Chapter 430
The ancients were not stupid. The mountains were cut down and bald. When it rained, the mountains collapsed and the soil was lost.

Although the understanding is not very deep, but the general good and bad can still be distinguished.

We all know the benefits of coal. The main restrictions on its use were the difficulties in mining and transportation.

In this era when traveling ten miles away is considered a long journey, it is truly difficult to transport supplies on a large scale.

For similar things, you can refer to the transportation of grain through the Grand Canal.

Until Li Yunze appeared, he brought advanced mining technology and tools, and built a railway line leading to the coal capital.

Those seemingly impossible things in the past, or those big projects that could only end up like Yang Guang if they were barely done, have finally been solved in a real sense at this moment.

The coal mines in Shengzhou naturally belonged to the imperial court, and Li Yunze's mining technology and equipment were sold for a sum of money.

But here comes the problem. The imperial court has mined a huge amount of coal in the local area, but the local area can't digest it at all.

Even if it is sold to nearby places, the shipment volume is only a drop in the bucket.

The real big consumers are Chang'an City and Guanzhong Plain in the south.

For more than 1000 miles of transporting coal, whoever transports it will lose money, but the only way is to use the train.

The shipping fee charged by Li Yunze simply took away most of the mine's profits.

There is no solution to this problem, because the Guanzhong area has a huge demand for coal.

The people in Guanzhong are already used to using briquettes and stoves, and a few pieces of cheap coal can be used for a whole day.

It can be used to boil precious hot water, and it can also be used to maintain the temperature in the room.

Moreover, the budding industries everywhere also used coal, especially Li Er forced the ironworks to be built around Chang'an City, and even simply stipulated that they should be built near Longshouyuan.

Even though Li Yunze repeatedly persuaded him, saying that it is better to build the iron factory next to the coal and iron mines, and the iron factory is very polluting, so building it next to the imperial palace is an act of sand sculpture.

It's a pity that Li Er was unmoved, saying that such an important national weapon must be under his nose.

What else can Li Yunze say, he can only run overnight to live in Zhuangzi in Lantian County, and never go to Chang'an City if he has nothing to do on weekdays.

In addition to these uses, large-scale construction of hardened roads also requires the use of a large amount of coal gangue and cinders.

The roads in Chang'an City are not bad, especially Zhuque Street is the pinnacle of roads.

But the problem is that Suzaku Avenue is a prestige project that has concentrated countless manpower and material resources, and there is only one Suzaku Avenue.

It is common for the roads in other places to be full of potholes and mud.

This is still Chang'an City, the capital of the Tang Dynasty.

Once out of Chang'an City, except for the excellent road leading to Lijiazhuang, the roads in other places are "covered in dirt on sunny days, and covered in mud on rainy days" and even when it rains, the roads are potholes that can drown people. Bad road.

In the past, the whole world was the same, so naturally no one thought there was anything wrong.

But since the hardened road from Lijiazhuang to Chang'an City appeared, he naturally began to have ideas.

Ever since the river dredging project in Chang'an City was successfully completed, Li Er has been thinking about road construction.

Until the opening of the railway, the supply of building materials for large-scale road repairs was guaranteed, and the large-scale construction of hardened roads immediately began.

When the train slowly stopped at the tall, majestic Chang'an Railway Station, those tribal nobles who were invited got out of the car staggeringly and with dull eyes.

It wasn't that Li Er fed them something they shouldn't eat, but that the shock and excitement brought about by riding a train, such an unprecedented steel giant, was too strong, and they couldn't accept it physically and mentally for a while.

Especially the train that got on after breakfast yesterday, and the sunset in the distant sky has not yet set, yet it has already arrived in Chang'an City? !

The unprecedented experience brought them a huge impact. Naturally, they were in a trance and couldn't adjust for a while.

When they got out of the station and came to the hardened road to Chang'an City, they stepped on the rock-solid but flat road leading directly to the city gate. Looking at the bright oil lamps on both sides, they felt as if they had come to Chang'an City. wonderland.

"Didn't he go through it once, have you seen it all?" Li Yunze tugged at Li Ji's sleeve, and motioned to Fu Yun Khan who was not far away, who was also in a daze, "Why do you still look like you haven't seen the world?"

When Li Ji took the train for the first time, he behaved similarly.

Of course, at this time, he naturally stroked his beard and smiled, "When he was in Shengzhou, he saw Tuyuhun people working in the mine."

"Oh~~~"

As soon as he said this, Li Yunze immediately understood.

As a Khan, not to mention the defeat of his own country that led to the destruction of his country, his former subjects were all sent to the mines as coolies. This kind of mental stimulation was indeed too strong.

Li Yunze looked at Fuyun Khan with great interest, and asked Li Ji with a smile, "Do you want to make a bet?"

Li Ji was not popular among the honorable group of Datang, because this guy was too insidious and liked to use all kinds of conspiracies and schemes.

In the past, everyone avoided him, and someone like Li Yunze who was not afraid at all had very little sincerity.

