Qin Mo has many tricks and never repeats the same thing every time.

"Do it yourself and have enough food and clothing!" Qin Mo started to treat him coldly. He was on the verge of beheading repeatedly, but Lao Liu didn't take it seriously and even thought he was right.

My heart feels so cold.

"Your Majesty, slave girl!" Gao Shilian also followed Qin Mo's example, cut the watermelon in half, dug out each ball, and poured the remaining sour plum soup into it, "Your Majesty, please try it!"

Li Shilong picked up the watermelon and took a sip of sour plum soup, then dug out a large spoonful of watermelon. All the fatigue and heat dissipated, "Wow, it's so good!"

Seeing Li Shilong's satisfied look, the other four people also took action on their own.

Then the four old men all let out cheerful shouts.

In summer, barbecue around the fire, hold an ice-cold watermelon, and look at the stars, all worries disappear.

Qin Mo lit the incense again and drove the mosquitoes away. He took a brush and brushed the roasted whole lamb with oil from time to time.

"Jingyun, do you think this year is a good time to fight Bei Nu?" Li Shilong asked.

"I'm retired, father, and I can't take care of the important affairs of my family and country!" Qin Mo said bluntly: "Those things are too far away for me!"

"I said you are not energetic? Can't you let Jingyun have a good rest?" Li Yuan was annoyed, "The child has been away for more than two years, and you have been asking questions for a few days since he came back. Don't talk about him, I will suffer.

No.

Why can’t you finish it?”

Li Yuan got angry, "Jing Yun didn't even finish talking about the steam train at noon, and you kept talking a lot. What do you want him to do?"

Li Shilong was also embarrassed, "Okay, okay, I won't ask any questions!"

"Why do you think Jingyun came over to accompany me? Isn't it to relieve stress? It's like urging me to die!"

Li Yuandao: "Although I don't care about the court affairs now, Jingyun said at the beginning that three years later will be the best opportunity to conquer Beinu.

Now that Beinu has three points, if they can't wait to attack Longting, what do you want New Beinu and Northwest Nu to think?

The Northwest slaves and the Xinbei slaves now have Dagan as their support, so they don't have to worry about food and clothing in winter, but Shanyu Longting, who is caught in the middle, is in trouble.

Even if you drag them, you can drag them to death.

Junchen and Yi Zhixie will definitely take the opportunity to attack, so can we just reap the benefits?

We are not afraid of a complete Beinu, but are you still afraid of a divided Beinu?"

Li Yuan still looks at the problem thoroughly.

Li Shilong also thought of this, "Then let's get through this year and fight as appropriate in the spring next year!"

No wonder Qin Mo remained silent, this boy had said that he would help him become the Khan of Heaven.

He was about to succeed, there was no way he could fail.

Yes, the way he is now is definitely not showing off!

In fact, there are loud objections from the imperial court now, so Li Shilong also wants to hear Qin Mo's opinion.

"Jingyun, look, we've finished our work. Can we continue the topic we didn't finish in the morning?" Li Daoyuan squatted on the ground, his whole body smelled of odor. There was nothing he could do. He had developed sweat glands, and when he sweated

Just like a poison gas bomb.

"Don't stand in the wind, step back!" Qin Mo pinched his nose and said in disgust.

Li Daoyuan took two steps back, "Is that okay?"

Only then was Qin Mo satisfied, and then he lay down on the recliner and said with a smile: "In fact, the construction of railways in the future is an inevitable development.

The emergence of studying things to achieve knowledge will definitely change the current national situation.

The territory of Daqian is so large, to put it bluntly, it is difficult to manage just such a large number of people in Daqian.

Over time, problems are bound to arise.

Distance and journey are the biggest problems. What’s the point of a government order arriving a few months later?

For example, if Japan is attacked by another country now, it will be more than two months before the capital receives the news.

At that time, it would be at least half a year before we mobilized our troops and generals to reach Wozhou.

I guess the day lilies are already cold.

It would be much easier if there was a tool that could shorten this distance.

Although Emperor Zhou Yang opened the Grand Canal for fun, it was also for the purpose of exchanges between the north and the south, which greatly reduced the cost of transporting goods and was more conducive to the imperial court's control of the south."

"But you said that in the future, steam locomotives can travel thousands of miles a day, which is too mysterious!" Li Daoyuan said.

"The ancients invented bows and arrows for hunting. Could they have imagined that their descendants would use them for fighting? Could the ancients have imagined that the crossbows invented by their descendants would be a hundred times more powerful than the bows and arrows they invented?"

Can you imagine that the thunder cannon can hit thousands of feet away?

I remember that the steamboat in Lane 16 has been tried on a small scale? With a steamboat, there is no need for rowers and sails, can you believe it?"

Qin Mo's questioning made them speechless.

"If we don't build railways, why can't we build big roads?" Li Shilong didn't listen much and didn't understand why the steam locomotive had to run on the railway tracks.

"No, that's not fast and difficult to control.

Steam locomotives are big things weighing tens of thousands of pounds. They go too fast. How do you brake?

If you are hit, you will definitely die.

On special railway tracks, it is safe and fast, and can connect north and south, and even various cities.

If it only takes two or three days from Beijing to Lingnan, would you still think that Lingnan is far away?

If the Feng brothers knew that the imperial army would reach Gaozhou in three days, would they still dare to rebel casually?

In the same way, if you can go to the Celestial Kingdom in a month or even less, and have more frequent visits, you can completely turn it into a part of Daqian.

Even if there is an army rebellion, they still have to consider whether they have the ability to deal with the imperial army!

I’d rather say less than the two hundred thousand miles of rail journey.

When the southern troops return to Qian and conquer the northern slaves, 400,000 miles of railway will probably be enough.

There are many other countries beyond the Tianxiang Kingdom, and the same is true in the depths of the Western Region.

It’s just that it’s impossible to completely build it now!”

"Then please come up with a solution!" Yu Boshi said, "I'm so anxious!"

Qin Mo ate a few spoonfuls of watermelon, applied some oil, and then said slowly: "Build railways in major cities first, with the imperial court taking the lead and local officials cooperating.

If you don’t have enough money, you can call local businessmen to bid, and let the businessmen pay to buy out the charging rights for ten or even twenty years!”

"If you call businessmen in, what will the court earn?" Du Jingming frowned.

“Be it roads or railways, they are all infrastructure construction and strategic construction. It is unrealistic for you to make money from it.

However, exchanges between the north and the south, people coming and going, commerce and agriculture are developed, and taxes paid are several times higher than before. Isn’t this a kind of profit?”

Qin Mo saw that the fire was a little small, so he added some firewood to it, and then said lazily: "Besides, after the railway is built, it needs to be maintained regularly. Let them maintain it and we will check it.
Chapter completed!
