Li An attaches great importance to the construction of the underground passage in Beijing. This underground passage has a great effect on improving the internal traffic of Beijing. It can be improved as soon as possible.

Of course, in addition to the capital, there is too much traffic that Great Tang needs to improve. Roads are being built all over the country, railways and roads and bridges are constantly under construction, Imperial Court is responsible for major projects, and various local counties, They have also built roads within their own abilities, and even many remote villages have built roads.

For improving traffic, Li An raised his hands in favor and gave the greatest cooperation. He conducted continuous research on various construction machines to increase the efficiency of construction and make road construction faster and better.

Now, within the territory of Great Tang, whether on the Yangtze River or the Yellow River, a railway bridge has been built, the railway has reached all directions of Great Tang, the southernmost point has reached Jiaozhou, the northeast has reached Yingzhou, and the southwest has entered Shuzhong. In the northwest, it went directly into the Tocharian area, and continued to build in the Aab Caliphate country. It is the longest one. The north is also repaired in the area of ​​the descending city, and it continues to build in the north, so that the grassland and the interior can be better. Communication, so that the vast grasslands in the north can really be integrated into the Great Tang and become a part of the Great Tang, especially to promote trade exchanges, so that the nomadic people in the north can make a living without looting, and can also make a living through trade, even directly Come to Beijing for development.

“Minister Li, why do you look at the map? Is it too boring in the capital and wants to go out again?”

Li Yu asked Li An to get the map from her arms and asked.

This map is a World map drawn by Li An himself, and it is often modified. After all, the traffic on the Great Tang is changing, and the markings on the map must naturally change. Among them, the dark black lines It’s just a line of railways, and the black lines that are intermittent are those that haven’t been built yet, and there are some very thin black lines that are planned by Li An.

Li An said, “I ’m thinking about which railway to plan. The capacity of the railway is too tight. Some routes are operating at full capacity. It ’s time to increase some routes, especially the route with the most severe capacity. The pressure will be much less. “

Li Yu came over, looked at the map, pointed a line at random, and said, “Minister Li, from this map, there is a land connection between the Great Tang and America, why not start from Yingzhou and build A railroad that leads directly to America, so that America ’s large quantities of goods do n’t have to be transported by boat, just by rail. “

I have to say that this idea is really good. From the map, Great Tang and America do seem to be connected. In fact, there is still a strait in the middle, but the map is not clear.

“Prince of Guangping can really think that if this railway is built, it will be much longer than the railway to the Western Regions, but the pressure to build this railway will be too great, which will drag the national power of the Great Tang. The land is not connected, and there is a 200-mile strait in the middle? This is much wider than the Yangtze River. How can it be so easy? In addition, the north is all bitter and cold, and it is in winter. No one can live here because of dripping water. A lot of manpower is needed to build railways to go so far, and a lot of warm clothes and food are prepared for the working people. The cost is too high. Perhaps 50 years later, this national power.”

Li An said.

In fact, even after 50 years, Li An does not want to build such a railway, because this railway is really too tasteless, the construction cost is extremely high, and there is not much need, as long as there are enough large cargo ships, materials and personnel Stable transportation can be achieved without too much impact on commerce and trade. As long as the Imperial Court has a naval force, it is enough to control the ocean. Where does it need an additional land connection line, and even if there is such a land connection line, it is very It is easy to be cut off, so it seems to be a little more than worth it.

“After 50 years, we are afraid that we will not be able to wait for that day. I just feel that it is not very reliable to take a boat. 10000 is not dangerous when it encounters strong winds, but the train is different. After all, it is on land, even if it is encountered. There are good ways to deal with any situation, at least not to feed the fish. “

Li Yu said.

This idea is also true. Sailing on the sea, once it encounters howling wind and torrential rain, it is very dangerous. 10000 Once the ship capsizes, everyone on the ship will become fish food, and on land it will be dangerous, at least. Without being buried in a fish belly, people can walk freely on land, and their movement in the water will be greatly restricted. Therefore, the safety of walking on land is definitely higher than that on the sea.

Li An nodded and said: “In terms of safety alone, it is indeed safer to go by land, but the cost of this railway is too high, and the benefits that can be brought to Great Tang are not enough to offset the losses, plus The railways inside the Great Tang are already tightly transported, and there are still many railways that are not connected. It is most important to first solve the urgently needed railways internally. The railway to America can only be dragged backwards. “

Li Yu said: “Since Minister Li dispatched Fleet to discover America, there are now 500,000 people in America, mainly concentrated in the three major cities near the sea, and some are small towns near the mines in the interior. In the future, there will be more and more people. If there is not a railway connected, it may not happen. “

Prince of Guangping Li Yu is probably worried about independence. Far away from Emperor, it is easy to form a separatist independent regime. Once such a separatist regime is formed, everything that the Great Tang Empire has done is not in vain. Isn’t it a wedding dress for some people?

It is like the Great Qin Empire opening Lingnan, which consumes a lot of national power. However, due to internal problems, it is difficult for Ling to go out independently. Some people have made wedding dresses for nothing. If Great Qin can save the 500,000 Armed Forces that opened Lingnan, Perhaps the internal peasant uprising can be suppressed, and the Great Qin Empire will not perish.

Great Tang naturally wants to avoid such things happening. America is a big land. Both the climate and the resources are very good. Once the population reaches a certain scale, and the industrial development is complete, then absolutely have the confrontation with the central government. Strength, even once the Great Tang Central Imperial Court is weak, the great America power of later generations was only a colony of European island nations at the beginning. It was because of the development of a perfect industry, coupled with a large number of immigrants, it was finally announced directly After independence, they became independent from the European island countries, and immediately after independence, they formed a vast superpower, and fell behind their mother country.

