Zhu Gaoxu prepared thirty miles of railroad tracks, about half an hour, the train came to an end, Zhu Di swayed down from above, His Majesty the Emperor was full of smiles, it was called a cluster of flowers, a cluster of flowers, happy to fly......

He pulled his son Zhu Gaoxu and kept slapping it hard, and the praise in his stomach was blocked in his throat, and he couldn't say it, only his thumb was extended.

The benefits of railways are all too obvious.

Even the most primitive train is 10,000 times more efficient than a horse-drawn carriage.

I took three wagons, and the upper carriage was loaded with 300 stone of grain, and it took half an hour to walk thirty miles...... If it were to be done in the original way, it would take an average of 30 horse-drawn carriages and a day's walk to achieve it.

Thirty chariots require 60 horses, grooms, and people, and these people need to eat, drink, and lazar for a day...... Usually, when transporting grain in China, the loss is at least more than 30 percent, and if it is transported to the outside of the country, it is several times more.

Along the Great Wall, hoard 10,000 stone of grain, and when you go deep into the grassland, there may be only 1,000 stone left.

Everyone wants a vast territory and a strong country.

But things are not so simple, and a big country also means a big burden.

This is also the reason why the Central Plains Dynasty was relatively tolerant of Siyi, after all, rewarding a little silk, gold and silver, you can exchange it for a period of stability, and in economics, it is very cost-effective. If you really use the sword soldiers, it's hard to say.

Just like Qin Shi Huang unified the world, why did Qin II perish?

The reason is also very simple, the first emperor extended the measures to govern the Guanzhong Plain to the whole country, and the scale was expanded by five times at once, but he did not change his course in time, and continued to follow the old method, and the consequences are self-evident.

Successive dynasties continued to explore, and under agricultural conditions, at most pushed the territory to the line of the Great Wall, and if it was exceeded, the burden would increase exponentially, and eventually it would have to be abandoned.

Within this territory, a pattern of external Confucianism and internal law was formed, a patriarchal society was formed, and a situation in which kings and scholars ruled the world together......

In fact, if you think about it carefully, the ancients were really not stupid, they just established a set of management methods with the lowest cost and the best effect on the basis of the existing productivity pattern.

Later generations have entered the industrial age, and then look back at ancient history, there will be a lot of ideas, but many people ignore that the two sides are not in the same civilization dimension, a bit similar to the three-body people looking at the earthlings, they also feel that some of the earthlings' practices and ideas are stupid, and they don't even care about what the earthlings think, I will destroy you, the rain girl has no melon!

Therefore, what Liu Chun really hopes to change is the level of technology and the degree of productivity, which is the real basis of the change!

"Congratulations, Your Highness, you have succeeded."

When Zhu Gaochu faced Liu Chun, he received the master's heartfelt congratulations, and Zhu Gaoxu's eyes were red for a moment, and the breath suppressed in his chest went straight to the sky.

"It's done!"

"We're done!"

As if he was crazy, he rushed to the gang of civil officials and pointed at their noses unceremoniously, "Are you convinced?" What else is there to say? ”

Yang Shiqi's face turned red when he was asked, and he could only say: "Your Highness's whimsy, ingenuity, and unparalleled ingenuity, the ministers are on the ground!" ”

"It's not a whimsy, it's science! This is the power of countless craftsmen! Zhu Gaoxu corrected: "From the steam engine, to the locomotive, to the railroad track...... It is the result of the efforts of thousands of craftsmen. I want to ask you now, is it the teachings of Master Confucius, or the proverbs of Master Meng, that can stop the train from rolling in? ”

Yang Shiqi was even more embarrassed, "His Royal Highness the King of Han, your invention is really powerful, it's just the way of Confucius and Mencius, and it's not useless, the two can't be compared!" ”

"Hahaha!" Zhu Gaoxu laughed loudly, "If you say that, I won't force you." From your words, I can already draw a conclusion, that is, the way of Confucius and Mencius is not omnipotent! Your small words can't stop the steel! ”

Zhu Gaoxu patted the black train, full of pride, and asked loudly: "You! Everyone, who dares to look down on the craftsman, say! Stand out! Who else feels nobler than those of us? Who else wouldn't bother to live with us? All out! ”

Zhu Gaoxu shouted wildly, pulling his throat and laughing wildly.

He questioned over and over again.

The cabinet was speechless, the six ministries hung their heads, and Jiuqing was depressed.

Those science and technology officials were even more shocked, they were still staring at the train, and some people couldn't even believe that it was true.

It's amazing!

They looked west, and in the distance, they could only see a piece of black oppression, that was Beiping, right? We came out so far that it was faster than a horseback ride.

But how many things can a horse carry?

Look at the train again, pulling one or two hundred people, and pulling so many goods, what is the difference?

This thing is simply a desolate beast, and its power is amazing.

Officials like the six cabinet departments have begun to look forward to how convenient and smooth the transportation of goods will be if railways are built in various parts of the Ming Dynasty?

Even if the army is used externally, it will not cost the people and money.

The main trains can transport thousands of soldiers to the frontier.

