Chapter 166: Laying the Foundation

"No, there are matching ones."

Ye Yu said, "The steering is right, the station of the rail car and the route of the railroad track need to be redesigned. ”

With that, they returned to the design room of the secret guard yamen, and everyone began to study how to deploy the station.

After all, there is no electric power, and someone still needs to control the track on the side.

"Let's get here first, let's do it slowly, it's enough to test the rail car in the past few days."

Ye Yu nodded as he spoke, encouraging everyone.

Then let them go about their own problems.

Of course, only Zhangye remained.

"Zhangye, you have to work harder."

Ye Yu opened his mouth and said, "The railway is the foundation, but it also needs a little bit. ”

"What else does Your Highness command?"

"Around the capital, the uncultivated wasteland was used to build factories."

Ye Yu spoke slowly, "Let these craftsmen take in some apprentices, starting from the edge of the secret guard yamen." ”

"Factory?"

Zhang Ye is very unfamiliar with these.

"It's centralized manufacturing."

Ye Yu explained, "You can't expect that in the future, all this equipment will be sent out from your secret guard yamen, right? Hundreds of thousands of guns are wrong, at least millions of bullets and firearms. ”

"Got it!"

Zhang Ye nodded, "It's these factories......"

"As a government officer, I will confirm orders and money."

Ye Yu said, "Let's call it the No. 1 Gun Factory in the Southern Dynasties, I remember that there are still many places in the south, right?" Moved some people to be in charge of mining, and of course, these people set off while building the railroad after it was designed. ”

"I see!"

Only then did Zhang Ye understand the purpose of Ye Yu being so anxious to mention the railway!

If you continue south from here, there is a lot of land that is almost uninhabited. They can use the railway along the way to build, mining and rubber!

"Of course, if you are an indigenous, you must not have a conflict with them, tell me first, you also know my attitude towards the natives."

Ye Yu nodded.

The submission of the Beilin tribe is very revealing.

"I understand."

Zhang Ye nodded.

"Remember, don't be in a hurry, it's not a one-time success."

Ye Yu finally instructed, "I just put forward some concepts, to implement, to do, it will take a long time." ”

"Son, I heard that you have built a railway, where is it?"

Ye Xiong heard about the railway, and brought Mr. Wenzhu with great interest.

"Outside."

Ye Yu said, "But there are only more than three miles of railroad tracks. ”

"By the way, Zhangye, make some more curved rails and make the outer one into a ring."

He suddenly thought of it, so he said, "Father, when Zhang Ye is done, I will take you to play in person." ”

After all, after their own "ears and eyes", Ye Xiong and Mr. Wenzhu are also very interested in these new inventions.

"Good!"

It didn't take long for the prototype of the rails to form a closed loop, and the front of the locomotive was equipped with a brake device.

Of course, the brakes are made of rubber.

"Father, Mr. Wenzhu, come up."

Ye Yu said and pedaled the stairs to get into the car.

Gongsun Ling'er sat in the back of the guest's seat.

"Father followed me on the footsteps."

Ye Yu said and sat at the front to control the brakes and shifts.

On the seats on both sides of the back, Ye Xiong and Mr. Wen Zhu began to pedal hard.

The front of the car slowly moves, and the speed is getting faster and faster!

"So fast?"

Although it is a big loop of three or four miles, the speed of the front of the car is getting faster and faster.

"With this shift, it will be easier to start, and when the speed comes up, you can step faster and faster by shifting gears."

Ye Yu pointed to the gear shift and hand-cranked brake on his seat and explained, "You don't have to step on it for the time being." ”

Ye Xiong and Mr. Wen Zhu then stopped, but saw that the speed was still unabated!

"If it stops, it's my brake."

Ye Yu said, and began to turn the wheel of the handcrank brake, slowly slowing down the speed.

In the end, the front of the car was completely stable.

"This thing is good, add a few ...... You're calling a carriage, right? ”

"It's a must to send the army!"

Ye Xiong looked at this thing with a smile.

Of course, even if Ye Yu didn't tell Zhang Ye about this function, he could guess it.

After all, this is a basic means of transportation, and its uses are diverse.

"Of course, in the future, the entire Southern Dynasties will be connected in all directions, and I estimate that it will only take one day from here to the border."

Ye Yu said with a smile.

"Hahaha, son, your inventions are shocking, and I haven't gotten tired of playing with the rifle in front of me!"

Ye Xiong was overjoyed.

"There's more to come."

Ye Yu spoke slowly.

"But I'm a little worried about you letting Gongsun Ce come back."

Ye Xiong put away his smile and spoke slowly, "Ye Lie can't be so good. ”

"I guess he's already thinking about quitting."

Ye Yu opened his mouth and said, "After such a battle, they should know how terrifying my so-called demon art is. The longer it drags on, the more they can't beat it. ”

"What about raids?"

"I have set up a secret sentry on the border, and let Yang Jiang's team stay for a few more days to scare them."

He went on to explain, "Fighting a war is about burning money, either you withdraw from the army or you can continue to burn money, and I think he should have made a wise choice." ”

"What Your Highness said is extremely true, this hurdle will only make the contradiction between the Jia Dynasty and us deeper and deeper."

Mr. Wenzhu said, "These are all temporary, if they are not resolved, there will be a war sooner or later." ”

"Mr. Wenzhu, I think about it, as long as he can stabilize now, he will not be my opponent in the future."

Ye Yu replied calmly.

"Didn't Your Highness think that he would learn these weapons?"

Mr. Wen Zhu said, "If the weapon gap is closed, the million army will probably be even more terrifying." ”

"Learn, let him learn."

Ye Yu smiled, "Even if he can learn, he can't make it." ”

"Why?"

Ye Xiong's brows furrowed, "The Jia Dynasty has a large territory, and its products are quite rich. ”

"Father, Mr. Wenzhu, how much copper and iron ore do you think you need to make these things?"

"Zhangye, you tell them."

Ye Yu said and waved his hand to let Zhang Ye speak.

"King Qiyu, Mr. Wenzhu Qi, these guns and railways are almost made of copper and iron like the Jia Dynasty."

Hearing this, both Ye Xiong and Mr. Wen Zhu couldn't help but gasp!

"Consumes a lot. It is already difficult for me to equip Yang Jiang's 2,000-strong troops. ”

"He wants to equip a million-strong army? Hollowing out the entire Jia Dynasty can't be done! ”

Ye Yu said and sighed, "Otherwise, why would I increase the development of ore and increase the reserves from the private salt and iron of the Jia Dynasty?" ”

"I see, so you're going to use the railroad in the woods and hills to the south first?"

Ye Xiong said, only to see Ye Yu nodding.

"Mr. Wenzhu said something very right before, it is the national strength of the whole country that fights for war."

"If I continue to have fun and conduct research during this time, I will only hollow out the entire Southern Dynasty."

Ye Yu slowly spoke, "The life of the people, big industry, big agriculture and big business, is a treasure. ”

Ye Xiong frowned slightly and nodded.

His son is really mature.
