I'm only seven years old, Lao Zhu, you let me supervise the country?

Chapter 368 The next step in conquering Beiyuan is to lay the railway!

After dealing with the affairs of many small countries, Zhu Yunxian had time to prepare to deal with the Tatar affairs.

Beiyuan's defeat is certain this time.

But the land of Mobei is too vast. No matter how brave the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty are, they cannot wipe out all the Beiyuan.

After all, even if there are hundreds of thousands of pigs placed in such a vast area.

It’s not easy to catch either!
Therefore, if you really want to solve the problem of Beiyuan once and for all, you still have to put the root of the problem on Ming Dynasty itself.

First of all, it is simply impossible to build a road similar to a national highway in Beiyuan, not to mention that the cost of construction is at least ten times higher than that in Daming.

The maintenance and maintenance of roads alone is a big problem that cannot be solved.

Moreover, roads such as national highways are sufficient for the territory of the Ming Dynasty, but the land of Mobei is unimaginably wide, so they hope to use national highways to consolidate their rule.

It's tantamount to a fool's dream!
Therefore, if he wanted to completely conquer Beiyuan, Zhu Yunzhen could think of only one way.

That is to build a railway!
Although Zhu Yunxuan, a steam engine capable of pulling [-]-ton trains, could not solve the problem, the railways towed by horse-drawn carriages were not a problem for the Ming Dynasty.

The Ming Dynasty cannot do anything refined now.

But some simple things, for Daming, are just things that he doesn't want to do.

As long as a series of railways that can pass trains are set up in Beiyuan, and a city is built at regular intervals, Beiyuan can be said to be impregnable.

There is no fear that Bei Yuan will escape Daming's control.

But Zhu Yunxuan did not intend to include the entire Northern Yuan Dynasty in the Ming Dynasty, but only planned to collect the most fertile grassland.

And used this grassland to win over some Northern Yuan Tatar groups.

So that they can work for the Ming Dynasty. After all, animal husbandry is also extremely important to the Ming Dynasty.

In the Ming Dynasty, most of the cattle were farmed. Only in the desert, there was a lot of beef and mutton, which were rich food resources!

If only the people in Ming Dynasty could eat meat every day and even drink a glass of fresh milk.

It can definitely greatly improve the overall physical quality of the people of Ming Dynasty.

It can be seen from the trajectory of later generations that after rich nutrition, both height and weight will increase significantly.

Although Westerners are all born tall and tall, in fact, in this era, there are also many dwarfs.

Why do future generations look so tall?
It's all because Westerners plundered too many resources from various countries during the Age of Discovery.

It took hundreds of years to develop a physique step by step.

Therefore, Zhu Yunxu never forgot about opening up his own pasture for the Ming Dynasty, and brought part of the pastures of Beiyuan into the territory of the Ming Dynasty. Overseas, Zhu Yunxu focused on the land closest to the Ming Dynasty with many kangaroos.

That’s where the truly great ranch is!
With an idea in mind, Zhu Yunxian quickly recruited Xu Miaojin. It was time to let the Technology Research and Manufacturing Bureau, which had made outstanding achievements many times, come into play.

After all, Zhu Yunzhen spends a lot of money every year to support Jinling Shibafang.

At the critical moment, it must play a role!
Soon, a beautiful figure rushed over. It was Xu Miaojin, the director of the Technology Research and Manufacturing Bureau.

When Xu Miaojin arrived, Zhu Yunxuan was writing something on the table with a pen. When the palace people on the side saw that it was Xu Miaojin, they became silent.

If it were anyone else, they would naturally have to stop him.

Then he passed the message to His Highness Taisun.

But if it was Xu Miaojin, the palace people would naturally not dare to stop her. After all, who didn't know that this strange woman who was famous all over the capital had long been the appointed empress of the Ming Dynasty, and maybe she would be in charge of the harem in a few years.

By then, Xu Miaojin will be their immediate boss!

Who dares to stop?

Doesn’t this mean he wishes he would die early?

Xu Miaojin walked into the house, walked quietly behind Zhu Yunxu, and took a closer look, only to see Zhu Yunxu drawing a carriage with a very strange shape.

The regulations are several times longer than the carriage of a normal carriage.

There are many wheels below.

Under the wheels, there is no ordinary road surface, but a groove that fits the wheels exactly. There are two rows of wheels and two tracks.

Xu Miaojin asked slightly curiously: "Your Highness, what is this?"

Only then did Zhu Yunzhen come back to his senses.I was so focused just now that I didn't even see Xu Miaojin arriving.

Putting down the pen in his hand gently, Zhu Yunxi turned to look at Xu Miaojin and said, "You're here."

Then he explained: "This is..."

Zhu Yunzhen was about to call a train, but when he thought about it carefully, this thing is not driven by a steam engine and does not need to burn charcoal fire. How can he call a train?
But I thought about it again, should I call a carriage?
"Forehead……"

Zhu Yunxuan shook his head and said with some humor: "This is a train!"

"Didn't I ask your Technical Research and Manufacturing Bureau to research steam engines before? If the structure of a large steam engine is researched in the future."

"You can rely on the power of the steam engine to drive these carriages."

"Hence the name train."

"But now, we can use horses to drag it first and try it first."

Zhu Yunzhen had already arranged the research on steam engines.

After all, the principle of a steam engine is really simple. It is nothing more than boiling water. The individual structure is also very simple and not difficult.

But the real difficulty lies in the structure of the large steam engine.

This involves a truly blank knowledge of the Ming Dynasty. You must know that the power brought by a single piston is very weak, and if you want to drive a train, you need many pistons to do work at the same time.

The difficulty suddenly increased countless times.

In his previous life, Zhu Yunzhen had the opportunity to see the internal structures of some large steamships and trains.

It can be said to be extremely complicated.

After hearing this, Xu Miaojin roughly understood what Zhu Yunzhen meant.

He said apologetically: "The matter of the steam engine is due to the incompetence of our Technical Research and Manufacturing Bureau."

"Let His Highness down."

But Zhu Yunzhen just waved his hand.

I don't care too much.

Said: "It doesn't matter, this thing is complicated to begin with, just take your time."

"But it's not difficult to build this carriage and rails."

"Take it back and let the people below study it."

Xu Miaojin nodded and carefully put away the drawings. From her perspective, she could see that this thing was nothing more than a layer of iron sheet.

It is not even necessary to use iron, wood can be used instead.

It's just the weight they can carry that's different.

But now the Ming Dynasty does not have such a large demand for transportation. As long as it can carry some soldiers and supplies, the worst thing is that it can deliver less things at one time.

"Okay, you can go down."

"I will discuss Beiyuan's surrender with other ministers later."

"This time, at least cut off a piece of flesh from the Tatars!"

Zhu Yunxuan's eyes were filled with important matters of family and country.

Xu Miaojin glanced at Zhu Yunzhen resentfully and sighed softly in her heart. It took a lot of effort to meet her, but she had to drive her away before even saying a few words.

But after all, it is about Beiyuan.

Xu Miaojin could only take the drawings and turn around and leave.

I was silently hoping in my heart that it would be great if His Highness the Great Grandson could grow up quickly.

As time goes by.

Xu Miaojin has grown into a girl, but Zhu Yunzhen is not yet ten years old, but he looks like a teenager.
