Boil the heavens

"According to what His Majesty said, women can hold up half the sky. In Dazhou, many important jobs are held by women. In garment factories, 80.00% of the employees are women. Other Mingjing factories, sun-dried salt factories, etc. are full of women. staff."

"Your Majesty once told me about some systems and ideas of later generations, about Cheng Zhu Neo Confucianism, General Xu, in Dazhou, forget about those things that restrict human nature, otherwise... discriminate against women, you will be attacked by groups, others Not to mention, just the wives of His Majesty are the pillars of the Great Zhou. Mrs. Xue is now the president of the railcar head office, responsible for planning the transportation of the entire Great Zhou; The earth is burning all around, and no one dares to violate the territory; Mrs. Shocking Salamander is not only responsible for the guard work of the caravan, but also serves as a swordsmanship teacher in Yushan Academy. No other... ”

Xu Da listened to Yan Lu's explanation silently. At this moment, he really felt that this is a different world!

"Teacher Yan Lu, you just said that Mrs. Yan's three-legged golden crow burned the earth. Isn't the three-legged golden crow a legendary creature? Could it be that this world exists?" Xu Da asked suddenly.

"According to what your Majesty said, there are powers beyond ordinary people in the world. The three-legged Golden Crow is one kind, and now it is controlled by Madam Yan." Yan Lu chuckled, "The three-legged Golden Crow is soaring. When you make a shot, it really hangs in the air like a little sun, and when the light passes by, nothing is inflammable, and everything is melted."

drop!

While talking and walking, at this moment, there was a harsh sound of beeping in the distance.

I saw a rail car passing slowly not far away.

Working day and night, although it is still far away from the full completion of the rail network, some small sections have been repaired and started operation, such as the one in front of Xu Da and the others. The rail cars are quickly transported between the raw material factory and the construction site, which is greatly accelerated. The construction progress also greatly reduces the waste of manpower.

"That's a rail car. Now it can only pull two or three carriages, with a speed of about 20km/h. Your Majesty plans to repair this thing all over the country in the future." Yan Lu said with a smile, "If it can be done, then Da Zhou will be able to do it." Controlling every inch of your own land is of great help to the governance of the country in the future. Of course, with it, the supplies of the front-line troops will be sufficiently guaranteed."

"I didn't see any cows and horses pulling it. How did this thing move?" Xu Da was very interested in the track car as he kept looking at it.

"The operation of the mechanism depends on the power of the water cycle." Yan Ludao, "If it is pulled by oxen and horses, the consumption is too large, the cost is too high, and it is far from suitable for the mechanism. The mechanism operates, and the railcar can work for eleven hours a day. .”

"It can run at full capacity for eleven hours a day, and the speed is 20km/h. In this way, isn't it possible to travel at least [-] miles in a day?" Xu Da was very sensitive to distance and time when marching and fighting, and looked at Yan in shock. road.

"If that time really comes, it may be far more than eight hundred miles." Yan Ludao, "Now the master class of the Mohist school is still developing a higher-level railcar. It is said that the technology of His Majesty's screws has been added. The second-generation railcar There are already eyebrows."

Passing by a small shop, looking at the hot sun in the sky, Yan Lu said to Xu Da, "General Xu, it's just noon, let's have something to eat here first!"

"That's good, but..." Xu Da also felt that he was hungry, but he suddenly discovered an embarrassing thing, his pockets were shy, and Yan Fei didn't give him money!

Seeing the embarrassment in Xu Da's hesitant tone, Yan Lu said gently, "General Xu, you're welcome. I'll treat you to a mere meal. Since His Majesty entrusted you to me, all your temporary daily life will be up to you." I'm in charge."

"That's it, I'm sorry, I'll return the money to Mr. Yan when I earn money." Xu Da is not a coy person, and he said generously after sitting down.

"No need." Shaking his head slightly, Yan Ludao said, "General Xu's situation is special. I can ask His Majesty to reimburse you for all your current expenses. In fact, I don't spend any money."

"Reimbursement?" Although he roughly understood what Yan Lu meant, Xu Da had never heard of the word "reimbursement", so he didn't quite understand it.

"To put it simply, it is to report the expenses, and then the higher-ups will refund the money to me after verifying the situation." Yan Lu said with a smile.

"Oh!" Xu Da nodded, expressing his understanding.

"Teacher Yan, and this unfamiliar guest officer, what do you want to eat?" The two sat down, and the waiter of this small restaurant immediately greeted them and greeted them with a smile.

