"County Zun, Li Dingguo has left Lantian County, and is currently traveling to Chang'an County." Early in the morning, Li Chaosheng came to the office, and Gu Zi immediately informed Li Chaosheng of the latest situation, and Li Chaosheng nodded when he heard the words and said, "Let him go." After saying this, Gu Zi said: "There is also the county honor, the spy came to report, yesterday Cao Huachun and a group of palace maids have come to Tongguan, and they should enter the city today, you see?" Li Chaosheng thought for a while when he heard this: "I know, let the Tongguan guards not stop it, and I will let the county lord of Changyu pick up this group of palace maids." ”

"Ah, sister-in-law?" Gu Zi was stunned for a moment, and Li Chaosheng said: "This group of palace maids are all from the palace, although they are young, but they will inevitably have the idea of seeing above the top, so there must be someone who can control them, and who can have a noble A weak in terms of identity, and A weak also told me yesterday that she is not willing to stay in the boudoir every day, so I decided to let her serve as the female director of Lantian No. 1 Textile Factory, and it happens that the county is in charge of the palace maids, and it will not make that group of palace maids feel cold." Hearing this, Gu Zi was stunned for a moment, and then said, "Will this make my sister-in-law too tired?" Li Chaosheng heard this and said: "Just do some management work, and I will also select two qualified factory directors and workshop directors to cooperate with her work, after all, being my woman always has to work a little harder." Gu Zi didn't say anything when he heard this, and talked about some of the recent work, mainly mentioning Liaodong, Liaodong's grain harvest this year is poor, which means that the Tartar life is not good, and Dolgon has also withdrawn troops from North Korea, which is obviously preparing to come to the Central Plains to fight the autumn wind.

Li Chaosheng thought of this, frowned slightly, it seems that after this year's autumn harvest, it is inevitable that the Tartars will enter the Kou, at this time Lu Xiangsheng will also go home to worry, Hong Chengchou has just arrived in Liaodong, and his heels have not yet been stable, I am afraid it will be difficult to prevent the Tartars from driving straight in.

Sun Chuanting arrived in Hubei, Zuo Liangyu was outside Tongguan, and Liu Zeqing in Shandong was also useless, in the imperial court, although Yang Sichang was a bastard, he still had some real talent, but Yang Sichang exterminated the peasant army OK, you let him fight hard with the Tartars, it is still worse, except for these few, the entire Daming people who know the soldiers are either just a little brave, or they don't understand the root of their teeth, so this year is destined to be a turbulent year for the Ming Dynasty.

Can you take advantage of this opportunity to send troops? Li Chaosheng thought about it and shook his head, it's inconvenient, the first Zuo Liangyu is guarding outside Tongguan, he rashly sends troops, or fights with the Tartars, what if Zuo Liangyu sneaks up on him from behind?

You have to know that you have a deep hatred with Zuo Liangyu, if you really have that kind of opportunity, Zuo Liangyu will definitely not hesitate to backstab yourself, there is no doubt about this, Li Chaosheng knows, Zuo Liangyu also knows.

Of course, this is not the main reason, the main reason is that Li Chaosheng has no motive to send troops, the Tartars are plundering the Ming Dynasty, not Lantian, he is just Lantian County, and he can't control the affairs of the Ming Dynasty, so as to damage the interests of the Lantian people to rescue the Ming people who do not belong to him, this transaction Li Chaosheng is unwilling to earn.

Unless the Tartars come to attack Lantian, then they can justifiably clean them up, but as long as the Tartars are not stupid and have no brain cramps, they will never be able to lead the army to attack Lantian The stupid act of doing so, and once they do this, Li Chaosheng is afraid that he will wake up laughing, after all, it is Zuo Liangyu's army stationed outside Tongguan, and they will bear the brunt of it at that time.

Tartar doesn't care whether it is the Ming army or the Lantian army that is in front of him, in their eyes, this is the enemy's army, since it is the enemy's army, there is only one result, destroy it on the spot.

When the time comes, they will eat the dog and reap the profits by themselves, and they can make Li Chaosheng wake up with a smile just thinking about it, but according to historical records, the destination of the Tartars this time is Shandong, not Lantian.

Liu Zeqing, the current Shandong commander-in-chief, was ineffective in battle, and was taken away by the Tartars 100,000 people, and finally Lu Xiangsheng led the soldiers and horses to fight, and finally snatched back 70,000 people.

