Chapter 9 Speed ??first in order to strengthen the country

The next morning, Qin Shou had to get up early to go to the morning court before dawn. When Wu Shun came in with his toiletries himself, Qin Shou suddenly realized what was missing. The naughty Tao Yue and the caring little girl Wang Xinyi who had never appeared. After Wu Shun told the truth, Qin Shou realized that the two daughters had something to go out for a while.

Qin Shou was much more relieved to take care of these things, and Qin Shou had to wash up quickly, teased Wu Shun and rushed out after teasing him. Today there will be earth-shaking changes. All these changes depend on whether Boss Li is willing to nod and vigorously promote and implement them.

Stepping on the outdated carriage, in the wandering carriage, Qin Shou was planning ahead to think about how to implement the next plan. Steam trains are imperative to start building. The resources of an empire are broader than its own limited resources. Moreover, the benefits of the establishment of a steam train are unlimited to the Tang Dynasty!

When Qin Shou, who had arrived late, arrived at the palace gate, the discipline inspection officer was almost closed. The ministers who had gotten up early had already entered the palace to wait for the court. Qin Shou entered the palace gate on time with a black look on the face of the discipline inspection officer. Of course, the fourth-level disabled Cheng Fairy came later than Qin Shou.

Not long after Qin Shou stepped into the palace gate, a large forbidden palace guard in the palace escorted the Feng Seal out of the palace. Qin Shou saw the Feng Seal out of the palace and subconsciously sighed silently, and rushed to the main hall of the Chaohui Association, thinking in his heart that this court meeting must have had a great ups and downs, and even after the court meeting, domestic violence was not an exaggeration.

In the Tai Chi Hall, all the civil and military officials stood step by step, waiting for the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty to come to court to discuss matters. Compared with the past, the civil and military officials were full of energy today. They seemed to be waiting for something and looking forward to something. Qin Shou, as the main master, came late and entered the main hall with time almost at the same time as Boss Li.

"If you have a book, you will leave the court without a book!" After a series of monotonous kneeling and watching the march of a group of ministers and the smoke ghosts meeting, Boss Li felt a headache. Under the tobacco work, he slowly filled the tobacco. On the surface, he was talking nonsense, but in fact he had already guessed that nothing was wrong.

The ministers secretly studied most of the night in Qinshou Mansion. Except for the people of Changsun Yin and the old Confucius, most civil officials such as the Imperial College did not participate in the meeting, and almost no one of the others left behind. Of course, there were also Cheng Yaojing, who was accidentally seriously injured at home, but they did not participate in the meeting. Boss Li thought of Cheng Yaojing's matter, and the eunuch's announcement came from outside the palace gate.

"Let's wait for you to see you outside the palace!" As soon as the eunuch's announcement fell, Boss Li shouted a little with a strange expression. After Xue Gao replied sharply, Cheng Yaojing lay comfortably on the sedan chair under the shocked look of all the civil and military officials. Carried by two sweaty palace guards, Cheng Yaojing shamelessly smoked a big bamboo cigarette in the sedan chair.

"Old minister, please see the emperor..." Cheng Yaojing put down the bamboo cigarette and bowed his fists to meet him. Boss Li waved his hand and felt a headache to show that there was no need for too much politeness. Cheng Yaojing was seriously injured and came to court. It was really unexpected. Not only Boss Li, but Qin Shou, who was hiding behind the civil minister, was the same. He couldn't figure out what happened to Cheng Yaojing?

"Here, here, let go, roll, clumsy!" Cheng Yaojing shamelessly directed the palace guards to put down himself and go to the Feng Shui treasure land. In the end, he still thought the palace guards were clumsy, which caused the ministers and Boss Li to look at him with a dark look. This guy was really deadly.

"Well~ I'm sorry, I have a memorial to make a memorial, but I don't have a memorial to retreat to the court!" After disturbing the Cheng Fairy who had come out of the way, Boss Li had to calm down and repeat the memorial to the court again. If I don't have a memorial to retreat to the court, the quiet ministers didn't know what was going on, but they even started to understand each other.

The ministers who participated in the Qin Mansion maintained a tacit understanding last night, and Boss Li didn't think it was strange, but Changsun Yinren and Confucius maintained a tacit understanding and a lack of foundation for the report. It was indeed a bit strange. They all colluded with each other? But this is unlikely. Boss Li, who really couldn't figure it out, had to wait patiently.