Great Tang must avoid this kind of situation. From Li An’s point of view, if you want to avoid this kind of thing, the best way is to control the technology. Advanced technology can only stay in the Great Tang homeland, in America. On the land, you can have advanced machines, but you can’t have units for scientific research and manufacturing machines. At most, you can only have small workshops for repairing machines and ships. The workshops for manufacturing ships and machines can only be in the Great Tang.

America must serve as a source of raw materials and resources for Great Tang, and at the same time serve as a part of the market. Perfect industrial physical strength can never be formed, but there are few machines and tools. It is shipped directly from the Great Tang local area. America ’s local resources are transported to Great. The money Tang can earn locally is enough to buy various machines and tools, and there is no need to establish a perfect industrial system in America.

Not to mention America, even in the Great Tang, only a few areas have perfect industrial physical strength. For example, Jingcheng is the most perfect area. Secondly, Luoyang and Laizhou are also good. Luoyang is the auxiliary of Jingcheng, and the main system of Laizhou They are all related to ships and navigation. Other aspects are not at all involved, so as not to develop too well, which has overshadowed the capital of Beijing. Beijing is the core of the empire. The most sophisticated and most technical will naturally remain in Beijing, and the rest of the industry The system must revolve around Beijing.

America has 3 large cities close to the beach. These cities are all 3 city walls and one Harbor. Each city has about 100000 people living in it. The scale is not small, and it can be regarded as very large in the Great Tang. City, but it ’s not like the super-large city that ’s all, such as the capital. The indigenous villages in America have a maximum of a few hundred people, and almost none of them have more than 100 people. Therefore, naturally there is no power to confront the Great Tang soldiers who guard the city. The gap between military forces is extremely large, not an order of magnitude.

At the same time, Great Tang pursues the idea of ​​cooperation and win-win, and will not snatch the property of America’s indigenous peoples, but will negotiate with them, exchange the products in their hands with the products unique to Great Tang, or even directly hire these local indigenous peoples, Let these indigenous people work in the mines of Great Tang, so that there is more sufficient manpower to develop America’s resources.

At the same time, America can never form a unified administrative organization, such as the three coastal Great City, which are all independent counties. Not at all any leader leads 3 cities at the same time, so as to avoid a certain person from taking the entire America into the bag. In this way, America will face the risk of division.

According to Li An ’s prediction, America ’s territory is so large that it will be divided into at least 3 counties in the future, so that it can be easily ruled. At this moment, because Great Tang ’s control of America is still in some areas, it is not comprehensive control, so The number of states and counties is still very small. With the gradual increase of manpower and the expansion of the control area, new states and counties will be gradually established. With the vast area of ​​America, Great Tang will inevitably achieve rapid development.

Although a powerful superpower has emerged in America in later generations, the premise of this happening is that this superpower has a relatively complete industrial system at first, rather than growing up on a certain resource. It is difficult for an empire that solely depends on resources The fast-growing America is so big in later generations, there are more than one large country with huge area, why there is only one superpower, and the rest of the countries with large areas are relatively weak.

This is obviously a lot of reasons, but the most fundamental reason is probably because only one empire has a perfect industrial system, and the industrial output value far exceeds all the other big countries. Those big countries that rely on resources and a single industry naturally have no strength and have the entire The great powers of the system are confronted.

If the European island country was able to strictly restrict the industrial development of the colony when it controlled the mainland of America, let the colony only do some simple things, and all the necessary equipment was transported by the local, then the colony under their control might be It will not go out independently, but can provide a lot of resources for the local people.

Of course, the European island country in the future will face competition from multiple industrial powers in Europe. He is not the only powerful country. Even if he wants to control the industrial development of the colony, if the colonial people are determined to develop industry, they can also obtain equipment from hostile countries. Technically, in this way, the effect of the blockade will be relatively poor. Moreover, the hostile country must hope that the colony of the island country can be split, so it will spare no effort to support the colony of the island country, thereby reducing its own pressure.

The Great Tang empire opened America, and apparently will not encounter these problems. The powerful Great Tang empire is the only super empire, and the advanced technology is also unique. Not at all can rival the rival industrialized country, so as long as Great Tang The empire is willing to control America’s industry, so that America can only repair and produce the most basic raw materials, then America can only become a vassal of the Great Tang locality, never be independent, and never have the ability to resist the Great Tang local court.

Although America is in the same place as Shuzhong, and even more powerful than Shuzhong, Great Tang ’s naval forces are already strong enough to have very large fleets. America ’s coastal cities are far less powerful. The strength of these fleets, the soldiers and horses stationed in America are not permanently stationed. Basically, they will be rotated every 5 years, and the highest general of Li An will also be rotated into America without the opportunity to stay in America for generations. Otherwise, it is really easy to form the consequences of trees with deep roots, so, it is really very bad.

America is a piece of land that needs to be developed. There are also many discerning businessmen and 100 surnames who have entered America, but more powerful people do not care about places like America. After all, that place is too far away. Go there and buy an industry. Anything is not easy to handle.

If you settle in America, what is the difference from exile yourself? Beijing is the core of the Great Tang, and the Central Plains is the foundation of China. No matter how beautiful America is, in the eyes of many dignitaries, America will always be Barbarian Desolate Land. A piece of primitive forest that has not yet been developed. They are not willing to take risks to purchase property. They feel very unreliable when they think of drifting in the sea for more than a month to reach the opposite bank.
