"This steam train will eventually lead to the mysterious Hogwarts."

'Hogwarts? ’

Hearing this, everyone's eyes were full of doubts.

They had never heard of such a place, and they didn't know what it was or what it was for.

But since it came out of the mouth of an immortal master, could it be a fairyland land?

"Of course, your attention is not on Hogwarts, but on the steam train."

Ji Boying opened his mouth lightly, drawing everyone's attention back.

Of course, he didn't plan to send all these great boys to Hogwarts to study magic, and even if he wanted to, Dumbledore wouldn't necessarily agree.

The reason why this is put is because Ji Boying thinks that it is a film projection horizontally and vertically anyway, and the first image that pops up in his mind about the steam train is this 'Express 5972' to Hogwarts.

In addition, it is the infinite train in Demon Slayer.

But the texture of the anime is obviously far inferior to the real person, and Ji Boying's purpose is mainly to show these people the steam train, so the first choice is this 5972.

"Brother, can you travel thousands of miles a day with just such a thing?"

Lao Zhu watched the speed become slower and slower, and finally stopped, and the front of the car was steaming black "Long Dragon", his eyes were full of surprise.

"I can't."

Ji Boying replied decisively.

"But three or four thousand miles, it's not a big problem."

Hearing this, Lao Zhu nodded.

can travel three or four thousand miles a day, which is also an extremely terrifying number for the current Daming, which is enough to make Daming undergo earth-shaking changes.

This conversation between Ji Boying and Lao Zhu fell into the ears of Li Er, Zhao Da, Boss Chai and Zu Long, and when they thought that Daming would be able to configure a steam train that traveled three or four thousand miles a day in the near future, the eyes of several people instantly turned red, pure envy.

"Three or four thousand miles is just the beginning."

"You have to remember that whatever you do, you have to be patient and start with the basics."

"The development of industry is like raising a child, you have to turn over and sit on three times, roll and climb eight, learn to walk first, lay a solid foundation, and then run up."

The voice fell.

Ji Boying's eyes glanced slightly, and swept over the group of princes who were getting onto the railroad tracks one by one to observe this 'black long dragon' up close.

"You must remember."

"In the affairs of industry, you must not mess with your life."

The most feared situation is that the Ming industry is still in the steam age, and as a result, the emperor wants to eat rabbit meat, and suddenly a holy decree comes, requiring that within three years, the Royal Tiangong Institute must go to the moon to bring back the rabbits of Chang'e's family and stew them.

This situation is like a certain bridge in Journey to the West.

The nine-headed insect ordered Ben Bo Erba: You go and get rid of Tang Seng and his apprentices.

The boss is not terrible, the terrible thing is that the boss is uneducated, one day he invites you to eat three dishes, and asks you to make a game to kill Timi.

"Can't even hear it?!"

Lao Zhu followed with a broken drink.

An instant.

These princes of heaven, who were all focused on the steam train, came back to their senses, straightened their waists and straightened their bodies one by one.

"Yes!"

Ji Boying bowed slightly.

What he was most worried about was that after the industry was opened, these sons of heaven would give various indicators to the Tiangong Academy with their eyes closed.

Professional things are left to professional people to do, since they have chosen, then don't beep blindly if you have nothing to do, don't blindly regulate, this is the best help for development.

"Immortal Master, can we go in and have a look?"

It was the Apocalypse Song Yingxing who spoke.

The other fourteen people also looked at Ji Boying, obviously all of them had the same demands.

"Yes."

Ji Boying fell into a word.

Crash.

The crowd's eyes changed and they appeared in front of the boiler room of the steam train.

"It's coal!"

"Why does burning coal make this make the steam train run so fast?!"

“………………”

The sound of the discussion started, obviously relying on these descendants of the Zhu family to understand the heat energy conversion, which is not very realistic.

And Song Yingxing, Zhu Zaiyu, Xu Guangqi, and Wang Zheng, the fifteen people, looked at the blazing boiler, and their eyes were shining.

As the saying goes, the layman looks at the excitement, and the insider looks at the doorway.

When they saw the structure of this boiler, the fifteen people began to study it, trying to memorize all the structures of this boiler, and they could directly imitate it when they returned.

"You don't need to write it on the spot, I'll give you a model of a steam train later, and you can trace back the structure of the model."

