The distance from Luoyang City to Ezhou is still relatively long, which is 1000 li or so, which is a few hundred miles away from Chang’an City to Luoyang. However, the locomotive is now speeding up, so this distance only takes half a day You can arrive.

On the way to Ezhou, the scenery you can see is completely different from the scenery from Chang’an City to Luoyang. After all, this route is north-south, and the climate is warmer as you go south. The types of plants are naturally different. .

Along the way, enjoy the beautiful scenery outside the window and feel the development of the Great Tang Empire Technology. This feeling is still very wonderful. At least Li An’s mood is very comfortable now.

“Minister Li and 300 li will arrive in Ezhou. The speed of this new locomotive is fast! It is at least 50% faster than the original locomotive.”

Guo Gan was sitting opposite Li An, looking towards the window happily.

As the brigade of the Tank brigade, he led the brigadiers at this time and was responsible for protecting the safety of Li Longji going south. All the tanks were on the freight trains behind, but Guo Gan as the commander was sitting in the Emperor ’s royal train. Of course, it is in the rear car, and the five cars in the front are all Emperor alone.

When idle, Guo Gan ran a few cars forward and walked into the small room where Li An was. As an important minister of the Imperial Court, Li An could naturally be divided into a single room, but Guo Gan could only Unlike some officials, they are crowded into hard sleeper cars that are not in good condition. The official positions are different, and the treatment is of course the same as impossible.

“300 li? It only takes 2 3 hours to arrive. Before dark, the train can definitely reach Ezhou. Today, we can see the Ezhou Yangtze River Bridge.”

Li An’s mood is also very exciting. Although there are many magnificent bridges that Li An has seen in later generations, in the Great Tang Empire, it was the first time to be unprecedented on the Yangtze River. When I thought of Emperor and the ministers, Li An felt excited at the shocked expression of the bridge. After all, this cross-river bridge was designed by him personally. He devoted a lot of his efforts to it and won the affirmation of everyone. There will be a great sense of accomplishment.

“Minister Li, this bridge built on the Yangtze River, must be very impressive. I really did n’t expect that I can build a bridge on the Yangtze River today. This is the credit of Minister Li!”

Guo Gan was excited and did not forget to praise Li An, which made Li An quite happy.

“The Ezhou Yangtze River Bridge is just the beginning. In the future, more large-scale bridges will be built on the Yangtze River and the Yellow River to communicate the connection between the two banks, and even going abroad to build a larger bridge on the big rivers abroad Bridge. “

Li An put forward a more ambitious goal, which is also a necessary means to promote the development of neighboring countries in the future, and it is also necessary for Great Tang to better control the surrounding countries. Only when the transportation becomes very convenient, can it be better The powerful armed forces of the Great Tang Empire quickly arrived in neighboring countries to control the situation in neighboring countries.

“Minister Li, this bridge on the Yangtze River has already been built. Should we build a bridge on the Yellow River first? The last time our army went to Hebei, it took a whole day just to cross the Yellow River. If it is repaired Bridges, at most one hour, all vehicles of my entire trip can cross the Yellow River, which can save a whole day. “

Guo Gan had some regrets about the last trip to Hebei to rescue Princess Great Tang. He felt that the Yellow River had severely restricted the actions of the Tank Brigade and delayed the Tank Brigade’s time.

“This is natural. In the future, Great Tang will build at least a dozen large bridges on the Yellow River. The reason why the Yangtze River Bridge was built first is because the rubber materials needed for the industrialization of Great Tang come from Rubber Tree, and Rubber Tree only It can be planted in the warm south, so it can only be quickly transported to the north by rail, so building a large railway bridge on the Yangtze River is much more urgent than building a bridge on the Yellow River. “

Li An explained.

When sending steam fleet to America to find the Rubber Tree, Li An was thinking about how to quickly transport the southern rubber products to Beijing in the future. Shipping and railway are the fastest way to transport, and the speed of the railway is undoubtedly much faster than By sea, if you arrive in Laizhou from Jiaozhou by sea and then transport it to Chang’an by rail, it will take a lot of time. From Jiaozhou, you will directly load the train and transport it directly to Chang’an in Jingcheng by rail, which will definitely be many times faster. The efficiency will increase many times.

