"Ticket sales will begin in Xianyang and Yanmen County in three days, and the train will officially open in five days!"

Little Shota announced.

"yes!"

Huang Yuan responded excitedly.

When this news is published in the newspapers, I believe the people in the city will be even more excited than him!

"By the way, young master, the steel produced in the steel mills every day is in short supply. Why not... stop the manufacturing of steamships first and concentrate all the steel on the building of trains?"

Huang Yuan asked tentatively.

Although steamships can travel thousands of miles a day, they are limited to coastal areas and cannot travel on land like trains.

Even for transporting goods, it can only be convenient for some coastal counties and is not widely used!

It was said that it could be used for military purposes, and the imperial court also established a navy, but no money was ever used to purchase it.

Not to mention the common people, very few people can afford it, and the investment is huge and the return on investment is slow.

It’s better to stop first and put all the resources on the train. At the very least, you can make more money and get your money back early!

"Absolutely not...!"

However, he was severely rejected by young shota, "How many steamships have been built now?"

"There are forty or fifty ships anyway!"

Huang Yuan made an estimate and said.

After the steamship was successfully launched, the craftsmen in the shipyard were divided into three shifts and worked day and night!

But unexpectedly, after production, it was unsalable and kept in the yard of the shipyard!

If the production continues, there will be no space left in the yard!

"Don't worry, I have my own way!"

Xiao Zhengtai rolled his eyes and had an idea.

The reason why the imperial court did not take any action was because there was no war overseas and no benefits were seen.

As long as they saw the benefits, not only the imperial court would take the initiative to pay for the purchase, but even the private sector would go out of their way to buy steamships!

"yes!"

Huang Yuan nodded in response.

…

Three days later, Ying Zheng once again summoned King Donghu and Queen Loulan at the Qilin Hall.

This time, after seeing Ying Zheng, the two teams behaved more respectfully, not even daring to raise their heads!

The arrogance of the two kings is completely gone!

In addition, King Donghu and Queen Loulan have always been uneasy in their hearts.

I wonder what Ying Zheng has been thinking about these days and whether he can agree to their request?

During these three days, apart from eating and sleeping, they almost never stopped for a moment. They have been visiting all kinds of new things in Xianyang City, which really overwhelmed them!

Today's Great Qin not only has advanced weapons, but the quality of life of its people has also improved a lot!

The common people had surplus grain at home and bought large quantities of refined salt at will.

There is no need to sit on the floor anymore, and sleeping has been transformed from a low bed into a large double bed.

If you like, you can also create it as a group of three or more people!

The most important thing is that most taxes have been reduced. Now people only need to pay a small amount of symbolic tax!

All the people’s faces were filled with smiles and their lives were very satisfying!

Not to mention the industry, the arsenal shocked them on the first day!

Next there will be steel mills, shipyards and other large industrial plants!

While making the country strong, it also provides many job opportunities to the people!

After visiting these, they were even more convinced that what they were doing was right.

If they had not surrendered earlier, once Great Qin took action, they would not have any room to fight back!

"I have been busy with government affairs and have been slacking off a bit these past few days. I wonder if you two are satisfied with your visit to Xianyang City?"

After seeing the reactions of the two teams, Ying Zheng nodded with great satisfaction and asked in a deep voice.

"Da Qin has a vast territory and rich resources. Your Majesty has to deal with all kinds of things every day. It's really hard work! Under the leadership of the captain, I have traveled half of Xianyang and deeply felt the gap between our Donghu and Da Qin. Dong Hu is willing to be a vassal state of Da Qin and come to the DPRK every year.

, pay tribute every year, I hope your majesty will allow it!"

The words of King Donghu were true and touching.

If Ying Zheng can nod, not only will the people of Donghu be spared the suffering of the war, but maybe the people will also be able to benefit from the glory of the Qin Dynasty and live a prosperous life!

Back then, the Xiongnu had no food to eat when winter came, so they could only act like bandits, going to neighboring countries to rob homes and homes.

But after being annexed by the Qin Dynasty, trade was opened with each other, and a lot of high-yielding grain seeds flowed to the land of the Xiongnu. Even the smelly wool could be transported to the Qin Dynasty for money.

The lives of the Xiongnu people have improved a lot!

Some time ago, I heard that a Xiongnu tribe suffered from drought, so I reported it to the local government with a tentative attitude.

Unexpectedly, the government immediately sent a message to Xianyang, and not long after, relief food was distributed to allow them to survive safely!

It was precisely this that made him determined to come to Xianyang and give it a try!

"The scenery of Da Qin is beautiful, with flowers everywhere. Silk and cotton make Loulan feel inferior. Woolen textiles are unheard of. Loulan is really impressed. If His Majesty Da Qin can allow Loulan to become a vassal state, we will come to court every year and pay tribute every year!

"

Queen Loulan also bowed and said some words of admiration.

Ying Zheng nodded with satisfaction. Obviously, their horses were very useful in taking pictures!

"Okay! Just wish Ling Si didn't neglect it!"

"I have already discussed the matter of the vassal country with all the ministers...!"

Speaking of this, Ying Zheng deliberately paused to whet the appetite of the two teams.

Sure enough, when they heard what Ying Zheng said, the two teams suddenly raised their heads and stared at the person on the throne above with longing eyes, praying in their hearts, hoping to hear good news next!

King Donghu and Queen Loulan even dared not take a breath for fear of missing something!

"Agree that Donghu and Loulan will become our vassal states of Great Qin!"

Ying Zheng observed the facial expressions of the two countries with great interest, and finally nodded with satisfaction.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty...!"

The two teams of foreigners thanked each other in unison, and the shouts were as loud as hundreds of people.

After waiting for three days in Xianyang, I was also worried for three days. Fortunately, these three days were not in vain. I finally got the good news!

Everyone suddenly smiled, and Queen Loulan even hugged the maid next to her to vent her joy!

"But don't be too happy too early, I also have conditions!"

Just when they were cheering for joy, Ying Zheng took the lead and poured a basin of cold water on them.

"Your Majesty, please speak!"

Everyone quickly calmed down their emotions and bowed their hands respectfully.

"From now on, the two countries will become counties and counties of our Great Qin. The king will also be reduced to a governor, and the officers and soldiers will be demoted to civilians. They will be replaced by officers and soldiers sent by our Great Qin. As for the way of governance, I have nothing to do with it!"

Ying Zheng stated his conditions in a deep voice.

This is also the safest way!

Although with Great Qin's strength, there is no fear that they will rebel in the future and break away from Great Qin's control.

But it's too troublesome, and you have to deal with them if you want to fight back. It's better to let Da Qin's officers and soldiers take over directly and monitor their every move.

As long as they have no different intentions, they can do whatever they want!

"Forehead……"

Everyone in the palace was stunned for a moment, looked at each other, and then agreed, "Everything will be subject to His Majesty's arrangements!"

The county guard should be a county guard. As long as there is no war and the people can continue to live a stable life, their goal will be achieved!
Chapter completed!
