Hudun Rabbit has had a hard time lately.

Although the fighting force under the tent was retained in the battle with Jiannu last year, many women and children in the tribe were taken captive. Coupled with the production tools and daily necessities discarded when he escaped, he had to exchange supplies with Akito at an expensive price.

Fortunately, many people have come to run in the name of the Great Khan for most of the past six months, although it is unlikely that they want to restore their former glory, but at least they can settle down and do not need to flee anymore.

Some time ago, he heard that Huang Taiji had gone to attack the Ningjin defense line again, and he suffered heavy losses. Do you really think that Akito is muddy? Deserve!

It's better to have your back against a big tree.

Hudun Rabbit stood in front of the sweat tent and looked at the south, with some emotion.

"Is Guiying here?"

"Great Khan! I'm coming! As soon as Hudun Rabbit's words fell, Guiying ran over from outside.

"Have you finished shearing the wool from the tribes?"

"Back to the sweat, it's basically finished."

"Collect it, in the past two days, you have taken someone to pull the wool and go to exchange things with the Ming people. Grain, salt, tea. ”

"Yes, Great Khan!"

Half a month later, the wool that Gui Yingcha exchanged for was sent to the capital.

"Have all the workers recruited before?" When Zhu Youzhen learned that the wool had arrived, he ordered someone to call Xu Yingyuan.

"Back to Long live, dozens of workers were recruited a few days ago, and they have learned the basic operation of the spinning machine."

"What about the weavers?"

"I'm trained too!"

"Well, the Mongols' wool has arrived. It's time to get started! ”

"Yes, hooray."

The spinning machine has been developed for so long, and it is time to come in handy.

His plan was simple, to set up a textile mill to spin yarn, weave sweaters, and sell sweaters.

He had decreed that all Mongolian wool should be collected, no matter how much it was. Honestly raise sheep for Daming, I'm not afraid that you won't raise it when you taste the sweetness. If you are not convinced, then the musket and cannon will serve until you are convinced.

Zhu Youzhen is not at all worried that they will be able to pose any threat.

As long as firearms develop fast enough, this nation on horseback can only become a vassal of the Ming Dynasty.

In fact, Zhu Youzhen was right. When the families received the wool in exchange, they all had a satisfied smile on their faces. Ambition is often the high-level, and ordinary herdsmen with little knowledge can have tea leaves to cook a pot of milk tea in the cold winter It is a very happy thing.

June 28

Wang Zheng is here.

"The train with brakes is made?"

"Your Majesty is wise!"

"Let's go. Check it out. ”

Zhu Youzhen came to the machinery factory again and saw the world's first train: the Liangfu steam train.

Huh?

What's the matter?

From a distance, Zhu Youzhen saw a train outside the machinery factory, and it was red.

"Your Majesty, I advocate red, and this steam car is also called a train. So I painted it red. Fiery red, complementing each other. ”

......

What a talent. Sure enough, the most important thing I lack in Daming is talent.

"Take a run and let me see."

"Yes!"

After another long wait, the train began to move.

Clang, click.

After running for a while, it stopped again with a violent braking sound.

It seems that the braking system is really made, and the addition of a carriage can pull people and goods.

"How much can you pull?"

"Only pull a little!"

“！！！？？？”

"The minister tried, and the train ran up, and dozens of people couldn't hold it."

“......”

The third brother's train is full of people and can't stop, and dozens of you want to pull it?

The appearance of the train will undoubtedly bring great changes to Daming.

He planned to build a railway, but the question of where to build the first railway became a problem.

Zhu Youzhen took the map and meditated for a long time, but he didn't make up his mind.

"Wang Banban, where do you say our first railway in the Ming Dynasty will be built?"

"This, the slave and maid dare not discuss it."

"Say."

"Yes, the slave maid thinks that it is better to repair from the capital to Nanjing."

"Why?"

"This—"

Wang Chengen didn't dare to speak, he couldn't say that it was convenient to run.

Zhu Youzhen saw that Wang Chengen couldn't say why, so he directly summoned the cabinet scholars, intending to discuss with them at this time.

"The train that I ordered Wang Zheng to develop some time ago has been successfully developed. The load of this car is very large, and you only need to burn coal to run all the time without resting. But a dedicated railway needs to be built. I summoned all the ministers to hear your opinions, where is the right place to build this first railway? ”

Opinion? When do you need to listen to our opinions? Aren't they all notifications? Do you know what nickname we have in the market? Papier-mâché five pavilion old!

Fan Jingwen and the others hung their heads and were silent, and they couldn't say nothing. It is estimated that it will have to be added with the title of Long Live Xianggong.

"Back to Your Majesty, the minister met Wang Shilang by chance to test the train, and also met the railway that His Majesty said. The minister has a matter that is not clear. Master Shoufu Fan carefully prepared his words, he had already seen that Wang Zheng was not pleasing to his eyes. Although this little old man was his direct subordinate, he had the name of a right-hand servant who tinkered with his coal-burning machine all day long, and basically did not do the work of the Ministry of Works. If the emperor hadn't covered him, he would have found an excuse to kill him long ago.

"Fan Qing, please speak."

"This railway needs to be built on a smooth road, what if it encounters ditches and bumps?"

"Open the mountain when you meet the mountain, build a bridge when you meet the water."

"Then isn't this destroying my Ming Fengshui?" Fan Jingwen's eyes widened.

Zhu Youzhen almost didn't squirt out the sip of water he just drank.

I asked you to make a suggestion, you fucking said bad feng shui?

Zhu Youzhen pursed his lips and held back the swear words that rushed to his mouth.

"Fan Qing is reasonable, when the time comes to plan the route, let the people of Honglu Temple refer to it." Ignoring Fan Jingwen's reaction, he looked at Bi Ziyan. This old man is still okay.

"Bi Qing, what do you think?"

"Back to Your Majesty, the ministers of the Xiu Railway support. But there was no silver in the household. ”

I'm Nima's.

Did I ask you for money?

You're a.

Zhu Youzhen took a deep breath, forget it, you can't get angry. Bi Ziyan's financial relevance is still very good.

Next, Zhu Youzhen didn't ask anymore, and it was in vain to ask.

"I plan to set up a railway bureau to be responsible for the construction and maintenance of the railway, Fan Qing, you will work hard, right?"

Fan Jingwen, who was still a little uncomfortable in his heart, immediately became happy. Your Majesty has used me!

"Minister! Terrified! I'm afraid it's hard to take on this big task! ”

"This matter must be Qing, and Qing does not have to shirk it."

A few people chatted again, and Zhu Youzhen sent them away.

Fan Jingwen is still trustworthy, and he often restrains himself in the name of honor. He also often taught his subordinates that "no commission, no gift", so no one dared to bribe him and his men. As a result, he also received the nickname of "Fuji Gong".

During the change of Jiashen, he jumped into the ancient well next to the Twin Pagoda Temple and was martyred.

Such a person, even if he has limitations in his thinking, is at least reassuring to use.
