Great Tang Idyll - Chapter 814

[Chapter 439]

Li Xun, who received Wang Juan’s tactical support, was completely relieved, and the large troops retreated one after another. Except for the 2,000-strong team that had been instructed by the fleet in advance, they had already started to set fire. Li Xun stayed with another 2,000 people to support them. ~

The thick smoke rises from all directions, blowing around with the change of the wind direction, the people who have finished setting the fire will all hide by the sea, stay still, and are under the cover of the gunboats that cannot continue to go north at sea.

Looking at the gray sky, Li Xun sighed, as if muttering to himself and talking to the people around him, “Unfortunately, I don’t know how much wealth I will lose this time, it’s all my fault. Otherwise, why would you have to do this.” Joining the

army, he stayed by Li Xun’s side, and he seemed very puzzled when he heard Li Xun’s words, so he comforted him: “His Royal Highness, why worry about it, even if it burns, it will be the Governor of Heishui. It’s not a pity for the trees in the house.”

Others who only knew about fighting also nodded in agreement.

Li Xun laughed and said, “What do you know, there is no Heishui Governor’s Mansion, you have to take a long-term view. Now it seems to be someone else’s place. After the matter is over, it will be my Tang Dynasty’s place. There are many trees that can be used as pillars. There are precious beasts and medicinal herbs on the mountain, and they are all gone.

Do you know how much money was lost? I can’t count them. If you open up the burned ones, you may be able to contribute to one-fifth of the Tang Dynasty. Damn Heishui Governor’s Mansion, play hard walls and clear fields with me, and fight guerrilla warfare with me, isn’t it because the soldiers brought in can’t adapt to the environment?”

Joining the army was surprised, “so much money? , I think that with her ability, she will be able to directly defeat the Heishui Governor’s Mansion.” After the

army said this, he realized that he was belittling the Prince of Tong’an, and just as he was about to explain, Li Xun waved his hand first.

“Yes, I’m not as good as Cuckoo, but Cuckoo must not come to command the army. Wouldn’t that make it appear that I have her in the Tang Dynasty? This is also the reason why they only gave me advice and did not come here in person.

This battle must be won, no matter how much resources are lost or the number of casualties of the Tang army, not only victory, but also a result in a short period of time. read.

Joining the

army followed with a sigh and echoed: “His Royal Highness said that I have a lot of talents in the Tang Dynasty, and I can’t have Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan participate in everything, otherwise how should others look at me in the Tang Dynasty, burn it, I would rather lose.”

Li Xun laughed at this time. ”

Who said they didn’t participate, they just didn’t fight directly. After it was almost as little as possible, Zhang Xiaobao would definitely have a way to minimize the losses. Since they came up with the idea, they would have follow-up calculations.” .

”

“Is it really possible to benefit from it?”

“I don’t believe in joining the army. It

‘s all burnt out, so what’s the benefit?

“I don’t know about others, but Xiaobao will never just destroy it. Maybe it’s another trick, and we’ll see when we see it.

”

Li Xun had no doubts about Zhang Xiaobao’s ability at all, and he looked at the smoke that turned the sky into gray, and his mood was much better.

In the prefecture of Jili Prefecture, Yan Jiang, who became a judge, finally got together with his younger brother, Speaking of things after the separation, although they used to communicate with each other on letterheads, it was not as good as face-to-face communication.

His younger brother is now much more honest and no longer thinks about corruption and bribery. Back then, he was bold because he wanted to use Maybe more money for his own life, and then provide it to his family, such as his father and this older brother.

Now he is more worried about whether his actions will affect his family after learning that his older brother has embezzled 60,000 yuan After Guan Ye didn’t have anything to do, he secretly admired Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan’s mind, and decided to be a good official in

the future. It’s not that he doesn’t want to live a better life, but he understands that as long as he does things with Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan , Do things properly, don’t look at the fact that there is not much money on your body now, once you leave office, whether it is a promotion or a levelling elsewhere, you can get a very considerable reward.

