Chapter 749 The steam locomotive has begun to run with people

Listening to the analysis of these ministers, my young master's brows became more and more frowning. Instead, the Yaoguang girl and Li Xuanba were gathered aside and whispering something, but there was no big reaction. This made me a little worried, for fear that the brother and brother would cross the mountain in anger, and were wondering if they would lead troops to help their father privately.

I came over and coughed lightly. "Madam, what are you discussing?"

"Husband? It's nothing. Just discuss with Xuanba what kind of strategy to win Jinyang in the fastest time." After the Yaoguang girl turned around and smiled at me, she pointed at the Jinyang position on the sand table and said.

This young master couldn't help but be stunned and didn't understand Yao Guang's meaning at all.

When the girl Yaoguang saw my expression, she couldn't help but smile and said confidently. "Husband, in this situation, my father is afraid that he will not be able to withstand it. At that time, since you want to unify the world, then the land of Shanxi must be necessary. With the land of Shanxi, you can attack Li Mi in the north, Liang Shidu and Liu Wuzhou, Wang Shichong in the south, and Dou Jiande in the east according to the trend of the Taihang Mountains..."

"...Madam." I looked at the girl Yaoguang, both moved and felt distressed, for fear that this girl would suppress her inner sadness and think about me here.

"Husband, isn't there a complete solution for the arrangements around my father?" Yaoguang said in a low voice, blinking at me cutely.

"Uh...how do you know?" This young master couldn't help rolling his eyes, and his eyes fell on Du Ruhui's guy. Du Ruhui shook his eyebrows and then shrank his neck and retracted into the crowd.

"Husband, you have done so much, but you are still hiding it from me." The girl Yaoguang's red lips were pouting high, making her look cute from other places. "Two days ago, when you were discussing things with Du Shangshu, I accidentally heard a few words, so I asked Du Shangshu, "Husband won't blame me, right?"

"Is this... you blamed you? Actually, I want to give you a surprise." I scratched my hair and said a little embarrassedly. It was both a surprise to the girl Yaoguang, and there were also concerns that too many people knew about it and leaked the news, so I never told Yaoguang.

After thinking about it, I reminded me again, "By the way, you brother and sister, don't say it out. I will use this trick when I have no choice. If your father knows it in advance, no one knows what will happen."

"Don't worry, husband, I didn't even tell this kid." The girl Yaoguang leaned into my ear and muttered in a low voice, and raised her eyebrows proudly. Her arrogant and beautiful look made people want to bite her.

"Then why is Xuanba so calm?" I glanced at Li Xuanba who was still stupid, and asked quietly in Yaoguang's ear.

"Because I told him that it's enough to listen to me, and neither dad nor brothers can do anything." Sister Yaoguang's answer touched me deeply. Just a fool here can make Li Xuanba calm down, which only shows that this guy's brain capacity is really pitifully small.

Well, this young master sent some secret whistles and internal advisers a few years ago to sneak to Duke Tang to serve as a job. You should know that all the people picked out were the most powerful, so now, even among the guards around Li Yuan, there are five of them who were sent by this young master.

As for the other brothers of the Li family, I also have my master's support. In addition, in Shanxi, I have quite a few detailed works sent by me. There are as small as an intelligence station in each county.

Because, I have long regarded Shanxi as a thing in my pocket, so I will naturally not be indifferent after Li Yuan fell down and the land of Shanxi was occupied by the heroes of the Central Plains.

These arrangements were all presided over by Du Ruhui under the instructions of this young master. Unexpectedly, the Yaoguang girl actually heard it, which was really shameful. It seems that Du Ruhui is not blamed, but this young master lacks the awareness of confidentiality. Well, I must pay attention next time.

However, with Li Yuanfang and other guards, the only one who can overheard this young master’s talk about the serious business is my wife, at most my daughter and mother.

"Your Majesty, the Xue brothers don't want to come to Chang'an, but hope to go directly to the Wei River and join the army to make a fortune and make a punishment. I don't know what you mean by your Majesty..." At this time, Du Ruhui saw that the young master's face turned and then quickly came over and asked.

"What's the crime? The two brothers in Youyan are not the final decision. If they lose it, they will be lost. I will still be able to get it back in the future." I touched my chin and said. "But, since they want to stay there, it's okay. I have issued an order to reorganize the Jianghuai Army, and three armies will be rectified at that time. Let the two brothers serve in General Qu Tu's tent. Their arrangement will be decided by General Qu Tu."

