When Hunjun begins to make elixirs

Chapter 423 Train
When everyone entered the station, they saw bricks and stones on the ground, which were polished so smooth that people could be seen in the light. They were surrounded by floor-to-ceiling stained glass windows. There was a giant engraved clock in the middle, but it was not a timekeeper. It was purely a decorative sculpture. The real timepiece was a chronograph. A round clock above.

Although the ministers have never seen the clock, they have compared the inscriptions and omissions. In addition, the twelve hours are marked on it, which is clear at a glance.

"Your Majesty, is this a palace?"

Some ministers were confused by its magnificence and blurted out.

Li Shun smiled mysteriously and led the way to the palace. After passing through a door, a train that combined alchemy and formation like a long dragon stopped quietly on the railway. Open, the dragon scales on both sides turn slightly.

Dugu Xing's distant relative, Dugu Bo, was appointed as the deputy chief designer of the train because of his understanding of the battle system, and his salary was equivalent to that of a fourth-grade official.

The fact that Dugu Bo received this important appointment at the age of sixteen not only showed that Li Shun used talents in an eclectic way, but also confirmed that Li Shun treated the magicians of both countries equally.

"Your Majesty, Dugu Bo, pays homage to the Emperor. Long live the Emperor. Long live the Emperor."

Dugu Bo's figure has not yet fully developed, and he looks a bit short. Even the hair on the corners of his mouth has not yet grown, and his fair face is full of immaturity.

Li Shun nodded slightly and said happily: "Young genius, I heard that you will be driving this thing today?"

When Dugu Bo was praised, he was frightened and said: "Yes."

Li Shun walked past him and patted his shoulder encouragingly: "I'm looking forward to your performance."

Li Shun was the first to board the carriage. The ministers looked at the emperor's behavior with nervous faces. People are afraid of unknown things, especially when entering a strange and small space. Even Ding Ao looked wary.

Li Shun sat in his exclusive seat and opened the curtain on the car window: "My dear friends, what are you waiting for?"

Ding Ao pursed his lips and walked slowly into the carriage with small steps. The decoration inside was very gorgeous, with huanghuali wood seats with gold and silver frames wrapped around them, and precious fur-stitched cushions, surrounded by inlays that could glow on their own. of spiritual beads.

Ding Ao consciously sat in the seat behind Li Shun, and then Hua Jingrong and other cabinet and privy ministers entered one by one. Even though they were used to seeing glory, they were shocked by the extravagance.

Hua Jingrong sat next to Ding Ao and whispered: "Such a cost is too extravagant."

Ding Ao obviously agreed with Hua Ge's words and nodded lightly.

Li Shun heard the discussion between the two in front and felt helpless. Everything was Dugu Bo's design. They speculate on their own intentions without authorization and try their best to cater to them.

Although Li Shun acquiesced, it did not mean that he agreed.

All five carriages were filled with civil and military officials. After asking Li Shun for instructions, Dugu Bo walked into the front of the carriage, activated his magic power, and activated the formation.

The eyes of the dragon-shaped front of the car lit up with bright blue light. Instead of the whining and whirring sounds that Li Shun imagined, only a few imperceptible tinkling sounds were heard, and then only the whirring sound was left. The sound of wind came from the car window.

A beautiful stream of light appears on the car body, which is a trace of the flow of spiritual energy.

"It's moving! Hey! It's moving!" The same exclamation came from every carriage.

Li Shun also felt like he was in another world. He never imagined that he could experience the feeling of riding a train again in this different world. Ding Ao and other court officials were in the same carriage as Li Shun. After experiencing a brief surprise, they quickly regained their composure, but they still couldn't help looking out the window, unable to hide their curiosity.

Li Shun also looked out the window, and saw rows of trees receding away.

As the train pulled out, three thousand six-armed cavalry with golden bodies galloped out on horseback, guarding on both sides along the railway. In this way, a strange scene appeared, with a silver dragon on both sides, followed by countless golden lights.

There was no way, almost all the central ministers of the imperial court were sitting in this car. If someone takes the blame, Dayin will collapse immediately.

Li Shun smiled bitterly when he saw this. For a moment, he didn't know whether the train was going fast or slow.

Of course, this is compared with the six-armed cavalry. Li Shunchu estimated that this first-generation train could reach a speed of 120 kilometers per hour, and it would only take about half an hour from the capital to Longdu Mansion.

The group arrived at Longdu Mansion, and the Governor of Zhili was waiting for a long time, ready to pick them up.

After Li Shun and others got off the bus, the ministers saw the Governor of Zhili and asked, "Is this Longdu Mansion?"

After receiving the affirmative answer, everyone was shocked. It took half an hour to reach Longdu Mansion from the capital. It was so fast and really shocking.

Li Shun said to Ding Ao and Hua Jingrong: "Two of you, one of you is the chief minister of the cabinet and the other is the chief privy councillor. Can you see the value in this?"

Ding Ao admired it and said: "Your Majesty, if this thing can be popularized, Dayin's transportation industry will be comprehensively improved and all industries will prosper. Its contribution is no less than that of the canals built by emperors of all dynasties."

Hua Jingrong also echoed: "Not only that, the imperial court's control over local areas will be strengthened, and the structural reform mentioned by the emperor before will be much smoother."

Li Shun laughed proudly: "Okay! You two are both knowledgeable people, and I feel very comforted. The cabinet will take the lead, and the Privy Council will be responsible for verification. We will first build a main road from north to south."

Ding Ao took a deep breath and said: "Your Majesty, our court has just experienced great chaos, and the world has decided that if roads are to be built, corvees will inevitably be imposed and all the people will be tired. Is it too hasty?"

Hua Jingrong also said: "Yes, from north to south, the terrain is complicated. Roads must be built across mountains and bridges must be built over water. I am afraid that the money in the national treasury cannot support such a large project."

Li Shun was about to wave his hand, and he was so heroic and vigorous, but he was poured cold water on him by the two of them. His face was a bit ugly and he said: "I want to do something, but why is it so difficult? What you are talking about, I I have also considered the issue of Chafu. Now that the war has just ended, a large number of guilty people can be used as corvees. As for the funds, I will have a large amount of income soon. "

Li Shun got a storage bracelet from the old ghost of Dalong Shenzong. In addition to cultivation items, it also contained a large amount of treasure, which Dalong had accumulated in about ten years. Besides, there is also the support of Taizu's treasure.

He not only thought of these aspects, but also had solutions to the resistance of the common people. During the construction of the Jinglong Railway, many people along the way stopped it because they believed that doing so would destroy the geomantic omen. He used magic to defeat magic, and found the formation master from the Shenji Manufacturing Office. From the perspective of Feng Shui formations, he designed several sketches of national railways, and announced that he was going to build a national defense formation, thus blocking the A lot of people say it.

"Big income"

Ding Ao was puzzled: "Your Majesty? Does your Majesty want local businessmen to pay for it?"

He couldn't imagine how much of a blow it would have to Dayin's industry and commerce if the emperor took advantage of it so skillfully. It would be simply devastating.
