858. January 18, ten years, rain

Although it is rainy today, the drizzle cannot stop the heat wave in Hongwen Pavilion.

A loud whistle came from a distance, attracting everyone's attention, but Song Beiyun did not turn around. He stood there to sort out the follow-up information, because this was not a cake painting conference, he needed to give details, so some content could be out of the manuscript and some numbers could not make any mistakes.

The locomotive is gradually approaching. In this era, it is like a giant beast that broke into the ancient wasteland. Its head is steaming with steaming heat and is rushing to everyone with an unyielding aura.

In order to see its true appearance, many people rushed to the low wall. When they saw it from far to near, most of the people were filled with fear.

It is too big, so big that a person stands next to him like a doll, and it is too long, so it seems to have no edges.

The occasional explosion of the boiler and the roar of the rails all tell everyone its hugeness and heavyness.

The things dragged behind it were even more unimaginable in the past. Even the largest caravan in Jinling was not as good as one of its ones. Even so, it could still have stable and impressive speed that horses could not reach.

Some people excitedly called it a "fire dragon" and waved their arms happily at it, as if they saw Yinglong when Dayu controlled the flood and the giant turtle when Nuwa repaired the sky.

Some people were frightened by its terrifying figure and their legs became weak until they couldn't stand, and they kept screaming at the monsters and monsters.

But no matter what kind of emotions he had about it, it went forward in an unyielding manner, throwing the people behind him out of a huge part. And what it carries is not so much a commodity, but rather a microcosm of an era. Whether it is the pile of grain or the exquisitely crafted clothes, it tells the people present that the world was far away after all, and they will face a new era.

The train left quickly, but people were still excited or frightened. They were talking a lot about what the giant beast could do. But let alone them, even Xu Xiake, five hundred years later, could only imagine swimming in the blue sea and the evening Cangwu.

But now, the flower of ideals is finally blooming before your eyes. It does not carry the hope of a certain person, but more of the dream of a nation.

Song Beiyun looked back at the train that was leaving, supported his hands on the platform, and looked up and saw Lao Zhang, the Ministry of Works, crying loudly while holding the low wall.

The old man in his sixties cried like a child of three or five years old. There were also a group of white-haired people standing together, some crying and standing with their hands behind their backs, some staring at the sky and pretending to be arrogant.

The moonlight was still the teenager's moonlight, but the frost on his head was stained with Li Bai's frost.

January 18, 10, the New Calendar is destined to be a time point that will be recorded in history. On this day, the first steam-powered locomotive in human history officially entered the trial operation stage in the capital of Song State, which marked that history was divided into two stages on this day, and the history from this day to the future will be called modern and modern history.

This question is required.

In ten years, millions of people have fought for it, and from today on, the world will be shocked by China and the Chinese nation. This is the general trend. Anyone who blocks the mantis arm will be a gangster who is in a chariot. They will be shattered by the turbulent waves on the embankment along the way, leaving no room for space.

The restlessness of the crowd gradually subsided, and when people recalled the grand occasion just now, they began to slowly return to their position.

At this time, Song Beiyun raised his head and looked around again, and smiled and said, "Yes, the old saying is false and the eyes are true. I don't say a hundred words to make you shocked at a glance."

There was a laugh from the audience. During this period, someone took the lead in applauding. Soon the applause spread, like the wind and thunder, which lasted for a long time.

"Once upon a time." Song Beiyun stretched out his hands and pressed: "Fathers and ancestors, they attributed everything they had to the gift of God. But now, all the credits and achievements will be attributed to the Song Dynasty, to China, to each of you. I don't want to mention it in the past ten years, because there are still hundreds, thousands, tens of thousands, and tens of thousands, waiting ahead in the future. May my China be immortal for thousands of years."

Song Beiyun doesn't have that many speech skills, and his emotions are much calmer than Zhao Xing, but it is precisely this kind of calmness that lacks some emotional tension, but the reliability and confidence brought by calmness cannot be brought by high emotions.

As soon as this sentence came out, the scene that was already slightly calmer was immediately ignited again.