"Uh... I'm reporting to the emperor, I'm going to report it!" When Boss Li was just smoking, Qin Shou didn't know how to squeeze out the evil spirit's team. Under Boss Li's squinting eyes, he stinged his head and made a gun to shoot the pioneer of the bird. He had already cursed the evil spirit who had hit him.

"Well~ I'm sorry, but I said it's okay!" Boss Li nodded seriously and smoked dry cigarettes in a hurry. In the blink of an eye, with the addition of Cheng Fairy, the entire Tai Chi Palace became smoky. The palace maids and eunuchs wanted to cough but dared not cough under the smoke. Sometimes they held their breath and took deep breaths torment.

Qin Shou let out a breath of smoke, frowned and sorted out his mind, and said, "Your Majesty, now that the official road of the Tang Dynasty is under construction, it has temporarily alleviated the time of traveling far away, but this alone is not enough. Another new type of transportation is needed. Shortening the distance between different places is the hard truth!"

"Tsk! Speak lightly, can you brag about the fat and cumbersome fat chicken?" As soon as Qin Shou finished speaking, before Boss Li could nod and agreed with Qin Shou's words, Cheng's evil disdain sounded, and he seemed to find fault on purpose or not, which made Boss Li's angered gaze appear at the same time.

"Ah~~ God kills you! My legs are my old hooligan!!" With a snap, Cheng Yaojing's soft sedan chair suddenly broke and the foot of the foot. The Cheng Yaojing, who was out of control, rolled to the ground in a mess, let out a miserable scream, rolling and screaming in pain. The sudden change made Boss Li get up in anger.

"Come here, send Duke Lu to the Imperial Medical Center!" With a call from Boss Li, two palace guards walked into the palace gate, lifted the sad and howling Cheng Yaojing left, leaving behind the confused gaze of the ministers in the palace. I don't know what the Cheng Yaojing was suffering. The sedan chair collapsed and rolled to the ground.

"Brother Jing, you're so smart!" Li Ji raised his thumbs up quietly and praised Li Jing's ruthless behavior of destroying his friends for the sake of justice. Others may not have found anything, but Li Ji, who was beside Li Jing, witnessed from beginning to end. How could Li Jing's little move be hidden from Li Ji's eyes?

"If the evil spirits do bad things, you should continue to suffer from chaos and annoyance!" Li Jing said Li Ji's speechless words. Li Jing was like this. It was the critical moment when he suffered an emergency problem. He would take decisive measures without hesitation. Indecision can easily cause bad things. Instead, it will cause himself to suffer losses. Cheng's fairy is one of the disasters.

Fang Xuanling and other civil officials seemed to have guessed the problem of Cheng Yaojing, but they pretended to be stupid and didn't know anything. The civil officials were also very disgusted by the Cheng Yaojing rashly attacking and causing damage. Li Jing spoke out more and catered to their tastes, and was happy and calm. The Changsun Yin people kept a silent attitude. It was incredible!

"What Qin Aiqing said is reasonable. I am curious. What is the so-called new type of transportation in Qin Aiqing?" After Cheng's fairy made trouble, Boss Li got to the point. He glanced at Qin Shou, and nodded thoughtfully. He sprayed a mouthful of smoke, looking forward to the reveal below Qin Shou.

Mr. Li has more or less immune to Qin Shou's new things, so of course he cannot rule out big new things. Now Qin Shou is secretly showing off his secrets, which makes Mr. Li feel itchy and angry at the same time. Most of the ministers know about the feelings, but only he is the last one.

Qin Shou did not start with the topic of steam trains, but instead asked Boss Li: "Your Majesty, I dare to take the initiative to say, "Your Majesty, are you satisfied with the current transportation situation now? How much time does it take to travel and visit? How much does the transportation process consume? Message communication and cargo transfer are required..."

"This..." Boss Li was speechless under Qin Shou's series of rhetorical questions, and he didn't know what Qin Shou wanted to express. Not only did Boss Li look speechless and entangled, but even the ministers who knew in advance were confused. He didn't know what Qin Shou wanted to do? Why did he go off topic when he was free?

Qin Shou, who had off topic, got back to the topic again. After thinking about the words, he asked bluntly: "I am brave enough to ask the emperor a question. Taking the current Tang Dynasty fast horse as an example, and taking the distance from Luoyang to Chang'an as an assumption, if something big happens in Luoyang, how many hours will it take to send the fast horse to Chang'an?"

