The construction of railways is much simpler. You only need to explain it to the craftsmen at the Ministry of Industry and create good standards.
"The Ming Dynasty's iron ore mining and smelting technology was already quite impressive, but due to limitations in transportation and productivity, it was difficult to achieve higher development!"
The steel production in Western countries only increased rapidly after the Industrial Revolution, otherwise it would not be as good as during the Ming and Qing Dynasties.
"In short, just use it to build one that can run from the capital to Liangzhou, and then build another one from Hainan to Liaodong District!"
If everything goes well, when preparing for war next year, the marching time of the army may be shortened from half a month to two days.
For this era, it is undoubtedly dimensionality reduction. The fastest way to transmit information and military information now is nothing more than beacon fire, flying pigeons and the like, and their speed is slower than the marching speed of the Ming army. Your message has not been passed on.
But my army has already arrived, how can we fight?
For example, it would take a day and a half to deliver a message between Liangzhou and Beijing, even if they work very quickly.
No one knows how many horses will be exhausted along the way. If there is bad weather or emergencies, it is still unknown whether this message can be conveyed.
"It's just a pity. If you want to develop things like telegraph now, I'm afraid you have to wait a few years!"
When I was still in school, I thought the principles of these things were very difficult, but if I really had to make them one by one, I found that even though I knew the principles, I didn't understand how they worked.
"This is a mountain of gold that is guarded, but you don't know how to mine gold!"
"Have you heard? His Majesty just went to the Ministry of Industry again, and he had a long talk with the newly transferred man named Zhang Qixin in a small room!"
The emperor's whereabouts are not a secret in this palace. They have been discovered by all these thoughtful ministers long ago.
"Yes, I also heard that when His Majesty came out, he looked happy!"
"Maybe something happened again, and that boy Zhang Qixin got caught!"
There is no doubt that Zhang Qixin is now the star of the entire Ministry of Works, and the Ministry of Works is the most popular department in His Majesty's hands.
According to the normal preparation sequence, the Ministry of Works was the most inconspicuous and the one with the lowest power. During this period, Zhu Gaotian seemed to be living in the Ministry of Works. This made the Minister of the Ministry of Works,
The waiter has a very handsome face.
Even the official minister of the Ministry of Works, who usually didn't even look at him, started to become groveling, nodding and bowing.
There is no way, now His Majesty is preparing for a big project, and these people from the Ministry of Works have all become popular people in front of His Majesty.
Beating a dog also depends on the owner. Look at those eunuchs. They are just talking mouths, but they are able to be received with courtesy by those first- and second-grade officials. Isn't this because they can talk to His Majesty at any time?
?
Moreover, they have recently heard that the financial power that was originally managed by the Ministry of Personnel and the Ministry of Household Affairs seems to be transferred out and returned to the name of the Ministry of Works!
How can they not care about such a big thing?
Perhaps, Emperor Taizu had just divided the powers of the six ministries, and His Majesty may have to carry out major reforms in the central system.
Yes, I seem to have heard some palace maids and eunuchs mention a constitutional monarchy that His Majesty mentioned recently.
Anyway, during this period, some strange words often came out of His Majesty's mouth.
They had better be careful during this time. Although Dalian officials have never been safe, look at the previous batches. The officials in the court are like leeks in the field. Just after one crop is cut away, another one comes.
After all, now they don’t know when they will be cut off by His Majesty.
"His Majesty?"
As soon as Zhu Gaoding entered the imperial study, he saw Yang Shiqi waiting there for a long time.
"Yang Aiqing, why did you come to the imperial study room so early to review the memorial?"
There must be a lot of things to do in the past few days. Why do I see Yang Shiqi looking so idle?
"Your Majesty, Wei Chen has a memorial here. After reading it, Wei Chen couldn't sleep or eat well, so he came here non-stop and asked your Majesty to review it!"
Seeing Zhu Gaotian walking in, Yang Shiqi quickly stood up and took out a blue memorial from the bag on his chest.
"What could possibly make our Yang Dazaifu panic like this?"
"Your Majesty will know after just one look!"
What are you doing? It’s so mysterious!
Zhu Gaoyan took the certificate from Yang Shiqi. What else could make him panic in the Ming Dynasty? The feudal kings were in chaos. Sorry, all the powerful feudal kings are basically gone, or are there still a few who are law-abiding and retiring in the frontiers?
Coupled with the enfeoffment that I have promoted, I am definitely looking forward to a long life for myself as a starter, so that they have enough time to develop their own power. How could I not think about it at this time?
Even if there are a few vassal kings who can't figure it out, given the current situation, Zhu Gaoyan doesn't need to do it himself, the other vassal kings will take care of you in a matter of minutes.
What a joke, you finally met such a monarch who allowed the vassal to develop freely, but you still want to confront him. Isn't this making you feel uncomfortable?
Is it possible that some small country outside wants to invade our Ming territory?
Aren't you anxious to cross out your name in the book of life and death of the Lord of Hell?
Before Zhu Gaoyan opened it, he looked at Yang Shiqi suspiciously, feeling that he seemed to be suppressing a smile.
Specifying is not a good thing!
After reading the excerpt, Zhu Gaoyan said: "!!!"
"WTF?"
"Who suggested it!"
"If I go, he will marry me, but I won't go!"
"And you, Yang Shiqi, why are you laughing?"
When Zhu Gaoyun opened this memorial, he was completely confused, because it said that it was a princess of Silla who wanted to come over to marry him and make peace with the Ming Dynasty!
"Hahaha, in my opinion, it's better to accept this marriage. Your Majesty happens to have no one in the harem, and this Silla princess is worthy of your Majesty..."
As Yang Shiqi spoke, he couldn't help laughing.
He had long heard that the Queen planned to recruit a harem for His Majesty, but His Majesty never agreed, so the matter was not done. Now that the princesses of Silla have sent marriage certificates, this matter may not be that simple.
it's over.
"Okay, okay, why did I say that you, Yang Shiqi, looked malicious just now? It turns out that it was because of this incident that you rushed over in such a hurry. You just want to see my joke, right?"
