Li Longji's heart moved, and he quickly nodded and said, "It makes sense, then I will take a look and when will I test it." ”

Recently, I've been in a bad mood, and I've had a lot of things, and I can't even listen to my favorite music, and I'm about to get depressed.

"Everything is ready, as long as the emperor arrives, you can test it at any time."

"You can drive forward without manpower and animal power, the flat and straight railway, interesting, I can't wait, Lux, you can arrange it, and you will set off tomorrow." Li Longji commanded.

Curiosity came up, if it weren't for seeing that it was noon, and Zheng Peng finally went home to see his pregnant wife, otherwise, he couldn't wait to set off now.

Gao Lishi hesitated for a moment and reminded in a low voice: "Your Majesty, the Ministry of Rites has arranged for the envoys of Japan and Dashi to go to court tomorrow, this is ......"

"Let them wait." Li Longji said indifferently.

The Tang Dynasty is the kingdom of the Celestial Empire, and those envoys are all here to see and show goodwill, not that they can meet whoever they want, when they want to see them, and whether they receive them or not depends on Li Longji's mood.

"The old slave obeys."

Out of the palace, Zheng Peng went home all night and lingered softly, and the next morning he joined Li's Longji and Cui Yuan and marched to Puzhou together.

To Zheng Peng's surprise, Li Longji did not go out of the palace in a big battle, but went out on patrol in micro-clothes, riding in a luxurious carriage without markings, and the palace maids and guards were dressed as ordinary maids and guards, and what was even more unexpected was that Concubine Wu Hui also followed Li Longji, so that she could see her unique position in Li Longji's heart.

The dirt road of Changluo Road has been opened, but it has not yet been completed, and signs prohibiting traffic have been set up at each intersection, but it is for ordinary people, and Zheng Peng is walking on the newly built Changluo Road.

The whole road is like a private road, flat and straight, and you can ride a horse and gallop wild.

"Your Majesty, this is Changluo Road, it's so spectacular, there's a feeling of endless sight." Concubine Wu Hui said with a look of surprise.

Sitting in the luxurious carriage of the four horses, seeing a wide, flat road that has always stretched to the east, especially when forcibly passing through the middle of a mountain, that kind of shock was unprecedented for Concubine Wu Hui.

Concubine Wu Hui has heard a lot about Zheng Peng's road construction, but she has not seen it with her own eyes, but now that she has seen it with her own eyes, she has a feeling of disbelief.

"Yes, when Zheng Peng wanted to build this road that day, no one was optimistic, including me, thinking that he was just having a hot brain, but I didn't expect him to really cultivate it, such perseverance is incredible." Li Longji also said with admiration.

Concubine Wu Hui said in surprise: "This road is not easy to repair, open the road in the mountains, build bridges in the water, those difficult to open the mountains, dig holes, how much does it cost, I heard that most of this money is raised by the champion candidate, it is amazing." ”

It's good for ordinary people to repair three or five miles, Zheng Peng's cultivation is more than a thousand miles, and it is still a high standard, how much does it cost, Rao is noble and well-informed Concubine Wu Hui was also shocked.

Coming out of the palace, Li Longji's mood was obviously much better, and he explained softly when he heard this: "When it comes to fighting, Zheng Peng is one of the best among many courtiers, and when it comes to making money, he thinks that he is second and no one dares to admit that he is the first, and he has earned tens of millions of family fortunes thrown here, and he has embezzled Zheng Cui's dowry, and it is said that there are millions of debts owed outside. ”

Speaking of this, Li Longji added: "Aifei, what do you think of this road? ”

"It's flat and straight, and it's wide enough, which is nice."

Li Longji smiled and said in an astonishing voice: "Let me tell you, this road is only half completed, and there is still a toss." ”

"It's all so well repaired, so smooth, it's only half repaired?" Concubine Wu Hui's eyes widened in surprise.

Li Longji simply told Concubine Wu Hui about Zheng Peng's rhetoric about the railway, and after Concubine Wu Hui heard it, she sighed and said: "The champion candidate is really a wonderful idea, how much time and money does it take, no wonder the emperor stopped the champion candidate's post, it turned out to be a disguised support for the champion candidate to do this, yes, the champion candidate can do what others can do, but others can't do what the champion candidate wants to do, like the champion candidate, the pillar of the country, you have to take special care." ”

Concubine Wu Hui's mind was on how to help her son Li Mao compete for the position of the crown prince, knowing that Zheng Peng was building roads, but she didn't expect Zheng Peng to build such a high standard, laying iron on the ground, which is equivalent to laying money on the ground, you must know that the price of iron is not low.

