Chapter 736: The Train Trial Succeeds!

When he said this, Hang Min was in high spirits.

It is no exaggeration to say that since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, if people like Liu Bowen, Chang Yuchun, Yao Guangxiao, Sanyang, and Yu Qian are destined to go down in history, then now he Hang Min is also on the list.

Yu Qian's first war went down in history.

And he Hang Min has spent more than 20 years of hard work to write his name in the history of the youth.

During the Jingtai period, when His Majesty Emperor Guang'an was the crown prince, the first knife of reform was the ordnance superintendent, and the ordnance superintendent was subordinate to the Ministry of Industry.

In other words, the new atmosphere of the current Ming Dynasty, the efforts and achievements of the Ministry of Industry, occupy half of the country.

So now the government and the opposition have accepted the word "industrialization" that His Majesty said.

It is a new vocabulary derived from the reform of the Ministry of Industry.

It is precisely because he has been doing these cross-era things in the Ministry of Industry that Hang Min knows and thinks of more, and has become a real industrialist, and can even discuss other uses of electricity besides lighting with Zhu Jianji.

The Ministry of Industry is already preparing to develop electric motors!

……

……

The black smoke rises into the air like a dragon, the dense grinding sound of rails and wheels is the most beautiful sound in the world, and the train is speeding on the gentle Jingtaiguan Road, like a red dragon passing through the rivers and lakes.

Thousands of miles of rivers and mountains in full view.

Many well-informed courtiers felt this fresh style, chatting and laughing all the way, and time flew by.

There are also moths.

The steam engine was interrupted once, and it was a problem with a certain part, but the technical staff of the Donggong Military Research Institute and the Ministry of Industry quickly solved it, and found the cause of the problem with the part on the spot - it was a problem with the steel process.

The lack of strength caused the part to break, affecting the tightness of the cylinder, resulting in a continuous decline in the power of the steam engine, and finally losing power and letting the train lie down.

Fortunately, in this trial, a complete set of accessories was brought with the car.

Replace immediately and continue your departure.

It was only half an hour late.

The problem is only temporarily solved, Shi Xin and Hang Min met and discussed for a while, knowing that it is difficult to improve the level of steelmaking technology in a short time, so they can only use this part as a consumable accessory, produce more with the car, and standardize the replacement process, stipulate that the time is shortened as much as possible, and strive to replace it within a quarter of an hour after the technology is mature.

After many experiments, the mileage that can be used by the accessory is determined.

Specify how many kilometers must be changed.

The problem is solved.

Of course, there can be only one problem, and there will be problems in the future, but the emergence and solution of the problem happens to be an opportunity for process improvement.

Chinese, only the national policy is not closed to the country, then there is never a lack of ideas, since the process technology is not enough to solve the problem once and for all, then change the way of thinking.

Speaking of which, the current Ming Dynasty is the center of the world.

Although the problem of the steam engine was delayed a little, and because of the unskilled technology, the replacement time was long, which caused the first trial of the Shenlong to be delayed.

But it's still coming.

Departure on time, originally scheduled to arrive in Taiyuan at the end of the unitary hour, half an hour late, arrived at Taiyuan Station at the end of the day, that is to say, from 9 o'clock in the morning, arrived at 11 o'clock in the evening.

It took 14 hours, and excluding the one hour that was delayed, the average hour was about 70 kilometers, which was not much different from the previous budget, and it was basically a perfect trial.

When Hang Min and Yu Qian arrived in Taiyuan, after greeting the officials of the Shanxi Chengxuan Political Envoy Department, they found that there were still a bunch of people not far away.

It is the two little devils of the old Zhu family.

I'm asleep in my chair at the moment.

Well......

There is also a little girl who is asleep, it should be Zhu Jun, the little daughter of Zhu Xiang's family, looking at this posture, it is not possible to be the princess of Yan Wang or Zhu Youhua's concubine in the future.

What kind of shit luck did Zhu Xiang step on!

The eunuch Jixiang and a fifty-year-old master were waiting.

