Zhu Yuanzhang was reviewing the memorial, but he was always a little absent-minded.
The disagreement with Da Sun made his heart feel like a lump in his throat, and his thoughts were pulled away.
Zhu Yuanzhang's love for his eldest grandson currently ranks first in his heart. Now his eldest grandson is his pet peeve.
Now there are some conflicts, which has always been on Zhu Yuanzhang's mind.
Thinking of this, Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help but turn his head and look back.
There is the wall, but behind the wall is Kunning Palace.
Where is the great grandson now?
Hesitating slightly in his heart, Zhu Yuanzhang stood up.
"Your Majesty." Liu He at the door bowed quickly when he saw His Majesty suddenly coming over.
"Let's go to Kunning Palace to meet the eldest grandson and hold the lantern..."
"I obey the decree."
A hint of joy flashed across Liu He's face, which meant that His Majesty had forgiven His Highness Changsun. This was simply unbelievable in Liu He's opinion. At the same time, he also understood the status of His Majesty Changsun in His Majesty's mind.
Ever since Liu He became the Chief of Ceremonies, he has never seen His Majesty show mercy to anyone.
In Kunning Palace, Zhu Ying was still calculating the possibility of implementing the orbit and analyzing the costs as much as possible.
Including the track laying plan and the simple structure of the track.
At this moment, there was a noise outside the door. Zhu Ying looked up and saw that it was the old man.
"grandfather."
Zhu Ying stood up, and at the moment of surprise, she was moved.
He didn't expect that the old man would come directly at this time.
"We just came to see Da Sun, why are you still writing something at this point?" Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the black and white writing on the table and asked casually.
Zhu Ying paused slightly, hesitated and said: "I didn't write anything, just some experiences of the recent training of the soldiers."
He didn't say anything about the track, he didn't want the old man to worry too much.
After careful study, it turns out that without an industrial foundation, the track consumes too much manpower and material resources.
It's okay to make one, but the huge maintenance costs in the later period will easily bring down the Ming Dynasty.
The track may have to be used as a combat readiness.
Although Zhu Yuanzhang did not see the literal content clearly, he could certainly guess a thing or two.
After sighing slightly, he said: "Big Sun, what we said earlier may have been too much, but the track matter is of great importance and must be discussed in the long term."
When Zhu Ying heard this, she felt bad and replied: "Grandpa, this is my grandson's fault. My grandson said it directly without careful consideration and ignored the risks involved."
.”
"As for the track matter, my grandson will never mention it again in the future."
Zhu Ying gritted her teeth gently and said firmly.
The production of tracks was a gamble for Ming Dynasty.
Today's Ming Dynasty is like a newborn baby. No one knows whether it can withstand this storm.
Since we can't make tracks, we will focus on shipping in the future.
At this point, Zhu Ying also figured it out.
When Zhu Yuanzhang heard that his eldest son had retreated first, relief flashed in his eyes.
"We are very satisfied that the eldest grandson can think this way. Even if the eldest grandson becomes the emperor in the future, he must listen to the advice of his ministers and never act arbitrarily."
Zhu Yuanzhang asked softly.
The eldest grandson is very outstanding, and it is precisely because of his excellence that he is very solipsistic in character.
Such an overly strong character has both disadvantages and advantages.
The advantage is that it will not be interfered by ministers, but the disadvantage is that once a mistake is made, it is very likely to persist to the end.
After hearing what the old man said, Zhu Ying also began to reflect on herself.
From the beginning of the Ming Dynasty to the establishment of frontier forces.
In this process, there is no help from military advisors. Everything is completely controlled, controlled and dispatched by Zhu Ying.
Among the forces of the Qunying Chamber of Commerce, Zhu Ying had a strong belief similar to a personality cult in order to maintain his dominance, which created an extremely authoritarian character.
All matters, big or small, are decided by him.
Relying on the knowledge and insights brought by later generations, the journey has been smoother until now.
