Chapter 416: Requests from States

Regarding the matter of rail transit, Wu Changsheng is naturally clear, and he also knows that Ye Zan wants to use it to obtain merit. It's just that he doesn't have much understanding of the influence of rail transit, and he just thinks that this is a new mode www.biquge.info of transportation. Therefore, several countries around the Tang Dynasty actually sent envoys for this matter, which made him feel a little incomprehensible.

However, it's not to blame Wu Changsheng for his lack of knowledge.

After all, Wu Changsheng is a cultivator, although he has been in charge of the Yuqing Sect for many years, and his status is not inferior to that of the lords of various countries, he has always paid attention to staying away from the world. The so-called art industry has a specialization, and the interlacing is like a mountain, so he naturally can't have much insight into the secular society, especially what people's livelihood is affected.

And Ye Zan, his understanding of the influence of rail transit is far from being comparable to Wu Changsheng. Not to mention that social adaptability experiments have been carried out in the small world, just by looking at the development history of the technological world, we can know how great changes this rail transit will bring to human society. Therefore, he could be said to have expected the sending of envoys from several neighboring countries, and he was not surprised at all when he heard the news.

Nowadays, although only a few trunk lines have been built in Datang Kingdom's rail transit, the role of rail transit has been very obvious. As long as you are not a stupid person, you can see the impact of rail transit on a country from these main lines.

For rulers, perhaps the most important concern is how to make their rule more stable.

Originally, the rulers of various countries had to face such a problem, that is, how to deal with the generals who guarded the border gates. You must know that although the countries in the Shenhua Domain have not had large-scale wars for many years, they still have to use heavy troops at the border gates. That is to say, among all the generals of various countries, the generals who guard the border passes are the generals with absolute real power, and they must have military power in their hands.

If this person has too much power in his hands, he will inevitably have some other ideas. Even if he doesn't have an idea, the people under him, or anyone else, will use various methods to make him "have" an idea.

In the long history of the Shenhua Domain, the rebellion of the generals of the border towns can really be said to be endless. The reasons for raising troops are because of the decay of the royal family, some are instigated by the enemy country, and some are because of the so-called "yellow robe" and so on. Regardless of whether the rebellion succeeds or fails in the end, it is a great loss of a country's national strength, and it is also a huge disaster for the people.

Therefore, no matter how loyal the other party is to those border town generals, the lords of each country will be very vigilant.

The emergence of Qianli Sound has solved the problem of timely transmission of information for the rulers of various countries. Before there was a news of thousands of miles, especially when it was far away from the national capital, those border town generals rebelled, and when the lord of the country got the news of the rebellion, the other party often had a certain scale. Then, the lord's side mobilized the army to prepare food and grass, which would take a few days no matter how fast it was, and gave the rebels the opportunity to further expand their scale.

And after the transmission of thousands of miles, if there is really any rebellion, the lord of the country will soon get the news and immediately start preparations for counterinsurgency. However, this only saves time for the transmission of information, and it will still take a lot of time for the army to go to the front to suppress the rebellion when everything is ready.

Now, the emergence of rail transit has undoubtedly filled the gap in this regard. The timely delivery of information, coupled with the great improvement in transportation efficiency, is undoubtedly the perfect match for the rulers of various countries to stabilize their rule.

If there is a rail transit, and if there is a rebellion in a border town, the lord of the country can not only get the news in time, but also quickly put the army on the front line, so that the rebels will be suppressed before they have time to form a scale.

This alone is enough to have a huge attraction to the owners of various countries. For those lords of the country, I am afraid that there is nothing in the world that is more important than letting them sit in that seat.

What's more, the role of rail transit is not only this, not to mention the extreme situation of rebellion and disaster, just the daily transportation and circulation of goods, for the development of a country is also huge. Although only a few main trunk lines have been built in the Tang Kingdom, anyone with a little foresight in all countries can see that the national strength of the Tang Kingdom is gradually accelerating as if it is on a rail train. Perhaps it won't be long before the growth of the national strength of the Tang Kingdom will leave the surrounding countries far behind.

