It took several months to spread the tracks from Heishangou to the surrounding capital... If the experiment is really successful, even these powerful people can find ways to directly spread the tracks to the city gate, or even spread them into the city!

At this moment, with a freight carriage reaching the station, the second and third Huoyun carriage arrive at the station...

In a short time, hundreds of thousands of kilograms of coal were transported in just a small test!

At this moment, everyone was moved by the scene in front of them, and the eyes of those participating in the plan were lit. They all saw countless business opportunities from it.

"Road? With the road, a carriage can transport more than 100,000 kilograms of coal? How is this possible!"

When the emperor heard the report, he looked like I had little knowledge, so don’t lie to me.

"Your Majesty, this is true!" Li Zhongxiao smiled and said, "The so-called road is to use hardwood and stones to lay tracks on the ground. The carriage is driving all the way through the tracks, very stable and has little resistance... There are more goods to pull!

If the emperor doesn’t believe it, just go and see it with your own eyes!”

"Oh, could this be the so-called car-to-track... It's just made of wood. Can this be strong?" The Emperor of Chu was also curious.

Now Yang Hou can always make some good things. Last time he went to see the four-wheeled carriage, he was really good. Unexpectedly, Zheng Xiaoming got out the carriage so quickly.

"I remember that the wheel has been around for a long time, and even the stone slabs can leave deep ruts. How long can this wooden board last?"

"Your Majesty, the carriage does not drive on the wooden board, but uses wooden boards to form ruts, allowing the carriage to drive from the ruts.

Below the rut, there was actually a road made of cinder clay, which was soft and not afraid of crushing, and it was convenient to maintain. In short, the emperor would know at a glance...

I heard that the Xiayang Gong family is still planning to open a company and join forces with each company to build a road from Heishangou to the capital.

It is said that what was originally built is only experimental, but the next step is to build it!

It is said that in the future, the road from the border to the capital will be built, and it will be much easier to transport food, grass, and supplies in the future!"

The emperor was slightly stunned when he heard this, and as he became solemn, he suddenly thought of the great significance of building such a road...

Why have all dynasties spent so much money to build official road stations?

If the freight transportation between the capital and the border is smooth, how valuable it is...it goes without saying.

There is also canal shipping between the capital and the wealthy places in the south, but continue to go north and head to the border, but there is no water transportation!

However, no one has thought for thousands of years that what Zheng Xiaoming is doing now can really succeed?

At this moment, the emperor was a little unbelievable: "Set up, I want to go out of the city to see..."

The road is not like a car, and it is very easy to drive directly into the royal garden.

But it is not easy for the emperor to leave the palace.

It took several days to quarrel with the imperial cabinet before I could leave the palace and see the road where the carriage was constantly traveling...

As Li Zhongxiao said, the so-called road is paved with cinder gravel and is paved with a thick layer so that it will not be muddy when it rains. On this road, wood is used to make deep ruts, and the wheels only drive in the ruts.

Although it was not as exaggerated as Li Zhongxiao said, four horses could easily pull away tens of thousands of pounds of heavy objects.

This made the emperor's eyes shine: "Good stuff, good stuff!

If we can really build the road leading from the capital to the Jiubian, we may not need the general to be in charge of the Jiubian in the future!"

Of course, it is not that the general of the Nine-sided side is no longer needed, but the general's power will inevitably be greatly reduced!

The reason why there are extremely powerful generals in the nine borders of Great Chu now is that they are too far away from the capital and are inconvenient to contact.

That is why the court granted the general officer great power to let him take charge.

But in this way, the general holding heavy troops is also a potential threat to the security of the court.

Although Da Chu used various systems and civil servants to control logistics, the nine sides had already ensured that they would not rebel.

But if the power and responsibility of the general officer can be weakened, it will be the last one!

Of course, now this kind of thing is just an idea. I don’t know how long it takes to achieve it!

But it is always a possibility, which naturally makes the emperor in a great mood!

Daning Town is already in the extreme north, and the winter here is particularly long, and almost half of the year is in winter.

So it started to snow in September. Although it was still a little earlier, there was nothing strange about Daning Town.

Although the snow was not very big, the row of carriages quickly turned white.

The soldiers sitting in the carriage were crowded together. Although it was not very pleasant, they were much better than being frozen outside. Moreover, they were crowded together, and it seemed that they were even more warm.

Of course, even if Zheng Xiaoming, as the general, was acting like a soldier, he would not be able to really squeeze in a car with a group of soldiers.

In fact, Zheng Xiaoming was sitting alone in a carriage. The carriage he was riding in seemed to have nothing special from the outside, but in fact it was specially processed and it was much more comfortable inside, and there was even a small charcoal furnace in the carriage.

Of course, even outside these carriages, there were still cavalry walking beside them. But now there are no horses, leading the war horses forward.

"Gongxian, the Hu Chushui tribe is ahead! The adults in the tribe have come to greet him!"

Someone reported it outside the carriage.

Zheng Xiaoming smiled a little and said, "Okay! I understand!"

Since taking office, Zheng Xiaoming has spent more than two months to initially rectify the internal affairs of Daning Town. Then he spent more than two months traveling back and forth for thousands of miles, almost traveling through various moats and Tatar tribes under Daning Town.

These tribes are nominally the people of the Ming Dynasty, and many tribal leaders accepted the official positions of the garrison in Da Chu, and were nominally the military households of Da Chu.

However, except for a small number, which are close enough to Daning Town, they are also under the jurisdiction of the imperial court and attack and pay taxes every year, the other surrender to Da Chu is only one name left.

This is the so-called banned tribe!

This time, Zheng Xiaoming even walked almost all these banished tribes. If it weren't for the weather, Zheng Xiaoming even wanted to walk through those scattered tribes.

The so-called Shengfan tribe is a more barbaric and primitive tribe, and even an era of eating raw meat and drinking blood.
