296 rolling iron wheels

A touch of golden sun came in from the window, Li Mo stretched his waist, looked at Luo Sanniang, who was wrapped in the quilt around him, the corners of his mouth were shy, and a jade arm was still lying across his chest, and he smiled proudly. 【 I want: super fast update 】

Outside the carved window, the autumn wind gradually rose, and the heat that ravaged the Liaodong Peninsula for more than two months seemed to disappear overnight, and it would even snow in Heilongjiang for a while.

Autumn is a harvest season, the construction of the three provinces has been in full swing, although the Luzon slave hunting has been temporarily stopped, but from Sumatra, Borneo and other places are still sending a steady stream of natives.

The original Nanyang Special Task Force has been reorganized into the Fourth Marine Regiment and temporarily lived in Guam, but this did not reduce the enthusiasm of the pirates in the Nanyang area, under the temptation of money, even many of the original boatmen and fish bosses have set their sights on capturing the natives, plus tens of thousands of laborers sent by Hokkaido and Japan to pay off their debts, and now the number of the four construction corps has reached 400,000, so that Li Enfu also had to agree to Chen Ping, and once again formed two reserve ** regiments, and also upgraded the cavalry regiment to a cavalry division to increase mobility, Specialized supervision and patrol in the three provinces to strengthen the management of labor.

The addition of two ** regiments, a Marine Corps and a cavalry regiment, suddenly caused the number of the army to increase by 20,000 again, and the burden on the Government Council increased a little, but this time Li Enfu did not complain, but approved the budget at a speed, because compared with the income brought by 400,000 coolies, this investment is nothing at all.

Today, the division of labor in the development of the three provinces has been clear, and the huge construction corps mainly focuses on roads and infrastructure, while the construction of factories is handed over to the influx of local and other laborers. As for mining, the Korean Civil War has broken out, and hundreds of thousands of North Koreans are fleeing across the Yalu River to escape the war, enough to consume the mining industry, which is not yet huge and very dangerous.

As early as after occupying the three northeastern provinces, Li Mo proposed that the three provinces should undergo a major change within five years, from the current development model dominated by agriculture to a model that attaches equal importance to industry and agriculture.

The plans are huge, the dreams are distant, but the reality is not optimistic.

Honolulu and Ryukyu have taken the lead in implementing this kind of paper money that is affectionately known as blue coins (later known as blue coins), and Zhong Wenjing of Luzon is also actively cooperating with the Ministry of Finance to carry out early publicity, and 100 million blue coins have been transported there under strict protection, and they can be put on the market after a year.

As for the northeast side is still a little troublesome, because the Qing Dynasty is the silver standard, it is very difficult for people to accept the blue coin, so it is still implemented in a small area, from the current point of view, there are still many people who do not believe it, and they are still using silver, so Li Enfu and others discussed, ready to enforce it by means of laws and regulations after the founding of the People's Republic of China.

Li Mo also agreed to him to adopt this method, the pain in a short period of time between currency conversions is inevitable, and finance is a fundamental matter, so it must be resolute and decisive, but the problem is that Master Li has postponed the date, so he has to wait for a while.

In addition, compared with the happiness on paper, the weather and transportation have become the key to hindering the large-scale development, and the three northeastern provinces are a treasure land, with a vast area and rich resources, but the weather has become a big problem that hinders the big problem.

Especially the weather, Jilin and Heilongjiang are shrouded in heavy snow for half a year, the traffic is extremely inconvenient, the machinery and some local materials that can not be produced by themselves have become a big problem, although Liaodong is slightly better, but there are also a few months of difficult to travel, even if it is railway construction, the hard land under the heavy snow in winter is enough for all the people of the Ministry of Construction to have a numb scalp.

Last winter alone, more than 30,000 coolies fell under the harsh winter, and although the number of the construction corps has increased to 400,000 at once, it can only temporarily secure some key projects.

Therefore, it is correct for the Government Council to concentrate on Liaodong, but because the Qing government has almost no investment here, there are too many projects that need to be started, especially the key railways, communications, seaports and highways, the lack of large machinery, transportation difficulties and other restrictions, so the construction in this year is piled up by manpower.

