[End of the God Station] Remind book friends to keep in mind: Website URL: www.xinwanben.com Remember in a second, never lose it!

Emperor Hongzhi looked incredible.

Countless ores turned into pig iron, and the pig iron turned into individual components. When they were spliced ​​together, they finally became a huge steel monster that could carry a hundred thousand catties and move without a horse.

There is no such thing in any ancient book.

Even if it is a wooden cow and horse with a bit of fantasy, it is not worth mentioning in front of this.

This is supposed to be something made by an immortal in the sky, but it was actually... created by the prince?

Fang Jifan knew the flavor of Emperor Hongzhi's words. Although Zhu Houzhao was a jerk sometimes, but with the relationship between each other, he should help Zhu Houzhao to say something good, and he should be accumulating virtue.

So Fang Jifan said: "Your Majesty, do you still remember that two or three years ago, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince once told His Majesty that he wanted to build a moving car?"

Emperor Hongzhi: "..."

Fang Jifan said: "Your Majesty, do you still remember that these days, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has lived in seclusion and spent almost every day in the steam locomotive research institute? Does Your Majesty think that His Highness the Crown Prince is searching for the papers in the journals? Is it really because of the special status of His Royal Highness that it was published? Your Majesty, in fact, more than a dozen papers of His Royal Highness have been published in journals, and precisely, the number of his papers discussed and cited is more than that of the theory of fine insects. And much more."

"The talent of His Majesty the Crown Prince is really rare in the world. My son thinks that he is a genius who can only be born once every five hundred years. His Majesty and all the officials recognize that in this world, only the king and the official Only by relying on the art of the emperor and the art of herdsmen can the world be governed for a long time. However, as everyone knows, this governing the world does not necessarily rely on just one Analects. There are so many knowledges in the world. It is rare to be able to become a talent if you are an elite, and the knowledge that His Highness the Crown Prince has in his stomach, few people in the world have it. But in His Majesty's heart, the knowledge recognized by everyone is known, so dare to ask His Majesty, it is a group of people. People who know how to govern the world are more precious, or people like His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?"

"In His Majesty's heart, he thought that only those who had studied the Four Books and Five Classics were talented people. He used this to think that His Highness the Crown Prince did not study poetry and books, so he was not doing his job properly and was extremely stubborn. But he did not know that His Highness the Crown Prince was also studying, What he has learned is precisely what can benefit countless common people. As far as this car is concerned, once this car comes out, the world will change in a different way. Since then, Ming's internal affairs, diplomacy, All wars will be changed, which is many times stronger than the scholar-bureaucrats of all dynasties."

"Your Majesty, even if you think about it, you won't know how much blood and sweat His Royal Highness has spent sleeping and forgetting to learn this brand-new knowledge. Your Majesty, this is the hard work of His Royal Highness. I may not be able to rely on a few of the foundation of the Great Ming Dynasty. The sage king who turned the tide, my son dares to say that the achievements of thousands of generations are based on this car, the crown prince... is really a genius through the ages."

These words... are indeed very reasonable, and Emperor Hongzhi was moved.

Instead of speaking, he frowned.

Fang Jifan's words, once this car comes out, it is enough to overturn the existing internal affairs, diplomacy, and war...

After all, Emperor Hongzhi had governed the country for many years and worked conscientiously. At this time, he thought to himself, what Fang Jifan said just now, if there is a railway to Liaodong, then the distance between Daming and Liaodong will be shortened. How short is it? The Imperial Army of the Ming Dynasty can rush to the aid of Liaodong at any time, and it will arrive at night, so can the Ming Dynasty deploy the best soldiers from all over the world to help in any direction at any time?

When Emperor Wen conquered Annan, it took nearly a year to mobilize before the war. In this way, hundreds of thousands of troops marched into Annan with a steady stream of food and grass supplies.

But if there is a railway, the journey will take a month? Half a month?

Internal affairs... and internal affairs, I have only heard that the emperor is far away from Shangao, a county called Wannian is thousands of miles away from the emperor, and the imperial court hardly even pays any attention to this county, it only exists in Daming In the books, what did the county magistrate do there, and whether the people lived and worked in peace and contentment, only God knows. A memorial from there was sent to the capital, the capital made a decision, and then sent someone to send it. Half a month or even a month of work has passed. If it is an ordinary trivial matter, it will be fine. Once encountered The imperial court couldn't deal with such a big event immediately.

But... this railway...

With the railway, what is the difference between Wannian County, which is thousands of miles away, and the foot of the emperor?

All the prefectures and counties in the world will become suburban counties of Gyeonggi.

This may be a bit exaggerated, but... the future, it might not be the case.

Emperor Hongzhi's face was changing: "Your prince built this car just to make a profit by renovating the old city?"

This sentence is a bit embarrassing.

