In Gyeonggi, the Road Traffic Department under the Ministry of Industry is busy taking off, but everyone's words and deeds are full of joy, and various affairs are carried out in a busy and orderly manner.

Over the years, among the various departments of the Ming Dynasty, in terms of fatigue, the Road Traffic Department said second, and only the two courts dared to say first.

After all, these three departments are the ones who have exhausted the most officials and employees.

Of course, in the case of dead people, the Road Traffic Division is the most.

After all, every cement official road is filled with the lives of tens of thousands of people, especially when crossing the mountain and opening a bridge, every time a mountain is dug and a bridge is opened, a large number of people will die in accidents.

It's not that the Road Traffic Department can't manage it.

It's a matter of skill and level.

It is no exaggeration to say that the official road of the Ming Dynasty is a road of flesh and blood, according to the statistics of the Ministry of Industry, just the two official roads of Beijing, Guangzhou and Heijing, the dead and injured are nearly 100,000.

In addition, the newly opened several official roads that have already started construction, and countless people will die......

This is known to the whole world.

The court knows, and the people know.

And the Gentiles know it.

Everyone knows one thing: the Ming Dynasty will kill people when it builds official roads, and many people will die!

However, the people at home and abroad did not react much to this incident.

There is actually only one reason: the money is in place.

First of all, for the construction of official roads, only a small part of the domestic requisitioned people, and this small part was arranged in a better position by the Road Traffic Division.

Therefore, there are very few deaths in the country.

No more than three thousand.

For the dead Jiaozhi people, the road traffic department gave a pension of 100 taels, and the seriously injured people were 50 taels, which is already a huge amount of money for the poor Jiaozhi people.

What's more, the Ming Dynasty requisitioned the people of Jiaozhi to build an official road, which was to pay the moon.

Quite a few, two or two big Ming treasure banknotes.

Almost in the early years, the purchasing power of a soldier in the Ming Dynasty was enough for the people of Jiaozhi to feed half of the family, and the Road Traffic Department never deducted the diet of the people.

It must be known that in the requisition of the people of the previous dynasties, let alone making money to support the family, if you don't rob your money and grain, you will burn high incense, which is like the Ming Dynasty, which is talking about requisition, in fact, it is more like employment.

No way, rich people are so arrogant!

Under such a favorable treatment, even if they knew that a large number of people would die if they cultivated the official road, when the imperial court went to the Indochina Peninsula to requisition people's husbands, the local people still had a lot of enthusiasm.

There is no need for the Ming to use troops to forcibly levy.

What is this called......

This is called Guotai and the people of the world!

Therefore, the Road Traffic Department is tired, but never worried about this aspect of things, now by the Ministry of Household appropriation, allocation of the Ministry of Industry, the Ministry of Industry and then allocated to the Road Traffic Department of the establishment of the bus group, is also preparing to be listed.

It is a comptoir that belongs to the state.

The Road Traffic Department also allocated the money to the Donggong Military Research Institute, and today the Donggong Military Research Institute will deliver the goods, and the steam transport vehicles that used to be used on the battlefield will be operated by the bus group after improvement, and become the means of transportation for Heijing Road and Jingguang Road.

It's completely civilian!

Of course, the possibility of being conscripted into the military in wartime is not excluded.

In charge of the Daming Public Transport Group is Tan Songlin, deputy director of the Department of Road Transportation, who has long been familiar with the project, and is now reporting the progress to Hang Min, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry.

If nothing else, the first train departs for Taiyuan on time, arrives in Taiyuan on time at the end of the unitary hour, lasts five hours, and then returns the same way tomorrow.

During this period, it is necessary to calculate the maximum speed of the train under normal operation, as well as various problems faced during the trial process, or unexpected problems that may arise.

Gyeonggi to Taiyuan, converted according to the standard of the new three-series book, is 1,000 li.

At the speed of a traditional horse-drawn carriage, it would take three or four days.

The average army needs to travel at least twelve days from Gyeonggi to Taiyuan.

However, according to the data calculated by the Donggong Military Research Institute, it will take up to five hours for the train to reach Taiyuan, so if the train really works successfully, it will be a groundbreaking progress for the country's strategic planning and layout.

It means that the imperial court can transfer the army to any part of the country within three days!

Centralization will be strengthened like never before.

Hang Min changed his clothes today, he didn't wear an official uniform, and the whole person was cleaned up, as the first "passenger" to set foot on the steam train in the Ming Dynasty, he will go down in history.

But in fact, with or without this test ride, he will go down in history.

After taking a sip of water, he asked Tan Songlin, who was standing at the forefront, "Everything is ready, this matter was originally intended for His Majesty to come in person, but as you know, Your Majesty has been in a bad mood these days." ”

The ministers couldn't help but laugh secretly.

His Majesty has indeed been very irritable these days, and he has been angry with the two little devils in his family.

Hang Min asked again: "Have all the people who took the test ride together arrived?" ”

There are actually a lot of people who test ride today, it was originally a matter of the Ministry of Industry, but under the hint of His Majesty, Hang Min took the initiative to invite Yu Shaobao and Yu Qian to ride together.

When the rest of the important ministers saw that even the father-in-law had gone, it would definitely be safe, so they would come to join in the fun.

So the final test ride list is like this: the military department is still the book, and the young man is Yu Qian; Scholar of the Ministry of Officials, Scholar of Wenhuadian University, Bai Gyu; Hubu Shangshu, Dongge University Scholar Chen Xun; Lu Yu, a scholar of the Ministry of Rites and a scholar of Jianji Temple; Hang Min, a scholar of the Ministry of Industry and a scholar of Wenyuange University; Zhao Liang, the Imperial History of the Imperial Palace; Shi Xin, president of the Donggong Military Research Institute, and important senior officials of the train project team; Tan Songlin, Deputy Director of the Department of Road Traffic, and a group of colleagues; Individual waiters and langzhong of the six departments, as well as a few old ministers who retired in Gyeonggi after Zhishi.

Tan Songlin said: "I have already gone to the station outside the city. ”

Hang Min got up, "The reason for choosing Gyeonggi to Taiyuan for this trial trial is because this road is a little smoother, and it is an official road that has just been repaired, and the quality is more reassuring, I hope there will be no accidents, then let's go over, they are all powerful ministers, don't let everyone wait for a long time." ”

Outside the city, in front of the station, which was less than five hundred meters away from the city gate, all the ministers had already gathered, and in front of everyone's eyes, a huge piece of red silk covered a behemoth two hundred meters long!

Against the backdrop of the blue sky and red sun, it looks like a red dragon.

Although it was not the first time that Hang Min had seen it, he was still a little enthusiastic at the moment, just like Shi Xin and the others, because they were experiencing a great historical event in person.

This was the first train of the Ming Dynasty.

From now on, Daming's traffic will enter a new chapter.

The White Emperor City, twilight to the clouds.

Trains travel across the land, and a thousand miles a day will become a reality on land.
