"Congratulations to Your Majesty, my Datang has such a travel weapon, and my Datang is worry-free." This is not a sycophant, this is a real congratulations, Yang Heng can see it from his eyes.

After getting on the train, his eyes kept staring outside, although he couldn't see far, but he could see the decrease in people, and when the train turned a small corner, he finally saw the whole picture of the train. Once the train turns a corner, if you are on the other side of the inner circle, you will be able to see the whole train, and even when there is no reflection of sunlight, you can see the people in front of each glass window.

"Ha Luha, rejoicing and rejoicing, Wei Qing, when did you become so good at talking." Li Er, because he was in a good mood, made a joke with Wei Zheng, naturally, Wei Zheng was also in a good mood at this time, and he didn't even want to pick Li Er's words anymore. "Back to Your Majesty, the minister is telling the truth."

"Your Majesty, the minister wants to ask, can this train be used for military purposes, and how long will it be able to cover the whole country?" "General Li, this, let me answer you." Li Er squinted at Yang Heng with his eyes, Yang Heng naturally knew that this was for him to answer, Li Er couldn't answer these questions.

"Cheng, then you can explain the literature to the old man." Li Jing's eyes showed such a look in my opinion, that, in fact, he also knew that Lu Dao, whether it was a train or a railway, it was all done by Yang Heng, what does it have to do with Li Er, but whether it is here or in Datang, Li Er is the biggest, can Li Er be successful without asking Li Er.

"General Li," "You still call me Uncle Li." "Yes, Uncle Lee. This train. Not only can it be civilian. It can also be used for military purposes, especially long-distance transportation, which is the best, and if we want to attack a pass, we should slowly build the railroad beyond their defensive range before attacking, and then we will rush through it in a bright and bright way. ”

This, Yang Heng's idea is. If you want to attack anyone, you don't need to sneak attack, first place a war letter, and then quickly repair the temporary railway to his nose, and then use the strong capacity of the train to transport the troops in place at one time, if they interfere with the construction of the railway, it is that they are looking for death, and there are fewer troops, so they can be eliminated piecemeal. If there are more troops, wouldn't it be in line with our intentions? It's good to have a decisive battle in the field, and even the train can become a mobile base for heavy weapons, such as a strong crossbow and a trebuchet, which can be fixed on the train.

"Nephew, tell me what this trebuchet is?" Ah, ah, ah, this Datang doesn't even have a trebuchet. "Yes, Xuewen, what is this trebuchet?" "Your Majesty, Uncle Li, didn't trebuchets exist in the Warring States Period, it seems to have been recorded."

"Hey, ha, that, we thought it was bragging, perhaps, the trebuchet's data was burned during the Qin Dynasty." Okay, Yang Heng has made another ancient weapon.

"This trebuchet is a kind of weapon for siege or field warfare, when attacking the city, we can use large stones to break the enemy's city walls and passes, and in the field, we can first throw the gravel out when the enemy is attacking, so that it will kill and injure the enemy on a large scale, reduce the morale of the enemy, and even let the enemy army rout when it does not meet our army."

"Xuewen, compared to trebuchets and steam cannons, who is stronger and who is weaker?" "This, there is no comparison, but, to say that the comparison, the two are about the same, but the power of the trebuchet is greater, the steam cannon is weaker at this stage, but the trebuchet uses too much manpower, and the steam cannon does not use a few people, but, I think, this trebuchet can be combined with the steam engine, so that the trebuchet can save a lot of manpower."

Yes, Yang Heng immediately thought that if the noose of the trebuchet is not pulled manually, it will directly use the steam engine to drive the reducer and drive the noose, then it will save manpower, and even, the counterweight end of the trebuchet can also be used to transport the counterweight to the inside with a conveyor belt, but if you pick it up outside, you need to use people, Yang Heng's plan is that the counterweight end of the trebuchet can be adjusted by adjusting the proportion of the counterweight to adjust the range.

