Chapter 20 Friction of life

"Wow! This is the Double Dragon Bridge?! It's really a body of steel!"

After a rare trip to the Zheng family in Wuhan crossed the river, they went to Jiangxia to see the famous Shuanglong Bridge. The project was not completely completed, but it did not hinder the commuting.

There are guard booths at each bridgehead. When traffic flows are not busy, the guards in the guard booths do not come out to maintain order. Whenever someone grabs the road or fights to pass, they usually follow a whistle. The guards rushed out like evil dogs and smashed them with sticks.

This is the source of part of the bonus, and the test is a fine, so the white servants cannot let it go.

"I never thought that Jiangxia was so well organized. Where did this road lead to?"

"It's said that I can leave Xianning."

"If you can walk through Xianning, you can walk through Puqi. The roads and bridges in Wuhan are really amazing."

"I heard that those inside the factory were fantastic about building bridges on the Yangtze River."

"Is this possible?"

"God knows."

The people of Zheng's family said it was whimsical, but the existence of Wuhan was whimsical. The real steel bridge in front of them brought them more impact than imagined. Some Zheng's children were very excited: "Aren't you afraid that someone would come to steal iron?"

"There are guard posts on both sides, who dares to steal?"

After hearing this, the Zheng family members in Wuhan burst into laughter, "There are also people who steal railway tracks in Yongxing Coal Mine who were all arrested for death. The first time the Ministry of Justice did not approve it, but later Mr. Zhang forced himself to go up. The Ministry of Justice could not resist it. The lawsuit was even beaten to the imperial court, but wasn't it approved in the end?"

"This...just stealing, sin will not die."

Some Zheng family members looked at the people in Wuhan with pale faces. They didn't understand that they would be sentenced to death if they steal things? Is the management of Wuhan too harsh?

"Don't sin die? Do you know that if something happens to the railway tracks in Yongxing Coal Mine, it will be like one person or two people." After spending a long time in Wuhan, he naturally knows a lot of things, so the Zheng clan who stayed in the local area said to his fellow villagers, "Mr. Zhang insisted on killing people, which is also to shock them."

"This...is always a constant killing."

"Then keep killing, the thieves who crow and dogs are despised."

“That’s right.”

In fact, the people of the Zheng family did not know the inside story of the death sentence of stealing the rails. Lao Zhang did not force the death sentence. The person who really promoted this matter was Dong Li himself. The Ministry of Justice in turn had to fight against the emperor several times in order to get the emperor back to his life.

Because places like mines are very complicated, unjust cases are prone to occur. Once someone is framed and stolen, there is no way to explain it. It is right for whoever has more people and whoever has a loud voice, and the situation often turns into this.

Therefore, although Wuhan is hyping up to "steal the rails well, be careful to die early", the actual operation is not the case, and it is often changed to exile.

On the contrary, the emperor didn't care. What was the size of a few thieves who stole things when they died?

The most important thing is that in recent years, the person who has used more railway tracks is Mr. Li himself.

Xue Dading built a railway track in Liaodong that was not long and directly connected to the port terminal from Shicheng Steel Plant. This railway track is a horse-drawn, mainly transporting iron ingots, coke, wood, fur and other commodities. It is extremely efficient and is one of the few lines that can operate stably in winter.

Another railway was launched in Tianjin this year, with the goal of extending to Youzhou. Basically, the output of Shicheng Steel Plant has been hit on it.

The cost of military supplies and construction is not much.

In addition to these two railway tracks, Chang'an and Luoyang are also preparing to completely renovate the Jingluo board tracks, with three lines. No matter which one, Mr. Li cannot let someone steal the railway tracks. The Road Administration Office is a bit similar to the original canal transportation office. Now there are also people with wealth, but the scale is smaller and the influence is a little worse.

However, the practical bureaucrats introduced under the emperor in recent years often have a background in studying in Wuhan or the "Wuhan Department". In terms of "tracking technology", it is quite pragmatic. Therefore, the practical officials at the bottom can often influence the upper royal aristocrats, including princes and prince-level figures.

The typical example is King Li Ke of Wu. The telescopes purchased by the military are mainly provided by the King of Wu Mansion. Emperor Li himself knows the effect of the telescope.

If you cannot forbidden technological development, you can only conduct technological competition. This is helpless. On this basis, various strange organizations and ideologies will naturally evolve.

The emperor's construction of the rails has gone from ignorance to clarity, and he will naturally understand that the new technology has a great effect on improving road and bridge projects. So, when the rumor that the "Yongxing Elephant Machine" will become a source of power, like a horse dragging the carriage forward at a high speed, Li Shimin not only believes it, but also believes it very firmly!

He did not understand mechanics or engineering, and of course he did not have a profound understanding of mathematics. However, when his lackeys used a very rough calculation method to inform the steam locomotive that he might only run on the rails in the short term, the emperor's obsessive-compulsive disorder naturally played a role.

How short is this short term? It doesn't matter if it's ten years or ten months, but whoever stops the steam engine from running on his empire and whoever moves the rails will die.

The monarchs and ministers of the Zhenguan Dynasty were too entangled with the official and business groups of the "Wuhan Group" and wanted to easily separate them, unless they had violent conflicts, they all had to take sides and compete. When the dust settled, they would naturally find out.

But at this moment, I am afraid that the court may have the former Jiangnan Road demoted the ambassador, and the former Secretary of the Central Committee, Changsun Wuji, presided over the suppression of the rebellion. One of the leaders of the rebels, Zhao Duke Changsun Wuji, led Jiangnan people to confront each other across the river. The two Changsun Wuji fought with each other, and made a dog's brain...

When people are in the world, they cannot help themselves and come to this.

Lao Zhang had a few small expectations, such as the merchants, handicraftsmen, small prolific farmers in the Tang Dynasty, and small farmers who could make a big deal before they could go all out. However, all this naturally did not happen. One of the few major situations that happened was Juye County. If you pursue it, it was just that the animals in Juye County lost money and went bankrupt... that's all.

Therefore, the engineering dog who illegally traveled through time did not dare to say that he had a great enlightenment, but he also understood that no revolution would be nonsense until the day he was completely rubbed into a mental retardant.

If you travel through time again, Lao Zhang must ask the English rustics back then, how did you get rubbed for hundreds of years before you just overturn the table? After turning it over, you actually wiped the table clean and let the king and the queen continue to come over for dinner?

At the 24th year of Zhenguan, Old Man Zhang, who was over 30 years old, was very melancholy, but he also understood that after Zhenguan, he had not been rubbed for too long. Even the former Sui remnants and old Wude, had to make a calculation by tying his fingers and counting that I have not had a few days of full meal in my life, what bicycle do I need?!

Therefore, as an illegal traveling dog for powerful capitalists, no matter whether Zhang De wants or not, he has to rub against the factory owners, small and medium-sized aristocrats, handicraftsmen, small and medium-sized landlords, small farmers... He will not have a memory without friction, and he will not grow without friction.

After all, the saints say: friction, friction, like the devil's steps.
