Start a Ming Dynasty plane

"County Honor, Li Dingguo has left Lantian County, and is currently traveling to Chang'an County for a generation."

When Li Chaosheng came to the office in the early morning, Gu Zi immediately reported the latest situation to Li Chaosheng. Li Chaosheng nodded and said, "Let him go."

After saying this, Gu Zi said again: "There is also the county lord, the spies came to report that yesterday Cao Huachun brought a group of court ladies to Tongguan, and he should be entering the city today, do you think?"

Li Chaosheng thought for a while after hearing the words: "I know, let the Tongguan defenders not stop them. In addition, I will let Princess Changyu pick up these maids."

"Ah, sister-in-law?"

Gu Zi was taken aback, and Li Chaosheng said: "These ladies are all from the palace. Although they are young, it is inevitable that they have the idea that their eyes are higher than the top. Therefore, there must be someone who can control them, regardless of their status. Can I have a dignified life for A weak, and A weak told me yesterday that she doesn't want to stay in the boudoir every day, so I decided to let her be the female factory director of Lantian No. [-] Textile Factory. It won't make those palace maids feel left out."

After hearing this, Gu Zi was taken aback for a moment, and then asked, "Will this make my sister-in-law too tired?"

After hearing this, Li Chaosheng said: "It's just to do some management work, and I will also select two qualified factory directors and workshop directors to work with her. After all, it is always tiring to be my woman."

After hearing this, Guzi didn't say anything, and then talked about some recent work, mainly in Liaodong. This year's grain harvest in Liaodong is poor, which means that life is difficult for the Tartars, and Dorgon has withdrawn his troops from North Korea. , This is obviously ready to come to the Central Plains to play the autumn wind.

Thinking of this, Li Chaosheng frowned slightly. It seemed that after this year's autumn harvest, the Tartars would inevitably invade. At this time, Lu Xiangsheng returned home and Ding You returned.

Sun Chuanting arrived in Hubei, Zuo Liangyu was outside Tongguan, and Liu Zeqing in Shandong was useless. In the imperial court, although Yang Sichang was a bastard, he was still a bit of a real talent, but Yang Sichang was good at destroying the peasant army. You let him go head-to-head with the Tartars. It's still worse, except for these few people, the entire Ming Dynasty is either just a little more brave, or just doesn't understand, so this year is destined to be a stormy year for Daming.

Then can I take advantage of this opportunity to send troops?

Li Chaosheng thought for a while and shook his head, it's inconvenient, first Zuo Liangyu was guarding outside Tongguan, he sent troops rashly, or fought against the Tartars, what if Zuo Liangyu attacked him from behind?
You must know that you and Zuo Liangyu have a deep hatred, if you really have that kind of opportunity, Zuo Liangyu will definitely backstab yourself without hesitation, there is no doubt about this, Li Chaosheng knows it, and Zuo Liangyu knows it too.

Of course, this is not the main reason. The most important reason is that Li Chaosheng has no motive to send troops. The Tatars plundered Daming, not Lantian. He is only a Lantian county magistrate, so he can't control the affairs of Daming, so as to harm the interests of Lantian people. , came to rescue the Ming people who did not belong to him, this business Li Chaosheng was not willing to make money.

Unless the Tatars come to attack Lantian, then I can justifiably deal with them, but as long as the Tartars are not stupid or have brain cramps, they will never do the stupid act of leading an army to attack Lantian, and once they do this, Li Chaosheng I'm afraid I will wake up with a smile, after all, the Zuo Liangyu army stationed outside Tongguan, and they will be the first to bear the brunt.

The Tartars didn't care whether it was the Ming army or the Lantian army that stood in front of him. In their eyes, they were all enemy troops. Since it was an enemy army, there was only one result: destroy it on the spot.

At that time, they will bite the dog and reap the benefits themselves. Just thinking about it will make Li Chaosheng wake up with a smile, but according to historical records, the destination of the Tartars this time is Shandong, not Lantian.

Liu Zeqing, the current general soldier in Shandong, was unable to fight effectively, and was kidnapped by the Tartars with [-] people. In the end, Lu Xiangsheng led his troops and horses to fight, and finally snatched back [-] people.

Later, the Tartars attacked Lu Xiangsheng again. Lu Xiangsheng fought hard and died in Shandong. Li Chaosheng frowned when he thought of this. , but is Daming really worth your effort?

