"The barbarians of Europa naturally don't have to worry," Emperor Chongzhen first affirmed Zhu Yujian's statement, and then said: "It's just that under the order of Tui'en, there must be many vassal kings who want to say that I am mean and unkind behind my back." ”

Zhu Yujian secretly scolded in his heart, and then hurriedly leaned over and bowed: "Your Majesty, although the ministers are far away in Xinming Island, they also have great wisdom in their hearts, and they are grateful for Your Majesty's heavenly grace, and they dare not have such rebellious thoughts, I hope Your Majesty will see it!" ”

Emperor Chongzhen smiled and gave Zhu Yu a handful of keys, and then continued: "I know Uncle Wang's loyalty, and what I just said is just a feeling, and it has nothing to do with Uncle Wang. ”

After Zhu Yujian sat down again, Emperor Chongzhen said: "It's a pity that a place as big as Europa, it's not good to think about it, I'm afraid that Emperor Taizu Gao has a spirit in the sky, and he will think that we are incompetent." ”

Zhu Yujian was even more confused now.

When this king entered the palace, it seems that he didn't discuss the matter of Europa with your old man, right? It seems to be for the railway? Why is it on Emperor Taizu Gao again?

After pondering for a long time, Zhu Yujian spoke: "Then what does Your Majesty mean?" ”

Emperor Chongzhen smiled and said, "Uncle Wang, do you still remember the Spanish Francos back then?" ”

Although Zhu Yujian had never dealt with those Spanish barbarians, he still knew about the South China Sea Fleet and the Spaniards.

Even the Spaniards still have some business dealings with Xinming Island.

Xinming Island is so big that it is rich enough to have a large amount of goods that were shipped to the Ming Dynasty, and some of them were sold to Europe through the Dutch East India Company and the Spaniards.

This is also the reason why the vassal kings on Xinming Island are so rich.

After nodding, Zhu Yujian said: "The minister naturally remembers those Spanish barbarians, as if he had also wiped out some English barbarians on Xinming Island?" Or maybe it's a Spanish barbarian? Wechen doesn't remember very well. ”

Emperor Chongzhen said with great certainty: "It must be a barbarian from Spain!" In addition to committing heinous crimes in Luzon, those barbarians also harmed the remnants of our Yin Shang on Xinming Island, which is really an unforgivable crime! ”

Zhu Yujian understands in seconds - otherwise how can people be emperors, otherwise how can people be able to prosper the Ming Dynasty, this shameless momentum is not to mention himself, even those vassal kings on Xinming Island are tied together, and it is not enough to see!

"Xinming Island also has a fleet now, and there is no problem to go to Spain through the Suez Canal." The smile on Emperor Chongzhen's face gradually became distorted: "Hang the people and kill the crime!" ”

"I will ask the North and South Industrial Group to rush to produce an additional batch of munitions to support Xinming Island, and the North Sea Fleet and the East China Sea Fleet will each transfer a sub-fleet into the combat sequence of the Xinming Island Fleet.

In addition to the soldiers of Xinmingdao itself, I will ask the Governor's Office of the Five Armies to transfer six additional integrated combat readiness guards into the combat sequence of the Xinmingdao Army. After taking Spain, it was distributed to the original vassal kings of Shinmei Island. ”

It's so nice to say, isn't it better to let Xinmingdao pay money and people to fight and grab land......

Zhu Yujian thinks that he is not stupid, he can figure out the twists and turns in this as long as he thinks about it, and then Zhu Yujian bowed down and said: "Minister, on behalf of the vassal kings of Xinming Island, thank Your Majesty for your grace!" ”

No one can escape Wang Jingze's mentor's law of true fragrance, and Zhu Yujian is no exception, even if he knew that Emperor Chongzhen wanted to force these vassal kings to contribute money and effort to shed blood and sweat, he finally agreed to it.

There is no way to accept it, the domestic army is in the hands of the Taiwei, the power is in the hands of the prime minister, and these vassal kings nominally dominate the entire vassal country, but in fact they are just changing from a small pigsty to a farther and bigger pigsty, once Emperor Chongzhen is unhappy, these vassal kings may be cool at any time.

There is another reason that Zhu Yujian, Zhu Cunshu and Zhu Zhuohong all regretted it in their hearts when they failed to fight each other with the Mughal barbarians.

After all, I made a lot of preparations, just waiting to kill the Mughals after going to sea, and then everyone sat in a row to divide the territory, and as a result, a demon wind got all these people to Xinming Island......

