Great Tang Idyll - Chapter 920
[Chapter 544 1 Said that making money comes first]
The children of Zhuishu.com
tried their best to imagine the majestic scene of Xiaobei and nine people in the court, but they couldn’t think of it. The most intuitive impression can only be Xiaobei’s appearance when facing Watanabe Shirou Xiaobei is definitely not alone with Xiaobei in front of her.
(Please remember our website)
The girl who took the doll earlier, when she thought of Xiaobei being dignified, rich and powerful, lost her heart and asked Xiaobei timidly, “Xiaobei, we are friends, aren’t we? ”
No…we are not friends.” Xiaobei shook his head: “We are sisters, officialdom…you can’t, Liubian…I can’t, let’s unite, my sister…I’m in charge of official affairs, Liubian…just It’s all up
to my sister.”
This is the kind of education that Xiaobei nine people have always received, and there will be no mistakes. Of course, Xiaobei will not be perfunctory, just like Zhang Qiang, who was the son of a mountaineer in six states and recognized his adopted son. , as well as Zhang Gang and Zhang Fang from Yizhou, as well as Big Boy and Little Boy.
Five children, no matter what the original intention was when they recognized them, at least they did not have any prejudice. The food and clothing were the same, and the education they received was the same. The Zhang and Wang families treated them equally, even if they made mistakes and were beaten. If you slap them twice, you won’t slap them once, but you will also get two slaps.
Of course, Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan have never beaten their younger siblings. It’s not that they can’t, they’re disdainful. Zhang Xiaobao always believes that if a child is disobedient, it’s because adults are incompetent, and parents who have low self-esteem beat their children. Wrong words, or a crooked drawing, do you want to blame the paper?
So Xiaobei who received this kind of education is not a liar. Naturally, he is so sincere.
The little girl who asked the question had not received the corresponding education, and was moved for a while, biting her lip and nodding vigorously: “I will definitely make the willow braid well, Xiaobei, let me ask you, were there so many high-ranking officials in the early morning? They are all sitting on very beautiful chairs? It’s not easy for the county magistrate to rush over?”
Xiaobei was stunned for a moment, then shook his head: “Why, the county magistrate can’t enter at all, only fifth-rank officials can enter the court, let alone Speaking of chairs, it means standing outside. In the right row, most of them are military officers, and in the left row, most of them are civil officials, and there are half-literate people who are not military, standing in a mess.
Have you seen the steps?
They just stand down the steps and stand at the last place where there are no steps. Basically, they are all five-rank officials. In rainy and snowy days, the third-rank and above officials in front also have a canopy umbrella or something, and the others are quite good. Go ahead.
They should thank my brother and sister. My brother and sister put a heater under the Hanyuan Palace, otherwise they would freeze to death in winter. In the past, when the weather was warm, the uncle of the emperor was outside, and when it was cold, there was a heater in the hall. As for the emperor Between the uncle and them, there was Jin Wuwei blocking him.
All right now, the emperor’s uncles are all outside,
sitting on the big wide and thick chairs. My family made it. There are many people, so it has to be like this. When there are few people, go to Xingqing Palace.
I rarely go to Hanyuan Palace. I am afraid that my father will beat me and say that I always cause trouble. I don’t go to Xingqing Palace very often. It is not fun there. The most visited place is Furong Garden. There are so many people.
The
surrounding children blinked their eyes and listened carefully. They had never been to the capital, let alone participated in the morning court. Usually, no one could tell them. It will deceive people.
“Then what does the saint eat today?
Is it the dragon meat from the sky?
asked a child.
“Where is it?”
I don’t even know what a dragon looks like, what it eats, how can I say it?
Oops, this way, let me arrange it, prepare some ingredients, and taste it together, that’s all, the food is good, but not too much, especially when my brother cooks, what kind of emperor does my brother do? What does uncle eat.
”
Xiao Bei tried her best to recall the food she ate. Now it’s not as good as what she eats at home, but in order to satisfy others, she had to find a way to prepare the ingredients.
“Sister Xiao Bei, where did you stand when you went to court?”
And your brother and sister.
”
” me ?
I’m not standing, I’m sitting in the arms of the emperor’s uncle, usually turning my head.
”
“Why?”
”
“I’m afraid of seeing my father, my father will stare at me when he sees me, so I have to go down and let my father hug me. It’s not comfortable to sit, right?”
“Xiao Bei has something to say.
“Other officials don’t object?”
“Who dares? I made a deliberate mistake a few times, and I hope the Censors will impeach me.”
“Did they impeach?”
“No, if I don’t impeach them, they will burn high incense. , a group of cowards.”
“Why?”
