Regarding the steam train, Yinzhen did not disclose it before, and the R&D funds used were all paid by Yinzhen himself, but the railway is different, and this cost still has to be paid by the household department.

In recent years, the government has been a lot clearer, and the household tax has become more and more complicated, and the tax paid by the merchants has become one of the important sources of the household department.

In the first two years, Yinzhen built a test field, in which some new varieties will be produced every year, all of which are high-yield crops, and there is a study of how to maximize the use of farm fertilizer.

Slowly, from the capital as the center, all parts of the Qing Dynasty began to plant new seeds, new crops, and new fertilizers, even if a natural disaster came, as long as the local parents and officials had a little brain, they knew that it was too easy to be seen if they were greedy, so basically there were sufficient relief food in the yamen everywhere.

In terms of disaster relief, the household department has removed the bulk of food, and the rest of the expenditure is much less.

In the end, it was agreed that the first railway to be built was from the capital to Jiangnan, and the route was roughly the same as the route of the last cruise to Jiangnan.

To this end, under Yun Rong's prompting, Yinzhen established a new department, the Railway Bureau, which is responsible for this matter, including the construction of the railway, and the follow-up operation of the railway.

Yun Rong needs to do experiments to use materials to have standards, the existing smelting in the Qing Dynasty naturally can not meet the standard, so Yun Rong has been improving in smelting and purification, and now some of the materials used in the construction of technical railways can meet the needs of railway hardware.

Many vein ores in the Qing Dynasty were in the hands of the imperial court, especially metal ores, and gold and silver ore and iron ore in metal ores.

The former is the economic lifeblood of a country, and iron ore is related to a country's weapon, that is, military strength.

Therefore, it is easy to obtain iron ore resources.

Yinzhen, the person in charge of the railway, was not at ease to hand it over to others, so he handed it over to Fucha Mingsi, who was originally responsible for the research and development of steam trains, and now it is appropriate for him to preside over the railway bureau, he is stupid, but he is a person who can do things.

The railway is not in a hurry, the Qing Dynasty is now the country and the people are safe, the economy is prosperous, Yinzhen does not want to rush for the railway, although the railway has a lot of benefits, but this thing can not be done overnight.

At least we can't waste money and money, and we must ensure that the quality is passed.

The Grand Canal is also a project that benefits the livelihood bank, but the people who built it have become one of the representatives of the tyrant.

Yinzhen is not in a hurry, this first railway Yinzhen plans to build it in three years, and for this era, it is just right not to be fast or slow.

At the beginning, Yinzhen proposed to build a railway, and some people in the DPRK and China immediately objected, saying that it would cost the people and money.

"Qi to the emperor, the slave feels inappropriate, the slave listens to what the emperor said, if this railway is built, it will not be completed overnight, in the long run, it is not conducive to the development of the Qing Dynasty, and I hope the emperor will act cautiously."

Some people are against it, some people are in favor, and the most in favor of them is Zhu Tao, others may not know how much benefit the railway has, can he still be unclear?

If there is a railway, it will be fast to go out in the future, and besides, at least there will be a lot less bumps, although the carriage has rubber tires, Yunrong has also made a series of shock-absorbing measures such as springs, but the carriage can not avoid some bumps even if it is on the cement road.

If Zhu Tao has been living in ancient times, he will naturally be satisfied, but after taking a modern car and plane, he naturally feels that the carriage cannot be seen, since the emperor wants to build a railway, it must be a train, no matter what kind of train, the train is much more lovely than the carriage.

Zhu Tao immediately stood up: "Lord Shilang's words are not right, the emperor has already said that if the railway is successfully built, it will be many times faster than riding a thousand-mile horse, such things that benefit the country and the people, how can it not be conducive to the development of the Qing Dynasty. ”

Next, some people objected and some agreed, Yinzhen saw that they were almost arguing, and said: "I know Zhong Aiqing's concerns, if this is not the case, I will take you to see the railway and train in three days, and then agree after reading it." ”

Now they don't agree because they are afraid that the railway will work hard and will not be effective, and when they feel it for themselves, they will inevitably rush to it at that time, and it is estimated that they are the ones who rush to agree.

Yinzhen is very confident in the train, not for the side, people are enjoying animals, with a train and bicycles have to pull aside, not to mention a carriage.

In fact, what Yin Zhen didn't say was that Yun Rong made a steam car a few days ago, similar to a modern car, of course, it was slightly lacking in function.

This steam car, Yinzhen but also useful.

The courtiers naturally have no opinion on Yinzhen's proposal, and they don't suffer when they see it, if it's really as good as the emperor said, the construction of the railway will not suffer a loss, if not, they also have a reason to refute it.

It doesn't do them any harm.

Three days later, the steam car made by Yunrong appeared outside the palace gate.

The new shape, the ancients have never seen this appearance, early in the morning one after another gathered here, even if they are courtiers with a lot of power, they can't avoid talking like a street gossip.

"Does anyone know what it is? The guards next to him are the emperor's imperial guards, what is it? ”

"I also want to know, I sent someone to ask, but I didn't ask anything, I just said that the emperor ordered the guards, and the idle people couldn't get close."

"Why is it so mysterious, and you are not allowed to get close."

"Maybe it's inconvenient for us to say."

……

Others don't know what it is, but Zhu Tao does, although the appearance has changed a little, but he can always recognize the appearance of a car.

really shocked him, he knew that the emperor might have some magical experience, after all, his own experience was quite magical, so he was happy to pretend to be stupid.

He thought that the emperor built cement roads, built bookstores, attached importance to education, cared about people's livelihood, and developed the economy...... These always have to be taken step by step, even if the emperor proposed to build a railway, Zhu Tao's idea was that the steam train was already being prepared, and now when he saw this car, Zhu Tao understood that the steam train technology was mature.

Originally, he was worried about whether there would be any problems, after all, he had never heard of the emperor working this before.

Now it seems that Zhu Tao underestimated the current development status of the Qing Dynasty.

Zhu Tao was surprised, but he was very happy, he can't seem to go back now, he has taken root in the Qing Dynasty, if the Qing Dynasty can develop steadily for a long time, he may be able to leave his name in history.

When I first came, I thought it was too beautiful, but later I was taught to be a man by reality, and now I only want a peace and wealth, if I can leave a name for future generations, no one is willing to refuse.

Zhu Tao thought about it a lot, and then secretly made a decision in his heart, he would definitely be a person who would be famous for eternity in the future, as for how to do it, with an emperor with extraordinary origins, what he naturally had to do was to support his measures everywhere.

Zhu Tao thought about it so intently, it seemed that he was a little distracted, and his colleague said: "Lord Zhu is not curious? ”

Zhu Tao said: "Naturally, I am also curious, but since the emperor has taken out the things, he will definitely solve our doubts, just wait." ”

"That's what Master Zhu said."

It didn't take long for Yinzhen to come over, but Yun Rong didn't follow this time, after all, it was really inconvenient.

The person who drove the car was determined to be Liang Jiugong, and Yinzhen would too, but because of his identity, if it was not necessary, Yinzhen would not drive in person.

"See the Emperor's ......"

"Zhong Aiqing is flat."

When everyone got up, Yin Zhen said: "This is a steam car, what I will take you to see today is a steam train, and I will take this steam car to walk in front later." ”

Immediately, someone jumped out to object: "Your Majesty, the safety of this steam car needs to be verified, and I hope the emperor will think twice before acting!" ”
