Miao Zhong wiped the sweat from his head first, stood on tiptoe, and looked to the west. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

When he saw Zhou Quan walking with the group, he breathed a sigh of relief: this troublesome uncle is finally here.

It's not about Zhou Quan, but about Duan Heyu, who is by Zhou Quan's side.

This Duan prince traveled all the way, in accordance with the official arrangements of the Great Song Dynasty, and was very cooperative, but when he arrived in Xuzhou, he was named and wanted to go to Xuzhou Huanglou to have a look.

In his own words, he has heard the name of Su Shi for a long time, and now that he used to be the place where he was the governor of the state, there are also famous places that he rebuilt, how can he not go upstairs to take a look?

You must know that Su Shi is still among the members of the Yuanyou Party, although he can't help his writing, but it is a little inappropriate to visit the building he built with great fanfare.

What's more, Miao Zhongxian also made a small fortune with the stone tablet of Su Shi's Su Zhe brothers!

Now Miao Zhongxian also regrets his original move, he knew that Zhou Quan was so good at talking, why did he ruin his reputation for that little money and smash the stone tablet that the Su family brothers stood in front of the Yellow Building!

Without waiting for Zhou Quan and Duan Heyu to get close, Miao Zhong greeted him first. Soon Duan Heyu found that although this Xuzhou Zhizhou was polite to him, he was still a little arrogant in his politeness, but he was really respectful to Zhou Quan, and he couldn't wait to conjure a tail and shake it desperately to please Zhou Quan.

"With Master Zhou by your side, you don't need to be too old, and you don't need to be too guarded." Duan Heyu saw that Miao Zhong intended to accompany them upstairs first, and immediately spoke.

"If it doesn't work, how can I not accompany Zhuguo here!" Miao Zhongxian was suddenly unhappy.

Zhou Quan's face, he has seen little, and it is rare to have the opportunity to be familiar here, the king of Dali, but he is just a pillar country, where can he stop him!

"Huh?" Duan Heyu's expression changed slightly: "This king doesn't need your Excellency to accompany him. ”

When he said this, Duan Heyu looked a little unhappy, glared at Miao Zhongxian, and clearly said, "You know each other, get out of here", but Miao Zhongxian shook his head again and again: "What the lower officials want to accompany is the system." ”

Miao Zhongxian also said bluntly, you are a barbarian king of a small country, and you are not worthy of my accompaniment, it is Zhou Quan who really wants to pat me on the back!

This time, the two froze, glaring at each other, and neither was willing to give in. Zhou Quan looked funny, ignored them, and stepped upstairs first.

As soon as he left, the two of them, who were originally staring at each other like fighting cocks, had no choice but to follow them up to the Yellow Building.

In recent years, Xuzhou has been entrusted with the blessing of Li Guojian, and it has developed rapidly, and the Donghai Chamber of Commerce has placed a lot of industries here, so it has built several high-rise buildings. The Yellow Tower is no longer the highest place in Xuzhou, but looking east from here, the plains are reckless, and you can even see the black smoke of Diqiu dozens of miles away - as a city dominated by heavy industry, especially the developed smelting industry, Diqiu's environmental pollution is also very serious. Even if Zhou Quan has paid attention to every possible way, he still can't put an end to this problem.

But from a distance, it's not too ugly, as if the smoke is rising, at least Duan Heyu didn't figure it out, and praised it: "There is a burst of cooking smoke over there, and the Great Song Dynasty is really well-mouthed." ”

Then his gaze stopped in front of the east gate of Xuzhou, where he saw something he had never seen before.

Someone was building a road, but this road was different from other roads, but a high foundation was built with gravel, and sleepers were laid horizontally on top of it, and then the track was laid vertically.

Duan Heyu was stunned for a moment: "What is this doing, and, what ...... Seems to be steel? ”

"This is the railway, and the rails are laid." Miao Zhongxian said a little proudly: "Now that the road is built quickly, it won't take long for it to be fully passed." From Diqiu to Xuzhou, all goods can be transported by this rail, and the volume is even better than that of the canal! ”

The congestion of the canal has become more and more serious in the past two years, and it is too affected by the weather, even if Zhou Quan spent hundreds of thousands of times to dredge twice, the effect is not too obvious. Therefore, Zhou Quan thought of rail transportation, the technology of which was already available in the mines, and the explosive growth of steel production in Li Guojian also made it possible to build a railway from Xuzhou to Diqiu.

If the results of this experimental railway are relatively good, Zhou Quan is also ready to build a road to Haizhou, for this purpose, he allocated 300,000 yuan, and invited some famous bridge craftsmen in the Beijing division to study the method of building bridges on the big river with steel and cement. Nowadays, although it is not possible to build a real bridge, simple bridges are no longer a problem.

After Miao Zhong finished speaking, he glanced at Zhou Quan, and added: "This is the clear view of the Zhou system, the Zhou system is a pedantic celestial, and the road is cast with steel, which is difficult for the ancients to reach!" ”

It's just that the ancients couldn't reach it, Duan Heyu opened his mouth and couldn't speak for a while!

It's really steel on the ground!

This is not dirt and wood, but smelting and forging steel, Duan Heyu estimated, the amount of steel used to build this road alone is probably more than their total steel production in Dali in a year. In Dali, these will become swords and armor, tools and weapons, where will they be extravagant enough to spread on the ground!

Don't the Song people know how to steal?

"Now that iron is cheap, and these have steel stamps on them, it is not easy to steal them, and it is not easy to sell, and the reward for the blacksmith shop to report a thief is much more than if he received the iron at a low price!" Hearing Duan Heyu's question, Miao Zhongxian disagreed: "As for the steel output, not to mention, since the old lady took charge of the Li Guojian, the steel output has increased tenfold!" ”

He originally intended to boast about the prestige of the country, and at the same time touted the father and son of the Zhou family, but after Duan Heyu heard it, his eyes turned green when he looked at Zhou Quan.

