Chapter two hundred and fortieth

That night, at the "Red Bull" teahouse, a disciple of Zhu Xi, Chen Chun, asked Lu Yijian to have tea together.

As he chatted, Lu Yi understood the purpose of Chen Chun coming to him for tea.

Chen Chun is in his early thirties, but he is a new disciple that Zhu Xi only accepted not long ago. Although Chen Chun respects the teacher very much shortly after he started. Today, Chen Chun comes to share his worries for his mentor.

Zhu Xi's condition was quite good, but he had a lot of troubles at this time. Chen Chun felt that he should share the worries of the teacher, so he made an appointment with Lu Yijian. This Lu Yijian is known as the best person among the returnees of Ha, Tang and Hai. It is said that through Lu Yijian, someone learned about the secret of the country of Ha, Tang and Tang. Well, it was the news that was secret, and Chen Chun thought that perhaps Lu Yijian could find some ideas.

By the way, Zhu Xi was a little anxious these days. In other words, Ha Tang Haihui has already opened a gap in the magical world of technology, such as magical PAD, planes that can fly into the sky, armored chariots that rush around, and various unheard scientific and technological theories. However, the power of the knowledge explosion is also amazing. In addition to bringing excitement, it also causes some adverse effects. For example, even if Zhu Xi is extremely intelligent and older, the result of excessive use of his brain is obviously much haggard, showing symptoms of indigestion.

That's not all. Although this genocide is an institution where Chief Mao, the Special Administrative Region allocates money to investigate, the amount of money is obviously not enough. Chen Chun could see that to build the iron-armored chariot, it involves a wide range of technologies and requires collaboration between various technologies. If it is done step by step, it may take ten or eight years. But when asked by Zhao Yuchun, Zhao Yuchun said one thing: It's okay to be fast, you have to spend money in it.

Chen Chun thought about it and just chatted with Lu Yijian for a few more words. Anyway, he looked very friendly and probably wouldn't refuse him. As expected, after the appointment, the young man named Lu, Tang Haihui came out.

"Brother Qi'an, I have something unknown. Why do you, Tang Hai's returnee, insist on going to the Isthmus of Kra, and you have to build that very expensive track road. In the following, the Isthmus of Kra isthmus is extremely remote and a barbarian land. Even if you build a passageway, land is not as convenient and fast as water transportation. I am worried about it and spending huge amounts of money and time and effort to build a good road. As a result, few people are interested in it. Isn't it a waste! I am worried about it for nothing, but I don't know if it should be said or not?"

"Brother An Qing, let's talk casually today. Haha, do you think I am a petty person? What are the concerns about me? Let's talk, please tell me, Mr. Lu listen carefully."

"Brother Qi'an, I have a suggestion. Haha, let me tell you about my little knowledge about the Kra Isthmus. Since the trade between the East and the West, before the Tang Dynasty, the Silk Road directly leads to the Western Regions. In the Song Dynasty, maritime trade rose. The trade between the East and the West has been on sea routes for the past two hundred years. The benefits of sea routes are self-evident. The number of ships is more than a thousand cars and horses. Walking on the sea is not comparable to the wind on the sea. There are occasional storms, but most of them are safe. I think that the Kra Isthmus really needs to build a road similar to the official road of the Song Dynasty. There is no need to spend money to repair the unreliable track road. If the road is built, there will be a lot of traffic. It is not too late to build any track roads at that time. Brother Qi'an agrees."

Lu Yi thought to himself, this was clearly a matter of competing for resources from Mao Geng for his mentor Zhu Xi. Mao Geng allocated less money to Ma Fen and the guys. The money would naturally be more to be allocated to the Gewu Academy. There were too many projects. Zhu Xi, the director of Gewu, was probably the worst-selling technology leader in history. Well, if you have something to do, you will be convinced by your disciples. Chen Chun is really good.

In fact, Lu Yi really doesn’t have any sense of identity with those five guys who want to build concrete rail transit in an innovative way. It’s obvious! Either build a road or build a railway, this is something that has been proven in later generations.

However, Chief Executive Mao and Lao Qiu were actually tolerant of those guys' misunderstandings. The plan was to allocate some funds to support the construction of the rails. Xiao Lu originally wanted to agree with Chen Chun, but then he thought that the last time he leaked the secret of PAD, he offended Chief Executive Mao. He should not be too arrogant. As the boss who crossed the line, Mao Geng still had to respect him on the surface. After all, he could not do his own thing independently of crossing the line. Well, in order to repair the relationship, let's keep in line with the organization this time.

"Brother An Qing, Leader Zhang just proposed a cement rail plan. To be honest, this is already a money-saving plan. If I go to plan, I have to go to the railway! Brother An Qing, I tell you that the railway is a good thing. If you run a steam locomotive on the railway, you can easily run two or three hundred miles in one hour. It is often hundreds of tons of cargo. It is even more common for a train to take one thousand people. Therefore, my younger brother's proposal is to build a railway, so that trade between the East and the West will be unobstructed. Of course, it is also a big deal to build a railway, and it is estimated that it will cost dozens of times the money."

Lu Yi saw that many amazing technologies from later generations had been leaked before, so he was not afraid to leak more. Anyway, he just wanted to ask Chen Chun to have nothing to say.