At present, he can only temporarily rely on the way of inland river boat connection and transportation, and try to transport more materials before the river freezes, which also makes the river channel congested.

Nearly half of the five-year plan has passed, and the construction is still like a fog and a flower, and the only thing that is gratifying is that several important factories have already started construction after giving priority to construction and transfer, especially with regard to the military industry; according to Li Enfu's estimate, in one more year, the military equipment manufacturing industry centered on Fengtian, Yingkou, Dalian, and Huludao will be able to fully meet the needs of the army.

The delicate body beside him moved slightly, and the slightly open brocade quilt revealed a piece of red skin, and the pink flowers that bloomed at two points were shy and half-exposed, which attracted the attention of Young Master Li at once, making him unable to continue thinking.

Li Mo didn't expect that the pirate bandit who had been married once next to him was still perfect, so that the barrier when he entered last night almost made him unbelievable, but the more this happened, the more he felt an inexplicable sense of bullying.

Could it be that the young master is a bad guy by nature?

Li Mo didn't know why he brought her back, maybe it was the kind of man's innate desire for exclusivity, after all, no one wanted to be tactfully coquettish by a woman he had kissed under others.

Li Mo gently lifted the bedding a little, so that the two tall Xiufeng were completely exposed to his eyes, and the two lumps of white raw meat overflowing around, the blooming roses almost made him unable to hold on to the battlefield, if it was huge, I am afraid that even Duan Yue'er could not compare, so the big hand couldn't help but open it and pull it together, pinching and playing.

seemed to feel that Young Master Li was a bad big hand, Sanniang in his arms snorted lightly, but her body squeezed into Li Mo's arms, and after her long eyelashes flickered twice, she was about to pull the futon with her hands.

Knowing that Sanniang had woken up, Young Master Li also had no scruples, and buried his head between the jade peaks, and the sound of wheezing, **, sounded like a symphony in the room.

Among the four girls, she is the third mother, a few years older than Li Mo, and she has always been worried that Li Mo is greedy for her to take her with her, so even if she broke the melon for the first time last night, she could only endure the sour body, hook his neck and let him reclaim it to his heart's content.

I don't know how long it took, the satisfied Young Master Li got out of bed naked, and Sanniang hurriedly prepared to get out of bed to serve after seeing this, but as soon as she moved her body, she wrung her eyebrows suddenly.

"Don't move, you can rest well."

"The concubine is fine." Li Mo's love made Luo Sanniang's heart sweet, and she struggled to get up.

"By the way, don't be a concubine in the future, I'm not used to it." Sanniang, who got up on the opposite side, Li Mo could only let her serve and get dressed, while enjoying the ** life of putting on clothes without even moving his fingers, he smiled and wanted Sanniang to change his words.

As soon as Sanniang wanted to speak, she was shamelessly blocked by Young Master Li's red lips with her mouth, and there was a tingling feeling again through her belly pocket.

"In the future, like them, call me Brother Li, or call me husband or something, as for you, it's okay to call yourself Sanniang, and you're not an outsider." Young Master Li laughed and gently pinched the flower bud.

Luo Sanniang seemed to be unable to stand on her whole body, and fell into Li Mo's arms, just about to nod, she suddenly remembered that Li Mo was younger than herself, how could she call her eldest brother? thought Li Mo had forgotten, and reminded shyly: "I'm older than you." ”

"Oh? Big? Where's the big one? Young Master Li raised the corners of his eyebrows, and deliberately glared at the belly pocket that was bulging and exposed.

"Oops." Sanniang glanced at it and hurriedly pulled the placket, but she was born with a pair of rich breasts, and pulling it back and forth was cheaper for Young Master Li, and then she had to surrender helplessly.

