Liu Mingqi¡¯s biggest emotion when she arrived in this world was the inconvenience of transportation and communication.
The transportation is not convenient, which makes the connections between various places not so close.
¡°If there is a high-speed rail network in later generations, and we can reach Shanghai from Chengdu and Shenzhen from Beijing in one day, then nothing can really divide this country.
The inconvenience of communication makes it difficult for everyone to communicate, and many things cannot be summarized at the first time.
All kinds of information cannot be effectively transmitted.
This is why the rich in ancient times, even before the popularization of the Internet, had strong local characteristics; but after the popularization of the Internet, the rich are all facing the country, and those who rely on local business basically have nothing to do. .
????????????? But my Lao Ganma is an exception, she is a man of God.
Of course, this is the only one from beginning to end, and her two sons have already begun to lose their fortune. It is estimated that in ten or twenty years, Lao Ganma will either fall into decline or be acquired by capital, and her legend will no longer exist.
Come back to the front.
Ge Songdao is now on his way to Yibin.
Because the Minjiang River surged, even if Dujiangyan released water and washed away Ziyang downstream, more water would still flow to Yibin and merge with the Jinsha River.
As the flood discharge area of ??Chengdu, Ziyang has a relatively hard life, but fortunately, it is next to the Tuojiang River, and the water flow directly flows back into the Tuojiang River, so it will not suffer for long.
¡°Besides, they had harvested the rice in advance, so even if it were delayed for a few more days and dried again later, the loss would not be too great.
Because the water levels along these routes have skyrocketed, Gesong Road cannot be taken by water, but can only be taken by the official road.
The official road at this time cannot go very fast, and it may not be possible to reach Yibin in two or three days.
But in the middle of the journey, flying pigeons from all over the place would keep flying over to deliver messages. It was impossible for him to receive them on the way, right?
Fortunately, after decades of practice, officials already have a set of standards.
At this time, letters sent by flying pigeons are usually sent to Chengdu.
After the officials in Chengdu gathered together, they estimated where the governor should be today at night and which town to send the pigeons to.
If the carrier pigeon arrives but Gesongdao does not arrive, you can still wait for a day and a half.
If Gesongdao has already left when the carrier pigeon arrives, the officials from this place will have to send it to the next town immediately.
Tell me, is it troublesome for flying pigeons like this to pass messages?
When Chen Xinggui talked about this method, Liu Mingqi began to think about whether to start serious telegraph communication in a few years?
I can do it in the Qing Dynasty. There is no reason why in Dakang, with a future Zongzheng like me and such loose conditions, it still can¡¯t do it, right?
In fact, making a telegram is too easy for Liu Mingqi.
There is a special subject in physics about modern electrostatic telegraphy and radio telegraphy.
When Liu Mingqi grew up, telegraphs had almost become history and did not play any specific and important functions. Therefore, in order to practice this subject, he and his classmates built a one-kilometer-long telegraph line in the back of the school. lines to achieve electrostatic telegraph communication.
??Actually, this is enough.
There is no difference in principle and function between long distance and short distance.
As long as this telegraph line is expanded, a telegraph network connecting the whole country will be formed.
Even if there are some places where the terrain is too dangerous to reach, with telegraph communication in most places, the power of timely feedback and contact is far beyond what can be achieved by carriage, horse, and boat.
But this requires spending a lot of money, manpower and material resources.
It is impossible for the imperial court to pay this amount.
The Qing Dynasty built telegraph lines all over the country. It was also not paid for by the court, but by wealthy businessmen.
Li Hongzhang said in his memorial, "In the past five years, our country has built more than 10,000 miles of electric wires in the provinces along the rivers and coastal areas. The state has not spent much, and huge sums of money have come from the private sector."
???Naturally, the purpose of doing business among the people is, but from another aspect, it also contributes to various mobilizations of the court.
For example, the battle between us and the Gallic Rooster at Zhennanguan was in many ways thanks to the telegraph's mobilization of various supplies and the deployment of various armies.
It is also what Li Hongzhang said in his memorial: "At that time, the legal person was provoking, the general reported the military situation, and the imperial court conveyed instructions, all of which were carried out in camera.People displaced by the floods, young and old, all cry out for having no food, no clothes, and no place to live, not to mention the critical situation of the people in other villages.
I sincerely request you to send garrison troops to help rescue the people as soon as possible, and to transport food, briquettes and other materials as soon as possible. This is a great blessing for the people of Chongqing! You will definitely be grateful to me for saving thousands of people from disaster! "
Zhang Zizhe¡¯s character is a bit like Ge Songdao, and he is also a Legalist student.
He is always talking in this tone, which shows how bad the situation in Chongqing is.
Ge Songdao probably knew about this situation, so he hurriedly went to Yibin to take charge. He probably wanted to rely on Yibin's manpower and materials to relieve Chongqing's difficulties!
¡¡
Amidst all the bad news, there is also good news.
For example, the document from He Fei, the prefect of Yibin, arrived at the Governor's Mansion this morning. It said in a joyful tone: "The water level has dropped at Chou hour this morning. By Chen hour, the highest water level has dropped by more than one foot, which is lower than yesterday's water level. It will drop even more! If it doesn¡¯t continue to rain, the water level in Yibin will return to normal within ten days!¡±
The terrain of Yibin is relatively high, so it is naturally easier to escape from floods.
From a certain perspective, Chongqing is also a mountainous area, and the terrain is also relatively high.
If it takes Yibin ten days to get through the peak of the flood and completely restore calm, then it will probably take about twenty days for Chongqing.
But what about the Hubei and Hunan regions downstream of them?
When Liu Mingqi thought of this, he shook his head and smiled bitterly.
These two provinces are really at odds with each other! !