Now there is not much money, but neither is spending. All the necessities of life should be provided by the state government. The things that Zhang and Wang’s family gave can only be described in two words, luxury. I want to be a county magistrate elsewhere. Even if you try to be greedy, you will not be greedy for all kinds of furniture now placed in your home, nor will you be greedy for the daily refined food.

The two brothers reunited after a long absence, and they had endless words to talk about. They sat in the Bihai Yinsha Restaurant on the main street of the state house from the morning until the moment when the lights were on.

Perhaps because they knew that they couldn’t eat much, the two ordered a few cold dishes, warmed the wine and kept drinking. By the end of the night, they were already drunk, but they were neither noisy nor noisy. smooth.

“Second, I heard that you have been following Governor Zhang all the time, and you are deeply impressed. I don’t know how much you know about him?” Looking at the brightly lit and bustling scene on the street outside, the wind of early spring was blowing, and I drank a bowl of sober. Tang’s Yan Craftsman became more energetic and asked his younger brother.

The county magistrate Yan Eryan, who was called Er, looked very embarrassed at this time. When he communicated with his brother before, he did not dare to say that he was targeted and thrown to Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan to clean up. He only said that he was favored by them. , so it was transferred from other places to Xincai County, which is next to Baoxin County.

Then he was arranged to go to Jili Prefecture, and he rose all the way from an ordinary county captain to the position of county magistrate. The good things such as fungus, ginseng, and sea cucumber brought back by the entrusting person also said that he performed well. Zhang Xiaobao gave it to him alone. Yes, in fact, all county magistrates have this treatment.

Hearing his brother’s question, after hesitating for a while, he decided to tell the truth, stood up, and said a few words to the people in the restaurant. After a while, the guy in the restaurant brought a pot of tea.

Poured a cup for my brother, picked up a cup myself, and said, “Brother, try this Maojian, a high-quality Maojian, it’s only a little worse than the superb Maojian that the emperor and a small number of important people drink, and you can have money outside. I

can’t buy it.”

Yan Jiang was stunned for a moment, picked up the product, nodded and said, “It is indeed better than the one I bought. The package I bought is also a high-quality product, why is the taste different? Are they fake?

” Yan Jiang, who had two mouthfuls of tea, felt deceived and was angry.

Yan Er smiled and said, “I’ve never cheated. The package says that it’s a fine product. It’s just a fine-quality product that can be bought and sold. It’s not included. If you like it, brother, take more when you leave, oh, I’m leaving. , I’m in Fuzhong now, it’s time for me to go back to Yiying County, so I don’t need to keep it for my eldest brother.”

“Why, if you have good tea for your brother, you say you can’t buy it, where did your tea come from?” Yan Jiang slapped his mouth twice, reminiscing about the toughness and sweetness in the bitterness, and he was obviously very happy that his younger brother was living a good life now.

“Stored in Bihai Yinsha, the eldest brother is now the judge of Jili Prefecture. The welfare is only higher or lower than that of the younger brother. The younger brother will not use his own things to make up for it. He said that he knew about Zhang Shishi, and he really understood.

The so-called enemy How can I not understand? It’s a pity that my opponent is doing too badly. People don’t recognize me as an opponent. I tried my best to do something. I have learned some skills, and wanting to deal with Inspector Zhang is nothing more than a dream, the elder brother wants to know which aspect, the younger brother will tell the elder brother what he has learned.

” It seemed that a heavy burden had been lifted.

His words startled Yan Jiang, and he began to re-evaluate his younger brother, wanting to see if his younger brother had three heads and six arms, and dared to oppose Zhang Shishi.

After watching for a while, he lowered his voice, “Second, didn’t the letter say that Inspector Zhang liked you? Why has it changed again?”

Yan Er smiled bitterly, “How can he like me? Any one of his family has a crush on me. The inner court is also better than me. It was the emperor who fell in love with me, no, it was the emperor who fell in love with him, and put me, an incompetent official, beside the two of them for training.

I was not the first, the first was A man named He Yiwei is now a high-ranking official in Yaozhou. I am a latecomer. The emperor wanted to see the abilities of the two of them, so he threw me beside them all the time. It was smoothed out.

