Chapter 612

"This matter, let's go to the court to discuss this matter! Today, we are just looking at this guy who can smoke. Chugong, you mean that as long as there is this thing as power, then the car can run on two rails." Run?" It's always easier to procrastinate than to make a decision.With one word from Li Er, the matter was postponed to half a month later.As for what will happen in the Great Court Meeting half a month later, only God knows.

The civil official group seems to be monolithic, but it is too easy for Li Er to divide and disintegrate them.Any organization under Li Er's coercion will not last long like the ice and snow in July.

"Yes! As long as the railway, uh... that is, the two steel rails. Wherever it goes, His Majesty's troops and supplies will also go there." Yun Hao replied with a bow.

Li Er's thinking has always been domineering, and he was keenly aware of the role of the railway in the military right away.One of the most important reasons why the grassland campaign was so exhausting was the issue of supplies.

The food allocated by the imperial court needs to be carried by mules, horses, carts and ox carts. If there are ox carts, there must be grooms.For safety on the road, soldiers had to be escorted.Of the [-]% of the grain, only [-] to [-]% are left when it is transported to the front line.If it weren't for the large-scale planting of high-yield crops such as potatoes and corn in Guanzhong, the imperial court would not be able to sustain such a war.

After all, human consumption of food is limited, but horses consume more than two or three times more food than people.Raise the horses and feed them with concentrate, and the horses that charge into battle on the battlefield will not eat grass, but real food.

Human food plus horse chewing, the transportation volume is astronomical.Sometimes Li Er was afraid of how he survived that difficult winter.

It's different with the train, just lay the tracks.The train can pull a mountain of grain to any corner of the empire.Not only is the transportation efficiency extremely high, but the transportation time is also greatly reduced.For the Tang army, this is simply a great thing.If there are enough supplies, Li Er believes that his army can go to the sky.

"Railway, that's a good word. Pass the decree, and the court will set up a Ministry of Railways. Just let...! Daoyan be the minister! He is in charge of the railway affairs in the world, and the construction of railways will be a major issue for the court in the future. Yunhao, you have to figure it out as soon as possible." Cars that can pull goods come out, and there are railways but no cars!" Li Er originally wanted Yunhao to be the minister of the Ministry of Railways, but after thinking about it, it would be better to let Li Daoyan do it.It is more reliable for Yun Hao to tinker with good things. It is more reassuring to leave such an important matter to the clan.

"No!" Li Daoyan smiled, and a big pie fell from the sky.Any fool knows that the Ministry of Railways must be a fat job.From now on, all transportation in the world will be managed by Lao Tzu.

"Within ten years, railways will be laid all over the north and south of the Tang Dynasty. This is the court's top priority. No matter who it is, it must not hinder the delay!" Li Er announced to the courtiers with a solemn expression, everyone was excited.The emperor's solemn speech showed that he attached great importance to this matter.It is conceivable what will happen to anyone who hinders the development of the railway.

After finalizing the matter of the railway, Li Er lost interest in other matters.His interests are always utilitarian, as long as it is beneficial to his country, he will be very interested.It can be said that Li Er has broken away from all vulgar interests.Because low-level tastes are too easy for him to get.

Yunhao was a little depressed because the emperor wanted to eat at his home.Even though the house on the edge of Qujiang Pond, Yunhao himself has never lived in it a few times.However, it was still his own territory, and now it was almost filled by the Imperial Forest Army, which made Yunhao feel a little uncomfortable.

It is an honor for countless people to be invited to dinner by the emperor.For many people, being able to enter the palace for a meal in this life can be a lifetime bragging. "I think back then, I was in the Tai Chi Palace...!" must have been the mantra of this guy when he was bragging.

You can invite the emperor to dinner, and you are still forced to invite the emperor to dinner.That would be a big trouble, in case the emperor's stomach was ruined.It's not just a matter of food safety, Li Er's many loyal henchmen will put things on the line.Never give up until you put the hat of regicide and treason on your head.What's more, the Yun family is not without enemies in the court.

The cook of the Yun family has seen the world, others will be scared to death when they see Bai Qisi.But they couldn't be frightened by the cooks of the Yun family who had seen the big scenes, the princes and the like had seen too much.When the emperor came, he was just a relative of the princes.Calmly watching Baiqisi's people jumping up and down in the kitchen, pulling two over from time to time, responsible for filling the stove with fire.Labor that doesn't cost money, no use for nothing.

