Chapter 326: Strange Old Man
In the past six months, I took the three princes and nine qings except Feng Zai and Zhang Han to Lixian County.
There's no way, Feng Zheng Shou's house is so easy to use......
Lixian County is only half a day away from Xianyang Kuaima, and although the team is huge, it only took two days to arrive near Zhiyang in Lixian County.
The construction of the Guanluo Railway is still progressing slowly, and even one-fifth of the distance has not been completed in half a year.
The workers who are building the road are methodical, and after training and careful selection, the workers are now able to complete the work of laying the railway proficiently.
I walked over to the track that had just been laid and looked down.
"Have you tried it?"
Yu Jin bowed and said: "Back to Your Majesty, build an experimental section, at present, load-bearing, deformation, settlement, etc. are within the preset range, there is no problem with use, but the direction of livestock pulling the carriage is not easy to control, and some livestock will affect the entire railway once they go crazy." ”
I shook my head helplessly: "This problem is a dead knot, there is no good way for the time being, I can only wait for your steam engine to be successfully developed." ”
Yu Jin replied embarrassedly: "What Your Majesty said is that after Your Majesty's teaching during this time, you realized that the thing that was originally made was simply a donkey's head and not a horse's mouth, and even the rubber minister that Your Majesty said didn't use it, which is really embarrassing." ”
I smiled, I had taught them a lot about developing the steam engine during this time, and on the whole the craftsmen of the Shofu had met my expectations, and it was not easy for them to come up with a method for forging steel, if nothing else.
"Livestock problems can only be controlled through careful selection, and try to avoid using animals that are in heat and have just given birth to their young."
"That's right." I looked at Ge Yue curiously: "There are mules now, right?" Why not use mules? ”
Mules not only have strong endurance, greater strength, docile character, and average food consumption, and were bred on a large scale as draft animals after the Ming Dynasty.
Ge Yue said respectfully: "Back to Your Majesty, there is." But mules are hard to come by, the price is quite expensive, and they are generally only used for pleasure, can they also be used as draft animals? ”
I nodded: "Of course, mules have a lot of benefits as draft animals, you can find a mule and try it, but there are two kinds of mules, you know, right?" Mules used as draft animals must be mated with male donkeys and mares, and such mules are best used. ”
Ge Yue thought for a moment and arched his hand: "The minister understands, and after returning to Xianyang, the minister will start to do this." ”
"Good."
I saw that there was no problem with the construction of the Guanluo Railway, and said after a while: "Li Si and Yu He, the two of you will accompany me to Li County." ”
The two glanced at each other, bowed down and said, "The minister obeys!" ”
"Others study here, this will be the beginning of Daqin's rapid development period!"
"Obey your orders!"
————
Zhiyang belongs to Lixian County, and Lixian County belongs to the internal history, the two are closer, and three people and hundreds of forbidden troops arrived in Lixian County in an hour.
Lixian is a large county, that is, the area of Lintong today, with a population of 12,000 households, and all the dynasties in Guanzhong, the capital of Dingdu, are the land of Gyeonggi.
The county population of Lixian County also has nearly 3,000 households.
Along the way, when I saw the houses of ordinary people, I couldn't help but sigh: "I am ashamed of the head of the world!" ”
Li Si was thoughtful, but Yu He didn't know why I was so sentimental, and wondered: "Why did Your Majesty say this?" ”
I looked at the roads and houses outside, and said in a deep voice: "I have been on the throne for ten years, and I think I have done a lot for the world, but if you look at the houses in Qianshou outside, they are simply dilapidated compared to the buildings in Xianyang, and I don't know how their lives are. ”
Yu He understood, and arched his hand: "Your Majesty is too worried, the ministers have been here many times, before Your Majesty ascended the throne, the head of Qianqian here could not even get a thatched house where he could settle down, and now they are all replaced with wooden houses, and the roads are also paved with gravel, Your Majesty's work does not stop here!" ”
Li Si stroked his goatee lightly and agreed: "What Doctor Yu Shi said is good, Your Majesty has done so many things in the past ten years, forgive the ministers for being disrespectful, compared with the emperor, Your Majesty must not think about it." ”
I smiled slightly, waved my hand, and said, "It's just mediocrity." ”
The two of them didn't continue the topic, and Yu He suddenly looked ahead: "Your Majesty, two turns ahead is the Gongzi's Mansion, do you want to ......?"
Although Liss looked at me for a moment, I was keenly aware of it.
After a moment's thought, he said, "Stop here, let's walk over." ”
In the realm of internal history, the two of them didn't have to worry about my safety, so they got out of the car with me, and slowly walked to Gongzi's Mansion with Meng He and three or four forbidden soldiers.
There are not many people who come and go along the way, and this time they are in the fields tending to the crops, and most of them are children playing on the road.
After a while, a few people arrived at Gongzi's mansion.
Seeing the scene in front of me, I frowned and raised my chin: "Go and see who it is." ”
Meng He immediately raised his foot and stepped forward, and I added, "Be polite." ”
Meng He's footsteps slowed, and he took a few steps to the door, and bowed to the old man in front of the door: "Uncle, who are you?" Why worship here? ”
The old man glanced up at Meng He, immediately put the paper money in his hand on the ground, bowed down and said: "Respectful and polite, I am the old man who served Gongzi Huhai in the Gongzi's mansion. ”
Meng He arched his hand and said with a smile: "It's just a passer-by, and there are many disturbances." ”
I have heard the conversation between the two, and after Hu Hai's death, all the people in his house were sent home.
I walked forward slowly, stood still in front of the old man, smiled and said: "The old man has a heart, I am waiting for Xianyang to come, and I am also sorry after hearing about the matter of Gongzi Hu Hai, so I will come to see it when I pass by." What is the name of the old man? ”
The old man had been in the Prince's Mansion, so he could naturally see that the identity of the group was not ordinary, and replied respectfully: "You have tormented the villain." Villain name training. ”
"Oh?" I was surprised: "Could it be that my husband is good at domesticating birds and animals?" ”
The old man nodded: "It was in the Prince's Mansion that I domesticated some gadgets, and now I have returned home to raise some poultry, all thanks to Your Majesty, otherwise how could I buy such cheap cubs." ”
The people of the Qin Dynasty are good at this, most of the time they can see from the name that this person has a special appearance, such as heavy ears; Either you can see the birthplace of this person, such as Terrier Mo, Nanshi, etc.
I thought about it for a while and said politely, "Uncle, can you go to the house and see the poultry you raise?" To tell you the truth, we came out this time to see how your life is, but Your Majesty is very concerned about you. ”
Xi Xun was a little embarrassed and said, "This ...... I'm afraid there is nothing at home to entertain your guests. ”
I waved my hand: "It's okay, let's just take a look and go, just passing through here." ”
The training was no longer restrained, and he bowed down and said, "Please obey." ”
