Back to the Ming Dynasty to be a tyrant

Emperor Chongzhen also really intended to let Hong Chengchou join the cabinet-although the original plan was to let him take the blame, but Hong Chengchou has been very stable and competent step by step since he was appointed as the governor of Yan'an. .

That's hard to come by.

The current Daming cabinet doesn't need many enterprising guys, and it doesn't need amazing talents, but people who can check for their own shortcomings like Wen Tiren!

Hong Chengchou in front of him is a good target!

But it is true as Hong Chengchou said, the Ministry of Railways still has a lot of affairs, let him enter the cabinet now, the affairs of all parts of the world plus the affairs of the Ministry of Railways are enough to crush him to death.

Or, Hong Chengchou can separate the center of gravity, focusing on the cabinet or the Ministry of Railways, but countless things prove that human energy is limited, and it is simply unrealistic to want to cover everything!

Therefore, Emperor Chongzhen, who was also somewhat entangled, left this issue to Hong Chengchou to choose for himself-whether he is willing to enter the cabinet depends on his own thoughts.

When Hong Chengchou refused, Emperor Chongzhen secretly breathed a sigh of relief - the matter of the Ministry of Railways is also an extremely important part of the current Ming Dynasty. Hong Chengchou's management is very good, and he wants to find someone who can replace Hong Chengchou People, it's not easy.

Sun Chengzong has no problem, whether he joins the cabinet or runs the Ministry of Railways, but Sun Chengzong is 76 years old, how many more years can he last?

After another half hour, Emperor Chongzhen, who finally lost his mind, continued, "Since Hong Aiqing is willing to continue to preside over the Ministry of Railways, let's follow Hong Aiqing's wishes.

However, I do have a few requests for Hong Aiqing. "

Hong Chengchou bowed and said, "Please give orders, Your Majesty."

Emperor Chongzhen continued: "Does Hong Aiqing know what the Ministry of Railways in my heart, or what the railways of Daming should look like?"

Hong Chengchou bowed and said, "I'm so dull, I can't know what His Majesty means, so I hope His Majesty will express it?"

Emperor Chongzhen said: "From east to west, from south to north, from northeast to southwest, from southeast to northwest, there are railways everywhere!

At the very beginning, I didn't need to ask for speed. From Beijing to Nanjing, I can get there in two days or ten or eight days.

But in the future, this speed should be gradually increased, and it is best to be able to arrive the next day!The same goes for other places.

The railway is like the blood vessels dissected by those guys from the medical school. The railway is my Ming's blood vessel!

Whether it's transporting goods, or people traveling, or transporting soldiers and military supplies, the speed is not comparable to that of a horse-drawn carriage, does Hong Aiqing think so? "

Hong Chengchou nodded and said: "Your Majesty's words are very true, I also did a test on the road from the capital to Shanhaiguan.

If manpower was used to transport [-] shi of grain and grass from the capital to Shanhaiguan, it would be a waste of nearly half, and a large number of civilian laborers would be used for the war.

If it is transported by rail, the consumption is less than half of the city, and the main consumption is some coal and water, which is indeed much better than that of the characters. "

Emperor Chongzhen nodded and said, "Exactly. Also, I want to hear Hong Aiqing's other views on railways?"

Hong Chengchou thought about it and said: "Your Majesty Qizuo, I originally thought that merchants and common people could take steam locomotives, but in the end I gave up this idea. It is better to allow the post station to use railways to transport goods instead."

Emperor Chongzhen asked: "Does Hong Aiqing refer to the goods of the merchants?"

Hong Chengchou nodded and said: "That's right, merchants now mostly transport goods through civilian post stations, and even hire bodyguards to transport large quantities of goods.

If it is changed to railway transportation and some of their fees are collected, the cost of merchants can be reduced, and at the same time, the post station and the Ministry of Railways can earn more income. "

Emperor Chongzhen nodded and said: "Well, Hong Aiqing can just figure it out, think about how to charge and so on, and then report it to me.

