Great Tang Idyll - Chapter 1328

[Chapter 974 The platform welcomes the era]

The transportation to the capital is still the train. Due to the freight, train tickets are getting more and more expensive.

The rails are still the same as before, with two tracks and two tracks, and the steam engine-powered train has never been faster, slow, and can’t travel much in a day, at least it looks like Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan.

Hundreds of them directly packed ten carriages, and the goods they brought back also occupied the position of the passenger car. Of course, the money had to be spent, otherwise it would not be easy to record.

“We have to speed up the laying of the rails.” Xiaobei said suddenly while swaying in the train.

Liu Yan, who was escorted, was not detained anywhere else, and was still with Zhang Xiaobao and the others, but his hands were tied, Zhang Xiaobao needed to ask him carefully.

Because if he was brought back to be tried, he would not be allowed to die, let alone stand on Suzaku Street. The magistrate couldn’t let him continue, but he had to arrange a new place for him to see him. How is the ability.

At this time, Liu Yan didn’t know what his future destiny would be. Anyway, he was arrested, and the reason for being arrested was very strong. He thought that it would be a while to be at ease, so he didn’t have anything to do with Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan. Respectful look, in fact, he has never been respectful before, otherwise he would not have thought about stepping on Zhang Xiaobao’s position.

He heard Xiao Bei’s words, he laughed twice, and said to Xiao Bei: “Adding rails, do you know how much the rails cost? If you don’t fight more cannibals now and save artillery shells and bullets, it may be possible to add that much more. A railroad track. Fighting a war will cost the people and money, and what if the war is over? Can you personally go over and occupy other people’s land for farming?”

“What do you know? You can’t even come up with a plan for economic development, and you still have the face to discuss national affairs with me. , I said to increase the rails but did not say to increase according to the current line, but to increase in some stations, so that the railway resources can be used more rationally.

In theory, this railway is actually enough. It runs people and goods on the entire railway line at a speed of eight hundred miles without interruption for twelve hours. It is only a scheduling problem that makes the railway run. There is always free time.

By adding rails at the station, the loading does not need to occupy the normal road. Once the people and things are loaded, the train goes out and immediately joins the use of the main line rails.

”

Xiao Bei looked like I knew better than you, and said a lot of words to Liu Yan.

“Wouldn’t it be better if we didn’t fight?”

“Liu Yan is still talking about this issue.

He is indeed a small number of people in the anti-war faction. The reason for the anti-war faction is that if the soldiers are not used to fight, they are all invested in the infrastructure of the Tang Dynasty. Not only can Datang become more prosperous, but it can also save a lot of war materials.

Now is a critical period for the development of the domestic economy, and long-distance battles are also harmful to the entire Datang. The most important thing is not only It just costs money to fight, and also invests a lot of money to research weapons. This is wrong. Now the weapons are good enough, and others dare not fight. Why study more powerful weapons?

“You know the shit.

“Before Xiao Bei and the others said anything, a person who pushed a cart in to deliver hot water first got angry at Liu Yan.

In fact, he didn’t need to deliver water at all,

and he was not an ordinary flight attendant. He was the captain of this train. But he wanted to take a closer look at Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan, so he had to push a cart over.

He happened to hear someone saying something against the war, so he couldn’t help but scold. After scolding, he found out that this nonsense person He was actually tied, so he laughed and said: “It turns out that it was the bad guy who was caught by Xiaobao and Juanjuan, no wonder he made unkind words here.

You are finished, you are caught by them personally, still think about it?

”

“What have I got to do with you?”

I am telling the truth.

If there is no war and all resources are used to develop the Tang Dynasty, life will be better than now.

”

Liu Yan looked like a broken jar, and raised his chin, signaling everyone to look outside.

The windows of passenger cars are glass, and not every car and every train has glass windows, want to sit in such a place.

A lot of money is spent, which can be regarded as a distinction, and at the same time, it can increase the income of the railway.

