Through the mouths of the three people, a fuller image of Da Ming was displayed in front of Yan Zheng's eyes.

What they saw and heard along the way, all of them made people feel that the Ming society was an extremely divided society.

Although it is very rich, the wealth has nothing to do with the poor compared to the rich gentry.

Everywhere you can see people begging, and you can meet families who sell their children and daughters.

Even in the Jingshi, the foot of the Son of Heaven and the first good district, a market of people buying and selling human beings has been formed.

In addition, the people are extremely afraid of the officials, and the officials do not pity the people, so that the Ming Dynasty seems to be divided into two parts.

As for the appearance of all beings under the binding of the Three Platforms and Five Constants, it made Yan Zheng feel that the Ming Dynasty could no longer bear the burden of China's progress.

After all, this is only the surface darkness, if you dig deeper, you don't know what the Ming Kingdom has become rotten.

But it is this country that is strong from the outside and capable in the middle, and it can still maintain its rule over the two capitals and thirteen provinces, as well as a huge administrative system.

So even if it is weak, Yan Zheng will not think that this is a dilapidated house, and it will collapse with one kick.

Because the potential of the Ming Dynasty should not be underestimated, although the Confucian scholars and doctors are stubborn, they will always sacrifice their lives to take righteousness.

Thinking of this, Yan Zheng felt that in order to block the luck and force the Daming switch, it would take at least a few years of development, and he still needed to pick a good time.

In his opinion, the moment Emperor Hongzhi died, it was a favorable opportunity in recent years!

It's just that the iron still needs to be hard, and if you don't save enough money in the past three years, you can only sit back and watch the opportunity to flow away.

He read the mission's report repeatedly, and finally slapped it on the table!

It's decided, grit your teeth and work for three years, no matter what, you have to seize this important window period.

Two days later, on the railroad tracks laid outside the Yangang trestle.

The track is more than three kilometers long, and the wooden railcars that have been running until now are used to transport coal.

At this moment, a long train is quietly parked on this track, and there are a total of twelve cars full of coal.

The locomotive of the steam locomotive uses the 01 steam engine, and the principle used is only to replace the wheels into the steam engine, so that it can replace the crankshaft and complete the reciprocating motion.

In terms of structure, there is not much of a problem, the only problem is that it is too simple, except for the wheels using high-carbon steel, the rest of the wood can be used wood.

In addition, the entire front of the car strives to be streamlined, so in terms of style, it has a strong rugged style.

The director of the machine factory, plus the workers who made the machine heads, all came to the scene.

As the ribbon-cutting ceremony began, Yan Zheng personally climbed on the locomotive of the train, added a shovel of coal to the train, and asked the factory director Ji Qi decently how many steps were in the production process of the locomotive and whether there was any possibility of improvement.

After the inquiry, he cut the ribbon with his own hands and ordered the train test to officially begin.

Accompanied by the rhythmic beating of the snare drums, the workers in charge of burning coal continue to shovel coal into the boiler.

As the whistle drifted over the salt harbor for a long time, the train fluttered a few times, and the three wheels in front of it spun under the action of a connecting bar.

The train moves! The train moves! There is no use of cattle and horses!

The people present looked in amazement, and many of the Ming descendants in the isolation room were lying on the low wall, looking at all this with a look of fear and sluggishness.

The black smoke and sparks that were constantly spewing out made the road full of smoke and dust.

Yan Zheng applauded with satisfaction, this will be the first time in human history that there will be a means of transportation driven by a heat engine.

It also means that the railway in the Zhuyan coal area, which has been built, will become the first railway in the world to operate.

Glory, endless glory!

Yan Zheng looked at it with a smile, as if he had eaten honey in his heart, but now he can understand why the teachers expected to be full of big chimneys at a glance!

Because this symbolizes the advanced productive forces and the power to destroy the withering and decaying!

After about 20 minutes, the train ran back again, and this time the test used a double nose!

