However, when everyone saw the power of the train and the charm of the magical machines, no one could resist their curiosity.

And Zhang Nuo didn't use the network map of the later generations to fool him. Although his PPT is very scumbag, all the pictures in it are the real picture of Pyongyang Road.

In other words, every picture in it is authentic and credible. If someone follows Zhang Nuo on a trip to Pyongyang Road, all of them can be seen and touched.

As soon as these words came out, there was a sudden silence in the venue. Although the officials present did not know how Zhang Nuo used other methods to make the appearance of other places so lifelike and real, the name of His Royal Highness King Qin was guaranteed. , Said that these things have already appeared in Pyongyang Road, is there really someone who dares to die and insist that this thing is fake?

That's right, all these pictures were taken by Zhang Nuo with his mobile phone. This is also a habit of Zhang Nuo. Even in Datang, he still feels that something is missing without a mobile phone in his hand.

But it is precisely because of this habit of carrying a mobile phone with him that he has photographed countless memorable moments. Maybe he was just a whim at the time, but at this time it has become a precious material.

Looking at the familiar figures that occasionally flashed across the screen, everyone was lamenting the magic of industry on the one hand, and on the other hand, why weren't they surprised at the greatness of Zhang Nuo's method?

It took Zhang Nuo a whole half a day to finally understand the concept of industry in general. At this moment, Changsun Wuji spoke,

"Your Highness, it seems that the morning is coming to an end. I have a question that has been lingering in my heart for a long time. It can even be said that when Your Majesty talked about these things yesterday, it was actually this problem that got stuck. I feel that If you don't understand this question, the lower official will not even have the desire to eat, so I hope His Highness will give you some advice!"

Zhang Nuo nodded. Of course he knew what Changsun Wuji was going to ask. Yesterday Li Shimin had already explained to him the focus of the debate in the court, that is, railways and trains can only be used to transport people and materials, but the consumption of steel But there are so many, if these steels are forged into weapons and armor, wouldn't it be possible to arm hundreds of thousands of people?

Then with these hundreds of thousands of soldiers, the Turks will have to be wiped out. Isn't this better than building those trains?

In fact, Zhang Nuo was going to talk about this issue in the afternoon, but looking at Changsun Wuji like this, it is estimated that if he didn't talk about it, he wouldn't be able to eat lunch today.

After bowing his head and instructing the people next to him that lunch was postponed for half an hour, Zhang Nuo turned his head and said to everyone,

"It seems that you have been holding back for a long time. If you don't answer this question, you won't be able to eat well. Then I will briefly talk about it, and then go to eat!"

After Zhang Nuo finished speaking, he adjusted to the PPT screen that he was going to talk about in the afternoon, pointed to the train on the screen that Zhang Nuo complained about wasting money and said loudly,

"This thing is the train that my lord introduced before, that is to say, many people don't understand why it was built. Now my lord will explain it to you!"

"First of all, the biggest function of this thing is material delivery, and it is fast material delivery. Many people don't understand the changes that material delivery can bring, so let's give an example!"

"Assuming that the construction of the port area planned by the king in Dengzhou is now completed, and then a railway from the port area to Chang'an is completed, then what will happen is that the materials on the Pyongyang Road can be quickly transported by sea in Dengzhou. Landed in the state, and then transported to Chang'an by railway!"

"Everyone knows that the Tang Dynasty has a vast territory, and there are unique products from all over the world. They are very expensive to buy on weekdays, but they are ordinary items that people can throw away at home!"

"For example, sea fish, this king can't eat a few even in the palace on weekdays. Occasionally, a little is still dry, and the price is even more expensive!"

"But in fact, whether it's in Pyongyang or Dengzhou, sea fish is really not a valuable thing. Even in the homes of ordinary people, this thing is also an existence that is tired of eating!"

"But once the railway is open to traffic, no matter whether it is Dengzhou or Pyongyang, after simple processing, the caught sea fish can reach Chang'an in no more than three days!"

"Then this will lead to a result, that is, you can see, buy, and eat a lot of sea fish in Chang'an!"

"Because the sea fish caught in Dengzhou is not expensive, even if you add the freight and profit, the price is not particularly expensive when the merchants sell it to the people in Chang'an, so many people will definitely buy it to try it out, and even give it to their own family. Buy some for your child to nourish his body!"

