Datang: My apprentice is Princess Changle

Chapter 193 Five-Year Development Plan
Chapter 193 Five-Year Development Plan
Princess Changle is not stupid, she understood after a little thought.

She thought a little regretfully that before she left, she might not be able to see the completed pier.

After all, it takes time to build the pier. She has been in Youzhou for a few days, and she should return in ten days at the most.

Thinking of this, Princess Changle felt very sad.

It's not because I don't want to miss Youzhou, nor because I don't want to miss the wharf where I can't even see the shadow.

The person she was really reluctant to part with was Qin Yang.

But she was able to comfort herself.

When Qin Yang left Chang'an, she was not the only one who saw him off.

The eldest lady of the Li family, Lord Chai, Princess Gaoyang, and other women all came to see them off one after another.

There may be people who join in the fun, but she is not the only one who is sincerely reluctant to part with Qin Yang.

But only she is Qin Yang's fiancée, who can see him off in Chang'an in an open and aboveboard manner.

Now I can come to Youzhou to see him again.

From this point of view, she is already much happier than others.

Also much luckier.

She didn't want to think about whether Qin Yang's attitude towards her was the reason why she was a princess.

Even if that were the case, her parentage was part of who she was.

Whether it's appearance, origin, personality, or anything else.

As long as Qin Yang can like her, Princess Changle will be satisfied.

Thinking of this, Princess Changle said with a smile: "If I have a chance in the future, I would like to see what the pier has become."

Qin Yang looked at her deeply, and said seriously: "When you get married back, you will be able to witness not only the changes in the pier, but the whole Youzhou with your own eyes."

Princess Changle was slightly stunned when she heard what could be called an explicit confession.

Her eyelashes blinked, and the long eyelashes were like beautiful butterfly wings.

"Well, I'm waiting for that day." After a moment of silence, Princess Changle replied.

The two looked at each other for a moment, then looked away.

The atmosphere in the carriage suddenly became ambiguous, as if pink bubbles were floating.

"Go back, didn't I promise to make you ice cream?"

After saying those words, Qin Yang's face also felt slightly hot.

After a moment of silence, he turned the topic elsewhere.

Princess Changle was only a little shy at first, but Qin Yang, a big man, became shy, and she was even more embarrassed.

It's like two students falling in love. It was quite natural to get along with each other at first, but suddenly they became a little awkward when they got in touch.

When he returned to Youzhou Palace, Qin Yang took Princess Changle to make ice cream together.

There was a lot of ice hidden last winter.

These ices are all edible.

Unlike ice made from saltpeter, it can only be used to cool things, not to be eaten directly.

Ice cubes are mashed and various jams are added.

It is said to be ice cream, but it is actually jam smoothie.

Qin Yang and Princess Changle each filled a small bowl. Hanhan, who was called out by Qin Yang, also held a bowl, and the three of them ate slowly.

The weather is starting to turn hot, and eating a bowl of smoothies at this time is indeed an extreme enjoyment.

However, Hou Hou clearly felt that the atmosphere between the two was a bit different.

She looked at Qin Yang, then at Princess Changle, and couldn't help but snicker.

Qin Yang glared at her, meaning, don't laugh so obviously when you snicker.

Princess Changle lowered her head and slowly ate the smoothie, she felt a little embarrassed to raise her head for a while.

When Princess Changle returned to her courtyard, Houhou couldn't help laughing at Qin Yang.

"Master, when did you become so shy?"

"Still when the servants don't know, the two of you..."

"Don't talk nonsense." Qin Yang glared at her again.

But in exchange for Hou Wan's cover-up smile.

That night, Qin Yang lay on the bed, thinking that in ten days at most, Princess Changle would return to the capital.

He couldn't help tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep.

When he lived in Chang'an in the past, he didn't realize that he was a little reluctant to part with Li Zhi.

After all, it will be ten days and a half months at most, and he can always see each other.

But now, things are a little different.

Throughout the year, if the other party can come once, it is already a head.

Even the other party may not be able to come again in the coming year.

After all, there are many things to prepare for a woman to prepare for marriage.

The other party is still young now, and it will be soon if he can marry in three years.

And three years may seem short, but it is not short.

"If only there were trains now."

Thinking of being in his own world, from Youzhou to Chang'an, it was really a very quick trip back and forth.

There is no need to worry about how much time is wasted on the road. You only need to worry about whether there are seats and beds on the road.

You can reach most places in the country with almost one night's sleep.

But in this era, to go to other counties, you have to go by boat and car, and you don't know how long it takes.

It is a long way from Youzhou to Chang'an.

"Three years... I hope that within three years, I can invent a means of transportation that can allow people to travel between Youzhou and Chang'an without worrying about the long distance."

"Unfortunately, even if I am given a choice now, when I have just arrived in Youzhou and the infrastructure has not been completed, I can't make it artificial if the train blueprint is given to me."

"In the final analysis, various hardware facilities have not kept up."

"So even if the means of transportation can be built, there is no way to directly build a railway from Youzhou to Chang'an."

Cars are the same.

Even if it is possible to get a car through the system, it is the bumpy road from Youzhou to Chang'an right now.

Driving a high-quality car from Youzhou to Chang'an, if the tires don't blow out hundreds of times, that's just fantasy.

If the infrastructure cannot keep up, talking about other things is all nonsense!

Thinking about this, Qin Yang felt annoyed.

"Instead of entangled with the land route, it is indeed better to dredge the water route first!"

On land, roads need to be built and maintained, and communication with local governments is required.

One can imagine how much trouble there is!
But if you go by water, you only need to prepare a good enough boat, and you will have a lot of time left!
If only the steamship could be invented...

In the nineteenth century, foreign steamships had already appeared.

Qin Yang does not have the blueprint of the steamship, but he feels that the system has always been more focused on the development of various economic and hardware facilities.

After the wharf is built, the system is likely to give him the option of improving the ship within a year.

As long as there is, he must choose!
This guess made Qin Yang excited.

As a result of the excitement, I stayed up half the night and got up late the next day.

Fortunately, apart from researching and developing new things, or encountering major events that require decision-making, Zhang Yunji is in charge of various affairs at other times.

So even if Qin Yang got up late, no one urged him.

After washing up as usual, Qin Yang went into the study and secretly listed a "five-year development plan" about Youzhou.

This plan lists the goals that Youzhou must achieve at least every year within five years.

Each year, more specifically to each month.

After Qin Yang finished writing, he copied another copy, and planned to go back to see Zhang Yunji and show Zhang Yunji this copy as well.
