Emperor Chongzhen didn't think about asking his courtiers to answer, and said with a little pride: "Actually, someone of you Aiqing should be able to think of it." That's right, it's a car driven by a steam engine, I call this a train, after all, it's a car powered by fire! ”

Speaking of this, he stood up, glanced at the courtiers, and waved his hand again: "Let's go, I will take you to see this new type of transportation, hehe, don't underestimate it, this can bring earth-shaking changes to Daming." “

After finishing speaking, Emperor Chongzhen didn't sit down, just walked on his own, took a group of courtiers, walked out of the door of Wenhua Palace, and walked back mightily.

These high-ranking officials of the Ming Dynasty, although they followed behind Emperor Chongzhen, did not walk silently like those palace maids. They walked together in twos and threes, whispering about it.

For these courtiers, there is a recognized fact that in terms of the level of scientific and technological knowledge, no one can compare with Xu Guangqi, the secretary of the ministry. Therefore, several people came to Xu Guangqi's side.

Auxiliary minister Xue Guoguan asked in a low voice: "Xu Shangshu, the train that the emperor said is a steam carriage?" ”

When he said this, he was a little sure in his heart, otherwise he would not be ashamed to ask this, but directly asked what kind of train it was!

"Yes, listening to what Your Majesty said, it should be a steam engine instead of a horse pulling a cart, isn't it a steam carriage!" The interest of the military department Shangshu Shen Yongmao was also very high, and he interjected interestingly.

Xu Guangqi nodded when he heard this, and saw that a group of colleagues were looking at him, so he replied: "There is not much lake in this Forbidden City that can run steam steamers, besides, Your Majesty has already said that it is a car driven by a steam engine, and it is estimated that it is the steam carriage that Xue Ge Lao said!" ”

Hearing the "authoritative" explanation, all the ministers turned their heads to look at Emperor Chongzhen walking in front of them, and some people were a little puzzled, only to see the auxiliary minister Zhang Zhifa ask Xu Guangqi: "Xu Shangshu, this steam carriage, no, what is special about this train, can you make Your Majesty say that it will bring earth-shaking changes to the Ming Dynasty?" ”

"Yes, if it's just a steam engine instead of a horse, it seems that the cost of raising a car is very high, and if you think about it again, will I wait for the court in the future, and all of them will go to court in a steam carriage? Then ...... on this street" Shen Yongmao listened, frowned and said this, a little afraid to imagine it.

If what the emperor said brought earth-shaking changes to the Ming Dynasty, it means that in the future, the streets of the Ming Dynasty will be full of this kind of steam carriage, and a steam engine will be noisy enough. And there will be smoke, and when the time comes, I'm afraid that this Jingshi will become a fog capital!

However, there are convenient places, and there will be no more livestock pooping on the street, and it will be cleaner. You don't even have to worry about whether you have enough coal to carry with the car, anyway, there are so many steam carriages, if there are no more on the road, it is not a big deal to find another steam carriage to embezzle a few pieces of coal......

Thinking of this, Shen Yongmao shuddered, as if this advantage of this steam carriage seemed to be negligible compared to the disadvantages. That's it, can it bring earth-shaking changes to Daming?

Shen Yongmao thought of it, and so did the other courtiers. When they looked at each other, they could see the incomprehension and helplessness in each other's eyes. This kind of steam carriage, the emperor seems to have praised it to the sky, this ......

Later, should I compliment the emperor and say that this steam carriage is good, or should I play it according to the facts, don't do this steam carriage!

But now that the emperor is vigorously promoting scientific and technological knowledge, if anyone dares to go against this general trend, can this official still be able to do so?

Thinking so, someone turned their gaze to the front and looked at the first and second assistants. The heavy responsibility of this kind of exhortation should come forward from the two heads of the hundred officials, right?

Or Xue Guoguan's temperament is relatively straightforward, and he thinks of what to say, or he is recommended by Wen Tiren, and the relationship is relatively good. I saw him walk a few steps quickly, came to Wen Tiren's back, and whispered, "Lord Shoufu, don't you think that this steam carriage seems to be ...... It seems to be a bit of a waste of money and money, and it seems that it is far less useful than ordinary carriages! ”

Seeing Wen Tiren looking sideways, Xue Guoguan glanced at Emperor Chongzhen in front of him, and whispered about the various defects of the steam carriage.