Fang Jifan was about to cry. He looked at Emperor Hongzhi with grievances, and wailed, "Your Majesty, why do you look down on people like this? My son and the crown prince are thinking of the people of the world. The original intention of my son and the prince's report is that In order to strengthen the border defenses of the Ming Dynasty and make it easier for the soldiers and civilians of the Ming Dynasty to travel. How could I have thought that I could earn money. Your ministers and His Royal Highness, selling houses... How hard it is, Your Majesty, do you know? The wind comes, the rain goes, and the severe cold It’s not easy to earn tens of millions of taels of hard-earned money in the scorching heat..."

Emperor Hongzhi looked at Fang Jifan with a hint of mockery in his eyes, and said sharply, "Tens of millions?"

"No, no." Fang Jifan didn't dare to deceive the king, and buried his head and said: "Even if

It’s better if it’s hundreds of millions, but it’s still for..."

Emperor Hongzhi didn't have the patience to continue arguing with him, so he waved his hands and said, "Okay, I don't want to hear your nonsense, but this matter..." Emperor Hongzhi narrowed his eyes and said, "No matter what your intentions are, you can't talk to outsiders. You need to talk about how this railway is beneficial to the national economy and people's livelihood. Once the railway comes out, there will be an uproar in the world. Don't always talk about your old city. You must remember one thing. Your original intention was for the imperial court and for the foundation of the ancestors. .”

Fang Jifan immediately said: "I understand, I have written it down."

But at this moment, the steam train began to slow down slowly.

Emperor Hongzhi saw that the new city had arrived.

He couldn't hide his joy on his face, but he tried hard to calm down.

Zhen... actually gave birth to a good son, except that this guy is always bold, everything seems to be fine.

Emperor Hongzhi felt very relieved, and he was in a good mood all of a sudden.

He was in the midst of this steel monster, but he knew how difficult it was to build this steel monster.

…………

In compartment number two.

Xiao Jing screamed in fright at first, but then he gradually realized that it seemed... not so good, it was very safe, being wrapped in this steel made people feel at ease.

Liu Jian, Li Dongyang and the others fell into deep thought. As people in the center of power, they naturally thought farther away. He didn't have the heart to calculate how many people were sitting in this car, but... such a huge monster, It can actually walk, and now... it can transport people, so what about other things? For example, the grain in the warehouse, such as...

None of Liu Jian, Li Dongyang, and Xie Qian spoke.

It's just that those Hanlin who are waiting for an imperial edict are whispering in the back seat.

The school attendant Yan Xi whispered to a few Hanlins: "Look, just for the mere forty miles of the road, it's an ingenious skill. Not to mention anything else, how much money was spent on this railroad track? It’s all the hard-earned money of the common people... What’s the use of this thing in the world?”

Some Hanlin nodded, some thoughtfully.

To be honest, when you look at this thing, you know that the cost is not low, just for such a big toy of His Royal Highness, how much money does it cost. With this silver, distribute it to the people, and the life of the people will be so good.

Standing aside, Wang Bushi felt the railway carefully, and even silently calculated the time from the old city to the new city. Hanlin said, "Xueshi Wang, what do you think?"

Wang Bushi glanced back at Yan Xi and the others. He felt that he and Yan Xi were extremely strange, as if they were people from two worlds, and the summer insects were indescribable.

"Oh..." Wang Bushi just said indifferently: "Actually... these money, if you think about it... His Royal Highness, he will find a way to raise it."

"Look, it will cost tens of millions of taels of silver. Where can I raise it?" Yan Xi felt that it was unreasonable for Wang Bushi to be unreasonable. receive. Others read the Four Books and Five Classics, but he talks about the Wealth of Nations everywhere, so he doesn't fit in well.

His Majesty is really blind, to have taken a fancy to such a person, and entrusted him with a heavy responsibility.

Yan Xi felt emotional in his heart, and even felt a little aggrieved. His qualifications were much higher than Wang Bushi's, but in the end, he became Wang Bushi's subordinate.

Wang Bushi smiled and said: "Soon, Yan Shixue will know. If you think about it, there will always be foolish people to give money to His Highness."

"Ha..." Yan Xile was delighted, stealing money from someone is like killing one's parents, it's really stupid for the king not to be an official.

Yan Xi secretly exchanged glances with the other members of the Imperial Academy, and everyone seemed to be ridiculed, so they ignored the king's failure to be an official, and hid aside, expressing their own lofty opinions.

The new city has arrived.

The train stopped, and immediately after, the train personnel outside opened the bolts, and people swarmed out of their respective compartments.

When I got out of the car, I suddenly felt like a world away.

Emperor Hongzhi got out of the car, and he personally supported the Empress Dowager, while Fang Jifan followed behind Emperor Hongzhi.

Emperor Hongzhi raised his eyes and glanced at the platform——"Baihualou—Xincheng Terminus"

this……

Baihualou... what is it?

…………

Chapter 3, continue, let's see how many changes can be made today, when the illness is cured, pay back the debt!
