Emperor Chongzhen smiled and asked, "What's the problem?" ”

Hong Chengchou bowed down and said, "Your Majesty, it's a matter of the Yellow River. If you want to build a railway from the capital to Nanzhili, you can't bypass the Yellow River.

The width of the Yellow River is beyond imagination, and in the past, the river was crossed by boat, but to build a railway, it was necessary to build a bridge across the Yellow River, otherwise it would have to be built to the riverbank, and after changing to a ferry, it would be relayed by the train on the opposite bank.

Although it will not delay much, it is one layer worse than having a bridge across the Yellow River. ”

Emperor Chongzhen nodded and said with a smile: "What Aiqing is worried about, I have already thought about it, but there is no good way now."

We can only hope that the Royal Academy and the Ministry of Industry will see how to solve this problem, but if it doesn't work, we can only relay the north and the south.

But what should I do if I just said that? ”

Hong Chengchou opened his mouth, but did not speak.

Emperor Chongzhen looked at Hong Chengchou's embarrassed face, and said with a smile: "What, Hong Aiqing has something he wants to say but doesn't dare to say?" ”

Hong Chengchou bowed down and said: "Your Majesty, Weichen does have some thoughts in his heart, but he is too rebellious, so he doesn't dare to say it." ”

Emperor Chongzhen laughed, knowing what Hong Chengchou meant when he said this, it was estimated that some words would be taboo, saying that he didn't dare to say it, but he was just taking a preventive shot with himself, so as not to wait for a while to say it and then cut off his head in anger after he was angry.

After stopping the laughter, Emperor Chongzhen simply spoke: "Although Aiqing said, I will forgive you for your innocence." ”

Hong Chengchou thanked him at this time, bowed down and said: "Your Majesty has read the scriptures and books, so naturally you know the allusion of King Chu's good face?" ”

Emperor Chongzhen smiled: "I naturally know this. The allusion in "Mozi and Love" is about the thin waist of the king of Chu Ling, so the ministers of the king of Ling all take a meal as a festival, coerce and then bring, and then support the wall and then rise. Compared with the period of the year, there is a dark color in the morning. ”

In later generations, the king of Chu had a thin waist, and he starved to death in the palace, which was the buddy of King Chu Ling, and later it was extended to the saying that the upper part was good, and the lower part must be effective.

Thinking of this, Emperor Chongzhen felt that things were a little wrong.

Ma sells batches, Hong Chengchou, this bastard, won't he hit the idea on the imperial tomb in Fengyang, right?

Fear of something, or Murphy's Law came out again at this time to show his sense of existence.

Hong Chengchou bowed down and said: "Ten thousand ministers are dead, if the train passes by the imperial mausoleum and does not change its route, who else in the world can say anything else?" ”

Emperor Chongzhen laughed angrily.

Although it is said that this Fengyang Imperial Mausoleum has little to do with himself in later generations, and it may not have anything to do with it at all, but now it is different, now it is the ancestral mausoleum of his own family.

If you don't admit it, what will the world think of you?

The word filial piety usually doesn't show anything, but when it comes to a critical time, the effect is great.

Don't say anything else, look at the emperors at the time of the strong man, Emperor Xiaowen, Emperor Xiaojing, Emperor Xiaowu, which one does not have the word filial piety in it?

Even in the Ming Dynasty, except for Emperor Taizu Gao Zhu Yuanzhang, which of the remaining emperors did not have the word filial piety in it?

There really is.

Hongzhi Emperor Zhu Youji, and the posthumously named Zhu Youqi, plus the unlucky child of Tianqi, none of the three of them have the word filial piety in their nicknames.

But the temple number of Emperor Hongzhi is Xiaozong, and Zhu Youqi is also mixed with Ruizong, which is not too bad.

Only Emperor Xizong Tianqi, whether it is the temple number or the name of the emperor, there is no word filial piety.

Even so, the temple number of the Emperor of the Apocalypse is not too bad, after all, there is merit and peace.

Although this is basically made disgusting by those righteous people and gentlemen, it is also countless times stronger than Yang, Yi, and You.

But Emperor Chongzhen is sure that as long as he dares to let the tracks of the train pass next to the ancestral tomb, his temple number will not be finished if he doesn't make a ridiculous, confused, and disgusting thing, unless he kills all the people in the world.

There is no valley in the fierce year; The outside and the inside are from chaos to famine; Happiness and slackness in government are said to be famine; The era of coma is said to be desolate; From the joy is not the wilderness; insults are often said to be desolate;

full of ambition and poverty; to forget the way and say confusion; Obscenity, indulgence, and confusion; The woman's words are used to confuse her; Praise is more poor and confused;

If you don't regret it, you will be angry; Don't think about being obedient; I don't change my feelings.

