1825 My New Daming

Chapter 68 The railway is not a road, the most poisonous girl (seeking collection, monthly ticket, recommendation, follow-up reading)

Xianmen Pass, the residence of the Daming Mission.

"Brother and brother, times have changed. Our airship can fly three to four hundred miles in an hour, and three to four thousand miles in a day. The speed is much faster than that of the railway. Although the transport capacity is not large, the army of tens of thousands can still travel at any time. It was transported to Wuji Valley! So if you don’t build railways and build official roads, you won’t be able to stop foreign enemies, but you will only trap yourself. If you allow me, Daming, to build a railway that passes through Dajin and leads to Luocha Kingdom, Da Gold’s special products and resources can be sold for money. With money, Daikin can also run industries well and stand tall in the forest of world powers.”

The one who is fooling Heshen is of course Zhuge Weidao, the [-]th alternate military advisor of the Zhuge family.When this airship came into his mouth, it almost turned into a large transport plane!
Although the transportation capacity of this thing is not enough, the latest and largest model can also lift several tons of goods, but with a large army of [-] people, equipment and supplies, it takes thousands of airships to move it?This is a hydrogen boat!The requirements for maintenance are extremely high. If the quantity is small, the maintenance can be done regardless of the cost. If there are thousands of vehicles, how many ground crews are needed?If they blow up the boat every day, the loss will be huge.

Although He Shen also knows the flammability of hydrogen gas (this is He Shen who knows chemistry), but ten such large airships are now parked on the grass outside Xianmen Pass!The facts are there, he can't help but not believe it.

But "no roads outside the Wuji Valley" is the ancestral family law handed down by Lord Kangxi!Where can it be changed?So He Zhongtang is also in a difficult situation now!
"Junior Brother Zhuge, you also know that 'no roads outside the Wuji Valley' is an ancestral family law handed down by Lord Kangxi!" He Shen said, "Our Dajin has kept it for more than 100 years, how can we change it?"

Is this still ancestral family law?

Zhuge Weidao frowned, but it's not easy to criticize the ancestor's family law!This ancestral family law is owned by the Dajin State, and the Zhuge family also has it!For more than 100 years, the Zhuge family has guarded the four red lines of "restraining mergers", "doing a good job in compulsory education", "paying taxes together with the monarch and ministers", and "co-governing the government". Isn't it because of the ancestral family law passed down by King Zhuge Wuzhong?The old man's ancestral family law is stronger than Emperor Kangxi's ancestral family law - he is written in every "Book of Heaven"!

The military advisers of the Zhuge family relied on the knowledge and information in the heavenly book to become half-immortals and high officials. The heavenly book is so effective, how could the military advisers of the Zhuge family dare to break the red line drawn in the heavenly book?

And if they want to stick to the bottom line, other aristocratic families and nobles can only stick to it!

After all, no one wants to be an enemy of a group of half-immortals!

Moreover, King Zhuge Wuzhong also opened up an annexation for them back then—they could carry out mergers in the vassal states of Ming Dynasty such as Siam, Burma, Annan, Chenla, and Nanzhang, as well as in Java, Mergers in Malacca.

But the red line of the Ming Dynasty cannot be touched, otherwise it will be the enemy of the Zhuge family!
As for the red line of paying taxes, it is even tighter. Tax havens do not exist in the world.Although Daming did not implement a tax law that pays more taxes for high incomes, but pays taxes across the board, no one can escape.

Even Zhuge Weidao, a son of the rich and powerful, has to pay taxes like ordinary people!
Even when he inherited the legacy of the old man, he paid half of the inheritance tax—the tax amount is not high, but no one can escape, unless he lives forever.Otherwise, even if you give up your Ming nationality, you won't be able to get away with the abandonment tax, and you will have to pay even more!

That's why Daming, an empire controlled by noble families, was able to maintain stability after more than 100 years of founding, without losing the most basic social justice.I have to say that this "ancestral family law" is really good if it is used in the right place.

The ancestral family law left by Kangxi to the descendants of Dajin actually ensured that Dajin and Taoism from China could gain a firm foothold in the Wuji Valley (Fergana Basin) and develop in Central Asia centered on it. grow.

After all, when Dajin does not build roads and only maintains limited contact with the outside world, the local forces in Central Asia cannot fight against the disciples of Dajin Eight Banners who "cultivate immortals through mathematics, physics and chemistry".

Moreover, having the "half-immortal" of the Zhuge family is enough to prove the correctness of the "route of cultivating immortals".The weakness of Taoism that needs evidence (most religions take the route of being unfalsifiable) has been made up for.

