Daming: If I find a great-grandson, I will teach an emperor through the ages

Chapter 221 The first railway in Ming Dynasty was completed!

Zhang Yu didn't stay in Daming for only two days. Under Zhu Xiongying's instructions, he took military supplies and some bank personnel and embarked on the non-stop journey to the Sun and Moon Kingdom again.

Now is the early stage of the construction of the Sun and Moon Kingdom. Time is precious. Zhu Xiongying does not want to waste time. Zhang Yu has no complaints about this. In the construction of the Sun and Moon Kingdom, they, who are already subjects of the Sun and Moon Kingdom, are the beneficiaries, and they should be so.

Besides, Emperor Zhu Xiongying of the Ming Dynasty also gave a lot of money and other material support this time, so what else could he complain about?

In the blink of an eye, another few months passed, and in a blink of an eye, it was the ninth year of Yongwu.

The scientific research institute located on the south side of Yingtian Mansion was finally built. Considering the close connection between the scientific research institute and the manufacturing bureau, the location of the scientific research institute was not too far away from the manufacturing bureau. It only takes half an hour to walk there.

After the scientific research institute was built, Cao Wei began to move all research and development matters to the scientific research institute. He spent a few days dividing the work between Xie Jin and others, and began to refine gasoline, develop internal combustion engines, and develop aircraft.

Xie Jin and Yi Qiu are the ten people with the highest understanding and the best talents among the students taught by Cao Wei. With them helping Cao Wei do things, Cao Wei himself feels a lot easier.

Let them try what should be tested, and let them calculate what should be calculated. Cao Wei has become a hands-off shopkeeper. It is not appropriate to say that, because although Cao Wei does not need to directly contribute most of the time, he still needs to keep an eye on it. Xie Jin and their work progress.

Fortunately, Xie Jin and the others were very upbeat and had never made any mistakes, so Cao Wei's supervision was reduced a lot.

There are talented people like Xie Jin at the Research Institute, but Cao Wei is not free from worries.

Time flies, and his son Cao Lin has been six years old unknowingly since he was born in the second year of Yongwu and now in the eighth year of Yongwu.

Watching him grow up day by day, Cao Wei always felt that nothing had changed. Even if Cao Lin learned to walk at the age of two, talk at the age of three, and be able to read at the age of four, Cao Wei felt that Cao Lin was still so young.

But recently, little Cao Lin started climbing over trees on the wall to dig out bird eggs... Cao Wei finally realized that this little guy had grown up and was starting to become naughty.

Even sometimes when Cao Wei taught him a lesson, he dared to muster up the courage to argue with Cao Wei. When he saw that Cao Wei was about to take action, he quickly went to his mother for protection.

Fortunately, Zhu Hanming is not an unreasonable woman. She knows that educating children should start from childhood, and she also knows that a small tree will not grow straight until it is cultivated. She usually will not protect Cao Lin, but will only scream when Cao Lin is beaten by Cao Wei. When I had runny nose and burst into tears, I offered words of advice.

The couple played a sweet role and the other a bad face, and they were always able to treat Cao Lin submissively easily.

It's just that this kid Cao Lin also has a tenacity and never changes despite repeated admonitions. Anyway, no matter how hard Cao Wei beat him the day before, he forgot the pain the next day and still made all kinds of troubles, and then he was beaten again, and so on.

On this day, Cao Wei came out of the Scientific Research Institute and walked around the manufacturing bureau before heading towards his house.

Then... then, Cao Lin was pressed down and beaten again.

Because Cao Wei saw that a picture of a chicken eating rice was drawn on the lower skirt of the maid Xiaoyu.

Without even thinking about it, I knew it must be Cao Lin's handwriting.

This kid had painted a Dalmatian dog on his uniform before. After being taught a lesson by Cao Wei, he didn't dare to mess with Cao Wei's clothes again, so he found someone else.

The scar is really healed and I forget the pain!

The key is that when Cao Wei pulled him to question him, Xiao Cao Lin was very tough and insisted that it was painted by other servants in the house.

"I have been studying in the house today and have not gone out. How could I draw sister Xiaoyu's clothes? It must be someone else who framed me!"

Xiao Cao Lin yelled with his neck pulled, and what he said seemed to be reasonable, but in the entire Cao family, no one else except him would do such a thing.

So Cao Wei knew very well that the culprit must be the tough-talking little guy in front of him, so he immediately grabbed the sole of his shoe and slapped it again.

"It's not you, isn't it? It's not you, isn't it? It's a frame-up, isn't it? Or is it a frame-up?" Cao Wei asked while whipping the person.

