Wu Changsheng naturally knows about rail transit and knows that ye Zan wants to get merit. However, he doesn''t know much about the influence of rail transit. He just thinks it''s a new mode of transportation. Therefore, several countries around Datang sent envoys to this matter, which made him feel a little incomprehensible.
However, it is not surprising that Wu Changsheng has little knowledge.
After all, Wu Changsheng, as a monk, although he has been in charge of yuqingzong for many years and his position is not inferior to the leaders of various countries, he has always paid attention to staying away from the secular world. The so-called art industry is specialized, and every line is like a mountain. Therefore, he can''t have much insight into secular society, especially things affecting people''s livelihood.
Ye Zan''s understanding of the influence of rail transit is far from comparable to Wu Changsheng. Not to mention that social adaptability experiments have been carried out in the small world, just look at the development history of the world of science and technology, we can know how great changes this rail transit will bring to human society. Therefore, he was not surprised to hear the news that several neighboring countries had sent envoys.
Nowadays, although only a few trunk lines have been built in the rail transit of Datang state, the role of rail transit has been very obvious. As long as you are not dazzled, you can see the impact of rail transit on a country from these trunk lines.
For rulers, perhaps the most concerned problem is how to make their rule more stable.
Originally, the rulers of all countries need to face such a problem, that is, how to treat the generals guarding the border. You know, although there has been no large-scale war in the Shenhua region for many years, all countries still have to garrison heavy troops at the border. In other words, among all the generals in various countries, the generals guarding the border are absolutely powerful generals, and they must have military power in their hands.
If this person has too much power in his hands, it will inevitably produce some other ideas. Even if he doesn''t have ideas, his people, or others, will "have" ideas in various ways.
In the long history of Shenhua territory, the incidents of the generals of border towns setting up troops and rebelling are really emerging one after another. The reasons for starting the army are the corruption of the royal family, the provocation of the enemy country, the so-called "yellow robe" and so on. Whether the final rebellion succeeds or fails, it is a great loss to a country''s national strength and a great disaster to the people.
Therefore, for those border town generals, no matter how loyal they are, the leaders of all countries will be very vigilant.
The emergence of "thousand mile transmission" has solved the problem of timely transmission of information for the rulers of all countries. Before the news spread thousands of miles, especially when it was far from the capital of the country, the generals of those border towns started a rebellion. When the leader of the country got the news of the rebellion, the other party often had a certain scale. Then, the Lord of the country mobilized the army to prepare food and grass. It would take a few days no matter how fast, which gave the rebels the opportunity to further expand their scale.
And if there is any rebellion after a thousand miles of transmission, the Lord of the country will soon get the news and immediately start to prepare for the rebellion. However, this only saves the time of message transmission. When everything is ready here, it still takes a lot of time for the army to go to the front line to suppress the rebellion.
Now, the emergence of rail transit has undoubtedly filled the gap in this regard. The timely delivery of information, coupled with the significant improvement of transportation efficiency, is undoubtedly a perfect match for the rulers of various countries to stabilize their rule.
If there is rail transit and there is any border town rebellion, the Lord of the country can not only get the news in time, but also quickly put the general team on the front line, so that the rebels can be suppressed before they have time to form a scale.
This alone, this rail transit, is enough to have a great attraction to the leaders of all countries. For those country leaders, I''m afraid nothing in the world is more important than letting them sit in that seat.
Moreover, the role of rail transit is not only this, not to mention the extreme situation of rebellion and disaster. Just the daily transportation and circulation of goods plays a great role in the development of a country. Although only a few trunk lines have been built in the state of Datang, anyone with a little foresight in all countries can see that the national strength of the state of Datang is gradually accelerating like taking a rail train. It may not be long before the growth of the national strength of the Datang state will leave several neighboring countries far behind.
If the construction of rail transit was simply led by the Tang Dynasty, I''m afraid all countries would have tried their best to destroy it at this time. After all, a strong neighbor, and one that is still growing stronger, is something that the countries around Datang absolutely don''t want to see.
However, what makes all countries helpless is that the leader of rail transit construction is not the Datang state in the same position as them, but yuqingzong, who is in the ascendant in the monastic world. You know, in the construction of rail transit, yuqingzong sent ten Yuanying ancestors, which is enough to see how much yuqingzong attaches importance to this matter. Although they can''t understand why yuqingzong suddenly intervened in secular things and made such a cost, they also know that as long as they dare to move the rail transit, they are equal to opposing yuqingzong.
Although the royal families of various countries are protected by dragon Qi, it does not mean that if they really tear their faces, yuqingzong has no way to take them.
Originally, all countries also hoped that other sects could restrict Yuqing sect in this matter. But last time, the people of the five schools led by Ziyang Zhenjun came to yuqingzong for a turn, but they didn''t let yuqingzong make any change. Although countries do not know how yuqingzong and Wuzong talked about it, they can guess with their fingers that Wuzong failed to affect yuqingzong.
Therefore, out of the fear of yuqingzong, all countries changed their ideas. Since they could not stop the construction of rail transit in Datang country, they might as well participate in it. You have rail transit, and I also have rail transit, so we don''t stand on the same starting line again? What''s more, as mentioned earlier, although the investment of rail transit is not small, it is beneficial to rule after completion, and its role in improving national strength has also been verified in the Datang state.
For ye Zan, the expansion of rail transit to a wider range means that he will get more merit. Therefore, when Wu Changsheng said that the envoys of various countries had not left, and he was too lazy to play with the means of fishing people''s appetite, he asked Wu Changsheng to send people to invite the envoys of various countries to the discussion Hall of Yuquan peak.
