The story of Princess Lenggong's farming

Chapter 681 The Train
"That's..." Dabao said with a smile: "He not only took care of our Zhong family's affairs, but also more affairs among the people. Now the business is getting better and better, making more money than the darts he used to take on from wealthy families. A lot. In the past, he seldom picked up darts from poor people, who couldn’t afford the money, but now he couldn’t handle the large quantity. At first, he was dubious. Now that he has tasted the sweetness, he is convinced. Letters, those who send some clothes and silver, the amount is large, and the reputation spreads, and their Megatron Escort business is getting better and better. Plus, one pays three, the compensation conditions are good, and they have won the trust of the people. Now Megatron Escorts are also blooming everywhere. There are branches, and their bodyguards are paid well, and they need more people. They have solved a lot of employment problems, but it is a bit hard. Now that the business will become more and more developed, they will only make more and more money. Yes, the business volume will also increase..."

"It will be more convenient to have a car in the future, but now we can only make do with it, but it will be a matter of time..." Li Chenyu said with a smile.

"What car?!" Mu Zechen became interested, and now he respects Li Chenyu very much.I always feel that there are too many things in his head.

"Trains, cars, bicycles, and boats, ships, coal-fired ships, the problem of speed will come up in the future..." Li Chenyu said with a smile.

Dabao also became interested, saying: "...What kind of car is that?..."

"It's a car..." Li Chenyu said with a smile.

"I'm asking what kind of train is it!?" Dabao asked suspiciously.

Li Chenyu said with a joking smile, "It's... a power car on fire, haha," he laughed before he said it.

Dabao was embarrassed, and said: "You are teasing me again that I don't understand these things..."

"Fuck you..." Shen Sisi threw a piece of garlic to Li Chenyu, and said with a helpless smile, "Speak seriously, don't make fun of people..."

Li Chenyu was not angry either, and took the garlic from her hair, and said with a smile, "I obey!"

Mu Zechen also couldn't help laughing, and said, "Li Chenyu, only Sisi can cure you here."

Li Chenyu shrugged, and said, "Who told her to cook and hold my deathbed..."

Dabao laughed, pushed him and said, "Quickly tell me what kind of car it is..."

Li Chenyu put down the knife and stopped chopping vegetables. He took Dabao and Mu Zechen to the open space in the kitchen, took a stone, and said, "...it is a car connected by carriages, because the power is Coal, so it is called a train, it has a whistle, and when it burns coal, it will emit smoke, which is where the name of the train comes from. However, if this power is solved by other means, it will not emit smoke, but this is not an easy matter , It would be nice to get the steam train out first. This car can hold people or goods, as long as it is connected..."

He drew one by one on the ground for Dabao and Mu Zechen to see, it was very simple.

Dabao frowned and said, "But how do you drive such a car?!"

"Auxiliary railway tracks..." Li Chenyu continued to draw for them with a smile, and said, "The supplementary railway tracks will allow trains to pass through. From one city to another, the short distance will only take one to two hours." arrive……"

Mu Zechen's eyes also lit up, and he said, "If we help each other, wouldn't Dayu and Dongyuan take less than a month..."

"Of course you don't need to. You'll be there in a day or two. If you're going straight, you'll be there in a day and a night. If you have to stop on the way, you'll be there in two or three days at most..." Li Chenyu said with a smile.

Mu Zechen pondered, his heart pounding.If...the commercial routes become very developed in the future, then...the distance from Dongyuan to Dayu will no longer become far away.He and Sisi can also meet faster, without spending too much time on the road...

Li Chenyu smiled and said: "However, in rainy and snowy weather, the rails will freeze, which still has an impact. If it is not serious, you can drive very slowly. If it is serious, you can't drive. The weather here is long in winter. cold……"

It is indeed different from modern times. The modern climate has already become weird. It is not cold in winter and not hot in summer.It's strange, unlike here, it's really hot in summer and extremely cold in winter.And the days of winter are extremely long...

The crops grown here can only be grown for two seasons, but if the south is well managed in the future, they can grow three seasons a year.

In the north, only one season can be planted a year, which is too much of a waste of land.

Li Chenyu frowned and thought for a while. The weather here is indeed a problem. If you can't change the weather, you can only change the people.

Dabao frowned, and said, "But how much iron does it take to build a railway like the one you mentioned? Now iron is under control..."

"When the firearms from the firearms battalion come out, in the era of hot weapons, the iron of cold weapons no longer needs to be controlled, just to strengthen security, and iron can also be used for people's livelihood, only a little control on knives is enough, there is no need to be so strict... " Li Chenyu said with a smile.

