Chapter nine hundred and eighty: Bridge repair and digging
Qin Feng has no resistance to using the royal name to make money. He has not yet formed any clear concepts about these, or Princess Zhaohua Min Ruoxi will be a little unhappy, but as long as you think about the mouse that can run in the treasury, this little thought will probably be gone. No matter whether it is a black cat or a white cat, the one who catches a mouse is a good cat. Qin Feng doesn't mind trying anything whenever he can increase tax revenue with a legitimate status. Moreover, it seems that this is a business without foundation. If you can exchange for money with a name, that is not something that ordinary people can do, right?
As soon as he thought about this, he became a little complacent. He thought to himself whether he had left some ink treasures in this Yanshan Military Village or a poem to express his intention of being ambitious at the time, so that Jin Jingnan could use these and hype them up, and also sell the tickets a little higher. But thinking about the ink in his stomach was really limited, and his hand was also very shabby. He was always ridiculed by Princess Zhaohua. If he really hung it here, it would really damage the image of His Majesty the Emperor, and he couldn't help but give up again. This idea could not be done.
Jin Jingnan was very happy because he received Qin Feng's approval. The development of Deng County in Feng County really made him feel a headache. This time, with this reason, he was promising. At that time, while guiding Qin Feng to visit the Yanshan Military Village, he was talking with snatching how to arrange it and how to design it. Qin Feng must have planned for a long time, not a temporary uprising. Even if he didn't come this time, he would start working. As for whether he would make him unhappy and the queen and cause trouble for him, it seems that he didn't care at all. At that time, he could not stop it. The local people were benefiting, and the county magistrate was in trouble.
Qin Feng admired this kind of behavior that he ignored himself. He was always interested in his own honor and disgrace, and was always thinking about the people. But this is also a double-edged sword. If he couldn't use it well, it might hurt others and himself. He now understood why Wang Hou said at that time that he would protect this person in the future.
As the Minister of Personnel, Wang Hou had a deep understanding of these important officials of the Ming Dynasty. In comparison, he was not as good as he could.
"Mr. Jin, you might as well set up an inn in the barracks in this military village, and it states that a certain house was lived by His Majesty, a certain house was lived by Wang Shangshu, and a certain house was lived by Zhang. It is now open to the public. Of course, the price is a bit abnormal, and maybe it can still make a fortune." The kitten, who had been cultivating behind Qin Feng, suddenly spoke.
He was originally with a hint of sarcastic tone, but Jin Jingnan was stunned for a while after hearing this. After a while, he slapped his thighs, "Well, why didn't I think of this? The barracks that Your Majesty has lived in and the beds that he slept in, don't even have a hundred taels of silver, don't want to move in! Your Majesty, can I do this?"
Jin Jingnan's reaction was beyond the expectations of the kitten. He stared at Jin Jingnan for a while and couldn't help laughing. This guy was so obsessed with money and couldn't even hear the slander.
Qin Feng coughed dryly, "Yes, OK."
"Your Majesty is indeed unparalleled in saints!" Jin Jingnan was very excited.
Qin Feng snorted in his heart, if I don’t care, will he be the king of Jie and Zhou? "But the places where the queen has been stationed before, such as Madian Village, are not allowed to do this. Otherwise, the queen will send someone to cause trouble for you, I will not be able to control it."
After hearing Qin Feng's threat, Jin Jingnan nodded repeatedly: "That's that, no matter how brave I am, I will never dare to do such a thing."
"That's good." Qin Feng said in his heart. It doesn't matter if he has lived in a barracks and beds he has slept with to make money in absent-minded. But if Min Ruoxi knew that she also had this treatment, she would be afraid that she would turn against her face immediately.
"With an inn, I naturally have a restaurant. Well, I can't eat here without getting enough fine stews. Your Majesty was carrying the army at that time, so I would make big pot rice and big pot dishes. Those who are willing to spend a hundred taels of silver to get rid of the dragon's aura naturally don't care about spending some silver to taste what Your Majesty had eaten back then. It was so wonderful, so wine was naturally needed, but if you want to get some strong wine, your Majesty hero, drinking is naturally the strongest."
Listening to Jin Jingnan muttering to himself, Qin Feng was amused and crying. Back then, they were in Yanshan, and even eating was a problem and they could drink. In other words, after arriving in Taiping City, their lives were getting better day by day. I really didn’t have to worry about eating and drinking, which was the matter of Shayang County’s return to his command.
However, this Yanshan did leave too many memories of him.
When they were broken into pieces from the Luoying Mountains, they sneaked all the way through Qin and gathered again in Yanshan. At that time, they were really poor and had more than 600 bachelors, and they had nothing to do. Taking the sky as the quilt and the ground as the bed, they took root on Yanshan. Later, with Wang Hou's joining, life was better. Later, Zou Ming and the others joined in, and they began to march into the depths of the mountains to find a place where they could take root. Finally, they arrived at the current Taiping City.
Yanshan is indeed something that cannot be forgotten or will not be forgotten.
Although I can't see much of the situation of that year now, after the establishment of the Ming Dynasty, this place became a border line. The Yanshan Military Village was built, submerging everything that was originally under the magnificent military village. The path of the past was now a thoroughfare, and the dense forests have been cut down, and everything is no longer what I remember.
