Chapter 497: States' requests

Regarding the matter of rail transit, Wu Changsheng was naturally clear, and he also knew that Ye Zan wanted to gain merit through this. It's just that he doesn't know much about the influence of rail transit. He just thinks this is a new type of transportation. Therefore, several countries around Datang actually sent messengers to this matter, which made him feel a bit uncomfortable.
However, this is not to blame Wu Changsheng's lack of knowledge.
After all, Wu Changsheng is a monk. Although he has been in charge of Yu Qingzong for many years and has a status no less favourable than that of the country ’s owners, he has always been particular about staying away from the ordinary world. The so-called technique industry has a specialization, and interlacing is like a mountain. Therefore, it is impossible for him to have a high level of knowledge about secular society, especially things that affect people's livelihood.
And Ye Zhan, the understanding of the influence of rail transit is far from Wu Changsheng's comparable. Not to mention that social adaptation experiments have been conducted in the small world, just by looking at the development history of the world of science and technology, we can know how great changes this rail transportation will bring to human society. Therefore, he could say that he had anticipated sending envoys from several neighboring countries, and he was not surprised to hear the news.
Nowadays, although only a few trunk lines have been built in the rail transportation of Datang State, the role of rail transportation is also very obvious. As long as no one is faint, you can see the impact of this rail transportation on a country from these main lines.
Perhaps the most important issue for rulers is how to make their rule more stable.
The rulers of the original countries need to face such a problem, that is, how to treat the generals who guard the border. We must know that although the countries in the Shenhua domain have not had large-scale wars for many years, they still have to use heavy troops in Bianguantun. That is to say, among all the generals in various countries, the generals who guard the border are absolute power generals, and they must have military power in their hands.
If this person has too much power in his hands, he will inevitably have some other ideas. Even if he doesn't have an idea himself, the people under him, or someone else, will use various methods to "have" an idea.
In the long history of Shenhua Realm, it is true that the generals of the border towns led the army to rebel. The reasons for starting the army are because the royal family is rotten, because the enemy is provoking, and because of the so-called "yellow robes". Regardless of the success or failure of the final rebellion, it will be a great loss to a country's national strength, and it will also be a huge disaster for the people.
Therefore, the leaders of all countries will be very alert to the generals in the border towns, no matter how loyal they are.
The appearance of a thousand miles of transmission has solved the problem of timely transmission of messages for rulers of various countries. Before there were thousands of miles of transmission, especially when the country was far away from the country, those border town generals took up the rebellion. When the landlord received the news of the rebellion, the other party often had a certain scale. Then, the landlord mobilized the army to prepare forage. It would take a few days sooner, giving the rebels an opportunity to further expand their scale.
And after a thousand miles of transmission, if there is any rebellion, the landlord will soon get the news and immediately begin preparations for counterinsurgency. However, this only saves time for message transmission. When everything is ready here, the army will go to the front line to suppress the rebellion, which will still take a lot of time.
Now, the emergence of rail transit has undoubtedly filled this gap. The timely delivery of the news, coupled with the dramatic increase in transportation efficiency, is undoubtedly a perfect match for the rulers of various countries.
If there is rail transit, and if you encounter any rebellion in the border town, the landlord will not only get the news in time, but also quickly deploy the army to the front line, so that the rebels will be suppressed before it has the scale to form.
For this reason alone, this rail transportation is enough to generate great attraction for the owners of countries. For those founders, I am afraid that nothing in the world can be more important than letting them sit in that seat.
What's more, the role of rail transit is not only that, not to mention the extreme situation of the insurgency disaster, it is just a daily cargo transportation and circulation, and it has a great effect on the development of a country. Although the Datang State has only built a few main lines today, everyone in every country can see the power of the Datang State, just like riding on a rail train, and is gradually accelerating. Maybe it won't be long before the national power of the Tang Dynasty grows, and the surrounding countries will be left far behind.
If the construction of this rail transit is solely led by the Tang Dynasty, then at this time, various countries may have tried their best to destroy it. After all, a strong neighbor, but also an increasingly strong neighbor, is definitely unwilling to see those countries around Datang.
However, what frustrates all countries is that the leader of this rail transit construction is not the Tang Dynasty who stands in the same position as them, but the Yu Qingzong who is in full swing in the monastic world. You know, in the construction of rail transit, Yu Qingzong sent ten ancestors, which is enough to see how much Yu Qingzong attaches importance to this matter. Although they could not understand why the Yu Qingzong suddenly intervened in the worldly things, and still so costly, they also knew that as long as they dared to move the rail transit, they were equal to the Yu Qingzong.
Although the royal families of various countries are sheltered by dragon air, but it does not mean that they really tear their faces, and Yu Qingzong could not take them.
Originally, countries also pinned their hopes on other sects, hoping that other sects could restrict Yuqing Sect in this matter. But last time, the five ancestors led by Ziyang Zhenjun came to Yuqing Zong to make a circle, but did not let Yu Qingzong make any changes. Although countries do not know how the Yu Qingzong and the Five Sects talked, they can guess with their toes and fingers that the five cases did not affect the Yu Qingzong.
Therefore, out of fear of the Yu Qingzong, all countries changed their minds by accident. Since it is impossible to prevent the construction of rail transit in the Tang Dynasty, it is better to follow along. You have rail transit, and I have rail transit, so don't everyone stand on the same starting line again? What's more, as mentioned earlier, although the rail transit investment is not small, it can be beneficial to the rule after its completion, and it has also been proved to a certain extent by the Tang Dynasty.
