Great Tang Idyll - Chapter 886

[Chapter 510]

Chapter

510 The development of the rumors about crossing the river by train and ferrying by boat was a little bit out of Zhang Xiaobao’s expectations. He had planned to take some measures and took his mind back and decided to do something practical.

While waiting for the legendary train to appear, the wind of speech of the onlookers changed, from first questioning the fairness of Qiu Wei to requiring Zhang Xiaobao to participate in the imperial examination and win the champion.

The people who didn’t know the details wisely found a good solution. Since it was said that Qiu Wei’s ranking had already been arranged, as long as Zhang Xiaobao was pushed up, this ‘conspiracy’ could be destroyed.

Not to give Zhang Xiaobao the champion.

In addition to the common people who follow and join together, the businessmen who prefer to fuel the flames behind the scenes do not care who is the first or second in the autumn season, they only care about their own status.

Now the status of businessmen has improved slightly. One is the support in several business operations organized by Zhang Xiaobao, and the other is the materials and money paid in Chaoyang Operation, which has changed the image of the businessmen.

When they heard the solutions discussed by the common people, the only thing they thought of was that if Zhang Xiaobao really participated in this year’s autumn festival and could not get the champion, then his status as a ‘class’ person would be lowered.

In the eyes of ‘literati’, Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan are a pair of people who attach importance to ‘education’. They proposed Chaoyang Action for the first time in Baoxin County and worked hard for it.

In the eyes of the common people, Zhang Xiaobao and Zhang Xiaobao are a pair of good officials who are very capable and care about the suffering of the common people. Wherever the two of them go to serve as officials, the common people live very well.

In the eyes of businessmen, Wang Juan was automatically ignored, and Zhang Xiaobao became the ‘God of War’ in the shopping mall. As long as what he said, as long as it was the action he directed, there was no need to doubt, let alone hesitation, just follow him forward, absolutely not. would be wrong.

If he can’t get into the top spot, doesn’t that mean that the businessmen of the Tang Dynasty are even less capable?

The little reputation that was finally built up will be wasted, and it is unknown when it will be restored, so this flag cannot be overturned, even if it is piled with money, Zhang Xiaobao must be piled up to the position of the champion.

With this idea in mind, businessmen are not like the common people who can only talk, they are afraid of long nights and dreams, and they don’t care about the train. They crowd out of the crowd and find a place where they can send telegrams. They send telegrams to their partners, and discuss how Do be able to push Zhang Xiaobao to the position of the champion when he participates in the autumn festival.

Like this, it should have been the lively scene of watching the train, but the atmosphere changed.

Li Longji, who was watching the fun in the sky in a hot air balloon, also kept an eye on the situation below, and

people sent information from time to time.

But what happened today was a bit beyond Li Longji’s expectations. At the beginning, everyone was talking about trains, and then it became the ranking of this year’s autumn.

At first, when Li Longji heard the news, he glared at the other hot air balloons that were accompanying him. Those were people from the clan, especially those from the clan who had never dealt with Zhang Wang’s family.

If Li Longji didn’t know that they were behind it, he wouldn’t have to be the emperor. He just didn’t know how to keep things down. The trend of the discussion below changed unexpectedly.

Listening to what the person who reported the telegram said, Li Longji exhaled, took a glass of wine with ice cubes, took a sip, and asked Gao Lishi, “Can Lishi have something to say?”

Gao Lishi was overjoyed. , listened to the emperor’s question, pondered for a while, and replied: “I found that the people have become wiser and more courageous, and they have begun to care about the important affairs of the court. It is not appropriate to arbitrarily discuss the affairs of the court without knowing the inside information.”

“Really .

Is it wrong?” Li Longji asked again.

“Uh~ This, the minister is not easy to judge for a while. If it is wrong, it is indeed wrong. How can the people know that the court’s affairs are difficult to do? But if it is said that there are advantages, at least the local officials want to deceive the people and do something bad. I don’t say it, but I know in my heart that it will not be the same as before. The people can only follow what the officials do and say.

During the spring flood this year, many officials who had improperly managed local areas were reported. Coupled with the propaganda of the newspapers, the people in the disaster-stricken areas were evacuated very quickly. There was no one who would rather die in the family business than leave when they encountered disasters like in the past. situation, because they know that the departure is temporary, and when the flood passes, there are still people to help with the construction.

People who are not affected by the disaster are also willing to temporarily accept the people who fled the disaster. This is because the cohesion has increased. The minister estimates that His Majesty will start a war and write down the disrespect of the enemy to me in the newspaper. Even if the number of regular troops is not enough, it will be temporarily. If you increase your troops, you can also increase to tens of millions of warriors to fight for the country.

At this moment ,

Gao Lishi was not happy for his son to get the support of the common people, nor did he simply comment on whether the common people should become smarter or not. He completely analyzed the gains and losses from the perspective of the country.

Li Longji did not speak immediately and narrowed his eyes .

