The heavens start from saving Daming

Chapter 403

The preliminary preparations are very important. Li Yunze personally took a trip to Shengzhou with many measuring instruments.

Although it is a primitive railway, the requirements are not so high, but it is still necessary to choose the route carefully for safety.

It's okay on the plain, but there are many plateaus and gullies in northern Shaanxi, so it's very troublesome here.

It is impossible to cross the mountain without that ability.It is also impossible to cross the ridge, and it is impossible to climb such a high slope.

The only way is to walk crookedly in the hard valley.

Fortunately, the trains were slow in the early days, and there was no danger in twisting the roads.

There are also detailed records of the rivers to be passed along the way, and the corresponding materials are recorded in detail. Back to the modern world, professional companies are handled to make plans that meet the productivity of the times.

By the time Li Yunze finished his work all the way and returned to Chang'an City by the same route, it was already the early autumn of the fourth year of Zhenguan.

Different from the constant natural disasters almost every year in the past, the four years of Zhenguan's Tang Dynasty had good weather, which can be regarded as a bumper harvest, and the price of Doumi in Chang'an City even dropped to the level of five cents.

With grain in hand, don't panic in my heart.

Feeling that his strength has grown, Li Er began to turn his attention to the Western Regions.

The Central Plains Dynasty has lost the Western Regions for too long, and it is time to take them back.

Li Yunze was not interested in the Tang Dynasty's war to recover the Western Regions. At least in this world, he was already tired of wars and only wanted to be a logistics provider.

The two- to three-year-old bulls in the ranch are ready to be slaughtered, and they are made into dried meat and mixed with a lot of cheese, which provides sufficient logistical support for Tang Jun.

At the same time, the pack horses and war horses also began to be slaughtered on a large scale, and they were directly purchased by Li Er to enhance the combat effectiveness of the Tang cavalry.

In addition, excellent armor and weapons, a large amount of bean cakes and oil, a telescope for almost every lieutenant, a brand-new cotton coat, a four-wheeled cart that completely replaced the cart, and so on.

With Li Yunze's support, Tang Jun's fighting strength has reached the level where he is not afraid of being defeated, but only afraid of being caught up.

Many commercial crops have begun to be promoted, especially soybeans and rapeseed, which have even begun to be planted on a large scale in various parts of the Kanto region.

Modern people are reluctant to eat more oil, because they are afraid of gaining weight.

But the people of Tang Dynasty wish they could have oil for every meal.

Good things naturally come one after another, but there are naturally still problems to be solved.

"Feng An still shirks and refuses to enter the court." When they met alone, Li Er, who had already grown a beard, spoke with a fierce domineering air, "Not only did Champa rice fail to find, even the promotion of sugarcane was tried by him. refusal."

Li Yunze asked simply, "What does Your Majesty want?"

"This time you are going to find the Spice Islands. When passing through Lingnan, bring me a letter and tell Feng An that my patience has a limit. If you want to be his King of Lingnan, then I don't mind pacifying Lingnan before sending troops to the Western Regions! "

Hearing this, Li Yunze only mentioned the names of a few people, "Li Mi, Wang Shichong, Xiao Xian, Du Fuwei, Li Zitong."

Hearing the names of these people, Li Er's face turned red.

He forcefully explained, "Du Fuwei died of illness."

The people Li Yunze mentioned were all heroes who ruled one side when the world was in chaos at the end of the Sui Dynasty.

They were all unlucky people who were killed after they surrendered to Li Tang.

Undoubtedly, at this time Feng An in Lingnan must be worried that he will be next.

Sensing Li Yunze's gaze, Li Er simply blamed him, "These are all orders from the Supreme Emperor, and I refuse."

"You have to guarantee it to others." Li Yunze simply spread his hands, "Otherwise, knowing that he must die, Feng An will definitely fight to the death. No matter how powerful the Tang Dynasty is, can it be killed twice?"

After pondering for a while, Li Er said decisively, "When you pass by Lingnan, tell Feng An that as long as he lives up to me, I will never let him down! If you break your oath, you will be punished by heaven!"

It's meaningless to add an official to a noble or something, and people won't believe it.

The only way is to use your own charisma as a guarantee.Of course, strong national strength and military strength are the real foundation.

"Row."

Li Yunze nodded, as if he had accepted the job.

"Wait until you come back and start building the railway." Li Er smiled. "After the work is completed, I will elevate the title for you as a reward for your meritorious service. Moreover, there will be other rewards for you."

"Another reward?" Li Yunze scratched his chin and left.

"Master, you are back." Back in Lijiazhuang, Wu Hua had been waiting here early.Qiao's face was full of grievances, "Why didn't you take me to Shengzhou?"

"Because you are fair and beautiful."

Wu Hua was very surprised by Li Yunze's response, "What do you mean?"

"What do you think I'm going to do? Touring mountains and rivers or going out in the green?" Li Yunze's education of hating iron and steel "is to work, walking around in the wild. The sun is shining in the sky, and the wind and sand are blowing on the ground. You see Look at this hand, look at what this face has become."

"Take you there? When you come back, you will become a little Kunlun slave."

Li Yunze is very clear about Wu Hua's plan, this is not to beg for not taking her to Shengzhou, but to beat the side drum and want to go to the South Seas to find the Spice Islands.

So from the very beginning, she couldn't be given the slightest chance to "study at home and be a quiet and beautiful girl."

Wu Hua, who was praised, held his smiling face in both hands, but after a while, he understood Li Yunze's meaning, and simply pulled his sleeves tearing his face, "Master, I want to go into the sea with you."

"Go to the sea. You are not allowed to say this word in the future." Li Yunze scolded with a straight face, "absolutely don't mention it."

