Wentang

Chapter 730 Untitled
"Woooooooooooooooo..." With the sound of a whistle, the train began to slow down, and then slowly stopped at the platform.

Li Shimin looked at the clock again, one hour and a quarter of an hour, seventy miles, the speed is about the same as that of a good war horse.

This speed is already very fast, considering its load capacity and battery life... He once again confirmed an idea that trains will change the future.

The other people in the car were also surprised. The speed was too fast, and it was very stable with almost no bumps. They had never ridden in such a smooth car.

Usually they are not willing to travel far, but they are afraid of the exhaustion of the journey. If there is a train, they don't mind going out more.

More people still consider the transportation capacity of the train. With it, the north with inconvenient water transportation can also be connected.

At this time, they fully understood why Li Shimin attached so much importance to the train, and they took the train themselves to express their support.

At this time, the train station has been protected by the guards, and there is no outsider inside—in fact, there will be no outsiders if there is no protection. The train station has only been opened for the first time today. Everyone is very unfamiliar and no one will run here.

Li Shimin took a group of people around here, watched the train turn around, and then boarded the return train.

He has a lot of things to do every day, it is not easy to come here, but he has no time to stay here.

This time it was the small train No. 0004, because only this car was dedicated to carrying people, and there was no cargo on it.

There is a section of parallel between the railway and the original road to Chang'an. This time when the train was traveling on this section of the road, it happened to see a convoy of cattle and horses transporting goods.

The line was very long, more than a mile long.

Li Shimin pointed at this team and said with a smile: "I'm afraid we will never see such a scene again after we have the train."

Yue Shan did not agree, but said in a serious tone: "This is a blessing for the country, but it is a disaster for the porters who walk on this road."

Li Shimin said displeased: "Why do you say that?"

Yue Shan said: "These porters make a living by transporting goods for others. With the train, they will lose their jobs. How will they support their families?"

"There are not [-] or [-] porters who rely on freight from Weishui Wharf to Chang'an. Has the saint thought about how to arrange them?"

Li Shimin was obviously stunned, he really hadn't considered this question.But the matter is not complicated, he can understand what Yue Shan said with just a little thought.

Yes, what about these porters?
Thinking of this, his mood suddenly became heavy, and he said: "You asked this question well, the court must make preparations in advance, otherwise the world will really be in chaos."

This problem is too big, and it can no longer be solved by two or three people, not even Yue Shan.

In the past life, these people can be sent to factories, and they can be trained for free to let them do other jobs.But here is the Tang Dynasty, and there are no supporting achievements and jobs provided by the commercial system.

If you want to arrange so many people, you must gather the strength of everyone, and you can only call the ministers to discuss after returning to Beijing.

And this incident also made Li Shimin wake up from the excitement brought by the train, and began to think more.

It's just that the railway from Chang'an to Weishui Wharf affects the livelihood of so many people, so what will happen if the train is built all over the country in the future?
Among other things, the hundreds of thousands of water workers in the water transport system will inevitably oppose it.Even if the imperial court forcibly suppresses and repairs the railway, the livelihood of these 10 people cannot be ignored.

He knew very well what the people would do if the court made it impossible for the people to survive.

Not repairing trains?Impossible, he knew how much the train helped Datang, so he couldn't give up eating because of choking.Then we can only find a way to accommodate those who lost their jobs because of the train.

And we can't wait until the train is repaired before starting to resettle. By then, it will be too late for everything, and we must make preparations in advance.

Taking water transport as an example, further weaken the authority of the transfer envoys and gradually reduce the number of water workers.

Although doing so will bring pressure on water transportation, it is much better than all the conflicts erupting at once in the future. Besides, part of the water transportation function can be transferred to sea now.

For example, when transporting grain from the south to the north, people who were afraid of grain transport used to use the sinking of the ship as an excuse to devour grain and grass, and they dared not go by sea and had to take inland rivers.

Now, with the development of various sea-going ships and the development of the nearby waters by Datang, the private shipping capacity is growing day by day, and it is entirely possible to contract some of the water transport work to private commercial firms.

The merchants delivered the grain to its destination, and the court paid them.If there is any damage on the way, they will pay for it.

If it doesn't work, the navy can be used to transport grain—Li Shimin still trusts the current Datang army, at least it won't rot to the point where he dares to embezzle grain in ten or eight years.

After ten or eight years... I believe that the railway should be able to bear part of the transportation pressure.

