Chapter 540: Just make a deal

Soon, the Qilin Army's vigorous promotion of electricity was known to the imperial court. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

For electric lights, the imperial court has long been eager to use them, since the electric lights were started in Rufen Town, the night is as bright as day, the imperial court has long asked Li Chu for this thing, but later due to some reasons of restrictions, Li Chu refused.

The last time was when Li Chu took Yang Kang to Tokyo, in exchange for the construction of a small hydroelectric generator in the name of Yang Kang's champion, after all, it is a small generator, and the electricity that can be generated is limited, at most it is to supply the lighting used by several palaces of Song Huizong, and there are still 80% of the entire imperial city that do not use electricity, and many concubines who are favored by Song Huizong have used various tricks, and in the end Song Huizong did not agree.

After using it, I realized the preciousness of electricity. In addition, although Li Chu got them electricity, he didn't leave a maintenance master, they didn't understand this thing, and they couldn't pull the cable to other positions.

The whole palace is like this, not to mention outside the palace, what was originally used is still used.

Now, after knowing that the Qilin Army is vigorously promoting electricity and the electricity price is so low, the imperial court is excited.

It's finally time to put the lights on the city of Tokyo.

The cause of this matter was first proposed by a minister in the court who was inclined to enjoy, after enjoying the bright lights in the hall, it was a little uncomfortable to see the dim room at night when he returned home, plus for other reasons, he had been paying attention to the movements of the Qilin Army, and now he found this and immediately mentioned it in the court.

"Since this Qilin Army plans to implement this electric light in Jiangnan, why don't the officials issue a holy decree and let this Li Chu also install this electric light in the entire Bianjing City?"

As a result, this proposal was quickly responded to by the ministers.

Since the Qilin Army has such a sharp weapon, why not directly build a railway from Jiangnan to the capital, so that the grain in the south of the Yangtze River will be continuously and quickly transported to Bianjing, which can not only alleviate the food crisis in the capital, but also many things in the south of the Yangtze River can be transported as soon as possible.

The minister who proposed the railway, perhaps a foodie, gave an example, lychees, bananas, and flowers and plants in Jiangnan.

"If the railway from Rufen Town is built to Bianjing, won't the lychees, bananas and other things from Guangnan be delivered within a day?"

Lichee?

Banana?

Flowers and plants in Jiangnan?

Song Huizong was moved.

Just to make the entire Bianjing City as bright as day at night, he couldn't hold back the excitement in his heart, if the railway was built again......

Electricity, everyone is in support of one heart.

However, on the railway, some people in the DPRK and China are not happy, and there are many opponents.

These opponents have a characteristic, that is, there are fields around Bianjing, and this field is still a paddy field.

If this railway is to be built to Kaifeng Mansion, then the prices in Bianjing will have to drop drastically, which will affect their interests, so naturally they can't agree.

However, there are too few voices of opposition.

The paddy fields are limited, and this is just a small profit, and many literati value the one day to the south of the Yangtze River.

One day to Jiangnan.

If you are on vacation, you can take a train to Gangnam for a day, what is it like......

Hearing that after the railway was built, he could go down to the south of the Yangtze River anytime and anywhere, Song Huizong was moved and even excited.

Since ancient times, Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty built the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal in order to make it difficult to go down the Yangtze River, resulting in the people's misery, and finally various uprisings broke out. Qin Shi Huang went to the south of the Yangtze River several times, and it was even more laborious and costly. To be a virtuous monarch and a holy monarch, it is natural that he cannot be compared with those previous emperors.

But.

When going south to Jiangnan is not so laborious and costly, it only takes a train to arrive in less than a day.

When I went south to Jiangnan, I no longer needed so much money, so I ......

Not to mention Song Huizong, even the courtiers below are all excited.

So, the matter of the railway was so happily decided.

Song Huizong gave Li Chu a decree, and since Li Chu was in Rufen Town, this holy decree was directly sent to Ruzhou, and it was delivered to Li Chu in one day.

Want to install a light circuit in Bianjing?

Yes!

Do you want to build a railway to Bianjing?

OK!

It's very easy to add the railway to Bianjing. Anyway, the terminal station of the Jiangnan Railway is Rufen Town, and it is enough to build another railway directly between Rufen Town and Bianjing City, Kaifeng Prefecture, so that it will be connected.

If you go directly to Kaifeng from Jiangning and go straight to Kaifeng Mansion, forget it, Li Chu doesn't have so many custom coins.

After all, it's not far from Rufen Town to Kaifeng Mansion, it's very close, it's just a matter of spending some custom coins to build a road, and you don't need too many custom coins.

Regarding the railway, Li Chu was afraid that the imperial court would not agree.

After all, the military status of this thing is too important, once the railway is repaired to Kaifeng Mansion and built into Bianjing City, does that mean that the train of the Qilin Army can enter Bianjing City at any time? From a military point of view, once the railway is built, it means that Bianjing City is always under the threat of the Qilin Army.

Originally, Li Chu was afraid that someone in the imperial court would know about the danger here, so it would be difficult to mention it to them.

Now they have taken the initiative to bring it up.

That's just right.

Just make a deal with the imperial court on this matter, and see if the imperial court can show any sincerity in exchange.

As for the matter of the circuit lamp, this matter is also not actively mentioned by the imperial court, and Li Chu will also take the initiative to bring it up.

Since it was decided to take the road of controlling the Son of Heaven to control the world, then the future capital will be Kaifeng.

Although he wanted to set the capital of Chang'an, but the capital of Chang'an was a matter of the future, at least in the period of controlling the Son of Heaven to control the world, the capital was still in Kaifeng.

In this case, it is inevitable to pave circuits and power grids for Kaifeng, and it is just a matter of time.

Song Huizong took the initiative to bring it up, isn't this another bargaining chip for Li Chu?

Anyway, it will be paved at that time, and it is just at this time to use it as an excuse.

However, Li Chu did not agree directly, but wrote an excerpt to the little yellow door that passed the message, asking him to take it back to Song Huizong.

The content of the excerpt states the difficulties in the construction of these two things, as well as the funds needed to build them, which means that this matter can be done, but it is too difficult, please forgive Li Chu for not agreeing.

After the excerpt was given to Xiao Huangmen, Li Chu continued to return to the courtyard to accompany Ah Xiu.

In the past month or so, a lot has happened in the imperial court.

Now Tong Guan, who is on the side of Yanyun in the northeast, has suffered a big defeat!

After the Jin people learned that Tong Guan had sent troops to Yanyun, Wanyan Aguda also began to act, and he didn't care about recuperation, and the army directly sent troops in the Shangjing area to attack the Liao people's Zhongjing Dading Mansion, and the Liao people's reinforcement support was not timely defeated by the Jin people, and Wanyan Aguda occupied the Zhongjing Dading Mansion.
