"Ruixue is a mega year, it looks like next year will be another year of wind and rain."

In the City Lord's Mansion of Shanhai City, Zhang Qi stood under the eaves of the patio with his back hand and looked at the well hall buried by snow at his feet.

"Where is the Han army?"

Behind Zhang Qi, a dotted line agent weaving a web was bowing and waiting, listening to the question, and took a few small steps forward to reply.

"A Chen soldier goes to the county, a Chen soldier Taiyuan, and a Chen soldier Julu, and Cheng doesn't know how to look at each other."

"Oh, it's worthy of being the commander of the Yulin Lang army, so it's cautious, but hehe, under this icy sky, they have to shrink honestly."

"Have you ever explored the grain road?"

"This time, the Han army is very cautious, and the transportation materials go through the Cao Canal, and the subordinates and others can still reach in."

"Well, Liu Che has also learned enough lessons from successive defeats, it seems that there is no chance to please him, so send a message to Ju Yanze, and wait for my order to act."

"No!"

The spy hid his figure, and Zhang Qi was still standing on the eaves under the patio with his hands behind his back, holding his head slightly high, and taking a deep breath of cold air.

"It's going to be soon, hehe."

300,000 Han troops, and even by April and May next year at the latest, these Han troops will be in Liaodi.

The countermeasures taken by Zhang Qi will also appear on the stage of history one by one next year.

He's looking forward to it.

This battle can be regarded as a life-and-death battle of the Han Dynasty, if you win, the world is stable, and if you lose, then you will sing and I will appear!

In that position, it's time for someone with the whole earth in mind to sit down!

This world needs to be unified!

——

Plug outside.

Even if the snow covers the ground, it can't hide the heat on the construction site.

The sleepers were lowered one by one, and workers in groups of twenty or thirty carrying heavy steel rails laid the rails on the sleepers.

Just 100 meters away from the construction site, countless tents are located in an orderly manner.

These people are naturally the people who were requisitioned from Lezhou.

And what they did was, of course, the first and second railways in the world.

The reason why it is said that it is the first and the second is naturally because this is two railway lines at one time, and the distance between the railways is only three meters.

Liaoze Railway is the name of this railway from Liaodi to Juyanze.

Today, the railway has been repaired almost one-twentieth of its length, and at this pace, the railway will be completed in two years.

Of course, it is impossible to say that the time will be accelerated, because the investment of manpower and the improvement of the proficiency of workers are important factors in determining the progress of construction.

Woo –

Woo woo –

Boom boom.

The rumbling sound of the train and the sound of the whistle sounded a few miles away from the construction site, and the terrain was flat and unobstructed, so the sound propagation was also transparent.

The foremen in charge of the overseers naturally paid attention, and the movement of the steam train let them know that a new batch of materials and daily necessities had been delivered.

The foremen began to beckon the workers to stop the construction, and the militia members of the battalion rode on their horses and waved bright red flags as soon as they heard the movement.

That's a sign that the train is slowing down.

In the fall.

After a long period of experimentation, Zhang Qi ordered the Liaoning side to start forming and putting it into use.

At present, the power of the steam train needs to be optimized, and a locomotive with several carriages full of 400 tons can only move at a speed of 25 kilometers per hour.

It's not fast to say, after all, the speed of the iterative war horse under Zhang Qi's command can easily break the speed of forty per hour, but the train wins without resting, 24 hours a day, 25 kilometers per hour, and 600 kilometers a day, which can be called a thousand miles a day and a daily travel of 400 tons.

With this, distance will not be an issue under Zhang Qi's rule.

Moreover, this is the first generation of steam locomotives, and there will definitely be more ways to optimize power in the future.

After all, if you want to increase the power, you just need to increase the speed of boiling water.

"The train is coming!!"

The militiaman who had ridden away before was now riding back, waving the bright red flag in his hand and shouting loudly, his face full of smiles.

And not only him.

The people of Lezhou who work here do not have the bitterness and hatred that everyone imagined, on the contrary, they are all comfortable.

At first, they were very frightened and resentful, but after a few meals, their fears and resentments disappeared, replaced by praise and yearning.

You can eat enough here!

In the past, I also did work, not to mention tiredness, and I had to take care of my own food, but now, as long as I work, I have food and shelter, and I still have 30 coins a month to get.

Don't look at this as a construction site, but you can also buy things here, and the merchants who came from Liaoning laid a lot of materials and commodities on the construction site.

Like what clothes and gloves, hot food and tea, there are everything in the construction site dormitory, and even there are massage masters in the construction site, tired for a few days, you can spend two or three dollars to take a comfortable bath, a set of processes, to ensure that the whole person is reborn.

And what kind of membership can be done in the bathhouse on the construction site, ordinary people wash for two or three dollars at a time, but if you run a membership, you can wash it every day for twenty yuan a month.

In the eyes of the workers in Lezhou, the businessmen who came from Liaoning were all good people and thought about them everywhere.

If you are tired of eating food, you can also change the taste at the dormitory shop, which is like coming to heaven for these Lezhou people.

Of course, in addition to consumption and savings, everyone is used to living a poor life, and there are still a few people who have money in their hands and are willing to spend, and more still want to save the monthly wages they get from work.

And the on-site dormitory can still meet them.

Liaoning Qianzhuang specially set up a branch in the construction site to welcome the majority of workers to store.

Of course.

At first, they didn't know what Qianzhuang was for these people in Lezhou, but after the explanation of their respective foremen, they all had some understanding.

But let's understand it, if you want these people to call out the money in their hands and exchange it for a few pieces of cardboard, these people will naturally not do it.

But no matter where it is, it should be bold or bold, and there are naturally some of these people, after trying to save money a few times and withdrawing money very smoothly, a group of Lezhou people also tried to deposit money into the bank.

And as they save money, they also get the invisible benefits of saving money: after 'going through the household registration procedures in advance', one to ten, ten to hundred, the entire construction site dormitory Lezhou people flocked to deposit their wages into the bank.

This scene made the Liaoning officials who were secretly operating a big sigh of relief.

It's good to save money, if these Lezhou people don't save money, the currency sent from Liaoning every month will be an astronomical amount.

Now they save money, every month as long as they send them the money they have deposited, and then wait for them to save, and as they go and go, everybody's money increases, but the money on the construction site remains at that amount.
