- "Your Majesty, I think we should build the north-south line in the east first. Firstly, the areas this line passes through are the most important areas in our Ming Dynasty, heavy taxation and grain production areas. Secondly, the places this line passes through are huge. Some of them are in plain areas, so the cost of construction can be minimal.¡±
On the train, Emperor Hongzhi and many ministers looked at the map and discussed which trunk line should be built first.
"Your Majesty, I think we should first build the east-west main line and build a railway from the capital to Nanyun Province to strengthen our Ming Dynasty's control over the Western Regions, Hezhong, Nanyun and other regions, and at the same time, we can continue to expand westward."
Zhang Mao glanced at Xie Qian, thought for a while and put forward his own opinion.
This railway is very expensive to build, and the highway is not at the same level as it. It is also extremely important to build the main line first.
So it was natural for these ministers to quarrel. The railway is so important and closely related, and everyone has their own ideas.
??For example, Xie Qian is from Zhejiang and his hometown is in Zhejiang. When it comes to building railways, he naturally has to speak for himself in Jiangnan.
If this railway can be built to Zhejiang, it will be very helpful to promote the development of Zhejiang, so he advocated building the eastern main line of Zhejiang first.
But Zhang Mao is different. He is considered a representative of the Xungui Group. The Western Regions, Hezhong, Nanyun and other places were all captured by the Ming army by force.
In these places, a large amount of land, pastures, etc. were awarded to these people in the military. Zhang Mao, the British public, also invested a lot in these places.
He owns a large number of pastures, cotton plantations, grape plantations, wineries, etc. If the east-west trunk line can be built, it will also be very helpful for his investments.
The cattle, sheep and horses raised on the pasture can be quickly transported to the Central Plains, and the cotton, grapes, wine, etc. from the plantations can also be transported back and sold at a very low cost.
This trunk line is too important for the Xungui Group, which has a large amount of investment in the Western Region. Of course, he has to stand up and express his position, and the reason is also very defensible.
Strengthening the empire's control over the Western Regions, Hezhong, Nanyun and other places is a major event designed to ensure the long-term stability of the empire and the security of its borders. Once the railway is connected, it will be very easy and fast for the emperor to dispatch troops and generals, and he can easily Hundreds of thousands of troops were mobilized back and forth, and the consumption of food and grass was almost negligible.
"Your Majesty, I think the middle trunk line should be built first. The eastern trunk line involves coastal areas. There are ship and river transportation in the coastal areas, which is already very convenient. This railway trunk line is just the icing on the cake. "
"But the central route is different. The place it passes through is exactly the central area of ??the Ming Dynasty in the traditional sense, especially the traditional Central Plains area."
"These areas have a large population and have always been the places with the largest number of people migrating out of China. If railways can be built, population migration will be more convenient in the future."
¡°At the same time, these areas are also one of the poorest areas in Ming Dynasty. Building railways can promote the development of these areas.¡±
"Third, it is located in the middle area. Building the middle trunk line first will also be conducive to the formation of the railway network. It will be more convenient to connect the north and south or the east and west."
Liu Jian stood up again and had nothing to say. As a Henan native, he naturally wanted to speak for Henan.
¡°This was the case before when building roads, but Henan was not taken into account first. Now it is the same when building railways, and they actually want to bypass Henan first. This is absolutely unacceptable.
Our country, Henan, has endured a lot of heavy burdens in recent years. A large number of people have migrated to the new land of the Ming Dynasty, but most of these migrations are done on foot.
Although the court took good care of him along the way, Liu Jian still received countless letters of blood and tears. If the railway can be built, it will be much more convenient to go out.
He also gave three reasons in succession, involving immigration, development of the central region, and connecting the east, west, north, and south.
In fact, in the final analysis, it is because Henan is his hometown. In this kind of matter, he must speak for his hometown.
"I think the main line in the south should be built first~"
"The northern region has many plains, and cement roads are enough. However, the southern region has many mountains and hills, and traffic is blocked. If the railway can be built, it will definitely promote the development of the south."
"For example, if we first build a railway from Huguang to Guangdong and Guangxi, or build a railway from Huguang to Jiangsu and Zhejiang, then the food in the Huguang area will be able to supply the needs of the world."
Li Dongyang looked at a few people, and they all spoke for their hometown.If a Hunanese doesn't say a few words, he will definitely be speechless after seeing Jiangdong's father.
"Haha, what you all said makes sense. These lines are very important and must be repaired."
When Emperor Hongzhi saw it, he couldn't help laughing.
" This kind of thing is that Emperor Hongzhi certainly knew what they meant, but he was not angry, but felt happy. It was human nature and reasonable to speak for his hometown. There was nothing to say.
¡°If you speak to people in your hometown, not only will you not be scolded, but it will also be considered a natural thing and you will also be praised.
