In fact, the residential settlement near the Xinhang mine can no longer be described as a 'village'.

The heart of the mountain was razed to the ground by the bombing team, and about 20 square kilometers of flat land were sorted out.

Groups of victims of the disaster are working on emergency urban planning under the leadership of the elders of the Immortal Sect.

The pavement is paved with fine sand and gravel, which is solidified with soil cement, which can be used for trolleys to run quickly.

On both sides of the road, you can see expressionless yellow turban wrestlers doing various construction work.

With the concerted efforts of the Yellow Turban Lux and the victims, the simple muddy mud houses rose from the ground, and the prototype of a small county town gathered along the crossroads.

In the center of the city, an antique Taoist temple is located here.

The plaque hanging outside the Taoist temple has a few big characters on it: Changsheng Temple, Xinhang Branch.

Zhang Yuqing was sitting in the worship hall of the Taoist temple, with his back to the statue of the Immortal Venerable and flipping through the documents.

During this period of time, there have been more and more documents that need to be dealt with within the Immortal Sect, and every day a special person has to deliver letters on a fast horse, and go back and forth to Yubianliang and Lin'an City to communicate with each other.

"A total of 821 students in the first class of Changsheng Academy have reached the graduation standard, and all of them have passed the test papers I left behind, confirming that they have reached a level that can enlighten people in terms of simplified Chinese teaching, basic mathematics and physics."

"Xinhang has transferred eighty graduates here, and it is expected to be transferred to the teaching team of the Xinhang branch of Changsheng College, well, it is not enough, write back to the financial director and ask her to allocate another hundred people."

"The envoys of all the families are asking when they will be able to deliver the thermal spinning machines? Tell them to wait a little longer and say we're in full swing. ”

Zhang Yuqing flipped through the pages and stopped slightly, turned his head and asked Lu Liang: "How are the preparations for the factory here in Xinhang?" ”

The water system in Lin'an is developed, and before the railway project is completed, the best way to quickly deploy machines and coal from all over the country is to go through the water system.

This is also the reason why Zhang Yuqing will take time out of his busy schedule to go to the Xinhang mine to lead the work.

All the work on Bianliang's side has come to an end for the time being, and it is enough for Zixuan and her people to do it.

Zhang Yuqing wanted to personally lead the implementation of the first city of the Immortal Sect, and in the future, the disciples of the Immortal Sect in various places would follow the same steps to gather the people in various places to establish political power and cities.

"Hui Zhangjiao, the site is already being selected." Lu Liang bowed his head and replied.

"Well, I'll go with you in the afternoon."

Zhang Yuqing frowned and thought for a while, and then asked, "How is the work of eradicating illiteracy for the people going?" ”

Lu Liang was slightly bitter when he heard this, and complained: "I don't know anything about the master, these ...... None of the people are willing to participate in literacy classes, and if it weren't for the fact that every household could receive a bowl of rice porridge if they had not volunteered to participate in the literacy classes after work, I am afraid that the literacy work would have been impossible to continue. ”

"Even so, most of the people who come to participate in the literacy class have the mentality of messing around, and they all take time to take a nap while our disciples are lecturing, and they do not study the simplified Chinese characters and mathematics seriously."

Zhang Yuqing nodded, but he didn't criticize Lu Liang.

He also did not expect these people to be rich and rich, because literacy did not bring substantial benefits in the past life experience of these people, so they lacked the motivation to learn, which is human nature.

At first, the requirements he set were not high, and it was enough for the people to know about 100 simple characters, to be able to do some simple addition, subtraction, multiplication and division operations with Arabic numerals, and to be able to sing the "Song of Eternal Life" compiled by him.

But he did not expect that the people would be so reluctant to eradicate illiteracy, and seemed to complain that the literacy class was delaying the progress of their homeland construction.

In the past few days, Zhang Yuqing has hidden his figure after dinner and walked around, and he has heard many people complaining about this matter, so he will ask Lu Liang for details.

Seeing that Lu Liang was also worried, Zhang Yuqing frowned and said, "After the future literacy class, open the water curtain magic circle for half an hour to watch the people who have participated in the literacy class and completed the homework. ”

Lu Liang was slightly startled when he heard this, and said: "But the master of the sect, the immortal curtain is left in Bianliang, and we don't have it here." ”

"I know, I'll redraw a water curtain circle for you."