Not only is Zhou Quan powerful, but he is even more powerful!

If Dali can have such steel production, why worry about the national strength is not strong? If his Duan family can have such a steel output, why worry about the powerful minister Gao?

Thinking of this, he couldn't care much more, even if Miao Zhongxian, an outsider, was present, he had no face, and knelt directly in front of Zhou Quan.

"Master Zhou, save me, save Xiao Wang!"

When he knelt down, Zhou Quan was stunned, and Miao Zhongxian was startled.

Just now, I was discussing the matter of the railway, why did the king of Dali kneel down in a blink of an eye?

At this time, Zhou Quan was in the Great Song Dynasty, and he could not be said to have the power of the world, but the interest group with him as the core of the link was enough to make anyone afraid of courtesy.

Therefore, like Li Bangyan and Wang Hao, even if they are the favored ministers of the Son of Heaven, Zhou Quan will fight when he says he will fight, and he will tease when he says he will tease. Because even Zhao Ji was a little helpless against Zhou Quan at this time.

But Dali Duan, after all, is the lord of a country, how can he bow down to Zhou Quan?

Miao Zhongxian suddenly remembered that he had also bowed down to Zhou Quan and begged him to give him good medicine to cure his greed for money. I can't help but be jealous in my heart: This good and decent prince also came to learn from himself, what kind of greed for money!

Zhou Quan came back to his senses and stretched out his hand to help Duan Heyu: "Why should Lord Duan be like this, I am young and shallow, where can I help the prince!" ”

"Xiao Wang has strong enemies outside, powerful ministers inside, everyone betrays relatives, and natural disasters continue. Now that the country will not be a country, if there is no plan from Master Zhou to save him, I am afraid that after I go back, I will either be killed by the ministers, or killed by the chaotic department, and ask Master Zhou to save me! ”

When Duan Heyu said this, he wiped his tears with his sleeve and cried really sadly.

Zhou Quan shook his head and helped him hard: "If there is something wrong with Lord Duan, please get up and speak, like this, what does it matter?" ”

"If Master Zhou refuses to give advice, Xiao Wang will not be able to worship for a long time!" Duan Heyu and his ministers had already discussed, so they bowed very thoroughly, even if Zhou Quan was strong and barely helped him up, but as soon as he let go, he knelt down again.

This made Zhou Quan a little crying and laughing: "Lord Duan, everything you said is your internal affairs, and I am a minister of the Great Song Dynasty, but it's hard to say anything!" ”

"It's hard to say, if Master Zhou is the minister of the Great Song Dynasty, Xiao Wang also called the Son of Heaven of the Great Song Dynasty, it is the Son of Heaven of the Great Song Dynasty who gave the title of Doctor Jin Ziguanglu, the inspector Sikong, the envoy of Yunnan Jiedu, the Shangzhu Kingdom, and the King of Dali, and Master Zhou is the minister of the same palace, and he is a colleague, and he also asks Master Zhou to save me!"

Miao Zhong heard this first, and couldn't help smacking his tongue: "Some time ago, I heard that the King of Goryeo asked for help, and I thought the rumors were wrong, but now I saw the King of Dali asking for help, and I know that the rumors are true!" ”

Zhou Quan didn't bother to pay attention to him, and glanced at Duan Heyu again, and had a faint idea in his heart.

Therefore, he said: "Although it is as Duan Wang Ye said, it is just that Zhou is shallow, and there is really nothing to be done!" ”

Duan Heyu was greatly mourned when he heard this, and he paused: "That is the case, after returning to China, Heyu is a death, and it is also a death here, and if he dies here, he can still be reborn in the Great Song Dynasty and be an ordinary family in Middle-earth." Today Duan, please die before Master Zhou! ”

After finishing speaking, he turned over and climbed up, climbed towards the railing of the Yellow Building, and was about to jump off the building to commit suicide!

Miao Zhong panicked first, he couldn't take Duan Heyu to heart, but if Duan Heyu died in the realm under his management, how could he get out of the relationship?

Therefore, he hurriedly stepped forward to pull, and Zhou Quan could only pull Duan Heyu to stop: "Why does Lord Duan need to be like this, I already have a plan!" ”

Duan Heyu was overjoyed when he heard this, and bowed down to Zhou Quan: "If you are given a plan, you will be grateful." ”

Zhou Quan groaned slightly, Duan Heyu was a little cunning, and the means were used in a row, first seducing him with a woman, then respecting him with a teacher, and now forcing him with death, so that he couldn't let go.

But if he really wants Duan Heyu to strengthen Dali and add a trouble to himself in the future, of course he is not happy.

Don't look at Dali now, Li Deming, the father of Li Yuanhao, was not deferential to the Great Song Dynasty, but once he had a little power, he immediately rebelled and became self-reliant, which became a huge disaster around the Great Song Dynasty!

"Just now Duan Wang Ye said, would you rather be an ordinary family in the Central Plains?" Zhou Quan asked.

"I, the king of Dali, am restrained everywhere, and if nothing goes well, I am not as good as the ordinary head of the Central Plains, and I can do my own business!" Duan Heyu sighed.

"That being the case, why did Prince Duan return to China? You can dedicate the Dali Tian household book to your majesty, with my great Song Dynasty official family benevolence, Duan's first hereditary prince What is the way? If the Gao family is unwilling, then he is a traitor of the Great Song Dynasty, and the imperial court will naturally issue a clear decree to expel him! ”

Duan Heyu was dumbfounded, he spent a long time trying his strength, and he didn't even want face, Zhou Quan gave him such an idea? (To be continued.) )
