Chapter 201: Comparable to the Great Wall of the First Emperor
Tracks were invented before trains came out.
As early as the pre-Qin period, there was the emergence of Chi Dao, which is what the so-called cars on the same track means.
However, the trajectory of later generations was on the top, while the trajectory of the pre-Qin period was on the bottom.
The animal-drawn track, as the name suggests, uses horses as the power source to pull the carriages.
"There is no need to think about the rails for the time being. The production of Ming Dynasty fine iron is insufficient now, so we can only make wooden rails first, and then replace them when the production of iron increases in the future."
Zhu Ying thought feebly that building railway tracks was simply not feasible in today's Ming Dynasty, but making wooden cabinets was definitely not a big problem.
"If there are wooden rails, the speed of the Ming Dynasty's capital to various places will be greatly improved, especially the transportation of logistics and soldiers, which will feel like a train in later generations."
"The most important thing is that when soldiers enter the vicinity of the battlefield, they can still maintain sufficient physical strength and can immediately go into battle. At least within the territory of the Ming Dynasty, they can quickly mobilize and transfer."
"The logistics can also keep up with it at any time, and there will not be too much loss on the road."
Zhu Ying's eyes began to shine brighter and brighter. Once the animal-powered track was made, for the entire Ming Dynasty, it would simply start spinning.
The benefits are too numerous to imagine.
There is a saying from later generations: If you want to be rich, build roads first.
Once the track is completed, the capital's troops and supplies can reach the border directly in a very short period of time, and the impact on the enemy is simply beyond imagination.
This is just the military aspect, as well as food transshipment and post station documents.
It is equivalent to the establishment of train routes in the Ming Dynasty. This will be an earth-shaking change.
Thinking of this, Zhu Ying could no longer contain her excitement.
He stood up directly and walked towards the door.
"Where is grandpa now? I have something urgent and I need to consult with grandpa immediately." Zhu Ying asked Bingbi eunuch Guo Zhong who was waiting outside the door.
"Reporting to Your Majesty, Your Majesty should be reviewing memorials in the Huagai Hall at the moment."
"Lead the way."
"I obey the order."
"Sure enough, it is so comfortable for our eldest grandson to be in the palace. Otherwise, how could we eat such delicious food every day?"
In the Huagai Palace, Zhu Yuanzhang was enjoying dinner. Now Zhu Ying brought all Zhu Yuanzhang's meals to the cook.
Zhu Ying's group of cooks were all carefully trained and brought with them everywhere. It's not that Ming Dynasty didn't have delicious food, it's just that only those who use it frequently can understand the use of many seasonings.
Zhu Yuanzhang did not reveal his identity earlier, so it was not easy to directly ask Da Sun for help.
Even if you get some seasonings, you still need to keep trying them, and then you will understand each other.
But Zhu Yuanzhang was too embarrassed to speak.
After all, Zhu Yuanzhang was the grandfather, the emperor, and had the power over the world, but he ended up asking his eldest grandson for a cook. He really couldn't bear to face it.
But now that the eldest grandson has entered the palace, the cook has also followed, so it is only natural.
"Liu He, tell me, why is our eldest grandson so capable? I feel like there is nothing we can teach him in any aspect. This makes us feel bad."
Zhu Yuanzhang was eating, with a look of helplessness on his face, and said to Liu He who was waiting beside him.
At this time, Zhu Yuanzhang felt that it was not a good thing for his eldest grandson to be too good, which made Zhu Yuanzhang lose a lot of sense of accomplishment.
When an eight-year-old grandson goes out and comes back, he is an outstanding person that even the royal family cannot cultivate.
Even if you seek guidance from the most famous and famous teachers at the time, you may not be able to come up with some fantastic and unconstrained ideas.
It can only be said that Dasun is the one destined by fate.
If you survive a catastrophe, you will have good fortune in the future. If you survive the disaster at the age of eight, you will become a grandson, and then you will soar into the sky.
"His Royal Highness Changsun is your Majesty's bloodline. He has inherited the excellence of His Majesty, the Queen, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, and is blessed by God. I think it is reasonable for me to think this way."
Liu He said respectfully, but Liu He was so arrogant that he did not follow His Majesty's words this time. Instead, he said from the side that Zhu Ying's excellence came from inheritance.
After hearing this, Zhu Yuanzhang said with a smile: "When you say this, we think it does make sense. The temperament and appearance of the eldest grandson are just like his grandma and father."
"But my character is indeed very similar to mys. She seems lazy at times, but when it comes to getting things done, she has never let us down."
Zhu Yuanzhang was quite happy and said that since his eldest son started reviewing memorials, Zhu Yuanzhang found that his eldest son had never slacked off.
Even though it is so hard to train in the military camp and follow the soldiers, the memorials are always reviewed on time.
From Da Sun's review to the memorial, it is very perfect in many aspects, and even specific implementation plans are given for the memorials submitted by the ministers and workers.
The subtleties are evident.
Just when Zhu Yuanzhang was about to continue to say a few words, the little eunuch outside came over to report.
"His Royal Highness Changsun asks to see you."
Zhu Yuanzhang frowned slightly when he heard this and said: "When our eldest grandson sees us in the future, he doesn't need to report anything, he can just come over."
"I obey the decree."
Zhu Ying came in and saw that the old man was having a meal. He was not polite and sat next to him. He grabbed a meat bun without any politeness and started eating.
Zhu Yuanzhang felt very happy when he saw his eldest son being so 'impolite'.
He couldn't remember how long it had been since he had been so close.
No matter who he is, even the former boss Zhu Biao treats him with respect and abides by royal etiquette.
The only person close to him who could ignore his status as emperor was Empress Ma.
The eldest grandson is different. If he grew up in the palace, it goes without saying. But if the eldest grandson grew up outside, it is completely different.
Earlier, Zhu Yuanzhang was worried that his eldest grandson would not be able to adapt to it, or might be restrained or something.
Finally, through observation, I found that the eldest grandson seemed to be just like his own family. Even when he entered the palace for the first time, apart from being curious about some buildings, it was normal.
"Grandpa, I'm here this time. My grandson has an important matter that he wants to discuss with grandpa." Even after eating a few mouthfuls, Zhu Ying felt like there was something in her stomach. She didn't hesitate and said directly.
"Big deal?" Zhu Yuanzhang was a little surprised.
This was the first time that Da Sun said that he was negotiating on a major matter. Prior to this, other strategies had been discussed, each of which could affect the foundation of the Ming Dynasty. When Da Sun said it from his mouth, it felt like an understatement.
Zhu Ying nodded slightly, and then began to talk about the track and production.
In a sense, the track is not much different from the current Ming Dynasty to the inn system, but the track to production is not as simple as one sentence.
The difficulty of laying track lines within the Ming Dynasty is almost the same as that of Qin Shihuang's construction of the Great Wall.
