Flower seller?

Emperor Hongzhi thought to himself.

A flower seller actually hangs on the stop sign.

Emperor Hongzhi couldn't help but stop and said, "Fang Qing's family."

Fang Jifan happily looked at the grand occasion of the terminus, as well as the smiles of Emperor Hongzhi and the Empress Dowager, his mood was brighter than a sunflower in full bloom.

very perfect!

Hearing Emperor Hongzhi calling him, he stepped forward with a smile and hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, my son is here."

Emperor Hongzhi said: "What is Baihualou?"

Fang Jifan: "..."

this problem……

He didn't know whether Emperor Hongzhi was pretending to be stupid or pretending to be stupid?

Baihualou... as the name suggests, isn't it just... a flower seller?

Fang Jifan hesitated, and said: "This... this... Your Majesty, this Baihualou is a good place, especially their owner, who is honest and honest. After getting a good reputation, my son was thinking, such a good person should be taken as a role model, so...so..."

The focus of Emperor Hongzhi's heart was obviously not on this, but on...

He snapped, "How much money did you charge him?"

Fang Jifan was ashamed, and hurriedly said: "Not much, seven thousand taels of silver...a year!"

Fang Jifan felt very emboldened.

It is indeed wrong to do so.

How can you collect money to name it? It's too wicked. I, Fang Jifan, are people who advertise for others?

Of course... everything is for the construction of the railway, and the construction of the road is for the people. However, it is too expensive to repair the railway. In the future, it may not be able to quickly recover the cost simply by selling train tickets, so... it is still excusable.

Emperor Hongzhi said indifferently: "Seven thousand taels a year, will I sell you? Fifteen thousand taels, next year, this is what I said. Without this amount, I don't even care about it!"

It was rare for Fang Jifan to keep up with Emperor Hongzhi's brain circuit. He was taken aback for a moment, and then his body was shocked, and he said quickly: "Your Majesty is really a saint. My son and you thought of going together. The seven thousand taels are for you." The price of the first person to eat crabs, after this number, he still wants to hang his name on the stop sign, does he think he is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince? He can't be beaten to death!"

Emperor Hongzhi: "..."

At this time, at the locomotive, Zhu Houzhao jumped out of the car excitedly, and said happily: "How, how, everything is going well, Lao Fang, can this speed guarantee the rise of housing prices in the old city? I owe a whole lot of debt, just pointing at the old city."

However, Emperor Hongzhi was showing a gratified smile, but in the blink of an eye, the smile was pulled down.

Fang Jifan trembled in his heart, His Highness is too upright.

Fang Jifan immediately said: "Your Highness, what nonsense are you talking about? Steam trains are built for the sake of the common people. What kind of old city is that? Nonsense. Your Highness has forgotten the original intention of building a life for the common people when building the car?"

Zhu Houzhao blinked, as if he understood something, and immediately said: "Yes, yes, yes, it's all for Jiangshan Sheji... I have seen Your Majesty."

Only then did Emperor Hongzhi's expression soften a little. He looked around, and many ministers and eunuchs gradually began to surround him.

Liu Jian and the others still had shock written all over their faces. He quickly stepped forward and said, "His Royal Highness, I dare to ask... How much coal does this car consume for a trip?"

Zhu Houzhao said straightforwardly: "Not much, just a few thousand catties."

Liu Jian said again: "How many people can you transport at most?"

"Thousands of people should be fine," Zhu Houzhao said.

Liu Jian's eyes suddenly brightened, this is more real than shipping.

Of course, the cost of construction is higher than the cost of shipping, but shipping is not available everywhere in this world.

The benefits of the Grand Canal are obvious, but for thousands of years, there has only been one Grand Canal.

Not to mention, the railway is faster and more punctual than the river transport. Of course, this is just the feeling of riding once.

Because of the canal, the Ming Dynasty was able to establish its capital in Beijing, and the taxes from the south of the Yangtze River could be continuously sent to the capital through the canal, and then passed on to every border town through the capital to protect the safety of the entire northern land.

And this railway...

What if you can connect not only north and south, but also east and west?

Liu Jian couldn't help asking: "His Royal Highness, did you make this?"

Zhu Houzhao nodded and patted himself on the chest: "It was made by me. If you don't believe me, come and see for yourself."

look at what?

Zhu Houzhao held his breath now.

Whether it is a human or a ghost, they all come to ask if they made it by themselves!

Usually, when I was building a car, you ignored it, but now it’s done, and it’s been built, but why are there so many problems.

Zhu Houzhao said conveniently, "All come with me."

This steam locomotive research institute is near the terminus, which is convenient for research.

After a while, Zhu Houzhao led the mighty people to the big work shed beside the terminus.

