Prince of Chaos

Chapter 700 Feng Shui takes turns

Beijing City.

Compared with the Beijing city five years ago, today's Beijing city has undergone earth-shaking changes.

And the most intuitive change is the construction of the Beijing-West Railway.

The construction of this railway can be described as bumpy.

Although the project was approved for construction early, and Zhu Changluo also gave great support and help, but in the actual experiment process, problems still occurred frequently.

After all, Zhu Changluo doesn't understand the principle of railway construction. Although in his memory before crossing, he has also taken the rattling green leather train and the fast-moving high-speed train, but how should the railway be built and how should the train be? Design, for Zhu Changluo, is still a big blank question.

Zhu Changluo still couldn't give Wang Watt and the others any practical advice, and could only rely on constant trial and error experiments to find the best method.

Therefore, in these years, the Beijing-West Railway has been advancing in the ups and downs.

Originally, Zhu Changluo was complacent and thought that the railway could be completed and opened to traffic in one to two years at most, but it turned out that six or seven years had passed by the time it was actually opened to traffic.

Looking back at the past six or seven years, Zhu Changluo was also full of emotions. He really didn't expect that what was so easy in later generations would be so twists and turns and so difficult in Daming hundreds of years ago.

It seems that climbing the technology tree is really very difficult. Without enough accumulation, it is wishful thinking to climb to the top!
It is also fortunate that Zhu Changluo is the prince of a country and has the power of regent like an emperor. Otherwise, Zhu Changluo would not have spent dozens of years trying to complete such a big project, and it would be a dream come true!
However, Zhu Changluo's identity and status gave Zhu Changluo a lot of convenience. He could use the power in his hands to change the rules and win over talents. On some key issues, Zhu Changluo still mobilized the power belonging to the imperial power and opened an Enke. Summon capable people from all over the world to serve him.

And this is also Zhu Changluo's greatest reliance, he can always use the power in his hands to realize his ideals and ambitions, and this is also his greatest help after time travel.

"Prince, do you think this rail car that doesn't need to be dragged by horses and oxen is really so magical? It's a miracle!"

Emperor Wanli sat in a luxurious carriage and looked at the scenery flying upside down behind the window, feeling filled with emotion. This was the tenth time that Emperor Wanli took the train between the capital and Xishan Huangzhuang this month.

Zhu Changluo sat opposite Emperor Wanli, and he said with a smile: "Father, this is all human power and has nothing to do with gods. Without Wang Watt's whimsical ideas, the rail car would not be as fast as it is today."

"Of course, these are also the great grace of the father. Without the enlightened support of the father, Wang Watt and other craftsmen would not be able to display their talents and create such an incredible fetish!"

Emperor Wanli smiled happily: "That's good. I am such an emperor."

Zhu Changluo looked at Emperor Wanli's happy smile, and he was also in a happy mood.

Although the speed of this steam train is less than [-] kilometers per hour when converted to the speed of trains in later generations, this is already very remarkable.

Moreover, as long as this kind of steam train has coal to provide it with a steady stream of power, it can move forward tirelessly. Give it a day and a night, and it can run two thousand miles away.

This is no less than a major technological breakthrough for a rocket to land on the moon in ancient times when communication basically relied on shouting and transportation basically relied on walking!

"In the future, if this railway can be laid between the chief secretaries of the Ming Dynasty and its prefectures and counties, the Ming Dynasty will be able to complete a prosperous age in the true sense. Compared with the Ming Dynasty, it pales in comparison."

"After thousands of years and generations to come, the name of the father will definitely become a sage king who surpasses Yao and Shun! He will become a peerless sage king who illuminates the past and present of China!"

Zhu Changluo cheerfully flattered Emperor Wanli again. After listening to Zhu Changluo's words, Emperor Wanli's face was full of wrinkles.

How can an emperor not want to be a Mingjun? Even if he is as brutal as the first emperor, he still thinks in his heart whether his actions are in line with the Mingjun model.

It is a pity that in the moral concept of Confucianism, a hero like the first emperor who does not cherish the power of the people and does not rest with the people is still a tyrannical king who has been cast aside for thousands of years.

Of course, this is not the narrowness of Confucianism, it is precisely the shining point of Confucianism.

If there is no Confucianism that has been earnestly persuading the monarch to rest with the people and to be a sage monarch, God knows what the land of China will be like after the Qin and Han Dynasties.

Therefore, when future generations look at Confucianism, they must not negate the achievements of Confucianism just because of a few alarmist words and a few nonsensical books.

The reason why Confucianism can become the prominent school of governing the world, in the final analysis, it still has merits.

It's just that during this process, there are too many selfish people and too many people who have crooked ideas, so they recite the scriptures of Confucius and Mencius in a crooked way.

