Chapter 409: Railroad

The Feng family really didn't think about rebellion, after all, the gap between Lingnan and Middle Earth was so big at this time, and the rebellion was to book an express bus for the whole family to go directly to the underworld.

Their original intention was only to increase the power in their hands, but this practice was in essence a rebellion.

Although Li Yunze will not take the road of dominating the world this time, his concept of thinking about the people of Middle-earth has never wavered.

No matter what era he was in before, he always adhered to this concept seriously.

The Feng family wants to maintain the status of listening to the tune and not listening to the propaganda, which is to protect the interests of their own family, but it is to the detriment of the lives of the people in Lingnan.

Not to mention that if there is a real fight, the people of Lingnan will suffer, after all, the most killed on the battlefield must be the children, husbands and fathers of the people.

This kind of invisible confrontation will essentially affect the living standards of the local people.

Not to mention anything else, Middle-earth obviously limited the supply of iron products to the Lingnan land, which naturally affected productivity.

The impact on productivity is, of course, on the quality of life of the people.

Li Yunze knows this very well, so this time he directly made it clear to Feng Zhidai, I don't care if your family wants to be the king of Lingnan, but if Li Er wants to crusade, I will definitely sponsor the imperial court, or really sponsor it.

Feng Zhidai's face turned pale when he said this, and he wanted to refute it, but he didn't know what to say.

After all, their Feng family is indeed essentially listening to the tune and not listening to the announcement.

In the end, Feng Zhidai could only sigh and hide his face and leave.

"Both the family and the country will choose the family." Li Yunze, who put away the fishing rod, sighed repeatedly, "If I hadn't had a space-time door, I would have been the same." ”

The fleet traveled north along the coastline, all the way into the river and outside the city of Jiangdu.

The person waiting here turned out to be the eldest grandson Wuji.

The smiling eldest grandson Wuji stepped forward to greet him, and after seeing the ceremony, he invited Li Yunze into the city for a banquet with a smile on his face.

The gold-plated and silver-painted, inlaid with transparent glass, and the carriage that had a lot of wind was also brought all the way to Jiangdu by the eldest grandson Wuji.

got into the carriage, the eldest grandson Wuji first asked the beautiful maids on the carriage to go down, and then poured a glass of wine by himself and handed it over, "The child doesn't know the height of the sky, the virtuous brother can help educate, and the foolish brother is very happy." ”

Li Yunze, who took the wine glass, smiled and asked, "Where did the eldest grandson go?" ”

"Young people need to sharpen their tempers." The eldest grandson Wuji's smile remained unchanged: "Brother Foolish, sent him back to his hometown to guard the ancestral grave." I hope that he can cultivate himself in front of his ancestors and ancestors, and learn how to behave in a good way. ”

Hearing this, Li Yunze raised his eyebrows, worthy of being Li Ke's eldest grandson Wuji, who had killed him alive, and he was ruthless enough when he started.

Guarding ancestral graves is not a good job these days.

Living on the edge of the cemetery for many years, waiting for idleness, is tantamount to a disguised imprisonment.

The eldest grandson was not only stripped of his power and glory as the prince of the Guogong Mansion, but was also kicked out and imprisoned.

Li Yunze understood what the eldest grandson Wuji meant, if he came to the sentence at this time, 'The child is not sensible, read a few days and repent. 'Then the eldest grandson Wuji will inevitably get off the donkey, and the eldest grandson will be released soon.

"If the son does not teach, the father is guilty." Li Yunze's smile deepened: "Even if Qi Guogong is busy with official business, he has to find time to educate his children." Otherwise, if the descendants are not filial, they can't even protect the tablet. ”

Eldest Sun Wuji twitched his eyelids and nodded again and again, "Brother Xian is right. ”

Since Li Yunze is unwilling to let go, this matter can only be skipped here.

As for when the eldest grandson will be able to leave the ancestral tomb, it depends on the interaction between the eldest grandson's family and Li Yunze.

If the eldest grandson's family has been begging Li Yunze, then his eldest grandson can only stay at the ancestral grave all the time.

After all, the eldest grandson Wuji has many sons, and the eldest grandson is not the eldest son, so it can only be said that he deserves to be unlucky.

This matter passed by, and the eldest grandson Wuji began to talk about business, "Before leaving Beijing, Your Majesty told me many times. It is said that Champa rice is very important, far from being comparable to spices..."

"It's done." Li Yunze nodded, "There are enough seeds, are the acres of land in the south of the Yangtze River ready?" ”

"I have already prepared, a full 10,000 acres of fields, just in time for spring ploughing. As long as the Zhancheng rice can really be harvested twice or even three times a year, my Datang will no longer have to worry about food shortage. ”

"You're thinking beautifully, but it's not that simple." Li Yunze shook his head and said, "The climate in the south of the Yangtze River can be twice a year, but further north, it can't, at most once a year." If you want to grow three times a year, you have to go south of Lingnan. ”

Hearing this, the eldest grandson Wuji frowned, "But it's all a smoky land over there, barren and useless..."

"There is no useless land on earth." Li Yunze was very unhappy when he heard this: "You can still dig oil in the desert, and you can not only grow Champa rice with three crops a year in the south, but also spices and rubber trees. ”

"Hehe~~~"

The eldest grandson Wuji smiled and diverted the topic, "Your Majesty instructed Brother Yu to handle this matter, and the matter of spices should be handed over to me." You can return to Beijing as soon as possible, Your Majesty is very anxious. ”

Li Yunze asked knowingly, "What's the hurry?" ”

"Naturally, it's a railroad thing." The eldest grandson Wuji lowered his voice, "Brother Fool has already collected a batch of wool from the grassland and put it in Lijiazhuang." ”

Li Yunze glanced at the eldest grandson Wuji, smiled and didn't say anything.