Soon, little Cao Lin could no longer withstand Cao Wei's ruthless ravage, and began to cry for help to Zhu Hanming who was standing aside.

"Mom~Mother, save me! Dad doesn't believe me, please help me."

"If you don't save me, I will be beaten to death by my father. You will have no sons, and there will be no one to provide for you in old age."

When Cao Wei heard this, he pumped his hands even more vigorously.

Although he swung the soles of his shoes vigorously, every time they landed on Cao Lin, he had already lost his strength. This kid was so good that his shouts shook the sky!

Cao Wei used some strength on his hands, and Cao Lin screamed even louder. It wasn't until half an hour later that Cao Lin finally couldn't bear it anymore and admitted his crime.

"I drew it, dad, stop fighting, I know I was wrong, dad, I know I was wrong..."

Zhu Hanming couldn't bear it and stepped forward to persuade Cao Wei.

She didn't feel sorry for Cao Lin, because she knew that Cao Wei would not really beat her son up, but she felt sorry for Cao Wei. He was surrounded by so many things every day, and he had to teach Cao Lin a lesson, how tiring it was.

Zhu Hanming tried to persuade him, and Cao Wei stopped, but still shouted:

"Kneel down! Don't get up unless I call you!"

This little brat is getting more and more naughty. If you don't take care of it now, you may end up with something in the future!

Zhu Hanming cast a helpless look at little Cao Lin, and then took Cao Wei to dinner, but he could only kneel there hungry, his mouth pouting.

After Cao Wei paused for a while, he felt much more relaxed. He remembered that his son was still kneeling there, so he wanted to go over and take a look.

Walking outside the lobby door, I heard conversations coming from inside.

"Master Lin'er, eat quickly, don't let me find you."

Cao Wei quietly looked inside and saw the maid Xiaoyu squatting next to Cao Lin with some chicken drumsticks. Cao Lin had already eaten and her mouth was full of oil.

This Xiaoyu pampers him too much, Cao Wei thought to himself, but he didn't admit that he really had the heart to let his son starve, so he didn't say anything.

After a while, Xiao Cao Lin wiped out the chicken legs that Xiao Yu brought and burped. Xiao Yu took out a handkerchief and wiped the oil stains from his hands.

"Sister Xiaoyu, aren't you angry with me when I drew on your skirt and soiled your skirt?"

"I am unhappy, but I don't want you to be hungry, and I also know that you didn't do it on purpose, you just didn't think too much about it." Xiaoyu said in a coaxing tone.

"Sister Xiaoyu, you are so kind. When I grow up, I will marry someone like you as my wife." Cao Lin said without surprising.

Cao Wei, who was outside, almost couldn't breathe. Where did this kid learn all this?

Xiaoyu also chuckled and heard Cao Lin say:

"I'm sorry, Sister Xiaoyu, I will never do this again. Don't be angry with me."

"Then it depends on whether you will behave well in the future..."

After Xiaoyu finished speaking, there was no sound inside. It must be that Cao Lin knew that she could not be obedient and simply did not answer. Cao Wei only felt a toothache, shook his head and walked away.

Cao Wei certainly has high expectations for his son, but ideals and reality are always so dramatic. The son he has been teaching with all his heart has become a demon king at a young age.

Think again about the expectations you had for him before, such as studying science and technology and developing a strong country...

Cao Wei only felt that there was a long way to go!

In fact, it’s not that Cao Wei’s teachings were bad, but that Lao Zhu and Han were too doting on little Cao Lin. Before she was three or four years old, she would hold it in her hands for fear of touching it, and hold it in her mouth for fear of it melting. They protected little Cao Lin every day. , even Cao Wei, the father, has to step back a little. As Cao Lin grew up, Lao Zhu became better and less doting. However, Zhu Hanming's mother, Han, still had the "loving mother" style and pampered Cao Lin over and over again. head.

Even then, Han was still running to Cao's mansion every two days, and from time to time he sent people to bring Cao Lin into the palace to play. Lao Zhu didn't say anything, and Cao Wei could only let it go.

I think Cao Wei has provided more than a hundred talents for the Ming Dynasty, but now he has failed with his own son. It is really unpredictable.

After walking around the house, Cao Wei turned back to the lobby.

Cao Lin, who was already sitting on the ground, quickly knelt down again after hearing the footsteps.

Seeing Cao Wei walk in, he stood in front of him, grinning with his teeth. This smile completely made Cao Wei lose his temper.

What should I do if I can't even listen to what I say, and I can't remember it even if I beat him?

"Father, I know I was wrong, just let me get up. I really know I was wrong."

Little Cao Lin coquettishly said to Cao Wei that he knew his father was cold-faced and soft-hearted, just like a villain.

