At this time, Li Shimin was silent, looking at the scenery outside and thinking slightly.

Empress Changsun came to his side and said: "I didn't have much opportunity to see the magnificent scenery of my Tang Dynasty before, but after this train in the future, you can travel at any time, not affected by the weather, as long as there is a railway, there will be footprints left by us." ”

"Yes, the year I first met you was also the happiest years for me! In recent years, I have become more and more busy, and I rarely have time to spend with you, and I feel guilty! If I have a chance in the future, I will definitely accompany you well! ”

Li Shimin recalled.

In the past few years, after he became the emperor, his happy days have become less and less, and he forgets the time every day in order to deal with political affairs.

If there is a chance, Li Shimin will definitely go out for a tour.

"Yes, Your Majesty, we can take the train to any place in the future! It doesn't take too much time, just a few days a year, just as a break, which is also good! ”

Li Shimin nodded in agreement.

Then he suddenly asked, "Gao Ming, what is the core of this train?" ”

"It's the steam engine at the front of the car!"

Li Chengqian pointed to the place where the roaring whistle sounded and said.

"What can it do?"

Li Chengqian replied: "The steam engine can be used in mining, textiles and other industries that require labor, and can improve the efficiency several times. It can even be applied to ships to provide great power. ”

Li Shimin nodded and said: "If this is the case, it will be much more convenient for the transportation of goods and personnel between the north and south of the Tang Dynasty." ”

"That's it, everything we can think of, everything we can't think of, as long as there is a steam engine, it can be realized."

"In this way, I can't wait to let this train run all over Datang right away."

At this time, Li Chengqian took the opportunity to say: "Your Majesty, Erchen thinks that the train can be repaired to the Turkic territory first!" ”

As soon as he spoke, the crowd was puzzled.

Why?

Why?

"Why?"

"At that time, we can send the artillery army there, and all supplies can be reached in one day, and when the railway is completed, it will be the day when my Tang Dynasty recovers the Turks! Next, it's Gaochang! ”

Li Chengqian said with confidence.

"If it is built from Chang'an to Liangzhou, how much time will it take?"

"If there are enough people, the railway can be built there in less than a year!"

"That means a year from now, when we take the Turks!"

Li Shimin's face was filled with some excitement.

That was something I didn't dare to think of before, but now it's going to happen.

At that time, he was humiliated by the Turks, and it is still difficult to let go.

However, Fang Xuanling raised difficulties.

"However, if we are going to build a railway, we don't seem to have enough personnel!"

Li Chengqian also thought about this question.

All eyes were on him.

Li Chengqian smiled and said: "I have also thought about all this, the reason why I asked General Qin to bring back 30,000 prisoners is this reason!" ”

Du Ruhui exclaimed at this time.

"It turns out that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is far-sighted, and everything is well thought out!"

Li Shimin asked, "Is this the case with Gao Ming?" ”

Before, Li Chengqian did not explain what to do with the 30,000 people, but now he said: "That's right, these 30,000 people are still not enough, and more prisoners can be allowed to join them when the time comes." They will be assigned to mining and building railways! ”

When Li Chengqian said this, everyone gave a thumbs up and said, "High! It's really high! ”

"It turns out that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has already thought about the next step, and we are still too late."

"Hahaha, he really deserves to be my son! By the way, what are you going to do next? ”

Next, Li Shimin wanted to know how Li Chengqian would develop.

Li Chengqian said: "Next, first build the line between Chang'an and the Turks, and then mobilize the people to connect Guannei Province with Shannan Road and Jiannan Road by railway. Because it's close to Tibet! After that, it is to let the railway fill the land of Datang. ”

Li Chengqian's intention in doing this was very obvious, and after taking the Turks, Tibet would be his second target.

If the Tibetans are submissive, then it is good, if they are not convinced, as soon as the railway is built, it is the time to obey.

Someone asked, "What about Goguryeo?" ”

"Goguryeo needs to be built to the Khitan, when Goguryeo obeys, it will be Silla, and then it will be the Wa Kingdom, all those who are not subject to my Tang Dynasty, I will drive straight into it until they are convinced!"

Li Chengqian's face showed a fierce look.

This look makes people shudder.

But only externally, everyone will not feel uncomfortable.

"Good! In the future, it will be used as a territory to expand outward! ”

Li Shimin agreed.

I don't think there's a better way to do it.

First the Turks with civil strife, and then the backward Tibet.

They are all extremely dependent on Datang's economy, and they also have a war relationship with Datang.

The most hateful thing is the Turks, Jieli Khan forced Li Shimin to do a very unwilling thing, so that he is still haunted.

"Okay, that's all for today's discussion, let's take a look at the scenery around us!"

Li Shimin said that everyone has the psychology to watch the surrounding scenery, if there is a camera at that time, then the beauty of this journey will be recorded.

Before they knew it, the train had already run three times, and the people around them were reluctant to leave, and the more they looked at it, the more novel it became.

Looking at everyone's shocked eyes, Li Chengqian felt very satisfied.

At this time, suddenly a pair of eyes kept staring at him.

As soon as he was looking, the man came over.

"Chencen text to meet His Royal Highness the Prince!"

He is the prime minister of the Tang Dynasty and a literary scholar of Cen Wenwen, the grandson of Cen Shanfang, the general of the Eastern Han Dynasty, and the Shangshu of the Western Liang Dynasty.

He is a very talented person, and he is very loyal to Datang, and he is deeply loved by Li Shimin.

I don't know what to do when I look for him at this time, you must know that they don't have a particularly big intersection.

"Oh? You seem to have something to do with this king. ”

"His Royal Highness the Prince, I can't hide it. The minister has something to ask for! ”

"But it doesn't hurt to say it!"

"I have a student who admires your talent very much, so she asked her to come and ask to see you, I don't know if she can?"

"Who are the students?"

"Chen's student Zheng Liwan."

Zheng Liwan, the history books record Zheng Liwan: "The appearance is stunning, and it was beyond reach at that time." That's a generation of stunning beauties, and she's a talented woman, she must know Li Chengqian's deeds and specially ask Cen Wenwen to ask to see her.

Li Chengqian was also curious about whether Zheng Liwan was as beautiful as recorded in history, so he wanted to take a look.

So he said: "After a while, you will take her to the East Palace!" ”。

"His Royal Highness Prince Xie!"

After Li Shimin experienced the train, he held a celebration banquet to celebrate Qin Qiong's achievements, and the whole country celebrated for a while.
