Ming Dynasty: Cured The Emperor's Grandson At The Beginning, And Relied On Science And Engineer

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhu Di stood up with a shout: "Seriously?

Has it been solved in the Qin Dynasty? "

Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Biao were also excited. They stood up involuntarily and listened carefully.

But Zhu Di couldn't help but say suspiciously: "Brother Huai'an,

Could it be Qin Chidao you want to say? Qinchi Road has long been abandoned.

Besides, Chidao's effect in transporting grain is not very good. "

"I'm not talking about Qin Chidao."

Su Ran shook his head and said: "The rail car was invented in the Qin Dynasty.

Using sleepers as rails and a six-horse cart, it could transport hundreds of thousands of kilograms of grain at a time and travel eight hundred miles a day. "

"really?"

Zhu Di couldn't help shouting: "This speed is almost catching up with the Beijing-Hangzhou Canal!"

"What do you think?"

Su Ran sneered and said: "When Qin destroyed Chu,

Wang Jian used 600,000 troops at once!

How much food do these 600,000 troops consume in just eating and drinking in one day?

Even with the support of the whole country,

If consumption had not been reduced, the transportation of grain and fodder alone would have brought Qin to ruin long ago. "

Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Biao in the next room took a breath of cold air.

"That's right." Zhu Biao said solemnly: "Father, the Qin State has mobilized an army of 600,000 people.

If there is no way to reduce consumption on the road,

Even the support from Zhongpingyuan and Shuzhong has long been exhausted.

Moreover, there will be large-scale projects such as the Great Wall and the conquest of Baiyue and the Qinling Mausoleum in Lishan Mountain.

Both of them are major projects carried out by hundreds of thousands of civilian craftsmen!

If there is no way to reduce losses, how can we support such a large project? "

"Don't talk, keep listening to him."

Zhu Yuanzhang raised his hand to stop Zhu Biao and said calmly.

But Zhu Di then asked: "Brother Huai'an, is the rail car you mentioned real?"

"There are still carriage tracks left over from the Qin Dynasty in the suburbs of Nanyang."

Su Ran shook his head and said: "The rail car is not difficult to build, but the difficulty lies in laying the rails.

Wherever your car wants to go, the tracks must be laid.

This money is getting old. "

Zhu Di felt as if he had a toothache: "Wherever the car goes, the track must be laid?

Just to transport some grain? Isn’t this a small consumption? "

Even Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Biao's faces were twitching.

To be honest, so many tracks have to be laid just to transport grain.

It's definitely not worth it.

"Just to transport some grain?"

Su Ran sneered and said: "Do you think Qin Shihuang just wanted to transport grain?

Let me tell you, Qin Shihuang was very excited!

He wants to use this rail car to stabilize his rule and the foundation of the Qin Dynasty! "

"Um?"

Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Biao's eyes immediately lit up when they heard this.

Qin Shihuang did not use Confucianism to unify his thoughts, and the two men knew it.

After all, the political foundation of Confucianism at that time was the feudal system.

It’s completely different from Qin Shihuang’s system of prefectures and counties!

The burning of books and the entrapment of Confucianism completely aroused Confucianism's distaste for Qin Shihuang.

Qin Shihuang definitely wanted to find another way to stabilize his rule and strengthen unity.

That’s why we have the same text in books, the same track in cars, unified weights and measures, and unified currency.

This series of measures are all aimed at stabilizing rule.

Why does this rail car contribute to the stability of the rule?

Neither of them has a science background.

I couldn't figure out the key for a while.

But Su Ran, urged by Zhu Di, continued: "Think about it.

Once this rail car is laid, can it transport troops besides grain and fodder?

Wherever there is rebellion, it will start in the morning and come in the evening! "

"Yes! How could I forget this?"

Zhu Di slapped his forehead.

Zhu Biao and Zhu Yuanzhang immediately slapped their thighs.

By the way, transporting food is possible, and transporting troops is also feasible!

If you can transport tens of thousands of soldiers and horses at one time, if there is a rebellion somewhere, send troops there immediately and it will be over!

Is it still necessary to go to such trouble?

"Also, if you think about it again, in addition to grain, will the logistics of goods also be accelerated?"

Su Ran continued to explain: “Speed ​​up logistics in various places,

Everywhere will soon become wealthy.

Now that everyone has money, who still wants to rebel?

With this rail car, those merchants were also contained.

This is not counting the bank we have figured out now!

These tracks are like chains covering the inside and outside of the dynasty! "

"Stay!" Zhu Di slapped her thigh hard again.

Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Biaoye's breathing became rapid at the same time.

Although the two of them don't understand Su Ran's study of objects.

