"What?
Dai Zhide wants to go to the countryside to see?
”After listening to Jin Yiwei's report, Li Lu frowned, what does this Dai Zhide want to see?"
Your Majesty, this Dai Zhide just wants to see the true national strength of our Great Britain, do you want Weichen to send him?"
Jin Yiwei, who came to report the news, said."
It's okay, hehehe, let him see, I want to see, what will he think when he sees the gap?"
Li Lucai is not afraid of Dai Zhide peeking into his national strength, in his opinion, he has dragged the British under his rule into half modernization, and has formed a generation gap with the old Tang Dynasty, he just wants Dai Zhide to know that he is now more than Chang'an, if there is a large-scale war between the two sides, Chang'an will not be able to please, this is a Yang conspiracy."
Fuze, you personally accompany this Dai Zhide on his journey ......through the countryside," Li Lu thought for a while and said to the Jinyi Guard, "Anything that is not involved in military matters, just show him generously .....""
Whoa!"
The Jinyi guard officer named Lu Qing received the order and went to see Dai Zhide."
Dai Gong, Your Majesty said that in addition to military important places, you can visit them, whether it is pastures, farmland, or townships, you can visit ......"
Lu Qing smiled and said to Dai Zhide, "Of course, because you are not our British citizen, I have to be a tour guide for you.....""
Understand, understand....."
Dai Zhide understands Lu Qing's statement, at present, Chang'an regards broken leaves as a big trouble, the enemy of life and death, and people have some restrictions on themselves, and they should be, he turned his head and said to his wife, "Hui Niang, you are waiting for me in broken leaves, I have returned from my travels, let's go back to Chang'an together...."
In this way, Dai Zhide began to explore the secrets of the British countryside accompanied by Lu Qing, at the request of Dai Zhide, Lu Qing took him to a small town on the bank of the Fujiang River, Dai Zhide wanted to see this countryside thousands of miles away from broken leaves, What's the difference with Datang's side.Originally, Dai Zhide was quite proud of the wealth of his Datang side, but after coming to Broken Leaves, this pride was crushed, but Lao Dai was unwilling, he didn't believe that there was no place inferior to Datang, in his opinion, this place called Yangshanji was far away from Broken Leaves, and it was not a prosperous place, it should be a poor mountain and remote land, right?"
Fuze, go to this Yangshan set, you can get there in a month on horseback, right?"
Dai Zhide asked Lu Qing."
Hehehe, there is a railway connection from broken leaves to Jiazhou, you can reach Jiazhou by train in three days, where to go, we will ride to Yangshan ....."
Lu Qing said with a smile.Dai Zhide was stunned for a moment, and then smiled a little embarrassedly, he forgot that in the UK, there is a train that runs faster than horses, and the old Dai, who believes in Confucianism, can't help but slander in his heart, how much is this Li Lu's love for strange skills, and there is such a huge project as the railway, the manpower and material resources consumed should be astronomical, far from the former Sui digging a Grand Canal can be compared, but the British did not have a, but after the construction of the railway, the economy became more and more prosperous, and the former Sui because the Grand Canal consumed the people's power, and subverted the country?
He has been thinking about this problem for a long time in his heart, but he has not come to a conclusion that can convince him to himself, Lao Dai is determined to break this secret, but what he may not know is that even if he can break the secret, the experience here cannot be implemented in the Central Plains.Sitting on the speeding train of the Shajia Railway, Dai Zhide asked Lu Qing, "Fuze, dare to ask how many years has this railway been built?"
”"Hehehe, you said this Broken Jia Railway?
It took seven years to build......"
Lu Qing said with a smile."
Seven years?
The cost of civil and material resources must be not small, right?
Also, the construction of this train is not a small amount, right?
”Dai Zhide asked."
Hehehe, Minli?
This basically didn't cost much, we mainly used prisoners of war, and in addition, we had special railway soldiers in the British army, that is, the people were willing to help, so they still had to give money.....As if he was afraid that Lao Dai would not understand, Lu Qing also specially explained, "This railway soldier is a technical branch specializing in laying railways.....