With that said, he handed over a menu.

The menu has the name of the dish, and there are pictures next to the name of the dish. The painting is exactly what each dish looks like. The painting is very good, which makes people salivate.

"It looks delicious!" Xu Da laughed, "Do you have any signature dishes here?"

"Boiled pork is our signature dish." The waiter pointed to the red spot on the menu and said to Xu Da.

"Boiled pork? It's just boiled pork in clear water. What kind of signature dish is this?" Hearing the name of the dish, Xu Da laughed and said, "And why is your dish so red? I've eaten boiled pork before, but it's not as bright. s color."

"General Xu, although this dish is called boiled pork, it's not just plain boiled pork. As for the red color, it's chili!" Yan Lu laughed, "It seems that General Xu has never eaten chili, so it's just right. Try it."

"Chili? What is it? A kind of meat or a vegetable?" Xu Da didn't feel embarrassed at all, and asked directly if he didn't understand.

"A kind of dish, very good for dinner!" Yan Lu said.

The temperature outside is high, and this weather is not suitable for eating boiled meat, but since the general in front of him ordered it, Yan Lu will naturally not refuse.

I ordered boiled meat, and then added some other meat dishes and some rice, and the lunch for the two was settled.

Soon, the dishes are on the table.

"Hmm... so fragrant and delicious!"

Xu Da, who thought he had eaten delicacies from mountains and seas, was a little bit out of control. The main reason was that he underestimated the spiciness of chili peppers, and even underestimated the aroma of seasonings from the seasoning factory!

"By the way, don't you have any wine here?" Xu Da asked suddenly, hot and sour, sweating profusely.

"Dazhou's current food shortage is relatively tight, so wine making is not allowed, and the only wines are high-grade wines, which are not available for drinking because of medical treatment." Asking the waiter to bring cold water, Yan Lu explained.

"Food shortage?" Xu Da asked Yan Lu after taking a big sip of water.

"To be precise, you can't say that you are nervous. According to the current grain reserves of Dazhou, it is enough for the people of Dazhou to eat until this time next year. By this time next year, the self-produced grain has already been harvested on a large scale." Yan Lu said, "But The population of Dazhou is still increasing, and projects in various places are constantly starting, and more and more people come to work in various cities, so the consumption of food will continue to increase. In addition, there is not enough arable land in Dazhou, so food You still have to be smart about it.”

"Lack of food... the common people have nothing to eat, it's not easy!" Xu Da sighed, "This will easily lead to chaos."

"With His Majesty here, no." Yan Lu chuckled, "General Xu, don't underestimate His Majesty's prestige in Dazhou."

0249 Year-end report

"This is Yushan College?"

Along the way, Xu Da, who walked here and there, finally reached Yushan College, looked at Yushan College, which had become two rows of houses instead of two houses, and asked Yan Lu.

"That's right, this is Yushan College." Yan Lu chuckled, "It may take some time for General Xu to compete in the battlefield, and you will need to teach at Yushan College during this time."

"Originally, I just wanted to introduce a teacher who knows the art of war to Yushan College, but according to His Majesty, it seems that I want General Xu to open up a branch, a military academy, specializing in education in art of war, military and other related aspects. Graduates go straight into the military, as junior officers or otherwise."

"Forming the academy..."

Scratching his head, Xu Da was really confused. He had never done such a thing before. Moreover, Da Zhou's college was obviously different from the school and the model of masters leading apprentices in his impression. For a while, he felt unable to start.

"I need to have a thorough understanding of Yushan College first." Xu Da said.

"It's natural." Yan Lu chuckled, "The establishment of the academy cannot be completed overnight, and General Xu doesn't need to worry."

"However, although the academy is not in a hurry to establish it, General Xu needs to accept an apprentice first." Waving his hand, Yan Fei called Zhao Tuo over.

"Little guy, your name is Zhao Tuo?"

Hearing the name, Xu Da was very surprised, this is a big man!

Xu Da settled down in Dazhou, and from being unaccustomed to it at the beginning, he liked it more and more. Autumn came, and when the heavy snow fell in winter, he had already started preparing for the military academy.

It was snowing heavily and the scenery was beautiful.

But in ancient times, it is also a miserable beauty!

The reason is very simple. There are too few ways to keep warm in this ancient time. Fortunately, the aristocrats have big houses and special staff to take care of them, so it is not too uncomfortable.

But in Dazhou, such a situation will not happen.