If the construction of this rail transit is simply led by the Tang Kingdom, then at this time, I am afraid that all countries will have tried their best to sabotage it. After all, a strong neighbor, and a neighbor that is still getting stronger, is something that those countries around Datang absolutely do not want to see.

However, what makes countries helpless is that the leader of this rail transit construction is not the Tang Kingdom, which stands in the same position as them, but the Yuqing Sect, which is gaining momentum in the monastic world. You must know that in the construction of rail transit, Yuqingzong has sent ten Yuanying Ancestors, which is enough to see how much Yuqingzong attaches importance to this matter. Although they couldn't understand why the Yuqing Sect suddenly intervened in worldly things, and they were so expensive, they also knew that as long as they dared to move the rail transit, it would be tantamount to opposing the Yuqing Sect.

Although the royal families of various countries are protected by dragon qi, it does not mean that if they really tear their faces, Yuqing Sect will have no way to take them.

Originally, the countries also pinned their hopes on other sects, hoping that other sects would be able to restrain the Yuqing Sect in this matter. But last time, the people of the Five Sects, led by Ziyang Zhenjun, came to the Yuqing Sect to take a turn, but they did not let the Yuqing Sect make any changes. Although the countries did not know how the Yuqing Sect and the Five Sects talked, they could guess with their toes that the Five Sects had not been able to affect the Yuqing Sect.

So, out of fear of Yuqingzong, all countries invariably changed their thinking, since they couldn't stop the construction of rail transit in the Tang Kingdom, it was better to participate in it. You have rail transit, I also have rail transit, so don't we all stand on the same starting line again? What's more, as I said before, although the investment in this rail transit is not small, it can be beneficial to the rule after completion, and the role of improving national strength has also been verified to a certain extent in the Tang Dynasty.

For Yezan, being able to expand rail transit to a larger scale means that he will gain more merit. Therefore, when he heard Wu Changsheng say that the envoys of various countries had not left, he was too lazy to play the trick of fishing people's appetites, so he asked Wu Changsheng to send people to invite the envoys of various countries to the side hall of Yuquan Peak.

Regarding the construction of rail transit, it can be said that you are willing to do so, so Ye Zan and the envoys of various countries did not have much tension in negotiations. Moreover, the conditions proposed by Ye Zan's side are not as harsh as the countries think. For example, the question of the ownership of the transport sector, which is of primary concern to the heads of countries, is expected to be a very difficult negotiation on this issue. But no one expected that Ye Zan didn't intend to pinch it in his hands at all, and he didn't need them to pretend to be pitiful and talk about difficulties, and he was clearly thrown to various countries as soon as he came up.

Ye Zan's only request is the resettlement of those who were originally engaged in the transportation industry, and this is actually beneficial to the countries themselves. In any era, the unemployed are a destabilizing factor in society, such as a famous unemployed postman who overthrew a dynasty because of unemployment. Although not all unemployed people will become the famous unemployed post men and do such earth-shattering things, the impact on social stability cannot be ignored.

In fact, the people are easily satisfied, but as long as they can fill their stomachs, as long as they can have a way to live, no one will risk killing their heads to rebel. Therefore, Ye Zan's request is not a requirement for countries at all, this is what they should do.

Of course, Ye Zan doesn't really want to be selfless, and the accounts that should be calculated still have to be calculated with other countries. For example, in terms of construction materials, this needs to be provided by countries. It is impossible for Ye Zan to dig up all the resources of the small world of Asgard in order to build rail transit for them. And the envoys of various countries have no objection to this, Yuqingzong is already good if they don't collect wages from them, so they can't still expect Yuqingzong to post construction materials upside down.

The talks between the two sides did not take much time to reach an agreement on the construction of this rail transit.

After the talks, the envoys of various countries still felt as if they were dreaming until they left Yuqingzong. They came with the preparation of cutting meat, and they didn't expect that they would be treated the same as Datang Guoneng, but they didn't expect that they didn't even have to release blood, and this thing was done.

