The central Great Plains of North Yinzhou.

The middle line of the Pacific Railway, which crosses the continent and connects the two oceans.

Long before the founding of the Fourth Empire of the Ming Dynasty, the construction of this railway had already begun.

The Prashi Coal Mine, where Zhu Fugui worked that year, was a supporting project of this railway, and Tang Sangui, a minister of the Ming Dynasty, was a regular worker of the Pacific Railway Company.

As for the manpower, capital, and even the first angel investment from the Vanderbilt family, after the creation of Daming Cao, are inseparable from this railway.

It can be said that the significance of the Pacific Railway to the Fourth Empire of the Ming Dynasty is no less than the significance of the Sichuan-Han Railway in the Baolu Movement to the Republic of China.

Of course, it's a bit unlucky to make an analogy with this thing.

Zhu Fugui sat on the royal special train, and the train had already passed through the cotton fields of Xinshu and crossed the first railway bridge on the New Yangtze River.

The vast plain still seems to be boundless, and there is no edge in sight.

In his previous life, Zhu Fugui, as a native of Zhejiang, once took the high-speed train to Beijing.

When the train crossed the Yangtze River and entered northern Jiangsu and North China, Zhu Fugui, who had lived in a flat land since he was a child, was stunned by the boundless wheat waves for the first time.

It turns out that there is such a thing as a horizon.

The ends of the earth can really be flat, not a series of distant mountains.

And now, although Zhu Fugui's royal special train is far less galloping than the high-speed rail of later generations, his eyes are vaguely full of the customs of the year.

And Zhu Fugui knows that in this world's most extensive black soil plain, the land is even more fertile than North China.

Today, the more than 300,000 agricultural reclamation troops of the Ming Dynasty have still only developed less than one-tenth of them.

To Zhu Fugui's relief, the industrial layout of Yin Nong Shengong has now slowly begun to appear.

After all, Shenzhou has a lot of manpower, Yinzhou has a lot of resources, and the industrial division of labor and complementary development are the best.

If the integration is complete, the potential of Daming will be unlimited.

Not to mention anything else, imagine what is the concept of the combination of eagles and rabbits in the future?

Not to mention Japan, South Korea, North Korea, and ASEAN.

So to be honest, Zhu Fugui has no interest in invading Europe and establishing colonies in Europe.

Now he just wants to guard his 100 million acres and three points of land, and cultivate his internal strength in peace.

More than a month later, Zhu Fugui returned to Fengdu from Washington, D.C., and it was already the height of summer.

This is a journey of nearly 5,000 kilometers, and the Pacific Railway is not a new passenger railway around Fengdu, and its main function is to transport goods.

Even with all the privileges of the Royal Train, the average speed of other trains was only 60 kilometers per hour under the command of the Railway Bureau.

This time when he returned to Fengdu, the Son of Heaven was very low-key and did not have any welcome ceremony.

Nowadays, the traffic is becoming more and more convenient, and Zhu Fugui has learned from Zulong to parade more and more frequently.

Therefore, the people of Fengdu only heard the news of the return of the Son of Heaven to Luan from the Fengdu News Radio.

In the royal resort area of Xinjin coastal beach, Zhu Fugui met the long-lost little elk classmate.

The two hadn't seen each other for two years and nine months.

Julie brought back two children to Zhu Fugui......

Ahem,

Not her child, of course, but the child of her best friend, Princess Sissi.

It's said that it's a child, but it's actually not a young age, but Princess Sissi got married at the age of 15 and gave birth to her first daughter 10 months later, so the age difference between mother and daughter is about the same.

And although Julie is already a 32-year-old young woman, she stands next to her two nieces as if they are sisters.

Princess Sissi's eldest daughter, Sophia, is 21 years old, and her second daughter, Gisela, is 20 years old......

It can be seen that this princess Sisi is indeed very good to give birth.

Zhu Fugui felt that the Zhang family should have a successor.

"Sophia" is actually the name of Princess Sissi's mother-in-law, Franz's mother, Archduke Sophia.

Without her daughter-in-law's consent, she took it off with her own name.

Whether it is the Austro-Hungarian royal family or the single-willed royal family, the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law is YYDS all over the world.

It's just that the grandmother and granddaughter are both named Sophia......

Zhu Fugui is also used to it, anyway, it is normal for these Yangyi to have the same name, what William and Robert, Zhu Fugui knows a dozen.

This kind of custom of naming juniors in the name of elders or historical celebrities seems to exist in Japan, but I don't know if it was congenital or later learned from Yangyi.

Zhu Fugui remembered that Gohan in Dragon Ball was the name of Goku's grandfather, and Sasuke in the Hokage was the name of Sarutobi's father.

This thing is neither scientific nor convenient, but fortunately, no one is doing this now.

