"What's so dark?"
"Ah, what are you doing? I won't drink."
"Gudu Gudu~~~!"
"Ugh vomit vomit~~~!"
"Gudu Gudu~~~!"
"Ugh, vomit, vomit~!!!"
In the nearby camp, Lu Liangjun lay on the ground helplessly.
His eyes turned white. For the Central Plains people who loved delicious food, the black soup of the Spartans was tantamount to the atomic bomb in dark cuisine.
Looking at this scene, Zhang Yumeng twitched the corner of her mouth.
"It's too harsh. Only Krisna can probably drink it. The taste is too strong."
Zhang Yumeng smiled and said, "How about changing it directly next time? This punishment is too severe."
Yang Qian smiled and asked, "What to change?"
"Pickled puffin, that thing, I feel a hundred times more powerful than this."
Yang Qian was startled, his stomach felt like he was in over his head, and he hurriedly covered his mouth.
He was horrified and said, "That thing is also for people to eat? It's so stupid."
Zhang Yumeng smiled mysteriously, "Actually, I have always been curious about what pickled puffin tastes like."
Yang Gan grinned, "It doesn't really matter what the taste is. What's important is that just by taking a sip at the puffin's anus, I feel like I have no love in my life."
Zhang Yumeng covered her mouth and laughed.
After kicking Lu Liangjun, Yang Qian asked, "How is it? Will the next report be delayed?"
"No, I don't dare anymore. I would rather be beaten with thirty military sticks. This, this black soup is simply more terrifying than corporal punishment."
This is what Yang Gan wants.
"Hmph, I have two principles. One is to make rewards and punishments clear, and the other is that merit should not be outweighed."
"Order: Each person who presides over the construction of the straight road will be given five gold coins. Those who are capable will be given fifty gold coins. Niu Gaojie and Lu Liangjun will be given one hundred gold coins, five bolts of silk, and two sets of precious medicinal materials. Those who are incompetent will be given ten sticks."
"promise."
Even though these soldiers are all led by Niu Gaojie, in fact their promotion, rewards, and awards are all firmly in Yang Gan's hands.
To put it bluntly, if Niu Gaojie wanted to rebel, he would have been captured after he had only managed to win over a few people.
Looking at the limping Niu Gaojie, Yang Gan asked.
"How's it going? Are you convinced?"
"General, please be convinced."
"Okay, if something like this happens again in the future, you must not let anyone go."
Niu Gaojie was silent for a while and said, "Your Majesty, I feel something is not right in Xuantu County recently."
Yang Gan hurriedly asked, "How?"
"There used to be a lot of garrison troops in Xuantu County, but last month, at least half of them were transferred. I don't know if this kind of information is important."
Niu Gaojie's concept of war is still at the previous level.
But Yang Qian had already entered the parallel era of information and war, and his efficiency was completely unbelievable.
"Of course it's important. Information like this needs to be reported immediately."
"promise!"
At this time, Zhang Yumeng also became curious about the orbit.
Because it’s been a long, long time since I’ve seen something as modern as a scaled-down version of a railroad track.
"Lu Liangjun, can this thing carry people?"
Lu Liangjun drank cold water and rinsed his mouth continuously.
"I have never tried this. After all, after putting the baggage cart on it, the horses will run automatically. I used to plan to set up a post station 30 miles away. Looking at it now, I only need to set up a post station a hundred or two hundred miles away."
"In this way, it not only saves time, but also greatly reduces the cost of soldier deployment."
Lu Liangjun glanced at Yang Qian and hesitated a little.
Zhang Yumeng is not easy to fool, and he doesn't care about how to control his subordinates. If he has something to say, he will say it directly.
"Stop hiding and tell me."
Lu Liangjun said helplessly, "Actually, we tried to seat people very early on, but gave up after a few experiments."
"Why?"
Lu Liangjun smiled bitterly and said, "This horse can poop and pee while running, but humans can't."
"Although there is no vibration, it is easy to deal with eating while the carriage is running. What about pooping and peeing? It would be too disgusting to deal with it in the carriage."
The two of them suddenly realized that they had always thought that this thing was the prototype of a train, but now it seems that it is still far away.
Lu Liangjun made it very clear that people can be accommodated, but there is no basic living security.
Once you get on this bus, you can't even think about getting off during the thirty-mile journey, and there's no place to go to the toilet.
Zhang Yumeng shook her head, "Twelve hours is 24 hours, and it takes three or four hours to travel thirty miles. If you don't urinate for three or four hours, you won't show it, and you may not be able to hold it back even if you have a bowel movement."
"Okay, you guys work hard. If anything happens, report it to us. We'll stay in a few days and then leave."
After Yang Gan finished speaking, he took Zhang Yumeng and walked outside.
When they came outside, the three conjoined twins Moshashi ran over instantly.
Yang Qian was stunned. He always felt that something was missing, but he couldn't say it.
Taking a few people with me, we started to look along the track.
I have to say that this road is really beautifully constructed. The height is almost the same. Where the rails are connected, there is almost no unevenness visible to the naked eye.
Therefore, the track where the baggage train runs is very plain.
