With the increasing development of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Cijiong has gradually increased the number of things to deal with, from the end of the New Year to the present, he basically has no free time, there are things everywhere all day long, he is busy and dizzy, at this time he finally realized the hard work of being an emperor, and it is really tiring to manage such a superpower as the Ming Dynasty.

Anyway, doesn't he have a royal folding machine, he doesn't need to approve this folding machine, he is still tired, so his previous emperor is not all tired!

He doesn't need to review it, but Daming is in a period of vigorous development, and there are many things, and there are many things that he can't handle in person.

Like the second batch of arms sold to the European continent, who would dare to send it if he didn't speak, so before the end of the New Year, he had to arrange for the Ministry of Industry to prepare the arms to be sent to the European continent before the 16th day of the first lunar month, and also arrange for the Nanyang Navy Division to go to the European continent to deliver the goods.

As soon as the munitions were dispatched, he had to make arrangements for the large-scale development of the northwest, and it was best for him to go, because the development of the northwest was not only a local matter, but also had to command 300,000 reserve corps to participate, and ordinary people really couldn't do it.

However, if he wants to go to the northwest in person, the development of other places will stagnate again, think about it, he has to appoint Chen Zilong as the governor of the three provinces, in charge of the military and political affairs of Shaanxi, Shanxi, and Henan provinces, this is a test for Chen Zilong, but also a test for military and political officials at all levels in the northwest, if everything has to be done by him personally, then he will really be tired to death, this time he just wants to see, a governor of the Qin command does not command all the officials in the northwest, if the command does not move, then it is embarrassing, who is disobedient, He will cut whomever he wants!

After arranging the affairs of the northwest, he also arranged for Sun Chuanting to lead the Qin army to take nearly 200,000 prisoners to start digging the roadbed of the Jingkai line, according to the plan of the previous year, he was originally going to directly build the railway from the capital to Nanzhili, but at this time, he could only build the railway from the capital to Kaifeng first, because the personnel were really insufficient. Before he planned to build the railway, he did not expect to expand the capital, at this time most of the labor is busy in Xicheng District, and he has to divide people to lay the telegraph network, and the railway can only be repaired halfway first.

Just after arranging for these machinery factories to be built again, the earth dragon has also been built, he has to personally go to observe and guide, and then it will be tested, the test has just finished the cement and built again, he also has to teach people how to use cement, the problem of this cement has just finished teaching the palace test and started again, and when the palace test is busy, the cable factory has been put into operation again, and he has to preside over the test of telegraph communication and the laying of the telegraph network, and when the telegraph matter is busy, Zhu Cijiong thought that he could finally take a breath, and as a result, something more important came.

Because the steel plant has been put into operation again, the steel plant has been put into operation, which means that it can produce rail steel in large quantities, and the railway from Beijing to Kaifeng can finally begin to be laid, Sun Chuanting has led the Qin army to dig with 200,000 prisoners for nearly two months, and the roadbed of the Jingkai line has already been dug up, and he is assisting the officials of the Ministry of Industry in building the railway bridge along the line.

To say that this bridge-building technology, the Ming Dynasty was already quite advanced, and the bridge of more than 100 meters long was difficult to meet the bridge experts of the Ministry of Engineering, but this time it was stumped by this group of bridge experts. Other small rivers are good to say, with a large cement pier, three times and two times to repair the past, but the Beijing-Kaifeng line is to cross the Yellow River, a few miles wide of the river, the difficulty of the bridge to repair can be imagined, if there is no cement and steel bars, the bridge experts of the Ministry of Engineering do not dare to try at all.

Fortunately, it is the dry season, the flow of the Yellow River is not large, and many places have exposed the sandbars in the middle of the river.

At this time, more than 200 miles north of Kaifeng, in the middle of the Yellow River, there are nearly 300,000 people like ants moving huge arched steel connectors, dozens of more than 10 meters high giant bridge piers like optimus jade pillars standing in the middle of the river, near a sandbar pier there are several large Fu boats, look at the posture, these people are actually going to lift the huge arch steel connector on the big Fu boat!

Although the weather was still a little cold, everyone was busy on the beach in the river with their feet alone, and some people were even immersed in the water, as if they didn't know what the cold was.

On the sandbar near the Fuchuan, there was also a group of people dressed as officials who were discussing together, and they were also standing there barefoot, looking at their flushed faces, where is it cold on this day, is it clearly hot!

In fact, the weather is still a little cold, the reason why they are flushed is excited, these are the officials and bridge experts of the Ministry of Engineering responsible for the construction of the Yellow River Bridge, as soon as the bridge piers are erected, the trench is equivalent to being overcome, can they not be excited!

One of the bridge experts looked at the huge piers and sighed: "I can't believe it, we actually did it, building a bridge on the Yellow River, I really couldn't think of it before!" “

An official of the Ministry of Industry immediately patted Zhu Cijiong's fart and said: "If the emperor hadn't come up with this magical cement, we really wouldn't have had any way to take this Yellow River moat." “

Another official of the Ministry of Industry immediately relayed: "Yes, yes, the emperor is really wise and powerful, and he can think of something as magical as cement." “

At this time, another bridge expert shouted in surprise: "Lift it over, lift it over, they have already lifted the steel keel of the bridge arch to the side of the Dafu ship, Lord Xu, you go and command them to use the hoist to transfer the steel keel to the ship." “

When Lord Xu heard this, he immediately ran in the direction of the Daifuku boat, and at this time, another bridge expert looked at the top of a bridge pier and said worriedly: "I don't know if I can hang it up at such a height, if the steel chain is broken, it will be troublesome." ”

At this time, the official of the Ministry of Industry who had just made a sycophant immediately pretended to be forced: "Don't worry, don't look at the big steel keel, in fact, it is not heavy, and it is only about a thousand catties to die, when I was in Wang Gong's factory, I commanded people to hang two or three thousand catties of cannon barrels, and even hung more than ten kilograms, and there was no problem at all." “

......

At the beginning of April, news came from Kaifeng that the Yellow River Bridge was successfully built!

Zhu Cijiong almost jumped up with joy when he heard the news, and kept muttering: "A bridge flies north and south, the moat becomes a thoroughfare, a thoroughfare, the Yellow River Bridge has been built, will the Yangtze River Bridge be far away, I want to build the railway to every corner of the Ming Dynasty, I want to ......." “

He hasn't been happy for two days, but Chen Zilong has come to play and urge, the time for sowing is about to come, why hasn't the dragon arrived yet, even if it arrives in Kaifeng, what should I do in Shaanxi, what should I do in Shanxi?

What to do, naturally it is to build a railway to pull it over, Zhu Cijiong gritted his teeth, and directly ordered Sun Chuanting to immediately lead the Qin army to build the railway from Kaifeng to Xi'an with 200,000 prisoners, and ordered Qin Gongming to lead the Liao army to take 200,000 prisoners to build the railway from Taiyuan to Kaifeng, as for the construction of Xicheng District, the main body has been completed anyway, and the rest of the things will be done by the Ministry of Industry to recruit tens of thousands of migrant workers.
