Hang Min thought for a moment, "In that case...... The next step is to explode the opening of coal mines and iron ore mining and smelting in the Indochina Peninsula, but the transportation problem needs to be solved, more steam trucks are needed, and with the successive construction of official roads, the transportation of the required materials also needs to be solved, so the optimal solution, as Your Majesty said, this year the Ministry of Industry will vigorously invest in the construction of a steam truck production plant, and strive to start production in half a year, so that it is possible to meet the demand for transportation."

Zhu Jianji nodded, "Aren't Heijing Road and Jingguang Road laid with railroad tracks, although they are cement bases, the load-bearing capacity may be a little worse, but they should be usable, so this time the steam transport depot invested by the Ministry of Industry is strictly speaking, called a train?"

Hang Min: "Train?"

Zhu Jianji returned to the back of the imperial desk, took out a design drawing from under a pile of chapter folds, and handed it to Hang Min, "It's basically an enhanced version of the steam transport car, but there are a few more carriages, because it is powered by the fire of coal burning, so I named it a train."

The steam engine has been built, and the train is in order.

Hang Min took it and looked at it, and understood in seconds.

Because Zhu Jianji showed him this design before, and someone in the Ministry of Industry actually mentioned this idea, one carriage of the steam transport vehicle is also running, and two carriages are also running, why not design a few more carriages?

Chen Xun on the side glanced at it, and suddenly had a worry in his heart, "Your Majesty, if this train has so many carriages, if it is loaded with materials such as steel, coal, ore and sand and gravel, its weight will be tens and hundreds of tons, Weichen is worried that Jingguang Road may not be able to bear it, but Jingguang Road costs a lot of money, and if it is crushed like this, the gains outweigh the losses!"

Zhu Jianji thought about it.

After a little thought, he said: "This problem is simple, after the coal and iron ore transported back from the Indochina Peninsula arrives in Guangxi, it will be distributed to more trains to reduce the weight of a single train, and after several major cement official roads in China are repaired, they will start to work on it in full force to build exclusive tracks for trains!"

Hang Min asked rhetorically, "Anyway, it's going to be repaired, why don't you reduce the construction of an official road and build the exclusive track of the train first?" After all, we have a more urgent need for trains."

Zhu Jianji thought for a while, "It's okay."

Walking to the map of the whole territory of the Ming Dynasty, he said to Hang Min: "I also have a design plan for the exclusive track of the train, which is basically based on steel, so it is called a railway, and the Ministry of Industry plans to start construction immediately, next to the Jingguang Road, to build a Beijing-Guangzhou railway."

Walking to the map of the whole territory of the Indochina Peninsula, he said to the two people: "Then with Guangxi as the center, the railway continues to extend to Cochin, Vientiane, Phnom Penh, and Ayutthaya, radiating the entire Indochina Peninsula."

It will not be repaired on the other side of the city.

Sea freight is more cost-effective.

He also said: "As for the railroad tracks on our cement official road, they have been repaired anyway, don't waste it, the newly built train factory will produce a few trains that are specialized in pulling people, so as to provide convenient tools for the people and officials across the country to go south and north, and also make some money to supplement our families."

Cement pipes lay rails, and there is no problem with using them for passenger transportation.

Hang Min said, "Your Majesty estimates that it will be completed in a few years?"

Zhu Jianji said: "This is not easy to predict, the terrain, manpower, and materials will affect the progress of the construction, but the sooner the better, so the Ministry of Industry must spare no effort to recruit the people of the Indochina Peninsula as much as possible to build, open the skylight and say bright words, anyway, it is not the permanent territory of my Ming Dynasty, but our back garden, I don't care how many people die."

If nothing else, the construction of this railway is likely to cause hundreds of thousands of casualties on the Indochina Peninsula, and it is definitely a north-south artery built out of corpses.

But that's the reality.

The strength of the Ming Dynasty can only step on the flesh and blood of the Indochina Peninsula.

Could it be that my Ming people will bear this death and injury?

So what did Lao Tzu fight Indochina for?

Hang Min and Chen Xun glanced at each other, especially Hang Min, his face was a little ugly, he had already expected that thousands of years later, his Hang Min's name would be guilty in the history books of the Indochina Peninsula

Wicked.

Might as well!

In Chinese history books, his name Hang Min must be full of praise.

In the end, Zhu Jianji said in front of the map of Mobei: "Of course, the most important thing is to link up the political envoys of several major ministers in Mobei with Gyeonggi, so the official road in Mobei must also be built at the same time."

