It seems unreasonable to exchange food for population, but it is a piece of cake for the Mongolian kings, they don't have to leave people, just leave most of the food and goods, out of a small part, so that the scattered Outer Mongolia can be out of people, Inner Mongolia and the Qing Dynasty joined forces to pry out the population of Outer Mongolia together, this matter is obvious, but in front of interests, the kings of Inner Mongolia will not care about the life and death of Outer Mongolia, and this year's grassland is too cold, even if there is no heavy snowstorm, this excessive cold is also a disaster!

The court gave grain, Mongolia sent people, this matter was originally Mongolia took a big advantage, it can be regarded as the court's favor to Mongolia, as for the favor to Inner Mongolia or the favor to Outer Mongolia, this matter has to be told by the Mongolian princes themselves.

Train, the imperial court funded the construction, Mongolia to pay some manpower, is also the imperial court to Mongolia's favor, this is also a good way for Mongolia and the Qing court to get closer, with the train, the Qing emperor can always inspect Mongolia, Mongolian princes can often go to Beijing to visit the emperor of the Qing Dynasty, the relationship between the Manchu and Mongolian families is closer.

As for the strong men and horses who patrol the suburbs of Beijing by train, it is a good move, and the elite Cheng dù of these horses, among the Mongolian kings, there are also capable people who can see and understand, and with this, it means that the imperial court has a deterrent effect on Mongolia.

Although the imperial court's control over Inner Mongolia is very strong, but these Mongolian princes' territories still have some flavor of a country within a country, as for Outer Mongolia, it is completely the nature of a feudal state, among the Mongolian ministers of the imperial court, how many are from Outer Mongolia, and they are not all Inner Mongolia's people?

This meeting has come to this point, and it is almost the alliance of the kings of Inner Mongolia. After signing a very solemn covenant with the imperial court, the Mongol kings returned to their respective territories without stopping, and the time was pressing, whether they could send the men and horses of Outer Mongolia to Beijing before the heavy snow closed the road, it was not certain!

If you don't hurry up, what will you do with the food for the winter?

"Your Majesty, if this thing is done in less than ten years, Inner and Outer Mongolia will be the place where Your Majesty has the final say!"

In the Dongnuan Pavilion, Yang Meng and the four-color stick leaned crookedly on the royal collapse. I fiddled with the warm hand stove. Yang Meng said something that made the four-color stick more interested.

"Ten years is too long, just be shorter!"

Hegemony, who doesn't want to be close at hand? Ten years, for a young four-color stick. It's been a little longer!

"It's not impossible to be shorter. Just ......"

"Just what? As long as I can do it. The third brother said! ”

As soon as I heard it, the time could be shortened, and the eyes of the four-colored stick lit up, and the bones of the body sat up straight.

"Lack of people! Build the railroad outside the city. It took 200,000 people a month, a total of only 80 miles!

How many miles from Beijing to Outer Mongolia? 200,000 people 80 miles a month, 2 million people 800 li, 20 million people 80,000 li, except for the opening of mountains and digging stones to meet the water and build bridges and the like, if your majesty gathers 20 million people, half a year will be about the same! ”

If you really want to build a railway, I am afraid that it will be difficult for 20 million people to repair this railway connecting Beijing and Outer Mongolia for a whole year, this account is not calculated like this, labor is enough for the Qing Dynasty, but the technicians are too bad.

Even if Yang Meng cooperates with Germany's Siemens and Sweden's Nobel, it is not a matter of one or two years to train enough railway construction personnel.

"Twenty million people are too many, two million is enough, third brother, how about two million?"

Mongolia is also regarded as a melancholy of the emperors of the Qing Dynasty, and it is reversed at every turn, it is said that Outer Mongolia, today's four-color stick is ambitious, and naturally wants to do the great cause that the emperors of the past dynasties can not complete, and the martial arts are comparable to Qin Shi Huang.

"It's done! Try it! But in this way, the men and horses outside the city will have to be integrated, and those who have built the railway will have to form a separate army, how about forming a railway army? ”

"Cheng is successful, but what about the defense of this Jingshi?"

For the defense of the Jingshi, the four-color stick is extremely attentive, Gui Liang, Mu Yin, Su Shun, these bastards are pierced in the heart!

