My subjects are too rebellious!

As spring arrives and flowers bloom, the long and difficult winter finally passes away like a tired traveler, slowly unloading its heavy baggage.

In the land of the Wu Dynasty, all things revived and were full of vitality, as if the whole world was re-endowed with color and vitality overnight.

The sunlight became gentle. It penetrated the gauze-like clouds, sprinkled on every inch of land, and covered the cold air with a layer of warm golden glow.

The river thawed, and the gurgling water flowed around the village, through the fields, and finally into the vast ocean.

In the fields, the busy figures of farmers can be seen everywhere.

They were sweating profusely, but their faces were filled with happy smiles, because the arrival of spring meant hope for sowing and also heralded a good harvest in autumn.

There was also a festive and peaceful scene inside the palace.

Qin Chuan stood on the high city wall, overlooking the land, his heart filled with pride and satisfaction.

The winter in ancient times is completely incomparable to that of modern times.

Cold, bitingly cold.

Fortunately, there were no disaster victims this winter, and no people froze to death or starved to death.

This alone is enough to satisfy Qin Chuan.

......

On a quiet afternoon, the sky had just removed the veil of spring rain, and the air was still filled with the fresh scent of soil, flowers and plants.

The sunshine after the rain shines through the sparse clouds and sprinkles on the rain-washed fields. Everything looks so fresh and vivid.

On this vibrant land, an elderly but energetic grandfather, leading his huge buffalo, slowly walked to a clear stream beside the village.

The stream was a little turbulent due to the recent rain, and it carried a bit of the chill of early spring. Even young people needed some courage to step into it.

However, Grandpa's face was full of love and patience, and his eyes revealed his deep concern for this loyal partner.

The buffalo first stepped into the water cautiously, feeling the long-lost coolness, and then completely let go, rolling and playing in the water, splashing water.

Grandpa stood on the shore, letting the water splash on his clothes. His eyes always gently followed the figure of the buffalo, with a satisfied smile on his lips.

Time seemed to freeze at this moment, leaving only the sound of water, the mooing of cows and the occasional gentle call from grandpa.

Half an hour may be just a fleeting moment in the eyes of others, but for Grandpa and the buffalo, it is a silent but affectionate companionship between each other.

Finally, when the buffalo had its fill, grandpa gently pulled the reins and led it to the shore.

After getting ashore, the buffalo seemed to be still reluctant to leave. It found a piece of fresh green grass by the roadside and began to enjoy it leisurely.

Grandpa didn't urge him, but just stood quietly by the side, waiting patiently for this old friend to enjoy his delicious time.

The afterglow of the setting sun shines on them, giving the picture a warm golden color.

The buffalo's tail swayed gently, not only driving away the flies and insects around it, but also seemed to be expressing its satisfaction and happiness.

Grandpa's eyes were full of tenderness and doting. He knew that although this companionship was silent, it was deeper and more sincere than any words.

When the buffalo was finally full, it looked up at grandpa, with trust and dependence in its eyes.

A man and a cow, one in front and one behind, set out on their journey home.

......

The buffalo in my family is very smart. It will throw a tantrum when it is angry. When I was a child, I ran away on the mountain road because I was playing. The whole village was looking for me, but they couldn’t find me. It was my buffalo and the big yellow dog who found me with their humming and weeping.

It kept mooing and cursing at me all the way. The next day, I couldn't pull it when I was herding cattle. It was not until my grandfather gave it a good beating in front of me that it finally followed me, crying, out to eat grass. My grandfather said that cows are very intelligent and should be treated as family members.

It's a pity that the author himself has not experienced it.

......

In the capital of the Wu Dynasty, inside the imperial palace, the Qianqing Palace.

Qin Chuan sat upright on the dragon throne, his brows revealing extraordinary heroism, and he stared at His Highness, Long Er.

"Long Er, I have something that I need you to do immediately."

Qin Chuan's voice echoed in the empty hall.

Upon hearing this, Long Er immediately stepped forward and bowed.

"As long as your majesty gives the order, Long Er will not refuse even if he dies."

Qin Chuan smiled slightly, raised his hand to signal Long Er to come closer, then picked up a thick drawing from the desk and slowly unfolded it.

On the drawing, the lines are intertwined and the composition is complex. There are both majestic and spectacular buildings, as well as winding and strange structures that have never been seen before.

That is the sketch of the railroad track.

"Long Er, please take a look at these drawings."

Qin Chuan's gaze fell on the drawing, with a gleam in his eyes.

"This is part of the grand plan I have in mind. These buildings will be the landmark buildings of the future Wu Dynasty. They will stand in various places in the capital, demonstrating the prosperity of our Wu Dynasty."

"More importantly, the construction of this railway is an unprecedented innovation. It will double the speed of carriages and horses, shorten distances, connect the four directions, and bring unprecedented convenience and prosperity to the Wu Dynasty."

Long Er looked at the drawings carefully, and was shocked.

"Your Majesty is wise. Such a feat will surely help our Wu Dynasty to reach a higher level."

Long Er responded in a deep voice.

"Okay, Long Er, I know you are steady and good at leading troops. This time, I will order you to be in charge of this matter. Work with skilled craftsmen to study every detail on the blueprint and ensure that every project can be constructed according to the blueprint and strive for perfection."

Qin Chuan solemnly handed the drawings to Long Er, as if he was entrusting the future of the Wu Dynasty to him.

Long Er took the drawings with both hands and felt the heavy responsibility.

"Your Majesty, rest assured. Long Er will live up to your trust and go all out to ensure the smooth completion of this great undertaking." Long Er bowed again, his voice sonorous and powerful, echoing throughout the hall.

......

Railway tracks, market towns, high-rise buildings...

As for steam engines...even if you don't know how to use them, you can exchange them with the system.

After Long Er's figure disappeared around the corner of the palace, Qin Chuan gently stroked the dragon pattern on the table.

“But this road should be expanded.”

"Zhang Rang, go and convey my order to summon the Minister of Works Li Qiliang and the Minister of Revenue He Shen immediately. I have something important to discuss with you."

Zhang Rang bowed and agreed immediately. He turned around and was about to leave, but Qin Chuan stopped him and said, "Wait a minute. Tell them that this matter concerns the future development of the Wu Dynasty. They must come quickly and there must be no mistakes."

Zhang Rang was startled, knowing that this matter was of great importance. He immediately withdrew and hurried to the residences of the two ministers.

Soon, the Minister of Works Li Qiliang and the Minister of Revenue Heshen entered the palace one after another and came before Qin Chuan.

Both of them were important officials in the court, one was in charge of construction projects, and the other was responsible for household registration and financial revenue and expenditure.

"My two beloved ministers, I summoned you here today because I have an important matter concerning the future of the Wu Dynasty to discuss with you." Qin Chuan went straight to the point, his tone revealing unquestionable majesty.