Now it would be nice to have this opportunity to toughen up the Spanish brutes.

After agreeing to it, Zhu Yujian remembered the purpose of coming to the palace to ask Emperor Chongzhen: "Your Majesty, the minister still has one more thing, I want to ask Your Majesty for a favor?" ”

Once again, Emperor Chongzhen, who was in a good mood, immediately said with a smile: "We are all a family, what does Uncle Wang have to say, why don't you ask for it?" ”

This king doesn't want to be a family with you!

After scolding in his heart, Zhu Yujian said: "Weichen wants to introduce the railway to Xinming Island. Today, the island's original steam locomotives were used to transport goods, not passengers.

Now it is convenient to transport goods, but the people still rely on walking, horse-drawn carriages, ox carts and other means of transportation, far less convenient than trains.

If the train can be rolled out on Xinming Island, the people can also spread to more places, so that most of them will gather in the southeast area of Xinming Island as it is now. ”

Now it was Emperor Chongzhen's turn to be stunned - the current railway construction of the Ming Dynasty is between the state capitals, that is, in the place where a large number of people live.

According to Zhu Yujian's meaning, this is obviously a plan to repair the railway station first, and then drive the people to move to the vicinity of the railway station?

Do you play the set of the new city development in the future?

After thinking about it, Emperor Chongzhen still rejected Zhu Yujian's request: "Uncle Wang doesn't know, this matter is really not something that can be agreed to now." ”

Seeing Zhu Yujian's face full of disappointment, Emperor Chongzhen reassured: "I naturally know the convenience of the train, in fact, the cabinet and the Ministry of Railways have already made plans for the construction of the Xinmingdao Railway before. ”

Zhu Yujian was even more curious now.

Saying that the cabinet and the Ministry of Railways will think about Xinming Island and overhaul the railway on Xinming Island, Zhu Yujian believes that after all, Xinming Island is also the territory of Daming, and all the people there are Daming people.

But since the planning has been made, why has there been no rumor until now, let alone started?

Emperor Chongzhen said: "Actually, now the Ministry of Railways is planning to upgrade the railway, and the original rails can't withstand the locomotive and carriages of the train that have just been made, and the roadbed is easy to have problems."

I believe that Uncle Wang will definitely understand that this kind of hundreds of thousands of kilometers of railway tracks will be demolished, and the impact will not be a little bit, and the time will be even more problematic.

So until now, the Ministry of Railways, the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Households are still arguing, and before the three are entangled and understood, the railway construction of Xinming Island cannot be put on the agenda. After all, the railway is easy to repair, but what about the future upgrading? ”

After sighing, Emperor Chongzhen simply said: "That's it, I have said so much, it is better for Uncle Wang to take a look at tomorrow's court meeting, it is estimated that there will be another controversy at that time." ”

The next day's court meeting was indeed another controversy, as Emperor Chongzhen said.

Wu Ganlai stood there quietly, no matter how much Hong Chengchou persuaded him to bloom the lotus, in the end, it was two words: "No money!" ”

Facing Wu Ganlai, who did not eat oil and salt, Hong Chengchou, who was not very good-tempered, was also angry: "Wu Laojiao! My Ministry of Railways said that the application for rebuilding the railway was rejected by you, but you still refuse to increase the budget by 50% next year, are you deceiving me that the Ministry of Railways has no one!? ”

Wu Ganlai sneered before he said, "Apply to rebuild the railway? Your Hongbutang has a million-dollar reconstruction budget in one mouth, why don't you move the treasury to your Ministry of Railways?

Also, if you increase the budget by 50% next year, will others increase it? Fifty percent of the budget is not much, but it is not too much, a budget of 100,000 yuan, you let the treasury drink the northwest wind?

Besides, you don't know you Hong Butang? Your budget has been approved this year, and it's good if you don't increase it next year, let alone reduce it! ”

Hong Chengchou said with a sigh: "If you want to build a railway, don't you build the small alley in front of your Wu Lao's house, and the cost is the same?"

Hong is not afraid to tell you clearly that the budget this time has been compressed as much as possible, and if the labor cost is included, your budget of millions of taels will not be enough! ”

After Wu Ganlai sneered, two words finally burst out between his teeth: "No money!" ”

Seeing that Hong Chengchou was already angry and was about to make a move, Wu Ganlai snorted coldly: "You want to rebuild this year, how can you guarantee that you will not rebuild next year?"