"The people in Jiangnan and southwest have it, and then recruit the militia group, and it is not difficult for the ministers to form an army in three or five months!"

That's right! It's just that if we transfer people from all over the country like this, won't it affect the output of food? ”

Rare! I can hear human words from the mouth of the four-color stick, but Yang Meng has already had a solution to this matter, that is, to replace manpower with large livestock, which is good in Yunnan, especially in Yunnan, most of the labor is in the factory and mine sites, many fields are cultivated by old and weak women, although the output of grain, how much affected by the lack of labor, but the impact is not very great.

After the canal, the common people can't see the impact, only Yang Meng, the high-level of the Yang family, can see that after the canal is built, the increase in grain production is not very obvious, which is caused by the poor management of the fields.

The fields, which were originally taken care of by a few strong laborers, were replaced by a group of old and weak women, and the management was certainly not as fine as when there were a few strong laborers, and even so, the grain production in Yunnan today is much higher than in the early years, and as a result, the canals and large livestock played a decisive role.

"Nope! There are too many people in the Qing Dynasty! Forty thousand! Two million is an egg? ”

"Oh...... I'm too worried! ”

Yang Meng thought very carefully in his heart, but the answer to the four-color stick was bullshit, after getting along for a long time, Yang Meng knew what the four-color stick believed.

"Integrate a 100,000-strong railway army, let them take 2 million laborers from Zhilu and the northwest to build a railway from Beijing to Outer Mongolia, and with these 100,000 railway soldiers, there will be no labor rebellion.

If there is a shortage of people in the war on our side, we can still mobilize manpower from the railway soldiers, killing two birds with one stone! ”

"Hmmm! The third brother is still thoughtful, and he wants to go into the rebellion, so the third brother will look at it! Tomorrow, I will inform Master Peng.

Third brother, stay in the palace tonight? ”

Political affairs, after having fun, it's okay to talk about it, today's four-color sticks don't have the patience to listen to the reports of the ministers at all, Peng Yunzhang's spirit has become more and more poor recently, many things. It was all Yang Meng who came to communicate with the emperor.

"Done! Concubine Yi tonight? ”

"Good!"

The family is full of pregnant women, and now Yang Meng is going to live in the imperial city for a period of time every other day, and the expanded military aircraft is pressed by a bunch of government affairs, and he can't raise his head.

Early the next morning, he gave Peng Yunzhang the strip of the four-color stick, and Yang Meng left the military aircraft with Peng Yunzhang, and the current old Peng really can't do it. You can only handle more than one hour of official business in a day. Most of the rest of the time is raised at home, and many things about the military aircraft are now arranged by Yang Meng for them, after pressing down on the task. Peng Yunzhang and Yang Meng will be able to rest for a few more days.

"Ministry. This is a big way to build railways. It costs a lot, but I'm afraid that this silver is not enough! ”

The anti-corruption and stolen silver in various places has arrived in Beijing. But thinking of the future war, thinking about the more than 17 million pension silver in Bali Bridge, Peng Yunzhang's heart was also worried about the finances of the imperial court.

"I have people on my side to get together, and within a year or two, there will still be no money and food, and the people will be given a year or two to rest, but some taxes will be added.

Not to mention the dynasties, let's just say that the emperors of the Qing Dynasty, many things are used to win in chaos, the railway, the resistance in the peaceful season is great, only by taking advantage of the war to repair, the imperial court can effectively control Inner and Inner Mongolia.

This is also a source of chaos! Now that the situation in Jiangnan has changed, the long-haired thief is afraid that there will be internal strife, and when the long-haired thief is destroyed, the British and French are retreated, and then go back to clean up Inner and Outer Mongolia, I am afraid that at that time, we will not have the strength.

Taking advantage of the abundant financial resources of the imperial court now, everything should be done as one thing, and after the war, we will have no worries. ”

After listening to Yang Meng's reply, Peng Yunzhang groaned slightly and opened his mouth.

"The volume of the ministry is huge, and it is extraordinary! It's a pity that the old man's body is not ready, and it seems that it is time to disarm. ”

Peng Yunzhang's body is really not done, the repeated turmoil of the Beijing Division, the big and small affairs inside and outside, entangled him every day, and did not let people have a moment of rest, in the past few months, Peng Yunzhang has dealt with government affairs for several years, and during this time, he is really a little unbearable.

"Ye Mingchen!"