After a period of scrambling, he finally got dressed, and when Luo Sanniang stood behind him and flattened his shirt, Li Mo smiled and said, "By the way, you will prepare in a while, and Yue'er will accompany me out once." ”

Sanniang's body trembled slightly, looking at Li Mo's back, an excitement flashed in her beautiful eyes, but she was afraid that she had heard it wrong, so she hurriedly said, "Is Sister Yue'er going with you?" ”

"No, it's you and Yue'er going together." Li Mo knew what Luo Sanniang was worried about, turned around and hugged his slender waist that made him love last night, and said with a smile: "You are my woman, what's so great about my Li Mo's wife going out together, don't you want to go?" ”

No, the mother raised her head and looked at Li Mo's eyes gradually fogging, you must know that she is just a low-born pirate, I thought that Li Mo was just greedy for beauty and carrying her, but I didn't expect that at this moment Li Mo actually took the initiative to admit himself and take her out with her, which is equivalent to telling the whole world that she is his woman

is not the kind of woman who is greedy for enjoyment, but Mrs. Li who can be taken with her and face everyone in the world.

"One" Young Master Li added in his heart, smiled and kissed Luo Sanniang's blushing cheek, and gently patted his buttocks, and said with a smile: "Go and rest for a while, I'll take you by train in the afternoon, there are a lot of people this time, don't forget to dress up beautifully"

Pity the past to kill people without blinking, mixed in a group of pirates Luo Da Master was finally trained by Master Li after a night of tossing, and finally turned into a kitten, nodded shyly and got into the quilt, began to think hard about what to wear for a while, how to dress up.

A few days after the open day of the Navy, the Port of Arthur was once again crowded with people, this time not to see the warships, but to be the first to witness the smooth opening of the first railway in the northeast.

The reason why the railway from Lushun to Mukden has finally been tested after nearly two years of construction is that in addition to the fact that the Ministry of Construction has invested great manpower and material resources in this key and the first railway that must be made a model, the two construction corps, plus nearly 10,000 Chinese workers in the United States who have built a huge railway network for the United States, almost all of them have pounced on this railway that embodies everyone's hopes and painstaking efforts.

Especially standing around, looking at the head of the train waiting for the experiment with billowing black smoke, the faces of these Chinese workers who had been deceived or abducted and went to the United States to build a generation of railroads for foreigners were all flushed with red light.

Since Master Li started Honolulu, a large number of these Chinese in the United States have come to settle there, but because Honolulu and Ryukyu were too small before, they could not give full play to the ability they had accumulated to build railways in the United States, until the young master occupied the Northeast, put forward a huge railway plan, and began to recruit experienced railway workers, they all seemed to see hope, and many even said that they could not use money, as long as they could build a railway for their motherland, even if it was to lay a sleeper, or lay a rivet.

These people are all good hands trained in the United States, not to mention, just the experience of dealing with all kinds of complex terrain, even more professional than many engineering people, maybe they can't write, can't speak, but they can definitely do it

This is what ordinary Chinese are capable of.

When they joined the railway construction army of the Ministry of Construction, this valuable wealth made Li Enfu take special care of it, and divided them into groups, and each led a construction corps to work day and night, even in winter.

Nearly two years of sweat and hard work, finally in exchange for the completion of the Lufeng Railway, although the railway at this time is not comparable to the complex railway network in later generations, the construction process is also much simpler, but the real opening to traffic, but the Lushun Fengtian and all along the way are connected, will greatly promote the flow of materials and personnel.

The soldiers of the first division and the regiment who were ordered to come to protect pulled up a human wall on the periphery, and the inner circle was handed over to the personal guard battalion of Nighthawk and Li Mo, no one would think that such strict protection was a bit excessive, after all, Li Mo had an accident in Liaodong not long ago, so even the Ministry of Intelligence sent a large number of secret sentinels to keep an eye on the surroundings.

When the scorching sun was a little bit offset, several black cars finally appeared in everyone's field of vision, and even when Li Mo got out of the car, he was startled by the surrounding scene, he didn't expect so many people to come today.

As soon as Duan Yue'er, who was delicate in red, and Luo Sanniang, who was dressed in blue flags, appeared, they directly stole the limelight of Young Master Li, and a whisper suddenly sounded all around, looking at the two young grandmothers who were more beautiful than Huajiao, everyone was not only envious but also envious, especially some government personnel who knew Luo Sanniang's details, and they didn't expect that this former big boss in the South Seas would be so bright and unthinkable when he dressed up, and began to admire Young Master Li's vision of reading women.