Before I came to Jilizhou, I always wanted to make some trouble for them, but I couldn’t succeed. I was not convinced, so I tried to understand as much as possible, so that I could write to you about how to build the place.

Don’t worry, eldest brother, now brother, I have cancelled my past plans, and I am ready to follow them as a good official, and I will not be messed up like before.

When

Yan Jiang heard the words behind his brother, he wiped the cold sweat on his forehead, let out a long breath, and asked, “Then how much do you know?

”

That’s a lot. I now know that their family has a lot of money, and they hold a lot of shares in Datang Qianzhuang. There are also transactions in Shuiyunjian, Haiyunjian, Bihai Yinsha and the city, and there are also transactions in road and bridge.” There are fleets on the Yangtze and Yellow Rivers, sea fleets, and 6-way transport teams.

The 6 states are the world of the two of them, and there are people in Jinchuan, Tubo. There is a large ranch in Fengzhou, and there is a wine field and ski resort in Yizhou, not to mention here.

In addition to these, I also know that their family has a lot of weapons, but not all of them are exposed outside. I know that their No. 0 seedling protection team has begun to form their own teams, which are trained according to the generals, and know their inner courtyard. Each of the servants has great abilities.

I know that the more important things others don’t understand, that is, after my observation over this period of time, I can see that their minds are not on fighting with the officials of the Tang Dynasty, nor on running on other businessmen in the Tang Dynasty. It’s about wanting to solve all problems at once, like….

”

Yan Er told his brother what he had learned. Just as he was talking about this, his mouth was covered by his brother before he finished speaking.

Yan Jiang looked around nervously and saw no one else, his face was yellow, He leaned into his brother’s ear vigilantly, “Second, we won’t say what others are going to do, but there must be evidence for rebellion, otherwise you will be careful.

”

“Brother what are you talking about?”

rebel?

Who rebelled?

I didn’t say that the Zhang and Wang families were going to rebel. If they wanted to rebel, they would have done it long ago. With the strength of the two families, not to mention being the emperor directly, at least they can lead half of the country with the current Tang Dynasty.

The thing I’m going to say is, for example, they sent people along the sea as if to find several very good things, and I’ve occasionally heard a few words from people in the inner courtyard of his house, saying that if you find those few things , I don’t have to be afraid of any disaster in the future.

Also, they want to turn all the places that can be seen into the land of our Tang Dynasty. Xinyuan Island is one of them, and there will be more in the future, such as the Bohai Governor’s Mansion. In the past, our dynasty could not directly rule, but now it will do. , is attacking the Blackwater Governor’s Mansion, once they are defeated, they will continue to occupy the north.

Brother, what I want to say is that following Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan, you don’t have to worry about not having a high-ranking official. Wang Juan doesn’t have to worry about losing in battle. Even if you don’t have the legendary magical skills, others can’t keep up with their weapons. Zhang Xiaobao For building places, that ability has reached the level of a demon.

I have studied my brother, and it is amazing to say that no matter where they go, they can always find local resources very quickly, such as coal mines, iron mines, gold, silver and copper mines, etc., as well as various specialties such as When I interplanted soybeans and sesame seeds in Xincai County, and then produced sesame oil, it was really different. It tasted good and sold well.

”

Yan Er’s words stunned the elder brother.

Yan Jiang knew how powerful the Zhang Wang family was, but he couldn’t understand such details. Only after the younger brother spoke, did he really know how powerful the Zhang Wang family was.

” According to this, Couldn’t they turn stone into gold?

No wonder the nine children in their family can be so arrogant, so the bigger ones are fourth-rank officials. Although they are casual officials, they are also officials. They can impeach and question cases.

”

Yan Jiang’s heart is more balanced, and he doesn’t care about why Xiaobei and others can have such a big official. It seems that such a thing has never happened before.

Yan Er shook his head. “No, no, Yuna has no official, His Majesty is….