No one is perfect. Zhu Ying, who usually seems to have a gentle personality, has been domineering in her bones after going through many ups and downs.
Seeing that Dasun had canceled the track plan, Zhu Yuanzhang did not say much about the pilot construction of the track, and instead chatted with Dasun about sweet potatoes, matchlock guns, and soldiers' training.
Zhu Ying returned to the desk, threw the white paper aside calmly, and then started talking with the old man.
In the study room, Zhu Ying and Zhu Yuanzhang were constantly talking.
At the door, Liu He finally had a smile on his face
"Are you sure you heard it right? Eldest brother and Grandpa Huang had a quarrel?"
In the Chunhe Palace, Zhu Yunwen's eyes showed joy and he emphasized repeatedly to the young eunuch.
"Reporting to Your Highness, when Your Majesty was having dinner at the Huagai Palace, shortly after His Majesty Changsun entered, the sound of His Majesty's thunder and rage was heard. All the eunuchs in the surrounding area heard about this. I am absolutely sure that I heard it correctly."
The little eunuch said firmly.
He was not the only one who heard this. The eunuchs in the surrounding area almost all heard the loud sound at that time.
Even in the Jinshen Hall at the rear, some noises can be heard.
"Okay, you go down first."
"Slave, please leave."
After receiving the news, Zhu Yunwen couldn't wait to go to the back hall. He wanted to tell his mother the news.
Zhu Yunwen, who had no hope at first, suddenly had hope at this moment.
Although we still don’t know what exactly happened, but since it made Grandpa Huang so angry, it was definitely a big deal.
Now that his grandson title has not been revoked, if the emperor is disappointed with his eldest brother, he no longer chooses to reveal his identity.
Maybe in September, my canonization will come as promised.
Although this hope was slim, Zhu Yunwen still saw the possibility.
The eldest brother and the emperor's grandfather had differences, which showed that the relationship between the two was not unbreakable.
Thinking of this, Zhu Yunwen couldn't help but speed up his steps.
However, when he arrived at the apse, Zhu Yunwen was stopped by the eunuch at the door.
"Your Highness, your Majesty is already resting now. Your Majesty has given instructions. If Your Highness wants to talk about His Majesty's anger, just wait until tomorrow to come over."
Seeing His Royal Highness frown, the eunuch quickly spoke first.
Zhu Yunwen was about to scold the eunuch, but he couldn't help but pause when he heard this.
Obviously, my mother already knows about this, but why do you want me to wait until tomorrow to talk about it?
Zhu Yunwen was a little confused.
However, after much hesitation, he suppressed his temper and turned around to leave.
Since my mother already knows, maybe she has other plans.
Of course, Zhu Yunwen had unreserved trust in his mother.
Inside the house, Mrs. Lu naturally heard the movement outside, but had no intention of getting up.
Zhizi Moruomu, Lu had guessed that her son Yunwen might have thoughts after hearing about His Majesty's anger.
"Yunwen, some things are not as simple as you think. How can just one thing offset the longing of not seeing each other for ten years? Back then, your father was also chased and beaten with a stick by His Majesty."
"Even if that is the case, so what. It is still how it should be."
Early the next morning, we went to Fengtian Hall to make an early morning pilgrimage.
Zhu Yuanzhang sat high on the dragon throne. After all the civil and military officials entered the palace, he began to deal with the problems that needed to be solved in the new day.
About half an hour passed, and when many things were discussed, Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly said:
"We have an idea recently, let us discuss it with you all."
The hall suddenly became quiet.
All civil and military officials leaned forward slightly, wanting to hear His Majesty's words clearly. After all, Fengtian Palace was very large. If it was a little noisier, the officials further back would not be able to hear His Majesty's voice in front of them.
"Recently, we have come up with a new idea about the post station. If we open up an official road, set up a track, and run horse-drawn carriages on the track, can we pull more goods?"
"If there are enough, can even the soldiers be mobilized?"
