Chapter 914: The Achievement of Several Years of Hard Work

Standing outside the wine shop, Di Renjie sighed: "I'll just say it." ”

Li Zhi waved his hand and said: "I heard that a section of the railway in Lishan has been built and can be run, let's go and see it another day." ”

"Okay."

The two of them walked into this wine shop and did not debunk Zhang Cambodia's words, but sat down silently and ate their meals.

Li Zhi said in a low voice: "Renjie, do you have any money on you?" ”

Di Renjie shook his head and said, "Usually the money is given by Xu Shilang. ”

When I came to live in the palace, I felt that I had no money.

The father gave very little money to the Chongde Palace, barely enough to spend it himself.

Di Renjie said to the guy on the side: "Invite the loudest talker." ”

"Hey."

After a while, Zhang Cambodia's footsteps came in a hurry.

Now the sky is still cold, Di Renjie folded his hands and shrunk his neck, "The ...... you just said"

Zhang Cambodia hurriedly said: "It's all about making them happy." ”

Di Renjie saw through this person's thoughts, and said with a smile: "I and the King of Jin will spend more and more money in Chang'an City in the future, and this money is ......."

Zhang Cambodia said again: "It's all wrapped up in the body." ”

Di Renjie and Li Zhi don't have any money in their hands, this Zhang Cambodia's family has money, at least there is no need to worry about the future use.

Li Zhi said lightly: "Chongde Hall also needs a stove. ”

Zhang Cambodia hurriedly said, "I'll come." ”

Di Renjie looked behind Li Zhi, "What about His Royal Highness King Ji?" ”

"Except for the matter of King Qi, Concubine Wei didn't let Li Shen have too much contact with this king."

"Alas......"

Di Renjie glanced back, Zhang Cambodia and this group of people were talking about Qizhou again.

It was not until February that the court meeting began, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince listened to the government as usual.

This is the long-lost early dynasty after going to Gaoling County last year.

Wei Zheng still went to the court as usual, and many people in the court were worried that this Duke Zheng was old, and he didn't know how long he could last.

In the court, Wei Zheng still stood straight and his face was calm.

Everyone knows that the current Zheng Gong is breathing a sigh of relief.

Outside Chang'an City, every time the whistle of the steam engine sounds, it will attract many onlookers.

The construction of Sadakan-in Temple began in earnest.

After the end of the court, Fang Xuanling and the eldest grandson Wuji came to see the start of this time. Lishan only used 2,000 manpower, and there has been no increase since last year.

A distant whistle was heard.

Fang Xuanling looked for the sound and saw a black iron box spitting black smoke towards here, and as this monster got closer and closer, the movement became louder and louder.

When I got closer, I saw that it was very long, and there were many connected iron boxes in the middle sections

When the train stopped at the edge of the temple, a group of workers gathered around and opened the carriages and began to unload the goods.

Prefabricated panels and timber, as well as various building materials, were brought in.

The eldest grandson Wuji bowed his head and said: "I heard that this train can transport a lot of goods, will it also be able to transport soldiers and horses in the future?" ”

"If this is the case, the importance of Lishan to the community in the future will be incomparable to anyone."

The eldest grandson Wuji picked up a dead branch and drew a line on the ground, "From Lishan to Weinan County, it only takes a moment, and the back and forth is only half an hour, it can transport thousands of stone goods, as long as this train is long enough, it can transport more." ”

Fang Xuanling's expression became more and more solemn, "Is that really the case?" ”

"This thing doesn't need human power, it can operate without sleep, you just need to feed it coal."

Fang Xuanling sighed: "No wonder Lishan hoarded so much coal and stone at the beginning, now thinking about the original transaction, Lishan really never made a loss-making transaction." ”

As he spoke, his eyes looked at Zhao Guogong.

The eldest grandson Wuji couldn't help nodding, remembering that the coal and stone in Liaodong were still sold to Lishan by himself, and he regretted raising tigers, and even more thought that he would have less at the beginning.

The train had two heads, the front and back, and the driver with the front of the train walked quickly until the stove was turned off and then ran quickly to the rear of the car.

The rear of the car is also the front of the car, and it can be transported back and forth four or five times, and all the building materials and goods can be transported.

Fang Xuanling walked aside and said: "In this way, it seems that there is not much people's power used in Lishan, and they use this method to save most of the people's power. ”

The eldest grandson Wuji empathized, "Zhang Yang often said that Lishan's knowledge has the ability to reach the heavens and latitudes, and now he is confirming it step by step." ”

"Gong Zheng is old, the old man is also old, and you have opened your eyes to the auxiliary machine."

There's a small car slowly heading here.

Sitting in the car were Li Tai, the king of Wei, and Li Xiaogong, the king of Hejian County.