However, just now Hong Aiqing said that merchants still need to hire bodyguards to deliver goods?Could it be that the road is uneven or something? "

Hong Chengchou hesitated and said: "The road is quite peaceful, at least it is much better than the Tianqi years, but there are still a lot of strong men who want to do some business without money, so most of the merchants will hire bodyguards for safety. .”

Emperor Chongzhen said: "Then Hong Aiqing is not worried that someone will put their ideas on the railway?"

Hong Chengchou shook his head and said, "Your Majesty Qizuo, the people of the world don't know much about railways, but no matter who they are, they don't have the guts to put their minds on railways."

Indeed, no one would dare. The reputation of Jinyiwei and Dongxichang can almost stop children from crying at night. Even if the head of the hilltop is out of his mind, he will not have the courage to build a railway.

Emperor Chongzhen nodded, and turned the topic to another direction: "Hong Aiqing can also think about it, and look at the issue of railway transportation in the future."

ps: Today, I sacrificed a book "Projection of the Heavens" by a big guy, a work of a good friend Tugou.

Chapter 599 The Real Eternal First Benevolent Government

The railway is a good thing. Whether it is transporting people, goods, or troops, it is faster than riding a horse-the railway itself can transport horses, and even tanks!

Of course, the way Emperor Chongzhen traveled was a bit inexplicable, and he still hasn't figured out why and how he traveled, so he didn't have time to get a good thing like an arsenal and a brain.

Apart from the incompletely nonsensical versions of the tutorials from the traverser training base that filled his mind, there was nothing left.

Therefore, there are no tanks, no Gatling who is blazing blue, and no fucking historical knowledge.

However, no matter how naive Emperor Chongzhen was, he also knew the role of railways. Didn’t the later dynasties always talk about three horizontal and three vertical arteries?

Don't there always be two time periods every year, where you can see soldiers going back and forth on the train?

Occasionally, you can still see good things like those tanks with gun barrels raised, and occasionally you can even see some big killers...

If the railway is not a good thing, why do later generations increase the speed and increase the speed again? They always mention the [-] km/h high-speed rail and are still thinking about speeding up?

Although the current Ming Dynasty does not have those tanks and big killers, it has cavalry and horses, and these things and food can be transported by railway, which is very important!

Cavalry is the heavy tank of this era!

As for transporting people, Daming is different from later generations.

Although later generations also have household registration and temporary residence permits, as long as you have the ID card of the flower grower, you can go to any province or city in the land of China except Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan.

Daming can't do it, even if he has a household registration of Daming - there must be a guide.

Road guides are more brutal than things like temporary residence permits and passports—without guides, no matter how awesome you are, you can't get out of the state capital you are in.

Of course, except for scholars, because studying requires traveling and going out to pretend to be aggressive, so naturally you can't be bound by Lu Yin.

In addition to not needing guides, scholars in Ming Dynasty can even go out with swords - try another commoner?

Of course, Emperor Chongzhen has no plans to abolish the guide system, so naturally it is impossible to have the kind of grand scene during the Spring Festival travel in later generations.

According to the current national conditions of Ming Dynasty, the only ones who can take the train are those businessmen who can get the guide without bad money, and the rest are people in the civil and military systems of the government and the military. There are also those scholars who have achieved fame.

And as time goes forward a little bit, the sociology that Emperor Chongzhen started again will definitely get better and better, and then there will be more and more scholars, and naturally more and more people who can get the title of scholar many.

Even juren will become worthless in the future.

It seems that there is nothing wrong with starting the pilot passenger transport business from these people?

Hong Chengchou obviously understood this, and immediately bowed and said, "I will discuss this matter with my colleagues before reporting it to Your Majesty."

Emperor Chongzhen nodded, and continued: "In addition, Hong Aiqing thinks how about recruiting some Ming people to build the railway?"

Fuck!The emperor is crazy!
