Chapter five hundred and fifty seventh railway construction
It has to be said that the sea during the Qin Dynasty was so clean that it was hard to bear to look directly at it.
But it is precisely because of this purity that people have more desire to conquer.
This is the origin of evil in people's hearts.
People always want to occupy all the beautiful things and always want to take them for themselves.
Compared with the Qin Dynasty, the Japanese in Japan were so pure that people couldn't help but want to destroy them with their own hands!
During the month of docking for repairs, Qin Feng personally led everyone to eat, drink and have fun, which was extremely enjoyable.
Fine wine, beauties, and delicacies kept Xu Fu, Muchuan Kuzi, Qin Wangba, and the soldiers who had returned from the Eastern Expedition intoxicated all day long.
Although Wenrou Township is a Tomb of Heroes, it can also relieve fatigue in many cases.
The 23,000 Japanese people they brought with them were also properly resettled.
Even after getting enough food and putting on new clothes, they still looked like savages.
Even the moment he saw it, Qin Feng thought of the word "muhouerguan".
Under the escort of the Great Qin Xuanjia Army, they began their journey westward.
It is said that he is going to a place called Guanzhong to sow fertile land.
Muchuan Kuzi looked at the Japanese people leaving in the distance and felt very worried.
Although he didn't know what he was worried about, he always felt that something was wrong.
Many times, he even wonders, will he become a sinner of the Japanese clan?
Will this decision of my own push the Japanese clan completely into a pit of fire?
Compared with Muchuan Kuzi's worries, the Japanese who set foot on the land of Da Qin felt very excited.
The white rice and brand-new clothes are all what they can't get!
There are also crops on both sides of the road, which are golden and very pleasant.
The people here are also polite and always have happy smiles on their faces.
For the troubled Japanese, Da Qin was simply a paradise!
As for providing these people with rice and new cloth, the cabinet actually has reservations.
But Qin Feng feels that money is worthless in the warehouse. Money can only exert its value when it is spent.
Nowadays, the government continues to have a surplus and the treasury is full.
At this time, money should be spent to purchase production materials that the people have more than enough.
Only in this way can economic development be promoted.
Of course, the benefits to these Japanese people will not be endless.
After arriving in Xianyang, railway construction began, so naturally they would not provide such good meals.
The army was about to go on an expedition, and the cabinet felt that the railways should be built simultaneously, otherwise they would not be able to keep up with the army's expedition.
So, after a month of repairs, the fleet set sail again.
Qin Feng stood on the shore in person and said goodbye to his adopted son Qin Wangba with tears.
The various words of concern make the listeners moved.
If you didn't know better, you would have thought that Qin Wangba was the illegitimate son of the Prime Minister.
This time we went to sea and were joined by five huge ships again.
It was still led by Yingbu, Xu Fu, Muchuan Kuzi, and Qin Wangba, and they set sail.
After Qin Feng said goodbye, he hurried westward along the straight road to prepare for the expedition.
When we set off from the coast of the East China Sea, it was still a fruitful autumn day. By the time we arrived in Xianyang, the weather had gradually cooled down.
Qin Feng crushed a frost leaf and looked at the railway stretching out from Xianyang to the north, and couldn't help but sigh with emotion.
"The construction of the railway has begun."
Xiao He smiled bitterly and said:
"Your Majesty can't wait any longer."
Qin Feng nodded and said:
"Understand, after all, the emergence of railways will create a new era."
Seeing that Qin Feng didn't mind, Xiao He said from the side:
“This project is intended to build the railway from Xianyang to Longxi County first.
Then along the Hexi Corridor, all the way to the west until Yumen Pass."
Although Xiao He's words were very plain, Qin Feng heard something magnificent from them.
The emergence of the steam engine did not mark the Qin Dynasty's entry into steam civilization.
And it is this kind of agricultural civilization that can carry out such a huge project, which is even more precious.
Qin Feng couldn't help but sigh:
"From Xianyang to Longxi County, the construction period will probably be no less than six years.
I roughly calculated that the construction of this railway should be completed during Daqin’s third five-year plan.”
But what Qin Feng didn't expect was that Xiao He slowly shook his head and said in a deep voice:
"His Majesty requested that it be completed within three years."
"Hiss! How is that possible!"
Qin Feng couldn't help but take a breath of cold air. This is not just one or two years shorter, this is shortening the construction period by half!
Zhang Liang came over at some point and said with a sinister smile:
"How is it impossible? Just don't count the casualties!"
Qin Feng suddenly turned around and gritted his teeth and said:
"This is tyranny!"
Zhang Liang's eyes suddenly lit up:
"Good guy! How courageous are you? Are you going to rebel?"
Seeing Zhang Liang's expression of fearing for chaos in the world, Xiao He couldn't help but interrupt:
"The casualties of slaves are not taken into account.
The common people of Qin who were involved in the first phase of the project were all hired with money and food.
How could your Majesty use the people of Qin regardless of the cost?"
Qin Feng was relieved immediately. He also felt that he was a little reckless and had misunderstood the First Emperor.
However, he still said with some worry:
“Regardless of casualties, the construction period can indeed be shortened.
But the mortality rate will also increase greatly, and I’m afraid the rate of replenishment of alien slaves won’t be able to keep up!”
Zhang Liang closed his sleeves with his hands, and the cool wind blew his hair, making people suddenly realize that he was once a handsome young man, not the sixth child.
"So, Your Majesty has ordered Wang Li to lead the cavalry on the grassland and begin to march towards the Weiman Dynasty.
In addition, construction of coastal docks started at the same time, speeding up the construction of giant ships and improving the efficiency of transporting slaves from Japan.
We will even send Su Jiao to lead the Baiyue people to try to go to sea, and according to the map you provided, go to a place called Southeast Asia and capture savages everywhere."
By the time Zhang Liang finished speaking, Qin Feng was stunned.
Your Majesty is really... a man of great talent and strategy!
You might say that he was resorting to militarism, but the key point was that he did not use the power of Qin.
Whether it was an attack on the Weiman Dynasty or traveling across the ocean to hunt slaves in Southeast Asia, they all used foreign races.
The cost of this thing will not be reimbursed. At most, it will be sealed and promised to come to Xianyang to serve as an official.
Even so, these foreigners will shed tears of gratitude.
Da Qin has never stopped assimilating foreign races because it is not right to call them foreigners.
Qin people should be called ignorant.
But in order to join the Great Qin ancestral homeland, these people paid with their blood!
Just when Qin Feng was filled with emotion, a burst of crying suddenly shook the sky, mixed with curses and the crack of a whip.
Soon, a team of tens of thousands of people, carrying sleepers and shovels, joined the army building the railway.