“Because I dare to stand in the Hanyuan Hall, in front of civil and military officials, pat my chest and say, ‘I Zhang Xiaobei, I didn’t take a penny from the people, my Xiaobei will not compromise with any corrupt officials, I I have never done anything to harm the people, and my loyalty is shown by the sun and the moon.’ And they dare not say the same thing as me, it’s that simple.”
Xiaobei raised her chest proudly.
Xiaoyuan echoed next to him: “It’s a drop, it’s a drop, my sister said that the officials are not afraid of my strictness, but they are afraid of my integrity; the people do not obey my ability, but my father.” The
children have never heard of it, but they can understand, Nodding one by one, one person praised: “Sister Juanjuan is really amazing, she is so right.”
Xiaobei shook her head: “But after my sister said it, my brother said, ‘I would rather have someone who can improve the living and wealth of the local people tenfold. And the officials who embezzle the second and third ones should not be an honest official who will let the local people live a miserable life, and he can’t be happy too.’
My brother said, I don’t want the officials to see me as honest, I just want the officials to provide the people with warmth. , I don’t ask the people to obey my father, but I cover the winter children with duck down, ruin my reputation for thousands of years, and create a prosperous life. In the storm of abuse, I am calm.” The
children, for a while, were confused again.
“Hey, look at this shaking, but the old man’s bones are tossed to pieces.” Just as a group of children were listening to the story, an old man shouted from the hanging bridge.
Xiao Bei turned his head to look, suddenly stunned.
The old man on the bridge didn’t seem to want to shut up, and still complained: “It’s said that the Zhang Wang family’s clank construction group, the things they built are iron-clad, do today’s broken bridges also have iron elements? Eh, you can make me Terrible.”
When the children heard someone complaining that the Clan Construction Group’s products were not good, they quit immediately, glaring at each other, no matter how many people around the old man protected him, and no matter why he was not stopped by the people of the seedling protection team, if he spoke ill of Clan Construction Group no.
“Bi~ Grandpa, why are you here? Haha” Xiao Bei opened his arms first and ran towards the old man, Xiao Yuan and the others followed closely behind.
“Let grandpa report, oh, it’s really heavy, old, I can’t hold it.” It was Bi Gou who had just crossed the bridge. He should have died early, because Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan came, and he is still alive and well. , picked up Xiaobei and weighed it, put it on the ground again, put his hands on his waist and said ‘Old’.
Even so, the other eight children, Bi Gou, hugged each other one by one, and patted Xiaohai’s head: “What about your brother and your sister?”
“What about cleaning up in the county town.” Xiaohai replied.
“Grandpa Bi, what are you doing here?” Xiao Bei grabbed Bi Gou’s hand and asked with his face raised.
Bi Gou first waved to the guards behind him and told them to stay away, so as not to scare the children, then he said with a smile: “Come here to find your brother to fish, the fish in the water and clouds are too stupid, it is not fun to fish, I heard this There is a lot of water on the edge, and there should be a lot of fish.”
“The Hongnong flood is man-made, that guy Yan Zheng dared to break the embankment, which made me so angry.” Xiaobei pouted and muttered.
“Oh, that’s not right. I’ll impeach him when I get back to Beijing. I heard that there are people from the Zhang Wang family here, so I’ll come over. Are you here…?” Bi Gou thought Zhang Xiaobao was there, but he encountered Baby and a line.
“The county town is going to be rebuilt, and the children are in the way. I’ll bring them here to hide.” Xiaobei looked proud.
Bi Gou pondered. He had not seen the situation in Hongnong County with his own eyes. Before he came, he had only heard what others said, but he could not make an accurate judgment, so he asked, “Xiao Bei, tell grandpa about the destroyed houses in the county. How much?”
Xiaobei shook his head: “Not much, most of the county town is soaked in blisters, and the highest water is here.”
When Xiaobei said, he stretched out his hand and drew a position on his head, obviously telling Bi Gou, the highest water level in the county has already exceeded her height.
“Xiao Bei used his body to measure it himself.” Xiao Yuan added next to him, the so-called measuring with his body, naturally, Xiao Bei went to the depth of the water to make a primer.
Bi Gou patted Xiaobei’s head, looked at Xiaoyuan again, and said, “Since there is nothing to do, I think the county center will be built soon. Before I came, someone told me that Hongnong suffered heavy losses.”
Xiaoyuan shook his head first, then nodded again: “Grandpa Bi, it’s more than heavy, most of the county is still soaking in water, fortunately the rain has stopped, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous.”
Xiaohai also stood up. Therefore, the closeness to Bi Gou is not so obvious. He greeted Bi Gou politely and said,
“Grandpa Bi, my brother said that what is really serious is not what is happening in Hongnong County. In Luoyang, there are too many important shops for people’s livelihood, as well as some mansions with profound background.
