Several people walked for a long time before Zhu Youjian came to his senses.

I pulled a bunch of useless things, and I didn't discuss why the road and railway were repaired.

Zhu Youjian took out the map again and began to study around the capital.

The first railway, the distance cannot be too far.Manpower, material resources, and financial resources are impossible to keep up.

Finally, he fixed his gaze on one place.

Tianjin Wei.

Tianjin Wei was established after Zhu Di moved the capital. There are three guards and more than 1 soldiers.Tianjin guards the sea route and the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal, and its geographical location is very important.Even in later generations, in many ports.The throughput of Tianjin Port has also been ranked among the top ten.

Although the locations of places like Zhoushan, Shanghai, and Qingdao are very good.But now Tianjin has an advantage that no other place has, that is, it is the closest to the capital.

More than 200 miles of railway, the difficulty and pressure of construction are much smaller.

Zhu Youjian drew a line on the map.

Beijing - Tongzhou - Wuqing - Tianjin

Then he called Fan Jingwen back again, and told him his plans and ideas.

"Your Majesty is wise."

This is wise again?

"Fan Qing, this world is very big. The Frankies and Dutch people in Europa have traveled far across the ocean, and they have come to the coast of our Ming Dynasty in warships. They are entrenched in Taiwan and eyeing Ming Dynasty. The guns and artillery they produce , is far ahead of us. If we don’t think about making progress, I am afraid that one day, they will sail their warships to my Ming’s port and open our gate with cannons. At this time, Daming is in danger.”

"Fan Qing is my chancellor. Right now, Da Ming has reached the point of life and death, and is about to face a major change unseen in a thousand years. Da Ming must keep up with the times, surpass the times, and lead the times!"

"Fan Qing, would you like to accompany me to witness that day come?"

"Minister! Willing!"

Since His Majesty took the throne, it was the first time that he had spoken such heartfelt words to him.His mood was a little surging.

Before Fan Jingwen left, Zhu Youjian gave him a globe.It is intended to let him take a look, the world is very big.

When Fan Jingwen returned to Wenhua Hall with the globe in his hands, the globe in his hand attracted everyone's attention.

Several people gathered around one after another.

"Mr. Zhi, what are you holding?" Bi Ziyan asked curiously.

"Your Majesty said that this object is called a globe."

"Globe? The name is quite new."

"Mr. Zhi, where is Your Majesty going to build this first railway?" Lu Zhenfei asked a question that everyone was curious about.

"From the capital to Tianjin Wei."

After hearing this, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

They are also a little worried that the repair is too long, which will waste people's money and cause turmoil.

"The train made by Wang Zheng is indeed very useful. It only needs to burn coal to go. Just like the disaster relief in Shaanxi last year, if there is such a train, how much manpower and animal power will be saved, how many people on the road will be saved, and how many victims will be saved. .Although the cost of the railway is high, it is a one-time investment. I think it is a waste of money.”

Fan Jingwen's words caused everyone to ponder.The so-called strange and obscene skills are just means used by some people to criticize them.Everyone knows whether a new thing is useful or not, and their ability to accept it is still very strong.These are all attributed to the spread of Western learning to the east during the Wanli period.

They have all read Matteo Ricci's "The Complete Map of Kun Yu and All Nations".Xu Guangqi has a close personal relationship with Matteo Ricci and has jointly translated many works.To a certain extent, the spread of Western learning to the east created the atmosphere for scholar-bureaucrats to learn Western learning.It should be a process of learning, absorbing, and surpassing.When the Mantas entered the customs, everything came to an abrupt end.

Matteo Ricci once said that the Chinese are very knowledgeable and proficient in medicine, natural sciences, mathematics, and astronomy.This country values ​​reading and is very interested in science, but it despises force.

Later, after the British Macartney came to China again, his evaluation of the Qing Dynasty was:

"There has been no improvement, no advance, or rather regress, for at least the last 100 years since the Tatar conquest of Manchuria; while we advance every day in the arts and sciences, they are practically becoming semi-barbaric .”