How could Li Er focus on the railway for the sake of wool, he clearly took a fancy to the railway's ability to move troops quickly!

Datang's military deployment is to concentrate the main force around Chang'an City.

If the railway is really as magical as Li Yunze said, then no matter where there is a war or rebellion, he can calmly move the main army to the destination through the railway, so as to minimize the impact and losses.

As the emperor immediately, Li Er values things related to the war the most.

He said he wanted to leave as soon as possible, but in fact it was not that easy.

The remaining Champa rice seeds were transported off the ship, and the manpower was arranged to take care of the sowing in the hope that the miracle of the grain harvest would be staged.

In addition, spices like mountains and seas are transported off the ship, loaded into various warehouses and strictly guarded.

Each family has people waiting here in Yangzhou City, and everyone has to sit down and distribute the things.

Of course, the spice rewards and wages agreed upon for everyone on the ship must be settled in advance.

In addition, Li Yunze also went to see the expanded dock built by the eldest grandson Wuji, and mobilized craftsmen to sail the big ships into the dock one by one for maintenance.

There are a lot of things, and it has been busy for more than half a month before it can be properly explained.

The follow-up work was handed over to the eldest grandson Wuji, and Li Yunze took a group of gentlemen and the entourage of the generals from various prefectures, and quickly returned the same way and went straight to Chang'an City.

This kind of long-distance journey on horseback has no pressure at all for Li Yunze, and this time he did not wait for those who were left behind, and he had already returned to Chang'an City in just ten days.

Li Er, who learned the news, hurried to Lijiazhuang.

I haven't seen him for more than half a year, Li Er's mustache is getting longer and longer, and there is a tendency to develop towards a big beard.

"This year's spring ploughing is over." Li Er didn't ask about the spices, but focused on inquiring about the railway, "You don't have much time left for your agreement with those people." ”

"It's been arranged a long time ago." Li Yunze responded very simply: "As long as Your Majesty's side has enough manpower, it will start soon." ”

Hearing this, Li Er subconsciously narrowed his eyes.

Although he had already seen Li Yunze's many miraculous methods, he could really take out 150,000,000 catties of fine iron to lay a railway or something, and Li Er still couldn't completely hide the horror in his heart.

That's the output of the entire Datang in 20 years!

The things prepared by Li Yunze naturally came from the modern world.

He purchased a sufficient number of scrapped rails and sleepers from a certain railway company, as well as many supporting spare parts.

The price is also very cheap, close to the price of scrap iron.

In fact, this kind of thing is very difficult to appear in reality, because even if it is to collect scrapped rails or something, it has to be a special person to be qualified to collect, that is, only people who have a way to do it, and they just want to collect rails as scrap iron or something, basically

It's just daydreaming.

The reason why Li Yunze was able to do it, and it was done very easily, was obviously because a certain iron company had received clear instructions.

After all, he didn't give him any deductions, nor did he go through any way to find anything to do with it, but he was able to get tens of thousands of tons of scrapped rails, and he didn't directly instruct how it was possible.

He roughly understood that he was exposed, after all, he was in the age of science and technology, and it was impossible to erase all traces of the repeated large-scale transfer of many materials.

But since he didn't take the initiative to find out, he pretended that he didn't know anything.

As for when to open the skylight and say something bright, wait until it is clear.

Li Yunze himself received training in relevant aspects in advance, and then trained the smart people of Datang, all of whom were carefully selected by Li Er and were elites who could read and write.

After the training, these people will become foremen, and they will start working with the men who have been sent out of the conscription.

By the end of the training, the railway from Chang'an City to Shengzhou officially started.

Even rails that have been scrapped after decades of use are still of excellent quality.

In Li Er's words, it is a treasure armor that is melted to make iron armor.

In the beginning, there were all kinds of troubles, and all kinds of mistakes emerged one after another.

But it doesn't matter, this is a job where practice makes perfect, and there is not much technical content, after all, it is not building high-speed rail.

As long as the train can run thirty or forty kilometers per hour, the technical content is really not high.

After the spring ploughing, it was the time when the farming was slack, and Li Er was able to use a large number of people to go out to work.

Moreover, Li Yunze not only pays wages, but also satisfies everyone's three meals a day, and the people are very motivated.

Over time, the speed of construction naturally increases.

The first stop on the north was Yunyang, and the most difficult part of this section was to build a bridge over the Wei River.

During the Tang Dynasty, soil erosion in Guanzhong was not so serious, and the water flow of the rivers was sufficient and the river surface was wide.

For example, the Wei River is more than 100 meters wide.

There is a bridge on the Wei River, but it is a wooden bridge, and it is impossible to withstand the passage of trains.

Li Yunze handed over the relevant materials to professional companies in the modern world as early as possible, and ordered the corresponding supporting facilities and various components through them.

After the start of construction, it was transported over for construction, and even a lot of engineering equipment was used.

The main significance of this railway is to display and train workers, and when Datang builds other railways in the future, it will be based on the local area.

What the Angsa bandits can do, there is no reason why Datang can't do it.