Having said this, Yan Er lowered his voice. “Your Majesty thinks that I owe them too much to the Zhang and Wang families. They have countless businesses, such as the Tracker Association on the Yangtze River, the Breeding Business Association and the Engineering Team in Jiannan Road.

But the living money they can use has always been small. What my brother said is not much refers to the proportion, but it is not really much. The money for researching various powerful weapons is from his family, and the welfare of many soldiers is from his family. The money is not for the imperial court, for building roads and bridges, and for disaster relief.

Wherever the Tang Dynasty needs money, his family will take it, and it is not a lot. His Majesty has gained fame, obtained various good technologies, and obtained territory, and will naturally compensate them, so their family has a little more power. A little bit.

Yan Jiang was taken aback .

If it wasn’t for his younger brother, he really didn’t know the internal situation.

After thinking about it for a while, he said, “The power is a little bit bigger. For example, Zhang Zhong’s Shangshu, I heard rumors from the capital that it was his own family.” Arrangements, such as the transfer of my brother and me, can be done in one sentence, but in this way, can his family really support the entire Tang Dynasty?

Your Majesty will tolerate the existence of his family in the Tang Dynasty?

”

Of course it won’t last long. They are transforming. One is to prevent His Majesty from being suspicious. Found a big, big coal mine.

I don’t know why it’s so accurate. After I found it, I started to contact other people to mine, as well as mines such as aluminum ore, and I transported various resources back from overseas. When this place has other people to become officials, they will interact with each other. If you have money to distribute benefits, you will naturally be able to support the local army.

I heard from the inner courtyard of their house that the tax will be directly managed by the capital in the future, and then come back, and his family will be evacuated from it at that time. In this way, there is no need to continue to manage the conscripts, and there is no need for His Majesty to worry.

”

Yan Er pointed to the north and told his brother about the large coal mine there.

Yan Jiang nodded numbly, “It’s really turning a stone into gold, you can find all kinds of mineral resources here, it’s amazing.

”

The more amazing thing is yet to come, brother, have you heard of kombu?”

”

Naturally know, good things, many children in the school are eating them now, they say they won’t grow their necks after eating, and it is also written in the medical manual, what do you do with this thing?

”

Yan Jiang asked such a simple question, and you have to ask your brother to look at his younger brother.

“Then do you know that kelp can be grown?”

But do you know that the fungus that I usually bring back home is grown by their home?

Can you see where ginseng is grown?

Have you ever seen pearls grown?

”

Yan Er asked one question after another, each time Yan Jiang shook his head vigorously, waiting for Yan Er to finish, Yan Jiang blinked and said in disbelief, “Don’t tell my brother, They can grow anything.”

Yan Er didn’t say affirmative words directly, but took out a box from his arms, opened it, revealing a necklace of pearls inside, and pushed it in front of his brother.

“Big brother, this is given to my sister-in-law by my brother, because I did things safely in the county, and the reward was given. This is a three-year-old pearl cultured in 6 states, and there are more than a dozen bottles of pearl paste. I didn’t bring it today, wait for me. Go back and order someone to deliver it to my eldest brother.”

Yan Jiang saw the pearl in the box, and he was completely dumbfounded. After a while, he recovered a little. He stretched it out and took a closer look. The brilliance, especially under the light of the street lights, looks gorgeous and unusual, each of which is generally large, about five points.

It’s not that I haven’t seen bigger pearls, although I’ve never owned them, I’ve seen even a dozen of the same six-point pearls placed together, but that’s different from the one in front of me. I’ve seen them before because I know they’re invaluable. It’s not easy to find in shells.

Today, this string is actually raised. If it can be raised, the pearls will no longer be as valuable as they used to be. Can the pearls be raised?

How did the Zhang and Wang families do it?

“Has the value of pearls dropped?” Thinking of this, Yan Jiang asked.

“No, most of these pearls are sent to the hospital except for making cosmetics and accessories. They are used as medicinal materials. Well, medicinal materials can also be grown. When my brother has time to go to the beach to see, my brother will tell you where to grow kelp, Zhang Xiaobao and the others. It’s called kelp, and one of the special seasonings in their restaurant is obtained from kelp.”

