Riding and chopping: Overlord of the Han and Hungarians

Chapter 345 344. Railway
"Auspicious snow heralds a good year, and it looks like next year will be another year of good weather."

In the Mansion of the Lord of Shanhai City, Zhang Qi stood under the eaves of the patio with his hands behind his back, looking at the snow-buried well under his feet.

"Where is the Han army?"

Behind Zhang Qi, a dotted line spy who was weaving a web was waiting with his bow, listened to the question, and took a few small steps forward to reply.

"One Chen army goes to the county, another Chen army goes to Taiyuan, and another Chen army goes to the giant deer, looking away from Cheng Bushi."

"Oh, as expected of the Habayashi warriors who command the army, they are very cautious, but haha, they have to stay still under this ice sky."

"Has the food road been explored?"

"The Han army was very cautious this time and used canals to transport supplies. The subordinates and others could still reach in."

"Well, Liu Che has learned enough lessons from successive defeats. It seems that there is no chance to try to please. Then send a letter to Ju Yanze and wait for my order to act."

"promise!"

The spy hid his figure, Zhang Qi was still standing on the eaves under the patio with his hands behind his back, his head slightly raised, and he took a deep breath of the cold air.

"It's coming soon, hehe."

There are 30 Han troops, and at the latest in April and May next year, these Han troops will come to the Liao land.

Zhang Qi's countermeasures will also be on the stage of history one by one next year.

He was looking forward to it.

This battle can be regarded as a life-and-death battle of the Han Dynasty. If you win, the world will be stable. If you lose, then you will sing and I will appear on the stage!

In that position, it's time for someone with the whole earth in mind to take a seat!

This world needs unity!

outside the plug.

Even if the ground is covered with snow, it can't hide the excitement on the construction site.

The sleepers were put down one by one, and a group of 30 workers carrying heavy steel rails laid the tracks on the sleepers.

Just a hundred meters away from the construction site, countless tents are neatly located.

Naturally, these people were laborers recruited from Lezhou.

And what they did was naturally the first and second railways in the world.

The reason why it is said that it is the first and the second is that it is because two railway lines are being repaired at one time, and the distance between the railway and the railway is no more than three meters.

Liaoze Railway is the name of the railway from Liaodi to Juyanze.

Today, almost one-twentieth of the length of this railway has been repaired. According to the progress of this work, the railway will be completed within two years.

Of course, it cannot be said that the time will be accelerated, because the input of manpower and the improvement of workers' proficiency are important reasons for determining the construction progress.

woo-

woohoo-

Boom boom boom.

The rumble of the train and the sound of the whistle sounded several miles away from the construction site. The terrain outside the Great Wall was flat and unobstructed, so the sound transmission was also transparent.

The foremen in charge of supervising the work were naturally paying attention. The sound of the steam train letting them know that a new batch of materials and daily necessities had been delivered.

The foremen began to call the workers to suspend the construction, and the militiamen who accompanied the camp rode their horses and waved bright red flags as soon as they heard the movement.

That's a signal to the train to slow down.

in autumn.

After a long period of experiments on Shanhai City's trains, Zhang Qi ordered Liaoning to start building them and put them into use.

At present, the power of the steam train has yet to be optimized. A locomotive with several carriages fully loaded with a weight of 25 tons can only move forward at a speed of [-] kilometers per hour.

It’s not fast, after all, the speed of Zhang Qi’s iterative horse can easily break 24 per hour, but the victory of the train is that it doesn’t need to rest, 25 hours a day, [-] kilometers per hour, and can run [-] kilometers a day, which is called It traveled thousands of miles a day and carried [-] tons.

With this, distance will no longer be a problem under Zhang Qi's rule.

Moreover, this is the first generation of steam trains, and there will definitely be more ways to optimize power in the future.

After all, is it a steam engine? If you want to increase the power, you just need to increase the speed of boiling water.

"The train is coming!!"

The militiamen who rode away before rode back at this moment. While waving the bright red command flag in his hand, he shouted loudly with a smile on his face.

Not only him.

The Lezhou people who work here are not as bitter and bitter as everyone imagined. On the contrary, they are all happy.

When they first came here, they were very frightened and resentful, but after several meals, their fear and resentment disappeared, replaced by praise and yearning.

I can eat enough here!

In the past, I was doing work, and I had to take care of myself even if I was tired, but now, as long as I work, I can get food and housing, and I can get [-] yuan a month.

Don't look at this as a construction site, but you can also buy things here. The merchants who came from Liaoning Suiying laid a lot of materials and commodities on the construction site.

Clothes and gloves, hot food, tea and water are all available in the construction site dormitory, and there are even massage masters on the construction site. After a few days of hard work, you can take a comfortable bath for only two or three dollars. After a set of procedures, Guarantee that the whole person is reborn.

Moreover, what kind of membership can you get in a construction site bathhouse? Ordinary people only pay two or three dollars for a bath, but if you become a member, it only costs twenty dollars a month and you can go there every day.

In the eyes of the workers in Lezhou, the merchants who came from Liaoning to accompany the camp were all good people and thought of them everywhere.

If you get tired of the included food, you can change your taste at the dormitory shop. For these Lezhou people, it is like arriving in paradise.

Of course, in addition to consumption, there is also storage. We are all people who are used to living in poverty. Few have money and are willing to spend. Most still want to save the wages they get from working every month.

The construction site dormitory can still satisfy them.

Liaoning Bank has specially set up a semi-colon on the construction site, and welcomes all workers to store it.

Of course.

At the beginning, these Lezhou people didn't know what a bank was, but after the explanations by their foremen, they all got a little understanding.

But it’s okay to understand. If you want these people to call out the money in their hands and exchange it for a few cards, these people will naturally not do it.

But no matter where it is, those who should be bold will still be bold, and there are naturally some of these people. After trying to deposit money several times and withdrawing money very smoothly, a group of Lezhou people also tried to deposit money into the bank.

And as they save money, they also get the invisible benefits of saving money: after "going through the household registration procedures in advance", one word spreads to ten, ten to hundreds, and the entire Lezhou dormitory on the construction site flocks to deposit their wages into the bank.

This scene made the Liaoning officials who were secretly operating a big sigh of relief.

It's good to save money, if these Lezhou people don't save money, the currency dispatched from Liaoning every month will be an astronomical figure.

Now that they have saved money, they only need to send them the money they saved in every month, and then wait for them to save it. After coming and going, everyone’s money has increased, but the money on the construction site is still maintained at that amount. .