Actually, there is no need for him to say it, Wen Tiren himself knows it. He frowned and didn't speak, just walked behind Emperor Chongzhen. Sun Chengzong on the side also frowned, also listening.

On the other hand, Cao Huachun, the eunuch who was in charge of the palm print, and the eunuchs who followed him behind his buttocks, turned their heads to look at them one by one, with some inexplicable expressions on their faces, as if they were a little disdainful, or a little bit of the feeling that people in the city looked at hillbillies.

Although they didn't speak, the demeanor they showed made many Wenchen see it. At this moment, those Wenchen wondered.

It stands to reason that Wenchen will have a natural sense of superiority over these men who are missing parts on their bodies. The expressions on the faces of these eunuchs now should be what they have, right? They are not stupid, they can see that it should be the matter of this steam carriage that makes these eunuchs show their contempt for these civil officials.

I turned my head and thought about it carefully, but I didn't find anything wrong with my idea of a steam carriage! In this way, they are even more depressed, what is wrong?

Wen Tiren didn't speak, just listened, and he also saw the expressions of Cao Huachun and other eunuchs, and he was also pondering in his heart. Wait until Xue Guoguan finishes speaking, look at him with blank eyes, and wait for him to take an attitude. I saw Wen Tiren looking up at Emperor Chongzhen who was walking in front of him.

He didn't believe it, the emperor didn't hear Xue Guoguan's words, although he whispered, but the distance was not far! But the emperor was indifferent, as if he didn't hear it, which seemed to be an attitude.

Thinking like this, Wen Tiren showed a serious expression with his understanding of Emperor Chongzhen, and his voice was a little louder, so he made sure that Emperor Chongzhen could hear it, so he heard him say to Xue Guoguan: "You are also a minister of the Ming Dynasty, don't you know that everything has a gradual process." In particular, the application of this scientific and technological knowledge is embodied in this steam engine, and this is even more so! Although there are still many shortcomings of the steam carriage, as long as it is continuously improved, there will come a time when this steam carriage will be better than the ordinary carriage......"

As he said this, he looked at Cao Huachun, who was walking in the same row with him, and when he saw his expressionless face, his eyes swept back, and he found that several eunuchs showed a hint of surprise.

In this way, he knew in his heart that he should be right. So, he continued to teach Xue Guoguan: "As an assistant minister of the Ming Dynasty, your vision can't be limited to the present. This steam carriage has brought earth-shaking changes to the Ming Dynasty, which refers to the future, after improvement. Now, what we need to do is to work hard to improve the steam wagon ...... in accordance with the Holy Will."

The other civil officials were also listening, they didn't expect that on the side of Shousuke, it would become a future steam carriage, which would bring earth-shaking changes to the Ming Dynasty; But what the emperor said just now, it doesn't seem to be the future, it didn't say that it was after improvement, right?

Shousuke admits that today's steam carriage is a bit out of reach, but people don't talk about this shortcoming, and they don't deny this shortcoming, but talk about the future!

It's no wonder, the first assistant is the first assistant, it seems that it is better to learn a little!

Sun Chengzong, the second assistant who has been silent, is a little disdainful, some things, there are one to say, two to say, but he can't take care of the emperor's face and play Tai Chi. Walking silently, he has already made up his mind, and he will be blunt after a while, and the steam carriage will be improved if it continues to improve, but if you want to promote it on a large scale unrealistically, so as to bring earth-shaking changes to the Ming Dynasty, don't do it!

Talking, thinking, walking, and at the end, all the officials stopped talking.

Along the way, the palace maids and attendants saw Emperor Chongzhen coming to the imperial garden with these scarlet-robed officials, and they all saluted with a very special expression. It's like a child, when he finds something interesting, he secretly puts it in front of his elders, waiting for the elders to find out and be surprised.

Finally, when he arrived at the gate of the Imperial Garden, Emperor Chongzhen stopped, moved for a while, and his spirit was much better, looking at the courtiers who also stopped, he said with a smile: "Ladies and gentlemen, I let you open your eyes, this train can bring earth-shaking changes to the Ming Dynasty, and it is not alarmist!" ”

Speaking of this, he glanced at Wen Tiren again, and then said with a smile: "If this train is not improved, I will not be able to do it, but now that you Aiqing has a look, it can already be promoted, and it can bring earth-shaking changes to Daming!" ”

Speaking of this, Emperor Chongzhen turned around and strode into the imperial garden.

