That's good, the garrison in other places must be strictly implemented, this is a major national policy, and it cannot be ignored." I glanced at all the important ministers present and said solemnly.
"Your Majesty can rest assured, and the ministers should obey it." Wei Yunqi replied solemnly.
"Okay, okay, this is not the court, you don't have to be polite, by the way, Wu Shangshu, how is the railway being built now?" I turned my head to Samurai Tong and asked.
"By the end of this month at the latest, a single line will be completed, and the new steam locomotive has been tested, and it can travel about two hundred and twenty miles per hour, which is sixty miles higher than the previous No. 4 locomotive. In addition, its towing capacity can reach 70 tons, which is 45 tons higher than that of locomotive No. 4. Samurai Tong reported with a red face.
Hearing this news, everyone couldn't help but be speechless, and Sister Yaoguang couldn't help but ask curiously. "How many buses can you tow?"
"Back to Her Royal Highness, it is expected that you can tow five passenger cars." The warrior replied hurriedly.
The Yaoguang girl couldn't help but stare at the apricot eyes. "That means it can carry more than 500 people? Husband, it's so powerful. ”
"Well, okay, Wu Qing, when are you going to test it?" I was also a little excited, and every hour was two hundred and twenty miles, which was fifty-five kilometers an hour, and although it was not as fast as the express trains of later generations, it was much faster than the slow trains. From here to Yan'an, it only takes more than three hours to arrive.
"Your Majesty, we're going to test it in half a month. Now the passenger car is still being painted, and the commissioning and installation of the windows has not yet been completed. ”
"Well, by the way, send someone to the newspaper to announce that three hundred volunteers will be selected from among the common people to test the car." Ben Gongzi rubbed his fingers happily. "In addition, give a hundred places to the major trading companies, and as for the other names, you can choose your own candidates."
"Husband, why don't we go sit down and taste something new?" The Yaoguang girl came to my side and whispered, looking excited, like a little girl who wanted to ride the merry-go-round.
"What's the hurry? Our specially customized carriage has not yet been completed, so wait. Ben Gongzi lowered his voice and whispered in Yaoguang's ear.
"Our family?"
"Of course, it is a specially made royal train, a total of ten cars, including four guard cars, a stable, a kitchen, two bedrooms, a dining room, and a living room." Ben Gongzi counted with his fingers.
"So much?" Yaoguang girl's eyes suddenly burst into stars. "Can you still sleep on the train?"
"Of course, in the future, after the emergence of steam locomotives with greater and stronger towing force, sleeper cars will be promoted, after all, what we need now is the transportation volume, and comfort is ranked behind." I nodded.
These ministers are also muttering non-stop, well, they are all a little excited, when the train really becomes a practical means of transportation, it will play a powerful role in boosting the future of the entire Chinese Empire.
In the end, I can only watch Dou Jiande's expansion and development first, but I also sent a letter to Li Shimin, I believe that this guy should also know very well how difficult the situation of the old Li family is now.
Half a month later, in the Chang'an Railway Station on the east side of Chang'an, there were at least thousands of people watching the excitement or waiting to enjoy the steam locomotive trip in the huge and spacious waiting room of the railway station and on the platform. If it weren't for the guards, someone might have squeezed them down the platform.
"Should you be here?" Samurai wiped the stinky sweat from his forehead and looked south expectantly.
"Don't worry, it's still some time to come." I said after looking at the copper kettle dripping. Well, it's inconvenient to not have a watch in this era, but the problem is that the watch is not something that my poor knowledge of physics can make, and although I know the name and appearance of the dragger, I have long forgotten how it works.
Although I did describe the principles I knew to the skilled craftsmen, I don't know how much work it took to get from the principle to the finished product.
"There's too many people coming, right? Brother-in-law, what should I do in a while? Li Xuanba saw the crowd in the station and on the platform, and couldn't help but speak.
