Three Kingdoms: Marry Sun Shangxiang at the beginning

Chapter 588 Han River, Dahan Hydropower Station
All the way back to Xuchang, it was already the end of the first lunar month.

Steam locomotives travel much faster in the Central Plains than in the Western Regions, because there is not so much wind and sand, and the terrain is flatter.

But along the way, Liu Feng took Zheng He to inspect everywhere, which was delayed for a long time.

"Zheng He."

"here I am."

"Nowadays, the common people in the world only pay [-]% of their food every year. They can eat [-]% and sell the remaining [-]%. As long as a family works hard to cultivate the farmland, they can earn thousands of dollars every year."

"It's all thanks to Your Majesty. I heard that during the war in the Western Regions, merchants from Qingzhou, Yuzhou, and Yanzhou, as well as those military households and ordinary people, all enthusiastically sent food to the places where we recruited food. Many of them were If you sell one hundred catties and give fifty catties, we, the people of the big man, have our heart for the big man."

Liu Feng smiled, "It's not because of you. The corn, tomatoes, and peppers you brought back this time have been ordered to be published in the newspaper and told the people of the Han Dynasty in the newspaper."

"As I said, there are not many types of these grains. Only those families who have made great contributions to donating grains can get a batch first, and it is free, without paying for it."

"So these people are excited."

"Now Qingzhou, Xuzhou, Yanzhou, and Yuzhou have collected 500 million shi of grain and grass."

"In the past, even in the ten states under my command, there was not so much food in a year, let alone the food that the common people ration and the food can be donated."

"These grains are enough to supply the frontline army for a year."

Walking back to Xuchang, Liu Feng pointed to the west, "The first good news from the west recently is the battle on the Persis Plain."

"Zhang Liao and Xu Huang are like two killing gods. After slaughtering 40 conscripts, the [-] conscripts knelt down and begged for mercy, asking to be downgraded to slavery and continue to work in slavery for ten years."

"Now there are only about [-] soldiers left in the rebellion in the south. With Cao Gong here, and Lu Su on the sea leading the navy to help, the next time the battle report is delivered, the Persis rebel will It's over."

Liu Feng knew about Persis, and even the commander of Persis was Ardashir I, the founding monarch of the Sasanian Dynasty who inherited the territory of the Parthian Empire.

On the land of the Parthian Empire, the overlord of the next era, the Persian Empire.

But what about this?

Now that the situation of the Great Han in the Western Regions has been established, the Roman Empire did not immediately choose to rush to help the Parthia Empire, or take advantage of the fire and directly order all the people to be soldiers. Liu Feng still has an opportunity.

"His Majesty."

As soon as Liu Feng entered the sixth department, he saw a small official running outside the door with a report.

"Congratulations, Your Majesty. The Jiangling Mansion has achieved success. The hydropower station in the middle reaches of the Han River has been completed."

Liu Feng was ecstatic, "Really?"

He stretched out his hand to take the memorial, there was nothing wrong with it, it was written by Zhuge Liang himself, so it can't be wrong.

"Come on."

"Yes." Sun Jiao walked in immediately.

"Prepare the steam locomotive."

"No, bring my diesel locomotive over here."

Soon, Liu Feng got on the diesel locomotive.

On the co-pilot's seat, Yong'an, who looked anxious, was pulled down, and Mrs. Zhu Rong sat over.

"Yo, concubine, you want to go south too?"

"The Empress said, Your Majesty is going out to attend the establishment ceremony of the Han River Hydropower Station again, so you can't be alone by your side."

"Okay, then you can go with me."

"Wang Shuang."

"exist."

"You bring the Han Dragoons with you."

"Sun Jiao, Zhang Yi."

"exist."

"Take 500 people, and the front and rear trucks will clear the way."

"Here."

Liu Feng took control of the steering wheel himself, and there was not a single stone or collapse on the road at this moment.

For any road in the country, Liu Feng has traveled to the thirteen prefectures of the Han Dynasty in recent years. He called it to inspect various places. In fact, he inspected the construction of roads in various places.

Among them, there is a section of road in Jiaozhou that has been in disrepair for a long time. The head of the patrol post was beheaded by Liu Feng, and all the postmen at the post station were exiled for three thousand miles. There will be no more subsidence, cutting corners, and accumulations blocking traffic.

Because in this era, it's really about losing your head, it's not as simple as deducting points and money.

On the tenth day of February, Liu Feng arrived at the Hanjiang Hydropower Station smoothly and parked his car on the dam. Liu Feng was not worried about the dam collapse at all.

If thousands of tons of steel bars and tens of thousands of tons of concrete are still unable to withstand the water in the upper reaches of the Han River, then this hydropower station will not be repaired.

"Meet Your Majesty."

"Long live, long live, my emperor."

"Okay, all the loves are flat."

Liu Feng raised his hands and walked up to Zhuge Liang.

"Prime Minister, it's dusk now, so it can be activated."

"Here."

Zhuge Liang turned around and looked down the dam.

"Open the gate."

"Whoa."

When the turbulent river water gushed down, the waves that opened the gates to release the flood, like a white torrent, turned into giant dragons, roaring and rushing towards the hydraulic equipment below.

After just a few tens of breaths, Liu Feng found that the lights on both sides of the dam began to light up.

The electric light, which is not difficult to design, now stretches for tens of miles along the river embankment, all the way along the Han River, passing through Changbanpo, heading towards Jiangling Mansion, and one line along Xiangyang, leading directly to Xuchang.

"Wow"

If you fly over Chidao at this moment, you will be able to see two rows of lights on the Chidao connecting the north and south for [-] miles. Under the night, they illuminate the Chidao without stopping.

"it is good!"

Seeing that in the dark night, there is no need for torches or oil lamps, but also to have lighting. Surrounding the dam, hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians jumped up and cheered.

Zhuge Liang led a large group of craftsmen from the hydropower station, more than 1 people, and knelt down towards Liu Feng, "Your Majesty, fortunately, I will hand over the Hanjiang Hydropower Station to His Majesty for inspection and acceptance."

"it is good."

Liu Feng was overjoyed.

"Come here, pass the edict."

"Add Zhuge Liang as the crown prince and grand teacher, and reward him with a golden belt and a yellow jacket."

"Ma Jun, Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry, and a Bachelor of Jiawenhuage."

"Liu Ye, Marquis of Huainan, has three hundred households in Jiashi."

"The more than 1 craftsmen present each rewarded a hundred acres of fertile land and 300 taels of silver."

After a while, Liu Feng rewarded tens of millions of taels of silver.

But he is still happy.

In addition to coal and steam, there is now electricity.

With electric lights, there will be more electric devices in the future.

Next was the telegraph, the kind that Liu Feng could communicate with the Western Regions even after [-] miles.

He has now completed the great cause here, and the rest only needs the craftsmen of the Ministry of Industry to continue to study and improve.

But the war in the Western Regions is the most important thing.
