Tang Dynasty good brother-in-law

Chapter 981 Canals and Railways

"If there are those three ships of gold, plus the expanded production of Fukuoka Steel Works this year, if the three are built together, I don't know if it will be earth-shattering."

Cui Junsu couldn't help showing a little more complacency on his face.

Liu Mu and Tang Jian laughed together.

Tang Jian asked Liu Mu: "How much labor can you provide?"

"If you don't care about the development east of Fusang Nara, Fusang Road alone can provide 40 laborers. Add another 20 people, and Chenla [-]. Datang will recruit a part of the country, enough for millions of people. But ..."

Liu Mu stopped when he said the word but.

Cui Junsu also understood that the mobilization of millions of people, Emperor Sui Yang used to recruit millions of laborers, without any injuries.

"Let's fix one first." Cui Junsu was not as excited as before.

Tang Jian asked Liu Mu: "What do you think of the Grand Canal in the former Sui Dynasty?"

"Good river, a canal has driven the economic development of the surrounding area, and the shops are just a superficial appearance. If there is data from various places in the Sui Dynasty, then the canal can increase the population, increase the development of handicrafts, increase agriculture, and drive cultural and academic exchanges, etc. The ex-Sui conscripts were too heavy, which hurt the foundation of the country."

After listening to Liu Mu, Tang Jian added: "There are two more points. It is a mistake to divert water from the Yellow River. Thirty states in Henan Province have to dredge the canal every year, and there is too much sediment. Another thing is that the supervisor who dug the canal Don't know about water."

"I don't know what kind of canal to dig for water affairs?"

Liu Mu said that he did not understand.

Tang Jian explained: "Dujiangyan in the Qin Dynasty, Liufu Canal in the Han Dynasty, Shaobei and Rubei in the Jin Dynasty, etc. are all projects that have benefited the people for thousands of years. The Grand Canal cannot be wrong, but the Grand Canal is too impatient and has no Careful planning has weakened the ability to resist floods, especially in Bianzhou."

Cui Junsu sighed heavily: "If it wasn't for the reinforcement of the Baili River Embankment with cement last year, I'm afraid..."

Tang Jian went on to say: "I'm afraid that the tragedy of [-] homeless families in the fourth year of Wude will happen again."

Liu Mu nodded: "I understand, what you two mean is that the construction of the railway requires careful planning, and don't be blind."

"Well, that's right, especially for bridge construction. The site selection of this bridge is very important. The Ministry of Industry has a proposal to build reservoirs in two river sections with very little sediment, and with sharp tools such as reinforced concrete, it can be repaired." Two dams. This will ensure the control of water conservancy in the south of the Yellow River, and also protect the railway from flooding.”

It's amazing, Liu Mu admired it in his heart.

Whoever said that the ancients were worse than modern people, the ancients also had people who really understood water conservancy and hydrology.

Liu Mu lit his pipe, looked sideways at the moonlight, and said slowly: "It seems that it's time for another artifact to appear in the world."

Artifact!

Cui Junsu and Tang Jian closed their mouths in shock. They knew Liu Mu, he had an indifferent personality, and he didn't care much about anything.Items that Liumu called sacred items back then, artillery changed the form of warfare, and steam engines directly changed the industrial structure of Datang.

So what will another artifact bring?
"Wait a few more days, and when my eldest brother-in-law comes back, I'll show you. This thing is listed as the third top secret in the Huayuan Forbidden Treasury. It can be said that even saints don't know about it. There are no more than 100 people who know this secret. This 100 people who assist in the study of this object, and those who protect the secret of this object with their lives as a guarantee."

Cui Junsu really wanted to ask Liu Mu, what is the second top secret and the first top secret?
But he didn't ask, he believed that Liu Mu would not say that the absolute taboo that even the emperor of the Tang Dynasty kept hidden, must be something that can change the entire Tang Dynasty and is enough to shock the world.

There are seven top secrets in Liu Muhua's original secret library, which is absolutely forbidden.

Right now, even Emperor Li Shimin of Tang Dynasty only knows that steam engine ranks fifth and gunpowder ranks seventh.None of the telescopes were ranked among the top seven.

Cui Junsu and Tang Jian have been waiting for Qin Qiong's return almost every day since that night.

They are very much looking forward to seeing Datang's third-ranked artifact, and believe that every important minister in Datang would like to know.

Finally, Qin Qiong came back.

Qin Qiong didn't rest, and immediately ran to the courtyard where Liu Mu lived after hearing what Cui Junsu said.

A quarter of an hour later, Liumu's Liaodong's strict security can be said to have surpassed that of Tang's Taiji Palace, and even Li Chengqian could not exceed the warning line.

At the same time, another location was also under martial law. This was Shence Guard's barracks, fifteen miles away from Liumu's courtyard.

"What are you waiting for?" Qin Qiong asked urgently.

"Don't worry, wait until it gets dark. Huayuan's third top secret is not a certain thing, but a series. I only said that the first step is barely completed, and the second step has hundreds of people who are still studying it day and night. The third step, The fourth step has not yet reached the edge, and the door has not even been touched. To really make this powerful, at least reach the third step."

No matter what Liu Mu said, Qin Qiong and the other three could only feel the mystery.

Finally, it was completely dark.

Qin Qiong ordered to hold the lamp, but Liu Mu stopped the guards.

"Don't you need a light?"

"Lantern, first let you see a new kind of lamp." Liu Mu took out a steel key from his pocket, which was different from ordinary keys in the shape of a cross.Then there was a piece of paper inside the iron box, on which were written six strings of six digits.

Willow's guard left with the key and the six strings of six-digit passwords.

Another quarter of an hour later, a guard lifted up a spherical glass with a stainless steel support under the glass.Then there are two fine steel boxes placed on the table.

Qin Qiong asked: "If this thing is a top-secret object of Huayuan Density, you actually brought it with you?"

"Brother-in-law, how can you make the guards find time to practice without bringing it with you? It will take at least half the time to train a familiar player with this thing."

When Liu Mu explained, two strong guards began to step on a bicycle hanging in the air outside the door.

The guards in the house first turned on the switch of an iron box, and then turned on the switch of the glass ball.

In an instant, the glass ball lit up, and the bright light was no worse than the sun in the dark night. Qin Qiong and the others couldn't help blocking it with their hands because of the glaring glare.

At night, the sudden bright light, even if it is far less bright than the electric lights of later generations, is also a strong light for the era of Datang.

The guard covered the lampshade, and the light became much softer.

Liu Mu said: "Mr. Tang, you are the oldest here. You can write a paragraph, not too long. Then the eldest brother-in-law will send someone to the Shencewei military camp fifteen miles away, and the people there will take what Mr. Tang wrote. To you. My people will not leave this house, you can send someone to guard the door."

Qin Qiong won't send people to guard outside the house, there's no need for Liu Mu to cheat here.

Tang Jian wrote two lines of characters, which were completely irrelevant, and could not even form a sentence, let alone a poem.

Willow's guard sat by the table, opened another box, put on a helmet that could only cover half of the head and even the ears, took out a small object and tapped it a few times.