Cao Wei snorted, finally waved his hand, and said impatiently: "Get up, get up."

Xiao Cao Lin suddenly beamed with joy, stood up, and bowed to Cao Wei again.

"Thank you, father. Thank you for your generosity! Father, don't be angry. Out of sight, out of mind. I will disappear right now."

After saying that, he turned around and ran out the door. When he passed the threshold, he was knocked and tripped to the ground. He got up and left again without saying a word.

Looking at this scene, Cao Wei couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth. He was such a stable person, how could he give birth to a baby like a monkey?

At some point, Zhu Hanming stood next to Cao Wei.

Cao Wei turned to look at her and said:

"I'm done practicing the tuba. How about we practice the trumpet again?"

Although Zhu Hanming didn't know much about big and small trumpets, after so many years as a couple, he still understood what Cao Wei meant and gave Cao Wei a charming look.

"Nonsense! My son was fine, why did he become useless?"

"Hehehe," Cao Wei smiled.

"But...if you want another one, that's fine."

The next day,

Cao Wei came to the manufacturing bureau and learned a piece of news.

Daming’s first railway from Yingtianxiu to Henan was finally completed!

This news still makes Cao Wei excited. The first railway in Ming Dynasty has been completed. If the trial operation is successful, the laying of railways in other places can be continued! Daming will also usher in a truly efficient era!

After hearing the news, Cao Wei quickly led Song Ping and others to the railway crossing in Yingtian Mansion. When he got there, many people were already gathered around him. When he got closer, he saw clearly that there were people with Zhu Xiongying and the other officials came here, and Zhu Yuanzhang was among them, but he was sitting while others were standing.

On the railway track, an iron train with more than a dozen carriages connected together stood quietly.

"Your Majesty, sir." Seeing Zhu Xiongying, Cao Wei bowed his hands in front of the mountain and saluted.

"No courtesy." Zhu Xiongying waved his hand, and it was obvious that he was very happy.

"Today the railway is completed, but we still need to test whether it can be opened to traffic. If nothing goes wrong, our country will be able to lay the railway again. What will our country look like by then! Hahahaha!" Zhu Xiongying was high-spirited.

In this era, the biggest role of the railway cannot fall on civilians in the first place. The most important thing is the deployment of the army.

First, because the world is not peaceful now. Whether other countries come to invade the Ming Dynasty or the Ming Dynasty expands outwards, with the railway, it becomes countless times easier to mobilize troops! The cost consumed has also been reduced countless times.

The second reason is that there are too few railways now, which are not enough for the military and civilians to use them, so they can only provide important military services first.

But as long as the Ming Dynasty continues to develop, and when the country is covered with railways, the people of the Ming Dynasty will be able to take convenient trains. From then on, poetry and distant places will no longer be a dream.

Seeing Zhu Xiongying happy, all the ministers praised him one after another.

"This is all due to God's blessing on me, the Ming Dynasty! It is His Majesty's blessing!"

"God opens your eyes!"

"Your Majesty is blessed with great blessings, and the railway operation will definitely be safe!"

……

At this moment, how could Zhu Xiongying forget the greatest hero? He turned to look at Cao Wei.

"The completion of the railway is not due to me, but to the Grand Master. I also ask the Grand Master to preside over the trial operation of the railway."

When the ministers saw this, they all changed their tune and began to praise Cao Wei.

"When I saw the train from the Manufacturing Bureau, I knew that what Taishi Cao said would definitely come true, and it turned out to be true!"

"Master Cao is such a talented person that you won't see him for thousands of years!"

"Yes, yes, yes..."

Cao Wei wanted to laugh when he heard this, but Zhu Xiongying had already given him the task of railway trial operation, which also made his heart heavy.

This is the first railway in the Ming Dynasty. The experience and technology are not perfect. Although it is completed, no one knows what will happen if the train is actually driven. It is very likely that the train will crash and people will be killed!

But the test run of the train is necessary. If you don’t give it a try, how will you know whether there is any problem and where the problem lies?

Even if something does happen to the train during operation, it is an extremely valuable experience!

So, who should be allowed to test the train operation?

Cao Wei thought about it again and again, and finally decided to go into battle himself!

"Your Majesty, I am willing to board the train for the Ming Dynasty's first train..."

Before he could finish speaking, Zhu Xiongying interrupted in a deep voice.

"no!"

"The Grand Master is the backbone of our Ming Dynasty's technological development. Anyone can go, but the Grand Master cannot go! If there is something wrong with the Grand Master, the loss to the Ming Dynasty will be incalculable! Absolutely not!"

Cao Wei smiled bitterly in his heart, then he would be in a dilemma, who should he let go?