Emperor Chongzhen, who is now considered a studious and knowledgeable person, found that it was really fucking correct to use it on himself when he thought of these words......

Now they are all worthy of these three words, if they really follow the proposal of Hong Chengchou, a bastard, to let the railroad track pass next to the tomb of their ancestors, then don't think about it, the nickname temple number that is worse than these three words can be made out and placed on his head.

Looking at Hong Chengchou coldly, Emperor Chongzhen said: "Aiqing wants to make me get sixty-five words? ”

This is heavy enough, so heavy that Hong Chengchou directly lay on the ground and pleaded guilty.

The name is divided into upper, middle, and lower.

A total of one hundred and thirty-one admonitions were used on the Shengming Sovereign.

There are a total of 14 edicts, which are used on emperors who have no descendants, or who are more unlucky.

Sixty-five subordinates, such as yang and faint, and even the word "secluded" is better than these sixty-five subordinates.

And Emperor Chongzhen now directly said that Hong Chengchou wanted to get the nickname in the sixty-five subordinates behind him, which is tantamount to saying that Hong Chengchou is guilty of nine misdeeds, and his heart can be punished.

As long as he is not a fool, whoever listens to Emperor Chongzhen's words has to sum it up, and how to ask for guilt in order to get this matter over.

Otherwise, whether you can keep your head will become a big problem.

Hong Chengchou lay on the ground and bowed: "Your Majesty is angry, and the ministers deserve death!" ”

Emperor Chongzhen sneered: "I just said that I will forgive you for your innocence, but I will not sin you for your words, so you should get up." ”

Hong Chengchou didn't get up, but bowed down to the ground and said: "Your Majesty, the words of the guilty minister have not been finished, please be gracious to Your Majesty." ”

Emperor Chongzhen laughed angrily: "Quasi! ”

Hong Chengchou said: "Your Majesty, if the railway is built directly from the capital to Nanzhili, it must pass through Fengyang."

If Fengyang is bypassed, what about the other feudal fiefdoms? What shall be the land of the people?

The land of Fengyang is where the ancestral tomb of the Ming Dynasty is located, if it is more than ten miles next to the ancestral tomb, then everyone in the world is speechless. ”

Emperor Chongzhen said angrily: "From Xuzhou to Yingtianfu, but not through Fengyang!" Do you think that a straight line goes from Shuntian to Yingtian? ”

Hong Chengchou's expression remained unchanged, and he still bowed down to the ground: "Your Majesty, from Xuzhou to Yingtianfu, it is true that you can not pass through Fengyang, but Weichen wants to set up a station outside Fengyang City, please ask Your Majesty for permission." ”

Hong Chengchou is also gambling, anyway, it is a bet left and right, so it is better to bet a little bigger.

As long as this thing is done, there will definitely be no problem with his head, and the impression left on Emperor Chongzhen will also be a positive impression such as being brave and loyal to the king.

However, Hong Chengchou won the bet.

For Emperor Chongzhen, the ancestral tomb is of course important, and his image in the hearts of the people of the world is also important.

But compared with leveling all the opposition forces of the Ming Dynasty and promoting railway transportation, everything is not so important.

Even if Hong Chengchou confessed in Gaocai, saying that the railway would go directly from Xuzhou to Yingtianfu, then Emperor Chongzhen also had a way.

As long as it is built to Xuzhou Station, Emperor Chongzhen will say that it is a pity that such a good thing will not be seen by the ancestors, and it will make the ancestors angry.

And if you want the ancestors to see it, the best way to have fun with them is to build a station in Fengyang not far from the ancestral tomb.

In this way, it will not disturb the rest of the ancestors, but also make the ancestors come and take a look when they are happy.

Kill two birds with one stone.

Moreover, the railroad is a good thing, not only to be repaired, but also to be overhauled and specially repaired, until it is repaired abroad, to repair the railway for other barbarians' homes.

Thinking of the scene where a certain barbarian minister said to their old Buddha: "Lafayette, this Chinese man is coming to build a railway for us", Chongzhen couldn't stop laughing in his heart.

glared at Hong Chengchou coldly, and regardless of whether Hong Chengchou saw it or not, Emperor Chongzhen said, "Get up." ”

Hong Chengchou knew that he had passed the test, and this matter had been tacitly approved by Emperor Chongzhen.

Of course, when I really get there in the future, I can't say if there will be a pot for me to carry.

However, that's all for the future, anyway, this level in front of me is over, and I have also got what I want most - Emperor Chongzhen's attention.