That's right!

Another advantage of the train is that it is tireless and can move forward day and night!

Whether it is human or animal power, there is a limit.

Just like transporting grain, if you travel more than 30 miles a day, the livestock will easily die of exhaustion...... For example, in the magnificent Battle of Mobei, the Han Dynasty lost more than eighty percent of its livestock, all of which died in the grassland.

The losses in the war were too great, and even if they were won, many people would be frightened and unwilling to repeat the mistakes of the past.

But when the train appeared, everything changed.

It's completely different.

The laws of the past have all been broken, the old world has been smashed, the old ideas, the old knowledge, the old views...... All of them were swept into the garbage.

Zhu Gaoxu is full of pride, in the past, so many people didn't understand why he was obsessed with science, and would rather give up the struggle for the throne, now they should understand, what is called a torch of vision and foresight!

Zhu Gaoxu turned around and finally walked in front of Liu Guan.

At this moment, Lord Liu's legs are still soft, as if he was fished out of the water.

"Ghosts! What a ghost! ”

Zhu Gaoxu lifted his collar and pulled him up.

"What the hell? You have a ghost in your heart! ”

Liu Guan's face turned pale, he looked at Zhu Gaoxu, then at the train, and was so frightened that he hurriedly lowered his head, as if it was some kind of monster, and would swallow him in one bite.

"I ask you, what else do you say?"

"No, no." Liu Guan was so frightened that he didn't dare to speak.

Zhu Gaoxu snorted coldly: "Okay, you go and apologize to all the craftsmen now, and take back your nonsense on the Golden Palace in front of them!" ”

"Ahh

Liu Guan trembled, looked at Zhu Gaoxu hesitantly, very painful and entangled, and said after a while: "Why doesn't Your Highness refrain from forgiving?" ”

Zhu Gaoxu snorted coldly: "Now beg me to spare you?" Why didn't you think of it when you were talking nonsense? Let me tell you, this king never knew how to write the word forgiveness! ”

Zhu Gaoxu was really ruthless, and he carried Liu Guan and came to Zhu Di.

"Father, the son plans to ask him to apologize to all the craftsmen, and admit that he is talking nonsense, and take back his previous words, what does the father think?"

Zhu Di has a calm face, what are you asking me to say?

Of course Liu Guan hates it, even if he kills him, it's nothing, but he can be forced to apologize, Shi can be killed but not humiliated, so many officials are here, it is obviously a great joy, and it is really angry to make it unpleasant.

Zhu Di didn't speak, Liu Chun couldn't help but speak, "His Royal Highness the King of Han, put aside the matter of apology, let's invite the craftsmen to come over first, let Your Majesty meet the big guys, and celebrate their achievements!" ”

Zhu Di finally nodded, "Yes, tell the big guys, I will give them a holiday, hold a banquet in the Fengtian Palace, entertain the heroes, and I will have a heavy reward." ”

When the courtiers saw it, they were not only envious, jealous and hateful, but they were almost crying!

Look at us, what kind of treatment are they, it is difficult to improve a little money, and the housing must also borrow the light of craftsmen.

It's better now, people go to the Golden Palace, eat the royal banquet, get rewards, look at it, there will definitely be no less, His Majesty who slammed the door is finally generous, it's a pity, it's not for them.

The officials were angry, but they couldn't help it.

At this moment, Zhu Gaoxu had already run over, and before the experiment, he asked the craftsmen to take a train in advance and wait at the end of the line. Now he went to say hello, and the big guys were coming.

Numerous craftsmen, as well as researchers, there were a hundred and ten, and the big guys came to meet you with bright smiles.

Zhu Di took the initiative to greet him, and said loudly from afar: "You are all heroes, heroes of the Ming Dynasty, I replace the people of the world, thank you!" ”

When the craftsmen heard this, they fell to their knees and thanked God.

The scene was full of joy.

But at this moment, a young craftsman, so excited that when he got up, he accidentally dropped the hat on his head, and although he hurriedly picked it up and put it on, many people saw it clearly, his head was bare, and there was nothing.

At this moment, many people have noticed that many of these craftsmen seem to have shaved their hair.

Liu, who was still paralyzed just now, watched this scene, as if he had grasped a life-saving straw.

He stumbled over and pointed at the craftsmen with his hand.

"He's bald, they're all bald!"

He even rushed up and ripped off the hats of two people, revealing the bare tops of their heads.

Liu Guan really wanted to laugh three times, he was so happy that he finally didn't have to apologize to these things.

"Your Majesty, the parents of the body and skin, these people are not monks, why do they shave their heads? Are they unfilial, or are they harboring evil intentions? ”

Liu Guan went one step further and said to Zhu Di: "Your Majesty, back then, Taizu killed a villain with ill intentions with the words 'in broad daylight, for the people'. What do they want to do with their hair shaved? Do you want to insult the first emperor? ”

Liu Guan's few words instantly turned the originally meritorious man into a rebellious criminal, and the big guys are stupid, why do craftsmen shave their hair? How should Your Majesty decide?
