Unlike other things, once this thing is determined, even if problems are discovered later, it is impossible to modify the track gauge, especially the longer the length of laying, the less likely it is to modify.
Therefore, it is very likely that the appropriate track gauge has been set from the beginning, and there is basically no possibility of adjustment in the future. Theoretically speaking, the next time the track gauge is adjusted, it should be when humans change to a habitable planet and go through the last painful period. After a heart-wrenching experience, the track is reset on a new planet.
As for other possibilities, they are basically gone.
Xiang Liji was stunned when he heard this, and after a while he understood what was going on. After all, his ancestors also built rail trains. Once the trains are on the same track, changing the track would be equivalent to negating all the tracks built before. .
"How about we still use Great Qin's track." After thinking about it, Xiang Liji finally chose a relatively conservative plan. In this case, at least there is a concept of inheritance in it.
Da Qin's tracks were six feet wide, which was actually about the same width as the standard tracks of later generations, because they were all based on horse's butts and were all issues left over from history.
Chen Xi didn't say anything, just crossed his arms and looked at Xiangli Ji. Xiangli Ji turned to look at Xiangli Qin. It's also too narrow, and its carrying capacity is also very limited.
"Six feet is too narrow." After a while, Xiangliqin still gave the answer. Although the actual track gauge was not given, this sentence was equivalent to denying Da Qin's previous track and resetting the track. Even Xiang Liqin didn’t dare to agree on the design of track width.
"How much is appropriate?" Chen Xi looked at Xiang Liqin and asked. He knew that the so-called standard track must be narrow, but how wide is appropriate? After all, this thing is limited by technology, and wider is not always better. Carrying capacity is also something that needs to be considered.
"Please also ask Chen Hou to give Xiang Li a period of time, and then give the results after my family carefully studies and practices." Genealogical family.
Naturally, after understanding the impact of track gauge on future generations, Xiangliqin was much more cautious than before even if he accepted the job. This is a thing that requires careful research and verification. We cannot just say it now and leave a lot to future generations. hidden dangers.
Xiangliqin's answer made Chen Xi very satisfied. He knew how to do it, but it didn't produce results, so he just said that he needed to study it.
"Go and research, and finally come up with a suitable result." Chen Xi said calmly, then took a blank silk book from the side, wrote the transfer order on it, stamped it with his own seal, and handed it to Xiangli to go to Chang'an Bank Red copper is used in the warehouse.
"Thank you, Marquis Chen!" nothing.
"No, actually I have to thank you." Chen Xi said with a smile. The Xiangli clan has done it with one hand, and the Han Empire's border counties have been strengthened by dozens of points. Central Asia, which was originally only able to herd sheep, is now unlikely to be able to do so. Build a fence.
Xiangli Qin and Xiangli Ji took their things and left happily. After they left, and after confirming that there was no big problem with Wang Yi, Jia Xu and others gathered around.
"Do you know about the Xiangli clan?" Jia Xu asked curiously.
"I only know a little bit." Chen Xi said with a small distance between his index finger and thumb.
After looking at Chen Xi's gesture, Jia Xu sneered, "Do you think I will believe you?" What you know a little bit about and what a normal person knows a little bit about are completely different things.
"If the rail train is completed, it will only take about ten days from Chang'an to Central Asia, based on what you told me before." Jia Xu glanced at Chen Xi and said.
Chen Xi did not deny it. This was a fact. In fact, in terms of the output of the current motors developed by Xiangli, even if it was piled up in large quantities, its thrust would not be outrageous. The cavalry regiment is still fast.
"Then what's the point of enfeoffing the aristocratic families?" Jia Xu sent a message to Chen Xi and asked the biggest question. It can arrive in more than ten days, and even the army can be transported there. Why is it necessary to enfeoff the family? Can't Zhili rule directly?
"It's a matter of administrative efficiency." Chen Xi sighed. With the rail train army, it is indeed possible to pass by. It is impossible to rebel there. However, the army can solve the problem of rebellion, but it cannot solve the problem of low administrative efficiency. The so-called natural disaster This was the case for Emperor Gao Yuan.
Jia Xu nodded slightly. He could understand this, but just such words were not enough to convince Jia Xu. At least the reason was too shallow, and it was too shallow to be said by Chen Xi.
"Actually, I have some other ideas. In my plan, Central Asia is just a place to start. The eagle will eventually fly into the sky." Chen Xi said slowly, "Another one, no matter what, these people need to be Those who get it out will be a disaster if they stay in the country."