As for the construction of rail transit, it can be said that you love me. Therefore, ye Zan and envoys of various countries did not have much fierce negotiations. Moreover, the conditions proposed by Ye Zan are not as harsh as countries think. For example, the ownership of the transport sector is of great concern to the leaders of all countries. All countries believe that it will be a very difficult negotiation on this issue. But no one expected that ye Zan didn''t intend to hold it in his hand at all. They didn''t have to pretend to be poor and talk about difficulties at all. As soon as he came up, he clearly threw it to all countries.
Yezan''s only requirement is the resettlement of those originally engaged in the transportation industry, which is actually beneficial to countries themselves. In any era, the unemployed are a factor of social instability. For example, a famous unemployed courier overthrew a dynasty because of unemployment. Although not all the unemployed will become the famous unemployed courier and do such earth shaking things, the impact on social stability can not be ignored.
In fact, people are easy to satisfy. If they can fill their stomachs and have a way to live, no one will risk beheading to rebel. Therefore, this requirement of yezzan is not a requirement for countries at all. This is what they should do.
Of course, ye Zan doesn''t really want to make selfless contributions. The accounts should be calculated with all countries. For example, in terms of construction materials, countries need to provide them. Ye Zan can''t dig up the resources of Xiangong small world in order to build rail transit for them. Envoys from various countries have no objection to this. If yuqingzong doesn''t finish work with the them, money will be good. You can''t expect yuqingzong to paste construction materials upside down.
The talks between the two sides did not take much time and reached an agreement on the construction of rail transit.
After the talks, envoys from various countries still felt as if they were dreaming until they left yuqingzong. They came with meat cutting preparations. Originally, they didn''t expect to be treated the same as the Datang state, but they didn''t expect that they didn''t even have to release blood. This was even done.
"It seems that we need to study some magic tools used in engineering."
After sending off envoys from various countries, ye Zan was also in a good mood. After all, this means that a lot of merits will be recorded. However, the problem followed, that is, the efficiency of construction can not keep up. Although the five second rate sects around ziyangzong and others previously promised that they would also send people to participate in the construction when the rail transit is extended to them, the monks are not professional after all, and the magic tools used are not professional, so there are restrictions on the improvement of construction efficiency.
For example, to dig a tunnel, the usual practice of monks is to directly sacrifice their flying swords and constantly cut and dig holes in the mountain. Even if the flying sword is a powerful weapon, even if the sword driver has deep mana, it is not easy to dig a tunnel. Moreover, such non-standard construction will often cause a waste of labor. It has not never happened that a tunnel is opened crooked.
Therefore, ye Zan has to consider applying the engineering machinery in the world of science and technology to this world after trying to implement it.
Fortunately, now ye Zan has stepped into the realm of Yuanying. Coupled with the Enlightenment under the giant tree, he has a deeper understanding of his three roads. Therefore, there are not many difficulties in legalizing construction machinery.
After returning to his residence, ye Zan saw that in the open space outside his yard, little Lori was riding on the back of a white bear. Her lower body was trapped in the soft fur and burst into laughter. Two wolf demons were closely following the white bear on both sides, stretching their arms nervously, as if they were afraid that little Lori would fall off the bear''s back. On the other side, the bully lay there quietly, and the mandrill demon and the snow ape demon waited on both sides, holding their legs and feet under the bully. The octopus demon showed six tentacles on his back, holding a large fruit plate in his hand, and constantly fed the fruit inside to Xiaoba.
It seems that these little demons have adapted to their identity! Ye Zan looked funny and walked over.
"Daddy!" when little Lori saw Ye Zan coming, she immediately shouted with joy, jumped up from the white bear''s back and rushed towards Ye Zan.
Ye Zan opened his arms, firmly took little Lori in his arms and said, "Linglong, are they all right with you?"
Hearing Ye Zan''s words, little Lori hasn''t opened her mouth yet. Those little demons can''t help but freeze, and they all look here nervously.
"Angang!" the bully shouted twice, as if he was dissatisfied with their stopping.
"Young master, forgive me. I''ll peel the fruit for you now." the octopus demon quickly said after returning to God.
The octopus demon is really suitable for this work. He grabs a spirit fruit from the fruit tray, and the sucker on his tentacle sucks on it, and the peel of the spirit fruit is immediately stripped. Then he dipped the peeled fruit in the honeydew in another fruit tray, and carefully fed it to Xiaoba.
"Dad, Linglong is so happy to have them with Linglong. Thank you, Dad." little Lori smiled and pouted on Ye Zan''s face.
"OK, Linglong, just be happy." yezan kissed little Laurie on the forehead and said.
Let little Lori play with several demon families. After standing and watching for a moment, ye Zan turned back to his yard and began to study the legalization of construction machinery. For the sake of little Lori, he also needs to accumulate more merits on the merit monument as soon as possible, so as to prevent jiaosheng from thinking about his daughter in the future.
For ye Zan now, there are not many difficulties in the legalization of construction machinery. Therefore, in only a few days, yezan made the first machine for tunnel excavation. This machine, driven purely by magic, is no different from using magic tools. Besides, while digging the tunnel, it will also be sprayed with special paint to strengthen the tunnel.
A few days later, ye Zan made a professional machine for tamping the foundation, which is more efficient than Cheng Liangqi''s smashing with Panlong gold seal.
After the experiment, ye Zan made several of the two machines and called Ye Xiao back through thousands of miles.