Dai Zhide is a smart man, he immediately understood how these railways were built, it turned out that these railways were built on the accumulated bones of prisoners of war and the struggle of big soldiers like railway soldiers, no wonder Li Lu did not consume the people's power because of the construction of such a big project, if the Central Plains dared to do this, it would be strange if the Confucian sect did not spray death, not to mention anything else, take Lao Dai as an example, he still has a very good opinion on Li Lu's cruel oppression of those prisoners of war.Lao Dai looked at the scenery of Britain all the way on the train, the farther west he went, the colder Lao Dai's heart became, don't look at Lao Dai is a Confucian loyalist, but he is not a corrupt Confucian, on the contrary, he is very pragmatic and smart, he saw the destructible war potential of Britain under Li Lu from the scenery all the way, not to mention anything else, the cattle and sheep that can not be counted on the farmland and grassland alone are far more than the Tang Dynasty, thinking of this, Lao Dai can't help but sweat for his lord Li Zhi, too bad, if you really fight, Chang'an is by no means an opponent of Broken Leaves.Although Lao Dai realized the disparity in strength between the two sides, he did not recognize Li Lu's concept of governing the country, but he had no way to find a strategy from the Confucian classics that could make the Tang Dynasty quickly surpass the British.When Lao Dai and Lu Qing arrived at the town called Yangshanji, Lao Dai suddenly saw that there was a three-story building standing in the highest place in the whole town, and it was a small red brick concrete building that only big cities like Broken Leaves. ”"Official??
Dai Gong, you guessed wrong, this building, the first floor is a convenience department store, the second floor is a primary school hall for the children of several villages, the third floor is the Taoist temple set up in Yangshanji and the clinic jointly run by my dynasty and Daomen, all of which are places to serve these people, and the real Yangshan Town Office is over there......"
Lu Qing pointed with his hand, Dai Zhide took a look, ouch, the official office representing the British court was actually committed to a few wooden houses, he couldn't help but be a little surprised, "Fuze, most of the people are afraid of power and not virtue, Therefore, the government is the most important and magnificent building in the city, and is it a little inappropriate for you to be like this now???
”"Hehehe, Dai Gong, let me tell you this, you all say that you are the parents of the people, right?"
Seeing Dai Zhide nodding, Lu Qing continued, "But in our Great Bring, it is not the case, since the beginning of His Majesty's house, His Majesty has taught us that these officials of mine come from the people, just like fish and water, officials are fish, the people are water, and fish cannot live without water.......
This is also the reason why in our Great Britain is officially called a civil servant.......
In the eyes of my emperor, the people of the Han family are the best people in the world, they are the food and clothing parents of us including him, how can these children not honor their parents?
”Dai Zhide was suddenly shocked, okay, they all said that Li Lu deviated from the scriptures, but I didn't expect him to deviate to such a situation, since ancient times, countless sages have said to educate the people, love the people like sons, but when they came to the UK, they completely turned over, people regard the people as their own food and clothing, good food, good drink and good hospitality, how can the people not like such a country?
But the background of Guan Long's family and the identity of a Confucian scholar are telling Lao Dai that this is a reversal of morality and rebellion, if someone tries to copy the British experience, then he should resolutely oppose it, but another voice is also telling him that winning the hearts of the people and winning the world, the small people don't look as weak as ants, but it is very terrible to be organized by people with a heart, and I didn't see that the powerful Great Sui Dynasty collapsed almost overnight?
Lao Dai, an important minister of the Tang Dynasty, was quite conflicted in his heart, everything he saw was subverting his cognition, and he also understood that once these things were transmitted back to the Tang Dynasty, it was very likely to destroy the family he was born in, and even the Confucianism he believed in would have an unstable foundation, but he knew that only by learning from Britain could he enrich the country and strengthen the army, and only then could he compete with the British, but, but, ......
