But if you want to lay a railway to Mobei, what a huge project is this?

And just a railway to Mobei is not enough.

In the territory of the Ming Dynasty, a railway is barely enough, most of the soldiers and materials come from Beijing, and only one railway from Beijing to Mobei needs to be laid.

But within Mobei.

However, it is necessary to crisscross many railways and build many fortresses to ensure that Mobei can return to its heart.

Because it was necessary to rely on these forts to station soldiers.

And complete the daily maintenance of the railway, patrol along the railway line on weekdays, prevent the occurrence of man-made damage to the railway, and if there is a rebellion, you can also immediately inform the situation.

So that Daming could send troops to Mobei as soon as possible.

That's the only way.

In order to completely let Mobei return to his heart, or in other words, there is no way to give birth to two hearts!

But the problem is.

Just laying a railway from the Gyeonggi region to Mobei is already a big problem, and in the depths of Mobei, it is even more difficult, requiring too many manpower and material resources.

This kind of decision wants to be implemented in the Ming Dynasty.

I'm afraid it will take a lot of effort.

……

Fengtian Temple.

Morning.

Zhu Yunxi after handling a lot of chores.

He said: "Gu intends to recruit 500,000 laborers from the Gyeonggi region to lay a railway to Mobei, which will be completed within half a year. ”

"This matter will be handed over to the Ministry of Industry."

"The household department coordinates from it and is responsible for special allocations."

Although the matter is handed over to the Ministry of Industry, the matter of money must not be handed over to the Ministry of Industry, otherwise the people of the Ministry of Industry will inevitably be greedy for ink or misappropriate for other purposes.

This kind of thing is not a new thing for Zhu Yunxi.

Even in later generations, there are all kinds of bizarre operations, but in the current environment of the Ming Dynasty, there is not so much room for display.

Most of them are greedy by the officials themselves.

It's just that even so, Zhu Yunxi can't be completely relieved, and he must put this matter in his most trusted household to solve it.

But just after Zhu Yunxi finished speaking.

Tobe Shangshu Xia Yuanji stood up.

said: "Your Highness...... I don't know about this railway...... What is it? ”

Xia Yuanji was a little puzzled.

Although he is in charge of household affairs and the world's money, he knows nothing about railways.

National highways, highways, he can still understand.

But the railway?

Is it a road made of steel? How is this possible! Not to mention that the current national highway is hard enough for all vehicles to pass, just say that with so much steel, Daming does not have such a high output!

At the same time, the incomprehension and doubts in Xia Yuanji's heart are also the common doubts of all the ministers of the DPRK and China.

Why didn't they know that Daming suddenly had another thing like a railway?

It's just that because the current Ming Dynasty is still very young, most of the officials in the court are young people, and the new gadgets that have popped up from time to time over the years have given them enough resistance.

So they've been able to resist the shock of these new things coming out.

Facing the questions of the Chinese military officials of the DPRK.

Zhu Yunxi did not speak.

Instead, a member of the Technical Research and Manufacturing Bureau stepped forward and explained, "Your Excellency. ”

"The so-called railway is the road needed for a new means of transportation that our Technical Research and Manufacturing Bureau has developed."

"With this new means of transportation, you don't need horses to drag it."

"Instead, you only need to rely on a large device that keeps adding coal to boil water, and you can drive it."

"Its speed can not only travel thousands of miles in a day."

"It is even more tireless, and it can travel day and night, dragging a large number of soldiers and supplies."

After someone stood up and explained.

Only then did the ministers of the court roughly understand what this railway was.

It turned out to be a new type of road.

It's just that this kind of road can't be used in conjunction with the national highway, and normal horse-drawn carriages can't pass through it, but a new type of transportation called 'train' is needed!

And the train.

As the name suggests, it's a vehicle powered by fire!

Just like the naming logic of the carriage.

There was a general understanding of this very quickly, but then more opposition followed!

"Your Highness!"

"This new type of transportation is so convenient, why did you build it in the middle of Mobei?"

"It's better to build it in the Gyeonggi area first."

"Wouldn't it be better to open up the route from the Gyeonggi area to Songgang Province?"

Although everyone still doesn't know the specific performance of this train, according to the description of the technical research and manufacturing bureau, it is clear that this kind of thing has a very strong ability to haul goods!