My brother said that if he had a choice, he would rather the county town be washed away, the villages outside the county town remain, and the transportation of Honglu water is preserved. .”
After saying this, Xiaohai stopped talking, he didn’t say anything about it, and the other children didn’t add anything to Bi Gou.
Bi Gou pondered for a while and figured out the reason. Zhang Xiaobao meant that the county seat was washed away and the surrounding area was stable, so it would be easy to rebuild the county seat because Hongnong was a county with agriculture and water transportation.
The county town is nothing more than a temporary residence and negotiation place for merchants who turn around various items. If the county town is gone, it will be gone. It will not affect the merchants to change the place to negotiate business, and it will not affect the turnover of agricultural products.
“Xiao Bei, tell Grandpa, is it because Hongnong has lost too many crops, and also the various livestock and poultry mentioned in the breeding plan that your brother started later, also lost a lot.”
Bi conceived .
The severity of it, if the news from Beckham’s mouth matches what he thought, then this winter, Hongnong’s life will not be easy.
Xiao Bei nodded vigorously, but before he could speak, he started to cry, the sad one who cried.
It wasn’t until Bi Gou said a few words of comfort that he rubbed his eyes, smothered his mouth, and sobbed twice to tell Bi Gou what she saw in Hongnong.
When Bi Gou listened to Xiao Bei’s explanation, his eyes couldn’t help turning red. Xiao Bei said that when she went to Hongnong, she saw a vast ocean. Wang Yang Bi Gou understood that he had gone out to sea.
What Xiaobei saw was that the trees were slanted or fallen down. In the fields that should have been harvested in autumn, there was not a grain of food that was still growing. All of them were gone. Some were floating on the water, and some were not clear where they rushed. .
There are also private houses outside the county, some of which are still stubborn gables, and some are simply a village where you can only see floating wood crowded together.
The water is murky, and when you swim on it, you don’t dare to breathe easily. There are white foam mixed with straw sticks, dead pigs, dead dogs, dead chickens, a few ducks and geese looking for food, and even mice. floated up.
In some places, the stagnant water could not be drained out, and it became dirty and smelly. I have also seen dead people swollen several times.
“Grandpa Bi, if I didn’t know that this is Hongnong when I came here, I would have thought that I had gone to the wrong place, Grandpa Bi, do you know that? It’s not a question of how much money is lost, but how long it will take for Hongnong to recover. Come here.
The food around is gone. Everyone is crowded in the county seat. My family has a truckload of supplies to be transported here. My brother has given an order to hire manpower from the surrounding areas to deliver necessities to Hongnong. Water transportation has long stopped. Before the dam was blocked, a carload of stones fell down and disappeared in the blink of an eye, woo~.”
Xiaobei said and cried again.
Bi Gou gritted his front teeth in front of him. He finally learned the real situation from Xiao Bei’s words, that is to say, the foundation of the whole Hongnong has collapsed. If there is no corresponding strong measures, it will take a lot of Only the people of Hongnong can relax.
Years of savings are gone, some family members have died, their houses have to be rebuilt, and they will have to live in debt for a period of time. The most terrifying thing is that the people of Hongnong have just gotten used to planting new seeds from the Si Nong Temple, and they have just increased the yield per mu. .
It was just that I had just understood how to raise livestock and reproduced livestock in large numbers. It was the harvest year, and everyone knew that good times were coming. Suddenly, a man-made disaster came down, and hope turned into disappointment. , is the persecution imposed by government officials, and the wounds in the heart are the most difficult to heal.
“Xiao Bei stop crying, everything will be fine.” Bi Gou sighed, closed his eyes, took a few deep breaths, and touched Xiao Bei’s head to comfort him.
Xiaobei nodded vigorously: “I don’t cry, crying can’t solve the problem, I want to take the children in Lao Liushu Village, I promise not only to keep them safe here, but also not to delay their learning, wait. , wait for me, when I go back to the capital, take Yan Zheng back and see how I deal with him.”
“That’s good, Xiao Bei did the best.” Bi Gou did not doubt Xiao Bei’s words at all, he believed, Yan Zheng’s disaster is coming, and in the end, Yan Zheng must go crazy.
As for the specific situation, I still need to go to the county to see Zhang Xiaobao before I can understand. I can only hope that Zhang Xiaobao can turn the tide, support Hongnong’s affairs as soon as possible, and solve the people’s lives before winter comes.
“Winter is not easy,” Bigou said indignantly.
“It’s okay, it’s okay in winter.” Xiaoyuan said firmly.
“Oh? Why?” Bi Gou looked over and asked.