In the work shed, apart from two huge steam locomotives being assembled, there were also small public houses separated one by one. Zhu Houzhao was the first to arrive at a public house.

As soon as the door opened, Emperor Hongzhi and Liu Jian were at a loss. They didn't know what Zhu Houzhao wanted to show, but when Emperor Hongzhi walked in, he was shocked.

here it is

There are bookshelves one by one, and on each bookshelf are thick blueprints. Countless blueprints are piled up together, and they actually fill up the entire room.

Emperor Hongzhi stopped at a bookshelf, and he took out a drawing. The text on it was exactly the same as Zhu Houzhao's handwriting. Yes, the length and width of the components are marked with numbers, and the counting method used may not be clear to Emperor Hongzhi, but it is clear at a glance.

Even the angles of each place are marked with special symbols.

At the bottom of the blueprint, there are dense and crooked scrawled characters, explaining the purpose of this component, the standard of forging, and many other things...

And such blueprints filled the entire room.

Emperor Hongzhi was shocked.

He used to have to review the memorials by himself, which are inexhaustible, but now he has to admit that compared with Zhu Houzhao, he is nothing.

It seems that the car that should have been built by an immortal was finally made by Zhu Houzhao, and it is not without reason.

Emperor Hongzhi felt emotional in his heart, feeling that his father was not as good as his son.

Of course, he has never seen the various maps and battle plans that Zhu Houzhao stored in the East Palace. If he had seen them with his own eyes, he would not think that Zhu Houzhao, a naughty prince who has always been a naughty prince, was able to find him for the first time in battle. The weakness of the Tartars, and the ease with which they were brought down.

In this world, nothing is preordained. Apart from ingenuity, it depends on 120,000 percent hard work.

See Emperor Hongzhi facing the bookshelf, motionless.

Liu Jian stepped forward, and saw that His Majesty's eyes were slightly red, and he stood still.

Liu Jian subconsciously also took out a blueprint, which was a blueprint about forging. It recorded more than a dozen times of forging certain components, all of which failed.

In order to smelt the required iron and steel, Zhu Houzhao led many craftsmen and made countless attempts, including how much the heat was, what was added to the pig iron, how many blast bladders were needed, and even every step was recorded in detail. .

After dozens of smelting failures, they finally found a way.

Liu Jian frowned. This is what His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has been doing for the past two or three years.

Liu Jian knows nothing about workmanship.

However, among the ancient books, there are many so-called skilled craftsmen, and these skilled craftsmen have ingenious skills. Liu Jian has always classified these as so-called secret techniques, or so-called inheritance, or some kind of experience, and regards them as something mysterious and mysterious.

But now, he understands everything, the so-called ingenuity, experience is not enough.

Most of the craftsmen in the past are illiterate. With so-called experience, simple machines can be manufactured, but if there is no unified method, repeated trials, and repeated experiments, it is just a joke.

Liu Jian took a deep breath and glanced at Emperor Hongzhi.

Emperor Hongzhi held the blueprint in his hand and remained silent.

Liu Jian then sighed and said: "His Royal Highness took great pains to build this chariot, which benefits the country and the people. The old minister... I am very impressed and ashamed. Your Majesty, this chariot is even more shocking than Zhuge Kongming's wooden ox and horse. I am deeply loved by Your Majesty. Ranked at the center and grasping the secrets, His Majesty Xie has been governing the world for these years. He has always felt that there are many major disadvantages in today's world. One of the disadvantages is the transfer and transmission of materials and the loss during the period. It is really difficult to solve this problem. Now, His Royal Highness, the old minister, has seen a brand-new method to solve the huge waste and loss of thousands of years with one cart. This alone is enough to shine forever. .His Royal Highness spends all his sleep and food in this small room. His Highness is talented and intelligent, and his hard work is so deep that I admire him."

He said, bye.

Emperor Hongzhi heaved a sigh of relief, and said, "Be flat."

Liu Jian got up, but looked at Zhu Houzhao again, and said solemnly: "Your Highness, the old minister has been in office for four years since Tianshun. For decades, he has been conscientious and conscientious. In his heart, he may not be complacent, but today I have seen His Highness the Crown Prince's hard work and quick thinking, but he is amazed. I am really ashamed. In the past two or three years, His Highness the Crown Prince has always stayed behind closed doors. , the crime of ten thousand deaths, please forgive me."

The reason why Liu Jian was able to become the chief assistant of the cabinet naturally has his ability.

His vision is still good, after all, he has governed the world, and he knows the great benefits of trains to the whole world.

In addition, he admits his mistakes without ambiguity. This is also the difference between him and other so-called Qingliu.
