Vol 2 Chapter 611: Blaze new trails

"Husband?" The night is quiet, although he is already an old wife and wife, and the night frequency is not as good as that of the year, but occasionally when the battle is rising, the battle is also dark, and their constitutions are different from ordinary people. After losing the strong years, after the storm, there was an unspeakable calmness. Lying in the arms of Fu Jun, Lu Lingqi suddenly called softly.
"Huh?" Liu Yi put her hands behind her head and looked down at his wife. In the darkness, she could vaguely see the lady's white face. Even those bright eyes are still brilliant today.
"The concubine suddenly thought that if our family can always settle in this western region, it doesn't matter how good the Central Plains have disturbed?" Lu Lingqi's smile, as she saw at the beginning of the year, under the protection of Liu Yi, She did not bear much pressure, and therefore, her smile remained pure.
It's just that Liu Yi's shelter is good, but after all, in this circle, Lv Lingqi doesn't understand anything. Her husband is a big man, but he doesn't really sit back and relax. The daughter's words, Lv Lingqi still remembers, but later the father and daughter Both seem to have forgotten about this matter, did not mention it again, and Lv Lingqi did not ask again, but in her opinion, although the Central Plains is better, it is far more comfortable than this Western Region.
"I still have to go back, but I have to stay here for a few more years. You have also seen the steam engine. There are already experimental products, but the water consumption is too large. It is not easy to use in this western region, and there are still some There are few problems, and many areas can be improved. "Liu Yi hugged his wife and smiled.
The steam engine was something that Liu Yi began to study in Yunnan. During many experiments, the steam engine can be put into use today, but the consumption of water and coal exceeds Liu Yi's expectations, and the body is huge. It is used in mining and machine tools. It's okay, but sometimes the loss may be more than the gain.
In fact, Liu Yi also has a more delicate and practical design, but the requirements for the accuracy of the materials are high. The lack of tightness of the high-pressure boiler is also the root cause of excessive losses. Liu Yi has been looking for something that can replace rubber. Tried a lot, but the effect was not satisfactory.
In addition, if the accuracy can be further improved, the loss can also be reduced. However, after the first machine tool came out, the accuracy can be gradually improved. This problem has now been solved, but the closed material Liu Yi can only try to use some cork. Instead.
"I don't understand these things, but if the Junjun's auto-operated equipment is put into production, how powerful is it?" Lu Lingqi curious.
"If you use a rail car and replace the wooden rails with rails, from here to Chang'an, as long as the dye is enough, you can reach Chang'an in less than two days, but this road is not as easy to repair as the wooden rails." Liu Yi smiled bitterly. The railroad tracks must have sleepers. A railroad to prevent people from stealing the railroad tracks, guard posts along the way, etc., and even a railroad protection law must be established to prohibit theft.
At present, the rail car is already big enough to run, and now it is limited to the problem of mining technology. The iron ore has not been rich enough to let him lay the railway, so this is just to think about it, I want to put it into practice, I am afraid I have to wait until the world After the reunification, Liu Yi just wanted to improve the steam engine. The operation cost of the current steam engine is too high, which is not worth the gains.
"Less than two days?" Lu Lingqi looked at Liu Yi with some surprise.
Before seeing Guan Yu and Zhang Fei for the last time, Liu Yi set off from Juyan and drove the rail car around the clock. It took five days before and after, and it was extremely fast. From Yiwu to Changan, it was more than Juyan It took hundreds of miles to reach it in just two days, which made Lu Lingqi feel incredible.
Liu Yi did not explain too much. Two days is a pre-estimation. In the case of no problems and no pauses in the middle, theoretically it can be done, but in fact, we have to add water on the way, and we must start again and accelerate again. If it really works, it may take three to four days, but for this era, it is already very fast.
"One day, I will resign from my official position and accompany my wife to see Dawan, Kangju, and the further rest, Daxia. You and I will travel the world together." Liu Yi smiled.
Really that day, when the industrial age is coming, no one can organize it. At that time, Liu Yi also wants to take his wife to see how big the world is.
Lu Lingqi leaned on Liu Yihuai with some longing, and murmured: "If so, what if you and I can't come back?"
"Then find a place where others can't find it. The mountains and rivers are green, and the mountains and rivers are beautiful. You and my husband will live in seclusion, raise a dog, raise some rare birds and animals, and live the life of the idle cloud and wild crane." Tao, he began to seek survival in his life, and later met Liu Bei, joined the world of struggle, the pursuit began to change, from the beginning to end the chaos as soon as possible, and later want to seal his wife Yinzi, now grow up with children Liu Yi has gradually looked down on power and wealth.
Some things, when not available, will do everything to pursue, but when you have it, you can belittle it, it is a kind of sublimation above the realm, and now Liu Yi ’s greatest hope is to be able to leave some for the big man, for China What, I hope that my nation can have less suffering and catastrophe in the future, and hope that China can truly stand like a dragon and stand on top of the world forever.
