Daming: Old Zhu, we agreed not to rush!

Chapter 234 Returning to Jiaxiang County, the evil of human nature!
The carriage walked leisurely, and Su Jing and his party had already walked for ten days.

According to the distance, it is roughly halfway gone.

"Master Su, we are in Jiaxiang County again."

Zhu Biao said to Su Jing.

When they came, they stayed here.

"Well, it looks like we're almost home too."

Su Jing nodded. He didn't have much impression of Jiaxiang County, but he knew that Pei County was not too far away from Jiaxiang County.

You can taste dog meat again!
Eating will always be one of Su Jing's biggest pursuits in this life, no, in the previous life, and in the two lives.

"Master Su, do you still remember that you asked me a question?"

Zhu Biao asked Su Jing.

Ok?
Su Jing was taken aback, recalled it carefully, and then said: "Yes, that's right, I asked you at that time, how to develop Jiaxiang County, you still remember."

Su Jing really just mentioned this matter casually, without thinking too much.

"What Master Su said, all the students will remember it, and dare not forget it in the slightest."

Zhu Biao replied seriously.

This is not nonsense, Su Jing has taught Zhu Biao all the content so far, and Zhu Biao has firmly remembered it all.

Not only that, but also detailed notes.

"Okay, since you remember it so clearly, you must have thought about it. If you have any thoughts, tell me."

Su Jing said with a smile.

Su Jing actually has a say in how this ancient city develops.

After all, Lishui County is a very good model example.

Zhu Biao nodded and said: "Students think that if a region wants to develop, the most important thing is transportation. Only with transportation can the circulation of people and things be accelerated."

"Master Su once said that only circulation can produce economic development. In a place with blocked traffic, the economy is doomed to be unable to develop. Without the economy, everything else is just empty talk."

At the beginning of the article, Zhu Biao directly pointed to the topic. As a prince, he knows how important the economy is.

As a huge country, Daming has a vast territory, and there are extremely many places where money is needed.

The reason why Zhu Yuanzhang puts so much emphasis on agriculture is because he deeply understands that farmers are the guarantee of taxation and the prerequisite for the normal operation of the state machinery.

Zhu Biao and Su Jing studied for a long time, knowing what role the economy plays in development.

To put it bluntly, money is not everything, but without money is absolutely impossible.

"That's right, if you want to get rich, build roads first, that's what I said."

Su Jing nodded and said: "However, how to develop transportation is also a subject of knowledge, do you have any ideas?"

Empty talk is harmful to the country, there are only general principles, but there are no specific policies and measures, it can only be talk on paper.

Zhu Biao immediately said: "Students have some immature ideas, please ask Master Su for guidance."

Su Jing smiled and said: "Don't care about maturity, it's not that you really want to develop Jiaxiang County, just say it, we master and apprentice, this is called Jianzheng, it's just nonsense."

Urban development is a big macro issue, and Su Jing didn't think he was much better than the ancients.

It's just that I have seen more in my previous life and learned some summative experiences of my predecessors.

In some professional knowledge, I may be able to crush the ancients.

But intellectually, it is definitely impossible.

"Yes, Master Su, the student understands."

Zhu Biao immediately began to say: "Jiaxiang County belongs to Jining Prefecture, and the terrain is open and flat, so the natural traffic conditions are good. The students thought that if they want to develop the traffic in Jiaxiang County, they only need to expand and strengthen the original basis. number of roads."

"In addition, Jiaxiang County is adjacent to the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal in the east, and has natural water transportation advantages, so a special road leading to the canal's mouth can be built."

"Because waterborne goods are generally huge in volume, attention needs to be paid to the width and strength of roads. In addition, traffic is inseparable from vehicles. The development of transportation also means the development of the transportation manufacturing industry."

……

Zhu Biao talked eloquently and talked a lot.

I have to say, some of what I said made sense.

However, limited by the scientific development level of the Ming Dynasty, there were only two main modes of freight transportation, shipping and land transportation.

Large-scale freight is basically by shipping, and the carrying capacity and speed of land transportation are much worse than it.

"Mr. Su, in terms of transportation, that's all the students can think of."

Zhu Biao let out a sigh of relief, and finally finished his thoughts.

Su Jing nodded: "Yes, it's good to have your own ideas, but I want to ask you as a teacher, do you think there are other ways to develop transportation, whether it is water or land, besides road construction?"