But I also understand the principle of grasping with both hands, and both hands must be strong.

The ideological realm must be grasped, and the economic power must also be grasped!

If Su Ran said that rail cars and banks are implemented together, and Confucianism is added to consolidate people's hearts.

Do you still need to worry about the instability of the country?

"I finally understand this problem."

Zhu Yuanzhang clapped his thigh and sighed: "For thousands of years, Confucianism has been ruling people's hearts.

But being good at knowledge but short of practice is like a dynasty that has a lame leg.

How can we go long term?

If we can't go far, we will be destroyed. "

Then after thinking for a while, Zhu Yuanzhang said to Luo Qianshi beside him: "Pass the order.

Immediately dispatch Jin Yiwei to Nanyang to investigate.

If you find out anything about the track, come back and report it immediately! "

"Here!" Luo Qianshi nodded immediately.

"in addition."

Zhu Yuanzhang stood up, walked around for a few steps, and said, "Go back and ask Su Ran to copy the rail car for us, so that we can see with our own eyes how fast the rail car is."

"Father, is this not good?"

Zhu Biao was a little embarrassed and said: "Su Ran is in charge of firearms now.

You just handed over the weapon forging to him again. Is he too busy now? "

"Just ask Jin Yiwei."

Zhu Yuanzhang sneered at Zhu Biao's statement: "Every time this brat comes to work, he divides the work directly.

Then he summoned the chief craftsmen to share the work, so that he would be idle all day long. "

"Indeed." Zhu Biao said thoughtfully: "Father, this is strange to say.

He arranged for these craftsmen to work seven days a week,

A day off, good wages, and bonuses.

Craftsmen only work four hours a day.

But the production speed has increased by more than ten times! "

"This is why his management is organized."

Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help but sigh: "Like us,

If people are used like animals, efficiency will not increase.

Boss, it seems we have to change this too.

This is why I made you a full-time official.

It is said that yin and yang complement each other, and there is a degree of relaxation.

But what we do is still not meticulous enough, otherwise why would government affairs be so complicated? "

"My child has taken note of it." Zhu Biao nodded and said.

"Boss, it's actually not difficult to find these problems."

Zhu Yuanzhang clasped his hands behind his back and sighed: "The king has been trapped in the Forbidden City for too long.

I can't see the lives of the people at the bottom, nor can I hear their voices.

There are many things that we take for granted.

Or it was the collective deception of all the officials in the imperial court.

Little do they know that one kind of rice feeds a thousand kinds of people in this world, and everyone has their own ideas.

As long as we can synthesize the thoughts of the vast majority of people, it is correct. "

"My father taught me a lesson, and my son remembered it." Zhu Biao was convinced.

The conversation between Zhu Di and Su Ran next door began to become obscene.

In order not to pollute their ears, Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Biao decisively drove back to the palace.

After eavesdropping on their conversations many times, they knew their habits.

As soon as the conversation starts slipping from high to low.

It was when the drinking party between the two of them was about to end.

…

Inside the courtyard of Nanhu Village.

Su Ran fiddled with the imperial edict in her hand and stood with the two scholars next to her.

Look at the sand table terrain map on the ground.

The two scholars, one surnamed Lin and the other surnamed Gu, are both currently teaching in private schools.

One teaches the investigation of objects and the other teaches economics, but now he has not done enough in learning.

In other words, when you have reached the bottleneck in learning, you are ready to do something practical.

He turned around and said, "What do you two think?"

Lin Jiaoxi and Gu Jiaoxi looked at each other and said in unison: "Sir, the two of us have reached a bottleneck in arithmetic.

Now we are about to use practice to break the mystery on the plate.

Don’t worry, adults. We have each brought out three teachers.

Fully competent for daily teaching. "

"That's good." Su Ran was very satisfied.

Now that he has a high salary and generous treatment, the teaching force of the village has been formed.

Newly recruited teachers were also brainwashed by his theory of integrating knowledge with action.

It won't take too long for your own academy to begin.

He then said: "When the farm and firearms workshop are officially put into operation,

I will keep the title of doctor for both of them! "

When they heard Su Ran's promise again, they were overjoyed.

These scholars are like this. They want money and fame.

Just when Su Ran was planning the location of the firearms workshop.

The Jin Yiwei sent out by Zhu Yuanzhang have been working hard at night to bring back the Qin Dynasty carriage tracks.

Qianqing Palace, in the main hall.

Zhu Yuanzhang is observing the Qin Dynasty carriage tracks brought by Jin Yiwei.

This section of track is five or six meters long.

The entire track is made of pine wood, and its surface is blackened after thousands of years of wind, frost, rain and snow.

