I have Futian in my heart

Chapter 733
It took several months to lay the track all the way from Heishangou to the surrounding capital... If the experiment is really successful, even these dignitaries can find a way to lay the track directly to the gate of the city, or even to the city!

At this moment, with the arrival of a freight carriage, the second and third Huoyun carriages arrived...

In a short period of time, hundreds of thousands of catties of coal were actually transported in a small trial!

At this moment, everyone was moved by the sight in front of them, and the eyes of those who participated in this plan lit up, and they all saw countless business opportunities from it.

"Road? With the road, a carriage can transport more than [-] jin of coal? How is this possible!"

When the emperor heard the report, he had the expression of my lack of experience, don't lie to me.

"My lord, it's true!" Li Zhongxiao had a smile on his face: "The so-called road is made of hardwood and stones, and the track is paved on the ground. The carriage runs on the track all the way, and it is very stable. , and the resistance is small...there will be more goods to be pulled!
If the emperor doesn't believe it, just go and see it with your own eyes! "

"Oh, isn't this the so-called car track...it's just made of wood, can it be strong?" Emperor Da Chu was also curious.

Now Yanghou can always come up with some good things from time to time. Last time I went to see the four-wheeled carriage, it was really good.Unexpectedly, Zheng Xiaoming got the carriage out so soon.

"I remember that the wheels have been around for a long time, and even the stone slabs can leave deep ruts. How long can this wooden board last?"

"Your Majesty, the carriage does not run on wooden boards, but uses wooden boards to form ruts, allowing the carriage to drive through the ruts.

Under the ruts, there is actually a road made of cinder clay, which is soft and not afraid of being crushed, and it is easy to maintain.In short, the emperor will know at a glance...

I heard that Xiayang Gong's family is still planning to start a company, and they will unite with each other to build the road from Heishangou to the capital.

It is said that the original construction was only experimental, and the real construction will be done next!

It is said that the road from the border to the capital will be built in the future, and it will be much easier to transport food, grass and other materials in the future! "

The emperor was slightly taken aback when he heard the words, and by being solemn, at this moment, he suddenly thought of the great significance of building this kind of road...

Why did the dynasties and dynasties spend such a huge price on building official road stations?
If the freight between the capital and the border is smooth, how much value will it have...it's self-evident when you think about it.

There is still canal shipping between the capital and the wealthy places in the south, but if you continue to the north and go to the border, there will be no water transportation!
But this kind of thing, no one thought for thousands of years, can what Zheng Xiaoming is doing now really be possible?
At this moment, the emperor couldn't believe it again: "Show me, I want to go out of the city to have a look..."

The road is not like a car, it can be driven directly into the royal garden, it is very easy to see.

But it is not an easy task for the emperor to go out of the palace.

It took several days of tossing and arguing with the imperial court and the cabinet before he could leave the palace and saw the road with endless carriages...

Just as Li Zhongxiao said, the so-called roads are paved with cinders and gravel, with a thick layer so that it will not be muddy when it rains.And on this road, deep ruts are made of wood, and the wheels only run in the ruts.

Although it is not as exaggerated as Li Zhongxiao said, four horses can easily pull away tens of thousands of catties.

This made the emperor's eyes brighten: "Good stuff, good stuff!

If it is possible to build the road from the capital to Jiubian, maybe there will be no need for a commander in chief to sit in Jiubian in the future! "

Of course, it's not that there is no need for the Nine Frontier Commander, but the power of the Commander-in-Chief will inevitably be greatly reduced!
Now the reason why the nine sides of the Great Chu have a powerful military officer in charge is because it is too far away from the capital and it is inconvenient to contact.

That's why the imperial court gave the commander-in-chief great power and let him sit in charge.

But in this way, the commander-in-chief with heavy troops in his hand is also a potential threat to the safety of the court.

Although Da Chu uses various systems and civil servants to control logistics, he has guaranteed that the nine sides will not rebel.

But if the power and responsibility of the commander-in-chief can be weakened, it will be the last!

Of course, this kind of thing is just an idea now.I don't know how long it will take to achieve it!
But it was always a possibility, which naturally put the emperor in a great mood!

Daning Town is already in the extreme north, and the winter here is extremely long, almost half of the year is in winter.

So it started to snow in September, although it was a bit early, but it was not surprising for Daning Town.

Although the snow wasn't too heavy, a row of carriages soon turned white.

The soldiers sitting in the carriage were crowded into a group. Although it was uncomfortable, it was better than being frozen outside.Moreover, people are crowded together, which seems to warm the pot even more.

Of course, even if Zheng Xiaoming, the commander-in-chief, pretended to come and eat and live with the soldiers, he couldn't really squeeze into a car with a group of soldiers.

In fact, Zheng Xiaoming was sitting alone in a carriage.The carriage he was riding in seemed nothing special from the outside, but in fact it was specially processed, and the interior was much more comfortable. There was even a small charcoal stove in the carriage.

Of course, just outside these carriages, there are still cavalry walking beside them.But now there is no horse riding, leading the horse forward.

"Gongxian, the Huchushui tribe is ahead! The adults in the tribe have come to welcome them!"

Someone reported from outside the carriage.

Zheng Xiaoming showed a little smile and said, "Okay! I see!"

Since taking office, Zheng Xiaoming spent more than two months to initially rectify the internal affairs of Daning Town.Then it took more than two months of hard work, traveling back and forth for thousands of miles, and almost visited all the Mohe and Tatar tribes under the jurisdiction of Daning Town.

These tribes nominally belonged to the people of Ming Dynasty, and many tribal leaders accepted the official positions of the guards of Dachu, and nominally belonged to the military households of Dachu.

However, except for a small number, those that are close enough to Daning Town are still under the jurisdiction of the imperial court, in addition to attacking and paying taxes every year.For other submissions to Da Chu, there is only one name left.

This is the so-called Jiji tribe!

And this time, Zheng Xiaoming even went through almost all of these Jumi tribes. If it wasn't for the weather, Zheng Xiaoming would even go through those Shengfan tribes.

The so-called Shengfan tribe is a more barbaric and primitive tribe, and even had an era of drinking blood.