But then again, even so, even if they are people with bad intentions, when they educate their offspring, their mentality is still the Confucian dogma of benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom and faith. I haven't heard of anyone who educates their offspring. Specialized in teaching crooked ways.

It can be seen from this that Confucianism's enlightenment is really deep-rooted. Even the most treacherous and evil people will still abide by the most basic moral concepts on the issue of education.

Emperor Wanli said: "I really hope that I can see that day come."

After the emotion was over, Emperor Wanli drank half a bottle of sparkling water.

Zhu Changluo said: "Father will see that day. I have ordered the Ministry of Industry to start exploring the railway planning on the Nine Sides. After the railway planning along the Nine Sides is completed, I will call the cabinet and the Military Aircraft Department to study together. Regarding the railway planning of the two Beijings and the 50 provinces of Ming Dynasty, it will be customized as the basic national policy of Ming Dynasty for the next [-] years."

"When all these plans are completed, my Ming Dynasty will not only be able to establish a railway network linking the whole country, but will also be able to connect the world faster and better, making the Ming Dynasty more politically sound and harmonious, and the prosperity will last forever."

Emperor Wanli excitedly said: "Okay, okay, with you managing Daming, I have a hundred hearts! Throughout the ages, this is the only king who can have such good fortune as me. Our father and son will surely become eternal love. model!"

Zhu Changluo said with a smile: "My son is all under the honor of my father."

Emperor Wanli chuckled, and contentedly drank the remaining half bottle of sparkling water.

Emperor Wanli said quietly: "When will I be able to go to Nanjing? Now that the Great Ming Dynasty is resurgent, I also want to go to Nanjing to pay homage to Emperor Taizu Gao before going to Xiaoling Mausoleum, and to comfort his spirit in heaven."

When Zhu Changluo heard what Emperor Wanli said, he smiled embarrassedly.

Regarding the topic of going to Nanjing, Zhu Changluo has been drawing big cakes for Emperor Wanli for more than ten years.

Now Zhu Changluo has also started to grow a mustache, but he hasn't gone to Nanjing yet.

Emperor Wanli's treasured edition of the Jinling Twelve Golden Hairpins album is almost torn apart. Up to now, Emperor Wanli still doesn't know how gentle the girls in the Jiangnan water town are, and he doesn't know how prosperous the Qinhuai River is.

Phrases such as Yanliu Huaqiao are still imaginary on paper, but Emperor Wanli still can't imagine what it really is.

Now, the Ming Dynasty is prosperous and the people are safe, and the Tatars in the north have become more and more peaceful under Zhu Changluo's management over the years. Although there are still sporadic small groups of rebellions, they are no longer serious.

Many unsatisfactory rebellions were wiped out by the local naturalized herdsmen even after waiting for Beijing's instructions.

Now the group of Mongols and other tribes who live in Nine Sides and are attached to the Ming Dynasty are used to a stable and comfortable life. They no longer want to go back to the grassland to drink the cold wind and live Life is precarious.

Therefore, once someone who wants to destroy their current life appears, the hatred they burst out is more intense than the Han people in Ming Dynasty. When fighting those rebellions, they are more brutal than the fully armed Han army!

It's really reached the point where I can't wait to eat my flesh and sleep on my skin.

Every time they saw this group of singing and dancing herdsmen ferociously harvesting their former clansmen with butcher knives, the officers of the Ming Dynasty were all moved by it.

At the same time, these Ming military officers are also more and more in awe of their principal, that is, the Holy Prince of Ming Dynasty—Zhu Changluo!

Because, the scene they are seeing now has been predicted by the Holy Prince long ago.

According to the Dauphin, this is "the fanaticism of converts"!
These prairie people who belonged to Ming Dynasty were more eager to prove their loyalty than any other people in Ming Dynasty, so they raised their butcher knives even more ruthlessly against their former clansmen!

It seems that this is the only way to prove their identity as a citizen of Ming Dynasty.

Zhu Changluo was also happy to hear about this. Although he did not encourage this kind of killing, he never stopped it.

Therefore, during the transformation year after year, Nine Sides became more and more lively and richer, becoming a new land of wealth for Ming Dynasty.

Now more than half of Daming's meat supply comes from Nine Sides, in addition to that, there is also a steady stream of coal and the woolen cloth that is popular in Daming.It can be said that today's northern side of Daming is not only not a confidant of Daming, but also a place of wealth for Daming.

Even Jiangnan and other places, which have always been known for their wealth, can't help but envy the changes in the north.

They couldn't understand why in just 20 years, the mudlegs in the north, which were originally poor, turned into a northern paradise comparable to the prosperous places in the south of the Yangtze River.

Is Feng Shui really starting to take turns?