Ji Boying glanced at the fifteen people.

The reason why he wanted to show these people was to make them feel the shock.

"Yes."

Fifteen people saluted one after another, but obviously did not intend to give up just like that, still pondering the structure of the boiler, the fire box, the smoke box, the pot carcass, etc.

And at this very moment.

The surrounding scenery changes suddenly.

The black dragon in front of me is gone, the steam boiler is gone, and the "9" platform is gone.

What came into the eyes of everyone was a bleak scene, a road with no end in sight, and on this road, there were shirtless, scrawny laborers, laying railroad sleepers.

"After mastering the use of the steam engine, the principle of the steam locomotive is not complicated, and you can start building it when you refine the smelting technology of steel in various planes and planes."

"The real core point and the investment of financial, manpower and material resources lies in the laying of railway tracks."

"The railroad you see now is called the Death Railway, and on the day it was built, there were sparkling bones lying under every sleeper."

To show Lao Zhu and his gang this, the main reason is to convey to them a perception that building a railway is a very laborious matter.

Ji Boying swept past the laborers who were repairing the railroad tracks in front of him, and behind these laborers, there were Yaga in Japanese-style military uniforms, holding whips and rifles on their backs, and they were scolding with whips.

"Slaves?!"

Wu Zong Zhu Houzhao, who originally looked listless throughout the class, would stand beside Xiao Ri, listening to the birds' voices, and frowning.

He was very interested in foreign languages, and after he took a peaceful place in Wajima, he also learned a few words of bird language, and he could hear it as soon as he heard it.

"Hmm."

"In order to build this railway, the Wa State captured 400,000 laborers, many of whom were children of the Han family."

The voice fell.

These princes of heaven are all angry in their eyes, they have no way to change the fait accompli of other time and space, but they can change their own time and space.

"Today's class is closed, I will go back and make a holy decree, ordering people to transport all the Japanese slaves on the island back to my Ming Dynasty, so that these Japanese slaves can all go to build the railway, and only eat one steamed bun a day!"

"Steamed buns? Why is it so extravagant? ”

"How can these slaves be qualified to eat steamed buns?"

"I suggest that the local officials be ordered to collect the leftover food eaten by the people's pigs and dogs, and not to waste it, so as to give it to these Japanese slaves who build railways."

"Great idea!"

"That's a brilliant plan!"

“…………………”

Wu Zong, who proposed the plan, raised his head slightly.

In the recognition of everyone, this will finally regain a little inner self-confidence.

"Brother, we don't think this method is appropriate."

Listening to the discussion of these children and grandchildren, Lao Zhu's brows couldn't help frowning.

"Our Ming Dynasty has a vast territory, and if the land expands in the future, the territory will be more prosperous, and if you want to lay a railway in the whole territory of the Ming Dynasty, especially the railway to Siberia, it will inevitably consume a lot of labor during the period."

"If these Japanese slaves are exhausted and starved to death, who will build a railway for us in the future."

Speaking of which, Lao Zhu's meaning is also clear.

He didn't have any humanitarian concern for these little days, he was simply worried that if the little days died, there would be no free labor for Daming to repair the railway.

"Father is right."

"Only fine water can flow for a long time, and we must ensure a certain level of domestic Japanese slaves, so that we can continuously supply my Ming labor."

At this time, Ah Biao, who had just finished verifying the results, also stood up, came to Lao Zhu's side, nodded and said.

'Slaves? ’

These words fell on the ears of Zhao Da Li Er and Boss Chai, and they were all surprised.

Of course, a few of them knew which country the 'Wa' represented, but they just didn't expect that the Ming Dynasty had already destroyed this cross-sea island country, and they couldn't figure out what was the use of spending this energy to destroy this island country?

As for Zulong Yingzheng, he didn't understand what it meant to be a slave at all.

After all, the word "Wa", the word "Wa" is the name of the country given by the founding emperor of the Eastern Han Dynasty and the great demon mentor Liu Xiu, and Zulong, a person from BC, naturally does not know.

"You decide exactly how to arrange the Japanese slaves."

In this matter, Ji Boying did not get involved, how to use these small days, and the Ming of various time and space can decide themselves.

Because, there is a high probability that it will not be used up.