After saying this, Zhu Yuanzhang once again carefully described the possibility of wooden tracks.
After he finished speaking, there was a sudden buzz of discussion in the palace, and all the ministers began to discuss the climate.
There was some confusion in the back row. I didn't hear His Majesty's words clearly, so I asked the officials in the row.
Among the many people talking, there was only one official with a strange look on his face.
He was the official in charge of the Dudu Mansion, the fifth-rank official, Tie Xuan.
Tie Xuan has a resolute temperament and is smart and agile. When he was studying in Imperial College, he was familiar with classics and history and made outstanding achievements. He was selected as a member of the Imperial College and appointed to the Ministry of Rites. He was now transferred to the Governor's Office to judge affairs.
He once tried pending cases and made reasonable judgments immediately. His talents were highly valued by Zhu Yuanzhang, who gave him the title "Key Stone".
Tie Xuan was a native of Nanyang, Henan. His reputation in later generations was due to his refusal to surrender to the Yan King Zhu Di who rebelled and seized the throne during the Jingnan Incident.
He was later sentenced to death.
In later generations, there were many "Tiegong" temples throughout Shandong, all of which worshiped Tiexuan. The people of Jinan even regarded him as a local god or a city god.
After hearing His Majesty's story, Tie Xuan had a strange look on his face.
This is all because when he was a child, he saw the track described by His Majesty in Nanyang Mountain.
That track was still very famous in the small village at that time. It was the childhood memory of many children. However, although everyone found it strange, they didn't think more about its meaning.
Tie Xuan carefully recalled the tracks he had seen when he was a child, and immediately discovered that the structure was very similar to what His Majesty said. It could only be exactly the same.
Both the sleepers and the track wood are exactly the same. It's just that the sleepers have long since rotted away, while the track wood is still very intact.
Tie Xuan did not know at this moment that this section of track in his hometown of Nanyang was the Pre-Qin Railway that shocked the entire archaeological world in later generations.
The railway is one of the greatest inventions in modern history. It has raised the transportation of the entire human race to a very large level.
Even Zhu Ying didn't know that wooden rails had been invented nearly two thousand years ago in the Pre-Qin Dynasty.
After nearly two thousand years, the track wood of the Qin Dynasty is still well preserved after antiseptic treatment, which shows the wisdom of the ancients in the pre-Qin period.
The reason why the sleepers were rotting so badly and not undergoing anti-corrosion treatment was actually intentional by the people of the pre-Qin Dynasty.
Relatively soft sleepers can be closely combined with the very hard rammed roadbed to make the track stable.
This method of orbital construction is unrivaled in efficiency, whether in the Qin Dynasty two thousand years ago or in the Ming Dynasty today.
If you really want to run at full speed day and night, treating the horse as a consumable, it will not be a problem to travel five or six hundred miles a day.
It's just a track carriage, which requires a lot of horses.
After the wars at the end of the Qin Dynasty, the pre-Qin tracks caused great damage. By the Han Dynasty, due to the serious lack of horses, the tracks were naturally abandoned.
Due to the impact of the abandonment of the tracks on traffic, the tracks were gradually dismantled. The wooden texture of the tracks was hard, and many of them were used as beams by nearby people.
As a result, the pre-Qin track disappeared in the long river of history.
At the beginning of the establishment of the Han Dynasty, in order to offset the influence of the Qin Dynasty, some of the achievements of the Qin Dynasty were naturally not mentioned.
After the Han Dynasty unified the world, the people recuperated and recuperated, so there was no need for too many wars. The repair of the track was very expensive and there was an extreme shortage of horses, so there was no need for it.
After Tie Xuan carefully considered it in his mind, he no longer hesitated, walked to the main hall, bowed to Zhu Yuanzhang on the dragon chair and said:
"Your Majesty, I have a report regarding the track."
Zhu Yuanzhang saw that this was a minister he valued more, so he said: "If Dingshi has any ideas, please tell us. This matter of track is just an idea. Dingshi will speak out."
