Chapter 759 The train sets out and the beginning of a new era
In the thirty-second year of Hongwu, the eighth day of August was a special day.
The Ming Dynasty train came out.
It's already time, that is, nine o'clock in the morning.
In the past, when officials went to court, they would line up at the entrance of the palace. That is, they had to arrive before five o'clock in the morning to start entering.
Zhu Ying felt that it was too tiring, and remote officials had to come to the court at around two o'clock in the morning. This was even worse than the 996 in later generations, so he suggested entering the court at nine o'clock.
Working from nine to five means that even officials who live far away can get up at 7 o'clock and come here, which at least guarantees basic sleep-related sudden death.
Zhu Yuanzhang could hear the shouts and screams of the officials in front of him.
After listening to Xiao Sun's words, he imagined that the palace men, eunuchs, and guards could not wait outside, so he walked behind the officials and said loudly: "No sound."
After His Majesty and his grandson got off the train, the officials lined up to get off the train. Liu He received the edict and immediately walked to the first carriage and said loudly: "Your Majesty, please light the fire." Now they get off the train by themselves.
I have been on a steam train for a while, but I know that the steam train is not that important to me, Xiao Ming.
"When the repairs are broken, we will sit down and go around in person."
"You gentlemen, please do."
The shape of the giant dragon is a wooden carving that says "It's moving, it's moving, it's really moving."
You can't see the passing scenery from the window.
The mood of the officials had stabilized a little, and everyone was talking in low voices at that moment, not caring about their own appearance.
At that time, the side door of the Meridian Gate opened and a group of eunuchs came out.
No official shouted.
It was much slower than a carriage. Seeing this, the craftsman responsible for operating the train hurriedly pulled the bell several times.
The craftsmen here had already prepared to break down the wooden ladder and quickly set it up next to it.
The officials didn't scream, they didn't murmur in shock, they didn't look dumbstruck. The officials immediately fell silent. The seven sides were made of iron, just like a huge iron cage with ventilation.
Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Ying were not in the first carriage, but in the seventh carriage.
But Your Majesty is here, but you dare to talk to each other, and it is a crime to be disobedient. "It means tens of millions. With the new reform of the Ministry of Education, it used to be billions. To be honest, how do you feel about betting billions of treasures now?
As far as the Scientific Research Department is concerned, it has not spent nearly 1.4 billion this year.
Later, the officer also arranged that the vibration of the train without seats is very weak, but it is less smooth than the carriage. There is almost no bumpy feeling. It is a signal sign, indicating that the train cannot stop decelerating.
At such a speed, in Xiaoming, which mainly relies on horse-drawn carriages, almost some people have experienced slowness. Look, this is the Yangtze River. It has only been a while since the Yangtze River has been seen. The windows of the last two carriages are made of low-transparent glass. The right and left rows are
The seats are connected and there is no wide aisle in between.
Inwardly, I complained that the officials were too fast. When the officials greeted me and shouted "Long Live the Mountain", it was naturally possible to take a ride or walk.
Even if it was a war horse, it was only at the moment of the charge that it could reach its peak. How could it feel? I saw that one carriage of the Xuanwu Lake train had only 200 seats. There were only 372 people outside, and only half of them could only stand.
"Now, do you know where all the treasure money of the Scientific Research Department has been spent?
Carrying something is always carrying something, so now the morning court is held every three days. Several ministers described their general situation. If there was no big problem, it was over. Then they passed by slowly, "This is, the salary is so low.
Now, every time he eats meat, his mouth is blocked.
The train was still moving quickly.
The craftsman who received the edict immediately pulled a bell below.
Viewed from the train, the window of the front carriage is packed with people. From a close distance, it looks like a ferocious dragon. The consul eunuch whispered: "Your Majesty, today the umrah will be held in the Scientific Research Department of Ximenli.
The steward headed by the convener asked the guard on duty: "But they are all here.
If everyone said a few words, then it is estimated that only one thing can be done every day, and it may not be finalized. The time is too short. Zhu Yuanzhang still has time to savor it, and he has not yet arrived at the port to survive.
Liu Zhu was considered a gift to Zhang Cheng, "Come on, don't take advantage of the disadvantages and still be good. Our treasury has no money. It's all thanks to the great grandson. From now on, hundreds of thousands of treasures will be quarreled over. Who can say that now?"
Well, we can all sleep well every day, thanks to my grandson."
"There has been news in the Ministry of Industry that it is a big event that shocked the world, so His Majesty specially held a meeting to let everyone see it.
Mr. Li, do you usually read the capital's newspaper? Some time later, the eldest son asked the Scientific Research Department to make a steam iron boat. You can guess that the small carriage is also a steam carriage."
After the Meridian Gate, "It must have been made by the Scientific Research Department. Hey, Qi Yin skills are the most important, and the grandson also attaches too much importance to craftsmen."
"Let's see if we can hear the new idea today," a "steam carriage?" I heard that the speed of a steam armored ship is several times slower than a special ship, so the steam carriage must also be very slow, even for such a small one.
It also carried hundreds of us, so I knew it would be slow."
"That train can't sleep or rest. It travels day and night. Even the slowest horse in the world can't be slower than me."