Later, the Tartars attacked Lu Xiangsheng again, Lu Xiangsheng did not retreat, and finally died in Shandong, thinking of this, Li Chaosheng frowned, Lu Xiangsheng is a talent, and he is also salivating, but unfortunately Lu Xiangsheng is very axial, unwilling to take refuge in Lantian, and only wants to reimburse Daming, but is Daming really worth your dedication?

Li Chaosheng sighed, thought for a while, and said: "Give a military order to Li Chaohu in Guihua City, the Tartars will not be able to fight with them head-on, and after they enter the Central Plains, they will attack their logistics to confuse their hearts." Li Chaosheng said here and sighed, that's all he can do for the Ming Dynasty, Li Chaohu's attack on the logistics supply of the Tartars can make the Tartars have some scruples, and they must also take care of the rear when fighting in the Central Plains, so they can't do their best, so that the Central Plains can have less slaughter, and they can be regarded as loyal to the Ming Dynasty.

Li Chaosheng couldn't help sighing when he thought about it, now Daming has reached the point of falling apart, countless people have risen to a different mind, and the reason why Daming can still maintain it is completely taken care of by God, Daming has not had much disaster in the past two years, but in two years, Daming will have another military disaster.

Zhang Xianzhong, who retreated to the valley city of Hubei, will not live in peace, and Li Zicheng, who is hiding in the mountains of Shanxi, will not live in peace.

And in this process, Li Chaosheng decided to be a neutral person, neither to rescue the Ming Dynasty, nor to interfere with the peasant army, let them fight first, and kill all the tumors in the Ming Dynasty's body first, some people will ask, is the Ming Dynasty a toxic tumor?

The answer is yes, there are, and there are quite a few, such as those who are full of copper smell, those officials who are full of selfish money, only for their own selfishness, regardless of the general interests of the country, and only know how to exploit them, and those landlords who are bone-sucking and marrow-sucking, these people are all the objects that Li Chaosheng wants to sweep into the garbage heap.

Lantian can't tolerate them, the people can't tolerate them, history can't tolerate them, they must be killed, if they are not killed, it will be difficult for the world to progress, they are a group of stubborn conservative forces, only by killing them all, then the world can be reborn.

In this regard, you can look at Lantian, Lantian is a good microcosm of the future, when the local tyrants and gentry, greedy officials, and pedantic scholars under the great tomorrow are all swept away, then the world will be as prosperous as Lantian.

This is the detoxification stage, the old feudal forces in the Ming Dynasty are toxins, and Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong are dog skin plasters, and Lantian is the clean skin after the toxins are cleaned.

Li Chaosheng sat in the office and continued to work, today's workload is still very large, the final approval of some projects, as well as some special instructions need to be done by Li Chaosheng, and in a bunch of documents, Li Chaosheng saw a thing that he was interested in, this is a report submitted by the University of Science and Technology, Song Yingxing's scientific research team.

Report on the successful development of the steam railcar and the request for government approval for trial operation.

"Steam railcar?" Li Chaosheng looked at the report handed over, and soon became fascinated, the steam rail car is a locomotive powered by a steam engine and traveling on a fixed track.

I didn't expect Song Yingxing to really make the train, this is a great invention, the report simply explained, saying that the reason why the rail car was not successful in the past was because the steam locomotive had a big problem, that is, the airtightness of the steam engine was difficult to guarantee, until some time ago, the Institute of Science and Technology found rubber from the coastal areas.

That's right, it's rubber, the Institute of Science and Technology buys a batch of rubber liquid at a high price, and finally after many times of cleaning and shaping, it becomes a rubber pad in the steam engine, so as to solve the problem of steam secret closure.

After this problem was solved, the first steam locomotive in Lantian was born, and it has been put into trial operation on the 500-meter runway of the Institute of Science and Technology, and the effect is very good, so they hope to build a longer steam track for traffic.

The report reads that this invention may completely rewrite the living conditions and modes of transportation of the people of the Ming Dynasty, the people of the Ming Dynasty used to carry horses, the efficiency is extremely low, if the train can be popularized, the transportation capacity of the Ming Dynasty will definitely have a qualitative leap.

And Song Yingxing said in the final comment that at present, they have experimented, the train can drive six carriages, and six carriages can definitely pull tens of thousands of catties of goods, and Song Yingxing also drew a cake, saying that as long as the government increases investment in him, he is confident that he will make a more powerful train.

