    Emperor Hongzhi seemed incredible.

    Countless ores turned into pig iron, and this pig iron actually turned into components. When they were spliced ??together, it finally became a huge steel monster that could carry a load of 100,000 kilograms and could move without horses.

    Nothing like this has ever appeared in any ancient book.

    Even if it is a wooden cow, a flowing horse with a bit of fantasy color, it is not worth mentioning in front of this.

    "This is something that should be created by immortals in the sky, but it was created by the prince?"

    Fang Jifan certainly knew the taste of Emperor Hongzhi¡¯s words. Although Zhu Houzhao was sometimes a jerk, due to their mutual affection, he should say something kind to Zhu Houzhao, which was a sign of good deeds.

    So Fang Jifan said: "Your Majesty, do you still remember that two or three years ago, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince told your Majesty that he wanted to build a moving car?"

    Emperor Hongzhi: ""

    Fang Jifan said: "Your Majesty, do you still remember that these days, His Highness the Crown Prince has been living in seclusion and spending almost every day in the Steam Locomotive Research Institute? Does Your Majesty think that His Highness the Crown Prince is searching for the papers in the journals?  Is it really because of His Highness the Crown Prince's special status that it was published? Your Majesty, in fact, His Highness the Crown Prince has had more than a dozen papers published in journals, and it just so happens that his papers have been discussed and quoted more than those on Small Insects.  There¡¯s much more to come.¡±

    "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's talents are truly rare in the world. I believe that he is a genius. It takes five hundred years for someone to emerge. Your Majesty and all the officials know that in this world, the only thing that can be done is to be a king or an official."  Only by relying on the skills of emperors and herdsmen can the world be governed for a long time. However, everyone knows that governing the world does not necessarily rely on just the Analects. There is so much knowledge in the world that one person can master it in a lifetime.  It is already rare for a person to become a talented person. However, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince possesses knowledge that few people in the world have. But the knowledge that His Majesty recognizes in his heart is known to everyone. How dare you ask Your Majesty?  Who is more valuable, a person who knows how to govern the world, or a person like His Highness the Crown Prince?"

    "In your Majesty's heart, you think that only those who have studied the Four Books and Five Classics are talented people. Therefore, you think that because His Highness the Crown Prince does not study poetry and calligraphy, he is not doing his job properly and is extremely stubborn. But little does he know that His Highness the Crown Prince is also studying.  What he learned could benefit countless people. As far as this car is concerned, once this car comes out, the world will become a different place. From then on, Ming Dynasty's internal affairs, diplomacy,  War will take on a different form, which is many times better than that of the scholar-bureaucrats of all dynasties."

    "Your Majesty will never know, even if you think about it, how much blood and sweat His Highness spent in order to learn this brand new knowledge. Your Majesty, this is the hard work of His Highness the Crown Prince. I, the foundation of the Ming Dynasty, may not be able to rely on a few people.  The holy king who turned the tide, I dare to say that the achievements of thousands of generations were based on this car. The prince is really a genius of the ages."

    This statement is indeed very reasonable, and Emperor Hongzhi was moved.

    He didn¡¯t speak, but frowned.

    Fang Jifan¡¯s words, once this car comes out, it is enough to subvert the existing domestic affairs, diplomacy, and war

    After all, Emperor Hongzhi had ruled the country for many years and worked conscientiously. At this time, he thought about what Fang Jifan said just now. If there is a railway to Liaodong, the distance between the entire Ming Dynasty and Liaodong will be shortened.  How short is it? The Ming Dynasty's imperial army can rush to Liaodong at any time, dawn or dusk, so can the Ming Dynasty mobilize the best troops from all over the world at any time to rush to any direction?

    When Emperor Wen conquered Annan, it took nearly a year to mobilize before the war. In this way, hundreds of thousands of troops, with a steady supply of food and grass, marched into Annan in a mighty manner.

    But what if there is a railway? This journey will take a month?  Half a month?

    Internal affairsand internal affairs. I have always heard that the mountains are high and the emperor is far away. A county called Wannian is thousands of miles away from the emperor. The court even pays almost no attention to this county. It only exists in the Ming Dynasty.  Only God knows what the county magistrate did there and whether the people lived and worked in peace and contentment.  A memorial from there was sent to the capital. The capital made a decision and sent someone to send it. Half a month or even a month had passed. If it was an ordinary little thing, it would be nothing. Once it happened  It was a major matter that the court simply could not handle immediately.

    Butthis railway

    With the railway, how different is Wannian County, thousands of miles away, from the emperor's feet?

    ???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????

    This is possibleIt's a bit exaggerated, butit might not be the case in the future.

    Emperor Hongzhi¡¯s face changed with uncertainty: ¡°Your prince built this car just to make money by renovating the old city, right?¡±

    This sentence is a bit heartbreaking.

