The great emperor of crossing

After Zhan Tianyou took care of himself, he still wanted Lin Zexu to take a good look at him.

"Come on, you're clean already!"

"Then let's hurry up and start now! It's not too late."

Led by Lin Zexu, Zhan Tianyou finally entered the Palace of Qinzheng, only to find that Zhang Zhidong and Zhang Yi were already drinking tea.

"The chief railway engineer of the empire has finally arrived. It seems that today we can put the construction of the railway on the agenda. Zhan Tianyou, sit down quickly, don't worry about anything."

Zhang Yi found that Zhan Tianyou in front of him seemed a little reserved, so he directly elevated himself to the position of an elder, so that the younger generation in front of him might look a little calmer.

"Oh!"

Zhan Tianyou still felt a little uncomfortable, after all, this was the first time he came to the palace, and it was also the first time he entered the heart of such an empire.

"I heard that you seem to have your own theory about building railways, right? Can you share some of the principles with us?"

Zhang Yi seemed more and more approachable, but Zhan Tianyou always felt that there were many things that he couldn't let go of. Perhaps it was because he was still not used to this place just now, so he chose not to speak for the time being.

"Aren't you usually good at talking? Did you become dumb after meeting Prime Minister Wang this time?"

"That's not okay. In the future, you will also become a figure in the empire's head office. If you don't do well in this matter, it may have a great impact on you in the future. Just show your usual temperament. Don't worry about anything else."

After Zhan Tianyou heard what Zhang Yi said, he was still skeptical, so he looked at Zhang Zhidong next to him.

"Be obedient, you really don't need to worry about anything, as long as we are here, everything can be achieved."

"Then I'll say everything I need to say!"

At this time, Zhan Tianyou finally stopped being cautious, and began to describe all the thoughts in his heart, but this time he planned to use a step-by-step method, otherwise these people probably wouldn't understand.

"In fact, building railways and building official roads and highways is the same reason. With the current technology of the empire, there is still no way to build high-speed railways, so we can't be too ambitious now. My idea is actually very simple, that is, seize the time to form first. A rail network that works both for rail and for freight."

At this time, Zhan Tianyou began to look around in the Hall of Qinzheng, and finally saw the map that made him mesmerized.

"Can I draw on this map?"

"Just draw it directly. The most indispensable thing in the Palace of Qinzheng is a map."

Zhan Tianyou directly took the map off the top and began to draw on the table. After a while, a railway network appeared.

"It feels like something similar to Tianzi."

"This is my idea, four horizontal and four vertical, and as you have seen, the place I drew also includes some places where the empire has not yet been unified, so everyone should know that after the construction of such a railway network, the empire It will be very convenient to realize the great unification.”

It seems that Zhan Tianyou's ambition is also very big, such a person decided to completely release the entire railway network of the empire in his own hands.

"Then can you tell me what the function of the railway is? In other words, why is the whole world building railways now?"

"Because railways mean circulation, and circulation means exchange. Only in this case can the empire's market gradually expand, so it is very convenient to form a new economy."

"Do you want to talk about railway economy? This term seems to be very popular abroad."

"In my opinion, the railway economy will be obsolete sooner or later, and the main reason for building railways now is to figure out how the empire can do it, and after the railways are completed, there is also a need to hurry up and build high-speed railways around these railways , when these two methods are completed, the empire has already taken off."

Zhang Yi felt very tangled and unfamiliar when he heard the word Tengfei, because he didn't expect that the construction of the railway could be linked to Tengfei.

"Then I don't understand. According to your statement, as long as the railway is built, the national economy will be revitalized. Isn't that the railway economy? And why do you say that the railway economy will become obsolete?"

"Because everyone is still talking about such a railway, and everyone will spend more energy to build this railway. This is the real railway economy, but when the railway is fully formed, the real effect is the railway. transportation, but it is absolutely impossible to make money through railways. This is the infrastructure of an empire, but the added value of railways is very powerful. It can circulate the goods of the entire country, such as the iron and steel of the empire. After the company builds a batch of products, it can directly sell them in markets across the country through a series of means, so that everything can be done in place in the future.”

Zhang Yi felt very happy looking at the young man in front of her. It seems that railway transportation is indeed something that cannot be ignored.

"In the future, you need to be bolder. I have an idea now. Since you know so much about railways, I will take you to the emperor directly. We must hurry up and build a railway company according to the emperor's request. Of course, this kind of railway company is also controlled by the state, and your task is very simple, that is, to fully build the railway as soon as possible, and my idea is also very clear, if you need to import from abroad, please let me know immediately.”

When Zhan Tianyou heard that he was going to see the emperor, he became a little nervous.

"Can this matter be postponed? I also want to write an article and send it directly to the emperor as a meeting gift, otherwise I really don't know what the effect will be if I go to see him empty-handed."

After all, he is just a real citizen and civilian, not even an official, but judging from the current situation, Lin Zexu was admitted with an exception. If he is admitted again with an exception, will it cause chaos across the country, so at least I also have to prepare a series of things at this time before going to see the emperor.

"How long is this suspension? Now the railway company is a very difficult matter. We have been struggling to find talents, but you showed up at this time. Isn't this God's will?"

Zhang Yi still hoped to get things done first, at least Zhan Tianyou didn't need to worry about other things now.