"Ye Mingchen? Doesn't he have a grudge against the ministry? ”

"Monk Greenqin still has a grudge against Lao Tzu! Lao Tzu didn't kill him?

Although Ye Mingchen said that he was a little wooden, he was still familiar with foreign affairs after living in Liangguang for a long time, and the imperial court did a lot of foreign affairs, and it was more convenient for him to sit on the military plane! ”

"The ministry is similar to Du Wenzheng, bold in employing people, the old man is not as good as the ministry! After a few days, the old man mentioned this to the emperor. ”

As the first assistant of the military aircraft, among today's governors, there are not many such figures, Luo Bingzhang, He Guiqing and others are enough, but the qualifications are insufficient, the qualifications of this officialdom do not depend on the age, although Ye Mingchen is younger than Luo Bingzhang, but he is much deeper than Luo Bingzhang than the qualifications.

And now Ye Mingchen is a dog under Yang Meng, and with him to control the military aircraft, the power of the Beijing division is completely in the hands of Yang Meng.

"There's no urgency in this matter, Peng Zhongtang will raise it again, and I can't say that there will be an improvement in a few days."

After saying this, it was also the noon gate, and after the two said goodbye, Yang Meng went to Prince Gong's Mansion again, drank tea at Fujin, and then returned to Yang's Mansion and told Xu Ziwei about the preparation of the railway soldiers.

"The third master is going to do something to the Khan prince of Outer Mongolia?"

What is a railroad soldier? Such a nondescript thing, I'm afraid only my third master came up with it, the agreement between the court and Inner Mongolia, Xu Ziwei knew that for the railway, the kings of Inner Mongolia did not refuse, and the construction of the railway soldiers was likely to target the khans and princes of Outer Mongolia.

"Hmmm! It is also true or not, this railway is now a guarantee for the army to transport materials, and there are still bandits in various places to a greater or lesser extent, and it is the duty of the railway soldiers to protect the normal construction of the railway and the railway transportation lines along the way.

The railway on the big brother's side can be built, let's go two ways at the same time, these days, in the area of Zhilu, Henan and Anhui, recruit 100,000 people, and prepare to go north to build the railway!

Inform the Huanghu Iron Works in Lianghu, expand the production of rails, let Xishan and Minghu see how many people in Yunnan have studied civil engineering and railway construction, and the people who build roads in Yunnan will also mobilize a group of elites to enter Beijing!

These days' decrees are a bit mixed, the chief of the plan, you sort it out over there, the recent road construction is mainly based on the Inner and Outer Mongolia railway. ”

At this time, Yang Meng is also a little envious of the four-color stick, this huge situation, from beginning to end, it will take an hour or two, not to mention finding and solving the problem, now just to see the shadow of the intelligence, it will take Yang Meng an hour or two every day, just like the four-color stick, it doesn't matter how good it is to shake his hand?

Xu Ziwei has the same hardships as Yang Meng, although the scene of this Jingshi is big, and the way of the noble lady of the Jingshi is big, but compared with this boundless and endless government affairs, those are a fart? This period of time is almost day and night, and he Xu Ziwei is also a human! It's tiring to deal with a lot of government affairs!

But there are some things that still have to be done, maybe tired of this paragraph, right?

"Third master, more than a million people, isn't it a bit much? In this weather, the dripping water turns into ice! With so many people going to the north, I'm afraid it's hard to do anything! ”

"Let's do it! Before the heavy snow falls, you always have to go out of Zhangjiakou!

The boss is also going to arrange the route, to see whether to take Shandong or Henan, and enter the railway of Chahar through Datong Mansion, which is the errand of the eldest brother.

When the eldest brother is doing things over there, you should also think about it, Sichuan, Hubei and Anhui, I'm afraid that the Sichuan side will not be successful, there are many mountains! Look at Hubei and Anhui, how is it over there, I think this railway still has to be built in Henan, so the road is shorter, if you want to use the railway to connect the Yangtze River, the road is too long.

Build these railways, try to find the plains to start, it is difficult to make a living across the mountains and rivers, and it is really impossible to fall down to the Yellow River! ”

Yang Meng said that these lines, most of them are references, and the specific construction depends on the planning of Xishan and Minghu, but today's conditions are limited, and the plain is undoubtedly the best choice. (To be continued......)
