In Hanzhong City, since the Lantern Festival, people are also busy, after all, the surrounding emerging industries, all kinds of workshops, as well as vendors and pawns have opened, watching the bright silver dollar every day at a speed visible to the naked eye, into their own purse, who has the heart to celebrate the New Year.

With the advent of industrial civilization, the pace of life of the common people in the Ming Dynasty has now become faster, and Zhu Changhao feels that this era has been changed by himself every time he sees the scene of the traders going to the eighteen-mile shop wharf to take a boat in the morning.

Daming's costumes have now changed a lot, with the milk produced by the palace. Cover, as well as the popularity of shape-forming cheongsam, high heels, and leather boots, many women have now fallen in love with these things, and the shape of the pants is now also marked, with thickened cotton, and linen cloth has produced a lot of very tempting clothes, Hanzhong, has now become the vane of Daming fashion vane.

Zhu Changhao will go to the city ship division on the wharf every day to see, in such a small city as Hanzhong, there are 10,000 silver dollars per day, so there will be more than 3 million silver dollars this year, so if it continues, only by the income of the Hanzhong city ship division, it can feed a soldier of more than 40,000 people, and the city ship division has now become a golden doll.

On the second day of the second month of February, the spring breeze has blown along the Hanjiang River valley to the Hanzhong area, this day Zhu Changhao early, to the eighteen-mile shop on the wharf, see that the ironclad passenger ship has been parked, many customers like to sit on this iron guy, do not miss things.

The water transportation of the Han River, starting from Hanzhong, can reach Ya'an to the west, and to the east, it can reach the mouth of the Yangtze River. As long as the water area can be pontoonized, the shipping brigade under the jurisdiction of the palace can reach it.

When the royal business, the post station, and the shipping brigade were finally integrated, the resources were optimized, and from the current situation, the logistics and transportation of Daming have been monopolized by Zhu Changhao, and the water transportation will be the same in the future.

Looking at the peddlers and pawns at the eighteen-mile pier for half an hour, Zhu Changhao found that he should go to the ordnance supervisor to see how the steam locomotive was studied.

In the ordnance prison, Sun Yuanhua went to supervise the matter of land reform, but fortunately, Dai Cang was studying the matter of steam locomotives.

Covered in oil, the big craftsmen of Dai Cang and the Ordnance Supervisor saw that the prince was coming, and immediately came up to pay a salute, but Zhu Changhao immediately stopped him.

Walking into the locomotive R&D workshop, the steam boiler that looks like the driving device of the ironclad ship has been erected, according to Dai Cang's explanation, this is the steam locomotive head that will lay the rails in the future.

Zhu Changhao looked at it for a long time, "Old Dai, you can raise it to pressurize it and put it on the railroad tracks on the island." ”

"Yes, my lord, the humble position will begin here."

With the slow release of the wire noose, the steam locomotive was assembled on the empty trough, and it took almost an hour to assemble, pressurize, add water to the fire, and after resetting, the steam locomotive began to run on the rails of the small island of the ordnance supervisor.

According to the maximum power, there are also locomotive cars in the future, and the fastest speed of this locomotive is a hundred miles in an hour.

After all, the current level of industry is like this.

The steam locomotive was completed in this way, and Zhu Changhao then started a discussion with the people of the Ordnance Supervisor, from the power of the locomotive, the load capacity, and the later models, boiler groups, and the propulsion of the front and rear locomotives.

In the end, it was decided to build a railway from Hanzhong to Nuergandusi, and the end of the railway was in Nuergan, that is, Temple Street.

This railway can be said to be from the geographical center of the Ming Dynasty to Northeast Asia, near the Arctic Ocean.

Once this railway is successfully built, the whole of Northeast Asia will be pulled by the train of the Ming Dynasty, and these areas will not be able to raise any moths in the future. After all, wherever the railway goes, the management power of the Ming Dynasty will also take root here.

The other one is from Jingzhou Prefecture, through Yunnan and Burma, and directly cultivates Punggara in the Bay of Bengal in the Indian Ocean.

In other words, in the next ten years, Ruiwangfu will organize a large number of forces to build a railway to the Northeast Arctic Ocean region, and another to the Mengjiawan region of the Indian Ocean.

This railway, which runs from northeast to southwest, was temporarily settled when Zhu Changhao was inspecting the locomotive head of the ordnance superintendent. In this way, the main artery will be handed over to the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Commerce, and the construction of other short-distance railways in the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Changhao plans to take care of himself, and let the second housekeeper Zhang Gongli be responsible, after all, he will not be the emperor in the future, and it is good to be a chaebol to play when he is old.

In the Ordnance Supervisor, the Academy of Sciences of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Changhao and Dai Cang determined the finalization of the locomotive head, as well as the future specifications, after returning to the palace, they immediately greeted Song Yingxing, Sun Chuanting, Li Zhizao, Xu Guangqi, Qu Shiyun and others who were still on duty in the palace together and held a summary meeting.

The first request of the meeting was to determine the production of steam locomotives and the construction of a railway from Nuergan to Malacca. On that map of the Ming Dynasty, the length of this road was measured by a ruler, almost 30,000 miles, and the geological conditions in the southwest region are complex, the mountains and ravines are deep, and the mountains and rivers are intertwined.