After the railway from Jingcheng to Jiaozhou is unblocked, various materials in Jingcheng can be better transported to Jiaozhou, personnel exchanges will become extremely fast, and the status of Jiaozhou in Great Tang will also become higher. The sense of being despised will not be so strong.

However, at present, the Rubber Tree shipped from America is too few. In a short period of time, it cannot meet the large demand for rubber products in the industrialization of the Great Tang Empire. Fortunately, the larger-scale steam fleet has already gone. America, and in accordance with Li An ’s requirements, bring back more Rubber Trees. In this way, while breeding and transporting from America, the Rubber Tree of the Great Tang Empire will become more and more. After a few years at most, the Great Tang Empire will have Countless Rubber Tree resources to protect the future industrialization of the Great Tang Empire.

After talking with Guo Gan for a while, Li An lay down on a soft sleeper, closed his eyes and nourished himself to support his strength. After all, he will soon arrive at the Ezhou Yangtze River Bridge. When the time comes, it will definitely take a lot of energy. Accompany Li Longji and the princes to inspect the bridge and give various explanations.

The time of 2 hours is very fast, Li An just took a short break, Ezhou Railway Station arrived, and as the train stopped slowly, Li An was also awakened by the guard.

“Minister Li, Ezhou has arrived.”

Li An nodded, got up gently, and slowly walked towards the train, and went to the front of the train, waiting for Li Longji to get off.

Ezhou Railway Station is built on the north side of the Ezhou Yangtze River Bridge, and it is only a few miles away from the approach bridge of the bridge. As long as you get off the train station, you can quickly reach the bridge even if you walk, but the length of the bridge is very long. If you go to visit on foot, it is too hard, especially Emperor and many ministers are older fogey older. It is not realistic to visit the bridge on foot.

Before going to Ezhou, Imperial Court had taken this into consideration and dispatched a freight train in advance to transport the open carriage to Ezhou Railway Station in advance to wait for the arrival of Emperor and the ministers.

After Emperor and the ministers got off the bus, they got on the newly developed comfortable carriage of Li An. Li An originally planned to develop a steam car, but the noise of the steam machine was still too high, and it was placed in the ordinary lack of sound insulation measures. The vehicle is very noisy, so using the most original carriage, the effect will be very good.

The carriage is large and small, the largest carriage can hold ten people, and the smallest can hold four people. However, Emperor ’s royal carriage does not dare to ride, only one driver is responsible for driving the horses, and the carriages behind are almost full. .

“A big bridge! You can’t see the end at a glance.”

“Look like this, this bridge has at least 10 li.”

“10 li is definitely more than, at least has ten or five miles, even 5 li or so.”

“I, Great Tang, can now build bridges on the Yangtze River, so it should be faster to build bridges on the Yellow River!”

“Yes, yes, several such bridges must also be built on the Yellow River.”

When visiting the bridge, the ministers expressed various emotions and longed for Great Tang to build a large bridge on the Yellow River to communicate the connection between the banks of the Yellow River.

The carriage moved slowly, and after a while, it reached the middle of the bridge, which is the highest position of the bridge.

After reaching the highest point, Li Longji gently waved his hand, beckoning the carriage to stop.

After the carriage stopped slowly, Li Longji walked towards the carriage with the help of Little Court Eunuch, and walked towards the guardrail of the bridge, looking towards the wide river surface.

Li An and other Ministers of Imperial Court hurriedly stepped down from the carriage, and stepped forward to rely on it. There were also a large number of guards, followed along to protect against the dangers that might arise at any time.

“Ministers, who else do you remember here?”

Li Longji asked.

“Your Majesty, the old minister remembered that 40 years ago, Your Majesty had been in Ezhou and stood in a poem by Jiang Xinfu. At that time, the old minister was with Your Majesty.”

A minister said.

