Selling flowers?

Emperor Hongji thought to himself.

A flower seller actually hung it 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 this terminus, as well as the smiles of Emperor Hongzhi and the Empress Dowager, and his mood was brighter and better than the blooming sunflowers.

It was perfect!

Hearing Emperor Hongzhi call himself, he stepped forward with a smile and said busily: "Your Majesty, the son is here." ”

Emperor Hongzhi said: "What is Baihualou?" ”

Fang Jifan: "......"

This question......

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

Baihualou ...... As the name suggests, isn't it just ...... Selling flowers?

Fang Jifan hesitated and said, "This...... This one...... Your Majesty, this Baihualou is a good place, especially their owner, who is loyal and honest, does business, values righteousness over profit, and is not bullied, and has accumulated a good reputation...... So ......"

The focus of Emperor Hongzhi's heart is obviously not here, but ......

He snapped, "How much money did you take from him?" ”

Fang Jifan was embarrassed and said busily: "It's not much, seven thousand taels of silver...... One year! ”

Fang Jifan felt very unconfident.

It is indeed wrong to do so.

How can you accept money to name people, it's too lacking in morality, our successor is a person who advertises for people?

Of course...... Everything is for the sake of building railways, and building roads for the people. However, the railway is too expensive, and in the future, it may not be able to quickly recover the cost by selling tickets alone, so ...... It's still excusable.

Emperor Hongzhi said lightly: "Seven thousand and two years, I sold you?" Fifteen thousand taels, next year, this is what I said, without this number, don't pay attention to it! ”

Fang Jifan was a little unable to keep up with Emperor Hongzhi's brain circuit, he was stunned for a moment, and then his body was shocked, and he hurriedly said: "Your Majesty is really Shengming, Erchen and you want to go together, this seven thousand taels is the price for the first person to eat crabs, and in the future, he still wants to hang his name on the station sign, does he think he is His Royal Highness the Prince?" Can't kill him! ”

Emperor Hongji: "......"

At this time, at the locomotive, Zhu Houzhao had already jumped off the car in a hurry, and stepped forward and said: "How is it, how is it, everything is going well, Lao Fang, can this speed ensure that the housing prices in the old city will rise, I owe a lot of debt, so I point to the old city." ”

saw that Emperor Hongzhi was showing a pleased smile, but in a blink of an eye, this smile was pulled down.

Fang Jifan's heart trembled, His Highness was really too upright.

Fang Jifan immediately said: "Your Highness, what nonsense, the steam train was built for the common people, what old city, nonsense, Your Highness has forgotten the original intention of establishing a life for the common people when the car was built?"

Zhu Houzhao blinked, as if he understood something, and immediately said: "Yes, yes, yes, it's all for the sake of Jiangshan Sheji...... The retainers have seen His Majesty. ”

Emperor Hongzhi's face softened a little, and he looked left and right, and many ministers and eunuchs had gradually begun to surround him.

Liu Jian and the others were still full of shock, and he stepped forward quickly and said, "His Royal Highness the Prince, the old minister dares to ask...... How much coal does this car consume in one trip? ”

Zhu Houzhao said very happily: "It's not much, it's just thousands of catties." ”

Liu Jian said again: "How many people can be transported?" ”

"A thousand people should be fine." Zhu Houzhao said.

Liu Jian's eyes suddenly lit up, this is even more real than shipping.

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

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 much faster and more punctual than the river transport, and of course, this is just the feeling of riding once.

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

And this railroad ......

What if it could connect not only the north and the south, but also the east and west?

Liu Jian couldn't help but say, "Your Royal Highness the Prince, you made this?" ”

Zhu Houzhao nodded and patted his chest: "It's made by this palace, don't believe it, you can see it yourself." ”

See...... What to see?

Zhu Houzhao is holding his breath now.

No matter how human beings are ghosts, they all come to ask if they have created themselves!

Usually, when Hongu built a car, you ignored it, but now it's good, it's built, but where are there so many problems.

Zhu Houzhao said: "Come with me." ”

This steam locomotive research institute is located near the main station, which is convenient for research.

After a while, Zhu Houzhao led the mighty people to the big shed next to the main station.

