Zhu Di's royal special train entered Jinan Station in the middle of the night. Tang Huai, the governor of Shandong, led all the civil and military officials, looking forward to it, waiting for the arrival of the Son of Heaven.

At this moment, Zhu Di was not sleepy, and his eyes were as bright as light bulbs. He kept muttering, quick, too fast!

Liu Chun pretended to sleep, closed his eyes, and was too lazy to take care of this old hat, if you say hurry, then hurry! Anyway, you probably won't be able to enjoy the real fast in your life, but to be honest, at the current speed, it's enough to beat everything. The next step is to build more railways to connect the east, west, north and south of the Ming Dynasty, and at that time, he can retire with peace of mind and enjoy his old age in the fiefdom.

Liu Chun closed his eyes and recuperated, thinking about what would happen next.

How could Zhu Di have the heart to think about this, he was completely immersed in the shock, the shock from the industrial power!

The train carried thousands of people, and in one day's effort, it traveled a thousand miles!

A thousand miles!

The fastest means of communication in the past was the eight-hundred-mile expedited. Knights are required to run around the clock, and most of the lives of people are lost, and several horses will be killed by running away.

It is said that it is 800 miles to expedit, but in fact, between the two capitals, it will take more than four days at the earliest, and if it is a rugged terrain, it will take longer.

The eight-hundred-mile expedited is too expensive, and there are too few things that can be carried, so except for the most urgent military situation, a few major national events cannot be used at all.

But the train is different, the speed is faster, the capacity is increased by 10,000 times, and the cost is greatly reduced when it is spread on the goods...... Not only military affairs, but even ordinary merchant freight can be greatly developed.

When Liu Chun summed up the road construction, the most commonly used six words were "If you want to get rich, build the road first", now it seems that this kid really didn't fool me, he was telling the truth!

This is nothing, Zhu Di was most shocked by the way of crossing the Yellow River, in fact, if it weren't for the Yellow River, they would have entered Jinan a long time ago.

As early as when the railway was being built, Zhu Gaoxu had inspected it, and he discussed with many people that if he wanted to build a railway bridge over the Yellow River, it would never be possible to do it in a short period of time.

Zhu Gaoxu came up with a solution, which was to build a large flat-bottomed ferry.

Adopt a shape similar to a fortune boat, make the belly as big as possible, and lower the waterline. On the deck, rails are laid and several sections of ferries are connected to form a pontoon bridge.

And in order to make the pontoon strong and stable enough, he also drove cast iron pillars into the river.

Before going south this time, Zhu Di only knew that the craftsmen of the Ming Dynasty were quite good, but he still did not know to what extent the craftsmen had reached.

But when crossing the Yellow River, Zhu Di really felt a lot, hugged the thick and thin pillars, and stood firmly in the Yellow River, with a 300-zhang long iron chain across the river.

The surging Yellow River, like a tamed beast, obediently crawls at its feet.

The train passed the approach bridge, got onto the pontoon, and sped towards the south bank.

Under the feet is the boiling water of the Yellow River, and the moat becomes a thoroughfare, what a feat!

At the beginning of the Jingjing, people carried horses and sent goods to the north bank, and then loaded them on ships and transported them to the south, and then used manpower and animal power to transport them forward.

It is easy to cross the Yellow River alone, but it is even more difficult to cross the river with goods than to climb to the sky!

How many people, boatmen, cattle, horses, and livestock were exhausted to death, and the corpses were all over the river, how tragic! Because of this, the great rivers have become a natural danger in many turbulent times and divided patterns from ancient times to the present.

Not to mention far away, didn't Zhu Yunwen just want to rule by rowing the river?

Now that the railway has been built, overnight, the imperial court forbidden army will be able to come to the city, who still has the ability to divide the territory?

The railroad is a tenacious tendon that binds my world tightly together, and will never be torn apart again, never again falling apart.

My country is stronger than steel!

Zhu Di went south this time, originally to teach Xungui a lesson and let them know that he was powerful. Who knew that the most shocked person turned out to be Zhu Di himself.

He is full of confidence and fighting spirit at the moment.

Even if Jing Nanxun is all against it, what can he do? The strength in my hands is not comparable to you at all, and if you want to fight with me, you are still too far behind.

Zhu Di is full of pride and arrogance!

When he stood down from Jinan and saw Tang Huai and other officials, Zhu Di took the initiative to stride over, stretched out his hand and pulled Tang Huai up, reluctant to let him kneel.

The monarchs and ministers looked at each other, and the crackling fire was shining, which made Tang Huai embarrassed.

"Your Majesty, the ministers greet Your Majesty, and the ministers have prepared a feast of Lu cuisine for Your Majesty, please ask Your Majesty to go over and rest."

Zhu Di waved his hand, "Don't eat it, the feast is left to you...... I want to eat green onions! ”

"Green onions?" Tang Huaisheng was afraid that his ears would be broken, so he asked again.

"That's right, it's green onions, and it's even better to have pancakes. If you don't have the sauce, forget it, there is it on the train, and it is Liubiju. ”

Tang Huai also smiled, "Your Majesty, if you want to talk about sauce, it is still good in Shandong, and the one in the capital is just famous." ”

It's rare that Zhu Di didn't refute.

The officials below really prepared a large stack of pancakes for Zhu Di, as well as authentic Zhangqiu green onions.

Zhu Di ate sweetly and called Liu Chun up.