“Because, because we spent money, we paid more than 1.3 million of our pocket money in advance. My brother is mobilizing supplies from the surrounding areas, and several engineering teams near the building are also rushing here. The follow-up building materials will be delivered soon.
My brother said that this time, the people of Hongnong must live in warm and sturdy houses in winter, because the disaster this time was caused by government personnel, and the government cannot Losing credibility, food can be planted without food, houses can be built, and people’s hearts can be lost, it will be very scary.
Drain all the stagnant water within half a month, build a house within a month, and within two months, the people Lost livestock and poultry will be fully compensated, and the 6-way and waterway will be unblocked, and it will be better than before.
If there are not enough local people in the county, they will be dispatched from outside. If the number of people who come is small, the army will be on top. Even if it is contained in the mouth, the accumulated water must be drained out one by one.
To let the people of Hongnong know that the imperial court attaches great importance to them and never gives up. Only by doing this can the negative influence caused by Yan Zheng and his party of officials be eliminated.
”
Xiaoyuan told Bi Gou one thing at a time, with confidence in his eyes, as if what he said could be realized immediately, because the decision was made by his brother.
Bi Gou was stunned for a moment, he did not expect Zhang Xiaobao to be like this. Pay attention, of course, after knowing Zhang Xiaobao’s decision, he is also relieved, since Zhang Xiaobao wants to do it, he can definitely do it.
“Oh, you put pocket money in?
Is the family unable to turn around for a while?
Bi Gou was more curious about what Xiaoyuan said. Could it be that the Zhang Wang family can’t even draw 1.3 million passes?
Xiaobei waved his hand and said, “No, how can my family have no money, it’s me After coming first, I saw the disaster situation and promised the people that I wouldn’t need too much money anyway.
”
” Becky is really a good boy .
Bigou praised.
“That’s it .”
“Xiao Bei nodded.
“Forget it, old man, I won’t stay here any longer, go to the county seat, meet your brother, and discuss important matters with him. The matter here is handed over to Xiao Bei, I believe Xiao Bei can do it well.”
“Bi Gou intends to leave.
“No problem, see you Grandpa Bi.
“Xiao Bei held his chest up. When
Bi Gou was far away, Xiao Bei’s group of children continued to make dolls, and each one of them became more motivated.
Walking on the road to the county town, Bi Gou saw that pieces on both sides had turned into dolls.
The barren fields, tired of walking, stopped to rest, looked at the sky, and sighed: “There are more natural disasters, Xiaobao will not do this just to appease the people, why do you say?
”
Bi Gou asked the housekeeper next to him. The housekeeper was still young, he was the grandson of the old housekeeper, and he was still a young man. He was in his thirties. Because he just became a housekeeper not long ago, most of what he knew about Zhang Xiaobao came from other people’s mouths.
Hearing Bi Gou’s question, the housekeeper replied respectfully: “Master, is it Zhang Xiaobao who wants to make himself famous? I heard that the current sage specially added an autumn match for him and Wang Juan, but when something happened, it was postponed for one more time. Yue, with his fame, he has a greater confidence in winning the top spot.”
“Haha.” Bi Gou looked at his young housekeeper and smiled.
“Changcheng”, Bi Gou said the housekeeper’s words: “Xiaobao still needs the reputation of Hongnong? The champion will not be someone else at all, Xiaobao has always done things in a series of plans. If he doesn’t go to Hongnong in person, he will Let Xiaobei’s nine children do things, maybe it’s really just to rebuild Hongnong.
However, he came, and cuckoo came with him. You said that Xiaobao can’t mobilize the army by himself? Don’t just treat him as a From the point of view of the civil servants, when he was in Tubo, he had played tactical cooperation with Jujuan. Even if he could not command the army before, and spent every day with Jujuan, he still couldn’t learn a little? That was a fool.
How could Xiaobao be A fool, he doesn’t show his military talents, and it’s the same reason that cuckoo doesn’t show his economic and political talents, unless they are close people, others will have the impression of them as a philistine and a martial artist, and they will deal with them. When they are two, they will act against them.
They are waiting for the person who is going to deal with them to feel that the time is right, and the moment they make a move, they will let the other party know that Wen can change into martial arts at any time, and Wu can also transfer text immediately, is that clear?”
The housekeeper called Chang Cheng was frightened by Bi Gou’s words. After thinking about it carefully, he admitted: “It was really scary when I met him, but I still don’t know what difference Zhang Xiaobao came here in person.
” I’ve thought of a few points and I’ll tell you what to listen to.” Bi Gou actually didn’t agree with the new housekeeper’s ability so much, and the reason why he still used Chang Cheng was because he was loyal enough.