The ministers were relieved when they heard Qin Shou start to enter the question, and Boss Li frowned and said unhappily: "Well, is this a test of me? Well, if you go to Chang'an to Luoyang for 800 miles, it will take about one day to arrive. I wonder if you are satisfied with this answer?"

No wonder Boss Li was so sulky. Qin Shou said this clearly, which was suspected of testing people. Who would care about these major affairs of the government? Eight hundred miles of rush is the fastest speed now. On the way, you need to prepare a few horses to take turns to ride. This is also a solution that can’t be done. Fast horses are already the fastest speed.

"I'm sorry for my courage. I wonder if the emperor has heard of it. If you want to make a strong country first, you should be quick!" Qin Shou did not feel flinched because of Boss Li's unhappy gaze. He continued to fall into the main topic but got to the main topic again. This time, not only Boss Li was confused, but also the ministers suddenly felt enlightened and nodded in support and approval.

"Why do you want a strong country to be fast first? I'm confused and come quickly!" Boss Li, who was confused about Qin Shou, couldn't help but sit still. The closer he got to the answer, Qin Shou would have a move that seemed to be asking questions or answers, and he was so anxious that he would be so anxious!

Qin Shou was still not anxious or impatient to Li Boss Li's taste, and explained calmly: "Speed ​​is the foundation of the country, and it is also the same for conveying information. Traveling and visiting are indispensable, and the transportation industry is also indispensable. Transferring supplies from south to north, fruits and vegetables and other daily necessities are also indispensable..."

Boss Li didn't feel anything about Qin Shou's previous words, but it was different later. It was transferred south to north, including daily necessities such as fruits and vegetables. This is the most tangled thing in the Tang Dynasty today. Some in the south do not have one in the north, and the other hand, the same goes for the same thing. Even if it was transported from a long distance, it had already been exposed to the sun or was bumpy and rainy on the road.

When the ministers heard Qin Shou say such a few things, they nodded with great emotion and were excited. After Qin Shou's detailed explanation, the steam train has really become an indispensable treasure. If it is really opened and implemented, it will inevitably break the missing items in the north-south boundary for easy trading.

"What exactly is it?!" Boss Li was already impatient at this time. He wanted to know the new items of Qin Shou's drank foot taste, but Qin Shou, who was not very flat, was not impatient, which made Boss Li both angry and annoyed, and he had no tricks on him. Just breaking the transportation of north and south is enough to attract people.

Qin Shou, who was swaying Li’s taste, knew how to relax and limited secrets, said: “I reported to the emperor, what I said is a steam train. I travel thousands of miles a day without feeling tired. I carry thousands of people and easily travel around the country, and carry thousands of tons of cargo at will. This is a must-have for travel. It is a necessity for traveling at home!”

"Absurd! Lord Qin is a demonic word that confuses the public. How can such a magical thing come from the world?" As soon as Qin Shou's words fell, Confucius, who had been silent, finally showed his power. He shouted that Qin Shou's demonic word that confuses the public. Regardless of whether others believe it or not, Confucius chose not to believe it. He was not tired when traveling thousands of miles a day. He really thought it was a sweat-blooded BMW? Even if it was a sweat-blooded BMW, he was exhausted when traveling thousands of miles a day, and he was not tired when traveling thousands of miles a day? Who should he fool?

Li Jing was the first to stand up to refute Confucius's words: "Mr. Kong's words are wrong, and he has not seen the truth. How can he make a conclusion? The emperor, the old minister believes that this move is beneficial to the country and the people, and should be highly recommended. Not to mention anything else, just transporting materials will be of great benefit to the war food and grass first..."

Boss Li didn't say anything. He had never heard of or seen the steam train that Qin Shou mentioned. However, Qin Shou's steam four-wheeler is indeed very useful. It does not require human trampling, nor does it require horses to pull it away. Boss Li has not verified the speed, but the same horse voice as the experimenter Mao Commander is enough to convince Boss Li.

"Your Majesty, I think this matter is feasible!" Fang Xuanling followed him up with an agreement after Li Jing finished speaking. Boss Li had already expected Fang Xuanling's actions, but after Fang Xuanling made the ministers' support voices one after another, which made Confucius stunned. He didn't understand what happened to these colleagues?

