The Reborn Lao Tzu Is the Emperor

Chapter 2401 Building Railroad Tracks
Zhao Dongting took out the map of Song Dynasty from the drawer.

Click on Changsha, then click on Hunan: "Build a railway track from Changsha to Xiangyin and try it first. I will send you [-] soldiers from the Xianglong Military Region at your disposal. How about it?"

Da Song is not short of money now, so he is rich and powerful when he speaks.

Although it is not far from Changsha to Xiangyin, if it is based on the situation of the Song Dynasty before, it is definitely a big project.

Li Goudan was a little surprised, "Drop the army?"

Zhao Dongting nodded and said, "The advent of steam trains will inevitably cause earth-shaking changes in the Song Dynasty and the whole world. The use of steam trains is still in the research stage. I will give you soldiers, except for building railways for you. There is one more thing. That is, the construction of the railway track must be kept secret, and no news can be spread before the steam train is successfully operated. I don’t want any accidents to happen during the development of such a heavy weapon that benefits the country and the people. "

Li Goudan's expression turned serious when he heard this, and he nodded, "I understand."

Da Song is now the most powerful country in the world, but this does not mean that other countries have no careful thoughts on Da Song News.

Even those countries that surrender to the Great Song Dynasty secretly want to surpass the Great Song Dynasty, right?
Not to mention the existence of the Holy See.

Zhao Dongting didn't want to give them a chance, and neither did Li Zhaoen.

Apart from Zhao Dongting, he should be the person who knows best what changes the steam train will bring to the world after its appearance.

In business, it will inevitably promote the economic circulation within the Song Dynasty.

Cargo transportation will no longer rely entirely on donkeys and horses, and steam trains will become the main force.

Yu Min, more and more people will broaden their horizons.Stop guarding your own one-acre three-point land and come out to see the outside world.

This will inevitably stimulate the development of industry and commerce.

When it comes to war, there are steam trains, and then dispatch troops and transport food, but it will not be like before.

Steam locomotives can increase the mobility of armies countless times.

If this kind of technology is stolen by any other country, it will increase its national strength many times.

As for Zhao Dongting, he still wanted to use train technology to further establish Song's dominance.

In any case, the technology of this steam train has to be controlled by oneself.

If other countries want to use it, they can, but that depends on what price they are willing to pay.

Immediately, Zhao Dongting wrote two imperial decrees by himself.

One of them is for Li Zhaoen.Appoint him as Chief Engineer.

The second way is for Yue Peng.

Let him dispatch [-] elite soldiers for Li Zhaoen to use.

……

A few days passed quickly.

Li Zhaoen has hurriedly brought some people from the Ministry of Science and Technology to Changsha and Xiangyin to survey the terrain.

Lin'an Prefecture.

Zhu Jianian no longer intervened in the investigation of official circles on Liangzhe West Road.

He is like a cover on the surface, and he has returned to his previous appearance.

Being in the Department of Education is more like playing on the spot, and no longer interfering with too many things in the Department of Education.

It seems that I have regained my face, so I will give up.

And in the prison, the confidential staff member with a secret mission was not idle.

In a very short time, he became one with the prisoners in the prison.

This was an easy task, because he himself had an official position.

In the prison, these criminals were also in their own category.

Where there are people, there are rivers and lakes!
Naturally, it was easy to inquire about many things in the official circles of West Liangzhe Road.

Regardless of whether these officials were wrongly imprisoned, their understanding of Liangzhe West Road officialdom is far beyond that of Ge Hongtao and others.

The harvest in just a few days is much more than what Ge Hongtao and others wrote in their materials.

And the wide range of people involved made even this confidential staff member secretly startled.

These two Zhejiang West Roads have really become a word for some people.

This day, he asked a guard to take the message out.

Not long after that, a general from the Jiankang Military Region was ordered to come over.He should be brought to the barracks for interrogation again.

Although the people in Lin'an Prison were strange, they didn't dare to stop them.He could only let this confidential staff member be taken away.

They had no control over the affairs of the Jiankang Military Region.

night.

There are still many lights in the Jiankang barracks.

It's still the secret room.

Two officials from the Ministry of Inspection were busy behind the desk by the light of oil lamps.

On the white paper on the desk, there are dense lines and names.

And ultimately, the lines point to a name at the top.

Huo Yutang, the transshipment envoy of Liangzhe West Road.

Such officials are usually dispatched directly by the imperial city.Huo Yutang is no exception.

He has only been in Lin'an Mansion for less than four years. Before that, he worked as a servant in a certain department.

Although there are now more than [-] departments under the Ministry of State of the Song Dynasty, the position of minister is also a high position.

Those who are qualified for this position must also be trusted by Der Spiegel and Zhao Dongting.

I never thought that so many things would be involved in Huo Yutang's short stay in Lin'an Mansion.