Just as the girls accompanied Yang Qian to inspect the track, Zhang Yumeng looked at the drawings and exclaimed.
"Damn it, how can it be designed like this?"
Yang Qian asked, "What's all the fuss about?"
Zhang Yumeng pulled the drawing in front of Yang Gan and said, "You can do it. I have never figured out how to stop a three thousand kilogram baggage truck. If it doesn't stop, the two horses will definitely be killed by the inertia."
"Unexpectedly, according to Lu Liangjun's design, there are several stations along the way. A few kilometers before reaching the station, the spacing of the sleepers will be readjusted."
"The horse's speed will become slower and slower until it slows down and stops. Is this an ancient person?"
Yang Qian sneered and shook his head, feeling that these people were so stupid that they could even think of such a method.
Suddenly Yang Gan thought, since boats can be driven by motors, why can't baggage trucks?
"Zhang Yumeng, you said that using batteries can drive something like a train carriage."
Zhang Yumeng shook his head and said, "You don't have to think about this. It's definitely not possible. The friction of the baggage truck is too great. If you want to drive it, the power must keep up."
"Battery simply can't reach this level. Even if I put in a few more, it won't work. The battery is too heavy. It's nothing for a warship, but it's not cost-effective for a baggage truck, and it may not run as fast as a horse. .”
Yang Qian refused to give up and said, "Then why are all the cars now powered by new energy sources? We should also use new energy sources."
Zhang Yumeng widened his glasses and looked at Yang Qian.
"What are you doing? I can't make that thing by myself. It's a nickel-cobalt-aluminum or nickel-cobalt-manganese battery. It has nothing to do with storage batteries, and I've never made it before."
Yang Qian pursed his lips, shook his head and said, "Okay, but you have to worry about this. If you can get it out, try to help me get it out."
"If it's really possible, then I'll just build a train carriage and transport the soldiers. The speed will definitely be faster than a horse-drawn carriage."
With such a look of despair, he suddenly pounced on Yang Gan and strangled him with his arms.
"Do you want me to die? I don't understand."
"Ahem, oh, you have to pursue something in life. When you have free time, just do some research and do the best you can. If you can't do it, I won't say anything to you."
Zhang Yumeng gritted her teeth and said, "Do it? If you are like you, just get a steam engine. It's easier to burn coal."
Zhang Yumeng was stunned for a moment and said strangely, "By the way, although I can't build a steam engine, you don't seem to be interested in steam engines."
Yang Gan grabbed Zhang Yu
Meng's arms relaxed and said, "I'm more environmentally friendly."
.......
Five days later, Yang Qian's affairs here were almost settled.
Everyone began to pack their bags, get on the carriage, and set off towards the next stop.
That was the last stop, and it was also the place that Yang Qian thought about deeply.
These three places are currently Yang Qian's most important projects.
If the Grand Canal is successfully excavated, it will bring massive wealth, massive amounts of food, and support for centralized power.
In a previous life, many people wondered why ancient people were so stupid. The system of enfeoffment was not enough and the system of prefectures and counties was the way to go. Why did many vassal states in the Zhou Dynasty and the Warring States period like the system of enfeoffment?
But those people seem to have forgotten that there is no problem if a small country establishes a system of counties and counties.
But if a big country wants to establish a system of counties and counties, the first thing to solve is the problem of communication and transportation.
The country is vast and there may be wars at the border. It will take several days or even ten days to notify you.
By the time the official document was received in the court, the border battle had been completed, which also raised the possibility that the border generals would have heavy troops.
Once the canal is built, cultural exchanges will still be possible between the east and west sides.
The winds are different in ten miles, and the customs are different in hundreds of miles. In this closed era, it is normal to find different customs after crossing a river.
On the carriage.
Yang Qian was sitting at the desk with a pen in hand, and next to him was a pile of official documents. These were not passed on by others.
It is a proposal written for future planning.
This is Zhang Yumeng’s most annoying work arrangement.
The carriage was in the middle, and was escorted by Xuanjia troops at the front, rear, and left. Yang Gan raised his own safety to almost the limit.
Unlike the construction of canals and straight tracks, the reports here at the dock are almost very punctual.
Tang Long and Li Si were waiting for Yang Qian's arrival at the beach early.
When the huge carriage drove up, everyone present was extremely shocked.
Wearing a black robe, a purple bun, and a pure gold hollow jade incense box around her waist, she matched that beautiful face.
The two characteristics of man and woman are strangely harmonious in Yang Qian, making it look not weird at all.
This woman looks so heroic.
This man is so handsome.
Even if there are doubts, this is the opinion at most.
"See you, Your Majesty~~~!"
The two of them, along with a large number of officials and craftsmen behind them, surrendered.
Yang Gan nodded, and after speaking to the craftsmen and officials for a while, he let them go back, leaving Tang Long and Li Si alone.
Yang Gan smiled and said, "I'm here just to see what the results are after a year of hard work."
Tang Long replied, "According to your Majesty's order, as long as there is no announcement, our warships need to continue to be built."
Yang Gan looked at the huge shipyard not far away, where the craftsmen were constantly directing the work, and couldn't help but feel a little more confident.