People raised their arms wildly and shouted long live, but this time there was no word "Huang Emperor" because "Huang Emperor" himself was also shouting long live in it.

It is no exaggeration to say that if Song Beiyun shouted at this time that there would never be a savior or a god or an immortal emperor, at least 80% of the people here would follow him to order the palace.

After the extreme excitement calmed down slightly, Song Beiyun coughed and continued, "Okay, don't be impatient. Next, I will summarize the data changes in the past ten years and the plans for the next ten years for all pillars."

When he said this, someone next to Ding Xiang came over and whispered: "Prime Minister, such a military and national event... Is there something here... If outsiders listen, what should I do?"

Ding Xiang glanced at the man: "Which yamen are you from?"

"The lower official is... it is Hanlin Academy..."

Before he finished speaking, Ding Xiang waved his hand impatiently: "You go to the Shangshu Province tomorrow to get a resignation and go back to farm."

Ding Xiang didn't want to explain too much to these vulgar people, just because they were not worthy of being an official, and even more worthy of this prosperous era of flowers. These people are moldy ideas on wood, which makes people disgusting, and if they are not shoveled away, they may even harm them.

Because this is natural. If a Hanlin doesn't even know what it means to strike while the iron is hot and is still dealing with things with such a small islander's mentality, it's better to go back and farm early.

Don’t think that Lao Ding is a good person. Among the people who have the position of prime minister, the best person to speak is Song Beiyun, the devil who can’t rub the sand in his eyes. Even Yan Shu is still the one who can’t rub the sand in his eyes.

But there are too many mediocre people. They always think that the old Ding is easy to get along with. In fact, on the contrary, Song Beiyun has never punished anyone because of a certain person's words. He has never pursued anyone who blocked his door and beat drums and scolded Song in those years.

At this moment, Song Beiyun, who was above, had already begun to report the data.

These data are not confidential, but it is exactly what should be published most, the comparison of grain output, urban population, industrial output and per capita income, which is exactly the most intuitive thing that reflects the new and old eras, and the most intuitive manifestation of reform.

These data are amazing, because whether it is the Qin, Han, Han, Three Kingdoms, Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, or the Sui, Tang, Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, or even the first fifty-five years of the Song Dynasty, the people almost came over hungry, relying on the heavens to make their lives and fortunes to make their lives.

No emperor dared to pat his chest to ensure that he would not starve to death.

But now, the data has been shown on everyone's face. Since the sixth year of the New Calendar, it has experienced a series of disasters such as drought, plague, flood, ice, locust plague, earthquake, etc., which can be said to be a series of disasters. Some years have indeed lived a tight life, but at least one thing is that no one died of hunger.

The world has been going back and forth for thousands of years. If this is not the best era, then when will it be?

It is hard to say in the future. Maybe every day will be the best time, but if you move forward, you can make a final decision.

After the seventh year of the New Calendar, there were no mutinies, civil wars and rebellions, no folk demons, and no religions gathered to make trouble. Agriculture and industry were rushing forward. The emergence of new crops, newly cultivated seeds and fertilizers made food grow several times, and industry blossomed everywhere. With the vigorous development of basic science, a large amount of funds poured into the scientific field, and all kinds of things that made predecessors unbelievable were surging out, showing a blowout trend.

There are already ten universities that have been formed, and there are still large colleges that are almost twice as many as this number. At that time, there will be more disciplines and the social division of labor will be clearer.

In other aspects, the most intuitive manifestation is that the current laws have more than 700 more legal details than the Tang laws that the Song Dynasty has been following, and this is the result of specific deletion and consideration.

The Censorate investigates more than 400 cases of favoritism and abuse of laws and regulations every year, and the average number of people involved in the case is handled every year.

The rigor and tolerance of the law are truly reflected in the people's food, clothing, housing and transportation. They have even requested the first stage of the Legalist influence and are gradually entering the stage of a rule of law society.

Although it may take fifty years or even longer to complete the transformation of society, in the near future, more young and promising people will definitely usher in an unprecedented transformation.

