Zhou Sijing is not compassionate.

It's just that the current situation of the steam yamen is not thriving.

Civilian iron cattle are bought and played by a few large manor owners, and most of the state capitals that are not so developed have a higher cost performance ratio for hiring people than buying machines, and the government also supports and even forces them to hire people.

Under the rule of a small county, the people are no more than 10,000 households, and most industries tend to be saturated with only a few dozen practitioners under the very small demand, for example, beggars who ask for food, the county seat is so little, there are so many restaurants, and the market is so big, and more than a dozen practitioners can eat every day.

The troupe and the band of red and white ceremonies only need a dozen people, and two people who know feng shui and can read the cemetery can eat the entire market, and no matter how many people are, they can only change careers.

If it weren't for the fact that there were too many people in Fengcheng, Jiangxi Province who knew how to look at the cemetery, why would Deng Zilong, who was born in a well-known family, show people the land to the point of almost starving to death, and there was really no way to take the martial arts exam.

I am a member of Benfeng City, and how can ten thousand enemies be with me?

The largest number of peasant households in the county town are peasant households, but there are land annexations, external industry mergers, and drought is rampant, and half of the yeoman farmers are good.

The imperial court's examination method tests how much tax you collect under your rule, how many old people you have in your place, how many filial sons and grandsons you have, how many filial sons and grandsons you have, how well the six departments have fulfilled their apportionment duties, how well the localities have implemented public expenditures, and whether the landlords of wealthy households have hidden their land and household registration, but it does not test whether the people have arable land, because there is no solution to this problem at the court level.

There are always hundreds of people in the world, even if the court equalizes the rich and the poor, there will still be people who will lose their land in the next year, but the magistrate can't ignore it.

It is extremely mean and irresponsible to say that the people are a rabble, but even in a state of absolute equality, there are indeed fast and slow runners in the pursuit of wealth, and the government cannot always discount all the fast legs.

They only suggested, and could only suggest that those who ran fast help those behind, drag them on the ground as referees, encourage those who walk slowly, and the most important thing is to encourage those who can't run to keep running, and give a glass of water to those who can't walk and collapse.

If you can't eat enough, wait first, let the one who hasn't eaten hang for a bite, and then go back and refill the handful of rice that is about to stop.

Once the big landlord used the steam engine, it was equivalent to smashing the rice bowl in the hands of the people who could not eat enough.

Therefore, a considerable number of officials were extremely resistant to the use of steam engines by large landowners.

It doesn't even matter if they are Confucian or not, just because they are human beings, and when a new power emerges, not a fire rising under the stove but only for the convenience of a few, it doesn't matter if they are officials of the Ming Dynasty, whether it is a steam engine or artificial intelligence, it only has to do with the fact that they are human.

If you are a human being, you will have both admirers and opponents of new things.

Local laws have emerged one after another for this purpose, some of which directly prohibit landlords from using steam engines; Some did not dare to be so blatant, so they demanded that the landlord use a steam engine to hand over how many acres of land to the tenants who had no land; Others require the landlord to use a steam engine for how many acres of wasteland the government reclaims; Or how many tenants must be hired to use a steam engine, and the minimum labor cost is geometric.

Then there is the county for the welfare of the people to make a small iron ox to put the county government, in the townships are at the junction of a large stone grinding mill, every year to the harvest season by the government to load the car to drive the county around, with superb efficiency to solve the problem of grinding noodles for the people who can not afford to raise donkeys, do something practical at the same time for themselves to fight for some political achievements and official reputation.

All this is not a good sign in Zhou Sijing's eyes.

"There are more and more railways to be repaired by the imperial court, what Shan Zhou knows now, the railroad tracks of the iron factory Xu have been transported to the outside of the pass by the Qinglong Army train, and the three internal guard banner troops have been paved along the Wulianghai Railway to the west for one mile and one mile, and the one is estimated to be repaired to the Naturalization City, and the section from Changping to Yanqingwei in the Guannei has been levied by Shuntianfu."

Zhou Sijing put down his pen and pressed his palm heavily on the table, hoping to make several other yamen officials realize the seriousness of the problem, and said: "Changping went south through Zhenbao Town to Wu'an, and Jingying joined the road construction; Datong to the north out of the customs to Jining, to the south to Taiyuan, Changzhi, are repairing, Changzhi, Wu'an are iron production, wrought iron important land, Shanxi is a coal land. ”

"What does this mean, it shows that these roads are not the emperor's purpose, these roads are just His Majesty before the army moves, the grain and grass go first, and the prince of Shu in Chengdu also joins in the fun, to take the specifications and dimensions of the rails, and also asks the emperor to allocate experienced craftsmen to repair the railway in Sichuan at his own expense, and go to Xi'an."

"Like a post road, the railway will one day spread all over the world."

Zhou Sijing's tone was extremely sad and uneasy when he said this, but there were always some of his subordinate colleagues who were blind, and applauded in surprise: "Good thing, what are you dissatisfied with, Lord?" ”

For Zhou Sijing, the most annoying thing is that there are still people who echo: "Yes, the master, so the orders are rolling in!" The steam yamen will also be more important in the imperial court. ”

"Of course it's a good thing, but there are two problems with that. First, it's too fast, Your Majesty wants to push today's Qinglong to be customized, all the round-trip tracks, intermittent land coal stations, and trucks are all customized to today's Qinglong, but do you think the current Qinglong is customized? ”

"When he runs, you can't even let him stop steadily within a hundred steps, in the past two years, someone in Guangzhou knows that he has run out of the track more than 20 times, in the track he is a green dragon, out of the track he is a evil dragon, the car overturned and smashed is not nothing, and there are even Qinglong on the two parallel roads at the same time derailed and crashed into one place, is it the fourth factory, right?"

"I remember last year that the head of the fourth factory gave me a suggestion to change the control room to the back, so as to prevent Mite's injury or even death after the derailment - am I just going to protect Mite?"

In the current situation, it is a relatively common thing for the Qinglong to run out of the track, because those land coal stations are parking stations, and the military train has to slow down before approaching the land coal station, and finally crash into a wooden pile made of the shovel head of the Qinglong military column at a very slow sliding speed, the wooden pile is made of the wood of the Oriental century-old cedar wood, and there are track dents below, as long as the car begins to slow down, it will push it forward and stop on the track a few steps.

The garrison of the Lu Coal Station then used large levers to lift the wooden stakes and drag them to the side, while the winch suspension levers on the other side hooked baskets of pre-loaded coal in the uncovered coal boxes behind the front of the locomotive.

After doing this, two four-horse trailers on both sides of the track pulled the military column forward to save time, and ran out for more than ten miles, and the car was heated up by the lathe worker, and the hook hooked on the front of the car was untied by the lathe, and the royal hand of the four-horse trailer returned to both sides of the track.

This is already improved, each car including the cargo compartment has a special person responsible for the brakes, the brake tools are two huge iron rods in front of the car diagonally pointing backwards, there is a shaft at the bottom of the carriage, and the other end of the axle is a long rod parallel to the ground to the rear of the car, connecting the cast iron tiles outside each wheel.

Once the brake command is heard from the front of the car, the red glass cover light in the compartment is lit, and the two brakemen in each compartment have to exert all their strength to push and pull the brake lever vertically.

Wanli specially formulated a law, along the way of the military and civilians stealing the railroad tracks, the normal compensation for losses, the death of the person and confiscation of family property, especially the use of the body to disassemble and carry this talented modus operandi, will be punished as a brake household, salary, not hereditary, a job is a lifetime.
