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

Chapter 410 Power!at all costs!
But if you want to lay a railway to Mobei, what a huge project is this?
And just a railway to Mobei is not enough.

Within the territory of the Ming Dynasty, a railway was barely enough. Most of the soldiers and supplies came from the capital, and only a railway from the capital to Mobei was needed.

But within Mobei.

However, it requires many railways to crisscross the country and the construction of many fortresses to ensure that Mobei can return home.

Because these fortresses must be relied upon to station soldiers.

It also completes the daily maintenance of the railway, patrols along the railway line on weekdays, and prevents man-made damage to the railway. If there is a rebellion, the situation can be reported immediately.

So that Ming Dynasty could send troops to Mobei as soon as possible.

only if.

Only then can we completely make Mo Bei return to his heart, or in other words, there is no way to have two hearts!
But the problem is.

Just laying a railway from the Gyeonggi area to Mobei is already a big problem. Deep in Mobei, it is even more difficult, requiring too much manpower and material resources.

I want to implement this kind of decision in Ming Dynasty.

I'm afraid it will take a lot of effort.

……

Fengtian Temple.

early morning.

After Zhu Yunzhen finished handling many chores.

He opened his mouth and said: "I intend to recruit 50 laborers to build a railway from the Gyeonggi area to Mobei. It will be completed within half a year."

"This matter will be handed over to the Ministry of Industry."

“The Ministry of Household Affairs coordinates and is responsible for special allocations.”

Although the matter was handed over to the Ministry of Works, money matters must not be handed over to the Ministry of Works, otherwise people from the Ministry of Works would inevitably embezzle money or use it for other purposes.

This kind of thing is nothing new to Zhu Yunxuan.

Even in later generations, there were various bizarre operations, but in the current environment of the Ming Dynasty, there was not so much room for them to be used.

Most of them were corrupted by officials themselves.

But even so, Zhu Yunxian couldn't completely rest assured, and he would definitely leave this matter to his most trusted department of household affairs to resolve it.

But just after Zhu Yunzhen finished speaking.

However, Xia Yuanji, the Minister of Household Affairs, stood up.

Said: "Your Highness... I don't know what this railway... is?"

Xia Yuanji was a little confused.

Although he is in charge of household affairs and the world's money, he knows nothing about railways.

He can still understand national highways and highways.

But rail?
Is it a road made of steel?How can this be!Not to mention that the current national highways are hard enough to allow all vehicles to pass. With so much steel, the Ming Dynasty did not have such a high output!

At the same time, Xia Yuanji's confusion and doubts were also common to all ministers in the DPRK.

Why didn't they know that something like a railway suddenly appeared in Ming Dynasty?

It's just that the Ming Dynasty is still very young, and most of the officials in the court are young people, and the new gadgets that have appeared from time to time in recent years have given them enough resistance.

Let them be able to resist the shock brought by the emergence of these brand-new things.

Faced with the questions of the DPRK and Chinese civil and military officials.

Zhu Yunzhen did not speak.

Instead, a person from the Technology Research and Manufacturing Bureau stood up and explained: "My lords."

"The so-called railway is the road needed for a new form of transportation developed by our Technology Research and Manufacturing Bureau."

"This new form of transportation does not require horses to pull it."

"Rather, you only need to rely on a large instrument, and continuously add coal and boil water to drive it."

"Its speed can not only travel thousands of miles in a day."

"It is even more tireless and can travel day and night, hauling numerous soldiers and supplies."

After someone stood up and explained.

The ministers in the DPRK have just roughly understood what this railway is.

It turned out to be a new type of road.

It's just that this kind of road cannot be used together with the national highway, and normal horse-drawn carriages cannot travel on it. Instead, a new type of transportation called a 'train' is needed!
And the train.

As the name suggests, it is a vehicle powered by fire!

Just like the naming logic of the carriage.

Everyone soon had a general understanding of this, but what followed was more opposition!
"Your Highness!"

"This new type of transportation is so convenient, why should it be built in Mobei?"

"It's better to build it nearby first, in the Gyeonggi area."

“Wouldn’t it be better to open up a route from the Gyeonggi area to Songjiang Prefecture?”

Although everyone is still not sure about the specific performance of this train, according to the description of the Technical Research and Manufacturing Bureau, it is obvious that this kind of thing has a very strong ability to haul cargo!

