The First Military Division of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 572 The Age of Architecture?

At this time, everyone came to realize that Chen Ziming tried his best to gather them together in order to sell the rhythm of patent use rights, but they are not optimistic about the so-called patents. They each have their own markets and their own products. The patents are not very enthusiastic.

As the oldest clan of the Han Dynasty, they not only own a large amount of land, but also have a sound financial company, so there is no need to bother to acquire new products. Although the set made by Chen Ziming makes them feel happy, it is still lacking. attraction.

Seeing that his words did not arouse everyone's interest, Chen Ziming smiled slightly and waved his hands. A group of subordinates handed out patent manuals that had been completed in a hurry.

"Everyone can take a look. This is the first patent manual of the Dahan Patent Management Department. There are many good things in it." Chen Ziming is very confident about this. How to make soap, mirrors, glass, ceramics, etc.

These things were all developed by Chen Ziming, and the patents belonged to the Dahan State Treasury. No one questioned the ownership of these patents. It is well known that these things were created by Chen Ziming, but it is now official.

"Rail train? Is that the carriage we came in?"

According to the patent manual, the first patent was nothing but a carriage that Chen Ziming asked to build according to the trains of later generations. There was no locomotive, and because there was no steam engine that could drive the train, Chen Ziming used horses to pull it.

Decompose the carriages, one carriage into one, and a few horses can pull the carriages and run quickly on the rails.

"I want to explain the matter of the rail car." Seeing that everyone below was discussing the patent of the rail car, Chen Ziming smiled slightly and said: "Everyone has made a rail car, so you should know its advantages."

"Rail cars need special roads. I named them railways. Dahan will build railways in various places to facilitate the people of Dahan to travel and transport goods."

Speaking of this, everyone's eyes lit up. If they had this rail car, it would be much more convenient for them to transport the goods. They don't need to transport the goods slowly one by one, saving time.

"However, the big Han is surrounded by foreign enemies and has no intention of taking care of others, so His Majesty has decided to delegate the right to build the railway. In other words, all of you can obtain the right to build the railway."

As soon as Chen Ziming finished speaking, there was a moment of silence in the hall. Some even looked at Chen Ziming like idiots. They were all smart people. The railway looked simple, but it definitely cost a lot to build.

Although the transportation of railcars is convenient, it is another matter to build them and use them. They don't want to be taken advantage of by this, so they didn't take Chen Ziming's words.

"Excuse me, Prime Minister, will the imperial court pay for the construction of the railway?"

However, there are still smart people among them, who immediately thought of a possibility, if the expenses were paid by the court, then they could benefit from it.

"No." Chen Ziming shook his head and said, "The cost of building the railway is all raised by you."

After hearing Chen Ziming's answer, no one spoke, even a slight cold snort came from them. They are not idiots, and they would do such a thing.

"Of course." Chen Ziming continued: "Your Majesty has decided that all users of the railway built will have to pay tolls to compensate the builders."

"what?!"

After hearing Chen Ziming's words, everyone was shocked and paid the toll as compensation to the builder.They immediately used their imaginations, and trains of railcars passed by, charging countless tolls, which meant that as long as the family owned a railway, it would have a hen that could lay golden eggs.

"Prime Minister, the Zhuge family in Langya is willing to build roads for the great man."

"Prime Minister, the Chen family in Xiapi can also contribute to the great man."

"Prime Minister..."

After hearing Chen Ziming's words, these people immediately became enthusiastic. They built the railway without worrying about no income. They had built railcars, and they were willing to use railcars to transport goods as long as the toll was appropriate.

"It's not urgent." Chen Ziming waved his hands and said, "Building a railway is not a trivial matter. Where it can be built and where it needs to be built, it needs to be formulated by the imperial court. Moreover, the construction of railways is not easy and requires professional guidance. Senior academies in various places in Dahan have established corresponding departments." Courses, cultivate people with corresponding talents, you can find them, and you will get the corresponding technology and corresponding signs for building railways, this is not something ordinary people can do, you should think carefully about it.”

Railways are not comparable to those mud roads. The technical requirements are very high. Without modern machines, they can only be built on flat terrain and hard soil. As for bridges and caves, don’t even think about it. In this era, there is no such technology.

"The construction of railways requires great financial support, and those who do not have the strength need to be cautious." Chen Ziming reminded everyone again that the investment in road construction is not something that ordinary families can afford.

"You don't have to focus all your attention on the construction of the railway. The things needed to build the railway are also indispensable, such as cement and iron materials..." Chen Ziming reminded everyone, and everyone immediately reacted.

"Also, the existing houses all use a lot of wood, which is not only easy to age, but also easy to catch fire, which is not advisable. Therefore, His Majesty will decree to renovate houses in various places, abolish the wood to build houses, and use cement, steel bars, and bricks to build houses. , and easy to set fire to.”

As soon as Chen Ziming said this, everyone gasped and abandoned the wood to build houses. There should be cement and other buildings. It is conceivable that in the near future, the cement and so on that the great man will need in the world does not know how much.

"Everyone, there is another piece of news." Chen Ziming once again sent out another big news: "All town houses need to be planned and built in a unified way, so town houses are not allowed to be built privately, they have to be formulated by the government and handed over to competent people for unified construction. Then they will be sold together.”

"what!?"

The crowd became heated again. Although they didn't know how much it cost to build a house, they knew that there must be some profit in it. Building a house to sell, the house is not afraid that no one will buy it, especially the house in the town.

"Prime Minister, iron materials are controlled by the imperial court and cannot be privately owned..."

Someone soon thought of the doubts. Whether it is a railway or a new-style bungalow, a large amount of iron is needed, but iron is one of the most precious items in this era. Especially in times of war, the consumption of the army is terrible. In many cases, the iron is basically Not enough for the army, let alone for the common people.

Moreover, iron is a material for making weapons. Like guns and ammunition in later generations, it is a controlled product. The imperial court absolutely does not allow ordinary people to own weapons, so the monitoring of iron is very strict. As for the people like them who want to use iron, and such a large scale, almost impossible.
