Tang Dynasty good brother-in-law

Chapter 966 Seeing Railway Mania Again
Referring to the appointment and removal of personnel, Yao Silian said:

"Li Bi is also a talent. It is appropriate for him to be temporarily the official in charge of replacing the trial railway from Chang'an to Huayuan with a formal railway. It's just why the sage arranged the old railway that was dismantled on Zhuque Street. Things are really confusing.”

Someone who understood, Li Jing immediately said: "I have heard about this. Those who really travel long distances to pull goods and people are real trains. There is also a kind of light train. Both the rails and the front of the train are compared to real trains." The train is much worse, and the speed is not too fast, it is used to pull people in big cities."

"Pulling people, how can I be a Rafah?"

"Take Suzaku Street as an example. The railway is built in the middle of the street, and the surrounding roads are leveled without affecting walking. Then every four intersections can stop to pick up people, which is equivalent to the use of horse-drawn carriages commuting by route in Chang'an City. According to the saint's plan, if the central cross is repaired, then the deployment of troops to the south of the city will be several times faster than before."

Li Jing is still thinking from a strategic point of view.

From Taiji Palace to Mingde Gate in the south of the city, it is a full twenty li.

Chang'an City is a big city, if you run on two legs, it will take almost an hour for soldiers to reach the twenty miles.And the physical strength will definitely be exhausted, so if you don't use it, you will fight immediately.

Li Jing said again: "Since the sage intends to build this light train, then I think that four roads should be built in Chang'an City. Zhuque Avenue is the main road in the center. Don't move this one. Build two roads from the south to the north of the city from both sides of the Taiji Palace, that is, Fanglin Gate..." Li Jing stopped and shook his head.

No one urged, because no one else had seen this light train.

After thinking for a while, Li Jing said: "Change the route, build it from Guanghua Gate, and then open another gate in the south of the city, or move the Anhua Gate in the south of the city to the west for a square distance."

Yao Silian understood, and immediately interjected: "Then don't tell me that Yanping to Yanxing on the central axis is the east-west light train in the south, and the ones in the north of the city have to pass in front of the imperial city gate?"

"What's wrong? It doesn't matter whether I wait to go up or down, or quickly transfer troops from the imperial army, it's a very good thing." Li Jing supported it.

Du Ruhui asked: "Is there any difference? Different people ride in different cars?"

Li Jing replied: "This is a matter of the Ministry of Rites. I only care about the repaired light train route. This route is useful for the people in the city now, and it is useful for mobilizing troops during wartime. However, according to the current defense strength of the Tang Dynasty, I want to break through Bashui and fight to Chang'an." Under the city, it is harder than climbing to the sky, but in the long run, this light train can be repaired."

Du Ruhui nodded: "The Tang Dynasty is rich, this small amount of money can still be spent."

Four light rail trains were built on the road, and the total mileage was only a hundred miles, and Shang Shusheng didn't care about this.

But for real trains, those with heavy rails have to open mountains, break roads and build bridges, which will cost too much money.

According to what Emperor Li Shimin of the Tang Dynasty wanted, one hundred thousand miles would be built in 30 years. This data frightened the minister and the six major officials to tremble.

All officials believe that 30 years of repairing [-] miles, at most [-] miles, has already brought about earth-shaking changes in Datang.

The data of one hundred thousand miles is too scary.

Of course, it is understandable for the emperor to have this idea, and the cabinet and the provincial capital support it, but they will not use this terrifying figure to mobilize the power of the whole country to repair the railway desperately.

Shangshu Province's plan for the railway in the next three years is only [-] miles, and it is impossible to exceed [-] miles at most.

Not to mention Shangshu Sheng, the cabinet, and the six ministries.

Even Liu Mu trembled when he heard that the 30-mile railway was built in 20 years, but Liu Mu knew that the railway was only a little over [-] miles in the early days of New China, and before Liumu crossed, the railway was more than [-] miles.

Relying on Datang's current industrial capacity and steel output, building a 30-mile railway in [-] years is like a dream.

Although it was a dream, the great Emperor Li Shimin of the Tang Dynasty really started to move. Just a few days later, the streets of Chang'an in the Tang Dynasty began to be closed in sections, digging up the original stone slabs, and then laying down a stronger one For the foundation, a large amount of gravel was brought in.

The small railway from Huayuan to Jingyang played its last role.

A giant beast was divided into parts and transported to the south bank of the Jing River in the north of Chang'an City, and then a stone quarry was built on the bank.

The power of the steam engine drove the giant beast, and after a large stone with a square foot of three feet was thrown into it, it turned into countless gravels and slid into the hopper in the blink of an eye.

The light rail construction project in Chang'an City has drawn the curtain.

It is said that in Xiyi Prefecture at this time, nearly a hundred staff members under Qin Qiong have drawn a rudimentary map of the rivers, hills, and woods within [-] miles of Fangyuan.

In the conference room, Qin Qiong was sitting at the head of the table, drinking tea quietly, and the rest of the debate did not fall into his mind.

In fact, Qin Qiong couldn't make up his mind where to build the city.

Not far away, Li Yuan stood in front of the map with his hands behind his back, frowning tightly. In his eyes, there were at least fifteen very good sites for building cities. According to Li Yuan's plan, more than twenty cities could be built here. All are good places.

But right now, they don't need so many cities, all they need is one main city.

Fang Xuanling walked behind Li Yuan at this time: "The Supreme Emperor, I think there are only two places that are most suitable."

"tell me the story."

"It's nothing more than the confluence of two rivers. As the first city, transportation is the first priority. Look, my lord, there is too much water at the fork of the upper river, which is not conducive to the city. There is a piece of land ten miles up from the lower river." The plain, where the city was built. The big port was built at the location chosen by Prince Liu, so going to the inland river is naturally a change of inland riverboat."

"Well, that's really a good suggestion."

After Li Yuan carefully analyzed Fang Xuanling's suggestion, he also thought it was very appropriate. If there is a river, it can first ensure the water source, and then facilitate transportation. This is indeed a good idea.

Qin Qiong couldn't make up his mind.Because he is not good at these directions.

Liu Mu paid more attention to the choice of deep-water ports outside the sea. Without deep-water ports, there is no way to dock large ships. Datang has more than [-] large cargo ships at present, and there is no way to allow these ships to dock without enough reliable ports.

Seeing that Li Yuan accepted his suggestion, Fang Xuanling immediately said: "Then, the Supreme Emperor, can we vote on the issue of site selection next? Then move on to the next issue, the direction of agricultural planting. I think rice should be the main thing. Wheat and soybeans are supplemented, and other crops also need to be discussed, and animal husbandry is also very important, which is related to the fertilizer issue of grain fields.”

Li Yuan nodded: "Take a break, and then vote."
