Daming: Lend the system to Emperor Hongwu at the beginning

Chapter 114 Historical Celebrities: Fang Xiaoru
"Biaoer, this small world is very important. If we fail to grasp it, it may cause our Ming Dynasty to fall into chaos!" Zhu Yuanzhang said solemnly on the way back to Nanjing.

A Zhang Tianzhen who has obtained a part of the inheritance of immortality here can cause such a big disturbance. If the things here are spread to the rivers and lakes and obtained by those wild immortal cultivators, the consequences will be unimaginable.

"This minister knows, so I have already put away some of the powerful spells before those researchers moved in."

After all, these spells are all attack types, and they are of little use to researchers.

Zhu Yuanzhang was stunned for a moment when he heard the words, and then he couldn't help grinning.

"Good!" he commented.

"Cultivators have a long lifespan and many means, and the more advanced their cultivation, the more they will have no desires. From the people in this small world, they can see that even the seven emotions and six desires are decreasing when their cultivation reaches a high level. There is only one longevity, if a country allows such a group of people to be in power, it is not a blessing for the country."

Zhu Yuanzhang glanced at Zhu Biao when he said this: "Biaoer, we also need to be vigilant about this. Our identity is first the ruler of a country, and then the superhuman. Don't put the cart before the horse."

"I understand!" Zhu Biao hurriedly said.

"In the future, the national army will still be dominated by warriors. Immortal cultivators should let them stay in the Academy of Sciences and do some research work!"

"That's the best place for them to go."

Hearing this, Zhu Biao nodded approvingly.

It can be seen from this battle that Wufu is indeed the most suitable extraordinary person on the battlefield, no matter what type of enemy he faces, he can quickly adapt
If the firearms are further developed in the future, and the warriors are equipped with powerful firearms to increase the attack distance, and even wear iron armor that can fly into the sky and escape from the ground, Zhu Biao will feel exciting just thinking about that scene.

Soon, three months passed quietly.

All kinds of spells and formations in this small world named by Zhu Biao as the No. [-] base have all been transferred to the Sumeru Illusionary Realm.

As for the small world itself, it can be used as a training ground in the future.

It is isolated from the outside world, and there is a large array of gathering spirits set up by ancient spirit practitioners to increase the concentration of spiritual energy. It is perfect as a training ground for special forces to conduct closed training.

And the Academy of Sciences, which has received the inheritance of various formations and talismans in the small world, also began to glow with new vitality.

At this moment, an extremely important scientific experiment is going on in the Academy of Sciences.

A strange car with four wheels appeared on the square of the Academy of Sciences, and Zhang normal of Tianshi Mansion sat on it quite nervously.

"Your Highness, I'm starting!" He rubbed his hands together.

"Yes!" Zhu Biao also nodded expectantly.

Zhang Normal reached out and tapped a button, and suddenly the strange car trembled slightly, and then began to move forward slowly.

Without too much noise and exhaust, this is a purely natural and pollution-free psionic drive car.

To be precise, this should be regarded as a magic weapon. The materials used are all spiritual materials, and there are magic circles engraved on it. Its core is a gathering spirit formation, which provides spiritual power, and then drives a series of mechanisms to rotate , ultimately driving the four wheels.

The biggest difference between this driving car and the traditional magic circle is that this is a magic weapon that ordinary people can also drive.

Although it is driven by spiritual power, the whole process is fully automated. If the spiritual energy in the gathering array is insufficient, you only need to replace a gathering array, or stop and wait for a while.

To be honest, it is not easy to make such a magic weapon. The most troublesome thing for the Academy of Sciences before is the material.

They could not find suitable materials to depict the spiritual formation.

This problem has been solved in the inheritance of various materials sorted out in Base No. [-].

The spiritual formations were engraved on the spiritual materials for refining armor in the Great Zhou Dynasty.

And this also applies to the manufacture of this magic vehicle.

"How much can this car run?" Zhu Biao asked.

"It can run almost three hundred miles per hour."

"This car can run at full speed for six hours without stopping when the Spirit Gathering Array is full of spiritual energy." Zhang normal said with a smile.

"Can this car be used if it is driven into a different world without aura?" Zhu Biao asked again.

"OK!"

"Just bring a few more spirit-gathering array disks. Although in an environment without spirits, the aura will continue to overflow, but the spirit-gathering arrays studied by those Qi practitioners are very powerful. If you want to let the aura in a spirit-gathering array It will take almost a month for all the spills to escape."

"This thing is good!"

A flash of admiration flashed in Zhu Biao's eyes. If this kind of magic weapon car could be produced on a large scale, then Daming would jump directly from the age of steam engines to the age of electricity.

No, it should be said that this is a brand new era.

"What is the problem that plagues the mass production of this kind of ritual vehicle now?" Zhu Biao asked again.

"The manpower and material resources required to build such a car are too expensive."

