The circulation of goods has obviously put a lot of pressure on Dahan's current transportation network.
The imperial caravans are walking, local caravans are walking, and even small private merchants are walking. Even though many official roads have been widened, or even transformed into Chi roads or even straight roads, there is still no way to meet the rapid growth of the private sector.
needs.
Three hundred years of chaos have come to an end. One place after another is like a secret realm that was suddenly opened after being closed for generations. Therefore, everyone is very active in foreign exchanges and trade.
A separate, powerful cargo transportation channel is in line with current needs.
And...can this thing transport people even if it's not fully protected?
After a brief moment of surprise, the craftsmen all fell into deep thought.
And if Li Xingchen, who was watching with his hands folded, knew that these guys were still struggling with whether the train could transport people, he would probably be able to help but slap them on the head.
But this is not to blame the craftsmen. What the Han Dynasty first developed was the transportation of goods, not the movement of people.
It is understandable that everyone is preoccupied with transporting goods and forgets about transporting people.
Li Xingchen didn't push, he was just responsible for providing an idea.
The development of Han Dynasty's industry originated from a few of His Majesty's seemingly unconstrained ideas, such as assembly lines, firearms, etc. But as mentioned before, ideas are just ideas after all.
From the emergence of an idea to its implementation and then to production, it is not something that can be realized just by thinking about it. Therefore, every craftsman involved in Dahan is worthy of respect. They understood Li Xingchen's ideas and put them into practice.
.
People a thousand years from now may be surprised by this, but it is just some common sense that everyone knows and knowledge of physics and chemistry that can be mastered in middle school and high school. What is so rare?
Little did they know that for people of this era, all of this was actually equivalent to opening up a new field. In fact, Li Xingchen only gave them a general direction. What they could gain by going in the specific direction was ultimately up to them.
Still don't know.
As a liberal arts student, Li Xingchen's knowledge of many science subjects is actually ambiguous, so he does not dare to go into too much detail. Otherwise, if he makes a mistake, he will take many years of detours.
In addition, Li Xingchen is not inclined to plan all the details on the road by himself. The craftsmen are only responsible for turning these details into reality step by step, because this often means that the craftsmen are learning and imitating in this process.
In the process, we have lost the ability to think and judge for ourselves. Everything His Majesty says is right, so why don’t we just follow suit?
In this way, they will naturally ignore the questions of why we are doing this and what should we do next.
Not knowing the cause and effect of things is blind.
Li Xingchen may still have the energy to guide everything in detail now, but what happens next?
What happened after Li Xinchen died?
Then won’t Dahan’s technological development have to stagnate for many, many more years?
Li Xingchen is not so much trying to bring some new technologies to this era, but rather he is instilling some ideas and some ways of thinking about problems and exploring into this era.
It is better to teach people to fish than to teach them to fish.
So... His Majesty decisively chose to be lazy.
After the enlightenment, it’s time to implement it step by step. You can figure out how to turn the train from a simple drawing drawn by His Majesty into a real product.
At least for Li Xingchen, he now found a good way to help the Han Dynasty consolidate the rule of the southern border, Liaodong and the western regions in the future.
Once the railway is connected, the world will be unified.
Liu Zhuo and the other craftsmen all took a half step back and solemnly raised their hands to Li Xingchen.
Would love to be taught.
If this guy is not His Majesty, everyone is very interested in catching him and opening his head to see if there are any new ideas inside. Don't shock everyone every time.
Li Xingchen looked at the steam engine with great interest.
Opportunities should be found for students from various colleges to visit.
After all, they are the future.
In addition, Li Xingchen is also very curious about what kind of railway and what kind of train the Ministry of Industry will eventually build for him?

The peace and prosperity of Chang'an is because the Northwest War is actually coming to an end.
It seems that both Wuwei and Zhangye are surrounded by enemies and are in danger.
But in fact, His Majesty, the military, and the ministers in the court all know that Tuyuhun can no longer gain military power, so there is no loss for the Han Dynasty.
The Tuyuhun army entered, but Wuwei failed to be captured. They rushed to the river and were beaten back. They attacked Wuwei again and failed to capture it. It was a lot of trouble, but what did they get in the end? It seemed that they got nothing. The outside of Wuwei City was demolished to death.
Just a few bricks.
Therefore, the same is true for the Han Dynasty. In addition to the fact that the soldiers who died in battle cannot be resurrected, it seems that the money and food invested and the mighty city walls have been lost. Such losses are not considered losses.
Is it better to fight a war involving a whole country?
Now that Pei Zilie has led his army to approach Wuwei, the Tuyuhun army outside Wuwei City must not dare to stay for long, and they will soon be able to regain Wuwei's outer positions.
Therefore, even the soldiers of the Han army, who started running wildly from crossing the river with almost no stops, could not help but breathe a sigh of relief when they saw Wuwei City. Although everyone knew that this war was far from over.
, continuing to look to the west, there are Zhangye's Paoze brothers waiting for their rescue. Even the senior generals are aware of the imperial court's ambitions for the entire Hexi and Western Regions.
As for Tuyuhun's main territory surrounding Qinghai Lake, such as Fuqi City, etc., if Tuyuhun was willing to "give up", the big man would certainly accept it.
Therefore, this war, which seems to be coming to an end, is actually just the beginning of a new era.
A new era of westward expansion and development.
The first thing the Han army did after arriving in Wuwei was to attack the enemy's camp outside the city.
At this time, the Tuyuhun general who stayed in Wuwei was still the unlucky Murong Fuyun.
This guy was supposed to be the forward commander who led the Tuyuhun troops to attack arrogantly. It was when he was using this battle to gain fame, but who knew that the timely arrival of Han reinforcements and the fall of Zhangye would transform him from a forward to a...
He became the general responsible for breaking up the rear. He was chased and beaten by the Han army all the way. The Han army's cavalry even overtook cars from time to time. He didn't take you people seriously at all, which made Murong Fuyun feel more aggrieved and frustrated.
Qu
So now he has made up his mind to rely on the camps outside Wuwei City and the Great Wall to block everything for several days.
If I hold on for one more day, I will give Murong Shifu another day to capture Zhangye and stabilize his position.