Zhang Yuqing thought: "Anyway, the water curtain array is not expensive, it ranks last in the mountain protection array, no one thought that this thing would be used for a movie with a first-class effect, I bought three more sets when I was looking for a tooth man to buy food last time." ’

The three sets of magic circles asked him for sixty spirit stones, and Zhang Yuqing chose to barter.

The more than 20 low-grade spirit weapons in the Li family's treasury were of little use in his hands, so he took this opportunity to sell them all to the tooth man in exchange for more than 100 spirit stones.

Zhang Yuqing has been in charge of the great Immortal Sect for a period of time, and he has long since shaken off the petty family spirit of the tenant period.

The transaction of more than 100 spirit stones was completed casually, but there was a light breeze on the face, and it seemed that he was completely ignorant.

It also made the tooth man look surprised, and secretly speculated that Zhang Yuqing was probably from an extraordinary background, and he must be the head of a big family.

Sure enough, it is the children of big families who are still thinking about buying food for mortals, and this kind of temperament of not treating spirit stones as spirit stones is too right.

The tooth man became more and more respectful, and gave Zhang Yuqing the largest preferential permission within the scope of his authority, just to leave a good fate.

I bought three new sets of magic circles, and I didn't know where to use them for a while.

Now that the pilot city has been officially launched in Xinhang, it is better to come up with a set of tools to reward the people's literacy.

Let these people slowly get used to the process of literacy, and when various machines are updated in the future, these people who know some basic simplified Chinese characters will be of great use.

For every more literate people, there will be more strength for the working class in the future.

In addition to literacy, the promotion of 'Kaifeng official dialect' is not easy.

The spoken language on Lin'an's side is more inclined to Wu Nong's soft language, which really doesn't match the Kaifeng dialect of Dakai and Dahe.

But Zhang Yuqing is not a strong demand, everyone must speak Kaifeng dialect, his requirement is that everyone needs to be able to understand, and it is enough to be able to speak some simple spoken language.

The importance of the same track and the same text is self-evident.

Homophony is actually more important.

If you want to create a cultural subject that all people can agree with, homophony is the basic requirement.

Otherwise, Zhang Yuqing would not dare to imagine how many dubbing times the movies shot in the future will have to be successfully promoted.

But no matter how difficult it is, Zhang Yuqing does not intend to give up the promotion of these two things, and the reason why Lu Liang shows movies to the people is also because of this.

If you want to understand what the people in the movie say, you have to learn the text honestly, or learn the official dialect of Kaifeng, otherwise just looking at the bizarre pictures will be exciting, and you will feel bored after a long time.

After finalizing these two matters, Zhang Yuqing continued to ask: "How is the planning of the railway?" ”

Lu Liang wiped a handful of sweat that didn't exist on his forehead, and said honestly: "It's basically still in the early planning stage." ”

"His Royal Highness Zhangjiao's plan is too grandiose, and it is estimated that the iron ore and timber consumed by linking the eighteen mines in the Great Song Dynasty with the 'railway' is an astronomical amount!"

"And we also need to recruit enough people to carry out the construction, the disciple has just received a reply from the Dao Academy, and it is expected to take at least eighteen months!"

The Taoist Academy is the most popular administrative unit of the Changsheng Sect in recent times.

It's full of qualified craftsmen and graphers who have been tested for their beliefs.

Zhang Yuqing easily taught some of the miscellaneous thoughts in his mind to these clever people of the Great Song Dynasty, such as the ideas of 'train', 'airplane', 'steam engine', 'spinning machine', 'gunpowder ratio', and so on.

Then he talked about the assumptions of "gravitational force", "the action of force is mutual", "piston connecting rod", and so on.

and personally led this group of people to come up with a prototype steam engine.

After that, it was out of control, and various machines with steam engines as power sources were developed.

Recently, they are tinkering with the composition of the original train, which is already in the stage of model casting.

The train, which has been reduced by 300 times, has successfully been tested at Xishan General Altar, and except for the fact that it is not easy to brake, other places are very close to the idea in Zhang Yuqing's mind.

The braking system is still under development, but Zhang Yuqing has already issued a decree that all mines must allocate some manpower to participate in the construction of the railway.

The so-called if you want to get rich, you must first build roads.

Waterways cannot last a lifetime, and qualified transportation facilities must be built on land in order to truly achieve government decree accessibility.

The total length of the railway is expected to be more than 4,200 kilometers with 18 mines as the core, of which more than 900 kilometers from Bianliang to Lin'an alone are expected to be built in more than 18 months.

