Li An stood in front of the table, seriously drawing the drawings of the underpass he envisioned, while Li Hanlu, who had nothing to do, stood next to Li An, looking at Li An who was drawing seriously, with a look of admiration on his face.

Sometimes, Ang Lee feels that he blames himself for being too good, so that the people around him look at him with such admiration, especially several of his pillow people.

There are many girls in later generations, and the criterion for choosing a mate is to choose a man who can make them admire all the time, which is the person they desire, so it is very difficult for a man at the bottom to find a daughter-in-law, and he can't even marry a daughter-in-law for a lifetime, because men at the bottom don't have any great skills, and it's really hard to be admired, and girls like to admire people who have skills, like Ang Lee, so this is a very helpless thing, and in this world, It is impossible for everyone to be as good as Ang Lee, and ordinary and vulgar people must occupy the majority, which is an unchangeable fact.

Always admired by the people around him, Li An's pressure is also very great, which requires himself to do more and better, otherwise, how can he be worthy of this admiration, if he stands still and can't make new achievements, these admiring eyes around him will become weaker, or even disappear completely, if there is such a big contrast, how can Li An stand it, the higher the cold, the better the person, sometimes the greater the pressure, to maintain his tall status and image, you need to work hard all the time, and it is okay to relax occasionally, But you can't be relaxed all the time, and the results that should be done must be done, otherwise, it will plummet.

It is precisely because of this truth that Ang Lee has never given up on continuing to develop new machinery, and only by making himself useful all the time can he maintain his position.

"What is this drawing?"

Li Hanlu watched it for a long time, and finally couldn't help it, and asked.

Li An replied with a smile: "This is the underground passage of the capital, look at the one next to it, it is the underground parking garage that is about to be built, that is, the underground parking garage next to Pingkangfang, which was built by King Guangping." ”

"Oh, I know, how many entrances and exits did you pass last time? It's just that it's too dark and dirty inside, so I didn't go in, why, the imperial court really plans to build such a large-scale underground passage, which will cost a lot of money. ”

Li Hanlu opened his mouth and said.

"The imperial court has not yet decided, but how to prepare first, as for spending a lot of money, then don't worry, the most important thing the imperial court is now is money."

Ang Lee said with a smile.

"Oh, that's right! What is this? What is this? ”

Li Hanlu naturally couldn't understand the content on the drawings, so she asked curiously, and Li An was not in a hurry, and explained little by little, and the whole carriage was happy.

Because I stayed in the Phoenix Valley for a long time before, the vehicle accelerated to a certain extent on the road after that, and the speed was much faster than before, so before dark, the vehicle had already driven to Huachishui in Juzhou, and beyond Huachishui, there was Dapan Mountain in front of it, which was also a big mountain of no small scale.

Under the illumination of the setting sun, the water of Huachi exudes a dazzling light, which looks very beautiful and full of charming charm, and the Dapan Mountain in the distance is even more comfortable.

The water of Huachi was only a flash and disappeared quickly, but the Dapan Mountain in front of it continued to stretch, and the railway passed through the valley in the middle of the Dapan Mountain, bringing some life to the mountain.

According to Li An's common sense, in the era of the Tang Dynasty, as long as there are mountains, there will definitely be bandits, especially mountains like Dapan Mountain, there must be a lot of bandits, and for a small number of bandits in the mountains within the territory, the court really does not have much energy to ask, as long as the bandits are not too excessive and do not make too much movement, the court will turn a blind eye, and if the bandits are too bold and do something harmful to the court, then the court will not turn a blind eye, and will definitely send officers and soldiers to encircle and suppress.

For example, ordinary bandits of dozens or hundreds of people, living happily in the mountains, occasionally robbing pedestrians and caravans passing by, and rarely harming people's lives, then the imperial court will only do a pretentious encirclement and suppression, once it cannot achieve good results, it will go home, but if there are a large number of bandits with tens of millions of people, gather together to call the king and emperor, and even occasionally capture a county seat, and loot the property of the county, it is not a trivial matter, it is a very big event, and the imperial court will inevitably send troops to encircle and suppress, and even never give up until the goal is achieved.