Yan Er looked very excited, as if he made all this.

Yan Jiang nodded dumbly, “Okay, okay.” The

moon was bright in the sky, and the lights were still bright outside.

Yan Jiang, who returned to his courtyard, has not recovered from the shock.

Today, from his younger brother’s mouth, he completely knows the background of Zhang Wang’s family. Now he is not afraid of the huge power of others, but is happy, and his happy head is confused.

He likes to study all kinds of things, and it takes a lot of money to study things. It’s okay to say that if he succeeds, he doesn’t know how much money he will need to supplement after failure. The problem will not be the problem.

Just as the younger brother said when we parted at the end, with the Zhang Wang family, don’t think about other things, work hard and be loyal. In the future, as the territory becomes larger and larger, more officials will be needed. Let the Zhang Wang two It is very easy to be the prefect of a state.

I have worked hard, whether it is for my hobbies or for my future status.

Yan Jiang made up his mind, waved his fist, stood up and prepared to go outside to see the beauty of the city that never sleeps on Zhengzhong Street.

Unexpectedly, as soon as I went out, I met two people, a man and a woman. The man was handsome and the woman was beautiful. There was an indescribable indifference on his face.

I looked familiar, rubbed my eyes, and took a closer look at the light of the street lamp, yes, I knew.

“Inspector Zhang and Wang Canjun, why are you two here?” Yan Jiang asked in confusion.

“Yan Judge, are you really going to go for a walk? Before I came, I made a bet with Xiaobao. I said that you had been drinking with your brother for a day today. You should be exhausted. You will rest early. Come back tomorrow, but Xiaobao said you will definitely be in the yard. Sit for a while, and then want to come out, don’t you think you really came out?”

Wang Juan blushed slightly when he spoke, and glanced at Zhang Xiaobao, Zhang Xiaobao was smug, and he didn’t know what the two of them were betting on.

Yan Jiang didn’t pay attention to other people’s faces. His own face had already changed and became extremely pale. He was frightened by the conversation he had with his younger brother just before he came out, and he has not recovered yet. .

It’s so amazing, isn’t it?

He can even figure out whether he is going out at night or resting. He just went out and hasn’t even taken a step, so someone else’s house is blocked at the door.

What else do they not know?

No wonder the younger brother is so arrogant that he is so arrogant. He really doesn’t know the same thing as his younger brother. If his younger brother makes a small move, he doesn’t need to send someone to monitor him. Maybe he can figure it out.

Immortals, heaven, earth, I don’t blame people for leading troops to fight or economic construction. Now all kinds of mines are going so smoothly, so it can be counted. I can’t blame your majesty for being so kind to the two of them. I think they know their skills. , if it doesn’t work out, it’s not bad for the country, but it must be good.

“Sir Yan, what are you thinking? It’s just that the two of us have something to say to you. Let’s go out and have a look together. To be honest, don’t look at the place that the two of us watched and built, but the two of us didn’t have much time to appreciate it. The sky is busy, running from east to west, and then from west to east.”

Wang Juan woke up Yan Jiang at this time.

“That is, that is, the two of you must be very tired, and it would be very hard to figure it out.” Yan Jiang followed the thoughts just now and said it.

Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan were stunned for a while, and then smiled slightly at the same time, without explaining what psychology was, they walked down the street with Yan Jiang.

Yan Jiang was a little nervous and excited at the same time. He didn’t know how to talk to Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan, and he walked a few dozen steps, looking very bored.

It was Zhang Xiaobao who first said, “Master Yan, do you want to be a good official or a researcher? If you want to be an official, look at the construction of Zhu’a County, as long as you don’t greedy money for research, I can arrange for you to go to a state to be a provincial governor.”

Zhang Xiaobao’s words made Yan Jiang stunned for a while, then he reacted and asked, “What if you do research?”