This is a little different in later generations. The shepherd dogs of later generations always attack their own country when they go abroad, saying that this is not good and that is not good. It is simply rubbish that forgets its ancestors.
I always think of gaining recognition from Westerners through licking, but I don¡¯t know that in their eyes, I¡¯m not even a clown.
Liu Jin also looked at where they were fighting with a smile on his face, and each of them was red-faced. Just like when the Beijing-Tianjin Highway was built and the court decided to overhaul the cement road, they were also arguing.
"It's not just that they are quarreling. If this matter is discussed in the court, the court will become a mess, because officials from various regions will definitely fight to benefit their hometowns.
This is true for building cement roads, but the railways, which cost more, are even more controversial.
Liu Jin can imagine that after today is over and everyone has experienced this train, there will definitely be quarrels in the morning, arguing over which line should be built first.
"Yes, yes, it will be repaired sooner or later, so don't fight. Just repair it slowly one by one, and sooner or later it will be there."
When Liu Jian heard this, he immediately smiled and said: "If the central trunk line is important, it is better to build the central trunk line first."
"What Mr. Liu said is wrong~"
"The eastern trunk line is the most important. It connects the most important areas of the Ming Dynasty. Moreover, the central trunk line can also pass through Fengyang and Nanjing. It will be more convenient for Your Majesty to go to his ancestral homeland in the future."
When Xie Qian heard this, he nodded and said, and then played another card, that is, the Eastern Main Line can pass through Fengyang and Nanjing.
Fengyang is the ancestral home of the old Zhu family, and Nanjing is even more remarkable. The tombs of Comrade Zhu Yuanzhang are all in Nanjing. With the railway, if the emperor wants to visit his hometown, or go to Nanjing to worship his ancestors, then he can Much more convenient.
Hearing Xie Qian¡¯s words, Emperor Hongzhi was slightly moved.
Sacrificing ancestors is a big deal, especially for the royal family. The Xiaoling Mausoleum of Emperor Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang of the Ming Dynasty held three major sacrifices and five minor sacrifices every year. Each time, the emperor would send important nobles and ministers to worship.
In the past, Zhang Mao was specialized in doing this. He often went to Nanjing to pay homage to Xiaoling, where Zhu Yuanzhang and Empress Ma were buried together.
If the railway is built, it will not be very troublesome to travel to Nanjing. Emperor Hongzhi actually wanted to go to Fengyang to see the hometown of Lao Zhu's family, and then go to Nanjing to personally worship his ancestors. By the way, Report your work situation to Comrade Zhu Yuanzhang.
"If we build the East Road trunk line, we must pass through Fengyang and Nanjing~"
Emperor Hongzhi thought about it and said solemnly.
"Your Majesty, this is for sure!"
When Xie Qian heard this, he immediately smiled and said quickly.
"Your Majesty, gentlemen~"
"There's no need to fight over it. All these railways need to be built. With our Ming Dynasty's national strength, there is no problem in building several trunk lines at the same time."
Liu Jin looked at everyone arguing and blushed, smiled and said.
¡°Yes, yes, it¡¯s no problem to build several trunk lines at the same time.¡±
When Zhang Mao heard this, he also said with a smile, and at the same time, he did not forget to give Liu Jin a "you know" look.
¡°You kid, don¡¯t forget that in the Western Region, Hezhong, and Nanyun Province, you also have a large number of pastures and plantations. This artery that runs from east to west must be repaired first.
Liu Jin gave Zhang Mao a reassuring look. This line is so important and must be repaired. The worst we can do is pay for it ourselves. It¡¯s not like we don¡¯t have money anyway.
¡°Okay, okay, there¡¯s no need to argue~¡±
"Let's do this. This year we will first arrange for the listing of the Eastern Main Line and the most important East-West Main Line to raise funds for the construction of railways, and next year we will arrange for the construction of the Central Main Line and the Southern Main Line."
"That's just one or two years later. Sooner or later, all places will be connected to railways and trains."
Emperor Hongzhi looked at everyone, smiled and said.
The Eastern Main Line must be built. This is related to the most important taxation, food, population, and economic areas. It is also related to my future visits to my hometown of Fengyang and Nanjing to worship my ancestors.
As for the east-west artery, it is also very important. It is related to the Ming Dynasty¡¯s rule over the Western Regions, Henan and other regions, and it is also related to the Ming Dynasty¡¯s trade with Europe, West Asia, Persia and other regions.
"If railways and trains are built, Ming Dynasty's goods can be continuously transported to Europe by train. This is much faster than shipping by sea. The key is that it is safer.
Of course, Emperor Hongzhi also really wanted to visit the Western Regions, Henan and other regions, and wanted to be the first emperor to go to these places. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com); Emperor Hongzhi looked at everyone, smiled and said.