Neither Zhang Xiaobao nor Wang Juan ever thought of a one-size-fits-all approach. That would be unrealistic. After all, rich people need an act to show their identity.

The windows of the train are very thick, they are also pulled up and down, and there are buckles, but there is no double-layer insulation structure. Because the speed of the car is not fast, it can be opened when the weather is not cold.

Looking at the scenery outside along the way and eating the fast food made in the train is a very good enjoyment for many people nowadays, even those who always take the train, always have to chat with others about The train thing, and the name of the place outside, and what kind of story it has.

The weather is not very cold now. At noon, it even feels sultry. The windows are opened halfway, and the wind is blowing from the outside, and the curtains of the people blowing are swinging back and forth, but no one is going to fix the curtains. It seems that feeling the wind like this is also an item of taking the train.

Seeing Liu Yan’s gesture, everyone followed him. The train had just left Luoyang and was heading westward. The place where he was repairing was also by the river, and the water of the Yellow River could be seen from here.

It was really yellow, even if he didn’t deliberately think that this river was the Yellow River, the water would not be clear, but obviously, Liu Yan didn’t want everyone to see how the water was, but the scenery on the river.

There are many boats on the Yellow River. The small boats are walking close to the shore. In the middle of the big boats, there is no one swimming in the river. Every big boat flutters a flag. The words written on it represent that it belongs to the river. any person or force.

“Have you seen it?” Liu Yan said in a timely manner: “This is the current prosperity of my Tang Dynasty. Unlike before, most of the boats on the river are fishing boats, or boats ferries to and from the two sides of the river. Fighting against those who eat more, Have you read the newspapers some time ago? I have dispatched 10,000 ships of various types from the Tang Dynasty.

10,000 ships, not ten, not 100. Do you know what the ships that go out are like? They are all big ships. , any boat can hold hundreds of people.

If you don’t send it over and put it in the current river, you don’t need those small boats to be busy, not to mention the position of the river, the speed is slow, and the goods loaded are as few as people. This is called waste, called waste of resources.

There is also a team that transports supplies. Isn’t it good to transport the materials needed in various places?

In addition to the production of the cannon, countless metals were spent.

Technology is still invested, and it is tilted towards the military. What is this called?

This is called indistinguishable priority.

Liu Yan became more and more excited as he spoke .

After speaking, he sighed up to the sky, as if everyone was drunk and I was awake alone.

Zhang Xiaobao looked at the scene on the river outside and nodded with satisfaction: “The development is really good, as a big river for water transportation.”

The renovation and maintenance of the Yellow River must be further strengthened, and I don’t want to see it lose its role in water transportation.

”

Wang Juan nodded. She knew exactly what Zhang Xiaobao was talking about. At that time, the Yellow River always stopped flowing. Some places suffered from heavy rain, and some places could walk in the middle of the river. The dry season and flood season were different. So there are rules, and the result is that I want to have no river, no, but I want to make good use of it, no.

The train conductor sighed: “It’s good.

Thinking back to the past, I would never dream of thinking that there will be a day now, who can dream that we will go out without having to walk with dry food or hire a donkey cart to spend a lot of money.

With such a thing called a train, a train can pull a lot of people, and it seems that the tickets are expensive.

But it saves time, it’s really good to do the math, and it’s cheaper than walking with dry food. The most important thing is safety, which is much more reassuring than doing it yourself and going to the wilderness at night.

It means everyone is having a good time.

I’ve been a driver for three years, and I’ve never seen a person who is not fully clothed. Because there is no escape from the famine, the government has arranged it a long time ago.

On this day, every day before I go to bed, I have to think about it and be beautiful in my heart for a while.

”

Look at that boat, that one, with the green flag, someone is flying a kite, I’m still a child, but don’t be pulled down by the kite, I can’t save it in time.”