Don't look at Emperor Chongzhen's sneering just now, but as long as he didn't immediately order the Jinyi guard on duty to take off his head, Hong Chengchou knew that the final result would probably be like this.

After getting up from the ground, Hong Chengchou bowed down and said, "Your Majesty is wise, and the crime deserves death." ”

Looking at Hong Chengchou, who was cheap and well-behaved, Emperor Chongzhen sneered: "Ten thousand deaths are too many, one death is enough, Aiqing should do a good job." ”

Hong Chengchou, who was beaten by Emperor Chongzhen, felt a pang in his heart, knowing that it was his own temptation that had begun to make Emperor Chongzhen unhappy.

After settling down, Hong Chengchou said: "Your Majesty, there is still one thing for the minister." ”

Emperor Chongzhen said: "Aiqing just say it, I listen." ”

Hong Chengchou said: "Your Majesty, I think that this train can not only be used to transport goods, but also to transport people.

Taking Shuntianfu to Yingtianfu as an example, the train can transport people day and night, and there are more stations in the middle to facilitate rest, which is much stronger than horse-drawn carriages. Naturally, some of this fee can be charged. ”

Emperor Chongzhen was a little crying and laughing by Hong Chengchou.

Of course, I know that the train transports talents.

But at this speed, there is no faster carriage to transport people, is it useful?

When the time comes, there will still be few people to ride, or mainly freight!

After thinking about it, Emperor Chongzhen simply spoke: "I have also considered what Aiqing said, but now the speed of the train is too slow, and it is not as good as the carriage, so the matter of carrying people is temporarily stopped, and it is still mainly freight." ”

Hong Chengchou bowed down and said: "Your Majesty, from the perspective of the ministers, the speed of the train depends entirely on the front of the train, and in addition, the number of carriages has a great relationship with the amount of goods loaded.

Therefore, the minister thought that a few carriages could be modified first to try to carry people specifically to see how fast it was? ”

Emperor Chongzhen simply waved his hand and said, "That's your Ministry of Railways' business, when the time comes, I'll figure it out myself, I don't care about this matter for the time being." ”

Emperor Chongzhen still used Hong Chengchou to talk about the train transporting people?

In later generations, every year at the end of the year, those bigwigs of the Ministry of Railways were eager to bare their hair, not because of the shortage of transportation capacity caused by the large number of people.

Even if there is a high-speed rail and a bullet train, but there are no freight cars on the railway? Running a passenger train?

If that were the case, the pressure on transporting people would have been greatly reduced, but the resignation of the Minister of Railways was a sure thing - how old is China as a whole, and how much cargo needs to be transferred by train every day?

The current Ming doesn't have to think about this, but it is countless times slower than a horse-drawn carriage, and a train similar to a mule runs to transport people?

Save it.

Therefore, Emperor Chongzhen did not think about this at the beginning, unless he waited until the speed of the locomotive reached the speed of the horse-drawn carriage on a certain day.

But Hong Chengchou obviously doesn't think so.

It doesn't matter if it's fast or slow, it's a big question whether it's there or not.

As long as there is a carriage to transport people first, and slowly more people take the train, you can justifiably force the Royal Academy to find a way to speed up the front of the train.

probably got what he wanted, Hong Chengchou naturally had no reason to stay in the palace anymore - Emperor Chongzhen had already looked at Hong Chengchou unpleasantly, could he still leave him to eat or something?

After Hong Chengchou left the palace, Emperor Chongzhen set his sights on the east again.

After passing through countless mountains and rivers, Emperor Chongzhen seemed to see Huang Taiji smoking Fushou ointment, and sneered: "You smoke, but don't smoke your girl, wait for the master to pass and let you smoke!" ”

It has been almost three full years since Emperor Chongzhen traveled to the Ming Dynasty - from the seventh year of the Apocalypse to the third year of Chongzhen.

In the past three years, Emperor Chongzhen has been worried about two things every moment.

One is the one who delivered the courier, don't know where it came out of nowhere, and then killed the capital with the smoke billowing from his subordinates, and forced himself to hang on the old crooked neck tree.

The other one is Huang Taiji, a bastard.

After all, before he crossed over, Emperor Chongzhen had seen too much praise from the coated minions - the Jurchens were not satisfied with 10,000, and they were invincible.

It was really after crossing over that Emperor Chongzhen discovered that the bullshit was invincible, and even the Zhejiang army under Qi Jiguang almost killed Jiannu, and it was still invincible?

Forget it, there's got to be a limit to bragging, right?

Now that their own soldiers have been trained, the railways have been built, and even the most headache tax problem has been solved, what about the rest?

All that remains is to wait for the railway to be repaired to Shanhaiguan to kill Huang Taiji.