All aristocratic families are a scourge. This is Chen Xi's conclusion. Even though they have greatly promoted the country, their class is destined to draw the blood of the country to survive. This cannot be changed no matter what. Reality.
"Instead of staying in the country and letting them cause trouble for me, it is better to get out. Besides, in a border that is too far away, as long as it is a single-core political system, there will be administrative problems and then unrest. For us, we are not afraid of war, but we are trapped in The endless security wars are too troublesome." Chen Xi said with some emotion.
Jia Xu nodded slightly. It was indeed the case. For Chen Xi, instead of letting the aristocratic family cause trouble for him in the country, it would be better to be realistic and let the aristocratic family get out. Even if some of the benefits are divided for this, it would not have the same impact as the aristocratic family constraining his energy in the country. big.
"Then how do you plan to face the major families next?" Jia Xu said curiously.
"Facing the major aristocratic families?" Chen Xi raised his eyebrows and said in a rather indifferent tone, "What's there to face? It's as if they didn't have the attack range on the bridgehead of Congling before. Even if the news of the rail train spread, What if we give it to the major aristocratic families?"
A family that wants to become stronger will be more determined to stay away from Central Asia and go to Africa. And a family that wants to become a feudal country in Central Asia will care about this? of course not.
Jia Xu did not reply. Based on his understanding of Chen Xi, this matter would never be so simple. Moreover, since Chen Xi knew about rail trains, Chen Xi would have arranged this thing very early. After all, it is important to plan for a rainy day. One of Chen Zichuan's titles.
[All major aristocratic families, those who want to mix up will still do so, and because the rail trains are built, supplies will be more secure in the later period, and they will mix better, and the families who want to become stronger, leave Central Asia, and go to the real hunting ground After this time, I will completely make up my mind. 】Chen Xi thought silently that the major families never had the same mind.
"By the way, release what I talked about today with Xianglishi and Jing Zhaoyin." Chen Xi suddenly said, but Jia Xu didn't refuse after thinking about it.
Therefore, the intelligence points of major aristocratic families in Chang'an soon received this very important information, and quickly sent it to Central Asia, Eastern Europe and other places, so that their own bodies also received the news.
At this time, the heads of the major aristocratic families who had already begun to send personnel to Kandahar were a little confused. What happened? What did the Xiangli clan do?
They understand rail trains. After all, the ancestors of each family came from the pre-Qin era, and they also understand how fast this thing is.
Naturally, major aristocratic families have also considered following Chen Xi's road construction method. Sooner or later, after the hardened road is completed, it will be time to go to Chidao.
They had all considered the impact of Chi Dao traveling thousands of miles a day, but the appearance of Xianglishi completely shattered their understanding.
In the words of the heads of major aristocratic families, is your Xiangli family a dog? Is it necessary to go so far? Although the top speed of an electric-driven rail train cannot match that of an elite cavalry regiment, traveling day and night is too much.
However, this is not the time to talk about these things. Xianglishi will write this down first, and then settle the accounts later when he is free. At this stage, the biggest problem for the major families is actually the endless supply of goods within their own territory. He is also an extremely capable bandit.
In fact, even now, even some aristocratic families are relatively stupid, and they have actually realized that these bandits should belong to the real gold that emerged after the collapse of a country and the big waves washed away the sand.
Facing these opponents, each major family has shown its own capabilities. Although there are victories and defeats, and there are even unlucky children who have tragically lost the whole family, but generally speaking, each family has some plans to deal with it. Besides, Chen Xi Didn't he also bring his apprentice Lu Xun over?
"Xiangli's rail train." Yuan Tan looked at the very detailed report sent by Yuan Yin, and even sent Yuan Tan the social impact this thing would cause. After all, Yuan Yin has been doing odd jobs under Chen Xi. Isn't it just to help the Yuan family collect some useful information?
"Husband, you seem a little irritable?" Wen reached out and pressed Yuan Tan's temple and said, "Since some time ago, you seem to have been worried?"
"Ah, have I been so obvious lately?" Yuan Tan was stunned and said. Wen just shook his head and said nothing more.
"Well, in that case, you can take the Pope with you tomorrow." Yuan Tan thought for a while and said, "This time I will just go watch the fun, but I think there will be people from major aristocratic families at the venue where my uncle is getting married. There are a lot of amazing words, after all, several things came together this time, but it’s a pity that I can’t go and see it in person.”
