"Three days later, Xianyang and Yanmen County, the whole city began to sell tickets, and five days later, the train officially opened!"

Xiao Zhengtai opened his mouth to announce.

"Yes!"

Huang Yuan responded excitedly.

When this news is published in the newspapers, I believe that the people of the whole city will be even more excited than him!

"By the way, Xiao Gongzi, the steel smelted by the steelmaking mill every day is in short supply, so it is better to ...... Stop the construction of steamships first and concentrate all the steel on the construction of trains? ”

Huang Yuan asked tentatively.

Although steamships can travel thousands of miles a day, they are limited to the coast and cannot run on land like trains.

Even if it is to transport goods, it can only be convenient for some coastal counties, and the application is not widespread!

It was said that it could be used for military purposes, and the imperial court also established a navy, but it was never bought with money.

Not to mention the common people, few people can afford to buy it, not to mention, and they still invest a lot and pay back slowly.

It's better to stop first and put all the resources on the train, at least you can make more money and return to your capital early!

"Absolutely not......!"

However, it was sternly rejected by Xiao Zhengtai, "How many steamships have been built now?" ”

"How come there are forty or fifty ships!"

Huang Yuan estimated and said.

After the successful launch of the steamer, the shipyard's craftsmen were divided into three shifts and worked day and night!

But I didn't expect that after the production, it was unsalable, and it was always placed in the yard of the shipyard!

If you continue to produce again, the yard will not be able to put it down!

"Don't worry, my son has his own way!"

Xiao Zhengtai's eyes rolled and he came up with an idea.

The reason why the imperial court did not do anything was because there were no wars overseas and no benefits were seen.

As long as you see the benefits, not only will the imperial court take the initiative to buy it, but even the people will have to squeeze their heads to buy steamships!

"Yes!"

Huang Yuan nodded in response.

……

Three days later, Ying Zheng summoned King Donghu and Queen Loulan again in the Qilin Palace.

This time, after seeing Ying Zheng, the two teams behaved more respectfully, and they didn't even dare to raise their heads!

The pride of the kings of the two countries is completely gone!

In addition, the hearts of King Donghu and Queen Loulan have always been uneasy.

I don't know what Yingzheng has been thinking about these days, can he agree to their request?

In the past three days, in addition to eating and sleeping, they have almost never stopped, and have been visiting all kinds of new things in Xianyang City, which really overwhelms them!

The current Great Qin not only has advanced weapons, but even the quality of life of the people has also risen a lot!

The people have surplus grain at home, and they buy a lot of refined salt at will.

I no longer have to sit on the floor, and my sleep has changed from a low collapse to a large double bed.

If you want, you can make it into three or more people!

The most important thing is to reduce most of the taxes, and now the people only need to pay a little bit of tax symbolically!

The faces of the people are full of smiles, and their lives are very satisfying!

And industrially, not to mention, the arsenal on the first day shocked them!

Then there are steel mills, shipyards and other industrial giants!

While making the country strong, it also gives the people a lot of employment opportunities!

After visiting these, they were even more convinced that they were doing the right thing.

If they hadn't surrendered earlier, once Daqin made a move, they wouldn't even have room to fight back!

"I'm busy with government affairs, I've been slacking off a little bit these days, I don't know if the two of you are still satisfied with my Xianyang City?"

After seeing the reactions of the two teams, Ying Zheng nodded with great satisfaction and asked in a deep voice.

"The land of Great Qin is rich in resources, Your Majesty has a lot of opportunities, it's really hard! Under the leadership of the captain, I have traveled all over Xianyang, and I deeply feel the gap between my Donghu and Daqin, Donghu is willing to be a vassal state of Daqin, and I hope Your Majesty will allow it! ”

King Donghu's words were true and touching.

If Yingzheng can nod, not only will they be spared the suffering of the war and chaos of the people of Donghu, but maybe they will also be able to let the people get a little light of Daqin and live a prosperous life!

At that time, the Xiongnu had no food to eat in winter, so they could only go to neighboring countries to rob houses like robbers.

But after being annexed by Daqin, trade was opened with each other, and a lot of high-yield grain seeds flowed to the land of the Xiongnu, and even those stinky wool could be transported to Daqin for money.

The lives of the Xiongnu people have improved a lot!

Some time ago, I heard that a tribe of the Xiongnu suffered from a drought, and reported it to the local government with a tentative mentality.

Unexpectedly, the government immediately sent a message to Xianyang, and it didn't take long for the relief food to be distributed, so that they could live in peace!

It was this that made him make up his mind to come to Xianyang to try it!

"The scenery of Daqin is beautiful, flowers are everywhere, silk and cotton cloth make my Loulan ashamed, wool textile is unheard of, it really makes my Loulan impressed, if His Majesty Daqin can allow my Loulan to become a vassal country, set every year to come to the dynasty, and pay tribute every year!"

Queen Loulan also gave a salute and said some words of admiration.

Ying Zheng nodded with satisfaction, it was obvious that their horses were very useful!

"Good! It's good that Ling Yan didn't slack off! ”

"I have already consulted with my ministers about the affairs of the vassal states......

Speaking of this, Ying Zheng deliberately paused and hung the appetite of the two teams.

Sure enough, hearing Ying Zheng say the key point, the two teams of people suddenly raised their heads, stared at the people on the throne above with eager eyes, and kept praying in their hearts, hoping to hear good news next!

King Donghu and Queen Loulan didn't dare to breathe, for fear of missing something!

"Agree that Donghu and Loulan will become my Great Qin vassals!"

Ying Zheng observed the facial expressions of the two countries with interest, and finally nodded with satisfaction.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty......!"

The two teams of aliens thanked each other in unison, cheering as hundreds of people.

I waited in Xianyang for three days, and I was worried for three days, but fortunately, the three days were not in vain, and I finally waited for the good news!

Everyone suddenly showed a smile, and Queen Loulan even hugged the maid beside her to vent the joy in her heart!

"But don't be too happy, I'm also conditional!"

Just when they were cheering, Yingzheng came with another basin of cold water.

"Your Majesty, please speak!"

Everyone hurriedly restrained their emotions and bowed their hands respectfully.

"In the future, the two countries will become the counties of my Great Qin, the king will also be demoted to the county guard, and the officers and soldiers will be reduced to civilians, and they will be replaced by the soldiers sent by my Great Qin, as for the way of governance, I don't even ask!"

Ying Zheng said his conditions in a deep voice.

It's also the safest thing to do!

Although with the strength of Great Qin, he is not afraid that they will rebel in the future and break away from Great Qin's control.

But it's too troublesome, and you have to clean them up when you turn around, so it's better to directly let the officers and soldiers of Great Qin take over and monitor their every move.

As long as they don't have different intentions, they can toss as much as they want!

"Forehead ......"

Everyone in the hall was stunned for a moment, and after looking at each other, they responded, "Everything is subject to Your Majesty's arrangement!" ”

As long as there is no war and the people continue to live in peace, their goal will be achieved!

In fact, this result is already much better than they expected!