Just when everyone was about the construction of the 30,000-mile railway, "Ladies and gentlemen, this king knows the complexity of this railway, so let's do it, how about we build a railway from Hanzhong to Xi'an Mansion first, and then from Xi'an Mansion to Jingshi?" ”

Everyone thought about it for a moment before nodding and saying yes.

In addition, this railway was built to Beijing, and the iron ore and coal mines along the way can be developed, such as the coal mines in Shanxi, as well as Qian'an and Handan in the North Zhili region, which are all excellent sources of iron ore.

After Zhu Changhao finished talking about coal mines and iron mines, he said from the labor point of view, "In the future, the prisoners of war who will fight can be used to mine coal mines, iron mines, and build railways." If we can, we can also entrust the construction of these railways to some chaebol families and noble families, so that they can build them for us, and we can pay for them when the time comes. ”

Speaking of this, Zhu Changhao found that everyone's appetite was raised, and he took a sip of sake, "Ladies and gentlemen, don't underestimate the construction of the railway, this is a very profitable job." You see, in addition to coal mines, iron mines, there are also timber, after all, sleepers are placed under the rails. This wood needs to be brought from outside, right? Also, the grain and rice purchased during the construction of the railway is a large amount......

Therefore, under the leadership of the royal government, the railway can be cut into sections and built for us by those who have the strength, which is called "contracting" here. It means to take on our goals and tasks, package them with tasks, let them do them, and then we pay them a certain amount of money.

After explaining the concept of "contracting", Zhu Changhao said, "Isn't it convenient to build to various places?" As soon as the transportation is convenient, can't the local products be transported or mined? Therefore, the construction of a railway not only allowed our Ming Dynasty to strengthen the management of the local people and stabilize the frontier, but also played a decisive role in enriching the people and strengthening the country of the Ming Dynasty. ”

After Zhu Changhao analyzed these and answered a few questions, everyone agreed with this plan. As a result, in accordance with the requirements of today's meeting, the matter of railway construction was published in the Daming Daily, and by the way, people who were able to come to the Damingrui Palace to discuss the contracting matter.

After Wang Yazheng published these things in the Daming Daily, the result caused an uproar, after all, the imperial court is now a monopoly on salt and iron, and your Rui Wangfu is really too rich, and he actually uses steel to build roads, and he also uses merchants, those merchants who are full of copper smell, can they do these road construction work? Besides, from ancient times to the present, the work of road construction has been carried out by the chief official of the Ministry of Works, using labor, and now it is actually spending, and you have no place to spend the money of Prince Rui?

When the entire Ming Dynasty was boiling over, Uncle Wang sent a letter saying that Wu Keshan, the head of Horqin, that is, Zhu Changhao's brother-in-law, would arrive in Hanzhong soon.

For this letter, it should be said that it is more appropriate to say that it is a family letter. Zhu Changhao took it back and asked Bumu Butai to take a look, but Bumu Butai just nodded.

Zhu Changhao found out that this woman of his, why is she a little shy and silent today? couldn't help but ask more, "Yu'er, are you in, just say what you have to say, we are all old husbands and wives!" ”

At this time, Bu Mu Butai was even more embarrassed, and said in a thin voice, "Lord Wang, the concubines are eighteen years old this year!" After saying that, he stomped his feet.

Zhu Changhao pondered for a while, and then realized that he had said that when he was eighteen years old, he was going to "eat" her, and snatched Bumu Butai from Huang Taiji's hands, and it had been more than three years, and it should be time to put her in his mouth.

"Yu'er, this king understands, you wait, in a few days you wash the fragrant, this king makes you comfortable to the clouds", after speaking, Zhu Changhao gave Bu Mu Butai a "you know" expression.

With hope in his heart, Bumu Butai immediately returned to his dormitory and looked in the mirror. Zhu Changhao asked Hua Zhilian to go north to meet Wu Keshan, the head of Horqin, and took this time to go to the twelve departments of the three provinces to examine his family background.

Three days later, outside the east gate of Hanzhong City, Zhu Changhao took his daughter's family to greet Wu Keshan.

It turned out that Wu Keshan came to Hanzhong this time and brought a beautiful woman named Borzigit and Hai Lanzhu.

Just when Hai Lanzhu saluted Zhu Changhao, Bu Mu Butai ran up and hugged Hai Lanzhu all of a sudden, "Sister, Sister, Sister wants you to die." ”

Hai Lanzhu also hugged Bumu Butai excitedly, and actually shed tears, maybe Hai Lanzhu touched the scene and fell in love!

On the way back to the house, on the nine carriages, Zhu Changhao and Wu Keshan sat together, chatting for a while, Wu Keshan suddenly squeezed his eyebrows and said, "Brother-in-law, this time this king has sent you a woman, Hai Lanzhu, this king's sister-in-law, our most beautiful woman in Horqin, will be handed over to you!" ”

When Zhu Changhao heard this, he shouted in his heart, "Oh, immortal God, how can there be a brother who pulls a skin for his sister. Strips? ”