Since ancient times, the attitude of the feudal court towards bandits and bandits has always been like this, as long as it is not excessive, it is generally not managed, and it is really impossible to manage, especially for the bandits in the deep mountains, it is really difficult to exterminate, once the officers and soldiers go less, they will be eaten, and if there are too many officers and soldiers, they will flee, and play hide and seek with the officers and soldiers in the mountains, so that the army of the imperial court is exhausted, and finally has to retreat because it cannot be consumed, after all, the imperial court also has to calculate the cost of suppressing bandits, There are too many bandits and bandits in the world, if every small group of bandits uses too much strength to encircle and suppress, then, even if all the funds of the imperial court are used to suppress the bandits, it is impossible to exterminate all the bandits, besides, the main army of the feudal empire is used to defend the royal country, and it is unlikely that too many resources will be spent on suppressing bandits, and the feudal empire does not have such strength, or rather, it really can't take care of it.

But for the sake of its own prestige, as long as the bandits in a certain place are more serious, the court will still send troops to encircle and suppress them, so as to play a role in calming people's hearts, but in the case of limited resources, most of the bandits can only rely on local forces to be responsible, and the strength of officers and soldiers in each place is very limited, for example, there are only a few hundred officers and soldiers in many counties, and the pressure is too great to exterminate bandits and bandits with such a small force, and even, the number of bandits and bandits in this county is several times that of officers and soldiers. It is even more impossible to fight, and even, the officers and soldiers have to hide from the bandits, so as not to lose their own lives.

Because of this, therefore, since ancient times, there is a saying, called the strong dragon does not suppress the head of the snake, entrenched in the mountainous area of all walks of life bandits, are worthy of the name of the head snake, are not easy to provoke, none of them are fuel-efficient lamps, even if the officials sent by the imperial court to the local area, in the face of the vicious bandits and bandits, many times can only swallow their anger, and even, have to be with them, that is, what people call the official bandit family.

The officials colluded with the bandits and bandits, some because of interests, and some were forced to be helpless, who made these local snakes too powerful? Since it can't be eradicated, it can only be appeased, or even cooperated, and both sides take a step back and take what they need, which is good for everyone.

The Dapan Mountain in front of him is too far away from the capital, and it is a mountainous area that Li An usually doesn't pay attention to, so how many bandits and bandits in this mountain are really unknown, and besides, this is far away from the capital, whether there are bandits and bandits infested, it doesn't seem to have much impact, as long as these guys don't affect the normal passage of the train, but if they dare to rob the train transportation line, or destroy the railroad tracks, it is a big crime, and the army of the imperial court must have come to encircle and suppress it, At that time, none of the bandits and bandits in the entire Dapan Mountain will be able to escape, and when the Son of Heaven is angry, he can turn the Dapan Mountain into ashes with a fire, let alone eliminate the bandits.

However, the bandits in Dapan Mountain obviously don't have the guts, the railroad has been built for so long, and the news of the robbery has not reached the capital, which shows that there has been no robbery of the train, even if there are thieves in the local area, it is also timid and regular, not too harmful, and Li An is too lazy to ask, only the more serious Xiazhou horse thief disaster can arouse some attention and attention from Li An.

"This mountain is so big! After walking for such a long time, I am still in this big mountain, and the sky is almost dark. ”

Li Hanlu opened his mouth and said.

Li An nodded and said, "That's right! This Dapan Mountain is indeed not small, and the scenery is also very good, and it is not much different from the mountains in Yingzhou, but there are fewer trees, and there are many more trees in our Yingzhou than here. ”

"That's right! The scenery around Yingzhou is better than here, there are many trees there, and there is a lot of game, and the trees here are too scarce, there are not too many wild things, and there seem to be few villages here. ”

Li Hanlu opened his mouth and said.

