Back to Ming Dynasty with Industrial Revolution System

Chapter 265 Grassland Railway?
"Liaodong to Guihua City is a full [-] li, which is twice the distance of the Liaodong Railway that is currently planned to be built!" Zhan Tianyou was shocked.

"How about it, do you have confidence? The construction of this section of the railway can be said to be very difficult. It is not just a matter of permafrost, grasslands, swamps and other topography, but also some humanistic considerations. For example, the railway needs to pass through the pastures of different tribes. Send people to negotiate with them, and also consider the interference of natural animals such as horses and sheep on the railway. All these make the construction of the grassland railway very difficult."

"However, on the contrary, it will also bring us many benefits. Our goods can be continuously poured into the grassland by train, and then bring back the cattle, sheep and by-products we need. Our army can also quickly reach various places on the grassland. The order of the prairie is maintained in the corner. In the future, the Grassland Railway will also extend to Mobei and western regions."

Chu Yun told Zhan Tianyou what he thought in his heart.

"However, grasslands also have the advantages of grasslands, that is, the terrain is relatively flat, and it is easier to build than crossing mountains and rivers." Zhan Tianyou said, "I, Zhan Tianyou, accept this job very much to be able to connect Liaodong and the prairie."

"Okay, okay, you don't have to worry, prepare the manpower first and then report to the Ministry of the Interior to see how the budget is."

Chu Yun could already imagine the frantic expressions of Chen Ting and other officials in charge of finance when they heard about the [-]-mile railway project.

After Gaizhou Wei witnessed the first telegram, Chu Yunan went back to Jinzhou.The headquarters of the Academy of Sciences under the jurisdiction of the Liao Army is located in Jinzhou, the place where the army started.Jinzhou is next to Dalian Port, not only did not decline due to the competition from Liaodong City, but instead became a regional technological and cultural center, where the scientific atmosphere is the strongest.

This time Chu Yun returned to Jinzhou City for another purpose, which was to go to the Academy of Sciences to discuss an important matter with some scientists there.

On the street where the Academy of Sciences in Jinzhou City is located, there are students from the Academy of Sciences coming and going, and occasionally there are lecturers from Western and southern Liaoning.

Chu Yun took a few guards dressed up as students, not wanting to make a big fuss here and cause big chaos.

"After we gave Mongolian tribes, Jurchen tribes, Jianzhou Han people some places, and expanded the number of students in the Department of Physics, the number of people in the Academy of Sciences is almost 1000. However, the headquarters of the Academy of Sciences is still in the center of Jinzhou City, where every inch of land is expensive. There are always only [-] to [-] people. The people here are the elite of the elite, and we will restore the hope of the future of the Liao Army." The administrative officer of the Academy of Sciences introduced to Chu Yun.

"1 people, the cost of training is not small." Chu Yun said.

"We charge tuition fees here, which can basically cover the teaching expenses of the Academy of Sciences. Of course, for students whose family income is less than two taels of silver, we will give them financial subsidies." The administrative officer of the Academy of Sciences said, "As for special research, such as The research and development of a new generation of steam engines, generators, steam locomotives, textile machines, etc. cost a lot of money, so we must get financial support from the Ministry of the Interior."

"It is appropriate for major research projects to be funded by the Ministry of the Interior. These research results will benefit the society and generate more economic benefits to repay our investment." Chu Yun said as he walked.

"Da Yuer, don't go!"

Suddenly, a figure appeared obliquely, bumping into Chu Yun hastily.

"Be careful." Chu Yun steadied the person, and found that it was Bumbutai, the little princess of the Horqin tribe whom he hadn't seen for a long time.

After she was captured by Chu Yun from Houjin, she has been studying in the Economics Department of the Academy of Sciences, under the tutelage of the great British economist Adam Smith.Although Chu Yun has exempted Bumbutai from personal restrictions after the Horqin tribe joined the Liao army, and she can return to the Horqin tribe at any time, but Mubumbutai insists on staying in the Academy of Sciences to continue her studies.

Da Yuer was surprised to find that when she turned her head and stuck out her tongue, her center of gravity was unstable and she fell into the arms of a strange man.And this person turned out to be Chu Yun, the leader of the Liao Army.

"See... I've met Lord Commander." Her pretty face couldn't help but flush.

"Okay Da Yuer, we finally caught you." Several male students in their teens surrounded Chu Yun and the others.

Chu Yun was confused: "This...what's going on here?"

"Da Yuer, give us some guidance on the thesis." A male student said, "If we fail to meet the professor's requirements this time, we will be dismissed by the professor."

"Please my little aunt, as long as you guide our economics paper, I am willing to pay ten taels of silver, no, even 20 taels of silver is easy to talk about." Another male student said.

"You guys are annoying, I still have my own thesis to write, you can talk to the professor yourself." Mubu Mutai said with a flustered mouth.

I'm going, it's just such a small thing.Chu Yun thought that something serious had happened.It turned out that it was just a dispute over schoolwork.

"Since this little girl has no time to guide you, you should leave quickly." Several plainclothes guards around Chu Yun hurriedly drove away several male students, for fear of any accidents.

Several male students looked at each other regretfully, then left disappointed.

"It seems that you have a good life in the Academy of Sciences." Chu Yun teased Da Yuer, "I heard from Adam Smith that you are the best student in his class, and you are either the first or the second in the assessment every time."

At this time, when she was in the process of growing her body, her year-long situation had improved a lot, and her appearance was more delicate and refined.Coupled with her detached status like a little princess in the Horqin tribe, so that she shines in the Academy of Sciences, the group of male students just now wanted to ask Bumbutai for guidance, and they probably had no intention of pursuing it.

"Mr. Jun is overrated. I'm just very interested in knowledge in this field. In addition, the Academy of Sciences encourages women to study. Of course, we should cherish such a rare opportunity." Da Yuer said embarrassingly.

"By the way, your grandfather Manggus is sick and recuperating in Jinzhou, right? I'm going to discuss something with the professor of the physics department later, and I'll visit old man Manggus after a while." Chu Yun thought The spiritual pillar of the older generation of the Horqin tribe recuperated in the Horqin tribe, so they wanted to promote their relationship with the Horqin tribe.

After all, the Horqin tribe has been merged into the Liao Army, guarding a large grassland to the west for the Liao Army, and the two sides are in the honeymoon period.

"Well, I'll go back and tell Grandpa, he will be very happy." Da Yuer blinked, then bid farewell to Chu Yun and left.

"This girl is not simple. It is a blessing for the Horqin Department to have her here." Chu Yun looked at Da Yuer who left and sighed.
