- "Woooo~"
Accompanied by the sound of the train, a train from the capital of the Ming Dynasty to Houzhao City in the west of the Ming Dynasty was moving forward on the railway track.
This railway across Europe and Asia is currently the longest railway in the world. It stretches from the capital of the Ming Dynasty to the west to Houzhao City on the Baltic Sea coast. It is tens of thousands of miles long. It is the most important railway in the Ming Empire. .
The opening of this railway greatly strengthened the Ming Empire's control over many provinces in the western region, and also strengthened the exchanges between the East and the West in Europe.
In the past, the exchanges between the Ming Dynasty and Europe relied more on sea routes, but since the opening of this railway, goods from the Ming Empire can be continuously transported to Europe through the railway, which greatly facilitates the connection between the East and the West. business dealings.
This long railway spans many important geographical areas, from the North China Plain through Henan, Shaanxi, Gansu, the Western Regions, Central Asia, Northwest, and Black Earth Province, and has experienced plains, plateaus, deserts, grasslands, swamps, etc. Series of geographical areas.
In order to build this railway, the Ming Empire invested more than 1 billion taels of silver in it. In this era, except for the Ming Empire with such huge financial resources, manpower and technology, no other country can Build such a railway.
Of course, although this railway costs a lot, its importance to the Ming Empire cannot be explained by money at all.
With this railway, Ming Dynasty¡¯s local industrial and commercial products can be continuously sold to Persia, Ottoman, Middle East, Mediterranean, Europe and other regions.
Similarly, the products produced in these provinces in the western region of Ming Dynasty can also be continuously transported back to the mainland of Ming Dynasty.
Like cattle, sheep, wool, and fruits in the Western Region, grain, cattle and sheep in Hezhong Province, cattle and sheep in Central Asia, wood and fur in Northwest Province, and grain, cattle and sheep in Black Earth Province.
Because of this railway, the price of beef and mutton on the dining table of the Ming Dynasty plummeted, and it became a very common dish that every household could afford. Beef and mutton cost ten cents per catty, and pork cost several cents per catty. The large ones enriched the Ming Dynasty¡¯s dining table.
In addition, wealth from Persia, the Ottoman Empire, the Middle East, the Mediterranean and Europe also continuously flowed into the Ming Empire through this railway, allowing the entire Ming Empire to benefit from it.
Zhu Zaiji put down the "Geography of the Ming Dynasty" in his hand. What he had just read was an introduction to the railway in front of him. This geography book written by the Ming Dynasty New School College introduced in detail a lot of geographical information of the Ming Dynasty, including the key points. Several major railways in the Ming Dynasty.
Looking at the scenery outside, we have been walking along the road for more than 10 days. Calculating the time, we will soon enter Ryazan Mansion.
The scene in front of me has completely changed.
Unlike the bustling scenes seen in the Ming Dynasty, everything here seems so desolate. You can't see any human habitation or city for a long, long time.
??Out the window is an endless wilderness, with extremely dense virgin forests, extremely clean lakes and rivers, and even more, endless vast grasslands.
There are no herdsmen or immigrant towns on the grassland. Instead, there are groups of wild horses, wild sheep, and howling wolves standing on the hillsides. Occasionally, you can see blind bears scratching their itches on the big trees.
The air here is filled with the breath of wilderness, and only the railway in front of you reminds you that there are still traces of people here.
A gust of cold wind blew, and Zhu Zaiji closed the window.
Although summer has begun now, the temperature here is still very low. Because of the relatively high dimension, summer here always comes late, and winter always comes early.

Even though summer is about to begin, there is still a bit of cold here.
"well!"
Zhu Zaiji couldn't help but sigh.
¡°In fact, he doesn¡¯t want to be a vassal king or build a vassal state at all.
??This vassal state, at best, means freedom, but at worst, it means giving you some money to go to a wilderness area, where you can settle down and take root from now on.
It doesn¡¯t matter what you want, but it doesn¡¯t matter. How can it be compared with the bustling capital city.
In the capital, the roads are all spacious cement roads. You can go wherever you want by driving. Electric lights illuminate every place. You can listen to songs, watch football games, horse racing, bird watching, etc., not to mention how comfortable it is. .
&??, as for the young people, who would want to take advantage of him?
Fortunately, his two daughters married the Emperor of Heaven, became his concubines, and gave birth to several children. Because the mother was more valuable than the son, he was awarded the title of earl.
After all, he is also a nobleman of the Ming Empire, and in the three-thirds of an acre of land in Ryazan, the Grand Duke of Ryazan is still a prominent person here, and his words are still very useful here.
But as time goes by, his influence has become weaker and weaker.
"Hey, maybe I should find time to go to the capital to see Yelena and Avrona, otherwise I may be buried with regrets in this life."
Thinking of his daughter, Yin Wan Wu felt a lot of longing in his heart. For people in Europe, daughters are also heirs, and their status is similar to that of sons. He has not seen his daughter for more than 20 years. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com - Didn't finish reading?