Dabao had heard about firearms, so he nodded.

"It's just that the people are wild, and the auxiliary railway is not being watched by anyone. It's dangerous, but it costs people to watch...?" Dabao frowned.

Li Chenyu smiled and said: "It will be resolved at that time, don't worry...the ship will be straight when it reaches the bridge, so don't worry too much. Although the cost is high, we are not going to do it overnight. The auxiliary railway also needs to be completed." Things that can take decades to complete, and the steam engine has to be slowly tossed out, I can’t do it alone, I have to get people from the Academy of Engineering to do it together, I don’t want to become a scientific madman, I’ll lose some theory, Don't let them go astray, just do the experiment by yourself. When you get it out, you can set up a test site first. The railway business can also attract investment. It is too expensive to rely on the finance of Dayu's household department. Not so much money..."

Dabao nodded and said, "...that's true."

"It's really not something that can be done in a short time..." Mu Zechen pondered for a while, and said: "But now that the Academy of Engineering has Chen Yu's guidance, their work efficiency should be very fast..."

"Yeah..." Dabao said with a smile: "Sooner or later, let's take it step by step, but this train is indeed an idea..."

"There are also airplanes, but this project is too huge, and there is nothing I can do. I just leave the theory behind and let the teenagers experiment. With the support of Dayu's policy, they will work hard. With policy support and Without the guidance of the imperial court, it would be completely different..." Li Chenyu said.

"It's just the upward conservative forces, which is also a problem..." Dabao frowned.

Li Chenyu chuckled and said: "This question is actually very simple. As long as it can make them feel the benefits, they will not object so much. Qingliu's old school, the most important reputation, then give them a reputation and let them I also want to share a piece of the pie. The emperor and I will also find a solution to this problem. It is not a long-term solution for them to continue to oppose it. I don't want to develop and quarrel with them at the same time. It's so boring. Press it down as soon as possible It's the truth, but I don't want to bleed too much, and if I'm too stubborn, there's really nothing I can do about it. He won't be soft on his hands, but Mr. Lin Ge is very careful, and he is also very helpful to us, which saves us a lot of worry..."

Dabao nodded and said with a smile: "Lin Ge is always a successful person. He is more proficient in these things than you, so you should communicate with him more. This is the way of being an official. He knows more than you. ..."

"I understand..." Li Chenyu smiled and said, "This matter has to be done slowly, but there are so many things placed there, implemented one by one, these decades may pass by in a blink of an eye. It’s so satisfying to be accompanied by Sisi’s delicious food…”

Dabao listened amusedly, and said with a smile: "It would be great if you could help me. I would like to know what kind of scenery here will be like after decades..."

Shen Sisi listened over there, and was also happy. With the strength of Chen Yu alone, no matter how fast this development is, it cannot surpass the previous life. However, if the Academy of Engineering can be carried forward, it will be hard to say with so many people working together.

The most important thing is that Chen Yu is working hard to cultivate this kind of research environment, and legislate to protect it. As long as it is not interrupted, it is really hard to say how much this environment can be passed on.It may not be possible to really build an airplane...

Most importantly, when capitalism sprouts, the structure of this society will also progress.

If you want to change the status of people in society, you must make the society progress enough. If it is too backward, such a social structure cannot be changed.

Contemplative thinking, if one day, it is enough to make the people at the bottom a little bit dignified, although the aristocratic system cannot be abolished, although the royal power cannot be abolished, but at least the people at the bottom must be allowed to live with some dignity, and the children and grandchildren will no longer be slaves. A little human right to be alive.

In addition, Shen Sisi is not greedy, trying to abolish the royal power in vain. After all, this system has lasted for thousands of years, and it is not something she can change if she wants to. If she really wants to change, she must wait for the opportunity, which is beyond her ability.

However, she wants to change the living conditions of many low-level people in her lifetime.

In the future, there will be no selling of sons and daughters, no slaves, only commoners.That would be a huge improvement.

Change the ownership system to the employment system.Rich families no longer buy people, but hire civilians to work. I believe that in the long run, many social relationships will be changed...

After thinking about it, he breathed a sigh of relief, and continued to chop and stir-fry vegetables.

She watched the three men over there squatting on the ground indifferently, writing and drawing, chatting and laughing, and only felt that the future was full of hope.

Never thought that she could go this far.It's all thanks to Chen Yu.

It's also fortunate that he has so many things in his mind, an all-round academic master, an all-round science student, presumably Chen Yu must have also been a poet-reading idiot in his previous life.