Hearing this, Li Ji also became interested, "What bet?"

"Just bet on when he can't take it anymore and commits suicide."

"Haha~~~" Li Ji stroked his beard and smiled, "But, I bet that he will commit suicide within a year."

Li Yunze simply shook his head, "I bet he will commit suicide after participating in the Daming Palace Grand Ceremony."

Li Ji suddenly came back to his senses, he extended the time out of caution, but it was a mistake.This kind of time should be as short as possible, because there is room for manipulation in this kind of thing.

Li Ji, who made a mistake secretly, did not change his expression on the face, "Where's the bet?"

"If I lose." Li Yunze laughed heartily, "I'll give you the picture of the female history admonishment."

Hearing this, Li Ji of Lao Yinbi couldn't hold back any longer, and immediately changed his expression, "You came here for "Luo Shen Fu Tu", are you plotting against me?"

Li Yunze swept his eyes across the past, "Want to repent?"

Li Ji really wanted to go back on his word, but it was a pity that the eyes of the people around him made him feel like a light on his back.

It's true that he is an old Yinbi, but an old Yinbi also needs face.

If you go back on your word in front of so many people, don't go out in the future, it's shameless to continue to hang out in the noble circle.

In the world of Tang Dynasty, there are not many things that can attract Li Yunze's interest. Those treasures that have long been lost in later generations are what he wants.

Of course, he only needs one time for the same thing in different worlds.

"Luo Shen Fu Tu" is a painting by Gu Kaizhi in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, and it is a silk book with color.

It is not a painting, but a long scroll of paintings similar to comic strips composed of multiple storylines.

It's the same as the comic strips that were once popular, except that each one is big and beautiful.

Since it is a comic book, it has a story. The whole volume is divided into three parts, which depict the sincere and pure love story between Cao Zhi and Luoshen with twists and turns, meticulously and clearly.

This is a classic love comic book.

In Li Ji's home, there is only one page, or an illustration of "Luo Shen Fu Tu".

There is no doubt that Li Ji regards it as a treasure, but now Li Yunze is following him, so one can imagine how he feels.

"don’t worry."

Li Yunze, who was full of smiles, simply stated, "Even if I win, I will give you a gift as compensation."

Li Ji gritted his teeth, "Don't use tricks."

Li Yunze looked at him as if he was looking at a sand sculpture, what bet I'll bet you if you don't use any tricks!

The nobles who watched this scene all the time looked at Fuyun Khan with pity.

When you lose a battle, you can simply kill yourself. Why bother to see why Datang is so powerful (Fu Yun Khan himself said the reason for being captured and surrendered) is now being targeted by two foxes, and he doesn't know how miserable it is.

Complacent Li Er, after returning to the palace, he received the news that Li Yunze and Li Ji had made a bet.

And Li Er's first reaction was not to complain about Fu Yun Khan, but immediately asked the servant, "How many volumes of "Luo Shen Fu Tu" are in my internal library, doesn't he know?"

Li Er was also afraid, he was afraid that Li Yunze would make an undeniable offer and take his treasure away.

It's like losing the Lanting Collection Preface.

It was really checking the door lock of the inner warehouse overnight, for fear that Li Yunze would miss it again.

Suspicious Li Er had nightmares for several nights in a row. In his dream, he saw Li Yunze snatching his treasure. It was miserable.

In more scientific terms, this is called trauma-induced dream disturbance.

In layman's terms, Li Er, who has lost the preface to the Lanting collection, has a psychological shadow.

Empress Changsun was very distressed, and even specially invited Yuchi Jingde and Qin Qiong to guard the gate to prevent the nightmare from disturbing the emperor.

When the news reached Li Yunze, he directly sent someone to deliver sleeping pills.

The emperor was extremely cautious when taking medicine. He had to go through many testing procedures, and a special medicine examiner was required to test the medicine and so on.

But Li Er didn't hesitate at all for the medicine that Li Yunze sent, and just ate it with water.

Sure enough, Li Er slept very soundly that night.

After waking up the next morning, Qin Qiong and Yuchi Jingde, who had dark circles under their eyes, were immediately sent home to rest.

Li Er, who wanted to be a Mingjun, was indeed troubled by insomnia.

After all, Hun Jun only needs to search for secrets at night, but Ming Jun has to deal with all kinds of affairs in the world besides searching for secrets.

Rao is Li Er who is physically strong and has been on the battlefield, but he still suffers from frequent insomnia.

Li Er, who took the sleeping pills given by Li Yunze and had a good night's sleep, received good news that day.

Hou Junji's place, after a long journey, finally arrived at the capital of Gaochang Kingdom.

He never expected that the Tang army would come across thousands of miles to attack his own Gaochang country. The capital of the country was conquered in the first battle, and even the king was arrested.

The famous Gaochang Kingdom died immediately.

In a good mood, Li Er looked up to the sky and smiled, and immediately ordered the Daming Palace to be activated, and held a grand celebration in the Daming Palace!
