Li Yuanxing returned to Chang'an. According to the rules, he needed to go to the palace first to report what happened in Luoyang.
On behalf of the emperor, the King of Qin was touring the world, and when he returned to the city, he had to go due south.
Li Yuanxing was startled by the whistle and suddenly woke up from his half-dream. He sat up suddenly and said, "Train, this is impossible!"
"Your Highness, I have inquired about it. It is a fire-eating dragon car. The people around there are all preparing to take the car to the Chamber of Commerce to wait. Speaking of that swallow..." Lu Maofeng was still preparing to show off the introduction, and Li Yuanxing gave it a try.
He pushed him away and said, "Shut up, I know what that is!"
Li Yuanxing had to cross a horse. It was only half a mile from outside the city gate to the train station, and Li Yuanxing was only two miles away from Mingde Gate. He got on the horse and arrived there in a blink of an eye.
What is the privileged class?
Li Yuanxing was a privilege in the Tang Dynasty. Because of Li Yuanxing's appearance, the VIP channel was opened directly, and the security personnel here directly protected Li Yuanxing to the front of the car.
After circling the car, Li Yuanxing made a gesture: "I guess there are four cylinders, multiple expansion types!"
"Your Highness is brilliant!" Ma Yuan quickly got out of the car.
"Well done. I originally planned to let you start with the reciprocating model first, but I actually made a higher level one. Not bad, not bad!" Li Yuanxing would never ask who took his model and who gave the order.
The train was made, and who mobilized Yaozhou's refined steel inventory.
Because Li Yuanxing is the king of Qin, he will not ask these things.
If I had to ask, I wouldn't ask Ma Yuan.
Ma Yuan was able to make this locomotive, which is a huge credit. Therefore, I can only praise him.
"Very good, I will only say two sentences. Remember it. The first sentence is that you have to study the steam engine thoroughly by yourself and make it better and better. The second sentence is that those who participated in the production..." Li Yuanxing said this and turned around.
Looking at the old wolf who followed him, the old wolf understood and said: "Your Highness, put it down. The people involved in this matter will be investigated for three generations!"
Li Yuanxing nodded, then shook his head gently: "Enter the palace!"
Lao Lang didn't quite understand what Li Yuanxing meant by shaking his head. He only knew that Li Yuanxing agreed with the matter about the verification craftsman.
In the palace, Li Er did not greet Li Yuanxing in front of the palace this time, even though he already knew about Li Yuanxing's return. Gao Gao waited at the entrance of the palace and led Li Yuanxing to Li Er's imperial study.
Standing at the door of the imperial study, Li Yuanxing looked around: "Today, here..." Li Yuanxing couldn't explain, he just felt a little strange, it seemed because it was deserted, there were not many people. The one closest to the imperial study was used for officials waiting to rest.
The room was completely empty, not even a eunuch.
In front of the study, there were only two Imperial Guards guarding the door.
"Your Highness, your Majesty has decreed that today you are prohibited from walking a hundred steps around the study. You will not look at your watch or see any officials today!" Eunuch Gao whispered from the side.
Li Yuanxing nodded, pushed the door open and entered the study. After Li Yuanxing entered the study, the two Imperial Guards guarding the door also walked aside, exactly a hundred steps away from the study door.
In the study, Li Er did not sit behind the desk. Instead, he set up a tea room in front of the study and was playing with the tea sets there.
"Tea, you can calm down." After Li Er said this, he raised the pot high in his hand, poured two cups of tea, and pushed one cup to the opposite side of the sea of tea.
Li Yuanxing sat down and picked up the tea cup: "Brother Emperor!"
"Here's to the prosperous Tang Dynasty!" Li Er responded and poured the tea in his hand into his mouth.
Putting down the tea cup, Li Er said: "Let's talk about the natural disaster first. Wulang did three good things and three bad things. Talking about the three good things, the first good thing is the military power that you, Wulang, made my brother and the entire Tang Dynasty re-recognize. The army is not only on the battlefield.
, Wulang, I fully support your idea of a professional soldier at this time."
"The only problem with professional soldiers is population. If there are more soldiers, there will be fewer peasant associations and fewer construction sites!"
"Of course!" Li Er agreed with Li Yuanxing's statement and continued: "The second best thing is kindness. The people are grateful to the court. This is a great thing. The third best thing is that you finally acted decisively. In the past, Wu Lang was too soft-hearted.
Although it’s good this time, I’m still soft-hearted!”
Li Yuanxing smiled awkwardly, feeling soft-hearted!
I am still soft-hearted. I just kill someone without any trial or questioning. This is called soft-hearted.
Li Er said: "During extraordinary times, I have heard about the situation at that time, and the rumors among the people are even more amazing. Just one sentence, you had a good chance to kill, but you didn't kill enough people. The rest is up to you.
Don’t worry about it, it’s a good thing for me to help you deal with the aftermath, as it can draw out more people with disloyal intentions!”
Li Yuanxing opened his mouth and wanted to persuade.
Li Eryi waved his hand: "There is no need to persuade Brother Wei, Brother Wei knows what you want to say. Brother Wei is just telling you that killing is the law of the country and the way of heaven, and not killing is mercy and grace. You are still far from it!"
Li Yuanxing shrugged his shoulders: "Fortunately, I have my brother in charge of everything!"
Good thing, it's good to have the emperor brother for everything. Li Yuanxing's flattery has reached the extreme. Li Er was stunned for a moment, and his original serious expression smiled unnaturally, and immediately returned to seriousness.