Li Chaosheng sighed, thought for a while, and said, "A military order was issued to Li Chaohu in Guihua City. The Tatars will hold the customs every day and not fight him head-on. After he enters the Central Plains, he will harass his logistics and disturb his mind."

Li Chaosheng said here with a sigh, that's all he can do for Ming Dynasty. Li Chaohu's attack on the logistics supplies of the Tartars can make the Tartars have scruples, and when fighting in the Central Plains, he also has to be scruples about the rear, so he can't use his best. , so that the Central Plains can save some massacres, and it can be regarded as being loyal to the Ming Dynasty.

Li Chaosheng couldn't help but sighed as he thought about it, now Da Ming has come to the point of disintegration, countless people have already had other thoughts, and the reason why Da Ming can still maintain it is entirely God's care, Da Ming has not been too big in the past two years However, in two years, there will be another military disaster in Ming Dynasty.

Zhang Xianzhong, who retreated to Gucheng, Hubei, will not be safe, and neither will Li Zicheng, who is hiding in the mountains of Shanxi. At that time, Daming will really be leaking from all sides, and there will be no way to recover, and there will be no possibility of rescue. It fell apart.

During this process, Li Chaosheng decided to be a neutral person, neither to rescue Daming, nor to interfere with the peasant army, let them fight first, and kill all the cancerous tumors in Daming's body first, someone will ask, does Daming have cancerous tumors?

The answer is yes, there are, and there are many, such as those scholars who are full of copper smell, those officials who fill their pockets only for their own selfishness, disregarding the interests of the country, and only know how to exploit, and those local landlords who suck the bones and suck the marrow. These people are the ones that Li Chaosheng will try to sweep into the trash.

Lantian can't tolerate them, the people can't tolerate them, and history can't tolerate them. They must be killed. If they are not killed, it will be difficult for the world to make progress. They are a group of stubborn conservative forces. Only by killing them all , then the world can be brought back to life.

In this regard, you can look at Lantian. Lantian is a very good microcosm of the future. When the local tyrants, greedy officials, and pedantic scholars are all wiped out, the world will be as prosperous as Lantian.

This is the detoxification stage. The old local feudal forces in Ming Dynasty are the toxins, while Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong are the dog skin plaster, and Lantian is the cleansed skin after the toxins are cleaned.

Li Chaosheng sat in the office and continued to work. Today's workload is still very heavy. The final approval of some projects and some special instructions need to be done by Li Chaosheng. Moreover, in a pile of documents, Li Chaosheng saw a project that he was interested in. This is a report submitted by Song Yingxing's research team at the University of Science and Technology.

A report on the successful development of the steam rail car and requesting government funding for trial operation.

"Steam rail car?"

Li Chaosheng looked at the report handed over, and soon became fascinated by it. The steam rail car is a locomotive powered by a steam engine and travels on a fixed track. Seeing this, Li Chaosheng is sure that this is not the train mentioned by later generations?
Unexpectedly, Song Yingxing and the others actually made the train. This is a great invention. The report simply explained that the reason why the rail car was not successful in the past was because the steam locomotive had a big problem. That is, the airtightness of the steam engine is difficult to guarantee. Until some time ago, the Institute of Science and Technology found rubber from coastal areas.

That's right, rubber. The Institute of Science and Technology purchased a batch of rubber liquid at a high price. Finally, after many times of cleaning and shaping, it became a rubber pad in the steam engine. This solved the problem of the airtightness of the steam engine.

After solving this problem, the first steam locomotive in Lantian was born. It has been tested on the 500-meter runway of the Institute of Science and Technology, and the effect is very good. Therefore, they hope to build a steam track with a longer length. Come to traffic.

According to the report, this invention may completely rewrite the living conditions and transportation methods of the people of Ming Dynasty. In the past, the people of Ming Dynasty used horse-drawn horses, which was extremely inefficient. If trains can be popularized, then the transportation capacity of Ming Dynasty will be absolutely There will be a qualitative leap.

And Song Yingxing said in the final comment that they have tested it now, and the train can drive six carriages, and six carriages can definitely pull tens of thousands of catties of goods, and Song Yingxing also drew a cake, saying that as long as the government increases investment for him, He is confident of creating a more powerful train.