I really haven’t guessed Zhang Xiaobao’s motives for a long time. Bi Gou was a little excited for a while. In the past, he and a bunch of other old guys, including the emperor, the most favorite thing to do is to calculate Zhang Xiaobao, but every time Reported as failure.
‘Xiaobao acts, and antelopes have always hung their horns.
‘ Bi thought of this, cracked mouth smiled and said to the housekeeper:
“One, Xiaobao wants to let the Fan Metro Riding Camp adapt to the environment in the mainland of the Tang Dynasty. If I expect it is not bad, the other six battalions will also It will follow. The most terrifying soldiers are not only able to fight well in a designated environment, but also like their family’s seedling protection team. According to their words, it is an all-terrain, all-weather combat force
. During the war, they are not as good as those who specialize in water warfare, and in mountain warfare, they are not as good as soldiers who specialize in fighting in the mountains, and the same is true in the grasslands and deserts.
However, they are not much inferior, under the command of the same generals 1,000 people vs. 1,000 people, they will lose, but they will never lose badly, but as long as you add two more teams to them, they will be able to win.
The biggest problem is to command them .
Her general is not an ordinary person, but the cuckoo cuckoo who gave military lessons to the Tang generals. Outsiders gave cuckoo cuckoo the title of Mosha, because she killed a lot of people, and she was not soft at all, often killing people with a smile.
We The title given to her by the generals of the Tang Dynasty was the Demon Fox. They all said that she was as cunning as a fox. When she had the upper hand, don’t expect to win her. Opportunities can be found.
Therefore, they need to train the iron cavalry battalion. In the original place of Tibet, they do not need the current eight battalions to pass, there is no fighting there, and they have transferred eight battalions, and they still have troops there.”
Said After finishing the first aspect, Bi Gou stopped, and the housekeeper hurriedly brought him water to drink.
“Master, according to what you said, isn’t Wang Juan invincible? I can’t find a general in Tang Dynasty who can deal with her?” The housekeeper was not convinced.
Bi Gou waved his hand: “Cuckoo is not invincible, she also lost in the sand table game, even if she loses a few times, and she manages to escape, it is still a loss.
However, when Zhang Xiaobao cooperated with her in the sand table game as an adjutant, then she must be invincible, so we immortals, including the emperor, have been studying why.
”
“Master, have you researched it yet?”
The housekeeper was puzzled.
“The research came out, because Xiaobao was in charge of logistics and intelligence when cooperating with Jujuan. Many times it was Xiaobao’s logistics army that finally decided the outcome of a battle. When Jujuan could not break the game. , My favorite thing to do is to analyze the opponent’s generals for Juanjuan. As a result, we found that Xiaobao can actuate people’s hearts.
Juanjuan’s commanding skills, coupled with Xiaobao’s grasp of people’s hearts, have created an undefeated army in the Tang Dynasty. If they are allowed to arrange their military commanders in the sand table, they will serve as battalion commanders and captains. Or if it is the captain, then it is called a tacit understanding that cooperates with each other.
I have seen them once, and they have only fought once. When they were in the capital, with the same force, even one of the commanders of the generals was a seventh-rank military attaché. On the sand table of Chaodao on the east side of Shannan, it can be said that they were all elites. .
Cuckoo is the opponent’s main general, Xiaobao is the adjutant, and the leaders of the small team below are all their commanders. The battle was a change of color. You can’t guess that Cuckoo’s command is rampant. to what extent.
One of the generals is the soldiers of communication and liaison, and Juanjuan doesn’t make much contact at all. Sometimes she doesn’t care if a tactical order is given, and she doesn’t even ask where some of her troops are.
In this way, without any contact, Juanjuan led her people to cooperate beautifully one after another, and Xiaobao’s logistics team could also accurately deliver the supplies to every key place, and the generals played the same role. Only the power of parrying, there is no fighting back.
Have you ever seen a team of more than 100 people dare to forcibly intersperse between mountains without getting an order?
Have you ever seen a large number of anti-sneak-attack soldiers suddenly appear around the moment when the generals carry out a sneak attack after Xiaobao sent the logistics supplies to a place without contact?
”
Bi Gou excitedly said to the butler, and when it came to the exciting things, he danced around, as if he was the one who was directing the team.
The housekeeper was already dumbfounded. He shook his head blankly, and kept mumbling, “How could this happen? How could this happen?
” If you want to get a viewing spot, I will show you. Qiu Yanjuan will take the martial arts exam, and the generals will report their revenge. Jujuan will lead the team of cold weapons, and lead the generals with the same number of people. Our guns and guns will compete in Jiangnan Road.”
Bi Gou’s eyes lit up, as if he couldn’t wait.
“Use cold weapons to shoot guns? Why? Didn’t the Zhang Wang family make guns first? They are more familiar with them, so why not use them?” The housekeeper did not know why.
