Daming: I am the most powerful emperor grandson, please abdicate the throne

Chapter 457 Visiting the Train
  The next morning.

Zhu Yuanzhang ended the court meeting as soon as possible and took Zheng Ci, the minister of the Ministry of Industry, as well as a group of imperial uncles and even the King of Yan, Zhu Di, limping over to Zhu Xuan's factory.

Zhu Di's spanking was much better than yesterday.

The pain was less, but I still couldn't sit, so I could only lie down on the carriage and follow the people out of the city.

Of course Zhu Xuan was sitting on the dragon chariot with Zhu Yuanzhang.

"Fourth brother, your ass is good!"

Zhu Mo looked at Zhu Di on the carriage and said with a smile: "You can go out now. I was beaten by my father before and couldn't get up and move after lying down for half a month."

Zhu Gui echoed: "Because the fourth brother was beaten by my father a lot in the past, he was beaten hard and recovered quickly."

Zhu Di: "..."

These younger brothers are still making fun of themselves.

However, at such an old age, he still felt very embarrassed to be beaten by his father. He said, "How about I talk to my father and beat you often so that you can get rid of your iron butt?"

"Then no need."

Zhu Mo waved his hand quickly.

They chatted and hurried on their way, and soon arrived outside the factory.

"What is Xiao Yunxuan doing?"

Zhu Ru asked curiously.

The emperor's uncles who knew what Zhu Xuan was going to do were probably Zhu Song and Zhu Mo. The others were confused and couldn't understand Zhu Xuan's intention of bringing them to the factory.

"You'll find out later, so don't be too surprised."

Zhu Song smiled.

Hearing this, the imperial uncles were full of expectations.

Of course they knew that Zhu Song had been making money with Zhu Xuan and must have gotten a lot of inside information.

But when they thought about making money, they envied Zhu Song. It was said that the number of daily subscriptions for Daming Bookstore's novels in the city alone was tens of thousands, and those cosmetics could make a fortune every day.

"Twenty-year-old brother, how is your business lately?"

Zhu Zhen asked.

Zhu Song was immediately alert. They wouldn't want to ask him to borrow money or get in, right?

"We are reluctant to do so. We can only say that we don't lose money. In fact, we can't make much money. Apart from various costs, we don't get much." Zhu Song said miserably, "Actually, I also want to ask brothers and sisters, if you have spare money, If so, you can give me some."

Zhu Su said: "We haven't asked you to borrow money yet, so why don't you ask us first?"

The brothers burst out laughing.

Zhu Di was wondering what Zhu Xuan was going to do.

However, he heard that Zhu Xuan was very rich and could bring Zhu Song to make money with him. He also felt envious. After all, he made weapons privately in Peiping and had to squeeze out a little money to make them. He was really too poor. !
  Zhu Yuanzhang, who was walking in front, heard their laughter coming from behind and laughed heartily: "My dear grandson, you have a good relationship with your imperial uncles! The Ming Dynasty will still need to rely on them in the future."

Zhu Xuan could hear that the emperor was instilling in him the importance of the emperor's uncles, and echoed: "Yes! With the emperor's uncle and the others here, I feel at ease."

"That's right!"

Zhu Yuanzhang said again: "We're here, what are you going to do, my dear grandson?"

Zhu Xuan looked out from the dragon chariot and said: "There is no need to enter the factory, go south."

Jin Yiwei, who was in charge of driving, quickly changed direction. After walking for a short time, he finally arrived at the place.

The train track has been laid here, and a train with eight carriages and two locomotives appears in front of you.

The train track was very long, so Zhu Xuan dismantled all the ten miles of track and brought it back, and then arranged for people to work day and night to lay the ground. Finally, he used a crane to hang the train carriages on the track and reconnect them.

"This is……"

When Zhu Yuanzhang got off the dragon chariot and saw the train, he was surprised for a moment, but also felt puzzled because he couldn't understand what it was.

"Grandpa Huang, this is called a train. It is the latest research technology in the Science Pavilion."

Zhu Xuan explained: "This train can travel without horses. It can also travel day and night without stopping. It is very fast. Why don't you give it a try?" Before Zhu Yuanzhang could speak, Zhu Xi stepped forward and looked. When I got to the train, I asked loudly: "Xiao Yunxuan, what is that?"

"train!"

Zhu Xuan had to explain it again.

When the emperor's uncles heard how magical the train was, they looked up and down, full of interest.

Zheng Ci, the minister of the Ministry of Industry, immediately walked over and looked at the locomotive curiously for a long time. With his level, he couldn't actually see anything.

The Science Pavilion has developed one after another, but the adults in the Ministry of Industry have only read the books of sages and have no interest in those strange skills. Except that the Science Pavilion occasionally arranges for one or two people to join the Ministry of Engineering, there is no other connection between the two. .

Although the technology in the Science Pavilion is good, the Ministry of Industry is too arrogant to bother to learn it.

"Go up and have a look."

Zhu Yuanzhang said with great interest.

Now that Guaisun is rich, he doesn't care about messing with these things. After all, those battleships can be built, and it is normal to have one more train.

Maybe this train is as useful as a battleship.

They soon arrived in the carriage.

There is no decoration inside, it is empty, except for a relatively simple place to sit, there is nothing else.

"Xiao Yunxuan, this thing of yours is so big, can it really move?"

Zhu Zhen asked in disbelief.

Zhu Xuan nodded and said: "Of course. Grandpa Huang, sit tight. Grandson, let the train start moving. This track is ten miles long in total. You can feel the speed."

"let's start!"

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded.

After a while, black smoke rose from the locomotive.

The train vibrated for a moment, then officially started moving along the tracks.

"It's moving, it's really moving!"

Zhu Ying said in shock.

Zhu Dong looked out of the car window and saw the scenery on both sides, constantly moving backwards, and exclaimed: "This speed is getting faster and faster!"

Really moving, and moving fast.

Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help but look outside.

It was a miracle, even a miracle, to be able to pull such a heavy carriage without a horse-drawn carriage, relying solely on a huge locomotive.

Just like those steel battleships, they were amazed.

"it is good!"

Zhu Yuanzhang said with admiration while watching.

Zhu Xuan said: "Grandpa Huang, my grandson has an idea. If the railway is built to Datong, then we will have to fight the enemies on the grassland on a large scale. Wouldn't it be very convenient to transport troops, grain and grass? A train can transport them quickly. A lot of troops, a lot of food.”

Hearing this, the vassal kings first brightened up.

According to the speed and load of the train, if a war really breaks out, Yingtian's various supplies can be continuously sent to the front line by train at the fastest speed. This is faster than horse-drawn supplies. How many times, saving time and effort.

You must know that during a war, logistical support is extremely important.

If the logistics cannot keep up, no matter how strong the military force is, it will be nothing more than that.

As the founding emperor who conquered the country, Zhu Yuanzhang pondered for a while and was very surprised after hearing Zhu Xuan's words.

My dear, this idea is feasible!
  This train is definitely an artifact that can greatly shorten the distance from Yingtian to various places in Daming.

Zheng Ci said excitedly: "Congratulations, Your Majesty, for getting such a magical weapon. As His Royal Highness the Young Emperor Sun said, trains are of great military use and benefit!"