, leaned on the back of the chair, thought for a while, then smiled and said, “I think that as long as no one deliberately tells right and wrong, the people are still good, and the more knowledge you wait for the people to learn, the more they want to incite the people. Disaster.

Unless, unless I’m really stupid to the point where I should go, the people will still support me. It’s just that people who go to the local government can’t do it well. If they do something wrong, it’s hard for the people to fool them. ?

Locally, you can learn, Luzhou, Baoxin County, Shuzhou, and Changning County, disclose the income, the things to do and the money to spend, and there is no ghost in your heart, what are you afraid of?

Lux, are you right?

”

Your Majesty’s words are very true. For example, Baoxin County, this minister has paid attention to it. The new magistrate has always been Xiao Gui and Cao Sui, and he will do it according to the original method. This year, the yamen has been newly built, and his own behavior has also been repaired. Or the money in the yamen.

This was not something he wanted to repair himself. It was because the people saw that the yamen in the county was too dilapidated and felt that it would affect the image of the county. They took the initiative to jointly request the county magistrate to repair it. If you dare not say it, you will scold them behind your back. Xiaobao and Juanjuan once said that the people of the Tang Dynasty are the best people and the most reasonable people. As long as they are not forced to live, they will be very obedient, so …

”

“So as long as I know which local officials have forced the people to death, I will seize his house and make him die.” Before Gao Lishi finished speaking, Li Longji took over the words with a sullen look on his face. .

After saying this, Li Longji smiled again, glanced at the other hot air balloons, and said: “Xiaobao and Juanjuan’s participation in the autumn festival this year has been decided, even if the two of them try to find a reason to escape, it will not be possible. It’s what the people want, and let the people behind the scenes know that the will of the people cannot be violated, so be honest with me.”

The other people on the hot air balloon were indeed honest, and they also received the news from the following, they first thought When the momentum was increased, the students who were waiting for the Qiuwei examination were unwilling, and the people were unhappy. When they opposed it together, they said Zhang Xiaobao’s name, so that Zhang Xiaobao could not get the champion.

Unexpectedly, pushing a hand behind the back will get different results, and before he can achieve his own goal, when the name of Zhang Xiaobao is mentioned, the people themselves think of Zhang Xiaobao and push it out.

The person who spread the word does not add any processing, but one mouthful of our little treasure, our cuckoo, this kind of words makes people feel frightened, and the name without a sense of distance does not mean that Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan have lost officials in the hearts of the common people. Their status will not only prevent them from issuing executive orders, but will allow every word they say to be supported by the people.

“A man’s arm is a car”, some people from the clan who are going to be hostile to Zhang Wang’s family have this word in their hearts at the same time.

Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan, who were crowded in the crowd, finally came to the railway, where there was a place where the train would connect. The train was not here, but on the boat.

At the beginning, it was agreed that Luoyang would be connected to Chang’an. After reaching the Yellow River, passengers would get off the train, walk over the bridge, and then take the train over there to continue their journey.

Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan discussed this matter for several days, and finally decided to use a boat to load a train to travel between the two sides of the strait. After all, passengers can come, but the goods are not easy to handle. If there is time for loading and unloading, it is better to pull it directly.

Wang Juan waited for the train to come over for a while, so that she could stand up with Zhang Xiaobao to announce the matter. She glanced back and forth on the river, and said to Zhang Xiaobao, “It would be good when there is an electric locomotive. The current steam engine can’t pull anything too heavy. Once It can only pull 15 carriages, and each carriage can only carry 20 tons of cargo, and the speed is only over 30 kilometers per hour, which is really slow.”

“The speed of the train is slower and the pulling is less, but I am a big Tang. The development of science and technology is fast. Today I can build a train, and tomorrow I will dare to build a plane. UU read www.sonicmtl.com Take a look at this rail, not to mention that it will not give Japan and other countries steam engine technology, it will give them, they The

railway can’t be repaired either.”

Zhang Xiaobao is still very satisfied with this train, this is not just a problem of a train, other technologies must meet the corresponding requirements to make the train appear.

“Yes, it’s all your credit, remember to send someone to guard the railroad track, I’m afraid someone will think about us and send someone to dig the railroad track. It can transport 300 tons of things at a time. If it is repaired to Tibet, I will transfer troops at that time. , you organize the logistics, so… it’s too far, right? It can’t be repaired.”

Wang Juan imagined the transportation capacity of the train during the war. When he thought of the Longyou Road, he laughed first, and now he wants to repair the railway there. It’s different from a fool’s dream.

“Yes, there will be a day, but I estimate that one day the railway will be built to India. If you really want to fight a war, you will use a large transport plane. Whoever participated in the development of the train, remember to write down their names. , let the whole world know of their existence, I dare not take credit.”

Zhang Xiaobao gently embraced Wang Juan’s waist, looked towards the northwest at the same time as her, and said to him with emotion.
