Chapter 156 A New Era Has Arrived

The matter of Wusizang is an ongoing event, and the people who operate it are Han Lingshan and Sun Guoxin.

These two people were people that Yun Zhao trusted very much, and he thought that these two people should have a plan for the further development of things, so he refused to interfere with their plans rudely.

The plan formulated by these two people is definitely beneficial to Da Ming, and Yun Zhao is convinced of this.

Mo said that Ngawang Living Buddha wrote a step of the "Lengyan Sutra" by piercing his blood, even if he copied the entire "Tripitaka Sutra" with blood, Yun Zhao would not abandon his two loyal subordinates and turn his head to believe in a strange lama.

As for the vendetta that was happening on the Wusizang Plateau, if Yun Zhao didn't want to hear it, he could not listen to it at all, and only needed to order Zhang Xiu not to take any documents about Wusizang and block them directly.

To be honest, the affairs in Daming's country are still complicated, and Yun Zhao shouldn't focus more on the small things that are happening in a distant place.

After meeting with the six exemplary figures, Yun Zhao left Yushan City by train and went straight to Phoenix Mountain City.

On the fifth day of the first month of March, Xia Wanchun had already completed the construction of this railway.

The eighty-mile road was completed in half an hour, and Yun Zhao was extremely disappointed with this highly praised railway.

Because of this speed, the war horse can also reach it, and the sturdy war horse is even faster than the train.

The only advantage is that there are many goods pulled, just like now, you can pull a thousand people from Yushan City to Phoenix Mountain City in half an hour.

In Zhang Guozhu's opinion, this is already very remarkable, after all, there is no way to let the old and weak women and children who take the train also run so fast on horseback.

It may be because the speed slowed down because the uphill road from Phoenix Mountain City on Yushan Road to Chang'an took only half an hour.

"It's okay, this distance, and this time, it's good."

Zhang Guozhu saw that Yun Zhao didn't seem to be very satisfied, so he said a sentence without a beginning or an end.

The capital cannot but garrison heavy troops, but heavy troops cannot be too far away from the capital, Zhang Guozhu believes that the distance of 80 miles is just right, and the distance of 150 miles is also just right.

Yushan City is very important, once there is an alarm, after the wolf smoke is lit, the soldiers and horses of Phoenix Mountain City can rush to Yushan City within an hour.

And if there is a warning signal in Chang'an City, the soldiers and horses of Phoenix Mountain City can also arrive within two hours, and it can't be considered too late in any case.

"Actually, the best time to stick incense."

Yun Zhao involuntarily nagged out.

Zhang Guozhu glanced at Yun Zhao expressionlessly, then turned his head to look at the scenery speeding by on both sides of the railway, many times, Yun Zhao always likes to use such nonsensical words to show off his achievements.

Only Yun Zhao himself knows that running thirty kilometers in fifteen minutes is really not too exaggerated.

The train hummed, gasped and stopped at the platform in Lantian County, Yun Zhao looked at the train station full of classical style, and he didn't even have the interest to go down and take a look.

As soon as the floodgates opened, the crowd rushed towards the train like wild horses on the loose, causing Yun Zhao to have a very bad memory.

Fortunately, those people in the train car he was in couldn't get in, otherwise, Yun Zhao would think that he was a sardine!

"Can you get your money back?"

Yun Zhao glanced at his disciple Dao.

Xia Wanchun hurriedly said: "Two years and three months, if the latest locomotive can be used at the end of the year, this time will be shortened." ”

Yun Zhao frowned and said, "Is it so profitable?" Let me tell you, the biggest role of the train is transportation, not to make money, if the cost is too high, for the country, the gain outweighs the loss. ”

Xia Wanchun said: "Back to Your Majesty, the cost of taking the train is the same as the cost of taking a carriage to and from the two places. ”

After Yun Zhao asked Zhang Xiu about the cost of hiring a carriage, he nodded, saying that Xia Wanchun set the fare quite reasonable.

"The key place to make money is freight, Lantian County has too many goods that need to be transported to Chang'an, Yushan, and Yushan also has too many goods that need to be transported to Phoenix Mountain City, so the speed of making money is very fast."

"I make too much money, and there is still room for freight and ticket prices to fall, and it is already a huge profit to recover the cost in five years."

Yun Zhao glanced at the paperwork sent by Xia Wanchun, and then quickly made a decision. “

"Back to Your Majesty, this data has been calculated, and if the price drops again, the carriage shops that specialize in these three places will be closed."

Yun Zhao threw the paperwork back to Xia Wanchun and said, "Confused! ”

After reprimanding Xia Wanchun, Yun Zhao didn't say why he had to let the coachman have nothing to eat, which was completely different from his usual behavior.