Take the Liangjing Railway as an example, has it only been a few years since it was repaired? Not in 10 years? How many unfinished railways are there in the remaining places, and you want to rebuild them with your mouth? ”

Hong Chengchou said angrily: "We can't be too unreasonable!" What speed did the previous trains have? What is the new speed of the Royal Academy? It used to take five days to get from Beijing to Nanjing, but now it only takes three days! ”

Wu Ganlai nodded and said, "That's right, in a few years, will you have to come out again for just one day, or even a train that will arrive at dawn and evening?" In the end, does it have to show up, and it only takes two hours to arrive?

According to the method of your Ministry of Railways, it will be rebuilt every time it is speeded up, according to the old man, the treasury of the Ming Dynasty does not have to do anything else, it is all used to repair the railway for you! ”

Zhang Zhiji laughed, and finally stood up: "Wu Butang don't say that, the Ministry of Railways still has a lot of benefits for building railways, this is a great thing that is meritorious in the present and beneficial in the future, isn't it?" ”

Wu Ganlai glanced at Zhang Zhiji and sneered: "You don't jump out to be a good person!" It is true that merit is in contemporary times, but if you are not careful, this is sin in contemporary times! It's all silver from the treasury! ”

Zhu Yujian had a little reminiscence, and couldn't help but scold his mother in his heart!

This damn thing, Hubu Shangshu was crying poor when the dynasty, and he, the vassal king, still wanted to build a railway on Xinming Island, didn't this mean that this king was ignorant?

There is also the ministry of the Ministry of Railways, and the household in charge of the money bag is torn apart, saying that he wants to get money to rebuild the railway, but he is afraid that it is Xiang Zhuang dancing the sword, which means the king!

Look at these two bastards, the little knife is wielding so vigorously that it almost says that Tang Wang is making money!

This king has no money!

Lowering his head and glancing at Emperor Chongzhen, who was watching the play on the dragon chair, Zhu Yujian simply lowered his head and pretended to be stupid.

This thing is not like this, this lord wants to scare Spain, Xinmingdao has to pay people, this lord now wants to build a railway, and he can't let the people of Xinmingdao pay anymore, right?

Even if he is willing to come out, the other vassal kings may not hate themselves - they were all in Daming before, and they were not afraid that those scum would hate themselves, but now Daming is also in Xinming Island, so I have to think about it......

Emperor Chongzhen saw that Zhu Yujian lowered his head and pretended to be stupid, so he simply glanced at Lu Xiangsheng.

Lu Xiangsheng said: "Your Majesty, I think that the matter of the railway is indeed as the British public said, and it is really a great thing that will benefit the present and the future."

Far from it, the transportation of private goods and goods has increased more than ten times compared with before there is no railway, and if the speed of the train can be faster, the circulation of private goods will inevitably be accelerated. ”

Emperor Chongzhen nodded and said: "The benefits of the train are obvious, so the railway must be repaired, and it should be upgraded." ”

Lu Xiangsheng should be after, and then continued: "It's just that what Wu Butang said is also extremely reasonable, whether it is the northern expedition to Tsarist Russia or the immigration to England, as well as the war situation in Europe, the treasury is needed to support, if a large number of railways are rebuilt now, it is indeed too heavy a burden for the treasury." ”

Emperor Chongzhen smiled and said, "What does the cabinet think?" ”

Lu Xiangsheng bowed and said: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that he can pilot it first, just like the original Tianjin Wei."

The original construction of the railway can be suspended first, especially in some areas where the speed and capacity are not too fast at all, and it can be slowed down first.

And like between the two capitals, there are also ascending the throne, Tianjin to the capital, Quanzhou, Guangdong to Nanjing, these places with relatively large power demand can start to replace first.

If the effect is obvious, it will be rolled out to the whole country, and if it is not obvious enough, the original railway construction will be continued, so that the cost can be minimized. ”

Hong Chengchou also immediately jumped out: "Your Majesty, Weichen once ordered someone to do an experiment to run the transportation capacity between the capital and Tianjin Wei in the fastest mode, and the effect is extremely obvious, whether it is the speed of population flow or the speed of goods circulation, it has more than doubled compared with before."

If the latest railway mode is used, it is estimated that this range can be increased even more.

Lu Gelao's words are a good solution, now upgrade the railways between the two Beijings, Tianjin and Denglai to Beijing, Quanzhou, Guangdong to Nanjing, and then see the effect and then upgrade the railways in other regions. ”

Emperor Chongzhen couldn't help but set his eyes on Zhu Yujian: "What does Uncle Wang think?" ”
