After listening to Liu Jin¡¯s words, Emperor Hongzhi also smiled and nodded.
There is finally an overall plan for all aspects of the railway. With the policy proposed by Liu Jin, there is no need to waste too much thought on all aspects of the railway in the future.
Look at the scenery outside. At this time, the train has completely left the confines of the capital city and is traveling on the endless wilderness. The land is golden and villages are scattered everywhere. In the sky, wild geese are flying south. The sky is clear and far away. The undulating mountains gradually become blurry in the field of vision.
Listen to the whistles of the nearby trains, and take a sip of ginseng tea. You can actually enjoy this while traveling far away.
¡°It¡¯s really exciting. If one day, every province in Ming Dynasty can be connected by train, I will definitely take the train and go to each province in person to take a look and see the magnificent rivers and mountains of Ming Dynasty.¡±
Emperor Hongzhi couldn't help but sigh like this.
As the supreme ruler of the Ming Empire, as the emperor, although he has control over the world, he is also tightly bound to this three-acre land in the capital.
The farthest place Emperor Hongzhi has ever been to in his life is Tianjin. Apart from that, it has never even left Beizhili. He really wants to be able to visit various places one day.
¡°But he is the emperor, so naturally he cannot leave just because he wants to.
But with this railway, it is different. In the future, as long as the railway extends, commuting will become extremely easy. Traveling far away will no longer be a very hard task. You can leisurely enjoy the scenery outside the window on the train.
Therefore, Emperor Hongzhi also came up with the idea of ????going to various places in the Ming Dynasty to see the great rivers and mountains of the Ming Dynasty.
"Your Majesty, your wish can certainly come true."
When Liu Jin heard this, he quickly smiled and said: "Our Ming Dynasty has a strong national power, affluent people, and railways are a good thing for the country and the people. Everyone must be very keen to invest in building railways."
"I believe that it won't take many years for our Ming Dynasty's railways to be spread across every province. By then, all people in the world will be blessed by Your Majesty. From now on, it will be easy to travel far away."
¡°Haha, I¡¯m also looking forward to that day very much.¡±
When Emperor Hongzhi heard this, he immediately laughed happily.
"Liu Jin, do you have any good opinions on the route of our Ming Dynasty railway construction?"
?Then Emperor Hongzhi thought for a while and asked again.
"Your Majesty, gentlemen~"
¡°The Ming Dynasty is very large in the north, south, and east and west, and the differences between regions are also very obvious. There are mostly plains in the east, and mountains and plateaus in the central and western parts.¡±
¡°In terms of development in all aspects, the differences are also very obvious. The east and south are obviously better than the west, southwest, and northwest.¡±
¡°So when planning railway routes, we must fully consider these factors, and at the same time, we must also take into account many factors such as the consolidation of national territory.¡±
"The most suitable railway route planning for our Ming Dynasty should be at least six vertical and five horizontal lines~"
Liu Jin thought about the railway routes of later generations, combined with the current territory of the Ming Dynasty, and drew a line on the huge territory of the Ming Dynasty.
"Six vertical and five horizontal?"
When everyone heard this, they all looked at the map.
"Why is there a railway line in the northernmost part?"
Zhang Mao looked at the northernmost east-west line and said, this east-west line is basically along the most important east-west railway trunk line for polar bears in later generations, that is, the railway line that crosses the vast Siberian region.
"This far north is a cold area with freezing weather and freezing temperatures. Moreover, there are basically no Han people at present. They are all Tungus savages who live on raw materials and drink blood."
"But my descendants of the Ming Dynasty are constantly multiplying, and the population will definitely increase in the future, and they will gradually develop towards this vast area, and a railway that runs from east to west will definitely drive the development of this vast area. "
"In this vast area, there are countless resources. The forest resources alone are enough for future generations to cut down for countless years."
"Of course, this is all for the future. Our generation definitely does not need to build this railway line. When future generations develop here, they have the final say whether to repair it or not."
Liu Jin smiled and replied.
The polar bears of later generations relied on the resources of this vast land to sustain themselves. Now that this land belongs to the Ming Dynasty, the descendants of the Ming Dynasty people can rest on it and rest on their laurels.
&n"Further south is the second east-west line, which is currently the most important. It starts from the Beijing-Tianjin area, passes through Shanxi, Shaanxi, and Ganshu to the Western Regions, then runs through the Western Regions to the Hezhong area, bypasses the Caspian Sea, and builds to the South Forget it."
"If this line can be built, our Ming Dynasty's control over the Western Regions, Hezhong, and Nanyun Province will become unprecedentedly powerful, and it will also drive the exchanges between the East and the West. The Western Regions, Hezhong, and Nanyun Provinces will Cattle, sheep and horses can be continuously transported to the Central Plains region, providing enough meat for the strong bodies of our Chinese people."
After talking about the north-south line, Liu Jin began to talk endlessly about the planning of the east-west line. It was basically similar to that of later generations, but now the territory of the Ming Dynasty is really too big, and it has been extended and expanded to the west.