”

Xiao Bei also looked at it, and suddenly pointed to the boat on the river. A child was standing on the deck flying a kite. There was smoke coming from other places. It was probably not a fire, but someone was eating barbecue. Life was good.

When the two of them spoke, Liu Yan was dissatisfied, snorted, and said, “What I said is that if you don’t fight and put all your money here, the life of the common people will be better than now. I heard that the Ministry of Industry will do it again. Good things, in addition to being used by officials in the capital, are used by the army of the Tang Dynasty. Those are better than steam engines, why not use them on merchant ships?”

“Don’t talk nonsense if you don’t understand, you think your brother and sister want to fight. , is it okay not to hit?” Xiao Hai, who has always been reluctant to talk, finally couldn’t help but speak out.

“You only know that there is a new machine, so do you know what the new machine is used for? It’s oil, it’s made from oil, and there’s a lot of oil to eat. If you don’t beat it, they can send it to us? Look at the oil in my Datang, it’s not easy to dig.

My brother and sister also said that the quality of the oil in Datang is worse than that from Duo Cannibal. Also, the war is also to divert domestic conflicts. You only see Datang’s oil. You are a hidden danger, under the slogan of economic development, doing dirty things, hum!”

“Isn’t the new thing burning coal?” Liu Yan really didn’t know The secret of the Ministry of Industry, he asked suspiciously, his voice was much lower, and he lacked confidence.

“Burn coal? Apart from steam engine burning coal, what else can use coal? Coal has little effect.” Xiaohai gave Liu Yan a disdainful look.

Zhang Xiaobao coughed and said, “Xiaohai, in fact, this coal can really be used in other machines. First, the coal must be processed, and we will wait for the technology of Datang to come up. You will see it, yes.”

“Oh .

, it can be used.” Xiao Hai looked a little embarrassed, just finished his lesson, only to realize that the lesson was wrong.

Zhang Xiaobao said to Liu Yan again: “Your grade is not enough, so I won’t explain many things to you, and there is no need for that. You only need to know that Juanjuan and I are thinking more long-term than you. The national economic development is In a game of chess, it was us who played, and there was no chance to return the chess. What Juanjuan and I needed was support and trust, not a stab in the back.

We came back in a hurry because there were places like you. Officer, compared to external wars, you are what worries us the most. We never thought we would lose the war, but there will be major problems in local people’s livelihood at home.

This is, after all, a society governed by individuals. The most frustrating thing is that the order from the top does not work. The local officials are using their own calculus to find various excuses to harm the people. In the end, even killing him is useless. , so, your mind is the most hateful.

”

Many things can’t be avoided at all, and we can only do everything possible to minimize losses. Officials’ salaries should be raised, and inspectors should be dispatched constantly. If one is caught, one is one.

“Yes.

The most hateful, everyone who is caught by Xiaobao and Juanjuan is hateful.

“The train conductor said in agreement.

To him, it doesn’t matter what mistakes the officials arrested in front of him made, but who arrested him, how can Xiaobao and Cuckoo still arrest the wrong person? After a

pause, the conductor said again. He said, “You official, don’t pretend to understand.

Xiaobao and Cuckoo are much better than you, and you are much older than them.

Why wasn’t you leading the way in improving people’s lives?

Do you think the current weapon is easy to use, what if someone else makes it too?

I can’t talk to you, so don’t be unconvinced.

Having

taught Liu Yan a lesson, the conductor who has seen Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan leave happily, and he has people in other carriages to take care of.

Other carriages are not like this, they are full of people, even the aisles. There were also a lot of people crowded, and some people got under the seat.

When it was time to eat, the whole car was full of various smells. But even so, there were still many people on the train, compared to walking by themselves. , From Luoyang to the capital, it is still fast to take the train. It takes a day to get there, and it takes a month to walk.

The captain in charge of a train is very satisfied with his work. People who run around every day can see people from all over the world, Hearing them talk about things in various places, I have gained a lot of knowledge.

