Datang: Ten Years of Proton, Leading an Army of Millions to Return

There are also those students in the Tang Dynasty who read the Book of Songs today and read the Doctrine of the Mean the day after tomorrow.

I turned over and over again, and all I saw was the same old thing.

Nothing new at all!

Strange tricks?

Yu Shinan and Gai Wenda, these are strange and obscene skills.

And it is these strange skills that represent pioneering and innovation.

The teachings of Confucius and Mencius in the Tang Dynasty have been there for many years, and nothing has changed, nothing has changed!

Empty talk misleads the country.

It’s really… empty talk and harming the country!

Du Ruhui couldn't sleep. He really didn't fall asleep at all that night and kept his eyes open until dawn.

but!
Du Ruhui did not feel any fatigue at all. He was still full of energy. He wanted to take a look and see other aspects of Dayan.

Early in the morning.

Get out of the inn.

Chai Shao, Qin Qiong, Kong Yingda and others are all waiting.

The spirits of a few people are not very good.

It seems that even last night, I didn't have a good rest.

Du Ruhui glanced at them, said nothing, and walked out directly.

After eating something, Du Ruhui walked towards the south of the city.

The sewers that were there yesterday were extended for a long distance today.

Yesterday's cement road was also quite long.

At the elementary school they passed, many children ran in laughing.

They passed the college, which said Dayan College of Physics and Astronomy. Many young students were discussing today's topic, with joy and thinking on their faces.

Du Ruhui looked at all this and felt... I don't know why, but I felt uncomfortable.

while walking.

in front of you.

A row of huge chimneys appeared.

Very high.

Standing at the gate of the city, you can see the towering chimneys, which are still emitting thick smoke.

Du Ruhui said nothing and walked towards the factory.

He wanted to see what was going on here.

in.

They discovered that this was a huge industrial park.

In addition to these smoking chimneys, there are also many chimneys that are being built as soon as possible.

They are all factories.

factory?

Listening to the descriptions of the people around them, Du Ruhui and others were stunned.

"Factory? This...what kind of place is this? Steel factory?"

Du Ruhui was stunned.

It just so happened that a lot of rails were being delivered from the industrial park at this time.

Steel mill!

The crowd was shocked.

They had never seen such a steel factory before in their lives. The steel factories in Datang were all like small workshops. Even the largest kiln could not compare with the industry here.

Even when they walked in, they could hear all kinds of rumbling sounds.

follow the sound,

Du Ruhui saw it from a distance. He saw a huge machine operating under a large shed. Countless finished rails were automatically sent to the shipping area as the machine ran.

Then, workers put the rails on carts and pushed them away.

After a while, a delivery came over.

And this is just the working area under a chimney.

this piece.

There are no fewer than ten tall chimneys!
Such speed made Du Ruhui's bile burst.

"Here...these..."

Du Ruhui's eyes were horrified.

"Is Dayan's steel factory located here? Gudong..."

"At this rate, how much steel do they have to produce in a day? I'm afraid... it's much faster than my Datang, much faster!!"

Du Ruhui couldn't believe it.

Everyone looked at me and I looked at you, and they were all speechless.

Chai Shao swallowed hard.

This kind of production speed is really not comparable to Datang.

No wonder I came last time.

He saw that Dayan had a Quyuan plow, and took one back to compare with his own Quyuan plow from Datang. The one produced by Dayan was much easier to use.

At the time I didn't understand what was going on.

Now it seems….
It turned out that the problem was here!
The production process here is so terrible!
Maybe Great Inflammation….
It has already left Datang far behind.

"Wait, what are you doing? This is a production center, and no idlers can come in."

At this time, a group of guards came over,
Du Ruhui saw them.

Without saying anything, he turned around and left.

Can't wait any longer.

There is nothing left to treat.

If you continue to stand, you will only be humiliating yourself!

"Keming, are you...are you okay?"

After coming out, Qin Qiong asked carefully.

Even though he was shocked, complicated and bitter inside.

But Du Ruhui's face was much uglier than his!

possible….
It is people like Du Ruhui who are engaged in economics who are better able to understand the true significance and horror of this steel plant.

now.

When Du Ruhui heard this, his footsteps stopped sharply.

He suddenly turned around and stared at Kong Yingda, Yu Shinan and Gai Wenda.

"Kong Daru, I remember that His Majesty once gave you a batch of books, and one of them wrote about the construction of a steel plant."