And it's fast, too!

Not weaker than a horse running at full strength! It's even more tireless!

But the more so.

Many ministers don't understand why Zhu Yunxi wants to lay this kind of thing in Mobei, after all, the land of Mobei is extremely desolate!

There is simply no need to develop!

And the road is obviously paved in the more prosperous the road, the more it can play its role!

Just as when the national highway was laid, it was first in the Gyeonggi area.

and then from the surrounding Yingtianfu continues to expand, and Yingtianfu has naturally become the center of the Ming Dynasty! Not just a political center, but also a military center! Economic center!

It has undertaken the task of the entire Daming cargo distribution!

Countless commodities were produced in the Ming Dynasty, and then spread to the entire Ming Dynasty through these roads that extended in all directions!

And now, new means of transportation are being invented.

It should be a good thing for the benefit of the country and the people, but now the transportation capacity of the Ming Dynasty is already clumsy.

If this kind of train can be relied on to double the transportation capacity of the Daming Jingshi, it will be enough for the Daming Jingshi to continue to develop at a high speed for several years!

But now, after His Royal Highness Taisun got this new type of transportation.

The first thing turned out to be to lay a railway to Mobei!

Naturally, this cannot be understood by the ministers of the court! I can't let the people who go out of the sea department understand!

Zhai Shan, the director of the Overseas Division, was the second to stand up.

objected: "Your Highness, such a convenient method, the minister thinks that it should be built in the hinterland of the Ming Dynasty first!" ”

"First build the railway from Jingshi to Songjiang Prefecture, and then open up the railways from many coastal cities to Jingshi!"

"In this way, Daming will be able to have several more huge outlets to the sea."

"Build more shipyards, build more ships, master and build more colonies!"

From the perspective of going to sea, Zhai Shan considered the use of the railway.

As long as there is this thing called 'train', then Daming can completely invest a large amount of materials and expand multiple ports at the mouth of other coastal areas!

For example, in the Lingnan area, several ports have been added.

It is connected by train.

Continue to transport materials to the south, and the road to the South China Sea will be more convenient for Daming!

Skip the trip!

For example, the Ming Dynasty can use the railway to connect Beijing with Shandong.

A number of outlets to the sea have been established in Shandong.

If you go to the Wa Kingdom in the future, you can go to sea from a closer place, instead of having to start from the magic capital of Songjiang Prefecture!

The territory of the Ming Dynasty is vast.

In many cases, the time and distance required to travel from different places varies.

If only the railroad were so convenient.

It can completely reduce a lot of resistance to Daming's way to the sea!

For example, if the people of the Ming Dynasty want to go to sea, they can go directly to the Lingnan region in the south without going to Songjiang Mansion in the future, and go to sea in another port to reach the nearby colony.

And so it goes.

It not only avoids the problem of weak sea capacity and congestion in Songjiang Prefecture today.

It can also make Daming's road to the sea a big step forward!

Therefore, Zhai Shan absolutely does not advocate Zhu Yunxi to lay a railway in Mobei, because in his opinion, it is a complete waste of manpower and material resources!

500,000 laborers!

That's more than the construction of the Jinling Yangtze River Bridge!

So much manpower, material resources.

Just to build a railroad that doesn't have much use!

Isn't that just a waste?

It's a loser!

It's just that of course Zhai Shan didn't dare to talk to Zhu Yunxi like this, and even the reason why he said this was entirely because Zhu Yunxi said before that if he didn't succeed in going to sea, he would cut off his head!

Otherwise, even if he gave Zhai Shan a hundred guts, he wouldn't dare to object!

But......

Zhai Shan's opposition is more of an act of shirking responsibility, he has already expected it in his heart, and Zhu Yunxi's mind is firm.

It is impossible to change your mind.

So he had the previous suggestion, because only when he raised an opposing opinion today, and when the matter of Daming's going to sea in the coming day was hindered and fell into a bottleneck, he would have a suitable excuse.

There will be a suitable reason to shirk.

What's more, now Daming's overseas business has indeed encountered a lot of resistance!

It's almost close to saturation!

All the people who are willing to go to sea have already gone to sea, and those who have committed crimes and do not want to go to sea in Daming have also been sent overseas.

Even those beggars were caught by the people of the Sea Division.