Li Longji nodded acknowledged: “Yes, it has been 40 years, I have not been here for 40 years, but I am more happy to be here this time, because after that, I do n’t need ferries anymore after passing Ezhou. By the way, you can pass directly from the bridge. Standing on the bridge to see Jiang Xin is completely different from standing on the ferry, and this is all thanks to Minister Li. “

Li An quickly stepped forward and humbly said: “Your Majesty, these all are This Small Official should do, in the future, This Small Official will also design and build a bigger and better bridge, so that the 2 people on the banks of the river 100 can be more Smooth exchanges. “

Li Longji nodded and said: “Minister Li should study it carefully. There is already a bridge on the Yangtze River. Next, to build a bridge on the Yellow River, near the city of Luoyang, Minister Li should plan well.”

“Your Majesty, rest assured, This Small Official has already been designed. It is in Luokou, but most of the technical talents are concentrated here. Therefore, the Yellow River Bridge in the direction of Luokou has not started construction yet, waiting for the technical talents here. After the northward withdrawal, the Yellow River Railway Bridge can be built. “

Li An said.

In order to allow the railway to reach the northern territory, the Yellow River Bridge must be built. This is a hurdle that cannot be bypassed. Only by building the Yellow River Bridge can the Great Tang ’s railway smoothly reach the northeast territory of Great Tang Imperial Court’s actual control of the Northeast region.

“So good, so good, the Yellow River Bridge opened as soon as possible, and what was needed was immediately transferred from the national treasury.”

Li Longji has made up his mind and wants to build the Yellow River Bridge as soon as possible.

“Dear Emperor Your Majesty, there is a Zhenzhu River in our kingdom. Although the Yangtze River is not as wide as the Great Tang, it also seriously hinders the travel of 2 people on the 100nd bank of the Zhenzhu River, which will greatly increase the transportation costs of merchants. Building a Zhenzhu River Bridge for our kingdom, the King and the 100 surnames will be very grateful for Your Majesty. “

An Emissary from a small western country asked.

“Dear Emperor Your Majesty, our kingdom also has a large river, which is wider than the Zhenzhu River …”

“Great Tang Emperor Your Majesty, our country …”

Soon, several foreign Emissary took the opportunity to request that the Great Tang Empire send technical talents to build bridges for their country.

To say why there are so many foreign embassies, of course, because Emperor Li Longji is too obvious, he thinks that since the Great Tang Empire has built a magnificent Yangtze River bridge, it should let the envoys of various countries take a look to make them better. Learn about the power of the Great Tang Empire.

These foreign envoys, after the Yangtze River Bridge, seem to have been deeply calmed by the bridge ’s imposing manner, and longed for the construction of such a grand bridge within their country to communicate the connections between the 100 people in the country.

Upon hearing that Emissary from all countries asked Great Tang to send technical talents and go to their country to build civil engineering, Li Longji seemed very happy. However, he would not just send technical talents for no reason at all.

It is possible to build large bridges for these small countries, but there are a few basic conditions that must be met. First, all the cost of building bridges must be paid by the country concerned. Great Tang impossible pays for them to build Bridge, how could there be a free lunch in the world, the second is that these countries must agree to a series of railroad construction requests put forward by the Great Tang Empire, that is to say, these small countries must allow the Great Tang Empire to extend the railway line to their country ’s Internally, and all interests along the railway line are the interests of the Great Tang Empire.

Only when these small countries agree to the requirements of Great Tang can Great Tang help them assume bridges and railways and help them develop their domestic economy.

These small countries Emissary immediately agreed with Li Longji’s claim. After all, this is what the Great Tang Emperor said. How dare they not follow, the powerful Tibet Empire is just because it provokes the Great Tang, and was defeated by the Great Tang Empire in a short time. After being destroyed, the strength of these small countries is very weak. The Great Tang Empire can destroy these small countries with a pinch.

Therefore, Emissary of various countries never dared to take Li Longji’s deliberations as true deliberations, but as a sacred decree, which is the indisputable Great Tang Emperor’s will.

Seeing that Emissary of various countries have agreed to their own claims, Li Longji is very happy, and agrees that in the future, technical personnel will be sent to neighboring countries to help countries build large bridges. However, everything should be given priority to the interests of Great Tang. The technical personnel of Great Tang can’t be busy, or before the Great Tang railway has reached these countries, Great Tang will not build bridges for them prematurely. After all, the Great Tang Empire is now at the peak of construction. There is a very short supply of technical personnel, and even satisfying the construction of Great Tang has pressure, and of course will not satisfy other countries in advance.