"This is a good idea. With the Xue brothers here, General Qu Tu can be more relaxed." Wei Yunqi nodded and said with satisfaction. "But Your Majesty, the most important thing now is to send officials over."

I thought about it and nodded and said, "We are here to only appoint personnel from the court, the procuratorate, and the Independent Commission Against Corruption. As for local officials, there is no need to move for the time being. After all, the Jianghuai Land and Lingnan generally take the initiative to surrender, so there is no need to make them too nervous for the time being."

"What's the situation in Lingnan now?" I asked Du Ruhui.

"The situation is quite good. Duke Feng is very involved. Now, a large number of officials have been retrained and then taken up their posts. In addition, the three systems of police, procuratorate and law are in our hands, and the people of Lingnan are relatively peaceful. In addition, the soldiers and horses in the Lingnan area have been trained almost the same. In addition to one army being sent to Jiaozhi, an army will be dispatched to station in Shu to ensure the rules for garrisoning in other places..."

"That's good. The troops stationed in other places must be strictly implemented. This is the country's major policy and cannot be ignored." I glanced at the important officials present and said solemnly.

"Don't worry, Your Majesty, I should obey it carefully." Wei Yunqi replied solemnly.

"Okay, OK, this is not a court, you all have to be polite. By the way, Shangshu Wu, how is the railway being built now?" I turned my head and asked at the warrior.

"At the end of this month, a single line can be achieved. In addition, the new steam locomotive has been tested, and it can be about 220 miles per hour, which is 60 miles higher than the previous No. 4 locomotive. In addition, its towing capacity can reach 70 tons, which is 45 tons higher than the No. 4 locomotive." The samurai reported with a blush on his face.

After hearing this news, everyone couldn't help but be shocked. The Yaoguang girl couldn't help but ask curiously. "How many buses can you drag?"

"Go back to His Highness, you can drag five buses." The warrior quickly replied.

Sister Yaoguang couldn't help but widen her eyes. "That means that she can carry more than 500 people? Husband, she is so powerful."

"Well, okay, Wuqing, when will I prepare for a test drive?" I was also quite excited. Two hundred and twenty miles per hour, that's an hour and fifty-five kilometers. Although it's not as fast as the express trains in later generations, it's much faster than the slow train. It only takes more than three hours to get from here to Yan'an.

"Your Majesty, we are preparing to test the car in half a month. Now the last paint is still on the bus carriage, and the debugging and installation of the windows have not been completed."

"Okay, by the way, I'll send someone to the newspaper to announce that from the common people, I will select 300 volunteers to test the drive." This young master rubbed his fingers happily. "In addition, there are 100 places for major trading companies. As for other names, the Qing family can choose their own people."

"Husband, how about we go and sit and taste it?" Yaoguang girl came to me and whispered, with an excited look on her face, as if she wanted to ride a carousel.

"What's the hurry? Our specially customized carriage has not been completed yet, wait." This young master lowered his voice and replied in a low voice in Yaoguang's ear.

"Our family?"

"Of course, it is a specially customized royal train, with a total of ten sections, including four guard cars, one horse shed, one kitchen, two bedrooms, one dining room, and one living room." The young master counted with his fingers.

"So many?" The Yaoguang girl suddenly had stars in her eyes. "Can she still sleep on the train?"

"Of course, sleeper cars will be promoted only after the future, steam locomotives with greater drag and stronger will appear. After all, what we need now is transportation volume and comfort ranks behind." I nodded and said.

These ministers were also muttering all the time, well, they were all a little excited. When the train truly became a practical means of transportation, it will play a powerful role in the future of the entire Chinese Empire.

In the end, I could only watch Dou Jiande's expansion and development first, but I also wrote to Li Shimin. I believe this guy should also know how difficult the situation of the old Li family is.

Half a month later, in the Chang'an Railway Station on the east side of Chang'an, there were at least thousands of people watching the fun or waiting to enjoy the steam locomotive trip. If the guards hadn't stopped him, they might have been squeezed out to the platform.

"It should be here?" The warrior wiped the smelly sweat from his forehead and looked towards the south with anticipation.

"Don't worry, there's still some time to come." I looked at the copper pot and said. Well, it's really inconvenient to have no watches in this era, but the problem is that watches cannot be made by my poor physical knowledge. Although I know the name and appearance of the escaper, I have long forgotten its principle.

Although I have described the principles I know to the skilled craftsmen, I don’t know how much effort it takes just to go from the principle to the finished product.

"There are too many people coming, right? Brother-in-law, what should I do later?" Li Xuanba couldn't help but feel shocked when he saw the crowd on the platform in the station.