    Fang Jifan was about to cry. He looked at Emperor Hongzhi with grievance and wailed: "Why do you look down on people like this? Your Majesty and the Crown Prince are thinking of the people of the world. The original intention of your Majesty and Your Highness is this."  In order to strengthen the border defense of our Ming Dynasty and make it convenient for our soldiers and civilians to travel. Who would have thought that we could still earn money. Your Majesty, your Majesty, sell your househow hard it is. The wind comes, the rain goes, and the cold  It's not easy to earn so many tens of millions of taels of hard-earned money in the scorching heat, with hard work and worry"

    Emperor Hongzhi looked at Fang Jifan with a hint of mockery in his eyes, and said sternly: "Ten million taels?"

    "No, no." Fang Jifan dared to deceive the emperor, he buried his head and said: "Even if it is hundreds of millions, isn't it still for"

    Emperor Hongzhi didn't have the patience to continue arguing with him. He waved his hand and said: "Okay, I don't want to hear your nonsense, but this matter" Emperor Hongzhi narrowed his eyes and said: "No matter what your intentions are, speaking to outsiders, but  You need to talk about how this railway is beneficial to the national economy and people's livelihood. Once the railway comes out, the world will be in an uproar. Don't always talk about your old city. You must remember one thing. Your original intention was for the imperial court and the foundation of your ancestors.  .¡±

    Fang Jifan immediately said: "I understand, I have written it down."

    But at this moment, the steam train began to slow down slowly.

    Emperor Hongzhi saw that the new city had arrived.

    On his face, he could not hide his joy, but he tried hard to calm down his mood.

    Iactually gave birth to a good son. Except that this guy is always bold, everything seems to be going well.

    Emperor Hongzhi was very pleased and felt very good.

    He is in the midst of this steel monster, but he knows how difficult it is to build this steel monster.

    ¡­¡­¡­¡­

    In carriage number two.

    Xiao Jing screamed in fear at first, but then he gradually realized that it seemed not that bad, it was very safe, and being wrapped in this steel made people feel at ease.

    Liu Jian, Li Dongyang and others fell into deep thought. As figures at the center of power, they naturally thought further. He no longer had the intention to count how many people were sitting in this car, but such a huge thing,  It can actually walk, and now it can transport people, but what about other things?  For example, the grain in the warehouse, such as

    Liu Jian, Li Dongyang, and Xie Qian did not speak.

    ???????????????????? But those waiting for the imperial edict were in the back seat, whispering.

    Yan Xi, the servant, whispered to several Hanlin officials at the side: "Look, just for a mere forty miles of road, it turned out to be such ingenious tricks. Not to mention anything else, how much money was spent on this railway track?  It¡¯s all the people¡¯s hard-earned money What good will this thing do to the world?¡±

    Some Hanlin nodded, and some were thoughtful.

    To be honest, when you look at this thing, you can tell that the cost is quite high. Just for such a big toy for His Royal Highness, how much money does it cost?  With this money distributed to the people, the people's lives will not be so good.

    Wang Bushi stood aside. He felt the railway carefully, and even silently calculated the time from the old city to the new city. Hanlin said at the side: "Scholar Wang, what do you think?"

    Wang Bushi glanced back at Yan Xi and others. He felt that he and Yan Xi were extremely strange, as if they were from two different worlds.

    "Oh" Wang Bushi just said lightly: "Actuallythe money, if you think about itHis Royal Highness, you will find a way to raise it."

    "Look, this will cost tens of millions of taels of silver. Where can we raise the funds?" Yan Xi felt that it was unreasonable for Wang not to be an official. This man was getting weirder and weirder. Others were eager to sell the land in the old city, but he went to  receive.  While everyone else is reading the Four Books and Five Classics, he goes around talking about The Wealth of Nations, and he doesn't fit in with the crowd.

    "Your Majesty is really blind. He actually took a fancy to such a person and entrusted him with such an important task.

    Yan Xi sighed inwardly, and even felt a little dissatisfied. He had much higher qualifications than Wang Bushi, but in the end, he became Wang Bushi's subordinate.

    Wang Bushi smiled and said: "Soon, Yan Shixue will know. Come to think of it, there will always be stupid people who give money to His Highness."

    "Ha" Yan Xi was happy. Stealing people's money is like killing their parents. This king is really stupid if he is not an official.

    Yan Xi secretly exchanged glances with other Hanlin officials. Everyone seemed to be ridiculing him, so they ignored Wang Bushi and hid aside, each expressing his or her own opinions.

    The new city has arrived.

    The train stopped. Immediately afterwards, the train staff outside opened the door bolt, and people swarmed out of their respective carriages.

    After getting out of the car, I suddenly felt like I was in another world.

    Emperor Hongzhi had already got out of the car. He personally supported the Empress Dowager, while Fang Jifan followed behind Emperor Hongzhi.

    Emperor Hongzhi raised his eyes and glanced at the platform - "Baihua Tower - Xincheng Terminal"