The surface is covered with cracks, but it is still as hard as iron.

Knock it up and it will make a sound of gold and iron.

"Just how do these carriages and wheels work?"

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the paved track and rubbed his beard on his chin.

He couldn't figure out how the wheels above worked on the track.

And it’s so fast!

Out of understanding of Su Ran.

"Let Su Ran get this rail car out later."

But remembering what Jin Yiwei reported, after Su Ran produced the sand table map of Jinling City,

After Lao Zhu thought about the rail car for a while, he suddenly became interested again.

"Tell Su Ran again."

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the sand table and said to the Jin Yiwei below: "Let him arrange the people.

According to the dimensions of the border cities, make a sand table for us! "

Queen Ma, who walked in with a food box, heard these words and immediately said with dissatisfaction: "Chongba, how can you treat people like animals? Su Ran has a lot of part-time jobs now."

Zhu Yuanzhang took the food box and said angrily: "Compared with that boy Su Ran.

I think we are the big beasts.

Being placed on the millstone of the Ming Dynasty, I was almost dead from exhaustion.

If the boss could learn even a little bit, he Lao'zi wouldn't be so tired every day to achieve this kind of virtue. "

Seeing that Lao Zhu had plans, Queen Ma didn't know what to say.

While serving him porridge, he said, "When can Su Ran's academy be opened?

I see you're not in a hurry at all. "

"You don't understand, girl!"

Zhu Yuanzhang held the porridge bowl and sipped slowly, shook his head and said: "Before,

Su Ran reformed the ordnance and firearms workshops,

Although it is beneficial to the Ming Dynasty, its reputation is not obvious.

If he really wanted to open the academy, he had to get a head start and build his reputation.

When he fully establishes his reputation, you see, those Huaixi nobles will definitely compete to enter the academy. "

"Are you going to arrange for the noble disciples to come in first?"

Queen Ma, who was knitting a sweater, said in surprise: "Aren't you afraid that these dandies will damage the academy?"

"It can't be broken!"

Zhu Yuanzhang put down his spoon and said with a sneer: "Our hero was also playful before.

Wasn't it also being punished by Su Ran now?

The pettiness of those dandies cannot change the world! "

Queen Ma understood immediately.

Although she didn't understand government affairs, she also knew that Lao Zhu wanted to attack the noble children.

If Su Ran once made a name for himself in the academy.

Those noble disciples will definitely flock here.

Zhu Yuanzhang will then take advantage of this opportunity to take advantage of his noble sons.

Force them to spit out the land they have embezzled over the years.

It can be said that killing three birds with one stone.

"In the final analysis, the reason why those noble families embezzled people's houses and fields."

After finishing a bowl of porridge, Lao Zhu narrowed his eyes and said slowly: "I still think about my descendants.

The land may not produce the most, but it is the most stable.

Even if your own children are mediocre, they can last longer.

But now Su Ran has opened an academy.

It is equivalent to giving these headless nobles a glimmer of hope.

They were fighting for a few acres of land, not to mention the chance to continue their family. "

See her husband and learn from Su Ran's way of thinking about problems.

Queen Ma looked pleased.

According to Lao Zhu's idea, the lifeblood of the noble disciples will be firmly blocked.

In this way, those noble families who call themselves sister-in-law and sister all day long can completely save their wealth and lives.

Thinking of this, Queen Ma summoned the palace maid.

Give him the sweater you knitted as a reward.

"Sister, from now on, we have to do something in your name."

Zhu Yuanzhang stared at the sweater in her hand and said thoughtfully.

…

Su Ran, who is lazing around in Nanhu Village, has just finished planning the weapons bureau.

Zhu Yuanzhang's imperial edict came down.

He was also assigned a task to build a sand table and make car tracks.

And Lao Zhu also promised that after doing these two things, he would fully support him in opening the academy.

After carefully surveying the surrounding terrain, Su Ran thought about it carefully.

It was still selfish to connect the truck track with his farm.

Later, the truck track was extended for a section towards the poorer villages and towns nearby.

Compared with the previous four chiefs, the villagers in these poor ravines are almost crazy poor.

I simply cannot resist the temptation and brainwashing of my own big farm.

Su Ran plans to destroy these places.

All turned into Jinling City vegetable and fruit supply base.

Moreover, with Lao Zhu's talent and strategy, he definitely wants more.

Therefore, Su Ran wanted to show him the true face of the train tracks.

The manufacture of carriages and wheels in Qin Dynasty trains was not difficult.

The difficulty lies in the tracks.

Even with assembly lines and lathe processing.

Su Ran still spent a lot of time laying the tracks.