Song Beiyun gradually completed his report content. Many people took notes and recorded nearly half of them. As for whether there were spies from other countries, it didn't matter at all, because what can be said here has been screened, and about 30% of the military production capacity has not been mentioned at all.

Just as the report was approaching, the train returned from the other end.

At this time, Song Beiyun also began to report on the next ten years. This is the content that Zhao Xing cares about the most and is most anticipated.

It was the first time that even Zhao Xing heard many of the details.

First, we will concentrate our efforts to build a strong industrial and agricultural system, accelerate the agricultural transformation process, focus on the overall construction level of steel, military industry, basic industry and transportation, and continue to complete the education policy formulated in the previous decade, improve the construction of basic education, and strive to reduce the illiteracy rate from the current nine cities to less than 30% in the 20th year.

If you think about the details here, as long as someone is willing to take the lead and take advantage of this east wind, you will not be able to make a fortune.

First of all, in agriculture, this may be the first time in human history that scientific breeding and planting have been put into plan, and this includes improving varieties of animals and plants, introducing new varieties, etc., which are the main development contents in the next ten years.

First, five grain-producing areas in Jiangxi, Hunan, Anhui, Jiangsu and Zhejiang were determined, and a special team will be gathered to travel to the original Jin Kingdom to open up the far north. In ten years, the barren land will be transformed into Jiangnan, the Fortress.

In terms of transportation, it is mainly railway construction. At this stage, blindly building highways is obviously not worth the loss. Because the transportation efficiency is very low, the railway is actually the optimal solution.

During the first phase of construction, it will gradually be built into two horizontal and one vertical railway lines, with two transportation hubs in Zhengzhou and Xuzhou respectively.

Although many people do not understand why there will be a share of the Liao Kingdom, they dare not question Song Beiyun. Anyone who dares to scold a traitor or beheaded will be light, and they may have to be eaten by life on the spot.

The two horizontal and vertical railways are along the railway, from Lianyungang to the east, Datong to the north, Yumen Pass to the west, and Zhangzhou to the south. After completion, it only takes two or three days from Chang'an to Yumen Pass. It was originally a two-month journey for ordinary people to travel from Jinling to Zhangzhou, but now it can be reached in three to four days.

If you smell business opportunities here, you really deserve to make a fortune. If you are exaggerating about the project, you can earn a lot of money by cooking for the engineering team in a year.

There is another obscure content here, that is, the Bashu land is still in the game venue between the southwest kings, but the Bashu land will also be developed on a certain scale in the next ten years.

But here Song Beiyun did not say it clearly, but just vaguely sent out a signal, one was to give the local emperors a vaccination, and the other was to hope that they would not have a confrontational sentiment. Otherwise, once the implementation of the overall plan was hindered, they would not be as simple as sinners of the Chinese nation.

Of course, Song Beiyun, on the Tubo side, was also greedy, but he didn't mention it here, because as far as the current conditions are concerned, the loss of plateau combat cannot be afforded, and if you say too much, it will cause international disputes. But from his tone, it can be seen that in the near future, he will have to turn the Tubo country since ancient times.

This incident actually caused panic among the Tubo envoys, but before they could go back and report the situation, they were blocked by the people from the Imperial City Division and invited them to have tea.

They went out nervously, like spring breeze, and no one said anything and did nothing. After all, who could reject a prosperous place like the Song Dynasty?

But the rustling thing around their waists was really a bit tingling.

"I think Song Beiyun is more like an emperor." Zhao Xing turned his head and asked, "What do you think?"

Next to him was Yan Shu with a fan on his face. When Yan Shu heard this, he glanced at Zhao Xing but didn't say anything, because Zhao Xing could see something that everyone in the world could see, but Yan Shu didn't know what Zhao Xing suddenly said, because what he didn't want the least was to see these two brothers clashing.

"Why do I secretly issue an edict to him to pass the throne?"

Yan Shu's expression suddenly started to have an old man's cell phone. He put his waist on his back and pursed his lips: "San Master, I'll go and make some convenience."