Hang Min hurriedly asked about the situation, and learned that the two princes wanted to see the train, but they couldn't stay up all night and fell asleep, so he said to Jixiang: "Such a novelty, His Royal Highness King Yan naturally needs to experience it himself, Jixiang Eunuch, do you think you want the two princes to return with the car tomorrow?" ”

Ji Xiang smiled: "I'm afraid they won't agree." ”

I finally escaped from Gyeonggi and traveled through the mountains and rivers, but I took the train back to Gyeonggi - I couldn't get out when I went back.

Hang Min said with a smile: "The train will stay in Yangquan and Baoding Mansion for a short time. ”

The implication is that the two princes can get off at Yangquan or Baoding and continue their journey south.

Ji Xiang smiled: "Then it will be arranged according to Hang Shangshu." ”

The two looked at each other and smiled, happy cooperation!

In fact, it is not a pit for the two princes, this move, on the one hand, is to satisfy the curiosity of children, on the other hand, King Yan is cultivated as a prince, must broaden his horizons, King Yan knows the magic and convenience of the train, knows the benefits of industry, and after he ascends the throne, he will inherit the legacy of Emperor Guang'an and lead the Ming Dynasty to continue to the future.

In fact, industrial reform has been promoted in Gyeonggi, and there are only a few steel mills and the like in the local area, so when the officials of the Taiyuan Chengxuan Political Envoy Department saw the train, they were novel and shocked, and they were all around pointing fingers.

A lot of people don't quite believe it.

How could such a behemoth run faster than a horse-drawn carriage, starting from Gyeonggi in the morning and arriving in Taiyuan in the evening, it must be known that the carriage from Gyeonggi to Taiyuan takes at least three days.

After Hang Min and the left and right Cheng announced that the envoys had exchanged pleasantries, they immediately said loudly: "Your Majesty has a will!" ”

The crowd hurriedly knelt down.

Yu Qian was also about to kneel, but Hang Min stopped him, "Your Majesty said, Yu Shaobao doesn't have to kneel, this is also an edict to Shanxi Chengxuan's political envoy." ”

His Majesty Emperor Guang'an is really sympathetic to his courtiers.

If you can let Yu Qian sit, you won't let him stand, and if you can let him stand, you won't let him kneel, I hope Yu Shaobao can live a long and healthy life.

Yu Qian was quite moved.

Hang Min said loudly: "Your Majesty's dictation: the Ministry of Industry and the Donggong Military Research Institute will work together to create a heavy traffic train, which will cut the mountains and rivers to connect the central and local governments, but such novelties were born in Gyeonggi, and the local officials know very little. ”

The people are in charge.

Hang Min picked up Shanxi's left and right envoys, and said with a smile: "In fact, not only the officials of Shanxi, all the officials of Gyeonggi have to ride one by one, and even some local officials will be summoned by His Majesty to enter Beijing to experience, and then the Shenlong will continue to go back and forth on the road between Gyeonggi and Taiyuan, and the two political envoys still have to handle this matter properly, at the same time, His Majesty also said that after the experience, knowing the benefits brought by the train, the local officials should think about it, and think about whether there is a possibility of building official roads and running trains in their jurisdictions, if there is, Then make a detailed plan and send it to the Ministry of Industry for review, and then the Ministry of Industry will plan and build it in a unified manner. ”

After a pause, "Your Majesty means to create a cobweb of trains across the country. ”

As for the hope that the local government will contribute......

The local taxes were originally collected by the central government, and the government did not have much money, and His Majesty's intention was just to hope that the local magnates and wealthy would "donate" a little money to the imperial court.

Huang Yuxian, who was standing beside Jixiang, had also seen the world, although they were all ministers at the moment, he suddenly said without stage fright: "This matter should be pushed with all his might, if it really creates the cobwebs of the train, I am afraid that the Ming Dynasty will write a new world." ”

Huang Yuxian already had a premonition that the appearance of the train might lead to great changes in the Ming Dynasty.

Because since then, distance is no longer an issue.
