It was already July.

Xishan, Mentougou.

Datai Coal Mine.

More than a hundred surveyors from the Surveying and Mapping Bureau of the Royal Academy of Sciences, as well as surveyors from the Ministry of Works, are busy carrying various tools.

Lin Anzhi looked at the work uniform and was quarreling with Li Luan, who was the leader of the Western Russian, shook his head and sighed and walked forward...

"Come on the mountain?"

Li Luan looked at Lin Anzhi and nodded slightly, then turned to look at a mountain between the coal mine and the capital not far ahead, frowned.

Lin Anzhi reminded: "There has always been a wind in Sitianjian for the mining of Xishan coalfield, saying that this place is the location of the dragon veins in the capital. It is already a matter of matters when mining is only carried out. If the mountain is opened again..."

Li Luan has not been in a good situation recently, and she is afraid that she will be even more sad if she causes trouble.

After the translator of Tongwenguan retelled this sentence, Xiyifan shrugged and said, "If you want to lay the railway tracks, if the train wants to pass, it is impossible to bypass the mountain in front of you no matter what. Moreover, there is more than one. If you detour, the journey will be more than ten times larger."

Li Luan asked in a deep voice: "If this mountain is dug, how long will it take?"

Yang Yi said: "Two months at most!"

Li Luan pondered when she heard this, Lin Anzhi stared and said, "So fast?"

If it is purely digging with human power, even if three thousand men work together, it will take two years.

It’s not that he didn’t know the power of the medicine, but he just used the medicine pack to blow up the gap in the city gate and it would be enough to open a mountain... how much does it take?

After hearing Lin Anzhi's questions, Yangyi looked proud and said, "Now there is a powerful new medicine, but the new medicine was not invented by Zi Pharmaceutical Bureau, but my Surveying and Mapping Bureau!" Obviously, the Surveying and Mapping Bureau did the matter of Zi Pharmaceutical Bureau and stole their contributions, making this Yangyi feel as happy as a white girl who voted for the other party's wife...

Unexpectedly, Lin Anzhi turned to look at Li Luan and asked, "What if this is the case?"

Li Luan shook her head and said, "I have never paid attention to the affairs of the court recently. The eldest sister of the Royal Academy of Sciences is watching. You can go and ask her. However, since Steve said this, there should be no false..."

As he said that, his expression slightly dimmed.

Lin Anzhi was extremely intelligent. After a little thought, he guessed Li Luan’s thoughts.

With their identities and knowledge of what they have learned, they naturally understand what the birth of the powerful child medicine means.

Every scientific and technological innovation in the Academy of Sciences almost means a leap forward in military power, let alone a top-notch medicine?

With such powerful children, the princes will surely accelerate their pace of founding the country!

And Li Luan has to build the railway track for five years...

However, before Lin Anzhi could comfort him, Li Luan suddenly smiled and said, "It's good that this is the case. With such magical weapons to help open mountains, quarrying and even mine, the progress will be greatly accelerated! With the cost of manpower investment, the railway tracks will be paved to Yuezhou within five years!"

"Five years?"

Lin Anzhi said in surprise.

If Jia Qiang was here, he would probably frown.

The Beijing-Guangzhou Railway is more than 2,000 kilometers long and is divided into two sections. From the capital to Hankou, it was built from the 23rd year of the Guangxu period to the 32nd year of the Guangxu period.

Not to mention the section from Hankou to Guangdong, it took a full thirty-six years...

Of course, the unprecedentedly powerful national strength of Dayan is not comparable to the end of the late Qing Dynasty.

The various resources that Li Luan could mobilize were not within the reach of the officials who built railways in the late Qing Dynasty.

Just five years is probably not enough...

Seeing that Lin Anzhi was not convinced, Li Luan smiled and said, "I have observed it for more than ten days and found that the laying of such railway tracks is actually mostly repetitive coolie chores. Now, from the Xishan Mountain to the suburbs of Beijing, our palace has requested an order and mobilized the Third Battalion Engineers, with a total of 8,000 people! Let them build the railway by themselves. After they are proficient, the eight thousand people are divided into forty groups, each group recruiting 5,000 regular troops and 30,000 road construction teams, and laying them in sections!

As technical guidance, the Engineer Soldiers were composed of road construction teams composed of vassals and other provinces to lay railway tracks. Five thousand regular troops were reorganized into road protection troops!

In this way, things can be accomplished within five years!”

The purpose of the road protection army is self-evident...

Lin Anzhi took a breath after hearing this and said, "I said you are busy this month and you have made such a big stall. I won't mention the road construction team. Forty groups, each with 5,000 troops, which is 200,000 troops. Prince, you..."