It costs about 20 million yuan, and for this reason, most of the profits from the sale of thermal spinning machines have to be invested in the construction of railways.

But Zhang Yuqing didn't care.

These copper coins were a string of numbers to him, and as long as the Immortal Sect retained the power to mobilize resources, even spending another 20 million yuan would not make him frown.

Because Zhang Yuqing knows that if you want to maximize the use of these rich mineral resources, you must be inseparable from the developed railway transportation system.

After all, he was only a mid-stage Qi refining cultivator, and his means were limited.

Even if he took all five storage bags on his body to store coal, iron ore, and stone ore, he wouldn't be able to hold much at all.

If this continues, the efficiency of material operation in various places will be terrible, and the real arrival of industrialization will be delayed again and again.

Whether the railway can be officially launched is an important indicator to determine whether it has entered the stage of comprehensive industrialization.

For this reason, the unit named 'Changshengjiao Railway Transportation Bureau' has already hung a sign at the general altar of Xishan Changshengguan, Zhang Yuqing personally served as the bureau seat, Lin Yuanai served as the deputy bureau, Lu Liang hung the name of the deputy bureau, and Zixuan was responsible for finance......

Basically, the entire upper echelons of the Immortal Sect held positions in the General Administration of Railways, and everyone knew how much the Sect Leader cared about the railways.

Because of this, the people of the Taoist Academy would be so impatient to study the model of the train every day and night.

After lunch, Zhang Yuqing, accompanied by Lu Liang, left the new Hangzhou City, which was still under construction, and came to the intersection of the coal mine and the city center.

This is a large valley that was blown up during the original bombing, and the terrain is quite stable, and there is a Bobo River flowing not far away.

With just a little trimming, a large factory building can be built.

The most important thing is that the railway connecting the new Hangchenggen coal mine is bound to pass through here around the mountains, which can well connect the three places as a line.

Zhang Yuqing nodded and said to Lu Liang: "Good job." ”

Lu Liang was flattered and said: "Thanks to the cultivation of His Highness the Sect Master!" ”

He felt something in his heart, thinking back to the time since he had followed the Daozi of the Sect Leader, and was amazed by these 'immortal things' from the beginning, to the current practice makes perfect, and even being able to personally control a large number of these mysterious things to build and finally produce them, and his heart was also full of mixed feelings.

After all, he is an old man over half a hundred years old, and his acceptance of new things is not high.

The so-called "factory", "railway" and "machine" are only at the point where they can be repeated, but they cannot understand the deep meaning at all.

Lu Liang just proceeded with the procedures step by step, completely in accordance with Zhang Yuqing's instructions and the decree, and left all the specific affairs to those young people who had just graduated from the Immortal Academy.

Those young people were full of energy, and after reading several textbooks compiled by Zhang Yuqing in the academy, they didn't know why they were thinking about leading the people to live a life of abundant food and clothing every day.

For this reason, they arranged for them to teach these victims every day and night, and no one complained.

Even when they see that the people are not interested in the class, they will show an expression of sadness and anger, and they have to force everyone to listen to the class honestly before they give up.

Whenever he saw such a scene, Lu Liang couldn't help but sigh that he was still old.

Not as good as these young people.

Even Lui Zhixin, who has studied at the academy for a while, seems to know more about what the so-called factories and railways are than he does.

Lu Zhixin really wanted to explain to him that every student who entered the academy had to take a course in the 'Handbook of Immortal Experiences and Experiences' compiled by the Taoist master.

In this course, everyone should read in detail what the master of the Daozi had seen and heard in the fairy world.

They knew that in the fairy world, everyone was created equal, and they didn't have to worry about three meals a day.

The grain in the field will grow smoothly and will not require people to spend energy on it.

There are immortal artifacts in the world, which can instantly allow a person to quickly reach another place, and everyone can ride it, without the need for cultivation at all, and there is no need to ride as slow and uncomfortable as a carriage.

And in the fairy world, people can communicate with each other at any time, and a single thought can communicate with relatives who are far away in the sky.

According to the description of the Daozi of the Zhangjiao, as long as they work hard to learn the Taoism and learn the production methods of these immortal artifacts, they will one day be able to raise the living standard of the Great Song Dynasty to the same level as the fairy world.

Lui Zhixin has also been yearning for this kind of life for a long time.