Many people think that the emperor has to eat delicacies from mountains and seas.But they didn't know that the Yun family entertained the emperor.It's just a pot of rice, four dishes plus a bowl of soup.With a small pot of grape wine, this is the whole lunch of the emperor.

Not only the emperor, but also the prime ministers and adults who followed the emperor to the Yun family for a meal.Each person has a rice plate, and the only difference from the emperor is that the emperor uses a jade bowl and a jade plate.And the prime ministers use silver plates and silver bowls!
Stir-fried ham and eggs, corn kernels, green beans, peppers, green vegetables and rice.The side dishes should be as delicate and not greasy as possible. People like Li Er have eaten them before.Even if you feed him lobster and abalone, it won't taste any different.Besides, people in Guanzhong prefer to eat things on land, and they sneered at the seafood that Yunhao coveted, saying that it smelled like the sea.

A plate of sauced beef is Li Er's favorite, although killing cattle is no longer illegal.But the imperial court did not make an explicit order, and the one who dared to feed Li Er beef in person was the [-] Duke of Chu.Li Er didn't feel offended, dipped the sauced beef in garlic paste and threw it into his mouth before chewing.Take a bite of the cucumber stinging skin, and seem to be very interested in the squeaking jellyfish.Another chopstick!The soup seemed to be delicious, and it seemed to be filled with fatty meat slices and recently-appeared vermicelli.I took a spoonful and put it into my mouth, and as soon as my eyes lit up, I started digging.

As if feeling emotional after eating, the silver chopsticks knocked on the jade bowl and said: "It is said that the Yun family is luxurious, but in fact I think it is exquisite. Look, the ingredients of the meal are so simple. But when they are made by the Yun family, the taste is just not good. Same. Just like this soup, ordinary white meat vermicelli, but it tastes delicious when you eat it."

Yun Hao nodded awkwardly, my God.The famous Buddha jumps over the wall, and you are a fan of white meat.Eating this bowl of Buddha jumping over the wall in Guanzhong is not even enough for the cost.

"Yunhao, there are not so many foreign officials here now. Tell me, what will it look like when the thing you tinkered with is developed to the extreme." After dinner, Li Er said with a cup of tea.Yunhao believed that this was the main reason why Li Er came to his house for dinner today.

Apart from the Duke, the prince is the one sitting here.The Marquis couldn't even touch the door, so it can be said that the courtyard was full of core figures of the Tang Dynasty.

"Now it's just burning coal. Under the action of air pressure, it can be used as the original power of many things. If we continue to improve, we will create a machine that burns oil. Then the size of the machine will be reduced a lot, and the places where it works will be much more .And, if a coal-burning machine is made, maybe there is a machine that can fly into the sky.”

"Flying? Like a hot air balloon?" Li Er stood up from his seat all of a sudden with his eyes wide open.The overturned tea soup slid along the table and fell to the ground.

"No, this Flying Apsaras is a real Flying Apsaras. It has independent motivation and can freely control its direction. If it is really possible to build that thing one day, it will be a matter of one day for His Majesty to go to Lingnan to inspect it. His Majesty wants to see this wonderful country , very convenient.” Yunhao flies the route from Xi’an to Sanya, usually three to four hours.In order not to surprise Li Er too much, he also has no confidence in tinkering with the jet.Yunhao felt that one day was enough to shock people's hearts.

"Good! Good! Good! Take the academy to continue your research. I'm only [-] this year and I can wait." Li Er excitedly paced around, flying to the sky!The dreams of many generations may really come true.

I have long wanted to go to the sky to see what is there.As God's son, Li Er felt that he should go and see some father he had never met.But hot air balloons are too dangerous, and I have to go up several times.The courtiers who prostrated themselves on the ground grabbed their legs, and even the eldest grandson was startled out.Under the gaze of the eldest grandson's tearful eyes, the helpless Li Er had no choice but to give up his dream of flying into the sky.

It's different now, with machines that can fly into the sky.If he can really succeed, his control over the empire will be greatly strengthened.The Tang Empire is too big, from the seashore in the east to the Western Regions in the west.Riding a horse has to run for half a year!Message delivery is even more unimaginable.