The most important thing is that I still have a little power, and I can arrange a good seat for acquaintances, even when there is no need to buy tickets, when the space is empty. The sale of the goods on the ground is also an extra income. The

conductor thinks like this, the more he thinks about it, the happier he is, he hums a tune that has changed the key many times, pushes his waterwheel, and plans to personally today Serve another passenger.

He didn’t know that his behavior was the helpless place for Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan.

Normally speaking, you shouldn’t do this like him, but if you want to control it, you can’t control it. Every person in society will find a way to make the best use of their power, even if it’s just a gatekeeper.

Not to mention officials, but officials are more harmful than a car captain.

After two meals in the car, the train finally swayed to the capital in the middle of the night. It could have been faster, but other cars stepped in, and the time was wasted by stopping and waiting.

The railway station in Beijing is not in the main area of the capital. There are six lanes in total, four lanes are for loading and unloading goods, and two lanes are used by people.

The reason why the station is not placed in the innermost place is that there are too many goods, which need to be unloaded and transported to other places. Horses and carts run around and put them in the main place, either hitting people or being hit by pedestrians. wasting time.

Like the trains of Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan, the current station is brightly lit. There are people working and people waiting to go out. They will care whether it is day or night.

Almost everyone waiting to take the train prepares one or several large packages containing food. After all, the food on the train is too expensive, or the things to be brought to other places, one by one speaking in different accents. There is chatting, and the station is very lively.

The difference is that there are no thieves here. To be precise, the profession of thieves is about to become extinct in Datang. Those who are caught for theft and robbery will not be chopped or beaten, but will be sent directly to the mining area to work.

When the theft is discovered, there are no people who directly pull out the knife, otherwise they will be beaten to death. Even if they survive, they will be beaten when they are sent to the government until they are beaten.

I feel that this new law is very inhumane, but the effect is very good. After all, not everyone has nothing to do, and they only yearn for the profession of thieves and robbers. If a group of people are caught, there will be fewer thieves on the market.

The people who were waiting for the bus at the Jingcheng station today found that the situation was different. The number of security personnel around them had increased significantly, and they could even see the army of the capital appearing, in groups of several, patrolling back and forth.

Seeing that in the middle of the night, there was a sound of horses’ hooves, rumbling like a train. With the help of the lights, looking up, the literate people immediately knew which team was coming.

“Fan subway cavalry camp? Who do you want to arrest? Came by train?” A man with a large package saw the flags displayed by the cavalry team, and said to a nice person next to him who was chatting just now. It can be seen that, He has the meaning of showing off, he knows the Fan Metro Riding Camp.

The person who listened to him was also very cooperative, looking at the approaching team curiously, and asked, “This is the legendary iron cavalry battalion?

” Bao gave the betrothal gift to the cuckoo. There are eight battalions in total, with a total of 8,000. Each of them can fight well. One person can be found at random, and he has at least three lives in his hands. Usually, he always rotates to the northeast of the grassland. Fighting with the local people is to prevent them from giving birth.

You can’t easily see them in the capital, and even if you see them, you can’t recognize them. They don’t usually carry flags, and their clothes are not marked. But, what I said is but Once they put on the marked clothes and hoisted the flag of the iron cavalry camp. Something must happen.”

“Oh, oh, so that’s the case, brother, you know a lot.” The obedient person said enviously, He really didn’t know, he was not from the capital, he came to the capital to send his children to participate in the imperial examinations next spring, and if the children stayed, he had to go back.

By the way, take some special products that were transported to the capital from other places, and go to your hometown to show the villagers.

“I’m from the capital. My ancestors have lived in the capital for three generations. I’m going to the West Lake too, and I’m going to visit a relative. It’s just right. I’ll talk to you on the way.”

“That’s great, brother, look, come again. A group of people with words on their chests, who is it?”