Being watched by so many eyes at once, the two beauties couldn't stand it anymore, and hurriedly walked to Li Mo's side to dodge, and when they saw the tall locomotive, Luo Sanniang, who had never seen a train, had straight eyes, and hurriedly asked, "This is the train, it's so big." ”

After several officials from the Ministry of Construction heard this, they hurriedly began to introduce the young master and the two young grandmothers, Li Mo was nothing, but the two women smiled after hearing some interesting stories about the railway construction.

Li Mo did not go to see the train, this kind of old-fashioned steam locomotive did not arouse any interest in him, not to mention that this was one of the twenty locomotives purchased from the United States, although the self-produced locomotive was already included in the plan, but at least it would have to wait a few more years.

Only when he saw the dual-track system he proposed was adopted, he smiled slightly, although it was more expensive than the monorail used by many countries, but it was also high in efficiency and in line with the practice of later generations.

After crossing the track, Li Mo immediately walked to the team of former railroad workers in the United States next to him, and saw the young master walking towards a crowded place, Du Dazhuang wanted to remind him, but was stopped by Yan Fu.

"It's okay, just be careful."

Although Da Zhuang was worried about the young master's safety, he had followed Li Mo for so long and knew the general situation, so he hurriedly responded and glanced at several subordinates behind him.

Li Mo came with the two young grandmothers in person, which immediately made these Chinese workers who went home in the United States restless, and they crowded forward to see the young master, so frightened that the soldiers hurriedly widened their eyes for fear that something would go wrong.

"Thank you, thank you for your contribution to this country."

Li Mo grabbed the first rough big hand, looked at the face of the face that opened his mouth wide in excitement, and even some Muna, looked around, and shouted with a smile: "Thank you"

"Many of you, who built railroads for the Americans, are now back with experience and technology, and you are all a valuable asset to this country"

"So I'm going to set up a monument here, and I want each of you to go down in history and engrave all your names, if nothing else, but to tell future generations that this is the railway you built, and it is the great contribution made by those wandering travelers to the motherland."

"The tree monument is passed down in history"

At this moment, all the Chinese workers were a little sluggish, and the restless crowd was suddenly silent, for the Chinese, it is probably a high dream in life to be able to build a monument, and they are just ordinary railway workers, doing lowly work, but the young master wants to erect a monument for them to build history, so that they can be praised for a hundred generations

"Young Master"

The Chinese workers in the front row, after hearing this, immediately burst into tears of excitement, and they were about to kneel down as soon as they bent their legs, Li Mo hurriedly helped them up, and Yan Fu and others on the left and right also hurriedly helped up these Chinese workers who had built a generation of railways.

In an instant, the entire crowd seemed to be ignited, and when Li Mo took the initiative to pull up the big hands that still looked timid, countless palms began to stretch out excitedly from the cracks of the people, all hoping to shake the young master, even if they touched the corners of his clothes, they were satisfied

Li Mo smiled, took the trouble to shake hands with them one by one, and said loudly again: "Today I saw that you used your experience, ability, and blood and sweat to write the first brilliant stroke of our Northeast book, and this will be a place where from today onwards, we Chinese, can pat our chests and tell those foreigners that we can build our own railways, and we will also build railways to every place where Chinese live."

"Let's work together to leave a complete railway network to this land and to our grandchildren"

"Let's build a home together"

"Building a Home Together"

"Building a Home Together"

The shouts spread to the surroundings along the sea breeze, and I don't know who took the lead, when Li Mo boarded the train car with Yue'er and Sanniang, whose faces were red and their eyes were rippling with excitement, everyone slapped red in the shaking of a flashing light.

The whistle was loud, the smoke was billowing out, and the long-awaited wheels of the locomotive began to slow down, as if to indicate that a world was opening in front of all the Chinese, and the heavy iron wheels were rolling forward little by little with the arrival of Master Li.

"This should not belong to Europe and the United States in the twentieth century, but should belong to us Chinese" By the car window, Li Mo clenched his fist with his left hand, smiled and waved his right arm to the outside.