I have to say that this cake is indeed a great temptation for Li Chaosheng, Li Chaosheng has long been very dissatisfied with this world, too slow, everything is too slow, from Lantian to BJ, you will ride a fast horse for ten days and half a month, but shouldn't this distance be a few hours, let alone go to BJ, it is to go abroad, a few hours will also arrive, and you can fly to the other side of the earth in more than ten hours.

Even if you take the high-speed train, it will definitely take six hours, but this world will take ten days and half a month to move fast, and if it is slow, it will take three months or even half a year to leave home three months or even half a year in advance to enter Beijing to take the exam, how can this speed satisfy Li Chaosheng.

Even if you can only build the slowest train now, even if the time is slow, it will definitely be BJ in two or three days, this is the speed that Li Chaosheng wants, and it is also the speed that Li Chaosheng should strive to do in this life, as for how fast it is, Li Chaosheng feels that his own efforts are enough, after all, high-speed rail technology is for people in this era, that is, the earth has discovered a higher alien civilization, there are countless gaps.

It will take a hundred or even hundreds of years to smooth, catch up, and surpass. Li Chaosheng knows that he can't be ambitious, trains are already the direction that the world should work towards, and Li Chaosheng still needs encouragement for this great invention of Song Yingxing's team.

Thinking that Li Chaosheng took a pen and paper to give instructions on the report, after the instructions, Li Chaosheng said to Gu Zi: "Gu Zi, notify the Construction Bureau, immediately carry out the project, agree to Song Yingxing's team's request, build a trial operation railway from Lantian Academy to Lantian City, with a total length of 20 miles, and notify the Ministry of Finance to give support, the finance can not be stuck, and the steel used to build the railway will be handed over to Lantian No. 1 Iron and Steel Plant, so that they must use the best steel, and the rest of the work, such as traveling through the people's farmland, the Political Department will give economic compensation, In short, we must give all the support to this matter. ”

"Yes." When Gu Zi heard Li Chaosheng's words, he immediately responded, followed by the immediate transmission of the order, and then Gu Zi looked at Li Chaosheng curiously and said, "County Zun, the rail steam car invented by Dean Song this time is very useful?" Li Chaosheng smiled when he heard this: "Of course, it is too useful, in Song Yingxing's words, it is a great invention that has the potential to change the way the entire Ming people travel." Gu Zi looked puzzled, Li Chaosheng said: "Let me ask, now Daming, don't Daming, what is the way for the people of Lantian to travel now?" Gu Zi said: "Walk on the shortest road, and take the carriage farther away." ”

"How far can a carriage go in a day?" Li Chaosheng asked, Gu Zi thought about it, and if he didn't sleep, it would be two or three hundred miles a day.

"Two or three hundred miles, let me tell you, if this steam rail car is successfully invented, it will be at least thousands of miles a day."

"My good man, then our little place in Shaanxi is not enough for it to run for a day?" Gu Zi exclaimed, Li Chaosheng smiled, thinking that I haven't told you about the high-speed rail yet, the high-speed rail can reach 350 kilometers in an hour, 700 miles, and thousands of miles can easily be won in an hour and a half.

This train runs thousands of miles a day, and the average hour down is forty miles, twenty kilometers, which is not fast, if it is placed in modern times, even the slowest freight train is faster than this.

However, in this era, this speed is already remarkable, after all, the fastest means of transportation in this era is BMW, what is BMW, traveling thousands of miles in a day and 800 at night, it is BMW.

For example, Li Chaosheng's red dragon horse is such a good horse, but at this speed, you can surpass it by riding a motorcycle, and it can be mass-produced.

So there is a motorcycle in this era, which is definitely the fastest man in Daming, but unfortunately Daming's road is very difficult to walk, and Li Chaosheng's current identity does not allow him to be the fastest man in Daming.

Before Gu Zi could react from this speed, Li Chaosheng asked again: "Then let me ask you again, how many carriages do you need to pull 10,000 catties of goods now?" Hearing this, Gu Zi thought for a while and said, "At least twenty or thirty cars." "It's a lot to load three or four hundred catties in a car, after all, horses are also tired, at this time Li Chaosheng said: "This steam rail car, a section of the carriage can be loaded, and Song Yingxing's report said that the current steam engine power can pull at least six carriages, that is to say, at least one time can pull 60,000 catties of goods, do you say this steam rail car is of great use?" Hearing this, Gu Zi's eyes were about to pop out, and then Li Chaosheng added: "By the way, the speed of pulling so many goods can still be done for a thousand miles a day." ”

"I'm grass." Gu Zi finally couldn't help but burst into foul language when he heard this, what kind of car is this, this is simply an immortal weapon!