"Well, Qin Aiqing, just for the steam train, how much manpower and material resources do I need to pay? How much is the profit?" With the unanimous support of the ministers, Boss Li couldn't avoid going with the flow. What he cares most about is the price and effort of the steam train, as well as the operational results. Things that have no benefits will not be so concerned about attracting people.

As soon as Boss Li opened his words, Master Confucius was speechless, isolated and helpless, and could not refute the act of expendable people and hurting money. Every time Qin Shou proposed, what is the act of expendable people and hurting money? As for the expansion of Chang'an, there is still a lot of messes. The construction of east and west makes Chang'an messy, at least that's what Master Confucius thought.

Qin Shou said in an orderly manner: "Your Majesty, the steam train involves unpredictable manpower and material resources. I can't say for a while. As a pilot to show the effectiveness, I used Chang'an and Luoyang as the starting and ending points to establish a one-way round-trip railway to test the results!"

As soon as Qin Shou finished his words, Boss Li immediately became entangled, unable to predict or be sure, saying that the construction funds were bottomless pits, and the construction of the canal had not started much, and now there was a sky-high railway. Boss Li felt entangled and embarrassed, and how could the fish and bear's paws to torture him?

Qin Shou, who had smashed the stones himself, once again threw out attractive benefits: "As for profit, I believe that all the colleagues here know that shortening the time of travel is more valuable than anything else, not to mention that the price difference between goods transferred from south to north is immeasurable, not to mention that the ticket price for one person travel is set at 10 yuan or 20 yuan, how many thousand people are there..."

I have to say that Qin Shou's sweetness caused the ministers to exclaim and breathe in the air. Even Boss Li couldn't help but feel slightly moved. If Qin Shou said it was true, the price of one person would be 100 yuan, ten people would be 100, hundreds of people would be 1,000, and thousands of people would be 10,000. What is the speed of making money?

If the pilot is successful and overtime is running shifts, it will be a money-making machine that can make money every day! It not only benefits the country but also generally benefits the people, and can shorten the time between the two places back and forth. I believe that many wealthy people will take the initiative to choose steam trains. Time is money, which is an eternal law.

When Boss Li nodded seriously, Li Jing stood up to support Qin Shou, and said passionately: "Master, the steam train is really a must-built for the Tang Dynasty. The old minister is willing to pay his own wealth to participate in it, respond to Lord Qin's steam train, and seek benefits for the people and benefit the Tang Dynasty!"

"Your Majesty, I have a little wealth in my family. I am willing to spend all my money! I will benefit the people and benefit the Tang Dynasty!" As soon as Li Jing finished his words, Li Ji and Yuchi Jingde stood up at the same time, and volunteered to disperse all my money's generosity and righteousness in unison. They had already reached an agreement on the small door and small paths inside.

"Emperor, please..." "Emperor..." This time it was Confucius' turn to be speechless and Changsun Yinren. It would be fine if the military officer supported Qin Shou. With the self-evident relationship between Qin Shou and the military officer, even the civil servants have unified support, which is something they did not expect.

"Okay, Qin Aiqing, after the court meeting was over, you will be ready to hand over the detailed memorial!" Boss Li had no choice but to agree. Now he finally understood what the ministers discussed in Qin Shou's mansion last night. His feelings were to discuss the interests of the steam train operation. Qin Shou dared to make such a big fuss, probably full of confidence.

"All my dear friends have memorials?" After the ministers shouted, Mr. Li showed a strange look on his face and said the ministers in a foggy way. He guessed in his heart that Mr. Li was eager to retreat to the court again and again. What was the so-called thing? Only Qin Shou, who knew about the situation, saw the opportunity and hid in the back of the civil minister as soon as possible, so as not to show his culprit when he saw it. There is no airtight wall in the world?

"Xue Gao, announce the imperial edict!" Boss Li shook his robe and left the scene. He directly called Eunuch Xue Gao, who was waiting for the imperial edict, and Boss Li's actions shocked the ministers. I wonder what Boss Li meant? When the eunuch Xue Gao read the imperial edict aloud, the ministers were stunned.

"It's unreasonable! It's unreasonable! It hurts morality, it's undesirable, it's..." After Xue Gao read out the imperial edict issued by Boss Li, Confucius was the first to accuse him. The Tang Dynasty Women's Law? What is this and what? It actually goes against traditional morality and legislates the regulations on equality between men and women?