Although the land area of the island country is small, it has not been weak in terms of population base, and before Xiaori entered the modern era, the period corresponding to the Ming Dynasty, the population base has been maintained at about 10 million, and even if it is the most serious stage of the Warring States, there are 7 million.

With a population of 10 million, excluding the old, weak, women and children, the labor force that can be used to replace forced labor is at least two or three million, and this scale of labor force is enough to support the current century-old development of the Ming Dynasty.

And even if the Japanese slaves run out, there is still a group of black monkeys in the distant land of Africa, and this is all free labor.

No matter how bad it is.

Daming has already expanded overseas, and there are not too many foreigners who want to come to Daming to work, and there are as many cheap labor as there are.

With the power of the world, we will support the Ming Dynasty.

"Remember one thing."

Ji Boying swept over these princes of heaven with a solemn expression.

"If you want to get rich, build roads first."

The voice fell.

Everyone instantly felt a sense of weightlessness welling up in their hearts, and the surrounding scene changed again, the railroad and labor in front of them all disappeared, and when the vision stabilized again, everyone's pupils shrank sharply.

Shocked, in the starry sky.

To be precise, it is in the Earth's low earth orbit.

"The world where I am is is a ball?!"

The speaker, the first emperor of the ancestral dragon is in power.

He looked at the big aqua blue ball below, his eyes horrified.

Ying Zheng felt that his worldview was shattered.

Not only Ying Zheng, but also Li Er, Zhao Da, and Boss Chai, these three people also looked at this blue planet, and their faces were all surprised, and their faces were full of disbelief.

Although there was already a theory of armillary heaven in the Western Han Dynasty: the armillary sky is like a chicken, the celestial body is round like a projectile, and the earth is like a chicken in the middle yellow.

But the profession of emperor generally does not believe in science.

Song Yingxing and the other fifteen people all looked calm, only amazed at the creator.

These top scientists and astronomers in the Ming Dynasty are of course very clear about whether the earth is a ball or not.

In particular, Xu Guangqi, a famous astronomer, took the lead in introducing the concept of a circular earth in his Chongzhen almanac, and at the same time introduced longitude and latitude, and based on the Tycho catalog and the traditional Chinese star catalog, combined to make the first all-day star map of the Ming Dynasty.

And Lao Zhu, the group of great tomorrow princes, also did not have much change in expression, because they had already been surprised before.

"Watch out."

As soon as the immortal master spoke, everyone looked away with bated breath.

I saw the immortal master raise his hand a little.

Moment.

The aqua-blue ball below, the territory that belongs to the land of China, suddenly has a staggered vertical and horizontal light.

Ji Boying pointed to these rays and spoke.

"The red ones are the railroad lines, the purple ones are the sea routes, the gold ones are the air routes, and the white ones are the road lines, and these four lines make up the traffic of the future."

Everyone's eyes are on these four intertwined threads, and under the interlacing, a unique beauty comes up from the heart.

Only the First Emperor was in power, and his brows were furrowed at this time.

He was thinking about another question.

Is it such a small place?

It turns out that there are so many countries outside the land of China?!

How could such a vast land not belong to Great Qin? At that moment, the heart of expansion, which had been suspended for more than ten years, burned in the heart of Zu Long at this moment, which was the spirit in the bones of the old Qin people.

Call~!

As Ji Boying moved, the surrounding scene began to change rapidly, like a piece of VCR, green trains, high-speed rail, passenger planes, supercars...

These images flew quickly, and in the end, they all shattered like a dream bubble, and everything returned to the original view of the main church.

These great princes are still in the shock brought by the picture.

"Fifteen of you, in another place."

On the podium C, Ji Boying glanced at Song Yingxing and the other fifteen people, the next class that the head of the Tiangong Academy is going to take, unlike these princes of heaven, what Ji Boying wants to show them are the accompanying films behind all kinds of teaching materials.

"Lianxiang, take you to the second floor."

In a word.

Lian Xiang had already stepped forward, smiling and leading Song Yingxing's fifteen people to the second floor.

"Brother, this is?"

Lao Zhu was puzzled, why did he lead these people to the second floor alone, could there be anything that he couldn't listen to as the prince of heaven.

"There are some things that you don't understand, and there's no need to listen to them."

Ji Boying patted Lao Zhu on the shoulder.

What I have just seen and talked about these great tomorrows is actually a relatively vague conceptual cognition.