“Because Juanjuan and Xiaobao both said that weapons are not everything, teach me a lesson for the generals of the Tang Dynasty, let them not be too proud, it is better to lose on the sand table than lose in a real war one day.”
Bi Gou He sighed again that he didn’t mention why Cuckoo and Xiaobao could win the last time.
In fact, it is very simple. It just means that Juanjuan and Xiaobao will take their commanders at home for sand table deductions when they are free. It is estimated that they have used sand tables to deduce all parts of the Tang Dynasty. How to deal with each other’s personalities are also clear.
Therefore, there is not much contact at all, and the terrain and fighting styles of each other are already familiar.
“Master, I know the first point, it’s for military training, what about the second one?” The housekeeper also yearned for the autumn season to be able to see it with his own eyes.
Bi Gou stood up, moved his legs, continued to go out in the direction of the county seat, and said to the housekeeper as he walked, “Secondly, I guess it is to deter people from other places who want to make up their minds. Japan needs to pay something for this, and Zhang Xiaobao will be able to do it. Let it
go.”
“So there are still two calculations, the master is really good.” The butler praised at the right time.
Unexpectedly, Bi Gou didn’t appreciate it at all, and frowned: “I can only think of two points, but Xiaobao will never have only two purposes, he will never become more and more stupid, wait until you see him, you and him. By my side, then you will know how powerful his calculations are.”
Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan did not know the news of Bi Gou’s arrival.
The two have their own busy schedules. Zhang Xiaobao mobilized supplies from all over the world. As Bi Gou guessed, Wang Juan tried to make the people of the Iron Cavalry battalion adapt to the food and climate in the mainland of the Tang Dynasty when he was in command of the Iron Cavalry Battalion.
As for the statistics of the disaster situation and the verification of the compensation money, it is enough to arrange for the people in the inner courtyard.
They have been busy until the evening, and the two of them have no appetite for a big meal, even if they have the conditions to eat a big meal, and the people can only eat half of the usual food every day.
Zhang Xiaobao turned out the leftovers at noon, fried them with salty toon sprouts, boiled two bowls of egg drop soup, added spicy cabbage, and had a fragrant meal with Wang Juan, took a hot bath in a large wooden barrel, and two People sit at opposite ends of the table again, spread out the map, and study the next step.
“From here, the rails can be laid all the way to Jiangbei, so that Hongnong can become a hub for 6-way transportation in addition to a river that can be connected to the Yellow River. I used to want to lay rails here, but the cost was too high. Now it has been hit by a disaster, and the reconstruction time is just finished.”
Zhang Xiaobao pointed to a place on the map and said his thoughts to Wang Juan.
Wang Juan measured on the map with a slap: “Why not beside Luoyang, Luoyang can be the center.”
“Luoyang is already the center. For material allocation, only one distribution center is not enough. It will make local businessmen form a monopoly, which is not good for the entire Tang Dynasty. For a period of time, Luoyang’s economic status and even political status will be higher than Chang’an, which is not in Li Longji’s interests.
Transportation has always been a problem, and the most important thing is that there is a lot of coal in Henan. It is worse than Shanxi, only strong but not weak. The train needs coal, and the materials are obtained locally. At that time, a wharf will be built at the corresponding place on the other side of the Yellow River. The things will be transported from the railway to Hongnong, and it will be immediately converted into waterway, which can be directly transported to the opposite side of the Yellow River.
There is no way to build another bridge for the train. It is not worth it, the cost is high, and the efficiency cannot be improved much. The train line north of the Yellow River can go all the way to the northeast. The money will come from the three northeastern provinces, that is, the northern part of Hebei Road and the Hebei Plain. That section of track is best laid.
There is also coal in the Northeast. The most important thing is agricultural products and seafood from Dalian. If only using river transport is too long, it will not be able to prosper if the goods cannot be sold. In the future, the Northeast will become the concentration of heavy industry, with a small population and more pollution. Nothing.
As Zhang Xiaobao spoke, he had already picked up a pen and drew a line on the map, the one passing through Hebei from the northeast, the one he wanted to build a railway through.
Wang
Juan frowned slightly, looking at the line on the map, whether he was happy or not. It looks like a simple line, it is nothing more than taking money. Even if the court does not spend money, it is enough to rely on the financial resources of your own family. Of course, money cannot be produced by your own family. The
problem is not the money, but the smelting technology. Now most of them just use it They come to build guns, and some are sent to shipyards. The steel used for the rails cannot be handled, so where should they be assembled.
Another point is that the lines can be drawn straight, but the rails cannot be laid like that. In some places, there are mountains, which need to be chiseled. In caves, bridges need to be built in some places, and a lot of rocks are needed, so things like blasting rocks and so on will kill people.