Fang Xuanling and the eldest grandson Wuji stopped and watched the car slowly stop in front of them.

Li Tai scolded and said, "Why is it so slow? ”

The car was still shaking, not small, and most of the voices were drowned out, and the steam locomotive looked like a small train in comparison.

In the car, only Li Tai and Li Xiaogong can be seated.

Li Xiaogong also got out of the car, and said: "I have advised you, if the energy consumption cannot be controlled, there is no need to build such a car." ”

"Nope! When this little car is built, I will drive around Chang'an City every day in the future and let them all see it. ”

As he spoke, the guards in the rear also ran all the way.

Li Tai lost interest in this little car, and ordered: "You drive back, and this king can take the train back." ”

The guards finally breathed a sigh of relief.

The King of Wei and the King of Hejian County drove the car in front, and several guards chased them all the way behind, and only now stopped.

Li Xiaogong said again: "Zhang Yang is right, this thing is not even as good as a tractor." ”

"What is a tractor?"

"How does the old man know, that kid is becoming less and less human, and he can't understand his words at all."

The uncle and nephew argued for a long time before they noticed the two people on the side.

Li Tai saluted and said: "I've seen Fang Xiang, I've seen my uncle." ”

The eldest grandson Wuji explained: "I learned that Lishan is going to use the train today, so I came to take a look. ”

Li Xiaogong smiled heartily, "Hahaha! I've ridden horses and carriages, but I've never ridden this train. ”

Fang Xuanling asked, "Why is this thing called a train?" ”

Li Taidao: "This is the name given by my brother-in-law, this king thought it should be called a steam locomotive, but this is from Lishan, just call it a train according to my brother-in-law's words, I don't know what happened to my brother-in-law, his attitude is very resolute, just call the train, even if the father and the emperor decree it, it will definitely not be changed." ”

Fang Xuanling shook his head and smiled, amused at the temper between Zhang Yang and His Majesty.

His Majesty and the Marquis of Lishan County, this pair of Weng sons-in-law have never been convinced by anyone.

After the goods here were unloaded, Li Tai asked his uncle to get on the train with Fang Xiang.

Fang Xuanling's steps were cautious, standing straight, a little restrained.

The eldest grandson Wuji was also very stiff, standing inside this kind of monster for the first time.

Li Tai explained: "This is to transport goods, so only a section of the carriage is left to sit people, if you want to sit in the future, as long as the carriage is changed, my brother-in-law originally reserved space for transformation in the design, but also left enough room for future improvements." ”

Seeing that the two of them were very restrained, Li Xiaogong said: "Don't worry, we have done many tests, even if the furnace blows up, it won't hurt me." ”

"Blown up? Hurt? The eldest grandson Wuji muttered to himself.

A loud whistle drowned out the words, and the train began to move, and there was a lot of noise in the carriages.

So much so that he had to shout loudly when he spoke, and then Fang Xuanling and the eldest grandson Wuji stopped talking.

The windows were rudimentary, with nothing to obstruct them, just a boxy hole, and as the train moved, the cold wind kept pouring in.

The eldest grandson Wuji looked out of the car window, the scenery was constantly receding, and the speed of the car was getting faster and faster.

It's slower than a normal horse, but it's pretty fast.

After sitting upright for a while, the speed of the train slowed down, and gradually the speed became slower and slower, and when I came back to my senses, I had arrived at Lishan.

Li Tai and Li Xiaogong got up and got out of the car.

Fang Xuanling stood up after a while, holding on to the pole on the side, a little difficult, "Auxiliary, help me." ”

The eldest grandson Wuji also supported his trembling legs and pulled his hand, "The old man can't stand steadily." ”

In the end, it was Li Tai who asked the guards to help the two down.

When I got off the train, I realized that Lishan was also being built here, and Li Tai explained: "Lishan is going to build a station here. ”

The feeling of weakness in his legs gradually subsided, and the eldest grandson Wuji was able to stand firmly, and looked back at the train again, this monster didn't seem to eat people.

Many Lishan villagers are already loading goods into the train, and huge prefabricated slabs are being sent to the train.

It took nearly three years of demonstration and trial and error to build the train.

The construction of the railway route lasted from last year until autumn.

Then from Liu Lan to Chang'an City to prepare for the autumn of attacking Lishan, so far the cold winter has passed, and in February of the fifteenth year of Zhenguan, Lishan finally built a real sense of the railway and train.

It is said that Lishan already has a foundation, but it has been used for several years.

"This is the auspiciousness that Lishan brought to the Tang Dynasty, and it will take several years for Lishan to complete, but everything is enough to benefit the community!"

Li Tai said proudly.

In the past two years, Li Tai and Yan Liben, as well as many craftsmen in Lishan, have been busy and feel fulfilled, and when the train is officially completed, there is a sense of accomplishment, and the hard work of several years has finally paid off.