Therefore, Lin Zexu and Zhuge Weidao cannot force the Dajin Kingdom to give up their ancestral family law, but they can re-interpret what is "road".

"Brother and brother, we don't want to build roads, but railways." Zhuge Weidao said seriously, "Railways are not roads, but two rails laid on sleepers."

"This..." He Shen was also stunned. There was no railway when Emperor Kangxi died, so the "road" he said by the old man should not include the kind of thing that puts two iron bars on a row of sleepers of.

Seeing that He Shen was silent, Zhuge Weidao smiled and said: "If foreign enemies invade, you only need to send people to dismantle the rails, and then set them on fire with sleepers, and the rails will be burned and deformed, which is useless." gone."

He Shen also understands this truth, but he still has to guard against Daming and Luo Sha.So he thought about it and said: "Junior Brother Zhuge, if you want to build a railway to connect with Raksha...it is not impossible to discuss, but this railway cannot be within a thousand miles of Wuji Valley.

And when the railway is built, we need to use our craftsmen, you just need some engineers.After it is repaired, it cannot be managed by you Ming Dynasty or the Raksha Kingdom, but by our people.You Daming just wait for the dividends. "

This He Shen is quite smart!

"Can your people manage the railway?" Zhuge Weidao asked.

"Why not?" He Shen glared, "Brother Zhuge won't think that the people in Wuji Valley are uncivilized savages, right? Don't forget, our Dajin also has a university hall, and our country's Immortal Dao University hall It also has a world-class mathematics department! Even if our people have never been in charge of railways, just send people to Daming to learn!"

Fortune-telling... This is also an "algorithm". The "fortune tellers" in the Dajin Kingdom have studied the mathematics books handed down by King Zhuge Wuzhong for more than 100 years, and their level is certainly not low.

In addition, King Zhuge Wuzhong used physical chemistry to interpret all the methods of cultivating immortals, such as yin and yang and five elements, alchemy and gold, and contemplation of the sky (he can't do serious cultivation of immortals!), so the Dajin Kingdom's Xiandao University is actually " Xiuxian University of Science and Technology, the students who come out of this place are going to study railways and engineering, it doesn’t take too much effort.

As far as Daming is concerned, it would be nice to have a railway connecting Rakshasa through the Kingdom of Jin. Thinking of this, Zhuge Weidao turned to look at Lin Zexu. Track rights, as for the amount of leased materials and the valuation of road construction rights, I will leave it to professional military officers like Zhuge Daozi and your commander of the Eight Banners to discuss.

Next, let's discuss what name the Dajin Kingdom used to send troops to India, shall we? "

"In name?" He Shen thought for a while, "How about helping the Mughal Dynasty?"

"Is this... too big a goal?" Lin Zexu said, twitching his beard. "Is this trying to drive the British out of India?"

He Shen nodded, and asked after thinking: "Then what excuse should I find?"

"Crap!" Zhuge Weidao suddenly interjected at this time, "You can claim compensation from the British and Indian authorities in the name of illegally smuggling and selling porn by the British East India Company and poisoning the people of Dajin!"

"Okay! That's a good excuse!" Lin Zexu's heart was filled with unknown fire when he heard the word "female film", "The East India Company's sale of prostitute film in India and Southeast Asia has harmed countless people, it is really hateful!"

Zhuge Youdao used to call Yapian "Da Yan", but Lin Zexu didn't understand what it was?Because few people smoke opium now, and in Daming, opium only exists as a raw material for controlled drugs and has not been abused.However, in India, Southeast Asia, the Middle East, Western Europe, and some Central Asian regions, the abuse of opioids is still very common, and various opioid products (including non-smoking opioid cigarettes) are almost sold as necessities of life!
　Forcibly recommending a new book for newcomers——I am really not King Jing of Zhongshan!

　　The governance of Wenjing is so fascinating and intoxicating;
　　Emperor Wu's Northern Expedition to the Xiongnu was so magnificent and so exciting.

　　However, after Liu Sheng came to this world, everything has undergone some wonderful changes...
　　Empress Dou, who is occasionally confused, but always goes astray;
　　Ruthless, not loving anyone to thank the emperor of the world;
　　A loving mother, Mrs. Jia, and an eccentric elder brother, Liu Pengzu;
　　There are also the poor prince Liu Rong, the savage Su Ji, the young genius Liu Zhi, and the scheming Wang Meiren...

　　Liu Sheng has learned a lot and lost a lot around these famous figures.

　　But Liu Sheng always couldn't figure it out: How could he finally get rid of the fate of "King Jing of Zhongshan" and replace the historical Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty and become the god of the Han family...
