According to the traditional thinking of Bactria , the border should be strictly guarded, and even if there was a road before, it should be cut off and fortifications should be built.

Chen Mu's idea was really unexpected by Chen Xingtian.

Chen Mu said with a smile: "Our Great Xia's national strength is so strong, we don't dare to attack them if we borrow a gut, we won't destroy them, it will be merciful." ”

Chen Xingtian couldn't cry or laugh, "Yes, yes, yes, what you said makes sense." ”

Once the matter was decided, they began to study where to build the railway. Preliminarily, there must be at least five, leading to the Beiqiu region, the southern Xinjiang region, the Xishan region, the Dongyuan region, and Huaguo.

Although China's national strength is weak, it is very strong in science and technology, and it needs to strengthen cooperation.

The Northeast region and the Dongyue region also need railways, but they are counted as one with the Dongyuan region, and there are only two forks in the end.

Each railway has two tracks, one train back and forth. It can meet the transportation needs in the early stage.

When these repairs are finished, they will go to neighboring countries. Nanban, Persia, Xiongnu, Donghu, it's okay, the Rakshasa country is too far away, and there is already a sea route, you can think about it last.

As for the stick country in the east, Chen Mu had already decided that he would ignore them.

The language of that place is incomprehensible, the people are backward in thinking, believe in cults, and are arrogant and rude. They are not worthy of being a subject of Bactria at all, let alone having a railway.

After a few days, Chen Mu and Long Xueyao developed a train and built a prototype for experiments, which was completely the same as the steam train in Chen Mu's impression.

The two were so happy that they decided to go out on the street together for a barbecue.

Because he came out of the engineering college, Long Xueyao didn't bring guards, and Chen Mu only brought ten guards. However, the barbecue restaurant is not far away, and it is a short walk away from the engineering college.

The secret guard network and the Maiwei network in the national capital can't get in with the spies, and Chen Mu is also very relaxed.

The two went into the shop, ordered some of their favorite foods, and sat down to chat about the future of the train.

After a while, someone outside the door shouted, "His Royal Highness the Prince! Great joy! ”

The man was about to rush into the house as he spoke, but the guards hurried to stop him.

"Stop!"

"What for?"

The man said: "I am from Wanghai County, and the Southern Barbarian Kingdom has found a rubber forest, and I am here to report the good news!" ”

When Chen Mu heard this, he stood up and said excitedly: "What? Rubber groves? Tell me what's going on? ”

As soon as the guards saw that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was questioning, they let this person in.

The man came in and fell to his knees.

"Back to His Royal Highness the Prince, the villain Lin You is the messenger of Wanghai County in the southern Xinjiang region, the Southern Barbarian Kingdom has found a rubber forest, and the county ordered the villain to drive to deliver the letter!"

As he spoke, Lin You took out a letter from his arms and presented it.

"This is the county order operation of Wanghai County, please ask His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to open it in person."

At this time, Long Xueyao said: "Since it's an urgent report, why don't you use the phone?" ”

Lin You: "I'll go back to you, the phone in the southern Xinjiang region was broken two days ago. ”

Chen Mu nodded, "Yes, the phone in Southern Xinjiang is indeed broken, and the new machine has been replaced." ”

Long Xueyao was relieved and watched Chen Mu pick up the letter.

Chen Mu picked up the letter, immediately opened it and looked at it, and when he looked at the content, it was indeed the news of the rubber forest, and it was still a large piece.

At this time, Chen Mu suddenly felt an alarm in his heart and felt that there was some danger.

I heard Long Xueyao next to him shout: "Be careful!" ”

Chen Mu hurriedly jumped back, just in time to see Lin You stabbing at him with a dagger.

It's just that this dagger stabbed not Chen Mu, but a wooden plate stretched out by Long Xueyao.

Chen Mu exclaimed in surprise, and hurriedly stretched out a kick and kicked the dagger in Lin You's hand away.

The guards next to him were startled and hurriedly stepped forward to press Lin You to the ground.

Chen Mu took the wooden plate in Long Xueyao's hand, "Are you okay?" ”

Long Xueyao shook her head quickly, "What about you?" Did it hurt you? ”

Chen Mu: "I'm fine. ”

After speaking, he turned his head to look at Lin You, "Who are you?" Why did you stab me? ”

Lin You looked at Chen Mu hatefully, "Why did you assassinate?" You have provoked wars everywhere and killed countless innocent people, why did you not die on the battlefield? ”

Chen Mu frowned, "I provoked a war? ”

"Don't you know? Was it the Xiongnu who invaded Bactria first, it was the Southern Barbarians who plundered our country's villages and towns many times, it was the Persian king who instigated the rebellion in the Xishan region, and it was the Eastern Hu who killed my compatriots? ”

"When did I start a war?"

Lin You laughed, "Why don't you talk about the Rakshasa Kingdom?" The Rakshasa Kingdom is far north of the grassland, when did it invade Great Xia? ”

Chen Mu finished for a while.

"Rakshasa ...... I want to establish diplomatic relations with the Rakshasa and make them vassal countries, if they agree, how can there be war? ”

Lin You sneered, "Why do people want to become your vassals?" ”

Chen Mu's tone also faded, "I told you that you don't understand." You just need to know that now you are assassinating the prince of Great Xia, which is treason, and you should be punished by the nine clans. ”

Lin You suddenly laughed wildly.

"Hahahaha...... Nine Clans? I only have one father, and he has long since died in the ice fields of the Rakshasa Kingdom! ”

Chen Mu couldn't help but be moved.

"You're actually a descendant of the Invincible Flying Army?"

Lin You took a sip, "What invincible flying army?" If he was really invincible, how could my father die? After my father died, my mother worked day and night for me, and died of exhaustion in less than a year! ”

"I'm the only one in our family, kill if you want to!"

Chen Mu was silent, this was indeed his negligence.

Because the soldiers have always been loyal to Chen Mu, no matter which expedition they went on, they never complained, so Chen Mu did not notice this.

According to Chen Mu's army system in his previous life, the fallen soldiers should be compensated, but Great Xia did not have such a system.

Chen Mu let out a long breath and said slowly: "It was my negligence. ”

"Before you die, I can promise you that from tomorrow onwards, a system of bereavement for the fallen will be established. If a soldier dies in battle, according to different military merits, different financial subsidies will be given. ”

Although people cannot be resurrected after death, if there is such a system earlier, Lin You and his mother can be properly settled, and Lin You's mother will not die of exhaustion.

Lin You, who was pressed to the ground, didn't appreciate it, and still scolded hoarsely: "You don't pretend to be here!" You Chen Mu ......"

Hearing Lin You's scolding, Chen Mu ordered someone to escort him down and send him to the yamen to be beheaded according to law.

After sitting down, Chen Mu poured a glass of wine and thought about what had just happened.

Long Xueyao also raised a glass of wine, "Chen Mu, you have done well enough, don't be too yourself." ”

Chen Mu nodded, raised his glass and clinked glasses with Long Xueyao.

"As a leader, you have a lot of responsibility."

The two raised their glasses and drank them all, and Long Xueyao looked at Chen Mu again.

Chen Mu has always been very mysterious in her eyes, he has all kinds of wonderful ideas, and can make many powerful inventions to help the people of Daxia improve their quality of life.
