Prosperous Tang Blood Blade

Chapter 1055 Finally figured it out
Chapter [-] Finally figured it out
Across the sea, back on land.

Chen Ying still couldn't figure out where Li Shimin's confidence was.

If Li Shimin didn't have absolute certainty, he would never have the idea of ​​counterattacking Datang, let alone such a crazy idea.

When everyone was not optimistic about Li Shimin, he was still full of confidence.Then he must have something to rely on.

While in Dengzhou, Chen Ying met someone who should not have appeared.

Ma Zhou, he should be the Chief Sima of the Anxi Metropolitan Protectorate at this time, responsible for managing the entire Anxi.He is also Chen Ying's biggest hole card in Anxi.Because Ma Zhou was in Anxi, even if Chen Ying didn't go back, he could still fully control Anxi through Ma Zhou's hand.

Chen Ying looked at Ma Zhou and said in surprise, "Why are you here? Because of the railway?"

"That's right, His Majesty decreed that his disciples should be enlisted as Ministers of the Ministry of Railways!" Ma Zhou smiled wryly.

Li Jiancheng's imperial decree was very sudden, and he had no choice but to excuse himself to escape.The angel returned helplessly, while Ma Zhou took the train all the way from Anxi to Dengzhou.

If Chen Ying hadn't repented from the front line in Pyongyang, Ma Zhou would have already set foot on the supply ship in Pyongyang.

Chen Ying thought for a while, looked at Ma Zhou and asked, "What do you think?"

"The subordinates have no idea. If the master lets the gate go to the Ministry of Railways, the Ministry of Railways belongs to the master!" Ma Zhou laughed, "If the master wants to spy on Anxi, the disciples will stay in Anxi!"

Chen Ying pondered.

The Ministry of Railways is also the iron boss of later generations.Chen Ying is naturally clear about the energy and value in it.Although the Chidao of the Tang Dynasty has been built for more than [-] miles, it is less than one-tenth of that of later generations.Mastering the railway transportation of the entire Tang Dynasty is equivalent to grasping a golden mountain.

Of course, Anxi is also very important.

The value of Anxi is even greater, especially the gold, oil, natural and various mineral resources stored in Anxi. Now that Datang has entered the steam age, according to the research efforts of Datang craftsmen, it is by no means impossible to invent an internal combustion engine.At that time, with abundant oil resources, it will be the destiny of everyone.

You will get what you give up.

Relatively speaking, Chen Ying gave up Anxi and got the Ministry of Railways, each has its own advantages and disadvantages, and each has its own advantages and disadvantages.

Chen Ying didn't know how to choose.

"Headache!" Chen Ying moaned in pain, like a fish and a bear's paw, you can't have both.

Originally, he had the advantage of being a time traveler, but when faced with a choice, he also had a headache.

Chen Ying wants to control Anxi, and even more wants to be the iron boss.

At this time, Chen Ying suddenly remembered a joke about later generations. 1000 yuan and a fishing gear, ask a person how to choose.Of course, choosing fish and fishing has its own benefits.

Chen Ying suddenly realized why he couldn't hold both the fish and the fish in his hand at the same time.

Thinking of this, Chen Ying looked at Ma Zhou and said, "Anxi Dadu Protectorate, who can replace you."

Hearing this, Ma Zhou already understood Chen Ying's choice.

Anxi wants it, and so does the Ministry of Railways.

Ma Zhou thought for a while and said, "Liu Tong, commander of Beiwei's army, is the master's subordinate. Don't worry about his loyalty, and his ability is beyond doubt."

Chen Yingdao: "That's fine, you come forward and recommend Liu Tong as the Protector of Anxi Dadu, Zhang Shigui as the Chief Sima of the Protectorate of Dadu, and Zhang Huaiwei... Let him be transferred back to Chang'an to be the Marquis of Youwu as the General of Wei."

……

The road from Dengzhou to Chang'an has been fully connected as early as the fifth year of Kaiyuan.However, with the advent of steam engine trains, the Tang Chidao at this time already had the embryonic form of future railways.

At this time, the double-track railway track in the middle of the road has long been isolated by the cement stone platform.Although the six-foot-high stone wall cannot completely isolate the flow of people, it can at least prevent animals from suddenly breaking into the railway and causing danger.

The Steam Engine College of Shule College has been completely separated from Shule College and has begun to become a train factory.Li Jiancheng is also a big hand. He built two train factories in Chang'an and Luoyang respectively.

At this time, there were more than 100 steam engine trains operating on the Datang Railway, and the transportation capacity was greatly improved.

Chen Ying did not stop in Dengzhou, but went west along Dengzhou.

On this train, Cheng Chusi was extremely surprised.Because this train was fully loaded with Zhechong Mansion, Chen Ying's personal guard, and all the equipment, and there were four trains specially loaded with more than 1000 stones of grain and grass.