More specifically, such as the history of the internal structure of the steam locomotive, the heat energy conversion, such as the internal combustion engine train after the steam locomotive, and then the high-speed railway, as well as the principle and development history of the steam cruise ship, the internal combustion cruise ship, and the flying passenger aircraft, as well as the supporting facilities that need to be built, including smelting technology, engineering mechanics, material science, etc.

These contents are basically boring textbook documentaries.

To the average person, this thing is just boring, and it's incomprehensible.

But for Song Yingxing, a group of top scientists in the Ming Dynasty, it is an absolute treasure.

"Father, since the immortal master said, there will be no mistake."

Ah Biao on the side then spoke, and saluted Ji Boying again.

"Immortal Master, everyone's results have been fully calculated, and the results have been put on the table."

Ah Biao's voice fell.

The group of princes who had just sat down were all breathing suddenly, and everyone's eyes fell on the piece of rice paper on the lesson plan.

One by one, they stretched their necks and looked at the lesson plan on the podium, and they almost turned into giraffes.

"Hmm."

Ji Boying bowed slightly.

He was actually very curious, according to the formula he came up with, what the final calculated level of the Prince of Heaven looked like.

Who is the champion? Who is the leader? Who is Tanhua again?

The old Zhu of this meeting had already withdrawn his gaze from Song Yingxing and the others who were heading to the second floor, and turned to look at the rice paper panel behind the podium.

According to the order of the class, after the theory class, it is the most anticipated practical observation class.

Lao Zhu has been waiting for this class for a long time.

"Exploring the Causes of Chongzhen's Demise"

I can finally go to Chongzhen's time and space, and I can finally see the Chongzhen who killed that day with my own eyes!

Not only Lao Zhu, but also everyone else thought the same, and they were all gearing up.

The two most exciting nodes of a dynasty are the founding and the fall.

"Before the actual start of the practical observation class, there is a quarter of an hour break between classes."

Ji Boying glanced at the group of princes of heaven present, and then his gaze turned and fell on Zhao Da Li Er and his gang in the foreign diocese.

Fang Cai had already promised Zhao Da and Li Er that after the first class, they would answer the questions they wanted to know.

Just in time, take advantage of this class to get these done.

"Song Taizu."

Ji Boying took the lead in looking at Zhao Da, and shouted Song Taizu very face-saving.

In everything, there has to be a rule.

Since Fang Cai Zhao Da was the first foreign teacher to stand up for class, and he was under the strong psychological pressure given by Boss Chai, it was natural for him to be the first to ask questions.

Li Er next to him had no objection to this, and they all had to come in order.

"The immortal master is too polite, the immortal master can call the kid Xiao Zhao."

Zhao Da broke through the rivers and lakes in his early years, and was a junior brother in the army, and also received a bunch of younger brothers.

"Well, Xiao Zhao."

"Name your problem."

The immortal master's words fell.

Everyone's eyes fell on Zhao Da in an instant.

Especially these people surnamed Zhu, their eyes are full of curiosity.

Look at the excitement, eat melons, don't chill.

"Yes."

Zhao Da took a deep breath, and then spoke, obviously having prepared the question in advance, and there was no need to think deeply about it.

"Immortal Master, the kid wants to know, my Great Song Dynasty can recover the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun in the future."

The voice fell.

Everyone present had different expressions.

The descendants of the Ming Zhu family, led by Lao Zhu, were filled with pride and pride on their faces when they heard about the sixteen states of Yanyun, because the sixteen states of Yanyun that the Song Dynasty had been engaged in back and forth for hundreds of years, and the Ming Dynasty had completely completed it in only one year.

The sixteen states of Yanyun that were lost from Shi Jingjiao's hands returned to the Han family for the first time in the hands of Lao Zhu more than 400 years later.

As for Zu Long, he didn't know what this Yanyun Sixteen Prefectures was at all, after all, the times were too far apart, and the place names were different.

Li Er frowned, obviously wondering, why did this Yanyun Sixteen Prefectures still be lost? How did you mix it up?!

Boss Chai's expression was as dignified as Zhao Da, and Boss Chai was also looking forward to the answer to this question, Yanyun Sixteen Prefectures, for the Central Plains during the Five Dynasties, it was a pain to the bone.

This is like Shandong, which was cut off by a small day after the end of World War I, which is really distressing.

