"Time is running out!"
"Is the rise of Chan School really unstoppable?”
"This King of Wu, Li Ke, is actually so talented and bold?”
Inside Peace Lane.
The essence of the various countries gathered, and there were also dignitaries, emissaries, and wealthy merchants.
There was only one thing they were discussing, and that was the railway.
They were the first to know about the appearance of the rail path.
However, at first, they didn't care much about the simple and crude thing that looked like a child's toy.
Until one after another, the modified carriages steadily moved forward under the pull of one or two inferior horses.
Perhaps, because of the wood ties and the material of the tracks, the carriage couldn't whip and gallop, but it won in stable output.
All parties began to realize the true value of this simple and crude rail path.
As the tracks were damaged, the coachman casually took a few pieces of wood from the carriage and reassembled them. The carriage continued on its way.
This time.
The strategic value of this simple, easy to change, low-cost, and fast rail road rose once again.
"Even if an ordinary horse carriage were to speed up and not spare any effort, it would still take at least a day to travel a hundred miles.”
" This carriage can't speed up, but it doesn't need to face the bumps on the road or stop to fill the potholes. Even if it was raining heavily, there was no need to face so much mud.”
"I've estimated that the carriage will only need half a day to travel a hundred miles. It doesn't consume much horse power, so there's no need to change the horse.”
"Hiss, in this way, half of the time is saved, and the horse can still be used, saving at least several times the time.”
"Maybe not, because the longer the road, the more time it takes, especially when driving. It takes the most time to run into all kinds of problems along the way.”
Those who could afford to spend money in Pingkang Lane had traveled extensively and seen the top people of the current generation.
The advantages of the rail road were thoroughly analyzed by them. There were many places that Li Ke himself might not have realized.
"If it's used to transport goods, wouldn't it be?”
"Are you dreaming?" The merchant next to him mocked. How much manpower and resources would be needed to build such a long railway? One thousand, two thousand, or three thousand?"
"Let's not talk about whether you have that kind of wealth. Even if you do, if you dare to gather a crowd, in a few days, the government will arrest you for treason.”
"That's right. Although this railway saves a lot of time, it's only a short hundred miles. I heard that more than ten cracks appeared in a day, and the carriage had no choice but to stop and repair it.”
"Do your calculations. If this happens every day, year after year, will you or I be able to bear the cost of repairing it?”
"Only the royal family can build this kind of railway that requires constant maintenance to transport soldiers and food in order to rule the Great Tang.”
"It seems that as long as the Railroad is there, the Great Tang's army will be swift and fierce, like a divine weapon descending from the heavens!””
"Hahaha…congratulations! Ten thousand years of the Great Tang, ten thousand generations of mountains and rivers!”
The more prosperous the Great Tang was, the more stable their business would be. How could they not be happy?
For a moment, it was a pleasure to push glasses and exchange glasses.
At this moment.
The expressions of the envoys from the Western Regions became even uglier.
They didn't care if the Great Tang's strength would weaken.
What they cared about was that the appearance of this path was controlled by the King of Wu and Heavenly Strategy General Li Ke.
And Li Ke had publicly announced to the Great Tang that he wanted to conquer the west and expand his territory.
"I heard that hundreds of years ago, the Qin Dynasty of the Central Plains built this railway, which was how they destroyed the seven kingdoms of the Central Plains and unified the world.”
Hearing this, the emissaries from the various countries who were secretly meeting became even more worried.
"It's easy to destroy this railway, but it's also easy to build it. How can we solve this problem?”
"The most hateful thing is that those aristocratic families in the Central Plains seem to be possessed. They actually support Li Ke so much!”
The more they thought about it, the more upset they felt. Their country was small and poor, and even if the Great Tang sent out an army, it might be able to destroy their country.
They had come to resist the King of Wu, Li Ke. Could it be that they were really going to be conquered?
Dong dong dong…
Just as they were drinking, they heard hurried footsteps.
"Good news, good news!"
A bearded man pushed open the door and entered. He ignored his slightly disheveled appearance and said,
"Master Xuanzang is willing to intercede for us. What are you still sitting here for? Hurry up and go to the Heavenly Policy General's Mansion.”
Upon hearing this, the seated envoys were still able to sit still. One by one, they suddenly stood up, knocking against the surrounding wine vessels and plates.
"Haha, our country respects the Great Tang as the supreme kingdom of the Celestial Dynasty, and respects Master Xuanzang as the state preceptor. The state preceptor has indeed not let us down!”
"That's right, that's right. Our country is not weak, and we don't have much wealth. Even if the Heavenly Strategy General wants to conquer, it should be Arabia!”
……
When the envoys gathered in the carriage and arrived outside the Heavenly Policy General's manor, there were already many people gathered there.
What surprised them was that Master Xuanzang had yet to enter the sect.
Could it be that the Heavenly Strategy General had rejected Master Xuanzang?
This was not the first time. In the entire Chang 'an and even the Tang Empire, perhaps only the Heavenly Strategy General could do this.
"Master Xuanzang, the Heavenly Strategy General is busy with work and cannot be distracted. Please return!”
Yang Wulian looked at Xuanzang helplessly. He complained in his heart that Xuanzang did not come earlier or later. When he was about to leave, he was stuck here and could not advance or retreat.
Yang Wulian was focused on completing Li Ke's mission and did not want to waste time with Xuanzang.
Xuanzang put his palms together and said in a low voice," Amitabha, I know that Your Highness has a lot of things to do. I'm willing to wait here and give you advice when Your Highness is free!"”
As the saying goes, if the master is humiliated, the subject will die.
A hint of anger flashed across Yang Wulian's eyes. He did not care how high Xuanzang's reputation was. If the other party blocked the door like this, if he left, would he still be able to survive under the General of the Heavenly Strategy?
Yang Wulian thought of a plan.
"Venerable One, a few years ago, I was curious and made a small toy. Venerable One, please appreciate it!”
Yang Wulian took out a wooden bald monk from the basket on his back. The monk held a small broken bowl with both hands and shook it as if he was bowing.
The most amazing thing was that when Yang Wulian placed a Kaiyuan Tong Bao on the broken bowl, Monk Mu actually opened his mouth and said,""Thank you for your generosity! Thank you for your generosity!"
Such a magical item attracted everyone's attention.
When Mu Shi opened his mouth, there was no trace of a spell. How miraculous!
(Yang Wulian's incident was recorded in history.）