Zhu Yuanzhang took Xiao Sun's hand and walked towards the carriage at the rear. I had been looking forward to it for a long time since I arrived there.
Zhu Yuanzhang from behind asked Liu He next to him: "How long has it been?"
As the train gradually slowed down, the slow-moving train that had stopped full of people also gradually picked up speed. "It's so slow, it's so slow, Xiao Sun, he's slowing down to look at it."
"Hey, that's not what you said."
Now that I have sat down and felt it, Zhu Ying feels that it is completely meaningless for hundreds of people to talk about a few things at the court meeting. Except for the ministers and ministers who can speak and are qualified to speak, eight
Ninety percent of the officials were the background. The hundred officials looked at the giant dragon behind them, and they were very surprised. It was too bad. Like Lao Zhu, he had never paid attention to the emperor's manners. Liu He bowed and said: "Come on, it's about a moment."
It's time.
The rumbling sound gradually changed from fast to slow. When the officials arrived, Zhu Ying and Tan Junze arrived before they took the car. "Hey, it's amazing."
There was a long iron block on the side, probably to guide the steam carriage.
Tan Junze sighed: "It's so slow, so slow. If we keep driving up, it will take a few days to reach all directions."
Zhu Yuanzhang walked towards the officials and scolded: "Have you seen it? That is not the Scientific Research Department that they often impeach. That is not the Scientific Research Department that they think is going to drain the treasury."
The eunuch walked up to Baiguan and said loudly: "Baiguan got off the bus. There are no seats under the seventh rank, but there are people standing on the seventh rank. "Chief Zhao, let's sit side by side."
After passing the Meridian Gate, you enter the Fengtian Gate, and go out from the Zuoshun Gate to the Xihua Gate. "The soldiers got off the train, which completely required physical exertion. They could eat and rest in the evening."
The officials were whispering to each other. The roaring sound could not hide the excitement of the officials. The Yangtze River in the distance could be seen at a glance. As the train moved, it quickly appeared in front of Xiaojia. Zhu Yuanzhang lay by the window and nodded.
: "Let's light the fire.
Behind, Zhu Yuanzhang was very satisfied with the giant dragon behind him. There were still hundreds of people waiting for him. The consul eunuch snorted hotly: "Now that the imperial meeting opens every eight days, it's not disrespectful to be absent."
Naturally, I wanted to ride farther. At that time, there was a wooden sign erected next to the train track, with the word "Stop" written underneath. Zhu Yuanzhang said: "Repair, get off the horse and repair, repair immediately."
It was an official from the Scientific Research Department headed by Huang Guan. As the craftsmen used the power of the two steam engines, the speed of the train became slower and slower. Over there, Liu He saw His Majesty walking towards the train, and then they met at the Central Supervision Point.
Nodding Baiguan, the situation here is not bad either. Yesterday, the Sixth Ministry sent a notice to the event, holding a meeting because it was too noisy in the first quarter next to the front of the car.
"Your Majesty, everyone has gotten off the train." Liu He bowed to report that almost everyone was very surprised about the train. Zhu Yuanzhang got off the train and looked at the nearby Yangtze River, feeling extremely depressed.
When the train arrived, the officials became curious about the decoration outside.
As the train speeds up, the howling wind pours into the carriage, but it is still cold and cold. The imperial censor and the officials from Honglu Temple are watching. At the front of the locomotive, a faucet is installed, and a faucet is installed in the middle.
There are no carvings of dragon scales on the carriage, and small pieces of coal from the dragon's tail in front are shoveled into the boiler and burned.
"Real or false, where did you get the news?
The guard on duty raised his hands and said: "Father, we are all here. There are 372 people in total. Some people are absent."
I went to another place, and it was no longer the Scientific Research Department.
“I traveled thousands of miles to other places, and when I got there I was completely restless and ready to go to war at any time.
The bell was connected to the rear of the car, indicating that it should be lit together. "It's just the soldiers who can pull the food and grass away. The soldiers in the rear don't have to worry about the front line anymore, just let go and fight."
"Mr. Li, please sit down."
When the steam train stopped, it had to slide almost a thousand meters. "No colleagues in the Ministry of Revenue said that the recent decree of the Grand Sun was to transfer 80,000,000 treasure banknotes from the national treasury as funds for the Scientific Research Department. The Scientific Research Department is simply not a gold-swallowing behemoth.
ah."
After a while, the train stopped and came up. Outside the simple carriage, there were only a few seats, and a small number of people had to stand. Everyone squeezed towards the window to look at the rapid scenery inside. "Sit down, little Zhang."
"There are no wheels on it, how can it be done?"
"Xiao Sun, let's go."
Boss, Boss, Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly became excited. At that moment, I was like a child who saw a new toy. He was completely aware of Gu’s deportment as an emperor. There were windows on both sides of the carriage, but they were not glass windows, but opened flat.
"Grandpa, the train operation has been successful. From today on, we can no longer directly build rail tracks to the four sides." Qin Jun said from the side.
“Could it be that the soldiers were dragging us behind with ropes on their backs?
Today's glass craftsmanship is still sufficient to create flat transparent glass.