Zhang Guozhu looked at Yun Zhao and saw that his face was serious, so he waved his hand and let Xia Wanchun leave, and he asked in a low voice, "Why?" ”

Yun Zhao looked at the trees speeding by outside the window and said lightly: "The carriage shop has eaten too easily in these years, and only by giving them enough pressure can they do better."

If they can't survive under this pressure, they deserve to disappear, and only when these old trades disappear will new trades be born.

I hate a city that has not changed for a long time, and the city that keeps forging ahead and continues to develop is the city I want, so that we can keep progressing, changing, and repairing ourselves. ”

This sentence is not a whim of Yun Zhao, but after coming to Daming, he found that the cities here are running unchanged for eternity, and the Chang'an City a hundred years ago has almost no change from the Chang'an City a hundred years later.

Every city has chosen the way it suits its own life, and nothing has changed.

I don't want any change, I'm very stubborn, and I'm not willing to change.

A business in the city has not changed since his grandfather handed it over to his grandfather, and it has not changed since his grandfather handed it over to his father, and now Yun Zhao doesn't want his father to hand over the business to his son, so he still uses the oldest way to do business......

In the past, Yun Zhao must have thought that this was a kind of attachment and a kind of beauty...... Unfortunately, the industrial revolution in Europe is about to begin, and the world will change at an unprecedented speed.

Yun Zhao clearly knew that his existence was actually a kind of cheating, even if he was the emperor, there was a huge threat of human death.

Rather than letting the people of the Ming Dynasty change after being beaten in the future, it is better to force them to get used to this world that will change rapidly from now on.

Doing so in other places is likely to cause tragedy, but in the circle of Lantian, Yushan, Chang'an, and Phoenix Mountain City, doing so will not cause much turmoil.

The worst-case scenario is the bankruptcy of the chariot shopkeeper.

The coachmen are no longer driving the carts, they can easily find other work, and they will not starve to death.

Zhang Guozhu said puzzledly: "According to the news from the man in black from Europe, my Ming Dynasty is already the peak of the world, why is Your Majesty so worried?" ”

"The top of the world? Do you know what kind of country is the top of the world? ”

Yun Zhao said unceremoniously to Zhang Guozhu in a mocking tone.

"Please!"

Zhang Guozhu did not flinch, since the emperor had already drawn the line, he would definitely ask clearly.

"I speak softly, the whole world must prick up its ears and listen quietly, I give an order, the whole world will not dare to disobey! This is the pinnacle of the world! ”

Seeing that the train slowly stopped at Chang'an City Station, Yun Zhao got up and got off the train after saying a word, and easily blended into the crowd under the cover of the guards.

Zhang Guozhu didn't get off the train, he still had to go back to Yushan City, so it wasn't until the train hummed and started again that he said lightly: "Don't you just want to be the Supreme?" It shouldn't be too difficult. ”

Yun Zhao couldn't hear Zhang Guozhu's confident words, standing in the bustling crowd, looking at the train passengers carrying boxes and burdens, he felt like he had entered an old movie.

Only he is the protagonist, and the rest are just the foil of this scene.

A pot-bellied merchant hurried past him with a blanket on his back......

A man dressed in green clothes walked past him with a cowhide briefcase in his arms......

A young man in a green shirt with a ponytail tied to the back of his head walked lightly behind him......

A woman in a bright red dress walked past him, accompanied by a little maid, with a wrapped lute in her arms...... looks average, but the way he walks is quite a bit of a willow, and he gave Yun Zhao a mysterious smile.

A servant with a baton in his hand lazily leaned against a wooden pillar, and beside him, there was another with his hands chained by thin iron chains, and a huge wooden sign hanging around his neck, which read—This man is a thief!

"Woo woo woo ......"

The train whistled and started slowly, Yun Zhao looked back and found that Zhang Guozhu did not get off the train, and he didn't even mean to wave goodbye to him.

"It doesn't matter, this city is also Lao Tzu."

The sound of the whistle dragged Yun Zhao back from the dreamlike world, whispered to himself, and casually jumped into a carriage that was waiting for him, and the guards closed the door, and the carriage drove quickly towards Xi'an City.

The scene he had just experienced was still playing frame by frame in Yun Zhao's mind.

This is not the Da Ming that Yun Zhao knows, he knows that Da Ming is still moaning and wailing under the iron hooves of the Jianzhou people at the moment, he knows that Da Ming is trying to make the last struggle, it shouldn't be so quiet and peaceful.

However, what is this not Daming?

This is the Ming created by Lao Tzu!

Yun Zhao laughed inexplicably, the laughter echoed in the carriage, circling, and finally immersed Yun Zhao's whole body in this hearty laughter, making Yun Zhao's whole body feel happy!