"It seems that we need to study some engineering magic tools. ”

After sending off the envoys from various countries, Ye Zan was also in a pretty good mood, after all, it meant that a lot of merit would be credited to the account. However, the problem also arises, that is, the efficiency of the construction is somewhat unable to keep up. Although the five second-rate sects around the Ziyang Sect had promised that when the rail transit expanded to their side, their sects would also send people to participate in the construction, but the cultivators were not professional after all, and the magic weapons they used were not professional, so the improvement of construction efficiency was also limited.

For example, if you want to dig a tunnel, the usual practice of the cultivators is to directly sacrifice the flying sword and constantly cut and dig holes in the mountain. Even if the flying sword was a divine weapon, even if the sword wielder had profound mana, it would not be easy to dig a tunnel. Moreover, such non-standard construction often causes a waste of labor, and it is not uncommon for a tunnel to be opened.

Therefore, Ye Zan had to think about using those construction machinery in the world of science and technology to apply them to this world after they were transformed into magic weapons.

Fortunately, now that Ye Zan has stepped into the realm of Yuanying, coupled with the enlightenment under the giant tree, he has a deeper understanding of his three avenues. Therefore, in the matter of instrumentalizing construction machinery, he no longer has too many difficulties here.

After returning to his residence, Ye Zan saw that in the open space outside his courtyard, little Lori was riding on the back of a white bear, and her lower body was sunk into the soft fur, and she laughed happily. The two wolf demons were closely following the white bear, stretching their arms nervously, as if they were afraid that the little Lori would fall off the bear's back. On the other side, Xiao Baxia lay there quietly, and the mandrill demon and the snow ape demon were waiting on both sides, pinching Xiao Baxia's legs and feet very dogged. The octopus demon had six tentacles on his back, holding a big fruit bowl in his hand, and kept feeding the fruit to Xiao Baxia.

It seems that these little demons have adapted to their identities! Ye Zan looked amused and walked over.

"Daddy!" Little Lori saw Ye Zan coming, and immediately shouted happily, and jumped up from the back of the white bear and pounced towards Ye Zan side.

Ye Zan opened his arms, took Xiao Loli in his arms steadily, and said, "Linglong, are they okay with you?"

Hearing Ye Zan's words, the little Lori hadn't opened her mouth yet, but the little demons couldn't help but stiffen, and they all looked at this side a little nervously.

"Aung Ang!" Xiao Ba called twice, as if he was a little dissatisfied with them for stopping.

"Young master, forgive the sins, the little one will peel the fruit for you. The octopus demon came back to his senses and said quickly.

This octopus demon is really suitable for this job, grabbing a spirit fruit from the fruit bowl, and sucking the suction cup on the tentacle, the skin of the spirit fruit was immediately peeled clean. Immediately afterwards, it dipped the peeled spirit fruit in the honeydew in another fruit bowl, and then carefully fed it to Xiao Baxia.

"Daddy, it's so fun to have them to play with Linglong! Thank you, Daddy. Little Lori said with a smile, and pouted and chirped on Ye Zan's face.

"Okay, Linglong is happy. Ye Zan kissed little Lori on the forehead and said.

Let the little Lori go to play with a few demon clans, Ye Zan stood by and watched for a while, then turned around and returned to his yard and began to study the magic of construction machinery. For the sake of Xiao Lori, he also needs to accumulate more merit on the merit tablet as soon as possible, in case Jiaosheng will beat his daughter's idea in the future.

For the current Ye Zan, there are not too many difficulties in the magic of construction machinery. So, in just a few days, Yetzan built the first machine for tunneling. This machine, purely powered by mana, is no different from using a magic weapon, and at the same time as the tunnel is excavated, special paint is sprayed to reinforce the tunnel.

A few days later, Ye Zan created a professional machine for tamping the foundation, which was more efficient than Cheng Liangqi and them using the Coiling Dragon Golden Seal.

After experiments, Ye Zan made several of these two types of machinery each, and called Ye Xiao back through thousands of miles of sound transmission.
