Daming: I, Yang Xian, really govern Yang!

Chapter 111: Your Highness, the Second Prince, think again
"Your Highness, the Second Prince, are you talking about the train tracks?" Yang Xian said.

"What is a track?" Zhu Xi continued to ask.

Yang Xian explained with a smile: "It is a track in the form of a train. It uses sleepers as the track, and the passenger car is a wooden carriage. The front and rear doors open, and there are two small ventilation windows on each side. About 30 people can sit on both sides of the carriage. Six horses A car can travel eight hundred miles a day."

After hearing Yang Xian's words, Zhu Ping stood up immediately with a swoosh.

"really?!"

You must know that the distance from Beijing to Yangzhou is almost [-] miles. In other words, as long as there is such a train, it can be reached in one day.

Yang Xian nodded and said with a smile: "Seriously, and this is just a conservative estimate. If everything goes well, it should not be difficult to travel a thousand miles in a day."

Zhu Xi, who was on the side, heard that his heart was agitated.

He was thinking in his mind, if this train was built all over the country, it would not take off directly.

"Yang Xian, hurry up and teach me how to make this train." Zhu Ming said, full of enthusiasm.

Looking at Zhu Xi's look, Yang Xian knew that this boy had made the problem simple and poured cold water on it.

"It's not difficult to make a train, but the difficulty lies in laying the tracks. Wherever your train wants to go, the tracks have to be laid. I wonder if His Highness the Second Prince has carefully calculated this account."

Mentioned settling accounts.

Zhu Xi recalled the previous scene when he was building asphalt roads in the capital. He had suffered enough in this regard. He was so poor that he even asked Wang Yuemin and Yang Xian to borrow money. Thinking of this, his teeth started to hurt.

"Wherever the train goes, the track has to be laid? This costs a lot of money. Isn't it just for the convenience and speed of people's travel? Isn't it worth it?"

If you really want to be fast, just buy a BMW that travels thousands of miles every day.

However, according to Yang Xian, this so-called train can transport more than 30 people at a time, which is something a BMW cannot compare to.

But just for this point alone, would it not be worthwhile to spend huge sums of money and mobilize people to lay tracks all over the country?

Obviously, Zhu Xi did not really realize the importance of rail trains at this time.

"Your Highness, the Second Prince, do you think that this rail train is just to make it easier for people to come and go?" Yang Xian saw Zhu Ming's expression and knew what he was thinking, so he asked.

Is not it?

"What if I say that this rail train can stabilize the foundation of the Ming Dynasty and make the Ming Dynasty strong forever." Yang Xian said with a smile.

What does this rail train have to do with stabilizing the Ming Dynasty?

Zhu Xi was dumbfounded.

If it were Zhu Yuanzhang, Zhu Biao, or even Zhu Di standing in front of Yang Xian at this moment, Zhu Fan would at least think deeper.

But it was Zhu Ping who stood in front of him.

Yang Xian could only continue to explain: "Your Highness, the Second Prince, think about it. Once this rail train is laid, can it transport food and supplies in addition to people?"

The three armies have not moved, and the food and grass will go first.

The most important thing in ancient wars was food and grass.

Think about it, if tracks were laid from various places to the border of Northland, grain and grass would be sent directly from various places.

Then when the Ming Dynasty goes to war, it will no longer be trapped by food and grass.

What did ancient grain officers fear most? Wasn't it that transporting grain overtime, delaying military flights, and ultimately being dealt with by military law?

With rail trains, this will never happen again.

Zhu Xi slapped himself on the forehead. "My brain can transport people, and it can definitely transport food. Why didn't I think of this?"

Yang Xian glanced at Zhu Xi and thought to himself, there are many things you haven't thought of.

"Your Highness, the Second Prince, you might as well spread your thoughts on transporting people."

"Spread your thoughts?" Zhu Xi looked at Yang Xian and asked doubtfully. "Is there a way to transport people that I didn't expect?"

He thought hard, but still couldn't figure it out.

Yang Xian just wanted to cry after seeing it.

"Your Highness, the Second Prince, you might as well think about it, what would happen if the train was transporting not ordinary people, but elite sergeants of the Ming Dynasty?"

This time, Yang Xian did not wait for the other party to answer, but kept to himself, and then said: "At that time, wherever there is rebellion across the country, will the army be able to go over immediately to quell the rebellion? Is there any need to go to such trouble as now?"

"Also, since trains can transport grain and grass, they can also transport various other materials. In this way, the logistics of our Ming Dynasty's goods will also be accelerated."

"Materials and people can flow quickly and operate, and the economies of various places will follow suit. As long as the economy develops and people have a good life, who will think of rebelling?"

"Your Highness, the Second Prince, you should understand now why I said earlier that this rail train is related to the Ming Dynasty."

After listening to Yang Xian's series of words, Zhu Xi was completely immersed in the beautiful blueprint he had constructed, and even his breathing became rapid involuntarily.

There is only one thought in his mind right now, and that is to build the track!

This thought was even stronger than when I saw the asphalt road.

Although Yang Xian didn't tell the whole story, he didn't deceive Zhu Cang either.

If tracks were really laid all over the country in the Ming Dynasty, then these tracks would be like the chains covering the inside and outside of the Ming Dynasty.

It can indeed stabilize the country.

"Yang Xian, don't worry. When I get back, I will make sure that my father agrees to this. Then you and I will work together to spread the tracks all over the country!" Zhu Ping said loudly, his eyes shining brightly.

From the previous asphalt road incident, Yang Xian could see that Zhu Fang had the potential to become an infrastructure maniac.

There are rail trains to ride around, so Yang Xian won't be lonely this winter.

Many things require repeated practice to get the best results.

For example, how wide should the track be? What length, height and width should be the most appropriate for the carriage? Should there be any distinction between freight and passenger carriages?How many horses and how many carriages are pulled at the same time are most suitable.

How far along the route is it to set up a stop?

and many more.

There are too many things that need to be considered by Yang Xian himself, and then through repeated practice. In this matter, since others have no experience, they cannot give Yang Xian much help.

What Lu Mingyi and the others can do is to maintain the normal operation of Yangzhou's government affairs.

the same moment.

Like Yang Xian, Ma Nanshan, who is also responsible for the construction of a large project, is still listening to Yuelou and listening to small songs at the moment, completely ignoring the project.

At this moment, Ma Nanshan was in a very happy mood, because just now, Miss Qiyue had told him that he only needed 3000 taels of silver to redeem her life.

Then she will follow him, Ma Nanshan, for the rest of her life.

Ma Nanshan felt excited thinking that he would be able to be with the girl Qiyue he longed for in the future.
