Chapter 108: The bud will always grow

Three days later, Joshua Chan left Yushan with a team of 230 people.

At the same time, they also took away a large amount of silk, porcelain, paper, books and Chinese patent medicines.

These things are limited in quantity for other merchants, and Johnson Chan can carry them in unlimited quantities.

Not only were the international students sent by the Ming Dynasty, but also the staff who supplemented the European embassy, ​​including the doctors, who went there.

There are also twenty-one Europeans who have lived in the Ming Dynasty for more than fifteen years.

These twenty-one Europeans have already taken root in the Ming Dynasty. Although they are still living in the residence until now, this does not prevent them from treating themselves as Ming Dynasty people.

To be honest, Europeans who lived in the Ming Dynasty, especially in Yushan, were not very urgent about going home. They knew what European cities or rural areas looked like.

If it weren't for Europe, they would never have thought of returning to Europe.

However, Johnson Chan needed them to go back to help him prove that the land of Ming Dynasty was a civilized land, not a wild place that Europeans thought.

A "Travels of Mark Polo" is not enough to prove that there is a golden kingdom in the East.

This time, Yun Zhao was preparing to let Johnson Chan take the story of the Ming Dynasty, the golden kingdom, to Europe, so that the Ming Dynasty could become a land where many desperate people could get redemption.

This time, Johnson Chan carried a fine cargo that could fully convey the news of the Kingdom of Gold to those in Europe who longed for wealth.

When a country is weak, the arrival of outsiders will be the beginning of a disaster. If the country is strong, the arrival of outsiders will only make this already prosperous country more prosperous.

Tang Ruowang left, leaving with Xu Yuanshou's ambition and desire. Xu Yuanshou looked forward to the moment when Tang Ruowang returned. He believed that when Tang Ruowang returned, it was the time when Yushan Academy had a huge change.

The original political system of the Ming Dynasty has basically come to an end, and this has already formed a consensus in the circle of scholars in the Ming Dynasty.

It is very difficult to form this consensus.

It was exchanged for the lives of tens of millions of people in the Ming Dynasty.

If Li Hongji, Zhang Bingzhong and various anti-kings were placed on this big platform, their killing and destruction would have some significance. If the Ming Dynasty did not rebel without these people, it would continue to fool it. This would be the greatest disaster for this nation.

The thoughts after being puzzled are often ruthless. If Yun Zhao, a strong man, stood up and conquered the world, everyone would not even have room for reflection, and could only passively welcome a new and arrogant dynasty.

These reflections come from the strength of the Lantian Dynasty, and after the people of the world have enough time to think about it.

Yun Zhao didn't have to think for so long. Before the fall of the Qing Dynasty, the Chinese people made too many thoughts and tried too many times. Finally, they found that the only way to independence and self-improvement was to them.

The Lantian Dynasty had less thought and tried, and finally ushered in the first prosperous era of the Lantian Dynasty when everything was in trouble.

Yun Zhao hopes to keep this prosperous era and try his best to extend the time of the prosperous era.

As long as the prosperous era exists, the Ming Dynasty will become a low-lying land for world wealth, and eventually gather all the wealth of the world and wilderness.

The symbol of a strong country is invincibility all over the world!

The Ming Dynasty really has no enemies now.

Generally speaking, when there are no foreign enemies, it is time to clean up the inside. Yun Zhao feels that the current situation of the Lantian Dynasty is very good, there is no need to correct it, and there is no need to clean it up.

Since the situation is good, we can only strengthen it.

Zhang Jianliang from Jiayuguan also thought so.

Since I have become the sheriff of Jiayuguan, I have to accept my management here. There should be no changes just because a student official appears.

The student official who came was named Peng Yu, who graduated from Yushan Academy. The reason why he was not assigned to the Western Regions outside Jiayuguan was entirely because of his father.

His father has passed away and has been buried in the Tushan Memorial Hall.

It was because he was a meritorious person that he was allowed to choose his place of internship.

He didn't want to be too far away from his widowed mother, so he chose the nearest Jiayuguan.

"From the future, public security will still be mine, and you can only manage civil affairs."

Peng Yu had no objection to this power distribution plan. Zhang Jianliang himself was a sheriff elected by the local people. In this barren land, he, as a sheriff, basically had to manage everything.

He knew that the reason why thieves were extinct near Jiayuguan was that this steel-like man in front of him used a knife to kill him.

He was a newcomer, and this man was the backer he could rely on.

"Yes, my subordinates obey the order!"

With Peng Yu's quick answer, a smile finally appeared on Zhang Jianliang's dark face. He looked at the young man and said, "I don't study much, and because of this reason, I can't make it in the army. I can only be a sheriff in Jiayuguan.

For more than a year, I have been thinking about how to make this city prosperous. It is always unlawful. When you, a scholar, come, you should worry more.

As long as it is for Jiayuguan, I, Lao Zhang, will fully support it."