“You can’t be a parent official if you do research, you can only be research The officials in the area are not the Ministry of Industry, nor is it a military equipment supervisor, but a new department that will appear in a short time. What they have to do is to study various technologies, and other people are busy with the daily management of daily life. ”

Zhang Xiaobao spoke out what he had been thinking about recently for Yan Jiang to choose.

Yan Jiang knew that Zhang Xiaobao proposed that there would be a department dedicated to this matter in the future, and there would definitely be one, and no one above the court could stop it.

Which one do you want to do?

The meaning of obedience, as long as you are an official in research, you can no longer manage the people, you have to think about it carefully.

Thinking in his heart, Yan Jiang looked up at the bright street lamp on the side of the road, and for a while he really didn’t know how to answer.

Wang Juan also looked at the street lamp and introduced: “The electricity used for this street lamp is driven by a wind turbine. I found a tuyere here, and just set up a group. No matter which direction the wind blows, there are windmills following it. Turn, usually provide office use in the state capital and street lights, and some businesses willing to spend money have also received electricity.

This is all technological progress. If the steam engine is done well enough, it can be used for electricity, so there is no need to continue. You have to have an outlet. Being a parent official is a blessing, but in fact, researching more advanced technologies will also benefit many people.

As for the treatment of technical officials, the treatment is the same as that of administrative officials, and even higher than that of administrative officials at this stage. I, Tang Dynasty, need a technological flying show, leave other countries far behind, build bigger ships, and go overseas to find more useful resources.”

Yan Jiang understood what he meant when he heard this, Wang Juan I want to be a technician because I figured out a steam engine, and I can’t help but feel excited. It is also a great sense of achievement to think that what I will make in the future can make people’s lives as convenient as this electric light.

“Wang Canjun, will my steam engine be used on the common people soon? I will continue to improve it and try to make it smaller and more useful. What kind of benefits can the common people get from it?” For a

moment, Yan Jiang felt that he It is great, and it can apply what has been made to the people.

Wang Juan and Zhang Xiaobao also admitted that Yan Jiang’s idea was great, but they could not directly use the steam engine on the common people according to Yan Jiang’s statement.

Zhang Xiaobao glanced at Wang Juan and said to Yan Jiang: “Master Yan, that steam engine is good, but it can’t be used on the common people right away.”

“Where is that used?” Yan Jiang was surprised.

“It’s used on warships. I think Master Yan has also heard about it. We have a very powerful water weapon called gunboat. Wherever we go, ghosts and ghosts evade, but the speed of the ship is still too slow and labor-intensive. , a lot of space is wasted.

If you put the steam engine on it, the speed of the boat will become faster, saving space for oars, and it can carry more shells, so you can hit anyone you want.”

Zhang Xiaobao said bluntly Land and Yan Jiang explained.

Yan Jiang opened his mouth, sighed, and said, “It turned out to be used to kill people, and the technology is not meant to benefit the people right away?”

“Well, it is used to kill people. If someone refuses to obey, they will kill them. If they obey, they will deter people, not people’s livelihood. It directly benefits the common people, but it also belongs to the category of benefiting the common people. Without a powerful force, how can the people live a stable life?

Good technology has always been used in the military first, even if the creator of this technology did not think so For example, when our family made firecrackers, it was basically to prepare for the future cannonballs.

Now you go to the territory of Tubo and say that you are from the Tang Dynasty to see if anyone dares to disrespect you? Let’s turn around and see if they dare to expel you and look down on you?”

Zhang Xiaobao was afraid that Yan Jiang would give up being a technician, and such talents are not easy to get, especially Yan Jiang’s thinking is what Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan need the most, so Give examples when persuading.

Yan Jiang lowered his head to think about it, then raised his head to look at the people passing by on the street, and said with a nod, “Don’t dare, they are already frightened, especially Xinluo, you Jilizhou are so close, both sides of Shui 6 are omnipotent. They don’t dare to fight it, plus Wang Canjun’s stubborn character, they dare not.

Just like what Wang Canjun said when he led the Yizhou logistics battalion to kill the Tubo people, you kill one of me, and I will slaughter one of your villages. People, people who died of starvation, and the hundreds of thousands of slaves who came to you, should be enough for one person and one village.”

