Whenever he came to Northeast Tai Village and saw his factory, although it was not big, Zhu Gaochi always felt a little confident in his heart.

Whether it's facing the present, or dealing with the future.

If he can be a vassal king in peace, Zhu Gaochi is still willing, and he doesn't have to toss.

However, he knew that the future emperor would not be the crown prince, but the prince's son would become the emperor.

In the future, not to mention how the sword and blood in the court will be, their vassal kings will also face the strategy of cutting the domain.

And it was a strategy to cut the feudal domain for the order of the vassal king.

Of the first few feudal kings who were cut down, one feudal king died by self-immolation, and four feudal kings were exiled to the frontier.

Where is this cutting the domain, this is forcing the vassal king to death.

In the end, it was Zhu Di's turn, and he didn't accept the end of cutting the feudal domain, so he could only rebel.

If Lao Tzu's rebellion fails, will the eldest son escape?

So Zhu Gaochi has to be built.

A few years of initial industrialization of Beiping, with the inefficient circulation rate of the Ming agricultural society, will not let the opponent have time to learn.

It is impossible that industry has just risen on his side, and Ying Tianfu has also risen with it.

If he can have this learning efficiency, Zhu Gaochi thinks that Zhu Di can directly play the white flag, because this is no longer the Ming Dynasty.

"The owner."

"Little Lord."

"The eldest son."

……

The people he met on the road saluted him one after another, and Zhu Gaochi also nodded kindly. He is a noble man, but he is young and has a low rank, and it is the right way to be polite to others.

Just like the Wanli Emperor in history, when he was a teenager, he not only greeted the elders, but also prepared hot soup for the gentlemen.

When I reach middle age, I face a completely different attitude towards young officials, but this is a change in age, not just a change in status.

If Zhu Di had kept a straight face to the generals and officials below in Beiping Mansion all day long, and looked like he was on top, it would have been impossible for Beiping Mansion to rebel with him.

Because he is polite to people on weekdays and values people from the bottom of his heart, he will win the hearts of the people of Beiping Mansion.

When he is in trouble, people are willing to take the initiative to sacrifice their lives to help him.

In the same way, since we want to develop industrialization, we cannot do without all kinds of talents, and how can we obtain the effectiveness of talents?

In addition to money, affection is also needed.

"Where's Xiao Jiu?"

After walking around and not seeing Lao Jiu, Zhu Gaochi asked.

"Master Xiaojiu didn't go out for several days, drawing pictures in the house every day, eating or drinking, or sleeping, and he was about to become an immortal."

asked the direction clearly, and someone took the initiative to take the nobleman there.

Someone led the way, and Zhu Gaochi quickly came to the house where Xiao Jiu was.

Push open the door, and look at the chaos.

Zhu Gaochi walked in cautiously, there was almost no place to put his feet, and there was still untouched rice in the corner of the wall, which had already been frozen into a lump.

"Xiao Jiu, you also have to pay attention to your body." Seeing Xiao Jiu, who was full of dirt, and the two of them before, Zhu Gaochi said with admiration and distress.

There are such talents who forget to sleep and eat under their hands, who doesn't care about it.

"I heard that you don't even eat, day and night are reversed, this is not good."

"Ahh

Xiao Jiu raised his head blankly, his face was full of displeasure, who would disturb him again, his godless eyes gradually became clear, and then he saw the person clearly, and he was so frightened that he hurriedly got up and saluted.

"Whether it's iron or wood, I'm still not sure." Without waiting for the nobleman to speak, Xiao Jiu took the initiative to complain.

Compared with his master's attitude, Xiao Jiu is very willing to get close to the nobleman, because the nobleman is very good to him and has the grace to save his life.

"Why don't you rest the meeting first, and don't you rush this meeting?"

"If the matter is not resolved, I can't let go of it in my heart, but I have been worried, it is better to calm down and draw, I am at ease."

Hearing Lao Jiu's words, Zhu Gaochi became more confident in Lao Jiu.

Lao Jiu is Wan San's most valued apprentice, his talent is proven, and this person's selfless devotion to technology proves that this person is not in vain.

Since he couldn't persuade him, Zhu Gaochi also wanted to see if the problems encountered by Lao Jiu could provide ideas for partial solutions.

At the beginning of the birth of the railway, there were wooden sleepers and iron sleepers used in the interior of the mines, and the two tracks have been used until later generations.

The first railroad in Shandong, China, was built by the Germans in order to control the colony.

In order to build this railway, under the oppression of the German powers, the blood and tears of hundreds of people were buried.

Wooden sleepers can be used in the West, even if the service life is short, not as long as the service life of iron sleepers, and it needs more cost to renovate, but it can also maintain the cost performance.

However, due to the climate in China, the life span of wooden sleepers in Shandong will be shorter, so German engineers finally used iron sleepers after consultation.

Shandong and Beiping have similar climates, and if you learn from this line of thinking, you should use iron pillows, but Zhu Gaochi is not familiar with the actual situation and does not dare to draw conclusions.

Especially now that it is the Ming Dynasty, whether the conditions in all aspects can keep up, whether the wooden sleeper or the iron sleeper is more suitable at the moment, and the craftsmen need to discuss.

The theory of the railroad track was thoroughly understood at one o'clock, so he became the designer of the railway.

"The cost of the rails is high, the cost of the wooden rails is low, and the time to make the rails is long, but it is more reliable."

Hearing Lao Jiu's troubles, Zhu Gaochi thought about it and put forward a new suggestion: "It's better to use both methods." ”

If you consider the cost, you must choose one to promote on a large scale.

But Zhu Gaochi's identity is different, he has to consider not only business, but also the development of industry.

It is not to build a large railway immediately, but to use a small section of the railway internally, which is more suitable for craftsmen to experiment and explore more practical railway technology.

Even if Lao Jiu's talent is amazing, Zhu Gaochi doesn't dare to take a big step at the beginning, and it is easy to get an egg.

Although industrial development has a direction for progress under his promotion, it also needs to be taken step by step and cannot violate the law.

Even if the coal industry is not developed, it is impossible to promote the success of other industries.

Coal was the industrial blood of the 17th and 19th centuries, and this definition is not a textbook description.

"Will it cause opposition from the owners?" Lao Jiu asked worriedly.

Zhu Gaochi pondered for a moment, deciding that he still wanted to bleed on his own.

"About the railway, let's talk to the businessmen, in terms of price, give a special price, don't make money, only protect the capital."

The most troublesome thing about railways is not technology.

What he wants to promote is the most rudimentary railway, and it is not the kind of railway of later generations, so there is no technical content.

The birth of the railroad was that the iron in the hands of the coal yard owner could not be sold, and there was no place to place it, and there was no place to throw it, and it would cost to transport it, so he thought of reburying it in the ground.

Who would have thought that with the iron pavement, it not only solves the trouble of the coal boss without vacant land, but also enhances the transportation capacity of the road.

In order to make each horse-drawn wagon pull more coal, it wanted to build a longer iron road, and in order to save costs, I thought of building two simple railroad tracks, so that the wheels of the horse-drawn wagons could run on the tracks.

That's how railways came in.

However, with the development of railways, more and more scholars came to study it, and it gradually became a science.

Xiao Jiu has never seen the real thing, he needs to rely on his imagination to make it from scratch, of course, there will be many problems, Zhu Gaochi also needs Lao Jiu to combine with reality and promote the railway that is in line with the development of the current era.

Therefore, Zhu Gaochi can only provide ideas, and as for the final means, it needs Xiao Jiu to figure it out and get the approval of the coal bosses in order to make the railway prosperous.
