"Looks like you care a lot about steam wagons."

Zhu Di's excited performance surprised Zhu Di, how many years have he not seen his son behave like this.

The load capacity is only 9,000 catties, and the speed is slow, only thirty-eight miles per hour, and the speed of riding a horse is not as fast as that, although it can be seen to be effective, but it is not worth being so surprised.

"The efficiency of steam engine trains is still very low, and the demand for roads is high, but it must be the way of the future."

Zhu Gaochi said affirmatively.

The West, which began the industrial revolution, has achieved great results one after another, not only surpassing the East in terms of technology, but also far surpassing the East in terms of social model.

For example, the birth of the steam engine car.

The original steam engine car was very simple in structure, not high in technology, and there was no difference in the times.

French Army technician, artillery captain Nicolas Gounod, in 1736, at the age of thirty-eight, Gounod resigned and returned to France as a technical officer in the French army.

The Duke of Shoixl Apollois, then Minister of War of France, was a powerful figure in the government who was also Minister of Foreign Affairs and Minister of the Admiralty, and he supported Gounod's idea to research a steam car for towing cannons, and allocated 20,000 livres to pay for the prototype.

It took Gounod six years to build the world's first steam car with practical value in 1769.

The steam engine used was the original Newman steam engine, not the second generation Watt steam engine.

The second generation of the Watt steam engine had just been invented in the same year, and had not yet been put into production, and one was in England and one in France.

The technology of the steam engine is not a problem.

The Watt steam engine is not difficult, the Newkman steam engine is even more rudimentary, the difficult thing is the replacement of manpower by machines, and the social model of machine production machines.

However, the French Minister of War, Duke Shoixel Apollois, was dismissed, the same man died, and Gounod's follow-up research was stopped, and it was only half a century later that the steam engine car was rediscovered.

Technological inventions before modern times were mainly craftsmen, including automobiles with steam engines.

Unlike the West, today's Ming Dynasty has Zhu Gaochi's guidance, and there will be no interruption or regression, or it needs to go through the slow fermentation of the natural market, so the use of steam engine trains has received greater support.

The steam engine wagon invented by Golden State uses the second-generation steam engine, which is more efficient than the steam engine wagon invented by Gounod, and has high practical value, unlike the Newkemen steam engine, which consumes coal and is less expensive to use.

In a nutshell.

The steam engine wagon invented by Golden State has already met the basic conditions for putting it into the market.

Although Zhu Di couldn't understand it, he still chose to believe in his son on the road of industry, and the role of the boss was so great that he was also interested in the new steam engine truck.

The steam engine wagons were loaded onto the steam engine steamer and escorted by Jinzhou technicians to Yingtianfu by sea.

"This is what His Royal Highness the Imperial Sun values very much."

Several officials who had come to greet him looked at the large box and looked through the gap between the woods, but saw nothing but a black patch.

"Let's go."

"I'm afraid I won't see it when I get to the capital."

on the pier.

The disassembled parts, each of which was packed in large wooden boxes, were transported to a horse-drawn carriage and then transported by train to the capital.

The steam engine wagon invented by Golden State is only one word different from the steam engine train.

The importance of the steam engine train has been widely known, and under the praise of the newspapers, people have exploded with great enthusiasm, full of curiosity about this guy, what kind of difference will be made.

Zhu Yuanzhang, who rarely went out, also heard the movement.

"It's rare and rare."

Zhu Yuanzhang was hunched a little, and he looked a lot shorter than before.

At the beginning, the construction site in the new city was gone, and those old friends went to Tiannan and Haibei, and they may have occasionally chatted about the talkative little old man they met in the capital when they were drinking.

Zhu Yuanzhang also misses that time.

However, forgetting each other in the rivers and lakes can be regarded as a beautiful fate.

Li Daoxin no longer interfered in the affairs of Jinyiwei and accompanied Zhu Yuanzhang on the streets of the capital.

The old capital area has not changed much.

The further you go, the more you go, the bigger the change, the road is wider than the original straight road, paved with stone bricks, very strong, separated by railroad tracks, pedestrians on one side.

On the streets, there are people selling tea, sweet water, sugar cane, ice drinks, etc., to quench the thirst of pedestrians.

The thatched hut at the end of the road, slightly inside, has a sign in front of it to guide pedestrians.

"I heard that His Royal Highness the Imperial Prince is very excited, and he attaches great importance to this thing."

Li Daoxin said with a smile.

"This kid just likes to mess around."

Zhu Yuanzhang scolded, but he was smiling at the corners of his eyes.

on the streets.

The men wore all kinds of clothes, all kinds of long shirts, short coats, and racers, medium clothes, new clothes, etc., and the women also increased, wearing all kinds of dresses.

From the Qin and Han dynasties to the Tang and Song dynasties.

Beautiful patterns were created one by one, and even some adjustments were made to highlight the beauty of the women.