“Has Master Yan figured it out?” Wang Juan heard Yan Jiang talking about himself , smiled and asked.

Nodding, Yan Jiang’s eyes became firm, “I understand, I am a technician, and I will strengthen the army of the Tang Dynasty first.”

Hearing his answer, Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan breathed a sigh of relief.

In order to give Yan Jiang a little confidence, Zhang Xiaobao added: “Master Yan, in fact, the steam engine can not only be used on warships, if it is the mainstream of the Yangtze River and the Yellow River, in fact, civilian transportation and manning are also possible. Try it on a warship.

If it is easy to use, we will put it on a civilian ship immediately, and it will be more convenient to travel between the north and the south. Mr. Yan should have heard of Huayuan Express, but we are actually in charge. With the express ship , it will be easier to deliver the goods and letters to those who need it.”

Perhaps he was numb from the fright. Hearing that Datang’s most powerful letterhead delivery organization was actually in charge of the Zhang and Wang family, Yan Jiang did not say any more. Show any surprise and put a smile on your face.

“I know, the letter my brother wrote to me is the way to go. At the time, my brother was afraid that his letter would be found by you, so he didn’t dare to leave the official post. I didn’t expect that the other aspect of going was still under your means. , I will definitely study the steam engine.”

Wang Juan had an idea and added: “Master Yan, there is actually one thing we haven’t mentioned yet, that thing needs too much money to support after all, but I can promise, as long as you If the steam engine is repaired, it doesn’t break very often, and it can drive heavier things, then we will spend a lot of money to do it.”

“Can you talk to me first.” Yan Jiang was curious.

“That thing is called a train, why is it called that name, because it needs to be ignited to produce steam, and it travels on two tracks. The speed is very fast, and it can travel at least a thousand kilometers in an hour. Oh no, it can travel seven or eight. Ten miles is very convenient whether it is carrying people or pulling goods.”

Wang Juan almost told her and Zhang Xiaobao the speed of the train at that time, one hour is two hours, and there is no problem with the road of more than 1,000 kilometers. .

Yan Jiang, who had long believed that he would not be surprised, couldn’t help but widened his eyes again, “If you walk 80 miles in an hour, wouldn’t that be faster than the 800-mile express? Zhang Shishi, Wang Canjun, can you go there earlier? Tell me in

detail to the lower officials?”

If someone else uttered this statement, Yan Jiang felt that he would sneer at him, deceiving ghosts?

Seventy or eighty miles in an hour, it only takes forty or fifty days to travel from one side of the Tang Dynasty to the other. How is that possible?

But this was said by Wang Juan, thinking that the two of them were able to figure it out, even if they thought it was impossible, it should be possible.

For a while, Yan Jiang couldn’t help his curiosity, and insisted on pulling Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan to find a place to talk in detail.

Zhang Xiaobao swept across the road and saw a big food stall in front of him, with light blue smoke coming out of the grilled meat skewers, and the bowls of rice wine being sent to various tables by the staff from time to time. Many people ignored the cold of spring. Eat and drink there, and said to Yan Jiang:

“For example, if you go to the front to taste the meat skewers, it can be considered as an inspection. If they dare to use bad meat, then I will go back and find Xiao Bei and the others.”

Yan Jiang knew that Zhang Xiaobao was Just joking, I already knew from my younger brother during the day that the people of Jili Prefecture have regarded Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan as gods. No one will violate the rules made by the two, let alone use them badly when grilling. meat.

Recalling the situation when Xiao Bei and others found him looking like little adults not long ago, he said with a smile, “Well, if Governor Zhang really found Xiao Bei and Mrs. Xiao Bei, this person will tell his own thoughts even if there is nothing wrong with him. When I came out, I was so frightened that I didn’t even dare to cover it up.”

“As a kid, you know how to make a fool of yourself. If it weren’t for this, I wouldn’t have met such a powerful person as Master Yan. Come on, I’ll treat you today.”

Zhang Xiaobao heard people praise He is also very happy to have his younger siblings.
