Daming: After self-explosive time travel, Lao Zhu's mentality collapsed

Chapter 920 Plans to build more trains
This morning, the Fengyang, loaded with cargo, drove into the Jingxian Railway Station, making the people of Jingxian very excited.

Mr. Li, the magistrate of Jingxian County, led a group of county officials to stand on the platform to greet the train: "Haha, the first train has finally arrived in Jingxian County! This marks that Jingxian County has officially been integrated into the Ming Dynasty's railway network."

"Yes, Lord County Magistrate!" A magistrate said excitedly: "With the train, our supplies can be transported to other places quickly. It is so much more convenient!"

"Not only is the transportation of goods more convenient, we can also take trains to other cities in the future." Another county official said: "Now we don't have to bump the carriage anymore, and it is as comfortable as riding a sedan when going out."

An old man said with a smile: "The train can also transport products and new gadgets from other places, making Jing County a wealthy county. This is all due to the promotion of Prince Chu!"

"Haha, the old man is right!" County Magistrate Li said with a smile: "With the train, the development of our Jing County will be guaranteed. We would like to thank Prince Chu for his kindness!"

"Yes! Long live Prince Chu!" Everyone echoed.

Looking at the cheerful people, Chu Ze felt a burst of joy in his heart.

He knows that railway connectivity is gradually shortening the distance between various places and eliminating differences.

One day, the entire Ming Dynasty will be integrated into one, and the people will share the dividends of development.

Although it is still in its infancy, as long as we actively advance, this great goal will eventually be achieved!

In this way, under Chu Ze's initiative, Ming's railway transportation became increasingly mature and perfect.

Exchanges between various places are more frequent, economic and trade are booming, and people's lives are gradually becoming richer.

Looking at all this, Chu Ze sincerely felt that his efforts to forge ahead were not in vain.

He will continue this great cause of promoting social progress, so that the entire Ming Dynasty will prosper and share the fruits of development!
After the railway network in Fengyang and surrounding counties was initially formed, more businessmen began to use this fast and convenient transportation method to transport goods to various places for sale or purchase.

In the early morning of this morning, the Jingxian Railway Station was already crowded with businessmen and coachmen dragging large and small parcels.

They were loading carefully packed cartons and bags into the carriage.

"Master Xiao Wang, this time we have to send this batch of fine silk to Fengyang. I heard that a new big market has been opened there, and there are unlimited business opportunities!" A businessman said to his coachman.

The driver wiped the sweat from his head and said with a smile: "Well, with this train going directly to Fengyang, we can get the freight there quickly, unlike before, which had to bump up for several days. This business is going to be big! We can get it there quickly. Hurry up and load the car quickly.”

"I also want to send this batch of pearl shells to Fengyang. The jewelry made by craftsmen there will sell better." Another businessman also said.

"It's a good idea to go to Fengyang." The coachman said: "The craftsmen there are very skilled in making jewelry, and they will definitely sell it for a good price!"

The two businessmen nodded with a smile and told the driver to be careful with the shipment.

At this time, the train conductor shouted: "The cargo has been loaded. Please board the train as soon as possible. We will leave for Fengyang on time."

Businessmen hurriedly packed their luggage and packages and boarded the train.

The carriage was filled with passengers heading to Fengyang, all of them looking relaxed and happy.

Soon, the train made a long whistle and slowly left Jingxian Railway Station.

While the train was traveling, two businessmen sat together and chatted.

"Hey, with this train transportation, it is much easier for us to do business." "Yes, we can ship freight to cities hundreds of miles away in one day. It is so fast."

"If Prince Chu hadn't built this railway, we would still have to ride the oxcart for several days."

"Haha, I am almost bursting with gratitude to Prince Chu! Such a wise king is so rare!"

The two businessmen were talking and laughing, both looking forward to a smooth train journey.

When we arrived in Fengyang, many businessmen had gathered at the train station to welcome the goods.

They checked the goods one by one with Jingxian merchants and shipped them away with smiles on their faces.

"Haha, this batch of high-quality silk is what I came all the way to purchase!" A wealthy businessman said happily.

"I have been waiting for these pearls and shells for a long time. The craftsmen will soon make them into beautiful jewelry." Another businessman also said.

Businessmen in both places were full of praise for train transportation and said that their business would get bigger and bigger.

Chu Ze was very pleased when he heard the people's praise for the new railway.

Zhao Si also said from the side: "Your Majesty, you built railways to connect various places, which has greatly promoted trade and commodity circulation. This kind of 'connecting lines and smoothing financial paths' has won the hearts of the people!"

Chu Ze nodded and said, "Yes, this is just the beginning. When the railway network is further extended and improved, exchanges between various places will become more frequent, and Ming Dynasty's economy will surely become increasingly prosperous."

Chu Ze thought that the gradual improvement of the railway network would surely shorten the distance between various places and facilitate the rapid spread of economy and culture.

By then, Ming Dynasty will surely enter a new era of prosperity and strength!
As a member of the country, I should do my best to contribute to this great cause.

Zhao Si was also thinking secretly: With the prince's mind and foresight, the glorious future of the Ming Empire is already in sight.

The railway will become a lifeline connecting various places, and the prince will surely lead the people of Ming Dynasty to create a peaceful and prosperous era!

With the increasingly frequent trade exchanges between Fengyang and surrounding counties, the original Fengyang freight train has been unable to meet the growing transportation demand.

That day, Chu Ze convened a meeting of several officials to discuss solving the problem of Fengyang's insufficient cargo capacity.

Chu Ze frowned and said, "Everyone, as you can see, with the increase in railway freight volume, the current Fengyang train cannot cope with it."

Mr. Li, Minister of Industry, stood up and said: "I'm reporting to you, during the peak shipping period, the train station is crowded with merchants waiting to load goods, and the scene is very chaotic. I saw it with my own eyes. The last time I went to the train station, there were piles of people on the platform. Full of unloaded goods, the merchants are waiting anxiously, but the loading train has already left, and they can only wait for the next one. It can be seen that the capacity of one train cannot keep up with the demand. "

Chu Ze nodded and said: "That's right. The limited cargo capacity of the innate train has become a bottleneck for our development."

Chu Ze thought to himself that what Mr. Li said was true. During the peak transportation period, the scene at the train station was indeed very chaotic. Merchants could not transport their goods out in time, and at the same time, goods from other counties and cities could not be transported in. This had a direct impact on Fengyang's commercial activities.

The cargo capacity and number of runs of a train can no longer keep up with the growing transportation demand.

Another official echoed: "Your Majesty's analysis is extremely accurate. The insufficient number of trains has seriously restricted Fengyang's commercial development."

This official also understands that insufficient transportation capacity has led to a backlog of goods and has become a bottleneck for development.