This group of guys pondered how to name their children in line with the orthodox norms of China, and they were more particular than the orthodox Chinese.

Morishita's eldest daughter Zhu Fugui remembers that her name is Sen Qinfeng, and she has been registered in the family tree of Qujingsen, Yunnan.

Genealogy also has to keep pace with the times, and women also have to leave a name.

It's a big deal to add money.

Morishita has always been very generous with this kind of thing......

In short, Princess Sissi didn't like Sophia's name very much, and had already changed her name to Zhang Feifei.

The second daughter was renamed Zhang Lala.

As for herself......

That's right, the reason why Zhu Fugui doesn't call her Queen Elizabeth now is because less than a week after Franz was cold, Princess Sissi officially announced that she would take her fiancé's surname and call herself Zhang Qianqian.

This time, Princess Sissi entrusted her two daughters to Julie, asking her best friend to take them to Fengdu to study.

Princess Sissi heard about the students studying in Tsarist Russia and hoped that her children could also receive higher education in the Ming Dynasty.

It's not that hard to do.

Julie had already gotten to know the two nieces well along the way, and knew their interests and hobbies very well.

Zhang Feifei likes movies, her mother and stepfather co-starred in "Roman Holiday", Zhang Feifei has watched it many times.

And Zhang Lala likes to read Da Ming's comics, especially those imaginative immortal comics.

These hobbies are very satisfying, anyway, as long as the money is in place, the doors of the Performance Department of the Xinqin Film Academy and the Popular Painting Department of the Fengdu Academy of Fine Arts will always be open to the big dogs.

Zhu Fugui is really worried that the two sisters like advanced mathematics and applied physics, and those majors are not easy to arrange.

Fortunately, after all, not every girl is called Marie Słodowska Curie.

Since the Rockefeller and Edison incidents, Zhu Fugui has also had a certain interest in the top Western minds of this era.

Of course, Zhu Fugui still believes that not to mention that the Chinese are smarter than the Europeans, even if the intelligence level of the two sides is the same and the IQ conforms to the probability distribution in the population, then the Ming Dynasty is enough to find enough outstanding talents in the local area.

Without the appearance of the Ming Dynasty, these top talents may be just cattle herders in Xiangxi, or twisters in Shandong, or bandits in Kanto, or they would have died of hunger or military disasters a long time ago.

Therefore, for a long time, Zhu Fugui has no interest in poaching talents from the West.

Instead of tapping Western talents, it is better to give the young geniuses of the Ming Dynasty a broader and fairer stage.

After spending the first ten years of training, the universal compulsory education system adhered to by Daming has begun to show its power, and it is continuously sending talents to all walks of life in Daming.

But the Rockefeller and Edison incident also shows that there is something extraordinary about these guys who have stood the test of history.

Da Ming doesn't have to ask for them, but if they take the initiative to do things for Da Ming, Da Ming can't give them a chance to be a dog.

Today, Rockefeller-Edison's foreign trade company has sent the first batch of Daming's household garbage to Mumbai.

The garbage is said to have been looted.

There have even been armed clashes in the princely states of India over the distribution of garbage.

Zhu Fugui can only express regret for this...... and snickering.

As for Marie Curie......

She should still be a ten-year-old Lori, and if nothing else, she is taking a beginner's course in Warsaw, the capital of the Kingdom of Poland.

It is worth mentioning that there is really no Poland in the solitary handshake.

But why is there such a thing as the Kingdom of Poland?

That's because, the king of this Polish kingdom......

He was concurrently held by Alexander II.

Alexander II was not only Augustus of the Eastern Roman Empire, but also Caesar of the Romanov dynasty, king of the Kingdom of Poland, and Grand Duke of the Duchy of Finland.

Zhu Fugui believes that there is no need to deliberately solicit himself, as long as Daming continues to develop, Marie Curie will enter Daming's urn sooner or later.

After all, Moscow State University is ...... with St. Petersburg University It's all Daming's branch......

·

After arranging the academic problems of the two eldest nieces, Zhu Fugui told them that if they didn't want to go back to Hungary during the holidays, they could rest in an apartment in the Five Kingdoms City.

That apartment was actually for their green old father.

It's a pity that Emperor Franz was not as tough as Napoleon, and in the end he couldn't stay in the Five Kingdoms City.

After passing away the two light bulbs, Zhu Fugui and the little elk began to live a shameless seaside life again.

It's just that now that it is the war, Zhu Fugui naturally can't stay at the beach for more than half a month like before.

Three days later, Zhu Fugui took Julie back to the Fengdu Palace.

Because two Hungarian students had just been arranged, Zhu Fugui remembered Maria and others before.

They have been in Fengdu School of Political Science and Economics for nearly a semester, and they don't know if they are used to it.