"Come, try this supper, it's a different taste."

Liu Chun barely cheered up, tasted a roll, and then said slowly: "Tang Huai, in the past few years of road construction, you guys will eat this, right?" ”

Tang Huai nodded, "Well, you have a lot of strength to eat green onions, but you can't build roads without strength!" ”

Zhu Di stuffed the pancake roll in his hand into his mouth, showed a pleased smile, and patted his shoulder hard.

"You are also from a noble background, but you can endure loneliness and eat hard...... I know that you, the governor, follow the people to open mountains and build roads, which is really hard! ”

Zhu Di looked back at Liu Chun, "You taught a good apprentice!" ”

Liu Chun said in a deep voice: "The most difficult section of the Liangjing Railway is in the hills of Shandong, and it is indeed good that they can complete it on schedule." As he spoke, Liu Chun smiled at his apprentice.

Tang Huai hurriedly lowered his head, his eyes were red, such a long time of hard work was finally not in vain.

"Your Majesty praised it, the ministers were terrified, and the praise of the gentleman made the students collapse and feel uneasy."

Zhu Di said politely: "What you deserve, I will reward and punish fairly, and I will never let the meritorious ministers chill." You will go south with me now, and I will give you a secretary of the Ministry of Works! ”

Tang Huai used to hold the title of Imperial History of the Imperial Capital, but he was just a fourth-grade official. Now that he has jumped to the second grade of Shangshu, it is more exaggerated than being promoted to three levels in a row, and Zhu Di's handwriting is really breathtaking.

How could Tang Huai not be happy, but after a short period of distraction, he hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, can the minister dare to ask for a delay of a year and a half, let the minister implement the affairs of Shandong, and then enter Beijing." ”

Zhu Di said: "What else do you have to do?" ”

Tang Huai immediately said: "Your Majesty, in order to build the road, the Shandong fathers have paid too much price. The previous abolition of Caoyun has affected the livelihood of many people, and the minister plans to fight for some projects for the elders of Shandong, which can be regarded as an official for the benefit of one party. The minister felt that this was what the elders of Shandong deserved. ”

Liu Chun was dumbfounded, "If you say that, your style is a lot lower." ”

Tang Huai said with a smile: "The disciple doesn't care about face!" ”

"Hahaha!"

Liu Chun laughed loudly, "Your Majesty, the imperial court originally planned to add two more universities in Shandong, as well as two vocational schools. Now Tang Huai said, is it possible to set up a machinery manufacturing factory, which can not only repair steam engines, but also manufacture parts and products for trains? ”

Zhu Di readily agreed.

Tang Huai was overjoyed, this gift package completely exceeded his expectations.

The two universities, plus the two vocational schools, have made Shandong's educational resources comparable to those of Beijing and other provinces.

As for the establishment of a machinery manufacturing plant, it is even more like a tiger with wings, and the future of Shandong can be expected!

"Master, do you think it should be implemented as soon as possible, and how can the disciple confirm with the Cabinet Rites Department?"

Liu Chun couldn't help but laugh and scolded: "You rabbit cub, Your Majesty and I will still lie to you, sooner or later it will be meat in your mouth, what are you anxious about?" ”

"Master, that's not right, I didn't eat this meat, I'm hungry!"

Zhu Di also snorted coldly: "Liu Chun, your apprentice and you are both virtuous. The Shandong fathers have made a lot of contributions to the imperial court, and I will draft the decree now, and you will immediately let them arrange the following to build the school and factory in the fastest time. In addition, I took out another 500,000 taels as a student aid. ”

Tang Huai was so happy that he couldn't find the north.

If you pay, you will gain.

In order to build roads, Shandong mobilized a large number of people, many of whom provided their own rations and worked without compensation. During the construction process, countless people were injured.

It's just that after paying for these, Shandong has also gained a remarkable ability, that is, the mastery of modern industry and the familiarity with engineering construction.

This is a very remarkable thing, in the next national construction, from Shandong out of countless construction teams, including almost all the projects.

Even the overseas construction in the future is inseparable from the figure of Shandong people.

Before dawn of Zhu Di's special train, he had already left Jinan, and His Majesty the Emperor, who had not slept all night, was excited like a hairy boy, and the train quickly went south and passed through Tai'an...... Zhu Di had another idea.

"Liu Chun, how about I say I went to Mount Tai to seal Zen?"

Liu Chun lowered his eyelids and said weakly: "The minister will arrange this, let the sky descend auspiciously, and give the river Tuluo book to congratulate Your Majesty on your martial arts and martial arts, and bless the Ming Dynasty for thousands of generations." ”

Zhu Di glared at Liu Chun viciously, "Don't think I can't hear it!" You're talking the other way, I'm not stupid enough to that extent! Mount Tai sealed the Zen, I have built a railway, this is the best proof of my merits! No need to pray to the gods! I am God! ”

Zhu Di said domineeringly, Liu Chun finally opened his eyes, took a closer look at this new "great god" with red eyes, and said from the bottom of his heart.

"Your Majesty, let's go to bed quickly!"

If you keep up, you will not only be a god, but also a nerve!

Zhu Di had no choice but to cover himself with a sheepskin blanket and force himself to close his eyes.

Their monarchs and ministers rested, but on the other side, those nobles couldn't sleep, their eyes were red one by one, where to go, there was really not much time left for them......
