"Boom!"
Dozens of detonators and explosives were detonated in a row, and the originally solid mountain gradually showed signs of loosening.
Not far away, Xu Jiang was amazed.
"It's a heavenly artifact. If there was such a thing in the early years, why would the Minjiang Canal have to wait until today?"
Qin Yun led the people down the mountain in a hurry: "Mr. Xu, where are you? From now on, I will not only blow up this mountain, but also connect Luochuan with various places in Cangzhou, Longxi, and build straight roads paved with cement."
"Let this chasm turn into a thoroughfare!"
As for Qin Yun's imagination, Xu Jiang only thought that his prince was bragging. Is it still possible? It would be nice to have a wooden boardwalk!
Of course, a few years later, Xu Jiang realized that it was his own situation that was too small.
"Your Majesty, these rocks can be used as embankment materials for the Minjiang River Canal in the future, but there is still a very difficult problem, that is, how to transport these rocks to the other side of the river!" Zhao Jiadi on the side was a little confused.
Qin Yun smiled: "This is not easy! Tieshuan, are you ready for the iron rope you made?"
Tie Shuan said: "Go back to your lord, get ready!"
Qin Yun: "Okay, please take a step and take a look."
Zhao Jiadi and Xu Jiang followed Qin Yun curiously, and all the people put down their work along the way.
"See you, my lord!"
Qin Yun: "No courtesy! Thank you for your hard work!"
"Your Majesty, the common people don't have to work hard. They have food, drink, work to do here, and they can even get white flour every day."
"Yes, thank you for giving me this opportunity. My mother said that we people in Western Sichuan must remember your kindness in the future!"
Qin Yun smiled: "Everyone, take a break first and pay attention to the balance between work and rest, foreman!"
An old farmer in his fifties stepped forward and said, "The common people are here!"
Qin Yun pointed to the scorching sun in the sky: "Today's high temperature, we will give each person five more tubes of high-temperature subsidy, and also order the kitchen to make mung bean smoothie!"
"No! Thank you, Your Majesty, for the reward."
Folks, that's a joy. They are in the hinterland of Luochuan, and they may not even be able to see snowflakes in winter, let alone eat ice in summer.
But Qin Yun, the prince, actually gave the extremely expensive ice cubes to these lower-class people to cool down. This was something they could not even imagine.
Seeing this, Xu Jiang nodded frequently. Such a prince and such a method of caring for the people, even if he is just pretending, are worthy of admiration.
In the eyes of others, Qin Yun is trying to win people's hearts, but Qin Yun feels that he is just doing what an ordinary boss should do.
Spend more time on food and drink, work hard, and they work hard. Anyway, it is better than being whipped with a whip.
This is also one of the reasons why when Daxia recruited corvees to build various people's livelihood infrastructure, it could not be completed quickly.
In the past, when roads were built and canals were dug in Daxia, the imperial court allocated funds, the Ministry of Household Affairs opened warehouses, and the labor was stripped down layer by layer. Not only did the corvee not get a single copper penny, but they even had to bring their own dry food for the two meals a day.
For the same money, the imperial court was embezzled by the officials in the past, but now Qin Yun directly gives the benefits to ordinary people.
This is also the reason why he repeatedly ordered the stewards below to strictly implement food standards.
In fact, these stewards are experienced talents sent by major families. They use their own money, so they naturally plan carefully. After all, how can Party A's father cheat him?
It is precisely because of the advanced management concepts and the West Sichuan Family's almost stud-like gambling that the project progress is faster than Qin Yun imagined.
Moreover, refugees from various places in Luochuan heard that they could have enough to eat by working here, which indeed added a lot of labor force.
However, Qin Yun naturally doesn't have to worry about the details.
If there is a shortage of food, the family of Western Sichuan will provide it, if there is a shortage of money, the family of Western Sichuan will pay.
After all, they have already spent millions, and they cannot quit midway and waste their money. This is the cost of silence.
Soon, Qin Yun led Xu Jiang and Zhao Jiadi to a narrow cliff.
Qin Yun pointed to the iron rope next to him and said: "This thing can transport stones and even people's hands to the other side without passing through ships!"
"Come on, Iron Bolt, help me!"
The iron bolt stepped forward, picked up a stone and placed it in the bamboo basket under the iron rope. He then fixed the big stone with the rope, unlocked the buckle, and the bamboo basket slid to the other side!
Xu Jiang exclaimed, "Wonderful!"
"My lord, what is this thing for?"
Qin Yun smiled and said: "This is a pulley. It uses the gravitational potential energy of the height difference to move items directly to the other side!"
Xu Jiang: "I am an old man with little talent and little knowledge. I am ashamed and ashamed!"
Qin Yun smiled: "This is just one rope. When the other rope is completed, it will be able to travel in both directions!"
"Also, Tieshuan, take out the rail car and show it to Mr. Xu and Mr. Zhao!"
"yes."
Tie Shuan detoured behind him and pushed out a four-wheeled vehicle, but his wheels were walking on two rails. The four-wheeled vehicle was loaded with hundreds of kilograms of weight, but Tie Shuan just pushed it lightly and the vehicle moved forward. OK.
"This kind of track is simple and easy to lay. Even if the road is muddy after rain, it will not affect the transportation of engineering materials. With these two things, do you think it can be completed in three months?"
The two of them were amazed: "Your Highness, this is truly a creation made by heaven!"
Qin Yun smiled: "It's a pity that there is no rubber, and there is no time to build a steam engine. Otherwise, there is no need for people to push horses, and it can be driven by burning coal..."