This great sense of accomplishment was first felt when the steam engine was first introduced.

There are now six steam engines in Lishan, and they are the only six, and the workshop will continue to cast.

Li Tai said: "Due to the limited load of the train, we have to make several trips back and forth. ”

The eldest grandson Wuji waved his hand and said, "Just send the old man back." ”

Fang Xuanling hurriedly said, "The old man also went back." ”

Li Tai didn't say anything more, and when the goods were loaded, the train moved again.

When they came to Zhenguan Courtyard again, Fang Xuanling and the eldest grandson Wuji staggered off the train, and vomited on the spot without taking three or two steps.

I don't know if it's because the smell inside the train is bad or because of something else.

Li Tai patted the two elders on the back to make them feel more comfortable, "It turns out that there is such a thing as motion sickness." ”

The eldest grandson Wuji was still coughing and vomiting embarrassedly.

Fang Xuanling said suspiciously: "Motion sickness? ”

Li Tai comforted: "Fang Xiang and Uncle have always been pampered, and lack of exercise, of course, there are people born with motion sickness, if you can exercise more, it is not impossible to overcome, to get used to the railway may have to suffer a little." ”

Seeing that the two elders looked puzzled, Li Tai smiled and said: "Because we will continue to build trains and railways in the future, it will be a very long road, and in the future five-year plan, it will not only connect Chang'an City, but also run through the twelve counties of Chang'an City." ”

For the first time, Fang Xuanling felt that he was getting old, and for the first time, he felt that he couldn't keep up with the ideas of others.

Every time Lishan fell silent, it was several years, but every time it came out with results, the steps taken made it impossible for the DPRK and China to keep up.

From the perspective of the overall situation, many times Lishan is immovable, but every step Lishan takes is so shocking.

Li Xiaogong took out a bag of pumpkin seeds from the cloth bag on his waist and put them in the hands of Fang Xuanling and the eldest grandson Wuji, "This is our pumpkin seeds from Lishan, we have collected all the pumpkin seeds planted in each county, and now we have the only one to eat." ”

The eldest grandson Wuji followed his example and knocked on the pumpkin seeds, "It's a little bitter, and I don't know what to eat." ”

Li Xiaogong kept eating in his mouth, "Eat a few more." ”

"Really?" The eldest grandson Wuji cracked the shell of the pumpkin seed again, nodded while eating, and said, "Well, it's really good, but it's not polite to eat like this in front of people." ”

Zhao Guogong said this, and he knocked with relish.

Pumpkin seeds do have some bitterness, but it is precisely this bitterness that is just right, and it is not appropriate to put pepper, sugar, or salt to stir-fry.

Seeing that there were more and more onlookers, Fang Xuanling and the eldest grandson Wuji left in a hurry.

What Li Tai and these two people are talking about is the five-year plan of Lishan, in fact, these plans are preliminary, and the real intention is to let Guanzhong connect to Hanguguan and reach all parts of the Central Plains, which is the real intention of the railway and the train.

Now I finally understand why my brother-in-law bought the river beach in Tongguan, the water level of the Yellow River has begun to drop, and the river beach has become a new road, which belongs to Lishan alone.

Tongguan will also become the hub between Guanzhong and Hangu Pass, and it is really my brother-in-law's vision that is unique.

A brother-in-law is able to connect many seemingly unrelated things together and thus combine them into a whole, which is often of great use.

At the beginning, Lishan gave the court a set of old style steam engines, but although everyone in the court had discussed the steam engine at that time, they did not take it to heart after all.

Whether it was the father or the courtiers, they all felt that the steam engine could be replaced by a lot of manpower, and there was no need to make changes for the sake of an unknown monster.

Now Lisan uses railways and trains to show them how powerful knowledge is.

This train alone covers all the knowledge of Lishan.

In the past two years, many craftsmen in Lishan have integrated this knowledge and gained a lot.

As my brother-in-law said, Lishan will always stand at the forefront of technological manufacturing, and its infinite imagination and creativity will make Datang shine.

On Lishan Mountain, Xiao Qingqing watched the train come and go, one trip after another, she looked at it with a telescope, and she could also see the station under construction, where there were many people.

"Dad, I want to take the train too."

Zhang Yang looked at the news sent by Shanxi, was a little worried about the news, and sighed in a low voice: "Aunt Yang." ”

Aunt Yang had a lot of gray hair on her temples, and she smiled kindly: "What arrangements does the county marquis have?" ”

"Take Qingqing to take the train, remember to come back for dinner."

"Thank you, Dad." She happily threw the telescope in her hand to her brother.

Zhang Xin'an made a mistake in an addition problem within a hundred, and was being punished for writing homework at the moment, and looked at his sister's back with envy.