Zhu Fugui knew that Yin Weasel and Sydney had been following up on this matter, so he shook the bell and asked him, the commander of the Jinyi Guard, to face the saint.

Yin Weasel came quickly.

When he pushed the door in, he saw Zhu Fugui pouting his buttocks, stuffing the pen printer on the table, the crystal fruit bowl on the coffee table, and the brand-new literary masterpieces on the bookshelf under the table.

Yin Weasel coughed twice quietly, Zhu Fugui raised his head and said enthusiastically: "Yin Aiqing, tell me quickly, how are those Rakshasa students doing this semester?" ”

"Back to Your Majesty!"

Yin Weasel didn't seem to see Zhu Fugui talking, while still using Jio to hook the tip of a pencil that fell on the ground under the table, took out a thick document by himself, and introduced to Zhu Fugui:

"Since the beginning of the school year in February this year, international students from the Rakshasa Kingdom have violated school discipline and school rules 1,070 times, and have paid a total of 1.27 million and 5,000 yuan in fines......

Hiss –

Zhu Fugui gasped.

More than 1.27 million yuan!

This is almost enough for Daming to produce a capital battleship!

Even if it is converted into RMB, it is more than 300 million!

That's one-twentieth of your own money!

And that's just the fine!

Is education so lucrative?

Zhu Fugui was shocked.

But when he calmed down and thought about it carefully, he was relieved.

That's where it goes.

Don't you see that in order to let their children go to prestigious schools in the United States, local tyrants from all walks of life will throw tens of millions, hundreds of millions, and even billions into it?

And it is said that the local tyrants in China are not the ceiling, and in order to let his son study in the UK, he directly donated a building......

More than 200 Maozi students, more than half of whom are Gongsun nobles, only spent 300 million yuan on adding a piece, which is not much.

It's no wonder that in later generations, Canada, the United Kingdom, and Australia, one of them counted as one, and they were so enthusiastic about the study abroad industry.

Zhu Fugui calmed down and continued to listen to Yin Weasel's report.

I only heard him continue: "In addition, 3 Rakshasa students were repatriated, and 1 Rakshasa students were taken into custody by the Criminal Department. ”

"Huh?"

Zhu Fugui's expression became serious.

After careful questioning, it turned out that there was a brawl between the Rakshasa students and the Daming students because of the competition for the football field.

"Did you win?"

Zhu Fugui asked.

"The ball is lost, the rack is won."

"That's it."

Football is not football, this is a trivial matter, martial arts is the foundation of the Ming Dynasty.

Of course, it can't be said that because you can't kick a ball, you will hit someone, that is called losing and losing.

After carefully looking at the case file and determining that the cause of the brawl was because several children of Maozi nobles who had drunk alcohol forcibly seized the football field, not winning or losing the game, Zhu Fugui relieved himself.

However, if you can get criminal detention, you will naturally see blood.

There is a young man here in Daming who has a ruptured spleen, if it weren't for Fengdu's superb medical level, he would almost be gone.

The Rakshasa students were also seriously injured, and the Affiliated Hospital of Guozijian gave active treatment, which can be regarded as benevolent and righteous.

I have to say that Maozi's football hooligans are braver.

Zhu Fugui remembered that when Daming and England staged a full martial arts game, those British Yankees had no power to fight back.

Like this time, Da Ming also lost a young man.

In addition to this bloodshed, the Rakshasa students are quite honest.

Zhu Fugui's most worried incident of international students harassing Daming girls did not happen.

Maybe it's the credit of Seattle's big world, or maybe it's the Ming Dynasty's punishment for this problem is a little severe.

After all, the Daming Piece Duck Technique, the White Lotus like Princess Maria may not be clear, but the other noble children have more or less heard the elders in the family talk about it.

Daming so far, the most filmed is Maozi, which is inevitably memorable.

However, we must not let our guard down.

It is very likely that the country will send international students here next year.

Although the African continent may not look large on some maps, it seems to be a little larger than China, but not as big as Russia.

But in reality, this is only because of the severe distortion caused by the Mercator projection method.

The African continent is more than 30 million square kilometers, compared to more than 40 million square kilometers on the Asian continent and in North and South America combined.

The African continent is a vast land that deservedly beyond.

Even if the Ming Dynasty itself is not short of resources, it also needs to compete with the old colonial countries for the right to speak in Africa.

The Taiping Ni Kingdom is a tributary state of the Ming Dynasty, and it is also a proper duty to send some people to learn the etiquette of the Shangbang, and it is impossible for the Ming to refuse.

But this batch of guys must be strictly examined, strictly examined, and strictly managed.

Well, you have to control the numbers and make sure that they are all savvy elites.

After all, these poor ghosts can't squeeze oil and water, so they can't let my internal money be reversed, right?

Zhu Fugui has already made up his mind to pay attention.