For Ye Zan, being able to extend rail transit to a larger area means more merit. Therefore, after hearing Wu Changsheng said that the messengers of various countries had not left, and he was too lazy to play the appetite for fishing people, he asked Wu Changsheng to send people to invite the messengers of various countries to the side hall of Yuquan Peak.
Regarding the construction of rail transit, it can be said that you are willing to do so, so Ye Zan and the envoys of various countries did not have much outrageous negotiations. Moreover, the conditions proposed by Ye Zan are not as harsh as those in other countries. For example, the ownership of the transportation sector is the most important concern for the owners of various countries. All countries think that this issue will be a very difficult negotiation. But no one thought that Ye Zan had no intention of holding it in his hands at all. He didn't need to pretend to have pitiful talks at all, and it was clearly thrown to every country when he came up.
Ye Zan's only requirement is to place those people who were originally engaged in the transportation industry, which is actually beneficial to countries. In any era, the unemployed are factors of social instability. For example, a famous unemployed postman overthrew a dynasty because of unemployment. Although not all unemployed people will become the well-known unemployed postman to do such an earth-shattering event, but the impact on social stability cannot be ignored.
In fact, ordinary people are easy to satisfy, but whoever can fill his stomach and who can have a way of life, no one will risk the beheading to rebel. Therefore, Ye Zan's request is not a requirement for countries at all, and this is what they should do.
Of course, Ye Zan doesn't really need selfless dedication. The account should be calculated with other countries. For example, in terms of construction materials, this needs to be provided by various countries. In order to build rail transit for them, Ye Zan could not dig out the resources of the fairy world. The envoys of various countries did not have any objection to this. Yu Qingzong was not good without them and he could not count on Yu Qingzong to post construction materials.
The talks between the two parties did not take much time to reach an agreement on the construction of this rail transit.
After the talks, the messengers of various countries felt like they were dreaming until they left Yuqingzong. They came with preparations for cutting meat. They did not expect that they would be treated the same as Datang Guoneng, but did not expect that they would not have to let their blood go.
"It seems that we need to study some engineering tools."
After sending away the messengers from various countries, Ye Zan's mood is also quite good, after all, this means that a lot of merit will be recorded. However, the problem followed, that is, the efficiency of construction could not keep up. Although the five second-class gates around Ziyangzong and other areas have previously promised that when the rail transit is extended to them, each of them will also send people to participate in the construction. Therefore, the improvement of construction efficiency is also limited.
For example, to excavate a tunnel, the usual practice of monks is to directly sacrifice flying swords and cut and dig holes in the mountain. Even if the flying sword is a magic weapon, even if the sword master has deep mana, it is not easy to dig a tunnel. Moreover, such non-standard construction often results in waste of labor, and it is not uncommon for a tunnel to be opened and crooked.
Therefore, Ye Zan had to think about how to apply the engineering machinery of the technological world to this world.
Fortunately, Ye Zan has now entered the realm of Yuan Ying, coupled with the enlightenment under the giant tree, he has a deeper understanding of his three avenues. Therefore, he does not have too many difficulties in the matter of engineering machinery engineering.
After returning to his residence, Ye Zan saw on the open space outside his courtyard. Little Loli was riding on the back of a white bear, her lower body was caught in the soft fur, and she burst into laughter. The two wolf monsters were closely following the sides of the white bear, stretching their arms nervously, as if they were afraid that Little Loli would fall off the bear's back. On the other side, Xiaoba was lying there quietly, and the Mountain Demon and Snow Ape Demon waited on both sides. The octopus demon had six tentacles on his back, holding a large fruit plate in his hand, and constantly feeding the fruit inside to Xiaoba.
It seems that these little monsters have adapted to their identity! Ye Zan looked funny, and walked over.
"Daddy!" Little Loli yelled at Ye Zan when she came over, and jumped up from the back of the white bear, and rushed towards Ye Zan.
Ye Zan opened his arms and steadily embraced Little Loli in her arms, saying, "Linglong, how many of them are with you?"
Hearing Ye Zan's words, Little Loli hasn't spoken yet. The little monsters can't help but stiffen, all looking nervously to this side.
"Angang!" The bully yelled twice, seemingly dissatisfied with their stopping.
"Master forgive me, if you are young, you will peel the fruits." The octopus demon said quickly after returning to God.
This octopus demon is really suitable for this job. Grab a lingo fruit from the fruit plate and the suction cup on the tentacle, and the skin of the lingo fruit is immediately peeled and cleaned. Then, it smeared the peeled spirit fruit with honeydew in another fruit plate, and then carefully fed it to Xiaoba.
"Daddy, having Linglong play with them, Linglong is so happy! Thank you Dad." Little Loli said with a smile, and pouting on Ye Zan's face.
"Well, Linglong is happy." Ye Zan said on Xiao Loli's forehead.
Let Xiaolioli play with a few demons. After Ye Zan stood by for a moment, she turned back to her yard and began to study the mechanization of construction machinery. For Little Rory, he also needs to accumulate more merit on the merit stele as soon as possible, in order to prevent Chen Sheng from hitting his own daughter's idea in the future.
For Ye Zan now, the mechanization of construction machinery is not too difficult. Therefore, it took only a few days for Yezan to build the first machine for tunnel excavation. This machine, driven purely by mana, is no different from using a magic weapon. It also sprays special coatings to strengthen the tunnel while it is being excavated.
A few days later, Ye Zan produced a professional machine for tamping the foundation, which was more efficient than Cheng Liangqi's smashing with the panlong gold seal.
After the experiment, Ye Zan made several of these two kinds of machines, and called them back through thousands of miles.
