This is a very important matter. Once successful, the expressway directly leading to each village will strengthen the connection between all parts of Daqin and completely condense them into a monolithic one.
……
A month later.
When Song Yuan locked himself in the study to draw the highway planning map, Song Yuanlong excitedly opened the door and walked in.
He held a model airplane in his hand, placed it heavily on Song Yuan's desk, and said triumphantly, "Six-winged gunboat!"
"Six-wing gunship?".
Chapter 302
Song Yuan picked it up curiously, and saw that after a month of improvement, his biplane turned into an aerial gunboat with six flying wings and six large-caliber artillery.
"Can this thing fly?" Song Yuan's face was filled with black lines.
"Of course, I won't come if I can't fly!" Song Yuanlong patted his chest and promised.
A moment later, Song Yuan appeared next to a newly built runway.
Looking at the huge monster in front of him, he swallowed his saliva.
The entire aircraft is equipped with six heavy guns, three on each side, and eighteen people are required to operate the weapons, responsible for filling, steering, and aiming.
The interior of the nacelle is filled with shells, which makes it extremely heavy.
To operate this behemoth, four people are required to operate the joystick in the cockpit, which is as high as one person.
This really shows the characteristics that the people of Daqin like to make things bigger no matter what they make.
The city walls are, and so are the treasure ships of later generations.
It's no surprise that an aircraft that has been directed can do this.
"Six cannons don't seem to have enough firepower. We can add more." Song Yuanlong pinched his chin and thought.
"No, no, no! Don't add, don't add 々々!" Song Yuan hurriedly stopped, and it wasn't that this plane was going to face an entire army, and it didn't need so much firepower.
Just now, the six heavy artillery pieces are already full of firepower.
"What name did you give it?" Song Yuan asked.
If it's Goudan, Mendun or something, he will have to name it by force.
Song Yuanlong pondered for a moment when he heard the words, thought for a while, and then replied:
"Move the underworld."
This plane equipped with six heavy artillery can easily harvest the life of the enemy in the sky, isn't it just a mobile hell?
……
After the improvement of the aircraft, it was immediately put into production.
At the same time, in the early morning of the next day, Song Yuan took out his own plan for building the expressway.
Also without hesitation, Brother Zheng issued an imperial decree to appoint Song Yuan as the supervisor of high-speed construction.
The construction of highways required a lot of manpower, so the people who were captured by the Mauryan Empire and Rome before and became slaves were sent to Daqin by train, and then escorted by soldiers and supervisors to various places to start construction.
In order to deter these slaves, the ceremony at the construction site was held with a mobile underworld.
When a huge monster flew from the sky and razed the distant mountains to the ground, even those who had the slightest idea of escaping planned to work honestly.
After several months, the expressway was completely completed by the end of the year.
At this point, seafood and fruits from the south of Daqin can be transported to the north along the highway, and minerals from the north can also be transported to the south.
The expressway not only facilitates transportation, but also makes trade flourish unprecedentedly, and the annual tax revenue has doubled several times.
The end of the year is the day of paying tribute.
Various affiliated countries of Daqin sent missions to Daqin with a large amount of tribute.
In addition to showing their surrender to Great Qin, this has also become an opportunity for countries to compete in strength, and there are countless rare treasures.
However, the tribute from Taixi Tribute State arrived a few days late, and the missionaries did not wear luxurious clothes like other missions.
When a group of fishy, ragged, barefooted people walked into the palace with a few bought donkeys carrying boxes, everyone (Zhao Zhaozhao) cast contemptuous glances.
Brother Zheng felt that the Taixi tributary state was despising Tianwei, his eyes were a little cold, and he was even considering whether to send a mobile underworld to wipe out those senate, Egypt and the like.
"¨"Salute to you, great Celestial Emperor!"
A group of people made a strange etiquette, and then knelt on the ground.
Song Yuan knew this etiquette, and it was the etiquette of the Vikings.
"Did you beg for food all the way here?" I don't know which mission group laughed aloud.strength.
Chapter 303
"It's embarrassing to bring these rags over here, even I want to chop you off."
Such ridicule is endless.
The Viking glared at them with disappointment and aggrieved eyes.
"Great Emperor of Heaven, we are not without sincerity, please listen to me tell you."
Then, the Vikings told me the ins and outs.
It turned out that Taixi Tribute State knew that he was far away, and had already been preparing for the tribute.
At the beginning, they sent a fleet of 10 people to explore the way, but they were destroyed by the raging waves, and only 1 people returned.
The second time, they set out from the other direction and sent the wisest navigator of Greece with 20 people, but they were also destroyed by the waves.
The third time...the fourth time...it was not until the seventh time that they explored a feasible route.
