Chapter 981 is nearing completion

"Haha......" Ying Zheng laughed, he was happy with Qin An's words that if he gave the First Emperor a map of the world, he could lead a large army to unify the world.

He didn't expect that the people of later generations would have such a high opinion of his winning government.

Originally, he didn't have this opportunity in history, but now he has, and he wants to dominate the world.

After Ying Zheng restrained his smile, he spoke: "That's right, as long as you give me a map of the world, I can unify the world."

Today, a small part of the world has been conquered by me. The rest of the land, I will continue to conquer. ”

"I will do my best to help my father-in-law." Qin An said.

Ying Zheng said: "It's a pity that Daqin is not strong enough, otherwise you can set off directly in multiple ways, not only the navy, but also the army."

I knew that the remnants of the Mauryan Empire had been driven away by Xiang Yu and them, and their army had withdrawn to Persia in the Western Regions.

If Persia was already in turmoil, every time the Mauryan army conquered a city, it would burn and loot the city, and do all kinds of evil.

The kings of Persia have already sent envoys to ask my Great Qin to send troops to rescue them.

I didn't take care of them, and now the messenger is still in Xianyang City.

Qin An, I plan to hand over this matter to you, whether you can save it or not, and how to save it, I will leave it to you to deal with.

Are you willing to accept it? ”

Qin An smiled and said, "Isn't it just to meet the envoy of the Persian country, and it's not a difficult task, so what's not to accept."

Even if you ask me to send troops against Persia, it is my duty to do so. ”

"Then this time lead the army to Persia. Why don't you go and attack the Roman Empire by the way? Ying Zheng said with a smile.

Qin An rolled his eyes and said, "Father-in-law, do you really plan to let me go?" ”

"Didn't you say it was your duty?" Ying Zheng said with a smile.

Qin An said speechlessly: "Since that's the case, then let's do it." However, before we go to Persia, we will build a steam fire. ”

"What year do you have to wait until Ma Yue?" Ying Zheng asked.

"It's coming." Qin An said, "The steam train has actually been built a long time ago, and now all we are waiting for is the railway.

After two years of laying the railway, it is almost finished.

It won't be long before the first trial will be carried out, and as soon as the first opening is completed, then we will be able to take the train to the countries of the Western Regions.

Then lead a large army to Persia, which is simply twice the result with half the effort, saving a lot of time and reducing a lot of grain and grass.

The amount of grain and grass needed for the march of the army was astronomical, and the steam train helped the imperial court save a lot of grain and grass. ”

Ying Zheng suddenly became interested and said, "Is it finally going to be completed?" Great, how long will it take? ”

Qin An thought for a while and said, "Half a month's time, just use this half a month to meet the Persian envoy." ”

"Okay, I'll wait for half a month." Ying Zheng said, "I want to be the first to ride a steam train." ”

Qin An nodded and said: "This is a bit of a problem, the first person to ride is always the one who tests the car."

I have said before that any invention has the possibility of failure, and like this steam train, I can't guarantee that this steam train will succeed the first time, and now it needs to be tested on the road. ”

Ying Zheng nodded and said, "I won't kill you first with those test people, but after the test run, I will be the first to ride the steam train." ”

"Of course." Qin An said, "I have specially arranged three or four carriages for entertaining VIPs.

There are beds, washrooms, kitchens, guardhouses, and so on in a carriage.

Originally, one carriage could be used to carry two or three hundred people, but now it is dedicated to serving one person. ”

Ying Zheng smiled: "You are quite thoughtful, not bad." Very good. ”

Afterwards, Ying Zheng and Qin An chatted for a while, and Qin An left.

After Qin An left, he did not go to the Persian merchant for the first time, but came to the Heavenly Works Bureau.

Cuttlefish with a group of craftsmen from the Tiangong Bureau, the children of the Mo family, and the children of the public losers are inspecting the steam train.

This is the first steam train in Daqin, so in their hearts, it must succeed, and they must not be allowed to make any mistakes.

So they have to check it almost every day.

After Qin An arrived at the Tiangong Bureau, the cuttlefish and others put down all their work as soon as possible, and then greeted Qin An's arrival.

After Qin An saw everyone, he didn't say much nonsense, and almost went straight to the topic.

"I'm here to ask you how the steam train is?"

"Return to the Emperor." The cuttlefish replied, "Everything is ready, we have double-checked it several times.

In the past few days, we have been checking every day, and there is no problem, and now the only problem is the test.

Only when the steam train is completely open can we know if there is a problem with the steam train. ”

"Good." Qin An was very satisfied with this, "The railroad track will be completely completed in two days." ”

A group of people such as cuttlefish showed excitement, they had been waiting for this day for a long time.

"Great, the railroad is finally finished." "We've been waiting for more than a month. ”

Qin An smiled: "It's been a long time. I can't wait for it now, the steam train is an epoch-making large-scale means of transportation.

As long as it is completely completed, Great Qin will be several times richer.

Then we entered the electric age and completed the second industrial revolution.

In this way, Daqin will be able to gradually keep up with future technology. And all of this requires people like you.

You can't just rely on you, you also need to train more talents like you for the country.

No, it should be said that we have cultivated talents who are even better than you.

This is called the blue out of the blue is better than the blue, generation after generation of talents appear in Daqin, Daqin will be even stronger, and your ancestors will be immortal, so that the younger generations will always remember you.

No, the whole world will remember you, and the history books will record all your credits. ”

Cuttlefish and others became excited again, admired by future generations, and remembered by history books, what a proud thing it was.

"Emperor, I'm very excited now, I wish I could let this steam train run for trial now." Cuttlefish said.

"Me too." Qin An said, "Everything is ready, only the east wind is owed."

Also, I have one more thing for you to do. ”

"What?" The cuttlefish asked.

Qin An replied, "It is to continue to build steam trains." This time, I built trains in one direction, but I built three railways at once. Three steam trains can be provided to run at the same time.

In the future, if there are many people, we will increase the number of times at any time.

Not only passenger carriages, but also national transport carriages and so on......"
