    Zhu Houzhao enthusiastically found the person and asked, "Are you ready?"

    "Well, we have specially arranged the train in advance today. Your Majesty, this train has been inspected and there should be no problems. But to prevent it from happening"

    Before the man finished speaking, Zhu Houzhao waved his hand: "What precautions are taken before it happens? You bastard, believe it or not, I will whip you."

    Seeing His Majesty raising his hand to strike, the station master looked stunned. The emperor he imagined should not be like this!

    Fang Jifan said seriously: "Your Majesty, it is important to test the car."

    Zhu Houzhao just put his hands behind his back and said, "How many carriages are attached to this car?"

    "According to the instructions and rules, eight carriages were hung up, with thirty people in each carriage."

    Zhu Houzhao nodded.

    This number is the maximum full load value of a steam train. In the past this number was terrifying. One train could carry 240 people. Such a transport capacity could only be achieved when it was fully loaded.

    But under normal circumstances, steam locomotives running in Beijing are often fully loaded. Not only are they fully loaded, there are even many people on board the train.

    After all there are a lot of people, especially during peak passenger traffic.

    So the train began to struggle at this time. Just hearing the roar, it moved very slowly, a speed of twenty miles per hour was good.

    But even so, this kind of speed is extremely amazing for this era where people basically rely on walking when going out. Ordinary people have long been accustomed to relying on trains to travel. On the one hand, there are a large number of workshops. Many people have become farmers from farmers.  After becoming workers, people gradually began to have a sense of time. On the other hand, although the railways of this era were not very friendly to passengers, they were still very cheap.

    Zhu Houzhao first helped Queen Mother Zhang out.

    Queen Mother Zhang asked doubtfully: "Is this designed by He Ling and Yan Lingthey?"

    Zhu Houzhao said with a smile: "That's right, that's right, Queen Mother, just wait here while I go to test the car first."

    Someone brought a seat to Queen Mother Zhang and served tea.

    Empress Dowager Zhang was not in a hurry. She did not dare to go into this iron knot. She always felt that it was very scary. Although she knew that she was generally safe, she took a sip of tea and was thinking about when her two brothers started to fight.  I'm just thinking about this.

    Thinking of this, she couldn't help but look at Fang Jifan.

    This steam locomotive is said to be closely related to the emperor and his successor. The emperor has always disliked his two uncles. Although she tried to persuade her, but when she mentioned these two brothers, the emperor became itchy with hatred. This is very disturbing.  Queen Mother Zhang was worried.

    Thereforethe two brothers building a steam locomotive must have nothing to do with the emperor, socould it be the successor to the vassal?

    In the eyes of Queen Mother Zhang, Fang Jifan was a steady and loyal person. She still remembered that the last time Fang Jifan went to greet her, she mentioned these two uncles and showed her concern, so that Fang Jifan took good care of her.  In the blink of an eye

    Queen Mother Zhang was thinking in confusion, and couldn't help but feel a little worried. Not only were these two brothers incompetent, they were also unreliable.

    But at this moment, Zhu Houzhao had already pulled Fang Jifan into the car. Fang Jifan looked out the window through the glass, and then At the front of the car, the coal shoveler started to burn the boiler, and with a roar, the car began to vibrate.

    As a guinea pig, Fang Jifan was a little nervous, but Zhu Houzhao sat with his legs crossed.

    Immediately afterwards, the vibration became more violent, and the steam locomotive finally started to move. Through the glass window, you could clearly see that things outside the window began to move backwards, and then the steam locomotive began to run wildly.

    Fang Jifan didn¡¯t have much awareness of this.

    But at this moment, Zhu Houzhao suddenly became energetic: "This energy is not small, Lao Fang This energy is not small."

    Suddenly his eyes lit up, he was indeed an expert, and he knew the difference just by feeling it.

    Along the railway track, the steam locomotive is still running wildly, seemingly full of power.

    On the locomotive, thick smoke billowed out of the chimney.

    The steam locomotive with eight carriages began to move faster and faster, so that the vibrations in the carriages became more and more obvious.

    Fang Jifan looked at the scenery passing by faster and faster outside, and felt that it was normal.

    Zhu Houzhao started to dance: "Quick, so fast. Lao Fang, this is so fast. Have you ever been on such a fast steam car? It's really done, it's done" He rubbed his hands excitedly.

    Fang Jifan felt calm and thought, more than just sitting there,Well, when those merchants see business opportunities, will they still refuse to invest money?  The same railway track, running a steam locomotive, can double the transport capacity, or double the speed. This is a pot of coal with twice the goods and people. In this way the future railway operation will be truly profitable.  , Don¡¯t worry if they don¡¯t invest money, Lao Fang The future of Ming Dynasty¡¯s railway construction is promising.  "

    Liu Jin listened to Zhu Houzhao's instructions, quickly prepared a fast horse himself, and went to the exchange like crazy.

    For Zhu Houzhao, a huge prospect has appeared before his eyes.

    In the past, what was the purpose of planning these railways and asking for money?  Isn¡¯t it just thatmany people think that the return of payment for railway construction is too slow and the profit is not enough?

    But once this situation changes, it will mean countless people will start to be optimistic about the railway.

    ¡°And thisis truly a major event that benefits the country and the people.

    "Mother, I can't wait any longer. I want to go to the exchange in person." Zhu Houzhao said anxiously: "I want to seewhether it is as expected by Lao Fang. If soI can sit back and relax. Mother knows  I don¡¯t know, this is more beneficial than if I trained one hundred thousand elite soldiers.¡±