Thinking of this, he suddenly thought of another thing, and asked, "Didn't you say that you were doing research on the reasons for the change of dynasties? Did you gain anything?"

Yue Shan hesitated for a long time before saying: "I have gained something, but this is not the place to talk about it, let's talk about it when we go back."

On the contrary, Li Shimin showed a surprised expression, did he really figure it out?Then there is excitement, if it is true, can Datang be able to...

Forget it, don't think too much, let's go back and listen to his answer.

After returning to the palace, he couldn't wait to drag Yue Shan to discuss this matter, but Yue Shan refused.

"I need to go back and sort it out before I can better answer this question, and this matter can't be rushed. I don't care about the time. The most urgent thing is to arrange the porters at the Weishui Wharf."

Li Shimin had no choice but to let him go.

The matter of the train has already spread throughout the capital, becoming the hottest topic at the moment.Wherever there are crowds, someone is sure to be talking about it.

It's just that most people don't know much about the train, why it runs, let alone what it will bring.

Why Many people don't know the name of the train, but they call it the Iron Bull, but this does not affect everyone's enthusiasm in the slightest.

The same rice feeds all kinds of people. Some people think that trains are good, while others think that they are not.

There are many reasons for people who think it is bad, one of which is to affect Feng Shui.Moreover, the train ran loudly and made a huge vibration, which would shake the fate of the country.

Although there are not many people who hold this idea, since it is not a trivial matter when it is related to feng shui and luck, someone stabbed it into the court.

Most people in the court were surprised by this. It is not surprising that there are such rumors among the people. What is strange is that some people dare to bring this rumor to the court.

Do you think Yue Shan is easy to bully, or do you doubt his ability?
I didn't see that no one in the Tang Dynasty dared to offer auspiciousness easily, didn't I see that all the prophecies about the court disappeared?
Li Shimin also admired such a daring courtier very much, and praised him severely.And think that such capable courtiers should be reused. It just so happens that the imperial court is going to develop Western Xinjiang in the next step, so you can go there to make contributions.

So no one dared to talk about Feng Shui luck anymore.

But since someone made this statement, the imperial court had to give an explanation, and Yueshan had the most say on such matters.

So Li Shimin asked Taishi to order Li Chunfeng to visit Sixingping and ask if there was such a thing.

Everyone knows that this is just a formality, not really asking Feng Shui or something.So everyone is busy with their own work, and no one pays attention to the follow-up.

……

Let’s say that since Yueshan came back from the train, he has lived a two-point and one-line life between his home and the academy.

Naturally, he doesn't have to teach students, but the weekly large-scale open class is a reserved item.The rest of the time is spent exchanging knowledge with other celebrities, or concentrating on studying various ancient and rare books.

After returning home, I can't be idle. First, I have to sort out the materials of the dynasty change, and second, I have to accompany my wife and children.

This morning, seeing the weather was fine, Yue Shan spread out a blanket in the garden gazebo and played with his wife and children here.

The weather was getting hotter, and both of them put on short clothes, revealing their white legs and arms.They can't sit still, but they are already very naughty, and they don't feel comfortable rolling over on the blanket for a moment.

Looking at the two little Doudings, Yue Shan counted the time and said, "Calculate the time, have they been six months old?"

"The eighth day of December, today is the fifth day of June, and we will be half a year old in three days." Li Lizhi sat cross-legged on the blanket and teased the two little ones, and replied after hearing the words.

"Turn over three times and sit six times, it's time for them to learn how to sit." Yue Shan said.

"Nurse and the others are teaching these days, maybe you will meet them tomorrow when you see them, don't worry." Li Lizhi said with a smile: "It's time to name them, have you thought about it yet?"

"The child belongs to the two of us. How can I make the decision alone? Let's get it for them together." Yue Shan also said with a smile.

Li Lizhi narrowed her eyes in particular, and said, "Brother, you have a lot of knowledge, so you should get it for them."

Yue Shan shook his head and said, "It's just a name. I'm not learned. My name is Yue Shan. Duo Tu's name has not been laughed at by others."

Li Lizhi said sweetly: "Where is the dirt? The mountain is so majestic and majestic. My brother's name is the best."

Yue Shan said with a smile: "Then according to what you said, wouldn't it be better to call it a land, and it's a great virtue."

Li Li said indifferently: "Brother~~~Brother~~~~~~"

That long, coquettish voice made Yue Shan tremble all over. This girl became even more charming after having a child.