“Ah? There are words. I see, I am a god, Jin Wuwei? Brother, that’s Jin Wuwei, who protects the emperor, wrong, wrong before. Iron Cavalry The camp is not here to arrest people, it should be here to pick them up.” The man was so surprised that his voice trembled.

The other person also opened his mouth, swallowed after a while, and asked, “Who to pick up? The emperor is here?”

“Absolutely, otherwise what will Jin Wuwei come out for? Pick up…the seedling team? I know who to pick up, did you read the newspaper a few days ago? It said that Xiaobao and Juanjuan are back, and I guess they will be in the capital today. , Your Majesty may be in a hurry, so come here in person, in the middle of the night, when I come back, I will send a seventh-rank official to greet me.”

“Brother, we can’t count on it, you can tell me that I can see it in person. Look at Xiaobao and Cuckoo? I’ve never seen a real person, I saw your Majesty in the movie, it would be great if Xiaobao and Cuckoo were also filmed.”

“We have to see which lane to enter, there are two in total, good luck. If you talk about it, maybe you can really take a look from afar. You have to stay far away, but if you get too close, the station is crowded with people. If anyone has bad intentions and hurts Xiaobao and Juanjuan, it will be bad.”

“I know, you let me I won’t go if we get closer.”

Li Longji really came, he was idle and had nothing to do, just got the news that Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan were coming, and when he thought that he couldn’t sleep, he asked Gao Lishi to organize People, went to the train station to greet them together, asked about the situation outside, and at the same time showed that they attached great importance to Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan.

As a result, as soon as he came out, other officials also got the news. Whether it was sleeping or doing other things, they got up one by one, got dressed, and came to the station. The emperor paid attention to it, and who dared to stay at home.

Of course, they were all officials of the fifth rank and above, and they all wanted to see what happened to Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan, who had been running outside for a long time.

The benefits of the war have already been reflected. The first is the slaves. Before the war is over, more than 160,000 slaves have been sent to various dangerous mining areas.

Then there are the meat and skins of various animals. The meat is salty, very salty and very salty. Usually no one likes to eat it, but it was hunted from a distant place. It tastes different. The first batch has been shipped to the capital. , and also points for each family.

In fact, those who are qualified to participate in the conference have deeply felt the speed of recent domestic economic development, especially the statistical data obtained last month. In many places, people who participated in labor training in the early stage have begun to play a role.

The work efficiency is obviously different from before. In some places, it has even doubled, and the grain output has also increased. The data of the autumn harvest is there.

Not to mention the distance, only the capital city. If you go to the nearby workshops, wharfs, and stations, it is a busy scene, and you can hardly see idlers.

Originally, I thought that the domestic economy would stagnate or reverse temporarily during the war, but I did not expect that when the war was fought, the domestic economy would instead increase by a larger margin, which was different from the previous war.

It seems that it should consume domestic resources, but the result is to increase domestic production capacity. It is amazing. As Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan said, active and controlled wars can promote domestic economic prosperity. In the process of war , not only consumes materials, but also creates new jobs and accelerates the transformation of production technology into productivity.

That’s right, just like what they said, the domestic production efficiency was really low before, and it was not fully developed. Only when there is consumption can there be production, and when there is production, it will force the active people to look for technology.

“It looks very simple, doesn’t it?” Li Longji also told the people next to him when he was waiting for the train to arrive.

Standing next to him was Yu Wenrong, who didn’t go home tonight, but stayed in the middle school night.

We were together when we came out.

Yu Wenrong pondered for a while and shook his head: “It’s not easy, the timing is really good, just as there is a fight over there, the national policy is passed in the country, and the twelve articles are issued too early. It doesn’t show any effect, it is too late. It will be chaotic. It will use war to drive demand and transfer new contradictions that have arisen in the process of domestic economic development.

If Xiaobao has not brought it up, let me think, I can’t think of it anyway. Now all industries in Datang It’s like being sorted out. As long as they want to do something, everyone has something to do. It’s easier for local officials to manage the place. As long as they don’t get fooled, they can wait for this year’s fiscal year if they deal with it according to normal economic development. The income has increased.

