Xiaohuangmen looks like this, but the rank in the inner palace is not low.
And being able to be taken by Eunuch Wang Yun and taught by his ear, I think he is a smart person.
Just like just now, Qi Xingyun wanted to...
Qi Xingyun wanted to draw, and Wei Zhong did a good job, holding down the corners of the paper that were blown up by the wind.
Qi Xingyun took the paper and pointed at the picture and said: "You can call a human-powered rail car a hand-rolled car. It can be designed for two people or four people."
"Using the lever principle, it drives the inclined axis, and the inclined axis drives the crankshaft. It weighs less than two hundred kilograms, and can probably carry three to four hundred kilograms of cargo."
"It perfectly meets your requirements. It doesn't require horsepower, just manpower, and it runs pretty fast. It can run about eighty miles in an hour. It's not very fast, and it doesn't pull much, but it's easy to make."
Zhang Tingyu and Shen Yicong looked at this picture for a long time, then they both bowed their heads and said, "Your Majesty is wise, this solves a big problem."
Qi Xingyun knew that human-powered rail cars would eventually be eliminated, and said with a smile: "Whatever is a big problem is just a small problem."
"When several horse farms come out, Yuzhou will probably be the main force in freight transportation. My two-person car is still too small."
Zhang Tingyu carefully put away the words painted by the emperor and said: "Your Majesty, I don't know something. This track costs a lot of money."
"Especially for this iron-clad wooden track, seven thousand guan for one mile is not enough. The track leading from the capital to the north cost nearly 7 million guan!"
"Not counting the cost of each station and the replacement of the entire track in the future, it is an even higher figure."
"Actually, the Science and Technology Garden is under great pressure. The road has been repaired, but it has been unusable for a long time. There is nothing to use! How many people are waiting to catch the Science and Technology Garden so that they can read this book."
When Qi Xingyun heard this, his face suddenly changed, and he said loudly: "Let's see who dares!"
Qi Xingyun is annoyed by this kind of people the most. They will ignore the good state affairs and look for shortcomings!
"Not giving time, not giving opportunity, not looking at everything, and even entangled them in groups, and ruined this kind of national governance that benefits the country and the people."
"What is their purpose? It's very simple! When the court has no money to build roads and they auction these roads, they will take them for themselves!"
"Is that for the imperial court? That's the profit from Greedy Jinqiao Silver Road!"
"Despicable!"
Qi Xingyun was so angry that Eunuch Wang Yun and Wei Zhong immediately fell to the ground, not daring to take a breath.
The emperor was not so angry when he killed more than a hundred ministers in the main hall.
Even Zhang Tingyu lowered his head and did not dare to speak. He originally only wanted to complain about the difficult national affairs, but he did not expect to make the emperor so angry.
Zhang Tingyu certainly has the right to complain. As Qi Xingyun's current number one minister, he will soon take over from Wan Jin and become the first assistant!
Unexpectedly, a small complaint about the Science and Technology Garden's inability to design products of a suitable quality and a few thoughtless chats aroused the emperor's anger.
Qi Xingyun was still angry. He thought for a long time and said, "Even if a horse pulls a horse on the track, it's still faster than a carriage! It takes less effort than a carriage."
"Every one counts, who says the track needs to stop."
"Ignoring the outside of the court for now, all the courtiers in the court will be fined half a year's salary for the first time! For the second time, they will be thrown to the north to grow pasture! And for the second time, they will be exiled to Lingnan."
"No! I will dismiss you from office for the second time and throw you to Lingnan! You are going against the grain! You are eating the food of the imperial court and not doing things for the imperial court. You are just holding back your legs. Even if you kill me, it won't be too much! Eunuch Wang Yun, take note of this. Make it the norm!”
Eunuch Wang Yun asked tremblingly: "The emperor has said that he will abolish the track, should he be deposed and returned to the court or should he be beheaded?"
"What do you think?" Qi Xingyun asked with eyes wide open.
Eunuch Wang Yun didn't dare to ask any more questions, so he recorded the crime as beheading.
Zhang Tingyu also wiped the sweat from his forehead. He didn't dare to ask, so he remembered it as beheading...
After all, beheading is not too much. The emperor said that a gentleman's words are hard to catch up with.
"Your Majesty, why are you so angry?" Zhang Tingyu looked around, and it was only appropriate for him to ask.
Queen Zhao had been paying attention to Qi Xingyun, and when she saw Qi Xingyun being so angry, she also came over. He supported Qi Xingyun and said: "Your Majesty, don't be too angry. What happened? What to solve? Being angry will hurt your body. Wei Zhong, go get some tea."
Wei Zhong quickly got up and went to the car to get water.
Empress Zhao said with a smile: "Drink some water to help you feel better. I made some ginger and brown sugar tea before setting off to dispel the cold and warm my stomach."
Qi Xingyun finally lost most of his anger, and his anger was indeed somewhat unreasonable.
He looked at Zhang Tingyu and asked: "Master Zhang, what do you think this is under our feet?"
Zhang Tingyu stamped his feet and said, "Your Majesty, we have Daqi under our feet!"
Qi Xingyun nodded. Zhang Tingyu's answer was the standard answer, but that was not what he was talking about.
He stepped on the gravel under his feet and said, "There is ballast under our feet."
"Grandmaster Zhang, what's the use of this ballast?" Qi Xingyun asked with a smile.
Ballast is the layer of small stones under the iron-wood track.
Queen Zhao also looked at Zhang Tingyu curiously.
Zhang Tingyu said: "Drainage, shock absorption, it rained heavily this summer, how can we drain the water without this layer of ballast? This royal boat weighs 500 kilograms each, plus the cargo, without this layer of stones, it would have been weighed down long ago. "
"There is another wonderful use! Bachelor Zhang." Qi Xingyun said with a smile.
The stones for ballast are all mined from the upper reaches of Zhuoshui River and can be laid after being screened. They are all carefully selected coarse sand and gravel. Horses can also run on it. Qi Xingyun smiled and stamped his feet, and said, "In other words, this track can also transport cargo back and forth in winter." "
"Horses can't run freely in winter because the ground will freeze. This is why there is an attack window."
"However, with the track, winter freight will no longer be affected by the weather! Prepare for war in winter and attack in spring!"
"Everywhere the track touches is flat soil!"
Zhang Tingyu tasted these words in silence and said with a smile: "That's exactly it."
Qi Xingyun stepped on the ballast and walked a long way. Eunuch Wang Yun ran over, bowed his head and said, "Your Majesty, everything is ready and we can set off."
Qi Xingyun kicked a stone and said, "Master Zhang asked me why I was angry. I was actually worried about the auction of salt, iron and tracks when Da Qi's court was short of money."
"Eunuch Wang, add another sentence to the sentence I asked you to write down just now..."
Qi Xingyun took a deep breath.
Regardless of whether they are wealthy businessmen or officials, when the country's political affairs are in chaos, they will become crazy and turn into worms of the country, frantically swooping on these things to suck blood.
Use various legal and illegal means to devour domestic products.
"It is a public weapon of the country, and it does not matter whether it is profit or loss."