And it’s fast too!
Not weaker than a horse running at full speed!Even more tireless!
But more so.

Many ministers didn't even understand why Zhu Yunzhen would lay such a thing in Mobei. After all, Mobei was extremely desolate!

There is no need for development at all!
As for roads, it is obvious that the more prosperous the road section is, the more effective it will be!
Just like when the national highway was first laid, it was first built in the Gyeonggi region.

Then it continued to expand from the surroundings of Yingtian Mansion, and Yingtian Mansion naturally became the center of the Ming Dynasty!Not only is it a political center, it is also a military center!economic center!

Undertaken the task of collecting and distributing goods for the entire Ming Dynasty!
Countless commodities were produced in the capital of the Ming Dynasty, and then spread throughout the Ming Dynasty through these roads extending in all directions!

And now, new means of transportation have been invented.

It was supposed to be a good thing that benefited the country and the people, but now Ming Dynasty's transportation capacity is already inadequate.

If we can rely on this kind of train to double the transportation capacity of the Ming Dynasty Capital, it will be enough for the Ming Dynasty Capital City to continue its rapid development for several years!
But now, after getting this new type of transportation, His Highness Taisun.

The first thing to do was to lay a railway to Mobei!

Naturally, this cannot be understood by the ministers in the DPRK!It’s even more impossible for the people in Haisi to understand!

Zhai Shan, director of the overseas shipping department, was the second to step forward.

He objected: "Your Highness, for such a convenient method, I think it should be built in the hinterland of the Ming Dynasty first!"

"First build a railway from the capital to Songjiang Prefecture, and then open railways from multiple coastal cities to the capital!"

"In this way, Ming Dynasty will be able to create several more huge outlets to the sea."

"You can build more shipyards, build more ships, and control the establishment of more colonies!"

Zhai Shan considered the use of railways from the perspective of going to sea.

As long as there is this thing called a 'train', then the Ming Dynasty can invest massive amounts of materials to expand multiple ports at the seaports of other coastal areas!

For example, in the Lingnan region, several ports were added.

Then connected by train.

By continuing to transport supplies south, the road from Ming Dynasty to the Nanyang Sea will be more convenient!

Save a lot of distance!

For another example, the Ming Dynasty could use railways to connect the capital with Shandong.

Multiple outlets to the sea have been established in Shandong.

If you go to Japan in the future, you can go to sea from a closer place, instead of having to start from the magic city of Songjiang Prefecture!
The Ming Dynasty had a vast territory.Many times, starting from different places, the time and distance required are different.

If only railways were really so convenient.

It can completely reduce a lot of obstacles for Ming Dynasty to go to sea!

For example, people who wanted to go to sea in the Ming Dynasty did not need to go to Songjiang Mansion first. Instead, they could go directly to the Lingnan area in the south, go to sea at another port, and reach nearby colonies.

As such.

It not only avoids the current problems of weak sea access and congestion in Songjiang Prefecture.

It can also make Ming Dynasty take a big step forward in its journey to the sea!

Therefore, Zhai Shan definitely does not advocate Zhu Yunxu to lay a railway to Mobei, because in his opinion, this is a complete waste of manpower and material resources!
50 workers!
This is more than the construction of the Jinling Yangtze River Bridge!

So much manpower and material resources.

Just to build a railway that is of little use!

Is this just a waste?

What a prodigal!
But of course Zhai Shan did not dare to talk to Zhu Yunxuan like this. The reason why he even said these words was entirely because Zhu Yunxuan had said before that if the sea voyage failed, he would have his head chopped off!
Otherwise, even if Zhai Shan was given a hundred courages, he would not dare to object!
but……

Zhai Shan's opposition was actually more of an act of shirking responsibility. He had already determined in his heart that Zhu Yunzhen was determined.

It's impossible to change your mind.

That's why he came up with his previous suggestions, because only if he raised objections today, and when Ming's plan to go to sea encounters resistance and falls into a bottleneck in the future, will he have a suitable excuse.

Only then will there be a suitable reason to shirk.

What's more, Daming's overseas business has indeed encountered a lot of resistance!
Almost saturated!
All the people who wanted to go to sea had already gone to sea, and those who had committed crimes and did not want to go to sea in Ming Dynasty were also sent overseas.

Even the beggars were caught by Izumi's people.