Sent to the colony to let the other party start a new life.

The actions of the Sea Division cleared the entire Ming Dynasty almost immediately! Originally, due to the process of urbanization, there were many gangsters and beggars in the Ming Dynasty, but now they ...... But it was directly swept away by the sea division!

In the entire Ming Dynasty, no one dares to fight bravely, and no one dares to be a beggar.

Because as long as you hear a little wind and grass.

The people who went out to the sea came up! In the name of providing assistance, take it directly and send it to the colony!

Although in the colony, the Ming people had a high status and many benefits that were almost given away for free, and the imperial court would lend them money to develop their own industries in the local area.

But after all, he was sent overseas, and he wanted to return to his hometown in this life.

It's just a thousand difficulties!

So now in the Ming Dynasty, almost everyone is very afraid of going to the sea, which is almost the same as Jinyiwei!

And except for Zhai Shan.

Natsuharayoshi's opposition was also strong.

As the head of the household, the money bag of the Ming Dynasty, although Zhu Yunxi has the grace of knowing him, but when it is time to seek truth from facts, he has to seek truth from facts!

Lay a railway to Mobei.

Definitely a bad decision! There is no benefit!

The Tatars have now been divided.

A part of Mobei has also nominally belonged to the Ming Dynasty! For Daming, the current situation is satisfactory enough!

No more action at all!

But Zhu Yunxi's current behavior is like a big fight for a piece of chicken ribs!

Even the hole cards were used!

This is an unwise act!

That's all.

How did Zhu Yunxi not know? It's just that there are some things that have to be done!

Completely subduing Mobei is only a matter of time or time for Daming, and if you do it earlier, it will only be a loss for Daming, and Daming's national strength can afford it!

But if you do it later.

For Da Ming, it is good, but Lao Zhu can't afford to wait!

Half!

Zhu Yunxi has been determined to lay the railway to Mobei within half a year!

No one can stop this!

"Oh, you guys have an opinion?"

Zhu Yunxi said nonchalantly: "Lone is not discussing with you. ”

"It's an order!"

"You stand up against it one by two, are you going to oppose Pegasus?!"

"This is the lonely Daming!"

"It's also a lonely court!"

"It's not a place for you to be presumptuous!"

"Half a year!"

"I'll only give you half a year! It is necessary to lay a railway from the Gyeonggi area to Mobuk! ”

"And within Mobei, there must be at least three railways connected vertically and horizontally!"

"Every fifty miles along the way, a fortress for a garrison of five hundred men will be erected!"

"If you can't do it, you don't have to continue to do it!"

Zhu Yunxi was furious!

It's been two years.

Zhu Yunxi's prestige became stronger and stronger, and many ministers in the DPRK and China were so oppressed by Zhu Yunxi's momentum that they couldn't raise their heads.

And Xia Yuanji and Zhai Shan are already in a cold sweat!

They all knelt on the ground.

I didn't dare to say it.

At this scene, looking at the Chinese military officials, they couldn't help but leave a cold sweat.

Although His Royal Highness Taisun has not managed the government for two years, his authority has not been damaged in the slightest!

Even the head of the Department of Household Affairs and the Department of Going to Sea are such powerful people.

In the face of His Royal Highness Taisun, he didn't dare to make the slightest mistake!

"What Your Highness said is very true."

"Your Highness has already decided, and our courtiers only need to do it."

Yang Shiqi, the secretary of the ministry, stood up.

said: "What's more, His Highness's decision has never gone wrong. ”

"It's just that you haven't seen His Royal Highness Taisun's true intentions yet!"

"The vision and pattern are far less broad than His Highness!"

Zhai Shan and Xia Yuanji got off the donkey down the slope.

hurriedly said: "It is we who have failed to comprehend the deep meaning of His Royal Highness the Taisun. ”

"I hope His Royal Highness the Taisun will forgive his sins!"

Zhu Yunxi's face is much better.

He waved his hand.

"Go do what you have to do." ”

"In any case, within half a year, Lone must see such a railway open to traffic."

"If you can't do it."

"Narl is waiting!"

The railway to Mobei will be built sooner or later, and Lao Zhu's regret is just an introduction!

What really matters.

Or Zhu Yunxi's supreme authority above the court!

Absolute power!

No one will be allowed to object!