"In this way, the price will naturally rise when there are more buyers, which will give the people in Dengzhou an extra income, and at the same time, the government will also get an extra income from the commercial tax. Chang'an The people have one more food they can afford!"

"It's just sea fish, so what about other things? Can the rice and cloth from Pyongyang be sent to Chang'an? On the other hand, there are so many small workshops in Chang'an, and the things produced in Chang'an can't compete with others at all. That is Can't it be shipped to other places for sale?"

"This is only the delivery of materials, and then the delivery of personnel and information, which will bring even more benefits!"

"For example, in Chang'an, as the workshops of the king and many families have been put into production in batches, it has become more and more difficult to recruit workers, and the wages are getting higher and higher. After all, there are only so many people in Chang'an!"

"But at the same time, there are still many places in the Tang Dynasty. There are many families with little land and poor harvests. Even if they want to find some work to subsidize their families, they can't find it. Can these people use the railway to come to Chang'an to work?"

"In the past, people dared not go out because of the high mountains and high waters on the road. Now it only takes a few days to go back and forth. Don't you dare to go out? Not to mention that after the railway, the court can receive all kinds of news from the local government in time, and can pass The rapid transportation capability of the railway can deploy troops in the first time!"

"Just think about it, no matter how many soldiers there were in the past, they couldn't cover the entire Tang Dynasty, but now that there is a railway, there is no need to raise so many soldiers, because once there is a problem, in the past, it would take ten and a half days for the nearest troops to arrive. Months, but now it only takes a few days, isn't it more stable than before?"

"The above are some of my explanations on the role of railways. I believe that anyone who is not elm-headed can understand the role of railways. Let's stop talking and eat!"

Chapter 591 The Meeting Continues

In fact, Zhang Nuo's role in the railway was really just a few casual remarks. After all, it was time for lunch, so if he really opened up about it, it would be afternoon. The most important thing was that he was hungry!

Moreover, no matter what, the railway system is only a part of the industry. Although it can be regarded as the most important part at present, in reality, the industrial development of a country is not as simple as the railway project.

What Zhang Nuo will talk about in the afternoon is the specific content of the entire industrial system.

From raw material mining, refining, manufacturing, transportation, and sales, there are actually shadows of industrialization in every link. It can even be said that why later generations divide industry into heavy industry and light industry. It is because the industry alone covers too much. wide.

The noon lunch and lunch break went smoothly, although these ministers were not very used to the routine of sitting opposite each other and eating together.

But the long-term meal sharing system has made them very accustomed to lunch in the form of a buffet, and the most famous thing in Zhang Nuo's Lantian City is the strange and weird dishes in the cafeteria, which they have never seen before but very delicious dishes. .

There are no expensive dishes, just common things on the market, but I have to say that they are delicious.

Li Shimin was supposed to go to Zhang Nuo's house for dinner. After all, the emperor still had many rules when eating. Only at Zhang Nuo's house did such rules disappear. Anyway, he would eat whatever Zhang Nuo arranged.

But he didn't know if there was a short circuit in his brain today or what, he actually ate with everyone in the cafeteria.

This caused even Zhang Nuo to look at him in disbelief when he came over after lunch. You must know that Lao Li doesn't care about his own safety and his superiority and inferiority, regardless of what he likes to play. It is very important to see.

In Lao Li's eyes, if you are not qualified to have dinner with us, then you will never have this opportunity.

It's just that no matter what happens, it's Lao Li's own choice, and Zhang Nuo doesn't care about it. He doesn't care whether Lao Li is doing it to show off himself or win someone over, as long as he thinks it's okay.

In the afternoon, everyone had eaten their fill and rested for a while, and Zhang Nuo pulled them into the conference room again.

If the morning is about science popularization and talking about some relatively broad things, then the afternoon is really talking about the benefits.

First and foremost, what can industry do and what effect does it have on the country.

For this point, there are too many things to talk about. Zhang Nuo used the steam engine as an example, from textile machines to steelmaking, from trains to manpower tricycles, from the needles and threads around him to new weapons.

It can be said that Zhang Nuo really painted a magnificent, beautiful but extremely realistic picture scroll for everyone with PPT and speech.