"I haven't read the content of that book, but there are some books whose contents I have read. Although I don't understand much, it seems that what is mentioned in it is something that I have never seen in the Tang Dynasty. technology."

"Your Majesty asked your Hongwen Hall to sort it out, but have you sorted it out?"

"Although we in the Tang Dynasty do not have such craftsmanship now, relying on the methods in those books, maybe... we can catch up later."

Du Ruhui stared at Kong Yingda closely.

Kong Yingda's breathing stopped at this moment.

The corners of his mouth twitched.

Finally, he took a deep breath and spoke slowly: "Prime Minister Du, those books... I called many masters from Hongwen Hall to sort them out, and they all thought they were... they were..."

Kong Yingda hesitated to speak.

Du Ruhui instinctively sensed the bad news and asked hurriedly: "What is it?"

Kong Yingda's face turned red, he lowered his head and said in shame, "It's a strange and obscene skill..."

"They all thought it was a strange and obscene skill. In addition, when Pei Ji and Pei Sikong arrived, they were also inspired by these books, so we were all set on fire."

what! !

A fire burned! ! !

Du Ruhui's eyes widened and he froze on the spot.

Qin Qiong and Chai Shao were stunned for a moment, then became filled with endless anger.

The ladder of progress in the Tang Dynasty.

Just like that, he was ruined by those rotten scholars!

And Pei Ji, the aristocratic families behind him are also... a major cancer in the progress of the Tang Dynasty! !

Damn!

Damn it! !
Endless anger spread in the hearts of the two of them.

Also at this time.

Yu Shinan stood up and said: "Prime Minister Du, I think those books are just weird and obscene techniques and are not worthy of being stored with my Confucian and Taoist scriptures!"

Yu Shinan gritted his teeth and said in a deep voice.

Looks determined.

Du Ruhui glanced at him and clenched his hands tightly into fists, but soon relaxed them.

That’s all, that’s all….
He sighed forcefully.

Although I thought so in my heart, I just felt that my brain was a little lack of oxygen.

The front of my eyes is also a little dark.

Shaky.

He staggered as he walked, almost falling down.

"Ke Ming." Qin Qiong hurriedly supported him.Du Ruhui didn't look at him at this moment, but looked at the bright sky, and said in a self-deprecating voice: "Strange and skillful skills? What a... strange and skillful skills."

"Hahaha... Weird and skillful skills, weird and skillful skills... Hahaha!"

As Du Ruhui spoke, he looked up to the sky and laughed.

Angry and laughing.

It was as if he had lost his mind and gone crazy.

then.

He quickly suppressed his smile and looked at Yu Shinan and Gai Wenda with murderous eyes: "Strange and obscene skills? Sooner or later, my country, the Tang Dynasty, will fall into the hands of you rotten scholars!!"

"You...you don't allow other learning to flourish, and you only dominate Confucianism and Taoism."

"Look... have you ever opened your eyes and looked at this Great Flame, look at this Yanyun City, is it only Confucianism and Taoism?"

"No! They didn't!! Here a hundred flowers bloom and a hundred schools of thought contend!"

"I, Du Ruhui, dare to conclude that it won't take long for me, the Tang Dynasty, to die from these... what you think are so-called "wonderful and skillful" things!!"

"With so much steel, I just made a rough calculation. If they produce this year, they may have to produce what we produce in two years. This is because their population and land are limited. If they expand in the future, it will only be more terrifying. How will we do it then?" Fight? How to fight!!"

"Dayan holds his head high and strides forward!"

"And you... all you know is that you don't engage in war and construction at all, you only know how to talk about principles! This principle is too slow for the growth of the empire. Empty talk will harm the country. Only hard work can truly prosper the country!"

"The scholars of the Tang Dynasty, under your leadership, are really... lethargic and do not know what to say!"

"Haha, hahahaha!!!"

As he talked, Du Ruhui fell into madness again.

pissed.

I was so angry that I went crazy.

now.

There was silence all around.

Kong Yingda wanted to refute.

Yu Shinan and Gai Wenda also wanted to refute.

but….
All are, speechless.

Qin Qiong and Chai Shao looked at Du Ruhui.

There was also helplessness in his eyes.

They knew that they had no way to help Du Ruhui.

The shock that Great Yan brought to them was too terrifying.

This is true even for Chai Shao who comes again.

It even shocked everyone present.

Let's imagine.

The first time you came here, there were no concrete roads, Yanchi Road, etc., but the second time you came here only a few months later, there are all these.