It was the 58th year of Qianlong.

Macartney also brought Qianlong a unique birthday present.Including microscopes, telescopes, books, flintlock guns, air guns, mortars, industrial machines, European-style swords, European-style clocks, European-style vehicles, European-style ship models, etc.

Doesn't he know that these things are advanced?

They know better than anyone.

The prosperity of Kangxi and Qianlong is just a joke.Sheng was raped by Wan Guolai decades later.

Of course Fan Jingwen doesn't know everything about the future, but Zhu Youjian does.Zhu Youjian let him see the good and bad of things, that's enough!

In the days that followed, the Railway Bureau made intensive preparations.

Zhu Youjian also asked Song Yingxing to allocate some technical personnel familiar with steelmaking to build a steelmaking plant in Tongzhou to supply railway construction.

At the beginning of July, Zhou Kanggeng and Xu Zhi'an, who were repairing the river in Shanxi, came back.

Zhu Youjian summoned Zhou Kanggeng and asked about the repair of the river.I met Li Zicheng again.

This former Yinchuan postman, the sad man with green hat was radiant at this time, his whole body was full of energy, like an unsheathed sword, waiting for the master to use.

In mid-July, the Railway Bureau recruited [-] civilian workers.

The first railway in Ming Dynasty:

Beijing-Tianjin Line.

Work started.

The days seem to calm down all of a sudden.Zhu Cihong grew up day by day and became more and more lovely.

Zhu Youjian handles the memorials in the palace every day, and occasionally goes out of the palace to visit the military academy, the Beijing camp, and the arsenal.

Bi Maokang has fallen into a bottleneck since he developed the Minie rifle. His research direction is the needle-fired breech-loading rifle.Although Zhu Youjian told him clearly that it was difficult.

Sun Yuanhua is trying to improve the material of the cannon, and the improvement of steelmaking technology has given him confidence.His ideal is also very lofty, to create a rear-mounted spiral rifled gun.

Of course, Zhu Youjian would not dampen their enthusiasm, but just asked them to bring as many apprentices as possible while doing research.It also saves technology from being lost in the future, and talents must be re-trained.

For them, Zhu Youjian's policy is to meet all your needs, as long as you settle down to engage in technology.So far, the effect is not bad.Giving money to these craftsmen made him feel comfortable.

At the end of July, Zhu Youjian received an unexpected memorial.

From Wang Zunde, Governor of Guangdong and Guangxi.

In the memorial, first there was a burst of eloquent praise, and after most of the nonsense, it entered the theme.

After reading the memorial, Zhu Youjian put the memorial on the imperial case and began to meditate.

Wang Zunde's memorial was written entirely for one person.

刘香

Ever since Zheng Zhilong got his privateer certificate and went back, the noise was called Huan.He wandered around the nearby waters with his men all day long, rushing forward whenever he saw a smuggling ship.As long as you don't resist, just grab the goods and don't kill people.Later, as soon as his subordinates heard that they were going to go to sea, they were extremely excited.Inland smugglers, pirates, Portugal, Holland, Spain.As long as it is a merchant ship, there is nothing he dare not grab.

Those who were robbed would naturally resist, especially those old brothers who were mainly taken care of by Zheng Zhilong.

Liu Xiang, Yang Liu, Yang Qi, and Zhong Bin all tried to resist.If you rob my merchant ship, I will rob you.

But Zheng Zhilong would not have expected this. Every time a merchant ship goes to sea, there are dozens of warships escorting it, armed like a hedgehog. You say fight, there are fewer people, but the loss is too great and it is not worth it. .

The results were few and far between.

These people were so angry that they cursed in private, would they not be afraid of losing money if they brought so many escort ships to sea for business?

Zheng Zhilong is really not afraid, everything is robbed, what kind of money do you have with him?

Until a person who dared to die appeared.

Li Kuiqi.

Lead an army to invade Kinmen at the end of June!