These things seem to be very imaginary, but life is like this. When you have gained glory and wealth and enjoyed the rights, if you can get out of it, what you see and think about will no longer be close to these things, and It is to pursue higher levels of things, of course, it is also possible to go to evil.
If your ideals are achieved, then this kind of life is exactly what Liu Yi longs for.
"But we have to come back, our roots are here." Lu Lingqi leaned on Liu Yihuai, thinking of the picture Liu Yi painted, and smiled innocently: "It will take you and me to be gray-haired."
"Isn't that good? Hold your hand and grow old together." In the dark, Liu Yi held Lu Lingqi's catkin and smiled.
"Ok."
...
After the New Year, in the six years of Xingyuan, Liu and his wife and Liu Cheng had been accompanying Liu and his wife in Yiwu City until the end of the first month.
After enjoying a month of family happiness, Liu Yi returned to work.
After more than a month of economic blockade, the effect has come out. With the great Han and the countries of the Western Regions, Guo Jia, who maintains business with the big Han, has cut off trade with those few small countries. The original wealth has become worthless. Domestic The nobles of the country first became dissatisfied, and even within a month of civil strife.
At the beginning of February, Yan Qi claimed his honor to the big Han and was willing to take possession. The royal family was sent to Wuwei by Liu Yi. How to arrange for the court to take charge? Now that the beginning has begun, the treatment of King Ju Yan will not appear on the royal family of other small countries unless it is like Wu A big country like Sun and Dawan would otherwise be treated like before.
At the same time, the second round of track laying began with the active response of various countries. With the opening of the track, many glass products fired by Tiangongfang began to be sold to the countries of the Western Region in large quantities, in order to predatoryly seize the wealth of the countries and Resources.
A large amount of luxury goods is ultimately consumed by the people of all countries. The people who are unable to bear the taxes begin to run away and go to the cities controlled by the Hans to invest in the army or make a living.
Many countries began to be unable to support, some began to work hard to rule, refused glazed products, and some simply ceded the country to the ruler to let them fill these vacancies.
Most of the countries in the Western Regions are small countries with a population of thousands or hundreds of households, and their ability to resist risks is weak. Liu Yi ’s speed of gathering the countries in the Western Regions also began to accelerate. By the beginning of the seventh year of Xingyuan (AD 235), with Yutian The official investment of Han Dynasty has spread to the Yutian River. In this year, the amount of new coins Liu Yi has invested in the Western Region has reached 3 billion, of which only 500 million is invested by the court, and the rest are all Liu Yi cast it here.
At the same time, various resources from the Western Regions flowed into the Han Dynasty, enriching the background and population of the Han Dynasty. In the new round of census ~ EbookFREE.me ~ the land of the Western Region, the population of the Han Dynasty reached 200,000!
For more than a year, Liu Yi used the power of various countries in the Western Regions to lay three tracks along the Tianshan Mountains, connecting countries, and two tracks that traverse Dunhuang to the Kuit Kingdom. In the next two years, , Liu Yi is ready to put more energy on the laying of the track.
So far, Liu Yi has built 11 cities in the Western Region.
In the nine years of Xingyuan, there were as many as 17 wooden tracks in the Western Region, and the territory of the Han Dynasty also extended from Yutian to Shule City. Except for Dawan and Wusun, all the countries in the Western Region basically belonged to the Han.
In the same year, Dawan and Wusun Alliance launched an offensive against Shule and Shicheng.
Dawan has a household registration of 80,000 and a population of 300,000. There are as many as 60,000 soldiers and horses. Wusun also has a population of nearly 100,000, and has enough 20,000 soldiers and horses.
The 80,000 army, even in the Central Plains, is a terrific piece of data. It is placed in the Western Regions. If such an army can sweep the Western Regions if conditions permit, it is not difficult.
Dawan and Wusun obviously also saw the convenience of the track. After Liu Yi completed the laying of the track in the Western Region, he wanted to take the opportunity to become the springboard for his own annexation of the Western Region.
The total number of Han troops stationed in the Western Regions is no more than 50,000, and it is impossible to block the pace of the joint forces of the two countries by guarding all parties.
It is a pity that this battle was not as smooth as they thought. The Wusun army was under the stone city, blocked by Wei Chang led by six thousand soldiers and horses. The siege failed to break the city for three days, but it was seriously damaged.
On the side of Dawan, Liu Yi has been arranging for many years. Both the intelligence and the terrain of Dawan are well known. In the month when Dawan sent troops, Liu Yi personally led Wei Rong and Huang Rong Er to lead 10,000 soldiers against Dawan Six. Ten thousand troops, sixty thousand troops were easily broken, and Liu Yi took advantage of the situation to force his troops into the west, attacking Guishan City all the way, and completely included Dawan into the territory of Han Dynasty!