Compared with the Tang Dynasty...
Datang is still treading water, this...
Chai Shao didn't even know what to say.

Compared to Du Ruhui and the others, he saw one more thing, Dayan's rapid development!
now.

For a while, they couldn't digest it.

"Ke Ming, Ke Ming." Qin Qiong gently supported Du Ruhui's shaky arm: "Our Tang Dynasty is not without merit."

"I believe that as long as we work harder, we can surpass Dayan in these aspects."

"If you think about it carefully, the population and land of our Tang Dynasty are several times higher than those of Great Yan. As long as we pursue them fiercely, there is definitely hope!"

Qin Qiong kept comforting her.

Du Ruhui blinked slightly, and the tears in the corners of his eyes were wiped away by himself.

"General Qin is right, you are right!"

"We, the Tang Dynasty, still have hope! Da Yan only surpasses us in one aspect. Overall, our Datang Dynasty should be stronger than Dayan."

"Let's go to the bookstore!"

Du Ruhui ran quickly towards the street.

Qin Qiong, Chai Shao, and Kong Yingda were all following closely behind.

When they ran to the city gate, Kong Yingda, Gai Wenda and Yu Shinan were all flushed, sweating profusely and panting.

They are old after all.

Such a rapid sprint almost cost them half of their lives.

Du Ruhui was younger than them, and it was as if he had been given a shot of chicken blood. He didn't feel tired at all.

Qin Qiong and Chai Shaonai are martial arts practitioners, and their physical fitness is better than them.

"Du...Prime Minister Du, I can't do it anymore."

"You go first, we... we will be there soon."

Kong Yingda pressed her knees against her legs and panted.

"Yes, Prime Minister Du, you go ahead."

"We all have to take a break, take a break..."

"This... my heart is beating so hard it feels like it's about to explode."

Yu Shinan and Gai Wenda spoke one after another.

Du Ruhui took a deep breath.

He is not much better physically than them, but he... has a lot of energy. When this energy is there, it seems to have infinite power, and he is not tired compared to Qin Qiong and Chai Shao.

now.

He looked up and glanced at the sky.

The sun is already due south.

Before I knew it, it was already noon.

"call…."

Du Ruhui let out a breath and turned to look around.

After all, this is a foreign country, and Qin Qiong said before that it was the leader of the Great Yan Kingdom who sent troops to rob their Tang envoys.

They had revealed their identities when they entered the city before, so there might be Great Yan soldiers nearby watching them.

It is not good to divide the troops into two or even several groups.

"It's getting late, let's go together and have some food."

"Look! There happens to be a restaurant there. Let's have some food first, sit down and rest, and we'll talk about this in the afternoon."

Du Ruhui stretched out his hand and pointed to a restaurant.

Actually this is a food street.

Delicious food, dazzling variety.

They are all kinds of hometown dishes from the Tang Dynasty, which also reflects that people from all over the Tang Dynasty came to Dayan.

And pointed to a specific store.

Mainly because Du Ruhui liked that store more.

and….
From here, you can smell the fragrance inside the shop.

now.

It would be better if Du Ruhui didn't say anything.

At this statement, Kong Yingda, Yu Shinan and the others' stomachs rang.

Even Qin Qiong and Chai Shao, who could still hold on, felt relieved, and his stomach was more hungry than anyone else.

In any case, the two of them are military commanders. Although their physiques are stronger than those of Confucian scholars like Kong Yingda, they can consume energy much faster than them.

"Okay, Keming, come down and I'll help you."

Qin Qiong held Du Ruhui's shoulder.

Chai Shao helped support Kong Yingda and the others.

Du Ruhui and his party walked towards the restaurant.

This fragrance.

As you walk in, it becomes more and more intense.

Immediately.

Because they were so hungry, their mouths were filled with saliva involuntarily.

The restaurant business is good.

When Du Ruhui and the others arrived, there was only one table left.

Other table seating.

most,

Change the cup.

The wine is fragrant.

It was extremely noisy.

Full of human fireworks.

People sit down.

Chai Shao said directly: "Waiter, serve! Bring me all the good dishes in your store!"

As he said that, he looked at Qin Qiong: "Second brother Qin, would you like some wine?"

Qin Qiong shook his head: "No, we have something to do in the afternoon. We don't want to drink wine now. We can drink it when we get back to Youzhou, right?"

Chai Shao agreed immediately.

Kong Yingda and the others felt their mouths were dry and they really wanted to drink, but after hearing what Qin Qiong said, they had no choice but to give up.