"So, what about the range?" "Range, a large trebuchet, I plan to let it throw between five hundred and seven hundred steps, a small trebuchet, about two hundred steps, and then a small one, then study it slowly, and design it according to your needs, this is a kind of trebuchet that is carried out at the same time as the team, that is, the trebuchet opens the way in front, and the army follows behind." At this time, Yang Heng remembered that the game Age of Empires was coming, this small trebuchet, which was used in conjunction with a strong crossbow, but these were easy to cause accidental injuries to his own people.

"Big nephew, there is another question you didn't say, how long can you use to spread the railway all over the country?" "This, is a problem, first of all, some big rivers to build bridges can not be built, then you need to cross the river, use a ferry to transport the train over, or directly on the side of the river to let people get off, after a boat transport, and then on the other side of the train to continue travel, there is also the most important problem, that is, the national strength of our Tang Dynasty, because the construction of the railway, it is quite expensive, now, the money given by the Emperor is basically exhausted, but in order to achieve the Emperor's wishes, My railway has been repaired for more than 200 miles, and there are more than 800 miles, I need to borrow money to repair it, just waiting to rely on freight or something to earn back, this, Your Majesty, let me tell you, then the railway is a cooperation project between our Yang family and the royal family, how about our half of the shares? And the same goes for train factories, where we also get half of the revenue share, no matter how much train equipment is sold. "At this time, there is no idea of holding a controlling position, so it is still about heart action, that is, Li Er wants to forcibly occupy Yang Heng's shares, and Yang Heng really has no way to turn his face with Li Er, so he can only do this, and because of Yang Heng's technical problems, Li Er's face may be very small, and after a long time, Li Er may be instilled with some ideas about the current economy.

"Cheng, this one is up to you, and I won't send someone in, you will suffer some losses when you study literature, and all management matters will be yours." As soon as Li Er heard Yang Heng's statement, he knew that he had taken a great advantage, and listening to Yang Heng's statement, it was the cooperation between the Yang family and the royal family, that is, the cooperation with his Li family, so it had nothing to do with the imperial court.

"Your Majesty, this tax?" Wei Zheng understood that there was no mention of taxation here, so it couldn't be done, and the court couldn't be at a loss.

"Hehe, this, you ask Xuewen." Li Er smiled awkwardly and directly pushed the matter to Yang Heng. "Duke Wei, this, don't think about the tax of the railway, but in terms of military use, or disaster relief, etc., we will give priority to the imperial court, and it is free, this railway is a loss-making business, if you really want taxes, then I might as well dismantle these railways directly."

"You," Wei Zheng was a little stunned, "Duke Wei, don't look at me like that, this railway is profitable, it is also a small profit, it is not worth taxing, besides, the steel and coal used in this railway have already been taxed, and even, after many years, this railway may be returned to the imperial court for use, but I don't know if the imperial court can use it." ”

Originally, Yang Heng wanted to pay taxes, but he suddenly remembered that in his previous life, the railways of any country were operated at a loss, and it seems that in some countries in the United States and Europe, they were taken back by the state because they could not continue to operate, this is the main artery of a country, and naturally it cannot be allowed to collapse, so it is operated by the state at a loss, and only the Celestial Empire will be operated from the state to an individual or a corporate company, as if it was a joke.

"Okay, okay, Duke Wei, don't be angry, what Xuewen's nephew said is also right, let me see that this railway has no way to make money, this is completely His Majesty and Xuewen doing good deeds, and Xuewen, I hope you will pave the main road of the railway to the main state capital of the Tang Dynasty as soon as possible, if you are really short of money, we old things can also participate in it."

Who is Li Jing, the first military strategist of the Tang Dynasty, although this railway may lose money, it can be recovered from other aspects, such as the transportation of some things in the family, the transportation of personnel, as long as you participate in the shares, it is possible to get the priority to use, so why not participate in the shares, lose here, find it back there.
