Chapter 304 Translator
It is an exaggeration to say that it is a railway track. In fact, it is a cement track covered with an N-shaped iron jacket laid on top of the sleepers. It is only two fingers wide and very thin.
However, sixteen horses can be used to pull the four-wheeled carriage carriages connected together to transport thousands of tons of cargo at a time. In one trip, the carrying capacity is already greater than that of the Meishan II large ship.
This thing has been put into use in the Anning River Mining Area for a long time. Now that the technology has matured, the board of directors of Sitong Company wants to bring it to Sichuan.
This idea was provided by Su You. The specific feasibility analysis, on-site investigation, program planning, and specific technical problems were all solved by Liu Si in front of him.
With this line, the four Chuanxia Roads will be connected horizontally, and a preliminary and complete land and water transportation network will be formed between several large cities in central Sichuan.
This plan is very large and has been carried out for two years. It is expected to be completed in three to five years.
Su You also has ambitions. With him in Kuizhou, the Kuizhou section, one of the last parts of the Grand Ring Line that was originally planned to be built four years later, can start ahead of schedule.
Open the land passage from Xiazhou to Yuzhou! Restore the old Yiling road built by Zhuge Liang in the Han Dynasty! Improve the shipping conditions of the Three Gorges!
Everything starts from scratch.
The science and engineering team brought by the two men were all the younger ones who were later trained by the children of migrant workers in Lingjing. Su You was no longer very familiar with them, so they all gathered around them now.
Su You smiled and said: "I won't be polite when you come. The preliminary measurement of Yong'an Palace Pier is a good practical lesson. This place must be restored as soon as possible. There are so many things needed, but now we can't even rely on the Meishan Type II
.”
Everyone walked to the government office together. On the way, Su You asked again: "Where is Yuan Zhen? How is he now?"
Long Changqi returned to Meishan and continued to write books. Two years ago, after receiving the title of "Tian Hua" from Su Youzhong, he laughed out loud and drank several glasses of wine to congratulate him.
The next day, people found that the old man had left with a smile, and he was ninety-one years old.
On the seventh day after the old man's death, a large-scale memorial ceremony was held in Meishan, Erlin, Dali, and Chuanxia Academy.
When the news reached Bianjing, Su You burst into tears, closed the door, and held a private sacrifice with San Su under the auspices of Su Xun.
For three consecutive days, every guest who dines at Fang Zhiwei will receive a small portion of Snowflake Chicken Chowder. In this way, Su You commemorates the first meeting between the two.
The old man's theory was not recognized by the Song court, but Su You believed that Long Changqi was actually the first person to formally introduce Yinming, one of the Six Mings of Buddhism, into Confucianism.
In a few decades, the Confucian Society will absorb a large number of Buddhist and Taoist theories. Su You believes that by then, people will give this old man the treatment and evaluation he deserves.
Liu Si said: "Yuanzhen has returned to the Erlin Department, and Mr. Long has left. He is now continuing to study under Mr. Fan and Mr. Tang."
Su You nodded: "I have a set of bibliographic records here for new scholars, as well as all the papers I have written in the past three years. I will write a letter to him soon. If you are willing, come and follow me."
On the 15th, Kuizhou market.
In Kuizhou City, he finally gained some popularity.
Half of them are barbarians, wearing blue linen clothes, with a narrow upper body, wide trouser legs on the lower body, colorful ribbons on the collar and sleeves, and hemp shoes or straw sandals on the feet.
On the other hand, the woman had some bronze and silverware on her body, and her skirt was also gorgeous, so she probably wore all her belongings.
Su You asked Chao Wa to set up a stall with a few children, put on a big pot and boiled water, and with a small frying pan at the same time, he asked Liang Yuanwai to collect one or two hundred eggs from the countryside.
That's right, this kid wants to sell omelette noodles.
Seeing the ragged clothes on the street, Su You couldn't bear to collect their taxes.
In addition to the judges and officials, there is also a management team of more than ten people in Kuizhou City. The county magistrates appointed by the imperial court usually hang around Tuomen Road in Bianjing, waiting to change places, and never come.
After more than ten years of working without a job, the official became an agent of the county tax department and organized several young people to take charge of government functions.
Lao Wu still did his duty. He collected the bamboo and ramie in the warehouse, but even he himself didn't know what to use it for.
Su You made a cup of tea on a small table next to the noodle shop and observed the market.
The water here is really good and the tea is very fragrant.
The business of the noodle shop is also very good. The aroma of the omelette noodles attracts many villagers, and even more foreigners.
A Han man wearing Yi clothing came to the noodle stall and said, "Hey, what kind of novel food is this?"