In the shed, in addition to the two huge steam locomotives that are being assembled, there are also small public houses separated on the side, and Zhu Houzhao took the lead to a public house.

As soon as the door opened, Emperor Hongzhi and Liu Jian were confused, they didn't know what Zhu Houzhao wanted to show, but when Emperor Hongzhi paced in, he was shocked.

Over here...... It was a bookcase, and on each shelf, there were thick drawings, and countless drawings were piled up together, and they actually occupied the entire room.

Emperor Hongzhi stopped at a bookshelf, he took out a drawing, the annotated text on it, it is exactly the same as Zhu Houzhao's handwriting, this is a drawing of a component, drawn with charcoal, the shape of the component is drawn, and it is unprecedented, the length and width of the component are numerically marked, the counting method used, Emperor Hongzhi is a little incomprehensible, but it is clear at a glance.

Even the angles of each place have special symbols and are marked.

At the bottom of the drawing, there is a dense scrawl that explains the purpose of the component, the criteria for forging, and many other things......

And such drawings are piled up to fill an entire room.

Emperor Hongzhi looked shocked.

He used to have to review countless notes by himself, but now he has to admit that compared with Zhu Houzhao, he is a big deal.

It seems that the car that should have been built by immortals was finally made by Zhu Houzhao, not for no reason.

Emperor Hongzhi was emotional, and there was a feeling that Lao Tzu was not as good as his son.

Of course, he hadn't seen the various maps and battle plans stored by Zhu Houzhao in the East Palace, and if he had seen it with his own eyes, he wouldn't have thought that Zhu Houzhao, a prince who only knew how naughty all his life, could find the weaknesses of the Tatars in the first battle, and easily defeated them.

In this world, nothing is predestined, and in addition to wisdom, it depends on 120,000 points of hard work.

Seeing Emperor Hongzhi facing the bookshelf, he didn't move.

Liu Jian stepped forward, but saw that His Majesty's eyes were slightly red, and he was silent.

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

In order to smelt the required steel, Zhu Houzhao led many craftsmen and made countless attempts, and even the amount of heat, what was added to the pig iron, how big of the blower bag needed to be used, and even each step was recorded in detail.

And dozens of smelting failures, but in the end found a way.

Liu Jian frowned, this is His Royal Highness the Prince, what is Shenlong doing in the past two or three years?

Liu Jian doesn't know anything about work.

However, in 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 arts, or so-called inheritance, or, some kind of experience, and regarded them as some kind of mysterious and mysterious things.

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

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

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

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

Liu Jian sighed and said: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has taken great pains to build this car, which will benefit the country and the people, and the old minister...... Admired, ashamed, Your Majesty, this car is more shocking than Zhuge Kongming's wooden ox and flowing horse, the minister is loved by His Majesty, ranked in the center, master the secret, over the years, His Majesty has governed the world, has been emotional, today, there are several major drawbacks, one of which is the transfer and transmission of materials, as well as the loss during the period, and to solve this problem, it is really difficult to climb to the sky. And now, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has made the old minister, the rotten wood, see a new way to solve the huge waste and loss for thousands of years with one car, and this alone is enough to shine forever. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince forgot to sleep and eat, all of them are in this room, His Royal Highness is talented and intelligent, and his hard work is even more admirable. ”

He said, bow down.

Emperor Hongzhi sighed and said, "Calm down." ”

Liu Jian got up, but looked at Zhu Houzhao again, and said solemnly: "His Royal Highness the Prince, the old minister has been in the office since Tianshun four years, and for decades, he can also be called conscientious, and in his heart, he has not been complacent, but today, I have seen the depth of His Royal Highness the Prince's hard work, and his talent is so quick, but he is breathtaking, and he is really ashamed, in the past two or three years, His Royal Highness the Prince has always been closed, and the old minister has still vainly speculated on His Royal Highness's intentions, and it is a crime of ten thousand deaths, please forgive me." ”

The reason why Liu Jian was able to become the first assistant of the cabinet was that he naturally had his ability.

His vision is still okay, after all, he has governed the world, and he knows the great benefits of the train for the whole world.

In addition, if there is a mistake, he will admit it, and there will be no ambiguity, which is also the difference between him and other so-called clear streams.