Xu Jiang was from the Ministry of Industry, and Zhao Jiadi was a first-class craftsman. But at this moment, they discovered that they could understand every word His Highness said, but they didn't know what it meant when combined.
Looking at the blank looks in their eyes, Qin Yun knew that he had acted too hastily.
The skill point of Infrastructure Maniac is not available for the time being, and a steam engine involves all aspects of forging technology, especially the requirement for air chamber sealing, which is much more difficult than a musket. It is a large and systematic project.
Of course, this does not prevent Qin Yun from making arrangements as soon as possible.
"Okay, I have already informed the major families in western Sichuan. Two people will be responsible for the project here from now on. I hope to see initial results within three months to half a year!"
"Don't worry, Your Majesty, the first phase of the project will definitely be completed!"
Qin Yun nodded: "Tieshuan, can you let some old people from the Iron Village come here and instruct them to forge iron and continue to build rail armored cars!"
"Your Highness, don't worry, it's okay!"
Qin Yun then said to Zhao Jiadi: "Now you have been freed from your crimes, but the war is ongoing in the north and other craftsmen will not be able to return home for a while. Why not stay here? I will send you a hundred guns." , you also have the ability to deal with emergencies!”
Zhao Jiadi nodded slightly: "The grassroots went back to try to convince them!"
Qin Yun smiled: "Master Xu, I will trouble you later."
Xu Jiang held up his hands and said, "Your Majesty, your words are serious. Everything is for the benefit of the people of Luochuan."
Qin Yung was just about to raise his head and say something, when suddenly Yang Yong came on horseback not far away.
"Your Majesty!"
Qin Yun looked up and saw Wu Yingxiong following him.
Qin Yun bowed his hand to Xu Jiang: "Master Xu, please worry, I have other things to deal with!"
Xu Jiang: "You're welcome, Your Majesty, go ahead!"
After Qin Yun left, Zhao Jiadi sighed slightly: "Sir, you don't really want to follow King Liang, do you?"
Xu Jiang looked at the surging river: "Jiadi, do you think I can still leave now? Your Majesty is a good prince, worthy of you and me following you, and don't you want to leave your name in history and have a chance to become the best craftsman in the world?" title?"
"This armored car and these rails are enough for you to study for a long time!"
Zhao Jiadi smiled: "That's true, and there are those thunders and muskets. With these things, the prince only needs a large rear area to achieve anything he wants!"
Xu Jiang smiled: "Isn't this the land of Luochuan?"
Zhao Jia paused for the first time: "The Western Sichuan family may not necessarily support the prince."
Xu Jiangrou smiled meaningfully and said: "Jiadi, do a good job in this project. With the way a prince treats people, I will never treat you badly. It is even possible to give you an official title!"
Zhao Jiadi's eyes lit up: "The villain does not seek official status, he only seeks to serve his master."
Xu Jiang smiled and said nothing: "You, you, Zhao Jiadi, this is your father's ardent expectation for you. It's a pity that I got you involved earlier, but it's not too late now!"
Zhao Jia paused for the first time: "Sir, I..."
Xu Jiang patted his shoulder: "You and I don't have to talk about that."
On the other side, Yang Yong came to Qin Yun first and knelt down on one knee: "Your Majesty, the spies have been eliminated. Also, on the way here. I received a message from Iron Bear. Miss Shen Yue is now in the Peking University Camp where King Iron Wolf is."
Qin Yun frowned: "Okay, I understand, you go down first, I will go see Wu Yingxiong!"
"promise!"
Yang Yong winked at Wu Yingxiong, who bowed his head and knelt down, while Qin Yun stood with his hands behind his back.
"Wu Yingxiong, do you hate me?"
Wu Yingxiong buried his head on the ground: "I don't dare to be humble!"
Qin Yun sighed: "There is an old saying in the Central Plains that people who are not of my race will have different hearts. You can go and take the gun with you. This is your reward for serving me during this period!"
Wu Yingxiong's eyes were firm: "I will not leave my humble position, and I am eager to be taken in by the prince!"
Qin Yun smiled and said: "Come to think of it, if I can give it to you, other princes can give it too!"
Wu Yingxiong said solemnly: "But there are some things that the prince can't give to them!"
Qin Yundao: "What is it?"
Wu Yingxiong slowly raised his head, his eyes blazing: "It's trust. The prince gives trust to humble officials, but they can't give it!"
Qin Yun laughed loudly: "Okay, I hope you will not betray my trust. Now there is a task for you. Take your troops and set off from western Sichuan to find a way to Longxi and open up the Sixteenth Western Region. the country’s road.”
Wu Yingxiong paused: "No!"
Qin Yun: "How long will it take to complete?"
Wu Yingxiong muttered: "If you can't find Titou within ten days, come and see me!"
Qin Yun: "Okay, if this happens, I may be able to help you take revenge in advance!"
Wu Yingxiong's eyes lit up: "It's a humble position, but you will definitely live up to your mission!"
"Go!"
The martial hero used the etiquette of the Central Plains to slap Qin Yun three times, and then used their tribe's special chest-beating ceremony. He didn't slowly get up and leave until the blood was drawn out.
Qin Yun did not stop all this, but watched quietly.
At this time, Yang Yong came forward and said, "Your Majesty, do you want to send someone to follow?"
Qin Yun shook his head: "No need! You go back and build a team."
Yang Yong raised his hand and said, "Please give me your name, please, the prince!"
Qin Yun: "Let's call him Shadow Guard!"
Yang Yong chuckled: "What a good name, it follows you like a shadow. From now on, I will definitely follow the prince's side and be his shadow."
Qin Yun smiled: "Go back!"
