Chapter 751: Railway construction

? The brand new flash hider sparkles with metallic luster.
　　
　　 Song Changping was excited, and the barbarians threatened the Great Yu Kingdom like a sharp sword. Everyone would remember the blood debts of many generations, and could not wait to destroy them overnight.
　　
　　 "The emperor is ambitious, and the name of this conquest will surely be written down in history books." Song Changping bowed and said.
　　
Xiao Ming lightly stroked the body of the Zhenglu musket, feeling the cold metal texture. He returned the musket to Song Changping and said: "Since I became the emperor, you all have learned to flattery. It is not necessary to sing praises. It is the right thing for the country to provide new weapons."
　　
　　 Song Changping rubbed his hands hurriedly. The first time he slapped the horse, he patted the horse's leg and said, "The emperor, this time the official came here to ask for advice."
　　
　　Since Xiao Ming changed his attitude of not asking about these chores, he often went back to Qingzhou University to discuss the firearms with Xiao Ming.
　　
　　 Xiao Ming had already guessed a few points, and said, "Just say anything."
　　
　　 "The emperor sent Chen Qi the drawings for the rear-mounted artillery. Does this mean that the rear-mounted gun can also be installed?" Song Changping said.
　　
　　 Xiao Ming nodded, "You guessed right, this is what I want your military workshop to do next. Don't forget what I told you."
　　
　　 Song Changping has not forgotten that Xiao Ming once said that the weapons of the Great Yu country should be equipped, developed and designed for one generation.
　　
　　 Now that the flash cap firing gun belongs to the generation of research and development, and it is moving towards equipment, then it is time to study a new type of gun.
　　
　　 "The next official understands, and when he goes back, he will summon the craftsmen to do this." Song Changping said.
　　
　　Western interference caused the surrounding environment of Great Yu to deteriorate rapidly, which made Xiao Ming had to upgrade his weapons to ensure his own safety.
　　
　　 After all, seriously speaking, the present Great Yu country has not yet been truly unified, and the southern half of the country is still in the hands of the King of Chu, who is supported by the French.
　　
　　 And the northern barbarians needless to say, the Japanese and the British are struggling, and there is an uncontrolled Tubo in the west, who may be stabbed at any time, so all these really annoy him.
　　
　　 Originally, he wanted to calm down and recuperate, but his thinking was too simple, and now it seems that the enemy would never give him this opportunity.
　　
　　 The two briefly talked about the breech gun, and Song Changping went back with a look of excitement.
　　
　　 For Song Changping, he is worrying about what to do next? Now Xiao Ming pointed out a clear path for him, and he really couldn't ask for it.
　　
　　 Song Changping left, a silver bell-like laughter sounded not long before, and the figure of Princess Pingyang appeared outside the imperial study room.
　　
　　 "Your Majesty, this Song Changping looks pretty." Princess Pingyang said as she entered the imperial study room.
　　
　　 Xiao Ming has always had a headache for this famous aunt, he put aside this topic directly, but asked: "Aunt seldom comes to the imperial study room, this time there must be very important things."
　　
Princess Pingyang has long been accustomed to the appearance of Xiao Ming's business affairs. She showed a dull look and said with a serious face: "The emperor, I am here this time because of the railway. Now it takes a lot of labor to lay the railway, but now The Railway Department simply couldn't convene so many, and even if it was convened, the money allocated by the court to the Railway Department would not be enough to pay them. If the emperor did not allow the people to serve in service, the railway would not be ready for ten and a half years. "
　　
　　Xiao Ming frowned. Princess Pingyang was telling the truth, so he asked Liang Dahai to go to the ancient city of Hai to recruit the Koreans to come to Da Yu to build the railway.
　　
　　The reason is very simple. The people of Da Yu country want money to build railways, and they don’t want to do it if they don’t have enough money.
　　
As for Princess Binh Duong’s statement about the corvee, he had tried, but was denied. Now the people’s livelihood in the north is suffering. At this time, the people should resume farming instead of participating in the construction of the railway. Moreover, the emerging industry also needs a lot of money. Labor.
　　
　　 What's more, the population of Dayu is densely populated in the south because of the continuous wars in the north, and the north is all, and suffered a lot of slaughter during the Northern War.
　　
　　 It’s a bit out of time to re-establish military service. After all, after the war, it is generally exempted from military service.
　　
　　 "Don't worry, Auntie, I have already sent Liang Dahai to go to Korea to call for hard labor. I guess I will be back soon." Xiao Ming comforted.
　　
　　 He didn't dare to neglect this matter. The railway is a channel connecting the resource supply area and the industrial center. The early completion of the railway will benefit the country.
　　
Princess Pingyang breathed a sigh of relief. She said to Xiao Ming;
My lord, the Qingzhou railway has been laid for fifty miles, and the Qingzhou platform has basically taken shape. Today, the Railway Department is about to test the performance of the steam locomotive on the railway. Well, today I came mainly to invite the emperor to observe it in person."
　　
　　 Xiao Ming was stunned when he heard the words. Since this aunt settled in Qingzhou, people have become more reliable. The fifty-mile railway is really a surprise to him.
　　
　　 After all, this steam locomotive has not been developed for long.
　　
　　Undoubtedly, this railway is an important project for him, and it can even be said to be a project related to the national transport of Da Yu.
　　
　　 In Xiao Ming's plan, the control of the northeast of Dayu Kingdom relied on the railway network, so that the logistics were guaranteed, and his army would be able to hold a foothold in the northeast.
　　
　　 With excitement in his heart, Xiao Ming said: "Aunty is kindly invited, how can I not go?"
　　
　　 After that, Xiao Ming got up and the Princess Pingyang walked out~EbookFREE.me~ Princess Pingyang has prepared a carriage at the gate of the line.
　　
　　 Xiao Ming got on the carriage of Princess Pingyang and headed to Beicheng District of Qingzhou under the protection of the escorts. Qingzhou Station was from here to go in all directions.
　　
　　 After walking ten miles, the carriage stopped in front of Qingzhou Station. After getting off the carriage, Xiao Ming looked at Qingzhou Station, which was still under construction.
　　
At this time, the buildings on both sides of Qingzhou Station are basically completed. One railway extends along Qingzhou Station, and there are 13 railway branches in the platform, but these branches have not yet started, and the rails are just laid for a short period of time. Terminated.
　　
　　 "The secret of the Dayu National Railway seems to be unkeepable." After looking at Qingzhou Station, Xiao Ming's eyes were attracted by a dozen blonde Westerners.
　　
　　 After Dengzhou became a trading port, some foreign merchants appeared in Qingzhou City from time to time. They came to Qingzhou for the purpose of purchasing goods from the country.
　　
　　 The people of Qingzhou are not surprised at this.
　　
　　Princess Pingyang turned her head to look in the direction that Xiao Ming was staring at, and said calmly: "Isn't it possible to be seen by these barbarians just to promote the power of my great Yu country?"
　　
　　 Xiao Ming did not speak. In fact, his current industrial level is not much different from that of the West. The West that he can produce can also produce.
　　
　　 The real gap is that the brains of Westerners have not yet been reached. If they understand the technical principles, they will soon be able to imitate them.
　　
　　 Therefore, he thinks it is time to engage in a technical blockade.
