Let you be a faint king, and you have unified the six kingdoms?

But once the nature of the battle turns into a city offensive and defensive battle, then the dry army is too good at fighting.

Condescending!

Bullying!

A well-armed army is always full of firepower when defending the city!

days thereafter.

Sure enough, the dry army firmly defended the capital city.

The Xuan'e army can only eat the wind and rain outside.

They were short of supplies and had to leave early after a few days.

Although the dry food did not run out immediately, but if they really waited until it ran out before leaving, then Luo Mai would let them know what cruelty is.

That would be an endless pursuit.

In the end, these Xuan'e troops could only leave again, and gathered some remaining small tribes nearby, and brought them to Xi Xuan'e together.

Now, it can be said that more than half of the original Xuan'e territory has fallen into the hands of Qian Guo.

The most important thing is that Xuan E has been seriously injured.

No, it would not be an exaggeration to call it dying.

Previously, Xuan'e still had the ability to invade Wei State, but now, he might not even have the strength to invade Wei State.

All that is left to the country of Xuan'e is to wait for death.

Even this winter, Xuan'e will be sad because of the lack of supplies.

If the two khans quarreled again, Luo Mai might not need to send troops, and the remaining dying Xun'e could play himself off.

…………

at the same time.

In the territory of Wei State, Yang Su's First Army, under Liu Liu's incomparable bravery, continued to open up.

And because Luo Mai more or less attracted some Wei troops to go over, this made it easier to break through the battlefield here.

Finally, Gan Jun went deeper than last time.

Wherever he went, Wei Jun wailed.

Even Yedu, the capital of Wei State, is already far away.

If there is nothing wrong with the Tang State at this time, then the Tang army will send troops below at this time, and it will be able to hit the Qianjun's abdomen halfway, which will cause a lot of trouble for the Qianjun.

However, the Second Army led by Ke Hua'an and the Chen Army have already approached the city of Chang'an!

Chang'an City, the capital of the Tang Kingdom, was once again attacked by soldiers!

Although, the pressure on Tang Guo was full.

But this time, Tang Jun made sufficient preparations.

Qian Jun and Chen Jun attacked from the south and north walls respectively, but neither took Chang'an City.

caught in a stalemate.

…………

at the same time.

dry country.

Bauhinia City.

The big cabinets are excited to settle this year's taxes!

25 billion!

Great efforts to the original land, 20 billion taxes!

Wu Di: 3000 million taxes.

Sichuan: 500 million taxes.

Qidi: 1 million taxes.

Yandi: 1200 million taxes.

Korea Province: 1 million tax revenue.

Xuan Eling: Taxes amount to 10 taels, which is almost nothing.

Heilongjiang Province: No taxation.

Sakurajima Province: 1 million!

"God bless me!"

"I'm thriving and keep breaking records!"

"After we owned the surrounding area of ​​Bauhinia City, Jiangnan area, and Sakurajima province, we have two more areas with over [-] million tax revenues, Qidi and Koryo province!"

"Qi is because of the Grand Canal and Xindu, and Koryo Province is also developing well, Yu Qixiang can do it!"

"Quickly report this matter to His Majesty!"

"Your Majesty must be delighted!"

Chapter 371 Seven Capitals of the Central Plains!Overhaul the canal!Jingcha, there are almost not enough officials

25 billion...

Looking at this number, Luo Lin felt quite helpless.

He really didn't expect that there would be two more regions with tax revenues of over [-] million yuan this year, Qidi and Korea.

Ok.

Fortunately, Rollin has proved that both the opening of canals and the construction of new ones are successful.

Then go on!

Anyway, there are more sites now!Then don't build more new capitals!

Just right, build a new capital in one area!

"Let the Seven Capitals appear on this land of the Central Plains." Luo Lin narrowed his eyes.

This is something that has never happened in the previous life, Luo Lin couldn't help being a little excited when he thought about it.

soon.

Rowling came to the big cabinet.

"I want to overhaul canals across the country and build another five new capitals! The money in the treasury is only meaningful if it is spent."

"Your Majesty is holy!" ×N

There was no resistance, and the prime ministers of the big cabinet saluted together, extolling Luo Lin's wisdom and martial arts.

Luo Lin has long been used to this atmosphere.

Then he left gracefully.