Seeing that Zhang Jianliang became kind, Peng Yu relaxed his tense nerves and filled Zhang Jianliang's water cup with water. Then he naturally sat opposite Zhang Jianliang and said, "Jiayuguan will definitely prosper."

Zhang Jianliang immediately said: "How do you know?"

Peng Yu smiled and said, "Because, when I was studying in the academy, I saw the railway project map from Lanzhou to the Western Regions at the Railway Academy."

"Railway? Are you talking about the kind of thing that leads to Yushan City from Yushan Academy? Grandpa, I heard that it's not cheap."

Peng Yu also poured himself a glass of water and took a sip and said, "How expensive can it be more expensive than the entire Western Region?"

Zhang Jianliang handed Peng Yu a cigarette and whispered: "What's the point?"

Peng Yu took the cigarette roll and skillfully lit the cigarette roll in Zhang Jianliang's hand with a lighter. Seeing Zhang Jianliang take a sip of cigarette, he stared at the lighter in his hand.

He put the lighter in front of Zhang Jianliang and said, "You keep it, remember to add kerosene to it, I have one."

Zhang Jianliang seemed to have forgotten about the railway construction, and kept playing with the lighter, constantly lit, extinguished, and then extinguished, and said in a dreamlike voice: "I have seen one in the hands of the captain before."

Peng Yu smiled and said, "That was the past. Now, it costs 100 yuan per person, but it is still incomparable to those distributed in the army. I heard that the lighters used in the army cannot be blown out even with the strong wind."

When talking about the army, Zhang Jianliang's interest was much lower. This was an eternal pain in his heart and he could not speak to others.

Peng Yu was also a graduate of the Secretary-General of Yushan Academy, and he still had the ability to observe his words and expressions, so he deliberately guided the topic back to railway construction.

"The important reason why the railway from Lanzhou to Jiayuguan and even the Western Regions was that there was a large iron ore called Jingtieshan in Jiuquan. The imperial court wanted to use this railway as an iron chain to bind the Western Regions.

As long as this railway is completed, it is equivalent to tie the Hexi and the Western Regions together. This is a military and national plan. Uncle Zhang, I think we can make preparations now. We must let the railway pass through my Jiayuguan and build a railway station here."

"Since it is a military and national event, how did you know it? Just a drawing you saw? There are so many good places that have not been built on railways. Where can I get a small place like Jiayuguan?

Moreover, even if the imperial court wants to build a railway, it is not just a matter of time.

Is it too early to prepare now?"

"Uncle Zhang, it's not too early! Our army has built a large territory for the Ming Dynasty. The first thing the court has to do is not rely on railways to make money, but to use railways to firmly bind the land occupied by the army."

"military?"

"Yes, military use, it consumes too much and it's still slow to transport materials from the Central Plains to the Western Regions. When the Tang Dynasty fought against the cannibals in Talas, the reason why the fierce Tang Dynasty people failed was that they failed because of insufficient supplies.

After Zhang Xianzhi's defeat in that battle, the people of the Tang Dynasty had to retreat and give up the Pamirs, so that the Han people's footsteps never reached the west of the Pamirs.

Now, Governor Xia Wanchun's army is about to arrive at an area controlled by the Tang Dynasty. If our Ming Dynasty does not want to repeat the old road of Zhang Xianzhi, this railway must be built. Only when the railway is built can we have the confidence to fight the Arabs in the Mesopotamia and be invincible."

Zhang Jianliang didn't understand Peng Yu's plan to Ching the Kingdom, let alone the old things about the Tang Dynasty.

However, he still heard it clearly. If the student official from Yushan had not talked nonsense, Jiayuguan might have really passed by. Instead of just like now, there were only dozens of carriages passing by here every day.

Taking Peng Yu to the Jiayuguan City Tower, Zhang Jianliang looked at the deserted Gobi Desert outside the city and said sincerely: "This place is about to flourish."

Peng Yu smiled and said, "I didn't understand why you had to stick to this abandoned city gate. Now it seems that your approach is undoubtedly wise.

Gentlemen always say that those of us who read books to death have no bright future.

Now, I think as long as I can make Jiayuguan prosperous, I will not be considered a waste of time to visit Yushan Academy.”

Zhang Jianliang smiled and said, "I'll go to the desperate things, and you can come with your brain. In the future, we will definitely make a fortune here."

"Get rich?" Peng Yu was stunned for a moment.

Zhang Jianliang laughed and said, "What do you think you are doing to stay here? I just want to make a fortune here and make a fortune! When I came here, I thought that this place could make a fortune. Why can't I make a fortune like this good Chengguan?

Boy, listen to me, we not only want to make this place prosperous, but also make a fortune here and make a fortune!"

Peng Yu laughed and said, "It's difficult to be an official who meets the promotion procedures, but as far as getting rich, no one can be stronger than my Yushan Academy's children. This matter is for me."

Zhang Jianliang looked at Peng Yu's tender face and said, "Hey, wake up, listen to me, what I said is a legitimate way to make money, not a trick to get rich.

I like to make money, but it would be awful to lose my head for making money."