Ji Boying glanced at Zhao Da.

For Zhao Da's question, he was slightly surprised.

Ji Boying originally thought that Zhao General Assembly would propose something about the Second Emperor of Huiqin, but he didn't expect that it was Yanyun Sixteen Prefectures who were the first to ask.

Yanyun Sixteen Prefectures, this is the pain that runs through the Song Dynasty for three hundred years.

If the sixteen states of Yanyun are counted, then the Song Dynasty has never really been unified, and has always thought that it is all missing a piece, and it will be more and more lacking in the future, which is also one of the reasons why the Song Dynasty has a low victory rate in foreign wars, but it has fallen behind a weak Song Dynasty.

Compared with other dynasties, the international status of the Han, Tang, Yuan, Ming, and Song dynasties is really too good.

After Zhao Da established the Great Song Dynasty, he changed Boss Chai's unification strategy according to the actual situation, and reformulated the unification path of first the south and then the north, but when the south was done, Zhao Da found that the Liao State had completed self-integration, and it was unrealistic to want to attack.

Therefore, Zhao Dayi patted his head, made a 'piggy bank', set up a pile sealing warehouse in Kaifeng, and claimed to have saved enough money to buy Yanyun Sixteen Prefectures from the Khitan.

But in reality, everyone knows that this idea is pure nonsense.

There may still be hope in other places, but with the dangerous topography of the sixteen states of Yanyun, even if you give the Khitans more money, as long as the Liao people don't have a problem with their brains, they will never be able to sell it.

The truth of a saturated meal and a full meal, these Khitans still understand.

The Khitans understand, and of course Zhao Da understands.

Therefore, the reason why Zhao Da engaged in such a pile sealing warehouse, and deliberately made such a big fanfare, has four essential purposes.

One is to fool the Liao State and make the Khitans relax their vigilance.

The second is to plug the mouths of those lords and factions in the DPRK and China.

The third is that there is an excuse to increase military spending on a large scale internally, and the core is to create a powerful elite army that can break through the Khitan and recover the sixteen states of Yanyun in one fell swoop.

The fourth is to accumulate wealth for the country.

In addition to the third point, Zhao Da did do the other points.

In the year when Zhao Da was killed, a large amount of money had been accumulated in the sealed pile warehouse in Kaifeng, and the national strength was full.

The reason why Zhao Er, Taizong of the Song Dynasty, was able to defeat the Northern Han Dynasty in one fell swoop and was arrogant in front of the Liao State and the people of the world, was because of the powerful elite soldiers left by Zhao Da and the massive financial support in the sealing warehouse.

However.

This seed of hope was created by Zhao Da with all his hard work.

In a place called Gaoliang River, Zhao Er personally drew a complete end, and also completely closed the door for the Great Song Dynasty to recover the sixteen states of Yanyun.

More than 20 years later, Zhao Er's son Zhao Heng put an anti-theft lock on this door again, and threw the key away very intimately.

Even with it, Zhao Daxing has survived for more than ten years, and the massive amount of money in the pile vault has also been emptied by Zhao Er and Taishan Emperor Huohuo.

(Emperor Taishan: Song Zhenzong's nickname)

Ji Boying glanced at Zhao Da, and did not answer verbally, but turned around and picked up the bucket pen on the pen holder under the panel of this rice paper, waved it like ink, and left two lines of words on the rice paper.

"Sorghum River Rider"

"Tanyuan Alliance"

Zhao Da looked at the two lines of words on the rice paper, his eyes were full of doubts, and he didn't know what this meant.

"Ah Biao, pay attention to classroom discipline."

Ji Boying glanced at Ah Biao, who immediately understood the meaning and saluted respectfully.

Then, the immortal master's gaze swept over Zhao Da.

"First of all, let's analyze the sorghum river car god."

Anyway.

Ji Boying's figure disappeared suddenly, and then Zhao Da, Li Er, Chai Rong and Zulong Yingzheng disappeared together.

The purpose of the immortal master's teaching: to explain a hundred times, it is better to see it with your own eyes.

………………

The time and space of Yongxi in the Great Song Dynasty, the third year of Yongxi, and the eve of Zhao Jiong's second Northern Expedition of Taizong of the Song Dynasty.

Ask for a monthly pass!!