“Xiaobao, no matter how advanced the technology is, it can’t prevent people from dying when building railways, not to mention the current technology is inferior. When we came to us, it was a long way off. How many lives did you plan to fill?
Wang Juan didn’t want Datang to reduce a large number of
people when there was a need for population and there was no war.
Zhang Xiaobao picked up the pen, suddenly smiled, and said to Wang Juan, “Of course I know that people will die, and I am reluctant to kill our people in the Tang Dynasty. I can’t be a pacifist in the world in my life. My idea is that if a dead Taoist friend is not a poor Taoist, I can’t come here in vain.
”
“Where is fellow Daoist?”
“Wang Juan can’t think of a place where people can excel.
” In Japan, the Japanese have an advantage, they are hardworking and hardworking. When they were defeated and surrendered, Japanese women could also carry heavy burdens, just like Korean women, they are all good people. .
”
Zhang Xiaobao stretched out his hand and pointed to the east, even if he pointed to Japan.
“Then how are you going to let the Japanese come over? I don’t feel bad for them to die, but they are not stupid. Can a fool come up with a future?” Wang Juan was even more puzzled.
“Xiaobao, Cuckoo, the old man, I’m here, Xiaobao, come out and meet the old man.” Before Zhang Xiaobao explained how to get the Japanese to come over, an old man shouted from outside.
Hearing the movement, Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan looked at each other and said at the same time, “Why is he here?” The
two did not dare to delay, so they got up and went to see Bi Gou outside the door. Now Bi Gou is still so tough, and both of them felt a sense of excitement in their hearts. Pride, they changed the time of Bigou’s life.
“It’s getting taller again.” Bi Gou also looked at Zhang Xiaobao and the two of them, the smiles on their faces never stopped.
Zhang Xiaobao also laughed, walked over with Wang Juan, and supported Bi Gou towards the house.
“Grandpa Bi, why are you here? You should stay in the capital once you come out, why bother going to the disaster-stricken place to suffer.” Zhang Xiaobao helped Bi Gou into the room and arranged to sit down. Wang Juan brought snacks and tea and put them on the small table asked Bi Gou.
Bi Gou was in a hurry and hadn’t eaten yet. He first picked up a piece of cake and put it in his mouth, and then blew tea and sent it down. After choking on a piece of cake, he felt much more comfortable. Fang said to Wang Juan, “I am in Sanshui County. I’m tired of being dull, and I’m tired of fishing between the water and clouds. No, it’s okay to look at your body and bones, so I came to find you to fish.”
“Don’t be modest, how can you say that your body is just right, you are young, you are young again, and then You will be 70 years old in a year, Grandpa Bi, you want to fish and wait, the dam has just been blocked, the water is still muddy, and the fish won’t come.”
Zhang Xiaobao followed him and picked up an orange to peel.
Bi Gou was not polite, opened his mouth to ask for a piece of orange, swallowed it with a smile on his face, and asked, “Xiaobao, if you come here in person, it won’t be a simple task of managing post-disaster reconstruction, right?”
“That’s it.” Zhang Xiaobao said no Admit that there are other ideas.
“Why do I think that Cuckoo cuckoo still has to practice the soldiers of the Fandi, do you also want to get some money from Japan? Could it be that the old man is bad for me?” Bi Gou asked with an air of victory.
The housekeeper next to him who had been with him had arranged the person to protect him, and also went into the house to listen, wanting to see if Zhang Xiaobao was really as magical as the master said.
Zhang Xiaobao smiled and said to Wang Juan: “Look, I’ll tell you, we can’t hide it from Grandpa Bi. With Grandpa Bi’s ability, we can’t hide it even if we want to. You still don’t believe it.”
“Don’t push me. I’m hiding something, but our Grandpa Bi is really powerful, and he thought of our thoughts as soon as he came, and looking at it, I guess Grandpa Bi will not be seventy next year, but sixty-five.”
Wang Juan followed the words and gave it to Bi Gou again. The tea cup was refilled, and he asked with a smile, “Can Grandpa Bi bring fishing gear?”
“No, wait for your two masters to prepare it for me. If nothing else is found, I will find that you are more and more able to fool people. Don’t think of only two points that I can think of, Xiaobao, tell grandpa, what else are you planning to do, and you are not allowed to hide.”
Bi Gou put on a sub-field and acted like a local tyrant, and began to carry out the investigation of Zhang Xiaobao. Ask for testimony.
Zhang Xiaobao put another orange in Bi Gou’s mouth, with a sincere expression on his face: “It’s really gone, you can see through Grandpa Bi with a little thought. Grandpa Bi is better than the past.