He sighed slightly, "It's all you want here. It's always good to make money. Now the country needs money, and it needs a lot of money."
Feeling Qin Feng's emotional changes, Jin Jingnan was stunned for a moment and quickly agreed. This time, His descendant inspected Taiping County. Not to mention anything else, this one alone had already made a profit, and he was naturally very happy.
From Yanshan to Taiping City, it is naturally no longer the simpler road it used to be. Although it was very good before, it is completely different from now on.
Because with the development of Taiping City and Daye City, more and more steel, weapons and other goods have to come out along this road. The road in the past has been overwhelmed and has been continuously widening and strengthening over the years. Now, it can accommodate two chariots in parallel. After compacting the entire road with soil, it is first paved with cinders dragged from the Daye Iron Factory, compacted layer by layer, and then embedded pieces of stone slabs on it. Now this road is extremely solid. What is even more jaw-dropping is that the blackboards on this road all use a kind of white granite, a specialty of the mountain. The white road is like a giant dragon, winding inward in the green mountains, which itself is a beautiful scenery.
The horse's hooves hit the white stone slabs, making a crisp sound. From time to time, you can see the fields of fields that the people have cultivated from the roadside. Some extend from the foot of the mountain to the terraces on the mountain, while others extend from the outside to invisible places in the valley.
Although Taiping County is a major military and industrial center, its food is self-sufficient. When the Taiping Army was here, it mobilized refugees who entered the mountains with them to reclaim fields and build reservoirs and ditches. Now the entire Taiping County is a real paradise that is not afraid of floods or droughts.
"Your Majesty, Taiping County has been planning to build a rail cart connecting from Daye City to Feng County." Jin Jingnan Road: "If it can be completed, it will be convenient for both the transportation of steel, weapons and goods, and it will also solve the bottleneck problem of the development of the two most important cities in Taiping County. Now, transporting things from Daye City and Taiping City to the outside world depends entirely on horse and ox carts. Compared with rail carts, it is really time-consuming and labor-intensive."
"It is not easy to build such a rail car that can transport cargoes in the mountains." Qin Feng's eyes narrowed, "The road situation is too complicated. Not to mention technical issues, the construction cost alone is probably an astronomical figure, which is completely incomparable to the current Shafeng Line."
"It is precisely because of this that this matter has been stuck on the plan, but I have always felt that this can be achieved. First of all, we have already had such a path, and your Majesty, we can borrow this path."
"How do you borrow such a winding road?" Qin Feng said No. 1.
"Along this road, we will build a bridge wherever we need to turn and connect it." Jin Jingnan's eyes flashed.
"Build a bridge?" Qin Feng laughed and said, "Then the cost of building this building is high, and it is not possible to build bridges in some places."
While speaking, they had already reached a place. Qin Feng pointed below. It was a very deep valley, but the road was halfway up the mountain. "If I wanted to build a bridge, how could I build such a high column? I'm afraid I can't stand firm when I get it out? If it's just people walking, it's fine, but how can I get a heavy-loaded railcar?"
"Where we can't build a bridge, we will dig holes." Jin Jingnan Road.
"Dig a hole? The hole passing through this mountain?" Qin Feng felt it was a little incredible.
"Yes, Your Majesty, it's just digging holes. In fact, I have recruited many experts to dig holes and let them start experimenting. After digging out a piece, we will use steel and giant wood to support it. This work has actually been done for almost a year. Now, the first hole is about to be dug through."
"It's almost a year? So, when I first proposed building a rail car, you were already thinking about how to build a track?" Qin Feng looked at Jin Jingnan in surprise.
"Your Majesty, that's right. When you inspected the iron plant and said that this rail car could be of great use, I also thought that since it can be built outside, of course it can be built here. However, the terrain here is too complicated, and building bridges and digging holes is probably essential. So I started the experiment first. Now it seems that it works completely." Jin Jingnan Road.
"I'm afraid it's a big danger to dig a hole like this?"
"It's not small." Jin Jingnan nodded: "But these experts I have found are all those who dig graves. In the past, they all committed a lot of evil. Now they are also giving them a chance to atone for their sins. Once they have figured out a standard way, they can also keep their names in history. What's more, I promised them that once they succeed, they will not only clear their past, but also make them masters and officials."
"A lot of people died, right?"
Jin Jingnan hesitated for a moment, "Yes, many people died in this process, but the more they went on, the fewer and fewer casualties. In the past month, the discipline of zero casualties has been maintained. The standards for how to construct in this cave have been sorted out one by one. I believe that the future casualties will be controlled within an acceptable range."
Qin Feng stared at Jin Jingnan, and he felt a little embarrassed when he looked at him.
"Your Majesty, those people are the only ones who are dead." He said quietly.
"I'm not talking about this." Qin Feng smiled, "If you want to do something, there will be immortals. Once we fight, how many heroes will die in the battlefield."
"Your Majesty is right. But I have been doing this quietly and dare not speak out because I am worried that someone will talk about it!" Jin Jingnan let out a long sigh. His Majesty did not blame him, and a big stone fell in his heart.