Sent to the colony to let each other start a new life.

Izukuji's actions almost wiped out the entire Ming Dynasty at once!Originally, due to the process of urbanization in the Ming Dynasty, many gangsters and beggars appeared in the Ming Dynasty, but now... they have been wiped out by the Haishu Division!

In the entire Ming Dynasty, no one dared to be brave and ruthless, and no one dared to be a beggar.

Because as long as you hear a little bit of trouble.

The people from the Haishi Department are coming up!In the name of aid, take them away directly and send them to the colony!

Although in the colonies, the people of the Ming Dynasty had a high status and had many benefits that were almost free. The court would also lend them money to develop their own industries locally.

But after all, I was sent overseas, and I want to return to my hometown again in this life.

It is extremely difficult!
So now in the Ming Dynasty, almost everyone is very afraid of Chuhaisi, almost as much as Jin Yiwei!

Except for Zhai Shan.

Xia Yuanji's opposition was also strong.

As the Secretary of the Ministry of Household Affairs, he was in charge of the money bag of the Ming Dynasty. Although Zhu Yunxuan was kind to him, when it was time to seek truth from facts, he had to seek truth from facts!
Build a railway to Mobei.

Definitely a wrong decision!No benefit!
The Tatars were now divided.

Part of Mobei has also nominally belonged to the Ming Dynasty!For Daming, the current situation is satisfactory enough!

No further action is needed at all!

But Zhu Yunzhen's current behavior is like fighting over a piece of chicken rib!
He even used his trump card!
This is completely unwise behavior!

That's all.

How could Zhu Yunxu not know?There are just some things that must be done!
Completely conquering Mobei is only a matter of time for Ming Dynasty. If we do it earlier now, it will only cause some losses to Ming Dynasty. With the national strength of Ming Dynasty, it can fully afford it!
But if you do it later.

It is good for Daming, but Lao Zhu can no longer afford to wait!

Half a year!

Zhu Yunxuan has determined to lay the railway to Mobei within half a year!
No one can stop this!

"Oh, do you have an opinion?"

Zhu Yunzhen said in a neutral tone: "I am not discussing this with you."

"It's an order!"

"You are standing up to oppose one by one, are you going to rebel against Pegasus?!"

"This is the lonely Ming Dynasty!"

"It's also a lonely court!"

"This is not a place for you to be arrogant!"

"Half a year!"

"I only give you half a year! The railway from the Gyeonggi area to Mobei must be laid!"

"And within Mobei, we must ensure that there are at least three railways connected vertically and horizontally!"

"Every fifty miles along the way, a fort with a garrison capacity of 500 people will be erected!"

"If you can't do it, then you don't have to keep doing it!"

Zhu Yunxuan was furious!
Two years later.

Zhu Yunzhen's power became stronger and stronger, and many ministers in the court were so oppressed by Zhu Yunzhen's momentum that they could not lift their heads.

And Xia Yuanji and Zhai Shan are already in cold sweat!

They all bowed their heads and knelt down.

I dare not even say it.

Seeing this scene, all the civil and military officials in the DPRK and China couldn't help but break into cold sweats.

Although His Highness Taisun has not managed the government for two years, his authority has not been damaged at all!
Even the Minister of Household Affairs and the Director of the Overseas Affairs Department are such powerful people.

Facing His Highness Taisun, I dare not make any mistakes!

"What Your Highness said is very true."

"His Highness has already made a decision. All we, my ministers, need to do is comply with it."

Yang Shiqi, the Minister of Civil Affairs, stood up.

Said: "What's more, His Highness has never made any mistakes in his decisions."

"It's just that you haven't seen His Highness Taisun's true intention yet!"

"The vision and structure are far less broad than His Highness!"

Zhai Shan and Xia Yuanji got off the donkey along the slope.

He quickly said: "It is because we failed to understand the profound meaning of His Highness the Grand Sun."

"I hope His Highness Taisun will forgive me!"

Zhu Yunzhen's complexion improved a lot.

He waved his hand.

Said: "Do what you should do."

"In any case, I must see such a railway open to traffic within half a year."

"If it can't be done."

"Nar and others are asking!"

The railway to Mobei will be built sooner or later. Lao Zhu's regret is just an introduction!

really important.

Still Zhu Yunzhen's supreme authority in the court!
Absolute power!
No one is allowed to object!