"Well, brother, let me remind you of the three bad things. You have to learn the way of being a politician. You have to learn the way of being an official. The way of being a king, you are too thin-skinned!"
Li Yuanxing touched his face, smiled and shook his head: "I..."
"The review you wrote is good, very good. But it would be better if you should cry!"
Suddenly, Li Yuanxing understood why Li Er wanted this place to be closed off. Some words could be said behind closed doors, but they must not be heard by anyone, even the most trusted and closest people.
Li Yuanxing smiled: "Brother Emperor, this crying spirit was left to Brother Emperor by my brother!"
Li Er was stunned for a moment, pointed at Li Yuanxing and cursed with a smile: "quibble!" and then smiled heartily.
The serious atmosphere faded a lot because of this laughter, but Li Yuanxing knew that the next step was business.
"One million jins of fine steel! You still owe me 10,000 jins of fine steel!" Li Er said with a smile. Now Li Er doesn't take 10,000 jins of fine steel seriously. In the amount of one million jins,
Yes, ten thousand kilograms is really too little.
"Ming Yue was telling Brother Wei that when he went to Hangzhou one day, Brother Wei didn't believe it. Now that Brother Wei believes it, you have also seen the car. Tell Brother Wei, when will this kind of road be spread all over the Tang Dynasty!"
This is what Li Er really wants to talk about, the real national event.
For the first time, Li Er felt the charm of the road. What did a very fast road mean? For Li Er, who had great talents and strategies, this was the territory, and wherever he went along the road, he was the land of the Tang Dynasty.
Li Yuanxing did not answer immediately, but he had a different idea.
Li Er stood up and took several seals from the table and threw them in front of Li Yuanxing: "The Western Turks didn't even mention a single word about the marriage. They declared themselves vassal. Yiwu not only declared himself vassal, but also asked me to garrison troops in the Tang Dynasty!"
"Garrison!" Li Yuanxing exclaimed.
What does garrisoning mean? In the era of the Tang Dynasty, garrisoning meant handing over one's country's sovereignty.
Li Er smiled, very coldly.
"Wulang, tell me brother, when can you build the railway to Liaocheng?"
Li Yuanxing understood that Li Er wanted to include the entire Liaodong on the map of the Tang Dynasty, and his true ambition began to show.
"Brother Imperial, I have a seal!"
"Stop talking nonsense and answer the question that Brother Wei just asked directly!"
"Brother Emperor, Mingyue is too anxious. Brother Zai Chen's original idea was to give Ma Yuan a theory and let him study the steam engine and then train an excellent team of craftsmen. The real focus is still on agriculture and industry, and only large
Tang Dynasty can only be considered truly wealthy if he can't finish all his food."
Li Yuanxing is ready to explain this step-by-step idea.
Li Eryi waved his hand: "I don't want to listen. I'm just asking when the railway can be built to Liaocheng and to Yizhou!"
"Not that much steel?" Li Yuanxing had no choice but to raise difficulties.
"No matter what, when can we repair to Liaocheng?" Li Er asked again.
Li Yuanxing was convinced, this is the emperor, he can really be unreasonable.
While Li Yuanxing was thinking, Li Er smiled: "Wu Lang, brother, let me tell you something, when there is one thing that can tie everyone up, no one will bother to trouble our brothers, and there will be internal fighting among the ministers.
It will be very little. Brother Wei believes that if you give you three years, you can fill all the granaries of the Tang Dynasty, and you can make the Tang Dynasty have so much grain that you don’t know how to preserve it. But, have you thought about it more deeply?
?”
Li Yuanxing seemed to understand: "Food and clothing, thoughts of sexual desire!"
"Wulang, you understand why my brother Jianchang and my third brother Yuanji are not suitable to be emperors." Li Er said a very taboo topic. Li Yuanxing could fight with Li Er, but he did not dare to take up this topic.
"Let them starve." Li Er said coldly.
"I understand, but brother, the locust plague will definitely happen next year. Even if we build water power now, we can't catch up. The Guanzhong area will be alleviated at most, but Hebei Province will definitely be the hardest hit area. Can we survive the locust plague first?"
Li Yuanxing was discussing, and he already agreed with Li Er's idea.
"No, the locust plague suddenly appeared, and evil came to the world!" Li Er once again showed his ambition as a great emperor.
Li Yuanxing nodded heavily: "Well, I have three requests. First, Luoyang must have enough food reserves. Second, for steel training, I must be selectively released. Otherwise, Yaozhou will be impossible.
Complete the construction of the railway to Liaodong. And thirdly, why should we build Liaocheng first? Is there no other option?"
Having said this, Li Er was also happy.
Emperor Li Shimin of the Tang Dynasty and Li Yuanxing, King of Qin of the Tang Dynasty, looked at each other and smiled, and said at the same time: "Let them quarrel!"
That's right, we just want them to quarrel. If there is no internal fighting in Tianying Pavilion, then they will fight against Emperor Li Er of the Tang Dynasty, and they will also fight against Li Yuanxing, King of Qin of the Tang Dynasty. The choice of route will be a new one.
The steel mill's choice is enough for them to fight for!
At this moment, Li Yuanxing suddenly wondered, does this girl Wu Zhao also have the same profound thoughts as Li Er? (To be continued. Please search Piao Tian Literature, the novel is better and updated faster!)
