Today was a big day. Yun Ye got up very early and met his second son Yun Huan, whom he had not seen for a long time, in the front hall. Compared with three years ago, the child had become darker and stronger. He saw the child greeting him with a smile.
, Yun Ye stepped forward and patted his son's strong shoulder, full of emotion,
It took three years to build an 800-mile-long railway. Three months ago, a steam locomotive was tried to run. This was the first locomotive in the Tang Dynasty. It is said that its speed reached an astonishing level, basically achieving the goal of starting from the beginning.
The purpose of traveling from Chang'an to Luoyang is to arrive in the morning and evening, and today is the first time this steam locomotive is officially running. This smoking and fire-breathing monster has used its roar to make the Guanzhong Plain majestic for the first time.
For this railway, Yun Ye knew how much his son had paid. Yuezhou's family property had been basically swallowed up by this railway. The stubborn Huahua even sold her dowry to help her husband complete his
dream.
There were more than 20,000 Japanese slaves who built the railway, but now there are less than 8,000 left. This is almost a road paved with blood and tears using human flesh.
These are nothing. The death of slaves did not cause any trouble in the Tang Dynasty, but during the trial run of the train, the people and livestock killed were a big trouble. People in the Tang Dynasty had never seen a train. When they put the train on the road
While walking on a ladder-like road, the train came over. Faced with such a steel monster, they did not run, but stood there stupidly, waiting for the roaring train to smash into a corpse.
Officials of the Tang Dynasty, who had not yet benefited from the convenience of train transportation, thought that this was a big toy of the Duke of Chu. For such a big toy, he actually ignored human life. In their view, this was something that could only be done by thieves who remnant the people.
things.
It is a pity that all the officials of the Tang Dynasty were scared out of their wits by the Senate. The East and West Pavilions turned a blind eye to the matter of the train, until the Duke of Chu said that all the people and animals killed by the train were...
When the family refused to compensate and instead wanted to hold the deceased responsible for the collision, the local officials were shocked and furious by this shockingly cruel statement. They did not hesitate to leave their posts without permission and came to the Yun family in person to ask for a clear explanation.
, many officials were still students of Yushan Academy, and they could not believe that this sentence came from the Duke of Chu, who always loved his people like his own son.
The publicity of railway operation has been started since the beginning of railway construction. They don't know that as soon as the train starts running, it will be very difficult to stop under the action of gravity. Often the train driver finds something wrong and starts to stop until the train stops.
, the accident had already happened, and there was no way to stop it.
Yun Ye did not explain, but just took them to watch the train model, and then asked Yun Huan to take them on the train in person to observe how the train worked and test the shortest distance required for parking.
When those officials asked to stop the train running within their jurisdiction, Yun Ye threw a bunch of data on the faces of the officials who were leaving the academy, then told them to get out, and gave a final warning: "Take care of your own people!"
It takes sixteen counties to go from Chang'an to Luoyang, and there are only seven counties with certain development capabilities, so the train will stop at these seven places. The officials who left the academy understood the report data in their hands and began to restrain the people under their rule.
The people. But those stubborn officials were still crying out to the emperor.
In this chaotic time, the train finally ushered in its trial run. Yushan Academy spent five years manufacturing a total of two locomotives. In order to manufacture locomotives, metallurgy and metal processing techniques have also been greatly developed.
The simplest lathe has appeared. Since the emergence of this thing, the entire industry has finally been able to develop from rough to refined and entered a healthy development track.
As a result, standard workpieces began to become popular, and the academy, which had a very unique vision, established its own standards at the first time, and this standard also became the standard for the entire world industry.
Li Tai is eagerly waiting for the steam engine to be miniaturized so that he can completely fly his plane into the sky. Over the years, he has accumulated enough experience, whether it is a glider or a paraglider, he can freely fly
After flying, his eyes finally shifted from human and animal power to mechanical power.
Li Chengqian did not allow Yun Ye to open a hole in the Chang'an city wall. There was no room for negotiation on this point. In his opinion, opening a hole in the Hangu Pass Fortress was already a huge concession. Without the protection of a tall and majestic city wall, he would always
I felt that I could not sleep well, so the train station could only be set up outside Chang'an City.
Yun Ye congratulated his son on his great achievement. Li Chengqian was going to take the train today, so Yun Ye did not plan to go. It was always boring for the two of them to argue when they met.
Li Er didn't go either, but his eldest grandson did. Li Er now hated all new things. He drove the steam car that Li Tai gave him and hit a tree, almost killing him. From then on, he never stopped
He likes new things, of course, this does not include new weapons. As long as a new weapon comes out, he always has to observe it. This is because he has completely lost feeling in his legs in the past two years, so he gives up now.
My main thing is fishing, and I don’t drink much anymore. The main reason is that my whole body hurts after drinking.