"So, the rails are divided into three levels: upper, middle and lower? Could it be that the Qin Dynasty really have wooden rails? The cement rails are the first level? The top level must be the rails. Brother Qi'an, is that right?"

There are many new concepts for Ha Tang and Returnees. Chen Chun has already experienced a lot. He questioned at the beginning, but gradually he questioned less and less. Well, for the Ha Tang phenomenon, you must understand what you can understand and what you cannot understand, just like listening to returnees talk about theories in class.

"That's right!" Xiao Lu was very confident.

When Lu Yi saw this, he adhered to his versatile attitude of not being offended and gave an idea:

"Brother An Qing, I think that even if the Isthmus of Kra isthmus can't satisfy the use of trial-made armored chariots. Thinking about the armored chariots, the power and transmission part alone are extremely complicated. With the tracks and suspension mechanisms, it's a headache to think of it! I think there is no trick, just spending money and concentrating manpower and material resources for three years! If you spend one million guan, you will probably create the armored chariots."

Chen Chun took a breath of air conditioning and could only sigh:

"One million taels of silver, I can only rely on the court."

"Originally, to deal with the cavalry of the Jin soldiers, the Song Dynasty had to raise cavalry. The annual expense of 10,000 cavalry is probably less than three million chunks. It would be better to use it to build an iron armored chariot!"

When Lu Yi saw Chen Chun was very depressed, he smiled and said:

"Brother An Qing doesn't have to worry. The court will definitely allocate a lot of money. Who is the dean of Gewu? Everyone knows the name of your mentor. I guess if your mentor handes it over, the court's money will be transferred here. I will not be wrong with this, brother, don't worry!"

Xiao Lu flattered casually. Speaking of this flattery, Chen Chun felt more enjoyable than slapping on him.

The next day, Xiao Lu ran to Mao Geng to report the matter with great pleasure. This was to show his goodwill to Mao Geng.

Mao Geng didn't feel shameless about Lu Yi's appearance. There were so many such people in the 21st century. Mao Geng said that it would be good not to deliberately make bad things. Mao Geng's hostility towards Xiao Lu suddenly faded, at least Xiao Lu's attitude of changing his course and reporting it in time was good.

Speaking of these two days, Mao Geng has lived a very comfortable life. For example, last night, he and Yan Rui have three times a year of spring breeze. After waking up, Yan Rui acted coquettishly and revealed that Mao Geng was laughing in his dreams. Yan Rui thought that it was the result of the joy of his children, but Mao Geng knew that if he was really laughing in his dreams, it was entirely because he brought Zhu Xi to work for him.

The time travelers are not just laughing in their dreams, but they can’t help but joke about this:

"I originally thought that working for the Emperor of the Song Dynasty, Bai's knowledge and contributions to Bai's efforts, all of them caught up with Bethune. However, now even Zhu Xi is joining the ranks of work and bringing a group of disciples. Thinking about this, our psychology is a little bit more balanced."

"Hehe, I don't know if the disciples of the rich will complain. For example, this is the case that those who build iron armored chariots are not as good as those who pull chariots, those who make meteor bombs are not as good as those who sell tea eggs, and so on."

This caused a burst of laughter.

Mao Geng was quite satisfied with the diligent performance of Zhu Xi's disciple. Speaking of which, the majority of liberal arts students who focused on Confucianism in this era, the talents were wasted in the classics and history. Moreover, his ambition was still unchanged. He wasted time in Confucianism and could not even bring back nine cows. Among them, as long as 20% of the people turned to study science and engineering, there would be a large number of scientific and technological talents to choose from within ten years of the Song Dynasty. So why worry about industrialization?

Mao Geng recovered from his thoughts and said with a smile:

"Xiao Lu, the Duke of the Kingdom has a good impression of you. If the Duke of the Kingdom recommends you to Lin'an, how about considering the past Lin'an?"

It seems that the court wanted to test among the time travelers to see if they could find the gap. It seems that Lu Yijian was selected. Mao Geng had no defense against Lu Yijian, but after all, Xiao Lu was still a little bottom line. Even though he was worried, Mao Geng didn't think Xiao Lu would choose to be an enemy with most people who crossed the line.

"Go to Lin'an?"

"Actually, if you take out the PAD, you should think of this. Xiao Lu, haven't you ever thought about demonstrating the PAD in front of the Emperor of the Song Dynasty?"

After hearing Mao Geng's words, Xiao Lu blushed a little, but Xiao Lu was not thin-skinned, so he laughed:

"This may be a good idea. It is estimated that writing an application for a report can be used to submit a report, but it is limited in the end. However, if PAD is made available in the Palace of the Song Dynasty, there is probably no need to submit a report. The great Emperor will probably allocate several million scientific research fees obediently and let Dean Zhu do it quickly. Oh! It is still Chief Mao who is good at using fishing methods. If this big bait is taken, it is probably the gods who will also want to go fishing! The Chief Emperor is wise and can't accept it!"

Xiao Lu's flattery came casually, which was very pleasant.

On the one hand, Xiao Lu was very excited about going to Lin'an. If he was at the highest level of the Song Dynasty, he might have made a big name. But on the other hand, Wu Feiyuan has not been thinking of leaving the Special Administrative Region so far, which is the only thing that makes people feel sorry for. However, Lin'an is a world of flowers, lying drunk in the flowers, and the fun may be even more exciting. Xiao Lu thought so.