"Ahem!" He coughed dryly and changed the subject, "Have you thought of a good name? Let me hear it."

"I haven't made up my mind yet, so let's talk about yours first." Li Lizhi rolled her eyes and said.

Seeing her cheating, Yue Shan shook his head helplessly, and said, "Okay, my sister's name is Qian Shu, and my younger brother's name is Ru Yu."

"Qianshu, Ruyu, do you have any deep meaning?" Li Li asked.

"I remembered a poem." Yue Shan said.

Dongfeng night blooms thousands of trees, blows down, stars like rain, BMW carved cars fill the road.The sound of the phoenix flute moved, the jade pot turned brightly, and the fish and dragon danced overnight.

Moth's snow willow golden strands, the laughter is full of dark fragrance.The crowd searched for him thousands of times, and when I looked back, the man was in the dim light.

"The crowd searched for him thousands of times, but when I looked back, that man was in a dimly lit place." Li Lizhi was immersed in this poem, and looked at him with tenderness and admiration.

"What a beautiful word, brother, did you just make it?"

"Probably." Yue Shan was used to being Wenchaogong, so he didn't have any embarrassment at this moment.

This Qingyu Case Yuanxi was one of his favorite lyrics in the previous life, and the author Xin Qiji was one of his favorite poets.So when he named the child, he immediately thought of this word.

Don't literati and poets like to name their children from poems and articles, and he also followed suit.

"Thousand trees, like rain..." Li Lizhi has not forgotten the purpose of writing this poem, and after muttering a few words to herself, he hesitated and said: "I think jade pot and fish dragon sound better, brother, what do you think? ?”

After speaking, she looked at him anxiously, for fear that he would be unhappy.

"Ah, is it?" Yue Shan's proud expression froze for a moment, and he began to mutter: "Yuhu, Yulong, Qianshu, Ruyu, Yuhu, Yulong..."

I don't know why, the more he compares it, the more he feels the name 'Yuhu' is easier to pronounce, and Ruyu, who thought it was good at first, has become particularly tacky.

"The name Yuhu is good. For example, the rain sounds nice, and the meaning is better. But let's forget about the fish and dragon. The meaning is too high. I'm afraid he won't be able to lower it. Let's call it Qianshu. What do you think?"

Hearing what he said, Li Lizhi heaved a sigh of relief, and said with a happy smile on his face: "Brother, I also think that fish and dragons are not very good when you say that, or let's take one each. The elder sister is called Yuhu, and the younger brother is called Yuhu." It's called Qianshu."

"Okay, let's call them these two names. Our little lady is also a talented woman, so this name is much better than what I chose."

"It's all my brother's words are well written."

So the couple started talking about all kinds of earthy love stories, and the names of the two children were decided in this way.

The elder sister is called Yuhu, and the younger brother is called Qianshu.

After playing with the child for a long time, the couple went to work on their own, while the child was thrown to the nanny.

Li Lizhi continued to paint the ten miles of red makeup, but stopped for more than a year because of pregnancy.Now the child was born, and the body recovered, and I started painting again.

Because the technique became unfamiliar after more than a year, she did not start painting directly, but painted other familiar techniques first, and at the same time tried to regain the original feeling.

Yue Shan went back to his study to sort out the things he had summarized about the change of dynasty.

Originally, he was not going to tell Li Shimin these things, fearing that he would be as eager for success as Qin Shihuang, and instead turn a good thing into a bad thing.

The original plan was to tell Li Chengqian part of it in the future, and then pass on part of it to Li Chengqian's heirs.

But too many things happened later, and his thoughts began to change, so he had to tell Li Shimin part of it.

The reason is simple, Li Chengqian is not the founding king after all, not to mention ability, personal prestige cannot surpass Li Shimin.When he comes to reform, the resistance will be so great that it will not even proceed.

Moreover, Datang will also attack the world, and the front line will be very long.Once there is turmoil in the country, it is likely to lead to a big failure, and eventually make wedding dresses for those people in the West.

It is necessary to lay the foundation for many things during Li Shimin's time to alleviate the resistance encountered by Li Chengqian and other successors.

For example, the government military system is bound to collapse.But if Li Chengqian dared to attack it, he might not be far from subjugation.

Only Li Shimin has the ability to take targeted measures in advance without causing resistance from the generals.

When he was deep in thought, the housekeeper Bao Dalin came to report: "Tai Shi ordered Li Langjun to visit."