Zaowa smiled and said: "Sir, these are omelette noodles. Would you like a bowl?"
The man squinted his eyes and said, "It smells really good. How much does it cost?"
Zaowa said: "It's not expensive, thirty cents. I have an egg, fry it in white oil, and you'll be hungry after eating it. It's a good deal!"
The man sat down and said, "Here's a bowl!"
Zao Wa called Wa Zi down, scooped some lard and melted it in the pot, beat an egg, added salt to mix, and poured it into the pot.
With a sizzling sound, the eggs in the pot began to expand, and the aroma immediately spread throughout the noodle shed.
Add water to boil, add some vegetable leaves, cook the noodles and put them into a bowl, pour the omelette soup into it, add a pinch of chicken powder, a few chopped green onions, a few drops of sesame oil, sprinkle with salt, and serve it there
In front of a man.
The man took a bite and felt that it was really good, so he started eating vigorously.
Zaowa brought another plate of kimchi and put it on the table: "Please feel free to use it, sir. Here is a plate of side dishes as a gift."
The kimchi was also mixed with spicy oil, and the man couldn't stop eating it.
When he finished eating, the man put the bowl down, wiped his mouth, burped, stood up and left.
Zaowa quickly stepped forward to stop him: "Sir, I haven't paid you yet!"
The man smiled: "Money? Is there anyone in Kuizhou City who dares to ask me for money?"
Zao Wa smiled apologetically and said: "It's a small business. You just screamed a few times, which shows that the store's service is considerate and thorough. How can you not give me the thirty cash we agreed on?"
The man shouted several times in the Yi language to the street, and a dozen Yi people squatting on the street selling mountain products stood up, and each of them had a half-foot-and-a-half sharp knife at their waist, and came to the man.
The man sneered: "Brother, open your eyes a little brighter. Do you still need money now?"
Chao Wa smiled and said, "I didn't expect it, I'm really sorry."
After speaking, he took a few steps back, called the children behind him, and shouted: "Bedi! Business is coming!"
Qidi Longshan was squatting somewhere and chatting with the Yi people. When he heard him being called, he strode over and said, "What's the matter?!"
This boy is not as powerful as he is when he has not enough food and food. In the past few years, he has been eating and drinking with the little wizard, and he has to eat a pound and a half of braised pork in one meal. Then he fights with barbarians on horseback and swords in the Bianjing Embassy District every day.
, his tendons and flesh were shiny, and the weight of the leaf hammer in his waist had changed twice. Now that he stood up, everyone felt that the sky was cloudy.
Qidi shouted: "What's the matter? You want to fight?!"
Zao Wa smiled and said, "No, I don't want to give you money for dinner."
Qidi Longshan loudly asked a few questions in the barbarian language to the dozen or so barbarians around him. The barbarians showed disdain on their faces and dispersed in the blink of an eye.
Zao Wa smiled apologetically at the man and said, "Chenghui, thirty coins."
The man was stupid: "I...I didn't bring any money..."
Qidi Longshan was furious, and he grabbed the man's collar and was about to get angry. He heard a voice behind him saying: "Tell him to borrow it from the barbarians!"
Qidilongshan then released the man and said, "Go and borrow it! If you don't give me the money today, you won't be able to leave Kuizhou City!"
Seeing that the situation was not as good as his own, the man had no choice but to run to the barbarians. After a while, he came back and threw some banknotes on the table: "What a small noodle stall! We will have many contacts in the future, we will see!"
Qidi Longshan pretended to beat the man, but the man was so frightened that he ran away quickly.
Su You didn't show up during the whole process. After a while, Wu Caicai hurried over with a few of his men: "Mingrun, are you okay?"
Su You smiled and said, "It's okay. Come sit down with Lao Wu and have a cup of tea. Do you know that person?"
Wu Cai was a little surprised: "You didn't offend him, did you?"
Su You added a cup of tea to Old Wu: "No, it's only natural to give money to eat. Who is this person?"
Wu Cai looked at Su You: "You are really not offended?"
Su You said: "I'm really not offended."
Wu Cai then breathed a sigh of relief: "This man is the translator of Langfang Township in Jizhou Prefecture at the junction of Chongqing and Kui. The barbarians there use Konoha to divide the four seasons, so they are also called Konoha Barbarians."
Su You thought for a moment and found that there seemed to be no registration information for this tribe in the Erlin Sacrifice Hall. It seemed that the Erlin Tribe's control over the southwestern barbarians was beyond the reach of people below Luzhou.
Wu Cai said: "The barbarians in Langqi Township are fierce and have the strongest force among all barbarians. They climb mountains and ridges as if they were walking on flat ground. We can't afford to offend two or three big cats in Kuizhou."
