"Woo!"
With a loud whistle, a row of ships from Datang docked at the Port of Melbourne.
From now on this place will be called Tangcheng Port.
The person who got off the first passenger ship was Li Chengqian, the prince of the Tang Dynasty.
Li Shimin sent him here this time, naturally he also wanted him to experience it.
"Hello, cousin!" In front of Tang Ping, Li Chengqian showed no airs of a prince and greeted him respectfully.
"Okay, okay, it's good to be here!" Tang Ping patted Li Chengqian on the shoulder: "Did the journey here go smoothly?"
"It went very smoothly. I also saw many scenes that I had never seen in Chang'an. Especially during the boat trip on the sea, I saw the vastness of the sea and the sky."
This is why Li Shimin insisted that Li Chengqian take a boat to Australia with the craftsmen even though Tang Ping could take people to teleport.
If you don’t see the vastness of the sea and the sky, how can you have the ambition to conquer the world?
Li Shimin doesn't know how much he can accomplish in his lifetime, but if this world is not conquered in his own generation, then it would be good to leave it to the next generation Li Chengqian.
"Okay, then I will take you to Tangcheng first."
This place was the city of Melbourne in later generations, but the city built in the future would be called Tangcheng, Aozhou Road, Tang Dynasty.
Oshu became the first overseas road in the Tang Dynasty, and Tangcheng was the capital of Oshu Road.
“But there’s nothing there yet, so the conditions are a bit rough.”
"It doesn't matter." Li Chengqian said with a smile: "When my father was still at war, I even slept in a thatched hut with my mother."
"That's okay!" Tang Ping nodded with satisfaction. The house prepared for Li Chengqian here is certainly not too simple, but it is definitely incomparable with the mansion in Chang'an.
However, Tang Ping had provided him with the main living facilities. Li Chengqian took a brief look and said that there was no problem living here, so he asked Tang Ping: "I heard that my cousin conquered a tribe here, and the people in their tribe are willing to do so." Come and work with us.”
"That's right!" Tang Ping nodded: "They should have gathered at the construction site now. Do you want to take a look?"
"This is natural." Li Chengqian said impatiently: "As long as they can start working, and with the first batch of craftsmen I brought, our Tangcheng can start construction."
The two came to the place where Tang City was built. The terrain was originally flat, but Tang Ping asked people from the Wild Dog Tribe to level it again. It was already a large piece of flat land.
"Cousin, are these... the aborigines of Oshu Road?" Li Chengqian looked at the person in front of him in disbelief.
The reason why they were so surprised was that before coming here, these aborigines from Oshu Road heard from several soldiers who were recovering from injuries in Chang'an that the people here were all savages with their upper bodies naked and their lower bodies wrapped in animal skins, with messy hair and beards.
But now in front of him were tens of thousands of people standing neatly, uniformly wearing dark blue overalls, with the words Datang Construction printed on their backs and chests.
At the same time, they also wore helmets on their heads, rubber shoes on their feet, and stood upright with their hands behind their backs.
"This is His Highness the Crown Prince of the Tang Dynasty!"
Lao Cui said something, and the people below shouted loudly as taught: "Hello, Prince!"
Li Chengqian was stunned again and again, and finally said for a long time: "My cousin is really amazing. It only took more than half a year, right? If I hadn't known about it in advance, I really wouldn't have known that they were the aborigines of Oshu Road."
Tang Ping said with a smile: "To be honest, I didn't expect them to perform so well. This is all because of the good teaching from their tribal leader."
As he spoke, he waved his hand and called the hyena over, but by this time the hyena had already changed its name.
For more than half a year, he has been rectifying the entire wild dog tribe like crazy. The people in the tribe respect and fear him.
Later, Tang Ping said that he wanted to change his name. This hyena was not pleasant to the Tang people, so he used Nie, which sounds similar to hyena, as his surname.
Then he was named Nie Xin.
"Nie Xin has met the prince."
"No need to be polite." Li Chengqian looked at the former tribal leader, nodded and said, "Please ask Chief Nie to cooperate more in the future."
"Prince, don't worry, Tang's words are the direction for our tribe to move forward!" Nie Xin shouted, patting his chest.
He didn't know the rules of the court at all. If he dared to say this to an individual official, he would be looking for trouble for others.
That is to say, Tang Ping has a special status. After he said this, Li Chengqian not only didn't mind, but smiled and said to Tang Ping: "Then I will have to rely on my cousin more."
Tang Ping waved his hand and said, "Don't rely on me anymore. When you get on the right track here, I will go back. You should know that Ping'er is here
I'm in elementary school, and now I need help from my parents for a lot of homework in the first grade of elementary school. Your cousin's blood pressure goes up as she helps you with homework every day. "
"I wanted to write a letter several times and ask my second uncle to summon the Turkic Khan, Ping'er's mother, to Chang'an so that I could teach my children by myself."
Li Chengqian laughed loudly after hearing this: "Okay, okay, my cousin is a scholar of heaven and man, why don't you teach Ping'er yourself?"
Among the powerful people of the Tang Dynasty, who wouldn't want to send their children to Tang Ping's family?
"Hey, it's different!" Tang Ping shook his head. Not to mention himself, there were many parents whose parents were 985 doctors. When they met the primary school students, they would kneel down in the same way.
And sending them to primary school is also to help children develop some study habits and broaden their horizons, which are not available in Datang education.
"In short, I will transfer all the construction tasks of Tangcheng to your hands as soon as possible. At the same time, you will also take over the management of our mining areas and ports."
In the past six months, Tang Ping not only educated the original eucalyptus tribe and the wild dog tribe behind him, but he also sent people to search for almost all the aborigines in the entire Australian continent.
Now there are four iron ore mining areas and three coal mining areas.
The total number of workers in several mining areas exceeds 100,000.
This is also the reason why Li Chengqian arrived so quickly. According to the plan, it would have taken more than a year to prepare for the construction of such a big city.
But now the minerals in various mining areas have piled up like mountains. The docks have long been unable to accommodate them, and they are all piled outside each mining area.
Tang Pingdu had already begun to cut production and began to pay wages to teach these workers to learn Tang dialect.
If Li Chengqian doesn't come to start up the smelting plant, it is estimated that these mines will stop production.
In the next few days, Tang Ping took Li Chengqian to visit several mining areas. Before Li Chengqian came, the railroad tracks had not been built, but the roads were almost paved.
After the cement kiln is completed, these roads will be repaired and turned into cement pavements.
After a few days, Li Chengqian sighed and said, "Cousin, I understand why you are in a hurry to go back."
"Hahaha." Tang Ping patted him on the shoulder: "You will manage the entire Tang Dynasty in the future. I believe you are definitely better than me in this aspect."
After speaking, he clenched his fists and shouted: "Chengqian, Chengqian, you are the best!"