Wu Hua didn't understand why Li Yunze reacted so strongly to this word, but he still pouted dissatisfiedly.

She really wanted to go out and see the world, but it was a pity that Li Yunze didn't give her the chance.

At the end of September, many people sent by noble families gathered in Lijiazhuang.

Li Yunze, holding a tin trumpet, walked up to the stage and greeted everyone loudly, "You all know that this time I went to sea to make a fortune. But there are all kinds of situations on the sea, and they change rapidly. There is no telling when an accident will happen and you will be buried." "fish belly"

Hearing this, Cheng Yaojin's loud voice rang out among the nobles who came to see him off, "If this is the case, it means their fate is bad. I will definitely not complain!"

"Yes, yes."

"That's it."

"If you don't risk your life, how can you get rich."

They are all honored with their heads stuck in their waistbands, so they naturally understand that there is no such thing as getting something for nothing in the world.

The more you pay, the greater the risk, and the more rewards you get, the better.

Li Yunze glanced at them, and continued to shout, "This time is not a military expedition arranged by His Majesty, but an expedition for treasure by a non-government organization. If anyone is afraid and unwilling to go, they can go home now, and absolutely no one will laugh at you. If you don’t leave, you will be considered as a member of the army from now on, and before you come back, everything in the team will be marching! You should think about it clearly.”

The thousands of people who were scheduled to go to sea were very quiet, and to be selected to participate in this matter, naturally, all the work had been done in advance.

As for Li Yunze, no one made jokes, or he really didn't know how to make jokes, but it was inevitable that he would be punished after returning home.

Seeing that everyone didn't say anything, Li Yunze simply waved "Let's go."

Those who can be selected are all young people or experienced middle-aged men from various families. Each of them rode the horse provided by Li Yunze, and with the imperial decree issued by Li Er himself, they left Chang'an City in a mighty way, all the way east to Luoyang City rush to.

Datang also had a household registration system. If you want to leave your hometown to travel or something, you will be arrested and punished if you don't have a special "talent" and "guo suo" (actually a road guide).

Li Yunze and the others are in the thousands, and all of them are riding horses, crossing swords and carrying bows. They say they have the power to attack the county. .

Fortunately, they had the imperial decree from the emperor, the documents issued by Fang Xuanling and the others, and the coordination of the official Ma Zhou and others specially sent to guide the way, so they hurried all the way without any major incidents.

The nobles these days are the real nobles on horseback, even the dandies in the family, such as Wu Yuanshuang, can ride horses.

It's not like those so-called honorable children in the world of Dream of Red Mansions. Apart from galloping around with their sisters, they probably don't even dare to ride a donkey.

Li Yunze often does this kind of running for thousands of miles in the parallel world, so naturally he can catch it with his hands.

It's just that the disciples of the nobles and their entourages (mostly generals, servants, etc.) are uneven, and many people are gradually falling behind.

There is no way, but to slow down every once in a while to gather the people who are behind.

Under Li Yunze's command, the entire team was organized in an orderly manner, completely following the way of military marches.

When the news reached Chang'an City, Li Er put down the paper in his hand and nodded slowly, "I knew it, he must have been on the battlefield."

Just stop and go all the way, stop and go, finally came to Jiangdu at the end of October.

Jiangdu is the city of Yangzhou, and it has not been many years since Emperor Sui Yang died here.

As the most prosperous place in Jiangnan, Jiangdu has attracted the attention of dudes.

With the effort of repairing, without the gaze of the elders, he ran amok like a dog having a good time.

At noon that day, Changsun Wuji's second son, Changsun Huan, Cheng Yaojin's second son, Cheng Chuliang, Fang Xuanling's second son, Yiai, Li Ji's second son, Li Siwen, Samurai Xun's second son, Wu Yuanshuang, and others were in the city. Hangover, when he staggered back to the camp outside the city, he was stunned to see that everyone had gathered and was looking at them with strange eyes.

The nobles basically sent their nephews, but they were all second sons, and naturally there was no eldest son who inherited the family business.

Because they are not the eldest sons who have received much attention and received strict training, these dandies used to make troubles when they were in Chang'an City, and now they are even more unscrupulous and crazy.

Sitting on the saddle, Li Yunze lightly flicked the whip in his hand, looked at the group of drunken dandies in front of him and asked, "I said before that we are here to wait for the sailors of the fleet to meet up, and we are not allowed to leave the camp, let alone enter the city. Are you deaf, or are you deliberately violating military orders?"

Of course, it is impossible to rely on these people from Chang'an City to sail a good sea ship. The real sailors still have to rely on a large number of sailors dispatched from the navy.

Here in Jiangdu is the place where the transferred sailors meet.

Seeing that the atmosphere was not right, Li Siwen, the second son of Laoyin than Li Ji, rushed out to salute because of his age, "I was reckless, and I felt exhausted after marching for many days, so I wanted to go to the city to wash off my body." The wind and dust, I ask the owner to forgive me."

"The smell of alcohol on your body is so strong." Li Yunze's smile remained the same. "Could it be that you have washed up in the wine pool and meat forest where you went?"

Laughter soon came from all around.

Everyone was suffering in the barracks, but you ran into the city to live and dream, and the most important thing is that you didn't ask us to go with you?

If you don't make trouble at this time, wouldn't you be sorry for your one pillar every morning?
Maybe it was the drunkenness, or maybe it was too much anger from the constant rush these days, over there Chang Sun Huan jumped to his feet and shouted, "You are just a county man, why are you dictating us! We just went to drink flower wine, so what! "

Li Yunze was a little surprised, he thought it would be Wu Yuanshuang who came out.

But it doesn't matter, whoever makes the first bird at this time will be unlucky.

Facing Changsun Huan's yelling, Li Yunze clenched his horsewhip tightly and stood up slowly.