Su Jing has never studied urban planning, and Jiaxiang County is just a small county.

What Zhu Biao said is right or wrong, and Su Jing is not easy to judge.

But he can discuss with Zhu Biao from another direction.

Besides building roads, are there other ways of transportation?
When Zhu Biao was asked by Su Jing, he immediately froze.

"Mr. Su, the students don't understand very well, so please ask Mr. Su to speak frankly."

Zhu Biao asked Su Jing seriously.

Su Jing said lightly: "Have you ever thought about creating a new means of transportation?"

Roads are a big problem restricting traffic efficiency, and so are vehicles.

"Ok?"

Zhu Biao didn't respond for a moment.

Su Jing continued: "Since the invention of horse-drawn carriages and boats, there hasn't been a new means of transportation in this land for a long time."

"Niu Yi, you have studied physics with me for a long time, have you never thought about creating a new means of transportation?"

In the field of transportation, the historical development of the feudal dynasty for thousands of years has almost stagnated.

There are some improvements and improvements, but that's it, no breakthrough developments.

Zhu Biao was stunned immediately, and thought carefully.

Completely forgot what the topic was at the beginning.

This is a common occurrence when chatting with Su Jing.

Obviously, one second was talking about a bull's head, and the next second it became a horse's mouth.

Su Jing took out a pack of homemade beef jerky from the package and began to chew.

Mu Ying carried the carriage and said: "Mr. Su, there are so many means of transportation, and the vehicles and boats take up all of them."

Cars and boats were the main means of transportation in ancient feudal dynasties.

Mu Ying really couldn't imagine that there would be any new means of transportation.

"Could it be that Mr. Su is referring to flying into the sky?"

Mu Ying looked puzzled.

Water and land are all there, and the rest will become the sky.

Su Jing smiled and said: "Brother Wenying, your idea is very good. Flying into the sky is indeed a good choice."

"Mr. Su, are you kidding me? Humans can't grow wings, so how can they fly into the sky like a bird?"

Mu Ying only thought that Su Jing was joking and didn't take it seriously.

Su Jing said: "Brother Wenying, do you know what is an important factor restricting human development?"

restrict human development?

Listening to Su Jing's words, Mu Ying only felt that the jump was too strong, and she didn't know how to answer.

"Also ask Mr. Su for advice."

Mu Ying could only ask.

Su Jing smiled and pointed to her head, "Imagination!"

"No matter what, at least you have to dare to think about it first. Flying into the sky is a dream that countless people have been pursuing for a long time. Our ancestors also tried it, making giant kites, building large Kongming lanterns, and even rockets. They are all very brave people!"

The dream of flying has always existed in this land of China.

"Really!"

Mu Ying was shocked: "Mr. Su, have these people succeeded?"

Su Jing shook her head and said, "No, they are basically all dead."

This……

Mu Ying's face froze, Su Jing's words really caught him off guard.

They are all dead. Doesn't this mean that the way of heaven is impossible.

However, Mu Ying still respected Su Jing very much, and didn't say such a thing.

"Mr. Su, the students couldn't think of it, and they have no idea at all."

After careful thinking, Zhu Biao did not get the answer.

New modes of transportation, or new means of transportation, have significantly exceeded Zhu Biao's current level of knowledge.

"Then take this as one of your goals, maybe one day, a new means of transportation will be born from your hands."

Su Jing said with a smile.

It must be too early to talk about steam engines and internal combustion engines with Zhu Biao.

But the goal must always be set higher, Su Jing has only two precious students.

One is Zhu Huan, whose goal is Daming Mendel, and Zhu Biao's words, not to mention Daming Newton, must at least be Daming Galileo.

"Yes, Master Su."

Zhu Biao nodded, his eyes firm.

The three of them stopped in Jiaxiang County immediately, and necessary repairs were still needed.

It was still the inn before, the place where a small episode happened.

However, when they first came here, the three of Su Jing realized that something was wrong.

The previous shopkeeper has changed.

Mu Ying and Zhu Wei looked at each other and immediately realized that something was wrong.

"Shopkeeper, I stayed here for one night a year ago, why did I change people after a year?"

Mu Ying asked the shopkeeper.

Hearing Mu Ying's words, the shopkeeper's face changed slightly, and he said: "Be objective, you can be a top player, or stay in the store. If nothing happens, we have a small business in the store. I'm really sorry that I can't chat with you more."