This route is called the Great Tribute Route, and the various forces gathered another 10 people to start the voyage. In the end, only this group of Vikings reached Daqin.
He was almost killed by Haiphong as a pirate.
There is no way, the navigation technology these days is too bad except for Daqin.
The warships left by the Qin army were only responsible for protecting the officials of Daqin, and did not follow the long voyage.
"I already know your sincerity. Take it easy."
"Thank God."
After the Taixi delegation took their seats, Brother Zheng gave Song Yuan a look, signaling him to come over and discuss things with him.
"Your Majesty, the establishment of the Tribute Railway is imminent," Song Yuan said.
"The Tribute Railway? Are we going to build it all the way to Taixi?" Brother Zheng asked in amazement.
"That's right." Song Yuan nodded, and then began to analyze the pros and cons.
Daqin's existing advanced technology must not flow out, so there is no need to think about helping Taixi Chao Gongbang shipbuilding.
The establishment of the Tribute Railway is nominally used for paying tribute, but in fact it can increase the control of the Great Qin over the dependent countries.
The fleet cannot transport troops on a large scale, but not only can it be transported on a large scale by railway, but it is also continuous and absolutely safe.
At the same time, Daqin can sell surplus goods and transport things like spices and glass that Daqin does not have.
Contacts will be more frequent and trade will be more prosperous.
"So, this is a railway that not only benefits Daqin, but also the whole world."
Brother Zheng nodded.
Although this plan is too big, it is indeed feasible.
Song Yuan is still in charge of the specific plan.
That night.
Song Yuan inspected the route with a reconnaissance plane, and finally drew the most direct and easiest route on the map.
However, even the easiest route will inevitably encounter mountains and seas. In this era, the mountain can be solved by airplane, but the sea reclamation requires manpower.
The slaves who originally built the highway have not yet returned to the Maurya Empire, so Song Yuan intends to use them to build the railway.
When the railway is completed, the slaves whose hometown is in the local area can go home and become free people, and Daqin will pay the travel expenses to go home.
……
The next day.
In the temporarily built slave camp, a soldier of the Qin Army stood on a high platform with a notice drawn up by Song Yuan and preached loudly.
When I read the last sentence, when Daqin paid the travel expenses to go home, all the slaves raised their hands and shouted long live.
"These people don't know how much more difficult it is to build railways than roads?" asked a Qin soldier standing guard.
The veteran beside him replied: "It would be good to give them a way to become free people, that is, we, in other foreign countries, I am afraid that they will be ganged up and killed as soon as the road is built.".
Chapter 304
Immediately after the announcement, the construction of the railway began.
In order to save time, Daqin used the train to send the slaves to the vicinity of the South Island, and then started to build the railway from the Peacock Kingdom.
When Song Yuan arrived in the Peacock Kingdom, he was immediately warmly invited by the current king, Gounaro.
Song Yuan attended the banquet, but he didn't care about the current king of the Peacock Kingdom, because all the real power was in the hands of officials sent by Daqin.
But after thinking about it, it is also a talent to stand out from the complicated and broken forces of the Peacock Kingdom and integrate the whole country.
But what can he do? Even the real power of the country is in the hands of Daqin people, and even the banquets are allowed by Daqin officials.
Thinking of this, Song Yuan drank the wine in the glass in one gulp.
After attending the banquet, it's time to get down to business.
According to the plan, this railway will run across the whole territory of Peacock Kingdom to Dataixi Chaogong State.
This is an epic grand plan. Once this railway is in place, Daqin will firmly control the world.
At the same time, the world can benefit from it.
But building this railway is not an easy task, nor will it be able to see results in a month or two.
So Song Yuan returned to the capital after a simple deployment, and handed over the task of the preparatory stage to other people to complete.
In this stage where he can sneak in, he has another task.
……
In the underground prison, two strong soldiers were beating a short, dark-skinned man.
It can be inferred from his appearance that he is from the Peacock Kingdom.
In the prison, apart from Ah San and the soldier who beat him, there were two other people, Brother Zheng and Song Yuan.
"What's the situation?" Song Yuan just arrived and hasn't figured out the situation yet.
Brother Zheng glanced at Ah San, and said:
"He was a scout caught three days ago, but his goal was not to assassinate me, but to collect technical information."
When the word "technical information" was mentioned, Song Yuan immediately became vigilant.
The reason why Daqin was able to sweep the world was because of those advanced technologies.
But the Taixi people worship them as gods, and don't think about technology at all, and it seems to be the same in other places.
But if someone can think of stealing technology, it proves that this person is not ordinary insight.
Such people must be found and wiped out!
Seeing Song Yuan lost in thought, Brother Zheng asked, "What do you want to do?"
