Chapter 1070 The strange road

"besides?"

Ying Zheng blinked in surprise.

Looking at the mysterious appearance of the eldest son in front of him, he couldn't help but look puzzled.

A ship that can automatically sail freely on the sea without wind was enough to surprise him.

But after all, the current steam engine is just a big cake to be painted.

I can only see it, but I can't use it in practice.

Who can't keep up with the production capacity?

Ying Zheng looked at his eldest son's confident appearance and doubts arose in his heart.

According to his understanding of this bastard, Yan Guo's character exudes a domineering aura.

What he wants to do is do no matter what.

And this kid is so bold that there is nothing he dare not do.

Even if you agree on the outside, you will make trouble in secret.

He even dared to assassinate Jiuqing in broad daylight!

In the important place of Xianyang's capital, the children of the gentry were killed and blood flowed into a river!

These are beyond my expectations and are not allowed.

But this bastard really did it!

It's not uncommon!

Now I have been studying here for half a year. I have finally achieved results that I am so moved by, but I think the problem of insufficient staff will slow down the progress.

This kid is really willing?

Anyway, Ying Zheng definitely doesn't believe his understanding of this son.

Could it be...

Planning to go to the Mohist family secretly?

No, absolutely not!

How could the great Qin crown prince be condescending to a noble family and put them in a school?

With the increasing concentration of imperial power, Ying Zheng's majesty is getting heavier day by day.

To him, the imperial power was supreme, and even the heaven could look down on him, let alone a mere school.

You should take the initiative to vote, so how can you condescend and go to the invitation?

It is impossible to let him go alone in the Mohist school to discuss Taoism like his ancestors.

Even if you want to go, you are not going alone.

Instead, he led heavy troops to encircle and suppress!

Those who follow me will prosper and rebellion will perish!

Those who do not follow the Qin Dynasty will have only one dead end.

In other words, Qin Mo made great contributions to the rise of Qin and unification of the six kingdoms, so he did not make things difficult for them.

It is impossible to put down your body and go alone!

Ying Zheng looked at the eldest son next to him deeply, and thought to himself: Let’s see what this bastard is going to plan!

He spoke, "What else is there? Let me show you."

Qin Xuan immediately reached out and pointed: "Father, please come here."

After saying that, he led the emperor out of another door.

Walk through the long sealed corridor and come to a platform.

In this era, there is no platform.

Seeing that Ying Zheng came from the factory to the outdoors, he couldn't help but wonder in his eyes.

Didn't you see the finished stuff?

How did it come out?

He muttered curiously: "There are no rivers here?"

In the expectation, what the son showed himself must be a completed ship.

Want to get on the boat and experience it yourself.

Only in this way can he agree to take the edict to the Mohist family.

but

There are continuous mountains outside and no rivers at all, so how can you take a boat?

Although the kind of ship that does not require wind and manpower is magical, it still has to sail in the water.

You can't sail on the flat ground, right?

Ying Zheng's eyes were full of doubt.

Then, as he lowered his head, his expression was stunned.

On the lower ground ahead, there seems to be a strange road built by man.

The reason why it is strange is that the road seems to be spliced ​​together in strips of fine steel, and the face is beyond the reach of the eyes.

Moreover, between the two strips of fine steel, there are pieces of wooden boards, and stones are sprinkled around them.

Ying Zheng looked at it carefully for a moment and asked curiously: "Is this the road? Why is it so strange?"

Qin Xuan raised his eyebrows, raised his head and said proudly: "Of course it is a road, called railway!

Or my ministers ordered 200,000 prisoners to be built from Xianyang to Sanchuan County!"

Qin Xuan went through a field investigation to build this railway.

The current technology is OK to break rocks through mountains, but it will be difficult to take out a hole from the mountains.

Even in modern times, if you want to dig a long hole hundreds of meters from the belly of the mountain, you have to go through investigation before you can start construction.

When the road was being built, there were many water seepage accidents in the cave.

With the current technology of Daqin, it is impossible to deal with it.

However, the Qin Dynasty had already built the road.

Just build another railway from next to the road.

Although it will take a detour to extend the construction period and investment, it is also the only solution.

Fortunately, there were enough prisoners captured this time.

The construction of 200,000 people day and night took half a year to complete.

Although this railway has been completed, it is not long, just leading to Sanchuan County next to it.

When Qin Xuan was planning, he gave clear instructions on the first railway of Daqin.

Starting from Xianyang City, it will be built to Jiaodong County.

Of course, strategically speaking, it should be the most suitable way to Lingnan.

After all, connecting Xianyang and Lingnan is more helpful to the rule of the court.

To put it bluntly, even if the Lingnan rebellion is in the future, it can transport the army to quell the rebellion as quickly as possible through railways!

but

From Xianyang to Lingnan, there are thousands of mountains and rivers in the middle.

The scale is so large that it cannot be completed in just three or two years.

There were many slaves in the Qin State, and there were also many laborers who built roads.

If hundreds of thousands of people work together, the efficiency is terrifying.

But building a bridge through the river is a huge challenge.

It will delay a lot of time.

There can’t be 200,000 to 300,000 people waiting for the bridge to be built,

However, it is much more difficult to build from Xianyang to Jiaodong County.

There are no big rivers along the way, and you can choose to detour some mountains.

As long as there are enough people involved in the construction, they can be repaired within a few years.

At that time, the seafood in Jiaodong County will be sold continuously to the counties along the way at a faster speed.
To be continued...