The prime ministers continued the discussion.

The locations of the five new capitals are basically determined, Sichuan, Wu, Tang, Wei, and Yan.

Of course, Tang and Wei are not yet destroyed, so there is no rush.

And then again, these five places already have their original capitals.

And the capital already has a good effect of controlling the surrounding area.

In other words, none of these five new buildings is necessary.

It seems that it's just that there is too much money to panic, so let's spend it all first.

However, these five new capitals have advantages and significance that these original capitals did not have.

First: New!

For example, Chang'an City in the Tang Dynasty is still in the Han Dynasty. Although it has been renovated many times, it is already very old.

Second: use a new material, cement!

Not only beautiful, but tough!

Third: It can provide a large number of jobs!

Today, Sichuan and Wu have just been destroyed, and the regional economy is in depression.

Fourth: and the most important advantage, these new buildings will be built around the Grand Canal!

Although trains have already appeared, there are still various disadvantages of trains, such as poor cost performance and slow moving speed.

In short, the train is still unable to replace water transport.

Waterways are still the most advantageous mode of transportation in this era!

"Your Majesty is so talented, so naturally he won't just sit back and watch the money in the treasury go to waste!"

"This is simply a great achievement no less than the unification of the six major countries. The construction of the Grand Canal and the construction of a new capital on such a scale have never been done since ancient times!"

"I can even imagine that if so many canals are really built, then the efficiency of people traveling in China will be greatly improved! Whether it is for the economy, culture, or even the military, it will be huge. promote!"

For the economy, merchants can come and go faster, commodities can flow faster, and commerce will usher in a golden age visible to the naked eye.

Regarding culture, there are countless poets who want to see the snow fields in the Northeast, the green grasslands, the yellow sand in the Western Regions, the rain in the south of the Yangtze River, and the turbulent sea... It is conceivable that when these cultural creators go more, they will be able to stimulate the development of culture. creation.

Moreover, culture is something that is very dependent on the economy. When the economy develops, more people will study culture.

Naturally, there is no need to say more about the military!

The faster the army is transported, the faster the evacuation, support, and deployment will be.

The faster the transportation of materials, the stronger the logistics capability.

…………

The prime ministers of the big cabinet discussed it enthusiastically for a long time, and finally they were unwilling to leave after dark.

Zhao Yang, Ke Wu and Yang Hong left together, ready to have some dinner.

Talking on the road.

At this time, Yang Hong suddenly asked: "Master Ke, is it possible for wire car transportation to replace water transportation in the next 20 years?"

"It's hard to say." Zhao Yang shook his head, "One thing to say, the one who knows the train better now is the Jiangnan Institute of Technology."

"How about having some report documents sent over there after that?" Yang Hong said.

"Well, it's a trivial matter. The Jiangnan Institute of Technology is our vassal." Zhao Yang nodded.

Ke Wu on the side said: "Yang Hong, why do you think that line transportation can replace waterway transportation? You know, waterway transportation has been the best mode of transportation since ancient times."

"Times are changing." Yang Hong said, "Didn't you take the train when you went to Jiangnan this year? I felt something at that time. I think at least a waterway will be the main mode of transportation in the future, and the line will be the supplementary mode."

"If railcars and trains can be developed better, or if the track is laid throughout the entire Dagan, then maybe it can become the main line and the waterway as a supplement."

Zhao Yang also asked: "I don't like line transportation very much. Although it relies on air to propel equipment, Diba is really powerful. But line transportation consumes a lot of coal, and the previous rail cars also required a large number of wrestlers or warriors to pass. variable force device to pull the rail car."

"The waterway is different. Water flows from high to low, and manpower cannot stop it."

"In other words, just sit on the boat and do nothing, and the water will push the boat downstream."

"I still feel that water transport is better than line transport."

Yang Hong said: "Let's stop here. It's too far to discuss these things now. What's more, His Majesty has already confirmed that the construction of the Canal is obviously going to focus on water transportation."

"And I just had a feeling, too."

"Water moderates and conceives all things."

"Indeed, compared with trains, water transport does not require coal or wrestlers to contribute. Just put the ship in the water, and the water will push the ship downstream."

"But again, it limits the speed of the boat."

"Water has resistance. If you want to achieve speed on water, I have a hunch that the train will eventually surpass the ship."
