"General, Beiyang is approved, but I reply and ask us to wait a little longer and report to the Forbidden City."

Hu Liangpeng and Ye Xianggao were waiting on the dock of the Coal Station of Ship and Coal Station. When they heard the report from the flag army, they looked at each other and nodded slightly.

Shi Yinchang and his students had already returned, and Hu Liangpeng did not tell the students about steamboats in the end, so Hu Liangpeng felt that it was meaningless to continue like this. It was better to see him at first sight than to hear a hundred times. Looking at the old professor's desire for knowledge and a little timid spirit, he felt that he had to take the children on the boat to see.

Steam ships are not other warships. Even the Roches are essentially no secrets on the ship. Ships in all parts of the world are similar to them. Only steam ships embodies the most cutting-edge technology of the empire. Not only is it much more powerful than the civilian fire destiny, but the structure is also advanced for several generations.

Of course, the difference between this generation is not that big. It is nothing more than the difference between a clamp and a flintlock rifle. It is more manpower-saving, more efficient and more secure.

The most important thing is that the emperor issued an edict, and all military and civilians who came into contact with the steamship must keep it confidential.

Just as Wanli said to Xu Guangqi, the steamship belongs to him, and the coal-ship office belongs to him.

This thing is the emperor's trade secret.

The telegram was transmitted from Huai'an Prefecture to Tianjin very quickly, and the only difficulty in wasting time was still the Yellow River.

The only bridge on the Yellow River is in Lanzhou, northwest. There is a seasonal floating bridge called Zhenyuan. It is built every spring and demolished before it freezes in winter. In history, there are several bridges on the Yellow River, which can be traced back to the first year of Zhaogong. Qin Gongzi Xian fled to Jin, and his carriages were thousands of boats and boats were built on the river. What he built was the earliest floating bridge in history - Pujin Bridge.

Then, until the fifty year of King Zhaoxiang of Qin, the floating bridge was repaired. During the reign of Emperor Xuanzong of Tang, wooden stakes were changed to iron cows and cables were changed to iron chains. The national efforts were made to renovate the Pujin Bridge on a large scale, which lasted for more than a thousand years until it was burned to death by war at the end of the Yuan Dynasty.

There is also Dayang Bridge on the Yellow River. There was Dayang Pass in Sanmenxia City in ancient times. The floating bridge was built in the eleventh year of Zhenguan. It was destroyed by the Yellow River water in the early Northern Song Dynasty.

There is a Mengjin Bridge in Mengjin Ferry. It was built by Du Yu, the general of the Western Jin Dynasty, on the 10th year of Taishi in Emperor Wu of Jin. The Yellow River was diverted from the Song and Yuan dynasties, and Mengjin swung north and south, and the floating bridge no longer existed.

Now only Zhu Yuanzhang appointed Duke Wei Deng Yu to build it, and Zhenyuan Bridge named by Duke Song Feng Sheng still exists.

Except for that, you have to ferry all other places to cross the river.

People are already used to ferrying, and no one thinks there is anything wrong with this.

Except for Wanli.

If he crosses the Yellow River, he will have to wait a long time longer. How can this work?

Hu Liangpeng's telegram was sent to Wanli, the Forbidden City, and not only did he make this clear, but he also asked him to escort the supplies and go back after the supplies, Wanli New Primary Schools all over the way said that these children were the future of the empire.

But at present, Wanli plans to build a bridge on the Yellow River as he learns from his ancestors.

This matter fell to the Ministry of Justice.

Why the Ministry of Justice?

Because of the matters related to rivers, the Wanli Dynasty first recommended Pan Jixun. He has had more than ten years of deep experience in governing the Yellow River, Huai River and Canal three times from the 44th year of Jiajing to the present. He is the leading river management expert in the court.

If you want to build a river and bridge, you must also use him.

However, Pan Jixun does not recommend the construction of bridges. The Yellow River water is turbid, so the construction of bridges must be in Henan and Shandong. These places have great impact and many river sand. Building bridges is not only easy to be destroyed, but also silt sand at the bottom of the river, causing greater floods.

He suggested that if the emperor wanted to send a telegram, he would lay down a hundred iron pillars in the river and use them to support the wires to hang them on the river surface. This is the most time-saving and labor-saving method.

And with this, it will be easier to build a pontoon bridge in the future.

But the emperor was not very satisfied with this. He didn't even want to build a pontoon bridge, he just wanted to build a Yonggu Bridge.

If it is not forever, how can you run to the Qinglong Army?

But if you want to build the Yonggu Bridge, you have to dig out the sand from the middle and upper reaches.

The project volume is different.

No matter what the emperor was thinking, Hu Liangpeng’s most worried thing was solved. When he received the reply, he contacted Professor Shi Yinchang from Huai'an Prefecture as soon as possible and asked him to gather all the kids who were interested in the new ship to the Huai'an Ship Coal Station. It took him two days to get on the ship in batches and lower the deck to popularize the knowledge of the new ship.

Whether Hu Liangpeng or Ye Xianggao, this lecture not only had a profound impact on the students of Huai'an Prefecture, but also had more knowledge of the emperor's new school... These little kids will be amazing in the future.

Children of a few years old know more than teenagers. They know literacy, numbers, run, and jump. The teacher just casually said that they lined up their own queues, and they obviously received military training.

Later, Hu Liangpeng really tried it. He stuffed the scabbard to the children and asked him to dance for himself.

What disappointed him was that the child did not know how to dance.

Shi Yinchang was a little embarrassed and lowered his head and said, "The textbook says that students should learn gun stabbing skills. I don't know much. I can only drag them for the time being. First, teach moral conduct. The team hired the instructor of the military camp in the mansion. In the future, when the retired veterans in Beiyang are assigned by the court, they will learn the martial arts skills."

“The situation is similar everywhere.”

Hu Liangpeng also waved his hand and said, "No hurry. Old gentleman, teach the children first and learn knowledge in the future. As long as this person has a righteous mind, there is no shortage of places to learn craftsmanship in the future. If there are 300,000 elementary school students in the future, why worry about the unrest of the heavenly dynasty?"

Basic education actually has no other purpose, it is to know literacy, numbers, and common sense, so that they can learn things faster than others no matter where they go, and they will not be bullied wherever they go.

Hu Liangpeng can assert that if these children grow up, they can be reorganized into an army in three to five months if they go to Beiyang for training. If they encounter bandits in the local area, hundreds of bandits and robbers will be given armor to the school as long as the magistrate sends armor to the school, and these students will go out to guard the city and purify the bandits.

They see more, see more, understand more, and the court will not lack space for them to show their skills in the future.

"You also said that the teacher suspected that he could not teach the students well? He should go and have fun."

On the way to set off, the steamboat chimney sprayed white clouds. Hu Liangpeng said to Ye Xianggao: "Who knows what kind of achievements the students he taught will do in the future? What are you looking at?"

Ye Xianggao handed out the book in his hand and said with a smile: "The "Epidemic Document" published by Wanli Bookstore will take this exam this year, but it will not affect the ranking. If you can answer it, it will leave a good impression, and it doesn't matter if you can't answer it."