I have to say that this cake is indeed a great temptation for Li Chaosheng. Li Chaosheng has long been dissatisfied with this world. It’s too slow, everything is too slow. It took half a month, but shouldn't this distance be reached in a few hours? Let alone going to BJ, even going abroad, it takes a few hours, and you can fly to the other side of the earth in more than ten hours.

Even if you take the high-speed rail, it will definitely take six hours. But in this world, it takes ten days and a half months. Li Chaosheng is satisfied.

Even if we can only build the slowest train now, no matter how slow the time is, we will definitely reach BJ in two or three days. This is the speed that Li Chaosheng wants, and it is also the speed that Li Chaosheng should strive to achieve in his life. Zhaosheng felt that his own efforts were enough. After all, for people of this era, high-speed rail technology is like the discovery of advanced alien civilizations on the earth. There are countless gaps.

It takes hundreds or even hundreds of years to smooth, catch up, and surpass.

Li Chaosheng knew that he should not aim too high. The train is already the direction that the world should strive for. For this great invention of Song Yingxing's team, Li Chaosheng still needs encouragement.

Thinking of Li Chaosheng taking a pen and paper to give instructions on the report, after the instructions, Li Chaosheng said to Guzi: "Guzi, notify the Construction Bureau to start the project immediately, and agree to the request of Song Yingxing's team to build a road from Lantian Academy to Lantian City. The trial run of the railway, with a total length of [-] miles, also notified the Ministry of Finance to provide support, and the finance should not be stuck. In addition, the steel used for the construction of the railway was handed over to Lantian No. [-] Iron and Steel Works, and they must use the best steel. The rest of the work, For example, if you walk through common people’s farmland, the political department will give you financial compensation, so we must give all our support to this matter.”

"Yes."

When Gu Zi heard Li Chaosheng's words, he immediately responded, followed by an order, and then Gu Zi looked at Li Chaosheng curiously and said, "Master Song, the track steam car invented by Dean Song this time is very useful? "

Li Chaosheng laughed after hearing this: "Of course, it is very useful. According to Song Yingxing's words, it is a great invention that may change the way people travel in the entire Ming Dynasty."

Gu Zi looked puzzled, and Li Chaosheng said, "Let me ask, now Daming, don't be Daming, what is the way for the people of Lantian to travel now?"

Gu Zi said: "Walk the short way, take a carriage farther away."

"How far can the carriage travel in a day?"

Li Chaosheng asked, Guzi thought about it, and it would only be two or three hundred miles without sleep and rest for a day.

"Two to three hundred miles, let me tell you, if this steam rail car is successfully invented, it will be at least a thousand miles a day."

"My darling, then our small area in Shaanxi is not enough for it to run in a day?"

Guzi exclaimed, and Li Chaosheng smiled, thinking that I haven't told you about the high-speed rail yet. People's high-speed rail can reach 350 kilometers in an hour, seven hundred miles, and thousands of miles can be easily taken in one and a half hours.

This train runs thousands of miles a day, and on average, it is only forty miles or twenty kilometers in an hour, which is not fast. In modern times, even the slowest freight trains are faster than this.

But in this era, this speed is considered incredible. After all, the fastest means of transportation in this era is a BMW. What is a BMW? If it travels thousands of miles a day and [-] miles at night, it is a BMW.

For example, Li Chaosheng's red dragon horse is such a good BMW horse, but at this speed you are in modern times, you can overtake it by riding a motorcycle, and it can be mass-produced.

So there is a motorcycle in this era, and it is definitely the fastest man in Daming. Unfortunately, the road in Daming is very difficult, and Li Chaosheng's current status does not allow him to be the fastest man in Daming.

Before Gu Zi could react from this speed, Li Chaosheng asked again: "Then let me ask you again, how many carriages do you need to pull [-] catties of goods now?"

After hearing this, Gu Zi thought for a while and said, "At least twenty or thirty cars are needed."

It is not a lot to put three or four hundred catties in a car. After all, the horse is also tired. At this time, Li Chaosheng said: "This steam rail car can be loaded in a section of the car, and Song Yingxing said in the report that the current steam engine power It can pull at least six carriages, that is to say, it can pull at least [-] catties of goods at a time, do you think this steam rail car is very useful?"

After hearing this, Guzi's eyes almost popped out, and Li Chaosheng added: "By the way, the speed of pulling so much cargo can still reach a thousand miles a day."

"I am grass."

After hearing this, Gu Zi finally couldn't help but swear, this is not a car, this is simply a magic weapon!