What shocked Cheng Chusi the most was the speed.

It took more than [-] miles from Dengzhou to Chenliu. After six stops to add water and coal, it took only ten hours to arrive at Chenliu.

At this speed, if we marched normally, it would probably take a month.If it is cavalry, it will take about ten days.

Such a terrifying scheduling ability will make Fusang Datang feel desperate.

While in Chenliu, Chen Ying met the most unfamiliar person.

If there was anyone Chen Ying didn't want to see the most, there must be only one, and that was his eldest cousin Yang Rong.

Regardless of whether Chen Ying felt guilty or avoided, Chen Ying absolutely did not want to see her.

"I'm curious, why did you meet me here?" Chen Ying smiled wryly and looked at Yang Rong who was holding Wu Erniang in her arms.

Yang Rong said: "It's just a coincidence. I came to Chenliu to discuss a business with the Chenliu Cai family, and happened to be going back to Chang'an."

Regarding Yang Rong's words, Chen Ying naturally did not believe a single word, but he believed even more that the people around him would definitely inform Yang Rong.

Chen Ying will not be able to find out who this person will be for a while, and the person who can know the specific whereabouts of Chen Ying should be a person above the rank of captain of the Qinwei Mansion.There are [-] stations from Dengzhou to Chenliu, and Chenying only stops at four, so it is easy to check more in this area.

Chen Ying looked at the little man in Yang Rong's arms, no matter how dissatisfied he was, he couldn't hate him.

He pointed to the carriage and said, "Come in, you won't be afraid that the child will freeze!"

Yang Rong took advantage of the opportunity to enter the carriage where Chen Ying was.

Seeing Wu Erniang sleeping soundly, Chen Ying couldn't help but take Wu Erniang and hugged her gently.

Perhaps Chen Ying's murderous aura was too heavy, or her body was too cold, in short, Wu Erniang didn't give Chen Ying the face of being a father at all, so she pursed her mouth and burst into tears.

Seeing Chen Ying at a loss, Yang Rong smiled slightly.

Take over Wu Erniang from Chen Ying.Strange to say, when Wu Erniang left Chen Ying's hand, she stopped crying, stretched herself, and slowly fell asleep.

Chen Ying touched his nose, feeling a little embarrassed.

Yang Rong said bluntly: "The craftsmen under my school have manufactured a new type of textile machine according to the technology you provided, and can use wool to spin thread..."

Chen Yingdao: "We... you have to be polite!"

Yang Rong said again: "Do you know the Ancient Tea Horse Road?"

Chen Ying nodded and said, "I know!"

Yang Rong said: "Shuzhong merchants asked me to ask you, when can we build the ancient tea-horse road along the ancient Jinniu road!"

"This one……"

Chen Ying pondered.

Chen Ying is very rich, and Li Jiancheng is also rich.

They all have a huge gold mountain, even if it is a body, it can be hundreds of millions.However, building a railway is simply a bottomless pit.No matter how big a gold mountain is, it cannot fill this bottomless pit.

Chen Ying smiled awkwardly and said: "The court has its own concerns about this matter, but I have no money, and neither does the court!"

"I know you have no money!" Yang Rong smiled and said, "Now I'm just sending you money."

"The Fan family in Qingcheng is willing to give out 100 million guan for a part of this railway!"

"What? 100%?" Chen Ying said angrily, "Why don't they grab it! Let alone 500 million guan, even [-] million guan won't get [-]%! You should know the value of this railway!"

Yang Rong shook her head and said, "You can talk slowly about the number of members. The most important thing is that the Qingcheng Fan family wants to invest in the railway!"

Chen Ying did not answer directly.

At this moment, Wu Erniang burst into tears.Yang Rong was holding a small hydrangea, shaking it in front of Wu Erniang.

Wu Erniang looked at the little red hydrangea and forgot to cry.

Chen Ying's eyes fell on this little hydrangea.

His eyes brightened.

He finally figured out Li Shimin's true confidence.

The ground under our feet is actually a ball.Chen Ying knows, he knows this earth even more, the straight-line distance from the west coast of Fusang Continent to the East China Sea is more than [-] kilometers, and the straight-line distance from the east coast of Fusang Continent to the west coast of European Continent is only about [-] kilometers, which is a lot closer. two-thirds.

Could it be that Li Shimin has already had contact with the natives of the European continent through the east coast?

Thinking of this, Chen Ying felt that it was very possible.

He suddenly picked up Erniang Wu and said, "My little princess, you have really helped your father a lot!"

Yang Rong looked at the crazy Chen Ying in amazement, not understanding what Chen Ying was doing.

Chen Ying said excitedly: "If you want to invest in the railway, let them show their sincerity and don't buy the railway as cabbage!"