The shopkeeper had already shown his attitude with a few words, and Mu Ying understood that the other party didn't want to say it.

"Stay in a hotel, three rooms."

He asked the shopkeeper for three rooms directly.

When the three came to the guest room, Mu Ying said, "After we left, something must have happened here."

Zhu Biao looked solemn, and said: "That Zhang Yongxian promised very well at the time, and punished his subordinates, so it's possible that he came back for revenge afterwards?"

Mu Ying and Zhu Biao have good intentions to fight against injustices, but don't do bad things with good intentions.

"Don't worry, the matter is not clear now, when we have dinner later, we can ask about it before we talk about it."

Su Jing said to the two of them.

For this kind of thing, Su Jing was not too surprised.

This is not the past life, no, even in the past life, this kind of thing happens from time to time.

Not to mention that it is an ancient feudal dynasty now, the shopkeeper of an inn, in front of soldiers, is a properly vulnerable group.

"Yes, Master Su."

Zhu Biao nodded.

Not long after, they arrived at the place to eat, and the three of them went downstairs to eat, and after deliberately inquiring, they finally understood roughly what happened.

Not long after Zhang Yongxian punished his subordinates at the door of the store, he was promoted and transferred away.

Then, those soldiers who were punished by Zhang Yongxian came out to trouble the original shopkeeper.

This time, Mu Ying and Zhu Biao didn't come forward, and there was no general who cared for the people like Zhang Yongxian, so the one who suffered was naturally the shopkeeper.

A group of soldiers directly smashed the inn to sevens and eights, and the shopkeeper was beaten to death.

After that, the shopkeeper and his family disappeared from Jiaxiang County.

It is impossible to know whether he died or went away.

The current shopkeeper is just a new boss.

"Damn! There is such a thing!"

Mu Ying's face was full of anger, she just felt angry rising.

Zhu Biao also said with a serious face: "Su Jing, the students may have to stay here for two days."

He couldn't bear it, this kind of thing happened under his nose in Daming territory.

Su Jing said as usual: "It doesn't matter, as many days as you want, you can deal with it as you want."

Compared to Zhu Biao and Mu Ying's anger and solemnity, Su Jing listened to the shopkeeper's story without any reaction at all, and should eat and drink.

After a simple meal, Zhu Biao and Mu Ying left the inn.

Su Jing was resting well in the guest room. The young man has a sense of justice, and he fully understands it.

Zhu Biao and Mu Ying didn't come back until the sky was completely dark.

"Well, how are things going?"

Su Jing asked.

Zhu Biao replied: "Those soldiers have been found. According to them, the shopkeeper's family left Jiaxiang County."

"The newly appointed chief general has no regrets at all. If I hadn't suppressed him with my identity, I wouldn't have handed him over at all!"

Mu Ying said angrily.

Compared with Zhang Yongxian's voluntary admission of mistakes, the new chief general is simply protecting those soldiers.

It wasn't until Mu Ying revealed his identity that he punished his subordinates.

"So, how did those soldiers deal with it?"

Su Jing asked.

"Each person is charged with thirty army sticks. I came back after watching the beating."

Mu Ying replied.

Su Jing frowned and said, "Then what about the general? Did he say anything?"

"No, I revealed my identity, and he cooperated very well."

Mu Ying shook her head and said.

Su Jing closed her eyes, as if she was thinking about something.

Zhu Biao and Mu Ying looked at Su Jing, wondering what Su Jing meant?
"Niu Yi, brother Wenying, I think you need to go look for it again tomorrow."

Su Jing opened her eyes and said to the two of them.

"Why? Master Su, did you think of something?"

Zhu Biao asked curiously.

Isn't this matter already resolved, why do we have to go again.

Su Jing looked at Zhu Biao and said, "Niu Yi, you still underestimate the evil of human nature. If you are one of those soldiers who were punished and chose to take revenge on the shopkeeper after being punished for the first time, after knowing that the shopkeeper was there because someone helped you Under such circumstances, I was found. What will you do?"

Su Jing's rhetorical question made Zhu Biao hesitate, he just thought for a while, and immediately understood what Su Jing meant.

"Master Su, are you saying that the shopkeeper's family has actually been silenced?"

Zhu Biao asked Su Jing with a shocked face.

Su Jing replied: "I don't know, but the possibility of those soldiers lying is very high."

"The evil of human nature is much greater than you imagine."