Li An took Li Hanlu into his arms and said, "Hanlu, we have been away from Yingzhou for more than ten years, do you want to go back and see?" ”

"A little! After being away from the tribe for so long, I don't know how the people in the tribe are doing. ”

Li Hanlu opened his mouth and said

Li An gently kissed Li Hanlu's forehead, and said softly: "Datang is getting richer and richer, they must be doing well, next time find an excuse, let's go to Yingzhou to have a look, and also go to your tribe to have a look." ”

"Really? Can we really have a chance to go to Yingzhou to have a look? ”

Li Hanlu obviously misses his hometown a little, after leaving the tribe for so many years, he has never had the opportunity to return to the tribe to take a look, he really misses the tribe very much, if he has the opportunity, he will definitely be willing to go back and take a look, even if it is just for a day, it is good.

Li An smiled and said: "Of course it's true, can I still lie to you, now Datang is full of railways, no matter where you go, it's very convenient, and it won't take too long to go back and forth, so why can't you go." ”

For going to Yingzhou, Li An also has plans in this regard, after all, he hasn't gone back for so many years, and it's time to go back and take a look, I don't know what Yingzhou has become at the moment, how the lives of the people are doing, how the nomads of the northern tribes get along with the farming people, whether they can get along peacefully, whether the prey in the forests of Yingzhou has become less, and the bandits and bandits are still there, I want to know all these situations.

Of course, what Ang Lee wants to know most is whether the house in his hometown is still there, whether the house he built with his own hands is still in place, whether it has become a ruined wall, or whether his hometown has completely disappeared and become a forest.

Li An is not very clear about these situations, for so many years, Li An has no time and energy to take care of the affairs of his hometown, even if he sends someone to Yingzhou to investigate, he can't give the person who inquires a specific address, so naturally there is no way to investigate, and naturally there is no way to know about the affairs of his hometown.

Although I have long wanted to go to my hometown to see, but Yingzhou is still too far away after all, there is no good reason, it is better not to go, otherwise, it will set a bad example for the officials of Datang.

But now that the telegraph has been made, even if Li An is far away, he can still know the situation in the capital in time, and carry out timely response and treatment, so that wherever he goes, he will not delay his work, and any place can become Li An's work place, including the carriage of the train.

"It's great to be able to go to the tribe, but this time I came out, only I was with me, and the next time I went to Yingzhou, would it be me?"

Li Hanlu looked at Li An and asked with some embarrassment.

After all, it's a happy thing to come out to play, and if you take one of her out every time, the rest of the sisters will be unhappy, which is not conducive to unity.

Li An thought for a while, and said: "This is easy to do, next time I go to Yingzhou, bring all the family members, even male and female servants, and travel with my family, so it's good!" ”

This time, Li An also had such a plan, but there were horse thieves in the north, and when he thought of danger, Li An gave up, and if he traveled specifically next time, there was nothing wrong with bringing the whole family.

"The whole family goes to Yingzhou together? Is this really possible? Will His Majesty agree? ”

Li Hanlu asked with some suspicion.

Li An said with a smile: "What's wrong with this, as long as I can make meritorious contributions, when the time comes, Your Majesty asks me what reward I want, I will tell Your Majesty directly, let Your Majesty reward our family for a month of travel, I believe Your Majesty will not object." ”

"Rewarding the whole family for a month of travel, this is quite fresh, maybe Your Majesty will really agree!"

Li Hanlu also knows Ang Lee's ability, as long as Ang Li can make great contributions to the imperial court, it is necessary to be rewarded, allowing a trip for a month can be regarded as a very interesting reward, and it does not cost a penny of the imperial court, why not?

The light outside the window is getting weaker and weaker, and the sun is about to set, and even at this time, the vehicle is still in the Dapan Mountain, and has not yet left the range of the Dapan Mountain.

When you go to see Dapan Mountain when there is light, you see more beautiful scenery, and after it is completely dark, the view is a bit solemn.