At the same time, I joined the army to serve as a conscript for a period of time, and there are fewer idlers in the usual life. With the promotion of your film, Your Majesty, the people’s hearts are more stable.”

Li Longji listened, his eyes narrowed with a smile. , knowing that the treasury will be fuller this year.

At that time, it can be used for local infrastructure construction, road construction, bridge construction, etc., and then subsidize part of it for medical care and part for education. Who dares to say that he is not Mingjun?

Has anyone in the past dynasties made this step?

Have it?

The more he thought about Li Longji, the happier he became, and he asked Yu Wenrong, “What else should we do now?

” Other colleagues have discussed this matter, and now the most dangerous thing is not the corruption of officials, but for the sake of political achievements, without considering the local situation, the project is

committed. On the contrary, the unreasonable projects use up the money, and the people suffer in vain. It is not only the money of the court and the money of the people that is lost, but the people’s hearts and minds. The people have been harassed a few times, and the government will try to organize them to do things in the future. But they will never believe it again.

There is another telegram that Xiaobao sent back when he was in Hongnong. Liu Yan is eager to express himself and make achievements. He even dared to overthrow Xiaobao’s plan for the local area. Isn’t this crazy?

Since some people want to overturn Xiaobao’s plan, let alone other officials. Therefore, Chen and other colleagues feel that the evaluation rules should be re-established, not to say how much a local official has increased in a local’s finances, Or how fast the currency circulates.

It should be, when you were a local official, how much the various local precious resources were used, how much the income of the people increased, how many people did not find a job, just want to get a data Come to prove that your grades are good, we don’t agree.”

Yu Wenrong said a lot, he knew it was his business, if he waited for Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan to mention it, he would be dereliction of duty. Is all the rest left to the two of them?

Then what do you want to do with this Chinese book order?

Li Longji was satisfied with Yu Wenrong’s answer and said, “A new era has begun, and new problems will arise in the new era. You really have to think about it carefully, and take care of the people who are in charge, and the world will be at peace.”

“Your Majesty .

What I have said is very much. In normal times, I have to study a lot, and I often analyze with my colleagues. If the minister sat in this position ten years ago, and the current development of the Tang Dynasty suddenly appeared, the minister would directly resign, and the minister did not understand the industry. and policy is so complicated.

Such as land, the minister will think about making some changes, allowing those who escaped from the military to re-naturalize, giving them land to cultivate, and reducing or exempting the rent of newly opened land.

Of course, now let the minister say that, the minister will not solve the land issue so solely, but start from other aspects at the same time, just like the twelve national policies that Xiaobao brought out.

It means that Chen’s thinking has changed, and at the same time, the thinking of people in various industries has also changed. If you can’t keep up with the speed of this change and prepare in advance, once a problem occurs, it will be difficult to solve it.

Therefore, the new era is good, but the problems we face are also more complicated. We, officials, need to study hard in order to further improve our ability and level.

Yu Wenrong analyzed the current situation again, with a grim expression on his face.

Li Longji is no longer smiling. It is also clear that the speed of Datang’s development is too fast, especially when some technologies have been transformed into When it comes to civilian use, various problems will arise, and sometimes you will wake up suddenly when you sleep, thinking it is a dream.

Gao Lishi suddenly made a sound, breaking the heavy atmosphere at the moment: “Your Majesty, don’t worry too much, Xiaobao. And cuckoo cuckoo age is not too old.

”

Yes, what Lux said is right, and Xiaobao and Juanjuan are still there. I found that they are not tired, they can be said to be able to do it with ease, every step has been calculated, what should I arrange for them to do this time?”

”

Li Longji was relieved, but he began to worry about setting a position for Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan.

Not only him, but also the officials in the entire court.

When there was silence, there was the roar of a train in the distance.
