    ??

    Liu Jin and Zhu Houzhao hurriedly arrived at the Xincheng Railway Station in the southern suburbs of Beijing in a four-wheeled carriage.

    Well, as for why the train station should be built in the southern suburbs of the new city, everyone knows it, because the land in the southern suburbs of the capital belongs to Liu Jin and Zhu Houzhao. The train station is very effective in boosting the economy of a region.  helpful.

    The railway station is located in the southern suburbs of Beijing, which is naturally very helpful in boosting housing prices, land prices, economy, etc. Liu Jin, who has never made a loss-making business, will naturally not miss this opportunity to increase value.

    Although it is said to be the southern suburbs, in later generations it is still within the third ring road and is considered a core area.

    The design of the train station participated in the design of later high-speed rail stations. The design standards are also quite high, and it is also for the purpose of upgrading the trains in the future.

    Sooner or later, steam trains will be replaced by more advanced electric trains. Keep these in advance. Although the initial investment cost will be higher, it will be beneficial to later reconstruction. In the long run, it is actually a very cost-effective deal.

    "Old Liu, you don't know. Railway construction is a technical job. The railway must be flat, the slope must be very small, and the turns require careful calculation."

    "Hmm~"

    "If it weren't for this professor, this railway might not be repaired until next year."

    Along the way, Zhu Houzhao excitedly boasted to Liu Jin.

    The construction of the Beijing-Tianjin Railway started in the second half of last year. It has been almost a whole year now. Zhu Houzhao runs to the construction site almost every now and then to see the construction of the railway. At the same time, he is also trying to run steam on the completed railway tracks.  locomotive.

    "Also, this steam locomotive has been improved by this professor. Now it is not only faster, but also more stable and powerful."

    ¡°In the past, we could tow a dozen carriages, but now it¡¯s not a problem to tow more than twenty carriages.¡±

    Zhu Houzhao is very proud. The steam train is a big thing. It is the largest machine he has designed and built since he studied machinery. At the same time, because the steam train can carry a large amount of goods and has a huge role, it has become Zhu Houzhao's most proud thing now.  s work.

    "Your Highness is truly amazing. He is indeed the most powerful mechanical designer in the Ming Dynasty!"

    Liu Jin smiled and flattered Zhu Houzhao. This kid needs affirmation now. Of course, flattery must be done in the right place, and it must not be on the horse's leg.

    "Haha, of course, I'm a genius!"

    When Zhu Houzhao heard this, he immediately raised his head proudly.

    Soon, the two of them arrived at the station, and a train was already ready.

    Liu Jin looked at the train in front of him carefully. Except for the ugly front part, the carriages dragged behind were basically the same as the green trains of later generations. However, the people of Ming Dynasty liked red, so the outer shell of the train was painted red.  .

    When you walk into the carriage, the layout inside is similar to that of later generations of trains. There is room for suitcases, side-by-side seats, and a national highway in the middle. There is no difference.

    It¡¯s just that there are some differences in numbering from later generations. Later generations used English letters plus Arabic numerals to number, but in the Ming Dynasty, they used the numbering of the heavenly stems and earthly branches plus numbers.

    For example, the numbering sequence of A1, C2, D3, English letters are now only used in that corner of Europe, and the Ming Dynasty people simply don¡¯t bother to use them.

    ¡°It¡¯s not bad~¡±

    Liu Jin very casually found a seat by the window and sat down, feeling it carefully.

    ???????????????????????????????????????? Well, the chair is a hard wooden chair, and it will definitely be uncomfortable after sitting for a long time.

    ??The windows are the same as those of later generations, using glass windows. Now everyone knows that glass is purely a scam.

    When this thing first came out, Liu Jin blackheartedly speculated the glass at a sky-high price. He not only deceived the people of Ming Dynasty, but also deceived the whole world, causing people all over the world to pay a wave of IQ tax.

    It is not something rare or valuable at all.

    "Woooo~"

    Liu Jin and Zhu Houzhao had just finished the work, and the train started to start. Along with the sound of whistles, billowing black smoke came out and was blown by the wind.

    Liu Jin quickly closed the window. Don't get yourself into a black mess before arriving at the construction site. That would be embarrassing.

    ¡°Kengcha~kengcha~¡±

    Soon, the train started moving, and the train made regular and neat sounds as it walked on the rails.

    &nbsp??Like Liu Jian, Li Dongyang, Xie Qian, Yang Tinghe, etc., if we follow the historical development.

    Because the three elders in the cabinet could not stand Liu Jin's control of government affairs, they wrote letters one after another to offend Liu Jin. In the end, they all resigned and returned home within a few years.

    As for the teacher Zhu Houzhao who became the first assistant, the powerful Yang Tinghe had already returned to his hometown in Sichuan to retire. It is said that he often wrote letters to the princes in the court, hoping that Emperor Hongzhi could again use him as Zhu Houzhao's teacher.  .

    But Emperor Hongzhi was obviously very disappointed with this Yang Tinghe, and Zhu Houzhao was now free to do whatever he wanted. As for the ways of kings and ways of governing a country, if you don't like to learn, don't learn it. Anyway, it doesn't matter.  It was too useful, and more importantly, Zhu Houzhao couldn't learn it at all.

    "The first railway in the Ming Dynasty is also the first railway in the world. A new era is coming, the steam era!"

    Soon, Liu Jin¡¯s thoughts returned to the railway in front of him. Looking at the train moving forward in the billowing black smoke, an era was waving to him.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