Because of the cheapness of coal and the popularity of honeycomb coal, many ordinary people in the city used irons.

The clothes were ironed as good as new.

Girls in groups of threes and twos, holding exquisite folding fans or paper fans in their hands, the hanging ornaments on their bodies are shining, and they are lively and lovely.

There are also men and women who travel together.

The carriages that came and went also had their own styles, with many patterns carved on the outside.

"The people are doing well."

Zhu Yuanzhang sighed.

The streets of the capital are in good order.

In the box installed on the pillar at the entrance of the fixed shop, the inspector Ding Cha has to sketch his name, and at the end of each month, the officials of the inspection department will change the roll call list in the street box.

Draw a circle today, draw a fork tomorrow, and write A class the day after tomorrow, so that the inspectors can't be lazy.

Missing an attendance will deduct money.

In order to avoid the loss of the box, it is deliberately installed at the door of some shops.

The guys in the shop have the meaning of helping to take care of it, and with the existence of the patrol Ding Cha, the safety of the place is guaranteed, and the shops are willing to take on this effortless task.

"Shhhh

Suddenly.

There was a shrill bamboo whistle in the distance, and after hearing the movement, the people looked over one after another, and the two inspectors put down what they were doing and hurriedly ran to the sound.

Those who retired from the army, their physical fitness was still there, and their legs were running fast, and after a while, they disappeared into the corner of the street.

"Master Huang, let's wait."

Li Daoxin didn't know what was going on and chose to stay where he was.

"What could it be?"

Zhu Yuanzhang was also curious.

A lot of people look strange with the past.

"Don't run."

"Stop."

A few panicked people appeared, followed by several inspectors.

Two of them were knocked down and entangled with the inspector Ding Cha behind them, and one ran desperately, and his face turned pale when he ran.

"If you run again, you'll shoot."

The man didn't seem to understand.

The inspector Ding Cha behind him took out a short gun, but on the bustling streets, the inspector Ding Cha didn't dare to shoot, the short gun's accuracy was not good enough, and he hurt passers-by, and he was finished.

Seeing that he couldn't scare the other party, the inspector Ding Cha could only put away the short gun and continued to catch up.

Li Dao made a look.

Distance.

Someone stretched out a leg and tripped the man who ran away.

"Good boy, you can really run,"

"Thank you."

Inspector Ding Cha said in surprise, people who can run better than him are really rare.

"What's going on? What do these people do? ”

The passer-by who had just helped asked.

Inspector Ding Cha shook his head helplessly: "A few Koreans sneaked away to Daming to work." ”

"Oh."

The people around him suddenly realized.

There are more and more maids from Goryeo and Wa in Daming, even if it is a 1 in 1,000 chance, they have tried all kinds of tricks to attract many men from Goryeo and Wa.

The main reason is that foreign labor is cheap, and local small workshops are willing to risk being fined to use black labor.

A few days ago, it was reported in the newspapers that it was necessary to crack down on these phenomena.

The use of maids in Goryeo and Wa is already the bottom line, and the existence of a large number of foreign cheap workers is not allowed, destroying the internal employment order of the Ming Dynasty.

"I didn't expect that."

When Zhu Yuanzhang learned about it, he was surprised.

Da Ming's changes were so fast that he couldn't recognize them.

"It's so far away."

Zhu Yuanzhang didn't react, and he really couldn't imagine how they came to Daming.

"Master, you haven't been to the beach for a long time, but now there are more ships on the sea, and the more ships go to North Korea, who knows if there are some people on the boat."

"They're not afraid of being punished?"

"Some boat bosses have the idea that it is a little more to earn, and how to check on the sea."

"It's really a man who dies for money, and a bird dies for food."

Several Koreans are still struggling, they finally came to Daming, there is no way out, and they never want to be transported back to China.

"Not honest yet."

Inspector Ding Cha knocked a few sticks before the Koreans didn't dare to struggle.

According to the employment regulations of the Inspection Division, the object of recruitment must be recruited from among the retired soldiers.

Not to mention that there were seven or eight inspectors present, even if there was only one, they would not be afraid of these three unarmed Goryeo people.

Of course.

If these people had weapons in their hands, the inspectors would not be polite, and they would not have been greeted with sticks, but leads.

A temporary accident on the street has become a topic of conversation for the people around us today.

"In the end, it is a vassal country with a heart for China, and it still has to take care of one or two." Zhu Yuanzhang said pityingly, and Li Daoxin also nodded.

Many people could not understand the emperor's grandson.

The kindness of the Chinese in their bones.

As long as people identify with the Chinese civilization, they will give the greatest benevolence.

Many foreign people, not to mention the Wa Kingdom, the Goryeo Kingdom has always regarded itself as a vassal state, and the people's hearts are towards Chinese civilization, and the imperial grandson is too strict with them, just to make a living.