It will take a month and a half for the memorials from Lingnan to reach Chang'an.If there is a delay, it may be two or three months.The serious lag of communication means weakened Li Er's ability to rule the Tang Empire.If he had this kind of flying machine, he would be able to reach Lingnan within a day.The Great Tang Empire will be firmly in his hands.What a prospect!Li Er couldn't wait for a day, and now he wanted to go to Lingnan, or the vast and boundless Western Regions.

Looking at the huge empire under his control, there are many places that he can only imagine in the memorial.Li Er, who is full of grand plans and dominance, wants to see the real mountains and rivers even more.Instead of being like a tortoise, huddled inside this Chang'an city.

"No! Your Majesty! I will do my best, but there is still a lot of work to be done, and it will not be done in a day!"

"You can do it with confidence, I said, I can afford to wait." Li Er is domineering, although the words of long live are too dreamy.But for the three-digit age, Li Er still pursues it.So he gave up drinking under Sun Simiao's suggestion, and his diet gradually changed to light.Li Er really wants to live another 500 years!
Li Er left Yun's house full of longing, and the eldest grandson followed Li Er after conspiring with Zhang Miaoke.

"You are so calculating, you can make the Yun family last for generations with just this one sentence. Awesome! Awesome!" Li Daoyan is a bad friend, and he doesn't know how to avoid it when he is shirtless by the Yun family's swimming pool.Dugu Wanwan, who wanted to go swimming in the hot weather, saw Li Daoyan and ran back to her yard in a hurry.Even the tough He Lan muttered a few words and carried her son to the bathhouse.

"If you see it through, you can't tell it through. You are not a good friend. With your mouth, you throw everything out. It's also fortunate that you are the king, otherwise you won't know if your head will fall someday." Yun Hao rushed up from the swimming pool, wiping Lie down on the couch.

"That's true! Your Yun family has developed to the point where it is today. It would have been a big accident to replace it with someone else's house. I haven't seen Li Jing's house, and even the screen wall has been demolished. Standing on the street, you can see the hall of his house. Give it to me, brother I drew a big cake, as long as my brother still thinks about flying to the sky, I can't touch your Yun family in the slightest.

But Feitian is not a sure thing, so you will have enough time to split up the Yun Family.To ensure that future generations are rich and worry-free, sometimes I have to say that your calculations are exquisite. "

"Ha! What else can I do? Challenge the imperial power? I'm not so stupid. It's good for the descendants of the Yun family to live out their lives in peace. The power of the Yun family will never again threaten the imperial power. If there is Once it reaches that level, the Yun family will not be far from being destroyed. You can tell His Majesty that the Yun family has never thought of rebelling." Things that show loyalty must be done.

It is impossible for Li Daoyan to stay for no reason. If you think about it with your butt, you will know that this is Li Er's meaning.It is very important to test the Yun family's thinking, this is Li Er's usual attitude towards his courtiers.People who can be tempted by Li Er will probably have nothing to do.The most fearful thing is not to try, and what awaits you will be a thunderbolt.Such families are usually broken up and their wives and children are scattered.

"You boy, you're a monkey with hair on it!

The official business is over, now it is what we say between brothers.How the railway is built, His Majesty entrusted me with this errand.If I can't do it well, I will be too useless in the eyes of Brother Huang, not to mention the embarrassment.If something good happens in the future, can it be my turn? "Li Daoyan is a dandy, but he is different from other dandies, that is, he is humble. If you don't understand something, you will never be ashamed to ask. If Yun Hao said now, the dog who serves tea and water knows how to build railways. Li Daoyan Immediately ask politely, as for how to treat the master after mastering all the skills is another matter.

"Although His Majesty nodded his head on the matter of building the railway, I suggest that you organize some specialized personnel. Although the local labor force is good, but these laborers only have the strength of their arms and no professional skills. Give me the money, in case something happens after the train is opened to traffic, you will be the unlucky one. At that time, even if you find the civilian husband and kill them, it will be useless.

You can ask His Majesty to recruit an army.This army does not fight, but is responsible for repairing railways.This not only facilitates management, but also ensures the quality of railway construction. "
