Datang: Li Shimin begged me to rebel

When they got off the train, they looked at the unfamiliar scenery around them, at the unusual platform, at the distant mountains visible to the naked eye, and at the small city.

Obviously, this place is already Chen Cang.

Chencang County was established as a county in the reign of Wude, and it was under the jurisdiction of Qizhou.

When Li Ke and the others came down, the county magistrate of Chencang County was already waiting here.

Chencang County was not a big county before Li Ke developed large-scale iron ore and other industries here, so the county magistrate was at the upper level of the seventh rank, and in later generations, this is the rank of the real power.

For example, the county magistrates of some large counties are ranked from the sixth rank, and the higher Wannian, Chang'an, Henan, Luoyang, Jinyang, Fengxian, Huichang and other county magistrates will all reach the fifth rank.

After seeing Li Shimin and the court officials, Liu Rengui, the county magistrate of Chencang, naturally stood beside him silently.

Li Shimin thought for a while and then said: "Since Chencang now has the largest iron mine and steel factory in Datang, and it is also the road built by the first railway in Datang. In the future, it will also be an important connection node to the Western Regions. It is not appropriate to set it as a county."

"Fang Qiao, eldest grandson Wuji, Wei Zheng."

"The minister is here." All three stood up.

"According to the current administrative level of the Tang Dynasty, Chencang will be removed from the county and established as a city, and changed to Chencang City. It will be implemented after returning." Li Shimin said directly, isn't he just capable of doing the auxiliary work now? He also does the main work. Can't do it.

Liu Rengui next to him was stunned for a moment, naturally his face was overjoyed, Chen Cang had become Chen Cang City, according to the current official rank system of Datang, he would have to go straight up to the third rank, at least the sixth rank.

"Yes!" Fang Xuanling and the three naturally saluted at the same time.

"Liu Rengui, since Li Ke is optimistic about you, Chencang, and wants to build it into the first industrial city in the Tang Dynasty, you must assist Li Ke in related work, and you must not slack off, do a good job in supporting work, and Chencang will develop well in the future. , maybe even raise the level." Li Shimin "encourages" a few words.

"Minister, obey the order!" Liu Rengui bowed down gratefully and saluted.

Seeing Liu Rengui's appearance, Li Shimin nodded in satisfaction. The county magistrate of Chencang was promoted because of Li Ke, and Chen Cang will be promoted because of Li Ke in the future. The officials and officials of Chencang, the people of Chencang, should be grateful to Li Ke?

Didn't Liu Rengui soon become Li Ke's man? Although Li Ke himself thought that he was not on the side of the officials at all, but... this kid is so naive, he lacks experience in political struggle!

Tsk tsk, it's good to be young.

Li Shimin said a few words with emotion.

"Since we're here, let's visit the infrastructure in Chencang today, and then return to Chang'an." Li Shimin said.

"Father, there is one more thing that you and the ministers need to go here." Li Ke said with a smile.

"Oh? What's the matter?" Li Shimin froze for a moment.

"It's the completion meeting of the Changchen Railway! The main construction workers who built the Changchen Railway, the workers who built the trains, and the workers who made the steel rails are all waiting here. There are nearly [-] workers in total." Li Ke said seriously.

Of course, a ceremony was held for the completion of such an important railway construction, and because they were the last to complete the construction of the Chencang section, the ceremony was also placed in this place.

Of course, it was also by the way to show Li Shimin and the others the convenience and strength of the train.

Li Shimin: "..."

All the ministers: "..."

If you cut first and play later, you dare, who else would dare?

"Since the common people are already waiting, let's go, but there are so many common people, they must be speaking to the common people. I will say a few words casually. This is up to you. I am not very good at this aspect. I will speak Ordinary people can't understand the way, you are better at it, this kind of scene is only for the common people to understand." Li Shimin said seriously.

"Okay." Li Ke thought for a while, but he didn't refuse. It is indeed difficult for Lao Li to speak vernacular, and it is difficult to change a person's speech style. Moreover, as an emperor, Lao Li must maintain some lofty habits, so Ordinary people and workers really don't understand the words and sentences.

"Father, please, they are next to the train station." Li Ke pointed to the side and said.

The reason why I chose to be next to the train station was naturally to use the power generation capacity of the train locomotive to pull the wires over. Otherwise, there would be more than 3 workers, and someone would have to pass the message. At this time, the loudspeaker is very good.

After getting off the train and walking to the specially passed road next to the train station, everyone was stunned as soon as they turned the corner, because as far as the eye could see, it was densely packed with people.

In order to prevent rain and other conditions, the railway station was built on a high ground, and the temporary open space of the railway station was a depression, and [-] workers were sitting densely underneath.

The more important thing is the Chencang people who came here spontaneously from a farther place, wanting to see His Highness King Qin and His Majesty.

Of course, Liu Rengui would not say that these people mainly came to see His Highness, because His Highness King Qin made these people live a good life and made them earn more money. Now that they have enough money to eat and wear new clothes, Build a new house.

Every household enshrines His Highness King Qin's Longevity Tablet. Of course, they want to see the person they enshrine. Although they are far away, they may not be able to see His Highness's face clearly, but a glance from a distance is enough.

So there are probably more Chencang people here today than these [-] workers!The surrounding area is densely packed with people.

Here, apart from the guards around the temporary rostrum, there were no guards at all in the distance, but these people were very orderly and did not enter the venue.

As for the big trees farther away, the roofs were full of people.

To be honest, Li Shimin has never experienced such a scene a few times, and the court officials have experienced even less.As for Empress Changsun and the others, people from aristocratic families and merchants saw it even less, and they were even more shocked.

"Next, let's hold the completion ceremony of the Changchen Railway." Naturally, there were people arranged by Li Ke to preside over the completion ceremony.

Li Shimin and the others held a completion ceremony for the railway in accordance with the established order.

After the ceremony was over, the host said loudly again: "Then, His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty will speak for you!"

Immediately there was warm applause from all around. After all, these ordinary people rarely have the chance to see the emperor.

Li Shimin adjusted his clothes in a rare way, then walked to the front of the microphone, and said into the microphone: "Today, I will say two sentences. The first sentence is that you are the pillars of the Tang Dynasty. I believe that the Tang Dynasty has you!" Proud of such people! Second, next, please invite King Qin of the Tang Dynasty, the designer of this railway, and the inventor of the train, to speak for you and tell us about the significance of this railway!"

After speaking, Li Shimin backed away with a smile.

Everyone: "..."

Li Ke was also stunned, no, Dad, did you really just say a few words?

But the people below didn't care so much, they didn't have so much fancy, and they didn't understand anything. When they heard His Majesty let Li Ke speak, there was even more enthusiastic applause and cheers in an instant.