Li Luan shook his head and said, "How could it be only 200,000? The provinces, prefectures and counties along the way have to take on the barracks and food for road construction teams, so they naturally have to ensure security. The yamen runners and guards from all over the country have to alarm at least 600,000 to 800,000."

Lin Anzhi's face became more and more serious, and he looked at Li Luan and whispered: "Crown Prince, such a big formation may not be consistent with the emperor...the Queen's imperial decree?"

Daiyu made Li Luan calm down and lay the railway tracks, not to mobilize more than two million people from the south to the north...

Li Luan laughed and said, "Don't worry, once this battle begins, I will plunge into the bottom layer and measure it step by step! If you sink down, sink down does not mean you don't do anything. Over the years, with the laying of the Xishan railway tracks and the use of a brand new steam train, I have really opened my eyes. I also increasingly believe that the god of the father, the wise and wise, is given by God, and manpower is difficult to reach. The benefits of the train can really open up the world!

Therefore, after I sent the letter from my palace, my father approved it in just half a day, and there was also a military affairs office, the five army governor's office and the elders of the countries."

Lin Anzhi heard this and tasted something: "The Military Affairs Office, the Governor's Office of the Five Army and my father, the elders of the country, are trying to encourage you, and are afraid that you will be depressed, so they invest so much! But..."

After making fun of it, Lin Anzhi scratched his jaw and thought: "With Dayan's current national strength, it is impossible to say that he can dominate the country's strength. The main reason is that more than one million road construction teams are worthless and exhausted, and can be filled in at any time. In addition, Dayan's current food is not enough. In order to protect the interests of local farmers, the imperial court set up a long-term warehouse to ensure that the price of grain does not fall too harshly, so the food is enough. But steel... I'm afraid it's not enough? If it's not so urgent and slowly adjusting its productivity, it may be worth it. But if you lay thousands of miles of railway tracks at the same time, how can you have such steel for you?"

Li Luan laughed and said, "If it were last year, it might not work. After all, with the iron-swalking beast in the army, it would be impossible to fight if it was poured in. But this year, the Great Yan began to turn and no longer use troops to the outside world! Only the steel ingots saved by the military headquarters are enough for me to use. Furthermore, not only the Han vassal states, the Qin vassal states and the Tang vassal states have begun to mine iron ore on a large scale and smelve into steel. In addition to building agricultural tools, most of them are transported back to the local area. As long as they are not placed in the military warehouse, it is enough to support the laying of thousands of miles of railways!"

If it is true that it can penetrate the north and south within five years, greatly reducing the "distance" between the north and the south, then this contribution will be enough to completely consolidate the throne of the prince!

And with these five years as the foundation, in the next five, ten or twenty years, Dayan will surely establish a well-connected railway network, and even extend it to the vassal states and other provinces. By then, the national strength will surely reach its peak!

"So, in these five years, I will see mountains opening and building bridges when I meet rivers..."

Before Li Luan finished speaking, Lin Anzhi intercepted and said, "I almost forgot if the prince doesn't mention the bridge. There are two natural barriers between the north and the south, so how can I get through it?"

Li Luan laughed and said, "It's okay, the Yangtze River and the Yellow River. My father said, "I don't have to worry about it. He can cook it yourself." I don't know how he cooks, but since my father spoke, I still need to worry about it. Just let it go! You can also use this five-year plan to build steel workshops in various provinces along the way to greatly stimulate the livelihood of the people. The laying of the railway will not only not become the "Great Wall" of Qin and the "Grand Canal" of Sui, but also make it a golden road recognized by the people!"

Lin Anzhi's eyes were red when he heard this, and he said, "This is OK? The emperor is so good to treat the prince..."

He understood why Li Luan suffered such a heavy blow and was not discouraged at all. Instead, he became more and more energetic and bolder and more confident.

Who would be afraid of having such a father in charge?

If you really say it, building a railway will not cost the people and benefit the people, but will benefit the people for thousands of miles along the way.

The crown prince himself will do it. With this achievement, Li Luan will also firmly sit in the throne of crown prince.

It really makes people jealous of having such a good father...

Seeing Lin Anzhi's description, Li Luan laughed and patted his shoulder, saying, "Uncle, when I go downstairs to measure the territory of Dayan with my own hands, I will leave the overall situation of the Railway Office to you!"

Seeing that Lin Anzhi, who was used to being lazy, wanted to refuse, but Li Luan grabbed his arm and said in a deep voice: "Uncle, I can't let my father down anymore. Otherwise, even if my father doesn't blame me, how can I have the face to sit in the position of crown prince?"

Lin Anzhi smiled bitterly and said, "Forget it, who made the prince my nephew? Just be a coolie for five years."

Li Luan was overjoyed when she heard this, then turned to Yangyi and said, "Just use the medicine to open the mountain. You must be quick and let the people in the engineering camp see clearly how to use the medicine to open the mountain! If anything happens, I will take care of it!"