Xin Yue proudly took her whole family there. How could she let go of her son's achievements? This time, she very generously took Na Rimu, Ling Ding, and Xiao Miao with her, and they went to take the train with each other cheering and hugging each other. She was very happy
I want to feel what my husband said, the wonderful feeling of walking eight hundred miles in a day while sitting on the ground.
Li Er doesn't go anywhere else for fishing, just in the Dongyang River. The early winter sunshine still brings a bit of warmth. The river is green and green. Before it starts to freeze, the sound of green magnolia grass coir raincoats brings a fragrant fragrance.
The aroma is the most refreshing.
Li Er, holding a white jade cigarette stick in his mouth, looked like an old farmer. Although the raincoat he was wearing was enough to bury one hundred and eighty old farmers, it still did not prevent him from calling himself an old farmer.
Yun Ye threw the fishhook into the river, quietly sat next to Li Er and fished quietly.
"If you hold back any longer, I'm going to die soon. If I die, you won't have to be tied to Yushan City. Now you can't even attend your son's grand gathering. From my point of view, Cheng Qian has no
My methods are not as courageous as mine, so he will not attack Yushan City. If you want to go, just go, there is no need to accompany me fishing."
Yun Ye also put the cigarette pot in his mouth and said expressionlessly: "My existence is to prevent emergencies. I came up with the idea of the Zen position, so you must live your life as you please."
Li Er chuckled, took back the fishhook, put the bait on it again, threw the silk thread into the river and said with a smile: "You think too highly of yourself. If I don't want to, who can persuade me? Remember, it's
I, Li Shimin, am tired of being the emperor, not because of your nonsense. Remember to write this sentence into the history books."
In the early winter, the water temperature was low, and the fish were too lazy to move. The two of them sat there for a long time without getting any results. When their interest was waning, a whistle sounded in the distance, and Yun Ye pushed Li on a cart.
The second time I climbed up the high slope, I saw on the plain at the foot of the mountain, a long, shiny black dragon rumbling past Yushan City and heading straight for Hangu Pass. The locomotive was spitting out black smoke. One was dragging in front, and the other was in front.
Pushing back, there are more than thirty carriages in the middle, passenger cars in the front, and freight cars in the back. There are horses galloping on the sidewalks on both sides of the railway. Those people should be Li Chengqian's guards.
"This is the train!" Li Er pointed while sitting in his wheelchair, stretching his neck.
"Yes, Your Majesty, this is the train. Its birth is not only about transporting people and goods, but also has a far-reaching significance. Wei Chen always wants to spread the railway all over the Tang Dynasty, making it not only the blood of the Tang Dynasty, but also a symbol of the Tang Dynasty.
There are iron chains that bind the territory of the Tang Dynasty. With these iron chains, the territory of the Tang Dynasty is integrated into one, and no one can even think of dividing an inch."
Li Er saw that what Yun Ye said was a little emotional, so he patted Yun Ye's hand and said: "It's up to people to make things happen. We just finish what we should do and do it well without leaving any regrets. As for who will be behind us?"
Can know.
You, it’s not a good thing that your relationship with Cheng Qian is so tense now. Does it mean that after my death, you really don’t plan to become an official in the court? Now is the best time for you to become an official, no matter in terms of wisdom,
The favor, means, vision, and experience have all reached their peak. It would be a pity to waste them in the mountains and wilderness!"
"It's nothing to be sorry about. Since I joined the officialdom, I have been thinking of eating and waiting to die. If you hadn't been whipping me from behind all these years, I would have been the biggest dandy in Chang'an City, and my life would have been extremely difficult.
Carefree."
Li Er laughed. Seeing that the train had run far away, he asked Yun Ye to push him down and came to the river again. Strangely enough, no one was there. Instead, two fishing rods caught fish. Two guards were
After retracting the line, Yun Ye and Li Er yelled and went down the hillside. When they came to the front, the fish on the fishing rod had been dragged out by the guards. Yun Ye and Li Er gently retracted the rods, and the guards took it.
Holding the copybook, two big fish were picked up. The bright red scales looked red and very beautiful in the sun.
"Damn, why is it another carp?" Li Er muttered in dissatisfaction.
"Your Majesty, do you still have taboos?"
"There is a taboo about farts. I have eaten a lot of them for a long time. Many things in the world are ruined by words. Although there are ancestral teachings, this thing is food. It would be a pity not to eat it. There are few people today. Queen,
Concubine Yang, Concubine Yin and the others are not here. They won't be able to come back until tomorrow. I guess you are the only one left in your family, right?
Wash these two fish, cook them in a pot, and make them full of flavor. They will be the lunch of our monarchs and ministers. I haven’t drank for a few days. The queen never lets me touch those things. What kind of hero is a man if he can’t touch wine?
, the sun is full today and the yang energy is strong, I should be able to drink a few drinks, right?"