The dirt road on Changluo Road was repaired, Zheng Peng did not let people pass, but blocked it, so that the group did not even need to open the road and close the road, the road was unimpeded, and it only took half a day to reach the Changluo headquarters.

At this time, the Yulin Army had taken over the defense work in the Changluo Headquarters, and all the remaining slave laborers were isolated except for the necessary technical personnel.

There are many people, it is easy to mess up, and there are slaves captured from the battlefield in the slave labor, Li Longji is the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, the king of a country, and he can't make any mistakes, and the safety work must be done in place.

Lu Ping, Zhuang San and a group of craftsmen didn't expect the emperor to really come, and they were so excited that they saluted again and again.

After some etiquette, Li Longji walked to the front of the train, looked at the train that was nearly five zhang long, and said in surprise: "Zheng Aiqing, why is this train so long?" ”

"If you go back to the emperor, the investment is so large, the carrying capacity must not be worse than other vehicles, and you need to carry people or goods to be effective, now these are not long, there are only four carriages, in addition to one is power, one auxiliary, in fact, there are only two carriages that can be used, with my design, the ideal at least ten carriages."

Later generations of trains are the main means of transport, the use of double heads, can greatly increase the dynamic capacity, the most trains on the Daqin line can hang 140-180 carriages, of course, now Zheng Peng does not have this condition, is four carriages, but also have to take into account manpower and animal power.

Li Longji gently touched the steamer with some ice iron, and asked with interest: "This is the steamer?" ”

"If you go back to the emperor, yes." Zheng Peng patiently explained the performance and working principle of the sub-sections, and Li Longji kept nodding his head, even Concubine Wu Hui, who was following him, also looked at Zheng Peng with admiration, and faintly put Zheng Peng's position higher in his heart.

A person like Zheng Peng, who is talented and has no ambition and is not keen on officialdom, needs it at any time, no matter what time it is, if his son Li Mao sits on the throne, a talent like Zheng Peng must definitely be enveloped.

When visiting the carriage at the back, Concubine Wu Hui suddenly said strangely: "Hey, champion, what is the purpose of the carriage with so many stones?" ”

The carriages were framed with iron, boarded with planks, and had windows, but there were no people and no goods on them, only heavy piles of stones or iron.

Zheng Peng explained: "If you go back to Niangniang, you have to test it now, since you want to test it, you have to test its extreme working state, assuming that the weight reaches so much, whether it can be pushed smoothly." ”

"Can you push something so heavy?"

"I don't dare to deceive my mother, in fact, I only have half and half of it, and I dare to invite the emperor to watch, just to get a touch of the emperor's nobility, and I hope it will go smoothly."

I tested the tensile force when I was in the shed, and I felt that it was feasible, so I called Li Longji here, but there are no absolutes in everything, and Zheng Peng is not good at talking enough, leaving himself steps and leeway.

"I see" Concubine Wu Hui nodded, and said with an appreciative face: "It's still the champion who is still a champion who is safe and sincere, and this palace admires it." ”

When the vast majority of officials face inspection or supervision, they do whatever they look like, unlike Zheng Peng, who has to abuse himself, no matter how difficult it is.

Li Longji took the initiative to relieve pressure on Zheng Peng: "Don't be in a hurry, take your time, if you don't do it once, you will do it twice, and if you don't do it well twice, it will be ten times, I have confidence in you." ”

There was no precedent for what Zheng Peng did before, there was no comparison and no experience to learn from, Li Longji was also very tolerant of this, thought about it, and added: "If there is any difficulty, you can find me." ”

"Your Majesty." Zheng Peng was overjoyed in his heart and hurriedly thanked him.

Li Longji can create a prosperous era of Kaiyuan, which is enough to reflect his ability, as long as he is not immersed in women, he is still very reliable in speaking and doing things, and he will also win people's hearts.

"Alright, the train tour is over, let's start testing." Li Longji said a little impatiently.

"Wechen obeys."