...

West Garden, Wanshan Tower.

Although it has already entered summer, the two seazis in the West Garden are natural ice mirrors, so the building is filled with cool breezes and there is no heat.

Jia Qiang lay on a concubine's couch, resting her head on Ping'er's plump thighs, enjoying the gentle Ping'er rubbing his head.

And Keqing placed his legs in front of him, holding a jade melon and gently pounding it.

You Sanjie came in from outside with a rush, holding a file in her hand, looking at it while walking, gritting her teeth and cursing. After coming in, she saw a harmonious scene of the "ruthless demon concubine". She couldn't help but spat, but ignored it, and shouted to the side: "That kid Wangba's fucking is really unreasonable! Look, look! The kids, the officials, would rather let their wives go to the backyard to go to the Buddhist temple to worship Buddha after thirty, than to allow them to do things outside. After so many years, they are still unwilling to let them show up in public..."

Feng Jie'er was also sorting out the files of women's affairs with Feng'er, Hui Jin and others. When she heard this explosive remark, she sighed and said, "What's the solution? Even if the ordinary people's homes are only older women willing to go to the weaving workshop to work. Unless the poor are so poor, the girls will never go out. It's also annoying. Now that the people are living better and better, they are getting less and less allowed to work, which is not as good as before. However, you don't have to be so angry?"

You Sanjie said annoyedly: "It would be fine if it was just like this, but a case was reported from Shencheng, saying that because the wife of the Tongzhi of the Shencheng wanted to do something at the Nuweifang, she was beaten half to death by the Tongzhi of Lao Shizi. She wrote a blood letter and handed it out secretly to her predecessors. There was also a hateful one. A girl in the Jiangnan clan was unwilling to marry early and came out to do things and make money to support her family. As a result, she was forcibly caught by the clan and locked up to insult the law of the clan, and wanted to starve her to death to protect her reputation! During this period, her father ignored her and even helped the clan supervise. The girl's younger brother sneaked out to sue the officials everywhere, but no one paid attention to it! If the people below happened to meet, this matter would not have been spread at all!"

After hearing this, Ping'er and Keqing were also angry and asked, "Is the sect law even bigger than the king's law?"

Jia Qiang narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "The clan law... It seems that the destruction of the nine surnames in Jiangnan has not yet awakened the world."

Feng Jie'er smiled and reminded: "The state has its own laws, and the family has its own rules. It was like this hundreds or thousands of years ago. Could it be that the emperor still wanted to abolish the patriarchal law? At the time in the Jia family, I had established patriarchal law a lot."

Jia Qiang sneered and said, "I have established many patriarchal laws, but the Jia family's patriarchal laws are based on national laws. Whether it is family laws or patriarchal laws, national laws must be used as the basic laws. I will let the Military Affairs Office discuss this matter and it will always be solved. You don't have to worry. We are still young and have enough time to correct the injustice in the world a little bit!"

Sister You San took a few steps forward and stared at Jia Qiang and said, "I'm still young? Everyone is going to be grandmothers!"

"oops!"

"shut up!"

"What are you saying?"

This revelation of a counterattack, and it was obvious that women were unwilling to admit this fact.

Jia Qiang was overjoyed and comforted him: "You stand with your daughter-in-law, you are both younger and better-looking than them. Why are you panic?"

Ping'er couldn't help but spit out and said, "This is also something my father-in-law can say?"

Jia Qiang said happily: "What father-in-law and father-in-law are not father-in-law? As for my daughter-in-law, they are just ministers. They are free to their husbands to pamper, and I take care of the woman who loves me!"

When several women heard this, even though they knew it was a sweet word, they still felt happy when they said it from Jia Qiang.

"Just a clever mouth!"

“It sounds better than singing!”

Ping'er laughed and was a little worried, saying, "The older princes are all busy now. I heard that they are looking for people everywhere, asking for people, and then looking for boats to send people out to sea."

Feng Jie'er suddenly laughed and said, "Li Feng, that bastard, was tinkering with a group of brothers last month. The younger brothers went to find the imperial concubine. Hulala, a large group of people knelt down and kowtowed to ask the imperial concubine to give them some good medical officers. The imperial concubine's temperament could not withstand their troubles. She transferred a total of 300 medical officers from Anjifang to listen to them..."

However, as he said that, Feng Jie'er looked down again, letting go of her work, and sighed: "Even the medical officer has been found, the Yan family has set up the 18th Master Hai. At the latest next month, the children will be out... I feel a little uncomfortable, as if they are splitting up."

Jia Qiang ignored these sentimentalities and turned her head to her side, burying her head on Ping'er's lower abdomen. After a while, Ping'er's pretty face turned red...
