Li Longji and the others did not know what kind of steam engine they were looking at. It was the most advanced type of steam engine. If they wanted to update it, it would be an internal combustion engine.
Anyway, to them, as long as it was a steam engine, it was the best.
The officials knew that Zhao Changnu was not beaten unjustly.
Look at Li Yi's contribution to the Tang dynasty. Is it okay to speak ill of him behind his back?
Zhao Changnu was at the back of the group. He was in a good mood. The four big boils were treated. The imperial physician came to check and said that there would not be too big of a scar.
Otherwise, he would need to apply medicine to remove the poison. Once the medicine was applied, the boils would become bigger, soft, and then burst open.
Many times, if the medicine was not applied properly, people would die or get infected.
The imperial physician hinted to Zhao Changnu that he should give a gift to the person who beat him. He really helped him beat him.
Zhao Changnu, who was beaten, did not resent Li Yi at all. Li Yi helped to intercede. Otherwise, not to mention 20 beatings, his bones would be broken and he would be paralyzed in bed for five days.
There were also those who did not break bones. After being beaten, they felt that there was no big problem. Not long after returning home, they began to pee blood …
Zhao Lifei, who had turned into Jie Yu, stayed by her brother's side. She did not go to Li Longji.
"Brother, after you recover, go to Lantian County to find Zhangsun Xin and learn more. Later, you have to go to Biao County. The Provincial Governor is gone. Doctor Li has done his best."
Zhao Lifei personally changed the medicine for her brother. The weather was hot, and pus and blood had to be squeezed out. After applying medicine, she covered it with gauze.
She learned some things in the past. Li Yi said that Zhangsun Xin was going to die. The Empress begged His Majesty to move Zhangsun Xin to Lantian County.
Li Yi had helped Zhangsun Xin defy the heavens and change her fate.
"I know. Being a Provincial Governor is death. Others told me. Ouch! I wanted to find Li Yi to take a look at the boils on my butt. Now, I don't need to.
If he took a look, wouldn't it be better now? The moment I bit through that beating, I could even feel the boils spurting out. "
Zhao Changnu had lived for so long, so he was obviously not an idiot.
He had a thought in his mind. Would it be more satisfying to ask Li Yi to look at his boils than to be beaten?
"Li Family Zhuangzi and Zhang Family Village have this kind of treatment. Li Dongzhu directly cut it open and put a drainage strip. It will be fine in a few days." Zhao Lifei didn't care about her brother's pain.
What was this bit of pain? It was just a sneeze, not a real beating.
"When I arrived at Bi 'an County, I was wondering if I could build the railway there. That day, I thought I was dead for sure." Zhao Changnu, who had experienced death, had changed greatly.
At that time, he had been dragged down and beaten. How could he have known that someone would plead for him? He was so scared that he wet his pants.
"Recover first. Tonight, I'll take you to the Li Family Zhuangzi and beg Li Yi to take a look at you. Can you hurry up? The weather is hot, what a pain! "
Zhao Lifei had her own plans. Her brother had indeed offended Li Yi. With her brother's relationship and status, Li Yi guaranteed that he would not care.
If she went to Li Yi as a patient, Li Yi would not lower herself to her brother's level.
"Brother Yi, can the other counties in the capital be connected to the railway network?" Li Longji asked Zhao Changnu what he was thinking.
"Not now. If we have the money, we have to use it in other places first. The capital's water network and land roads are well repaired.
If we use it in Lantian County, the other counties will use the railway. It will be icing on the cake. We have to provide help in times of need.
The next railway line will be connected to Jiangnan West Road. Actually, I want to connect it to Shu Land, but that … is too difficult. "
Li Yi did not dare to build the railway in Sichuan, including Chongqing. Chongqing was now called Yuzhou and belonged to Shannan West Road.
Southwest, West, and Northwest. Li Yi felt that they should slow down and choose a good place to build first.
The best place to build was along the Jinghang Grand Canal. The other location was connected to Hubei, and this also needed to be built.
Because of the maritime trade, they had the money to build the railway from Guangzhou to Yangtze River.
When they had earned the money, they would build the railway in other states.
"Brother Yi, this year's revenue will be more. You estimate that it will be more than 50 million. Is it still not enough?"
Li Longji was anxious. He wanted to become a fatty in one bite.
"Third Brother, 50 million is nothing. It's only 50 billion. It can't be calculated based on grain. If we buy grain, the price of grain will be high.
Ten years later, I will add a zero to the back. 500 million may seem a lot. But! In my eyes, it is still not enough. "
Li Yi knew how much money was needed to build a country. Was 500 billion a lot?
In ten years, with overseas expansion and new crops, 500 billion would not be a problem.
Let's see who we're competing with. If we're competing with other countries, we'll crush them.
Compared to Li Yi's previous country, it was too little. Technology could not keep up, and there would be development bottlenecks.
In the next ten years, he had to nurture a lot of talents.
Why was the education in his previous country compulsory for nine years? Because it took ten years to grow trees, but a hundred years to nurture people.
Ten years was the limit, five years was the plan, and one could look back after a hundred years.
These nine years of compulsory education were actually enough. The people would have all the basic knowledge they needed to live.
This included how to repair lights, water pipes, pressure, water conservancy, chemical reactions …
After nine years of compulsory education, if you have the tools and time, if you can't even figure out how to use the water, electricity, and gas pipes in your house, it means that you have returned what you learned to your teacher. Thank you!
The education that Li Yi was thinking of now was not starting from the child.
There were so many students in the Tang dynasty. There was no need to teach literature, right? There was no need to write down the main idea of a paragraph, right?
Simple arithmetic and logical thinking skills did not need to be taught, right?
There was no need to learn foreign languages or politics. Geometry, algebra, physics, chemistry, and junior high school knowledge were taught directly.
With the generous rewards, there would be brave people who would succeed in a few years.
"Third Brother, after autumn, I will take out the textbooks again. Those who learned the previous books well can learn the new textbooks.
If the Imperial Court does not have enough money, the Li Family Zhuangzi will sponsor and reward them. They can learn a lot of knowledge within a year, such as how to hold a knife to the throat. "
Li Yi wanted to study. In his era, many children did not like to study.
In the Tang dynasty, as long as there was an opportunity to study, everyone cherished it.
Before the Tang dynasty, some students were also hardworking.
For example, Zu Chongzhi and other people who calculated the calendar. What good conditions did they have?
They could calculate total solar eclipses, partial solar eclipses, total lunar eclipses, etc.
Li Yi knew that even he could not calculate it. No, he really could not. Many people in his era also could not calculate it.
Therefore, the ancient people lacked an opportunity. An opportunity to protect their family life and do whatever they wanted to do.
What nine, eight, five, two, one? A top graduate from the Mathematics Department who plays with prime numbers. Stop him. Come, calculate the time of the next total lunar eclipse for me. Don't go online, don't read books. Calculate it for me now.
Can anyone calculate it? Yes! There were some people who were unreasonably strong.
Most people would be dumbfounded. What the hell? Why do I have to calculate this? Why should I? I am a top student! Is there any meaning in your questions? It's too unrealistic. You don't understand the modern world at all …
The more incompetent people were, the more they would say such things. But when the awesome people saw the question, they would calculate it for you and tell you, "There is a formula now. Just remember it. It's quite simple."
Li Yi felt that he should give the awesome people in the Tang dynasty a chance. He did not know how to do it, but he admired those who knew how to do it.