At a distance of one kilometer, the steam engine was stopped by adding a large amount of cold water to the boiler and closing the furnace door, and it coasted by inertia.

The workers on the side desperately buckled the soaked wooden brake devices between the wheels one by one.

As the green smoke rose from the friction of the wood, the speed of the train slowly slowed down.

When the speed is reduced to a certain level, the train can be completely stopped by the built-in braking device.

This braking method is very simple and crude, and it is almost always the same as that of early trains.

Yan Zheng looked at the test pilot who stepped down from the nose of the plane and applauded.

There have long been female students who have stuffed handfuls of flowers into their hands.

These test drivers smiled honestly and shyly, and when they shook hands with Yan Zheng, their faces flushed with excitement.

Yan Zheng smiled and said, "Your names will be written in the history of Huaxia Kingdom, and even in the history of all mankind!" Because it's a whole new mode of transportation, it's enough to change the world! ”

The test driver at the head bowed and said, "It's all for Huaxia, for the king!"

Papapa-The audience applauded enthusiastically.

Someone brought a piece of paper and a pen with great interest, and asked the monarch to inscribe the first train.

After Yan Zheng thought about it, he picked up his pen and wrote the word "Vermilion".

From then on, the train of Dongqin will be called the "Suzaku" trainset.

The workers and students present all raised their arms and cheered, as if the glory belonged to every citizen!

The Daming Tongsheng trio was also mixed in the crowd at the moment.

The three of them stood aside, and they looked a little obscene with short clothes and short hair.

Sun Maodian looked at the jubilant crowd and couldn't help but sigh and said: "The power of water and fire is beyond the reach of manpower!" It's a pity, it's a pity! Dongqin doesn't need my name to teach! Otherwise, this thing will be matched with my famous teaching, and there will be a bigger world. ”

Lin Hongde smiled helplessly, looking at the unsightly appearance of the train, he said with a little emotion: "Give the Ming Kingdom a hundred years, I'm afraid I won't be able to make this thing!" It makes sense that Dongqin looks down on famous religions, let me ask me that famous religions have been taught for thousands of years, but there is something so powerful that is better than the power of boats and vehicles? ”

"Nope! Not only not today, but also in the future! Xiao Erlin said with some emotion: "Everything is inferior, only reading is high!" But we are reading the Confucian classics, the rest are regarded as small ways, today's Ming Dynasty, the status of craftsmen is low, it is unheard of, so despise craftsmen, regard them as cheap labor, how can they make such a miraculous thing? ”

Sun Maodian did not refute it, it is really empirical, and he can't refute it.

Lin Hongde waved his hand and said: "I don't have extravagant expectations for the rest of the things, I have recently learned some mathematics, and I have consciously learned at home, and when I wait for the next semester, I will participate in the assessment exam, so that I can teach mathematics in the first grade of primary school!" Teach one more and the salary may be one-third more! ”

Xiao Erlin smiled, thinking in his heart that he had completed the manuscript "The Constitutional Theory of China" last month, which he had changed his name and named it "The Constitutional Theory".

It's just that he is hesitating now whether to dedicate it to the monarch or to make it public to the world.

The more he thought about it these days, the more he felt that the constitution was right, and that the restrictions on civil and military affairs and the monarch alone were extremely meaningful.

After thinking about it, Xiao Erlin set his sights on Qiu Ruicai, they worked together at the beginning, but Qiu Ruicai was very accomplished in mathematics.

After being favored by the monarch, he became a member of the first cabinet, and it is said that many national data were his colleagues in the mathematics group, who were responsible for checking and completing statistics.

Xiao Erlin sometimes sighs that the world is impermanent, but now looking at Qiu Ruicai, he is doing practical things every day, and there seems to be new changes every time, which makes them very envious.

After hesitating again and again, Xiao Erlin gritted his teeth and decided to take the manuscript to ask Qiu Ruicai for help!