The dead eunuchs basically glanced at the queue of civil officials, and then followed up one by one with that kind of superior look.

On the contrary, the civil officials were all stunned. Because what the emperor just said seems to be different from the result they thought! However, when they think about it carefully, they can't understand how this steam carriage will bring earth-shaking changes to Daming, is it so exaggerated?

If you don't understand, you don't want to. In fact, there is no time, the emperor has already entered, and it is not good for them to stay at the gate of this imperial garden all the time to think about things.

The civil officials headed by Wen Tiren had just entered the imperial garden, and when they looked up, there was a behemoth in front of the emperor, which was completely different from the steam carriage they thought.

Just by looking at it like this, they all know that they are afraid that they are thinking wrong. No matter how much I thought about it, I never thought that this steam carriage, no, no, it was a train, could be so long!

When Emperor Chongzhen saw that his courtiers had all come in, he ordered several guards who were already waiting: "Burn the fire and prepare to start!" ”

Then he turned his head to look at the courtiers who were staring at the train, and introduced them with great interest: "You Aiqing should have been able to see that this train is not just a carriage, as long as the power of the steam engine is enough, it can pull as many carriages as possible!" ”

Speaking of this, Emperor Chongzhen pointed to the ground again and said: "Zhuqing, look here, this train is sliding on this railroad, which reduces the frictional resistance as much as possible, allowing the same power to pull as many carriages as possible, and the train will move on this railroad track, it will be very stable." To be precise, a train is actually composed of two parts, one is a locomotive and the other is a railroad track. Let's not talk about anything else, all of you get on the train, let's experience this train first! “

The carriages of this train are not enclosed, but the kind of sightseeing. Emperor Chongzhen put the first experimental train in the imperial garden, but also for a purpose, a large number of wives in the family are usually idle, and they can be pulled by a train to circle in this imperial garden to add an entertainment program.

However, at this time, it was Emperor Chongzhen who got on the train first, and then Cao Huachun and others followed, and after coming back to their senses in surprise, the civil officials followed one by one and got on the train in turn.

So many people, in fact, only occupy one carriage, and there are three carriages hanging in the back, all of which are empty.

In a few moments, the train was moving, not very fast, and slowly moving along the pre-laid tracks in the Imperial Garden.

On the train, Emperor Chongzhen looked at these ancient people with a smile and did not speak. And these highest-ranking officials of the Ming Dynasty did not speak one by one, but were just experiencing the feeling of riding a train.

After a lap, the train slowly stopped near the entrance of the Imperial Garden.

I don't know when, at this door, there are already hundreds of attendants. Many civil officials are a little puzzled, could it be that so many people are called to carry this train?

Emperor Chongzhen waited for the train to stop, and then said to his courtiers with a smile: "Zhuqing, how about another circle?" ”

After finishing speaking, he didn't wait for the courtiers to answer, so he waved his hand and signaled, so many attendants, and boarded the empty carriage behind him in order. They don't have the preferential treatment of these ministers, one by one, and then they continue to squeeze the next one when they fill one carriage. Then hundreds of waiters were finally loaded into the carriage.

Then the train started again, still slowly, steadily. Seeing this, many courtiers were surprised on their faces, turned their heads to look at the carriage behind, and silently estimated in their hearts how many people this train could pull at one time!

At this time, many of them already understand a little bit why the emperor said that this train can bring earth-shaking changes to the Ming Dynasty!

Sun Chengzong wiped a sweat in his heart, and he didn't speak, otherwise he would have been slapped in the face! Thinking so, he looked at Wen Tiren and found that he didn't blush at all. When he turned his head to look at Xue Guoguan and the others, he finally found signs of blushing.

In fact, Wen Tiren's face is not red, but his heart is red. At this time, he finally understood why those dead eunuchs had such expressions when they listened to his side. But fortunately, I was smarter and didn't advise. This Xue Guoguan is too, and he was almost cheated by this goods!