[In view of the general environment,

Hang Min didn't squeak and looked at Chen Xun.

Chen Xun looked at the three maps of the whole territory, hesitated for a long time, and then asked Zhu Jianji, "Your Majesty, are you sure that there will be no foreign wars in my Ming Dynasty in the next few years, and there are no other projects that cost a lot of money?"

Zhu Jianji was slightly embarrassed, "There is no foreign war, at least before digesting the Indochina Peninsula and Mobei, there will be none, even if it is on the Japanese side, no matter how well the puppet Dashun Dynasty develops, I can endure it for a while, but the big project is still a little ......."

Chen Xun's face suddenly had a black line: "......"

Lao Tzu has no money!

Zhu Jianji said: "Don't show me a black face first, and it's not out of your pocket."

Not angry.

Chen Xun, as the secretary of the household department, wants to coordinate the use of treasury funds, and today he said that this cement official road and railway train project is indeed costly, and it is understandable that he is under great pressure.

Chen Xun said weakly, "What other projects does Your Majesty have?"

Zhu Jianji said: "Before you, didn't I discuss with the secretaries of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, the Criminal Department, the Dali Temple, the Cabinet, and the Department of Education, these departments should expand the number of personnel, and set up local basic departments in the sinking places, especially the Criminal Department, to arrest the national public security, so as to achieve the goal of national peace and security, so the new personnel of several departments will probably have ...... About 100,000!"

Hang Min gasped, "One hundred thousand?!"

Chen Xun almost jumped to his feet, "Your Majesty, do you think the money in our treasury is blowing in the wind!"

Zhu Jianji said weakly, "What?"

Chen Xun said helplessly: "Your Majesty, don't you know how many officials our Daming has now? Except for the Indochina Peninsula and Mobei, our Ming Dynasty has a total of only 130,000 officials this year, and this is because of the rapid increase in population in recent years and the expansion of the imperial examination by His Majesty, during the Hongwu period, there were only less than 30,000 officials in the country."

Hang Min also said, "Chen Shangshu is telling the truth."

Chen Xun continued: "Now that the Indochina Peninsula has added nearly 30,000 officials, plus the 130,000 in my own country, plus hundreds of officials in Mobei, the treasury has been overwhelmed, and now Your Majesty is about 100,000 more.

Zhu Jianji bowed slightly, "I really don't know how many officials there are in the country."

Slightly embarrassed.

Because these things are in charge of the cheap father, he hasn't paid much attention to it, and let's talk about an indisputable fact: to this day, Zhu Jianji can't completely call out the names of all the political envoys and commanders in the country.

But cheap dad Zhu Qiyu can.

Not only the political envoys, but even some important officials of the political envoys, such as participating in politics and deliberations, Zhu Qiyu also knows everything well, and even remembers clearly what year they were Jinshi.

This is the ability that the great tomorrow should have.

Zhu Jianji said again: "But Chen Shangshu doesn't have to worry, among the nearly 100,000 or so new personnel, at most only about 10,000 or 20,000 are officials belonging to the Criminal Department, Dali Temple, the Metropolitan Procuratorate, the Cabinet and the Education Department, and some of them are officials transferred by the local government to the nearest place, not counting the number of new officials, the most important increase is the personnel of the County Security Bureau who has been transferred from the Criminal Department to the county, which belongs to public security management, and they are not officials."

Chen Xun breathed a sigh of relief, "That's okay, these people are just the treatment of yacha?"

That's not a huge overhead.

Zhu Jianji added: "Officials, and these officials have the possibility of being promoted to officials in bureaus at all levels of the Criminal Department."

They must be given the establishment of public institutions.

Chen Xun: "Your Majesty has not considered a question, the treatment of officials is higher than that of the government?"

Zhu Jian

Ji Dao: "I know, but if you want the horse to run, you have to feed the horse, not only the new county, prefecture, and government security personnel at all levels of the Criminal Department belong to the officials, but most of the practitioners in the hospitals of the Department of Medical and Health across the country are also officials, and most of the personnel in the new government schools are also treated as officials."

He also said: "That is to say, the country will add a large number of officials at once, but I don't think there is anything in this, although it may lead to redundant officials in the end, but don't forget, my Ming Dynasty now has a large population base, and more officials are needed, that is normal, only if there are enough officials, can we better manage the huge population, to be honest, this is my Ming Dynasty in the initiative to redundant officials."

It is a phenomenon that must exist in the prosperous world.

Some dynasties, if you want to be redundant, you don't have this condition!
