...

There was a circle of people around the carriage, and Fang Xing and Zhu Zhanji stood on the periphery, with a relaxed expression.

"Brother Dehua, once this item is released, it can be used for short-distance freight, which is very useful!"

Zhu Zhanji remembered the canal transportation. With this thing, does the canal transportation still require so many people?

The canal transportation has not yet developed into a behemoth and is relatively easy to change.

Fang Xing smiled: "At present, it is only suitable for short-distance transportation. If you want to have a long distance, you have to wait..."

What are you waiting for?

When science gradually gains a say, otherwise a huge investment like building a railway would never be able to pass.

"Sometimes I would rather see a group of businessmen standing in the court, at least they would choose the most favorable plan and not lack the spirit of adventure."

The officials listened to Zhu Fang explaining the structure and function of the railway tracks and carriages, and gradually showed a reserved look on their faces.

"They probably think it's just a trick. Look, Liu Guan actually wiped his hands with a handkerchief!"

Zhu Zhanji said helplessly: "It's not pragmatic, but good at self-scheming, but it's clumsy to plan the country. People like Xia Yuanji are so rare."

At this time, Jin Zhong understood the situation roughly and said, "Your Majesty, this thing is very useful in docks and mines. It is also useful in many places in the Ministry of War. No matter what it is to transport, with this thing, you can naturally save people and troubles."

All the people present are all humans, so how could they not know the role of this set of rail transit?

But this thing was made by Fang Xing. Do you want everyone to be happy and celebrate?

Get out of here!

Zhu Di pondered: "This item is also of great use in city defense. The personnel who transport materials are fast and transport more."

With this thing in the city defense, how much civilians can be saved? How much time can it be saved?

Zhu Di is Zhu Di. He turned around and asked, "May this thing be built outside the border?"

Fang Xing smiled bitterly and said, "Your Majesty, to build this object, the ground must be flat and solid, and then the manufacturing of railway tracks is not light and expensive. The key is that they are easily destroyed."

Zhu Di remembered the way the railway tracks were fixed just now, and said with a hush: "Yes, unless you are on guard along the line, a small group of enemy troops can destroy it."

Zhu Di felt very keen, but Fang Xing knew that this kind of horse-drawn light rail could only be used on a small scale. If it was spread for hundreds of kilometers, when the big guy came out, it would become a waste of money and food.

Zhu Di was a little disinterested. As an emperor, his eyes were on large scale. Things that could not play a big role in military affairs and could not popularize the entire Ming Dynasty. For him, it was just icing on the cake.

So those descriptions that can shock the king with just one small invention are really hurting people!

Song Li was quite interested and kept asking questions to Zhu Fang.

Of course, the Ministry of Industry is interested. This thing is of great use whether it is a mine or various projects.

Zhu Di walked on the sleeper with his hands behind his back and asked, "Isn't this wood feasible?"

This is asking about the cost, Fang Xing replied: "Your Majesty, yes, but the ground must be solid enough, otherwise the rails will sink over time, resulting in uneven heights and uneven force."

Zhu Di looked into the distance and said, "Yes, there are many trees on the mine. As long as you can pull too much, these are not a problem. Take out the method of making the railway tracks."

Fang Xing blinked at Zhu Zhanji and signaled that it was time for him to come forward.

Zhu Zhanji gritted his teeth and said, "Grandpa Emperor, I have invested a lot of money and food here, and my grandson is poor..."

Zhu Di looked at him angrily. Fang Xing saw that something was wrong and quickly remedyed it: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty and the minister have invested a lot of money in it. If it is given to the Ministry of Works, it will be fine, but there is no money to study other things in the future."

"You two cooperated tacitly, just to say that I was killing chickens to get eggs, and fishing out of the lake."

Zhu Di turned around and looked at the two people who were in a panic and said disdainfully: "Forget it, how much is it? Let's talk to Xia Yuanji yourself."

Fang Xing and Zhu Zhanji looked at each other helplessly. Originally, they wanted Zhu Di to take action to benefit, so that if they didn't do it well, they could make more money.

Xia Yuanji, Xia Laoji...

That's a rooster!

Both of them felt Zhu Di's malicious intentions deeply, and Zhu Zhanji whispered: "Brother Dehua, I'm not convenient to come forward for this matter, so I'll leave it to you."

This excuse is open and upright, the grandson of the Huang, who wants to go to the Ministry of Revenue to bargain with Xia Yuanji like a vegetable dealer?

Fang Xing cheered himself up and said, "It's okay, we are upright. Does Xia Yuanji dare not give him money? Then I will go to his house to eat and live until I get back to eat my old boss."

Having said that, Fang Xing had no idea at all.

At this time, Fang Xing's Allied Forces appeared.

"Xinghe Bo, let's give this method of making carriages and rails to the Ministry of Works!"

Song Li chased after him and did not dare to ask Zhu Zhanji, so he came to Fang Xing.

Fang Xing was worried, and he immediately said with a hint of disgrace when he heard this: "Mr. Song, it's not that Fang didn't give it to me. For these things, the family couldn't get the money. Even the money in Taisun's house was plundered by me. It is said that the women in the backyard of Taisun's mansion had not received monthly money for several months."

You can really arrange it! The ministers who followed behind shook their heads, thinking that if this person went to the Ministry of Revenue to compete with Xia Yuanji for his job, he would probably think that Xia Yuanji would not be his opponent.

Song Li naturally would not believe it. If the crown prince of the Ming Dynasty fell to the point where he could not even pay out his monthly money, Xia Yuanji's head would probably be in danger.

Fang Xing saw Zhu Di go away, and said sincerely: "Mr. Song, you are in the Ministry of Works. You should know the price of making these things. The smoke from Zhu Fang almost never dissipates all year round. How much did you spend?"

Of course Song Li knew, and he tentatively said: "Mr. Xinghe, Lord Xia, have always been in and out, and Song is in a difficult situation!"

Fang Xing instigated: "This matter is related to the future of the Ministry of Works. If there is rail transportation, how much manpower can be saved? How much construction period can be saved? Isn't that all money? So you have to know how to settle the accounts, Lord Song!"

Song Li thought about it, and after staying in the Ministry of Works for a long time, his thinking would become more craftsman-like, so he went to find Xia Yuanji.

Xia Yuanji hadn't thought of this, and was asked by Song Li and his family to be confused.

"I still want money?"

Xia Yuanji said vigilantly: "These three guards need to retire, and recruit soldiers need to pay, and the Ministry of Revenue is poor."

The Ministry of Works is a big money man, and Song Li said bluntly: "Mr. Xia, don't coax me, there are only a few thousand people. You have to think clearly. With the track, how much labor can those projects and mines save? Those are not money? They are back after a walk."

Xia Yuanji looked at Fang Xing in front of him and whispered: "But Xing and Bo asked you to come?"

Song Li said: "Mr. Xia, we can't take things that others have worked hard and spent countless money to get out of nothing, right? It's in vain. Who else is willing to do it in the future?"

Xia Yuanji said angrily: "I know I can't take it for nothing, but how much it cost is not his Fang Dehua touched his mouth? If you don't suppress the price, I won't be able to sleep well at night!"

Song Li knew Xia Yuanji's style very well, so he just made his position clear.

"Mr. Xia, that has nothing to do with me. Anyway, this thing is going to be decided by the Ministry of Works!"
