    Tianjin North Railway Station.

    "Woooo~"

    With the sound of whistles, the train that Emperor Hongzhi and others were riding began to slow down slowly. After an hour and a half of journey, it finally arrived in Tianjin.

    "Are you arriving in Tianjin now?"

    Zhang Mao looked out the window slightly dumbfounded. He could clearly see the high-rise buildings outside, and he could also see the chimneys standing on the ground in the distance, and the billowing smoke was continuously emitted into the sky.

    You can be sure, this is Tianjin.

    Nowadays, in the entire northern region, only Beijing and Tianjin have such a scene.

    But if you count the time, you will arrive in Tianjin in less than two hours?

    ¡°You¡¯ll be arriving in Tianjin in less than two hours?¡±

    Not only Zhang Mao was dumbfounded, Liu Jian looked at everything outside the window and couldn't help but ask.

    "This is too fast."

    Li Dongyang sighed.

    "Haha, of course~"

    When Zhu Houzhao heard this, he couldn't help but said proudly: "When the trains were built, they were kept as straight as possible, which greatly shortened the distance. Secondly, the trains ran on the railway tracks, and there was no need to compete with other carriages and the like.  The most important thing is that these are mechanical forces."

    "Relying on powerful steam power, this speed is nothing. Maybe we can build a faster steam locomotive in the future, and then it may not even take an hour."

    Zhu Houzhao is still very confident in this regard, because he has personally participated in the research of steam locomotives and is very clear about the technological development process of steam locomotives. From the beginning, they were weak and slow, and gradually developed the powerful steam locomotives they have now.  locomotive.

    Liu Jin on the side also smiled and nodded after hearing this.

    The speed of later high-speed trains exceeds 300 kilometers per hour. The intercity high-speed rail in the Beijing-Tianjin area can reach Tianjin from Beijing in less than half an hour.

    At this speed, it can only be regarded as just the beginning.

    But for this era, it is still the fastest speed.

    Of course, if you use the eight-hundred-mile express, the speed will definitely be faster than it.

    But it is used in emergencies, and can only be used to transport small and light items, but trains are different. It operates at normal speed and can carry a large amount of people and goods.

    This meaning is completely different.

    "Okay, the most important weapon of the country!"

    "I want to meet all the craftsmen involved in railway construction and train manufacturing. Those who have merit will be reported. I will reward you heavily!"

    Emperor Hongzhi was also very happy.

    Look at the sun outside, it¡¯s still high in the sky.

    Originally, he thought that even if the train was fast, it would arrive in Tianjin at least in the evening, but now it has arrived in Tianjin at noon.

    This speed is indeed incredible. The key is that it is also carrying a large car of people.

    "Thank you, Your Majesty~"

    When Zhu Houzhao heard this, he was immediately happy and saluted solemnly to express his thanks.

    "Haha, you naughty little monkey."

    Emperor Hongzhi looked at Zhu Houzhao's appearance, and immediately couldn't help laughing and touched Zhu Houzhao's head.

    It would be better if my son likes to learn how to govern a country and how to be a king, but he has no interest in this aspect at all.

    Fortunately, he is in good health now and is in his prime. He has plenty of time. When he grows up, he will definitely be better. And there are young loyal and ministers such as Liu Jin, Wang Shouren, Yang Yun, etc., who are also the same.  Being young, as long as they are around, there is no need to worry much.

    If he likes to study these things, he can study them by himself.

    In the past, I thought that the prince did not do his job properly and only liked to play with these strange tricks, but now it seems that the importance of these things is also very huge.

    Once this train comes out, as long as the trains and railways extend from now on, the Ming Dynasty's rule will become extremely stable. With such a powerful carrying capacity, the speed is so fast, and it can continue to improve.

    In the future, although the territory of the Ming Dynasty will be vast and boundless, as long as there is a train, places no matter how far away you are can arrive in the morning and evening. In the future, everything in the world will be able to gather in the Ming Dynasty, and we, the descendants of the Yan and Huang Dynasties, will no longer need to be blocked or restricted by mountains, rivers and mountains.

    "Father, I am not speaking for myself."

    "I am speaking to all those involved in train research, railway research, and construction. They have always been called craftsmen. VeryThe prince also had quite a few criticisms. He felt that the prince only studied the humble way, did not respect Confucius and Mencius, and did not learn the ways of the emperor and the way of governing the country. This was not acceptable. Ministers often wrote letters asking Emperor Hongzhi to strictly demand the prince and select famous teachers for the prince.  To teach.

    But these were all rejected by Emperor Hongzhi. This was a carefully considered decision by Emperor Hongzhi after going through many things.

    After all, as an emperor, he also attaches great importance to his successor and has many strict requirements. It is impossible to really let him go.

    The reason why he didn't care was because Emperor Hongzhi felt that what the prince was learning and doing now was meaningful and helpful to the development of the Ming Dynasty.

    The emergence of the train is the best proof. With the train, are you worried about being unable to consolidate the territory of the Ming Dynasty?

    Hearing Emperor Hongzhi¡¯s words, Liu Jian, Li Dongyang, Xie Qian and other civil servants were all extremely surprised, and at the same time they couldn¡¯t help but frown slightly.

    ¡° Confucianism has always been the dominant one, excluding hundreds of schools of thought, but judging from the current situation, Emperor Hongzhi seems to have the intention of supporting others.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