” I’m tired of staying in Sanshui County, and I’m not used to it for a while without people who fool me.”
Bi Gou was unmoved, and he didn’t see the sincerity on Zhang Xiaobao’s face.
“Well, there is actually another aspect. I’m not here. I can’t come back in vain. The reconstruction just happens to be able to lay the railroad tracks along with it, all the way to the north bank of the Yangtze River. A large amount of materials are transported to Hongnong by rail. A look, ah, it turns out that the railway is so convenient, it will be more convenient when the railway tracks are laid again, and there will be more people who support it.”
Zhang Xiaobao said one aspect, Bi Gou listened and nodded, then turned to look at his housekeeper, and greeted him. The butler looked like a really powerful master, and asked happily, “What else?”
“Also? What else, Grandpa Bi, I really can’t think of it. I’m here for disaster relief, not for money, no more.” Zhang Xiaobao refused to admit it.
Bi Gou turned his face away like a child and didn’t look at Zhang Xiaobao, which meant he didn’t believe it.
Wang Juan couldn’t help laughing: “Grandpa Bi, watching you staring at the dim sum, haven’t you eaten yet? Let Xiaobao cook two dishes for you, and you can drink some hot wine to warm up your body.”
“No, I’m healthy .
Okay, next year’s sixty, the dim sum is good, soft and delicious, and I can’t swallow, don’t tell me the truth, I can’t rest my eyes.”
Bi Gou’s stubbornness came up, and he turned his head back and stared at Zhang Xiaobao, that meant nothing. Say no.
Zhang Xiaobao spread his hands helplessly: “Grandpa Bi, I really believe in you, it’s clearly putting ducks on the shelves. Well, when you ask, I will come up with a temporary solution and tell you.”
“Not one.” Bi Gou Shaking his head: “Who doesn’t know that Zhang Xiaobao used a series of tricks to compare it with others, and it’s not bad to be able to think of three or two related things. If you Zhang Xiaobao didn’t come up with a bunch of cheating ideas, would you go to Hongnong in person? Qiu Wei? If there is a delay of one month, the cost will be borne by your family. One day you really did a loss-making business, and I guess I have already lost even the national capital at that time.”
“That must be said one by one.” Zhang Xiaobao is still so sincere.
“Tell me.” Bi Gou gave me an expression that really made me say the right thing.
Zhang Xiaobao pondered for a moment, and said: “In addition to what I just said…, there is another way to put pressure on the Japanese to admit their mistakes, so that I can increase the tariffs on Japanese exports, and at the same time promise that I am willing to sell them more Technical goods.
So that they can buy it back for research, but they can only use my Datang money, and the price is very high. They want to get more money. There are two ways. One, let me Datang merchants go as soon as possible. Japan has opened tourist attractions, and people from Datang have passed by, and it is natural to spend the money of Datang.
Second, sell more basic resources, such as silver, copper, high-end seafood, and sulfur, otherwise they will not be able to get it. Pay for our merchandise and go back to tinkering with technology.
In this way, I Datang’s plundering of Japan’s resources will be smoother, more convenient, and faster. Now that Silla can’t turn the tide, I will clean up Japan earlier, so that I can continue to expand and plunder more resources.
Otherwise, waiting for people in other places to become smarter and more powerful, and then trying to plunder, it will cause too many casualties in the Tang Dynasty. The oil we dug up, there are a lot of other places, even in the past many years, it is still very useful. , and will become a national strategic item.
Before
Bi Gou, who was listening next to him, spoke up, his butler couldn’t help but say, “I don’t agree with you selling technical goods. What if you let them figure it out?”
”
After he finished speaking, he saw three people looking over in surprise, and immediately lowered his head again. He knew that he had done something wrong, and he was not qualified to speak.
Zhang Xiaobao didn’t pursue it, but they were also kind, smiled and explained: ” Technology needs to be sold. Our Datang technology is a sequential exhibition. Many good technologies for the Japanese are actually outdated.
Outdated technology will waste a lot of materials, UU reading www.sonicmtl.com is not cost-effective, and some technologies have too much impact on the environment and human body, we need the movements produced by that technology to be processed by another technology I didn’t want to cause too much damage to my Tang Dynasty, so I had to let the Japanese do the roughing.
At that time, I will provide some technologies in Japan that require a lot of raw materials. Japan does not have raw materials, and some of my data are not available. Even if there are, it is impossible to sell them to Japan. They have to obtain them themselves.
I rented them boats and tried to get them to learn to make the oldest generation of steam engines, that is, to let them go overseas to find resources. When they arrived in a new place, they would conflict with the local indigenous people. Even if the weapons were more advanced, they would die. The Japanese can go to the front station, understand?
”
“I see, you go on.”