Zhang normal said with a bitter face: "Everything on this car is spiritual material, and he can't use molds to produce it. It needs a blacksmith to forge each part."

"Purely handmade!" Zhu Biao couldn't help complaining in his heart.

"Then continue to recruit refiners. This kind of car can be produced by manpower first. If the cost is high, the price will be higher. Anyway, there are many rich people in Daming now!"

"I think those honorable and gentry children should be very interested in this thing." Zhu Biao said with a smile.

This thing is much more practical than those luxuries, and Zhu Biao believes that those wealthy families who have received dividends from the continuous reform of Ming Dynasty are not short of the money.

It's better to let them buy a car and drive it back than to get some offensive magic weapons.

"Also, don't stare at the spiritual material all the time!"

"Iron can be made into steel, so can other ordinary materials be changed under special circumstances?"

"Your task is to find this special mortal material to replace the spiritual material, reduce the cost of this car, and then let some parts be produced by industrial assembly lines as much as possible."

"Industrialization is our direction!"

"And the core of industrialization is efficiency, you need to understand this."

"Also, the research direction of spiritual power must be combined with technology to promote each other."

"Yes!" Everyone behind nodded quickly.

After returning from the Academy of Sciences, Zhu Biao returned to his palace to continue handling government affairs.

It has been 12 years since Hongwu.

And what officials from all over the country are now reporting most is to ask the imperial court to build roads.

Guangdong, Shanxi, Sichuan, Henan, all the provinces hope that the planning of the imperial court's second railway can pass through their provinces.

The reason for such a change is because of the demonstration effect of the first railway.

Daming's first railway was officially completed three months ago.

In order to catch up with the construction period, the railway was divided into sections and started construction at the same time.

In the past four years, Zhu Biao has spent a lot of money. If it weren't for the continuous silver imports from Japan and the blood transfusions from the plane in the late Qing Dynasty, this road would really not be able to be repaired.

Even so, it took four years to complete the cultivation. Even if it weren't for the weight-reducing talisman of the immortal cultivator, and the help of a large number of warriors in the army, it might not be possible to complete it in four years.

Not to mention anything else, just crossing the two natural moats of the Yangtze River and the Yellow River is an impossible task.

But the changes brought about by the recovery of spiritual energy made this impossible possible. The application of the weight-reducing talisman allowed an ordinary person to hold ten thousand catties of steel.

The widespread use of steam engines has greatly improved the efficiency of ironworks.

Now the railway has been in operation for three months, and every day steam engines with black smoke go north and south along the railway line. All areas along the way can feel the profound impact of such a railway running through the local area.

Local officials are not blind. Seeing the various benefits of the railway, they naturally want to take a share so that the railway can be opened to their jurisdiction.

After all, the promotion of officials in the Ming Dynasty now has strict performance requirements, similar to Zhang Juzheng's examination method. If you are a local official without political performance, it is very difficult to get promoted.

And if there is a railway in the jurisdiction, the local economy can be revitalized, and the political achievements are simply given away for nothing.

"The planning of the railway is a matter of the Railway Bureau, and it has its own regulations from the imperial court. In the future, such memorials should not be sent to me!"

"However, the local yamen can also set up their own railway management bureau. At that time, the imperial court's railway bureau will be upgraded to the general bureau to lead the local area."

"Whether government offices in various places are building roads or railways, they can be planned by the Railway Bureau, and then sent to the General Administration for approval. In principle, the imperial court encourages this kind of behavior."

"As for the funds for road construction, local governments can borrow from the Royal Central Bank, or issue stocks to rich households in various places to raise funds, and the imperial court doesn't care."

"But one thing to note is that local roads can be built, but if you want to build a bank on the road, you need the approval of the Ministry of Household Affairs!"

"This is not allowed to build privately, understand?"

"Yes!" After hearing Zhu Biao's words, the young Hanlins of the Hanlin Academy immediately began to write down his will one by one, and then went to contact the officials of the six ministries of the Outer Court.

Zhu Biao glanced at one of the young men.

The era entered the middle period of the Hongwu Dynasty. Although it was completely different from the original ones, those who shined brilliantly in the original history still began to step onto the big stage of history.

Fang Xiaoru.

His name is absolutely recognizable in Ming history.

Because he is the only scholar in history who was punished by the ten clans.

If he is a traitorous minister, he is unyielding until death, facing Zhu Di's butcher's knife without the slightest weakness. If he is a loyal minister, Jianwen Emperor Zhu Yunqi lost his throne because of his series of policies.

It can only be said that this is a person who has read and read.

For this person, Zhu Biao didn't have any special feelings, and he wouldn't deliberately make things difficult, because history had completely changed, and he probably wouldn't have a son like Zhu Yunwen, and Ming wouldn't have an emperor like Emperor Jianwen.

Naturally, it is impossible for Fang Xiaoru to be a minister of life.

Where he can go in the end depends only on his luck.

"Go!" Zhu Biao glanced at Fang Xiaoru again, and waved him away.
